Chapter 26: Look at the face first, then the legs
"Takumi..."
"Um?"
"I'm tired of studying, let me look at your face."
"I won't show you. Just one look was enough!"
Jiang Qiaoqiao slammed her fist on the table twice, regretting showing her face earlier, because Lin Ran was making her show her face from time to time.
How could this be!
We are learning!
Are you here to learn, or to look at my face?
But... hehe.
Jiang Qiaoqiao smiled and swayed her upper body gently, feeling delighted.
I'm quite charming, aren't I? I've managed to make Lin Ran so infatuated. But I won't show it to her. It's his fault for always bullying the little cripple. Humph!
Lin Ran felt a little regretful.
I was truly amazed when I saw Jiang Qiaoqiao's real appearance. Unlike the 3D model provided by the system, she was a living, breathing girl who could cry, laugh, and be shy. She was even more beautiful than the 3D model.
He glanced at the time; it was eight o'clock in the evening.
"I'd like to discuss something else with you."
"What is it?"
"I want you to be the female lead in 'Coral Sea' and sing it together."
When it comes to female singers, Lin Ran thinks and thinks, and Jiang Qiaoqiao is the only suitable candidate.
He doesn't trust anyone else, but because of the system, his relationship with Jiang Qiaoqiao is much closer than with others—not in terms of emotional intimacy, but in terms of keeping secrets.
Lin Ran has an old flame who is a singer. When she went grocery shopping in the morning, she saw him on the internet TV in the electronics market, but he was too famous and they hadn't been in touch for a long time, so it wasn't a good idea.
"Me? But I've never sung a song."
"I haven't sung many times. The last time I sang 'Coral Sea' was the first time I sang in front of outsiders."
"Well...can we give it a try?"
Jiang Qiaoqiao has limited mobility, so she has learned a lot of useless knowledge in her spare time. She has also studied music theory and singing, and is a theoretical expert who has never practiced.
The first one will be handed over to Lin Ran.
"By the way," Jiang Qiaoqiao said, "I found that your song is very suitable for piano accompaniment. I have a piano room at home, I'll go over there."
"Should I hang up first, so your nanny doesn't find out?"
"No need, I have an electric wheelchair. If I don't contact Aunt Zhao, she won't come to take care of me."
Jiang Qiaoqiao pointed the camera at the wheelchair control panel.
"Can you race cars and play soccer?" Lin Ran always had a novel perspective on things.
"...Sometimes I want to pull you off the screen and have a serious talk with you."
Jiang Qiaoqiao sighed, rubbing her forehead.
Suddenly, a brilliant idea struck her. With a mischievous grin, she picked up her phone and subtly moved it towards her thigh.
Two slender, fair legs appeared on the screen, only five centimeters above the knees visible beneath a white nightgown, forming an alluring "absolute territory".
"Qiaozi, your legs are so white."
"Wow~ There's a pervert~ You shameless scoundrel~" Jiang Qiaoqiao put her phone back on and shouted in a high-pitched voice.
She wanted to turn the tables.
Lin Ran, let your guilt crush you!
The phone remained silent for a long time.
Jiang Qiaoqiao looked over in confusion, then her eyes widened instantly.
On the phone screen, there were two long legs with beautifully defined muscles.
"Qiaozi, let's look at each other."
"..."
People can actually laugh when they're speechless.
Jiang Qiaoqiao silently turned the phone volume down to the lowest setting.
When it comes to shamelessness alone, Lin Ran is truly unmatched.
However, her legs are quite white.
cough cough.
Jiang Qiaoqiao interrupted her random thoughts, got into her wheelchair, left the bedroom, and went to the piano room at the end of the corridor.
The image reappeared on the phone screen, showing Jiang Qiaoqiao's hands on the piano keys as she played a tune.
"Does it sound good?"
"It sounds nice... but you remind me of an anime character."
"Who?"
"A down-on-her-luck young lady who works in customer service. A character from a niche band anime, you probably haven't seen it."
There are no hen cards in this world, and Lin Ran doesn't want to waste his time.
After a little practice, the two started playing and singing.
Lin Ran was surprised to find that Jiang Qiaoqiao had a very pleasant voice and performed quite well after a little practice.
