"Play a tune for me."

Zhou Yihan's soft voice echoed in the room, he would make such a request, which was obviously beyond An Ran's imagination, but just in case, she still asked cautiously...

"That's it?"

"Hmm" Zhou Yihan nodded lightly and responded with a faint smile

An Ran was completely relieved, and a different color seemed to flash in her eyes, but she still walked slowly to the piano and sat down

"That's good, but just this time, you'd better rot in your stomach forever!"

After speaking, she gently placed her hand on the keys, and Zhou Yihan came to the sofa behind her and sat down

At the moment when An Ran lightly put her fingers on the piano keys, her temperament seemed to change, literary and gentle, but there was a faint sadness

"Ding~" Qingsong's jade finger finally pressed the piano key, but it was only this time, which made Zhou Yihan's heart beat inexplicably, but this is not even the beginning...

..

The melodious sound of the piano continued to sound from the room, and An Ran's slender fingertips continued to jump between the complicated keys, and the scales emitted were gripping

It was a beautiful, but sad sound

As if walking alone in the midnight moonlight, in the vast world and earth, there is no one else, the only thing that can accompany you is the bright moon in the sky, you want to tell it everything in your heart, but the distance between you is too far, it can only do with the flawless and pure moonlight, soothing your restless heart...

The bright moonlight hangs high, and the moonlight reflects into the house, reflecting into people's hearts, washing away all the troubles and sorrows in your heart

..

Zhou Yihan unconsciously closed his eyes, An Ran deserved to be a top student who came out of the Dino Royal Conservatory of Music, in her hands, every scale seems to be given life, pointing straight to the heart of the person, in this melodious music, he has really completely let go of all the baggage, that feeling, as if even the soul was absorbed by this beautiful music, washed away

If it can really only be described in four words, then there is only tranquility and far-reaching...

"Click~"

The crisp sound of closing the door sounded, and unconsciously, Xiao Hao and the fourth child had already returned, but after the two entered the door, they tacitly did not make a sound, but just looked at An Ran with appreciation, and the slight rhythm under their feet came to Zhou Yihan's side as little as possible

An Ran in front of the piano didn't seem to realize the return of the two, or now she, has completely fallen into the quiet music she played, falling into a state of absolute forgetfulness, just continuing to be leisurely, but also sad, playing her own music...

"Ding~"

The repertoire is close to the final chapter, but Zhou Yihan and the three of them have tacitly not said a word, even the most exquisite fourth among them is full of admiration for An Ran's performance, he has also seen countless pianists, therefore, he can also be responsible to say that An Ran's level has definitely reached the level of a first-class master

"Ding.."

“..”

Qu Bi

No flowers.. There was no applause either.. That's because all the people who are silent in this movement, including the performers themselves, have not yet come out of that deep loneliness...

An Ran sat in front of the piano, with a pair of slightly trembling fingers, gently closed the key cover, a pair of beautiful eyes closed slightly, vaguely, there seemed to be a faint touch of sentimental emotions on his body, as if he was recalling some things before...

"Okay.." I don't know how long it took, Zhou Yihan was the first to wake up from that rich sentimentality, and there seemed to be a touch of gratitude in his eyes when he looked at An Ran, and he sighed heartily

An Ran heard the voice, but did not answer, still maintaining the previous movements

Zhou Yihan slowly got up and came to her side, but deliberately kept some distance from her, didn't look at her current expression, and just put his hand on her weak shoulder comfortingly

"Thank you.."

After hearing his soft voice, An Ran slowly turned her head, her eyes were already slightly red and swollen, and she smiled bitterly at Zhou Yihan

At this time, she had also noticed the return of the fourth child and Xiao Hao, but she didn't say anything more, but just slowly got up and bowed to them

"Please forgive me for missing out on the company.."

After speaking, she nodded to Zhou Yihan again, and walked alone towards her room under the sentimental gaze of everyone.

Zhou Yihan's gaze also followed her, until her back had completely disappeared at the end of the stairs...

took a deep breath of the sad cold air in the living room, as if he wanted to suppress the uncalming emotions in his heart, turned his head nostalgically, and asked softly to the fourth child and Xiao Hao, "What is the result?"

