Chapter 302: Rewards

Outside the window, on the lawn that has not yet had time to return to green, Xiaoting's father Qiao Yuanfan is preparing a barbecue grill with several male relatives and friends, and Xiaoting's mother Liu Juan is wearing various meats on a steel skewer with a few female relatives and friends.

Xiao Nan leaned against the floor-to-ceiling window of the study, her eyes staring out blankly, but she couldn't resist the "Turkish March" pouring into her ears like flowing water.

Maybe Xia Longfei is to commemorate the scene when he and Xiaoting played the piano in the café, so he deliberately proposed that the two of them play the "Turkish March" with four hands, which is exactly the song that Xiaoting "gave back" to Xia Longfei in the café.

Xia Longfei and Xiao Ting sat side by side in front of the piano with a slight distance, Xia Longfei sat on the left side of the keyboard in charge of the bass range, Xiao Ting sat on the right side and was responsible for the high register, and the shelf in the middle of the sheet music was empty, obviously both of them had the confidence not to read the score.

Two people, four hands, dancing fingers like flying. Xia Longfei's interpretation of the bass part is majestic and majestic, like a rolling river pouring for thousands of miles, while the high part played by Xiaoting is light and agile, like a gurgling stream flowing between mountains and rocks. The cheerful and smooth "Turkish March", with the cooperation of the two of them, is like a clear mountain stream, bypassing the mossy rocks, flowing past the old trees lying on the water, splashing all the way, gradually gathering together, becoming a small river, becoming a big river, and then rolling huge waves, rushing in the direction of the sea......

Listening to this familiar melody in his ears, Xiao Nan gradually saw a thing from a long time ago in front of him. At that time, Xiao Nan did not live in the building she rented now, but rented a house in another nearby urban village, at that time he lived in a house with only a single room without a kitchen and bathroom, the kitchen and bathroom were shared, which was both inconvenient and unhygienic, and he always wanted to change to a house with better conditions, but he was too busy with work and love and had no time to find it.

At that time, Xiao Nan and Xiao Ting had just dated for a long time, it was the glue-like love stage, sometimes Xiao Ting would go to Xiao Nan's residence after work to play, listen to music and watch DVDs together, because the room did not have a kitchen and bathroom, which made Xiao Ting feel very inconvenient, so Xiao Nan made up her mind to change to a place with better conditions, at least, there must be an independent kitchen and bathroom.

Later, she was introduced to find a suitable place, which is the one-bedroom and one-bedroom independent kitchen and bathroom that she is renting now. On the day she went to see the house, Xiao Ting excitedly had to go with Xiao Nan - after all, a small world of her own outside the home is so powerful for a pair of lovers in love!

At that time, the landlord Wang took this little couple into the room, and hurriedly went downstairs to play his mahjong, Xiao Ting pulled Xiao Nan to look here and there in the small room, and felt very satisfied.

When they looked at the balcony, the kitchen, the bathroom and the living room, they were very surprised to find a piano in the empty little bedroom - of course, it was not the kind of real guy who couldn't move in at all, but a small toy piano for children to play with, only a 17-inch monitor about the size of a monitor, although the paint was somewhat damaged but still in good condition, I don't know why it was abandoned by the previous renter.

Seeing the toy piano, Xiao Ting was as excited and excited as if she had discovered a new world, and she asked Xiao Nan with a smile: "Do you want to hear me play the piano?"

At that time, Xiao Nan didn't know that Xiao Ting had already passed the piano amateur grade 10 exam when she was in elementary school, so she thought Xiao Ting was joking, after all, what they just found was just a toy piano. "Okay, then let's ask Miss Ting'er to play a song!"

Xiao Ting smiled slightly, lifted her skirt with both hands and made a formal skirt ceremony, as if she was not facing Xiao Nan but the crowd of people in the audience, her serious appearance made Xiao Nan laugh, and she also pretended to be serious very cooperatively, as if he was sitting in the Vienna Golden Hall in a tuxedo at the moment enjoying the piano recital.

Xiao Ting picked up her skirt and squatted in front of the toy piano, first tapped all the 25 keys on the keyboard briskly with her fingers, and the posture of playing with both hands seemed to be very professional......

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

As the ensemble between the two gradually got better, Xiao Ting began to deliberately add some improvised brilliance to the treble part she was responsible for, and Xia Longfei immediately responded to the bass part he was responsible for, and also added some improvisational renditions to match Xiao Ting's jump.

