Chapter 633 What do you want me to do?
This time, the boy seemed to notice Lin Xi's gaze. He stopped, turned to her, and asked, "Want to learn the violin?"
Lin Xi was surprised that he had seen through her thoughts, and she didn't expect him to ask her that question on his own initiative.
Lin Xi stared at the violin in his hand for a moment, as if asking herself whether she really liked it.
She didn't actually know if she could learn to play the violin, but when she first heard that piece, she was thrilled.
She also wanted to try and see if she could do it too through her own efforts.
Since returning home that day, Lin Xi has never settled on anything.
She had always fantasized about what it would be like if she were the one playing the violin, and whether one day in the future she could also shine in her favorite field and the things she loved.
Lin Xi didn't tell Qiao Xing all of this. She only told her that she wanted to try, and that she knew it would be difficult, but right now she couldn't muster any interest in anything else.
Qiao Xing said, "If you want to learn, I will definitely support you, but you should know that the violin is very difficult, especially for someone your age who is just starting out. It may be even more difficult to learn."
Lin Xi had thought about what she said, but she still told Qiao Xing, "I understand that I may not be able to truly become a violinist, but if I can learn it well and continue to study and research in the future, I will eventually succeed."
Qiao Xing had been encouraging Lin Xi to do things she was willing to do.
Now that Lin Xi had spoken up, she was naturally happy, "Okay, then go and learn, I support you."
Qiao Xing's approval made Lin Xi even happier.
But she came to Qiao Xing not just to tell her this.
"Sister, there's something else. I haven't told Mom about this. Ever since what happened with Feng Jiao, she's been very careful, afraid that I'll run into someone like Feng Jiao again. I'm afraid that if I tell her, she'll worry that I'll be bullied again."
Qiao Xing understood her concerns. "It's up to you. If you don't want to talk to her, then don't."
Lin Xi knew Wang Qin's temperament well; she always liked to worry unnecessarily and was prone to sentimentality.
Sometimes she gets scared before anything even happens.
Lin Xi nodded, then remained silent, quietly watching Qiao Xing.
Qiao Xing seemed to suddenly understand something and couldn't help but laugh, "You didn't tell your mother not only because you didn't want her to worry, but also because you didn't want her to worry about money, so you came to me?"
Lin Xi felt a little ashamed. She knew that learning the xiaotiqin would cost a lot of money, and she didn't want to add to Wang Qin's burden. Among the people around her, only Qiao Xing could help her.
"Sister, don't worry, no matter how much it costs to learn the violin this time, I will pay you back every penny."
Her eyes shone with sincerity and confidence, and Qiao Xing felt very gratified to see Lin Xi like this; she had finally witnessed her growth.
She patted Lin Xi's head and said, "Silly girl, it's already great that you took the initiative to tell me about this. I don't need you to give me anything in return. As long as you want to do what you're willing to do, no matter what, I will support you unconditionally."
Qiao Xing's words moved Lin Xi deeply. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she hugged Qiao Xing tightly, crying, "Sister..."
What did she do to deserve having a sister like Qiao Xing? Even if she were her own daughter, perhaps no one could treat her as well as Qiao Xing.
Being able to call Qiao Xing "sister," and being cared for and treated as a close relative, is perhaps the luckiest thing Lin Xi has ever experienced in her life.
Qiao Xing wiped away Lin Xi's tears, and the two brought the topic back to business. "Since you've made up your mind to learn, you can't be casual about it. The violin is not like other things; you can't just find any hobby class to attend. You have to find a professional learning institution."
Lin Xi said, "I've looked it up online. Although these training institutions are cheap, there are a lot of scammers out there. I'm afraid of running into one."
Qiao Xing praised, "That's good. Now you not only know how to look up things online, but you've also become more cautious. That's great. With you like this, I'm not worried that you'll be bullied when you're out there all alone."
Lin Xi blushed. "My sister taught me all of this."
Qiao Xing said, "You're right. Many training institutions nowadays are actually a bunch of fraudsters under the guise of teaching. And these institutions are everywhere, and their conditions are quite good, making it impossible to tell which ones are real and which ones are fake."
"Then what should we do?"
Lin Xi had thought before that this matter wouldn't be easy, especially for someone like her who was a latecomer to the field. Finding a suitable place to learn and master the skills wouldn't be simple.
"Don't worry, when your brother-in-law comes back, he'll figure something out."
No sooner had he finished speaking than the sound of the door opening came from outside; Qin Ce had returned.
Lin Xi quickly stood up and awkwardly greeted Qin Ce, "Hello, brother-in-law..."
Qin Ce nodded slightly to her, "Xi Xi is here."
The nanny wouldn't be here to cook for another half hour, so Qin Ce changed his shoes and wondered if he should go to the kitchen to cut some fruit for Qiao Xing to eat first.
Qiao Xing walked over and pulled him into the bedroom. "I have something to tell you."
Qin Ce looked at her questioningly, "What's wrong? Hasn't Xi Xi's matter been resolved yet?"
Qiao Xing shook her head. "No, it's not about her, but it is her business nonetheless."
"you say."
“Xixi told me that she wanted to learn the violin, but she didn’t want to tell Wang Qin, so she came to me.”
Qin Ce said, "This is a good thing."
Qiao Xing said, "Yes, I also think it's really not easy for her to take the initiative to do something. She was afraid that it would cost too much money, so she didn't dare to tell Wang Qin. She could only tell me because she was afraid that I would be unhappy. She said that all this money was borrowed from me and that she would definitely find part-time jobs in the future to pay it all back."
As Qiao Xing talked, he found Lin Xi rather cute.
She didn't know that learning the violin was very complicated, and that the expenses involved were not something she could earn by doing several part-time jobs.
But Qiao Xing was still moved by her confidence and self-assurance.
After listening to what Qiao Xing said, Qin Ce asked, "Then what do you want me to do?"
“Many online agencies are scams, and I’m afraid I won’t be able to find a good one. You know a lot of people, so I want you to find one with better conditions. But you have to keep the cost a secret from Lin Xi, otherwise I’m afraid she’ll feel too burdened and won’t want to continue learning.”
Qin Ce agreed almost without hesitation, "Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll have Xing Jiu make the arrangements."
After he finished speaking, he stared at Qiao Xing quietly.
Qiao Xing blinked, puzzled, and asked, "What are you looking at me for?"
