Chapter 39: Playing the Piano Di Ran followed his gaze and saw a gorgeous houseboat not far away. Sitting by the window was a man holding a rabbit. Ji Yunxie's gaze fell on the rabbit in his hand. The fat white ball stupidly grabbed the window railing with its claws, trying to escape from the man. Unexpectedly, just when it is about to fall and escape, its owner's hand always appears in time to pull it back. This happened every time. The fat white ball went from being anxious and angry to finally being dejected, with his ears drooping and lying there listlessly and pitifully. Ji Yunxie felt sorry for what was happening and frowned. Di Ran, who was standing by, had a darker face and a tight feeling in his chest. She raised her hand and turned Ji Yunxie's face towards her, her tone tinged with anger. "Don't look at that fat guy, only look at me!"
Ji Yunxie was stunned: "..." I don’t understand why Di Ran is crazy? Who is the fat guy? Ji Yunxie frowned, not knowing what was going on. At this time, Di Ran suddenly said: "Di Yi, get my zither." Di Yi, who was waiting outside the cabin, responded, "Yes." What are you doing with the piano? Ji Yunxie's eyes flickered with confusion: "You are..." Di Ran naturally wanted Ji Yunxie to focus his attention on her instead of staring at that fat guy! Of course, she wouldn't say that. She smiled at Ji Yunxie and said, "It's a rare opportunity for me to travel with you today. I'm in a good mood so I'll play a song to cheer you up." The emperor came over with the zither in his hands and placed it on the piano table. Di Ran sat upright on the stool and tested the tone with his slender fingers. He raised his eyes to look at Ji Yunxie, an idea suddenly occurred to him, and he curled his lips into a smile. "Di Yi, bring that jade flute to Master Ji." The emperor was stunned: "Yes." The flute, which was jade-colored and had a soft feel, fell into Ji Yunxie's hands. Ji Yunxie was slightly stunned: "What are you going to do..." Besides, how did she know he could play the flute? As if seeing his confusion, Di Ran smiled. "I'm playing the piano and I'm in need of an accompaniment. I wonder if Xiaojiu would be willing to play with me?" Ji Yunxie looked down at the jade flute in his hand. Although he knew everything about Di Ran, including the fact that he could play the flute, and felt complicated, he still did not refuse and nodded with a faint smile.
Di Ran had no idea of Ji Yunxie's complicated thoughts. When he saw that he agreed, he smiled gently. The white fingertips fell on the strings, and pleasant and melodious sounds were heard. His gentle gaze fell on Ji Yunxie, with hidden affection in his eyes. The red lips slightly opened: The falling flowers create clear ripples Unforgettable memories come to mind If I hadn't retreated from the world and practiced Buddhism, I would have spent my life in memories. I wish to follow you with the falling flowers …… A clear flute sound was then heard, the tone was high-pitched and melodious, pleasant to the ears, like the sound of nature. The melodious voice continued: The lonely stars reflected in the ice and snow Tears, laughter, sorrow, joy, separation and reunion are hard to seal away Love arises without knowing it and goes deep Deep love and death You are like a dream that leads my soul The young man is free and unrestrained and speaks freely about everything A broad mind and a chivalrous heart Stand up and shed blood You are so beautiful and dazzling I hold back my throbbing heartstrings Silently depicting your face I wish to be silent, speechless, without regrets or complaints Protect your smile May you be free from sorrow, pain and worries. As free as a teenager Hate him for the unpredictable changes in the world I hate that I can't do anything You turned into smoke and left without saying goodbye That night, the sky was full of stars and you smiled brightly Once reflected in my heart At that time, I was speechless. But made a vow Suddenly missed the time A love for the strings Spring comes and goes, waiting for you to appear …… Ji Yunxie held the jade flute and stared at Di Ran in a daze. Listening to the song and the pair of eyes looking at him with tenderness. I felt like I was falling into an ice cellar, and my heart went cold.
