When Love Turns the Tables: The Mysterious Husband's Chase

Chapter 1116: Chapter 1116: Learning the Piano

"Si Yan is here? What are you bringing? You child, hurry inside, it’s cold outside, isn’t it? Get in and warm up."

Xi Siyan’s usually icy face showed a faint smile: "Aunt likes the pastries from this shop, I happened to pass by, so I bought some."

Mrs. An beamed as she took the items from Xi Siyan’s hands, inviting him to sit inside.

"Xiao Ge is in her room, An Rui is still playing games, feel free to sit, or go upstairs to see Xiao Ge."

Xi Siyan nodded, stepping upstairs, and softly knocked on the door before entering.

An Ge was sitting in a wheelchair, with a tablet in front watching a video. Upon hearing the sound, she turned her head, her usually calm face broke into a smile: "Brother Siyan."

Xi Siyan sat on the chair beside An Ge, glanced at the tablet, it was a video of a world-renowned pianist performing.

"Does Xiao Ge want to learn the piano?"

An Ge’s cheeks turned slightly red as she nodded gently, then quickly added: "Brother Siyan, please don’t tell my mom."

Xi Siyan understood what An Ge meant. Although she was very young, possibly due to her physical condition, An Ge was more sensitive and mature than others her age.

She didn’t want to trouble her parents, knowing they would try to find ways if they knew she wanted to learn piano. Yet, she was unable to face strangers, not wanting her parents to be distressed because of her.

Xi Siyan’s gaze lingered on the video for two seconds, and suddenly the scene from the Christmas party emerged in his mind.

White dress, girl’s focused expression, and the melodious tune.

Xi Siyan’s eyes flickered, and he softly spoke: "Brother Siyan knows a little, does Xiao Ge want to learn?"

An Ge’s eyes lit up: "Brother Siyan knows?"

"Knows a little."

An Ge’s health wasn’t good, and the An Family showered her with all their love and care. She seldom made requests, and any she made were naturally fulfilled without question.

The next day, a white tripod piano was placed in the study next to An Ge’s room.

An Rui and Xi Siyan went to buy beginner sheets for An Ge.

Relying on past memories, Xi Siyan taught An Ge some basic fingerings and sheet music reading.

An Ge learned quickly and indeed showed much interest, practicing repeatedly at the piano even with a little guidance from Xi Siyan.

Mrs. An watched from the doorway for a while, her eyes misty.

An Rui and Xi Siyan accompanied her downstairs, Mrs. An sighed: "Si Yan, thank you for your hard work."

"Aunt, you’re too kind. I only know a little; Xiao Ge still needs a teacher if she wants to learn properly."

Mrs. An sighed again: "It’s difficult because of Xiao Ge’s condition, sigh..."

Xi Siyan paused in silence for two seconds, quietly making a plan in his mind.

He stayed at the An Family for three days, tutoring An Ge and teaching her some simple piano basics before returning home.

The day before school resumed, Xi Siyan visited a music shop near the high school, arranging to practice piano there for two hours every Tuesday after school.

The next day, when Zhou Chengchen arrived at school in the morning, she found a bread, a cup of fresh soy milk, and two egg tarts on her desk.

Zhou Chengchen was taken aback, with Xi Siyan absent, she reached out to poke Xiao Rou: "Did you give these to me?"

Xiao Rou shook her head: "No, oh right Cheng Chen, let me see your physics paper, I can’t do it."

Zhou Chengchen handed the paper to her, then looked back at the breakfast in front of her, was it from Xi Siyan?
