Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Violin
It was already dark when Li Yichen stopped his movements, and he kneaded his stiff neck with his hands, and let out an "ah" in pain.
"Oops, cooking."
Li Yichen suddenly remembered that Wu Shiming proposed that the two of them be in charge of today's dinner last night, so he hurriedly closed the computer and ran downstairs.
He is very concerned about breaking his promises, and usually people who have appointments will arrive half an hour early, so now he feels that he may have to release pigeons, and he is very anxious.
"I can't create on the balcony in the future, and it's easy to lose track of time."
Li Yichen rushed to the first floor step by step and three steps, and saw Wu Shiming stun the fish with a knife, and was about to disembowel, Zhao Wenfeng stood behind her with a scared expression and watched.
"I'll come on, I'll come on, I've overslept, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
As Li Yichen spoke, he stretched out his hand to take the big knife in Wu Shiming's hand.
The knife in Wu Shiming's hand stopped, raised his head and looked at Li Yichen indifferently.
"You can kill fish?"
"It'll be a little bit, I'll try it, you hurry up and take a break, I've worked hard for you, I'm sorry."
Li Yichen apologized again, and Wu Shiming half-pushed and half-handed the knife into Li Yichen's hand.
"Then you clean up the fish, this one is going to be steamed, you know how to do it."
"How many cuts?"
"Well, remember to stuff ginger slices in."
Wu Shiming looked at Li Yichen's skillful movements with satisfaction, and went to cook other dishes with confidence.
Now Zhao Wenfeng was embarrassed again, he saw that Li Yichen and Wu Shiming cooperated tacitly, and assigned the work in twos and threes, and suddenly felt that he was the superfluous person in this kitchen, and he couldn't do anything.
Li Yichen sensed Zhao Wenfeng's uneasiness and shouted: "Wenfeng, you help us steam rice, with your help, we will be much faster." ”
Zhao Wenfeng looked at Li Yichen with a complicated expression, and his heart was full of contradictions.
What should a man do if he is so good to himself?
The seniors didn't teach this.
"Yes, Wen Feng, you can help steam the rice." Wu Shiming also pleased.
"Okay, okay."
Zhao Wenfeng didn't know how many meters to scoop, so he poured a small half pot into it by feeling, washed it, and asked Li Yichen: "How much water should I put in?" ”
Li Yichen glanced at the rice cooker, a little surprised by the amount of rice, but did not say it.
"Just before the back of your hand."
Zhao Wenfeng obediently measured it with his hand, added a little more water to it, confirmed it repeatedly, and asked embarrassedly: "Is it okay to press the start button on this rice cooker?" ”
Wu Shiming walked over and took a look: "It should be like this." ”
Zhao Wenfeng was a bit like a child who wanted to be praised, looking at Wu Shiming expectantly, but Wu Shiming was already busy stir-frying.
With Li Yichen's full help and Zhao Wenfeng's assistance, Wu Shiming quickly prepared today's dinner, and waited for a while, the others came back one after another, the hour hand pointed to six o'clock, and the people who had already arrived at home gathered around to eat first, and Wei Zhipeng and Zhou Hanying, who had not arrived at home, did not wait for them.
After dinner, Li Yichen wanted to take the laptop back to the room first, got up and walked upstairs.
Zhao Jingyi observed Li Yichen's movements, so he casually found an excuse and went upstairs, waited at the door of the boys' room for a while, saw Li Yichen come out, and pretended to meet him and said hello.
"Brother Yichen, do you have something to do now?"
Li Yichen stopped: "No, do you need any help?" ”
Zhao Jingyi put his hands behind his back and said timidly: "Then, can you go to the rooftop with me?" ”
Why did this child go to the rooftop without saying a word, and what stimulated him?
Li Yichen looked at Zhao Jingyi suspiciously, afraid that something bad would happen to her, so he hurriedly agreed.
"Now?"
"Well, let's go up."
"Go get a coat."
Li Yichen saw that Zhao Jingyi was only wearing a thin piece of clothing, so he said that she should go back to the room to get her coat.
The temperature difference between day and night in the spring in Donghua City is very large, and he doesn't know how long he will stay when he goes up, anyway, he is prepared, if Zhao Jingyi doesn't bring a coat, what if he talks with his arms in his hands later, Li Yichen doesn't want to take off his coat to her.
Zhao Jingyi saw that Li Yichen was concerned about herself, so she obediently walked back to the room.
"Then you wait, I'll come out right away."
As soon as Zhao Jingyi entered the room, she rushed to the mirror to touch up her makeup, and then took a coat from the wardrobe and went out.
"Let's go."
The two went to the rooftop one after the other, sitting in the position where Li Yichen created in the afternoon, the cool breeze was blowing, looking at the deep night, the stars twinkled at two or three o'clock, and no one spoke for a while.
After a while, Zhao Jingyi suddenly asked, "Brother Yichen, are you interested in the violin?" ”
Li Yichen looked at Zhao Jingyi vigilantly, remembering the nightmarish ballet.
"It's too hard to learn, I'm not interested."
"Hee-hee, it's not hard to get started." Zhao Jingyi said against his will.
The beginner progress of all musical instruments will not be very fast, and the violin is even more difficult to learn, unlike the guitar has a saying of "self-learning in three months", the violin can play a normal tone after three months of self-study.
In the face of long squeaks and ridicule from the friends around them, most people's determination and freshness to learn the violin will not be maintained for more than three months.
It was Zhao Jingyi himself, who persisted for two years under the persecution of his mother when he was a child, and gradually developed the habit of practicing the piano, and gradually fell in love with this instrument. Looking back now, I am only grateful to my parents and neighbors for enduring the noise I made for months, and I am free from frustration and boredom.
Li Yichen saw that the happy expression on Zhao Jingyi's face did not seem to be fake, so he was slightly moved.
"Is it really easy to get started?"
But soon, Li Yichen slapped the back of his head and forced himself to calm down.
"What do you think, the lesson from the past is in the morning!"
Li Yichen shook his head at Zhao Jingyi and said, "Forget it, it's good to have a chance to listen to you play the violin." ”
Zhao Jingyi was a little disappointed when she heard Li Yichen's refusal, and then became happy: "Okay, then tomorrow, are you free tomorrow?" ”
Li Yichen said honestly: "There is nothing to do tomorrow." ”
"Then we'll make an agreement, we'll go out together tomorrow."
"You won't suddenly let me learn the violin, will you?"
"No, but if Brother Yichen is interested, I can also teach it."
"Not interested."
……
Downstairs, Wu Shiming and Sun Qianru occasionally chatted with everyone, but their eyes looked at the staircase from time to time, and they didn't know why Li Yichen had to put a computer up for so long.
"Tomorrow is Friday, so soon, do you have any plans for the weekend?" Ning Yan looked at Sun Qianru.
"Huh? Me? I guess I'm going to a dance studio. ”
Sun Qianru remembered the scene of dancing with Li Yichen in the morning, and blushed a little.
Ning Yan was a little disappointed and said, "I can't rest on weekends, so can we visit your dance studio?" ”
"Of course, I'll be glad everyone can come."
"Then we're done."
"Sister Shiming, what about you?" Zhao Wenfeng looked at Wu Shiming with a blank eye.
"I might have to work overtime."
