Chapter 67 Heavenly Music! Commander Qin was completely captivated!
"It moved! Honey! It really moved!"
Qin Lie seemed to have discovered a new continent, and he lay down on Jiang Wu's stomach, his expression a mixture of surprise and caution.
His ear pressed tightly against that slightly raised, soft mound, and he held his breath, as if listening to the most beautiful music in the world.
"Stop pressing down on me."
Jiang Wu was amused by his silly appearance and reached out to push his fluffy head.
"I didn't press on it!" Qin Lie raised his head and retorted seriously, "I'm holding it up! I definitely won't press on our baby!"
As he spoke, he pressed his ear back against the wall, muttering to himself.
"Baby, move a little more so Daddy can hear you."
"It's Daddy, baby, can you hear me?"
Jiang Wu looked at this tall man, who was over 1.8 meters tall, and saw him acting like a three-year-old child. She shook her head helplessly, but her eyes were full of gentle smiles.
That tiny life seemed to have truly heard its father's call, and gently turned over inside.
This completely ignited Qin Lie's passion.
He remained in that position all night, refusing to leave for even a moment.
I'll ask Jiang Wu later what the baby ate today.
A little while later, she would report to the little one in her belly what he had done in the army that day.
She kept rambling on and on, without end.
Jiang Wu couldn't sleep because of his noise, so she finally kicked him off the bed. He then hugged his pillow and slept on a makeshift bed on the floor for half the night, feeling wronged.
the next day.
Looking at the bright sunshine outside the window and the flowers and plants swaying in the wind in the yard, Jiang Wu suddenly remembered something.
prenatal education.
The Hehuan Sect, where she lived in her previous life, only focused on improving cultivation levels and had no concept of prenatal education.
But after coming into this world, she heard bits and pieces of information from books and from other people.
It is said that if a mother listens to beautiful music and looks at beautiful things during pregnancy, and maintains a happy mood, her child will be more intelligent, beautiful, and gentle.
Jiang Wu stroked her lower abdomen, lost in thought.
She doesn't necessarily want her child to be particularly smart or beautiful.
She simply felt that communicating with this little life that was connected to her by blood through music seemed like a wonderful thing.
Moreover, she hadn't touched that guqin for a long time.
Since coming into this world, she has mostly played the piano to disguise her identity or to achieve some other purpose.
It had been a long time since she had played a piece for herself, for pure joy.
Thinking of this, Jiang Wu got up.
She moved the spotless guqin from the corner of the room to the grape trellis in the courtyard.
Qin Lie had just returned from his morning exercise, covered in sweat. Upon seeing Jiang Wu's actions, he immediately rushed over.
"Wife, what are you doing? Put it down! How can you carry something so heavy by yourself!"
He nervously took the guqin from Jiang Wu's hands, carefully placed it on the stone table, and kept muttering to himself.
"From now on, just call me for these heavy tasks! Don't do them yourself, understand?"
"Understood, Commander Qin." Jiang Wu winked at him playfully.
Qin Lie blushed at her address, scratched his head, and smiled sheepishly.
"Wife, are you going to... play the piano?"
"Mm." Jiang Wu nodded, sat down on the stone bench, and adjusted the position of the guqin. "I want to play it for the baby."
Play it for the baby?
Qin Lie was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up.
He thought his wife's idea was absolutely brilliant!
Although he was a rough and uncultured man who didn't know anything about music, he knew that his wife looked especially beautiful when she played the piano, like a fairy.
If a baby receives such refined artistic education while still in the womb, he will surely be just as smart and beautiful as his mother when he is born!
"Great! This is great!" Qin Lie nodded repeatedly, rubbing his hands excitedly. "Then play quickly, I... I'll go get you a more comfortable chair!"
As he spoke, he rushed into the house like a gust of wind and brought out the rocking chair with soft cushions that Jiang Wu usually liked to sit in.
Then, he poured a glass of warm water and placed it next to Jiang Wu.
Finally, he moved a small stool and sat not too far from Jiang Wu, looking at her expectantly, like a primary school student about to listen to a teacher's lecture.
Jiang Wu felt a warmth in her heart as she watched him bustling around taking care of things.
She took a deep breath, clearing her mind of the jumbled thoughts.
Slender, fair fingers gently rested on the strings.
