"It seems like you like it more than I do." Lan Sui said calmly, "I can't stop thinking about it."
"But the cost of this fun is too high."
This was equivalent to a disguised rejection. Yi Chenye paused with a smile on his face, "How stingy."
"When it comes to matters concerning life, of course we have to be cautious," said Lan Sui.
Yi Chenye put down the bait, but the fish didn't take the bait. He lowered his eyes and stared calmly at the fragile skin, as if its throat could be torn easily.
Lan Sui has been maintaining a delicate balance, a balance that is beneficial to both of them.
How much does Lan Sui really care about him?
...
The next night, Lan Sui got dressed and pushed the door open, and heard the sound of a piano.
There has always been a piano in the house, and the servants would maintain it regularly, but since Lan Sui came here, he has not heard any sound from the piano.
The melodious sound of piano echoed in the villa. Lan followed the sound and saw the person playing the piano on the first floor. Yi Chenye was wearing formal clothes. He usually looked like a gentle boss negotiating business, but now he had an artistic atmosphere and exuded the gentle demeanor of a gentleman.
There was an ornamental vase on the table nearby. Two maids were wiping the table. They glanced towards Yi Chenye and chatted quietly, not noticing Lan Sui approaching.
"Did you suffer from a broken heart? You seem a little depressed."
"What's the point of being heartbroken? Mr. Yi doesn't even have a girlfriend."
"Maybe it's someone I like. Didn't a Miss Jin come to my house before? She was pretty."
"That was two months ago, and he only came here once."
"But I saw the headlines yesterday saying that Miss Jin was engaged to the guy from Wang's company."
"Boss Yi woke up at five o'clock today. I was startled when I saw someone standing by the window."
"How could Mr. Yi, who is so handsome, still suffer from heartbreak? I think... Butler Lan Sui."
The maid caught a glimpse of Lan Sui standing nearby and stopped "analyzing" for a moment. She nervously held the handkerchief in her hand, fearing that he would scold her. The other maid was equally nervous.
Lan Sui raised his hand and signaled them to go down first.
Over there, Yi Chenye finished playing a song, stretched his five fingers, and the touch of the black and white keys of the piano went from awkward to familiar. When he regained his feel, he raised his eyes and saw Lan Sui not far away.
He curled his lower lip, "Lan Sui, you got up."
Lan Sui said, "You got up so early, is there anything special going on today?"
"No." Yi Chenye's fingertips played a few times on the piano keys, "I woke up and didn't want to sleep, so I didn't sleep."
"Can you play the piano?" he asked Lan Sui.
Lan Sui: "Yes."
Yi Chenye stood up and asked him to sit down and play a song for him. Lan Sui sat in the seat he had just sat in. The stool still had Yi Chenye's body temperature on it. He raised his hand and placed it on the piano keys, glanced at them, played a few syllables to test the feel, then raised his hand and played the short half of the song that he had just heard Yi Chenye play.
