Because he only remembers a few songs, what if someone asks him to compose music again later?
Therefore, it's better to avoid such empty fame, lest one be praised too highly and then fall harder in the future.
Qiu Honglei couldn't help but sigh, "I used to read in books that some people's talents were truly divinely bestowed, but I didn't quite believe it until I met you, young master. Only then did I realize that there really are such people in the world."
Zuan: "..."
Stop flattering me; I really need to keep a low profile.
"By the way, the piece you played earlier was clearly filled with genuine emotion. Who exactly was that man?" Zu'an couldn't stand being praised all the time and quickly changed the subject.
"Young master, you can rest assured, it's just an artistic creation. Honglei has never had a love interest before, you... are the first." The shy look in Qiu Honglei's eyes when she spoke was enough to drive countless men crazy.
Zu An smiled. He thought it best to just listen to what these courtesans said. If he took it seriously, he would be the one who got hurt in the end, and they would laugh at him behind his back.
"Is that story a description of your parents' past?"
Bang!
With a crisp sound, Qiu Honglei accidentally dropped her wine glass on the table, and the smile on her face vanished.
After a long silence, she finally sighed, "Even if I say it's not true now, I'm afraid you won't believe me, young master."
"What exactly happened between them? Is your mother really dead?" Zu'an asked curiously. She had vaguely heard some things from Leng Shuangyue before, but she didn't know the details.
Qiu Honglei took a deep breath, her previous smile vanished, and her voice became colder than ever before: "I don't want to talk about their affairs."
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt a pang of regret; she realized she had probably offended him badly.
It's too kind of you to let all our efforts to lure him into this mess go to waste like this.
It's all my fault; I still can't let go of what happened back then.
To everyone's surprise, Zu'an laughed and said, "Miss, do you know that you look much more real and adorable now than before?"
Qiu Honglei's expression was complicated: "Young Master is really nothing like the person in the rumors."
Zuan extended his hand: "Let's get to know each other again. My name is Zuan, you can call me Azu."
Qiu Honglei was taken aback. Although she didn't know what kind of etiquette this was, she still subconsciously reached out her hand, and the two hands gently clasped together: "My name is Qiu Honglei. You can call me Honglei."
She was somewhat surprised that she had taken the initiative to have physical contact with a man. Perhaps it was his clear eyes just now, or perhaps it was the emotion she felt in that moment.
Just as the two were immersed in the tranquility of the moment, a commotion suddenly broke out outside.
Then came the woman's terrified screams and the man's wanton laughter.
Qiu Honglei frowned, knocked on the cabin wall, and asked the boatman outside, "What happened?"
"Miss, there are bandits... Ah!"
With a splash, he had clearly fallen into the water.
Immediately afterwards, the small boat rocked violently, as if several people had jumped onto it.
"This ship smells wonderful; there might be a beautiful woman inside."
"If there are women, who goes first?"
Let's go together!
Several lewd and obscene voices rang out.
