Chapter 70: Piano Solo

Qi'er put down the chopsticks in her hand, stretched her waist, and said, "Okay! I'm full! ”

"Are you full?" Jingzhi glanced at Qi'er with questioning eyes, "You're a little abnormal today, you don't eat as much as usual!" ”

"That's right!" Qi'er stuck out her tongue, "I have to go to work this afternoon, I can't eat too much, it's going to be uncomfortable!" ”

"You're going to work!" Jingzhi said with some excitement, "I didn't sleep much last night, and I have been busy this morning all the time, and I will go to work later, can your body withstand it?" ”

"Don't worry!" Qi'er smiled and said, "Today's shift is from 2 to 6 pm, the store is not too busy, and it won't be particularly tired!" ”

"That's fine," Jingzhi relaxed a little and glanced at her watch, "It's almost half past one now, when are you going to go?" ”

"I'm going to pack my things now and get ready to go!" Qi'er thought for two seconds and said to Jingzhi, "Don't forget, there are desserts!" ”

After saying that, Qi'er stood up and apologized to Chris and said, "Chris, I'm sorry, I'm going to work, I have to go first!" The next time you come to our house, I will make you something to eat and treat you well! ”

"It's okay," Chris said with a smile on his red lips, "thank you for cooking for me today." These dishes taste very good. I like it very much. Thank you! ”

"Hah! If you like it, I'll make it for you another day! Qi'er waved her hand lightly and said, "Goodbye!" ”

Chris stood up, waved his hand, and said, "Goodbye!" ”

Qi'er returned to her room, quickly packed her things, and left the old apartment.

After Qi'er leaves, Chris asks Jingzhi curiously, "Where does Qi'er work?" ”

"In a small restaurant owned by an Englishman. I forgot to ask her for the exact name......"

"And how did you meet?" Chris continued.

"We?" Jingzhi smiled, "I rented this entire apartment first, and posted a message on the Internet that I wanted to find a roommate to share a room with. Eventually, Qi'er moved in and stayed with me. That's how we met. ”

"That's interesting!" Chris exclaimed, "It's amazing how people are connected! ”

Jingzhi took two sips of seaweed egg drop soup and said, "I agree!" ”

Chris swallowed the beef in his mouth, nodded, and said, "The fate between us is the same, it's really amazing. Don't you think so? ”

"It's amazing!" Jingzhi smiled and nodded, "Thank you today!" Did me a big favor! ”

"Please don't say that," Chris looked at Jingzhi affectionately, "It's my honor to serve a beautiful girl like you......"

Chris's burning gaze made Jingzhi feel "frightened". She had to stand up, take a deep breath, and say, "I...... I'll go to the kitchen and get you a cake baked by Kier......"

After saying that, Jingzhi ran into the kitchen like a fly and brought two plates of cakes.

Jingzhi and Chris ate the cake quietly, and neither of them said a word.

The poor two little cakes, as soon as they were "cultivated into positive fruits" in the oven, were eaten by Jingzhi and Chris little by little.

Chris finished the cake on his plate and said calmly, "I'm full." ”

"I'm full, too." As she spoke, Jingzhi pointed to the empty plate in her hand, "My cake is much more naughty than yours." It can't wait' to run into my stomach! ”

"Haha!" Chris was amused by Jingzhi, "That's because you're more attractive!" The cake on your plate can't wait to get into your stomach! ”

"Really?" Jingzhi said half-incredulously, "I think you must be a little tired." Please go to the couch and rest first, and let me 'clean up the mess' by myself." ”

Chris wanted to help, but he was afraid of upsetting Jingzhi, so he had to give up.

Jingzhi's movements were very fast, and it didn't take long to restore the dining table to its original state, clean up the kitchen, and clean all the used tableware and place it neatly.

Jingzhi finished her work, took off her apron, folded it, and put it away.

When she walked into the living room again, she found Chris sitting in front of the piano with the lid open, as if she was about to play a song.

"Do you know how to play the piano?" Jingzhi asked Chris in surprise.

Chris didn't expect Jingzhi to be surprised, so he just replied with a few words: "Yes, I will." ”

"In that case, can you play me a tune now?" Jingzhi asked expectantly.

"Absolutely." Chris said calmly, "Which tune would you like to hear?" ”

When the two of them were talking just now, Jingzhi had already walked up to Chris's side.

Chris turned, looked up, and looked at Jingzhi affectionately.

Jingzhi also lowered her head and glanced at Chris, and the two pairs of eyes were facing each other, which made Jingzhi stunned for a moment.

Jingzhi had never looked at a pair of British eyes so closely. To her, Chris's eyes were like jewels, and his wide eyelids were the lids of the box, which, once opened, allowed for an unobstructed glimpse of the "treasures" inside.

Chris's long, golden eyelashes followed the movement of the upper eyelids and gently patted the lying silkworm under the eyeballs, with doubts and requests in his eyes.

He was asking for Jingzhi's opinion. He was so pious, at this moment, he just wanted to play for the oriental girl with long hair hanging down her shoulders standing beside him.

"Which tune do you like?" Jingzhi asked rhetorically, "Play whichever song you usually like to play." ”

Jingzhi doesn't want to be difficult at all. Although her favorite piece is Beethoven's "Symphony of Destiny", she did not dare to say it.

After all, this piece is so difficult that Chris may not have practiced it at all. If she said it rashly and Chris couldn't play, the scene could be very embarrassing.

"How about Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata?" Chris spoke in a small voice, as if afraid to break the brief silence in the room.

"Moonlight Sonata! Beethoven's masterpiece! All right! I love Beethoven! Jingzhi smiled lightly, saying that she was very happy and looking forward to it.

I remember when I was in high school, there was a chapter in my English textbook dedicated to pianists from all over Europe. At that time, Jing Zhi memorized the names of many European pianists. Jingzhi vaguely remembers that the German name "Beethoven" has a very strange pronunciation.

Just now, Jingzhi heard an Englishman pronounce out a German name, and it still sounded awkward.

Chris stopped talking, just gently resting his hands on the keyboard.

Soon, the heavy strings were gently struck, and the sound was mellow and poetic, gently caressing the sand on the shore like ocean waves, gently kissing every grain of sand.

When Beethoven composed the "Moonlight Sonata", he poured out many very delicate emotional expressions.

Since she was a child, Jingzhi has loved watching piano performances. In a concert hall that can seat thousands of people, the stage is still some distance from the audience.

Now, with the performer at hand, Jingzhi stands there, her arm slightly raised, and she can easily touch the performer's shoulders, which rise and fall slightly with the music.

Haha, this is definitely the VVV of the concert...... VIP location! It's amazing!

Listening to the beautiful music, a peaceful lake suddenly appeared in Jingzhi's mind, and a white swan flew from a distance in the sky and stopped in the middle of the lake. The reeds by the lake swayed in the wind, as if beating rhythmically.

At this moment, Jingzhi enjoyed this series of beautiful notes and danced gracefully into her ears, all the way into her mind, turning into a gorgeous rainbow in the center of the lake.

Fearing that she would stand too far forward and disturb the people who were playing, she took a few steps back and stood behind Chris and watched his back.

Chris's back image is a thin Buddha statue, sacred and solemn, swaying slightly with the movement of his hands on the keys.

Gradually, all the scenes that had just appeared in Jingzhi's mind disappeared, and were replaced by a figure that was both familiar and unfamiliar: Jason!

How she longed to be the one who sat next to the piano was him, the one she fell in love with at first sight: Jason!
