In the evening, Zhou Yuwen treated Jiang Xinyi to Tibetan lamb, and Jiang Xinyi felt the charm of these street snacks once again. This ti, they talked a lot, setting aside status and prejudice.
They talked about their favorite music.
Jiang Xinyi ntioned her childhood piano lessons, she said she didn't want to give up, but others played better than her.
Zhou Yuwen said, actually, you shouldn't give up playing the piano.
Them playing better is their thing, but your piano is for yourself.
You play the piano just to please yourself.
Then Jiang Xinyi talked about learning to play guitar and the two clicked imdiately, chatting more and more.
By the ti Zhou Yuwen drove Jiang Xinyi ho, they stayed in the car for a long ti, just talking, sharing thoughts on music, life, and more.
Until ten o'clock at night.
Jiang Xinyi didn't want to leave yet, she hesitantly asked, "So, should I go?"
"Yeah, it's getting late. I should head back too," said Zhou Yuwen.
Jiang Xinyi felt a bit disappointed because she hadn't had enough of their conversation, but what Zhou Yuwen said was true.
So she got out of the car, and before leaving, Jiang Xinyi said, "I'm looking forward to it now! I want to know what lyrics you've put to this song!"
Zhou Yuwen said you'll know tomorrow!
"Alright! Then I'll look forward to tomorrow, and if it's not satisfying, just you wait!"
Zhou Yuwen rolled his eyes, saying, "You cheeky girl, why do your words always feel so uncomfortable?"
Jiang Xinyi, having already stepped out of the car, waved her little fist, "What cheeky girl? I'm your elder sister!"
"Hey! Little sister Xinyi, call brother!"
"You!"
The two bantered for a while before Jiang Xinyi reluctantly returned ho.
Today, Jiang Xinyi was especially happy because after so many years, she realized she had t soone who truly understood her for the first ti. Zhou Yuwen was right; playing the piano should be to please oneself, why compare with others?
Thinking about how in sync they were when playing a piano duet today.
The smile on Jiang Xinyi's lips was hard to hide.
She hurried back to her room.
Opened the rarely played piano lid.
Played "Those Years in a Hurry" the whole day; the tune of "Those Years in a Hurry" beca so clear, as if just lifting her hands could bring out the music from the most played parts.
If we et again, can we not blush♪
Must we still have teary eyes♪
We owe each other♪
Otherwise, what's there to miss♪
Jiang Xinyi didn't know the lyrics to this song, but she could feel the regret in the lody.
The more she played, the more she felt the sweetness of her day with Zhou Yuwen, and as the song unfolded, it seed like everything that happened today reappeared in front of Jiang Xinyi.
"Why are you not sleeping and playing the piano at this ti?"
At that mont, Liu Jing suddenly appeared, wearing pajamas with an extra layer of clothing, startling Jiang Xinyi.
Jiang Xinyi hurriedly closed the piano, sheepishly saying, "Ah, sorry, I won't play anymore!"
Liu Jing looked at her daughter, frowning, and said, "It's been a long ti since I saw you play the piano, why did you suddenly feel like playing today?"
"Ah, Zhou Yuwen is going to sing at the New Year's party, he asked to accompany him, I thought I'd practice a bit, I didn't an to wake you up," Jiang Xinyi awkwardly said.
"Accompanying?" Liu Jing curious, asked, "Is it the song you just played?"
"Uh-huh."
"I've never heard it," Liu Jing muttered.
Jiang Xinyi proudly said, "You definitely haven't! This song was written by Zhou Yuwen!"
"Zhou Yuwen wrote it?" Liu Jing was startled.
"Yup! You wouldn't expect it, right? Zhou Yuwen is incredibly talented. I was also surprised when I heard this song; it's so beautiful! And there's a little story in this song, mom, Zhou Yuwen is even better than you think. He not only can sing, but he also plays piano. He learns things really fast. I taught him piano all day today, and he got it right away..."
As she talked about Zhou Yuwen, Jiang Xinyi had a lot to share, but since she didn't have close girlfriends, she could only share it with her mother.
Initially, Liu Jing was just skeptical about Zhou Yuwen being able to write songs, but as Jiang Xinyi kept on talking endlessly, Liu Jing was taken aback, suddenly realizing sothing was off.
She just kept staring at her daughter.
Jiang Xinyi, still clueless at first, had endless things to say about Zhou Yuwen and couldn't stop smiling.
Until she saw the corners of her mother's mouth also smiling, though that smile was calm, carrying a hint of tease.
Then, speaking, Jiang Xinyi suddenly felt guilty.
"Mom, why are you... looking at like that?"
Jiang Xinyi dared not look at her mother, mumbling.
Seeing her daughter like that, Liu Jing couldn't help but burst into a short laugh, "Go on, weren't you teaching Zhou Yuwen piano? Keep talking."
"There's nothing much to say, really nothing much," realizing sothing was off, Jiang Xinyi started to mutter.
Watching her daughter's deanor, Liu Jing said, "You weren't like this when you were dating that university professor."
"Ah, dating is dating, Zhou Yuwen is my friend, we have a purely platonic relationship! I'm really happy to have Zhou Yuwen as a friend!" Jiang Xinyi still refused to admit.
