"Nonsense!" Tang Xiao pulled out his hand from Pei Yuansheng's hand, moved it back and said: "Pei Yuansheng, do you really think that I will become mentally retarded after drinking a little wine, and I can believe it whatever you say? I Tang Xiaocai is not so stupid, do you know, I used to have good grades! How can a smart person like me be deceived by you?"

Pei Yuansheng sat down idly on a white rattan chair on the terrace, and looked at Tang Xiaoxiao, who was in broken thoughts: "Does good grades mean that you are very smart?

Tang Xiao blinked and said, "No matter, I'm very smart anyway." ”

Pei Yuansheng nodded and said, "Well, you are very smart. ”

Tang Xiao was still squatting on the ground, tilting his head to look at Pei Yuansheng: "Pei Yuansheng, can you sing?"

Pei Yuansheng was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why did you suddenly ask about this?"

Sure enough, what do people who drink think more, or is it that Dr. Tang is actually a hidden music lover? Pei Yuansheng looked at Tang Xiao with interest.

Tang Xiao, who was squatting on the ground, looked small, and the posture of tilting her head made her look younger than her actual age.

He watched her from a short distance, not daring to get too close, for fear that he would reach out and ruffle her hair.

It's just such an ordinary act, but he doesn't dare to do it to her easily, because people are addicted, and if he allows himself to cross the distance, then what about the next time? He can't help but want to reach out and take her into his arms, or even kiss her forehead.

Don't think about it anymore. Pei Yuansheng stretched out his finger and tapped the corner of his forehead, reminding himself not to have those non-trivial thoughts again.

"I don't know. Tang Xiao looked over from the terrace and saw not the Zhu family's garden, but the faint stars.

The stars stay in their own place, each following the rules, but occasionally when you look at it, you will feel that the stars are flowing, and the ink-blue sky is like a sparkling river.

The starry sky felt familiar to her, and a long time ago, she sat on her mother's lap and looked up at the stars.

At that time, there was singing in my ears.

Could this be the source of her inexplicable question?

She turned her head again and looked at Pei Yuansheng.

I don't know when, he also looked up at the starry sky, leaving her with a side face with excessively elegant lines, such a delicate and beautiful silhouette, people can't find a trace of fault, beautiful and a little impersonal.

The most unavertable thing is the smile on his lips, the upward angle, as if he is kissing the starlight gently.

"Can you sing?" she asked again.

Pei Yuansheng glanced at her and said, "What do you want to hear?" Is it a nursery rhyme you heard when you were a child?"

Tang Xiao was shocked, why did he know everything?

Over-cleverness is always frightening, and they often have sharp thorns that can accurately hit the softest corners of a person's heart.

But the light in his eyes was bright and warm, with infinite tolerance.

This tolerance neutralizes the sharpness and becomes the most extravagant and timely form of sympathy.

Most of the time, Tang Xiao hates to be sympathized with and doesn't want to be a sympathetic person, but now, she sincerely thanks Pei Yuansheng for his sympathy.

Because of his sympathy, her eccentricity seemed less awkward.

From a woman's point of view, Pei Yuansheng is undoubtedly a smart and charming man, only occasionally intimidating.

"I'm not sure if it's a nursery rhyme. Tang Xiao turned his gaze, lowered his head and thought about it, "Just remember one sentence ......"

"What is it?" Pei Yuansheng asked patiently.

Tang Xiao hummed softly: "starrystarrynight......"

As I was thinking about the lyrics that followed, I suddenly heard a magnetic and gentle voice ringing in my ears.

Starrystarrynight, Paintyourpaletteblueandgrey

Lookoutonasummer'sday, Witheyesthatknowthedarknessinmysoul

Shadowsonthehills, Sketchthetreesanddaffodils (The shadows on the hills bring out the outlines of the trees and daffodils)

Catchthebreezeandthewinterchills, Incolorsonthesnowylinenland (Catch the breeze and winter chill with snow-mottled colors) ......"

Tang Xiao's eyes widened in surprise, completely unexpectedly that the familiar tune he had thought he would never hear again for so many years would so naturally overflow from that person's lips.

He sang this, tilting his head slightly, and cast a smiling glance at her. The gaze was like a small piece of bright moonlight, softly pouring into the heart of a lake.

Tang Xiao's slender eyelashes trembled, as if the gaze had an unbearable weight, and she lowered her eyelashes.

NowIunderstandwhatyoutrytosaytome

Howyousufferedforyoursanity

Andhowyoutriedtosetthemfree

Theywouldnotlisten,Theydidnotknowhow…… (They ignore them, they don't know how to deal with it)"

Tang Xiao was in a trance for a while, not knowing if she was her current self, or if she was the carefree person she was in her childhood and relied on her mother for everything.

But no matter how time changes and how impermanent the world is, this piece of starlight is still the same. They spread out in the distant vault, as if waiting for her, calling to her.

Perhapsthey'lllistennow (maybe now they'll know)

Starrystarrynight, Flamingflowersthatbrightlyblaze

ButIcouldhavetoldyouVincent (but I wish I had ever told you Vincent)

Thisworldwasnevermeantforoneas\/beautifulasyou…… (The world has never been as good as you)"

At the end of this song, the two fell silent.

