Mu Zhou smiled as he comforted her. “If I’ve known you for a long time, how can 1 not remember? Perhaps it’s just that my appearance is very similar to a certain character in a television drama, don’t think too much about it. Hurry up and remove your makeup. Your scalp will hurt if your wig is on your head for too long.”

Yuan Shu was still a little suspicious, but since Mu Zhou had already said so, she couldn’t continue asking. She could only give up and return to her dressing room.

When Mu Zhou saw Yuan Shu enter the dressing room, his gaze became melancholic and his hands clenched into fists.

After staring at the entrance of the dressing room for a long time, Mu Zhou turned around and returned to his own dressing room.

After removing her makeup and changing her clothes, Yuan Shu came out of the dressing room and prepared to wait for Shi Xiao to pick her up.

Coincidentally, Mu Zhou also came out at this time, so the two of them walked towards the door side by side.

Yuan Shu had completely forgotten about their familiarity just now.

When she saw Mu Zhou, she thought of the song “Phoenix Seeks the Phoenix” and even said with a smile, “Speaking of which, 1 don’t think I’ve had a chance to discuss it with you. That day, you played “Phoenix Seeks the Phoenix” in the cherry blossom forest. You played it very well. Many musicians pale in comparison to you. It sounded so melodious and fluctuating. Why are you so experienced at such a young age?”

Mu Zhou wasn’t surprised when he heard Yuan Shu’s question. He answered earnestly, “Perhaps it’s because I’ve learned the piano with many teachers, and every teacher plays differently. This song is a classic among classics, and every teacher has their own understanding of it, so their style is different as well. Therefore, when I play this song, I can’t help but combine the styles of these teachers. Actually, I’m not that good.”

Learning various styles of the tune was a good thing, but when these various styles were combined, it was easy to forget one’s initial emotions and lose the tune’s unique characteristics, so it wasn’t a good thing.

However, Mu Zhou was too humble. His style wasn’t mixed at all, but smooth and fluid. He played every tune very meticulously. He was very outstanding.

Yuan Shu wasn’t just being polite. Instead, she said seriously, “1 hope I can hear you play again when 1 have the chance.”

Mu Zhou stopped smiling and replied in the same serious tone, “I’m willing to fulfill your request at any time.”

Yuan Shu smiled and was about to speak when she heard someone call her.

“Yuan Shu.” The voice was cold and distant. It was Shi Xiao’s voice.

Yuan Shu looked up. It was indeed him.

The car was parked at the entrance. He had specifically walked in to look for Yuan Shu.

He didn’t expect to see his wife chatting so happily with another man. Of course, Shi Xiao had to interrupt them.

Mu Zhou’s gentle gaze met Shi Xiao’s cold gaze. The two of them were filled with hostility, and for a moment, there was a tense atmosphere in the air.

Yuan Shu could tell that something was wrong, so she took a few steps forward and blocked between the two of them.

Only then did the two of them look away sheepishly.

Mu Zhou smiled at Yuan Shu’s back figure as he called her by her name affectionately. “Shu, who is this? Why don’t you introduce him to me?”

Shu? Shi Xiao’s gaze turned hostile when he heard this address. It seemed that Yuan Shu wasn’t that lonely even though he had been away for two months.

Without waiting for Yuan Shu’s introduction, Shi Xiao strode over to Yuan Shu and held her hand with a smile as he said, “I’m Shi Xiao, Yuan Shu’s husband.”

Yuan Shu’s eyebrows furrowed slightly. From the corner of her eye, she saw the two of them holding hands. She wanted to pull her hand out, but in front of outsiders, Yuan Shu held back..
