Chapter 41: The Restlessness of Adolescence

Zhan Xingchuan stood against the wall, clasped his hands on his chest, looking at Yu Youwei, who was happy but suppressing the excitement in his heart, and a smile slowly appeared on his lips.

How long had it been since he had smiled like this? He really didn't remember.

The bigger the house, the more deserted it looks.

He doesn't know how other families live, it is said that there are also three generations in the same house, several people live together, although there will be friction, but it is also a lively family. Unlike his home, where his parents always play their own games, and he finally stumbles into an adult, so no one pays attention to his love from then on.

Several times, Zhan Xingchuan saw Yu Youwei returning home with her schoolbag on Friday night, talking and laughing with Yu Simei, and the faces of the mother and daughter were full of happy smiles.

That kind of ordinary happiness is beyond his reach.

"I ...... I can ......."

His musings were interrupted by the girl's hesitant voice, and Zhan Xingchuan raised his head with a smile and looked at Yu Youwei.

She bit her lower lip slightly, looking into his eyes with a look of yearning and reserve, because of excitement, her cheeks also looked red and moist, and that beautiful and delicious appearance once again aroused the throbbing in Zhan Xingchuan's heart.

"It would be nice if you could play a tune for me. ”

He preemptively said.

Yu Youwei looked at Zhan Xingchuan, her lips moved, and finally she didn't say anything.

She knew that he said this on purpose, in order to avoid embarrassing her, and didn't want her to feel embarrassed or even have an inferiority complex.

Therefore, she did not refuse his kindness.

Yu Youwei sat down, took a deep breath, stretched out two hands, opened the slightly heavy lid, and then, she steadied herself, ten slender fingers as green onions, jumping and dancing on the black and white keys, as if performing a smart fingertip dance.

A string of beautiful and smooth notes flowed from between her fingers, like a heavenly sound, like an elf.

At the end of the song, Yu Youwei hung her head a little nervously and whispered: "This "To Alice" is one of the songs that beginners must learn, in fact, my level is really limited, and I really can't be ugly in front of people casually in the future......"

She sighed from the bottom of her heart, after all, over the years, her time and opportunities to practice have been quite limited, and no matter how difficult the song is, even if she can play it, because she can't practice it often, she is bound to stumble and become unskilled.

Zhan Xingchuan stretched out his hand and applauded her gently, and then, he walked over to the piano and stood still.

"I know, you're going to come back here every week. If you want, you can practice here on weekends. Next to the study, I also have to read books occasionally, let's be a companion, listening to you play the piano here, I also think it's a little interesting......"

He worded his words carefully, for fear of touching her pride.

Yu Youwei, who had never wanted to cause trouble, shook her head almost instinctively, but when she caught a glimpse of the 88 black and white keys that fascinated her, she faltered again.

"I ...... I'm afraid of being seen and will say my mom ......"

She thought about it, but said honestly.

For so many years, the mother and daughter have depended on each other, and she must think about her mother who is a maid in the Zhan family, and she can't do anything to embarrass her mother.

In particular, Mrs. Zhan is not a very good employer, even Yu Youwei, who only comes back once a week, has heard that Wang Jingshu has muttered a few times behind her back, saying that she doesn't understand why Zhan Liyang wants to leave such a beautiful maid, although she is not young, but her face is still very attractive, and she is not afraid of hooking the rest of the family without her soul.

Every time she heard her say these words, Yu Youwei wanted to rush forward and get justice for her mother, but Yu Simei stopped her and didn't allow her to do so.

"I'm here to do things, as long as I do my job, I can get a salary and support our mother and son. As for the rest, as long as I sit upright, no one will be suspicious after a long time. Weiwei, you have to study hard and get admitted to a good school, so that your fate can change......"

Yu Simei took her daughter's hand and wept silently.

Therefore, when she thought of Wang Jingshu's face, Yu Youwei was still ruthless, and shook her head to refuse Zhan Xingchuan's kindness.

He knew that he couldn't force her, so he sent her downstairs and said nothing more.

Two weeks later, it happened to be another Saturday, Zhan Liyang and his wife were still not at home, and every weekend was their busiest time, busy socializing, attending endless drinking parties and pies, each time they came back in a hurry, took a shower and changed clothes, and then left in a hurry again.

Zhan Xingchuan once again invited Yu Youwei upstairs to play the piano, she struggled in her heart, but she couldn't control that desire, she couldn't control her legs, and went to the piano room with him.

Since then, on weekends, she will go upstairs to practice, and almost every time, Zhan Xingchuan will make time to accompany her, sometimes surfing the Internet, sometimes reading books. Yu Youwei was worried that someone else would find out, so he just smiled and told her that she didn't have to worry.

