Chapter 85: Urban Neon (1)

"Classmate, are you here?" The owner of the piano shop was carefully wiping the piano placed in the store with a shy general's belly, and when he saw Chen Rui, he immediately recognized this young customer who had left a deep impression on him.

"Well, boss, I'm here to pay the balance today." Chen Rui carelessly took out the prize money he received after winning the Lecheng Station of the Hundred Cities League this time from his backpack.

"Okay, I didn't expect you to really get it, I'll let someone pack it for you, leave me your home address, the service in our store is very thoughtful, free delivery." The boss smiled and put the balance on the money counter to check it three times, issued a receipt**, and then made a phone call to the cooperative freight company.

Put away **, Chen Rui walked around the huge store at will, his fingers brushed over the smooth top cover of a piano, and with the crisp doorbell of "Ding Dong", a graceful figure walked into the door, Chen Rui raised his head, and happened to touch Li Jiamei's looking gaze.

Looking at each other, the two were stunned for a moment at the same moment, and soon, Li Jiamei's face was even more indifferent than before, and Chen Rui shifted his gaze to other places with some embarrassment.

Since Chen Rui knew all the ins and outs of the matter, his heart was full of guilt for Li Jiamei, after all, his youth and ignorance deeply hurt a little girl's fragile heart, although he is only eighteen years old now.

"What does he know?" It was just a moment of eye contact, Li Jiamei still saw a clue from Chen Rui's eyes, pretending to approach the store casually, and the short and fat boss quickly greeted him and said to Li Jiamei: "This classmate, your classmate has already decided to leave the piano, or you can take a look at the others."

"Hmm!" Li Jiamei nodded, and her eyes began to wander over the other pianos in the store.

However, the area of the store is really limited, and after a big circle, the two still meet unexpectedly in the narrow corridor.

"Good morning." After hesitating for a moment, Chen Rui took the initiative to speak.

"Hmm!" Li Jiamei just nodded slightly.

"You're here to buy a piano too?" When this sentence was spoken, Chen Rui immediately realized his idiocy, in addition to buying pianos in the piano store, could it be that he came to buy food?

Li Jiamei stopped and said lightly: "If you have anything to say, just say it directly." ”

Chen Rui scratched the back of his head, the boss not far away pretended to calculate the accounts, but from time to time he looked sideways at this side, a pair of small eyes lit a raging fire of gossip, and a meaningful smile on the corner of his mouth seemed to Chen Rui Why was it so obscene?

Being watched with this kind of voyeuristic gaze, Chen Rui didn't know how to speak for a while.

The apology he imagined should be on a very formal occasion, which can not only highlight his sincerity, but also resolve the knot in Li Jiamei's heart more lightly.

"Congratulations on becoming the top student in the science college entrance examination in Lecheng!" In the end, it was Li Jiamei who spoke.

Chen Rui smiled awkwardly and said, "That, it's just a fluke, it's just a fluke." ”

Listening to Chen Rui's words, Li Jiamei's heart became more and more irritable, when the game was over that day, Li Jiamei knew that in the game "League of Legends", she would not be able to win against Chen Rui no matter what.

originally thought that the college entrance examination score could be higher than Chen Rui, so that she would feel better in her heart, but the result was that she scored 689 points, behind Chen Rui by two points.

As a girl, it is extremely difficult to get such a score in the college entrance examination as a science student, which should be a celebratory thing, but Li Jiamei is not happy at all.

Feeling a little depressed, she decided to hang out in the piano shop, ready to use the runner-up bonus plus her own private money to buy a piano of her choice, but she met Chen Rui again.

Listening to Chen Rui's humble words at all, they were so harsh in Li Jiamei's ears.

"Boss, send this piano to this address!" Li Jiamei quickly chose a piano that she had already fancied before, paid the full amount, wrote the address, and then fled and left here.

Looking at the back of Li Jiamei leaving in a hurry, Chen Rui shook his head and sighed secretly, at the same time, the small truck of the freight company had stopped at the door of the store, selling two pianos in one day, and the boss's oily face was full of happy smiles.

Li Jiamei watched Chen Rui's busy green figure in front of the pickup truck from a distance across the street not far away, gently pressing her chest, where her heart was beating non-stop.

She felt it, although it was only a simple conversation of less than three sentences, but she realized the apology inadvertently revealed in Chen Rui's words.

"Ji Yan, why do you want to have more things about me!" Li Jiamei was indignant in her heart, she had already guessed what Ji Yan must have said to Chen Rui, after the game that day, in the corner of the scene not far away, Li Jiamei saw Chen Rui and Ji Yan walk into the elevator together, and it was not until a long time that Ji Yan took the lead to leave.

In fact, what Li Jiamei hoped for most in her heart was Chen Rui bowing her head in front of her and sincerely apologizing, but when this qiē was really coming, Li Jiamei found that her heart was so flustered, as if she was not prepared at all.

