Chapter 593 - Re-Pressing the Black and White Keys (Part I)
Qiao Nan's wedding was a grand event on Jixiang Road, and almost everyone who could attend attended it, but everyone had been looking forward to it for a long time, and Wei Chenglin still did not show up.
It's not that he's playing big names, it's that he's really too busy to have time. Zhao Yanfen specially called Lao Qiao and explained the situation: "Brother Qiao, Cheng Lin is on tour, running around the country, and I am also by his side to take care of him, so I really can't spare time to return to Hong Kong City." Don't worry, I will definitely pay a big share of the money, don't be angry with you and Teacher Li!"
How could Qiao Jianjun be angry? Wei Chenglin was very promising, and he was also happy. Although it was Qiao Nan who rescued him from the thief's den back then, Old Qiao basically didn't mention it. He didn't want to ask for credit again and again, and he didn't want to use this matter to put his benefactor's score, so that Wei Chenglin would not forget this kindness.
As soon as Qiao Nan's wedding ended, Jixianglu quickly regained his calm, and when Lao Qiao also began to be sad, Wei Chenglin came back in the dust. Unlike before, he came back quietly by himself.
Jixiang Road is obviously the place with the heaviest fireworks in the port city, and there is a group of the most energetic students, so it is impossible to be deserted here. But when Wei Chenglin came back in a thick windbreaker, he had the same sense of desolation as Lao Qiao. However, he soon figured out that the reason why he felt lonely was because there were fewer and fewer acquaintances on the street.
He took advantage of the lack of people and went to the wonton restaurant for a meal. After so many years, only the wontons are still familiar to him, and the people who make the wontons are also familiar to him, which makes him feel very familiar.
He apologized to Qiao Jianjun first, and then asked about Qiao Lin's recent situation. Since getting married, Qiao Lin's frequency of posting moments has also decreased, and Wei Chenglin is very busy and does not care about her as meticulously as before.
"She's nice and can video with us two or three times a week. But I'm also quite tired in the United States, and when I look at her photos, she's as thin as she was in high school. β
Wei Chenglin said: "I look at her circle of friends, she has started dancing again, and she still looks good. β
"Well, she also sent the video over. was busy before, and his energy was focused on Sun Ruiyang. After going to the United States, Sun Ruiyang encouraged her to start dancing again, so that her study abroad life would not be too boring. β
Wei Chenglin nodded slowly, this is indeed in line with Sun Ruiyang's style of acting. After Zhao Linlin returned to Beijing, she also told him the whole process of Sun Ruiyang's marriage proposal, and Wei Chenglin could only sigh to himself.
It's not that he doesn't have Sun Ruiyang's openness, if it were him, he would have made up his mind from the beginning to propose to Qiao Lin in front of everyone, so he wouldn't have to cooperate with Qiao Lin to "steal" the household registration book. From childhood to adulthood, he couldn't be like Sun Ruiyang, playing with Qiao Lin while protecting her maturely and steadily.
"Hey, Chenglin, what's wrong with you?"
Being shouted by Qiao Jianjun, Wei Chenglin came back to his senses, and he hurriedly said: "It's okay, I just think they are very happy, very good." β
"Who says it isn't? It would be nice if they didn't live separately, and Sun Ruiyang wouldn't get sick. β
The two of them were doing well, and Wei Chenglin couldn't tell what mood he was in. When he returned to Hong Kong City this time, he would definitely visit Sun Ruiyang. I heard that he performed another medical miracle and is still alive. His relatives and friends did not give up hope, and when they heard that there was a cure for an incurable heart disease, they rushed to send Sun Ruiyang's case over.
has lived in Beijing with her son for a few years, and Zhao Yanfen also has a familiar doctor. That time, she also asked someone to meet a cardiac surgeon and showed Sun Ruiyang's film to others. The expert stared at it for a moment and asked, "When was this filmed? Is he still alive?"
Zhao Yanfen was speechless and choked, and was gloomy for a long time after returning home.
Others had a similar experience, with doctors saying it was too complicated to operate. Sun Ruiyang joked that even if he was surviving, he would work hard to live and impress the experts.
Sun Ruiyang spent most of his time recuperating at home, and when Wei Chenglin went to see him, an old Chinese medicine doctor was giving him massage. The nurse said he could barely stand for a while with the help of others. But he didn't dare to push too hard, because his heart couldn't bear it.
