TAB Chapter 014

The chilly autumn was approaching quietly, Shen Yuhan got out of Shan Qihuan’s warm arms and climbed up quietly.

He opened the window a crack, and the autumn wind blew gently, cooled his arms, he quickly found a sweatshirt and put it on.

The sportswear made him look younger, and more and more similar to his original face.

Shen Yuhan touched his ears in the full-length mirror, he used to wear earrings, but they were relatively simple styles.

Now there are many piercings in his ears, he wanted to find his former self, he found a silver hoop that didn’t look too conspicuous in the jewelry bag, and put it on, it looked pretty.

Compared to the him before, his hair is shorter now.

In modern society, the majority of men prefer short hair, they opt for a clean and neat look, however, it doesn’t mean that men with long hair doesn’t exist, but it is relatively less common.

Shen Yuhan is considering whether or not to keep his hair long, in the past, he didn’t want to keep his hair long because it was difficult to dry it after washing, but now there are hair dryers that dry hair very quickly, so he can keep his long hair again.

Don’t know if Shan Qihuan likes him keeping long hair or not.

–

Shan Qihuan habitually laze around in bed on weekends, Shen Yuhan knew that he had a day off today, so he didn’t disturb him, he went downstairs to have breakfast, and then asked the driver to take him to class.

While in the car, Shen Yuhan sent Shan Qihuan a message that he was going to class.

“Husband, I’m going to class, can you meet me in the piano classroom at noon? Then we’ll go see Huang Shang and the others together.”

Shen Yuhan briefly told Shan Qihuan of the grievances that Huang Shang had mentioned, Shan Qihuan knew about them.

This morning was a one-on-one piano lesson, the one who taught him was an elegant male teacher, who spoke softly like water, dressed in a well-tailored three-piece suit, and sat upright at the piano, and was one of the gold-medal teachers in this music classroom, and the fees were also quite expensive.

The gold-medal teacher was not arrogant at all, he first found out whether Shen Yuhan knew music scores, and whether he had learned other musical instruments.

Shen Yuhan said he had learned to play Yaoqin¹瑤琴 (yáo qín): Yaoqin a precious musical instrument decorated with jade. Yaoqin is another name for Guqin, a plucked seven-string Chinese musical instrument. It has been played since ancient times, and has traditionally been favoured by scholars and literati as an instrument of great subtlety and refinement, as highlighted by the quote “a gentleman does not part with his qin or se without good reason,” as well as being associated with the ancient Chinese philosopher Confucius. Not to be confused with Guzheng. .

The gold-medal teacher praised him for his ability, and he will ask him for advice another day.

However, Shen Yuhan had never learned piano, he once heard someone say that the ruler of the Chu Kingdom had obtained a piano from the West, he wondered if it was the same as this one.

He is fortunate enough to be able to see them today, he seems to be luckier than the people of his time.

Shen Yuhan really had zero basic knowledge of piano, the gold-medal teacher started teaching from the pentatonic scale, then he found that Shen Yuhan couldn’t understand it very well, Shen Yuhan was also very helpless, he could talk about the guqin but couldn’t understand the pentatonic scale²五線譜 (wǔ xiàn pǔ): five-line notation; pentatonic scale, a musical scale with five notes per octave, in contrast to the heptatonic scale, which has seven notes per octave (such as the major scale and minor scale). the teacher was talking about, however, this was only the first day, and when he went back and thought about it, he found that it still had some similarities with the music scores he had read.

During class, Shen Yuhan didn’t know that there was a handsome man sitting in the reception area outside the music classroom.

At this moment, this man is attracting many girls who are standing outside, wondering whether they should enroll in the music class or not.

The time was around half past ten.

The person sitting in the rest area is none other than Shan Qihuan.

He slept until he woke up naturally today, the alarm clock was turned off at some point.

After getting up, he found that the position beside him was empty, and Shen Yuhan was nowhere to be found at home, only after looking at his mobile phone did he know that he had gone to class, Shan Qihuan went to wash his face and brush his teeth after knowing that he had not run away.

After a hasty breakfast, he found that there was a slight change at home, there was an additional dark blue narrow vase on the dining table, which was obviously narrow and thin, but it had several different kinds of flowers inserted into it, some long and some short, it’s just a work of art when placed on the table, he didn’t know how it was inserted, it doesn’t look like the handiwork of any of the aunties, so the only one left is Shen Yuhan, who is currently taking a flower arrangement class.

Is he that artistically gifted? It couldn’t be that his teacher had helped him insert it and then he brought it home, could it?

But when he think about the fact that he’s been so tired that he sleep as soon as he reach the pillow recently, he should have learned it by himself, seeing how hard he’s been working, it doesn’t really matter who did it.

