Chapter 27: Delusion
It wasn't too late for Zhuo Meng to get home, but she still felt that the day was too short, because happy things always made time pass quickly, and it was almost over before she knew it. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Getting out of the car outside the house, she said goodbye to Schlolo and watched her go away from the iron gate. Turning around slowly, she suddenly noticed that the house behind her was pitch black.
Sister Zhang is not at home, there are no lights at home? Zhuo Meng's heart was full of doubts.
When she entered the living room, it was pitch black, and she couldn't see anything, so she could only cautiously fumble with the switch on the wall. Pressed the gate, and the light lit up every corner of the living room in a split second. Turning around, she was caught off guard, Jiang Chufan, who was leaning on the sofa, suddenly fell into her eyes, and with a secret startle, she was so frightened that she was stunned in place. Obviously, she didn't do anything wrong, but when she saw Jiang Chufan's eyes, her heart beat fast, as if she was about to rush out of her chest.
"You...... Coming back? ”
Zhuo Meng was so frightened that he even stuttered a little when he spoke. Jiang Chufan's eyes were like torches, looking at her, his gaze seemed to see her through.
"You don't seem to be very happy that I came back early?"
Relieved, Zhuo Meng felt a little helpless, and walked towards the ledge with her handbag.
"I didn't mean that."
He lazily stroked his forehead, his face seemed to be a little drunk, and his face was obviously a little flushed when he looked closely.
"Really?"
His face was full of suspicion, and distrusting her seemed to have become his habit.
"Where have you been today?"
She was facing away from him, about to hang the bag in her hand on the ledge, and his cold question was thrown at her so bluntly.
"I just went out for a walk, and I didn't go anywhere."
She replied to him with some anger, he was questioning her private life, which made her feel very uncomfortable. Jiang Chufan got up from the sofa with some bumps and staggered towards her. His mind is still clear, but he doesn't know why, but his steps are a little vain.
"With whom?"
He continued to question her. Retracting her hand, she hung it limply at her sides, exhaling the stuffiness in her chest, she didn't want to answer his question. He tugged hard at her hand, pulling her figure with her back to him to the front.
"Who is it?!"
He hadn't received an answer from her for so long, and he had lost his patience for peace of mind. Looking at his somewhat angry expression, Zhuo Meng felt a little funny. What's wrong with him, is he going to interfere in her life...... It's funny that he doesn't let her intervene in his life, but he wants to control her. Taking a deep breath, she suppressed the heat bubbling in her chest, trying to keep the expression on her face calm.
"Lolo, you've seen it."
She said, and he suddenly smiled coldly, increasing the force in his hand, and he threw her into a corner...... Approaching her face, his breath spreading over her face was slightly hot.
"Is it only Schlolo......"
He was laughing, sarcastically.
"I thought you finally couldn't bear the loneliness and went to a tryst with someone else......"
His breath ran down the tip of her nose, making her feel sick, and she held back the pain of her back hitting the wall, and she looked at him resentfully, but he didn't notice it.
"Jiang Chufan, do you see me like that? …… Do you think I'm that kind of person?! ”
He smiled wickedly, his eyes full of disdain.
"It's hard to say...... After all, I've never satisfied you in that regard, and it's normal for you to be unable to bear loneliness...... Lately, you've been running out ......"
He leaned in a little closer, raised her chin, and he looked at her with some staring, the mockery in his eyes thickening.
"You're going to meet your lover, how about he's serving you comfortably?"
His words were vicious, and she couldn't bear it. Pulling his hand away with all her might, her face flushed with anger.
"Don't think I'm as dirty as you do"
Throwing the sentence down hard, she pushed him away and walked towards the room.
"Stop!"
He shouted, but she didn't stop and went straight to her room.
"Zhuo Meng, I told you to stop, did you hear me?!"
She pretended not to hear and returned to her room, where she quickly closed the door.
Jiang Chufan sat back on the sofa weakly, and he rubbed his forehead in distress...... Today, what's wrong with him, it's just that he didn't see her when he came home, why did he lose control? This...... It's really not his style.
……
On the way to the orphanage, Zhuo Meng sat quietly in the car, his eyes kept looking at the scenery that was flying by outside the window.
"Stop!"
She suddenly stopped the driver.
