My wife is in my arms

Chapter 803 Little Girl Four
Li Ran

Jiang Yiren seemed not to hear her husband's words and continued to ask.

Xiao Zishan blinked a few times, then said, "Dad, I want to play the piano," and jumped off the sofa, grabbing Zhang You's arm to go upstairs.

"I told you not to ask, not to ask."

Zhang You smiled and said something, then let Xiao Zishan drag him up to the third floor.

Seeing Xiao Zishan leave, Li Ran was also eager to join in, but she didn't stand up immediately. From her daughter's reaction, Jiang Yiren already knew the answer.

Li Ran must have done very well on the exam.

"You should go too!"

Jiang Yiren suppressed her urge to cause trouble for Xiao Zishan and smiled as she gestured.

Upon hearing Jiang Yiren's words, Li Ran quickly chased after Xiao Zishan. Soon after, mournful piano music came from upstairs. Jiang Yiren knew that Xiao Zishan was pestering her father to play "The Song of Remembrance" again.

The little girl was too young to understand the sadness in the melody; she only felt that she sang along when her father played it, which is why she liked it so much.

However, a pure piano piece doesn't quite capture the same emotional impact and sorrow as when combined with a soothing violin and strings. After the piece was finished, Jiang Yiren called out to the third floor, "Change to 'Thoughts Across Time'!"

She had barely finished speaking.

The sadness upstairs spread again, and Jiang Yiren felt a little suffocated.

Between his wife and daughter, Mr. Zhang undoubtedly chose to listen to his daughter. About twenty minutes later, Zhang You came downstairs.

"Mr. Zhang, if you had to choose between me and your daughter, who would you choose?!"

Jiang Yiren stared at her husband's figure appearing in the living room on the second floor and asked coldly.

"You have the nerve to be jealous of your own daughter?!"

Zhang You replied with a smile.

Then, he picked up the remote and switched the TV series that the singer was watching to an outdoor variety show.

Could you please answer this?

Jiang Yiren asked.

Zhang You pulled her close, turned and kissed Jiang Yiren's rosy lips twice. This time, he said, "That's enough!" As he spoke, his hand, which had tossed the remote control onto the sofa, casually covered Jiang Yiren's breasts, her most prominent feature. Before he could even make a move, Jiang Yiren quickly said, "Enough, enough!"

"hehe"

Zhang You chuckled twice.

Released by her husband, Jiang Yiren quickly looked towards the stairwell leading from the second to the third floor. Relieved to see no sign of the two girls, she glared at her husband and said, "Don't you even know where you're going?"

"It's not like we're outside..."

Zhang You was about to reply casually, but before he could finish speaking, he froze. Jiang Yiren's expression also turned to surprise. The couple subconsciously turned to look at the stairwell.

"This……"

Jiang Yiren exclaimed in surprise.

Zhang You didn't speak, but listened carefully.

A mournful piano melody drifted from the third floor. Although there were several mistakes, most of the playing was fine, and the sound continued to emanate from there… Zhang You got up and went upstairs.

Wearing a light pink nightgown, Jiang Yiren quickly followed.

At this moment, she was filled with immense joy. Her daughter had been learning from her father for so long, and finally, she had made great progress. Judging from the sound of her playing, although she was not yet very skilled, and did not have her husband's ability to imbue each note with the marks of time, she was already imitating the style quite well.

Just say it!

With such good genes from her husband, there's no reason why Xiao Zishan wouldn't do well in her studies and wouldn't have any talent in music. But look... she's made a qualitative leap all of a sudden.

Looking at the little girl playing the piano, Jiang Yiren suddenly stopped in her tracks. The joy that had welled up in her heart vanished instantly, because the person playing the piano was not her daughter, but her daughter's classmate, Li Ran.

The little girl's hands danced back and forth on the piano keys. Jiang Yiren was about to say something when Zhang You raised his hand to stop her. Zhang You's eyes were fixed on Li Ran, who was playing the piano.

Seemingly sensing the presence of two people behind her, the piano music abruptly stopped. Li Ran turned around and saw Zhang You and his wife. Her face paled, and she quickly said, "Uncle..."

"fine"

Seeing the little girl's expression, Zhang You knew that she thought he didn't like his piano being moved around, which was why she was reacting this way. Zhang You quickly spoke up to comfort her, and then asked with a smile, "Li Ran, how long have you been learning piano?"

"Dad, Li Ran has never learned to play the piano."

Before Li Ran could answer, Xiao Zishan replied for her with a grin.

"You haven't learned it!?"

Zhang You's expression suddenly changed.

Even Jiang Yiren's eyes were filled with disbelief, because the playing just now was not something a child who had never learned to play the piano could produce.

Although the pure piano version of "The Song of Remembrance" isn't difficult, her daughter and her father have been working on it for so long, and they still haven't reached Li Ran's level. Zhang You stared at Li Ran and said, "You really haven't studied it?!"

"Um"

Li Ran nodded in agreement.

Zhang You didn't say anything more, but pulled Li Ran to his side and took her hand to examine it carefully.

"Your fingers aren't long at all! They're not even as long as my little Shan's!"

Jiang Yiren thought her husband wanted to check the length of Li Ran's fingers, so after her husband spread out Li Ran's fingers, she immediately said something, and then turned to look at her daughter and said, "Are you a pig?!"

"I'm not"

Xiao Zishan quickly shook her head.

"..."

For a moment, Jiang Yiren was a little angry.

This is the girl she gave birth to. She received the best education; her mother is a pop diva, and her father is a top music composer and a piano master. Yet, she still has poor grades and can't even play the piano well.

On the other hand, what about Li Ran? It's one thing to have good grades, but the key issue is that she can play most of the piano pieces based on the few times her husband played them not long ago, without having any formal piano lessons.

Contrary to Jiang Yiren's expectations, Zhang You wasn't looking at the length of Li Ran's fingers.

Many people believe that piano masters should have long, slender fingers, but that doesn't really matter.

Zhang You observed the whorl pattern on Li Ran's fingers. Generally, the denser the whorl pattern on the left ring finger, the more sensitive the child is to musical melodies and the greater their ability to perceive sound. In layman's terms, such a child possesses musical talent.

The whorl pattern on the left ring finger is just one of the criteria for judgment. Another criterion is that the whorl pattern on the right middle finger is "3" and the others are "1". The left thumb is "5 or 6", the index finger is "3" and the others are also "1".

After reading it, Zhang You had a general idea of ​​what was going on.

However, he did not use the whorl pattern as the primary basis for judgment. Instead, he smiled and patted Li Ran's head, saying, "Li Ran, now Uncle will play a piece of music. You should write it down according to your understanding and then play it for Uncle."
