Chapter 955: Slap in the Face! (Part 1)
Looking around, indeed she didn’t see her car.
"Did you take a taxi here?"
Xia Weibao smiled and didn’t answer.
If he wants to think so, let him. She flew here, which she couldn’t explain.
"Get in the car."
Gong Sirui expressionlessly opened the car door and got in; Xia Weibao thought this man was truly impolite.
If she was riding Lu Hualiang’s car, he would open the door for her and then respectfully see her in.
In the car, the two were silent, just like when Gong Sirui had previously driven her back to the dorm, without exchanging a word.
Xia Weibao wasn’t someone who talked a lot either, so since the other party didn’t want to speak, she simply closed her eyes and slept.
Gong Sirui glanced at her expressionlessly and focused on driving.
Yan Yuexian had more than once said in front of him that Xia Weibao spoiled her Rose Garden, and she disliked her, so naturally he wouldn’t have much contact either.
Returning to Imperial City University, it was already past ten at night, and Gong Sirui dropped her off at the set entrance.
Xia Weibao said thank you and then hurriedly went to the shoot.
Tonight was a night shoot, and she was already two hours late, estimating that Director Shen was about to blow up!
Luckily, her current status was significant enough that after explaining the delay, Safety Shen didn’t blame her.
He had her go and get made up quickly.
Filming continued until nearly dawn, at which point Xia Weibao dragged her tired body back to sleep.
She woke up in the afternoon to continue filming, with only two scenes, and after finishing, Han Luoqi took her out for a stroll.
They happened to run into Ruan Shushu’s two good friends Xiao Xue and Xiao Lan, and from their conversation, they heard that Ruan Shushu didn’t return all night and when she came back this morning, she was extremely haggard and had a fever.
Xia Weibao didn’t pay it much attention, a fever was nothing, a visit to the hospital would solve it.
At eight in the evening, she went to the Zither Practice Room as promised to teach Yan Yuexian how to play the zither.
Yan Yuexian had been practicing these past two days, more proficiently than Xia Weibao had expected.
Her talent was high, she had strong comprehension, and she was hardworking and resilient.
Xia Weibao had previously thought that if she were to pass the Fuxi Finger Technique to a guqin student, she would choose Ruan Shushu, but it seemed now Yan Yuexian was more suitable.
However, this young girl seemed to have some opinions about her.
"The day before yesterday, you asked me to pick a music sheet for the competition, and I chose ’Xiao Xiang Shui Yun’, how about it?"
Yan Yuexian carefully looked at Xia Weibao after asking, unsure if this one was okay.
She was quite familiar with this piece and had worked hard for the finals.
Xia Weibao was a bit taken aback, seemingly not expecting her to choose this piece.
Seeing her remain silent, Yan Yuexian bit her lip, "Is it not okay? Then I’ll change it."
In terms of the zither, she held deep respect for Xia Weibao.
Because her level was so high, like a god to her, far more powerful than her teachers abroad.
However, her respect for Xia Weibao was limited to the zither; in everyday matters, she acted as she pleased and was as targeted as needed.
"No, it’s fine."
She was just a bit surprised.
Back when Ruan Shushu was pestering her to learn the Fuxi Finger Technique, she also chose this piece.
’Xiao Xiang Shui Yun’ is one of the top ten famous guqin melodies, created by Guo Chuwang of the Southern Song Dynasty.
Amid the turmoil and displacement of the Southern Song, Guo Chuwang wandered around, deeply feeling the rise and fall of the nation, thus using the reflections of water and clouds to express repressed emotions and affectionate feelings.
The music employs the unique techniques of the guqin, like ’yan’ and ’rou’, sometimes bold and robust, describing scenes of vast clouds and shimmering waters, expressing sentiments for the fragmented state of the country and deep patriotic fervor.
It is widely circulated.