"There were no accidents, and the defense of the signal station was even weaker than we thought, probably because of the special period now, and it was easy to get it. Xiao Hao shrugged at him casually, as if the plan was going so smoothly that he was still a little dissatisfied

On the side, the fourth child nodded his head at him, neither of them spoke, but at the moment it seemed quite tacit, it seemed that none of them took last night's conversation to heart, and when they woke up, they were still brothers and the closest family members

"Let's go and take a look, I look reluctant, and Xiao Hao and I will take care of the rest. The fourth child sat down on the sofa at this time, and finally made a cheering gesture to Zhou Yihan before concentrating on work

Xiao Hao also agreed, quickly ran back to the fourth child and sat down, and began to study the next plan of action, just asking them to work a little more here, wouldn't Zhou Yihan have a little more time?

His two brothers gave him the greatest encouragement with silent support, Zhou Yihan shook his head happily, turned around slowly, and walked away with An Ran's pace.

At this moment, his heart was a little dazed, thinking back to the appearance of An Ran he had just seen, that look preoccupied, and there were deep secrets worth digging at a glance, or for the first time before he wondered why, he first flashed a touch of unbearability and distress.

..

Midnight, on the streets

The night is so lonely, because of the crazy crimes of the shadow demons, the four cities and one domain of the dream market have lost their former glory, and the original golden "Golden Castle" is now only an empty skin, every night falls, whether it is downtown or suburbs, whether it is a street or alley, there are almost no people or cars moving around

Fate will always play a fuss about people who are immersed in a happy life

Thinking about last year, or even a few months ago, the night scene of Rumeng City is still hot, the downtown area is constantly noisy day and night, around the quiet square in the suburbs, couples who are in love hold hands, step through the green grass, look up while admiring the beautiful starry sky, while talking sweetly about the yearning for tomorrow's future..

This should be the impression that people leave on the night scene!

But the appearance of the Shadow Demon shattered this beauty!

The empty streets, the patrolling police cars, and the bright street lamps on the street corners, even the hidden moths are freer than the residents of the city!

"I come from the shadows, where shall I go to chaos?

In the dark bedroom, An Ran sat by the window, singing this song in a low voice to the night scene outside the window, outside the house, the evening breeze was blowing, with a sad cold current, constantly hitting her body, maybe it would be cold, but she didn't feel it...

Reaching into her pocket, she took out the picture that meant so much to her, and stared at it in front of her, as if she had endless words to talk to, but she didn't know how to speak...

Finally, as if she had made up her mind, she reached for the lighter beside her...

"Boom!"

After pressing it, the flame immediately jumped up, fluttering and dancing in the cold wind, and in it, as if you could see your own face...

She hesitated...

But in the end, I put the photo in my hand...

Watching the photo in her hand dissipate bit by bit under the erosion of the flame, as if she also took away the memory in her mind that she couldn't forget, until her fingertips had felt the heat of the flame, she threw the photo out of the window, turned into ashes, and drifted away with the cold wind.

"Isn't that something important to you?"

Unconsciously, Zhou Yihan walked to his side gently, looked at the wreckage scattered in the wind, and said in a voice that was probably the gentlest she had ever heard: "What the photo leaves is just a shadow, the real memory is still in your heart, maybe..." I'm not a qualified enlightener, but I can be a qualified listener, and as long as you are willing to speak, I can always be by your side until the picture in your heart is also extinguished, and it drifts away with the wind. ”

An Ran didn't speak, just shook his head bitterly and leaned lightly on his shoulder

Her body is so cold, but the cold fragrance is still obvious

Zhou Yihan reached out and gently hugged her shoulder, applying a little force, asking her to get as close to her body as possible and use her body temperature to drive away the cold for her

"Can we really defeat the Shadow Fiend?"

I don't know why, An Ran suddenly asked softly, her eyes closed slightly, the redness and swelling of her eye sockets were still obvious, and vaguely, it seemed that there were really some crystal tears running down her cheeks, dripping down, and finally soaking on the chest of the shirt Zhou Yihan was wearing

The teardrops on his chest were soaked by the cold wind, and he could clearly feel the cold temperature, but for some reason he clenched his teeth, and his arms became more and more forceful

This was the first time he had really seen An Ran cry...

The tangled and complicated emotion in his heart, it took him a long time to reluctantly suppress it, the corner of one side of his mouth was slightly raised, and the real and positive color gave an answer

"Of course, as long as we can unite and work together, what is the Shadow Demon Organization? I can assure you, we are not afraid of anything, as long as I live for a day, I will bring the Shadow Demon Organization to ?.. in my hands!

There is a lot of playfulness in the play, and Zhou Yihan's cynicism is a little improper

But after getting his answer, An Ran shrank into his arms with satisfaction, smiled beautifully, and wrapped his arms around his waist tightly

"Then we'll make up our minds, and you're not allowed to play tricks."
