Standing across from him, his steady heartbeat was clearly transmitted through the palm of my hand against his chest, and all the way to the bottom of my heart.

"Discussion." I whispered.

"Huh?"

"Listen to me, don't fight with Zosi anymore, okay?" I looked at him as an exhortation and as a plea.

Hearing this, he raised his eyebrows, his face turned colder, "You feel sorry for him?" ”

"Nope." I replied decisively, and my eyes were very serious, "I'm worried about you." ”

"Oh?" He couldn't help but hook the corners of his lips, as if he believed and doubted, but his mood seemed to be better in an instant.

"So you think that the strength of the Stewart family is not as good as the Furcummings family, and I can't fight Zosi?" He looked at me with an eyebrow.

"You know I didn't mean that." I said calmly.

"Why is that?" He slanted the corners of his lips and asked knowingly.

I looked away and didn't argue with him, "You know, it's not a question of who wins and who loses, as far as the strength of the two families of Furkmins and Stewart is concerned, it will never be a matter of the short term, just like Si and Furkmins, so ......" I looked at him again and said slowly: "I don't want you to consume too much unnecessary energy and losses in this battle, not to mention, this is a meaningless battle." ”

"Doesn't it make sense......" He lowered his eyelids, and the broken hair on his forehead half-covered his eyes, so that I couldn't see the meaning of his eyes, "yes, it really doesn't make sense now......

As soon as the words fell, the corners of his lips hidden in the shadows tugged at a touch of sadness.

"Shang Jingyi......" I tightened my eyebrows and whispered to him.

"Alright, it's not too early for you to go back." He looked up, his clenched fingers loosening.

The temperature on the hands gradually receded, the evening breeze blew, and the back of the hand felt a little cool and empty.

"That. I went back. "I don't know what else to say, I was silent for a long time, only to say goodbye.

"Well, be careful on the road." His smile was barely smiling, but it was bright in the fading light.

I nodded and left.

It was late at night when I stepped into the mansion. The castle hall is lit with candlelight-hued chandeliers and burns orange night.

No one showed up all the way, I pushed the door into the bedroom, and as soon as the light came on, my eyes were suddenly shaken.

I looked at the window, and I didn't know when there was a magnificent grand piano by the window, all crystal texture, smooth and elegant lines, and the bright sparkle of the night through the window.

When surprised. There was a soft knock on the half-open door beside him.

I'll turn back, Zosi.

"Do you like it?" He held the door frame with one hand, and his eyes shone like a cold star in the dark night.

"This is ......" I don't know how to ask the doubt in my heart, this piano is really too chic.

"This is, a graduation gift for you." He smiled and said in a soft tone, "You couldn't attend your graduation ceremony last year, and I've always wanted to give it to you." Make up for it today. ”

"But, it's your piano."

It felt familiar at first sight. I finally remembered that this was a special limited edition of the Steinway Piano Company on the occasion of its 99th anniversary. Whether it's the rigors of craftsmanship, the unique materials or the astonishing level of craftsmanship, the richness of the tone and the specially designed soundboard, this piano is the best of Steinway & Sons pianos.

Zosi loves the piano avidly. This commemorative version of Steinway, which has been hailed as a "unique sound" by the piano world, was the first to be purchased by him as soon as it came out, and it is on this Steinway that I still cherish it, and it is on this Steinway that I learned the first piano piece.

"Yes," he replied, his gaze flowing softly over the crystal-textured appearance of the piano. Like caressing a beloved art collection, "it's also something I cherish the most." ”

"It shouldn't be in my house," I said indifferently, "and it shouldn't have been sent out by you." ”

"No, Ruori, I'm not giving it away," his soft gaze shifted to me, "You're a part of my life now, and I don't have anything to lose by letting you have it, do I?" ”

I looked away, I hadn't seen him for a long time, and now he had begun to prefer vulgar dialogue.

Ignoring my coldness, he gently took my hand, led me to the piano, and then placed my fingers on a slightly cool crystal.

"Does that sound familiar?" He whispered in my ear, "The first time you touched the keys was on this Steinway...... After you left the family, every time you see this piano, you can always touch the softest and most painful corner of my heart, very strange, the whole house is obviously your traces, but I don't know why, but only this piano can give me such a feeling, you know, every day and every night, I will play "Romance of Love" more than a dozen times, just to catch a moment of your remaining breath. ”

The keys under my fingers sucked my body heat and became warm, and the palm of Zossi's hand on the back of my hand did not move, and I no longer cared whether to break free or not.

