The King's Enchanting-Chapter 1620 - 1633: Playing the Piano (2)

"I..." Jian Anning didn’t know what to say. She could feel Yu Zexiao’s meaning—that her father’s death was merely an accident, and she shouldn’t blame herself entirely for such a tragic event. Even if she was truly at fault, ten years of self-punishment was enough. He didn’t want to see her continue being so heartbroken.

"Anning, I think not only me but even your father wouldn’t want to see you sink into despair. You have talent; your music has the power to move people. I truly hope you can muster the courage to forget the past. Even if you take this stage and play the piano, it doesn’t mean you don’t love your father."

"Zexiao..." Jian Anning looked at him, unsure of what to say. After a long pause, she painfully furrowed her brow: "Zexiao, I know everything you’re saying, but I still..."

She laughed self-mockingly, "Besides, even if I wanted to play the piano, these ten years of neglect, ten years of wandering, cannot be easily remedied just like that."

Some things, once missed, are simply missed. Not to mention the piano skills—ten years of unfamiliarity cannot be made up overnight.

"I just hope you won’t reject the piano and don’t let the piano become the shackles that bind you." Yu Zexiao’s words made Jian Anning lower her head slightly. She didn’t know how to choose. Of course, she knew the piano was not wrong; the fault lay with her. But after that drastic change ten years ago, beyond blaming herself for everything, she truly didn’t know how to dispel this guilt!

"I..." Jian Anning really didn’t know what to say; it took her a while to respond: "I can’t. My skills are so poor, how can I play the piano with you..."

"You mean you’ll agree to play with me, even if it’s not today, but in the future?" When Yu Zexiao heard her words, he immediately brightened up—this was the sentence he had been waiting for!

"I..." Jian Anning was just about to refuse when beside her, John Gruber smiled: "Moon, if it’s you, you can still practice with Zreo and Anni! Music needs everyone to communicate together to be richer."

With the words from the master she most respected, Jian Anning finally didn’t know what to say. After a long while, she just nodded: "Well then, Master, I might bother you sometime in the future..."

"You’re welcome, you’re welcome." John Gruber smiled too, mischievously winking at her, "I’m currently composing a symphony. Your musical sense is excellent; you can also give me some advice during the creation."

"Master, you’re being too kind." Jian Anning felt a bit nervously overwhelmed, which made everyone in the room laugh. After settling this matter, Yu Zexiao took her hand towards the stage, where in the center was a black and white piano.

"Anning, you can try to put your hands on the piano keys..." He guided her hand forward and gently placed her fingertips on the keys. The cool piano keys seemed to have a texture like jade, and with a slight touch, the sensation spread from her fingertips to her whole body!

The familiar music, as if capable of stirring her soul, felt like waves crashing against the shore, impacting her soul.
