Chapter 172 Musical Talent vs. Guqin Inheritor 12
Shen Jingzhou got out of the car carrying a paper bag. The dark shadows of the night darkened his figure, giving him a sense of desolation as if he were meeting someone again after a long separation on the dark streets.
He walked around the front of the car, his baseball cap pulled down, the tips of his dark hair were pushed down by the brim of the hat, hiding his eyes, so that only Chun Nian could see them clearly.
Because Chun Nianren knew Ms. Chun Wenqin very well, he could guess that she must have looked for Shen Jingzhou before coming to see him tonight.
"I'm sorry to bother you, mom."
Shen Jingzhou first reached out and took the piano case from her hand, then looked into her eyes.
"It's okay, don't take it personally."
Chun Nianren didn't feel embarrassed or shy when facing Shen Jingzhou, but she had some complicated emotions.
It doesn't take much to guess what Chun Wenqin can say to Shen Jingzhou.
So when she heard him say that, she smiled, lowered her eyes, and ignored it.
"Why are you here? The concert in Haishi just ended two hours ago. You flew back in a hurry. Is there something important?"
Shen Jingzhou raised the hand holding the paper bag and waved it in front of her, as if to attract her attention.
The bulging paper bags are the packaging from the old dessert shops in Hai City.
He said: "Happy Teacher's Day."
Chun Nianren suddenly raised his eyes, an expression of surprise that he could not suppress.
She really didn't expect that Shen Jingzhou would fly back to Jingzhou immediately after the concert just to say Happy Teacher's Day to her.
Shen Jingzhou looked at her intently and shook the paper bag in his hand.
"Napoleon, I've tried several, and this one tastes the best."
Even if Shen Jingzhou didn't show it on his face, it would seem like he was just bringing back a souvenir for his friend after returning from a trip.
It is also undeniable that this kind of thought is rare.
Chun Nianren suddenly laughed, because his behavior really seemed like he was trying to coax an unhappy child.
Her rare smile was as faint as ever, like a ray of moonlight that had not disappeared in the dark night.
In the darkness of the night, Shen Jingzhou saw the light from the street lamps leaking through the leaves above his head, dripping into her clear and bright eyes, and his heart softened.
"It's not convenient here, why don't you get in the car and try it? It's late, I'll take you home."
Chun Nianren then looked around carefully and found that there was a park next to him and closed shops opposite. It was the middle of the night and there were few people around, so he nodded and agreed.
Get in the car and open the paper bag.
There are eight Napoleon cakes neatly arranged inside, each layer is crispy, soft and sweet, very tempting.
Judging from what he just said, he went there specially to buy it?
Chun Nianren turned around and looked at him curiously.
"How do you know I like this?"
Shen Jingzhou started the car, turned to look at her with a flawless expression, and spoke as usual.
"Qu Xinyue mentioned it."
Raise an army for a thousand days and use it for a while.
Chun Nianren didn't say anything in his heart, but nodded with understanding on his face, and looked back into the paper bag.
I have to admit that the Napoleon that Shen Jingzhou carefully selected is very good, and the crispy and fragrant taste is visibly tempting.
The corners of Shen Jingzhou's lips curved slightly.
Chunnian recalled the life he had lived in Hai City during those years, shunting back and forth between home and school, with a car to pick him up and drop him off.
The relationship between classmates is not close, and the few friends she has are not close to her because of her identity.
After all, we were all young at that time and didn't need to pretend. In a place like Haishi, every child is the treasure of the family.
My parents told me every day not to offend her, and over time, I became distant from them.
Buying a dessert from a street dessert shop on the way home has become her favorite and habit.
After she came to Jingzhou, she missed this taste for a while and asked someone to send it to her, but the dessert shop she used to patronize had closed down long ago.
Chunnianren said that eating on the bus is inconvenient and impolite.
It was so late and there was nowhere to go, and Shen Jingzhou couldn't be seen by anyone, otherwise there would be an overwhelming amount of public opinion.
So she looked at Shen Jingzhou, hesitantly, and after a while, she took the initiative to propose.
"Come to my house and sit for a while. If you don't help me eat, I won't be able to finish it. If I put it in the refrigerator, the taste will go bad."
Shen Jingzhou held the steering wheel, looking straight ahead, a barely perceptible smile flashing across the depths of his dark pupils.
During this period, the relationship between the two has indeed become much closer.
Of course, he didn't agree immediately, but asked politely: "Is it convenient?"
Shen Jingzhou's thoughts were obvious.
His gaze, his behavior, and his initiative every time he appears.
It may seem polite and reserved, but it’s actually…crossing the line of not being offensive.
What's more, between adults, taking the initiative itself is a straightforward expression of emotion.
Chun Nianren admitted that she had been a little indulgent in the development of her relationship with Shen Jingzhou, even though their interactions during this period had not been ambiguous or inappropriate.
She was not the kind of person who would give up completely or go against Chun Wenqin.
Rather, the feeling of getting along with Shen Jingzhou is quite special.
It has always been special.
She spoke, her voice soft but clear.
"convenient."
"Well... sorry to bother you, Mr. Haru."
Shen Jingzhou's pleasant voice had a non-offensive joking tone.
His address made Chun Nianren laugh as well.
The Napoleon cake that I brought back to Jingzhou specially from Haishi is a thoughtful gift.
The joke was that I knew she was meeting Chun Wenqin tonight, so I was trying every way to make her happy.
The Zhongyin family building was built several decades ago, and the exterior walls look a bit old, but the building was completely renovated a few years ago and is not shabby at all.
Chun Nianren took out the key to open the door, and after entering, he raised his hand to turn on the light.
The bright lights came on, and everything in the room appeared in front of Shen Jingzhou who was following behind her.
There was a bunch of wilted white double-petaled gentian in the vase on the dining table. On the right was the open kitchen and on the left was the living room. There was no TV but there was a projector installed. The blanket on the low sofa was half dragged on the floor.
Everywhere reveals the traces that she lives alone.
It's not what outsiders think.
——Chun Nian people should live a refined or luxurious life.
Everything in the room shrank infinitely, turning into a microcosm of Shen Jingzhou's deep eyes.
What came to his mind was Chun Nianren's expression.
This expression will often appear on her face in the future.
No emotions, just a sense of weariness about everything.
Or rather, loneliness.
Chun Nianren put the things on the table and saw that he was still standing at the door, so he said to him, "Just come in."
Shen Jingzhou came back to his senses and put her piano case away after entering the room.
In the vase next to it are withering gentian flowers.
He thought that she must be very busy during this period.
Chun Nianren poured him a cup of warm water from the water dispenser, turned around and saw Shen Jingzhou taking off his baseball cap and putting it aside. He raised his hand and brushed his hair back, revealing his superior and clear eyebrows.
When he looked, the hair no longer covered his eyebrows and eyes, and his handsome face was pleasing to the eye and shining under the light.
