CHAPTER XLIV
The atmosphere was too quiet, but it made me a little restless. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
"One more question, can I?" I took the initiative to speak, trying to break the silence.
Summer didn't answer me, still staring out the window.
I waited for a few seconds, but she still didn't give me any reply.
The current situation, although a little embarrassing, did not make me feel overwhelmed. Although she didn't open her mouth to answer, she also didn't open her mouth to veto, and I was smart enough to naturally assume that she was acquiescing.
So, I continued to ask her, "Your former boss Ling Feng, what kind of person is he?" ”
I had already asked this question once a long time ago, and Summer didn't answer me seriously at the time, just casually perfunctory a few words, and then the question was put aside, and to this day, I turned it over again.
After asking the question, I looked up at the summer.
Summer didn't seem to have any intention of answering my question, to be precise, it was more like she hadn't heard what I had just said, and she was still staring out the window with a calm expression.
I was so confused by her actions that I thought she was pretending to be deliberately avoiding my questions. But after staring at her for a while, I found that her calm appearance was very natural, not very pretending. This made me wonder if my voice was too soft when I was talking just now, and this girl didn't hear it at all.
"Knock~Knock~Knock~"
A voice interrupted my thoughts, and I looked at Summer again, and she was still staring out the window, just her right index finger tapping lightly on the table. The sound that interrupted my thoughts was the one she made when she tapped on the table.
"Knock~Knock~Knock......"
The tapping continued, so soft that no one but me could hear it.
At this knocking sound, the two of us were silent for a long time.
I don't know how long it took, just as the summer yuzu tea was about to bottom, the percussion finally stopped.
"Okay, the tea is over, it's time to go, right?" While saying this, Summer has already risen from her seat.
I looked at her with some urgency, except for a "Oh! He didn't know what else he could answer, so he followed her out of the café.
As soon as I walked out of the café, I found that the rain had become heavier, and the rain that was originally as thin as a hair had now turned into small droplets, hitting my umbrella like teardrops.
Summer and I held umbrellas and walked down the old street one after the other.
It was a little different from when I came, but at this moment it was Summer walking in front of me, and I was walking behind her to the right, about two steps or so.
I followed behind Summer, quietly observing her back. At this time, she was holding an umbrella in one hand, walking steadily, without the twist of ordinary girls, coupled with some neutral, capable and refreshing dress, I couldn't help but praise her handsomeness in my heart.
Now we look like one after the other, she is more like a boss, and I'm just a little assistant, or maybe not even an assistant, just a little follower.
From the café to the parking lot, we didn't speak, we didn't even make a sound, we were as silent as in the café.
I was about to walk in front of my car, and Summer, who was walking in front of me, suddenly stopped.
I didn't know what was going on with her, so I hurriedly stopped, still two steps behind her.
"The car is right in front, why did it stop suddenly?"
Summer didn't answer, just looked back at me.
"What do you think I'm doing?"
"He's actually very kind, he just doesn't want to express it."
I was confused by Summer's inexplicable words, so I could only stare at her and look at her stupidly, "Huh? What are you talking about? ”
"I'm answering your question."
"My problem? When did I ask you a question? ”
"Just now at the café."
I remembered the last question I asked at the café, and it turned out that she had heard it, but I always thought she hadn't heard!
But since she heard it at the time, why didn't she answer in the café just now, and waited until now to speak? Could it be that her brain circuit is too long, causing the processing of the problem just now to be delayed?
I pondered in my mind for a moment, and then continued to ask, "Ling Feng is very kind?" Are you sure you're serious? ”
Summer avoided my gaze and raised the corners of her mouth slightly, "Yes, it's kind, but it's ......"
"But what?"
"It's pathetic, too."
"One moment kind, one moment pitiful, I don't understand what you're talking about? Are you sure that the person you're talking about is Ling Feng? ”
Summer didn't answer, just smiled and nodded, but her gaze was still avoiding mine.
This kind of evasion is not the kind of escape when lying, but more like a cover-up, afraid that I will perceive something from her eyes, so I will avoid it so deliberately.
Just when I was about to continue asking something, Summer got ahead of me and said, "Okay, that's all for today!" ”
Her words directly blocked all the questions that I had already put on my lips. Although I was unwilling, I could only nod helplessly, after all, I didn't want to make the atmosphere too bad.
When I opened the door and got into the car, I was still sitting in the back of the car as I had come.
Start the car in the summer and drive out of the parking lot slowly.
At this time, the atmosphere in the car is unusually quiet, and this quietness makes people feel suffocated.
Although I didn't talk much in the car with Natsu on the way here, and the atmosphere was just as quiet, it didn't cause me any discomfort at the time.
But at this time, the quiet atmosphere on the way back had an indescribable sense of incongruity, which made me feel very uncomfortable.
"Put on some music!"
Summer didn't speak, just casually pressed the FM button.
Perhaps it was a coincidence, after turning on the FM, a melodious piece of music ran directly out of the car stereo.
I'm no stranger to this tune, "PorUna Cabeza" (One Step Away), a well-known Spanish tango song. However, at this time, the car was only playing a performance version, and there was no singing part.
This is one of the few pieces of music that I know of. The violin leads the melody in a high-pitched and restrained manner, and the piano hits the keys powerfully before the climax of the music, and the two instruments achieve an amazing tacit cooperation, so that the whole melody lingers in the mind.
Every time the song ends, it makes me feel unfinished, I always feel that there is something missing, and it feels like it is just a little bit away, just one step away.
Listening to this piece of music, maybe you will never be the last one.
That's what I, as a layman, understand about the song "PorUnaCabeza" that is playing in my ears at the moment.
