Chapter 190: 189 Valentine’s Day Tactical Probe
Fair and slender fingers danced on the keys, movements flexible and smooth, but the room only had slight “pa pa” sounds, without any zither sound at all.
Because Pei Ningle was playing a midi keyboard at this time.
The keyboard was connected to the computer, the computer plugged into headphones, the headphones worn on the young girl’s mind, so only she could hear her own performance.
Suddenly, Pei Ningle stopped, moved her fingers and wrists on both hands, and took off the headphones.
She smiled at her best friend who was also her agent beside her: “Now it’s good. I used to always worry that practicing piano at home would disturb the neighbors. This house has poor soundproofing. I didn’t even dare to sing out loud, let alone practice piano.”
Han Yixuan smiled: “Such a high-end piano, the effect must be great, right?”
Pei Ningle blinked: “High-end? This is just a midi keyboard, not high-end at all.”
The smile on Han Yixuan’s face stiffened involuntarily: “This costs several thousand yuan, and it’s still not high-end?”
Pei Ningle explained: “Music stuff has cheap options too, but the effect isn’t good. Originally I planned to use a cheap midi keyboard without any weighting, but now with Chang Wen’s sponsorship fee, I can buy some good stuff. However, midi keyboards are basically foundational equipment, not that high-end. Though, if I want to buy more things, I might need to rent a new house…”
Han Yixuan’s smile had completely stiffened: “She gave you one hundred thousand, and you plan to spend it all on this?”
Pei Ningle looked somewhat bewildered: “Otherwise where should I spend it?”
Looking at her expression, Han Yixuan finally confirmed. This girl really wasn’t considering changing her mobile phone, nor planning to buy clothes, bags, or the like.
Of course, what surprised her even more was the price of these music instruments…
But Han Yixuan still couldn’t help advising: “But you can’t spend all this money like this, right? I see you’re still using Dat bao. Don’t you want to switch to some better skincare products?”
Pei Ningle asked in return: “Better skincare products, will they be very useful?”
Han Yixuan: “Probably… yes.”
“Then I can buy some to try later, but with my own money,” Pei Ningle said as she handed over the headphones, “By the way, do you want to listen to what I just played? It’s already recorded.”
Han Yixuan nodded and put on the headphones.
The next moment, light and agile music sounded.
Han Yixuan blurted out instinctively: “This is a music box!”
Pei Ningle: “Yeah yeah, you can adjust the sound quality of the tune yourself, this is the best. Of course this time I used the built-in settings in the software, very convenient.”
The piece wasn’t long, just about two minutes.
After listening to this almost flawless smooth performance, Han Yixuan took off the headphones and praised: “Xiao Le is really getting more and more amazing!”
But Pei Ningle shook her head: “This piece has low difficulty, I can still handle it. If it’s higher difficulty, more complex pieces, then I can’t. I’m just self-taught, there’s still a lot I need…”
Before she finished speaking, the room door was suddenly knocked on.
The two girls looked at each other.
Han Yixuan said softly: “Who is it?”
Pei Ningle: “How would I know?”
Han Yixuan: “Then I’ll go check.”
The young girl walked to the door and looked out through the peephole on the door.
Surprisingly, it was Ye Xun.
Han Yixuan thought calmly, then put on a flawless smile and opened the door: “How come Xiao Xun is here?”
A smile also hung on Ye Xun’s small face: “I’m going to the martial arts hall later, passing by here with some time, so I came to see if you were in.”
“Then come in and sit,” Han Yixuan invited warmly, “Xiao Le just played a music box piece, really nice, do you want to listen?”
Ye Xun gladly agreed—today, the girl’s acting skills seemed to have finally improved, not showing any particularly stiff spots in front of her two big rivals.
She sat next to Pei Ningle, put on the headphones, and listened quietly.
Two minutes later, Ye Xun took off the headphones, clapped while saying: “Really great, Sister Xiao Le is so amazing!”
The corners of Pei Ningle’s mouth couldn’t help curving up, but when speaking she didn’t forget to be modest: “Average average, mainly because this piece has low difficulty…”
The three girls sat on the sofa, Ye Xun in the middle, the other two on either side, chatting and laughing, a harmonious scene.
But after just chatting with Pei Ningle, Ye Xun suddenly turned to Han Yixuan and asked: “Sister Xiao Xuan, I heard you already have a boyfriend, and I know this boyfriend too, right?”
Han Yixuan became secretly vigilant, but her expression remained calm: “Yeah, his name is Wang Heng…”
“So do you have any arrangement today?” Ye Xun followed up, “Today is Valentine’s Day, you must have prepared gifts and a date, right?”
Han Yixuan was immediately stunned.
These past few days, busy handling matters for Pei Ningle and previewing next semester’s textbooks, she hadn’t had much time to care about Valentine’s Day. Plus now holding the advantage with the shield identity, and no opportunity to break through the relationship with Wang Heng for the time being, so Valentine’s Day and such had no meaning.
But no matter what, she never expected that today, Ye Xun would use this opportunity to probe!
Han Yixuan glanced at Pei Ningle beside her.
Pei Ningle was stunned for two seconds, then came to her senses—she couldn’t undermine Xiao Xuan, otherwise the shield would fail and Ye Xun would return to the battlefield!
After getting Pei Ningle’s gaze of assurance, Han Yixuan stared at Ye Xun and smiled: “Of course we have a date, I’m going to find him later.”
Ye Xun blinked and pursued: “So what are you going to do?”
Han Yixuan took a breath, feeling it a bit tricky.
This Xiao Xun was younger than everyone, relying on that, she could ask some ‘childish’ questions?
However, Han Yixuan didn’t expect the other to be so unrestrained to this extent…
“Are you going to a hotel tonight?”
As soon as Ye Xun spoke, Pei Ningle’s eyes widened, and Han Yixuan couldn’t help coughing.
After sorting her emotions, Han Yixuan asked back as calmly as possible: “Why would we go to a hotel?”
Ye Xun: “Don’t adult couples all do that?”
Han Yixuan: “Do you have some misunderstanding… not all couples progress that fast!”
Ye Xun suddenly realized: “So your progress is very slow?”
Hearing this, Han Yixuan was startled inside.
Sure enough, she couldn’t be too careless. This Ye Xun had poor acting skills, but wasn’t as easy to handle as Xiao Le. And obviously, her visit today was premeditated!
