Chapter 21 - Chapter 21: Miss Lingyun is talented

Shen Fenglian said there was no need to worry on her side, so Xia Yingxing could only choose to trust her.

But it was hard to say for Xia Yingxing.

Even though Xia Yingxing was a young lady, she was no longer the same Xia Yingxing as before.

Although the original owner was not in good health, she at least knew some things, such as musical instruments, calligraphy, and painting.

As for now... as long as she's happy.

The good news was that Ling Yun said she would teach her.

To get rid of the title of Sickly Princess, just singing wouldn't be enough. Singing alone wouldn't prove anything, but if she could sing and dance at the same time, then they would know that Xia Yingxing was not as delicate as they imagined.

After all, singing and dancing are very demanding physically, and it's extremely difficult to maintain stage presence while doing both.

It's easy to imagine how valuable it was when Brother said he could sing, dance, rap, and play basketball... There was a room in the house filled with various musical instruments, such as guitars, pianos, flutes, and violins of all sizes.

With so many instruments, yet still such a spacious area, it was a good place for practice.

The original owner would use these instruments when she had nothing to do, but the current Xia Yingxing had never entered this room. If she hadn't checked the D drive, she wouldn't even remember that there was such a room in the house.

After all, Xia Yingxing had no interest in playing musical instruments.

Of course, she wasn't completely clueless.

She still knew a little about the piano.

Opening the door, Xia Yingxing and Ling Yun both heard the sound of the piano, melodious and beautiful.

They couldn't help but marvel at how good the sound insulation was.

Without opening the door, they couldn't hear any piano sound at all.

If all those hotels had this kind of setup, how many young couples would find it a paradise? Many daring acts that couldn't be carried out due to fear of poor sound insulation could now be enjoyed to the fullest... Xia Yingxing and Ling Yun walked in.

They discovered that the person playing the song with abandon inside was Xia Xing!

Xia Xing seemed so engrossed in her music that she didn't even notice Xia Yingxing and Ling Yun had arrived behind her.

No wonder she felt she rarely saw Xia Xing; it turned out she was secretly hiding here playing instruments by herself!

Without disturbing her, Xia Yingxing and Ling Yun both quietly appreciated the music until Xia Xing finished playing the entire piece.

It was clear that Xia Xing was quite satisfied with her playing.

However, when she turned around and saw Xia Yingxing and Ling Yun, she was startled.

"When did you two come in?" Xia Xing asked.

"Just now," Xia Yingxing replied.

"You came in without saying anything, you scared me," Xia Xing complained slightly.

"Wasn't it because we were afraid of disturbing you? I didn't expect you, Sister, to have such refined taste. You usually seem so clumsy, but your piano playing is actually quite good," Xia Yingxing said with a smile.

"What are you talking about? Your sister is amazing!" Xia Xing pressed down on Xia Yingxing's head, pouting and making an angry face.

Ling Yun chuckled, covering her mouth. They were indeed sisters; this way of interacting was also humorous and witty.

"Alright, why are you here?" Xia Xing asked.

"To borrow this room," Xia Yingxing said.

"Hmm?" Xia Xing looked at Xia Yingxing in confusion.

Lately, Xia Xing hadn't seen Xia Yingxing come here at all; she even suspected Xia Yingxing had forgotten about this room.

Why did she suddenly need to use it now?

"I can't help it, isn't Mingzhu University's 50th-anniversary celebration coming up soon? Chen Xin insisted on putting my name down and wants me to perform, so there's nothing I can do. To avoid making a fool of myself, I can only come here to practice singing and dancing. The sound insulation is good, too," Xia Yingxing explained.

"You can also play instruments, can't you?" Xia Xing retorted.

"Uh..."

Xia Yingxing didn't know how to tell Xia Xing.

In fact, she might not even recognize all the instruments in this room now, let alone know how to play them.

After only a moment of hesitation, Xia Yingxing had already found a reason for herself.

"Isn't this to get rid of my title of Sickly Princess during this school anniversary? You know, I used to be in poor health, and people at school called me the Sickly Princess. Now that I've recovered, shouldn't I clear that name?" Xia Yingxing said.

Xia Xing knew about Xia Yingxing being called the Sickly Princess at school.

Moreover, upon learning of this, Xia Xing was furious.

She almost had someone deal with Yang Xi.

It was the original owner who stopped Xia Xing.

The original owner stated that being called the Sickly Princess was indeed her own fault; if she hadn't been in such poor health, how would she have gotten such a title?

But Xia Xing knew that Yang Xi was simply targeting her sister!

Even if a normal person was in poor health, very few people would target her so specifically, even giving her a nickname that spread throughout the school and even started circulating in Mingzhu City's wealthy circles.

However, the original owner insisted on resolving it herself, and Xia Xing didn't have many good solutions.

Now that she had recovered, it was time to get rid of that unwarranted title.

"Alright then, I'll leave this place to you," Xia Xing said.

After Xia Xing left, only Ling Yun and Xia Yingxing remained in the room.

Xia Yingxing had no idea what song to perform.

Seeing Xia Yingxing indecisive, Ling Yun simply gave her a song that she had written lyrics, composed music, and choreographed herself, which surprised Xia Yingxing.

"You can write songs?" Xia Yingxing asked in surprise.

"Yes, I wrote some when I had nothing to do before," Ling Yun said.

How talented, Miss Ling Yun!

One must know that often, a song requires many people to work together to create.

Someone is responsible for lyrics, someone for music, someone for arrangement, and other things. If choreography is added, the difficulty is not ordinary.

Ling Yun was clearly not specializing in music.

Yet she could still write lyrics, compose music, and even choreograph herself?

Goodness, she had brought back a beautiful woman of extraordinary talent!

Not only was she beautiful, but she was also so talented!

The more outstanding Ling Yun was, the more foolish Li Tianxing's act of forcefully breaking off their engagement in front of so many people appeared.

However, it was also fortunate; if Li Tianxing hadn't been so foolish, Xia Yingxing wouldn't have been able to bring Ling Yun back like this.

"How about it, want to try learning it?" Ling Yun asked.

Learning an original song is much harder than learning an existing one. Existing songs at least have a reference; listening to them, one can hum a few lines.

As for original songs, there's nothing to reference, as Ling Yun hasn't released the song online.

This is like a teacher asking you to memorize a text.

If it's a text already in a textbook, at least you can rote memorize it.

But if it's an article created by the teacher herself, even if the literary skill is very good, trying to remember it after the teacher only reads it aloud a few times is truly quite difficult.
