Chapter 138: Chapter 138 Excitement "Mm." "But you play just as beautifully." Luo Yanqing had recently been doing the stay-at-home dad routine and, of course, included playing tunes on the erhu for Ruirui and the other two during the music appreciation time Kang Li had scheduled. The erhu was a gift from an elderly person who had also taught Luo Yanqing how to play it. At that time, Luo Yanqing was still young, placed in an orphanage by the relevant authorities, and the elder was a staff member there. One day, Luo Yanqing heard the elder play the erhu and found it pleasing. So, after completing his homework on weekends and hearing the elder play, he would silently stand by and listen. This back-and-forth made them familiar with each other, and the elder asked if Luo Yanqing would like to learn. Without hesitation, Luo Yanqing nodded, and from then on, whenever he had a holiday, he would stick close to the elder to learn while the latter was free. Regrettably, the elder fell seriously ill before Luo Yanqing was sent abroad by the country for further studies. Knowing Luo Yanqing was about to leave, the elder personally handed his erhu to Luo Yanqing, urging him to study hard overseas and if he ever missed his homeland, to play the erhu. He also implored Luo Yanqing to return home after completing his studies, so as not to let down the country’s years of nurturing. With such a story behind it, Luo Yanqing understandably cherished his erhu. Therefore, many years after he received the erhu from the elder’s hands, he would carefully wipe it down whenever he was at home. His choice to play the erhu for Ruirui and the others came about when Kang Li accidentally saw Luo Yanqing wiping the erhu in the study a few days earlier and casually asked if she could borrow it. Luo Yanqing hesitated, but ultimately nodded in agreement. "Not as well as she plays." After replying to Director Song, Luo Yanqing’s lips curved slightly, and he fell silent for a good while. In the living room. After Kang Li played "Flying Insects" three times in a row, she placed the erhu on the side tea table. She then saw Song Xuan staring intently at the erhu and couldn’t help but ask the young boy, "Do you like the erhu, Xuan Xuan?" A couple of minutes passed, and Song Xuan nodded, his gaze still locked on the erhu. Kang Li: "Then do you want to learn how to play the erhu, Xuan Xuan?" Upon hearing this, Song Xuan finally moved his gaze away from the erhu, looked intently at Kang Li for a moment, and seriously nodded again. Kang Li: "Alright, Auntie will teach you." Looking at the young boy, a smile was evident in her eyes: "You have to study hard, because Auntie is very strict!" This time, Song Xuan didn’t just nod; he even made a surprising "Mm" noise. Ruirui and the other two didn’t notice this unusual behavior, but Kang Li heard it clearly. She felt happy for the boy and for Director Song and Mrs. Qi. She couldn’t help but shout towards the direction of the study: "Uncle Song, Luo Yanqing, come out quickly, Xuan Xuan’s spoken!" "Xiao Kang, are you sure you didn’t deceive Uncle Song?" Despite his advanced age, Director Song moved as if carried by the wind, appearing in front of Kang Li almost in the blink of an eye. "Of course not. If Uncle Song doesn’t believe me, why not listen for yourself?" said Kang Li, her eyes softening as she looked towards the young boy: "Xuan Xuan, do you want to follow Auntie and learn to play the erhu?" She spoke at an unhurried pace, enunciating each word clearly so the young boy could understand her. The next moment, under the watchful eyes of Director Song and Luo Yanqing, Song Xuan nodded at Kang Li: "...learn..." Director Song was overwhelmed with excitement. His eyes reddened, his lips trembled, and he strode forward, hugging his grandson tight: "Good, good, good, Grandpa’s Xuan Xuan can talk now. If your grandma knew, she would be so happy!"
