Chapter 25
Luo Lingsheng finally agreed to the dinner request.
The restaurant selected by Shi Yunnan is located in the city center. The owner is a French couple, and the food they cook is authentic French food.
The two came early and chose the window seat.
Compared with the hall where people come and go, it is relatively more concealed, and it is very close to the performance stage. It is an excellent dining location.
Shi Yunnan shook the glass and took the initiative to raise his glass, “Luo Lingsheng, may I give you a toast? Quan as a thank you for this time.”
“Thank you?” Luo Lingsheng recalled the word.
“Ok.”
Shi Yunnan is a person who has revenge, but he is also a person who has gratitude and gratitude.
Although in the mouths of outsiders, Luo Lingsheng is an inhuman controller, but Shi Yunnan doesn’t think so, “Whether you help me leave Shi’s house, or maintain it at Zhao’s banquet, I…”
“You don’t need to thank me, even without me, you can still handle those things very well.” Luo Lingsheng easily stopped him.
Perhaps in this relatively comfortable environment, his usual coldness has eased a lot.
Shi Yunnan showed a clear smile, raised his glass and touched it.
After a simple appetizer, two delicate fish consommés were served.
“I used to study abroad, and there was a French restaurant near the school that made a good fish soup.”
Shi Yunnan lightly scooped the rich fresh soup with a spoon, and tasted it after the heat dissipated.
He nodded satisfactorily, “This restaurant is doing well today, can you try it?”
Luo Lingsheng didn’t really like the smell of fish.
He looked at Shi Yunnan’s look of approval, and after hesitating for half a second, he took a shallow sip, “It’s quite fresh.”
Shi Yunnan took another sip of the soup and mentioned the past without saltiness, “When I was a child, I was afraid that the fishbone would get stuck in my throat, and I couldn’t swallow it even after holding my face red for a long time…”
He is not a person who is good at complaining, and he feels that there is no need to follow up on the past, but in front of Luo Lingsheng, he just wants to talk about trivial things that sound insignificant.
“I have a shadow about the fishbone sticking in my throat, but I really like the taste of fish, so I can only drink fish soup to relieve my cravings.”
Luo Lingsheng asked warmly, “You actually like to drink, why don’t you learn to do it yourself?”
“No, I’m afraid of blowing up the kitchen.” Shi Yunnan was very clear about himself.
While he was chatting with Luo Lingsheng, the action of drinking the soup didn’t stop.
Seeing him so greedy, Luo Lingsheng raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and suddenly felt that the fish soup seemed to be quite delicious.
The two of them chatted casually like this, until the main dish came on the stage, and a melodious piano music came from the side.
Shi Yunnan immediately averted his gaze——
On a small stage not far from them, a young foreigner in a white dress played the violin with dim lights on his head.
Shi Yunnan looked at it very seriously, showing a rare trace of nostalgia, “…This melody seems to be “Commemorative Song”.”
Luo Lingsheng captured the complex expression revealed by the other party, recalled the musical strength of the Wen family, and guessed, “Have you studied music-related things before?”
“Well, when my mother was still alive, she taught me and my brother.” Shi Yunnan looked back and replied lightly.
“My brother learns the cello, and I learn the violin. On our seventh birthday, she also gave each of our brothers a big and small violin.”
“My violin is pure white with my own name on it.”
Luo Lingsheng’s mind was condensed, “What about later?”
“There is no later. That violin is broken.”
“After my mother died, I was sent abroad because I was busy adjusting to life and left the violin.”
Shi Yunnan played with the handle of the spoon, suppressing the flash of sadness in his heart, he deliberately concealed some facts.
The year when Shi Yunnan first went abroad, Mr. Shi arranged him into a completely closed school, saying that he wanted to integrate him into that foreign language environment as soon as possible.
It’s just an eight-year-old child, how could he possibly adapt when he suddenly went abroad?
Whenever it was quiet at night, Shi Yunnan used to hold the violin and recall when his mother was still alive, when he and Wen Yibei always had to learn the same piece.
Whoever finishes the training first will get a fruity candy as a reward.
When he was a child, Shi Yunnan didn’t dare to play at night for fear of disturbing his classmates, but he was worried about others, and others might not think of him.
One day, when he returned to the dormitory after class, he found that his classmates were smashing his violin with a fat student in the senior year, and deliberately mocked him for being a poor Chinese country without parents.