They practiced until 9:30, and Jiang Qiaoqiao's voice became a little hoarse. Lin Ran suggested taking a break and also discussing creating a video account and choosing a name.
"What name should we give him?" Jiang Qiaoqiao asked.
"Jiang Ran?"
"You want to marry into my family and become my adopted brother?"
"Lin Qiaoqiao?"
"That's weird, no way," Jiang Qiaoqiao complained. "Your naming skills are really bad."
"How about 'Sea Fish'? It's taken from the lyrics of 'Coral Sea', which say 'Seabirds and fish fall in love,' and it's also a homophone for 'I still want to love you.'"
"improvise."
Jiang Qiaoqiao read the name a few times, and it was easy to pronounce and remember.
"Okay, let's go with this name, and then the profile picture... Wait a minute, I have an idea."
After Lin Ran finished speaking, he opened his laptop, opened Photoshop, and began to work on the image.
While waiting, Jiang Qiaoqiao steered her wheelchair to the window and drew back the curtains.
The woods outside were pitch black. She used to hate looking out the window at night, as it made her feel lonely, like she was all alone in the world.
Today is followed by tomorrow, and tomorrow by the day after. You can see the end of each day, wandering around in the villa like a tortoise shell, until you die.
But one day things suddenly changed.
Jiang Qiaoqiao would look forward to tomorrow, fantasizing about what might happen tomorrow.
She can participate in Lin Ran's life and experience a university life she has never had before.
She never dared to imagine such a life before.
Thinking of this, Jiang Qiaoqiao bent down to touch her slightly movable ankle.
Moreover, I may be able to stand up again in the future.
ding dong~
Message ringtone.
Jiang Qiaoqiao picked up her phone and saw that Lin Ran had sent her a picture.
The background is the deep blue sea, and a diagonal line divides the scene into two parts: on the left, a hand is holding a guitar and singing, and on the right, a hand is gently caressing a piano.
"avatar."
"The two of us?"
"Yes, you taught me how to write music scores and learn music theory. You also contributed to the creation of this song, so this is both of our accounts," Lin Ran said with a smile.
Actually, he had some ulterior motives.
As long as Jiang Qiaoqiao is involved, if this account runs into any problems in the future, there will be someone to protect it.
However, what Jiang Qiaoqiao said was also true. Lin Ran's head was only filled with songs. If he studied step by step, he definitely wouldn't be as fast as if he listened to Jiang Qiaoqiao's lectures.
For both emotional and logical reasons, Lin Ran chose to make her profile picture a picture of the two of them singing and playing music.
Jiang Qiaoqiao's thoughts weren't so complicated; she only had one idea in her mind right now:
"This account is a part of me."
10 PM.
Today's video call ended early.
The two have a mission.
Lin Ran created the "Sea Fish" video account, and Jiang Qiaoqiao registered the music copyright for "Coral Sea".
Leave professional matters to professionals... Okay, Lin Ran is just lazy. Tomorrow is Monday. These two days are spent on dates, entertaining her parents, and learning music. She doesn't have much time to study.
Although I've become a medical animal that I wouldn't even be allowed to do, clinical medicine still has a future, so I need to study my major courses well.
the other side.
Jiang Qiaoqiao converted the handwritten sheet music into an electronic version and uploaded it to the copyright registration website for review.
She opened Douyin (TikTok), searched for "sea fish", and found a blank account with only a profile picture.
Looking at this account, Jiang Qiaoqiao felt a bittersweet feeling, like she had just eaten a piece of honey.
A true creation from nothing, a wealth belonging solely to her and Lin Ran.
Like a little secret that controls the body, it belongs only to the two of them, and no one else is allowed to interfere.
Leaning against the back of her wheelchair, Jiang Qiaoqiao looked up, where the full moon shone brightly in the night sky outside the window.
She felt that the night view tonight was more beautiful than ever before, the most beautiful night ever.
She subconsciously touched her feet, feeling her body gradually getting better.
Wait, something's not right...
More areas have recovered?!
Why didn't today foster a relationship between Lin Ran and Tao Zhiyao?
Did I guess wrong before? Is the recovery progress of my legs unrelated to the relationship between Lin Ran and Tao Zhiyao?
