Chapter 429: The Scene of My Dreams

Jiang Baobao was afraid that the more she said, the more she would err, so after arguing with the little one for a few sentences, she stopped talking and simply stood up.

"The performance is over, we can go out now."

As she spoke, she turned and walked toward the stairs.

Li Beijue hurriedly stood up with the three little ones, exchanging a look with them without a sound.

"Daddy, how are your preparations coming along?"

Mobai asked Li Beijue in a low voice.

Li Beijue paused slightly and nodded at the little ones without a sound.

"That's good! Mommy will definitely be very surprised tonight!"

Seeing this, Yanbao immediately high-fived Mobai, unable to hide his excitement.

The group quickly caught up to Jiang Baobao, who was walking in front, visited a few other exhibition halls, and then had lunch at the aquarium.

They played for the rest of the afternoon and left just as dusk fell.

Jiang Baobao had originally planned to take the three little ones straight home.

But unexpectedly, as soon as they got into the car, Mobai loudly suggested, "Mommy! Let's eat out tonight! Daddy says he knows a super delicious restaurant!"

"Yes, I have already had someone book a table," Li Beijue added at the right moment.

The two sang in harmony, while the other two little ones carefully observed Jiang Baobao's reaction.

Jiang Baobao had long guessed it would be like this, so she didn't say anything more and agreed, "That's fine, let's do as you say."

Twenty minutes later—

The car stopped in front of a huge glass Flower Room.

It was Jiang Baobao's first time here, and she couldn't help but take a few extra looks at the building in front of her.

She could vaguely see people eating inside, and there was even a band playing in the center.

"Wow! It's so beautiful here!"

Tiantian loved it the moment she saw it.

Jiang Baobao couldn't help but be amazed as well, and she led the three little ones inside.

After giving Li Beijue's name, a professional waiter led them to their seats and brought them the menu.

When Jiang Baobao opened it, she discovered that every dish here had its ingredients listed in detail, and almost every dish contained some kind of flower.

"No wonder it's decorated like this..."

Jiang Baobao muttered to herself, suddenly understanding the restaurant's theme.

After they ordered their food, the music began to play right on cue.

Jiang Baobao was subconsciously drawn to the performance area in the center, becoming momentarily entranced.

In the past... she had also studied the piano for a while...

It was just a pity that after her parents' accident, she no longer had the means to continue learning...

Jiang Baobao suddenly thought of the past, and her heart couldn't help but ache.

"Mommy, what are you looking at?"

Tiantian asked out of curiosity.

"Nothing, Mommy is listening to those uncles and aunties play."

Jiang Baobao answered with a smile.

Li Beijue's gaze flickered for a moment, and he looked toward the black piano in the very center.

Not long after, their food was served.

The environment here was elegant and the music was melodious, making the diners quiet down involuntarily, wanting to earnestly feel this tranquility.

Even the three little ones were much quieter than usual, just eating their food obediently.

Half an hour later—

They had all finished their dinner.

Jiang Baobao liked it here very much; she put down her fork and couldn't help but look around the environment again, wanting to bring Cai Xiaotang next time.

Just as she was about to suggest leaving, she heard a piano solo suddenly ring out.

The original musicians had disappeared, leaving only a pianist dressed in a tailcoat.

Jiang Baobao immediately abandoned the idea of leaving, wanting to finish listening to the piece.

She didn't notice the little ones beside her winking at Li Beijue.

"Daddy, I think I heard Great-Grandpa say before that you can play the piano too!"

Yanbao spoke first, deliberately throwing the topic out there.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Baobao's attention was indeed instantly captured, and she subconsciously turned to look at Li Beijue.

Li Beijue could play the piano?

Why had she never heard of this?

Jiang Baobao's expression couldn't help but carry a hint of suspicion.

Seeing her staring at him, Li Beijue immediately asked with a smile, "What, do you want to hear it?"

"No need."

Jiang Baobao refused without thinking and hurriedly looked away.

Unexpectedly, the next second, she saw from the corner of her eye that the person who had been sitting in his seat had suddenly stood up!

"Daddy, where are you going?"

Little Mobai asked a question he already knew the answer to, acting very serious.

Li Beijue deliberately kept them in suspense, smiled, and then turned and walked toward the piano with long strides.

The performance on the stage continued.

Li Beijue did not let anyone disturb him, but instead whispered a few words to a waiter on the other side.

Jiang Baobao stared in the direction of the piano, yet she felt inexplicably nervous and, for a moment, could not quite react.

How could Beijue just go up there like that?

Could it be that he was actually going to play the piano?

She had certainly never heard before that he possessed this skill...

What if he didn't play it well...

Jiang Baobao was vaguely worried, yet she could not suppress a small sense of anticipation deep within her heart.

Finally—

The pianist on stage finished the performance.

She saw the waiter go up and whisper two sentences to him, and he nodded, then stepped down from the seat.

Jiang Baobao subconsciously clenched her palms, and immediately saw Li Beijue walk up with composure and sit in the seat.

The diners around them had no reaction, assuming it was just a change of musician.

"Dang—"

Li Beijue casually tested the piano keys.

Jiang Baobao stared fixedly in his direction, her heart suddenly hanging in suspense.

The next second—

A melodious sound of music drifted over.

Having heard only the first few notes, Jiang Baobao instantly widened her eyes, a flash of disbelief crossing her gaze.

How could he play this piece?

Was it a coincidence?

Or...

Jiang Baobao blinked, listening to the tune she could not be more familiar with, and the softest part of her heart felt as if it had been struck hard by a heavy object, unable to stop a wave of soreness.

Mendelssohn's "Spring Song".

That was the piece her mother liked most in the past, and it was also the one she liked most later on.

The lighthearted melody of that piece was like a young girl full of romantic thoughts, lost in her own flowery fantasies.

She had always liked to listen to it while imagining meeting the boy she had a crush on in the school's piano room.

A piano, twilight, and the flowering trees outside the window.

It satisfied every fantasy a young girl could have.

It was just that these scenes had not appeared for many years.

Jiang Baobao's thoughts had drifted inexplicably far away, and when she came back to her senses, she saw flower petals drifting down before her eyes.

She subconsciously reached out to catch one, and a pinkish-white petal lay in her palm.

Only then did Jiang Baobao finally return to reality; she looked up abruptly and saw that, at some unknown time, a large shower of flower petals had begun to drift down above her seat.

It was exactly the same as the scene she had imagined countless times in her youth.