Wei Chenglin thought to himself that a scholar with strong self-esteem like Sun Ruiyang might be very mindful of others coming to see him, and he didn't want others to see a sick and weak self. But on the contrary, Sun Ruiyang does not reject the visit of friends, he is still very talkative when he is in good spirits, and he does not close himself off.
During this period of recuperation at home, he not only learned a lot of traditional Chinese medicine, but also studied the tea ceremony attentively. He personally made tea for Wei Chenglin, Wei Chenglin looked straight and said, "If I hadn't known you since I was a child, I would have thought you were a military advisor living in seclusion in a certain valley." Frail and sickly, he doesn't care about the world, but he understands everything. β
"Am I not a military advisor? You forgot, Jolene always called me a kobold military advisor. β
"That's tooβeh, don't just pour me tea, you drink it too!"
Sun Ruiyang shook his head: "No, you drink tea, I only drink boiled water." β
β¦β¦
Since he can't drink tea, why does he put a lot of effort into studying the tea ceremony? Sun Ruiyang did not shy away from it, and said bluntly: "Exercise yourself! As long as I can do something while sitting, I want to do it well." β
Just like when he couldn't go out when he was a child, he trained himself to become a math king, and now he can't stand up, but he can still become an all-rounder. Wei Chenglin couldn't help but admire him.
As for why Wei Chenglin returned to Hong Kong City, Sun Ruiyang also guessed it at once - in addition to distraction, it was to see Song Minrou. Wei Chenglin was embarrassed to admit it, he said that he didn't actually contact Song Minrou, and he didn't know if Miss Song would see him.
Sun Ruiyang heard from his mother that Song Minrou appeared at Qiao Nan's wedding for a while, but left quickly. Chen Yun commented: "After so many years, her friendship for her cousin is still written on her face, which is so obvious that at the banquet, her parents are very embarrassed. However, if you have to talk about 'love', you can understand her thoughts, who hasn't been infatuated?"
As for why Song Minrou ran away from her cousin's wedding, no one knows. But Sun Ruiyang guessed that her cousin was living so happily, she probably couldn't accept it!
If you put it in the past, come out of Sun Ruiyang's house, climb one floor, and go to Song Minrou. But now it's different, the Song family was forced to leave a year ago, and they rented a two-bedroom house in the neighborhood next door, and since then, the superiority of living in the "rich area" has completely disappeared.
Wei Chenglin once asked Song Minrou if she wanted, he could lend a house for the Song family to live in. But Song Minrou proudly refused: "Many bankrupt people don't even have a place to stay, or the family is crammed into a small dilapidated house, but my family still has a place to stay, and I still have my own room, which is good enough." β
Wei Chenglin didn't force it anymore, nor did he explain to her that the Song family could afford to rent a house, and that was also the money he borrowed.
In a simple rental house, they don't need to buy expensive furniture, and the piano, which was once regarded as life-like by Song Minrou, was also abandoned by her. She resolutely said that she didn't want to play anymore, she could fool others, but she couldn't fool her mother. Li Lanlan used the excuse that she needed a piano and bought a cheap piano, but Song Minrou lost her temper very rarely: "What are you doing to buy such a thing? I can't even say I won't play, are you deliberately stimulating me?"
Li Lanlan was very aggrieved, she couldn't figure out whether her eldest daughter was angry because she bought a cheap piano or because she bought a piano? But Song Minrou did have backbone, and if she didn't play, she wouldn't play. Although Li Lanlan had witnessed it many times, she curled up on the sofa in the middle of the night, staring at the piano in a daze, unconsciously making movements to relax her fingers.
More than half a year ago, with the help of Qiao Lin, Wei and Song finally released their suspicions. Wei Chenglin handed the key to the piano shop to Song Minrou and said, "This Steinway in the office was bought by me from a friend, more than 300,000 yuan, and I don't know if you can take a fancy to it." The piano is spiritual, and if you don't play it, it's lonely. I'm not in Port City all year round, so if you have time, come and talk to it, it should like you very much. β
Wei Chenglin, who is always ridiculed as "uneducated", will become poetic as soon as he touches the piano. Song Minrou didn't think about how to refuse him, so she could only put the key away. Wei Chenglin once thought that if he was as arrogant as her, he might not put down his body and press the black and white keys again, but after he finished the tour, he was pleasantly surprised to find that Song Minrou played a lot of tunes on his piano.
So, he returned to Port City again and wanted to talk to her.
