Chapter 11: The Sound of the Piano
After three or four days, the body slowly recovered.
The rehearsal time is very long every day, and basically except for the class, it is in the rehearsal hall. But she didn't see Mo Xiao all this time.
It's like deliberately avoiding her.
He regretted it after all, didn't he? Or do you not want to see her at all?
The girl wrote a small word "summer" on the paper and hurriedly erased it. I wrote a smaller word "Xia" and erased it again.
Over and over again, a small hole has been worn out in the corner of the paper.
"Xue Ni...... Xue Ni ......"
Yang Guo beside her pushed the girl before she came back to her senses, "What do you want?" It's all out of class, let's go to dinner together. ”
Han Xueni came back to her senses and hurriedly straightened the books on the table, "Well, wait for me." ”
When he walked out of the classroom door, a figure appeared at the door in a hurry, almost bumping into the girl.
"Right...... I'm sorry. The boy shyly stumbled," this ...... This is for you. Before he finished speaking, the boy immediately gave the girl a small piece of note, and then disappeared like a wind.
Yang Guo on the side smiled: "This can't be a love letter, right?" That's too daring, isn't it? ”
Han Xueni unfolded the crumpled note.
After reading it carefully, I folded the small note well and put it in the palm of my hand.
The corners of the girl's mouth rose unconsciously, "Yang Guo, I won't be eating with you today, I have something." ”
"Wouldn't it? Is this really about you? Didn't you say that colleges don't think about it? Yang Guo smiled evilly and complained on the side: "Xueni, you are too unrighteous, right?" ”
Yang Yang the book in her hand, Han Xueni smiled: "I'll accompany you more next time." ”
"Okay, I wish you a lot of peach blossoms." Yang Guo pulls the bow in the shape of a cupid.
Han Xueni couldn't help but smile.
Three steps and two steps, the girls walked on the beautiful boulevard of the campus, and the autumn maple leaves fluttered and fluttered.
Han Xueni gently unfolded the note in her palm and carefully read the boy's handwriting.
Carefully fold it and place it flat on the title page of the book.
Thinking of the sudden hug that day, the corners of his mouth involuntarily rose, and he looked for clues countless times in his heart: Does he still like me?
The girl smiled at the bright rays of sunshine and walked quickly to the agreed place.
The sound of a piano came from the piano room.
The girl stood on her feet slightly.
The sound of the piano is not hurried, elegant and smooth.
The sun was shining, and in the halo she saw the boy sitting on the piano seat.
The boy raised his head slightly, "Coming?" ”
The girl's slight smile, with the warmth of the light, shone into the boy's heart, "Mo Xiao, what are you looking for me today?" ”
The boy was cramped and shy for a moment, "Another birthday gift, I didn't receive it that day, and I want to make it up to you today." ”
The boy sat on the piano bench and began his playing with some unconfidence.
When the first string of notes flowed out, Han Xueni was a little surprised and moved.
In fact, Mo Xiao also studied piano.
Although he didn't practice as long as he did on his own, he could do everything at all.
He passed the piano grade 7 in one time, and she took the piano exam twice to get the piano grade 8, so she felt very angry every time, and often tried to compare herself with Mo Xiao.
And Mo Xiao was miserable every time he accompanied her to practice the piano score to be examined.
And this Liszt's "Bell" is her favorite and the most difficult one, every time she makes a mistake while practicing, Mo Xiao always laughs at her for a long time.
When she finally passed the test, Mo Xiao was already familiar with this melody.
At this moment, the piano sound is melodious, and the wind gently lifts the skirt of the girl's dress.
As if he had a heart, he flicked it with four hands, and the tacit understanding was the same as before.
The girl didn't dare to look at the boy next to her in the open, but she couldn't stop secretly sweeping the boy with her afterglow.
There is a voice from the bottom of my heart that says so clearly:
"Summer Shaw, I like you."
It was already four o'clock in the afternoon when I returned to the dormitory, and the roommates who were sleeping with me were probably busy with their own work, and none of them were sleeping.
