Chapter 130: The Piano of Steel
Don't grieve yourself.
Isn't this what I used to comfort myself when I fled the capital?
However, can you really not let yourself be wronged if you don't want to be wronged?
It is precisely because she doesn't want to wronged herself and doesn't want to marry a man she doesn't love, so Qin Yueran "escaped" from the capital to Ninghai thousands of miles away, but there will always be so many unsatisfactory in life, she is not completely free, can she really completely leave behind the family that gave birth to her and raised her?
The longer I stay in such a so-called upper circle, the more I understand the unspoken rules in it, and the less I can raise any intention of resisting.
No one supports it, no one understands, Qin Yueran doesn't know how long his escape will last, everyone thinks that the man he is going to marry or will marry is so dazzling, everyone thinks that this will be an absolutely matching talent, but who understands his own suffering? No matter how good he is, he doesn't like it, will he really be happy if he is combined like this?
Qin Yueran wanted to pursue her own happiness, not just show her happiness to othersβthat would be too much to herself.
Although she looks beautiful on the surface, she is good at dancing with long sleeves, and she is a famous social queen in Ninghai. However, when all the guests are gone, when all the hustle and bustle has subsided, in the dead of night, she will always stay on her own rooftop, quietly drink a glass of red wine, be stunned for a while, and then let her fingers dance on the keys.
This piano can be said to be his best friend except for Xia Qing, and the whispers in the hearts of those girls, Qin Yueran expressed them through the sound of the piano.
As soon as she left, it was nearly two years, Qin Yueran didn't dare to go back, she was afraid that after she went back, she would encounter all kinds of forced marriages, but unless she disappeared completely, she would still not be able to get rid of the family's control if she stayed in Ninghai. In the eyes of those people, it is always the interests of the family that are higher than the interests of the family.
In front of the so-called big picture, no one really cares about their happiness.
Two years is really precious as gold for a woman in the prime of her youth, she could have done many meaningful things, she could have talked about a love that can be remembered for a lifetime, even if it is poignant. But Qin Yueran could only force herself to hold on, hold on...... Until you can't hold it anymore.
"Dream Wedding" is the most frequent track she has played in the past two years, and there is no one.
Whenever she plays this song, Qin Yueran will have less hope for her wedding, more disappointed in reality, and feel that her life will be more depressed.
But so what? she can't be strong enough to ignore her family, and besides, if she causes undue losses to her family because of her selfishness, that's not what she wants to see.
Qin Yueran didn't want to compromise, but the reality forced her to compromise. She was strong and didn't want to surrender, but she would eventually raise her hands.
It wasn't the result she wanted, and she didn't even know how long she could hold out.
It's been a long road, so helpless.
When I was sad, there was no one to comfort me, so I could only squat down and hug myself.
Therefore, after hearing Su Rui say the sentence "Don't wronged yourself", Qin Yueran suddenly had a feeling that her nose was sour and her eyes were moist.
In all these years, no one has ever said such a thing to themselves.
It sounds like a heartwarming sense of understanding.
Don't be wronged by yourself, Qin Yueran really feels very wronged - why can't he control his own destiny?
There are many times when she even imagines that if she was not born in the Qin family in the capital, does not have such a seemingly prominent identity, and is just the daughter of an ordinary family, can she have a non-utilitarian love and have a spotless wedding?
However, there is no if.
In this world, there is not only the law of conservation of energy, but also the conservation of dynamics. This path, as if it was destined by birth, has gained something, and must lose something.
Can this conservation be broken?
When he raised his head again and looked at Su Rui, Qin Yueran's eyes had a different taste.
Looking at Qin Yueran, whose eyes were slightly red, Su Rui gently held her shoulders and said very seriously: "You will have a wedding of your own after all, believe me." β
"Hmm. Qin Yueran nodded, snorted, and said with a smile: "I hope you are not bragging, if you can't cash it out by then, I will come to you to settle the account." β
Qin Yueran found that she naturally said this, and there was no sense of estrangement between her and Su Rui, as if they were old friends who had known each other for many years.
However, this sentence seems a little ambiguous and intimate after all.
"Okay, if you can't get married and become an old girl, then come to me, it's a big deal that I wronged myself and took you in. Su Rui patted his chest and said.
", I will marry you and wronged you? This must be a blessing that you have cultivated in several lifetimes, right?" Qin Yueran smiled even more happily, such a smile looked so bright and moving under the reflection of the moonlight and starlight.