It was Shi Yunnan’s first fight in his life, and there was no doubt that he lost very badly.
With a bruised nose and a swollen face, he hugged the violin that had been broken, and finally fully realized—
His mother died, his brother was not around, and his father reorganized the family. He was no longer a carefree young master, and no one could protect him all the time.
He can only work hard to sharpen his claws and learn to be strong and protect himself.
“What are you thinking about?”
Luo Lingsheng saw Shi Yunnan’s rapidly sinking emotions, and brought him back out loud.
Shi Yunnan returned to his senses and habitually used a smile to cover it up, “I was thinking, but unfortunately I gave up halfway through the violin, and I’m too embarrassed to show my ugliness without being a good student.”
He looked at Luo Lingsheng’s handsome face that he couldn’t get tired of seeing, and the sadness in his heart suddenly dissipated a lot.
“Otherwise, I can go up and play a song for you alone tonight, and let you be my audience.”
Luo Lingsheng knew that there were a lot of jokes in these words, but he remembered Shi Yunnan’s lonely look when he was deep in his memories, and he answered it for the first time—
“If you still like it, you can pick it up and learn it at any time. No matter how good or bad the performance is, I can be your audience in the future.”
The voice soaked in wine is particularly deep, giving people a sense of stability that has never been seen before.
Shi Yunnan met his deep gaze, stunned for two seconds, and then laughed heartily.
“Luo Lingsheng.”
“Don’t do it later, just now.”
Shi Yunnan suddenly felt itchy, got up and turned his fingers, not forgetting to give a warm reminder with a smile.
“You have to be ready, I’m going to come on stage to squeak your ears.”
Luo Lingsheng saw him return to a happy face, “Okay.”
Shi Yunnan took advantage of the gap between the performances and came on stage. He and the foreign brother only briefly communicated for a while, and the other party agreed to give him the violin in his hand.
Shi Yunnan took the other party’s musical instrument and bowed politely to thank him.
After the other party stepped off the stage, he stood in Luo Lingsheng’s direction, looking to meet the man’s gaze.
Looking at each other, everything around him seemed to be quiet.
The inertial memory hidden in his bones made Shi Yunnan set up his posture. He closed his eyes slightly and prepared for four or five seconds, and pulled out the first sound smoothly and smoothly.
Small and simple stage, only a slanted light on the flower wall behind it spreads out.
Shi Yunnan was immersed in the light and shadow, and even the scattered hair showed a thin layer of light.
His slender fingers are pressing the strings and pulling the bow, and even if the melody occasionally pauses, it is difficult to prevent him from being in a quiet and beautiful state at the moment.
Luo Lingsheng looked like a bewitched hunter, staring at him without blinking, until his breath became hot with the melody, until his repressed and closed heart shook with a feeling of ‘possession’.
Until the brief melody ceases—
Shi Yunnan on the stage looked at him again, as if he was asking silently with his eyes: How is it?
For the first time, Luo Lingsheng didn’t sting his own smile in front of outsiders, and gave the applause a qualified audience deserved.
…
Shi Yunnan hasn’t played the violin for too many years. This melody is what he remembers the most, but in less than a minute, he still made too many mistakes and stopped too many times.
Always fearless, he was so nervous that his palms were sweating. Even so, Luo Lingsheng’s response gave him the best compliment.
Shi Yunnan couldn’t hide the smile on his brows. He stepped off the stage and handed the violin back to its owner, “This little brother, thank you for your instrument.”
“You’re welcome, sir, your music is excellent.”
Shi Yunnan raised his eyebrows in surprise, “Just because I just played intermittently?”
“But there is love in your melody, and my ears can tell it apart.” The foreign brother still insisted on his praise, and said bluntly, “And you are very good-looking.”
Shi Yunnan was stunned, and he caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye. The next second, he showed a generous smile.
“Thank you, I like your performance too.”
Shi Yunnan’s eye shape is very good-looking, especially when he smiles, he always gives off an indescribable sense of provocation.
He has always recognized his own excellence and made no secret of his use of it, just like now——
The foreign boy blushed at his smile, and immediately expressed it in unfamiliar Chinese.
“Sir, can I ask for your contact information? If you like, I can teach you to play the violin in the future.”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was an unpleasant refusal behind him, “He shouldn’t be able to give you contact information.”
