Chapter Three, if one day you want me to take responsibility, I will repay you.

After saying a few simple opening remarks, Bai Meiren elegantly sat in front of the piano and skillfully played a perfect melody...

After half an hour of rest.

After letting her vent, Nangong Ying then comforted and guided her, saying, "Okay, okay, it's just a joke, you've let out your anger, don't cry anymore, okay?"

His anger, his indifference, his wickedness, and the expression of his happiness and satisfaction... all flashed through her mind one by one.

On Nangong Ying's beautiful face, there was unexpectedly a childish and coquettish expression.

If he didn't mishear just now, the theater manager called her...! An Qing!

You're talking nonsense! An Qing picked up a broom next to her and raised it as if to drive him away. "Are you leaving or not?"

Bang!

Nangong Ying did not answer, but stood up from the chair with a smile on his face. He stretched out his long arm and pulled her waist into his arms! ... Then, he gracefully leaned down, aimed at her lips, and gently kissed them.

He has seen many girls who are more beautiful than her, but she is the only one who makes his heart beat so fast in an instant.

With hollow eyes, Anqing looked ahead as if she had thought of something. She took a breath and said lightly, "Are you familiar with this place?"

Anqing, standing in a corner below the stage, felt a dizzying sensation. She thought that truly beautiful women are not controlled by time, just like Bai Meiren. Ten years have passed, and it seems that time has not left any traces on her beautiful face.

A narrow corridor, with dim lighting.

It's just because a half picture of silver wisteria blooming in the background flashed through her mind, but she associated it with that person. It's really a bit funny... It must be... She misses that person too much...

An Qing forced herself to remain calm, carefully pouring tea for the middle-aged couple, but couldn't help feeling puzzled. Although they were just having a simple conversation, it didn't feel like the atmosphere a family should have. According to her deep-seated memories, family members should not be so polite to each other.

Isn't that Bai Meiren's son? Oh my god, he actually did such a thing at his own mother's concert!

However, there are countless people with the same name in the world, it's not possible to be that coincidental...

Facing Manager Dong's furious scolding, An Qing felt a surge of bitterness in her heart. She felt extremely wronged but didn't know how to defend herself: "Manager, I apologize for the negative impact on the theater...".

Liu Jingze seemed somewhat dissatisfied with her response, and then disdainfully snorted, "What do you mean by 'considered'? Or is it because I ruined your clothes last time, so this time you're using such a crude means to 'repay' me?"

Liu Jingze agilely jumped up from the sofa!

Lady Liu is, after all, a person of great cultivation. Although she felt displeased, she only said lightly, "You may leave."

But Nangong Ying obviously had been prepared, tightly holding her body with both arms, making her unable to move at all!

It has long been heard that Bai Meiren and her son are not getting along, it seems that there is some truth to the matter...

Anqing didn't know why these few words suddenly flashed in her mind. He was clearly such a cold and ruthless person.

South Palace Ying slightly frowned and waved his hand to signal him to leave.

Because of a special bond, this name has always been deeply engraved in his heart, never forgotten.

Out of the box in the corridor not far, she saw him again.

She frowned unhappily and said, "Stop being disgusting here!"

After entering the lounge and sitting down for a short while, Manager Dong angrily stormed in, his face turning purple with rage. He glared at her and shouted incoherently, "An Qing! Are you intentionally causing trouble in the theater? How dare you seduce Bai Meiren's son? Do you know that you have offended Bai Meiren? The entire theater will suffer in the future! Why don't you take a look at yourself in the mirror? How dare you try to seduce the charming and elegant young master Nangong Ying!" Do you know that you have offended Bai Meiren? The entire theater will suffer in the future! Why don't you take a look at yourself in the mirror? How dare you try to seduce the charming and elegant young master Nangong Ying!"

Angry and anxious, An Qing could only glare at him fiercely!

Bai Meiren's performance is still ongoing.

The teapot heavily knocked on the table.

The elegant middle-aged woman asked in a low voice, her tone polite and courteous, leaving Anqing unable to guess the relationship between them.

"Are you okay?" The faint voice, it's hard to tell if it's out of concern or just a matter of routine.

