Chapter 30: The First Glimpse
"I've never seen such a beautiful winter in England. β
"How have you been studying abroad for the past few years?" Lin Yu came closer, followed his line of sight, and flicked his fingers lightly on the snow-covered railing
"Not so good...... It's not that bad. Gu Bei lowered his head.
Lin Yu didn't know what he meant as if he hadn't received an answer.
"What about you, how have you been doing these years?"
Lin Yu remembered her stumbles after graduation, she used to be sad and abnormal, but now she only left a faint shadow, so faint that she forgot how many injuries she had suffered, and how many times she became accustomed to it.
"That's it, you saw it. She smiled pretending to be merry, a row of neat teeth under the corners of her mouth curled.
"I often hear Zhang Li mention you in England, and after every small gathering, she is always drunk and talking to you on the phone. β
"She's like that, she looks like she's swaggering, but she actually hides a lot of emotions in her heart. β
Gu Bei's words changed, "What about you?"
"Huh?"
"What kind of character you are. "In the basketball team, in addition to the coach, Lin Yu is the one he sees the most, she sends water to Zhang Li, buys medicine, and even takes equipment and delivers football uniforms.
She seemed to exist in every corner, and every time he didn't have time to say a word to her, the delicate figure disappeared, and there seemed to be something to do.
"I ...... It's ordinary. β
"Oh?"
Lin Yu always felt that Gu Bei's mood was not right today.
She stubbornly changed the subject: "It seems that you are here for you?"
Gu Bei was light-hearted: "Tomorrow is my birthday." β
"I'm sorry, but I didn't even have a birthday present. Lin Yu apologized sincerely.
Gu Bei suddenly smiled and tilted his head slightly, "It's okay." β
Zhou Zimo jumped out of the door and shouted in a loud voice: "I finally found you, I really know how to be idle." β
Zhou Zimo made an expression at Gu Bei, turned to Lin Yu and smiled: "Of course, it doesn't include our Lin beauty." β
Gu Bei asked, "How's the preparation?"
"You still need to ask about this kind of trivial matter?!Let's go down and eat, Miss Chen did it herself, only this once!"
"What she does......" Gu Bei didn't finish his words.
"Don't worry, I'm definitely poisoning people!"
Lin Yu pursed his lips, he was really afraid that he would be poisoned.
In the hall, a strange figure came out of the kitchen with something, one meter and seven meters tall, with a good body proportion, and a beautiful face painted with light makeup, there was a feeling of passing through the breeze.
Chen Yahan came out from the back, brought the prepared steak to the table, and introduced while unaproning, "This is Du Ruo, my good friend." β
The three of them walked over, and Du Ruo greeted them one by one, revealing everyone's beautiful feeling in every move, especially those eyes, which were clear and quiet.
After taking a seat, Chen Yabin opened a bottle of red wine, poured wine for everyone, handed the wine bottle to Du Ruo, she gently sent the wine glass over, Chen Yabin poured the wine, she took it with both hands, and took care of people.
"Brother Gu, this is the Du Ruo I often mention to you, get to know each other today. β
Gu Bei nodded slightly.
"She's just returned from England, and you're alumni, so I think you must have a lot in common. β
"It's a privilege to see you, too, from Cambridge. Du Ruo raised his wine glass and toasted Gu Bei.
"I'm glad to meet you, too. β
"I've been abroad for a long time, and I'm really sorry that you eat Western food with me. β
"It doesn't matter. β
The two spoke politely, and Lin Yu sat next to the two and ate seriously.
"Miss Lin, I want to toast you. β
Lin Yu raised her head, Du Ruo's watery eyes immediately attracted her, she generously wiped her mouth with a napkin, and then raised her wine glass.
Du Ruo didn't say much to her, just a few words of greeting, most of the time she talked to Gu Bei, Lin Yu listened to it on the side, it was something about studying abroad.
For the first time, she felt a real gap.
She looked at Du Ruo, she was wearing a white dress, her hair was dark, her eyes were spinning brightly on her palm-sized face, and every look was sincere and transparent, even she liked it.
Just a meal, Du Ruo got acquainted with everyone, and took the initiative to talk to Gu Bei, although Gu Bei looked at her, he still had to respond.
Cleaning up this kind of work was completely handed over to Lin Yu, it was not Chen Yabin who bullied her, she took the initiative to bring it up, probably to alleviate her incompatibility.
At the back of the third floor of the villa, there is a large music room with a variety of instruments, mostly guitars, and only one grand piano.
After resting for half an hour, Chen Yabin led them in to visit and generously handed over the right to use the instrument.
"Gu Bei, I remember that you played the piano very well, why don't you have a song?"
Gu Bei didn't excuse himself and walked to the piano.
"Wouldn't this be too monotonous? Why don't you let Du Ruo accompany you, she is also a piano master." After saying this, Chen Yahan suddenly paused, "Look at my brain, there is only one piano." β
Zhou Zimo said: "It's okay, they can play together." β
Lin Yu's heart seemed to be pricked by something, and after watching Du Ruo take his skirt and sit down, he eased up, Zhou Zimo cleverly sent a stool over, and Gu Bei sat down.
He was originally dressed in black, and from this direction he was even more slender, lowering his eyes and putting his hand on the black and white keys, Du Ruo smiled at him, nodded slightly, and the music sounded.
Everything is so harmonious!
