Chapter 48 Red Bean
Tian Jingyi was initially worried that Chen Yan was affected by her, but she was relieved to see that Chen Yan did not show any displeasure.

The next second, Chen Yan's fingertips swept across the black and white piano keys.

The music was melodious and slow, with a touch of sadness, but what surprised Tian Jingyi even more was that, for some reason, she felt a sense of familiarity with the music, as if she had vaguely heard it somewhere before.

As the music progressed, the sense of familiarity grew stronger, and Tian Jingyi vaguely had an answer in her heart, but there was still a last trace of doubt.

Until the climax of the entire piece arrives!
"Ah!" Tian Jingyi subconsciously opened her mouth and made a sound, but the next second she covered her mouth with her hand, though she was humming along to the tune in her heart.

'I haven't yet cooked red beans for you, to transform them into a lingering wound.'

'Then, sharing it together will help us understand the sorrow of longing even more.'

……

The entire piece lasted only a little over four minutes, and as the last note fell, the entire practice room fell silent.

Tian Jingyi's heart was filled with surprise and doubt. She really liked this song and had been listening to it a lot recently, so she was very surprised that Chen Yan could play it.

However, she also wondered if she was just imagining things. Perhaps Chen Yan had just been listening to this song recently and that's why he played it, and it had nothing to do with her.

In the end, it was Chen Yan who broke the silence.

"How about it?"

As the sound rang out, Tian Jingyi looked up at Chen Yan, only to see him raising his eyebrows slightly and looking at her with a smile in his eyes.

For some reason, although neither of them said it directly, Tian Jingyi understood what the other meant just by looking at each other.

Chen Yan played this song because she liked it.

"How did you know I've been listening to this song lately?" she asked Chen Yan, looking at him with a mixture of doubt and anticipation.

"Oh, you mean that?" Chen Yan stretched his arms and smiled, "QQ shows the songs you've been listening to recently, how about that?"

"You played very well." Tian Jingyi expressed her praise without hesitation, then asked, "Do you have anything else to do this afternoon?"

"It seems like nothing's wrong." Chen Yan shook his head. "Is there anywhere you'd like to go?"

Tian Jingyi nodded solemnly, "Yes."

"where?"

"Rental room".

Chen Yan: "?"

……

After arriving at the rental house as quickly as possible, the entire house was filled with chaos and noise for the next hour.

"A phrase suddenly came to mind." Chen Yan patted Tian Jingyi's buttocks, the soft yet elastic feel of which was slightly addictive, so he couldn't help but squeeze it a couple more times, and said, "Would you call this being both bad at it and fond of playing around?"

Tian Jingyi didn't speak, but looked at Chen Yan with a resentful gaze.

"Okay, can you still move? How about I help you take a bath?"

"I can move, I can move, I can wash myself." The second battle that happened in the bathroom last time still made Tian Jingyi feel lingering fear. Now, when she heard that Chen Yan was going to help her take a bath, her original desire to stay in bed vanished instantly.

However, as she ran towards the bathroom, her legs felt slightly weak, and she almost stumbled and fell.

……

Around 5 p.m., Tian Jingyi decided to go back to school first. Although Chen Yan tried to persuade her to stay, he still couldn't change her mind.

It wasn't that she was worried about Chen Yan doing anything to her; in matters of relationships, Chen Yan was quite respectful and generally wouldn't force her to do things she didn't want to do. What Tian Jingyi was really worried about was that she herself wouldn't be able to resist the temptation of his good looks and would get entangled with Chen Yan again, which would probably mean she'd be bedridden all day tomorrow.

So around 5 p.m., the two of them left home together and headed towards school.

……

On the road.

Tian Jingyi suddenly asked, "Um, do you want to go to the hospital to get it checked out?"

"Hmm?" Chen Yan asked, somewhat puzzled. "Is there something wrong with my body?"

“I’ve heard that being too strong in that area is a problem… Yours is a bit too strong, maybe we should go to the hospital to get it checked out.” Tian Jingyi’s voice grew softer and softer until it was barely a whisper.

Chen Yan turned his head and saw a blush spreading from her ears to her neck.

"It's not that I'm too good, it's that you're too bad."

"Mmm!" If the blush just now was due to shyness, then now it's a warm blush combined with shyness.

"What did you say? What if someone hears us?" Tian Jingyi covered Chen Yan's mouth and glared at him fiercely.

Chen Yan blinked, but his eyes seemed to carry a hint of "provocation" and "come and fight if you dare" in them.

Tian Jingyi wanted to refute, but she was indeed a weakling... The more she thought about it, the angrier she got, and finally she couldn't help but gently bite Chen Yan's shoulder.

"Alright, alright, stop fooling around, we're at school." Chen Yan rubbed Tian Jingyi's head, and then they walked into the school one after the other.

……

Adhering to the spirit of "since we're already here," Chen Yan didn't choose to skip his elective class that evening, but instead obediently listened to the teacher's lecture in the classroom.

After two classes, it was already 8:30 p.m. Chen Yan first went to the playground to run a few laps to complete the campus running task, and then headed towards his rented room.

As usual, Chen Yan walked into the residential area. Just as he entered his building, he saw the elevator doors slowly closing, so he instinctively called out.

"Wait a moment."

As soon as he finished speaking, the elevator doors, which were already two-thirds closed, slowly opened, and Chen Yan saw the person inside.

"Good evening, Brother Feng." Chen Yan greeted him, then subtly observed Zheng Feng.

Zheng Feng's performance tonight wasn't great either...

Although he wasn't drunk this time, Chen Yan could smell a distinct odor of cigarettes on him, and his dark circles were even more pronounced, clearly indicating that he hadn't rested properly. As for his mental state, Chen Yan felt even more uneasy.

His face was noticeably flushed, indicating that he was extremely excited, and at the same time, there was a sense of perfect release after being suppressed to the extreme.

This reminded Chen Yan of two things: pornography and gambling... The most likely cause of someone's state of mind is one of these two things.

Just now.
