"Mm."
"But you play just as beautifully."
Luo Yanqing had recently been doing the stay-at-home dad routine and, of course, included playing tunes on the erhu for Ruirui and the other two during the music appreciation time Kang Li had scheduled.
The erhu was a gift from an elderly person who had also taught Luo Yanqing how to play it.
At that time, Luo Yanqing was still young, placed in an orphanage by the relevant authorities, and the elder was a staff member there. One day, Luo Yanqing heard the elder play the erhu and found it pleasing. So, after completing his homework on weekends and hearing the elder play, he would silently stand by and listen.
This back-and-forth made them familiar with each other, and the elder asked if Luo Yanqing would like to learn. Without hesitation, Luo Yanqing nodded, and from then on, whenever he had a holiday, he would stick close to the elder to learn while the latter was free.
Regrettably, the elder fell seriously ill before Luo Yanqing was sent abroad by the country for further studies. Knowing Luo Yanqing was about to leave, the elder personally handed his erhu to Luo Yanqing, urging him to study hard overseas and if he ever missed his homeland, to play the erhu.
He also implored Luo Yanqing to return home after completing his studies, so as not to let down the country’s years of nurturing.
With such a story behind it, Luo Yanqing understandably cherished his erhu. Therefore, many years after he received the erhu from the elder’s hands, he would carefully wipe it down whenever he was at home.
His choice to play the erhu for Ruirui and the others came about when Kang Li accidentally saw Luo Yanqing wiping the erhu in the study a few days earlier and casually asked if she could borrow it.
Luo Yanqing hesitated, but ultimately nodded in agreement.
"Not as well as she plays."
After replying to Director Song, Luo Yanqing’s lips curved slightly, and he fell silent for a good while.
In the living room.