Han Xueni recalled everything that had just happened, and her happy mood couldn't help overflowing.
With headphones and listening to soothing music, I gradually became sleepy.
In a blur, a hurried bell rang, interrupting the peace.
Han Xueni glanced at the mobile phone display - uncle
"Hey, uncle." The tone is gentle and polite.
"Xueni, how is your physical study lately?"
"It's all pretty good, and the roommates are also very good, uncle, don't worry."
"Eun...... That's good," the voice on the other end of the phone paused, and continued to ring: "Xueni, is the monthly living allowance that my uncle called you enough?" ”
"Thank you, uncle, that's enough."
In fact, before the start of school, she had already started a work-study program.
The other end of the line suddenly became noisy, and then another voice rang, "Xue Ni, I'm my aunt." How is everything going at school? ”
"Very good, auntie."
"Oh, tomorrow is Friday, you come back for dinner, and my aunt will make you the fish you like to eat."
"Don't bother, Auntie, and there's club activity tomorrow."
The other end of the phone seemed unmoved, "You can ask for leave for club activities, remember to come back, my aunt is waiting for you, that's it, the phone bill is quite expensive." ”
Before she could finish speaking, the phone was already disconnected.
Han Xueni hung up the phone helplessly and looked at her fingertips blankly.
She rarely goes to her uncle's house, let alone eats at theirs. She usually only stays for one night on Saturdays, just to visit her mother.
More often than not, she just stayed in school, which had actually become her home since that incident, because of her, there was nowhere to go.
Since she was in high school, she began to force herself to be independent, and after that incident, it seemed to grow up overnight.
Grow up to think you can stand up to anything.
She no longer envies her classmates who can go home, because not going home has become her habit.
But this time her uncle's anxious call was a little unexpected for her.
I don't know if anything will happen.
Han Xueni was a little uneasy.
The next night.
As soon as Han Xueni stepped into the door, she saw her aunt waiting at the door, as if she was specially greeting her.
"Come in, come in, are you tired of coming back in the car? My aunt had already cooked the mung bean soup and sat down to rest first. Auntie's more enthusiastic behavior than usual made Han Xueni a little overwhelmed.
A bowl of mung bean soup was held in front of her, and Han Xueni took it with a smile.
"Drink quickly, drink quickly, relieve the heat first, and the meal will be ready immediately......"
Mung bean soup is very sweet, very cool, and very comfortable.
"You finish drinking and go see your mother, she's ...... Something to tell you. ”
Han Xueni paused with her hand holding the mung bean soup and nodded slightly.
"By the way, your mother hasn't drunk it yet, remember that when you went in, I brought her a bowl of mung bean soup, and my aunt went to the kitchen to get busy first, and I will call you when the meal is ready."
"Okay."
One of the most north-facing rooms. I can't get all the sunlight, and I always feel much darker than other places.
The middle-aged woman sat silently, looking intently at the already tattered sheet music in her hand.
"Mom, this is the mung bean soup cooked by my aunt, you drink a little."
"Put it there." The middle-aged woman didn't even lift her head.
As if she had long been accustomed to such indifference, Han Xueni obediently put the bowl on the coffee table beside her.
"Mom, my aunt said you have something to tell me."
Han Yingru raised her head, her face was delicate and beautiful, and the years had not left too many traces on her face.
"I'm going back to live next week, so you can tidy up your room when you have time."
The girl's body shook slightly, and she raised her head in surprise, "Mom, you want to ...... Went back? ”
Han Yingru also raised her head, stared at the girl in front of her, and said indifferently, "Do you think I want to go back?" ”
"I ...... Can we find a house outside and rent it? ”
The worn-out piano score smashed straight at the girl's feet, and Han Yingru in the wheelchair sneered: "What? You don't want to go back either? Don't want to meet him? ”
Han Xueni lowered her head lightly and replied obediently: "I don't." ”
"Actually, you don't have to go back. I don't want to see you there. ”
The only light in the room was shining through the curtains, but this light made Han Xueni feel cold.
