Shao Mingwei knocked on the door of the study room. “Jingchun, I’m going in.” 

Qi Jingchun was slumped on the desk, battling with some geometric review questions, and when she saw Shao Mingwei, she dispiritedly greeted him, “Xiao Shao laoshi, these questions are killing me…”

Shao Mingwei put down his backpack. Hearing her words, he couldn’t help but smile. “Come on, let me take a look.”

There’s still two more days before Qi Jingchun’s final exam, so Shao Mingwei has sorted out the important topics from her second semester. He had also marked the learning key points he prepared before. He marked the topics that had a high probability of being on the exam papers, and also those difficult topics that are prone to errors. Unknowingly, the sun outside the window had gradually come down to the west horizon.

Qi Jingchun put the corrected homework aside, and suddenly said to Shao Mingwei, “Xiao Shao laoshi, you can help me in my make-up lesson next semester, ba.” 

Shao Mingwei glanced at her. “You don’t think I’ve given you too much homework, la?”

 

Qi Jingchun stuck out her tongue, then smiled ingratiatingly and said, “Not much, not much. No matter what, you’re much better. If you leave, my mother will look for a famous university teacher. They’re so long-winded that my ears have grown callouses.”

Shao Mingwei hummed and nodded. “Actually, my way of teaching is too simple and direct, that’s why it appears easier to understand.”

When Qi Jingchun heard it, she promptly denied. “Not at all, not at all. Your teaching is very good! Look at my previous exams, I’ve improved a lot, ne. How can other teachers be as good as you?”

 

Shao Mingwei shook his head, finding it amusing. “Let’s talk about it in the future. I’ll come next semester if I have spare time.”

Just right after he talked, there was a gentle sound of piano outside the door. Shao Mingwei listened to the sound spreading in the insides of the house. Somewhat puzzled, he asked, “Who’s playing the piano?”

“My uncle.” Qi Jingchun’s face remained natural, but when she saw Shao Mingwei’s eyes filled with surprise, she proudly said, “Did not expect it? My uncle was very good at playing the piano before, and has even achieved the highest grade performance. My mother said that my uncle almost became a professional pianist back then, but due to my grandfather’s poor health, he wanted my uncle to inherit the family’s property early. My uncle gave up piano and took over the business.”

Shao Mingwei was taken aback. “I’m sorry, I didn’t know.”

“It’s okay.” Qi Jingchun reminisced and said, “Actually, I didn’t remember much when my grandpa passed away, so I didn’t feel anything that much either… but my mom said to me that uncle had mourned for a long time that he did not touch the piano for two years, but now he’s slowly starting to play it again.”

Shao Mingwei: “Why?” 

“Probably because at that time, when my grandfather was sick, uncle was not aware of it. They had a big fight because uncle wanted to keep playing the piano. Grandpa was so stimulated that he fainted. When my uncle knew that grandpa was sick, he later compromised and took over the company. If you ask me, I would say that my grandpa’s illness has nothing to do with my uncle, but he always blames himself. ”

Shao Mingwei didn’t say anything, just quietly marking Qing Jingchun’s workbook. The gentle and affectionate sound of the piano filled the whole room. After a while he suddenly asked, “What’s this music called?” He did not know the name of the song that played just now. At most, he only knew the songs ‘Für Elise’, ‘Mariage D'amour’ and so on.

“A maiden's prayer, my uncle is fond of this song.” Qi Jingchun suddenly leaned close to Shao Mingwei’s face. “I think…” Before she finished speaking, she felt tangled and closed her mouth.

Shao Mingwei looked at her quizzically. “What’s the matter?” 

Qi Jingchun looked like she couldn’t hold it anymore, patted Shao Mingwei’s shoulder, then said somberly, “Xiao Shao laoshi, I’m telling you this because I have a trust in you that you won’t sell this in an entertainment newspaper.”

“…” Shao Mingwei lowered his head again and proceeded to correct her workbook. “Then I won’t listen.”

 

Qi Jingchun became anxious. “Wait, I will say it, I will say it.”

Shao Mingwei couldn’t help but smile while looking at her. 

As if telling a big secret, Qi Jingchun said in a low voice, “Recently, I think my uncle is in love.”

Shao Mingwei was stunned. “How can you tell?”

“These past two days, my uncle has been living in my house and from time to time, he would play ‘A maiden’s prayer’ looking like in a good mood. He likes this song very much, but he rarely plays it, let alone blushes when playing it. Moreover, I have never seen my uncle date anyone. He’d been working tirelessly, I suspect that his first love was in his company.” Qi Jingchun looked like a capable detective, analyzing information one after another. She pouted. “But when I asked him, he answered that he once had a relationship during college. That’s super rare. I don’t know who’s the lucky person that can possibly conquer someone as good as my uncle in the future.”

Shao Mingwei was feeling guilty in his heart. As Qi Jingchun speaks, his heart was like riding a roller coaster. After listening to her endlessly, he ran out of patience and knocked her head with his finger. “Gossip time is over, hurry up and study.” 

“Ah—” Qi Jingchun covered her forehead, scowling miserably. “I wasn’t smart in the first place and you still hit me!”

Shao Mingwei closed the door of the study room and carried his backpack on his shoulder. He was about to go down the stairs with his school bag but listening to the sound of the piano, his footsteps stopped, turning towards the direction the sound was coming from.

There is a black piano placed in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows. The afterglow of the sunset shines through the glass, spreading over the person sitting in front of the piano, coating him with a soft golden glow. Strings of beautiful notes were leaping on the keys, flowing under his thin and white fingers. The slightly drooping slender neck reminds Shao Mingwei of a peony flower.

Shao Mingwei stood behind him, listening quietly. 

After the song ended, Min Yu was silent. He turned around, although embarrassed, smiled softly at Shao Mingwei.

Shao Mingwei said, “It sounds good.”

Min Yu didn’t pretend to be modest, he only hesitated for a moment, and whispered softly, “If you want to listen again, I can play it for you.”

Shao Mingwei grabbed the shoulder strap of his backpack with one hand and did not say anything. 

Min Yu knew how to discern someone’s body language, so he asked, “Are you going back to school?”

Shao Mingwei nodded.

“Then I’ll send you off?” At this moment, facing Shao Mingwei, he didn’t show his maturity but was rather shy and timid and was asking expectantly.

Shao Mingwei seemed to have made up his mind and said, “Okay.” 

It was the black Volvo again. Shao Mingwei opened the door and sat inside. Instead of looking outside the window as he did that day, he sat quietly and looked in front. Min Yu glanced at him in the rearview mirror. He attempted to say something several times, but he could not open his mouth.

Arriving at Q, Min Yu stopped the car. After some time, he finally decided to say while blushing. “These past few days, I have been really busy.”

 

He was explaining why he didn’t contact Shao Mingwei in the past two weeks, but what relationship does he have with Shao Mingwei that he needs to know whether he is busy or not, or where he has been?

Shao Mingwei didn’t know what he was thinking about or why he said it, so he only said, “En”. 

Min Yu looked at his handsome profile and then remembered something. He was a little happy that he had someone he can dote on with his wealth. He took out a small box and said, “I bought you a watch, and I think it suits you very well. ”

Shao Mingwei’s pupils shrink. The brand logo on the box was clearly the brand that the other party paid for when he saw Min Yu in the mall that day.
