nYan Jiang knew the entire situation and could understand Song Ci’s timidity. He casually strummed the strings of the zither, producing an unpleasant sound.
nSong Ci quickly slapped Yan Jiang’s hand away and lovingly touched her zither. She said to Yan Jiang, “You can’t be so rude to a zither.”
nYan Jiang shrugged as he observed Song Ci treating the violin like her own baby. He suddenly said, “Go and visit Teacher Shen when you are free. I think he will forgive you.”
n
n
nSong Ci remained silent.
nHugging her violin, she walked up to the French window and performed a well-known solo performance, “The Great Blessing of Liang”. After the performance ended, Song Ci put down her violin and said with a slightly lonely expression, “The first song that teacher taught me was ‘The Great Blessing of Liang’.”
nSong Ci was exceptionally talented in the field of music, especially in violin. She was only 4 years old when she became Teacher Shen Yubei’s student. She was Shen Yubei’s most beloved and only disciple.
nThe first time Song Ci saw Shen Yubei, she had played ‘The Great Blessing of Liang’. Although she had played slowly then, she did not make a single mistake.
n
n
nUsing Shen Yubei’s exact words, Song Ci was born for the violin.
nSong Ci put away her violin and stopped talking about the past. “I should go and cook now. Ah Jiang, come and help.”
n“Coming.”
nHan Zhan’s kitchen was open-aired and very spacious, with a table in the middle. Yan Jiang walked into the kitchen and was slightly surprised to see the ingredients on the table. “Song Song, there’s so much meat. Aren’t you afraid of gaining weight?”
n
n
nSong Ci pinched her slender waist and said worriedly, “What to do? Brother Han likes to eat meat. I feel like my slender waist is about to become fat.” What a sweet sorrow.
nYan Jiang was totally flabbergasted. He said in a sour tone, “I also like to eat meat. Why are you always so reluctant to order a plate of meat whenever we go out for a meal? It’s so unfair, Songsong. Have you heard the saying that men are like clothes and women are like hands and feet? If this is used on us, it should be Han Zhan who is like clothes and I am your limbs.”
nSong Ci said heartlessly, “It’s true that you are my limbs, but Brother Han is my underwear. I’d rather lose my limbs than be naked.”
nSong Ci was heartless. Yan Jiang’s heart felt like it was being stabbed. “Song Song, you had a change of heart.”
n“My heart has never been with you.”
nYan Jiang really wanted to go home now.
n
n
n“Come, help me wash the baby cabbage.” Song Ci tossed two baby cabbages to Yan Jiang.
nYan Jiang rolled up his sleeves and helped without complaints. After washing the vegetables, Yan Jiang had a cigarette in his mouth as he leaned against the kitchen counter and played with his cell phone. He saw something and frowned slightly. He bit his cigarette and muttered. “Damn, I am on the hot search again.”
nSong Ci didn’t even look up and asked, “Why?”
nTaking off his cigarette with his slender fingers, Yan Jiang said mockingly, “I had a meal with Du Xueyan this afternoon and we were photographed. They said we are in a relationship.” Yan Jiang glanced at Song Ci and asked her, “Do you think this is the trending topic that Du Xueyan bought?”
nSong Ci said, “No way. With Du Xueyan’s fame, why would she need to hype things up with you?”
nYan Jiang smirked. “Do you know why Du Xueyan came back to develop her career?”
nSong Ci was only concerned about Du Xueyan’s work, and not her personal life or career development, so she naturally didn’t know anything. “Any insider information? Tell me.”
nYan Jiang said, “If the news is correct, Du Xueyan is going bankrupt overseas. She had an affair with someone and was discovered by his real wife. That real wife is a ruthless character. She warned Du Xueyan to get lost. If Du Xueyan doesn’t, she will ruin her career.”
n
n
nSong Ci was a fan of Du Xueyan’s work. Hearing this, she couldn’t help but feel slightly uncomfortable. “This rumor might not be accurate.”
n“I’m not sure.” Yan Jiang pressed several buttons on his cell phone screen, before putting it away. He said, “Regardless of whether it’s true or not, no one will be able to create hype with me.”
nOn Weibo, the netizens were discussing the relationship between Du Xueyan and Yan Jiang. It was successfully trending.
nDu Xueyan was shocked to see this trending topic. Her manager said, “This is the power of a top celebrity. Look, this news has only been out for slightly more than 10 minutes and it’s already the number one trending post. Xueyan, finding Yan Jiang to film a music video is the best way to promote yourself.”
nDu Xueyan finally acknowledged her manager’s foresight and believed that collaborating with Yan Jiang was indeed beneficial with no harm.
n“Should we remove the top search?” Du Xueyan asked her manager.
nThe manager said, “Forget it, let it stay there. Anyway, it’s a non-existent matter and we are not at fault.”
nThey didn’t wish to withdraw, but Yan Jiang wouldn’t give up so easily. Not long after, another trending topic rose from the bottom of the trending topics to third place. Du Xueyan scrolled through Weibo again and saw a trending topic called “Yan Jiang’s Reply about His Relationship Status”.
n“Yan Jiang responded?”
nDu Xueyan opened the trending topic and saw that Yan Jiang had indeed replied.
nYan Jiang’s reply was very personal and rude. It matched his style of doing whatever he wanted.
nYan Jiang: Talk my a*s! @ Visit Entertainment: Shocking news! The Diva Du Xueyan has been photographed entering and exiting the restaurant with Yan Jiang at the same time. The two of them behaved intimately, and are suspected to be in a relationship.
nIt was indeed Yan Jiang’s style.
n
n
nDu Xueyan was both angry and amused, as she dismissed her initial plan to create hype with Yan Jiang. This guy was like a bomb—he would explode at anyone who provoked him.
nSong Ci cooked up three to four dishes. She took some time to look at the hottest topics on Weibo and also saw Yan Jiang’s reply.
nAlthough she was already used to Yan Jiang’s rough and straightforward manner, Song Ci was still slightly worried for him. “Aren’t you afraid of offending others by saying this?” After all, he was a famous person and Du Xueyan was not a nobody. Yan Jiang was too upright and would definitely offend someone.
nYan Jiang had already seen through everything. He said expressionlessly, “If you are afraid of offending others, you will be used by others.” He was extremely arrogant. “I will never be used by others.”
nSong Ci teased him. “If you had half your guts in front of my elder sister, I would have to look at you in a new light.”
nYan Jiang instantly shut his mouth.
nIn front of Song Fei, Yan Jiang was like a quail, unable to even lift his head.
nJust then, the doorbell rang again.
nfuzzySong Ci felt it was strange when she heard the doorbell. Yan Jiang snuffed out his cigarette, looked at the door and asked Song Ci, “Is your Brother Han back?”
nSong Ci was puzzled. “No way. Brother Han knows the password. There’s no need to press the doorbell.”
n“Is that the delivery guy?” Song Ci was a shopping maniac and loved online shopping. It was very likely that it was a delivery guy.
n“Probably.”
nThe two of them chatted as they walked towards the main entrance.
nSong Ci opened the door, looked up and was stunned.
nStanding in front of her was an old man wearing a white long-sleeved shirt, black suit pants, a straw hat, and a pair of black leather shoes.
nIn each hand was a snakeskin pocket.
nIt was very down-to-earth!
nSong Ci took a deep breath when she guessed the elderly’s identity.
nOh my god, it’s Brother Han’s grandfather!
