12. No-show
Early the next morning, Yang Chen appeared downstairs in Liang Lei's dormitory as scheduled, in addition to the milk that was at the usual temperature, there was also a ticket for the upcoming concert of the Conservatory.
"You're coming, aren't you?" seemed to be uneasy, and had other expectations, tangled again and again, Yang Chen still asked.
"Well, Thursday night. I don't have a class, I'll go. Liang Lei glanced at the time on the ticket and nodded.
"Okay, that's settled." Receiving her affirmative reply, the boy let out a long sigh of relief and put his hand in his pocket.
"Why are you so serious, it's not like I haven't seen you play the piano." I have to admit that the words of those people in the same bedroom last night more or less affected me, Liang Lei unconsciously looked at Yang Chen in front of her.
Indeed, he is now a earth-shaking change from when he first met. After the braces were removed, it seemed that even the shape of his face had changed slightly, and the contours were clear. Now he uses contact lenses more often, so the big black frame on his face is rarely seen, and his dignified facial features are clear and three-dimensional, although it is not unforgettable, it is really handsome and good-looking, coupled with his unique musical temperament, it makes people can't help but have the urge to look at it twice. It seems that in the past year, his exercise has been very effective, and now even through the white shirt, his muscles can be looming. The most annoying thing is, hasn't he grown taller again? Why is standing in front of him now, only below his chin, and he has to look up. Hum!
The boy's face suddenly turned red again, Liang Lei's eyes were a little dizzy when he looked at him, and he unconsciously began to arrange his hair and clothes, "What's wrong?" Do I have a problem with something? "I'm most afraid that she will sigh and say: Yang Chen, can you comb your hairstyle neatly; Yang Chen, can you wear clothes that fit, don't be so big; Yang Chen, can you wash your face before you go to school; Jody......
Liang Lei was also pulled back to reality in an instant by his sudden question. What happened just now? I actually thought he was handsome and charming for a moment! Bah!
A frog is a frog, it is impossible to become a prince, fairy tales are all lies. No way, the first look he gave her was so terrifying that I can't bear to think of that scene until today.
"It's nothing, you go back to class. I'm going to go up and pack up and get ready for class. Walking up, although he was a head shorter than him, he still patted him on the shoulder like an elder, and said to himself in his heart: Yang Chen, you should still be my 'little brother'.
Although the boy was a little inexplicable, the heat of her palm spread from her shoulder to her heart, and she still twitched unexpectedly.
As soon as she entered the bedroom door, she saw Zhu Fan coming out of the bathroom while wearing a mask, and she spoke first: "Why did you take a milk for so long today?" β
"Well, we talked a couple of words." Put the ticket on the table, open the milk and drink it first.
"What is this?" Zhou Yuan, who was also wearing a mask, also walked over. "Concert tickets, he gave you?"
"Hmm." replied vaguely, Liang Lei didn't like to talk when she drank milk.
"Alas! Envy! He'll give you one, I don't know there are four people in our bedroom, it's too stingy. Zhou Yuan unhappily put the ticket back on the table.
"Don't talk, your face is so big that you can't even cover the mask." Tang Ruru's voice came faintly from her bed, fortunately, she was used to it, when she first moved in, Liang Lei was always frightened and trembling by her sudden voice, she didn't speak, and she always couldn't notice that there was still a person lying on the bed reading a book.
"Tang Ruru !!" Zhou Yuan shouted, and the mask fell off smoothly, but fortunately, his eyes were quick, he caught it, and put it back on.
Liang Lei was silent, sucking the milk quietly, lowered her head to sort out her book, and put the ticket into the book again......
On Thursday night, Liang Lei was sitting in the library quietly looking at a book, when suddenly the phone lit up, showing that it was Yang Chen calling. Sighing, looking up at the surroundings so quiet that there was only the sound of flipping books, he stood up, took his phone, and walked outside. The phone remained on in her palm until it finally went out.
Standing in the hallway looking at the phone, still struggling with whether to pull it back, the phone rang again.
"Hello?"
"Where are you?"
"I'm in the school library."
"Why didn't you come tonight?"
"I ...... I wasn't feeling well, so I didn't go. β
"I'm at the gate of your school."
"Is your concert over?"
"No, my show is over, so I'm coming to you."
ββ¦β¦ Well, you wait for me. β
For some reason, tonight, Liang Lei's heart was a little uneasy. Indeed, she released his pigeon and temporarily gave the ticket to Zhang Yuan. He's angry! However, what's so angry about this, in the morning class, a frog was dissected, and the frog was still intact on the stage, and then it was she who almost collapsed. I also hate myself, and Zhang Yuan has been muttering in her ear for the past two days, so I simply gave her the ticket, and it is better to have someone go for me than to waste this ticket.
