122. Chapter 122: My Girl
This piano is made in Steinway, Germany, and the whole piano is made of first-class mahogany, with exquisite carving and respectful keys.
Xia Tong's right hand stroked it, and several crisp sounds popped out of the keyboard.
She doesn't know if she is very good at vocal music, the last time on the streets of the United States, she played the guitar a few times with her bare hands, and sang a tune, and now facing this piano, she has the urge to play again.
In fact, Xia Tong was really a talented woman in the past, who knew everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs.
Xia Tong's mother is a child of Jiangnan, who is graceful and dignified, and Xia Tong's father also thinks that her daughter is made of water, and she has poetry and books in her belly. Dad invited many famous teachers for her, Xia Tong is very smart and eager to learn.
It was an innocent era, she wore a long dress, waist-length hair, and two books in her arms, cold like a fairy who does not eat fireworks in the world.
Most of the children raised in this way are shy and reserved, but their inner desire for love is stronger and hotter than ordinary people.
Xia Tong sat on the chair, put her hands on the piano keys, she didn't know what she wanted to play, but her fingertips pressed it, and a song poured out like flowing water.
At this time, outside the villa, Lin Zeshao stopped in front of the door with a Land Rover.
He went to the jewelry store and Xia Tong's mother to look for her, both places were not there, she must be in the villa. He asked her to wait for him at night, was she as excited as he was?
Even though there was a cell phone to contact, the transmission of that voice was too thin, and he wanted to see her.
There were nine bright red roses in the passenger seat, and he took them out. Last time he sent flowers to wither, this time he might really... Get down on one knee and talk sweetly.
The romance of men and women in love, what they missed, he wants to get back one by one.
When he opened the door of the villa, he heard the melodious sound of the piano. This is a four-hand joint play of "Xianglun Light Rain", and the tune is cheerful and bright.
At that time, she was a sophomore in high school, and she wanted to represent the school in the show, so she chose the piano.
She was struggling with what to play that day, and he said, "Everybody chooses Chopin and Beethoven, so you can be creative and choose a cheerful piece that is familiar to the public and resonates." “
She asked, "Which one?" ”
He said, "Isn't there a four-handed song "Xianglun Light Rain" that has become popular on the streets and alleys recently, and now it is often heard at weddings. ”
"But that's two people," she said. ”
At that time, he was full of smiles, "Don't you know, in fact, I can also play the piano." ”
His meaning is obvious, he wants to play a song about love with her.
He was delayed for something else that day, and when he arrived at the scene, he stood on the highest step and watched her and other boys play the song "Xianglun Light Rain".
He watched their hands touch and then looked at each other and smiled.
And he stood dumbfounded, a complete fool.
After that, he sulked for a week, and she could have rejected him and given him no hope, but making wedding clothes for others was not allowed in his proud world.
Later, I inquired and found out that the boy's name was Liu Jingqi, a transfer student who had just arrived.
At that time, he didn't take Liu Jingqi to heart, because Xia Tong was not only cold to him, she was indifferent to all boys, and Liu Jingqi, who only had one side, what qualifications and charm did she have to enter her heart.
A week later, when he went to look for her, he saw her and Liu Jingqi sitting on the lawn of the campus chatting and laughing, which was the first time he saw her smiling like that, bright and gentle.
Later, he realized that Liu Jingqi had entered her and his world with an unstoppable attitude.
Lin Zeshao's big palm hanging down at his side pinched tightly, loosened, and pinched again... He repeated this several times before he drove away the haze in his ink eyes, relaxed his tense limbs, and pulled a warm smile at the corner of his mouth.
He walked up the stairs to the door of the attic room.
He didn't go in, but leaned sideways to look at her through the half-hidden crack in the door.
Her white fingertips kept dancing on the black and white keys, she closed her eyes and immersed herself in the world of music, her pure and beautiful facial features were soft and moving.
But the sound of the piano was discordant at that moment, leaking, disordered, and he saw her tightly twisting her eyebrows, very... Dysphoria.
Yes, irritated.
Regardless of Xia Tong, who was cold before, or Xia Tong, who is now confused, the word irritability really appeared on her for the first time.
The sound of the piano stopped abruptly, he saw her eyes down, shaking her little head a few times in pain, and when he was about to enter, her right hand caressed the right key, with a look... Look blank.
The place that should have been with her four hands was empty, she looked at it in confusion, closed her eyes slightly, and shed two lines of crystal tears.
The man's pupils contracted, and his heart seemed to be pinched by a big palm, and he couldn't breathe.
He didn't understand how much of a person's sense of existence had to be in order to make her flow out of her bones in another person's simple and confused personality, in a happy and simple life.
The man closed his eyes, and the woman had already driven away the inexplicable mood and continued to play.
