Seeing that he was so honest and unpolite about Bai Hong, Tao Zhaide felt a little embarrassed. He smiled and said, "I'm sorry, these two guys don't know what kind of politeness means. How much does this meal cost? Let me pay."

Li Lan immediately stretched out her hand and shook it hard: "How can this be?! How can I ask for money from the immortal family? You are so frustrating. Please don't be polite to me!"

Taozhaide hesitated for a moment and said, "But... Brother Li Lan, your economy is not sufficient, right? Just now, my second brother said you are cheating on food and drink here..."

Regarding Taozhaide's blunt statement, Li Lan just smiled awkwardly and said, "It's nothing. At most, I just play the free piano for this store for a few more months. It won't be like that."

Tao Zhaide was stunned. He picked up the little debt that was already covered with soup, put it next to him, and continued: "Play the piano for a few more months? Well... Brother Li Lan, first of all, I hope you don't call me "Immortal Family". I'm not used to this title. In addition, why do you risk working in vain and treat me to dinner and stay in a hotel?"

Li Lan picked up the small wine pot and poured it a little for himself. He also wanted to pour wine for Taozhaide, but Taozhaide did not ask for it, so he did not continue to persuade him.

After a sip of wine, the long-haired man hesitated for a moment. The originally handsome and cheerful expression is now gradually gathering with each other, as if he is hesitating about something...

Looking at Li Lan's sad look, Tao Zhaide smiled heartlessly and said, "Ah, if you really don't want to say anything, then you don't need to say..."

"I am an orphan."

Li Lan exhaled and said slowly—

"Because my family was poor when I was a child, my parents sold me to a juggling team when I just started to remember. It was also from that time that when I didn't understand what was going on, I became an actor."

Taozhaide: "(Whisper) I clearly said you don't need to say it..."

Li Lan raised her head, looked at her wine glass, and smiled bitterly. Afterwards, his eyes looked at the piano placed there, and a little bitterness appeared in his eyes.

"Since I was a child, I started to play the stages with the opera troupe everywhere. Although the coach also taught me how to perform and figure, I finally realized that my talent is actually the same piano."

"Life in the opera troupe has no rhythm. Sometimes I have to sing opera late at night, and sometimes I will be scolded and looked down upon by others. Even if I practice the piano hard, I am still just an actor in the end and I can't count as much as I can."

"However, I felt a little tired of following the opera troupe and wandering around. Maybe it was because I was not a person who liked living like the opera troupe. I secretly started saving money and prepared to redeem myself."

"In order to prepare for a redeem, I began to deliberately play the song, which is not bad, but it sounds ordinary. Then, I will deliberately lose to a few students I led in the opera troupe to make them stand out. In this way, the coach gradually stopped me from playing. When I proposed to redeem myself, I was easily agreed."

Li Lan exhaled, raised her head and drank the wine in her glass.

"After that, I started wandering everywhere. Without the support of the opera troupe, my life alone became even more difficult. Fortunately, I still have my piano. Five years ago, I wandered to Wisteria Town. The owner of this restaurant asked me to stay and play the piano. In this way, I settled down here..."

He poured himself a glass of wine again. After the wine was over, he seemed to be a little interested. He simply picked up the piano and placed it on his knees. After adjusting the sound, he gently hooked his fingers.

Ding～～～～～～～～

A melodious voice came from this seemingly ordinary piano. Each of the following tones contained a feeling of bathing in the spring breeze.

"Fate is just for the beauty. I thought that I would live so plainly in my life. I would just play the piano here. After saving a sum of money, I might go to the capital to take a look, and then when I grow old, I will die alone."

The sound of the piano is melodious, as if there is a gentle heartbeat, with a gentle and a little unspeakable joy.

"I met her... a person I can never forget after seeing her at first sight."

"Three years ago, I was on the shore of the willow bank... I came on a boat, feeling the spring breeze blowing on my face, and song casually. But I never expected that she was in the pavilion on the shore. When her eyes met, my piano sound was messy, but my heart beat. But she also smiled at me and was sincere."

"After that, after hesitating for a long time, I finally decided to visit. I knew that in my capacity, it was impossible to have any results with her. And I could not ask her to be with me, a person who had no money or home, in line with the worldly eyes."

"But I only want to be able to enter his house to play the piano. I only want to be able to see her, to be able to see her laugh because of my piano, and to move because of my piano, that... is enough."

The sound of the piano changed, from the gentleness and softness just now, gradually turned into a frivolous and lively music. The expression on Li Lan's face also turned from the initial worry and fear, and gradually turned into an incomparable joy. The movement of her fingertips was like flowing clouds and water, bright and moving. Just like in the hot summer, standing under the shade of the trees, gusts of cool breeze blew by. It was like plunging into the cold green pond water at noon in midsummer, full of pleasure.

"I recommend myself and use all my skills in his house."

"I clearly remember that day, she also sat on the side and watched me play. In front of so many people in her house, I was determined to change the loud music I had originally planned to play with my lovesickness for her."

"That day, I was immersed in the music."

"It was that day. She seemed to understand my piano sound and nodded slightly at me."

"When I saw her smile, my heart beat. When I saw her applauding me gently, I was full of inspiration, and I was happier and happier than ever before."
