I just wandered around for a bit, and before I knew it, it was noon.
During the meal, Fang Bai selected two photos that she thought were pretty good and posted them on her WeChat Moments.
Mu Xuerou: Wow! Aunt Fang is so beautiful! You guys actually went back to school! I really want to take a picture at the school gate too!
He Ziyan: Aunt Fang is so pretty +1, Ji casually tilts his head back arrogantly.jpg
Lu Raomei: Tsk tsk, is this an official announcement?
Hao Yingman: Ahhh! May you have a long and happy marriage! Give me your address, I'll send you a gift!
Liao Li: Shocking! Someone who never posts on WeChat Moments in ages actually did it today—
Liao Li: I didn't have internet just now, so I didn't notice you were showing off your love!
Intern: Sister Bai! So you were President Ji's secret lover! Ahhh, I'm going to disappear into the ground!
Fang Maozhou: Thumbs up.jpg
Fang Bai hadn't expected that simply posting a set of photos would garner so many comments.
With red dots constantly appearing on the discovery page, Fang Bai was so busy replying to comments that he had to stop eating.
Seeing Fang Bai holding his phone, typing with a smile, Ji Yuning frowned and asked, "What is Auntie doing?"
Fang Bai didn't even look up: "Reply to the comment."
"Did you send anything?"
"Yes, I posted two photos on my WeChat Moments," Fang Bai said.
Ji Yuning's eyes flickered as she opened her phone.
The first picture is a photo of the two of them together.
This photo was taken in front of the gate of Huyi Middle School. The two people in the photo are standing in the same spot where Bai picked up Ji Yuning after school.
In the photo, Fang Bai smiles and tilts his head, leaning towards Ji Yuning.
The photos alone show that the two have a close relationship.
The other photo is a solo shot, featuring Ji Yuning.
The scene is inside a car. She is looking out the window, and light shines through the window from the other side, illuminating her face with a golden glow. The light happens to fall on the slight smile at the corner of her mouth beneath her serene expression.
Ji Yuning unconsciously raised an eyebrow. When did she smile like that? Even she herself didn't know.
Ji Yuning was happy to see that Fang Bai had posted her picture on his WeChat Moments.
So half a minute later, Ji Yuning's WeChat Moments was updated:
[With my aunt.]
The accompanying picture is of Fang Bai eating, which Ji Yuning just casually took.
Fang Bai's good looks are a major advantage; even though it was just a casual snapshot, it looks better than some professionally edited photos.
After replying to the comment, Fang Bai saw this post on her WeChat Moments: "..."
She had absolutely no desire to give Ji Yuning a thumbs up.
3 PM.
Fang Bai woke up from his afternoon nap, opened his eyes, and wanted to close them again to rest for a while. In his hazy state, he heard the sound of a piano playing in his ears.
She looked to the side, but the person beside her had vanished.
Although the piano music was not very clear and was intermittent, the pieces played were still pleasant to listen to.
Fang Bai rolled out of bed, slipped on his slippers, and slowly walked towards the sound.
The further down the stairs Fang Bai went, the more familiar the music became. When he reached the first floor, he recognized the piece as a song—Ji Yuning's only car music track: "I Only Care About You."
Ji Yuning caught a glimpse of the person standing motionless at the top of the stairs out of the corner of her eye. After looking away, she parted her thin lips slightly:
"
Time flies by
I only care about you.
I am willing to be infected by your scent.
……
Ji Yuning sat upright at the piano, playing and singing to herself. The aura she exuded was just like the pure white shirt she wore—reserved, aloof, and noble.
Her voice is rather cool and detached, unlike the gentle and affectionate voices that draw listeners into the story's atmosphere. It seems that Ji Yuning sings primarily for one person, someone who truly understands her.
Fang Bai, that's the person.
Fang Bai stood on the last step, quietly waiting for the song to end.
As the last note faded, Ji Yuning looked at Fang Bai, "Did I wake you up?"
Fang Bai shook his head slightly, stepped down the stairs, and said, "I'll wake up naturally."
Under Ji Yuning's gaze, Fang Bai walked to the piano.
Leaning against the instrument, Fang Bai's graceful figure was revealed. She asked in a drawn-out tone, "Why are you playing the instrument?"
"Itchy hands."
Fang Bai rested his arm on the piano, glanced at the black and white keys, and then met Ji Yuning's gaze. "Play it again?"
"Does Auntie want to learn?" Ji Yuning looked at Fang Bai. "I'll teach you."
Fang Bai's interest was piqued, and she was eager to try, but she didn't agree immediately. Instead, she stretched out her palm downwards toward Ji Yuning and asked, "Can I play with my hand like this?"
She also has manicured nails.
Ji Yuning gracefully took Fang Bai's hand and said gently, "It's fine, playing for just a little while won't make a difference."
