Mr. Lin is crazy about his cute wife
Chapter 5 His Musical Dream and Her First Kiss
Xier was exhausted, her eyes were a little swollen, and her body ached. She lay there until almost noon, then took a shower, changed her clothes, and went downstairs to have breakfast.
In the living room, Grandma Lin and Grandma Li (Xier’s biological grandmother) were chatting.
Seeing Xi'er coming downstairs at this time, Grandma Li said, "It's so late, getting up just now, living with the elders, this is not polite."
Grandma Lin smiled at Xier and said, "In your own home, you can get up at any time. What kind of rule do you have that doesn't allow people to sleep?"
Grandpa Lin and Grandpa Li are good brothers, and the two grandmas are also best friends. They have a close relationship and speak casually.
Grandma Li looked at Xier. Her skin was white and rosy, exuding a sense of charm. Her long straight hair was draped over her shoulders, and she looked like a young daughter-in-law. She must have slept late, so she said nothing more.
"When we were young and lived with my parents-in-law, we had to get up in the morning to greet them and offer them tea. If we dared to get up later than our elders, we would be in big trouble."
"Our time is old-fashioned now. Young people nowadays don't need to be like that. They just want to be free. They shouldn't be bound by constraints like us." Grandma Lin looked at Xier and said, "Xier, go eat quickly. I asked Aunt He to make you your favorite wontons. You can eat them right after cooking."
"Thank you, grandma." Xier's voice was still a little hoarse, and she went to the dining room.
Living in an old house, she never went downstairs so late. Her upbringing and manners did not allow it. She also paid great attention to these details. She got up late yesterday because she was really tired.
"Why does Xier look unhappy?" Grandma Lin looked at Grandma Li.
"Why didn't you go to work today?" Grandma Li looked at Grandma Lin.
"Oh, they had a fight," the grandmothers said in unison.
As they were talking, Grandma Lin called Lin Yitong and asked him to come back to the old house for lunch, saying that there was a performance in the evening and he had to accompany her.
This time, Lin Yitong was obedient and agreed readily.
There was indeed a performance in the evening: the San Francisco Dance Company’s first ballet performance in Beijing, “La Traviata”.
The leading actress is the mainstay of the troupe, Miss Yuan, who is Chinese and has a very high status in the ballet world. She has been dancing for nearly forty years and is retiring this time. Tickets for her performances are hard to come by, and for the first show, tickets were not available even if you had money.
Grandma Lin met her many years ago, and this time she gave her tickets and invited Grandma Lin to watch the show.
Xier ate some wontons and was about to go upstairs to catch up on some sleep.
Grandma Li called her and said, "Xi'er, we are going to watch the ballet together tonight. You should prepare your makeup. Oh, by the way, you are doing your makeup downstairs. Take down your makeup and help the grandmas touch up their makeup."
The two grandmothers are open-minded, have very fashionable lifestyles, are well-maintained, and love to be lively.
The grandmothers went to their rooms to choose clothes for the evening. Everyone loves beauty.
Xier obeyed. Holding her makeup bag, she sat cross-legged on the sofa in the living room and began to put on makeup. Her long hair was draped over her shoulders, her skin was white, tender and smooth, revealing the innocence of a girl and the charm of a woman.
Lin Yitong was standing in the hallway, looking at this scene, and suddenly felt that Xier looked very beautiful and pleasing to the eye when she was putting on makeup.
He walked over and sat down next to Xier, looking at Xier.
Xier was rummaging through her makeup bag, looking for foundation. She didn't look at him, nor did she pay any attention to him, but the scent of ebony invaded her nose. It smelled so good and addictive.
"Is it still swollen? The ointment is on the bedside table. Have you applied it?"
"Yeah." Xier was rummaging through the makeup bag without stopping or looking at Lin Yitong.
"Your eyes are still a little swollen. You've been crying for too long." Lin Yitong reached out and touched Li Xier's eyes.
"Don't touch me, stop being so hypocritical." Xier slapped away his outstretched hand.
"Mrs. Lin, how did I offend you today?" Lin Yitong smiled, sunny and charming.