Su Rui continued to play a cheap role and said: "It is said that blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, who knows, maybe you are a broom star." β
"You are the broom star, I have had a feng shui master in the capital tell me my fortune since I was a child, saying that I am a rare wangfu life. When Qin Yueran said this, she couldn't help but feel a little gloomy: "Later, this comment spread out somehow, that is, because of this sentence, I will be involved in these things." β
"Can you believe the words of the fortune teller?"
"It's not a fortune teller, it's a feng shui master. Qin Yueran corrected.
"In my opinion, they are no different from liars. β
"The prestige of that master in the capital is very high, and there are many people who are very superstitious about him. Qin Yueran's mood was a little better, and she pursed her lips and smiled: "If you let them know that you say this about their idol, it is estimated that they will form a group to beat you up." β
"Then I'll take you to beat him first, isn't this a mistake?"
"As you said, you'll have to help me out of this breath when the time comes. Hearing this, Qin Yueran said with a smile, she didn't take Su Rui's words seriously.
"Okay, when I'm done with this fight, don't be moved to make a promise. β
"I make a promise to you? I don't lose anything? Let Xia Qing hear this, and he doesn't know how to clean you up. β
"I've said it all, I'm innocent with her. β
"I believe you are innocent of her, but she is not innocent of you. Qin Yueran seemed to mean something.
"Cut, I'd rather believe that there are ghosts in this world than believe in the broken mouth of a woman. β
"It's a clichΓ© and boring joke. β
After the two of them fought for a few words, they suddenly fell silent, and for a while, the atmosphere was a little faintly stagnant.
"Why don't you speak?"
"Why don't you speak?"
After a brief silence, the two men uttered the words almost simultaneously. They looked at each other in surprise, and they both laughed.
"You don't mind if I try your piano, right?" Su Rui said suddenly.
"Of course I don't mind, you can play the piano?" Qin Yueran looked at Su Rui, a little curious in his heart, but when Su Rui first saw this piano just now, he did seem a little excited.
"So-so. β
After Su Rui finished speaking, he was already sitting in front of the piano.
In women's minds, once a man can play the piano, he will have a different temperament.
Qin Yueran rarely saw a man playing the piano, she didn't believe it, Su Rui, who kicked the second young master of the Bai family in public and vomited blood half an hour ago, actually knew this kind of instrument?
For this kind of person with a six-star top-secret status, he should like to play, shouldn't it be guns?
However, Qin Yueran didn't expect that once Su Rui's fingers were placed on the piano keys, these fingers seemed to have a smart individual life!
After trying a few notes gently, Su Rui's expression seemed to be unprecedentedly focused.
The slender fingers stroked the keys like flowing water, and the heavenly notes spread out like mercury.
At this moment, the notes and melodies seem to be in harmony with the stars in the sky, making this rare night full of a different atmosphere.
It's very bright, it's rare, and it's very reluctant.
Qin Yueran stood on the side and looked at his eyebrows, looking at his expression, watching the movements of his fingers, he was a little stupid.
Different from the clear spring and flowing water that he played just now, Su Rui's melody reveals an atmosphere, and this atmosphere also contains a hint of sadness, although it is not thick, but it can be clearly felt.
Sometimes exciting, sometimes smooth, and after an abrupt stop, there will be a waterfall of mercury. To be able to play such a melody is no longer a simple technical category, but can only be done by pouring out the strongest and most sincere feelings.
Qin Yueran looked through the melody, as if he saw a lone wolf-like figure.
Bloodshed and smoke, loneliness and vastness, haggard and hope.
Through the sound of the piano, Qin Yueran seemed to feel a lot of emotions and saw a lot of things, what kind of hardships did this man go through?
Qin Yueran felt a faint pain in her heart, at this moment, this man playing the piano was so distressing.
She didn't know what he had really experienced before, but she could clearly feel that kind of feeling, once hesitant, once helpless, once sad, but she did not stop sending out endless hope for life.
The melody slowly stopped, the notes stopped flowing, but there was a touch of quiet beauty under the night sky.
The name of this piece is "We Have No Tomorrow."
"Su Rui, I suddenly want to hug you. β
When Su Rui played the closing tune, Qin Yueran suddenly said.
Su Rui turned his face in surprise and saw that the latter was already in tears.
"Good. β
Su Rui stood up, wiped the tears from Qin Yueran's face with both hands, and then gently hugged her into his arms.
But Qin Yueran hugged Su Rui tighter with her backhand.
This simple hug is not about ambiguity, nothing about feelings, only about the past and hope for life.
