  ********************************************************

  Qin Xian'er's face turned slightly pale with anger, and she glared at him, saying: "Men are all no good. Someone just wanted to talk to you, but you treated them so lightly."

  "Miss Xian'er, don't speak in riddles when there are people around. Your coquettish behavior might work on others, but I'm not so easily fooled. Why don't you just say what you want from me?" Lin Wanrong said bluntly. There's no point in sparring with this little girl, it's better to be straightforward.

  Qin Xian'er's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, and she smiled: "Since Lin Gongzi has said so, Xian'er also doesn't dare to hide anything anymore. Actually, I came to find you because I have some questions about music theory that I wanted to ask for your guidance."

  The girl asked a blind man about the way. Lin Wanrong waved his hand and said, "This is asking the way from a blind man. I don't know the five notes, the five sounds are not complete, when it comes to music, I am completely ignorant."

  Qin Xian'er said with a curious tone: "Hearing you say this, I find it quite strange. How did you manage to find the flaw in my song?"

  "It's very simple," Lin Wanrong said: "Listen more, look more, think more."

  Seeing Qin Xian'er's puzzled eyes, Lin Wanrong explained: "The first two points don't need me to say much, as for the third point, it is the most important. Miss Xian'er's piano skills are indeed superb, but she only imitates her predecessors, with no innovation in technique or composition. Although famous tunes are famous, others will eventually get tired of listening to them and lose their freshness. With your talent, why not try composing your own music? Singing your own compositions can better capture the essence and flavor within."

  Qin Xian'er rarely showed a shy expression and said: "I've thought about composing music myself, but with so many masters lined up in front of me, how dare I show off my skills."

  "This statement is quite wrong. What's the purpose of composing music for oneself? Is it to please others and gain their praise? If that's truly the purpose, then I'll be blunt, Miss Qin, you'll only be able to imitate others your whole life. The guqin is a reflection of one's heart, put simply, it's for one's own pleasure, the primary goal is to make oneself happy, when inspired, write, want to sing, then sing, who cares what others think." Lin Wanrong's absurd reasoning was spoken with conviction.

  "Sing if you want to sing. It's extreme, it's extreme, Master's words awakened me from my dream. I almost fell into the routine and became ordinary." Qin Xian'er exclaimed excitedly.

  "Right, with inspiration, I'll write. Even if no one else appreciates it, there's still myself. For instance, at the moment, the young lady and I are alone in this room, who knows if there's any inspiration? If I were to write a poem about longing for my lord, I guarantee it will be on everyone's lips." After chatting with Qin Xian'er for a few sentences, Lin Wanrong couldn't help but burst into playful laughter.

  Qin Xian'er's face flushed with a hint of red as she said, "Young Master is teasing me again. To be honest, Young Master understands music so well, yet he humbly claims to know nothing about it, surely he must look down on me."

  Lin Wanrong smiled wryly: "The little tunes from my hometown are completely different from those here. The melody is simple, the lyrics straightforward, and even if I told you, you wouldn't understand. Take this one song for example, the lyrics go like this: 'I love you, loving you, just like a mouse loves rice, no matter where you go, I'm willing to accompany you, loving you like that - how's that, can you take it?'"

  Qin Xian'er's face turned red as she lightly scolded: "Where is this from, you're so bold, how can you sing it out loud?"

  This can't be said out loud, and if you were to see lingerie, who knows how embarrassed you'd become.

  Qin Xian'er saw his dazed expression and hastily asked: "Lin Gongzi, what's wrong with you?"

  "Overalls, oh, carrots, I want to eat carrots." Lin Wanrong's old face rarely turned red, and he muttered.

  "Hmph." Qin Xian'er lightly covered her cherry lips, laughing out loud: "You're such a person, one moment clever, the next confused, who knows what's true and what's false."

  "Miss Qin is no exception either?" Lin Wanrong said with a chuckle.

  The two of them fell silent, and Qin Xian'er carefully sized up Lin Wanrong, with a hint of amusement still in her eyes.

  "Mother's, don't tell me you've really taken a liking to me? I'm not made of money to help you buy your freedom. If you're willing to pay the price, this young master might consider it." Lin Wanrong thought to himself.

  After a long time, Qin Xian'er finally spoke up and said: "Are you really a member of the Xiao family?"

  Lin Wanrong shook her long sleeves and said, "As genuine as can be."

  Qin Xian'er sighed and said: "With your talent, why did you become a servant? Lin Gongzi, if you don't mind, I'll help you buy back your freedom."

  Lin Wanrong's brain short-circuited, I was just thinking of helping her redeem herself, how did it become this little girl wanting to help me redeem myself? Is she going to support me?

  Lin Wanrong's face changed color, and Qin Xian'er immediately understood his thoughts. She scolded: "Young Master Lin, what are you thinking? I wanted to ask for your help here."

