"Lin Luo, give it a try."
"Okay." Lin Luo usually obeyed Ji Chi'an's words. She climbed up from the sofa obediently, walked to the piano, tested the sound, then found the music sheet on the iPad and put it on the piano stand, straightened her skirt, and sat down calmly, with a natural and upright posture. Her slender fingers touched the keys, relaxed but powerful, and then flexibly moved between the keys, the piano sound flowed out smoothly, and was pleasant to the ears.
Her posture and expression were so relaxed. The warm summer sunlight sprinkled through the window, outlining the perfect silhouette of the girl. Her back was thin but had a natural and elegant curve, like a quiet butterfly resting.
There was no fancy dress like in the video, no excellent stage lighting, but the simplest clothes and hairstyle and the most primitive sunlight, but they became the natural focus of attention.
As an artist all her life, Lin Luo could do everything except acting and singing. She never stopped learning piano after she started at the age of four, and she was the top star of the piano club until college. It
was completely different from the original Lin Luo's exam-style piano.
Ning Fei was a little surprised, but Ji Qian's eyes were full of amazement.
Very good, a real princess, no matter how down and out she was, she was still a princess, and she didn't need the gorgeous clothes he gave her, she was a princess herself.
"+5"
Lin Luo finished playing a song. Although she got five extra points, knowing that she had performed well, she pouted dissatisfiedly: "The tone of this piano is a bit ordinary."
Ji Qian smiled, little thing, so picky. He
walked over slowly, sat down beside her naturally, and put his hands on the keys: "It's quite ordinary. I just bought a Steinway a few days ago. You can try it out later."
"Steinway, I like the 'harmonious sound' one, it's so beautiful."
"Yeah, okay, then I'll customize a similar one later."
"It will take several years, right?"
"It's okay, just wait."
[Ahhhh! You two, is this a matter of several years? This is a matter of a lot of money! ]
[One or two million dollars to buy a piano is about the same as ten or twenty bucks to buy a vertical flute]
[Fuck, this is pampering from a rich man! I'm so touched!]
[They are both so natural! It seems that Lin Luo is used to being pampered!]
[The most terrifying thing is that Lin Luo is so pampered by Master Ji that he even sends flowers to his brother! Ahhh! This is too much!]
[Don't you think Lin Luo doesn't realize that he is being pampered?]
[The truth is revealed] [ How can I put it?
I feel sorry for Ning Fei. I wonder if the dog food tastes like lemon]
Lemons aside, the picture is truly pleasing to the eye.
Ji Chi'an sat down next to Lin Luo, tilted his head, and saw her profile clearly. In the sunlight, a layer of fine golden fluff was outlined, which looked soft and sweet, like a peach.
"Too soft." Ji Chi'an said softly.
"Hmm?" Lin Luo turned her head to look at him, her eyelashes fluttering, a little confused.
Ji Chi'an avoided her gaze and pressed a few notes with his fingers, saying, "Your technique is very skillful, but the momentum is not enough. This piece needs to be more open and closed, more majestic, and the tone should be more passionate."
Lin Luo pursed his lips and nodded, "I know, but I just can't muster up that energy."
"It's okay, follow me." Ji Chi'an said, and his bony, slender and powerful fingers began to fly on the black and white keyboard. Unlike Lin Luo's ease and naturalness, his smoothness brought in masculine strength and momentum, and tension and grandeur instantly surged out.
Lin Luo followed in the next small beat, and suddenly the brilliant and glorious sadness was integrated with delicate magnificence.
The two of them didn't say a word, nor did they make eye contact. They just sat quietly in the sun. Everything was seamless and seemed to be made by nature.
The reason why Ji Chi'an liked to play the piano was simply because his life was too gloomy for a few years. He felt that the sound of the piano was much better than the human voice. Later, it became a habit.
Not many people knew that he could play the piano so well, and no one had ever played a piece of piano with him. This was the first time that Lin Luo and he had worked together, but it was like they had been friends for a long time.
Ji Chi'an didn't believe in love that grew over time, nor did he believe in love at first sight. He only believed in match made in heaven, and he felt that Lin Luo was meant to be his match.
Because her exquisite beauty was not covered by his brilliance, but just followed him. She understood his rhythm, which was precious.
"+10"
After the song, Ning Fei couldn't help but applaud, showing a natural and amazing smile: "I said, Luo Luo's piano is a must, but I didn't expect President Ji to be so good. You two are really a perfect match."
But when she looked at Lin Luo, her eyes were full of inquiry. She remembered that Lin Luo's piano skills were not so good, because Lin Luo insisted on learning piano for Chu Ling in the next few years, and he himself was not very interested.
Could it be that something else happened during the years she was in the United States?
Lin Luo said thank you politely and said nothing more. No matter how many mistakes she made, she was not a fool. Ning Fei kept talking about Chu Ling because she didn't want to take advantage of her. Although she didn't know what her purpose was, she wouldn't rush into it.
