Chapter 1414: A small inn on the border
Xuanyuan Lin plays the piano?
Shi Li looked down at Xuanyuan Lin's hand in disbelief.
His fingers are as slender as bamboo. I have seen him writing with a pen and holding a weapon, but I never thought that these hands could also pluck the strings of a musical instrument.
How can the hustle and bustle outside be as attractive as the one you love?
Shi Li knew Xuanyuan Lin was jealous, but she still cooperated and held his sleeve, saying in surprise: "Really? Brother can play the piano, go back and play it for me!"
"Okay!" Xuanyuan Lin agreed readily.
One of the six arts for ancient gentlemen was "music". Xuanyuan Lin admitted that he could play the zither, and Shi Li had no doubt at all.
However, “being able to play” and “playing beautifully” are not the same thing after all.
Returning to his ancestral home, Xuanyuan Lin took out a zither that had been sealed in his private storage for a long time, and prepared to play "The Phoenix Seeks the Phoenix" with full confidence.
Shi Li sat opposite him, her cheeks supported by her hands, her eyes full of surprise and anticipation.
There was a wisp of incense burning in the room, blowing softly over the guqin. Xuanyuan Lin nodded and looked at the guqin. His handsome and extraordinary eyebrows were like the bamboo breeze in the mountains, as if he had accidentally entered a painting of a beauty.
The slender fingers like jade tubes gently plucked the strings of the piano, and the unique sound of the piano passed through the eardrums, and Shi Li was suddenly stunned.

[My mother tongue is speechless...]
how to say?
There was nothing wrong with every melody Xuanyuan Lin played.
But... well... playing the piano probably also requires talent.
No one is perfect. Xuanyuan Lin is both civil and military, and he plays the piano... He is also very good, but don't play it next time.
The outspoken comments brought Shi Li back to her senses.
Looking at Xuanyuan Lin who was concentrating on playing the piano, the corner of his mouth twitched, he stood up and walked over, pretending to be admiring and said, "Brother is really amazing, he can do everything!"
After saying that, she leaned over and gave Xuanyuan Lin a kiss on the cheek.
Ding!
Xuanyuan Lin's fingers trembled and he played a wrong note. Just as he was about to continue, Shi Li threw herself into his arms and hugged him.
"Brother..." She drew out her voice as if she was acting coquettishly, but with a little more ambiguity.
With a beautiful woman in his arms, the one he had been thinking about so much, Xuanyuan Lin could not play the music on the zither any further. He withdrew his hand from plucking the strings and hugged Shi Li again.
“Do I play badly?”
When it comes to music, Xuanyuan Lin is unusually unaware of himself.
Shi Li's body froze, then she nodded repeatedly, "It sounds good, it sounds good, I'm attracted to it, brother plays the piano the best! But brother is so good, we should give others some opportunities..."
No one can refuse this wave of rainbow praise, not even Xuanyuan Lin.
He actually believed what Shi Li said, lowered his head and rubbed her cheek affectionately with his nose, and said in a calm voice: "In this case, you are not allowed to praise others anymore in the future."
Shi Li: ...
If I had known that you were so bad at playing the piano, I would never praise Futi even if you kill me.
But she carefully protected Xuanyuan Lin's self-esteem and continued to nod, "Okay, I won't praise others. But brother, you have to promise me that you will only play the piano for me in the future and not let others hear your piano."
After all, no one would praise you for your good playing against their conscience like I would.
"It's unreasonable for my little wife to be jealous, but I promise you!"
As wise as Xuanyuan Lin is, he also shows signs of falling in love with Shi Li and does not doubt her intentions at all.
【Anchor 666~】
[How else can the anchor talk about men? I've learned nothing from this! ]
[I never expected that Xuanyuan Lin actually believed the anchor's lies, haha! ]
[So, host, do you still remember to help us understand the story of the princess and the zither player? ]
The barrage of comments were still concerned about the gossip about Princess Min'an and Futi.
Little did he know that at this moment in Lanyue Tower, Futi happened to meet Su Chan.
