Chapter 81 (1/2)

“Ziyun Piano store gets a new boss, and this new boss is Yun Che,” Zhao Yuan said gleefully on their way to the piano store.

“How did you find him?” Lin Wenxi asked curiously. He himself had never figured out how to find Yun Che as he knew only his name. The reason he studied the piano score was that he thought he might be able to meet him somewhere and remind him of Zhu Ziping by playing the song on the piano in the future.

Zhao Yuan was always a problem solver. Since knowing that Lin Wenxi often went to Ziyun Piano Store, he had been wondering, “Ziyun? This name sounds somewhat familiar. Is this just a coincidence?”

He had asked Wang Xiang to write a poetic line containing the names of Yun Che and Zhu Ziping and managed to persuade Ziyun Piano Store to solicit investment by publishing this line as an ad on many local websites.

As Lin Wenxi was a frequent visitor to the piano store, the store owner and clerks all knew this boy from Ji Fu University and agreed to help him. Among the intentional investors, Zhao Yuan quickly discovered a man named Yun Che. He did everything in his power to help the store to get the investment from Yun Che and then managed to meet and have a drink with this man. As at that time, he was busy doing part-time jobs. He decided to take Lin Wenxi and Yun Che to find Zhu Ziping when he had time.

Upon knowing how Zhao Yuan had found Yun Che, Lin Wenxi could not help but be impressed. “It’s not an easy thing to find Yun Che, although Zhao Yuan made light of what he has achieved. He had to find out whether Ziyun Piano Store is underfunded and then convince the owner of the store to publish the ad on the websites, which is designed to intrigue Yun Che. Well, he also has good luck.” Lin Wenxi thought when they were heading toward the piano store after skipping the lecture.

Yun Che was surprised upon hearing that some students had come to the piano store to find him, as he had just taken over this store. He was a well cultured man and admired Lin Wenxi’s artistic temperament very much. He felt that this boy was somewhat like himself. Both of them were good-looking and kind of detached from the earthly world.

Lin Wenxi looked at Yun Che. He wore a white suit, a white shirt and a pair of white shoes. He had thick eyebrows and bright eyes. His face was somewhat pale. Under the incandescent lamp, it seemed as if he was enveloped in a white mist. He stood close to them but at the same time seemed to be detached from them. Lin Wenxi did not say anything. He went directly to the piano in Yun Che’s room and played Colorful Clouds Chasing The Moon on it. He played it well, albeit not so well as Zhu Ziping did.

Yun Che did not think too much at first, as many people in this world liked this song and many people knew how to play it on a piano. He thought that this boy probably just came to seek his guidance, so he gave him some advice and planned to send them away.

“Zhu Ziping lives alone by the Yinshui River in Damu County,” Lin Wenxi said solemnly.

Yun Che’s face suddenly changed.

Lin Wenxi told him everything. He became pale after hearing that and murmured, “Take me to find her.”

As they were busy with studies in the university, Zhao Yuan planned to take Yun Che to find Zhu Ziping on a weekend. When Zhao Yuan was about to refuse Yun Che’s request, Lin Wenxi, who seemed not to care about anything recently, readily promised him.

Zhao Yuan hurriedly dissuaded Lin Wenxi. “Are you serious? Do you know how to go to Damu County? Are you sure that you still remember the route? Don’t forget that we still have lots of things to do at the university. Yun Che, please give us some time to prepare. Can you give me your number? We’ll call you later.”

Yun Che nodded and then sent them to the door of the store. When they walked out of the store, Lin Wenxi looked back and saw Yun Che dejectedly slump down into his chair near the door. He wanted to go back to comfort him, but Zhao Yuan dragged him away.

“That’s none of your business. No matter how much you want to help them, you have to take care of yourself first. Do you forget what happened the last time when you protected that old man from the street hooligans?” Zhao Yuan said grumpily. Even he himself did not understand why he felt angry at this moment.
