Chapter 17: A Genius Girl
On a rainy night, there was thunder.
Ning Zhi was lying alone on the bed, listening to the rumbling thunder, trembling with fear.
She has been afraid of thunder since she was a child, especially the thunder at night, which would suddenly come down and the lightning would cut half of the sky, as if it was going to split the sky.
The pouring rain fell and hit the windows, making a crackling sound.
Even if she had drawn the thick curtains, she could not block out the sounds outside.
Ji Hanguang knew that she was afraid of the dark and thunder. In the past, whenever there was rainy nights with thunder and lightning, he would always finish work early and go home to be with her. Even if he was away on a business trip and would not be able to come back for a while, he would always give her She made phone calls and fell asleep listening to each other's breathing.
As long as Ji Hanguang is with her, Ning Zhi will feel particularly at ease.
But now...
Ji Hanguang hasn't been home for several days, he is avoiding her.
This rainy night is destined to be passed by oneself.
Ning Zhi simply hid in bed and played the Concerto in D major on her phone.
The melodious music played from the phone really drove away some fears.
However, what was even more frightening came. In addition to the roar of thunder and lightning and the pattering of rain on the window, she actually heard the patter of footsteps?
She is obviously the only one in this villa!
Stop being some gangster who commits crimes on a rainy night!
Thinking of this, Ning Zhi became even more frightened, and her body was shaking uncontrollably under the quilt.
Until, the "gangster" got closer and closer to her, and finally stopped in front of her, reached out and pulled the corner of her quilt.
Ning Zhi held on tight.
"You, if you want to steal money, just take whatever is in the house..."
"Don't hurt me..."
He grabbed Ning Zhi's hand by the corner of the quilt and asked, "Cousin-in-law?"
Ning Zhi also paused. She poked her head out from under the quilt. She never expected that it was Lin Qianqian.
Lin Qianxi raised the key in her hand at her and said with a smile: "My cousin said you were afraid of thunder and asked me to accompany you."
"What about him?"
Ning Zhi didn't want to ask at first, but she couldn't help it.
Since Lin Qianqian can come to accompany her, why not do it by herself.
Lin Qianxi waved her hand, "Maybe it's because I'm busy."
"However, he asked me to bring this to you."
As she spoke, she took out a fluffy teddy bear from behind her back.
Ning Zhi: "?"
Was this really given to her by Ji Hanguang?
She is no longer a child.
Before she could speak, Lin Qianqian had a mysterious look on her face, "This is no ordinary doll, it's a sleep-inducing gift specially prepared by my cousin for you!"
With that said, he pressed the button on Little Bear's hand.
Immediately afterwards, a softly hummed lullaby was played, and Ning Zhi was surprised that the voice was so familiar and actually belonged to Ji Hanguang!
In the past, every time it thundered or rained, she would be too scared to sleep. Ji Hanguang would always hold her in his arms and hum softly tuneless lullabies like a child.
Unexpectedly, he actually recorded it this time.
Ning Zhi listened to the lullaby over and over again and felt very at ease.
Lin Qianxi also lay beside her, her eyebrows dancing, "Let's see, is it not bad?"
Ning Zhi nodded.
Lin Qianxi looked at it and smiled like an aunt.
"Seeing that you can break the ice makes me feel at ease. It's not in vain for me to be here as a tool in the middle of the night."
Ning Zhi smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Lin Qianqian: "Hey, because I also like Cousin Zhizhi, so it's not hard at all."
Who can refuse the opportunity to sleep with a beautiful and fragrant woman?
Especially this beautiful woman, who was the goddess during her student days.
"Actually, I thought my cousin had a problem with his eyes in the past. If I didn't marry you, a kind-hearted and talented young lady, I would have to hang out with that Ning Yansi."
"Now I understand, he probably feels inferior and not worthy of you."
Ning Zhi was startled by her words, "Are you serious?"
"Ji Hanguang has low self-esteem?" He is probably more conceited!
"It's true, you are the campus beauty of Imperial University! And you are also a genius girl. You gave a world-class cello recital in your teenage years, and internationally famous cellists have praised you."
"It's so bright and dazzling, how could anyone not like it?"
"Genius girl? Imperial University beauty?" Ning Zhi smiled and shook her head, "You are exaggerating."
"And it was all in the past."
In the past, Ning Zhi was the pride of the Imperial University Conservatory of Music. She was extremely talented and very hard-working. She won awards in various international competitions. If nothing happens, she will become an outstanding cellist and play a leading role in the international classical music world.
Take a place.
But later, she married Ji Hanguang.
At that time, the Ji family was on the verge of collapse. Ji Hanguang stayed at the company day and night. It was too late for her to feel distressed. How could she selfishly leave him alone and pursue her own music career.
So she put down the violin and became Ji Hanguang's good wife for three years.
Three years is not a long time, but every time Ning Zhi recalls it, it seems like it was a lifetime ago when she participated in competitions and won awards.
Lin Qianqian didn't notice the daze on Ning Zhi's face, and said to herself: "I think my cousin has always had you in his heart, but he didn't realize it himself."
"If I really didn't care, why would I go out of my way to give you a gift?"
Ning Zhi also fell into silence after hearing these words.
Is this really the case...
Lin Qianxi couldn't stand it any longer and fell asleep with her head tilted.
Ning Zhi hugged the little bear doll and listened to the lullaby inside again and again, feeling particularly peaceful.
She picked up her phone, pointed the camera at herself, and gestured with the bear in one hand.
After taking the photo, I was going to send it to Ji Hanguang, but as soon as I poked into Moments, I saw Ning Yan’s updates.
"It's raining heavily tonight, so Mr. Ji came here specially to accompany me, but what I want to spend with him is not just this night, but every day and night in the future. @Mr. Ji, I love you."
Attached below is a photo of Ning Yan and his fingers clasped together.
When Ning Zhi saw this, her mind suddenly went blank.
So, Ji Hanguang was busy because he went to accompany Ning Yan?
It's really ridiculous, so ridiculous.
At this time, she felt that the lullaby in the bear doll was so harsh.
Yes, from beginning to end, the only person Ji Hanguang unswervingly liked was Ning Yan.
No matter how hard she worked, no matter how dazzling she was, shining brightly on the stage and becoming a talented girl loved by everyone, she still couldn't be the light in Ji Hanguang's eyes.
But what does this mean?
If you really don't like her, why do you give her so much tenderness and hope so that she can't even give up completely?
