It was another thunderstorm, a little gloomy evening, I received a call from Qiao Ye, he said that Qin Miao had been discharged from the hospital, and asked me to book a table for him at the "Wutong Hotel", he said that Qin Miao liked to eat tofu brain there.

After counting the number of musical instruments with the logistics company in charge of transporting the goods, I hurried back to Tulip Road, then booked a table outside the "Wutong Hotel", and specially told the proprietress to leave us a few bowls of tofu brain, and then went to the piano store.

Xiao Ai has been overworking lately, so I hope she can relax properly today. These days, every time I see her cocoons from excessive contact with musical instruments, my heart is very uncomfortable. However, I also know that she is not just working, but venting some kind of love in her work, she seems to be less smiling, and has been teaching Xiaofang the musical instrument skills she has learned over the years in the most severe way. At least, I don't know if Xiaofang can digest it quickly.

Standing outside the window of the piano shop, I peeked inside, Xiao Ai kept frowning and standing behind Xiao Fang, until Xiao Fang played a rhythm that satisfied her, her brows gradually relaxed, but she didn't give Xiao Fang a moment to rest, and lowered her body to say some essentials in Xiao Fang's ear, and then asked Xiao Fang to play again......

I gently pushed open the door and walked in, and after coming to her side, I whispered in her ear: "Let's practice here today, and go to the Wutong Restaurant with me for dinner later, Qin Miao She was discharged from the hospital, saying that she wanted to come here to eat tofu brain." ”

Xiao Ai refused without thinking about it: "Don't go!" The Xinghai Cup is less than a week away, and after the Xinghai Cup, there will be no particularly valuable piano competition this year, so I have to race against time at this time! ”

I tried to find a breakthrough in Xiaofang's body again, so I said to her, "Xiaofang, do you want to go out and eat smoothies?" ”

Xiao Fang shook her head.

I thought she was afraid of Xiao Ai, so I increased the stakes of temptation, and said, "After eating the smoothie, let's go to the barbecue restaurant next to the Wutong Hotel to have a skewer, okay?" ……”

Before I finished speaking, Xiao Ai interrupted impatiently: "Do you think everyone likes to masturbate as much as you?" …… You hurry up and go away, okay? Make a mess of me! ”

Xiao Fang also glanced at me and said, "You go away quickly, I'm going to practice......"

I smiled wryly, Xiao Ai was annoyed with me, and pushed me out of the piano shop again, I stumbled over and over again, muttering dissatisfiedly: "A sadist, a masochist...... If you have the ability, you will spend the night here, and I will go and get you both a bed now, so that you can be satisfied. ”

My chatter annoyed Xiao Ai even more, and when I asked her in her ear if she had come to her aunt to be so irritable, she was so irritable that she kicked me out of the door, and then slammed the classroom door shut, and no matter what I said outside, she didn't care.

I wasn't angry, I just felt more sorry for her...... Because, I have personally witnessed what kind of life she lived a year ago, and what kind of life she is living now. I often have the illusion that I have met two completely different people, but they are just Xiao Ai!

……

Holding an umbrella and coming to the "Wutong Hotel" alone, there were several cars parked at the door, including the Wrangler of Jinqiu, Qiao Ye's A6, and Chen Yi's A4, they were sitting around a round table, hanging under the eaves that would flow the lanterns flickering against their expressions, as if every time they blinked, they would miss their mood at a certain moment, only the rain was uninterrupted, although it made people feel upset, but it also brought a little coolness in this hot summer......

I want to drink beer and I want to eat lobster.

I sat down next to Jin Qiu, Chen Yi was opposite me, her right hand was Qin Miao in a sweater, she still looked very weak, the bowl of tofu brain she wanted to eat, just ate a spoonful, Qiao Ye went to pour her a glass of boiled water.

Time has changed the relationship between people in this way, in addition to Qiao Ye has changed, Chen Yi and I have also changed...... We didn't speak, let alone say hello, just glanced at each other in the flickering lights.

I snapped my fingers, asked the waiter to bring a menu, handed it to Jin Qiu beside me, and then asked the waiter: "The lobster here is still the same as before, and it sells at the current price, right?" ”

"Well, it's the peak season for lobster, and we sell 180 a plate, about 30."

"It's expensive! It wasn't so expensive before, it was only 90 a plate last summer. ”

The waiter smiled and replied, "Last year's prices weren't as expensive as this year." Also, this year, our chef has also changed, a gold medal chef from Xuyi (a county famous for lobsters), and the lobsters are also good goods in Hongze Lake, clean and hygienic. You see, many people have ordered lobster, and the taste is very good! ”

I'm a little tired of everything changing in this world, but the mood of wanting to eat lobster and drink beer is still there, and then I said to the waiter very generously: "Thirteen spices and garlic paste will give us two portions each...... and then said to everyone: "Today I have a treat, everyone eats happily, especially Qin Miao, you can order whatever you want to eat...... I'm definitely not going to pick the door tonight, reassuring the napkin. ”

Except for Qin Miao, everyone else smiled, and then Jin Qiu said to me, "I'm afraid I can't eat this meal for 1,000 yuan...... You and Xiao Ai are earning hard-earned money now, I advise you not to be so extravagant. For such a thing as inviting guests to dinner, let the person who is not short of money among the few of us come. ”

Speaking of Xiao Ai, I suddenly became stingy, and immediately pulled the menu from Jin Qiu's hand, and then threw it in front of Qiao Ye, saying "You come". Everyone despised me because of this, but Qin Miao never had any affection, she just pulled the collar of the sweater she was wearing to her chin very insecurely, and no one knew what she was thinking in her heart at the moment.