Anqing sensed his intention and instinctively took a step back, avoiding his hand. She hastily wiped her cheek and forcefully sniffed her nose, then said, "You made me lose a day's wages, and I also hit you. Now we're even!"

You clean up, I will definitely not disturb you. Nangong Ying, however, stubbornly followed along.

It's considered so. She patiently and sincerely lowered her head and said. This time it was her fault, and apologizing could make her feel better.

She straightened her body reluctantly, forcefully pushing back the tears in her eyes, her gaze determined and clear.

She suddenly realized that she had been played by him. Angrily, she shook off his hand and said, "What are you doing? You almost scared me to death!"

The theater suddenly became unusually quiet.

Liujingze saw her like this, slightly frowned and said, "Um... should we go to the hospital and have a check-up?"

What a troublemaker! Manager Dong was extremely frustrated, "I just hired you, and you've already caused such a big disaster!"

Okay, wait for my message! She blew a kiss and reluctantly left.

Anna was startled. She didn't seem to use much force just now, how did she fall down?

While he was lost in thought, An Qing had already panicked and avoided him, rushing out the door.

Blow blow ?

The arm was suddenly grabbed: "Don't go... If you help me blow on it, it won't hurt anymore."

Nangong Ying had a wounded expression on his face: "Well then, I'll leave first... After all, there's still a long way to go." He took a few steps, but suddenly turned around and, with a mysterious and teasing tone, said, "So you like the melancholic and aloof type of guys, huh!"

A burst of exclamation erupted from the crowd!

But even though he reacted quickly, a large area of his high-end casual pants still got wet, and the scalding hot tea water stung his skin, causing him to furrow his brow involuntarily.

He actually took away her first kiss! What a despicable guy!

It's up to you. An Qing said lightly, "I'm going to clean up. Please don't disturb me anymore."

She held a teapot in her hand, feeling the urge to turn and flee, but her body stiffened. After a moment, she resolutely walked forward.

The lounge was silent.

He gazed at her and slowly reached out his hand to wipe away her tears.

Nangong Ying did not answer directly. Her gaze fell thoughtfully on the stage as she quietly asked, "What do you think of her performance?"

An Qing glared at him angrily.

安晴冷冷地瞟了他一眼: "不说算了。" 然后站起来准备离开。

The audience has started to discuss animatedly.

Nangong Ying embraced her hands and looked at her with great interest, as if she had found a pet she liked.

Unconsciously, tears surged from the corners of her eyes. She gritted her teeth and gradually lost strength as she pounded on Nangong Ying's hand.

I kept it for no reason. He seemed completely ungrateful, his voice still as cold as ever.

A young man leans against the wall, with a slender and handsome figure, and a perfect profile with distinct edges and corners.

Liu Jingze did not look at her, and his voice was filled with a sense of inquiry.

After a thrilling performance of a piano piece, there was a long delay before sporadic applause broke out in the audience, mixed with some mocking hisses.

After giving him a glare, An Qing didn't want to argue with him anymore. After crying for a while, she only felt exhausted and leaned against the edge of the stage, planning to take a short break.

Startled, Anqing regained her composure and picked up the crumpled piece of paper. She unfolded it, revealing a note filled with creases: "Come here, I need to talk to you."

Pu--.

Anna stood wearily on the empty stage, looking down at the silent audience seats. Her final task for today was to clean the theater, but she seemed to be in no mood for it. After busying herself for a while, she slumped down at the edge of the stage, revealing a lonely expression.

Nangong Ying took the opportunity to tease and make fun: "It's both hitting and scolding. If someone who doesn't know sees it, they might think we are a couple having a quarrel. I don't mind, but if you are misunderstood as my girlfriend, then you...

South Palace Ying turned back and blinked at her: "We've met before, I think you must still remember me, right?"

There was a pause in Anqing's footsteps. Did she hear it correctly? Was he just showing concern for her?

安晴惊愕地看着在眼前骤然放大的那双魅惑凤眼 , 纤长的睫毛如两片完美的羽毛轻轻颤动 , 带着一丝慵懒挑衅与不羁 , 非常迷人。

The concert will start on time.

