Chapter 4: The Group
"Then, tonight, the manuscript of this plan of action will be its farewell performance. With that, Xiaolan continued to write the plan.
The crisp sound of the keyboard sounded again.
Mo Yuan leaned back, leaned back in the chair, tilted his head slightly, and closed his eyes.
Gradually, the brisk rhythm of the music rippled from Xiaolan's fingertips and diffused in the air of the study.
He didn't need to, he cared too much, Mo Yuan could already hear the content of Xiao Lan's keyboard every time, as if Xiao Lan was playing in front of his eyes.
"Is that kind of training boring?" Xiaolan asked softly.
"Well, especially for a child. Mo Yuan responded calmly and naturally, and as soon as the words fell, he noticed that Xiaolan did not "speak", it was just that she "asked" by tapping on the keyboard.
"Can you really hear the difference in the sound of each keyboard?"
"It's getting clearer...... Especially when I close my eyes, I seem to be able to see your fingers......" Mo Yuan closed his eyes, as if he was talking in a dream.
"Why go to the academy?"
"Find someone. ”
"Is that your goal?"
"I thought so. ”
"Enemies?"
"Nope. ”
"Benefactor?"
"Nope. ”
"It can't be relatives, parents, like the boring novels I read...... The story of thousands of miles to find relatives......" Xiaolan pretended to tap her fingertips steadily, but it was difficult to hide her curiosity, and there was a little mockery.
"Isn't it better to be free without parents......? I'm not going to go to that disciplined academy just to find my parents or something. ”
"What kind of person is that?" The sound of the keyboard could not wait to reach Mo Yuan's ears with the rhythm of his fingertips.
"Actually...... As long as you know that I am for that goal, it is enough for the deputy team leader to stop embarrassing me. ”
"It's the deputy leader of the 'future' that has not yet been determined...... Well, from the very beginning, I felt that you were a goal-oriented person...... But now, I feel that you seem to be a little ......."
"Confused?"
"Well, confused - how can you say that your current behavior, how to say, has done a lot of unnecessary things, some of which are too gentle...... Although, for me...... Maybe my expression wasn't accurate enough......"
"I think I understand what you mean, probably because, gradually I am discovering that the road seems to be very long, and there is no end. ”
"Did the momentum of my youth dissipate like that?"
"No, it's just that I'm a little tired, I want to walk slower, but, still, towards the goal. ”
"Perhaps, if you continue like that, you'll end up making your goal a mirror. Xiao Lan thought to herself, hesitated for a moment, but the keyboard voice said, "It should be okay to take a break." ”
"Well, if it's a dream, I'm a little reluctant to wake up. ”
"Yes, that's it, two people, a study, a quiet midnight, talking together...... As partners, we rarely seem to talk about ourselves......"
"Oh, obviously, it's just me talking to myself. ”
"Obviously, and my accompaniment. ”
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The college's usual freshman party.
A group formed on an impromptu basis for the drawing of lots.
"Xiaolan, she is good at various musical instruments, please advise. His eyes were full of confidence, mixed with a little disdain and helplessness.
"Mo Yuan, I can probably sing. "Listless eyes with dark circles.
"Then, you sing, I'll accompani, it should be a good sketch. She suggested.
"Try it......" he responded.
-
After......
"I think our understanding of the definition of 'singing' is a bit skewed. She was a little angry.
"Sure enough, it still doesn't work. He didn't seem to care.
"Poetry recital, I'll accompani, you speak, you always speak, right?" she suggested again.
"Try ......," he replied again.
-
After......
"It was decided that it would be a poetry recitation. ”
"Okay. ”
-
The lights of the stage came on again, and the applause from the audience came and went.
"Why did you modify the content of our recitation during the previous rehearsal without authorization?" she said angrily, buried behind the piano, "If I hadn't adjusted the accompaniment to your content in time, according to the original accompaniment, it would not be ...... with your current recitation."
"You said you were good at all kinds of musical instruments...... I thought, that shouldn't be a problem", standing in front of the stage, he argued with reason, and didn't want to give in, but after all, he was a little apologetic, "I really don't want to recite those pedantic content, so I changed my mind on the spot......"
"We're a group, a team, how can you change the plan we made together?" ”
"Huh, why are you suddenly quieter?"
-
Up and down the noisy stage, no one knew what they were talking about.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Your accompaniment is really good. Mo Yuan said with a smile, a pleasant look appeared on his face.
"Oh, it turns out that you remember. ”
"How could you forget?" Mo Yuan sighed, pausing slightly, "Do you remember the plan to gain 'freedom' that I mentioned to you back in the academy?"
"Remember, you said that after we've both achieved our goals, we'll get out of here. ”
"Well, maybe, even if we're out of here now, we'll still be able to achieve our goals in the future. ”
"Are you saying that we're going to find a way to get out of here before we reach our goal?"
"Well, that's ...... thought"
"Heh, how can there be such a good thing?"
……
For a long time, Mo Yuan was still silent and did not respond, Xu Yes, fell asleep.
Xiaolan adjusted the room temperature in the study, "I actually fell asleep, it seems that I am really tired." With that in mind, she quickly deleted what she had entered and continued to write a course of action.
……
Time, just at Xiaolan's briskly flying fingertips, inadvertently slipped away.
The moonlight, which had been in the bedroom, gradually spread into the study.
The night is deeper.
