Ch. 8.1 I only practice piano with him
After sorting out the plot, Shi Qingning began to look for news regarding An family.
In the novel, the irreversible tragedy that happened to Bai Yexi started from the An family.
But as a few days passed, Shi Qingning still found nothing.
‘An’ itself is not a popular surname, on top of that, the family has a small amount of assets, and there is also a sick son. These clues are actually enough to facilitate the search.
It is precisely because of this that the people he asked can quickly confirm that there is no such family named An in Haicheng.
So did Yexi move from another city to Haicheng?
There is no such detailed explanation in the novel, so Shi Qingning can only roughly guess what might have happened.
But as the area of search expands, finding a family becomes more difficult.
The young master was weak and could not bear to travel long distances. He had not been out of Haicheng since he was a child. If he rashly starts to search for information from other places, it is likely that the Shi family will become suspicious.
While Shi Qingning was thinking about it, he heard a knock on the door outside the bedroom.
“Please come in.”
Two men in black suits walked in holding large and small gift boxes.
“Second Young Master, these are the various gifts given by the guests at yesterday’s party. Madam asked them to be sent to your room for review.”
Shi Qingning thanked them, and the two men in black suits put the gifts away, not forgetting to remind him before they left.
“Madam said, if you have been up for a long time, remember to rest and be careful not to overwork yourself.”
The youngest son had just recovered, causing Madam Shi to still care for him like a fragile crystal, guarding him carefully in her palms.
Shi Qingning went to open the gifts, but his movements slowed down as he opened them.
He held his chin and looked at the gift in front of him.
Shi Qingning knew about some of the too expensive gifts that were given at the yesterday’s party. For example, the gift box sent by his parents contained a thick book, and it was actually an instruction manual for an astronomical telescope, occupying a huge area. The telescope was placed on the top floor of Shi’s villa. Shi Qingning can go up and use it at any time to observe the endless Milky Way starry sky with an unobstructed view.
What Shi Yi gave as a gift was a clock monitor. This portable display looks lightweight, but in fact it is connected to an extremely large atomic clock via Bluetooth. The time accuracy of this kind of clock is extremely high. An ordinary household clock can be considered accurate even if it just deviates by one minute a year, but an atomic clock only deviates by one second in tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of years.
Shi Qingning was actually curious about where this came from. Atomic clocks were generally used in aviation laboratories or high-tech factories, and it was rare to hear of anyone moving one to their house.
But in fact, even being able to bring back such a sky-high price astronomical telescope is not something ordinary people would be able to do.
But what Shi Qingning was more curious about was whose preferences these gifts followed 1As whether these gifts were according to the original owner’s likes or of Shi Qingning himselves..
Shi Qingning 2The soul was born with a serious heart disease, and his interest, which was very rare, lied in astronomy and physics.
He loved to look at the starry sky at night and observe all the stars there.
Is this also the case with Young Master Shi 3the original owner?
Shi Qingning looked at the newly opened bottle of mint aromatherapy and couldn’t help but fall into deep thought.
Mint is also my favorite flavor 4The soul’s.
To be honest, Shi Qingning had begun to wonder whether these coincidences were just coincidences, or ….something else?
Or maybe, does his arrival complete the setting of this world?
Young Master Shi 5the original left too few traces of his life, with almost no personal information. For a congenital heart patient who has been sick for many years, this makes sense. Shi Qingning knows very well that congenital heart disease is a gamble with God for your life, and it is normal to spend a longer time in the hospital than at your home.
But it was this previous situation that made it difficult for Shi Qingning to judge his current situation.
The novel didn’t describe Shi’s family at all, and it also didn’t mention Young Master Shi a lot. It was only a few days after Shi Qingning woke up that he realized that his adaptation 6to the new body seemed to be surprisingly smooth.
Logically speaking, if you wake up every day and stand in front of the mirror facing someone else’s face, you should feel uncomfortable, at least for a while.
Shi Qingning’s memory was fuzzy and he couldn’t even immediately confirm whether this was his original appearance or not. And now he discovered that even his vague memory did not cause any obstacles in interacting with the Shi family at all – the young master had a dispute with his family before, so now the family was completely obedient to the youngest son and never doubted anything he said.
If one thinks about this carefully, this coincidence is a bit too much.