Start of Translation 安晴 turned her head in astonishment and stared at the handsome and charming face that was so close to her, feeling inexplicably flustered. End of Translation

One day's grievances, one day's anger, one day's unwillingness all erupted at this moment, and she vented her anger on this young man with both fists and feet!

Sunlight pours in from outside, outlining the slender figure of the young man into a dreamy silhouette.

Wait a moment, wait a moment. Nangong Ying quickly grabbed her.

An Qing also recognized who the person she collided with was. She glanced at him with teary eyes and felt even more inexplicably uncomfortable in her heart.

After a long silence.

She felt relieved, immediately packed up the teapot, and fled in a panic.

I didn't mean to do it! Upon hearing him say this, An Qing became anxious and her emotions became somewhat out of control.

Hello!

Hehe... Actually, I'm not quite sure. I only know that they just came back from England. However, if you want to know, I can help you inquire. But the premise is that you have to tell me what exactly you want to inquire about.

He didn't have time to speak, and he started promoting himself: "Actually, considering me might be better than liking him. Loving that kind of person is tiring, but I will definitely make you happy..."

No problem, if you don't accompany me to play, I will find you to play!

Nangong Ying paused and pondered for a moment before asking in return, "I can tell you, but you have to tell me why you want to know about that family?"

An Qing bit her lip, hesitating to say, "He... seems to be called Liu Jingze."

At a glance, he recognized her, but when he saw tears streaming down her face, his gaze suddenly froze, and his stiff tone carried a hint of confusion: "Stop crying, you clearly bumped into me just now!"

I am not one of those girls!

A tall figure of a young boy silently approached her and slowly sat down beside her.

That was a handsome young man with a hint of enchanting smile at the corner of his lips. The silver-blue hair color made him stand out in the crowd, resembling the protagonist in "Final Fantasy".

He is the charming young man Nangong Ying that she had seen when cleaning the stage that night. When she saw him staring at her with his enchanting phoenix eyes, she hesitated for a moment before walking over with confusion.

Although An Qing did not understand why he asked this, she still answered casually: "Very good." She didn't know much about the piano, but Bai Meiren was known as the "Piano Queen", and her level was undoubtedly first-class.

The middle-aged couple hurried over. Madam Liu looked at her son with concern and asked anxiously, "Jingze, are you okay? Did you get burned?"

Gold stars were flashing before her eyes. She bit her lip, but still couldn't hold back her tears. Two transparent tears rolled down her white and tender skin like pearls.

After he finished speaking, he turned around, frustratedly opened the door to leave, but was startled by the young man standing outside the door! His face suddenly changed, and he anxiously prepared to greet him.

Jingze, you just returned to the country not long ago, are you still accustomed to living here?

She still hasn't spoken, and Nangong Ying took the initiative to hit the volcano: "Are you savoring the kiss just now?"

She walked slowly with the tea in her hand, and her gaze inadvertently glanced at the other people in the room, only to find that it was Liujing Ze. He was also sitting next to her, scrutinizing her intently.

Yes, I'm sorry! An Qing's face turned pale with fright. She stared at him with wide eyes, paralyzed and almost forgetting to move.

At this moment, the beautiful woman under the spotlight on the stage suddenly paled in comparison!

Anqing walked into the VIP room with a teapot in her hand and saw an elegant middle-aged couple. A professional smile appeared on her face.

An Qing, of course he remembers this name.

It is said that the piano is her pride, and her happiest thing is to stand on the stage, enjoying the admiration of the crowd. She has indeed achieved success, at least on the surface, everything seems so perfect. Nangong Ying smiled slightly, but An Qing felt a hint of obvious contempt in his smile.

Ann Qing is already at a loss.

A white shadow flashed before her eyes, and a paper ball suddenly fell at her feet with a breeze!

Liu Jingze lowered his head and glanced at the wet part of his pants. The scalding tea had long gone cold. He handed her the bag in his right hand and said, "Here, it's yours. You dropped it that day."

Just coming out of the restroom, Liu Jingze did not see the scene that had just happened in the theater.

