Chapter 13: The Piano of Sorrow
"She's a miserable child. ”
"Hmm. ”
Xiye replied rarely and agreed with Fan Shaofeng's words.
On a summer afternoon, the sun is just right, and Xia Nuan sits lazily on the swing in the garden and basks in the sun.
At this time, from a distance, came the kitten, which had been covered in snow-white, and the cat's steps were light, although it ran fast but elegant.
The kitten quickly ran to Xia Nuan's side, and easily jumped onto Xia Nuan's lap with a force on all fours.
Xia Nuan hugged the kitten with some surprise and stroked it gently.
"Guoguo, how did you know I was here?"
"Sure enough, you know me best, and you should enjoy such a good sun. ”
As she spoke, Xia Nuan continued to stroke the kitten in her arms, and the kitten also comfortably exposed her belly and narrowed her eyes.
And just as one person and one cat were enjoying the sunbathing, the sound of a piano came from the room on the second floor not far away.
The sound of the piano is graceful and melodious, which shows the skill of the player, but you can also feel the deep sadness of the person like the ocean.
Xia Nuan frowned, put the kitten on the swing, and then walked in the direction where the sound of the piano came from.
The owner of the kitten on the swing was a little reluctant to go far here, but he still didn't want to leave the warm sun, so he just meowed a few times and continued to bask in the sun.
Xia Nuan entered the house from the garden and went straight to the second floor, and finally stood in the room on the second floor where the sound of the piano came.
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
The sound of the piano in the room stopped abruptly, and then a magnetic voice came out.
"Come in. ”
Xia Nuan, who was outside the door, opened the door and walked in after getting permission.
After entering the room, Xia Nuan began to let go of herself, and sat cross-legged on the summer bed, looking at him with an unhappy face.
"Brother, can't you play a little happy tune?"
"I'm so sad every day, I'm about to get depressed. ”
Summer has never left her since Xia Nuan came in, looking at her sitting posture regardless of her image and unreasonable complaints, and smiled helplessly.
"Is it that serious?"
"If that's the case, then I should have been depressed first, but I'm fine now, so don't think about it. ”
"I really don't know what your little head thinks about all day, if you have it?"
"Also, look at your sitting posture, where is there a girl's appearance, Dad sees it and wants to talk about you. ”
Xia Nuan retorted unconvinced.
"Dad won't talk about me, he's always been the best for me!"
"Then you're still afraid of him?"
This has always been a question in Summer's mind.
Obviously, Xia Anguo is better to Xia Nuan than to his biological son, but Xia Nuan is still very afraid of him, and Xia Nuan can feel that it is a kind of fear from the heart.
But because of this, I really can't figure it out in the summer.
And the only explanation can only be that Xia Anguo's explanation of the incident ten years ago did not tell the truth completely, and that incident must be the reason for Xia Nuan's fear.
But Xia Nuan had already lost the memory of that night because of a high fever, so the breakthrough of the truth could only be in Xia Anguo.
Xia Nuan choked when she heard this, and she was a little incoherent.
"I ...... I'm ...... Revere. ”
"Yes, it's respect. ”
"And you, don't change the subject, why do you always play such sad tunes?"
Summer's look darkened for a moment, but it soon regained its vigor.
"I don't always play sad tunes, but you don't hear them every time I play cheerful tunes. ”
Xia Nuan's dissatisfied Nunu mouth looked at Xia with a look of disbelief.
"I believe you're a ghost, every time you play the piano, I'm not happy, I haven't seen you cheerful once. ”
Summer was stunned when she heard this.
It seems to be true.
Every time he played the piano, Xia Nuan would be by his side.
Whether it is practicing on weekdays or participating in various competitions, Xia Nuan has always been by his side.
No matter how far away, no matter what she was doing at the time, even if she skipped class and risked being scolded by Xia Anguo, she would go.
Thinking of this, the corners of Summer's mouth hooked up with a smile, and she looked at Xia Nuan very gently.
"Then I'll play you a cheerful tune now, and I'll just play it for you alone. ”
Xia Nuan's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she nodded excitedly.
"Okay, then you are not allowed to play this song for anyone else. ”
Hearing this, Summer pinched Xia Nuan's nose dotingly.
"Yes, Your Highness Princess. ”
"Excuse me, what tune does my princess want to listen to?"
Xia Nuan held her face and pretended to think, but in fact, she already had a good choice in her heart.
She remembers one time when she came to look for Summer, but he wasn't there, and she stumbled upon the piano piece called "To Alice" in her boredom of waiting.
Unlike other piano scores, this one looks old but looks like it's been treasured, and it's not only well-bound, but also has a special cover.
At that time, Xia Nuan was very curious about the score, and later searched for it and listened to it, and the piano music is still saved in Xia Nuan's mobile phone.
"I want to hear 'To Alice'. ”
Summer was stunned when she heard this, and the valve of memory was opened.
It's also a summer afternoon, but the person who plays the piano is no longer summer, but Xia Qing, who has always been quiet, like a child with ADHD.
And the summer at that time was just a listener.
But he clearly remembered that the sun fell on Xia Qing very gently that day, and the soft circle of light made Xia Qing look holy and beautiful, and the beauty was not like words.
And that day she played the tune "To Alice".
Xia clearly remembers that Xia Qing was like a tomboy at that time, and only behaved like a girl when she played the piano.
can let Xia Qing, who is so active, sit down peacefully, Xia Qing knows that Xia Qing really likes the piano.
And Xia Qing's favorite piece is Beethoven's "To Alice".
"Brother, what do you want?"
"Why have you been wandering lately?"
Xia Nuan raised her hand and waved it in front of Xia, her tone dissatisfied.
Summer's thoughts were pulled back, and some complicated looks at Xia Nuan.
"Girl, why did you remember to listen to this?"
Xia Nuan picked up one of Summer's arms and sprinkled coquettishly.
"Oh, I just want to hear this, so you can play this one for me. ”
Summer withdrew the arm that was being held by Xia Nuan and turned to face the piano.
"I don't know much about the song you said, I'll play "Canon" for you, it's also very cheerful and good. ”
said that summer was about to start playing, but Xia Nuan suddenly got up and held down Summer's hand.
There was a screeching noise coming from the keys, and Xia Nuan's expression was a little lost.
"Girl ......"
"What does that piece mean to you in particular, doesn't it?"
Xia Yan didn't know how to answer, but his silence had already given Xia Nuan an an answer.
"Is that person more important to you than I am?"
