422 the angry shi yan
after the meal, yun jian left first. jiang che and yuxi were discussing business in the house. shi yan sat and listened for a while. she felt bored and went out first.
He sat in the courtyard.
It was dinnertime, so there were many guests in the Jade eatery. The sound of a zither came from the pavilion in front.
someone came to serve shi yan tea and saw her looking up at the pavilion in front of her. he couldn’t help but ask,”miss shi yan, are you listening to the zither?”
Shi Yan thanked him and took the tea, nodding.
The person who served the tea was a girl in her twenties. She was considered a manager in the Jade eatery. In the past, when Jiang che brought Shi Yan to the Jade eatery, she was the one who received her, except for the manager of the Jade eatery. Shi Yan remembered that her name was Hu Yu and she was a well-mannered and sensible person.
seeing that shi yan was indeed listening to the zither, hu yu said, ” the zither yer of the Jade eatery is a very powerful person. She’s only 25 years old but she’s already very good at ying the zither. Many of the customers of the Jade eaterye for her, and many of them are experts in music.
“She has been a zither yer in our Jade eatery for five years. Back then, it was the fifth Lord who personally invited her to be a zither yer in the Jade eatery. It can be seen that she has a high attainment in music.”
it was a zither yer that jiang che had personally invited. no wonder he yed the zither so well.
“the zither yer indeed ys the zither very well.” shi yan said sincerely.
hu yu wasn’t a person who liked to smile. he was even a little serious. seeing that shi yan seemed to really like the zither yer’s music, and knowing that shi yan was someone highly valued by lord fifth, he couldn’t help but show a faint smile when he saw that she had something she liked in the jade food house.
“This ce is far away and not the best ce to listen to the zither. If miss Shi Yan wants, I can arrange a Pavilion for you near the zither room where the zither yer is.”
“no, it’s fine here. thank you.”
hu yu only made a suggestion. seeing shi yan refuse, he didn’t insist.”alright, i won’t disturb you any longer. call me if you need anything.”
after hu yu left, shi yan was left alone in the courtyard.
she leaned against the back of the chair and sipped her tea. the surrounding environment was quiet, apanied by the garden full of lotus flowers and the sound of the zither from the pavilion, which had a different vor.
At the end of the song, her cup of tea was already half-filled.
he turned around and looked at the half-open door not far away. jiang che and yu xi were still talking about business inside.
she didn’t get up to disturb him. instead, she poured herself a cup of tea and continued to listen to the next song. however, when the zither started ying again, her hand holding the teacup suddenly stopped.
This song
Although she wasn’t a musical genius, she had some attainments in the zither. She could still distinguish the basic pieces.
she had heard jiang che y this song before, when they were filming a short film of jiang che ying the piano and her dancing.
the jade eatery was jiang che’s ce. logically speaking, it wasn’t strange for jiang che to have yed a tune yed by a zither yer before. however, she felt that the tune jiang che yed that day was very nice.ter on, she asked jiang che where he learned the tune and if he could find time to teach her.
of course, it was just an excuse for her to ask him to teach her. in fact, she could learn it after listening to it once. She only wanted to take the opportunity to spend more time with Jiang che.
naturally, jiang che agreed readily. he was even more interested than her. when she asked him to teach her, he almost put it into action immediately. it was only when she said that she was busy with her studies recently and that she would talk about it after the holidays that he gave up.
it was also at that time that she found out that jiang che hadposed the song on a whim. moreover, ording to jiang che, he had never yed it in front of anyone except on the day of the short film.
how could a zither yer of the jade restaurant know how to y a song that had never been yed in front of others? Could it be that Jiang che had given the music score to the zither yer?
this did not make sense.
ording to jiang che, this song seemed more like it was exclusive to her. there were many people on set, but he only had eyes for her. the others only had the good fortune to hear him y it personally because of her.
it was clear that this song was special to jiang che.
With Jiang Che’s personality, he felt that he would never give something special away, even if it was to a zither yer from his restaurant.
“miss shi, what are you thinking about?”
Shi Yan’s thoughts returned and she looked over.
jiang che was walking towards her.
“What are you thinking about? i called you several times, but you didn’t hear me. ”
Seeing that Shi Yan was staring at him without saying a word, Jiang Che’s footsteps paused for a moment before he quickened his pace and walked towards her. he walked up to her, took the teacup from her hand, and ced it on the wooden table. he held her hand with one hand and gently pinched her fingertips with the other.”what’s wrong?”
When Jiang che spoke, Shi Yan’s thoughts returned. This song had already ended, and the sound of the zither was another song.
I’m sitting here and listening to the zither. The zither master of Jade Restaurant is quite good, so I’m fascinated by it.
“Fascinated by the zither?”
jiang che stared at her for a few seconds, then suddenly lowered his head and bit her lips.
It wasn’t a kiss, it was just a bite.
he didn’t use too much force, but it still hurt a little.
“Miss Shi, what zither tune is so melodious that you’re so entranced that you didn’t even hear me call you a few times?” his voice was as clear and warm as ever, but it was filled with dissatisfaction and usation.
“has third young master yu left?”
shi yan didn’t respond to him, nor did she re at him as she usually did. the smile on her face was very faint, and it was obvious that she didn’t want to continue this topic. jiang che suddenly stopped joking and held her hand tightly, staring at her face for a moment.
“Ran ran just left.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he did not let go of her hand. He ced his other hand on the back of the chair and leaned closer to trap her between him and the chair.
He didn’t waste any words and just kissed her directly.
he was ruthless and eager.
shi yan just sat on the chair, neither pandering nor avoiding her.
Jiang Che’s kiss became even more urgent, and there was a faint sense of panic.
she still didn’t respond. in the past, when they were intimate, she would take the initiative to hug him to respond to his enthusiasm, but this time, she didn’t even raise her hand and just ced it on her knee.
Jiang che suddenly lost his breath and slowly released her lips.
But he did not let go of her.
He hugged her and rested his chin on her shoulder, burying his face in her neck. “Miss Shi, everything was fine just now. How did it be like this in less than half an hour? Are you ming me for ignoring you while I was busy talking?”
“If that’s the case, I’ll bring you along with me next time, okay? even if you feel bored and want to leave, i will not let you go. If you’re not, can you tell me what happened just now?”
“You can do whatever you want, but don’t be so cold to me. miss shi, you know i can’t take it. ”
This was the first time Shi Yan had seen the gentle, steady, introverted, and always confident fifth master Jiang lose his cool.
She wasn’t an irrational person and had absolute trust in Jiang che. However, as soon as she thought of the song that Jiang che hadposed himself, and it was a song that was considered special to Jiang che, she was a little angry.
Yes, angry.
It wasn’t that she was ufortable, she was just angry.
She couldn’t control her emotions. She didn’t know when she, who had always been rational and calm, had be so petty that she would get angry over such a small matter.