"I've offended you in every way, Lin Yitong. From now on, you are you and I am me. Let's not have any contact with each other." Xier looked up at him and glared at him angrily, looking fierce.
"Who doesn't want to visit? Yitang is back." Grandma Li came over, with Grandma Lin behind her.
"Grandma, you're here." Lin Yitong stood up and said politely.
"Your grandma said we would watch ballet together in the evening, and she picked me up in the morning." Grandma Li smiled.
If it were a normal day, Xier would definitely tease her grandmother, "We just live next door, but you took us over." However, considering the large area of the house, living next door is not too close. Today, she didn't want to talk. Yesterday, she had a quarrel with Lin Yitang but it didn't work. Later, she was bullied and had no power to fight back. She felt aggrieved and her face was no longer as lively as usual.
Grandma Lin pointed in the direction of the restaurant and said, "Let's have lunch and then get ready. We need to arrive a little early today. I want to go to the lounge and talk to Miss Yuan. I'm retiring so soon."
"Has the ordered flower basket been delivered?" Grandma Lin said with elegance and grace.
The maid Aunt Yue replied, "It has been delivered."
Lin Yitong was in a good mood today, and was more patient than usual. He took good care of Xier, and followed Xier with a humble attitude. Even when Xier didn't treat him well, he was still happy.
Xier just thought that he had the upper hand yesterday and was now showing off to her by her side, so she ignored him.
This was also the first time that Xier had shown a cold face to Lin Yitong since she was born.
Lin Yitang thought that the angry Xier was quite cute and couldn't help but want to tease her.
In the evening, they arrived at the Grand Theater. The audience had not yet entered. Grandma Lin took Grandma Li to the lounge to meet Miss Yuan, and Xier and Lin Yitong accompanied them.
The Grand Theater is located in the suburbs. It is a top-level art center in the city. It has a dome, Chinese style, and is gorgeous and elegant.
"Xier, when she was little, I wanted her to learn ballet because it was so beautiful. But she started crying as soon as she saw the ballet shoes. Later she could only learn modern dance." Grandma Li said with a little regret.
"Learning ballet is too hard, we can't bear to let her go. Our Xier is responsible for being beautiful and doesn't have to work so hard." Grandma Lin looked at Xier lovingly.
Xier has been learning music, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was young. Body etiquette is the most basic training, and she has also learned dance and piano for several years.
At that time, she loved learning dance because of Lin Yitong, but she never said it, and only her best friend Tang Tang knew about it.
It was an autumn afternoon when Li Xier was in junior high school.
Early autumn in Beijing is hot and humid, and the autumn heat is fierce.
Li Xier is wearing a school uniform and a high ponytail, looking youthful and energetic.
She was getting ready to go to the dance studio for class. She hated dance class the most because it was so tiring and her sense of rhythm was not very good. Why did she have to take dance class every afternoon?
She walked slowly and passed by the music classroom next door. She heard beautiful piano music coming from it. It was Jay Chou's "Rice Fragrance".
Xier couldn't help but look inside through the window. It turned out to be the brother Yitang whom she had a crush on. Lin Yitang was wearing a high school uniform and sitting at the piano playing. This is what a Prince Charming looks like.
Li Xier was very nervous. She had never known that Lin Yitong could play the piano. In her impression, he always looked like a pedant. This was the first time she had seen someone like this artistic young man.
Li Xier and Lin Yitong attend the same key middle school, Xier is in the first grade of junior high school and Lin Yitong is in the third grade of senior high school.
The music classrooms, dance classrooms, practice rooms, piano rooms, and art studios for the high school and junior high school departments of the school are all located in the same teaching building, called the "Student Activity Center." This place is provided for art students to use and is usually not crowded.
Li Xier thought happily that this was probably the best thing that had happened since she entered junior high school. She could come here to see him in the future. Although he would graduate soon, it would be nice to still have some time to see him.
The study in the third year of high school is very heavy, but Lin Yitang would come to play the piano in the last class every afternoon. In this way, Xier was full of motivation to come to the dance studio every day. The reason was simple: when passing by the piano room, she could sneak a peek at Brother Yitang.