There is no one calling husband, husband around him, it is quite boring, he doesn’t even want to turn on his computer or mobile phone, he is actually a little used to watching Shen Yuhan watching boring TV series after meals, he also particularly likes to watch poverty alleviation dramas, it’s unknown what his hobbies and interests are.

He used to invite friends out to play golf, or shooting, or have dinner with a few friends on weekends, and the day would pass.

But this week he didn’t make an appointment.

Looking at the lively chatting in the friend group, some people also proposed to have dinner together in the evening, but Shan Qihuan had no intention of joining, until Liu Tan invited him, and asked him if he could go out for tea or something in the afternoon.

Shan Qihuan promised Shen Yuhan to accompany him at noon to apologize, and directly said no, he had other things to do.

Liu Tan knew that after going through the start-up period, he paid more attention to rest, but most of the time he was either on business trips or hanging out with them, so how could he still have an appointment with someone else?

Liu Tan made a phone call: “Really don’t come out? We made an appointment to go to the clubhouse for lunch at noon, I heard that a graduate student has come, and I want to introduce you to him, Ding Quan told me last night that you may keep someone, is it true or not?”

Shan Qihuan: “What are you guessing, it doesn’t exist, don’t talk nonsense.”

If he dares to have someone outside, with Shen Yuhan, who loves to cry, the house will be flooded with water.

Liu Tan smiled: “He just casually mentioned to me, and didn’t say anything else.”

Shan Qihuan: “Don’t be so gossipy, let people misunderstand my character.”

Liu Tan: “I understand, this gossip only comes to me, end of story.”

Shan Qihuan: “I really have something to do today, so I won’t go, you guys have fun.”

Liu Tan: “Then I’ll talk to a few of them, it’s so mysterious.”

Shan Qihuan said in his heart, can’t it be mysterious, if Liu Tan and others knew that he was helping Shen Yuhan, they will laugh to death, they must not know about this matter, he made a guarantee that he and Shen Yuhan would be wellwater not interfering with the river water³井水不犯河水 (jǐng shuǐ bù fàn hé shuǐ): “wellwater not interfering with the river water”—two things keeping to themselves; everyone minding their own business; you should stay out of things that don’t concern you; with each going his own way. after they got married, and each will have their own lives.

But now, because Shen Yuhan always tried to ‘seduce’ him, he couldn’t immediately go to different places with Shen Yuhan, he had to figure out what Shen Yuhan wanted to do, and what he wanted to achieve in the end.

He listened to Shen Yuhan’s WeChat message to him once again.

But he really loves to call him his husband, the acting was quite decent⁴像模像樣 (xiàng mú xiàng yàng): solemn; presentable; decent; up to the mark; Describes a serious or grand appearance..

Muttering in his heart, this is how Shan Qihuan appeared at the piano studio where Shen Yuhan studied piano, and then became the temporary signboard of the piano studio.

The manager served him espresso and pastries, hoping that the face of this distinguished guest with elegant temperament would last longer.

–

Shen Yuhan’s class lasted from nine past thirty to eleven past thirty in the morning.

When he and his teacher came out, they saw a group of people sitting in the rest area, but the one who stood out the most was Shan Qihuan, who was playing games on his mobile phone.

Several girls deliberately sat next to him and chatting, they laughed coquettishly from time to time, all of them looked like girls from wealthy and influential family⁵大家閨秀 (dà jiā guī xiù): maiden in a rich and influential family; girl from a wealthy and influential family; unmarried daughter of a noble house; used to refer to the talented and virtuous women in the family, also refers to the daughter of a wealthy and powerful family., but some of them have their slender white thighs exposed, as if they want to attract Shan Qihuan’s attention!

How can that be done, Shan Qihuan is his husband!

Shen Yuhan immediately left the gold-medal teacher who was about to escort him out the door, and went directly over to declare the exclusive right of Shan Qihuan.

“Husband, have you been waiting for a long time?”

As soon as he spoke, everyone around him fell silent, including the gold-medal teacher behind him.

Shan Qihuan raised his head and put away his phone: “It hasn’t been long, are you done?”

“It’s done.” Shen Yuhan approached Shan Qihuan, “Shall we go?” He didn’t want his husband to notice the long white legs, which made him blush just looking at them.

The manager of the piano studio saw them off with a smile.

The gold-medal teacher asked the manager: “Who is that person?”

This is the most expensive piano studio in the industry, and all the people who can come here is either rich or noble.

The manager said: “You don’t recognize him, do you? It’s Shan Qihuan, a member of the Shan family.”

The gold-medal teacher nodded: “What is the relationship between Shen Yuhan and him?”

