"Xiao Yi, you play so well," An Xiaonuo said to Ning Yi, who was standing beside her, while carrying her violin.

Ning Yi scratched her head, a little embarrassed by the praise: "It's alright, you're pretty good too."

An Xiaonuo lowered her voice slightly: "I've been practicing the violin since I was eight years old, and after all these years, I'm still far behind you."

Ning Yi quickly comforted her, "I've been training since I was little, but later I went abroad for four years for personal reasons, where I had some excellent teachers."

An Xiaonuo's eyes flickered: "Your parents really care about you."

When her family was mentioned, Ning Yi's face lit up with happiness: "They are all very good to me, and they give me everything I want."

After a short while, Ning Yi noticed that An Xiaonuo's mood was not quite right.

Ning Yi asked cautiously, "Xiao Nuo, what's wrong?"

An Xiaonuo forced a smile and shook her head: "No, nothing's wrong with me."

Ning Yi, sensing something was amiss, asked with concern, "Xiao Nuo, your emotions are written all over your face. What's wrong? Tell me and I'll help you figure something out."

An Xiaonuo looked at Ning Yi, who was showing her concern, and felt a little touched. She lowered her head and pursed her lips.

Ning Yi stopped and took An Xiaonuo's hand, saying softly, "Xiaonuo, we're roommates and good friends now. You can tell me anything."

An Xiaonuo stared blankly at Ning Yi, remaining silent for a few seconds, clearly showing her hesitation.

Finally, she said sadly, "Actually, I envy you... at least your family loves you very much. I just suddenly thought of my family."

“Our family was actually quite well-off, and I had a relatively happy childhood. It was only later that my parents had a younger brother… My grandmother was very sexist, so afterwards everyone in our family focused all their attention on my brother.”

An Xiaonuo's eyes glistened with tears: "My parents only care about my younger brother, not me. Even when I went to university, they just had a driver take me. You know, I was so envious when I saw everyone else being driven by their parents."

Ning Yi stepped forward and hugged An Xiaonuo, gently patting her back and saying softly, "It's okay, it's okay, we're here for you now, we're here with you."

"You're excellent. They'll see you when you shine. You're no worse than your brother. Live well and be happy every day. There are so many beautiful and happy things in the world," Ning Yi said softly, constantly comforting An Xiaonuo.

An Xiaonuo was touched by Ning Yi's words. She nodded gratefully and said, "Thank you, Ning Yi."

Ning Yi took out a tissue from her pocket and handed it to An Xiaonuo.

An Xiaonuo took the tissue and wiped her tears, saying, "I used to attend an international school where all the classmates were from wealthy families. But some of my friends who had been with me for a while found out that I wasn't valued by my family... so they decisively distanced themselves from me."

A hint of fear and worry flashed in An Xiaonuo's eyes.

Ning Yi responded with a comforting smile: "I won't, neither will we. True friends only look at you as a person, they don't care about those things. But isn't that good too? It helps you filter out a lot of unreliable friends."

An Xiaonuo was comforted by Ning Yi's words. She nodded, feeling a warmth in her heart: "Thank you so much, Xiaoyi. You are such a good person. I finally understand why you are so attractive."

Ning Yi felt a little embarrassed by An Xiaonuo's words: "No, it's okay, I'm just glad you're happy."

Ning Yi continued walking, holding An Xiaonuo's hand: "I'll treat you to dessert. Eating something sweet will make your heart feel less bitter."

An Xiaonuo looked at Ning Yi and smiled gently at her, her beautiful eyes crinkling.

An Xiaonuo smiled unconsciously: "Xiaoyi, has anyone ever said that your smile is very healing?"

"Did it cure you?" Ning Yi asked jokingly.

An Xiaonuo laughed out loud: "It's healing!"

……

The next morning at eight o'clock, Ning Yi got up and dressed.

She cheered herself on in the mirror, thinking, "I must do my best today, because Ji Yan is watching me from below."

Ji Yan had already stopped outside the south gate of Nanjing University early on.

Ning Yi walked over with small, quick steps.

Ji Yan saw Ning Yi's hurried appearance from afar, and he unconsciously curled the corners of his lips.

