Chapter 214: Chapter 214: Autistic Piano Prodigy VS Part-Time Tutor (Part 11) Chapter 214: Chapter 214: Autistic Piano Prodigy VS Part-Time Tutor (Part 11) Yang Huiying watched Tang Zhongyi leave without a backward glance.
She felt aggrieved, considering herself quite a beauty who was pursued regularly. When had she ever had to lower herself to apologize?
Yet, he hadn’t appreciated her gesture and had also been so cold in his response.
But… every time she remembered Tang Zhongyi’s face, Yang Huiying couldn’t bring herself to blame him.
All she could do was redirect all her anger toward Ning Zhao—it was all this woman’s fault. If not for her, her first impression on Tang Zhongyi wouldn’t have been so negative.
Gu Shengyin had just finished playing the last piece when she was abruptly notified by the system: “Target, Yang Huiying, hostility level toward the host has risen to 30 percent.”
Gu Shengyin’s fingers had just left the last piano key, and the lingering music stopped.
“Why?” She was puzzled. Even though they had had conflicts before, Yang Huiying’s hostility had never exceeded ten percent, so how could it suddenly rise by twenty percent?
The system flashed for a moment before responding, “System detected that Yang Huiying’s primary emotions are jealousy and anger displacement.”
Jealousy Gu Shengyin could understand, but anger displacement?
She suddenly thought of something, “Is Yang Huiying perhaps developing feelings for Tang Zhongyi?”
System: “When Yang Huiying met Tang Zhongyi, there were signs of an irregular heartbeat, a slight increase in body temperature, and an increase in brainwave activity, which, upon examination, match the criteria for having a crush.”
Gu Shengyin understood the situation with the anger displacement. Thinking it over, this blame wasn’t exactly unjust for her to bear.
“Zhaozhao?” Tang Zhongyi approached her.
Breaking her usual demeanor, Gu Shengyin gave him a smile.
Tang Zhongyi was both surprised and delighted. Could Zhaozhao’s behavior mean she was becoming closer to him?
His heart rejoiced, and with a slight test, he tried to hold Gu Shengyin’s hand. Much to his delight, he noticed that she slightly flinched but did not pull away.
Although Gu Shengyin’s smile was fleeting, it was enough to make Tang Zhongyi happy. He walked back with Gu Shengyin hand in hand.
That evening, after drying Gu Shengyin’s hair as usual, Tang Zhongyi gently gave her a goodnight kiss after she lay down in bed and then slowly withdrew.
On the other hand, Yang Huiying was not giving up. She had several more “chance” encounters with Tang Zhongyi, trying to capture his attention.
However, Tang Zhongyi felt nothing but impatience toward this woman.
Unluckily for Yang Huiying, she saw several times how Tang Zhongyi, appearing indifferent toward her, carefully held Ning Zhao’s hand. The two walked slowly through the garden, hands interlocked.
Sometimes, Ning Zhao sat in the transparent piano room playing the piano, while Tang Zhongyi quietly watched her, his eyes brimming with tenderness that nearly overflowed.
Thus, Gu Shengyin did nothing yet watched as Yang Huiying’s hostility toward her increasingly soared.
Yang Huiying came out from Tang Qian’s room.
She should have headed toward the main entrance, but as if possessed, she turned and walked toward a familiar place.
As expected, she heard a familiar piano sound. Just as she reached the door of the piano room, the piano music abruptly stopped, and the pianist stood up.
She stood aside and watched Ning Zhao step out.
It wasn’t her first time seeing Ning Zhao, but each time, she was astounded by the girl’s beauty.
The gently warm evening sun quietly fell on Ning Zhao’s white skirt hem, coating her with a warm halo. Observing Ning Zhao , Yang Huiying thought of a verse:
She walks in sunlight, carrying the fragrance of wind and vegetation—whose eyes has she dazzled?
Even she couldn’t help but be captivated by such a specter, let alone Tang Zhongyi, a man?
