The Admiral obviously disagrees with her point of view: "If love really hinders the growth of a genius, then this genius is probably not natural." ”

Ciri pretended to be angry: "You are not allowed to say it again!"

"Okay, good, don't say it, don't say it. The Admiral teased her: "You are like this, you are really no different from a star chaser." ”

"It's still different, my star is much closer to me. Min Xili didn't allow anyone to say anything about Feng Shuyi, and she also knew that the admiral didn't seem to like him very much, so in order to stop her, she took her to an open-air shop and ordered two sandwiches and coffee.

"I thought you were going to take me to a big meal. The Admiral, though disgusted, picked up the sandwich and ate it.

Ciri didn't move, drank his coffee and said, "I thought you missed it after you left." Why did you change your taste not long after returning home?"

"It's not a change of taste, a big part of the reason I liked to eat this in the first place was because it was cheap, not delicious. You think it's delicious because you've been away from China for too long and haven't eaten your hometown's food. ”

Ciri saw that although she said this, she didn't delay. After a few bites, he sighed a little: "The only Chinese food I remember now is dumplings and kung pao chicken from the Chinese restaurant in the West District." ”

The Admiral remembered that she was sent to France by her father when she was a teenager, and she also stayed in a hotel when she went back, and felt a little sorry for her: "You have graduated, do you continue to stay in France or go back to China?"

Ciri put down the sandwich in his hand and said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "I want to find a Frenchman to marry, and I just immigrated here." ”

The admiral pursed his lips and took out a newspaper from his pocket: "You read this first, and then decide whether you want to marry a foreigner or not." ”

Siri didn't know what it meant, but when he saw the date of the newspaper, it was just three days ago. Then he looked at the Admiral, and for a moment he smiled at all, and then pressed the coffee in his hand on the newspaper, and thought for a moment before saying, "I don't believe it when it says it is going to go bankrupt." ”

"As far as I know, it seems that there is a problem with the project in the east of your city, and the funding chain is broken. The Admiral thought that Ciri must have been a little worried, because she had not picked up her sandwich since she put it down.

Ciri thought for a moment, and then said calmly: "Since he didn't tell me, I pretended not to know." ”

The Admiral asked her, "When was the last time your family gave you money?"

"Huh?" Ciri didn't expect her to suddenly ask this, and after thinking about it, she didn't even think about it, and said, "I forgot." ”

The admiral also felt that she had a big heart, so he took out a card from his pocket, and before he could hand it out, Ciri asked, "What are you doing here?"

Knowing that she wouldn't take it easily, he said, "Even if I borrow you." ”

"No, I still have money. Uncle Qi has given enough money. Ciri didn't care, when the two of them were at their poorest, each of them had a sandwich and a cup of coffee, and then walked three blocks back to the rented house, and he didn't think there was anything at the time, but now the Admiral remembered that it seemed that Ciri had never been short of money, but just accompanied himself to poverty.

The Admiral asked, "If you have money, why do you have to work so hard to take orders everywhere?"

Xili put down the coffee, and even his tone was a little melancholy: "Exercise and exercise your courage, you know that I don't have a stage like Feng Shuyi, and I can perform in front of thousands of people." By the way, I'm now one of the most famous cellists in our school, and I played as a soloist at the graduation ceremony. If you have time, come to my graduation ceremony. ”

Then she continued: "But you don't have to come deliberately, because I am still trying to find a way to continue my studies, worship a good teacher, and strive to one day you can hear my name in China." ”

"Are you really not going to go back to China?" the Admiral confirmed.

Xili didn't think about it and said directly: "I'm different from you, I don't have anything to worry about in China." It's better to see less at home. When I'm abroad, my dad still thinks of me, and when I return to China, either he doesn't feel comfortable with me, or I don't feel comfortable with him. Chickens fly and dogs jump. ”

Ciri stirred the coffee in the cup: "I'm done with the show in the evening, let's go to the tavern for a drink?"

"Forget it, I want to lie down in the hotel and rest. ”

"That's fine. Ciri hesitated for a while and asked her, "I always feel that you are full of worries when you come back this time." ”

"No, just a little tired. ”

The Admiral didn't want to say, and Ciri wouldn't ask again, true friends never forced each other.

The Admiral looked at the Ciri in front of her with a little dazed, because in her memory, Siri was always very energetic, even if she came back from a performance late in the evening, she could get up early the next morning. She can work hard for her dreams, and in order to avoid disturbing the people, she goes to school to practice the piano before dawn. When she met her on the subway and bus with a cello on her back, she lied that she was an orphan and had only one uncle to help her, and the Admiral never doubted it, because her eyes were too frank and straightforward for people to be suspicious.

"What's wrong?" Ciri looked at her staring at herself for a moment, not knowing what she was thinking.

The admiral picked out a lot of dishes for her: "I always feel that you have lost a lot of weight when you return to China this time." ”

Xili touched his face a little uncomfortably: "Oh...... Maybe it's because I haven't had a good rest lately. ”

"You still have to eat more, you're already thin. The admiral motioned for her to move her chopsticks a few more times, and then nagged: "You are a good figure, you will have to find a piano boy in the future." Otherwise, I'm always worried that the cello is going to crush you. ”

The Admiral recalls that in the past, the two of them lived in the same apartment, and that Siri was always pestering him, not talking or disturbing her, just staying by her side, where he could see her. The Admiral would sometimes deliberately find something to talk to her, but later he probably understood that Ciri only needed someone to accompany her at certain times.

There were also times when she was left alone, playing her cello and not saying a word all day. It's just that this state rarely happens, most of the time she is very fresh, like a leaf lotus, seemingly helpless but the roots can even hold water.

Xili didn't speak, and symbolically ate two chopsticks, thinking that he might not run around with the piano on his back in the future.

After eating, the two of them went to the antique street in front of the Taigu Temple again, and the admiral's phone kept ringing during this time.

"You held the phone all the way and didn't answer when it rang. What's wrong?" Ciri stared at her, as if trying to find some clues in her face.

The Admiral just smiled, hung up the phone and sighed, "I've been in trouble lately. It's making me anxious. ”

Siri looked good: "Can you be in trouble, man?"

"Not counting. The Admiral blurted out.

Ciri smiled: "It's not a man, it's a woman, isn't it, why don't you like women directly?"

"You're confident in yourself. The Admiral put the phone back in his bag and said apologetically, "I won't be with you in the afternoon." ”

Ciri thought she should go to see "Trouble": "Go ahead, or your trouble will blow up the phone." ”

The admiral couldn't see her watching her own good show, so he retaliated with a tooth for a tooth: "I heard Song Si say that Pei Rui gave all the work that needs to go abroad and spend a lot of time in the second half of the year, this is not the state that workaholics should have, maybe he is leaving time to trouble you." ”

"Oh... Is it~" Then the conversation changed and asked, "How do you know that it's the trouble that came to me, and not the little star you said last time?"

"Less garlic. The Admiral gently pushed her: "Anyway, if I were you, I would have to make him suffer first, so that my heart would be more balanced." Also, don't take it too seriously, or I won't be able to clean him up when you cry. ”
