The Day He Matured

The car left the park and ran to the music education center. As far as I know, this place is also the property of Hana Corporation.

I heard that Brian’s grandfather loves to play musical instruments and that he can play many types of instruments from piano, and violin to saxophone.

Although he built a solid career in the US, before that, he lived here for twenty years. That is also the reason he chose his hometown as the first place to expand his business, before the branches in Singapore or Thailand.

“Hello, Mr. Brian.” The security guard bowed when Brian had just lowered the windshield.

The large gate was quickly opened, and Brian slowly drove inside.

Because there were no students or teachers here at this time, he didn’t run to the parking lot but stopped right in front of the steps leading upstairs.

Brian held my hand and walked up the steps.

Just now, only the lampposts in the large courtyard were lit, but now the path was also illuminated with electric light.

Previously, I only had time to glance at this place when I was on the bus to the shopping center, I never thought he would lead me here at night like this.

We stopped in front of a large room. Brian pushed the door, reached out, and pressed the electric switch.

The soft yellow light and the dark red of the curtains hanging around create an extremely artistic scene.

“Let’s go.” He continued walking, leading me past the benches and to the stage.

The moment he took off the red cloth, I raised my hand to cover my mouth because I couldn’t imagine such a beautiful piano in this place. It has three legs, and the entire outer layer of wood is covered with a yellow-brown patterned veneer, which is extremely prominent.

“Oh, it must be very expensive, isn’t it?” I reached out my trembling hand to touch it.

“Uh, but it’s not as expensive as mine.”

What is Brian saying? I’m asking the value of this eye-catching piano, I’m not comparing it to him. This guy has more confidence than anyone else.

That’s right, he’s one of the two brightest heirs of the rich Hana corporation.

“What song are we going to do a duet, lady?”

Brian calmly sat down on the bench and pulled my hand. This will probably be the best and most memorable moment of my first date night.

After thinking for a few seconds, I asked him to play the song Song from a secret garden with me.

This is also my favorite music, these tunes have soothed my wounded and lost soul during my time at the orphanage.

I still remember that autumn afternoon, when I was passing the room at the end of the corridor, the piano sound coming from there through the blind monk’s hands held me back.

After that, I decided to learn to play the piano so that I could listen to these soul-healing melodies.

“I also like this song very much. Melodies that push sadness to the climax and slowly heal all.” Brian put his hand on the keyboard and said in a low voice.

Sitting next to him, watching him at this angle, under the pale yellow light and a bit of a ghostly space, I found him extremely handsome.

Our hands rhythmically pressed the piano keys and a deep smooth melody sounded.

In front of my eyes is an orphanage with long corridors, walls covered with moss, damp in the late afternoon sunlight.

In front of me is a house containing many memories of the day when I had a complete family.

Many, many scenes in the memory roll through like a movie, there are slow parts and fast parts and when the music ends, all disappear, leaving only the handsome face and the smile of the man I love.

“So great. Bella, I will remember this day until we grow old together and lose our memory.”

“Oh, my gosh.”

Brian’s words made me burst out laughing. He’s the one who breaks the romantic atmosphere.

I think he just needs to say he’ll remember this moment until we’re old, he doesn’t need to say remember until he loses his memory.

While I was immersed in those words of love, he made me open my mouth to laugh.

“You are worrying too much.” I patted his shoulder, and frowned, pretending to be annoyed.

“I want to emphasize my thoughts. But that sentence made you laugh, which is good too.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he leaned over and placed a kiss on my lips. His strong arms gradually tightened around my body, pressing me closer to his lap

The gentle, sweet, and loving kiss made me ecstatic, and I involuntarily hugged the man’s broad back.

I don’t know since when I loved him, obviously, I used to hate him very much.

Perhaps the small and great things that he did for me all came from the sincerity that touched the heart that hated him so much.

Maybe I’ve liked him for a long time, so I get annoyed when he’s not serious and keeps joking around with me.

“Bella, you can come to my room to sleep tonight, or I can go to your room.” Brian gently suggested when the kiss just ended.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

“Sleep… sleep together?” I widened my eyes and looked at him.

“Right. I’ll just hug you and sleep. I promise not to do anything excessive if you do not voluntarily agree.”