No problem, it's not burnt.

Nangong Ying didn't think much about it and nodded, "It's okay, what's wrong?"

She secretly observed Liu Jingze for a moment. His expression was very respectful, but his voice seemed somewhat distant: "Hmm, thank you for your concern, I am very used to where I live."

Oh... An Qing was taken aback, feeling a slight chill in her heart. "Actually, I was just asking casually. Don't take it seriously. You don't need to check..."

On Nangong Ying's handsome face, a touch of innocence and grievance immediately appeared: "It's really a failure. Just think about how many girls would be so happy that they would almost faint if I just blew them a kiss, but you...".

She was suddenly surprised and nervous. She intended to wipe the water on the table, but forgot that she was still holding the teapot in her hand. It was not until she realized this that she reacted.

Why did he see my embarrassing side like this...

She didn't realize it until he spoke to her: "Little duck, what are you thinking about?"

I'll go to the restroom first," said Liu Jingze. After finishing speaking, he glared at the "culprit" with a tense face and strode out of the private room.

Nan Gongying looked at her silently with her head down: her black hair was loosely tied into a bun, giving her a sweet look similar to the female lead in a Korean drama; her smooth skin was delicate like porcelain, and her big eyes were like pearls staring at him, faintly shimmering with tears, with a stubbornness that resembled that of a child, yet also exuding a charming and alluring aura.

She gritted her teeth and endured the pain as she climbed up from the ground, limping forward.

As she spoke, she became panicked and flustered, and immediately wanted to leave to seek help.

Anqing's thoughts paused for three seconds, thinking that she had misheard. She turned back suspiciously.

Based on his good looks, he flirts with women everywhere...

Okay, since you want to stay here, your father and I have discussed it and we respect your opinion. We will contact the school for you in the next few days.

Before he finished speaking, An Qing had already stopped her angry cursing and her face turned slightly red.

Her smile is so bright and dazzling.

Thank you.

Are you okay?

Upon closer inspection, there was a hint of melancholy in his demeanor.

The tea you requested is here, sir and madam.

As Anqing listened, she began to lose focus. Once a certain memory in her heart was triggered, it would occupy her thoughts for a long time. She had once taken a photo with her brother Junxi, leaning against each other in a silver wisteria bush. Unfortunately, the photo later went missing, perhaps taken away by Junxi.

He released the girl in his arms.

Is there something I can help you with?

When she saw someone coming towards her, she was unable to stop in time and collided heavily with them, then fell to the ground in an ungraceful position.

There was no intention for Nangong Ying to leave, and she leaned against her with great interest, silently watching her.

Ah...

It was because of his inexplicable kiss that caused a series of troubles, which made An Qing extremely annoyed. She pushed him hard and said, "Stay away from me!"

The kiss between the two of them in front of everyone's eyes drew all the attention from the audience.

It's my turn to pour tea into the last cup. She lowered her head and walked towards the boy who had crossed paths with her quite a bit in the past two days.

安晴 stood awkwardly in place, bowing her head in shame and saying, "Sir and Madam..."

The scalding hot tea splashed everywhere!

安晴颇为惊讶。 translates to Anqing was quite surprised.

The stage is over one meter high from the ground. He immediately cried out in pain, "I just kissed you, there's no need for you to retaliate so harshly, right? Oh no, oh no, my leg is probably going to be useless now!"

She watched him carefully, her voice as low as a mosquito.

No, no need. After saying this with her head down, she covered her face and walked quickly past him, heading towards the lounge.

"Ouch, my foot can't move, is it broken? It hurts so much..." Nangong Ying's beautiful face wrinkled into a frown, with a very genuine expression, inexplicably arousing people's pity.

In the eyes of Nangong Ying, a touch of prideful light flashed.

So what?

Wow!

Nangong Ying stood outside the door like a sculpture, silently gazing at the girl inside. The delicate features on her face revealed a stubbornness that refused to admit defeat, and the blush on her cheeks was thought-provoking like flower petals... When he held her just now, he noticed that her body was unusually thin, which instantly evoked a feeling of tenderness in his heart...