Dudu
There was another knock on the door, and someone came to tell him to come down.
“Second Young Master, the reexamination results have been sent over. Madam has asked to please come down to see them together.”
Shi Qingning went downstairs and saw Mother Shi chatting with a doctor he had met in the hospital in the living room.
“All indicators are within the normal range. Well, you don’t have to worry too much. Just let him take appropriate rest…”
Shi Qingning walked over. The two people holding the thick examination results looked up at him. The doctor smiled and said, “ The young master looks much better.”
“Thank you, Uncle Liu.”
Shi Qingning greeted the person shyly as he looked at the results.
Seeing his curiosity, the doctor handed him the one in his hand and continued chatting with Mrs. Shi.
The hospital’s examination indicators were all similar. Shi Qingning flipped through a few pages, and finally his eyes stopped on the brain CT scan.
The doctor who was talking to Mrs. Shi saw this and helped to explain it to him.
“Second Young Master’s CT scan is also normal. It didn’t show any kind of sequelae of nerve compression. It’s just that several areas of your brain are more active than the others.”
Shi Qingning remained silent and his forehead twitched.
He just talked to Shi Xiaolin about brain and memory yesterday.
“Why?” Mrs. Shi asked, “Will these have any serious impact?”
“No, don’t worry.” The doctor smiled, “This should be because as the heart recovers, the blood supply to the brain is more efficient than before. This is a good thing. Aren’t you still planning to send the second young master to school? Now that his energy is slowly recovering, he can better adapt to the normal rhythm of school.”
Hearing this Mrs. Shi felt relieved, “That’s great…”
Shi Qingning: “…”
This is it again.
The setting of this world seems to be complemented 7contribute extra features to (someone or something) in such a way as to improve or emphasize their qualities by something invisible.
After the doctor was sent away, Shi Qingning carefully tested Mrs. Shi again.
“Mom,” Shi Qingning pulled Mrs. Shi’s sleeve and said, “I want to eat bitter melon.”
Young Master Shi hates bitter things the most.
“Why do you suddenly want to eat bitter melon?” Mrs. Shi was really confused.
But before Shi Qingning could say anything, Mother Shi said, “How about we ask Auntie to make it for you during lunch?”
She touched the boy’s forehead and said, “But don’t eat too much in the first bite, it might taste bad to you. You need to first get used to it.”
“…”
Shi Qingning pondered on those words. Mother Shi’s focus seems to be different from what he imagined.
Not getting answers to his questions, he simply stopped Mrs. Shi who was about to go to the kitchen.
“Mom, I still want to fall in love.”
What will these unpredictable changes of his make them think?
Can this be used to detect the real world fluctuations?
Shi Qingning held his breath, waiting for the other party’s reaction.
Unexpectedly, the other party didn’t react at all.
“Okay.” Mother Shi said, her tone as calm as if she was replying to the question whether she could eat bread today.
“As long as our baby is happy and doesn’t harm his body, mother won’t object if you talk to anyone you want.”
Shi Qingning: …This is not just adjusting with his whims, this is completely illogical doting!
After returning home in vain, Shi Qingning had to shelve the test plan for now, as the current situation made it difficult for him to rush for any kind of success.
He first sent a message to Bai Yexi.
[Lemon: My re-examination results are out. Everything is normal. You can come to practice piano today!]
They made an appointment to meet this week.
[Lemon: Where are you now?]
After getting Bai Yexi’s contact information last time, Shi Qingning searched for and added the other party’s WeChat.
Bai Yexi’s profile picture is pure white, and his nickname only has the letter B, which is terribly simple.
The same goes for his mobile phone. The style is quite simple. Shi Qingning took a look at it at that time. Bai Yexi’s mobile phone model was very old. It seemed that he had saved up money to buy it. It even looked like it had been used for a long time.
Probably because he was working part-time, even when Shi Qingning sent messages to him several times, Bai Yexi only returned to them early in the morning.
Shi Qingning wondered if he was working all night again.
Shi Qingning was just thinking about whether to call him later if he didn’t reply this time, when his phone buzzed twice.
[B: Yeah.]
[B: At the piano store.]
Shi Qingning looked at it for a while and couldn’t help laughing.
He is obviously one who doesn’t talk much.
Yet he actually replied to the messages he sent so seriously.