Lin Yu looked down at her hand, and was stunned against her throat, once, she sat in front of the piano so elegantly, and the music at her fingertips flowed slowly, but now......
She looked at the two people in front of the piano, the talented woman looked very right, she couldn't say what the position of her existence was, everyone was slowly swaying with the music, only she was trembling.
At the end of the song, the mood reaches a climax.
Du Ruo not only knows the piano, but also the guitar and violin, and Lin Yu should only admire her excellence and take her emotions into her heart.
Chen Yabin suddenly had a suggestion, "Why don't we all play a song together?!"
It wasn't until this moment that the others realized Lin Yu's existence and looked at them allβbecause they really didn't know what Lin Yu would do.
There was a hint of embarrassment floating in the air.
"Lin Yu, if you don't know, you can help turn the score. Chen Yabin showed an embarrassed expression.
Du Ruo said: "Yabin, how did you speakβ"
"That's right, if you don't, you won't even be able to read the score, it's okay, I remind you. β
Lin Yu was extremely embarrassed, she secretly glanced at Gu Bei, and Gu Bei frowned.
"Is that okay? Huh?"
Lin Yu clasped his hands, his eyes wandered around the piano room, saw the cello in the corner, walked over and hugged it.
"Be careful!" Chen Yabin couldn't help but cry out.
Lin Yu sat on the stool, took out the cello, and held the bow in his hand.
"You...... Can play the cello?!"
"A little bit. β
"If the technology is not good, don't force it, everyone is a friend, and no one will mind. β
"It doesn't matter. β
"Then let's have a song "Ode to Joy" that fits the situation just right. β
Everyone returned to their places, and Gu Bei's eyes kept falling on her. She gestured, her eyes determined.
The sound of the piano came first, and after a while, Du Ruo's violin sound came in, Chen Yabin played the guitar, and came in close to the climax, and when the trumpet sounded, everyone listened carefully.
Lin Yu took a breath until she climaxed and leaned the bow against the strings, and everyone glanced at her with their afterglow, consciously or unconsciously, suspicious and friendly.
The low sound of the cello flowed, Chen Yahan was stunned for a moment, Gu Bei looked over unconsciously, and even Du Ruo and Zhou Zimo couldn't hide the surprise in their eyes!
The notes jump on the strings, low and romantic like a poem, gently telling the joyful and quiet atmosphere, bringing people into the realm of emptiness, slowly hitting the heart!
Lin Yu didn't care about her gaze, she was completely immersed in the music, and an abrupt voice sounded, interrupting her feeling - someone was wrong!
Zhou Zimo put down the trumpet and just looked at her fixedly, and the look in his eyes was so sincere that she panicked!
As soon as the song stopped, he couldn't wait to run over, "Lin Yu, how many treasures are you hiding?!
Chen Yabin Du Ruo came over, Du Ruo took her hand and praised her, Chen Yahan smiled and didn't speak.
Lin Yu glanced at Gu Bei for a moment, and his eyes were different.
When it was getting dark, Lin Yu finally came out of the piano room, and was pestered by Zhou Zimo to play several songs, and she felt weak all over.
Zhou Zimo, this guy is really energetic, he is not tired at all, and when he sits down in the hall, he still feels that he almost has the taste of playing, so he has to lead everyone to play truth or dare.
It's an enduring game, Lin Yu thinks.
Chen Yabin brought up the red wine, and Zhou Zimo said disgustedly: "You don't understand this, hurry up and bring up the white one!" Chen Yabin knocked him very unceremoniously.
This time, Zhou Zimo became the home field, he played with the pen and said proudly: "Whoever the pen head points to is who, in order to stimulate the point, we add an extra rule, if you don't answer the truth three times, the punishment will be doubled!"
Chen Yabin brought the wine to the table, and the game officially began.
Zhou Zimo twisted his hand, and the pen turned into a circle, and after a while, the pen stopped in front of Du Ruo.
Du Ruo smiled: "I choose to be honest, what do you want to know?"
Zhou Zimo looked at everyone, and finally chose to speak by himself: "Then I'm welcome, how old is Miss Du this year?"
"Is it that simple? Twenty-two. β
Zhou Zimo smiled and continued to turn the pen, this time the pen pointed at Chen Yabin, Zhou Zimo was about to laugh crazy, and hurriedly seized the opportunity, "Do you want to choose the truth?"
Chen Yabin, "Who is afraid of whom?"
"I'm here this time!" Zhou Zimo hurriedly seized the opportunity, "Where is the bottle of wine that the old man hid last time?" Zhou Zimo has been thinking about that taste, and finally seized the opportunity, "Don't lie!"
"On the second floor, turn left after the calligraphy and painting in the first room. β
"That's good. Zhou Zimo smiled from ear to ear.
Chen Yabin took the pen, "I'll try to turn around too." β
The pen pointed to Gu Bei.
"Gu Bei, what do you choose?" Gu Bei squinted his eyes and said, "Tell the truth." "He knows how crazy Chen Yabin is, and he doesn't dare to act rashly.
"I'm going to make a big move this time?"
"It doesn't matter. β
Du Ruo, Lin Yu's eyes fell on Gu Bei at the same time.
"You...... Is there anyone you like?"
Lin Yu was slightly moved, and he didn't dare to let out his atmosphere, while Du Ruo stared at Gu Bei.
"Yes...... There is one. β
