life in ancient gods

Chapter 62 White Moonlight

When the night was dark and the wind was high, the pedestrians on the street gradually thinned out. Under the guidance of a ray of moonlight, Su Pingan came to the Pingyue pawn shop in Dongshi unknowingly.

The front of Pingyue's pawn shop has been closed, and a willow tree on both sides of the street has fallen crookedly on the ground, as if being overwhelmed by someone, a gust of wind blows and rolls up a bright yellow leaf.

Su Pingan took a breath, and walked towards the iron gate in the backyard of the pawnshop by moonlight.

"Dong dong..."

He reached out and knocked twice on the somewhat rusty iron door.

"Who is it..." Jin'er's voice came from inside the door.

"Jin'er, it's me, Su Ping'an." Su Ping'an said.

The iron door was gently opened. Although Su Ping'an knew there was a back door in the backyard, it was the first time he came in through here today.

"Ah, Mr. Su...Your attire surprised Jin'er..." Jin'er opened the iron door, glanced at Su Ping'an who was wearing an iron helmet, and quickly stepped back. After seeing Su Pingan's face clearly through the moonlight, he calmed down a little.

"...Is it that scary?" Su Pingan closed the iron door casually and smiled lightly.

"Jin'er, is Mr. Su here?" Hearing the voice, Li Shishi walked out of the brightly lit backyard hall.

Wearing a light green maid costume, Su Jin'er tilted her head and said with a smile to Li Shishi who was coming from the main room, "Miss, it's Mr. Su, he looks so majestic in his clothes today."

Seeing that the lights in the kitchen had gone out, Su Pingan said, "Jin'er, have you guys had dinner yet?"

"No, tonight Miss said she wasn't hungry and didn't want to eat, so Jin'er didn't do it." Su Jin'er said.

Under the moonlight, Master Li's hair was casually held up by an exquisite red hairpin. She was wearing a moon-white silk double-breasted dress and a pair of moon-white boots.

She looked up and down at Su Ping'an who was wearing an iron helmet by the moonlight, pursed her lips and said softly, "Master Su, is your job going well today?"

"Fortunately, it's going well." Su Ping'an raised his hand and took off the iron helmet on his head. Feeling the coldness of the iron helmet, he walked towards the bright main room.

"It's considered smooth...?" Master Li followed, a trace of doubt appearing in his beautiful eyes, "Mr. Su, but what happened to me today?"

Su Jiner followed closely behind.

A red candle was lit on the table in the middle of the main room, and there was a fruit plate with a bunch of fresh grapes and a few pears in it.

Su Pingan stepped into the main room, and he was not polite. He sat on the chair by the table, put the iron helmet on the table, and said with a smile: "...Miss Shishi, you are really smart, you can see that .”

Li Shishi smiled slightly, noncommittal. Seeing Su Ping'an in military uniform, she must have just finished her job and hadn't had dinner yet.

Turning to Su Jin'er beside him, he said, "Jin'er, go to the kitchen and light a fire to cook."

"Miss, didn't you say you won't make dinner tonight?" Su Jin'er said with a slight curl of her lips.

Seeing that Su Jin'er was still playing with a little temper, Master Li pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Isn't Mr. Su coming tonight? Well, Jin'er, you should make dinner soon."

"Just go, Jin'er standing here is in your way anyway." Su Jin'er glanced at Su Ping'an, then went out of the main room, lit the candles in the kitchen, and prepared to start cooking dinner.

There was a faint wry smile at the corner of Su Ping'an's mouth. This Su Jin'er and Li Shishi were like sisters. Li Shishi didn't treat her like a human being, but he still had a little temper.

Glancing at Li Shishi, he asked with some concern: "Miss Shishi, are you feeling unwell tonight?"

Li Shishi sat by the table and shook his head slightly, "No, Mr. Su is worried. What happened to Mr. Su on his errand today?"

As he said that, he reached out to pick up a pear from the fruit plate on the table, and then picked up a small knife on the fruit plate, and while gently peeling the fruit, he listened to Su Ping'an's words.

"It's okay, let's not talk about this, Miss Shishi, is your piano score ready yet?" Su Pingan didn't want to mention the encounter with the female snitch in the morning, so she changed the subject and asked Li Shishi.

"...The pawn shop is too busy during this time, so how about playing the piano and composing music if you have time, if Mr. Su wants to listen to the music written by my concubine, I can compose it in my spare time after a few days." Although Li Shishi had a very busy life, But it was very fulfilling. When she was in Piaoxianglou, she felt that she had nothing to do, and her life was not as comfortable as it is now.

"Well, I'm not busy." Su Ping'an also asked casually, reached out and took a grape from the fruit plate and put it in his mouth.

Li Shishi was slowly peeling pears in his hands, and looked at the moonlight outside the house with his beautiful eyes, looked up at Su Ping'an, and said, "The moonlight is just right tonight, I wonder if Mr. Su can sing?"

"...Oh, I will, but it may not be very pleasant to my ears." Su Ping'an nodded, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

"When I was in Piaoxiang Tower, I sang and played music to others all day long. Tonight, I will present these peeled pears to Mr. Su. In return, Mr. Su, can you sing a cappella for me?" Master Li's eyes were as charming as silk. He handed the peeled pear to Su Pingan and asked softly.

Su Pingan took the peeled pear, noncommittal, but he still called it a wheat bully, and said with a faint smile: "...In that case, then I will show my shame, and I will present a song to Miss Teacher."

After saying that, he just sang a few lines of Bai Yueguang a cappella.

Li Shishi listened quietly with his chin in his hands.

"Young master Su, you sing really well. What is the name of this song? I have never heard such a strange and beautiful song before." Li Shishi asked.

"Miss Shishi is too famous, this song is called Bai Yueguang." Su Ping'an said.

Li Shishi smiled sweetly, and asked softly: "Master Su, I like this song very much, I want to sing it to you after I learn it, can I teach this song to me?"

Su Pingan smiled and said: "Naturally, I think that after Miss Shishi learns it, it will definitely be much better than what I sing, and I am looking forward to it."

Li Shishi pursed his lips and smiled: "Master Su, you are too modest, and I will definitely live up to Mr. Su's expectations."

Li Shishi was born ice-snow and smart, and had a very high attainment in music. When Su Pingan sang just now, she memorized the lyrics in her heart, and learned the general idea in just a short while.

She opened her mouth to sing a cappella, like the sounds of nature, which made people mesmerized.

Somewhere in Bai Yueguang's heart

so bright but so cold
everyone has a period of sadness

want to hide but want to cover up
The white moon shines on both ends of the horizon

……

In the silent night, the white moonlight shone in the main room, reflecting on the two of them.

The song is beautiful, Su Ping'an has never heard such a beautiful singing voice, she sang very pleasantly, Su Ping'an stared at Li Shishi with eyes full of admiration and appreciation.

Even Su Jin'er, who was cooking in the kitchen, couldn't help but walked out of the kitchen, stood in front of the door, and listened quietly.

After a song is sung, the beautiful and moving voice can linger for three days, and the lingering sound seems to be still echoing in the night sky.
