Prince charming, your persona has collapsed!

Chapter 283 "Those Years in a Hurry" Brief Attempt_2



She was already adept at taking the passenger seat in Zhou Yuwen's car, and she noticed that the seat didn't seem to have been adjusted much. Jiang Xinyi was curious, "Hey, Zhou Yuwen, hasn't your girlfriend been riding in your car much lately?"

Zhou Yuwen asked her why she would ask that.

Jiang Xinyi said, "Your seat doesn't seem to have been adjusted."

Zhou Yuwen had never paid attention to this, and it seemed to him that only Zheng Yanyan would adjust the seat; Lu Lin and Qu Jing didn't seem to adjust it much.

He didn't expect Jiang Xinyi to be so observant.

So Zhou Yuwen said, "Oh, it's because I'm trying to impress a wealthy woman. My girlfriend was going to adjust it, but then she played with it all night and ended up crying and setting it back."

"Ha!"

Jiang Xinyi laughed at Zhou Yuwen's joke: "You're not having conflicts with your partner, are you?"

Zhou Yuwen thought to himself that the forums were in an uproar, why wouldn't she go check it out?

But Zhou Yuwen would not discuss such things; he simply said she was overthinking it.

It was ten o'clock, a time when the sun was shining brightly.

Jiang Xinyi had already made a call ahead of time, so early in the morning, a saleswoman in a suit was waiting at the entrance. When she saw Zhou Yuwen and Jiang Xinyi coming, she came over to greet them.

"Hello, you were introduced by Director Liu, right?"

"Yes."

So the three of them took a tour car to see the real estate.

The house Zhou Yuwen was looking at was a semi-detached villa, with a construction area of 350 square meters, plus an additional 100 square meter courtyard, beautifully furnished upon delivery.

A high-ceiling design for the living room.

Floor-to-ceiling windows that lead directly to the courtyard.

Also, there were two small terraces on the second floor, and one large terrace on the third floor.

The agent, holding all the details of the property, was diligently introducing everything to Zhou Yuwen and Jiang Xinyi.

In fact, she didn't know the identities of Zhou Yuwen and Jiang Xinyi, only that the boss had made the introduction and that they should be served wholeheartedly. The villa was priced at around six million yuan, with the usual discount being 95%, but Zhou Yuwen had arranged for a direct 10% discount.

Which is 5.4 million yuan.

Including a driveway to the house.

If not needed, it could also be converted into a small room.

Besides, although the construction area is 350 square meters, other owners in the community have all dug basements, and this issue is one of those "if the citizens do not report, the officials do not investigate."

In fact, most basements in villas are illegal, but the benefit of buying a villa is the substantial land use rights that come with it.

Zhou Yuwen had never bought a villa before and certainly did not understand some aspects, whereas Li Shiqi was a bit more professional, looking around here and there, asking the saleswoman a few questions.

The saleswoman also answered each question attentively.

The high-ceiling living room had plenty of light, with a piano made of peach wood placed at the far right.

Jiang Xinyi was thrilled to see the piano, laughing and saying, "There's even a piano!"

The saleswoman smiled upon hearing this, explaining that it was originally in the showroom but was moved here because the showroom ended up with one extra piano.

While talking, Jiang Xinyi had already seated herself at the piano.

She even looked rather professional.

First, she tried a few high notes, which were incredibly crisp.

Her technique was very professional.

Zhou Yuwen and the saleswoman both walked over to the piano, with Zhou Yuwen saying, "Do you know how to play? Don't damage other people's piano."

"Look down on me, would you!?"

Jiang Xinyi, feeling disdained, deftly played a piece.

It started out slowly and then gradually intensified.

It was "Jasmine Flower!"

"Jasmine Flower" as a piano piece is indeed beautiful, layered, and the further it goes, the more it transitions from cheerful to melancholic, really testing a pianist's skill.

Jiang Xinyi played with great focus, and both the saleswoman and Zhou Yuwen listened seriously.

After the piece ended, Jiang Xinyi was proud.

"Hey! How about that! Still look down on me?"

Zhou Yuwen dismissed it with a grimace: "So-so, it's not like you composed it!"

"Cut it out, you talk as if you can compose. Let's see you play something."

"If I play then I play, no big deal! Make room!"