Ning Fei knew that she didn't want to mention Chu Ling, and she also felt that now that she had Ji Chi'an's support, she would definitely be reluctant to mention Chu Ling in front of him, so she had to mention it.
She stood against the sofa, her eyes filled with nostalgia and longing, and spoke softly: "I haven't heard Luoluo play the piano for several years. Luoluo used to play with senior..."
"I'm sorry, Miss Ning." Ji Qian interrupted Ning Fei before she could finish her words, "I know you may have had a good relationship with Luoluo in the past, but I personally think it's not good to mention Luoluo's past private affairs repeatedly in a live broadcast. I don't mean anything else, I just think it's respect for people's rights. Maybe the friend you repeatedly mentioned doesn't want to be discussed in public like this."
Ji Qian's voice was not particularly fierce, just his usual nonchalant indifference, and he spoke slowly and convincingly.
After hearing this, Ning Fei covered her mouth lightly with her fingertips and then bowed: "Oh, I'm sorry, President Ji, I didn't notice it if you hadn't told me. It was my first time recording a variety show and I forgot about it. I just treated it as a chat with ordinary friends."
Lin Luo smiled and waved at her: "It's okay, it's okay, I don't blame you."
His attitude was friendly and generous, but the subtext was: You did make a mistake, but I won't bother with you.
Then he put his other hand under the piano and quietly gave Ji Chi'an a thumbs up.
Ji Chi'an looked at the thumb that was dangling proudly and suppressed the smile on his face. He was a little bad boy, so he could be the bad guy and she could just pretend to be a good person.
"+3"
She couldn't laugh, she had to be serious, she had to let Ning Fei, who came out of nowhere, know that he was not easy to mess with, so that she could take her senior away.
It's already difficult to chase a girlfriend, and I just sent the little milk dog away, and now you've got a senior who's annoying. Isn't it annoying?
Thinking of this, the unhappiness in her eyes could not be hidden, and the gentle and polite aura suddenly became cold.
The crowd of spectators who were using microscopes to pick at the candy were instantly excited:
[Jealous!! This is absolutely jealous!! Old Ji really likes Lin Luoshi! ]
[Miss Ning, Luoluo, double-standard dogs, beat them to death! ]
[Boss Ji is so possessive, my Canary CP is walking sideways today! ]
[Ning Fei was inexplicably murdered, I felt distressed for a second, and then I cheered for President Ji for a hundred seconds! ! ! ! I just like to see a domineering CEO fall in love with me! ! ]
[Wake up! Am I the only one who still calls Ji Qian'an husband? ]
[Sister, wake up, are you prettier than Lin Luo or do you have a better figure than Lin Luo? If
Lin Luo had not felt ashamed and therefore had never clicked into the live broadcast room to watch it, she would have discovered that, except for her, everyone in the world knew that Ji Chi'an doted on her, and she just didn't know how to appreciate what she had.
As for this, Ning Fei had always known that Lin Luo had been able to live a good life easily since she was a child. She ate desserts and cakes every day and never controlled her diet, but she was always thin. She didn't study hard but always did well in the exams. She was the first one to join the cheerleading team, but in the end she pushed herself down in just three days, just because she was thin, she was pretty, she danced better, and no one had ever disciplined her for her reckless extravagance. She felt that everything good in the world was taken for granted.
After a few years, although Lin Luo looked less erratic and impulsive than before and more mature, his attitude of not caring about anything still made Ning Fei feel extremely uncomfortable.
Compared with her, Ning Fei lived too hard and clumsy when she was a girl. She didn't dislike Lin Luo, never disliked her, because she was the only girl in the circle who took her out to play, but she didn't like Lin Luo either, because she was justified and jealous.
The only day she liked Lin Luo was the day she knew that Lin Luo's family was broken up. She imagined Lin Luo falling into the quagmire and having nowhere to go, and thought he was so cute.
At that time, Ning Fei had not eaten staple food for five years, lost half of her weight, and stood on the T stage of an international fashion show.
She comes from a wealthy family and has never lacked money. The reason she has to endure this is because she wants to stand on the stage and let all the girls envy her, and take back the envy and jealousy she had paid when she was young.
She once thought that Lin Luo would never be able to stand up again, so she didn't care. Until this month, all major platforms kept pushing various news about her, she found that this person was as lucky as ever, and the reluctance in her youth flourished. It happened that Qi Hua withdrew from the program at this time, so she persuaded the agent to get this resource.
In fact, she didn't want to do anything, she just wanted Lin Luo to be crazy and jealous of her once, like when she was young.
Ning Fei looked at the two people who were talking carefully beside the piano and smiled. It was good. Everything would be more painful only after you get it and then lose it.
She didn't mind trying to bring Lin Luo and Ji Chi'an together. After all, you have to taste the sweetness before you know how sour lemon tastes.