  Help? Lin Wanrong understood her meaning, she paid the breach of contract to let Lin Wanrong jump over, but the only job suitable for men in this brothel was ****, could it be that she wanted him to degenerate from a house slave to ****, no, it's something that any man can't accept.

  Lin Wanrong hadn't spoken yet when he heard Qin Xian'er continue: "I'd like to invite Young Master Lin over to be my teacher, I wonder if the young master is willing?"

  Become Qin Xian'er's mister? Although he clearly knew that "mister" meant teacher, Lin Wanrong was still stunned for a while thinking of the other implication.

  "What's wrong, Young Master? Are you unwilling?" Qin Xian'er asked hastily as she saw Lin Wanrong remaining silent for a long time.

  Lin Wanrong swallowed a mouthful of saliva, subconsciously licked his lips and said: "Miss Qin, I don't dare to be your teacher. I'm just a servant in the Xiao family, the young master and miss are nice to me, free and easy-going. Besides, what can I teach you, Miss Qin?"

  Qin Xian'er sighed and said: "Young Master's knowledge and insight are beyond what ordinary people can achieve, it seems that I, Xian'er, have bad luck."

  Qin Xian'er's face showed a faint disappointment, her lotus steps moved lightly as she walked slowly to the window and gazed out at the distant green mountains. She said softly: "As you said, we meet people all over the world, but there is no one who truly understands us. I'm here, although everything looks perfect on the surface, but many things are not as simple as they seem."

  Although this Qin Xian'er is unpredictable, after all, she is still a lovely young woman in her early twenties. Her heart is filled with many things. With one glance, her slender figure has a hint of desolation, making people want to hold her in their arms and cherish her dearly.

  Lin Wanrong walked to her side, gazing out with a sigh: "Life is not as one wishes, eight or nine times out of ten. If everything went according to people's wishes, what interest would life have?"

  Qin Xian'er burst out laughing and said: "Lin Gongzi, your words are always so special. Don't worry, I was just pretending to be that way on purpose, wanting you to sympathize with me more, but I didn't expect it would move you to such feelings."

  This Qin Xian'er is indeed eloquent, sometimes ambiguous and sometimes charmingly smiling, truly a versatile witch.

  He is strong and he is strong, the bright moon shines on the great river, Lin Wanrong fully demonstrated the AQ spirit, smiling unintentionally.

  In the distance, a clear whistle sounded, and several fireworks rose to the sky, exploding in mid-air like a beautiful white lotus flower.

  "Huh, whose kid is setting off fireworks?" Lin Wanrong asked in surprise.

  Qin Xian'er's face changed when she saw the white lotus flower, but after hearing Lin Wanrong's words, she couldn't help but burst out laughing and gave him a sideways glance.

  "Lin Gongzi, since you don't want to be my master, can you still come and visit Xian'er often in the future, and chat with me? It makes Xian'er feel very relaxed." Qin Xian'er said.

  "No." Lin Wanrong flatly refused.

  Qin Xian'er was taken aback, as she had never been directly rejected by a man before. She couldn't help but say with a hint of resentment: "Is it that I, Xian'er, am so unworthy in your eyes?"

  Lin Wanrong chuckled and said: "What is this Miao Yu Fang? I'm just a small household servant, how can I come here every day? I don't have the heart for it, nor do I have the silver."

  Qin Xian'er scolded: "Young master, you just like to tease me like this. Hmph, if you don't come, I'll have someone take my name card and go to the Xiao residence to invite you over, hmph."

  Under the familiarity of the two, Qin Xian'er seemed to have changed her temper and was playing with a little girl's temper. Lin Wan Rong's heart still had a few points of joy. Beautiful women are always welcome, he lamented in his heart.

  Qin Xian'er seemed a bit restless, Lin Wanrong knew it was time to take his leave, so he clasped his fists and said: "It's getting late, I've disturbed you today, Miss, please forgive me."

  Qin Xian'er smiled and chided: "Young master, why have you suddenly become so polite again? Xian'er is still a bit unaccustomed to it."

  Lin Wanrong burst out laughing and said: "This face-saving effort is still necessary, lest someone blame me for being too presumptuous with a beauty."

  Qin Xian'er saw him speaking so bluntly and chuckled a few times before sending him out.

  "Miss, you don't have to see me off so far, just up to the gate of Miao Yu Lane will do." Lin Wanrong said with a wave of his hand.

  Qin Xian'er was stunned for a moment. Today, she encountered this thick-skinned Lin Gongzi, and the number of times she was stunned in one night was more than all the previous ones combined. He spoke to her in such a way that she didn't have any intention of refusing him in her heart, but instead felt that he was different from those other young masters.

  "I've brought you here as a gift, Lin Gongzi, take your time." Qin Xian'er hummed.

  Lin Wanrong burst out laughing and walked to the door, suddenly turning his head and saying: "Miss Qin, I have a question for you."

  Qin Xian'er nodded and said, "Please go on."

  "Miss Qin, can you really sing or not?" Lin Wanrong asked with a smile.

  Qin Xian'er: "..."