Getting out of the car, she looked up at the familiar shop sign, slightly distracted. I opened the door, and the furnishings inside were still so familiar. When the store manager saw that it was her, he smiled and walked towards her.
"Miss Zhuo, you haven't been to our piano shop for a long time, do you want to repair the piano or come to see the piano today?"
She is a regular customer here, and the store manager is very kind and gentle to her. However, her eagerness to entertain made Zhuo Meng a little embarrassed.
"I'm just passing by, by the way, it's still the same, I'll just see for myself."
"Okay."
The manager showed a standard eight-toothed smile, still kind.
"You feel free to visit."
With that, she walked over to the other customers.
Without the interruption of others, Zhuo Meng was happy and relaxed. Walking towards the back of the store, she carefully examined each grand piano on the countertop. Inadvertently, she saw a white piano...... The white piano is very similar to that one.
She walked slowly towards the piano, only a few steps as long as she had walked for a century. Slowly opened the lid, and the black and white keys were so distinctly colored.
She sat on a stool in front of the piano, her fingers unconsciously flicking on the piano keys.
She couldn't hear what kind of song she was playing, but the images flashed in her mind one by one, she didn't want to think about it, but she couldn't stop, because her mind was full of his shadow.
His smile, his hug, his kiss, and the intently way he hugged her as he played the piano...... She thought she would forget these, but it turned out that the memories related to him were still so clear. She couldn't fool herself, she missed him, very, very much, thought of ...... My heart hurts.
"Smack, smack, slap......"
Crisp applause rang out, and she suddenly woke up from her dream. Looking at the source of the sound, her eyes were moist and hazy, and looking at the person in front of her was a little unreal, which gave her a momentary illusion. The applause was still ringing, but as she got closer, she gradually saw the people walking towards her...... Not him!
"Mr. Tang, why are you here?"
She was a little surprised that she would meet Tang Rui here. He raised the corners of his mouth at her, and smiled softly, his smile like a ray of sunshine that seemed to melt away all the cold around him.
"You and Luo Luo are really similar, they all have a surprised look on their faces when they see me, as if it will be an accident for me to appear in front of you whenever and wherever I appear."
"I'm sorry ......"
She was a little embarrassed by him. He smiled, unconcerned.
"You don't mind, I'm just kidding."
He walked around her and walked to the piano, his five fingers striking a few notes on the keys.
"This piano has a good tone."
He complimented, and she nodded, echoing him.
"Hmm...... Does Mr. Tang also like the piano? ”
Tang Rui glanced at her and pursed the corners of his lips bitterly.
"When I was a child, I liked it, my family was poor, and it was very difficult for me to study, let alone want to learn the piano, and when I grew up, I was busy working and making money, and I didn't have the heart to learn the piano anymore, so I could only put aside the things I liked. But I'll still come and see it when I have time, I can't have it, and it's good to take a look. ”
When he told his story, his tone was very flat, but she could hear the bitterness in his heart, and unconsciously, a look of pity flowed from her face, which made him a little uncomfortable, and when he turned a corner, he changed the subject to lightheartedness.
"By the way, why do you always call me 'Mr. Tang', it sounds very unusual, don't call me that in the future, you can call me 'senior' like Luo Luo, anyway, you are also my senior sister." But...... I would also like you to call me by name. ”
He said a little ambiguously, Zhuo Meng was stunned, lowered her head slightly, and said in a low voice: "Then I will still call you 'senior' in the future." ”
"Huh? ……”
He turned 180 degrees in pitch and leaned closer to her face, and he looked earnestly into her sparkling eyes.
"Forget it, I'll let you change it slowly in the future."
He left her a little, and looked like a ruffian, the exact opposite of the gentle appearance she had had when she first saw him.
"Are you going to go to the orphanage later?"
"Hmm."
She replied in a low voice.
"Me too, let's go together."
"Huh?!"
His sudden invitation made her panic, and she looked up, her eyes blank. Tang Rui shook his head helplessly, such a beautiful girl, why was her reaction so slow, but she looked dumbfounded...... It's so cute.
He pointed the tip of his index finger back at her forehead, and she shook her head and looked at him strangely. He didn't repeat what he had just said to her, his hands were in his trouser pockets, and he walked handsomely out of the store.
"Gone."
He shouted to the people behind him, in a strange mood.
"Oh......"
Inexplicably, she vaguely agreed to him, and she caught up with him in small steps......
