Stranger and Chen in the Palace

After a while, Xue Zimo opened his eyes, and gently raised two slender and white hands.

Ling Yichen stared at this pair of warm and elegant hands with infatuation. The snow-white skin still had a fine luster, and the rosy and transparent nails were like fine jade. The ethereal and distant piano sound slowly flowed under these beautiful hands.

Slowly, Ling Yichen felt as if he was in a quiet and misty peak, sitting and watching the rising and falling, chatting about the floating clouds and flowing water.He felt more relaxed than ever.At this moment, he felt a bit of burnout in his pursuit of the ultimate right. He suddenly wanted to stop at this moment forever, and stay away from the troubles of the world with the one he loves. He only wanted to hold his hand and grow old...

After a stroke, everyone is intoxicated.Yayi Academy with hundreds of people is so quiet that you can even hear a needle drop on the ground, Xue Zimo praised softly: "Good piano."

Xiao Zheng was the first to come back to his senses. He was so excited that he praised again and again: "Good song, good song! Your son's piano skills are so high that no one in the world can match him. He is worthy of being number one in the world!"

Everyone also came back to their senses, their faces were full of excitement, and they looked at Xue Zimo eagerly, as if they wanted to swallow him in one mouthful.

For the first time, Ling Yichen really realized Xue Zimo, the number one talent in the world.

In the past, as far as he was concerned, the number one talented person in the world always stayed on a title. Although he had seen Xue Zimo's extraordinary talent in many places, it was far less profound and shocking than this time.He suddenly felt that he had to stand at a high enough height to stand shoulder to shoulder with him.

At the same time, Ling Yichen was both grateful and uneasy, how lucky he was to be favored by him, and there were so many people who liked him.Ling Yihao, Ling Muxue, Xiao Zheng, even Xia Yan and Lian Huang, don't think that he can't see that Lian Huang is special to Xue Zimo, there are these people in front of him, as well as people he doesn't know and people who may appear in the future.

Ling Yichen suddenly felt scared, afraid that one day Xue Zimo would no longer like him, afraid that he would reject him thousands of miles away like before.

Ling Yichen laughed at himself, did he also start to worry about gains and losses?

Xiao Zheng's voice interrupted Ling Yichen's thoughts, and he only heard him say to Xue Zimo: "Young Master's piano skills are superb, and he is also the bosom friend of this Feiquan Qin. Xiao Zheng is not talented. I want to give this piano to you, and I hope you will accept it for your face." Down."

Ling Yichen looked at Xue Zimo, he suddenly didn't want Xue Zimo to accept the piano.Sure enough, Xue Zimo said: "Thank you Mr. Xiao, this Qin is extremely precious, Zimo cannot accept it."

Xiao Zheng was a little anxious: "Young Master, please don't refuse. Although this Qin is precious, it is not a blessing for it to have such a master as Young Master?"

Xue Zimo shook his head, and said softly, "I'm sorry, I can't accept it." Seeing Xue Zimo's repeated rejections, Ling Yichen felt happy for no reason.

Xiao Zheng was extremely disappointed: "Could it be that the young master looks down on me, so he refuses to accept this piano?"

Xue Zimo didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Of course not, Mr. Xiao, I don't have many friends in Dianxi County, how can I look down on you?"

"You, consider me a friend?" Xiao Zheng said flattered.

Xue Zimo nodded.

After receiving Xue Zimo's affirmative answer, Xiaozheng's mood flew from the bottom of the valley to the clouds: "Young master, since you recognize me as a friend, you must accept this piano. You can't refuse a gift from a friend, right?"

Xue Zimo was a little embarrassed, Ling Yichen gave Xiao Zheng a displeased look, and said coldly: "Since he regards you as a friend, you shouldn't force him."

Xiaozheng's face turned red when he heard this, and he couldn't get off the stage for a while.

Xue Zimo rounded up the situation and said: "How about this, Mr. Xiao, I will accept the Qin, but please accept the money as well, and treat it as if I bought it from you?"

Xiao Zheng just wanted to refuse, but he heard Xue Zimo say: "If Mr. Xiao refuses to accept the money, then I definitely can't take the Qin. What's more, I still want to ask Mr. Xiao for help. If you insist on refusing, I won't be able to open my mouth." .”

Ling Yichen was depressed, what could he not do that Xiao Zheng should not do?

When Xiaozheng heard that Xue Zimo wanted to ask him for help, he hurriedly agreed.Xue Zimo smiled, and whispered to Ling Yichen: "Have you brought any money?"

Ling Yichen was slightly taken aback, is Xue Zimo going to ask him to buy the piano and give it to him?This thought swept away Ling Yichen's previous depression, and he smiled happily: "How much do you want?"

Xue Zimo thought for a while: "5 taels of silver."

"Okay, I'll send someone to fetch it right away." After Ling Yichen finished speaking, he ordered a guard beside him to go out.

In Yayi Academy, everyone was still immersed in the incomparably graceful piano sound just now and couldn't extricate themselves.The qin is certainly a good qin, but if you want to play the state just now, you absolutely need to be quite good at the qin.Although general diligence can make up for one's weakness, if one's talent reaches a peak, it will definitely not be able to make up for it in a few years or decades.