Tang Xiao didn't understand the meaning of the lyrics when he was a child, he only knew that it was a very quiet song, and he often fell asleep in his mother's singing at that time, and subconsciously regarded it as a lullaby. Later, when her mother left, she never had the opportunity to hear such a song again, and naturally it was impossible to find out what kind of song it was and what the lyrics were about.

It wasn't until Pei Yuansheng sang this song that she was familiar and unfamiliar with that she understood the meaning of the lyrics.

I didn't expect it to be so sad. So what kind of mood did her mother sing to her back then?

At this moment, several crisp clapping applause sounded from behind him.

Looking back, Tang Xiao was surprised to see two familiar figures-Xie Linlang and Xie Linglong, how could they be here?

"I didn't expect Pei Gongzi not only to do well in business, but also to sing so well. Xie Linlang coiled her long dark brown hair and wore a Hepburn-style light chestnut dress skirt, and at this time walked towards the two of them, and praised sincerely.

Her half-sister Xie Linglong wore a milky white embroidered dress, with a colorful tassel shawl draped over her shoulders, and the huge diamond ornaments in her ears were as dazzling as stars, looking infinitely charming. However, compared to Xie Linlang's radiant spirit, she stood aside with a little lack of interest.

Miss Xie praised it falsely. Pei Yuansheng was still sitting on the rattan chair, and he didn't mean to stand up and talk to the two.

Tang Xiao saw the two sisters of the Xie family, and thought of the last time the two came to the family, Xie Linlang expressed the imperative to Cheng Lie in person, and couldn't help frowning slightly.

I didn't see these two in the banquet hall just now, and now they appear so coincidentally, what is the reason?

Tang Xiao originally had a good impression of the Xie sisters, purely from a female point of view, both of them are very successful in their careers and have very independent personalities, but perhaps because of this, both of them have a strong aggressiveness, and they seem to be ready to snatch something from others at any time.

Tang smiled and got up and said, "Miss Xie, Miss Xie, what a coincidence." ”

Xie Linlang hooked her lips painted red, and looked at Tang Xiao's eyes meaningfully: "What a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet Miss Tang and Pei Gongzi here, tonight's night is beautiful, right?"

Tang smiled and said, "It's not bad. ”

Xie Linlang walked in front of Tang Xiao, she was originally tall, and she wore seven-centimeter high heels tonight, which was even more impressive: "Miss Tang, did Cheng Da Shao come with you?"

Tang Xiao knew that Xie Linlang's ultimate goal was still Cheng Lie, and said lightly: "He has been busy with work recently, and for such a social, it is enough for me to come with my mother." ”

Xie Linlang glanced at Pei Yuansheng ambiguously and said, "Miss Tang and Pei Gongzi seem to have a good personal relationship. ”

Tang Xiao looked directly into Xie Linglong's eyes: "It has nothing to do with Miss Xie." ”

Xie Linlang laughed, as if bored, and didn't speak again. At this time, Xie Linglong, who was standing next to her, spoke: "Miss Tang, is Cheng Feng okay lately?"

Tang Xiao was slightly stunned and replied, "He's all right." ”

Xie Linglong nodded and said to Xie Linlang: "Let's go, since people don't welcome it, why bother with other people's Yaxing." ”

Xie Linlang smiled: "It's okay." Looking at the appearance of our old acquaintances, I really want to blow the two of us down. ”

Tang Xiao was inexplicable. I thought to myself that this old acquaintance was referring to myself, but his attitude was not very unfriendly, and he would answer all questions, and he would not want to drive them away.

was puzzled, and heard Pei Yuansheng's lazy voice: "Go slowly, don't send it." ”

Xie Linlang sneered, looked at Pei Yuansheng without saying anything, and finally left with Xie Linglong without saying anything.

Tang Xiao sat down on the rattan chair opposite Pei Yuansheng, endured and endured but still couldn't help but say, "What do they want to do?"

Pei Yuansheng still looked lazy: "Don't care." They're just too idle. ”

"Did you know them before?" Tang Xiao asked.

Pei Yuansheng said: "Of course, Chengbei's circle is so small. ”

"No wonder ......"

"What's the wonder?"

"No wonder she said you were an 'old acquaintance'. Tang Xiao thought to himself, when ordinary people see such two beauties, it will never be Pei Yuansheng's unreasonable attitude, it seems that they are indeed old acquaintances as Xie Linlang said.

However, what kind of relationship do they have?

"Xiaoxiao, do you want to know why I have such a casual attitude towards them?" Pei Yuansheng was really able to read through people's hearts at any time, and before she could find a way to ask, he started the topic by himself.

"Well," Tang Xiao nodded, propped his hand on the small round table in front of him, and looked at Pei Yuansheng curiously, "You don't think I'm too gossipy, right?"

"No, it won't. Pei Yuansheng held his chin with his hand, his dark jade-like eyes were black and bright, and he had the power to reach people's hearts: "The two sisters of the Xie family are very similar, they are both very aggressive women, Xie Linglong was like a tomboy when she was a child, or she had a self-cognitive disorder, and she thought of herself as a boy for a while. Xie Linlang is different, she does whatever she wants, she has been a very fierce girl since she was a child, this fierceness is not in the appearance, but in the heart. Like a wild beast, it is inevitable to get the prey that you have set your sights on. Xiaoxiao, if she likes Liezi, then you have to be careful. ”
