"Aunt Wang, accompany me to the piano shop. I'm going to buy a piano." Zhou Manchun said decisively with a confident smile on her pink face.
"Madam, I'm making your favorite egg tarts now. The egg tarts will be out of the oven in ten minutes. Can you wait for a while?" Aunt Wang said with a smile and a kind look.
Zhou Manchun said straightforwardly, "Okay."
Suddenly, the doorbell rang in the living room. Aunt Wang went to open the door.
"Come on, bring them all in." Shi Mingge strode his long legs and muttered.
He saw a few muscular men carrying bags of various sizes walking into the room in unison.
Zhou Manchun stood beside the sofa in a daze and watched the strong men arrange the things neatly.
"Wait … wait. Why did you bring so many things to my house?" Zhou Manchun pulled Shi Mingge, who was standing at the side and giving orders, and asked in puzzlement.
Shi Mingge didn't stand on ceremony. He shrugged and sat on the sofa wantonly. He crossed his legs and said, "It's a wedding gift for you."
"Those who are unaccountably solicitous are hiding evil intentions. I won't accept it. You can take it back." Zhou Manchun muttered in a low voice. She always felt that Shi Mingge was up to no good. He came to her house in broad daylight to give her a wedding gift. It was definitely not a good thing.
"You're really heartless. Now that you're married to Jin Beisen, we're a family. According to seniority, I'm your brother. Call me brother." Shi Mingge leaned on the sofa comfortably and didn't treat himself as an outsider at all. There was a hint of laziness in his roguish tone.
"Are you really here to give me a gift?" Zhou Manchun looked at the bags and boxes that Shi Mingge asked people to pile on the ground. They were all famous brands.
"Of course. These are the new winter styles. You can't buy them in China." Shi Mingge glanced at the famous brand bags and shoes on the ground and said lightly.
"If you can't buy it, then so be it. Take it back. I don't want it." Zhou Manchun said stubbornly. After all, the relationship between Jin Beisen and Shi Mingge wasn't that good. Although they were brothers, their current situation was no different from enemies.
"Zhou Manchun, I'm going to get angry if you do this!" Shi Mingge glared at Zhou Manchun and suddenly said in a serious tone.
Zhou Manchun pursed her lips uneasily and sat down. She smiled and said, "Alright, then tell me, what is your purpose in giving me these?"
Shi Mingge smiled exaggeratedly and said in a light tone, "What if I say it's to buy people's hearts?"
"I'm sorry, but you should take it back."
Shi Mingge's eyes darkened, and the expression on his face began to become a little stiff. But within five seconds, he relaxed a little. "I'm kidding. These are really wedding gifts for you. Thank you for being my father's personal doctor … and for taking care of my illness."
He said it seriously, and Zhou Manchun was dubious. She squinted her eyes suspiciously and looked at Shi Mingge up and down shrewdly.
"This is what I should do." Zhou Manchun said modestly.
"There's no such thing as should or shouldn't. Take it."
Zhou Manchun curled her lips and still felt a little embarrassed. She suddenly thought of something, pursed her lips and asked, "Take your medicine on time, right? Don't smoke and don't drink. Do you understand?"
Shi Mingge's complicated eyes suddenly became a little dim. There was a forbearance in his eyes. "People like me, even if I die, no one will feel sorry for me. My death is not regrettable."
"Don't talk nonsense!" Zhou Manchun sternly interrupted him. She didn't like it when people said such things. It was a kind of happiness to be alive. How many people looked forward to living one more day? She didn't expect Shi Mingge to be so suicidal. His thoughts made her feel uneasy.
"Do you feel sorry for me?" Shi Mingge's bright eyes stared at her. He put away his usual mischievous smile and asked seriously.
"Don't ask such hypothetical questions. I won't answer." Zhou Manchun frowned. She was in a bad mood because of Shi Mingge's question.
Shi Mingge lowered his head, and a touch of disappointment flashed in his dark eyes. "I knew you wouldn't answer."
Zhou Manchun was silent. She looked up at him quietly. Shi Mingge's eyes were brilliant like the stars in the night sky, but he looked a little troubled and even a little depressed.
"Let's not talk about this. Are you free? Accompany me to buy a piano. "Zhou Manchun stood up, her red lips slightly raised as she said with a chuckle.
"Okay." Shi Mingge agreed. He had nothing to do anyway.
Although he was the general manager of JS International, he didn't have any real power. Jin Beisen wouldn't hand over important matters to him. His power was even less than that of a director. Therefore, Shi Mingge had nothing to do in JS International all day. He wandered around and came and went as he pleased. He was very free.
"Then let's go." Zhou Manchun led the way through the kitchen and shouted to aunt Wang, who was busy inside, "Aunt Wang, I'm going out to buy a piano."
"Eh, Madam, don't you need me to accompany you?"
"No need. She has someone to accompany her." Shi Mingge smiled and answered for Zhou Manchun.
Zhou Manchun was wearing a pink down jacket. She walked to the entrance and put on her knee-high boots. She had to take advantage of the fact that her stomach wasn't big and her body wasn't swollen. She still had time to show off her beauty.
Shi Mingge changed to a black Land Rover parked in the courtyard. He opened the door like a gentleman and invited Zhou Manchun to get in.
Once in the car, Shi Mingge was afraid that Zhou Manchun would be cold, so he turned on the heater the moment the car started.
"Which piano shop?" Shi Mingge held the steering wheel and asked.
"Xianyin Piano." Zhou Manchun fastened her seatbelt and said faintly.
"By the way, what are you going to do with a piano?" Shi Mingge asked with a smile, with a very casual look.
"It's just for decoration." Zhou Manchun joked. The "Midsummer Night's Dream" incident appeared in her mind again.
After so many years, she never thought she would touch the piano again. But this year, she made an exception. Perhaps it was because her heart still throbbed. She had never truly let go of Lin Xingyan, nor had she let go of the music she loved for so many years. That was why she wanted to find that feeling again.
"Is it to prepare for the" Midsummer Night's Dream "piano competition?" Shi Mingge's handsome face had a hint of seriousness. He was the one who got people to push the trending topic on Weibo. Including the comments about Zhou Manchun, they were all paid by Shi Mingge.
"Eh? How did you know? "Zhou Manchun's face was full of suspicion as she looked at him with a sly look.
