After the separation, the family had a lot of fish and meat every day, and the best was furious

Qu Yuanxun subconsciously wanted to support Lin Lin, but after extending his hand, he retracted it. In his hand, he was holding a brand new music score.

"Lin Lin, outside, you don't actually have to call me Master Qu. We are friends now, aren't we?"

Lin Lin smiled and nodded. She was used to calling Qu Yuanxun "Master Qu" and couldn't change it all of a sudden.

"Master Qu, you came to see me, is there something wrong?"

The county government office was very close to her courtyard, with only a few courtyards between them. It was also very convenient for her to go and play with Old Madam Qu.

"I……"

Qu Yuanxun raised the music score in his hand and spoke a little nervously.

"Here, this is for you. It contains relatively simple sheet music and a tutorial on how to learn piano."

Lin Lin took the book he handed to her with both hands and casually flipped through the contents.

Apart from anything else, just the flowing calligraphy, skillful brushwork and rich ink rhythm make you know at a glance how much care the person who wrote this book put in.

"This book is new. Did you buy it, Master Qu?"

Lin Lin took a look at it, opened it and smelled the lingering scent of ink in the book.

Qu Yuanxun took a deep breath and the corners of his mouth twitched. He had written this book word by word, laying down the best foundation for piano practice. It was the only copy in the world.

"Yes! I bought it."

As long as Lin Lin likes it, then she can buy it.

"I need a book like this right now, Mr. Qu, thank you."

Qu Yuanxun scratched his head, secretly happy, but he actually didn't know why he was so happy.

The original intention of giving this music score to Lin Lin was just to thank her for helping me.

"Lin Lin, if you want to learn the piano, it's hard to achieve success by self-study. If you have any questions, you can ask me. My piano skills are pretty good."

Lin Lin's eyes lit up. She just didn't understand something and was planning to find someone to ask when she had time.

If Qu Yuanxun also knows it, then it would be a waste not to learn from the teacher who comes to his door.

"Then I won't be polite to Master Qu. Let's go in first."

Lin Lin opened the door of the courtyard and invited Qu Yuanxun in.

After returning to the small courtyard, she looked down at the music score in her hand and came back to her senses. How did Qu Yuanxun know that she needed this?

I also know that she is learning to play the piano recently.

"Wait a minute, how did Master Qu know that I was learning to play the piano?"

Qu Yuanxun spoke frankly, "Last time when I came to ask you for help, I overheard you playing a few times. Thinking you were ready to learn, I found a sheet music for you.

At the back of this music book, there are some simpler piano scores, which are just right for you at this stage."

"Oh!"

Lin Lin didn't feel embarrassed. It was normal that she couldn't play well since she had just started learning.

Lin Lin asked Qu Yuanxun to sit in the yard, poured him a glass of water, and turned to go to the room to take out the piano she bought.

"Master Qu, please give me your guidance."

"You're welcome. First, play what you know and explain the music you understand. I want to see what your current level is."

Lin Lin talked about what she had learned on her own while plucking the strings of the zither.

Qu Yuanxun listened attentively and soon discovered that there was something wrong with Lin Lin's piano. The tone was not accurate.

"Wait a minute, that's off-key."

As he said this, he took the piano from Lin Lin, bent down to help her tune it with one hand and plucked the strings with the other.

Lin Lin looked at his serious expression and admired him. He didn't even notice that the piano was out of tune.

Moreover, the way Qu Yuanxun carefully repaired the piano was less official and more gentle.

With clear features and deep and sharp eyes, he always exudes a unique charm that makes Lin Lin subconsciously stunned.

After tuning the piano, he played a piece of music called "High Mountains and Flowing Water", the lingering sound of which lingered in the air for a long time.

Listening to the music, Lin Lin closed her eyes and felt his mood.

"Tense, eager, brilliant..."

There was a sound of "clang". Before Lin Lin finished speaking, Qu Yuanxun's fingers slipped and the tone was wrong.

Lin Lin opened her eyes and looked at him. These were just her own understandings of the piano music. Was he suddenly nervous and distracted?

"Sorry, I haven't played for a long time. I'm not very good at it."

Qu Yuanxun was a little flustered. He didn't expect that Lin Lin, who had just started playing the piano, could understand his mood from the sound of the piano.

Moreover, he himself didn't know why he had that feeling just now, or was he really in love with Lin Lin?

This kind of love is different from the one he had with his late wife. He and his late wife were childhood sweethearts, and he believed that the feeling they had since childhood was the real love.

But why is he treating Lin Lin like this now?

Could it be that what Ye Xiaoman said was right?

But he knew everything about Lin Lin and had seen her at her most miserable. Logically speaking, it was impossible for him to fall in love with Lin Lin like this.

"It's okay, Master Qu. Even if you're not very good at it, you can still play better than me."

That night, Qu Yuanxun's heartbeat was much faster than usual. Even when he encountered difficult cases, he had never been so nervous.

……

It was dark, but it didn't seem completely dark. The round moon hung high in the sky, illuminating the night as bright as white jade.

"Mom, Wenzhu County is so lively at night."

Shen Wanyi was carrying a small bag made for her by Old Lady Qu, and she was skipping in front of Lin Ting.

"Of course, because tonight is Xiaobao's birthday, even Wenzhu has become lively, and there are many performances to watch. Come on, Mom will take you to see them."

People here go to bed early and the circus performances also start early. Lin Ting first took Shen Wanyi to watch the fire ring jumping.

A man jumped through the circles of fire without getting caught in any sparks, which drew applause from the audience.

"Mom, look! That brother is amazing! He jumps so high."

There were too many people, so Lin Ting could only hold Shen Wanyi up to watch. This was the first time she had seen such a performance so directly, and she didn't expect it to be so shocking.

“It’s amazing!”

After the fire ring ended, it was time for the iron flower show that Lin Ting had always wanted to see. The circus people cleared out some of the audience to leave enough space for them to perform.

Lin Ting saw a craftsman swaying in the darkness with the flames of a furnace in his hand. They scooped up the red-hot molten iron and threw it into the air with all their might.

In an instant, the iron flowers bloomed like stars, and the golden light illuminated the entire night sky. The one-piece flower streaked across the sky like a meteor, carrying with it scorching temperature and endless power.

They intertwined and collided in the air, as colorful as fireworks, but more majestic and heroic than fireworks.

Sparks flew everywhere, as if a golden rainstorm was pouring down.

Each iron flower is the crystallization of the craftsman's superb skills and the perfect fusion of courage and strength.

At this moment, not only Lin Ting was mesmerized, but everyone present was amazed at this beautiful skill.

"Mom, it's so beautiful. Is this what the book calls 'iron flower'?"
