She walked downstairs and heard the sound of the piano.
It was coming from the suite where Xiao Zexin lived.
Jian Yufei walked to the door and saw Nangong Yi sitting at the piano, playing with concentration.
There seed to be a pleasant reading voice coming from inside the bedroom.
"If you are in love with a flower on a certain planet, then just by looking up at the stars at night, you will feel that the stars are like blooming flowers..."
This was a sentence from "The Little Prince".
Jian Yufei walked quietly to the bedroom and saw a maid leaning against the windowsill, holding a book in her hands, engrossed in reading the story.
On one side was the sound of music, on the other side was the sound of the story.
Xiao Zexin was listening intently, staring blankly at the ceiling as if nothing else could catch his eye.
Jian Yufei did not disturb them and instead sat down on the sofa outside.
After a long while, the piano lody finished.
The maid inside ca out and, upon seeing Jian Yufei, paused for a mont.
"Thank you for your hard work," Jian Yufei smiled at her, "Your voice is very beautiful."
The maid smiled, "Young master Nangong’s piano playing is what’s truly beautiful."
Saying that, the maid glanced at Nangong Yi, her face slightly red.
Nangong Yi wore a polite smile: "Next ti, if needed, I will ask for your help again."
"I am available anyti. Mrs. Ruan, young master Nangong, I’ll be leaving now."
The maid left sensibly.
Nangong Yi stood up and sat down beside Jian Yufei.
"Cousin, your father’s condition has improved a lot today."
"If you can cure him, I will be very grateful to you."
"No need to thank , as long as you can let return to complete my studies, that would be enough," Nangong Yi’s demands were minimal.
"Do you really want to finish your studies?" Jian Yufei asked curiously.
Nangong Yi nodded: "I won’t hide it from you, I might not live until next year. In this life, my ti is short, unable to achieve anything significant. Only my studies, I can complete."
Jian Yufei nodded in understanding.
She didn’t ask much, but Nangong Yi guessed that she already knew about his health condition.
"Cousin, could you play a song?" Nangong Yi suddenly requested.
Then he explained, "It’s mainly because I’m a bit tired now and want to rest."
"Have you been playing for long?"
"I played the whole day yesterday."
Jian Yufei rembered what Ruan Tianling had said to him yesterday.
[Since it’s effective, keep playing, don’t stop.]
This kid really has been playing non-stop.
Jian Yufei nodded, "You go rest, I’ll continue playing."
She got up and walked toward the piano—
"Cousin!" Nangong Yi suddenly called after her.
Jian Yufei turned back, puzzled, "What’s wrong?"
Nangong Yi frowned, taking a few steps to stand in front of her.
"There’s sothing on the back of your neck."
Jian Yufei’s scalp tingled instantly: "What’s there?!"
Her first reaction was a skin condition.
Nangong Yi made her turn around, his fingers lowered her collar, but just as his face was getting close, he was suddenly yanked away by a strong force!
Nangong Yi lost his balance, his calf hitting the coffee table.
Jian Yufei turned, "Ruan Tianling?!"
Ruan Tianling’s piercing gaze fixed on Nangong Yi: "What are you doing?! If you dare touch her, I’ll chop off your hand at once!"
Nangong Yi steadied himself, "I think you misunderstood."
Ruan Tianling smiled cruelly, "Approaching her is a death sentence!"
Nangong Yi compressed his lips, choosing not to argue further.
Jian Yufei tugged at Ruan Tianling’s sleeve, "He said there was sothing on my neck and just wanted to take a look, you really misunderstood."
