MINE ALONE - Season 9 Episode 79

“Wow!” A surprised voice sounded from the door. Gu Yao stood at the door with his eyes wide open. He was a single man who had never been in a relationship before. When had he ever seen such a shocking scene? He stood at the door for a few seconds, his cheeks slightly red.

A moment later, he said in surprise, “Qiao Xi, I really didn’t expect you to be such a proactive woman. You’re actually suppressing Gu Zheng?”

Qiao Xi: “…” ‘When did he see me taking the initiative?’

Hearing Gu Yao’s words, her face turned as red as a tomato. She hurriedly pushed Gu Zheng away and got up from his body. She shouted in exasperation, “Gu Yao! Do you want to die?!”

Gu Zheng stood up casually and straightened his messy shirt. He slowly looked up. “What are you doing here?”

Gu Yao met Gu Zheng’s cold eyes and trembled in fear. “I-It’s nothing. I didn’t know the two of you were…”

Gu Zheng’s lips were slightly red, and his eyes were a little dazed. His indifferent gaze landed on Gu Yao. When he smiled, he made Gu Yao shudder.

Gu Yao defended himself while trembling. “It’s clearly your fault for getting intimate without locking the door. You can’t blame me! Moreover, Qiao Xi, you’re a woman. You have to be more reserved. How can you suppress Gu Zheng?!”

Qiao Xi gritted her teeth in anger. “Gu Yao, should I gouge your eyes out?”

Gu Yao shook his head crazily, his cheeks red as he looked at Qiao Xi in embarrassment. “I didn’t see anything. I just want to remind you that it’s not good for women to be too proactive—”

Before Gu Yao could finish, Qiao Xi interrupted him helplessly. “What should we do if the child refuses to listen? He’s probably asking for a beating. We have to beat him up.”

Gu Yao gasped, and his hair stood on end. He had just accidentally pushed open the bedroom door. How could they blame him? Moreover, he had called before he came. Why didn’t they pick up?

Qiao Xi picked up Gu Zheng’s phone, which showed Gu Yao’s missed call. Actually, Gu Yao was in such a rush to see Nine Heavens Chinese Zither. After all, this zither was very famous in the music industry, and Gu Yao liked music very much, so he could not help but run over.

A moment later, Qiao Xi set up the ancient zither and lowered her eyes to think for a moment. Her fingers then moved smoothly on the zither.

Gu Yao listened in fascination. “Is this ‘Everything’? Qiao Xi, you actually know how to play this song? You’re too awesome!”

Everything was extremely difficult to play. Ordinary people were unable to play it. Only skilled musicians could perfectly play it. Gu Yao had only heard this song by chance at a concert. He did not expect Qiao Xi to know how to play it.

In his excitement, Gu Yao forgot that Gu Zheng was standing beside him. He went up to Qiao Xi, his eyes sparkling like the stars in the sky. He said in a childish voice, “Qiao Xi, can you teach me how to play ‘Everything’?”

For the next hour, Qiao Xi patiently taught Gu Yao how to play. The time when Gu Zheng was supposed to be a loving couple with Qiao Xi was all taken up by Gu Yao. Gu Zheng’s expression was indifferent on the surface, but he felt like beating someone up.

When was this kid leaving?

Gu Zheng was really bored. When he was listening to Qiao Xi’s lecture, he was also learning from the side. He quickly grasped the basics of playing the zither. After Gu Yao left, Gu Zheng walked to Qiao Xi’s side and said bitterly, “It’s just the zither. Who doesn’t know how to play it?”

Qiao Xi’s face was filled with surprise. “You know how to play the zither too?”

The man sat down with a straight posture, exuding an elegant and noble aura. His posture was very standard, and his fingers gently landed on the strings. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly. “Yes, I’ll play it for you.”

Qiao Xi was surprised and delighted. She had never heard that Gu Zheng knew how to play the zither, but someone as outstanding as him would definitely stun the entire venue with his skills. Hence, she sat on the sofa with her chin in her hand and looked at the man with anticipation.

In the next second…

The smile on Qiao Xi’s face suddenly vanished, and a trace of embarrassment gradually appeared. “Ah Zheng…”

It was hard to imagine that this elegant and handsome man in front of her could play such an ugly tune. He was clearly very engrossed in playing, but the melody sounded half-dead.

Gu Zheng’s expression was indifferent, and his eyes narrowed slightly. His movements were comparable to that of a professional, and even the rhythm of his fingers was so professional. However, the sound he produced was truly not pleasant. For a moment, Qiao Xi even suspected that there was something wrong with her ears.