Slowly dangling to the school gate, sure enough, I saw Yang Chen, who was wearing a white shirt and trousers and leather shoes, with a suit on his arm, leaning alone under the street lamp, looking a little lonely. He should have done a hairstyle and changed his clothes today, after all, for such a performance, it is really important to wear it.
Watching Liang Lei walk slowly, she stood up straight and stood in place: "Are you feeling better?" β
"Huh?" I didn't react for a while. "Well, it's much better, old problem." couldn't help sighing, I didn't expect that I was so young, and I already had an 'old problem'.
I took out my phone and looked at the time, and said, "Why don't you go to my place for a supper, you will definitely not be able to eat properly if you commit that 'old problem'." β
He understood her 'old problem', even if he had a thousand words, he didn't want to say anything more when he saw her extraordinarily white face under the street lamp.
"What do you have to eat?" Liang Lei tilted her head and asked very seriously.
Yang Chen was stunned again, looked down at her innocent eyes like a fawn, and laughed. "Whatever you want to eat, I can conjure it up."
"Well, then what are you waiting for, let's go." Once again, I set off in earnest......
It wasn't a long walk to his rental cabin, and he was riding his bike, and she was sitting in the back, having learned to tug at the corners of his clothes. I still remember the first time I got on his bike, it was full of excitement and excitement. It's no wonder, because her father didn't let her learn to ride since she was a child, first, she felt unsafe, and second, most of the class time was picked up by her father or mother, which was completely unnecessary. She was also not allowed to take a motorcycle or battery car, which her father said was 'meat wrapped in iron', the most unsafe means of transportation.
Along the way, no one spoke, letting the evening breeze blow through the ends of their hair and caressing their cheeks. Liang Lei is very enjoying the moment, thinking that there will be delicious food, and her mood will improve. Especially at night, the road was quiet, except for the occasional car or two that flashed by.
He rode very slowly, and she sat very firmly, and sang a song:
Only in the middle of the night
I and you can
Open your soul
Go unleash the naΓ―ve
Put a gentle kiss
In the middle of the night
Turned into a song
Snuggle up to your heart
I pray for the stars
Yue'er came to testify
Spend a lifetime
Also willing to wait
There will come a time
Make your wish perfect
Take you on a run for eternity
The boy felt the temperature coming from behind his back, listened to the song like heaven, and had only one thought: the years are so quiet, and he would rather stay at this time for the rest of his life......
This is not the first time to come to Yang Chen's cabin, Liang Lei is already a frequent visitor here, as soon as she enters the door, she still pours into the 'My Neighbor Totoro' lazy sofa specially prepared for her by Yang Chen, snuggles in her arms, and exhales a long breath: comfortable!
There is no room here, only a hall, a kitchen and a bathroom, and Yang Chen never spends the night here.
In the past half a year, Liang Lei learned that Yang Chen was actually a hidden rich second generation, his 'unlucky' father had become an upstart in the past few years, and he couldn't take care of his son, and he wanted to make up for it. In his opinion, the best way is to give money, and give a lot of money.
Once, when the two were eating, Liang Lei said that she was embarrassed to always eat him, and Yang Chen waved his hand when he heard it and said that he could eat whatever he wanted, and he couldn't eat for a few dollars. After a few more words, Liang Lei found that his monthly living expenses were at least ten times more than his own. After the exclamation, it's really not very polite, anyway, he is so rich, he doesn't eat for nothing. But apart from eating and drinking him, he did not spend his money anywhere else.
Later, she found out that Yang Chen actually knew how to manage money, and the huge living expenses given to him by his father were not only not less under him, but also slowly gave birth to money. If it weren't for the two years of getting along, she would not have believed that a boy who is engaged in art still has such a mind and ideas.
In contrast, I am much weaker in this regard. Although she has never been short of money since she was a child, her parents are still strict with their money, for fear that girls will learn to squander, let alone instill in her the concept of money.
Glancing at the girl half-lying on the sofa squinting her eyes and enjoying herself, the corners of Yang Chen's mouth couldn't help but grin, shook his head, rolled up his sleeves and walked into the kitchen: "Is it good to eat seafood noodles for supper?" β
"Well, a lot of shrimp." He didn't raise his head, and replied in a muffled voice.
"Good! Put a lot of shrimp on you. β