However, Xiao Ting seemed to deliberately give Xia Longfei a problem, and the treble part she was responsible for began to gradually break away from the routines prescribed by traditional musical scores, and the rhythm of the interpretation became faster and faster, the improvised cadenza part became more and more complex and imaginative, and the range occupied became wider and wider, often passing through Xia Longfei's right arm to the left side of the keyboard to play the bass keys, so that Xia Longfei had to make corresponding changes, and the improvisational cadenza he responded to was also extended to the right high register.

In this way, the originally smooth and cheerful melody is gradually filled with the smell of gunpowder, as if the two people are not playing together, but desperately competing against the piano.

Xiaoting: This is ...... What are you going to do...... Xia Longfei, who was secretly puzzled in his heart, turned his face and secretly glanced at Xiao Ting, who was dancing like a finger, only to see a provocative smile on the corner of her mouth, a pair of beautiful almonds with a very complicated look in her eyes, a little naughty and a little proud, and a little bit of killing intent like a fighter, as if she was not playing the piano, but dancing with a long sword and competing with her opponent on the top of Mount Huashan......

"Oh my God, you're so good!" Xiao Nan applauded desperately, Xiao Ting stood up and gave a very formal skirt ceremony, as if thanking the audience, but when she raised her head after the ceremony, she was full of naughty smiles, like a sun flower blooming in the noon sun.

"How is it, does it sound good?" Xiao Ting asked Xiao Nan a little proudly.

"Of course it's good! I really didn't expect my wife to be a pianist!" Xiao Nan praised his colleagues and lost no time in taking advantage of them.

"Phew, who's your wife, it's shameless!" Xiao Tingjiao said angrily. Her face was flushed with shame, but there was not the slightest hint of anger, but the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were full of joy overflowing from her heart. "I'll play the piano for you, how can you thank me?"

"That'...... Let's go eat steak together!" Xiao Nan said: "There is a shop next to our company, and the steaks there are delicious and affordable!"

"Forget it......" Xiao Ting shook her head and rejected Xiao Nan's proposal. "If you want to move over again, the cost of hiring a car, the cost of paying half a year's rent and deposit, adds up to a lot of money, and the money you owe to buy Suzuki Hayabusa hasn't been paid off in full, how can you spend money recklessly?"

"That'...... Then you say, how should I reward you?" Xiao Nan scratched his scalp and asked, Xiao Ting looked at him and smiled sweetly, pointing to her cheek with her hand......

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

"Empty--" A momentary distraction made Xia Longfei unconsciously play the wrong key, and the "Turkish March" that was in the excitement stopped for the summer, he just wanted to play the wrong place from the beginning, but Xiaoting next to him smiled slightly and stopped playing.

"Brother Xiaolong's piano skills are really exquisite, and Ting'er admires them. Xiao Ting smiled, twisted the hem of her skirt and flew a skirt salute to Xia Long. "If we have the chance, we'll learn from each other later, so let's stop here today......

"Oh...... That...... Okay then......" Xia Longfei said reluctantly. The emotions that he had just been mobilized in the piano were suddenly interrupted, and he felt like he was hanging in the air, and he felt a little depressed in his heart.

"I'll go down below to see how Dad's barbecue is prepared, Xiao Nan-" Xiao Ting stretched out her arm to Xiao Nan from a distance and beckoned: "Come and go down with me!" Brother Xiaolong, please do it~"

Xiao Nan was still immersed in the painful entanglement of gains and losses just now, until the "Turkish March" played with four fingers was suddenly interrupted, and she came back to her senses to see Xia Longfei and then see if Xiao Ting couldn't figure out what was going on, at this time she heard Xiao Ting's call, and walked over a little dizzy, and was gently held by Xiao Ting's arm, and walked out of the door together, leaving only a depressed Xia Longfei there in a daze at their backs.

"Oh yes!" As soon as she walked out of the room, Xiao Ting turned around and came back as if she remembered something. "Brother Xiaolong, there is something I want to ask you for......"

"Uh...... What's the matter?" Xia Longfei asked strangely.

"That's right, she-" Xiao Ting pulled Xiao Nan over and pushed her in front of Xia Longfei's eyes, "You know her name, right?"

"Sister Xiao Nan, of course I know. Xia Longfei was a little confused. "Why did you suddenly ask about this?"

Xiao Ting nodded and said, "Please don't call him Xiao Nan when you are in front of my parents, please, remember to remember!"

"That'...... What should I call her?" Xia Longfei was even more dizzy when he heard this.

"You just call her Xiaolan, Cheng Xiaolan, remember? Please!" Xiao Ting begged.
