189 Valentine’s Day Tactical Probe
Fair and slender fingers danced on the keys, moving nimbly and smoothly, but there was only a faint “tap-tap” sound in the room, not a trace of piano music.
Because Pei Ningle was playing a MIDI keyboard at this moment.
The keyboard was connected to the computer, the computer was plugged into headphones, and the headphones were on the girl’s head, so only she could hear her own performance.
Suddenly, Pei Ningle stopped, moved her fingers and wrists, and took off the headphones.
She smiled at her best friend and manager beside her. “This is great. I used to worry about disturbing the neighbors when practicing piano at home. The soundproofing of this apartment is poor, so I didn’t dare to sing loudly, let alone practice piano.”
Han Yixuan smiled. “Such a high-end keyboard must produce great sound effects, right?”
Pei Ningle blinked. “High-end? This is just a MIDI keyboard, not high-end.”
The smile on Han Yixuan’s face froze slightly. “It costs thousands of yuan, and it’s not considered high-end?”
Pei Ningle explained, “There are cheap music things too, but the effect is hard to say. I originally planned to use a cheap MIDI keyboard without weighted keys, but now that I have Chang Wen’s sponsorship fee, I can buy something good. However, a MIDI keyboard is originally a relatively basic equipment, not that high-end. But if I want to buy more things, I might need to rent a new apartment…”
Han Yixuan’s smile was completely frozen. “She gave you a hundred thousand, and you plan to spend it all on these?”
Pei Ningle was a little confused. “Where else should I spend it?”
Looking at her expression, Han Yixuan was finally sure. This girl really didn’t consider changing her phone, nor did she plan to buy some clothes or bags.
Of course, what made her even more speechless was the price of these musical instruments…
But Han Yixuan still couldn’t help but persuade, “But you can’t spend all this money like this, right? I see you’re still using Dabao. Don’t you consider changing to better skincare products?”
Pei Ningle retorted, “Will better skincare products be very useful?”
Han Yixuan: “Probably… yes.”
“Then I can buy some to try later, but I’ll use my own money,” Pei Ningle said as she handed the headphones over. “By the way, do you want to listen to what I just played? It’s already recorded.”
Han Yixuan nodded and put on the headphones.
The next moment, light music sounded.
Han Yixuan blurted out subconsciously, “This is a music box!”
Pei Ningle: “Yes, yes, you can adjust the sound quality of the played tune yourself, which is the best part. Of course, this time I used the settings built into the software, which is very convenient.”
The tune wasn’t long, only about two minutes.
Han Yixuan finished listening to this smooth performance with almost no mistakes, took off the headphones, and praised, “Little Le is really getting better and better!”
But Pei Ningle shook her head. “The difficulty of this tune is very low, I can handle it. If the difficulty is higher, more complex tunes, then there’s no way. I’m just self-taught, there’s still a lot I need…”
Before she finished speaking, there was a sudden knock on the door.
The two girls looked at each other.
Han Yixuan whispered, “Who is it?”
Pei Ningle: “How would I know?”
Han Yixuan: “Then I’ll go check.”
The girl walked to the door and looked out through the peephole.
It was actually Ye Xun.
Han Yixuan thought calmly, then put on an impeccable smile and opened the door. “Why is Little Xun here?”
Ye Xun also had a smile on her small face. “I’m going to the martial arts gym later. Passing by here with some time, I came to see if you guys were in.”
“Then come in and sit for a while,” Han Yixuan invited enthusiastically. “Little Le just played a music box tune, it’s very nice. Do you want to listen?”
Ye Xun readily agreed—today, the girl’s acting skills finally seemed to have improved, and she didn’t show any particularly stiff places in front of the two enemies.
She sat next to Pei Ningle, put on the headphones, and listened quietly.
Two minutes later, Ye Xun took off the headphones and applauded while saying, “It’s really great, Sister Little Le is so amazing!”
The corners of Pei Ningle’s mouth couldn’t help but curl up, but she didn’t forget to be modest when speaking: “Just average, mainly because the difficulty of this tune is low…”
Three girls sat on the sofa, Ye Xun in the middle, the other two sitting on the left and right, chatting and laughing, a harmonious scene.
But just after chatting with Pei Ningle, Ye Xun suddenly turned to look at Han Yixuan and asked, “Sister Little Xuan, I heard you already have a boyfriend, and I know this boyfriend too, right?”
Han Yixuan became secretly vigilant, but her expression remained calm. “Yes, his name is Wang Heng…”
“Then do you have any plans for today?” Ye Xun threw out the follow-up question. “Today is Valentine’s Day. You must have prepared gifts and are going on a date, right?”
Han Yixuan was stunned instantly.
In the past few days, she had been busy helping Pei Ningle with things and previewing the textbooks for the next semester, so she didn’t have much leisure to care about Valentine’s Day. Plus, now that she had taken the advantage with the identity of a shield, and there was no opportunity for a breakthrough in her relationship with Wang Heng for a while, so Valentine’s Day or whatever, of course, meant nothing.
But no matter what, she never expected that today, Ye Xun would take this opportunity to probe!
Han Yixuan glanced at Pei Ningle beside her.
Pei Ningle was stunned for two seconds, then came back to her senses—I can’t undermine Little Xuan, otherwise the shield will fail, and Ye Xun will return to the battlefield!
After getting Pei Ningle’s gaze assurance, Han Yixuan stared at Ye Xun and smiled. “Of course we have an appointment. I’m going to find him later.”
Ye Xun blinked and pressed, “Then what are you going to do?”
Han Yixuan took a breath, feeling slightly tricky.
This Little Xun was younger than everyone else. Relying on this, it seemed she could ask some ‘childish and unscrupulous’ questions?
However, Han Yixuan didn’t expect that the other party would be ‘unscrupulous’ to this extent…
“Are you going to a hotel tonight?”
As soon as Ye Xun finished speaking, Pei Ningle’s eyes widened, and Han Yixuan couldn’t help but cough.
After sorting out her emotions, Han Yixuan asked back as calmly as possible, “Why would we go to a hotel?”
Ye Xun: “Don’t adult couples all do this?”
Han Yixuan: “Do you have some misunderstanding… Not all couples progress so fast!”
Ye Xun suddenly realized. “So your progress is slow?”
Hearing this, Han Yixuan shivered inwardly.
Sure enough, she couldn’t be too careless. Although this Ye Xun had poor acting skills, she wasn’t as easy to deal with as Little Le. And obviously, her visit today was premeditated!
