Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 636 - 635: Tragic Melody (Part 2)

As Ah Xiang just stepped through the door, the zither abruptly stopped with a "zheng" sound.

Qian Liuyun slightly lifted his eyes. Upon seeing Shen Qinglan and Luo Lingshu following behind Ah Xiang, a momentary surprise flashed through his gaze, but only for an instant, before he returned to his usual self.

He rose and walked around the zither stand, standing before Shen Qinglan, he bowed with a slight nod and said in a calm voice, "I’ve met Miss Shen and Miss Luo."

Shen Qinglan nodded slightly, "Let’s sit and talk."

Initially stunned upon seeing Qian Liuyun’s true appearance, Luo Lingshu was somewhat surprised when she heard him greeting her, "Young Master Qian, do you know me?"

Qian Liuyun replied, "We have not met, but I have met the second son of the Luo family. You bear some resemblance to him, so I ventured a guess."

"I see!" Luo Lingshu kept her eyes fixed on his composed and handsome face, silently admiring him.

No wonder her friend became infatuated when talking about Qian Liuyun after coming back. Just this face alone is enough to cause love at first sight.

Fortunately, her heart was already occupied by another, otherwise, she might have fallen for him too.

"Where is Lian’er?" Shen Qinglan asked after sitting down.

Qian Liuyun said, "Miss Lian’er has gone to fetch the zither and will be here shortly."

Ah Xiang brought over a teapot still steaming lightly and poured tea for the three of them before stepping aside to listen to them speak silently.

Luo Lingshu said, "When I just came in, I heard Young Master Qian playing a tune. My cousin-in-law told me the tune is called ’Painting Emotions’. Pardon my asking, is there a lyric to it?"

Qian Liuyun glanced at Shen Qinglan and replied softly, "There are indeed lyrics."

"May I have a look at them?" Luo Lingshu asked again.

Qian Liuyun handed her a piece of paper, "The lyrics are here, Miss Luo, please!" 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Luo Lingshu smiled and thanked him, then took it and started to read attentively. After reading, she seemed to resonate with the lyrics and was completely captivated.

"Who wrote these lyrics?" Luo Lingshu asked, "They are wonderfully written!"

Qian Liuyun instinctively looked at Shen Qinglan, but she only gave a faint smile.

This was one of the many pieces she loved in her past life, once looping it several times upon first hearing.

Qian Liuyun said softly, "It doesn’t matter who wrote it. After all, it’s a great tune."

Seeing that he was unwilling to say, Luo Lingshu didn’t press further and returned the paper with the lyrics to him.

They exchanged a few more words before seeing another person enter with a zither.

"Ladies, Miss Luo, you’ve arrived!"

The newcomer was Lian’er, who approached with the zither and gave a courteous bow to the two ladies.

Shen Qinglan nodded slightly, indicating for her to sit down.

Just as Lian’er settled beside Qian Liuyun, she heard Luo Lingshu ask, "Are you practicing the zither?"

"We are practicing the piece we’re going to perform at the Lantern Festival," Lian’er said, "It’s the day after tomorrow, so we must solidify our skills promptly."

"Playing this piece at the Lantern Festival?" Luo Lingshu furrowed her brow, "Wouldn’t it be too melancholy?"

Lian’er glanced at her, puzzled, only to hear her say, "’Painting Emotions’, huh."

"No, this piece..."

Lian’er glanced at Qian Liuyun and said with a smile, "I haven’t learned it yet."

"Oh, then what piece will you be playing at the Lantern Festival?" Luo Lingshu asked.

"If I tell you, it won’t be a surprise," Lian’er smiled, her voice gentle, "Miss Luo can look forward to it."

Luo Lingshu, hearing this, felt a little disappointed but still smiled, "Alright then, I’ll listen when the time comes."

Lian’er lowered her head, smiling slightly.