But before Lin Luo felt jealous, Ji Chi'an felt jealous first.
The next morning, as soon as the show was recorded and the two got in the car, Ji Chi'an, who had been pretending to be nothing, suddenly fell silent.
The cramped car compartment was filled with an "I'm not happy" feeling. Lin Luo shrank towards the window. She didn't know how she had offended this moody president again.
I secretly glanced at his cold profile and asked tentatively: "Boss Ji, are you too tired from recording the show?"
"No, it's easier than going to work." Ji Qian raised his hand casually, turned off the headphones, looked ahead, and asked casually: "What is your relationship with Ning Fei? Why do I feel that she is targeting you?"
"We were just high school classmates when I studied in the UK." Lin Luo's answer was very polite.
- I don't know why she is targeting me. I am so well-behaved. She keeps cueing me. What can I do? I am so embarrassed, sob, and she is so tall. I feel that I can't beat her in a fight. I dare not say anything.
Ji Qi'an listened to her thoughts and swallowed back the words that were on his lips. Others pretended to be pitiful on the surface, but they were calculating in their hearts. How could this person be serious on the surface, but pretend to be pitiful in his heart? And he was also trying to be cute? He didn't know how to sell it to him more, it was not like he couldn't afford it.
"Then what about the captain of the football team she kept talking about?"
"Oh, nothing, just a senior with whom I have a good relationship." Lin Luo's answer was still very polite.
——This is a scumbag, a beast, and a treacherous man!
Ji Chi'an frowned slightly: "Have you liked him?"
Lin Luo smiled and answered nonchalantly and ambiguously: "Little girl, how can you understand what like or dislike is."
The original body's memory could not help but keep surfacing in her mind. The original body liked Chu Ling, the most simple and direct kind of love that a young girl has, so much so that she wanted to marry Chu Ling.
If the original body wanted to marry Ji Chi'an because she was attracted by his money and power, then she wanted to marry Chu Ling because she was blinded by greed.
But no matter what, at that time, the two of them were talented and beautiful, and their family backgrounds were equal. Everyone thought it was too early for them to be together, but the original body suddenly left Britain and went to the United States.
People in the circle said that it was because Lin Luo didn't like Chu Ling, so when the Lin family collapsed later, they all thought she deserved it, otherwise it wouldn't have happened with the Chu family.
But only the parties involved know that Lin Luo was the one who was hurt.
Ji Chi'an frowned more and more when he read this memory, and his hands holding the steering wheel couldn't help but clench tighter and tighter.
He knew that she had never been in love, but he didn't know that she liked a boy before he showed up, simply and purely, so he was jealous and sour.
But what made him even more upset and unhappy was that the boy had hurt her. When Ji Chi'an thought about how the teenage Lin Luo had suffered such a great injustice and such deep hurt, he wanted to pick up that bastard and beat him up.
Little Lin Luo with twin ponytails was so cute, how could that person bear to do that?
Thinking of this, Ji Chi'an suddenly turned his head to look at her, then turned back and called her, "Lin Luo."
"What's the matter, President Ji?"
"Tie your hair into two ponytails when you are not at work in the future."
"..." Lin Luo's mouth twitched, and then she obediently untied her bun and tied two low ponytails with a rubber band, "President Ji, is this okay?"
Ji Chi'an looked at Lin Luo, who looked reluctant, from the rearview mirror, pursed his lips, and then said, "I want them high."
"......Okay, President Ji."
Lin Luo's mouth twitched again, and then she tied two high ponytails. As the car drove, the two little braids swayed, her eyes were sad, her mouth was pouting, and she looked like she was angry but dared not speak and endured humiliation.
Ji Qianan looked at her and tried not to laugh: "Yes, that's it." She
was so cute.
"+5"
"Hairstyles are external things. It's OK as long as President Ji likes it. And I think President Ji has a really good taste. This hairstyle makes me look a lot younger." After hearing the extra points, Lin Luo's expression had completely changed into a heroic look, but he still took the opportunity to flatter her. His face remained calm, but his heart was already surging.
- Mom! There's a pervert here! I reasonably suspect that he has a special fetish! The young girl is about to be killed!!! Mom! He even smiled obscenely!!! Woohoo, I don't want to stay with him. Sure enough, men with money and good looks have problems when they are single for a long time. They are full of problems.
Ji Qianan almost laughed at her: "It's mainly because your hairstyle makes me look smart."
Lin Luo was very angry. This person made such an excessive request and laughed at her. Just as she was about to retort, her cell phone rang. She looked at the screen and frowned: "Unknown number?"
"It may be a harassing call, trying to trick you into a naked loan."
"Oh, so scary." Lin Luo hung up directly.
As soon as she hung up, a text message came.
"Lin Luo, this is Chu Ling, I'm back and want to see you."
