Chu Residence.
Shen Fanxing stepped into the living room. Uncle Chu seemed to be the only one waiting for her.
Seeing her return, he hurried over.
“Missy, Missy is waiting for you in the piano room upstairs.”
Shen Fanxing was slightly surprised. After being stunned for two seconds, she nodded lightly and went upstairs.
Just as she went upstairs, she heard music coming from the corridor.
Shen Fanxing remembered that her mother had taught her piano since she was young.
When she was young, whenever she saw her mother playing the piano in her spare time, she felt that it was the most beautiful scenery.
The piano in her memory was placed beside the bed. Her mother liked to sit there in the afternoon. The sunlight shone on her as she sat there calmly. Her fingertips danced on the black and white keys, gathering the notes into a beautiful tune.
At that time, she was too young and couldn’t understand how she felt. She only felt that everything was magical.
Why did those identical keys “sing” such a nice song?
Hence, her mother started to teach her how to play the piano. After that, she kept learning.
In her memory, her mother rarely played the piano. Until she came back, she had never touched it again.
After so many years, she saw her mother sitting in front of the piano again, tapping on the piano with one hand. Although it was scattered, she could still hear the melody.
Little Star.
That was the first song her mother had taught her.
“Twinkle, twinkle, twinkle. The sky is filled with little stars. They shine brightly in the sky, as if there are many little eyes…”
Following Ji Fengmian’s scattered melody, Ji Fengmian only retracted his hand after the song was over.
“Coming.”
“Yes. I’m sorry, Mom. These few days…”
“I heard about it. You don’t have to explain. Is the old man alright?”
Shen Fanxing nodded and said, “Yes, there shouldn’t be a problem for the time being.”
“You don’t have to worry about Jinchuan’s parents. It’s actually a good thing that the body can’t be found. Bo Sichen isn’t an ordinary person. Just based on the viciousness in his bones, even the King of Hell wouldn’t dare to take him in so early…”
Surprise flashed across Shen Fanxing’s eyes.
The viciousness in her father-in-law’s bones?
She had seen her father-in-law pamper and pamper her mother-in-law the most…
“Are you talking about the same person I’m thinking of?”
Ji Fengmian glanced at her coldly. “What do you think?”
In this world, who was Shen Fanxing afraid of? Ji Fengmian was definitely the first.
With just one look, she could instantly dwarf her mother.
But her mother was right. Not being able to find the body was good news…
“What about you? Why did you call me back in such a hurry?”
The low sound of the zither instantly lowered the atmosphere in the room.
“Are you sure it’s Bo Jinchuan? Shen Fanxing, are you sure you won’t regret it for the rest of your life?”
He called her by her full name.
His expression and tone were solemn, as if he wanted to hear her solemn vow.
“Yes, it’s him. I won’t regret it for the rest of my life.”
Ji Fengmian asked sternly and decisively.
Ji Fengmian looked at her deeply before closing his eyes.
What could he change by asking again?
From the first time she saw her, she could tell that she was serious.
Moreover, she had two babies in her stomach.
“Fanxing, I know you have your own opinions in many aspects, but I was like you back then, okay? I felt that my choice was right, but it wasn’t… I’ve lived for so many years and I’ve always felt that I’ve seen through everything, but that’s not the case either. I can’t help you determine if a man is worth being entrusted to…”
She, Ji Fengmian, could make the most accurate judgment on everything, but men seemed to be the only thing she couldn’t understand in her life…
Perhaps this was the window that God had sealed for her.
“I’m willing to accept any outcome. If it wasn’t for him, I don’t think I would have the strength to love anyone else. I can’t accept not being with him in this life.”
Ji Fengmian pursed his lips and nodded. “Okay, I understand.”
After a series of messy notes, Ji Fengmian paused and took out a score.
“Have you not prepared the song for Country Y’s banquet?”
Shen Fanxing watched as Ji Fengmian placed the music score on the shelf.
She seemed to have guessed something.
“… I’m not ready yet.”
Ji Fengmian nodded and stared at the score in front of him. His fingers were on the keys and he didn’t play a single note for a long time.
“… Then play this song. This is… my favorite song when I was young.”
Shen Fanxing realized that Ji Fengmian’s voice was trembling when he spoke.
Did this song have any special meaning?
Shen Fanxing had her doubts, but she didn’t voice them. She merely nodded.
“… Okay.”
After she finished speaking, Ji Fengmian’s finger landed…
A string of lively music flowed out slowly. The crisp and pleasant sound was like water droplets falling from the sky…
After a few minutes, Shen Fanxing snapped out of her trance.
If she had only listened to the beginning, she would have thought that it was a very lively song. However, after listening to it, what lingered in her ears was a moving song.
There was innocence, anticipation, longing, sadness, and helplessness…
There were too many emotions gathered together, making one fall into an endless aftertaste.
She wanted to taste more emotions.
However, if one were to listen to this song alone, in the eyes of people who did not fully understand music…
But it wasn’t the most outstanding.
Although she didn’t want to spoil the mood, Shen Fanxing said,
“I don’t deny that this is a good song, but is it really suitable to be played at a grand occasion like the state banquet?”
Ji Fengmian raised his hand and took the score. He held it in his hand and caressed it gently.
“…It’s the only song in the world. It’s only for… those who can understand…”
Doubt flashed across Shen Fanxing’s eyes. She couldn’t help but want to ask why it had to be this song. However, Ji Fengmian stuffed the score into her arms.
“Do you want to hear it a few more times? Do you want to play it?”
Shen Fanxing nodded and said, “No need. I’ve almost memorized it. I’ll familiarize myself with it. There shouldn’t be a problem.”
Ji Fengmian frowned. “You memorized it after one round? I don’t remember you being so talented in music when you were young…”
She did have talent, but she wouldn’t be able to play after hearing it once. She couldn’t be a genius either.