Ji Yan, wearing a baseball cap, got out of the car and walked a few steps toward Ning Yi.

Ning Yi was surprised to see Ji Yan getting out of the car, and then quickly said, "Why did you get out? You could have waited for me in the car."

Ji Yan took the violin from Ning Yi's back and said slowly, "No need to rush, aren't you tired?"

Ning Yi scratched her head a little embarrassedly: "I was afraid you'd have to wait too long."

Ji Yan took Ning Yi's violin and placed it in the back seat.

Then Ji Yan got into the driver's seat, and Ning Yi quickly got into the passenger seat.

Ning Yi was having a hard time pulling the seatbelt. Just as she was about to pull it with both hands, she felt that the pleasant scent was getting closer and closer. She turned her head slightly and found that Ji Yan was only ten centimeters away from her.

Ning Yi was so stunned that she didn't dare to move. She sat there in a daze. Ji Yan turned slightly to her side and easily pulled Ning Yi's seat belt over and fastened it with one hand.

After fastening his seatbelt, Ji Yan sat back in his seat and fastened his seatbelt again.

When Ning Yi came to her senses, she couldn't help but feel a little shy, and her face started to burn again.

"Then let's go. If you feel uncomfortable in the car, there's glucose in the drawer in front of you that you can drink some," Ji Yan said softly to Ning Yi while holding the steering wheel.

At this moment, Ning Yi was like a good child, sitting obediently in her seat and nodding.

Upon seeing this, Ji Yan immediately felt somewhat pleased.

Because of the long drive, Ningyi felt a little uncomfortable sitting for a while, so she leaned back and dozed off for a bit.

Upon arriving at their destination and parking the car, Ji Yan turned to look at Ning Yi and found that she had already fallen asleep.

He looked at the sleeping girl and felt a little reluctant to wake her.

Ji Yan stared at Ning Yi for a moment and found that she did indeed look somewhat similar to Ning Anyuan, but then again, she was indeed good-looking.

Ningyi was probably a little lightly sleepy at this moment; her eyelids twitched, and her eyelashes fluttered.

Ji Yan immediately turned his head and looked straight ahead.

Ning Yi opened her eyes, still half-asleep, and then realized the car was already in the underground parking lot. She immediately sat up: "We're here!"

Ji Yan said calmly, "Yes, we just arrived. Let's get ready to get off the bus."

Ning Yi nodded and got out of the car with Ji Yan. Ji Yan even went to the back seat to get Ning Yi's violin.

They arrived at the concert hall shortly afterward.

Ning Anyuan, along with Ning's parents, were already waiting for Ning Yi not far away. When Ning Yi and Ji Yan first entered, they were still chatting with some acquaintances.

Then Ning Anyuan saw Ning Yi walking towards him from not far away, and he waved: "Xiao Yi".

Ning Yi and Ji Yan then walked over together.

Ji Yan politely greeted them: "Hello, Uncle and Auntie."

Ning's mother walked forward with a smile: "Ayan's here! It's been so long! You've gotten even more handsome!"

Ji Yan smiled slightly: "Auntie looks younger and younger."

Gu Ai listened with a smile.

Ning Jian stepped forward and asked, "How are your parents doing lately? When are you going to get together for a meal?"

"They're all doing well. They just got back from a trip to Y country. They were saying a few days ago that they're coming to Linshi. I'll arrange for you all to have dinner together then," Ji Yan said with a gentle and polite smile, the kind of person elders would like.

Father Ning patted Ji Yan on the shoulder, nodded, and looked at him with approval: "Yan'er has grown so much now. I heard your career is also soaring."

Ji Yan smiled modestly: "Not at all, not at all."

After exchanging pleasantries, Ning Yi also had to go and make preparations.

Someone led them to a seat on the side, where someone on stage had already begun playing.

I heard there were only twelve performers at this concert, but it seems quite a few people still came.

Ning Anyuan noticed Ji Yan sitting down next to her and said with some surprise, "You're watching my sister's performance too?"

Ji Yan raised an eyebrow and said calmly, "Is it not allowed?"
