Chapter 18
“…” Tang Xin’s body stiffened. She wanted to push his face away but was held by him.
“Or do you want to give up your favorite piano?”
Yeah, it was her favorite. She had nothing to be proud of other than piano.
“What do you want me to do?” she asked softly, and his icy eyes looked even scarier up close.
Li Yunshen let go of her and changed into a comfortable position. “You can start.”
Tang Xin was startled, and for a while she didn’t understand what he wanted her to start doing.
After a long wait, Li Yunshen opened his eyes and saw the girl at a loss in front of her eyes. He curled his lip coldly, “You don’t know how?”
Tang Xin shook her head slightly, and Li Yunshen suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled her over.
“I’ll only teach you once, do it yourself next time.”
Then, the breathing in the silent room became chaotic in the dark night.
8…
At dawn, Tang Xin, who had had trouble sleeping that night, washed herself up and went downstairs, just in time to see the movers carefully bringing a grand piano into the area near the French window.
It was actually an art case piano that put together the essence of Chinese and Western arts — the Sound of Harmony!
According to reports, this was the world’s first art case piano that brought together the world’s top piano production technology, combined with contemporary Chinese color ink art, and it was the only one of its kind in the world.
She went forward and looked at it with joy. She couldn’t help but ask Sister Liu, who was giving instructions, “Sister Liu, this piano…”
“Like it?”
A cold voice came from behind her, and the smile on Tang Xin’s face froze. Shouldn’t he have gone to work?
After the piano was properly placed, Li Yunshen walked over, and his well-defined fingers slid over the piano cover. After opening the cover, his fingers slid over the keys and played a string of ethereal music.
“Come and test the sound.”
When Tang Xin heard it, she came forward in disbelief and looked at the piano. Her clear eyes shone brightly, and her touch was so soft, like she was touching her lover.
She sat in front of the piano eagerly, took a deep breath, and her ten slender fingers started playing “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” on the keys.
Li Yunshen leaned on the piano, staring coldly at the woman who was playing this song. He realized that she seemed to be glowing all over as soon as she came into contact with piano, and she could put all her emotions into it immediately, as if she was the only person in the whole world.
Without a doubt, at this moment, she was so beautiful that it was suffocating.
“Is it for me?” After the song was over, Tang Xin turned back, her eyes showing childlike desire.
With his elbow on the piano, Li Yunshen bent over to support her chin, and ridiculed coldly, “Don’t you like playing piano so much that you have to perform outside to make a living?”
Tang Xin’s heart trembled. She immediately looked away, took back her hand, lowered her head, and said softly, “You promised me last night.”
“What did I promise you?” Li Yunshen forcefully lifted her face.
“You said that… if we did that, I can continue to play piano outside.” Tang Xin bit her lip, blushing shyly as she recalled the scene last night.
1“Did I say that?” Li Yunshen used his fingers to feel her bitten lips.
“You…” Tang Xin suddenly realized that he had lied to her!
“Your first kiss was exchanged for the chance for you to take piano lessons. Tell me, did you really go and learn piano?”
“…” she had indeed lied to him from the start. There were no piano lessons — that was just an excuse she had come up with so that she could go out and make money.
“Last night was just a punishment for playing mind games. I told you, don’t play games with me.”