The manager said with great regret: “Husband and wife relationship, looks quite loving.”

The gold medal teacher smiled, it’s unknown whether this this love was true or not, he actually knew Shan Qiyun, another young master of the Shan family.

–

When Shan Qihuan and Shen Yuhan walked out of the piano studio, the sky was much darker than before they left the house, and the wind blew cold, Shen Yuhan’s clothes were already thin, so he shrank from the wind.

“Wearing so little, it’s weird if it’s not cold.” Shan Qihuan couldn’t help speaking to him.

Shen Yuhan said truthfully: “I didn’t find a thick coat when I left the house, thinking it wouldn’t be that cold, but who knew the wind had changed, and the temperature suddenly dropped. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a coat was draped over his shoulders, it was a casual coat, with the scent of Shan Qihuan’s unique perfume on it.

“I’m wearing your coat, what about you?”

“My physique is better than yours, wear it, if you get sick, you’ll have to have someone take care of you, it’s still a long way to the parking place.” This is a commercial street, and it’s not easy to park, so he parked a little further away.

Shen Yuhan really didn’t like trouble people: “Thank you, Husband.”

Shan Qihuan glanced at him, and thought to himself, why does he love to thank himself so much.

“You don’t have to say thank you all the time.”

“Okay.” After Shan Qihuan reminded him, Shen Yuhan realized that Shan Qihuan was his husband, so he really didn’t need to keep thanking him.

When the red light stopped, they had to cross the road, there were many pedestrians, Shen Yuhan almost couldn’t keep up with Shan Qihuan, in his haste to catch up with Shen Yuhan, he was almost hit by a hurried pedestrian, but Shan Qihuan turned around and pulled him back.

Wearing his husband’s clothes, and also being held by his husband, Shen Yuhan’s face began to feel hot.

Although the two of them slept in the same bed, they never consummated their marriage, and rarely had any physical contact, being caught off guard⁶猝不及防 (cù bù jí fáng): to be caught off guard; without warning; to be taken by surprise; be caught unawares; be caught on the hop; be caught off balance., Shen Yuhan’s heartbeat quickened and he couldn’t help but hold Shan Qihuan back, just gently, not daring to use too much force.

It’s still outside, and there are many people.

After crossing the road, Shan Qihuan released Shen Yuhan’s hand.

Shen Yuhan put his hand with a lingering warmth into his pocket, and curled his fingers, wanting his husband to hold him for a little longer.

Meanwhile, Shan Qihuan was a little silent.

Shen Yuhan is not a three-year-old child, so why should he be worried.

But he had just seen panic flashing in Shen Yuhan’s eyes, he must have been confused.

–

Fuyuan Plaza.

Huang Shang sent an address to Shen Yuhan, it was in one of the restaurants in Fuyuan Building, they deliberately chose seats in the lobby, just to make Shen Yuhan feel embarrassed later, and to let others around him see his embarrassing situation.

Ning Zhe, who had a pimple on the tip of his nose, asked Huang Shang: “Can we do this? There are many people coming and going in this place.”

Huang Shang said: “What’s wrong with it, it’s Shen Yuhan who lost face, not you, I’ve arranged everything, later, Xiao Ming will hide and take a video of Shen Yuhan apologizing. How he bullied you in the past, is how you will bully him back now, take advantage of his illness to kill him, do you understand?”

A few friends beside him also agreed: “Huang Shang is right, you must not be soft-hearted, Brother Zhe, you are just too soft-hearted, if you had told us at the beginning, you wouldn’t have been bullied by him all the time, we would definitely have helped you!”

Recalling the feeling of humiliation, Ning Zhe’s eyes filled with anger: “Okay, let him apologize to me, and let him be on trending searches, so that everyone will know that he has bullied me!”

After waiting for nearly ten minutes, the person they were waiting for finally arrived.

The person came, but not alone.

At this time, Shen Yuhan had already found them.

As a show of courage, he took the initiative to introduce Shan Qihuan to the group of men: “This is my husband Shan Qihuan.”

Shan Qihuan deliberately wore a tight black thin sweater before going out, his tall figure played an important role at this moment.

Shan Qihuan nodded towards them, and scanned them with sharp eyes: “Hello.”

Huang Shang and others: “…”

Why do you still need to bring your husband, who looks good at fighting, when you apologize!

Apparently, guqin and guzheng is not the same. Guqin is a plucked seven-string instrument, while guzheng have 21 strings (modern guzheng also has a 25 or 26 strings variety). Youtube link for guqin 《何以歌》 Nameless Song, and guzheng (and drum) 《權御天下》 Sun Quan The Emperor.