The foreign boy was stunned for a moment, then turned to face Luo Lingsheng who was controlling the wheelchair, and suddenly felt a little unspeakable fear.
Because the eyes of the other party are scrutinized, the powerful aura is really not friendly.
Shi Yunnan couldn’t help but narrowed his eyes with a smile, as cunning as a little fox who had accomplished some funny trick.
He quickly walked around the foreign brother and walked back to Luo Lingsheng’s side, “Sorry, this little brother, my husband seems to be jealous.”
The foreign brother immediately understood the relationship between the two, and after being embarrassed for two seconds, he put on a sincere smile, “I’m sorry, I was rash.”
“You look like a good match, I wish you happiness!”
“thanks.”
Shi Yunnan accepted this blessing as a matter of course.
Luo Lingsheng sat in the wheelchair without saying a word, Shi Yunnan was not afraid of him being annoyed at all, he pushed his wheelchair and walked out.
While pushing and walking, and also teasing.
“Luo Lingsheng, that foreign boy said we are a good match, what should we do?”
“What do you mean?”
Shi Yunnan walked around in front of him, looking a little unclear and smug, “It’s said that after being together for a long time, there will be a husband and a wife.”
“The longer we’ve been together, the more compatible we are in the eyes of outsiders?”
Husband and wife, together, match.
Luo Lingsheng’s eyes shimmered, and the unspeakable jealousy was dispelled by these three words.
He didn’t agree, but he didn’t refute either, just a subtle upward tick from the corner of his mouth, “Okay, let’s go home.”
“good.”
…
a week later.
Shi Yunnan stayed in the room to study the jewelry design of the new season.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door, accompanied by a milky excitement, “Little uncle, I’m a little goldfish, are you taking a nap?”
“no.”
Shi Yunnan immediately approached with a smile.
As soon as the door was opened, the little goldfish hopped on his lap, and there was unstoppable excitement and excitement in his round and bright eyes.
Shi Yunan squatted down and maintained a head-to-head communication with him, “Have you finished your study class? What’s so fun about it?”
Although it was a weekend when he didn’t have to go to school, the little goldfish, like other rich young masters, was arranged by Luo Lingsheng for equestrian and other courses.
Looking at this time point, it should be not long after the private teaching class.
“Uncle, are you busy?” The little goldfish took his hand and shook it.
“not busy.”
“Then why don’t you come downstairs with me? Uncle is waiting for us on the first floor.”
Shi Yunnan raised his eyebrows in surprise, “He’s back?”
Doesn’t Luo Lingsheng usually have to be busy until five or six o’clock before going home? Why did you come back so early today?
The little goldfish nodded like pounding garlic, looking forward to it, “I just brought back a big baby. He said it’s up to you to dismantle it! Little uncle, hurry up and hurry up.”
“Big baby?” Shi Yunnan became curious and simply hugged the little goldfish, “Okay, I’ll go down with you to see.”
The little goldfish put his arms around his neck obediently, huddled in his arms and didn’t move, “Yeah!”
The two walked to the large living room on the first floor.
Luo Lingsheng sat quietly on the sofa. On the coffee table in front of him was a rectangular white box, which should be the ‘big treasure’ in the mouth of the little goldfish.
“What is this?” Shi Yunnan put down the little goldfish and looked at Luo Lingsheng in surprise.
Luo Lingsheng raised his chin slightly, “For you, take it apart and see?”
“Really for me?”
The little goldfish was so anxious that he stomped his feet, “Little uncle, hurry up, hurry up.”
“Okay, I see, you are still in a hurry.” Shi Yunnan rubbed the child’s head and opened the cabinet with a smile.
The moment his sight touched the inside of the gift box, the smile on his face completely froze—
A brand new violin sits in a box, with pure white sound and bow, only the symbols on both sides of the surface are hot gold. Its upper side panel is engraved with a line of hot gold letters.
Y.NAN.
It’s an abbreviation of his name.
Shi Yunnan was stunned in place for a while, and at the same time as his smile recovered, a gleam of water suddenly filled his eyes.
The current violin is almost no different from the one he received when he was seven years old!
How did Luo Lingsheng know? How did you buy it?
Shi Yunnan couldn’t hide his emotion, and he didn’t know how to express it for a while, so he had to ask dryly.
“You, what did you give me the violin for?”
“Seeing that you had a good time in the restaurant last time, it’s a gift from you for giving me my watch.”