I recognized the sincerity in his eyes. Okay, if two people love each other then they have to trust each other.

Besides, he didn’t have any yeast in his body today and I was very alert. Moreover, lying in his arms, my sleep also became deeper and more refreshing.

“Okay, I’ll go to your room.” I nodded and spoke softly.

Leaving behind the bustling streets, with shimmering colors, the two of us returned home, curled up in a warm and fragrant blanket.

I have to admit that Brian’s scent is very fragrant, and does not have an unpleasant smell like other men, even when he comes back from the gym, his sweat still does not make the person next to him wince and frown.

Is he related to the mint plant?

“Bella, I’m very sorry about that night, if only I had more control over myself…”

“Forget about that. I don’t blame you. I am also at fault. You promised not to mention it again.” I interrupted him.

“Uh. Let’s sleep.”

He kissed my hair lightly, his arms tightening even more. I kept my old lying position, with my back to him. It wasn’t until I heard the steady sound of breathing behind me that I gradually fell asleep.

After a few hours, dawn came. Out of habit, I woke up, gingerly put Brian’s hand to the side, and gently left the room.

On the first day of the week, the bank usually has a briefing, so he will go earlier.

When the dishes were placed on the table, Brian also came down. He moved closer to me, kissed me lightly on the lips, and then casually pulled out a chair and sat while I froze.

So sweet. However, I know we can only cuddle for today, when his mother comes back, we both need to keep our distance, otherwise, everything will be a mess.

“What’s up? Is there something on my face?” Brian stopped the chopsticks and looked up at me.

“Oh, no, because you’re so handsome. I would love to see you wearing a white shirt.” I answered quickly without realizing that I was shameless.

“Then from now on, I will only wear a white shirt.”

I didn’t expect Brian would say that. Honestly, even if he’s wearing a sack, he’s still handsome, because I’d rather see him in a white shirt.

He has a lot of colored shirts, if he only wears a white shirt, the other shirts will be discarded? What a waste.

“No, I mean you’re handsome, so no matter what clothes you wear, you’re still handsome. Because white is my favorite color, that’s why I said that. You just wear blue, purple, and pink shirts as usual.” I waved my hand and hurriedly explained.

“Uh.” He nodded and answered concisely because he still had food in his mouth and had not yet swallowed it.

However, Brian did not follow his word. In the afternoon, he returned with a pile of big bags, and small bags, and the following days, he always appeared with a pristine white shirt from famous brands.

When Mrs. Alina asked questions, he said that now he likes the color white, when he wears a white shirt, it suits feng shui, and the work goes smoothly.

“The day after tomorrow is Hellen’s birthday. Can you arrange the time?” Mrs. Alina asked as soon as she sat down at the dining table.

“I cannot go. I still have a lot of work to do. I’ll just send a gift.”

“Attend for an hour and then come back. She doesn’t invite many people.” She implored.

“But I will be invited to drink by everyone. I can’t concentrate on work when there’s yeast in my body.”

Mrs. Alina sighed, bent down, continued eating, and did not say anything more. I surreptitiously looked at Brian’s expressionless face.

That party was attended by a large number of people, so even if he went there, I cannot say that he did not keep his promise to me. I’m only scared when he’s alone with Hellen.

The quiet atmosphere that enveloped the whole meal made it difficult for me to breathe. It wasn’t until Mrs. Alina left the chair that I breathed a sigh of relief, quickly stood up, and ran to open the gate to wait for her.

As for Brian, he still eats like a tortoise, slow, slow, slow. I know that he purposely lingered to kiss me before going to work. He used to say that just kissing me was enough for him to have enough energy for a day at work.

When I returned, my beloved was leaning against the wall and pouting. I walked over slowly, grabbed his shoulders, tiptoed, and kissed his lips.

And as always, the moment I was about to leave, his arms held me tight, he didn’t bend down, but lifted me up, and kissed me deeply, it took a long time for him to let go of me.

“You can come to her birthday party. I’m just asking you two not to see each other alone.” I rest my head on his shoulder and gasp as I speak.

“Dislike. I want to spend that time with you.” He replied bluntly.
