The King's Enchanting-Chapter 1601 - 1614: Child (3)

Afterwards, every time John Gruber came over, he specifically had Jian Anning by his side to train her listening and music analysis skills. To his surprise, although she hadn’t touched the piano for ten years and her piano skills had deteriorated significantly, her sensitivity and judgment towards music had not faded at all. In fact, due to her life-and-death experiences, she had gained a deeper understanding of music.

She and Yu Zexiao, although they wouldn’t play piano together anymore, could still collaborate. He wrote the lyrics while she provided opinions and suggestions—this kind of pairing was even smoother than when he and Nie Anni played the piano and composed together. With them, there might still be arguments due to different interpretations of music. But working with Jian Anning, their understanding of each other only deepened.

Initially, Jian Anning was a bit timid, afraid she couldn’t handle it, but after some time, she even dared to challenge John Gruber’s opinions. And it turned out that, after using her ideas, the songs indeed became more harmonious and fluent, even making John Gruber admit defeat.

Soon, the final joint piece by Yu Zexiao and John Gruber was successfully finalized. With Jian Anning’s assistance, they actually finished a few days sooner than initially scheduled, much to the delight of the director and the crew. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

However, the most commendable aspect was—every day, Yu Zexiao and Jian Anning would visit Situ Xuan.

After a period of recuperation, Situ Xuan’s health gradually improved—it was something Yu Zexiao only found out afterwards. No wonder Situ Xuan had no hesitation in rushing forward; it turned out this bastard was wearing a bulletproof vest!

Okay, even though he knew that, in that instant, Situ Xuan definitely wouldn’t have thought about the bulletproof vest, and it could only protect his torso, not his limbs or head.

If a bullet happened to hit his head, wouldn’t he still die? Or if the bullet hit his arm or legs, wouldn’t he still end up disabled?

In other words, at least when Situ Xuan rushed forward to save Jian Anning’s life, he hadn’t considered his own survival. But thinking about this guy wearing a bulletproof vest... Yu Zexiao just felt so cheated.

He even had an impulse to have Jian Anning immediately cancel that so-called "five-year agreement." Situ Xuan relied on two things—first, accompanying her for a night, second, blocking a bullet for her. For the first point, if he hadn’t taken Jian Anning away first, FRANZ wouldn’t have succeeded so easily. Ultimately, it was his fault. The second point, he was wearing a bulletproof vest.

All in all, he was just reaping what he sowed, foolishly playing the hero, leaving Jian Anning worried over him for so long—for Yu Zexiao later realized he was at a loss.

Feeling unfairly treated, after learning that Situ Xuan had worn a bulletproof vest, Yu Zexiao, as usual, went with Jian Anning to visit him at the hospital the next day. But before that, shamelessly, he called his assistant and had him buy something.

Before entering Situ Xuan’s hospital room, Yu Zexiao feigned a stomach ache, took a quick detour to the restroom, hurriedly removed the packaging of the item, and placed one in the gift he bought for Situ Xuan—a "little umbrella."
