“Okay, okay, that’s fine,” Ning Anyuan replied.
"Then my little sister must be secretly thrilled," Ning Anyuan said with a doting smile.
"Hmm?" Ji Yan turned to look at him upon hearing this.
"You should be secretly happy, my sister is your little fan," Ning Anyuan said somewhat irritably.
No wonder, he recalled Ning Yi always having a smug look on her face; after all, she was still a little girl.
Thinking of this, Ji Yan couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips, and the dimple on his right cheek appeared faintly.
Ning Yi went to the bathroom to touch up her makeup and change her clothes.
Gu Ai specially prepared a light white flowing fairy dress for her, which was extremely exquisite and had beautiful Suzhou embroidery patterns on it.
She looked at herself in the mirror and smiled with satisfaction, then went out and sat down in the waiting room to wait.
She was the ninth person to appear.
Actually, she was quite nervous. Although it wasn't a large-scale performance, it was her first time on stage, and for her, it felt like she had just learned to play the violin.
She kept praying to the Bodhisattva to protect her and prevent anything from going wrong.
After a while, Ning Yi was led over by the ushers to the stage.
The lights shone on Ning Yi, making her the most dazzling one.
She practiced countless times in the waiting room, and then confidently took the microphone handed to her by the hostess.
Ning Yi's voice was already sweet, and she raised it a few notes as she said cheerfully, "Hello everyone, I am Ning Yi, the violinist of number nine."
Then there was a burst of applause from below.
She saw Ji Yan sitting with her parents and brother, and her heart skipped a beat because he was looking at her.
She tried to calm herself down and, with a clear mind, began to play the piece she had prepared for a long time.
If she was scared at first, she gradually calmed down and became more and more confident as she listened to the melody she had just played and continued to play.
Ning Yi's long hair was casually draped over her waist, and her head swayed gently with the melody she played; she was enjoying herself at that moment.
Enjoy the beautiful melody and the feeling of self-confidence.
Ji Yan, sitting in the audience, stared at the girl on stage, his gaze momentarily stunned.
Ning Yi looks beautiful in this dress, and it suits her temperament perfectly. The light shining on her adds to her gentle beauty.
At this moment, Ning Yi on stage felt completely different from the Ning Yi I had met before.
The girl on stage smiled calmly and sweetly, which made people feel happy just looking at her.
Ji Yan watched intently from below the stage, his eyes revealing a hint of appreciation.
Before we knew it, the piece was over, and another round of applause followed.
Ning Yi bowed to everyone and was then led off the stage.
After finishing her violin performance, Ning Yi walked to the audience seats and sat in the empty seat between Ning Anyuan and Ning's mother.
"My little Yi is so great," Gu Ai said to her with a big smile.
Ning Yi scratched her head sheepishly: "It's alright."
Then some people who knew Ning Jian and Gu Ai saw Ning Yi and came up to praise her.
"Old Ning, I never knew you had such an outstanding daughter!"
"Yes, she's so beautiful, and she plays the violin so well."
"Ms. Ning, I think you play the violin exceptionally well. Would it be convenient to exchange contact information? I can contact you if there are any competitions or performances like this in the future."
A refined-looking middle-aged man said to Ning Yi
Ning Anyuan recognized him and introduced him, "Xiao Yi, this is Teacher Mo from the Lin City Art Association, Mo Yan."
Ning Yi nodded politely: "Hello, Teacher Mo, of course, it would be my honor."
……
After a long time, the concert finally came to a close.
Ning Jian wanted to invite Ji Yan to dinner, but Ji Yan had his own things to do, and as a public figure, he couldn't go around too much.
Finally, Ji Yan said goodbye to everyone.
Ning Yi then went back to the Ning residence with them for dinner.
She had just finished playing her piece, and because her parents and brother were there, she didn't feel comfortable talking to Ji Yan much, so Ji Yan left after only a few words with her.
Ning Yi, who was sitting on the sofa, picked up her phone and sent a message to Ji Yan.
Ningyi: Have you arrived yet?
Ji Yan: I just arrived a little while ago
Ning Yi: Was my performance today okay? [Looking forward to it]
after awhile.
Ji Yan: Very good
Ning Yi smiled.