The girl pulled out a small smile, "Got it." “
Why! The woman in the wheelchair clenched her left hand into a fist, why, why do you look so much like him when you laugh!
Isn't twenty-five years enough to undo the mistakes she made?
Suddenly, my heart seemed to be pinched by a pair of hands, "Get out, you get me out!" ”
Han Yingru shouted uncontrollably at her own daughter. As if eagerly, he shook the wheelchair with his back to the wall.
The uncle who heard the voice came over and said a little angrily, "Yingru...... What are you doing here, what do you have to say to Xueni, and if you talk about the things of the year, it's ......"
"Brother...... I don't want to talk about it anymore. ”
"Okay, brother, don't talk about it, don't talk about it." After that, there was a sigh.
This scar will not be able to scab over and heal after all.
"Okay, it's rare for Xue Ni to come to the house for dinner today. Come, let's have dinner. ”
Han Xueni cleaned up her mood and pushed her mother's wheelchair as usual, but was pushed away indifferently by the person on the seat, "I'll do it myself." ”
Han Xueni gently retreated to the back, her body trembling slightly, and her supple bangs slightly blocked her expression.
Without saying anything, touching the tip of her nose shallowly, Han Xueni smiled and responded to her uncle's enthusiasm and her own mother's coldness at the dining table.
A table of sumptuous dishes, but Han Xueni didn't know what kind of taste she should eat.
After eating, my aunt brought out the cut fruit and said with a smile: "Xue Ni won't go back today, just stay at her uncle's house." ”
Han Xueni was stunned and smiled sweetly, "Auntie, there happens to be a roommate who didn't come home today, and I have to go back to accompany her today, she may be scared alone." ”
"In this case, then you must pay attention to safety."
"Aunt, don't worry, the school is very safe, and there will be no problems."
After eating the fruit, Han Xueni wanted to go back to school early in the morning, so she got up and said, "Uncle and aunt, I'll go first." ”
My uncle and aunt also got up and responded, "Pay attention to safety on the road." ”
"Mom...... I'm leaving. ”
After dinner, Han Yingru returned to her room without saying a word.
When Han Xueni thought she couldn't hear her response, she replied softly: "En"
The footsteps gradually walked away, and Han Lu walked to his sister's room, "Yingru, this child is well-behaved and sensible, and what happened back then was not her fault at all." ”
Han Yingru came back to her senses from staring, "Brother, I know that what happened back then was my fault, if it wasn't for me...... I ......"
Han Lu sighed and comforted his sister: "It's not your fault what happened back then, you have been holding on to this mistake for more than 20 years, and you should let it go." ”
Han Yingru put her head deep into the crook of her arm, "Brother, I can't forget, as long as I see her, I will never forget ......"
After hearing this, Han Lu hammered his chest in annoyance, "It's my brother who is not good, it's my brother who is not good, so that you have to go back to that place again." Since you can't let it go, brother will go and tell your sister-in-law now. ”
Han Yingru immediately stopped him, "Brother, in fact, I've been thinking about it all this time, I've been hiding from you for more than 20 years, and it's time to try to face it." ”
"But you ......"
Han Yingru smiled self-deprecatingly: "I don't know what will happen, I always have to come, in fact, I ...... I miss him a little bit too. ”
Han Lu took his sister's hand, "If it's uncomfortable, come back and live." Also, be nice to Cherny, after all, she's your child. ”
Han Yingru wanted to cry and laugh when she heard this, and suddenly felt that her eyes were hazy with tears, "Brother, what do you say I should do to her, what should I do to her?" ”
Han Lu gently stroked his sister's hair with his hand, but he didn't know how to comfort her.
This time, Xiaoyan said that they were going to come back from other places, and it was said that the business investment was not ideal, so they planned to go home to live.
It is estimated that Yingru insisted on going back to live after hearing the quarrel between their husband and wife.
A room that she hasn't stepped into for more than twenty years, is this decision to let her go completely or is it more painful......
Han Lu himself said that it was not clear.