Nangong Ying pretended to be serious: "This won't do. Since I promised you, even if you regret it, I will definitely find out the truth for the sake of that kiss."

Angry, Anqing gave him a disdainful look: "As long as you appear in my sight, you will disturb me!" How can there be such a cheeky boy, and he happens to be so handsome!

She struggled hard to break free from him.

South Palace Ying raised his handsome eyebrows and said, "Is it him?"

On the magnificent and clean stage, a precious and shiny black piano is placed in the center. The beautiful and elegant Bai Meiren walks onto the stage in a noble and dignified evening gown, and the spotlight shines on her one after another.

Yes.

The lingering warmth and moist touch on the lips remain, as if in a dream, so unreal...

She instinctively lifted her head and met the gaze of a certain person in the front row of the audience.

Nangong Ying was unprepared and was pushed by her, her body swayed, and she fell off the stage.

I vaguely feel that there is a gaze following her. Scenes of her encounters with him in the past two days keep replaying in her mind, especially that night. She wonders whether she climbed onto the tatami herself or, as he said, he carried her over...

Her face turned slightly red, avoiding his gaze, and for a moment she felt a bit embarrassed.

Are you expressing concern for me?

安晴一怔, 伸手接过上次买的套装, 由衷地朝他投去一个感激的眼神: "Thank you."

It seems that Anqing did not understand, and asked uncertainly, "What did you just say?"

安晴不悦地甩开他的手, 却没有再走, 只静静地等着他的答案。 Translated Result: An Qing shook off his hand unhappily, but didn't leave. She just stood there quietly, waiting for his answer.

Anqing's face was pale as paper, with a mix of embarrassment and anger in her expression, as she fixed her gaze on the young man standing against the backlight.

Sorry, but I definitely did not seduce Nangong Ying, it was him... An Qing's words were not finished when Manager Dong impatiently interrupted, "Alright, I don't want to hear your nonsense! Today's matter is hereby dropped, but your wages for a day must be deducted to make you use your brain! Don't embarrass yourself like this again in the future!"

These comments reached Bai Meiren's ears on stage, and her body immediately stiffened, her face turning pale! The piano piece continued, but it almost went off-key several times, obviously falling short of her previous standards.

A deep and slightly annoyed voice interrupted her reverie.

Do you know the person surnamed Liu in the VIP room today?

She trembled in her heart: "You, stop pretending, this is only so high..."

He couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart.

In the theater, so many pairs of eyes were staring at her, as if trying to see through her. Waves of heat rushed from the roots of her ears, and her cheeks burned like hot iron. She felt both embarrassed and angry, with a sourness in her eyes, completely ignoring the jerk who had inexplicably taken her first kiss, and quickly turned and fled.

Do you know him?

She suddenly lowered her head and found that the water in the teacup had already overflowed, flowing on the table like branching streams...

Bang--.

Half-believing and half-doubting, Anqing jumped off the stage and squatted beside him, not knowing where he was injured and not daring to touch him. She repeatedly asked, "Where are you hurt? Does it hurt a lot? It's not really broken, is it... Don't scare me! What should I do? I'll call an ambulance..."

Bad guy! Jerk! Despicable fellow!

She smiled self-deprecatingly.

Just remember. He smiled calmly, with a hint of mysterious implication in his words. "If one day you want me to take responsibility, I will repay you."

She kept running with her head down, unable to understand why such absurd things would happen. Who did she offend to deserve such bad luck? The day before yesterday, she was forced to spend the night at the garbage dump, and today, inexplicably, her first kiss was taken away by someone, and in front of so many people! How can she face anyone in the future?

Who wants to start over with you? This girl is not interested in playing with you!

Her gaze intentionally and unintentionally swept across the crowded audience, searching for a certain figure.

I called Feng's butler to send a set of clothes over.

She didn't have the patience to listen to his nonsense and prepared to turn around and return to her original position.

The shadow of Nangong emerged with a mocking smile: "In that so-called upper-class society circle, I have heard his name, but the rest is still unclear for now."

"Is that so?" Nan Gongying giggled, "Well, that's perfect. Let's start over from the beginning."

The concert has finally ended.
