Can the tones of Dizi touch the jasmine flower?

CHAPTER 6 A big misunderstanding

When I finally went back home it was five pm. Thankfully I informed my sibling earlier that, because of punishment, I am likely to be late. Shijie welcomed me showing the ultimate smile on her face. Jiang Cheng said only "hi" when I opened the door to our room.

-I have to take a sip of fresh air with my flute, it won't take long.

-Sure.-he answer not even looking at me.

I took my flute and walked out. The next thing I did was climb on my favourite big tree. I sat down on a thick branch and blow the flute. The melody came to me without any difficulties like I have known it before I was born. I don't care about where is it from. It calms my soul and this is enough for me. But after a few minutes, the thing on my finger started pulling my attention and distracting me.

The red string ring on my pinky was tightly bent. There was no way to loosen it or take it off. I also couldn't cut it without hurting my skin. This meticulous work of Lan Zhan was precisely amazing. Even if it was bent extremely tightly, my finger wouldn't get numb at all. It's just the red colour was pretty noticeable on my pale skin. Whatever, I can't do anything with it right now.

I stop fluting after an hour or so, but before I left the tree I felt a sudden gaze directed at me. The sensation of it vanished as fast as appeared. That night I had no dreams.

The next day at school I was trying hard not to be suspicious. Well, I know Jiang Cheng can tell that I am different from before, but even so, I shouldn't cross a line with my changes. Jokes during the lessons but less annoying than previous ones, one prank for few days should be okay for keeping me out of the gazing storm. And, well, I can smile deftly depending on which situation I am in right now so I don't have to pay attention to this part. That's a big relief. Pushing myself to make some jokes while my mood is as dark as a pitch-black hole deep as hell isn't something easy.

The next lesson was going to begin. I was walking the corridor when I felt someone touching my shoulder. I could easily guess who was that.

-Wei...Wuxian

-Wen Ning. Why did you come here?- I didn't want him to come. It could have surely made SOMEONE suspicious. Furthermore, if I remembered correctly, that SOMEONE hated Wen Ning by all his heart because of previous life's events. To say the truth I should have hated him too, but I did not understand why this pure and nice guy should suffer for his family's mistakes. Wasn't it an overstatement?

-I really missed you Wei gong...Wei Wuxian. I don't have many friends here... oh, and my sister wanted to talk so I came to invite you for the dinner after classes. Are you free? I am really sorry it came out of a sudden but...

-Relax, I won't eat you.

-I am sorry...

-And stop being so apologetic. Ehhh...Honestly, you didn't change one bit- I laughed earnestly. I really couldn't hate him.

-I...Yes. So do you agree?

-Well I am really curious if Wen Qing is as pretty as I remember her to be.

-Do you like my sister?

-Well, I do. I do like her...and I do like you. Honestly, would I live with someone I dislike?

-Oh...So...

-Yes. I agree. I do not have any plans so I can spend some time with my "new friends".

-I'm glad you agreed. And... Can you do me one more favour?

- You are asking me that? Knowing your way of thinking it can't be something impossible, even if it is, I was always fond of challenges, weren't I? I'm pretty sure I can help you, whatever you want me to do.- I smiled patting his shoulders.
