My wife is in my arms

Chapter 1362 The Stone Screening (November 11)
It was already dark outside.

Compared to a while ago when the city sky was ablaze with fireworks every night, it has become less frequent these past two days. Occasionally, a beam of light shoots into the sky, briefly reflecting off the windowsill.

In the music room on the third floor.

The soothing and lingering sound of the violin filled the air, each flowing note emerging from Li Ran's small hands as she pulled the bow. Xu Qingya stared intently at Li Ran.

Jiang Yiren held her eldest son without disturbing Li Ran.

She glanced down at her eldest son and was immediately overjoyed. Her son wasn't sleeping; instead, he was staring at her with his big, round eyes.

Her eldest son doesn't understand yet, but in a few years he'll probably idolize his junior sister to death, and then... As she thought about it, Jiang Yiren's gaze towards Li Ran became more solicitous.

Wang Yu and Han Hui also looked at their young apprentice, Zhang You.

The way the violin was played... it really evoked a sense of melancholy and reluctance in the ears. Zhang You had been observing Xu Qingya's expression changes. When he saw his second brother first stare blankly and then widen his eyes, Zhang You couldn't help but smile.

After Li Ran finished, Zhang You could no longer control himself and burst into laughter.

"How about it!??"

Zhang You asked Xu Qingya with a smile.

Zhang You couldn't help but marvel at the musical talent his little apprentice had shown. She hadn't been studying with Xu Qingya for very long; just the last couple of days after the New Year, Zhang You had taught Xiao Zishan to play the background music for "Wishing You a Safe Journey" once in the evening. Li Ran thought it sounded nice, and Zhang You jokingly suggested that she play it on the violin.

He even found the sheet music for her. In addition, because Future Boys' album "Youth Supreme" sold well, some netizens on short videos were already interpreting the background music of this song on the violin, and Zhang You also showed it to her on his phone.

Then, as the girl watched, she actually managed to poop.

Sometimes, talent is something that can't be judged by common sense. A talented child can figure out a problem after a good night's sleep, while a child without talent can just sleep.

Xu Qingya remained silent for a long time.

After a while, she said, "There are a few mistakes, but it's okay."

Besides that, Xu Qingya couldn't say anything more. She couldn't very well say that she wasn't even half as good as Li Ran when she was young! That would be too embarrassing.

"Just be tough!"

Zhang You chuckled and replied, then ruffled Li Ran's hair, saying, "You really made your master look good tonight."

Done.

Zhang You laughed a few more times.

Wang Yu and Han Hui exchanged glances, but neither of them said anything.

Despite the high daily box office of "Crazy Stone" after only a few days of release, Zhang You didn't seem particularly happy. But when Li Ran played a complete violin piece, Zhang You was overjoyed.

This means that in Zhang You's heart, his little apprentice's success is more important than how much money he makes. But to be fair, Li Ran is indeed quite amazing. If talent were ranked, she would be at the highest level.

"How long has she been learning? She can already play a complete piece, and she plays it so well!" Next, it was Xu Qingya's turn to instruct Li Ran. After watching for a while, the group went downstairs.

"Li Ran is capable of carrying on your mantle."

Han Hui spoke.

"It's also because this girl has talent."

Zhang You chuckled and replied, then turned and called up to the third floor, "Second brother, teach him well. Once he's learned it, he can get the song from me. Just a heads up, my memory's been a bit off lately. If you teach him too slowly, I might forget which song I'm going to give you, and it wouldn't be good if I gave you a bad one."

"Don't give me that," Xu Qingya's voice came through, "I don't want any of them except that one."

"Then show me your true skills."

Zhang You replied.

Han Hui and Wang Yu stayed in the living room on the second floor to chat with Jiang Yiren. Zhang You came to the courtyard and saw the two Zhongxia sisters, as well as Xiao Zishan and Xiao Lanlan. Seeing that the four girls were having fun in the courtyard, he did not disturb them.

Zhong Xue will be returning to school tomorrow afternoon. High school students start school earlier. Before the New Year, he inquired about Zhong Xue's studies. This girl's grades are much better than her sister's. She always ranks among the top in her class in every exam, which is enough. As long as she performs steadily in the college entrance examination, it shouldn't be too difficult for her to get into a second-tier university.

"Master"

Seeing her master approach, Zhongxia walked to his side. As Zhang You looked at her in confusion, she took out the New Year's money she had received this year from her pocket and handed it to him.

"What! You're already planning to show your respect to your master!?"

Zhang You made a joke.

I want you to save this for me.

Zhongxia hesitated for a long time before replying.

"Saving my ass! You and Zhong Xue's meager New Year's money and you still need your master to save it for you? Do you really think your master's appearance fee is low? If you want me to guide you in investing, just say so."

talking.

Zhang You accepted the red envelope that Zhong Xia handed over.

Since this girl also wants to invest in TV dramas, then let's just put this money in there. This year, the two sisters received a lot of lucky money during the Spring Festival, which totaled more than 200,000 yuan, and they all carried it with them... Zhang You wasn't afraid of losing it, nor was he worried that the girl would spend it recklessly. He was mainly worried that the girl would go astray if she suddenly had so much money. If he really lost money after accepting it, he, as her master, could just pay to make up for it.

If this girl didn't exist with him as her master, Zhang You wouldn't say anything and would let her be. If she stayed with him, Zhang You would keep her.

Having her thoughts exposed by her master, Zhongxia scratched her head somewhat embarrassedly. Zhang You patted her on the shoulder and said, "You still have a year and a half, enjoy your university life."

"I know"

Zhongxia quickly replied.

Before he could chat with the girl for long, Zhongxia was dragged away by Xiaoshan to play Eagle Catches Chicks with Xiaolanlan. Zhang You smiled as he watched Zhongxia's laughter.

Time really flies. In the blink of an eye, this girl is already a sophomore. She'll be a junior in the fall of this year, and by her senior year she'll be able to do an internship. By then, Zhongxia should be making her debut.

About an hour later, Xu Qingya finished her lesson. After Xiao Lanlan was led away by Wang Yu, Zhang You called the three girls upstairs to take a bath and go to bed.

Zhang You lifted the covers, leaned against the headboard to check the album sales of Future Boys, then put his phone on the bedside table to charge and was just about to go to sleep when his diva walked in carrying his eldest son.

After putting her eldest son down, Jiang Yiren went to her husband's side and said, "You said you'd give me a few days off for the New Year, and I did, but this holiday can't go on forever! Zhongxue is about to start school, so you need to start school early too."

"That was high school; I was in elementary school."

Zhang You replied.

"That's not very meaningful."

Jiang Yiren smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang, let me tell you the truth: if you don't physically attack me tonight, I will personally attack you. You choose one."

"...".