……

Beer lobster and all kinds of dishes were placed on the table in front of us, in order to let Qin Miao integrate into us, even Chen Yi, who doesn't drink often, drank a lot, and the atmosphere on the table has always been very good under our deliberate creation. None of us talked about the child, but Qin Miao still only had a few words to us. She only asked me if the house was going to be demolished, and she didn't say anything more.

After the two of them asked the waiter for a bigger cup, they shouted in their mouths, and then drank a large cup after a few sips. The two of them, who were still not satisfied, stood up again, and said something that was not very good......

I know that the reason why Qiao Ye did this was to hope that Qin Miao would still manage him like before, making him feel that the former Qin Miao had not gone far, but Qin Miao was indulged in his love and couldn't get out at all, and the saddest thing about this night was nothing more than this.

Halfway through the meal, the table was already full of empty wine bottles and red lobster shells, just like our wanton youth, which can be a mess or hearty......

I don't know when, another Jeep freelancer parked on the side of the road, and it was Yuan Zhen who got out of the car, he was so proud and withdrawn, but he hurriedly ran to the co-pilot's side, and then opened the co-pilot's door and held up an umbrella for the people inside.

I couldn't help but feel curious, leaned over to look at him, but after seeing the person clearly, my heart beat faster, because the person who walked towards me with an umbrella was Xiao Ai's mother Ruan Su.

Sensing the arrival of the two, Jin Qiu, Chen Yi and the others also stopped their chopsticks and watched. I subconsciously stood up from the chair, and then said to Ruan Su who was standing in front of me, "Auntie, why are you here?" ”

Ruan Su looked at the messy table before replying, "I'll come to see Ruyi (Xiao Ai), and I'll take a look at you by the way." ”

I felt embarrassed inexplicably, and after being stunned for a while, I said, "Auntie, have you eaten, add a pair of chopsticks to you and Yuan Zhen." ”

Yuan Zhen shook his head and said to me, "No need, I'm just in charge of sending the teacher over, there is still something on the band's side, so I'll leave immediately." ”

Ruan Su said to me again: "Ruyi, why didn't I stay with you?" ”

"She's still in the piano shop."

"Take me to see it."

I hurriedly put down the chopsticks in my hand and nodded, and Ruan Su had already walked to the sidewalk before me and waited, she didn't seem to like the qiē in front of her.

……

The rain was still dripping, Ruan Su and I walked side by side towards the qin, some old roads would have water from time to time, and the humid wind swept the smell of oil smoke from the roadside stalls in the distance little by little, but the whole street was still so depressed, so depressed that it seemed that everyone who was busy was hard and lonely.

After walking for nearly ten minutes, Ruan Su and I finally arrived at the piano shop, and when I was about to go up the stairs, she stopped and looked up at the neon sign under the umbrella.

I whispered to her, "Auntie, this is our piano shop, Xiao Ai will still teach students on the second floor." ”

Ruan Su nodded, and then walked down the corridor to the second floor, I followed her all the time, but she stopped at the window of the classroom.

She looked inside, and I followed hers......

At this time, Xiao Ai and Xiao Fang were facing away from us, they were eating instant noodles with their heads down, and Xiao Ai did not let Xiao Fang be idle for a moment, even when eating noodles, they were also talking in Xiao Fang's ear about the main points of their competition when playing.

Xiao Fang nodded if she could understand, and was silent if she couldn't, and Xiao Ai would tell her again in another way...... At this moment, I seem to be in her back, and I can see the exhaustion!

At this time, Ruan Su finally opened her mouth, she frowned and said to me, "That's how you take care of my daughter?" ”

My heart trembled, but I didn't know how to explain it to her because I was nervous...... Actually, explanations are useless, because sometimes people prefer to believe their own eyes rather than those pale words.

Seeing that I was silent, Ruan Su said to me again: "When Ruyi finishes teaching that child, you ask her to find me in room 806 of the Viking Hotel." ”

After saying this, Ruan Su turned around and left, I wanted to say something to her again, but I could smell my mouth full of wine, so what else could I say?

……

After Ruan Su left, I opened the door of the piano shop and stood in front of Xiao Ai again, looking at her with a bitter face...... She looked at me irritably, then drank the remaining hot soup from the instant noodles in one gulp and asked, "Why are you here again?" ”

I was speechless for a long time before I replied, "Your mother is here......"

"What nonsense, why didn't she call me?" Xiao Ai said as she took out her mobile phone from her pocket, and her expression suddenly changed, presumably there must have been many missed calls on the mobile phone that she had muted.

Xiao Ai hurriedly got up, then looked left and right for a while, and asked, "Where is my mother?" ”

"She left, saying that she asked you to find her in room 806 of the Viking Hotel, so you should go quickly...... She seems to be a little affectionate. ”

Xiao Ai is a woman with high emotional intelligence, she looked down at the instant noodle box she had eaten, and then looked at me full of alcohol, and immediately understood, she complained and said to me: "You shouldn't be talking like a river...... You're the dumbest when it's time to speak...... You hurry up and come with me. ”

Xiao Ai said, and asked Xiao Fang to pick her up obediently at the piano shop, and then took my hand and ran towards the entrance of the building, this eagerness made me understand that Ruan Su is the person she cares about very much in this world, so she hopes that I can have a good impression in Ruan Su's heart.

But something backfired!
