Chapter 665: Chapter 664: Putting it All Behind_1 Chapter 665: Chapter 664: Putting it All Behind_1 “Okay, you should rest for a bit first.” Yeqian noticed that Qiao Xiaren’s complexion didn’t look too good. He was a bit worried, particularly when he saw the patch of blood on her clothes. It was a shocking sight.
Yeqian gasped, “Sis…”
“This isn’t my blood.”
“JOJO.” Qiao Xiaren squatted down and fondled the fluffy ears and head of the Golden Retriever. JOJO, sticking out his big pink tongue, suddenly stood upright. His paws seemingly adopting an applauding gesture, he made several rounds in the yard.
Throwing a ball, JOJO performed various poses with agility, exhibiting an unmatchable performance on the spot. His irresistibly adorable and foolishly pleasing behavior made everyone present double over in laughter.
“JOJO is such a good boy.”
“You should go and take a bath first; I’ll get you some clothes.” Si Limo gave her hand a squeeze and motioned Yeqian with his eyes to go and run her bath water.
Yeqian went upstairs.
After a hot bath, Qiao Xiaren finally felt refreshed.
Aunt Ping had already prepared dinner. The foggy night was blanketing the Lishui Villa. Everyone moved to the dining room where Qiao Xiaren briefly mentioned the day’s events without going into too much detail.
“Sis, you suspect this Lan Tiansheng. But if he wanted to kill you, why would he save you?” Yeqian asked, “It doesn’t make sense. Your suspicion seems totally baseless.”
“I don’t know, but I have a bad premonition.” Qiao Xiaren touched her forehead, “Maybe it’s just my oversuspicious mind acting up, who knows.”
Si Limo side-eyed her, “I have already sent someone to investigate. I’ll handle this matter; we’ll have the results soon.”
Qiao Xiaren didn’t want to be overly concerned with all these messy affairs; she had her own objectives.
“Yeah, leave it to Si Limo. Sis, you should take a good rest.” Yeqian bobbed his head approvingly. “By the way sis, didn’t you mention wanting to learn how to play the piano from me? Let’s forget the other stuff. Teacher Xiao Ye will be online tonight and he guarantees your success!”
Setting all the troublesome matters aside, Qiao Xiaren started her meal wholeheartedly.
After finishing her meal, Qiao Xiaren opened up the piano which had been gathering dust in the corner for quite a long time. She had bought the piano when they first moved into Lishui Villa but had never got the chance to use it.
She had learned the piano in her previous life but, seeming like it was a thing of the distant past, she had almost completely forgotten it.
“Sis, why did you suddenly want to learn the piano?”
Yeqian seated himself before the piano. His exquisite jade-like fingers danced gracefully over the keys, creating a beautiful melody that filled the entire living room.
The side profile of the young man was as picturesque as a painting. As Qiao Xiaren watched him from the side, she felt as though she was within a gigantic oil painting. Her heart, all of a sudden, grew calm.
Qiao Xiaren walked over, sat beside him, and pressed her fingertip onto the black and white keys.
The pitch-black sky hangs low
The bright stars follow close
Little bug, little bug
Yeqian’s singing voice was distinctly different from his usual persona, almost like he had transformed into a different person. The voice was gentle and clear, carrying faint traces of memories and sorrow. Qiao Xiaren turned to look at him, joining him in his soft singing.
“I want to sing. I want to sing my songs for everyone to hear.” A slight curve played on Qiao Xiaren’s lips, “Xiaoqian, I want to stand before everyone, to sing the songs that are in my heart.”
She wanted to step onto the dazzling stage once again to shine brilliantly. She could never forget the excited fans yelling beneath the stage nor the magnificent, dreamy setting.
“Sis, go for it. I believe in you!”
When Si Limo entered, he saw a picture of pure aesthetics, an unusually soothing sight. It was a rare opportunity for him to enjoy such a calm moment.
