Chapter 258: Love
Leon, who finally reacted, hurriedly stepped forward and replied childishly: "My future wife doesn't need to worry about this problem. Don't forget the 20-year-old bet, I'll prove it to you. (See the end of Chapter 240 here.)
Xing'er didn't reply, and waved his hand, "I told you, the previous condition doesn't count." I'm not going to embarrass you. With that, she continued to lead Leon to the third floor.
On the third floor is the Lu family's concert hall and party space, full of instruments that look like a small symphony orchestra preparation room.
Leon followed in Xing'er's footsteps, still wondering what to do with her. She said that Leon should be relieved to give up the unequal treaty, and he is indeed relieved, but it seems to be mentioned elsewhere.
It is estimated that he was angered by Xing'er's words. Before he could organize his thoughts for a counterattack, he was stunned by the instrument in front of him.
Behind the Leon self-directed drum kit, he picked up the drumstick and gently knocked it a few times.
"Is this your brother's play?" Leon asked curiously.
"He'll be a little bit too. But this is my sister's. Xing'er's face was full of pride, of course she felt that no matter what kind of girl she could have a relationship with Lu Yichen, she was lucky, including Vivian. But she firmly believes that any boy can be favored by Fei'er, and even more favored by God. Fei'er is the pride of the whole family.
"We both learned the piano when we were young, and my sister played it the best. She also plays strings. The other three of us all focused on strings later on. ”
Leon's eyes followed the stars to the cellos and violins on the wall.
"Do you guess I play the cello or the violin?" Xing'er winked at Leon playfully, "There is a prize for guessing correctly." ”
Leon is not interested in the "award" that Xing'er said and is even a little afraid, and always feels that her so-called "award" will most likely be a pit. Still, he was coincidentally guessed, "Violin." ”
"Hahaha, that's what almost everyone guesses. Everyone thinks I don't have the temperament to play the cello. Xing'er didn't reveal the mystery directly.
"So what?" Leon asked.
Xing'er opened the cello box, took out the piano, and with affection in her eyes, she caressed her comrade-in-arms who had been with her for many years, and proudly told Leon: "This is my piano, made by Collin-Mézin himself." We went to France as a family mainly to buy it, and travel was secondary. ”
In the next second, Leon clearly saw that her eyes had changed, and she seemed to be a different person in front of her, and her eyes revealed a calm as clear as a lake that Leon had never seen. Leon was also in a trance for a while, not knowing how many faces she had.
Xing'er pulled her long hair aside and sat down quietly, she simply twisted the strings below, fortunately, the cello is a new piano so that it is easy to run the strings, Xing'er is much luckier than many piano friends to have such an artifact.
With a few simple twists, the melodious sound of the piano flowed through her slender fingers, and the smart, jumping notes powerfully presented a picture that Leon didn't know how to describe.
Leon has never heard this song, but people always say that music has no borders probably means this, Xing'er uses her piano voice to present a world to Leon, this song, full of love, affection, shyness, reluctance, struggle, sadness, freedom, all the joys and sorrows of the world, all these complex emotions he can feel.
After the song, he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time. Xing'er gently lowered the bow in her hand and looked at Leon seriously, "Can you tell me what you heard?" ”
Leon seriously replied: "Love, love that you can't ask for." It's very much like his state of mind, that's why he was so deeply touched.
Xing'er walked up to Leon, stretched out her hand and waved for him to bend down, "Goodboy, I can't see that you still have musical literacy." ”
Leon was teasing her like a child or... The pet-like action is very speechless.
Before he could ask, Xing'er told the story of the song.
"This is an adaptation of the poignant love story "Liang Zhu", which is familiar to Chinese." Xing'er simply tells this poignant love story that is known as the swan song of the ages.
This kind of mythical love tragedy is completely different from Western culture, and Leon listens to it but is puzzled.
Looking at the confusion on his face, Xing'er smiled with relief: "Don't be confused. Not to mention you, I don't know much about the culture of the East. ”
"If you are not even afraid of death, where will there be a love that has been separated?" Xing'er looked at Leon firmly, interpreting her understanding of love.
"Do you believe in fate?" Xing'er suddenly threw out another question, "It's the lover that fate arranged for you that only belongs to you." ”
Leon is a man, and he has never thought of this kind of girlish feelings, and he doesn't know how to answer for a while.
"I think I'm quite conflicted. I think that's a bit irrational in itself. Whoever has left in this world should be able to live well. Anyway, I can't understand the kind of people who are looking for death and life when they break up. But sometimes when I look at my dad and my mom, I feel as if I should believe in fate. Xing'er shrugged, and she didn't have an answer.
"Alright, let's go back to my room and get some rest. Also, I will arrange the things you promised. Thank you for fulfilling my filial piety, my mother will be very happy. Xing'er sincerely thanked Leon.
The two of them went downstairs together. Originally, he had a headache thinking of a meeting with a group of aunt fans, but after listening to what Xing'er said, he was full of respect for Mother Lu at the moment. A good mother who loves her children so much deserves to be respected.
Thinking of this, he was relieved, and his "fiancée" also promised to protect him from being "bullied", so what else is there to worry about?
As soon as they got downstairs, they saw Lu's mother walking towards them with a cut fruit bowl.
"Leon, these are your favorite fruits, take them back to your room and get some rest." Lu's mother looked at Leon's eyes and was really closer to her own son.
"Mom, are you going to pay attention to your discipline? You didn't allow us to eat in the room from childhood to adulthood, how can you break the rules for him? Xing'er protested dissatisfiedly, "He took this fruit plate, so what should I eat?" ”
"Wash yourself." Mother Lu looked at Leon with a gentle face that didn't change at all, which made him a little embarrassed, so he could only take the fruit plate and pull Xing'er to his guest room together.
"I can't finish eating alone, let's go together." After saying that, he ran away, instinctively telling him that it was best not to be left alone...
Walking into the room, he was relieved to lock the door.