"The soundproofing of the room is not bad, and besides, I bought a few CDs of piano music, and I will say that I am listening to the music, and no one will ask. As long as you don't say it, I don't say it, no one knows. ”

With that, he playfully squeezed his eyes at her and made a gesture to silence her.

Yu Youwei was slightly stunned, she had never thought that this eldest young master, who was high up in the eyes of outsiders, would have such a cute and naughty side, which made her think that the distance between them was slowly shrinking, and they almost became friends.

However, in the dead of night, she curled up under the quilt and could not help but remind herself over and over again that it was impossible.

However, she may be able to control her heart, but she can't control Zhan Xingchuan's emotions.

Even Yu Youwei noticed that he seemed to be in love with her, but he hadn't expressed it yet.

She was afraid, he was even more afraid, afraid of scaring her.

Zhan Xingchuan silently endured, what he thought was to wait for her to be admitted to college first. Otherwise, he would feel guilty for delaying her studies.

At home, the only person who knows about this is Kong Miaomiao. She and Yu Youwei are the same age, they also live in the Zhan family, and they have been friends with Zhan Xingchuan since childhood, so Zhan Xingchuan did not deliberately hide it from her, but just asked her to help keep it secret.

So, Yu Youwei has more reason to run upstairs from time to time, because she has also indirectly become Kong Miaomiao's friend, and the two girls always like to get together. Even Yu Simei couldn't say anything, she even thought that her daughter went upstairs just to do homework with Miss Kong, chat, and be each other's company.

Kong Miaomiao became the matchmaker of two people, as long as she saw Yu Youwei walk in, she would pick up her things with a wicked smile on her face, run next door to read a book, and leave the space for her and Zhan Xingchuan to let the two of them chat privately.

This state continued until before Yu Youwei's college entrance examination, when Yu Simei was diagnosed with cancer. After she went to seek Zhan Liyang and was discovered by Wang Jingshu, Yu Youwei desperately avoided Zhan Xingchuan, let alone go upstairs, even when she occasionally encountered it downstairs, she lowered her head and hurriedly walked over.

And then, it was that rainy night that no one wanted to think about......

Regarding this paragraph, Zhan Xingchuan did not tell anyone else.

That was his secret, in the few months he spent with Yu Youwei, he seemed to be back in the summer of seventeen, and his life seemed to be full of the restless taste of adolescent hormones, simple, beautiful, and unadulterated.

Now, he doesn't plan to sue Diao Ranran, it's not that he doesn't trust her, but he doesn't want to look back on the past casually.

As people get older, they resist memories, especially those that are easily heart-wrenching.

Zhan Xingchuan's mind had been haunted by these messy things, so much so that Diao Ranran called him several times, but he was expressionless, as if he hadn't heard it at all.

Until she reached out and waved it a few times in front of his eyes.

"Huh, I ...... It's a little tired. ”

He had to say this to hide his embarrassment.

Diao Ranran breathed a sigh of relief, stared at him worriedly, and sighed: "It's okay to be tired, Mom and Dad are worried that you are entangled in something unclean, saying that you have fallen into evil." I called you several times just now, but you didn't respond, it scared me to death, and I even thought you had lost your soul......"

Zhan Xingchuan laughed out loud, grabbed her hand, rubbed it a few times, and said with a smile: "What era is it, and you still engage in those feudal superstitions." She didn't say anything to you, did she? I'm afraid that she thinks that we went to sweep the grave to guide you, and she wants to show you a face. If that's the case, I'll tell them to get out of here at once. Remember, you're the only hostess here. ”

The words were so bad that he couldn't cry or laugh, but he was also a little moved. After all, her husband was always on her side, even though his words and actions seemed a little ...... The six relatives did not recognize it.

"Mom didn't say anything about me, because the feng shui gentleman said that there was a ...... in the piano room Moreover, what he said sounded quite mysterious, and besides, the compass in his hand really kept ringing...... Xingchuan, guess what's going on? Will you still be like you are today, and you won't wake up when you fall asleep?"

She squeezed his hand tightly and shook it twice vigorously. Now that she is pregnant, she desperately needs her husband's company, and she definitely doesn't want his body to have problems.

"Don't worry," Zhan Xingchuan leaned over his upper body, kissed her forehead lightly, and said softly: "I won't let myself have trouble, I still have to take care of you and our baby...... You've also worked hard all day, hurry up and go to bed, otherwise how can the baby grow up quickly?"

After speaking, he reached out and gently stroked Diao Ranran's lower abdomen a few times.

Zhan Xingchuan was right, once Diao Ranran's hanging heart was put down, her spirit relaxed, and the whole person was suddenly tired, she simply washed up, and immediately fell asleep beside him.