Xue Zimo is not very old, but his piano skills have reached a level beyond their reach.This is just the art of piano. I heard that Xue Zimo is good at playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. It would take hundreds of years for such an astonishingly talented character to be born. Everyone was deeply amazed and admired.

After a while, the guard came back and handed a thick stack of bank notes to Xiao Zheng.

Xiao Zheng was shocked when he saw it, and hurriedly said: "Master, this, this is too much, let alone a guqin, even a few more are not worth much!"

Xue Zimo smiled: "I still have something to entrust to Mr. Xiao, please don't rush to refuse."

Xiao Zheng suddenly remembered this, and quickly asked: "Sir, just open your mouth, Xiao Zheng will definitely do it for you even if his body is smashed to pieces."

Xue Zimo laughed: "Mr. Xiao is serious. It's like this. We found more than 100 orphans a few days ago. Their parents died in this disaster. I want to entrust Mr. Xiao to take care of them until they reach adulthood. I believe Mr. Xiao will also take care of them." You know, we'll have to leave when the levee is fixed."

When Xiaozheng heard this, Xue Zimo continued, "I wanted to take them back to the imperial capital, but later I felt it was wrong. After all, this is their hometown. Even if their relatives are gone, they still miss them. Think about it. Thinking about it, I can't find a more suitable candidate than Mr. Xiao. You care about the disaster victims, and you are willing to give up your family wealth for them. I think you will treat these children kindly."

Xiaozheng nodded, and vowed: "Young master, please rest assured, I will definitely treat them like my own relatives, and I will never let them suffer the slightest grievance!"

Xue Zimo patted him on the shoulder in relief, and said sincerely, "Thank you!"

Xiao Zheng's face turned red suddenly, Ling Yichen looked at Xiao Zheng dangerously.

From Yayi Academy to the post station, Xue Zimo saw Ling Yichen's face remained sullen and silent, so he joked, "Are you worried that I won't be able to pay back the 5 taels of silver?"

Ling Yichen was speechless for a while, hugged him like revenge, and said fiercely: "You clearly know that I'm not here for this?"

Xue Zimo broke free from him and said with a smile: "Do you know that I behave like a child."

"You say I'm childish?" Ling Yichen was dissatisfied.

"Isn't it?" Xue Zimo smiled.

Ling Yichen buried his head in his cold and smooth black hair, smelled the fragrance of his hair, and said quietly: "I just don't like you getting close to him, no, it's anyone but me."

Xue Zimo laughed: "What about my father?"

Ling Yichen thought about it seriously: "Okay, he can, but he can't be closer than me."

Xue Zimo shook his head, removed him from his body, and said seriously: "I will return the 5 taels of silver to you when I return to Beijing."

"Those orphans are my business, of course I should pay the money." Ling Yichen disagreed.

Xue Zimo was unmoved: "There is still money to buy Guqin in it."

"You have to tell me so clearly?" Ling Yichen was a little impatient.

Xue Zimo said solemnly: "Yes, you see, I owe you money and you don't allow me to get close to others. If I don't pay you back, I guess I will almost lose my freedom."

Ling Yichen knew that he was joking with himself, but Xue Zimo insisted on returning the money to him. Does it mean that in Xue Zimo's heart, the relationship between the two has always been clearly defined, and he still hasn't been able to walk into his heart? ?

Day by day, the new year is getting closer, every household is busy celebrating the new year, and Dianxi County is slowly becoming lively, sweeping away the previous decadent scene.Red lanterns can be seen everywhere, the sound of firecrackers can be heard endlessly, and the streets are full of compradors selling New Year's goods, bustling with each other, and the mood of the two of them is also relaxed.

Until the eve of the New Year's Eve, the number of people on the street gradually decreased, and they all stayed at home to celebrate the New Year.

Ling Yichen specially asked someone to prepare a table of meals according to Xue Zimo's taste, and the two slowly ate the New Year's Eve dinner together in the station.Suddenly, all kinds of fireworks bloomed in the sky of Dianxi County, which was extremely gorgeous. Listen carefully and there are many cheers from children.

Ling Yichen was in a good mood, and smiled at Xue Zimo: "After dinner, shall we go out for a walk?"

Xue Zimo was also in a good mood, and nodded in agreement.

The two walked slowly on the street, with the sound of firecrackers in their ears, fireworks blooming above their heads, and there were many children playing around excitedly on both sides of the street.Ling Yichen stretched out his hand to gently hold Xue Zimo's hand, and walked side by side with him, Xue Zimo did not break free.The two held hands like this, and walked to the Fen River without knowing it.

Compared with the noisy streets, this place is much quieter. The only thing that is the same is the beautiful fireworks in the sky that almost illuminate the night sky.The river was still frozen, the two found a big rock and sat down, Ling Yichen let go of Xue Zimo's hand, helped him straighten the sable fur, and wrapped him in his arms.

Neither of the two spoke, they just quietly looked at the distant sky, let the fireworks be gorgeous, the years are quiet...
