Chapter 13: New Beginning
Xu Xincheng looked at the girl and thought, "Under such a vast night sky, in such a quiet night, what is she thinking about at this moment?"
Thinking about this, he thought he was amused, "How could I possibly guess what she was thinking." Forget it, don't guess, let's listen to the book!"
He likes to read paper books or e-books, but when it is inconvenient, he will also listen to audio books, and in this situation, listening to audio books is naturally the best choice, and he can also watch her while listening to books.
He has watched "The Three-Body Problem" twice, but he really hasn't heard of the radio drama version. He clicked on his favorite second part, "Dark Forest", and after listening to it for a while, he was attracted by the vivid and emotional voices of the announcers, and was taken by their voices into the grand world of "The Three-Body Problem" and into the vast universe built by Da Liu.
Radio dramas are about 20 minutes long, and he starts listening to the first episode, and after about 20 minutes, he moves on to the second episode, and after about 20 minutes, he enters the third, fourth, and fifth episodes......
Although the story of "The Three-Body Problem" is very exciting, and the broadcast performances of the announcers are also very exquisite and delicate, from half past three in the morning, the sleepy insects in his body have started to act again, and they continue to attack his eyelids.
When he heard episode 16, his upper and lower eyelids started fighting again, starting every 10 minutes, every 3 minutes when he heard episode 17, every 3 minutes when he heard episode 18, every 30 seconds when he heard episode 19, every 20 seconds when he heard episode 20, and every 10 seconds when he heard episode 21.
The time to nod and doze off also ranged from once every ten minutes, to every three minutes, to every minute, to every thirty seconds, to every twenty seconds, and then to every ten seconds......
Just when he felt that he was really sleepy and couldn't hold on, he finally waited for the sound of sweeping the floor, which sounded so wonderful and beautiful to him at this moment.
He hurriedly struggled to look into the distance, where two urban beauticians were sweeping the ground very seriously, one left and one right, walking towards them step by step, and five old people, who were carrying birdcages, walking leisurely, chatting and laughing, also walking this way.
Xu Xincheng struggled to look at the time, at 04:30, and then looked at the east, the horizon in the east has begun to whiten, and the city of Guangzhou will soon usher in a new day.
"Hold on a little longer. He said to himself.
He lasted about another 20 minutes, and more and more people went to the bank of the Pearl River for morning exercise.
After seeing the family set up again by the stone guardrail yesterday morning and practicing the Tai Chi sword, he took one last look at the girl who was still sitting quietly, and saw that she was fine, so he lay down on the stone bench with confidence, still using the backpack as a pillow, and as soon as his head was on the backpack, the person fell asleep.

A melodious, beautiful and rhythmic piano piece came into his ears, from the beginning of the big and small, intermittent, to gradually clear into the song, Xu Xincheng heard that it was "New Beginning", his favorite piano piece "New Beginning".

"New Beginning" is an online divine comedy that has become popular all over the world in recent years.
When Xu Xincheng first heard this piano piece three years ago, he fell in love with it, and he immediately downloaded it and set it as his mobile phone ringtone and alarm ringtone.
He also searched the Internet for all the information related to this piano piece, especially the information of the composer and performer, but the composer and performer of this piano piece are very mysterious, and no one knows his or her true identity so far, and some hackers have traced it back to the time when this piece was first uploaded to the Internet, and the signature attached to the piece was only one English letter, "L".
It is said that this piano piece was overheard by a famous pianist on the Internet, and he liked it so much that he immediately reposted it on the music platform, and it was played 3 million times in three days.
To date, it has been played more than a billion times, and music lovers hail it as an upgraded version of Mendelssohn's "Song of Spring", and some compare it to the spring version of Beethoven's "Symphony of Destiny".

It is said that this version has been downloaded tens of millions of times so far, and tens of millions of people around the world have set it as a ringtone or alarm tone.

Xu Xincheng slowly opened his eyes, and at the same time turned his head to look in the direction where the piano sound came from, he saw an aunt in a bright red tracksuit, she was standing by the stone guardrail, her eyes were closed, shaking her head leisurely with the graceful melody of the music, swaying her body lightly, it could be seen that she was deeply intoxicated by this beautiful piano music.
The song came from a pink player in her hand, the original song of "New Beginning".

When he was a child, Xu Xincheng studied piano for several years, and the piano teacher said that he had a very good musical talent and potential, but because the family's financial conditions were too limited, and he had to spend time and energy on studying, although he liked it, he stopped after taking the amateur sixth grade.
Although his piano playing level is average, his appreciation of piano music is very professional.
He liked this piano piece very much, and the reason why tens of millions of lovers at home and abroad praised it as an upgraded version of Mendelssohn's "Song of Spring" and the spring version of Beethoven's "Symphony of Destiny" is because the piece is both melodious and full of passion, like "Song of Spring", which makes people indulge in the image of early spring full of greenery and vitality, and is like "Symphony of Destiny" It inspires people's tenacious struggle and unremitting struggle for fate, infinite yearning and persistent pursuit of a beautiful new beginning and new hope, and ardent love and hard work for a beautiful new world and new life.
He has heard this piano piece countless times, but every time he hears it, the melody that inspires people to forge ahead and is full of positive energy can still give him great energy, and every time, it can stimulate his yearning and enthusiasm for a better life in the future.

Xu Xincheng, who was stimulated by the huge energy of the piano music of "New Beginning", was in high spirits, and his mind suddenly cleared up, and his first thought was the girl.
He thought that she must have heard the tune too, so he quickly sat up and looked in her direction.
The stone bench was empty, except for the bottle of mineral water that had been put down last night.
At this time, the heart that was still full of positive energy just now was invaded by a very complex feeling, in which there was confusion, melancholy and helplessness, but more worry, uneasiness and apprehension.
He looked at the time, and it was 6:10.
At this time, the Pearl River, the buildings on both sides of the riverbank, the viewing road where he is located, the big banyan tree on the viewing road, and the people who are moving in the morning on the viewing road, are all bathed in the warm morning sunshine.
With mixed feelings, he stood up, twisted his neck, moved his shoulders, waved his hands, and then picked up the flattened backpack, patted it, and put it on his back.
Seeing that the bottle of water had never been opened, he thought to himself, not to waste it, but to get it back.
So, he walked over to the stone bench.
He saw that under the bottle of mineral water, there was a small note, and he was surprised in his heart, took out the note, opened the folded note, and saw two words written on it: "Thank you!"
Suddenly, the melancholy and anxiety in her heart just now were all dispelled, replaced by full joy and peace of mind, it seems that the guardian of the past two nights has still responded, and her condition should have improved somewhat.
He said to himself: "That's good, as long as her condition has improved positively, then the protection of these two nights will be valuable and meaningful." ”