He took a deep breath and took me in his arms, "So, at that time, I decided that I must find you and give it to you, because only the figure of you sitting next to it and tapping the keys gently can fit with the "Romance of Love" in my heart, and can fit with the deep love and shallow pain, ......"He pulled my shoulders over, and the face in front of me gradually dyed the night, revealing a faint sadness, "I'm sorry, I allowed you to withdraw from my life like this." ”

As he spoke, he turned his face sideways and slowly approached me.

I indifferently parted my cheeks, "I don't want to mention the past, even though "Romance of Love" was the only painful existence in my life, but there has never been only one piece of music that holds my heart in my life, and now, that "Romance of Love" has missed the tune and can only remain in the past forever." ”

"Isn't the music that first took over your life the deepest presence of your life?" He frowned, his eyes burning a little more, "The tune after that can't take its place." ”

I took a step back, my arms not tight, and I could easily escape.

"I think what I fell in love with was the noble and distant but heart-wrenching young man who was as pure as ice and snow, not you now." Fingertips swept over the cold crystal, I remember the first time I touched it, the crystal made my heart break, "When you sat in front of it, the tune that played was as pure as this crystal Steinway, can you still play such a flawless tune now?" ”

"Ruori, I—" He stepped forward, his voice eager.

"It's impossible," I smiled sadly, as if I was a tribute to Chuntou's youth, "now you have carried too much, touched too much, and you are no longer the pure ice and snow of the past." ”

"No, Ruori, I can change it," he clamped my shoulder, "for you, I can go back to the way I was, in fact, I've been trying to treat you the way I was a teenager these days, don't you feel it?" Even though we can't immediately go back to the same time as before, I have the patience to ......."

"Don't talk to me about patience anymore, these feelings are not something that can be recovered by patience," I interrupted him, and my voice felt weak, "why don't you understand, I'm tired......"

"Ruori ......," he said eagerly.

I waved my hand, "I'm a little tired and want to rest." "I've endured so much on this day.

He looked at me, his eyes overflowing with sadness, and the hand that was clamped on my shoulder slowly lowered.

His tone darkened suddenly, and he said slowly, "Then, you can rest, good night." ”

When he looked up, his figure had already walked to the door, opened it, and after a pause, the man walked out.

We breathed a sigh of relief, feeling exhausted, in fact, the patience he had been emphasizing was my only bargaining chip at the moment, and while he was still willing to treat me politely, I could at least do what I wanted to do safely, if not...... I shook my head, the way I stared at the piano changed slightly.

After a moment of silence, I picked up the phone and dialed Ye Ningchen.

"Miss Ruori, please command." There is always a gentle and calm voice on the other end of the phone.

"Help me inform the Commonwealth Times that I have a news lead to provide them, and it would be best to see it early tomorrow morning."

"Miss, please."

Without taking my eyes off the piano for a moment, I said calmly: "The head of the Furkmins family gave his fiancée a commemorative edition piano that was specially limited to the world on the occasion of the 99th anniversary of the establishment of the Steinway Piano Company tonight, symbolizing their unique and crystal-pure love. ”

Si Tianzhe, you are powerful, your ability is omnipresent, even after I ruthlessly pushed you away and fled from you, your high power still covers all my actions, and I am ridiculously performing self-righteous cleverness in your world, stripping me of my only self-esteem.

Since I can't get out of your world, neither human nor mental, since your control has permeated my life all the time, and since all my self-esteem has been removed before this, then I simply show you everything, so that your gaze from above can see through everything more.

Are you satisfied?

"This ......" Ye Ningchen hesitated a little.

"What, what's the problem?" I said indifferently.

"What's going on?" His voice was full of concern, and he came hurriedly over the phone.

"I'm fine, do as I say."

"If it's okay, you wouldn't want to do that." His voice was steady, as if he had seen everything.

The fingertips tightened, and the gaze of staring at the piano gradually covered with a light mist under the pain in the bottom of my heart.

Yes, I would never want to do it if it weren't for something.

If it weren't for the loss of control at this moment, I would never have acted in such a way that was completely different from my own heart.

- Out of control.

What a word I don't want to admit in my world.

I used to think that I would never lose control of what I was, and once I thought that I could always face everything calmly and even indifferently.

Now, I will actually lose control because of him, and now, Fu Qingyu, who is indifferent and ignores everything, will actually lose control for a person.

A drop of cold suddenly slammed down. (To be continued......)