Ji Yan: I'm going to class now.
Ning Yi: Okay [Thank you for your hard work]
In the afternoon, Ning Yi went back to her room and slept for the whole afternoon.
When she got up and went downstairs, she saw a figure in the living room.
Hearing the commotion, Xie Zhi looked towards the stairs. Upon seeing Ning Yi, she immediately greeted her warmly, "Little Yi, it's been a long time!"
Ning Yi paused for two seconds before recovering and politely said, "Long time no see, Sister Xie Zhi."
She still remembered Xie Zhi, but she didn't expect Xie Zhi to come to the Ning residence again so soon.
Ning Yi slowly walked over.
"I just arrived recently. I just heard from An Yuan that you went home today too," Xie Zhi said, stepping forward and taking Ning Yi's arm.
Ning Yi smiled somewhat awkwardly: "Yes, I'm going back to a neighboring city today to attend a concert."
She glanced at Ning Anyuan sitting not far away and saw him rubbing his temples, looking like he had a headache.
Xie Zhi continued enthusiastically, "Is Xiaoyi settling in well at school? How's her health lately?"
Ning Yi nodded and sat down with Xie Zhi: "I'm fine, and my health is pretty good."
Aunt Lin came over with a fruit platter, smiling, and said, "Everyone, come and have some fruit, I just cut it."
Xie Zhi politely said to Aunt Lin, "Thank you, Aunt Lin."
Then she solicitously picked up some fruit and handed it to Ning Yi: "Little Yi, you should eat more fruit. Fruit is good for your health."
It has to be said that Xie Zhi had a sense of taking the initiative.
Ning Yi felt genuinely uncomfortable. She forced a smile but still accepted the fruit: "Thank you, Sister Xie Zhi. You should have some too."
Then Xie Zhi turned and picked up a piece of fruit, handing it to Ning Anyuan: "Anyuan, have some fruit too."
Ning Anyuan stiffened slightly, then waved his hand and said, "No need, you eat it, I don't really want to."
Xie Zhi's tone was slightly coquettish: "Eat it, I've already put it to your lips."
Ning Anyuan's lips twitched, and he could only grit his teeth and accept, "Okay, okay, I'll eat it."
Then Xie Zhi smiled with satisfaction.
Ning Yi didn't know why Xie Zhi had so much to say and so many topics to discuss, but out of politeness, she had to agree.
I wish I hadn't woken up so early.
About ten minutes later, Ning Jian and Gu Ai returned from outside. Seeing Xie Zhi there, they took the initiative to invite her to stay and have dinner with them.
Ning Yi looked at Ning Anyuan's face, which had turned dark instantly, and she almost laughed.
Xie Zhi was also very enthusiastic towards Ning Jian and Gu Ai, but Gu Ai still liked Xie Zhi quite a bit. After all, she was not only beautiful and eloquent, but also the daughter of her good friend. Ning's mother liked her very much and did not feel anything was wrong with her.
"When is Xiaoyi going back to school? Will Anyuan take you?" Xie Zhi asked, trying to start a conversation.
Ning Yi ate her food and simply replied, "Yes, I'll do it tomorrow morning."
"Then why don't I go with you too, and I'll see you off with An Yuan? It's been a long time since I've been to Nanzhou," Xie Zhi continued, looking expectant.
Ning Yi's expression froze for a moment. Seriously, she's coming along too? Didn't this woman just go to Nanzhou last month?
Before Ning Yi could even look to her brother for help, Ning Anyuan spoke up: "No need for that. I'll take Xiao Yi there. Besides, I have to go to Nanzhou for business later, so I might not have time to spend with you."
"Ah... okay then," Xie Zhi said somewhat discouraged.
Gu Ai noticed Xie Zhi's displeasure and understood Xie Zhi's underlying thoughts. She then chimed in, "How about I have An Yuan pick you up and take you to Nanzhou when An Yuan is less busy in a few days?"
Upon hearing this, Xie Zhi immediately perked up: "Really? That's great!"
Ning Yi looked at Ning Anyuan with some sympathy, only to see Ning Anyuan looking helpless.
It has to be his biological mother.
How come she didn't notice this character in the novel back then?