Luo Lingsheng paused for a moment, then added deliberately, “If you don’t like it, you can just leave it alone.”
Shi Yunnan’s eyes returned to the violin, and his thoughts were disturbed.
He had a dream of becoming a ‘violinist’ when he was a child, but it has long since disappeared as he got older.
Shi Yunnan occasionally passed by a piano shop, or still felt nostalgic when he saw other people playing, but after work, he never bought another one for himself.
Because the skills are unfamiliar, because no one listens, and because they can’t go back.
But at this moment, Luo Lingsheng gave him such a gift because he was playing in the restaurant.
Shi Yunnan is false to say that he is not surprised, and false to say that he is not moved.
Shi Yunnan has received gifts from many people, but only this violin has fallen heavily on his heart.
“Wow! So beautiful!”
The little goldfish approached with envy on his face.
He reached out his little hand cautiously into the box, and stopped just in time for fear of breaking it.
The little goldfish turned around and grabbed Luo Lingsheng’s wrist, his cheeks grunting with anger—
“Uncle, you are partial. You only buy gifts for my little uncle.”
“In your heart, you like little uncle the most!”
The sonorous voice of a child pierced that little-known fact.
“…”
Indeed, the ‘eccentric’ Luo Lingsheng was silent for a second and changed the subject without a trace.
“You haven’t learned the violin, what do you want this gift for?”
The little goldfish raised his head and answered, “I can learn, can my uncle be my teacher?”
Shi Yunnan teased his little hand and shook his head, “I’ve almost forgotten, I can’t teach our clever little goldfish.”
The little goldfish quickly thought of a solution, “Then let my uncle find a teacher for us, and you can accompany me to study, okay?”
His eyes moved back and forth between the two adults’ faces, eager to get their approval.
“If you really want to learn, I will ask Grandpa Qin to find a teacher for you.”
Luo Lingsheng responded with rare connivance.
He gave an eye hint to the little goldfish’s instantly happy gaze.
The little goldfish was very smart, and immediately hugged Shi Yunnan’s sticky thigh, “Little uncle, shall we learn together?”
“Little uncle! Little uncle! Little…”
Shi Yunnan was crushed by this coquettish child, and he vaguely thought, “Okay, you clingy, can I accompany you?”
“Little uncle pulls the hook!”
“Pull the hook.”
Seeing that his wish was fulfilled, the little goldfish immediately ran to the housekeeper to announce the good news, and he looked like a short-legged corgi.
Shi Yunnan looked back with a smile, and suddenly caught a glimpse of the watch on Luo Lingsheng’s wrist. After the initial move, his thoughts became alive again——
Since Luo Lingsheng has the heart to give him the violin, does that mean that the other party also has his preferences that he blurted out and remembered?
“Luo Lingsheng.”
“Ok?”
Shi Yunnan gave him a charming smile, “Thank you for your gift, I like it very much.”
“It’s good to like it.”
Shi Yunnan got his answer and slowly approached.
Luo Lingsheng sat quietly on the sofa, letting the other party shorten the distance little by little, and the back hidden under the clothes collapsed tightly.
The two were so close that they even breathed into each other, and the ambiguous and blurred factor exploded in the air.
Shi Yunnan’s eyes wandered to Luo Lingsheng’s thin lips, and every breath and breath were provocative, “How about I give you a return gift?”
Luo Lingsheng’s properly suppressed heart finally began to fluctuate, and a deep sense of possessiveness appeared in the depths of his pupils.
Suddenly, the phone call rang, dissipating the chaotic atmosphere.
Shi Yunnan, who was interrupted, had to get up and blew his bangs irritably.
Luo Lingsheng frowned indistinctly, his back was about to be stiff, and he silently watched Shi Yunnan connect the phone.
“Hey?”
“Hey, Mr. Shi, I’m Lou Qian. I’m sorry to bother you, but in an emergency, I can only contact you directly.”
Shi Yunnan’s eyes changed slightly, realizing that something was wrong, “Miss Lou, if you have something to say, just say it.”
“Mr. Shi, I believe that the appearance of the products you designed for our Lou’s is original, but just half an hour ago, Zhao’s Group launched a new series of air cushion foundations for pre-sale.”
“I looked at their product concept art, the air cushion look and your design…”
Lou Qian paused for two seconds, then focused on saying, “From my personal point of view, they are likely to plagiarize your original design.”
