Chapter 341: Chapter 341 - What Day Is It Today That I Could Meet Someone Like You?

The sunlight was like broken gold thread, falling on the deep bamboo groove. A gentle breeze blew with a faint aroma of plants.

A dozen young men and women sat around Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng, forming a circle surrounding them.

Now, she was in a position which was difficult for her to retreat. Su Wan placed the Fengqiwu carefully on the table and then looked up at Jiang Xuecheng with eyes of resentment.

“What do you want to play?”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xuecheng smiled faintly. “Don’t you only know one piece?”

Moreover, she had not actually mastered that piece but Jiang Xuecheng did not say this openly in public.

Su Wan was taken aback. Did this man mean ‘Tune of a Peaceful Night’?

It was indeed a song for the occasion.

The music of ‘Tune of a Peaceful Night’ was melodious. This piece was sometimes used as background music during some Chinese weddings and birthday parties.

Su Wan thought for a moment and put her hands on the string of the guqin slowly. Before she began to pluck the strings, Jiang Xuecheng had started playing the vertical flute. The sound of the vertical flute was clear and instantly made everyone look at him.

Su Wan was awestruck. She quickly plucked the string of guqin, trying hard to catch up to his melody.

Jiang Xuecheng was indeed good in playing the vertical flute. Although Su Wan felt that Jiang Xuecheng had slowed down a little so she could catch up, she still couldn’t follow his pace.

After a while, Su Wan could barely keep up with Jiang Xuecheng’s melody. The music of the guqin and the sound of the vertical flute were combined tactfully and hovered in this space full of bamboo leaf fragrance. That instant, the fast-paced life seemed to have slowed down.

Su Wan had not learned the guqin for long. Although she had played ‘Tune of a Peaceful Night’ many times, it was still not smooth.

However, Jiang Xuecheng could always lead her just right so the music could gradually move toward a smooth and continuous state.

Jiang Xuecheng looked at Su Wan leisurely and when he saw her delicate fingers moving on the strings, he lowered his eyebrows and the bindi in the middle of her forehead glowed.

She looked beautiful when she was playing the guqin...

Su Wan gradually got better and better in playing the guqin. Occasionally, she looked up at Jiang Xuecheng who was standing beside her while Jiang Xuecheng’s dark eyes were fixed on her.

Between their gazes, it felt like time had frozen.

Su Wan’s heartbeat suddenly lost its rhythm.

‘What day is it today that I could meet someone like you?’ Su Wan thought.

At the end of the song, the crews applauded. Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng were both dressed in white, with one playing the guqin and the other playing the vertical flute. The scene was so beautiful it took people’s breath away.

When Director Li Shan was listening to the ensemble, he couldn’t help asking the photographer to take a few photographs.

It was beautiful. He felt that with a little editing, it could be turned into a movie poster.

Su Wan retracted her hands and brushed her hair a little before she slowly stood up.

Su Wan smiled and with a genuine apologetic look, apologized. “I’m sorry, I’m a beginner in playing the guqin. I’ve made a fool of myself.”

Su Wan had made several little mistakes while playing ‘Tune of a Peaceful Night’ just now. If not for the sound of Jiang Xuecheng’s vertical flute, she was afraid the ensemble would be several grades worse.

Su Wan’s second feeling was that Jiang Xuecheng was a man who was modest about his skills!

She had lived in Fontainebleau for so long and had never seen that white jade vertical flute!

Moreover, his level of playing the vertical flute was much higher than the level of her playing the guqin!

It was a completely different level!

Most of the crew didn’t know how to play the guqin. When they listened to the ensemble just now, they did not hear anything unusual, probably because Jiang Xuecheng played and led well. They thought Su Wan was being humble.

Director Li Shan walked over toward Su Wan and said, “Miss Su, you played well. It was quite good for a beginner!”

As he spoke, he wanted to pat her shoulder to console her but Jiang Xuecheng came forward immediately, making Li Shan retract his hand in awkwardness.

When the crew saw how Li Shan was humiliated, they laughed. However, the young master really protected his wife. Today’s work was not physically tiring but their hearts were tired.

Their hearts were tired because the young master and Miss Su had shown their affections in front of them in different ways!

Director Li Shan coughed lightly and then looked around at the crew with a smile.

“Alright, everyone has worked hard today. Let’s call it a day. Please tidy up and we’ll go for seafood.”

The crew cheered and put away the props.

Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng went back to the changing room to change into their own clothes. Su Wan loved the white traditional clothing they wore and got Jiang Xuecheng to bring them home.

When both of them came out, the crew realized that Jiang Xuecheng and Su Wan were not going with them.

Miss Zhou walked toward Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng and asked in a friendly manner, “Miss Su, Young Master, aren’t the two of you going for dinner with us?”

Su Wan held Jiang Xuecheng’s hands and felt the warmth in his palm. Her smile deepened.

“No, you should all have fun.”

“Okay then, goodbye Young Master and Miss Su!”

Miss Zhou waved regretfully and then left with the others.

Their plan tonight would be rich. They would first go for a seafood dinner, followed by the theme park. Someone suggested to visit the hot spring too. It felt like it would be a day where no one would return without getting drunk.

It was a pity the young master and Su Wan were not joining them...

After seeing the crew off, Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng gazed at one another while they smiled. Then, they got into the car.

Su Wan sat on the co-driver’s seat. Her eyes were lowered. She didn’t even have the energy to speak now. She had been exhausted all day and her waist, back, and arms were all painful.

Everything was wrong.

Although the wire harness in the afternoon was fresh and fun, hanging in the air was stressful for a person with a slight fear of height.

Jiang Xuecheng tilted his head occasionally to look at her. He saw her lying down on the seat with half-closed eyes.

That lazy look really made her look like a cat, arousing his urge to pinch her face.

Jiang Xuecheng pursed his lips and smiled. Then, he sped up toward home.

The minute they arrived at Fontainebleau, Su Wan was full of excitement. As soon as Jiang Xuecheng stopped the car, Su Wan happily wanted to get off with energy from god-knows-where.

“Ouch, my foot...”

Jiang Xuecheng got down from the car and saw Su Wan frowning. She supported the car window and her eyes were red.

Jiang Xuecheng pursed his lips and walked over to Su Wan immediately. He shifted his eyes onto Su Wan’s ankle and there was concern in his eyes.

“Wan Wan, what’s wrong?”

Su Wan shrunk her head in embarrassment. “I was too anxious to get out of the car and I accidentally sprained my ankle.”

“I’ve always said that you’re dumb but you were never convinced. Look how clumsy you are?”

Jiang Xuecheng couldn’t help mocking her when he looked at Su Wan’s slightly teary eyes.

Su Wan blushed. She pointed at her shoes.

“I don’t usually wear shoes with such high and slim heels. I was not used to it, so that’s why...”

Jiang Xuecheng’s eyes shifted downward and swept across the pair of silver diamond high heels. The slim heels were seven centimeters high. No wonder it was hard for her to walk in them.