At that moment, her demeanor suddenly changed.
She is no longer the charming and languid military wife, nor the shrewd and calculating woman.
She was completely immersed in a serene and distant state of mind.
Her gaze transcended the barriers of time and space, as if she had returned to that misty, celestial mountain, to the cave where she had cultivated for a thousand years.
Zheng—
A clear and melodious note from the zither rang out in the quiet courtyard.
That sound was unlike anything from this world.
At first, it was like a mountain stream, clear and ethereal, cleansing one's soul.
As Qin Lie sat there, he felt all his fatigue and heat swept away by the music.
His heart was at peace like never before.
Gradually, the music changed.
It became low and melodious, carrying a lingering sense of loneliness and desolation.
It's as if someone is walking alone in the long night, unable to find their way back or see their way home.
Qin Lie's heart tightened for no apparent reason.
He seemed to hear endless loneliness in the music.
He couldn't help but look at Jiang Wu.
Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the grape trellis, dappling her body.
Her profile was so fair it was almost translucent, and her long eyelashes cast a faint shadow under her eyelids.
Her expression was so focused, so distant.
At that moment, Qin Lie suddenly felt that his wife was very, very far away from him.
She doesn't belong to this noisy world; she's like a fairy who has mistakenly wandered into the mortal realm, and she might ride the wind and return at any moment.
This thought caused Qin Lie's heart to ache sharply.
He wanted to rush up to her, to hug her, and to use his body heat to pull her out of that lonely state of mind.
However, he dared not.
He was afraid of disturbing her.
He could only sit there, clenching his fists tightly, staring at her without moving.
Just as Qin Lie's heart was being gripped by that sorrowful emotion, almost suffocating him.
The music changed once again.
It becomes gentle, tender, and full of vitality and hope.
Like the melting of ice and snow, all things are revived.
It was like the warm spring sun shining into a long-sealed, dark room.
The music contained the shyness of a first meeting, the joy of tentative exploration, the warmth of getting to know each other, and boundless anticipation for the future.
As Qin Lie listened, his tightly clenched fist slowly loosened.
He stared intently at Jiang Wu.
He knew that the music was played by her, but also by him.
It's all the little things that have happened since they met.
From initial unfamiliarity and tentative exploration, to later entanglement and decline, and now to mutual support and blood ties.
Unbeknownst to him, he had already penetrated so deeply into her heart.
The music ended, but the lingering melody remained.
The entire courtyard was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Not only Qin Lie, but even the military wives in the neighboring courtyard who were drawn over by the music were captivated.
They didn't know what kind of music it was, but they could understand the emotions in it.
It was a deep affection that could move any woman.
A long time passed.
"Clap clap clap..."
Someone was the first to clap.
Immediately afterwards, applause erupted.
"It sounds so beautiful! Xiaowu, you play the zither so well!"
"Yes, I almost cried listening to it! It's even better than the radio version!"
Zhou Nianci leaned over the wall and gave Jiang Wu a thumbs up.
Jiang Wu snapped out of her reverie while listening to the music, looked at the sincere admiring faces around her, and smiled somewhat shyly.
Qin Lie suddenly stood up and strode over to Jiang Wu.
He didn't speak, he just looked at her intently.
Those usually sharp eyes were now brimming with complex yet intense emotions.
There was shock, heartache, fascination, and also a sense of relief at having lost something and then regained it.
He slowly knelt on one knee in front of Jiang Wu.
Amidst the gasps of everyone around him, he took Jiang Wu's hand, which was still slightly cold from playing the piano, and reverently placed it to his lips, giving it a gentle kiss.
"daughter in law."
His voice was so hoarse it was unrecognizable.
"From now on, play it for me and the kids every day, okay?"
He wasn't making a request, but rather pleading.
He wanted to touch the depths of her soul every day through the music of the piano.
Jiang Wu looked at the deep affection in his eyes, her heart trembled, and she was about to nod.
Just then, Zhong Tinglan appeared at the doorway.
Unlike the others who looked completely absorbed, her brows were slightly furrowed, and her expression was somewhat serious.
She was also holding a brown paper envelope in her hand.
"Jiang Wu".
Zhong Tinglan's voice broke the moment of tenderness.
"He came from the capital, specifically requesting that he be given to you."
