Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heiress (Part II)

Chapter 294: Reborn from the Storm, the Phoenix Soars the Celestial Skies

She had to say that Xia Ruya had indeed given her a tough one. For the past two days, she had been racking her brains for the performance item. Tomorrow would be the school's anniversary celebrations and Xia Ruya and Chu Jingnan had already asked her multiple times about the content of her performance item, but she had brushed them off.

Wen Xinya massaged her exhausted head and decided to relook at the performance list. Previously, she had only browsed through the items briefly but had yet to look at the detailed contents of the performance items.

After looking around in her room, she actually did not see the performance list. Only then did she recall that after she came back the day before, she had no idea where she left it.

Wen Xinya had no choice but to search high and low. She opened the agarwood cupboard beside the dresser and, when she saw the things placed in the cupboard, her heartstrings vibrated as if a pair of invisible hands were playing the world's most beautiful piece of music in her heart.

It was a rosewood phoenix box, a gift from Si Yiyan when they spent the Valentine's Day on the trip to Nantong previously!

Zither represented feelings!

It was a zither handmade by Si Yiyan.

As she was avoiding Si Yiyan at that time, after coming back, she had hidden this seven-stringed zither in the deepest part of the cupboard.

She stretched and took out the seven-stringed zither. Running her fingers gently across the rosewood phoenix box, she muttered, "I actually forgot to ask him the previous time—what's the name of this zither!"

Wen Xinya placed the box on the table, gently opened the seven-stringed zither inside, and only then had the chance to closely examine this ancient zither. The body of the ancient zither was a deep red, almost black color, with a flying phoenix engraved on it. It had a vintage and classy rusticity, quietly radiating a low-key gorgeousness—it was indeed such a beauty.

She couldn't help but whip out her phone and give Si Yiyan a call.

The call was picked up very quickly. Only then did it dawn on Wen Xinya suddenly that every time, regardless of whether she called or sent Si Yiyan messages, he always answered or replied instantly, as if that phone never left his side nor ran out of battery—he seemed to be always waiting for her calls and messages.

"Xinya!" Si Yiyan called out her name in a low voice with a tinge of lingering softness.

"Oh! The zither that you gave me previously—does it have a name?" Wen Xinya's voice was a little nervous. Inexplicably, she held her breath as her heart started thumping rapidly.

"Nope. I've been waiting for you to name it—you're its real owner." Si Yiyan's voice became even deeper with a touch of joy and happiness.

"Then... how about Soaring Phoenix?" Wen Xinya asked with a slightly nervous voice. Something seemed to be swelling up quickly in her rapidly pounding chest as if it was about to break free.

The other end of the line suddenly went silent.

"Meaning reborn from the storm, the phoenix soars the celestial skies! What do you think?" Wen Xinya held onto the phone and pressed it against her ear tightly, not wanting to miss the slightest sound transmitted through the phone, even if it were just breathing sounds.

"Great!" Si Yiyan's low voice seemed to be filled in with vibrant colors, with clarity and attractiveness in coexistence, like the most beautiful zither melody in the world. "I've been waiting for you, waiting for you to truly accept that zither."
