Chapter 58 The Fragrance Makes Me Confused
After giving Cheng Ning a massage, Lu Ran thought for a moment and asked, "Are you interested in the piano?"
Cheng Ning was stunned.
Why are you suddenly asking me this?
Lu Ran smiled and said, "It's nothing. I just saw a painting on your wall depicting a scene of someone learning to play the piano, so I was just asking."
Cheng Ning paused for a moment after hearing this before replying, "When I was little, I wanted to learn the piano, but my family wasn't well-off, so my dad took me to a piano shop and I played it once. This painting is what I drew after I got home that day."
Lu Ran nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."
The piano took up too much space, so he originally planned to move it to the villa. But since Cheng Ning was interested in the piano, he decided to bring it here directly.
Once Cheng Ning's eyesight recovers, she can learn to play the piano and fulfill her childhood dream, achieving multiple goals at once.
Lu Ran stood up and looked around Cheng Ning's house.
Although there isn't much free space, with a little tidying up, we should be able to make room for a piano.
To ensure that it wouldn't affect Cheng Ning's living situation, Lu Ran first searched online to find out how much space a Bösendorfer would take up. Then, he went back to his room to get a measuring tape and went back to Cheng Ning's house to measure it inside and out.
After a flurry of activity, I discovered that I could make room in the living room to place the piano. By slightly rearranging the existing furniture, the room would not only not feel cramped, but it would also make the layout of the room feel more complete.
"Lu Ran".
After hesitating for a long time, Cheng Ning finally couldn't help but call out to Lu Ran.
Lu Ran put away the measuring tape, clapped his hands, and replied, "What's wrong?"
Cheng Ning pursed her lips: "You're not thinking of buying a piano, are you?"
Lu Ran said, "It's not really a purchase, it's just that, well, I already have one, and I didn't know where to put it, so I'm planning to put it at your house."
Cheng Ning bit her lip; she didn't quite believe him.
Rourou said, "Lu Ran, I know nothing about the piano, you don't need to..."
"You can learn slowly if you don't understand. I don't know either. When you can see it more clearly, we'll learn together."
Cheng Ning thought for a while and then said nothing more.
She already owes Lu Ran enough; she could spend her whole life trying to pay it back.
As she thought about it, Cheng Ning's cheeks flushed.
Fearing that Lu Ran would notice something amiss, she pretended to go back to her room to rest.
the next day.
Lu Ran contacted the store directly yesterday, and the store delivered the piano to Lu Ran's neighborhood early this morning.
After moving, assembling, and adjusting the piano, Lu Ran thoroughly tidied up Cheng Ning's house once the piano was installed.
The room's original layout was specifically designed for the lives of blind people, and Cheng Ning is now slowly beginning to regain her sight.
Therefore, Lu Ran doesn't need to worry that changing the situation will make Cheng Ning uncomfortable.
After working on it until the afternoon, it was finally finished.
Lu Ran clapped his hands and stood up, looking at his transformation results with great satisfaction.
Now that Cheng Ning has a piano in her home, it adds a touch of artistic flair.
At this moment, Cheng Ning came out carrying a basin of warm water and said softly, "Lu Ran, wash your face."
Lu Ran didn't stand on ceremony. She picked up a towel from the basin, wrung it out, and washed her face comfortably.
After washing, Lu Ran realized that the towel belonged to Cheng Ning.
"I... I don't have any extra towels here. I'm sorry. Why don't you go back to your place and wash them again?"
Although Cheng Ning's vision was blurry, she could still see Lu Ran's movements.
Seeing Lu Ran staring blankly at the towel, Cheng Ning assumed that Lu Ran was disgusted.
However, little did she know that Lu Ran wasn't disgusted at all, but rather simply confused by the fragrance.
Lu Ran coughed and said, "Ahem, well, now that I've wiped all this sweat off my face, I guess I can't keep this towel."
As he spoke, Lu Ran was about to throw the towel into the trash can.
"I'll go to the supermarket later and buy you a new one."
Cheng Ning hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed his hand, and snatched the towel back.
"What a waste! I... I still need it."
Without waiting for Lu Ran's response, she took the towel and washbasin and headed to the bathroom.
Lu Ran suppressed the upward curve of his lips, went to the piano, opened the sheet music, and played a few notes.
A burst of celestial music followed.
Birds flew away and dogs were frightened.
Seeing the disdainful look in Duoduo's eyes, Lu Ran said unhappily, "What's the meaning of you looking at me with such disdain, you dog?"
"Woof woof!"
"Hey, still yelling? I've picked you up and dropped you off every time, and you really don't appreciate my kindness!"
"Why did you two start arguing?"
Cheng Ning walked out of the bathroom and asked in confusion.
Lu Ran smiled and said, "We didn't argue, we just chatted normally."
Cheng Ning was amused by his words.
Just as she was about to say something, her phone rang. It was Wang Xiaoyan calling.
Cheng Ning took out her phone and answered the call.
"Shinoken."
"Ning, how is your eye recovery going?"
Cheng Ning called Wang Xiaoyan before going abroad, and she called Wang Xiaoyan again after the surgery and upon returning to China. The two were closer than sisters.
Hearing her sisters' concerned inquiries.
Cheng Ning replied softly, "We can already see a little bit."
"Really? That's great!"
"Ning, guess who I ran into today?"
Cheng Ning asked, "Who is it?"
"Lü Caizhi and Hu Wen, those two also ran into each other by chance, and then they ran into me by chance too. Isn't that a coincidence?"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Ning carefully recalled the events before finally finding traces of the two individuals in her memory.
"Really? That's quite a coincidence."
"Ning, judging from your tone, you don't quite remember them?"
Cheng Ning said apologetically, "Yes, I had almost forgotten, but I'm remembering a little now."
"Haha, Ning, if Lü Caizhi knew you don't even remember him, he'd probably cry himself to death in the bathroom. He pursued you back in high school, but you never gave anyone a chance."
"But you made the right choice. I also think Lü Caizhi is a bit lacking. Luckily you ignored him back then. Lu Ran is much more handsome than him."
Cheng Ning blushed and said, "Okay, that was so long ago, let's not talk about it anymore."
The person on the other end of the phone sighed, "It's not that I wanted to say it, it's that they begged me to call you out for a meeting."
"You wouldn't believe it, but Lü Caizhi is quite successful now. He's the owner of a game companion club. Although his job isn't exactly respectable, his company is worth hundreds of millions, so he's really made something of himself."
"You know, once a man achieves success in his career, what he wants most is to see his childhood sweetheart again, you know what I mean."
Cheng Ning replied, "I'm not some 'white moonlight' (ideal love), and I... don't really want to see you."
"But he bothers me every day, he even came to the police station. And Hu Wen, she also really wants to meet you. Back in high school, Hu Wen was pretty good. The clearest memory I have is that one day I asked for leave, and she got you food for me."
Cheng Ning also remembered.
Hu Wen really deserves this respect.
So he said, "Alright then."
"You've agreed to see them?"
Cheng Ning only wanted to see Hu Wen, but she couldn't very well tell someone else to leave.
"Um."
"Okay, Ning, how about tomorrow? I'm off tomorrow. You can bring your Lu Ran, and we can go out for a meal together."
Cheng Ning said shyly, "What? My home?"
"Whether it's yours or not is your own business. Anyway, you'd better bring it with you, otherwise it will cause trouble later. This way, you can also make things clear to Lü Caizhi and make him give up honestly and stop thinking about you, his white moonlight."
