The host of the room should be a bit older than Hua Xin, but it's also very suitable for Hua Xin. It feels like 30% has Hua Xin's personality, and 70% seems to be a bit too mature.

  The small child in his arms was so soft. Dong Qingyuan had undone Pei Huaxin's shirt and was gently stroking the wounds on his body. The faint whimpering sounds coming from Pei Huaxin's ear made Dong Qingyuan feel his heart beating slightly faster, but that was all it could be. After all, he was still just a child.

  This child has also been quite ruthless to himself... so many scars... Dong Qingyuan took out a bottle of ointment from his bosom and carefully applied it to each wound on Pei Huaxin's body. Pei Huaxin opened his eyes, taking in the seriousness and concern in Dong Qingyuan's eyes. However, at this moment, Dong Qingyuan couldn't see the subtle changes in Pei Huaxin's eyes. His slender fingers applied the ointment to the wounds, repeatedly rubbing it in.

  "Uncle, it's so itchy." Yuan Shuhuan had also asked Pei Huaxin if he wanted to remove the scars on his body, but it was terminated due to Pei Huaxin's refusal.

  "Hua Xin is a girl with many scars on her body, which don't look good." Dong Qingyuan's eyes were full of love and concern. He also knew that Pei Hua Xin didn't want to get rid of these scars. But he could always change Hua Xin's mind. Let's start changing from here step by step. Dong Qingyuan also knew that such things couldn't be rushed. So, it was better to change gradually. He had never been an impatient person, and for such matters, he couldn't afford to be impatient either."

  Hua Xin lowered her head, and the scar looked even more hideous in contrast to Dong Qingyuan's slender fingers. Hua Xin couldn't help but feel a little dazed at this comparison, and she began to doubt whether she had been wrong all these years. Had she really harmed her own body? What had she ultimately gained from it?

  Dong Qingyuan interpreted for himself what it means to be a gentleman like jade. Although that was just Dong Qingyuan's representation of himself, there were also his reasons behind such a representation.

  Bai Huaxin suddenly felt a little confused. Were the things she had done all these years really worth it? Those scars were all her memories of him. Each scar reminded her of the mistakes she had made. Uncle also made mistakes sometimes, how did he solve them?

  Mother had also done wrong before. Such things are not just about oneself. Huaxin felt that the more she thought, the more confused she became. Unconsciously, she had already asked her own questions out loud.

  "It's not scary to do something wrong. Nobody is perfect and everyone has made mistakes before. What's more important is how we make up for it. For me and your mother, there's a big difference in this aspect. When I realize I've done something wrong, the first thing that comes to mind is how to minimize the damage."

  "Mother would rather make up for everything." Yuan Shu Han was not someone who knew how to let go, or perhaps she never had such a choice in her heart. If she couldn't get everything, then it was better to get nothing at all. This was probably Yuan Shu Han's way of doing things. Pei Hua Xin also deeply understood this point.

  "Will Huaxin play the piano?" Dong Qingyuan had already applied the ointment evenly to Pei Huaxin's hands at this point, and then gently helped Pei Huaxin put his clothes back on properly. This was a good opportunity to show himself as a gentleman. Moreover, since Huaxin was awake now, there was no need to take him to sleep anymore.

  When you wake up, do what you should do when you wake up. Dong Qingyuan is a person who can adapt to any situation. Facing such a child, it's even more necessary to be nice to them. Otherwise, there may not be another chance to see this child again. Yuan Shuhuan's opposition means nothing to Dong Qingyuan. After all, Dong Qingyuan has always been disliked by Yuan Shuhuan. This is something that Dong Qingyuan has also gotten used to.

  When Dong Qingyuan is with Yuan Shuhuan, he can think of all the good things about Pei Huaxin. But when he's with Pei Huaxin, he often thinks of Yuan Shuhuan again. This complexity makes Dong Qingyuan himself feel confused. Does he like Yuan Shuhuan or does he like Pei Huaxin?

  "Okay." Pei Huaxin lowered her head, slightly embarrassed. But Dong Qingyuan could hear the pride in Pei Huaxin's voice, that desire to be praised. Dong Qingyuan simply patted Pei Huaxin on the head and then pointed to the guqin placed beside them. "Huaxin, play a piece for Uncle, okay?"

  Hua Xin nodded shyly and then walked to the piano desk, ready to play. Dong Qingyuan watched with wide eyes as the previously shy girl transformed into a calm demeanor.

  Bai Huaxin simply plucked the strings lightly, and her entire demeanor changed completely. It turned out that this wasn't Yu Shuhan's exclusive skill after all. Bai Huaxin could also do something like this. With just a light pluck of the strings, Bai Huaxin's music seemed to change the world entirely.

  The melody has not yet begun, but the emotions have already been infused into it. Such a gift, Dong Qingyuan had never seen before. Yuan Shuheng put so many instruments here for this reason. Dong Qingyuan now finally understands. It turns out that this is not because Yuan Shuheng did not follow Pei Huaxin's personality, but because these things are what Pei Huaxin needs.