The sound of the piano in the dust, the moon is bright. The sound of the piano is like a complaint, all the best times, the most brilliant wind and frost, and the first appearance...
But he lost interest in listening, turned around, and walked down the stairs step by step, out of the door.
As the car turned out of the villa gate, he threw the roses into the trash.
……
Xia Tong came out of the attic, she quietly visited a few rooms, and then walked into his study.
The study room is mainly in black and white, with a simple and atmospheric decoration. The rosewood bookcase is neatly placed with all kinds of books, and the desk is neat and tidy.
She sat on the office chair he often sat on, her little hands touched the back of the chair, the pen, and the text jiàn clip, imagining the marks and temperature left on his big palm covered with thin calluses, and the irritability and sadness in her heart just now were filled, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a gorgeous arc.
She opened his office drawer, and in the last drawer was a book on economics, which looked like it was old.
She held it in her hand and flipped through it casually, and suddenly, a photo popped into front of her.
In the photo is a girl, it must have been windy that day, and he was in a hurry to take pictures, the girl had a sideways face, and some green silk was flying wildly.
She turned the photo upside down, and a row of English through the back of the paper, "mygirl, mylove".
……
Xia Tong experimented with countless cakes in the kitchen, but they all failed. Looking up, it was close to dusk outside, and she took out her mobile phone to call Lin Zeshao.
After two "beeps", his low voice came from there, "Hey..."
"Hey..."The woman bent two willow eyebrows, "Ze Shao, you... Where are you now? ”
She actually wanted to ask him when he would come back, but remembering that day he said he would wait for him at night, so she urged him now, and she felt a little hungry, she would... Shy.
The man's voice was gentle, "I'm still busy in the company now, and I'll go back later." If you're hungry and sleepy, don't wait for me. ”
"Oh." The woman was a little frustrated, and a little cautious.
He asked her out tonight, and it was the Qixi Festival, but he didn't seem to have any special meaning.
Today is his birthday, but he is still busy with work, he doesn't seem to know that he has a birthday today, won't anyone tell him happy birthday and give him gifts?
Xia Tong heard a little "whirring" from the phone, "Ze Shao, are you windy?" ”
"Well... I'm standing by the window right now answering the phone. ”
In fact, he is now standing on the highest viaduct in the city, and the roads around the bridge lead in all directions, and cars and people come and go. He held on to the railing and saw the sunset from noon.
……
By the time Xia Tong made a satisfactory cake, it was already dark outside.
She wanted to take out her mobile phone and call Lin Zeshao again, but as soon as her hand touched her trouser pocket, the sound of unlocking sounded outside the door.
Is he back?
Xia Tong's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, just now she was busy preparing the cake, the lines had not been thought of yet, and then she looked at herself in a shirt and denim shorts, she should at least change into a beautiful dress.
She was a little flustered, and her first instinct was to hide first.
She took the cake and tried to go upstairs, but the door was already open, so she had to hide between the sofa and the wall.
She stretched out her little head, and her two black eyes quietly looked at the door, and it was not Lin Zeshao who came in, but Lu Qing.
Lu Qing led the way to the door, and behind him came a lot of men and women in work clothes, who were holding or carrying a lot of colorful things into the door.
"Let's get ready, hang up the ribbons first, blow the colorful balloons, put the roses in the living room and arrange a heart-shaped sea of flowers, and then put candles on the ground."
Lu Qing didn't know why he was so weak, he was a secretary, and he had to be the boss's personal assistant after work.
Originally, these were Concubine Shu's ideas, and they were also her scope of work, but the boss designated him to do it.
Did the boss also know that Concubine Shu would be self-defeating, that roses would be placed in the kitchen, and that candles would light his villa?
The staff was very skillfully busy, and a girl asked, "Mr. Lu, your boss is really good to his wife, he can make money and be romantic, and now they are having a candlelight dinner, right?" ”
Lu Qing, "It should be, the location of the President's Hotel is booked." But maybe still riding the merry-go-round? Spaceship? Go to Pushan Temple to see the Trevi Fountain..."
He glanced at Concubine Shu's "Qixi Festival" strategy, and when he saw half of it, the roots of his ears were red.
I don't know how that woman has so much in her head... Idea!
Xia Tong behind the sofa was puzzled when he listened, candlelight dinner, merry-go-round... Is it her? She was busy alone from morning to night, the villa was empty and deserted, and now she was crowded in this huddle, and he never saw anyone.
No matter what, she just wants to change her position now, because she is half-squatting, her feet are numb.
As soon as the space was too small, she moved, her hand slipped, and half of the cake hit her.
Xia Tong wanted to cry, this was her hard work for a day!
In his frustration, the door opened again.
