Temptation and Jealousy

As a pianist, Mu Xin had a distinctly inventive temperament.

His half-length hair was simply above his shoulders, with slight curls on the finish; his complete particular person regarded as if he was unperturbed and serene, but with a contact of indescribable melancholy.

Maybe, Yi Zhize thought, artists have at all times been aloof in a means that’s incomprehensible to abnormal folks – coming from life and but above it.

It’s just like the legal guidelines and laws.

Mu Xin’s phrases interrupted his ideas, “Yi Zhize, that is a really good identify.”

“Thanks.”

“Does it have any particular which means?”

“No.” He did not like his identify and did not wish to consider all of the previous occasions related to it.

Mu Xin all of a sudden requested him, “Which piece did you want finest on the live performance that day?”

“I favored all of them.” With strangers, he was not prepared to disclose his preferences.

“It was Romeo and Juliet, I believe.”

Yi Zhize glanced at him in slight shock and didn’t say something.

Mu Xin smiled, “Music is a particular image for feelings, and musicians are the decoders of those symbols.”

Yi Zhize modified the topic, “Mr. Mu, I do not actually prefer to owe folks favours, I hope you’ll settle for my gratitude.”

“How would you prefer to thank me?”

“I am afraid you’d really feel presumptuous if I discussed materials compensation straight.”

“I’ve a number of extra concert events in Metropolis A within the subsequent short while. How about you purchase tickets to all of them as a thanks to me?”

“Okay.”

It simply so occurred that You Shirui had simply completed her internship for the day and was passing by when she caught a glimpse of Yi Zhize.

She wished to go up and say hiya, however when she noticed Yi Zhize and Mu Xin chatting fortunately, an inexplicable sense of disaster rose up in her coronary heart. Maybe she was too dizzy from the CP and hadn’t thought onerous sufficient, however she instantly opened her WeChat and despatched a message to Ou Tingyun: [Teacher Ou! Your date is about to be snatched away by someone else!!!]

The message was not instantly replied to by Ou Tingyun, so You Shirui calmed down: though as a tutor, Ou Tingyun had at all times been tolerant of his college students and was each a instructor and a pal, it was inappropriate to take a position about her instructor’s personal life…

With this in thoughts, You Shirui tried to cancel the message.

The 2-minute deadline for cancellation had already handed, so her hand flicked to delete.

At that second, Ou Tingyun replied: [What are you talking about? Where did you get that from?]

You Shirui had an thought: [Teacher, I mean the research subject!]

Ou Tingyun: [Which one?]

You Shirui: [Mr. Yi!]

[Where is he?]

[Just at the hospital.] 

[With who?]

[I can’t see too well from where I’m standing, maybe it’s a girl…]

[Exact location.]

[Corridor on the 6th floor of the Emergency Department.]

After sending this message, You Shirui did not know whether or not she ought to keep right here and anticipate Ou Tingyun or simply run away.

So she opened up a small personal group created by her sisters on the identical college and requested the others for his or her opinions.

To her shock, she did not get an opinion, however as an alternative created a scandal about Ou Tingyun and Yi Zhize.

Fanning the flames whereas watching, the dialogue within the group grew to become increasingly heated.

You Shirui may solely silently block the messages and ignore them.

Inside ten minutes, Ou Tingyun arrived on the scene.

You Shirui waved at him after which pointed within the path of Yi Zhize.

Ou Tingyun nodded his head to point that he knew.

He regarded on the finish of the hall and noticed Yi Zhize’s determine.

The lawyer was standing by the window, fastidiously listening to the person beside him, and the sight of him was disconcerting.

With a mild smile on his face, Ou Tingyun walked in the direction of the 2 males and referred to as to him softly, “Zhize.”

Yi Zhize checked out him in shock, “What are you doing right here?”

Ou Tingyun smiled, “This can be a hospital, I am a health care provider, why cannot I be right here?”

Yi Zhize mentioned in disbelief, “Not way back, I clearly despatched you again…”

“There was a gathering on the hospital on brief discover, so I got here again.”

“Then why did not you go to the assembly?”

“It was over.” Ou Tingyun spoke naturally and calmly, with none pretence, and easily directed the dialog again to Yi Zhize: “Zhize, why did you come to the emergency division?”

“Due to an elder of the household.”

“Did you encounter any tough issues? I do know the top of the emergency division effectively, so I can ask him for you.”

“Thanks, it’s alright.”

Mu Xin had been standing quietly by.

Ou Tingyun gave him a deep look and requested Yi Zhize absently, “Who is that this?”

“A pal I’ve simply met.”

Though Ou Tingyun’s gaze was smiling, his aura clearly contained a hint of hostility.

Mu Xin was clearly not fascinated with Ou Tingyun, so he mentioned to Yi Zhize, “Mr. Yi, let’s meet once more subsequent time.”

“Okay.”

As quickly as he had left, Ou Tingyun requested him, “Zhize, have not you simply met one another? What is the level of seeing one another once more?”

Yi Zhize defined, “Mr. Mu helped me.”

“So?”

“I promised to go to his future concert events.”

“Zhize, you are simply too kind-hearted, I believe you’ve got been swindled by him.” Ou Tingyun analysed, “That live performance ticket of his is expensive, maybe he cannot promote it and is in search of you to be the sufferer of injustice.”

“It would not matter.” Yi Zhize did not care about that. In his values, he would repay a favour, his intentions had been extra vital than the shape, and he would not be calculating.

Ou Tingyun glanced into the ward, “Zhize, your elder, what’s incorrect with him?”

“It is a coronary heart downside,” Yi Zhize mentioned, “Xie Decheng, my grandfather.”

“Has he at all times been handled at this hospital?”

“Mmm.”

“Okay, I will maintain an additional eye on him for you.”

“Thanks.” Yi Zhize hesitated for some time, however nonetheless whispered, “Tingyun, you’ve got helped me lots and really feel a bit responsible. You recognize, I do not prefer to owe folks favours.”

Ou Tingyun checked out him with a mild smile, “Then inform me, what have I helped you with?”

Yi Zhize hung his head, his gaze falling on the bandage on Ou Tingyun’s proper hand, “You had been injured.”

“So, did not you cook dinner for me and deal with my commute to and from work?”

“I generally harass you in the midst of the evening.”

“You are my affected person, who will you trouble if not me?”

“My grandfather…”

Ou Tingyun interrupted him and mentioned, “Zhize, interactions between persons are not merely a linear relationship. As quickly as a connection is made, it is sort of a spider’s internet, and there’s no approach to categorise them one after the other.”

Yi Zhize regarded up at him.

Ou Tingyun continued, “You and I, for instance, though now we have knowledgeable relationship, we are able to additionally develop a friendship on the identical time. Is that not so?”

“En.”

“Apart from, I nonetheless have to hassle you with that inheritance dispute case at my home, Barrister Yi.”

“Okay.” The afterglow of the setting solar poured in, cloaking his facet with a pale golden hue.

“How’s your psychological state today, Zhize?”

“Nonetheless not too optimistic,” Yi Zhize regarded out of the window, “however together with your hypnotic help, it is higher than earlier than.”

“If there’s nothing severe incorrect together with your grandfather, he’ll in all probability be discharged within the subsequent two days.” Ou Tingyun mentioned, “Let’s make an appointment for an intensive remedy this weekend within the afternoon.”

“Okay.”

“By the way in which,” Ou Tingyun added, “which concert events have you ever purchased tickets for? I am going too.”
