Chapter 163: Chapter 163: A Great Story Chapter 163: Chapter 163: A Great Story “I like it, Vivi wants to wear it.”
Xiao Ming Wei answered loudly.
Xiao Ming Rui and Xiao Ming Han nodded in unison, their eyes lighting up in an instant.
“If you like it, I will go to the yard to wash and hang it to dry. Tomorrow morning, I’ll give it to you to wear.” Before Kang Li could get up, Luo Yanqing took the clothes from her hands, “I’ll wash them.”
Having said that, she got up and left the living room.
Kang Li smiled and then saw Director Song entering the living room with Song Xuan.
The teenager was holding the erhu she had bought for him the day before; upon seeing her, he called out, “Auntie.”
Although he still spoke slowly, his pronunciation was correct and clear.
Thirty minutes went by quickly; yet, Kang Li did not put down the erhu in her hands. Instead, she began to play a piece called “Horse Racing.”
This piece, with its majestic and unrestrained enthusiasm, unintentionally made the listeners feel as if they were in the middle of a horse race.
The valiant jockeys and the galloping, neighing steeds were vividly portrayed by the lody that Kang Li brought forth.
Director Song had so understanding of the erhu, especially the techniques of playing “Horse Racing.”
He could clearly see the crisp and resilient jumping bows from a distance, and the distinct tremolo technique in Kang Li’s playing.
“Bravo! Xiao Li, your ‘Horse Racing’ was just too good!”
As soon as the “Horse Racing” piece ended, not only did Director Song applaud, but he also laughed and praised Kang Li.
Unexpectedly, Kang Li smiled and then played another piece, “Unrestrained.”
Unrestrained, without any hindrances, but after the lack of restraints, cos the deepest of bonds.
“A pot of life and death, a toast to the young, the moon still shines with no perplexity. Unaware of the dashing bravery facing the wind and the waves, a song under the heavens shares a lingering chant.”
Kang Li wasn’t much of a TV watcher, but once when her father was accompanying her mother watching “The Untad,” she couldn’t resist staying in the living room for a mont, and as the the song played, she almost instantly fell in love with it.
The lyrics were beautiful as was the lody.
It was touching, gently flowing, sorrowful, and lonely.
Director Song and Luo Yanqing were spellbound by the music. Even Song Xuan and the three little ones, whether they understood the aning of the piece or not, sat still without moving, their expressions very focused.
…
“The piece you played after ‘Horse Racing’… I haven’t heard it before.”
As the moonlight spilled like water outside the window, Luo Yanqing lay down on the bed and suddenly ntioned.
“I heard it by chance; it’s said to be called ‘Unrestrained,’ and there’s a story behind it. Would you like to hear it?” Kang Li’s thoughts gradually drifted away, back to the world she hadn’t yet co to when her mother told her about “The Untad.”
Luo Yanqing: “Mm.”
Kang Li: “The story goes like this…” Her voice was soft and gentle, slowly recounting the general plot of the TV series “The Untad.”
After listening, Luo Yanqing exclaid, “That’s a very good story.”
Kang Li: “Indeed, it is a good story.” She had only heard a summary from her mother, but given her mother’s high level of appreciation, what she said was likely accurate.
Maybe absorbed in the mories of the past, the room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop for a while. Then, Luo Yanqing’s crisp and pleasant voice broke the silence, asking, “Should we go over a bit earlier tomorrow?”
Kang Li ca back to her senses: “Mm.”
Song Family.
“Has everyone who should be inford been notified?”
Mrs. Qi was clearly yawning with tiredness but didn’t forget to ask Director Song about the arrangents for formally recognizing Kang Li as their goddaughter the next day.
Director Song: “I always do things reliably, and you know that.”
“I’m just worried that you also notified those who shouldn’t have been invited.” As soon as Mrs. Qi said this, Director Song asked, “Who exactly are you referring to as those who shouldn’t have been invited?”