"Then... learn the part you just sang?" Fang Bai knew he knew nothing about musical instruments and had no talent, but Ji Yuning had piqued his interest, so he only needed to play a short piece.
Ji Yuning nodded: "Okay."
There was only one chair, so Ji Yuning got up and gave it to Fang Bai.
She stood behind Fang Bai, and with a slight bend, her slender fingers could reach the piano keys.
Fang Bai has no musical talent, but fortunately she has a pretty good memory, and her piano teacher is patient and tirelessly corrects her mistakes.
Twenty minutes later, Fang Bai finally managed to play it out haltingly. It wasn't pleasant to listen to, and it was even a bit rough, but it was good because of his persistence.
With only a few notes left to play, Fang Bai suddenly forgot which keys she was supposed to press. Just as she was about to ask Ji Yuning, a hand suddenly appeared on the piano keys and pressed the last few notes for her, bringing her "performance" to a perfect end.
What's even more perfect is that when playing the last note, Fang Bai's hand involuntarily reached out, and it touched Ji Yuning's hand. The last note was played by both of them together.
From the start of the lesson, Ji Yuning and Fang Bai's hands frequently touched. When Ji Yuning leaned over to teach, her breathing was so loud it burned Fang Bai's ears.
Fang Bai was completely unaware of all of this; her attention was entirely focused on the piano, and all she noticed was Ji Yuning's attentiveness.
The student is an excellent student, but the teacher is not a good teacher.
Ji Yuning turned her head and kissed Fang Bai, her voice hoarse: "Auntie is so amazing."
Fang Bai felt that she could play the piece fairly well, which was not bad, but she felt unworthy of the word "great". She smiled and looked at Ji Yuning, "No~ If it weren't for your help, the final result would definitely not have been so good, or you could say it would have been a complete mess."
Ji Yuning wrapped her arms around Fang Bai and whispered in his ear, "It's really amazing that you were able to play a piece in such a short time, even though it's your first time playing the piano."
Whether he was genuinely impressive or not, Fang Bai's ears had turned red from Ji Yuning's praise, and a hint of embarrassment flashed across his face.
She got up from Ji Yuning's embrace. "You do it."
Fang Bai gave up his seat and stood aside, wanting to watch Ji Yuning continue playing the piano.
But then they saw Ji Yuning take half a step and put the piano lid down.
Fang Bai asked, "Aren't you going to play anymore?"
"Take a break."
"Then I'll go get you a glass of water."
"No need to pour it." Ji Yuning pulled Fang Bai back. "There's something I need Auntie to do with me."
Before Fang Bai could ask anything, Ji Yuning leaned closer to her, and soon, Ji Yuning kissed Fang Bai's lips.
They are inseparable, yet also close yet distant.
During the kiss, Fang Bai was led to the piano by Ji Yuning. As Fang Bai's buttocks pressed against the piano, he heard Ji Yuning's whisper in his ear: "Sit on it."
In a moment of confusion and infatuation, Fang Bai subconsciously obeyed Ji Yuning's words and stood on tiptoe, lifting his hips.
When she felt the coolness beneath her, Fang Bai's mind cleared up a bit, and she also realized what Ji Yuning was about to do.
Fang Bai opened her misty eyes and said to the person kissing her neck, "Xiao Ning...no."
Ji Yuning looked up, a smile playing on her lips, and leaned down to touch Fang Bai's lips with her own. "Okay."
"Sister Wu... is here."
Ji Yuning dragged Fang Bai's leg, "Aunt Wu and the others went to the Fang family's house and won't be back until tonight."
The compromise lasted only a second; Fang Bai quickly regained his composure.
During the day, in the empty living room, on the piano.
How...can this be?
She pressed her hand against Ji Yuning's shoulder with a little force, trying to push her away, but the latter closed his eyes and kissed her.
"No, no." Between gasps for breath, Fang Bai's resistance was insignificant.
She waited for a while, but Ji Yuning didn't stop. Instead, she became even more aggressive. Fang Bai clutched Ji Yuning's clothes, her eyes reddening. Because of her shame, her voice trembled slightly, "There will be...there will be water."
Ji Yuning paused for a moment, glancing sideways at Fang Bai's already flushed face, and could imagine how embarrassed she was when she said those words.
Ji Yuning chuckled and whispered in Fang Bai's ear, "It won't break."
After saying that, she kissed Fang Bai again.
I just don't know if Ji Yuning meant Fang Bai or the piano when she said it wouldn't break.
Fang Bai didn't know either. She wanted to refuse, but Ji Yuning's kiss once again led her to fall into depravity. She succumbed to Ji Yuning's woven words, her mind went blank, and she quickly forgot her previous concerns and where she was.
