Lu Chenye, a new financial upstart in Shanghai, was dismantling the equity structure of a cross-border merger and acquisition when he received the notification of his family's marriage. He took off his gold-rimmed glasses and rubbed his eyebrows. The blue light of the LCD screen reflected the words "Wen's eldest daughter" in the agreement. Thirty kilometers away, the sound of the violin in the rehearsal hall of the National Symphony Orchestra suddenly stopped. Wen Shuxing looked at the message from his father, and the bow of the violin made tiny white marks on the edge of the rosin box.
In front of the Civil Affairs Bureau, shaded by parasol trees, she was wearing a foggy blue shirt dress, and he had a silver-gray silk handkerchief folded in his suit pocket. When the stamp fell, he suddenly said: "There is a Steinway in the coffee shop on the third floor. I heard that Miss Wen is preparing for a recital recently?" Only then did she realize that he remembered that he mentioned his practice habits in the interview half a year ago.
At the family dinner at the old house, the second uncle insinuated the Wen family's financial problems. Lu Chenye shook his red wine glass and chuckled: "Shu Xing just received the guest appointment from the Geneva Conservatoire last month, but I should be worried about being said to be an artist." Under the tablecloth, his warm palm gently covered her trembling fingertips. On the way back late at night, she looked at the starry sky in the car and suddenly said: "Actually, I know that the piano you bought from the Vienna auction last month..."
At the Pujiang Fireworks Festival, she wrapped herself in his suit jacket and watched the drones form a violin light array across the sky. "There are still three months left on the contract." His voice was mixed in the river wind, "But I want to make an appointment with Miss Wen for the rest of her life." When she turned around, she found that the usually calm man had disassembled and assembled the cufflinks three times, and "Aria on the G String" was coming from the bell tower in the distance.
