After the wrong flirtation, I became the villain's favorite

The Fu ship had a deep draft and sailed very steadily, but even so, the candle flame still swayed slightly.

"Have you cried?" Xie Yunji asked, leaning down to look at Song Nihuan's slightly red eyes, and said gently as usual, "What's wrong?"

"Is it because I didn't let you get off the boat just now?"

"That small port is crowded with people, and we can't stay there for long." He pursed his lips and smiled, took out a glass bracelet from his sleeve and placed it in her palm, "Do you like it?"

The bracelet was a transparent blue-gray color, and it glowed with a crystal luster under the candlelight, as if the silver waves of the sea were put into the beads.

Song Nihuan suddenly remembered that when she attended a family banquet hosted by other nobles at the Xie Mansion, she had never seen such rare items produced in foreign countries and even made a fool of herself.

How could he know...

Xie Yunji saw Song Nihuan's momentary shock, but he pretended not to notice and said in a gentle voice, "The goods brought by the merchant from the port just now were to be taken back to the Central Plains for sale. Did Nihuan want one when she first entered Xie's house?"

He knew that she had lost face in front of all the noble ladies at that time because she had never seen the glass beads. However, he didn't care about her feelings at that time and even felt disgusted by the thought that emotions were not something a woman in her situation should have.

She was able to escape from her lowly status and come to Xie's house. She didn't need such unnecessary emotions. Instead, she should learn how to be a human being, how to deal with things, and how to act cleverly to please him.

Who would have known that later on, her confused and panicked look, and the red corners of her eyes when she lowered her head and bit her lips, would quietly take root in his heart, taking root and sprouting during many nights of repentance, torturing him and making him unable to sleep.

The timid look she gave him during those years and her soft body when he held her in his arms became the most difficult but also the most cherished memories in his memory over the years.

He wanted to make up for a lot of things to her.

Xie Yunji put the bracelet on her slender white wrist. Song Nihuan did not dodge but accepted it calmly.

"Rest early." he said.

Then he turned and left, going to the cabin on the other side.

At night, Xie Xuan brought over the boiled medicine.

Two of the herbs in the prescription given by Doctor Xun Fang were extremely hard to find and could not be used to make a whole set of medicine, so they had to use the new prescription given by Doctor Mo.

The new prescription seemed to have no effect, but the young master continued to drink it on time.

Xie Xuan stood beside Xie Yunji, watching him drink the medicine in one gulp. In a trance, he actually heard a sigh.

The sigh was very light, like a night-blooming cereus that suddenly blooms in the night, chilling to the bone, as if in a dream.

Xie Yunji suddenly asked, "Where is my piano?"

"Which one is it? Young Master's jade general?" Xie Xuan asked.

Xie Yunji has two zithers. One is called "Jiang Yu", which is a century-old zither passed down by the elders of the Xie Mansion in Chen County, and the other is "Chun Tai", which was left by the late Princess Qinghe.

The young man played "Jiang Yu" and cherished "Chun Tai".

Xie Xuan had never heard Xie Yunji play the piano, but he heard from the old people in the mansion that the young man's piano skills were amazing.

"Bring the Chuntai here." Xie Yunji said.

On the other side, Song Nihuan hesitated, but no matter how much she hesitated, there was only one way to choose.

She didn't know how much Xie Yunji could drink, but she knew that he seldom drank during the New Year holidays at the Xie Mansion. However, on summer nights, he would order the servants to place a large low couch in the Liufeng Courtyard so that he could drink with her.

He didn't seem drunk.

As I was thinking about it, the sound of a piano came to my ears.

The rhythm is very ancient, quiet and secluded. At the end, the sound of the piano is like crying, and the suppressed sadness makes people sad.

The sound of a piano can reveal the emotions of the person playing it.

The sound of the piano entered her ears, and sorrow crept up to her brows. The silvery moonlight shone on her face through the porthole, illuminating the tears that were running down her face.

When Xie Yunji pressed the strings of the zither with his slender fingers, suddenly stopping the lingering sound, Song Nihuan pushed open his door.

The lingering sound still lingers in the air.

She looked at him. He was sitting in front of the piano desk. There was no expression on his cold and handsome face, but a smile appeared between his eyebrows when he saw her coming.

"You can play the piano?" Song Nihuan asked, "Why haven't I heard of it before?"

"I learned the art of playing the qin from my mother," Xie Yunji said. "After my mother passed away, I played it less often."

He looked at her moved expression and suddenly wanted to know what kind of emotions would flow from her fingertips if she were to learn the piano.

"I'll go get another piano," he said, standing up.

Seeing that Song Nihuan did not refuse, Xie Yunji walked out of the cabin, and Xie Xuan was waiting outside.

"Sir, do you want the jade? I'll go get it." Xie Xuan said.

Xie Yunji asked: "Did she hear it?"

Xie Xuan blurted out: "Of course, the lady is next to you, she must have heard it."

The waves surged, and the light shone brightly in the moonlight. The cold face of the young man in white was faintly flushed.

"When Madam came, she raised her sleeves to wipe her tears. Madam must have listened for a long time." Xie Xuan added.

"She cried?" Xie Yunji paused, raised his eyes and stared at Xie Xuan and asked, "Did you see it clearly?"

"Well... Madam was wiping her tears when she came out of the cabin. When she walked to the door of the master, the traces of tears on her face had not been dried by the sea breeze." Xie Xuan said confidently, scratching his head as if thinking hard, "Madam rarely smiles, I dare not look at her, but just now, although she cried, it seemed... softer than smiling, making people dare to get close to her."

Xie Xuan came to serve Xie Yunji only after Song Nihuan left the Xie Mansion. In his opinion, this lady was really difficult to approach. Although she was beautiful, with fair skin and rosy cheeks, which made men unable to take their eyes off her, she exuded a cold aura.

As for the loving relationship she and the young master had before, Xie Xuan could never have imagined it before tonight.

It was obvious that when she saw the young master, her expression became even colder.

But just now, her tears, the moved expression in her eyes... Xie Xuan believed that this beautiful lady who never smiled did have a deep past relationship with the young master.

Xie Xuan's description was very abstract, but Xie Yunji still understood what he meant.

She cried when she heard his piano playing.

She relented.

Xie Yunji entered the cabin holding the zither and met her gaze.

She looked at him gently and timidly, and asked softly, "Can I learn it?"

At this moment, his heart was shaken, and he had the illusion that he had returned to many years ago.
