After the college entrance examination, Ye Lianqing received bad news in his life - his family went bankrupt.
The young master, who was raised in fine clothes and fine food, fell from a high platform into a mire overnight.
In order to make ends meet, Ye Lianqing had to go to a manor and work as a piano teacher.
Everything about this job is good, the salary is generous, the environment is nice, and the students are well-behaved and sensible.
The only thing that frightened him was the student's uncle, Huo Xinglan.
The man occupies a high position, is unsmiling, and has a suffocating aura around him.
Every time she met him, Ye Lianqing subconsciously straightened her back and even breathed lightly.
Fortunately, men don't come back often. The number of times the two have met can be counted on one hand.
Until the heavy rain that night, Ye Lianqing stayed in the guest room of the manor.
He passed by Huo Xinglan's study and accidentally broke the antique vase at the door.
He picked up the vase fragments in a panic and cut his hand, but the study door opened.
He looked up hastily, like a deer encountering a predator, and the man looked at him condescendingly with stern eyebrows.

The next day, Ye Lianqing was still the piano teacher of the young master of the Huo family.
The compensation for the sky-high antique vase disappeared that night.
Ye Lianqing carefully taught the young master to play the piano, but occasionally, he would be called out. When he came back, his lips were extremely red and his eyes looked like he had cried.
Or, Huo Xinglan, the leader of the Huo family, would come in and take care of the young master's homework, and his cold eyes would glance at the piano teacher.
One day, Ye Lianqing and Huo Xinglan came out of the piano room at the same time and met the young master head-on.
"Teacher Ye! It turns out you are with your uncle!" The child Tong Yanwuji said: "Why is uncle's tie crooked? Teacher Ye, your shirt buttons are all wrong!"
Ye Lianqing's face turned red and she ran away.

Until Young Master Huo's birthday party, the hall was full of guests.
Several dandy boys who couldn't stand Ye Lianqing heard that he was a piano teacher in the Huo family, so they deliberately went to the piano room.
They opened the crack in the door, and their eyes instantly shook.
The young man sat on the piano bench, his skin was as good as snow, and his ankles were slender, while the man who held a high position and was always cold knelt down on one knee and kissed the young man's instep.
"Baby, it was my fault, please stop being angry," Huo Xinglan coaxed in a low voice.
Ye Lianqing turned her face away and pursed her lips, not wanting to look at him.
There was an almost humble paranoia in Huo Xinglan's voice, "I shouldn't be so impatient. Baby, I just want to know, when can you give me a title?"
No one knows the night the vase was broken.
Ye Lianqing was picked up by Huo Xinglan and placed on the desk.
The man brought gauze, bandages and alcohol, looked at the palm wrapped into a ball, and chuckled: "You can't play the piano like this."
Ye Lianqing was afraid of losing her job, "Then, what should I do..."
The man approached his red earlobe and said hoarsely: "You don't have to play the piano, you can stay."
——If you stay, you can never leave again.
Intention: Make progress every day