"It's clear that he owes you, this is what he should do, why should you hold back?" Li Jiamei took a deep breath, quietly watched Chen Rui leave with the truck, and asked herself.

The piano was placed in the living room by Chen Rui, which made the originally small living room seem more cramped and cramped, but it made this already poor home full of artistic atmosphere.

When Chen Weiwei came home and saw her long-cherished beloved thing in the living room, she immediately wet her eyes, threw herself into Chen Rui's arms with a smile with tears of emotion, and strangled Chen Rui with her weak arms to the point of being almost out of breath.

"Mom, what do you think this is?" When He Xiangman, who was depressed, just opened the door, Chen Weiwei happily pointed to the piano in the living room and said.

"Where's the piano?" He Xiangman was taken aback and asked.

"My brother bought it for me, bought it with the money from his summer job, well, and I saved it myself over the years, and I also have a share!" Chen Weiwei looked at Chen Rui proudly and said with a smile.

He Xiangman knew that Chen Rui was away from home all day a few days ago because he went out to work for the summer vacation, but he didn't expect his son to earn so much money in a short period of time.

He Xiangman knows his son and daughter, since his daughter said that her brother got this piano by her own efforts, then it must be true.

When she hadn't reacted from the shock caused by this incident, Chen Weiwei couldn't wait to tell Chen Rui about winning the top prize in the Lecheng college entrance examination.

"Good, good! Mom is so proud of you! Seeing his children fighting so hard, He Xiangman's eyes were filled with tears of happiness, and the two of them were tightly held in his arms.

In his mother's warm arms, Chen Rui secretly vowed: "Mother, sister, I will definitely let you live a good life."

"You watch TV for a while, and I'll cook for you." He Xiangman wiped the tears on his face, and said weakly.

He Xiangman's busy figure shook on the glass sliding door of the kitchen, which also blocked her silent tears, and the noise during the stir-fry also cleverly concealed the whimpering sound in her throat.

He Xiangman held a spatula in his hand, and his shoulders shook involuntarily, "God, why do you treat Xiaowei like this!" She's just a kid, what's coming at me! Even if I trade this life for this, I don't care at all! He Xiangman shouted silently, not noticing that too much salt was introduced into the pot in the salt tank.

"Mom, what's wrong?" After lunch, Chen Rui frowned and asked, The fried shredded potatoes at noon today are too salty, which has never happened before, but fortunately, he and his sister did not say it very tacitly.

As soon as he finished eating, He Xiangman said that he was a little tired, and went back to his room alone to rest, Chen Rui leaned on the edge of the dishwashing sink, looking at Chen Weiwei who was trying to wash the dishes with her arms as white as jade.

"It should be too tired recently, it's okay, brother, you are busy with you, I will take care of you at home, let our mother have a good rest for a while." Chen Weiwei wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead and said with a smile.

"By the way, brother, what college are you going to apply for?" Chen Weiwei put away the washed dishes and chopsticks, dried her hands, and couldn't wait to sit in front of the piano and asked.

"HB University! Didn't I tell you that? Chen Rui responded.

Looking at the sweet gaze in his sister's eyes when she stroked the lid of the piano, Chen Rui also felt sweet in his heart.

"Dong ding" As Chen Weiwei's slightly rusty fingers jumped on the black and white keys, bursts of pleasant music began to sound, Chen Weiwei raised her head and said: "Brother, with your scores, you can go to Beiqing, the University of Hong Kong is not bad, I heard that the scholarship is quite high, why do you have to choose HB University?" ”

"Didn't I tell you why, little fool?" Chen Rui smiled and patted Chen Weiwei's head.

Because HB University has the best music department in the country, several famous pianists in China are from HB University, and there are even several world-renowned music professors, which are incomparable to other universities.

"I know, and I'm not a kid anymore! Don't keep touching my head, I won't grow tall. Chen Weiwei shook her head and said happily.

A few days later, Chen Rui returned home with the completed volunteer form and carefully checked the filled options, HB University, majoring in electronic information science and technology.

After checking that it was correct, Chen Rui called Mom, but did not respond.

At this time before, He Xiangman was definitely at home, and Chen Rui, who was puzzled, knocked on He Xiangman's door, and with a "squeak", the unlocked door was opened lightly.

"Where?" Chen Rui casually walked around the room, and was about to close the door with his backhand and leave, when he unexpectedly caught a glimpse of a snow-white form on the old dresser.

Curious, Chen Rui picked up the form and looked at it.

After a while, Chen Rui's fingers pinching the form turned slightly white from too much force, his chest heaved and heaved, and his eyes were full of disbelief, and a familiar name was written on his head in that form.

Chen Weiwei.

CLL, Chen Rui didn't understand the meaning of this abbreviation, but there was a clear note behind this abbreviation, and those words had been deeply engraved in his mind: chronic lymphocytic leukemia. I734