As the Double Tenth Evening Gala was approaching, Zhou Yuwen had been practicing "Those Years in a Hurry," and while he hadn't systematically learned piano, he was proficient with the guitar. On the piano, as long as the notes were correct, he could play.

So Zhou Yuwen pushed Jiang Xinyi aside.

He took a seat himself.

The thing with pianos is everyone who sees one, whether they can play or not, wants to have a go at it.

Seeing Zhou Yuwen acting all professional, Jiang Xinyi was scornful, thinking to say, "Composing, huh!? Can you even play? Your technique is all wrong!"

Before Jiang Xinyi could finish her sentence.

Zhou Yuwen began to play the piano.

Zhou Yuwen didn't say he would play the entire piece of Those Years in a Hurry.

He just played a part of the treble section, the most melodious part.

The lyrics for that part are:

Just like that hasty year♪

Carving out forever together♪

Such a beautiful rumor!

If the past is still worth cherishing!

Don't reconcile too quickly!

Who is willing—without grievances or connections!

This section is the highlight of the whole song, and it must be played on the piano since the guitar can't produce such high notes. When played on the piano, there will be a section where the rhythm seems chaotic but is not, resembling that hurried heart.

It's more like regretting one's youth!

Then to the slow rhythm that follows:

We owe each other♪

Otherwise, why reminisce?

Just a simple little part, but it stunned Jiang Xinyi and the sales agent standing behind Zhou Yuwen.

The sales agent didn't think too much, just because this was a song they had never heard before, clapping hands happily and saying, "Wow, that sounds so good!"

But as the piano stopped, Jiang Xinyi suddenly snapped out of a dream.

She looked at Zhou Yuwen in disbelief.

Zhou Yuwen just chuckled lightly: "How's that? Shocked?"

"You, you wrote it yourself?"

"Of course, there are lyrics too. I will perform them at the Christmas and New Year's party tomorrow, and shock you with my singing!"

"There are lyrics?!"

Jiang Xinyi was truly shocked. She had learned piano, but even without that background, one could tell that this song carried strong personal emotions and could easily resonate with others, especially the part Zhou Yuwen had just played, which was very thrilling.

Jiang Xinyi was genuinely attracted.

She then nudged Zhou Yuwen aside.

And following her memory, she repeated the exact part that Zhou Yuwen had just played.

This shocked Zhou Yuwen.

Jiang Xinyi showed her love for the piece: "Is this the complete piece? This is just one part, what about the rest, write down the score for me!"

Zhou Yuwen, looking at her eager eyes, said: "Okay, but I have one condition,"

"What condition!?" Jiang Xinyi quickly asked.

"Help me with the accompaniment on stage tomorrow," said Zhou Yuwen.

"?"

"Just this?" Jiang Xinyi felt speechless, thinking it was just a simple task.

"All right, give me the score quickly, I need to practice hard!"

Honestly, for anyone with a bit of piano knowledge, playing pop music from a score is really not difficult; you can usually master it after going through it a couple of times.

Zhou Yuwen originally wanted to sing while playing the guitar, but after hearing Jiang Xinyi's piano performance, he changed his mind, feeling that having accompaniment wouldn't be bad.

Jiang Xinyi wanted Zhou Yuwen to give her the lyrics as well.

But Zhou Yuwen said, just play from my score, and I will shock you with the lyrics tomorrow!

"Cut it out, if you don't give me the lyrics, how can I accompany you?"

"Then we'll have to see if our intentions are in sync!"

Zhou Yuwen said with a smile.

Jiang Xinyi rolled her eyes.

The sales agent, who was supposed to show them houses, felt a little embarrassed that the topic had shifted, and tried to steer the conversation back, saying untimely, "Haha, the two of you have such musical talent, I bet your future children will also be little musicians, huh?"

"???"

Jiang Xinyi was bewildered by the comment: "What did you just say?"

The sales agent asked with a puzzled look: "Eh, aren't you two a couple?"

"Oh, I must have seen wrong. I thought you two were getting married and looking for a wedding house."

The sales agent steered the conversation back to the houses in just a few words.

Jiang Xinyi blushed, finding it strange that she didn't feel repulsed.

But very soon, Jiang Xinyi became annoyed.

Because Zhou Yuwen told the sales agent: "What are you talking about, sis? Am I so old? She's 6 years older than me."
