101: Chapter 104 Candidate (1) 101: Chapter 104 Candidate (1) He spoke up, his voice low and somewhat subdued due to illness and emotional fluctuations, echoing softly in the resonant bathroom, “Do you, play the piano?”
He had never seen Jian Anning play the piano before; he only saw how she maintained it.
Since he hadn’t seen her play, he rashly assumed—she definitely couldn’t play the piano.
But now that he thought about it, how could someone who knew how to tune a piano not know how to play it?
Although, even if she could play, the odds of her being the girl he had met were probably one in three billion.
He also knew that the probability of finding that girl again in this lifetime was almost zero.
Moreover, even if he did find her, times change, and landscapes transform—after ten years, who could say if she would still have that same spirit and clarity from before?
But if Jian Anning could play the piano, at the very least…
she would be that much closer to the girl in his heart.
Who would have thought that Jian Anning would be stunned by his question!
For a long while, she gently pressed her lips together after they had parted in surprise, as if struggling to cope.
She lowered her gaze slightly and looked at the flowing water in the bathtub not far away, “Why do you ask?”
“No reason, just tell me if you can or can’t!” Yu Zexiao was becoming a bit impatient, even tightening his grip on Jian Anning’s chin, forcing her to raise her head and meet his gaze.
If she could play the piano…
he didn’t know what he would do, nor did he understand his own feelings.
But what he did know was that he wanted her to nod, wanted her to say “yes”!
“I…,” Jian Anning’s eyes glistened over the rippling light on the water in the bathtub, leaving a fleeting and pained afterimage in her pupils.
In the moment he didn’t see, her expression even wavered slightly, but soon returned to calm.
She shook her head, “I don’t.”
At her words, Yu Zexiao felt a hollow emptiness inside!
Disappointment, distress, along with a bit of anger, combined with the fermentation of his illness, caused him to erupt!
He suddenly released his hold, and with a bit of force, he pushed her away!
Jian Anning, suddenly pushed away, became unsteady and staggered back, her lower back striking harshly against the edge of the washbasin, wincing with pain and tears coming out!
Her eyes, misted with tears, looked bewilderedly at Yu Zexiao, who had just been profound and gentle, and in an instant turned into a figure enveloped in hostility.
She couldn’t understand at all what she had done to enrage him!
Damn it, from now on, if anyone else says he’s handsome, elegant, and imposing, to the point of wanting to kneel at his suit trousers, she would be furious with them!
Yu Zexiao’s unpredictable mood swings, one second so tender and entranced, the next violently pushing you away, looking at you as if you were garbage, some persistent bacteria that could only be killed with three bottles of disinfectant—not only should you not exist in this world, but you don’t even deserve to appear in front of him!
Time and time again, she really had had enough!
However, before she could get angry, Yu Zexiao’s face darkened, “Why haven’t you left?
Do you really want to-,” with a bath scene with me?
