Twenty minutes later, the night was deep.
"Young Master Hua, outsiders are not allowed to enter the inner courtyard, please don’t make it difficult for us." At the entrance of the Gu Family’s inner courtyard, two guards blocked Ling Yin’s way.
"My friend is absolutely trustworthy, can’t he co in?" Hua Hua was a bit annoyed.
Of course, he understood the family rules of the Gu Family, but he was rarely in high spirits.
The guard said with difficulty, "Please allow to report to the butler."
"No, no, don’t let my brother know." Hua Hua acted cute, "We’re not going anywhere else, just taking a stroll in the garden, for at most an hour, please. My brother adores the most, if I bring a friend for a walk, he definitely won’t mind, we’re not going anywhere else."
After much coaxing and persuasion, Hua Hua finally got the guards to allow it.
"The scenery of the Gu Family is indeed unique, very reminiscent of the Jiangnan style of China. The layout of this house is ingenious, with pavilions and terraces, fresh and elegant, giving a sense of ti travel." Ling Yin marveled inwardly.
Hua Hua led him to Bihe Garden, the two strolled leisurely along the winding corridor. Hua Hua chuckled, "Yes, every brick and stone, every plant and tree here was brought from China by the ancestors of the Gu Family. My brother has many rules, likes quietness, and rarely allows outsiders to step in. My sister-in-law has been learning music recently, my brother bought a priceless piano, just placed in the yard. Hey, let’s borrow it for a while, you play a piece for , let see if you’re just bluffing."
Who knew, before reaching Bihe Garden, they heard the sound of piano music.
Hua Hua’s enthusiasm was dampened, "Seems like soone is using the piano."
Ling Yin was more interested in the surrounding scenery, "Walking around this yard is nice too."
In Bihe Garden, under the flowers and moonlight, Chenxing sat at the piano, playing a simple piece, "A Fairy Tale of Autumn." Gu Shaocheng sat leisurely on a nearby lounge chair, with a cup of cool tea on the low table beside him.
They ford the center point, with scattered candlelight dotting the grass around them.
A beautiful scene.
The candles weren’t our usual cylindrical kind, but were shaped like beautiful roses. The flowers were incredibly realistic, in the posture of budding, layer upon layer of petals, with rose-shaped candles blooming across the entire lawn.
"Such enjoynt!" Hua Hua saw that scene from afar and felt irritated, "My brother and sister-in-law just love being romantic, how contemptible, humph!"
They were hogging the piano, ruining his mood.
So what now?
Ling Yin had a hint of admiration in his eyes, "Your brother and sister-in-law have a great relationship, right? We better not go over and ruin their mood."
On such a night, with this kind of ambiance, it should be their life’s norm, truly knowing how to enjoy life, a happiness that no one can intrude upon.
Hua Hua muttered, "It’s rare that I’m in the mood tonight, I want soone to play exclusively for too. I only know my brother’s house has a piano."
"I’ll have a chance to perform in the future." Ling Yin, absorbed in the atmosphere, had dots of affection and intoxication in his gaze.
Hua Hua disagreed, "No way! I’m in the mood, I want to listen now!"
"Then let’s go sowhere else, there must be a piano at a concert. It’s not too late, let’s see where there’s a concert, book the whole place, it’s easy to manage." Ling Yin considered, "Co on, let’s not disturb your brother and sister-in-law, leave this romantic mont for them. Or tomorrow I’ll have soone buy a piano for your ho, so you can listen whenever you want, no rush."
