Chapter 215 - 215 She is the Old Friend!

215 She is the Old Friend!

Wen Yuyi suddenly spoke, “She should be Teacher Anonymous, right? Back then I saw her on TV when [Masked Singers] was aired.”

Yun Yiheng only paid attention to matters of the music industry. Hence, his expression immediately changed when he heard the words ‘Teacher Anonymous’.

As for Yun Lu, she only cared about things in the entertainment industry and didn’t watch singing shows. So, she had only heard of Anonymous but had never seen her before.

After Shen Ruojing revealed her face on the tv show, she immediately got Lu Hui to find people to suppress her popularity. Other than those who watched the tv show live, it was very difficult for people to find her photo online.

So, Yun Lu and Yun Yiheng didn’t know her identity.

Now that they knew it, Yun Lu twitched her lips. “Isn’t she simply a composer?”

Wen Yuyi smiled. “Lulu, don’t say it like this. Anonymous isn’t a mere composer, she can be considered a musician. Her skills in the piano and violin are superb.”

Shen Ruojing didn’t understand why Wen Yuyi wanted to praise her.

This was because she couldn’t sense any goodwill from Wen Yuyi.

At this moment, Yun Yiheng suddenly sneered coldly. “What’s the point of being skilled in western musical instruments? Our country has 5,000 years of glorious history. Zithers are then the coolest!”

In their academy, ancient zithers belonged to the category of folk music and opera.

Students learning the piano and orchestra looked down on the folk music department the most. They felt that folk music was too low-class. However, Yun Yiheng was mesmerized by the zithers, and he decided to major in it at university.

Initially, it was fine for people to like their own music. However, those from the orchestra looked down on him, and this stirred his rebellious psychology that caused him to look at these people who were into western musical instruments with contempt.

So what even if Anonymous was impressive?

In his eyes, Qing Dai who left the industry five years ago was the most impressive one!

Back then, Anonymous had released a piano piece and caused everyone to be in a commotion, saying that piano music was supreme, and folk music couldn’t make it. Hence, a person named Qing Dai decided to step out.

She used the zither and played a song named [Tall Mountains, Flowing Water], convincing everyone otherwise.

At that time, there were even titles such as ‘Western Anonymous, Eastern Qing Dai’. This meant that these two were unrivaled in the west and in the east respectively.

It was a pity that Qing Dai merely posted a few videos and didn’t reveal her face. No one knew what she looked like. After she finished posting those videos, it seemed that she had forgotten her account password and had never logged in on Weibo ever again.

However, everyone faintly guessed that Qing Dai was on bad terms with Anonymous. Back then, Anonymous’ fame was at its peak and Qing Dai was suppressed. Hence, Qing Dai decisively decided to disappear.

Yun Yiheng was a brainless fan of Qing Dai, and this was why he disliked Anonymous. Hence, his attitude toward Shen Ruojing became bad again. “It seems that our understanding of music is different. Since that’s the case, please leave my music room! Thanks.”

“Yun Yiheng, you are being rude again,” Yun Wei rebuked him. She then spoke to Shen Ruojing, “Let’s head out first.”

Shen Ruojing cast a glance at Wen Yuyi, who immediately lowered her eyelids and acted magnanimous and gentle.

Shen Ruojing then retracted her gaze and followed Yun Wei out.

Glancing at the two children, Yun Wei seemed to suddenly realize something. She asked, “Where’s the little girl? Weren’t there three children back on set?”

Shen Ruojing lowered her eyelids slightly and calmly replied, “She went to find her daddy.”

–

Chu Cichen finished showering.

He was unwilling to head out despite having exited the bathroom for quite some time. He was afraid of Chu Xiaomeng’s questions.

He didn’t know how to explain to the child that her daddy and mommy couldn’t be together…

At this moment, his handphone suddenly rang.

Chu Cichen picked up and he heard Dugu Xiao’s voice that was tinged with madness. “I know, I know!”

“Proficient in the medical arts, skilled in making medicine, concocting the heat dispersal pills when the transmissible disease spreads…Shen Ruojing is none other than the creator of the No.5 Neurotoxin!”

“527, if you don’t want to kill this woman to avenge 518, I will do it! But I hope that at the very least, you won’t obstruct me and try to protect her. Can you do it?”

Chu Cichen’s phoenix eyes stared into the distance as a chill suddenly covered his body.

He tensed up and for a moment, he couldn’t speak.

518 had always wanted to kill the creator of the poison. Now that she was dead, it was one thing if Chu Cichen didn’t help her. But should he obstruct Dugu Xiao?

Just when he was in deep thought, Dugu Xiao’s voice rang out again. “527, if I want to kill someone, in the whole of China, you are the only one with enough power to stop me. Just treat this as the last thing you are doing for 518. Can you do it?”

“...” Chu Cichen fell silent for a long moment before finally replying. “Fine.”

After hanging up, he felt that his body was devoid of strength. At this moment, he didn’t know how to face his daughter even more…

Right after that, someone knocked on his door. Chu Xiaomeng’s voice rang out from outside. “Daddy, my food delivery is here. Do you want to eat some?”

Chu Cichen’s mind stirred.

He was really muddle-headed. His daughter hadn’t eaten yet, but he was actually hiding in the room.

He inhaled deeply and controlled his tone as he asked, “What did you order?”

As he spoke, he wore his clothes.

Chu Xiaomeng’s soft voice rang out from outside the door. “Mala soup! My mommy loves mala soup the most. This is especially for the mala soup at the husband and wife store near the No. 1 Experimental Middle School of Sea City. In the past, she often ordered it for my brother and me!

“I’ll tell daddy something… Mommy had once said that they must have added poppy seeds into the mala soup which made her hooked on it. Later on, she secretly went to check the ingredients and found out that they didn’t do so~

“Mommy will be eating dinner in the Yun Manor tonight, so she definitely won’t be able to eat this mala soup. In that case, I’ll help mommy try out the mala soup of Ford City!”

Chu Xiaomeng had never said so many sentences in one go before.

But in order to make her daddy happy, she went all out!

In the room…

Chu Cichen, who was wearing his clothes, suddenly paused.

Husband and wife store…mala soup…added poppies…

These words caused him to recall what Dugu Xiao had said…

Dugu Xiao had wanted to help an old friend eat something. At that time, Chu Cichen suspected that the old friend wasn’t 518 as he felt that Dugu Xiao wasn’t someone so nostalgic. Hence, he discarded that idea. But at this moment, he recalled Dugu Xiao’s phone call…

Dugu Xiao had feelings toward 518.

He wasn’t as ruthless as everyone believed.

If not, he wouldn’t be bothered to complete 518’s final wish.

In fact, even that explosion back then was riddled with flaws. No one would die even if they were caught in it.

If that old friend was really 518…

Chu Cichen immediately turned and walked to the entrance. The moment he opened the door, he was completely stunned.

He saw that Chu Xiaomeng’s little face had a golden mask on!

This golden mask was shaped like a phoenix and looked very unique.

With just a glance, anyone would be able to remember it for the rest of their lives.

In addition, the right side of this mask had brushed against something once when 518 carried out a mission, hence, the color on the right had been scraped off. 518 didn’t have time to repaint it after that.

Chu Cichen’s eyes suddenly heated up.

The mask was too big and kept falling off Chu Xiaomeng’s face. Chu Xiaomeng had to prop the mask up with one hand. She then cocked her head and spoke in her immature voice, “Daddy, do you see it? That person in the painting inside your study is none other than mommy!”

“Daddy, don’t be angry with mommy anymore, okay?”
