Gu Zhiqi watched the video intently, forgetting to move.
It wasn’t until the video ended that Gu Zhiqi came back to her senses.
The video paused, its sound abruptly ceasing, leaving only the striking red figure still on the screen.
You wouldn’t know it, but surprisingly talented.
Undoubtedly, within the entire video, Su Yunling’s figure was the most eye-catching.
Secondly, it was the zither under Su Yunling’s hand.
By sheer coincidence, that zither seemed to be the same one Su Yunling had lent to Gu Zhiqi before.
Gu Zhiqi stared at the video for a while, then replayed it, propping her chin with one hand as she continued to stare at the phone screen.
The door to the room was knocked on.
Gu Zhiqi got up with her phone in hand, opened the door, and with a questioning look in her eyes, asked the person standing outside, "What’s up?"
Su Yunling gently raised her eyebrows and said, "It’s lunchtime."
She glanced at the time on her phone.
Sure enough, it was past twelve.
She just watched the MV about...ten times or so, how did it become noon already?
As Gu Zhiqi unlocked her phone, even though she quickly switched the screen, Su Yunling still saw it.
It seemed to be that video of him playing the zither.
The corners of his mouth curved slightly, and his eyes shimmered with mirth, "Did you enjoy the video?"
"The zither was played very well." Gu Zhiqi watched it over and over but couldn’t find a single fault in Su Yunling’s performance.
Hearing this, Su Yunling lightly arched his eyebrows but said nothing more.
"Oh, your zither." It wasn’t until she mentioned the zither that Gu Zhiqi remembered, she still hadn’t returned the one Su Yunling had lent her.
As she spoke, Gu Zhiqi took the zither out from her storage bracelet and handed it back to Su Yunling, "I forgot to return it to you before."
Su Yunling glanced at the zither that Gu Zhiqi was handing over but did not take it, "Yun Yi said she has given the zither to you."
"Isn’t this zither yours?" Gu Zhiqi slightly lifted her eyes to look at Su Yunling.
Yun Yi did say that she gave the zither to her, but Gu Zhiqi didn’t take it to heart.
Regardless of whether Yun Yi could make decisions on behalf of Su Yunling, she had borrowed the zither from him, so it should rightfully be returned.
Listening to Gu Zhiqi’s question, Su Yunling did not respond immediately.
Instead, he stared at Gu Zhiqi for a long while, his eyes, deep like a pool, unfathomable.
Just as Gu Zhiqi was thinking about whether to just push the zither into his arms, Su Yunling finally spoke, "It’s yours now."
His tone was soft and gentle, and Gu Zhiqi couldn’t tell if it was her misperception, but she always felt there was a hint of relief in Su Yunling’s voice.
Su Yunling’s eyebrows and eyes curved slightly as he gazed directly at Gu Zhiqi, softly saying, "Brother’s zither, I give it to you."
Gu Zhiqi always felt that his words had another meaning, but she couldn’t quite grasp it.
Holding the zither for so long was tiring.
Since Su Yunling said he was giving it to her, he certainly wouldn’t take it back, so Gu Zhiqi didn’t insist on returning it and put the zither back into her bracelet, murmuring to Su Yunling, "Thank you for the zither, brother."
The corners of Su Yunling’s mouth curved slightly, and without dwelling on the topic, he said, "Let’s go, it’s time to eat, and after lunch, the auction will be about to begin."
The auction was scheduled to start at two in the afternoon; with lunchtime accounted for, the timing would be just about right.
Upon hearing this, Gu Zhiqi remembered that Su Yunling had mentioned taking her to see the auction yesterday.
