Chapter 643 - Su Wan, Go To Hell!
Chapter 643: Su Wan, Go To Hell!
The emperor’s eyes narrowed slightly as he swept his gaze across the stack of somewhat old music scores.
He had originally wanted to throw away all the music scores that Fiennes had found, but after careful consideration, he realized that some of them were out of print. Although he could get someone to make a new copy, it was still not good.
At the same time, Jiang Xuecheng had also sent people to find quite a number of other music scores and had basically gathered all the remaining music scores.
The two of them were now officially dating. He took out these music scores to show his sincerity and did not want to hide it from Su Wan. On the other hand, he also wanted to see Su Wan’s attitude.
He did not like to be lied to, but he hated half-heartedness.
Su Wan obviously knew Jiang Xuecheng’s character. This man was terrifyingly possessive, but probably because they liked each other, that was not a problem.
Su Wan raised her head and looked at Jiang Xuecheng with a solemn expression.
“Then help me find a time to thank him. There’s really nothing going on between me and Fiennes. If you don’t like him, I won’t keep in touch with him in the future.”
In fact, Su Wan did not have much contact with Fiennes either. The reason why they got along in the first place was because Su Wan was in a hurry to fix Nono.
Jiang Xuecheng narrowed his eyes. He was a little happy when he heard Su Wan’s stammering words.
He reached out and brushed Su Wan’s hair by her ear. His eyes were gentle.
“I don’t mean to stop you from communicating with others normally, but just don’t cross the line.”
Su Wan nodded at Jiang Xuecheng. She wanted to change the topic as soon as possible, so she immediately waved at Jiang Xuecheng.
“Your Highness, let me play a song for you.”
Seeing Jiang Xuecheng nod, Su Wan immediately took the Guqin from the window.
She placed the Guqin on the table and brushed the strings with her bare hands. Soon, the clear and distant sound of the strings lingered in the air.
The sound of the Guqin was dense and lively. It reminded Su Wan of the time when she and Jiang Xuecheng took photos of their ancient costumes at the film studio. She played the Guqin and flute together with Jiang Xuecheng in the bamboo forest.
Thinking of this, Su Wan could not help but stop. With a ding, the sound of the Guqin suddenly stopped.
Jiang Xuecheng closed his eyes and was engrossed in listening. Because Su Wan suddenly stopped playing the Guqin, he immediately opened his eyes.
“Why don’t you play anymore?”
The corners of Su Wan’s lips were slightly pursed. Her long eyelashes fluttered, and a look of anticipation appeared on her face.
“Your Highness, do you know how to play any musical instruments?”
Actually, what Su Wan really wanted to ask was whether Jiang Xuecheng knew how to play the flute.
The man’s gaze shifted to Su Wan. When he saw the look of anticipation on her face, he shook his head lightly.
“I’ve never learned any musical instruments.”
When she heard this, Su Wan’s face suddenly fell.
Could it be that after losing her memory, he would forget the skills he had learned in the past?
Su Wan felt a little unwilling. She looked at Jiang Xuecheng tentatively and began to make up nonsense.
“Your Highness, do you still remember the dream that I told you about?”
The emperor frowned when he heard that. He could not remember what dream Su Wan had told him.
“Which one?”
Su Wan looked at Jiang Xuecheng carefully. There was a kind of excitement in the voice that could not be hidden.
“It was a dream that you gave me this ring. I still remember that in the dream, you played the Guqin and flute with me. You used a jade flute, and you played it very well.”
As Su Wan said this, she could not help but shake the ring on her left ring finger, trying to recall some of the memories of Jiang Xuecheng.
But very soon, Su Wan was disappointed.
Su Wan kept mentioning this ridiculous dream…
A faint light flashed through Jiang Xuecheng’s long and narrow eyes. He reached out and stroked Su Wan’s head.
“There isn’t even a flute in the God’s Palace. How could I possibly know how to play it?”
Su Wan pursed her lips. It wasn’t appropriate for her to say anything else. She was thinking whether or not she should persuade Jiang Xuecheng to learn a flute or something.
Even if her memories were forgotten, Jiang Xuecheng might still subconsciously remember these things.
After all, it was hard to say how to use skills. Su Wan felt that even if she lost her memories, she would still remember how to eat using chopsticks!
Jiang Xuecheng looked at Su Wan without blinking. He saw her frowning and giggling at the same time. He did not know what she was thinking.
He raised his long eyebrows and could not help but knock Su Wan’s forehead.
“Wan Wan, other than ‘the introduction of a good night,’ Do you know any other songs?”
Su Wan whispered with a half-truth, “It hurts! Next time, be gentle.”
Then, Su Wan began to answer the question from Jiang Xuecheng. An embarrassed smile appeared on her face.
“Actually, I’m just a beginner of the Guqin. Other than ‘Tune of a Peaceful Night,’ I only know ‘Happy Birthday to you’. Are you sure you want to hear it?”
…
In total, Su Wan only knew two pieces. Moreover, Su Wan admitted that she was not good at playing, but Jiang Xuecheng seemed to not get tired of listening to it. He even became interested in the Guqin.
Su Wan took this opportunity to become Jiang Xuecheng’s teacher. She taught Jiang Xuecheng how to recognize the strings of the Guqin and familiarized him with the structure of the Fuxi Guqin.
Just like that, Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng were lost in the Guqin room for quite a while.
As the two of them were engrossed in learning, a maid suddenly knocked on the door outside. She said that the high priest had something to ask Jiang Xuecheng about.
Su Wan had no choice but to let Jiang Xuecheng leave first.
They had just chatted in the morning, and now he was going over. What exactly was the matter?
Su Wan cursed in her heart. She couldn’t continue reading the music score. She walked to the French window and saw a clear blue man-made lake below. It looked like the surrounding scenery was quite good.
With an impulse, Su Wan put down the music score and decided to go over there to get some fresh air.
She had been in the God’s Palace for quite a while, but she rarely went out, and other than this castle, she hadn’t been to such a beautiful place yet!
…
The weather was very good today. The sun was shining brightly, and the sky was sprinkled with a pale golden light. A warm wind blew, bringing with it the fragrance of flowers.
Su Wan strolled to the lakeside and saw the small fish swimming in it. She couldn’t help but feel childlike and crouched down to catch the splashes.
The ice-cold water flowed down her hand. It was extremely comfortable.
Su Wan sighed in satisfaction. Just as she was about to stand up, she heard a sarcastic female voice from behind.
“Su Wan, why are you here? Why, is His Highness finally willing to abandon you?”
When she heard that voice, Su Wan could not help but roll her eyes. She did not have to turn around to know that the person standing behind her was the eldest daughter of the Siswell family, Diya.
As soon as Su Wan turned around, a bright and beautiful face immediately appeared in her sight.
However, she had her chin held high at this moment, and her expression was as proud as a peacock, ruining the beauty that should have existed.
Su Wan calmly clapped her hands and brushed off the water droplets.
“Miss Diya, you seem to be at odds with me.”
Diya snorted coldly. When she saw that Su Wan was standing so close to the pond, a crazy thought suddenly welled up in her heart.
If Su Wan died, would it be over?
She did not know when the high priest’s promise would be fulfilled. It had only been one day, and she could not wait anymore!
Diya’s lips curled into a sneer. She suddenly stretched out her hand and forcefully pushed Su Wan forward!
“Go to Hell–“