  Bai Huaxin's talent in this aspect is unprecedented, at least for now. The piano sound started out very simple, which Dong Qingyuan could understand. Because Bai Huaxin was indeed a bit too young. If she couldn't even master such a simple piece, then what's the point of playing other pieces?

  Furthermore, this is a five-stringed instrument, which is extremely difficult to play. Bai Huaxin is just a child after all. At the age of five, being able to reach such a level is already quite impressive.

  Dong Qingyuan sat behind Pei Huaxin, grasping the hands that were playing the zither. Then, together with Pei Huaxin, he began to play the strings again. It was a duet of "Longing for Each Other". Dong Qingyuan wasn't a simple person, and doing this kind of thing also had his own thoughts. Dong Qingyuan's appearance while playing the zither was extremely good-looking. Pei Huaxin watched him, entranced...

  They say that the sound of the zither is the sound of the heart. However, Pei Huaxin discovered that he couldn't hear Dong Qingyuan's inner voice at all. This was the most puzzling thing. It was as if Dong Qingyuan had no emotions when playing the zither. But with this song "Longing to be Together", Pei Huaxin could somehow sense it. At least, Dong Qingyuan had put his heart into it.

  "Dong Qingyuan's methods are indeed something else. No wonder Hua Xin can't take it. This isn't your problem, after all. You couldn't have done such a thing back then." It's not that Pei Mingxuan is worse than Dong Qingyuan, but in this aspect, he's actually much better. This isn't Pei Mingxuan's problem. They were never people from the same world to begin with.

  Yu Shu Huan glanced at Hua Xin's eyes, completely enchanted by Dong Qing Yuan's tactics. Such methods of Dong Qing Yuan's could really make few women resist. Even Yu Shu Huan herself couldn't guarantee that she wouldn't be affected by such tactics. If Yu Shu Huan had met Dong Qing Yuan for the first time with this kind of feeling between them.

  So Yu Shu Huan really couldn't guarantee that he could withstand it. Fortunately, at that time, things were not like this between them. That's why Yu Shu Huan was able to be so hostile towards Dong Qing Yuan. It seems that the environment also plays a role in shaping one's behavior. Moreover, Pei Ming Xuan was already by his side at that time. All previous assumptions are invalid here.

  Yuan Shu Han looked at Pei Ming Xuan on the side. In fact, Yuan Shu Han also knew a little about playing the piano. I believe Pei Ming Xuan must also know how to play. So, is it possible that they can find some time to have fun like this too? At that time, Pei Ming Xuan will definitely look better than Dong Qing Yuan.

  As for Pei Hua Xin and Dong Qing Yuan, Yuan Shu Han has decided not to intervene now. Such things should not be intervened in the first place. If she intervenes, who knows if the child will suddenly develop a rebellious psychology. All of this will only make things worse. It's better to let things take their natural course like now. Although Yuan Shu Han doesn't know if she'll regret it later.

  But one thing that Book Hee is still able to hold on to is that his own child is not a weak and fragile being. Bae Hua Xin, although previously always showing a very fragile side, this actually proves her strength. If she wasn't a strong person, how would she be able to constantly face this matter?

  Even if Pei Hua Xin's chosen approach is not correct, it cannot change this fact.

  "Uncle teaches Huaxin to play the piano, is it good? Huaxin has never met someone like Uncle before..." Although she couldn't hear Dong Qingyuan's inner voice, Pei Huaxin still fell in love with Dong Qingyuan's piano sound. Such high-level piano skills, Pei Huaxin found herself completely unable to control herself.

  Dazed until this song is completely over, still entranced and unable to come back to senses. Dong Qingyuan's skill in this aspect has never been shown even in front of the emperor, but now it's being used to please a child. However, Dong Qingyuan doesn't think this is a waste of great talent on trivial matters.

  At least now he has found a way to communicate with Bae Hua Xin, as long as the two people can communicate, Dong Qingyuan firmly believes that he can achieve his own goals.

  "Hua Xin likes it, Uncle will naturally be willing to teach you." Dong Qingyuan's piano skills were taught by his mother since he was a child. However, after his mother passed away, Dong Qingyuan rarely played the piano. Today, not only did he open the door for Pei Hua Xin, but also paved a bright road for himself. When Dong Qingyuan realized this, the song had already ended.

  Long time to come, long time to rely on each other. Is this the requirement for Pei Hua Xin? The feeling of growing old together is what mother has always yearned for in her life. But I have always just smiled it off.

  "They are harmonious, I saw that there's nothing between them tonight." Yuan Shu-han thought so. At least for now, Dong Qing-yuan hasn't made Pei Hua-xin disgusted. If something happens later... can this piano still play out a 3-4-5 rhythm?"

  Yu Shu Han was quite skeptical about this. Probably because Pei Hua Xin had always been obedient and sensible. Moreover, this was something that had already been entrusted to Dong Qing Yuan. Dong Qing Yuan probably wouldn't forget his promise so soon either. Pei Ming Xuan looked at Yu Shu Han without the usual friendliness. Although when Dong Qing Yuan played the piano...

  It's roughly the same as Huaxin. Completely changed into a different person.
