Chapter 55: The Night Surprises the Dead
When he enters the house, he finds Nik sitting alone on the stairs.
I was slightly surprised, and hurriedly stepped forward and touched his little head, "What's the matter, is it another nightmare?" ”
He shook his head.
I sat down and hugged him, "Why haven't you slept yet?" ”
"Sister Ruori ......"
"Huh?"
He raised his head, blinked his innocent little eyes, and asked softly, "Why are we hiding...... I heard what that beautiful sister just said, why should we hide it from others? ”
The movement stiffened slightly, I lowered my eyelids, I didn't want him to know these things, if no one found it, I was willing to let this child not know for the rest of his life, and live carefree, how good it would be.
Hugged him tighter, "Nik, do you believe Ruori sister?" ”
The head buried in my neck nodded, and he replied sullenly, "Believe." ”
"Then ......" I let go of him, stared at those pure eyes, and asked seriously, "Do you believe that Sister Ruori can give you happiness?" ”
"Sister Ruori," replied the immature voice, "I'm happy now." ”
I laughed, "When did children become so talkative?" ”
"It's true." As if he was afraid that I wouldn't believe it, he nodded vigorously, "I hope to live with Sister Ruori forever." ”
Amused by his innocence, I smiled, "Okay, live forever, but now, you have to rest, lest you lie in bed tomorrow morning." ”
"Well, good night Sister Ruori." He stood up and walked upstairs.
"Good night."
It was night, and I woke up from a dream.
Leaning on the head of the bed and panting slightly, the fragments of the dream still lingered, but it was nothing more than pitch black, as if helplessly imprisoned by others, unable to break free.
I let out a long breath, worrying about the day and dreaming at night, and I knew that the dream was a true reflection of my subconscious.
It's just strange that in the past year or so I have been on the run, I have slept soundly almost every night and never had nightmares, so why do I regain those long-lost uneasiness today.
It was probably Miss Badel's sudden visit that brought back a deep memory that had been hidden in my mind. I calmed my irregular heartbeat, and tried to convince myself that I had no need to worry, that Mr. Bader was convincing, and that with his help, all traces of me would be hidden forever.
Taking a step back, even if someone finds it, it will be a matter of many years, not to mention, will someone spend manpower and material resources to search for three years, five years, or even more for a mere me?
I tugged at the corners of my mouth, sarcastic or self-deprecating. Whether or not anyone believes in eternal enthusiasm, I don't believe in it.
The floating world is impermanent, and human feelings are changing instantaneously, haven't I already been familiar with this truth?
I'm afraid it will be difficult to fall asleep, so I looked at the alarm clock at hand, and at four o'clock in the morning, I got up and poured a glass of water, turned on the computer and logged in to the email.
Sure enough, there was an email, it was sent at one o'clock in the morning.
Sending emails or phone calls is the main way I contact my business, and I don't usually meet with clients unless it is absolutely necessary, and high exposure is not a good thing, and the nature of my current profession and the situation that I will never recover from if I am not careful, all remind me of this.
When I clicked on the email, a customer named Dawn asked for my tunes, which were 5-6 minutes long.
I took it and replied to him, "Is it based on the existing words?" ”
Unexpectedly, after only ten minutes, I received a reply from him, which was a line in Chinese, "There are no words, the theme of the song is 'dark night', and the name is up to you." ”
I was somewhat surprised by the people who didn't sleep late at night, and I replied to him: "Okay, how many days do you want?" ”
"Two days. Give it to me early the day after tomorrow, before eight o'clock. ”
I thought for a moment, "Two days...... I'm afraid it's a bit rushed. ”
"I can pay more," Dawn replied, "but I want to keep the quality." ”
I smiled bitterly, inspiration is not something that money can buy, not to mention I don't want to deal with things in a hurry, but this customer is really generous, horizontal and vertical in order to eat a meal, such a case makes me unable to refuse, it's okay to challenge, I replied: "No problem, do you have any other requirements." ”
"No, I'll pay half of the money first, and then pay the other half when I get the song and make sure it meets my requirements."
Though a man is arrogant, he acts neatly and neatly.
I stretched and turned out the window, the sky was already showing some warm colors, the most precious morning of the day came as promised, may the morning light drive away all the gloom of anxiety and panic, and devote full energy to life.
However, it turns out that creative inspiration is not something that can be stimulated by money or a lot of energy.
For a whole day, I struggled with the word "night", playing and changing it, but I was never able to write a song that penetrated my heart, and before I knew it, it was late at night.
It was a little cold in the silence of the manor in the night, and Nik had already fallen asleep, and I paced to the courtyard behind the house, where a piano was placed.
The reason why the piano is placed outdoors is a little habit of mine, and the creation should also pay attention to the stimulating effect of the environment on people, and I think that under the influence of the natural scenery of green spaces and trees, my thinking will be more active, and my thoughts will be vivid and full.
The night breeze passed through the treetops, and there was no moon in the night, but there were stars shining, and I sat down at the piano and played the tune that came to mind during the day.
It's all silent, I can't tell why, tonight always makes me feel worried, maybe because the tune fits the theme of the dark night and is a little sad, so that people can breed such feelings.
I shook my head, dissipated from the clutter of thoughts, and concentrated on the music.
"The song is beautiful, but unfortunately, the connotation is a little worse."
A sentence sent by the night breeze struck me like a ghost in the dark night, and I bounced up like an electric shock, and stared in panic at the figure that appeared out of thin air behind me.
The evil smile of the young man reflected the starlight, and his figure was embedded in the inky night, making him reveal a compelling magical charm. And the familiar curvature of the corners of his lips, the silver light shining under his left ear, the temperament of a comic book character, all these things, even if the night blurred his face, but with these, I could not help but recognize him.
- After all, it still came.
It's just that this scare is too shocking, and my heartbeat is really hard to calm down, but seeing him slowly approaching, with a smile on the corner of his lips, I can't help but be wary.
"You ......" subconsciously retreated, but I couldn't say a word at all.
On the contrary, he was more calm, standing still in front of me, not near or far, his deep and elegant voice seemed to bow a handful of starlight, "Why, are you so excited to see me, Love?" ”
