Chapter 150: Chapter 148 What's Going On? Why Are the Knees Red?_1
"Brother Xu Ran, are you satisfied?" Shui Yue'er blinked her big eyes and giggled as she looked at Xu Ran. She turned over to lie on her back on the bed, bending her legs, her little hands gently rubbing her slightly red knees.
"Of course, my Yue'er is so capable, how could I not be satisfied?" Xu Ran laughed, very pleased with the homework Shui Yue'er had submitted.
"When I have some time, I'll teach you how to play the flute, the Dongxiao," Xu Ran said seriously, thinking that if someone could play the flute alongside his piano, the music would surely sound even more pleasant. Of course...
Although the guqin is wonderful, other instruments also have their advantages.
"Really, Brother Xu Ran, you can play the Dongxiao too?" Shui Yue'er asked curiously.
"I can't, but that's alright if you can. I play the piano. Your lesson this afternoon is related to that," Xu Ran smiled, gently ruffling Shui Yue'er's long hair.
"Then I want to learn too." Shui Yue'er immediately sat up from bed, her heart filled with anticipation upon hearing that Xu Ran could play the piano—who wouldn't want their beloved to be talented and capable of anything?
And she also wanted to see what Xu Ran looked like when he was playing the piano.
In Soul Land, the guqin was considered extremely elegant, but for them, as Soul Masters, it was rarely encountered. After all, playing the piano didn't help with cultivation.
"Granted."
"This is for you, along with the music scores. Study them well when you get back, and I'll teach you more when you've learned enough." Xu Ran watched Shui Yue'er hugging his arm in a spoiled manner and chuckled. He took out a long Dongxiao from his storage soul tool and handed it to her. Xu Ran himself often fiddled with these things besides practicing the piano.
He hadn't given much thought to these items originally, but after his Instrument Mastery was complete, he grew even fonder of these various trinkets.
Playing the piano and the sword were the only entertainment activities Xu Ran could find in this world, apart from flirting with girls. Moreover, playing tunes from his previous life made his heart increasingly peaceful. Remembering his original aspirations led to perseverance.
Although he had no attachments on those planets, he couldn't cut off his feelings of homesickness.
Someday, when he reached the pinnacle of the world, he would return to Earth for a visit.
By then, he might be revered as a divinity.
At that time, all the difficulties faced by his country and people, he could turn around with ease...
"Brother Xu Ran, what's wrong?" Shui Yue'er took the long Dongxiao from Xu Ran's hand and noticed a sudden hint of melancholy on his handsome face, causing a slight pain in her heart. Although she had become Xu Ran's woman, she knew nothing about his past. Could it be that even a peerless genius like him lived such a tiring life?
"It's nothing. Just some trivial matters," Xu Ran extended his hand to draw Shui Yue'er into his embrace, feeling the warm, fragrant softness beside him, no longer dwelling on it, dismissing it with a smile.
Drink to the end this morning, worry not 'til tomorrow comes.
Life is short and full of strife, one should seize the day to enjoy oneself, as for the future, he did not want to think too much about it.
"Stay with me a little longer," Xu Ran said, pulling up the blanket over them both. Xu Ran held Shui Yue'er tightly, his face close to her soft, flowing hair, gently inhaling her scent, feeling his heart gradually quiet down.
Shui Yue'er felt a bit constricted by Xu Ran's tight embrace, but as she sensed the change in his attitude towards her, she felt a sense of surprise in her heart. She curled up obediently in Xu Ran's arms, lying quietly, allowing him to hold her until it was almost time for class, then she hurriedly got up and left.
These days, Shui Miao had already given notice, there were not many opportunities for Xu Ran to instruct the girls of the Tian Shui Battle Team, and she naturally wouldn't waste this chance. So, before Xu Ran's departure, the girls of the Tian Shui Battle Team didn't need to attend class, they only had to follow Xu Ran's schedule for training.
In the afternoon, the seven girls assembled on time, and Shui Yue'er hurried back to the dormitory to wash up. She changed into a blue short skirt and joined the team.
"Yue'er, what did Teacher Xu Ran ask you to do?" Shui Bing'er looked at her sister with some suspicion, unable to suppress her concern. She had previously speculated that Shui Yue'er had done something improper to Xu Ran while he was unconscious, and now it seemed that her suspicions were confirmed; otherwise, Teacher Xu Ran wouldn't have suddenly called for Shui Yue'er alone.
Especially since she had noticed the redness on Shui Yue'er's knees, and although there were no injuries, it was clear that Shui Yue'er had definitely been punished, and quite likely had to kneel as punishment.
Of course, Shui Bing'er, who had always been the center of everyone's expectations, did not think in that direction, her mind being pure. In her thoughts, even for those matters, a girl only needed to lie back on the bed and close her eyes to sleep. How could she know there was so much complexity involved?
However, Xue Wu looked at Shui Yue'er with a smile that was not quite a smile. If Shui Bing'er didn't understand, it didn't mean she didn't either. She had been uncertain about the relationship between Shui Yue'er and Teacher Xu Ran, but now there was no need for further doubts.
The evidence was right there before her eyes, the red patch on Shui Yue'er's knees was quite convincing.
If it had been a normal punishment, with Teacher Xu Ran's personality, he definitely would not have had Shui Yue'er kneel down to punish her. The only explanation, then, was that...
"Sister, what are you looking at?" Shui Yue'er, flushed with embarrassment, followed Shui Bing'er's gaze and noticed the unusual redness on her knees. Her heart immediately started pounding wildly, feeling the thrill of a sneaky cat caught in the act.
"Nothing much. Do you know what Teacher Xu Ran is going to teach us this afternoon?" Shui Bing'er asked helplessly, looking at her sister. After training the previous morning, she had returned to the dormitory for a short nap. Although her body felt a bit sore, she was incredibly refreshed. This surprised her greatly and intensified her admiration for Xu Ran.
Clearly, Xu Ran had deconstructed those complex moves into the most primal ones, using more professional exercises to train the specific body parts they had to work on. This type of training greatly reduced unnecessary waste of time for them.
Moreover, she could feel that if they were to continue this type of training in the long term, their physical development would be greatly enhanced.
And their figures would also get progressively better. Just like the exercise focusing on the buttocks and legs that she did the previous day.
Although they couldn't see any noticeable change immediately, if they persisted, her buttocks and leg shape should also become more attractive, right?
Shui Bing'er looked down at her own legs wrapped in white tight pants and the curved outline of her firm and pert buttocks, wondering why she had been paying more attention to her figure lately. Although she had always cared about her appearance, it had never been to this extent.