Li Xier has been Lin Yitong's follower since childhood, but Lin Yitong stopped playing with Xier when he was in fifth or sixth grade. Boys of that age disdain to coax a girl who is much younger than themselves. They played boys' games and were slowly growing into big boys while playing.
Therefore, Xier could only keep her love and secret crush in her heart. When she occasionally visited the Lin family, Brother Yitang would not pay much attention to her, let alone play with her.
Li Xier could only occasionally hear news about him from adults, and she remembered every word about him in her heart.
The weather was getting colder. On the 35th day that Li Xier had been secretly listening to Lin Yitong playing the piano, Li Xier saw the school belle Gao Liying in the piano room. Gao Liying was a repeater and had to repeat the grade and take the exam again because of her poor grades.
Gao Liying is a school belle who loves socializing. Although she is a repeater, she still charms all the younger students and is a celebrity in the school. She is also very confident and enjoys the feeling of being pursued by the younger students.
Lin Yitong sat on the piano stool, looking at Gao Liying standing next to the piano, with a smile in his eyes.
Gao Liying is a very charming and beautiful woman with long black hair, which gives her a charm beyond her age.
The two talked and laughed for a while, then Gao Liying walked out of the piano room and Lin Yitong continued to play the piano.
This was the first time that Xier saw Lin Yitang looking at a girl so tenderly. It was also the first time that she saw Lin Yitang being so doting on a girl. It was also the first time that she knew the pain of a broken heart.
After school that day, Grandma Li took Xier to the Lin family's old house for a gathering.
Li Xier hadn't been to the Lin family for a long time. Because of the scene in the school piano room during the day, Li Xier felt that Lin Yitang was so far away when she saw him. Her brother Yitang had never smiled gently at her, and Li Xier was a little depressed.
After the meal, Lin Yitong returned to his study to review his homework.
The elders were chatting in the living room. Grandma Lin mentioned that Lin Yitong wanted to study music in college. Grandma Lin strongly opposed it and even moved the piano out of the house to stop him from pursuing this dream.
Lin Yitong argued with his grandmother to no avail, so he had no choice but to give in and agree to give up his musical dream.
"His father and mother are already painters, and he is the only heir to the Lin family. He must be in charge of the Lin family's business. This is his responsibility. Letting him study music and engage in art like his parents will make him irresponsible to the family? He cannot study music and must support the Lin family. I have become the bad guy." Grandma Lin's tone was helpless but firm.
Grandma Li nodded helplessly. "Although families like us have no worries about food and clothing, we have too many responsibilities on our shoulders. It is even more difficult for an only son."
Xier sat next to Grandma Lin. Grandma Lin looked at Xier lovingly, holding her hand and patting the back of her hand lovingly. "Our little Xier is the treasure of our two families. In the future, Yitang will protect you. Little Xier can do whatever she wants."
Li Xier leaned against Grandma Lin and smiled.
From that day on, Li Xier loved her brother Yitang more and felt sorry for him.
Li Xier still went to the piano room to peek at Lin Yitang every day, but she would go there early every day and quietly put a cute little paper box on the piano. Inside was an apple and a card. She wrote a word of encouragement every day in beautiful handwriting. Although she couldn't help him, she always hoped to do something for him and cheer him up. In this way, Xier secretly came to cheer him up every day until Lin Yitang was about to take the college entrance examination and stopped playing the piano.
Shortly after the college entrance examination, Lin Yitang and Gao Liying began to date each other.
Lin Yitang had two girlfriends in high school. Gao Liying was his third girlfriend and the one he dated the longest. Although Lin Yitang was studying at a university in Germany and Gao Liying was in China, the two had a very good relationship.
Lin Yitong was in love with Gao Liying throughout Li Xier's junior high school years. It was not until Xier became an adult and got engaged to Lin Yitong that Lin Yitong's relationship with Gao Liying ended, or perhaps it never really ended.
In the Grand Theater, Miss Yuan's first farewell performance was packed with guests, and wealthy wives rushed to watch. No matter whether they could understand this high art or not, as long as they had a ticket and sat in, they showed their status.
