"I will." Chi Longting nodded.
"Let's go, Xu Lin. Don't interact too much with people like that in the future. Smoking is never a good deal!"
Chi Longting scratched his head, a bit embarrassed.
Then, Chi Longting saw his sister sitting on Xu Lin's electric bike, riding off together.
"Xu Lin, see you later!"
Chi Longting shouted from behind.
Xu Lin: "Goodbye!"
"Could he end up being my brother-in-law?"
Chi Longting was curious, seeing his sister holding onto Xu Lin's shoulders, her chin almost touching his, looking like she was about to lean on his back.
That posture was a bit too intimate.
"Curious about what your grandfather used to do? He seems to have a very unique presence."
Xu Lin asked casually while driving.
During dinner, the old man couldn't help but praise Xu Lin, thinking he was quite remarkable.
Xu Lin didn't think of himself as exceptional. He felt he had just unlocked a buff; otherwise, at other times, he was just an ordinary guy. As for how he looked, it wasn't important. How many big figures in the world have good looks? Aren't they mostly average looking? Some of them, by current beauty standards, are even quite ugly.
"He used to be an official, but he retired later on," Chi Linyue said.
"Was he a high-ranking official then?"
"Yeah, quite high. He was just a step away from the core of power. But now it's like a world apart; he's already retired."
Chi Linyue said, "My grandfather used to be in the army, so even though he's over eighty, he's very robust. He had a checkup recently, and he's healthier than most elderly people!"
"You can tell; he has that energetic vibe."
Xu Lin was rather surprised, not expecting that Chi Lingri was a high-ranking official.
Xu Lin never thought he would come into contact with such people. Even someone like Yu Jianhua was already quite something in Xu Lin's eyes, someone he wouldn't even get a chance to talk to if they weren't familiar.
"My grandfather really thinks highly of you. He even told me earlier to take extra care of you."
"How should you take care of me?"
"How do you want to be taken care of?"
Chi Linyue pinched Xu Lin's earlobe, "If you have a girlfriend, don't overthink things. You little rascal, what's on your mind?"
"Sis, you're so pretty, it's hard not to think about it. It's only human nature, right?"
Xu Lin smiled mischievously.
"Focus on driving!"
"Okay."
Chi Linyue decided to change the topic, "I've been reading your recent novel. Do you also compose music? Was that piece you?"
That day, when Xu Lin posted a video, Chi Linyue saw it. After listening to it, she was quite surprised and really liked the piece.
"I composed it."
"How do you know how to compose music? And your guitar playing is quite good, not inferior to those great guitarists."
Chi Linyue said in astonishment, "And the piece is particularly nice, but I don't have a guitar at home, otherwise I'd love to hear you play."
"When you're out and about, you need to have some skills, right?"
"You're pretty amazing!"
Chi Linyue admired.
Over half an hour later, Xu Lin arrived at Chi Linyue's house.
"I'll go change clothes first!"
Chi Linyue hung up her bag.
"I'll grab a bottle of red wine."
"Go ahead."
With that, Chi Linyue entered the room with elegant steps, and Xu Lin watched for a moment, his heart slightly stirred.
The allure of a top-tier older woman, it's unimaginable!
While Chi Linyue was changing, Xu Lin also took a bottle of red wine from the wine cabinet, pulled out the cork, and started drinking directly from the bottle while walking around the house.
Chi Linyue's house was a 400+ square meter large flat, with plenty of space and many rooms.
This is when he pushed open a half-closed door.
This was Chi Linyue's piano room. Xu Lin had noticed it before but didn't pay much attention.
He wasn't particularly into musical instruments, although he had learned piano for a while as a child.
Back then, there was a piano craze. If the family had a little means, parents would enroll their children in piano lessons, afraid their kids would fall behind. Ms. Ren was one of them, but Xu Lin soon lost interest. Ms. Ren didn't insist, so they just gave up.
Gulp.
At this moment, Chi Linyue came out of the room. She was wearing very ordinary home clothes, a long-sleeve top and thin home pants. But with her good figure, even simple clothes were impressive.
She saw Xu Lin looking at the piano from the doorway.
"I learned piano as a kid, haven't played in ages."
Chi Linyue walked over, smiling, "I reached level ten back then, want to see me play a little?"
Xu Lin was also in the mood, "I'd love to hear it!"
Chi Linyue went inside with Xu Lin, adjusted the piano's sound a bit, then sat down at the piano, placing her delicate hands on the keys and playing a few random notes.
"I haven't played in a while, feels a bit rusty. Let me get into the groove first."
Chi Linyue sat there pondering for a bit, then after a while, she got into the swing of it and started playing.
She played the first movement of Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata."
But Xu Lin didn't recognize this piece. After all, he knew next to nothing about piano.
Soon, the piece ended.
"A bit rusty, almost forgot it."
Chi Linyue turned to Xu Lin, "What did you think?"
"How about playing it one more time?"
Xu Lin suggested.
"The same piece?"
"Yeah."
Actually, while watching Chi Linyue play the first movement just now, Xu Lin had basically memorized the technique. With his extraordinary memory, by paying close attention, he could quickly remember it.
"Alright, I'll play it again!"
Since Xu Lin appreciated her piano playing, Chi Linyue started the second round.
This time, as Chi Linyue finished playing, Xu Lin had already memorized how to play this piano piece.
"I want to give it a try too!"
At this moment, Xu Lin spoke up again.
