It was still beside the flower garden where Wu Zechen saw her playing the piano for the first time. The piano he gave her was placed in front of her, and the green figure under the moon looked like a dream.
Watching her adjust her breathing, she gradually calmed down, as if a clear pond was calm and waveless. Her usually pretty face softened, and her slightly drooped eyebrows closed her star-like eyes, making it difficult for people to see the grace in them. I can't help but want to fall into this tranquility, constantly slow down my mind, and drift away with the night wind...
The deep and mellow sound of the piano flows slowly, like a gentle river, flowing gently through the heart, carrying the mind with it and drifting into the distance...
That night, Xia Luotong played for a long time, and Wu Zechen also stood in the shadow of the bamboo forest for a long time, but his eyes never left her body for a moment.
It seemed that just by looking at her, he could temporarily put aside all his worries and hatred, and gain a moment of peace that was extremely luxurious for him.
For a moment, he suddenly wished he could keep looking at her like this, staying by her side, listening to her playing the piano...
He even felt that he seemed to have been wrong before. She was different from those people. He should not have viewed her with such preconceived prejudices...
It wasn't until the night got darker and the music suddenly stopped that Wu Zechen came back from his thoughts.
Looking at Xia Luotong with some confusion, he saw that she suddenly stood up, breathed into her hands continuously, and occasionally crossed her arms and rubbed them up and down.
"Oh, Master, are you cold? It's my fault that I didn't notice it earlier. You are weak, but you must not catch a cold. Go inside quickly. I will make you a bowl of ginger soup." Zhuxuan saw Xia Luotong. With this look on his face, he hurriedly called Xia Luotong into the house with a look of remorse.
"I was so absorbed in playing that I just felt cold now." Xia Luotong also had a look of helplessness on her face. She often forgets the surrounding situation when she is fascinated by something.
She was aware of her physical condition and was not willful at the moment. She hugged the newly acquired piano and turned around and entered the house.
Wu Zechen watched the slender figure disappear through the door, his eyes flashing slightly as he didn't know what he was thinking, and after a moment he left Tingyuxuan quietly.
Early the next morning, Xia Luotong left Prince An's Mansion after getting ready, and went directly to Mr. Le's residence, Fuguangju.
After giving her name, the servant immediately respectfully welcomed Xia Luotong into the door and led her towards the interior of Fuguang Residence.
Along the way, the scenery of pavilions, terraces and waterside pavilions was very elegant. It was evident that the owner had put great care into the decoration, and she couldn't take her eyes away for a while.
"Miss Atong!"
A clear voice came, Xia Luotong raised her eyes and saw a handsome figure walking towards her quickly.
"Master Le." She couldn't help but call with a smile after seeing who was coming.
The person who came was none other than Yue Qinglu. The smile on his face was a little deeper than before. He was obviously very happy to see her.
"I was thinking that Miss Atong might be arriving soon, but I didn't expect that I met you just as I was about to come out to take a look."
With Yue Qing Lu here, the servants voluntarily stepped back, and he led Xia Luotong to continue walking inside.
"That's a coincidence. How is Mr. Le doing lately? But he's feeling better?" Xia Luotong asked with a smile.
Yue Qinglu was a person as gentle as the breeze, with an easy-going personality and easy to get along with, which left a good impression on her.
"Father is no longer seriously ill. He has recovered very quickly recently. He will be fine after a few more days of good care. This is all thanks to Miss Atong." Yue Qinglu thanked him sincerely, his eyes full of gratitude. He knew If he hadn't been lucky enough to meet Xia Luotong that time and had her come to the rescue, his father, Mr. Le, would never have survived.
If he didn't know how ferocious the jade-blood snake venom was at that time, he had a deeper understanding when he went to learn about it. It was precisely because of this that he was even more grateful to Xia Luotong.
"Master Le, you don't have to be so polite. Atong also feels very lucky to have Mr. Le to teach him how to play the piano. This is a good thing that no one in the capital can ask for!" Xia Luotong said playfully, "Speaking of which, I I didn’t know Mr. Le’s name at first, but I only found out later when someone told me about it. At that time, I felt like I was hit by a pie in the sky.”
Yue Qinglu was amused by what she said. Looking at her cute appearance, he felt a little closer to her: "This is nothing compared to your life-saving grace. If there is anything our Le family can do to help in the future, You can tell us, but we won’t refuse!”
His words seemed to have a profound meaning, but Xia Luotong didn't notice it at the moment.
"Then A Tong should thank Mr. Le first!" Xia Luotong looked ahead and asked curiously, "Are we going to see Mr. Le now?"
"Yes, we'll be here soon, but father has a temporary guest coming to visit right now. I'm afraid I have to ask you to wait for a while." Yue Qinglu said a little apologetically.
"It doesn't matter, the scenery in your Fuguangju is so beautiful, I can just enjoy it."
Not long after, the two came to a corridor next to an artificial lake. Several servants were guarding the door.
Yue Qinglu stepped forward and asked, "The guests father received just now are still there."
"Go back to the young master, he is still in the house, but the master has given instructions that if Miss A Tong comes, I will ask you to invite her in with you." One of the servants stepped forward and replied respectfully.
"This... I'm afraid it's inappropriate." Yue Qinglu frowned slightly and said hesitantly.
For a moment, he didn't quite understand what his father meant. In fact, they already knew Xia Luotong's identity, and naturally knew that she was not suitable for meeting outsiders, but why did she have such an idea now?
"The master said they are all acquaintances. Miss Atong is also familiar with the young master, so there will be no obstruction." The servant replied truthfully.
"An acquaintance?" Yue Qinglu was stunned after hearing this, and looked at Xia Luotong beside him with some surprise.
Xia Luotong was also stunned, with a look of surprise on her face. Could she have any acquaintances with Mr. Le?
She had just arrived here not long ago. Not to mention the capital, she didn't know many people in Anyuan Town where the original owner had lived for seventeen years, so she couldn't figure out who it might be.
But since the other party said so, she naturally wanted to meet him, and she was also curious about who that person could be.
"In that case, let's go take a look."
Seeing what Xia Luotong said, Yue Qinglu no longer hesitated and led her through the door and into the house.
"It's you? Why are you here?"
At this time, apart from Mr. Le, who was sitting at the top, there was only one other person sitting next to him in the room. After seeing that person's appearance clearly, Xia Luotong couldn't help but uttered a sound of surprise.
"What a coincidence, Atong."
