Shi i hid her subtle expressions quite well.
Even when Bai Yuejie stared at her, she seed only to be confused by ignorance.
Seeing this, Bai Yuejie’s smile grew even gentler as she softly said, "Otherwise, it wouldn’t be a gift that Shi i herself gave to Grandma, and she would dislike you even more then."
Sure enough, Shi i’s face showed fear and panic, "Don’t dislike Shi i, Shi i is good!"
"Then promise , don’t tell anyone, okay?"
Shi i nodded decisively.
Bai Yuejie smiled tenderly, "Now tell , what did you promise ?"
Stumbling, Shi i quickly repeated, "To imitate Tang Wu, not to tell others."
"Anybody," Bai Yuejie emphasized, "rember, okay?"
Shi i nodded vigorously.
Bai Yuejie, satisfied, patted her head, "Very good, shall Sister Bai take you for so sweets?"
Shi i’s eyes finally sparkled with their usual brilliance, her pitch-black pupils shining brilliantly, "Mm-hmm!"
Watching her lively deanor, Bai Yuejie’s eyes darkened with an indistinct gloom, her tone amused, "What vibrant life."

After the sweets, Bai Yuejie felt that the little fool had beco even more affectionate towards her than before.
The smile on the corners of Bai Yuejie’s lips was irrepressible.
She took Shi i straight to her songwriting studio and, presenting a lute, asked her, "Can you play?"
Shi i, excited, plucked a string, producing a ’twang.’
Hearing the sound, Shi i imdiately said, "I can!"
Bai Yuejie was astonished, "Really?"
Shi i nodded.
Bai Yuejie began to doubt whether this decision was the right one.
Before the car accident, Shi i had been a student at an arts school.
Maybe she really could play?
Wouldn’t that ruin her plan?
With trepidation in her heart, Bai Yuejie handed her the lute while saying, "Tang Wu’s best known for the lute, especially ’Ten Sides Ambush.’"
Wrong.
Her best was the piano.
As for her best lute piece...
Having been forced by Grandma to practice the ten famous pieces every day since she was young, there was nothing she couldn’t play. :)
Shi i pretended not to understand, grabbed the lute with one hand and started to blindly strum the strings.
Discordant sounds filled the ears!
Bai Yuejie was shocked, imdiately grabbed her hand, face twitching, "Is this what you call being able to play?"
Shi i clung to it, pouting, "I can!"
"You can’t, let’s learn sothing simple instead."
Finally, Bai Yuejie understood.
Did she think that being able to make a sound ant she could play?
"I can!"
To prove herself, Shi i began to thrash at the strings again.
Bai Yuejie was nearly knocked unconscious by the horrible noise and snatched away the lute, teeth clenched, "You can’t. The piano is easier, shall we go play the piano?"
Shi i reluctantly let go.
Bai Yuejie breathed a sigh of relief and walked over to the expensive grand piano, lifting the lid.
"Wow!" Shi i’s face lit up with surprise and she rushed over, starting to bang on the keys.
Bai Yuejie couldn’t stand it any longer, held her hands and said, "Enough!"
Shi i looked frightened, pulling back her hands, timidly looking at her.
Bai Yuejie took a deep breath, suppressing the irritation.
With a gentle smile, Bai Yuejie continued, "I’ll have soone co teach you, let’s not play today."
Shi i, acting reluctantly, "Okay, but I really can play them all!"
Just didn’t want to let you know.
Bai Yuejie: Heh.

Later, Shi i managed to drive away three piano teachers.
When Bai Yuejie asked why, the teachers all showed a look of panic: They couldn’t afford to offend, not this big shot!
