The night was quiet and deserted when suddenly the sound of a zither drifted from a courtyard. The music was continuous and the player was indeed highly skilled, but unfortunately, there was a sense of sorrow in the piece. Listening to it for a while could ruin one's good mood.

Most importantly, the music disturbed her sleep.

Fengguang tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. She got out of bed and called a maid to bring her zither.

She took a deep breath, pressed the strings with one hand and plucked them lightly with the other. The music suddenly rose, but it was without rules, without melody or score, just as she pleased and plucked at will. At first listen, it sounded like a demonic sound disturbing the ears.

But when this casually played melody met that extremely mournful voice, the mournful sound was gradually disrupted, until finally it became neither a melody nor a tune.

Then, upon hearing a distant "clang," those who understand music would know that a string had broken.

Feng Guang smoothed the strings in his hands, stretched, and smiled smugly, "Serves you right for disturbing my sleep so late at night! Now your instrument is broken!"

Of course she knew it was Xie Yaoyao playing the piano. If possible, she wouldn't deliberately cause conflict with Xie Yaoyao. After all, her principle has always been to avoid getting involved with the protagonist as much as possible. But this time, Xie Yaoyao disturbed people's sleep first, so Feng Guang couldn't be blamed.

It's understandable that Xie Yaoyao would play such a mournful tune. She visited Luo Yuanzhi today and learned that he was injured and needed to recuperate for a while before he could visit her. She understood but was also worried about his injury. Since transmigrating, Xie Yaoyao has gained the appreciation of many people with her talent, and even the Xie family has to look at her with new respect. However, with the arrival of Feng Guang, everyone's attention has been focused on Feng Guang, including Xie Zhan.

If there's one person in the Xie family that Xie Yaoyao has a good impression of, it's Xie Zhan. Xie Zhan is very kind to everyone in the Xie family, but Xie Yaoyao has noticed that Xie Zhan's kindness towards Feng Guang is not just ordinary.

Overwhelmed by a sense of loss and worry for Luo Yuanzhi, Xie Yaoyao unconsciously played such a mournful tune. She was feeling sentimental when she unexpectedly encountered Feng Guang's haphazard and random playing. Feng Guang's music seemed to have no rules, yet it inexplicably took her rhythm off track. Xie Yaoyao tried to regain her rhythm, but the strings had already broken under her hands.

Xie Yaoyao didn't care how angry she was; all she knew was that she could finally get a good night's sleep. Just as she turned to walk towards the bed, she was suddenly confronted by the man who had been standing behind her for who knows how long.

She was startled and took a step back, bumping into the table. He reached out and put his arm around her waist, preventing her from falling to the ground.

The familiar scent of a man wafted towards her, and Feng Guang took a moment to react. After glancing at the closed door, she asked, "How did Third Uncle get into my room?"

“Fengguang didn’t lock the window.” Xie Zhan tapped her forehead with his index finger. “I just wanted to remind Fengguang to lock the window before going to bed, but I ended up hearing her play the piano.”

"I was just... playing around, don't take it seriously." Feng Guang quickly waved his hand.

Xie Zhan smiled and said, "It does sound like a casual performance, and the music is completely unstructured, but Feng Guang's skill in playing the zither cannot be concealed."
