It wasn't until ten o'clock in the evening that Zhou Xiaochuan returned home with Xiao Hei and Lao Gui.

After washing up and changing into a set of clean and refreshing clothes, Zhou Xiaochuan dragged a stool and sat down in front of Xiao Hei, just looked at it directly, and after a few minutes, he asked, "Xiao Hei, ...... What kind of animal is it? ”

Although from the point of view of appearance, Xiao Hei is a pure Chinese pastoral dog, but after seeing its magical ability to command birds and beasts, Zhou Xiaochuan never believed that its identity would be so simple!

To Zhou Xiaochuan's disappointment, Xiao Hei at this moment actually became the same as before and couldn't understand what he said. He just raised his head, glanced at him with a puzzled look, then narrowed his eyes again, and lay on the ground to take a nap - since he summoned and ordered the birds and beasts in Guangqing Road, Xiao Hei had been very tired, as if that incident had exhausted all his energy.

Zhou Xiaochuan couldn't help frowning, with a puzzled expression: "Strange, why can't you understand what I said?" When we were on Guangqing Road before, didn't we both communicate successfully? ”

Zhou Xiaochuan, who was eager to solve the questions in his heart, was unwilling to fail like this, so he tried various methods to establish communication with Xiao Hei again. However, the end result was very disappointing for him - none of these methods worked.

After another round of communication failed, Zhou Xiaochuan could only shake his head and sigh lightly: "That's it, it seems that the communication can't be achieved today, so I can only save it for later." Hey, I don't know what's going on, just now we were all connected, why can't it be in a blink of an eye? After whispering a few words, he just watched Xiao Hei fall into deep thought.

The old turtle lying on the table next to him also wanted to say a few words to Xiao Hei at first, and he wanted to talk about it or something. But after seeing what happened to Zhou Xiaochuan, he could only helplessly dispel this idea, and muttered to himself: "It seems that it is not possible to please Xiao Hei verbally, I have to take practical actions to do it." ”

Ever since he saw the momentum of the king of beasts emanating from Xiao Hei's body, the old turtle had made up his mind. Even, from time to time, it will also think about the silver in its heart: "Look at those mythical stories, there is a turtle prime minister in the undersea Dragon Palace." If I can stammer and curry favor with Xiao Hei, even if I can't become the prime minister of the turtle and become a turtle official and turtle general, I should still be able to, right? Perhaps, with my rich knowledge and profound artistic attainments, it is not impossible to be a writer among birds and beasts......"

For a while, Zhou Xiaochuan, Xiao Hei, and Lao Gui were all thinking about their own problems, and they didn't make any sound, making the room silent, and the silence was a little dull.

This atmosphere lasted for more than ten minutes, until a rather abrupt knock sounded, which brought Zhou Xiaochuan, who was in deep thought, back to his senses.

"Who?" Zhou Xiaochuan couldn't think of anyone who would come to him at such a late hour, but he still got up and opened the door as soon as possible.

"Hey, why are you?" After seeing the appearance of the person standing outside the door clearly, Zhou Xiaochuan couldn't help but be stunned, and a look of surprise flashed on his face.

The person outside the door was actually Zhang Aijia, who had always kept a straight face to him and didn't treat him very much.

"Miss Zhang, you came to me so late, but is there something wrong?" Zhou Xiaochuan asked. He really couldn't understand why Zhang Aijia came to him so late.

Zhang Aijia's answer really surprised Zhou Xiaochuan: "Oh, that's the case, I saw that you didn't come to practice today, so I came over to ask why." ”

In fact, the reason why Zhang Aijia came to Zhou Xiaochuan at such a late hour was not because she cared about Zhou Xiaochuan, but because her teacher wanted to come to Fangting County tomorrow to visit the author of the song "Nature".

Although Zhang Aijia does not think that Zhou Xiaochuan is the author of the song "Nature", it is certain that Zhou Xiaochuan and the author must know each other, and the relationship is not shallow. Otherwise, the other party would not have taught him the heavenly "Nature" song.

Originally, Zhang Aijia planned to take advantage of Zhou Xiaochuan's piano practice tonight to bring up this matter. But what she didn't expect was that Zhou Xiaochuan didn't come to practice tonight, which made her plan fall through.

Zhang Aijia, who was unwilling, ran over and knocked on the door several times before Zhou Xiaochuan came back, but no one answered, and only now did he see Zhou Xiaochuan.

During the period when Zhou Xiaochuan did not come back, Zhang Aijia also thought clearly, if he rashly mentioned that he wanted to see the author of the song "Nature", there was a chance that Zhou Xiaochuan would reject it. After all, she has no friendship with Zhou Xiaochuan, strictly speaking, if there is no Uncle Zhang, she and Zhou Xiaochuan are strangers who have nothing to do with each other.

In such a situation, Zhang Aijia chose the curve to save the country: first find a topic to be close to Zhou Xiaochuan, wait until a few words of chatting, and then look for an opportunity to cut to the topic. In this way, the chances of success are at least a few points greater than rashly speaking.

Zhou Xiaochuan didn't know what Zhang Aijia was thinking about, and thought that the other party really cared about him, so he couldn't help but secretly say in his heart: "I didn't expect that although Zhang Aijia looks very cold and difficult to get along with, in fact, it's still pretty good......

At the same time, he also replied with a smile: "I thought you came to me so late, what is the urgency, it turns out that this is the matter." Blame me for forgetting to tell you yesterday, from now on, I won't practice piano anymore. Oh, by the way, I have to thank you for your generosity in lending me a piano for the past few days......"

"What do you say? You don't practice piano anymore? This...... Why is that? Zhang Aijia didn't expect that Zhou Xiaochuan's answer was 'no longer practicing the piano', she was immediately anxious, and hurriedly asked questions without waiting for Zhou Xiaochuan to finish speaking. At this moment, she completely forgot the purpose of coming to Zhou Xiaochuan, and just wanted to figure out why Zhou Xiaochuan suddenly gave up the piano.

Since the incident three years ago, the sad Zhang Aijia has put all her thoughts on the piano, hoping to be comforted in music and forget about unhappy things. It is precisely for this reason that she is very paranoid about piano-related matters, and it is not an exaggeration to even describe her as 'paranoid'.

And that's why she's so excited at this moment.

"Uh......" Zhou Xiaochuan didn't expect Zhang Aijia's reaction to be so violent after listening to his answer, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a few seconds before replying: "There's no reason, it's just that I don't want to learn anymore." After all, I don't have much talent for piano. ”

No talent?!
