"You make an old man like me so sad by doing this!"
Xia Xingchen closed his eyes and turned a deaf ear.
Yan Rui kept circling around Xia Xingchen, "Xingchen! You can't be so heartless to an old man like me!"
Hearing this, Xia Xingchen suddenly opened his eyes and stared at Yan Rui intently, "Then let me ask you, why did you announce that you had a disciple without my consent?"
Yan Rui was speechless for a moment, his face flushed red. "Who told you not to agree then? So... I had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure!"
Yan Rui and Xiao Xingchen's meeting was an accident. That year, Xia Xingchen was still young. The morning air in the countryside was very fresh, and her grandmother often accompanied her to the mountains to practice piano.
That day, Yan Rui who was passing by happened to hear Xiao Xingchen's piano playing. He thought that since he could play such beautiful piano music at such a young age, he would definitely be extraordinary when he grew up, so... he personally visited him and wanted to take Xiao Xingchen as his apprentice.
Xiao Xingchen refused to do anything.
Seeing that Xiao Xingchen was so resistant, grandma politely refused.
But Yan Rui didn't give up and continued to visit as usual. Finally, out of helplessness, grandma lied to him and said that Xiao Xingchen had been taken away by her parents...
Later, Yan Rui also inquired about Xia Xingchen's whereabouts, but to no avail. In order not to lose this good disciple, he had to announce to the public that he had accepted a new disciple.
Although the name was not mentioned, the words between the lines were all about Xia Xingchen.
Yan Rui knew that what he was doing was unreasonable, so he kept trying to make excuses for himself, "You little girl, it's really not easy to find you! If I hadn't co-organized this piano competition this year, I wouldn't have been able to find you!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Bing's eyes sparkled. He hurried over and patted Yan Rui's chest with his orchid finger. "So... Master Yan is holding this competition just for my little Xingxing! That's fantastic."
Yan Rui turned serious in an instant and stared at Chen Bing, "Who are you?"
As he said this, he wiped the place where Chen Bing had just hit him with his hand.
Chen Bing saw it, but he wasn't angry. He still introduced himself with a smile, "My name is Chen Bing, and I'm Xiao Xingxing's agent... I..."
"Okay, you can go now!" Before Chen Bing finished his introduction, Yan Rui ordered him to leave.
Chen Bing was embarrassed, and he quickly tried to save face. "You guys chat, you guys chat!"
"What do you want from me? You don't still want me to be your apprentice, do you?" Xia Xingchen asked coldly.
"Besides this, there is another reason." Yan Rui said mysteriously, looking mean and indecent.
Xia Xingchen frowned with a headache.
Yan Rui: "Then we'll do a song together!"
As he spoke, Yan Rui began to picture something in his mind, "The two of us, one soft and one hard, combining both strength and softness, the music we play will definitely be a top-notch divine song!"
"Okay, I promise!"
This time, Xia Xingchen readily agreed.
Yan Rui was overjoyed, "Really?"
I couldn't even believe my ears.
But the next second, he put away his excitement and anticipation, and said sarcastically, "You agreed so readily this time, you must have something to ask of me. Tell me, what is it?"
Xia Xingchen glanced at Li Li and called her over. Li Li walked to her side suspiciously.
Xia Xingchen said, "If you accept her as your apprentice and she reaches the advanced level, I will cooperate with you."
Her words surprised everyone.
Even Gong Bingye was puzzled!
Chen Bing couldn't understand Xia Xingchen's tricks, because he was the top pianist Master Yan!
Not only did she not want to be Master Yan's apprentice, but she also gave this opportunity to someone else? Not only did she give it to someone else, but she also gave Master Yan a difficult task in public?
If this gets out, Xia Xingchen will be in big trouble again!
Li Li didn't know that Xia Xingchen would praise her so much, but... this sudden joy made her a little overwhelmed, especially the three words "Master Yan", which made her feel breathless.
Her body felt a little weak and she almost couldn't stand.
Fortunately, Xia Xingchen grabbed her in time.
Li Li whispered, "Xingchen, I...I can't!"
Although she played the piano quite well, she was still a jack of all trades in front of Master Yan.
Xia Xingchen didn't say anything, but supported Li Li and helped her stand steadily.
Just now, when Yan Rui walked in, Xia Xingchen noticed that Li Li's eyes were shining. If she could get Master Yan's support, Li Li's piano skills would definitely improve very quickly.
Yan Rui looked Li Li up and down angrily. Seeing her frail body and pale face, he said dissatisfiedly: "Her? Can she play the piano?"
As he spoke, his eyes fell on Xia Xingchen, and he said angrily, "Xingchen, if you don't want to be my apprentice, don't just push someone on me."
Seeing that Yan Rui was really angry, Gong Bingye quickly came over to smooth things over, "Master Yan, don't be deceived by her appearance. She is Xinghai's student, and I am her teacher. She is very good at piano!"
Yan Rui looked at him being intimate with Xia Xingchen and asked casually, "What's your relationship?"
Gong Bingye put his arm around Xia Xingchen's shoulders and said proudly, "This is my wife."
Xia Xingchen rolled his eyes at him.
Yan Rui muttered, "The wife follows the husband's lead, no wonder he speaks in her favor."
At this time, Xia Xingchen said: "Master Yan, I recommended Li Li to you. Since you want to take me as your apprentice, you should trust my judgment!"
Seeing Gong Bingye and Xia Xingchen supporting her with all their strength, Li Li gritted her teeth and decided to fight for herself once. "Master Yan, I won't let you down."
Yan Rui glanced at Li Li, then at Xia Xingchen. After a long moment, he said with a serious expression, "Okay, for Xingchen's sake, I'll accept you as my disciple!"

Xia Xingkong was taken to the hospital by ambulance. The doctors gave her emergency treatment for nearly half the night before she barely woke up.
The doctor opened the door of the emergency room and said that Xia Xingkong's condition was very bad and he could die at any time... so Cui Jingshu should be mentally prepared.
Xia Xingkong was transferred to the hospital, and Cui Jingshu stayed with her every step of the way. She tossed and turned for the entire night and didn't even close her eyes.
The doctor's words scared her. She had just lost her mother and couldn't afford to lose her daughter.
She was afraid that Xia Xingkong really couldn't wake up, so she sat by the bed and talked to her.
I talked about this for two or three hours. I didn’t even feel dry mouthed. I just felt more disappointed and sad the more I talked!
However, she told herself not to cry. If Xia Xingkong woke up and saw her crying for the first time, he would be unhappy again.
Maybe it was God who was blessing her, or maybe it was Xia Xingkong who heard her speak.
Xia Xingkong, lying on the hospital bed, suddenly opened his eyes.
Seeing this, Cui Jingshu couldn't help crying with joy, "Baby, you're awake, you're finally awake."
Xia Xingkong sat up swiftly and looked around. "Where am I?"
"Hospital?" Xia Xingkong was suspicious, and her mind kept thinking about it. After a while, she remembered, "Oh, I remember. Last night, I was hit by a car on the way home, so you sent me to the hospital, right?"
