"Mom... it's delicious!" Hao'er held up a piece of dessert, walked around the screen, and ran into Zi Yan's arms like a pony, saying in a baby voice, "I'll give it to you to try."

Seeing his chubby little hands bringing the slightly deformed snack pieces to Zi Yan's mouth, his sensible and cute look made people couldn't help but smile.

Zi Yan took good care of him and educated him well.

After feeding her the snacks, he even put his crumb-stained finger into his mouth and sucked it, "Mom, is it delicious?"

"It's delicious." Zi Yan looked at him lovingly.

"Then take it back and let daddy have a taste too!" He let go of her hand, turned around and ran over there, full of action.

Because of a childish remark, the image of He Zhao and his family of three came to my mind, and my heart was slightly ached. If this were in an old sadistic novel, would I still go up to them and say, "I'm not here to break up this family, I'm here to join this family"?

I laughed at the random imagination in my head.

"Princess, don't mind it. The child has only met his father a few times since he grew up. Ru Mu Zhisi always thinks very well of his father." Zi Yan didn't look at me when she spoke.

I nodded without saying anything, not knowing what to say.

Strictly speaking, Hao'er is already an orphan. His biological parents have long passed away. Now those who call themselves his parents are just taking care of him out of gratitude. Although it is unfortunate, it is better than any other.

After chatting for a while, I was ready to say goodbye. I asked my people to pay the bill first and pack some more of Haoer's favorite snacks.

Wu Jiu was getting a little impatient waiting downstairs. When I went out with him, my damned super hearing still heard Miss Wang's question to Zi Yan not far behind me, "Sister Yue, is that princess the sweetheart of Uncle Zhao?"

"Did the General tell you that?"

"He didn't say, I guessed it myself."

Zi Yan chuckled and denied it, "It's not her, she just knows our general."

"Who is the person that Uncle Zhao likes?"

I had already sat in the carriage, trying hard to concentrate my mind and not let my ears hear the whispers so far away.

Wujiu was not curious and did not ask me who they were.

After the carriage arrived at its destination, we walked to the piano shop.

I followed Wujiu and watched him choose the zither.

Anyway, I was a layman and didn't know anything, so while he was talking to the boss, I just looked around randomly until I found a musical instrument that looked like a guitar on a shelf in the corner.

"This..." I was so shocked that I reached out and picked it up.

A waiter not far away hurried forward to greet him, "This is called the Weihuqin, which our boss bought from somewhere else a few years ago. I'm not bragging, but no one in Qi can play it."

The design is somewhat similar to a modern guitar, both with six strings, but the guitar case is much more rugged.

I tried to pluck it a few times and the sound was okay. As the guy looked at me in shock, I played a short piece of the song I was most familiar with.

In my previous life, I learned guitar for a few years when I was in school. Whenever there was an activity in school that required performances, I was forced to volunteer to participate. I started learning guitar because the person I liked at the time was also learning it, so I learned it in order to have more common topics with him.

As I learned more, I found that I liked guitar. Later, when I went out traveling with my friends, I would bring my own guitar with me, and it became my daily routine to perform for everyone while camping.

The place where I pressed the strings was not very comfortable, and I played a few notes wrong, so I stopped and put the tailpot guitar back on the stand.

The guy next to me was already standing there, staring at me, and had forgotten what he was going to say.

When I turned around, I saw Wu Jiu looking at me with a smile, "You play well. What kind of piano is that? I have never seen it before."

When I was hesitating about how to explain this to him, the waiter took two steps forward excitedly and said, "Dear guest, if you want this Weihuqin, please wait a moment. I will go find the owner right away!"

"Wait a minute! No need to look for it. I don't want to buy a piano." I waved my hand.

"If you like it, ask him to wrap it up and I'll give it to you." Wu Jiu said, looking like a domineering boss who doesn't care about the price at all.

I tugged at his sleeve and whispered to him, "This is a one-of-a-kind piece, it must be expensive, I don't need it, just pick your own things."

He didn't insist any longer, as the piano he had his eyes on had already been taken out.

After trying it for a while, everyone in the store stopped to watch.

Compared to the piano I just played, his playing was much more professional and sounded much better.

Suddenly the melody changed and he actually played the part I had just played.

I couldn't help but widen my eyes. This song was the theme song of a movie I liked. I had played it on repeat countless times, and then I found the guitar tab and practiced it for a long time...

When Wujiu finished playing and looked up at me, he was shocked by my appearance.

"Why are you crying?" he asked jokingly, "Is it because I played too badly?"

I quickly wiped my eyes with my sleeve and shook my head, "No."

When we got on the carriage for the return trip, I asked him, "Have you heard this song before?"

He explained, "It's the first time I heard you play."

"You have a really good sense of music!" I couldn't help but feel a little jealous of him, and then I started to have some greed, "Can you play all the songs you've heard?"

"I dare not say..." He moved his seat and sat next to me, "If you want to listen, I can try."

After saying that, he stroked my cheek with his fingers. "Why did you cry when you heard me playing in the music shop just now? Did this song remind you of some sad past?"

For the first time, I did not immediately avoid his intimate gesture, but looked at him calmly, "It just reminded me of my hometown that I can never return to..."

After he sent me back to the princess's mansion, he did not leave immediately. Instead, he placed his newly bought piano in the pavilion in the courtyard and said he wanted to play a song for me, but he had to let me sing the whole song for him first so that he could learn.

I hesitated for a moment, and finally sat down next to him and began to sing.

I have performed this foreign song in front of people several times. Those fragments of memories flashed before my eyes, as if I was watching someone else's story. It had nothing to do with me anymore, but the familiar melody in my mind seemed to be engraved on my soul, and as soon as I opened my mouth, they flew out by themselves.

I'm not bragging. Although I play the piano and sing at an amateur level, my voice and pitch are still very good, otherwise I wouldn't have been pushed to perform on stage. So when I saw the surprised look in Wu Jiu's eyes, I wasn't surprised.
