In the days that followed, Shen Yuanyuan never missed school classes again, and on weekends he continued to rub Zhou Minggao's small stove with Cui Yan as usual. She also went to see He Wenli once, and her mother was very surprised to see her coming, made her several dishes she loved to eat, and pulled her for a while.

Suffice it to say that everything is going in the direction of preference. Not only did Shen Yuanyu not collapse, but he seemed to be more talkative, laughing, and optimistic than before. But Zhou Minggao knew that she should have a lot of bad emotions in her heart, but she felt that she should be sensible and didn't want to be sorry for what others had done to her, so she held on desperately. Afraid that she would suddenly not be able to bear it one day, Zhou Minggao has been trying to find some reason to make her happy.

Finally, this weekend, Zhou Minggao asked her out of the house and said that he would take her to the piano store for an afternoon.

"If you don't practice anymore, you'll be rusty." He said, "I haven't touched a guitar for a long time, and I guess Little Star has forgotten how to play it." ”

"There's been a lot going on lately, and I've been so busy that I've forgotten everything." Shen Yuan walked beside him, speaking in a very ordinary tone, "Hey, speaking of which, the group chat of that piano shop doesn't seem to have moved much recently, and I don't know what Zhang Yue is busy with." ”

"What can you be busy with? There are only a few of us who go there more frequently, and we haven't been going there recently, so I'm afraid he's going to close the door. ”

Shen Yuanyuan knew that Zhou Minggao was deliberately teasing her, and smiled very cooperatively.

They continued to walk side by side, leaving two clear rows of footprints in the snow. The sound of the snow creaking as they stepped on it sounded very decompressing.

When they arrived at the door of the piano shop, they found that the piano shop was not open for business today.

When I got closer, I realized that it was not a normal business, but it seemed to be closed—the word "exchange" was posted on the door. Shen Yuan was stunned, and when she looked at Zhou Minggao, she found that he was also stunned.

"No...... Zhou Minggao muttered, "...... I'm crow's mouth? ”

Shen Yuanyuan took two steps forward, looked at the notice of the exchange in a daze, and took out his mobile phone to match the contact information on it with Zhang Yue's mobile phone number.

That was indeed his cell phone number.

"What's going on......" she frowned, "no, I'm going to give him a call." ”

Zhou Minggao didn't object, and stood next to her waiting for her to dial the phone. The phone was not connected, and just as Shen Yuanyu wanted to dial it a second time, an aunt passing by noticed them.

"You're the students here?"

Zhou Minggao nodded, "Yes, Auntie, do you know what's going on?" We have not received any notice that the piano shop is closing. ”

"Didn't you get a refund for your tuition?"

"No......" Shen Yuan wanted to refute, but Zhou Minggao gave her a look, and she immediately shut up in understanding.

Zhou Minggao said, "Yes, we just paid the tuition and haven't used it yet, what's going on?" He knew that nothing good had happened, otherwise his aunt would not have this disgusted expression. If they were Zhang Yue's friends at this time, they would definitely not be able to inquire about anything.

"Ahem! I knew that this is what scum does. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Shen Yuan was a little angry. This time, she ignored Zhou Minggao's eyes and asked directly.

"The owner of this piano shop is in love with the students. That's still an underage girl! And the boss himself is a family person, and his daughters are three years old, so you say that this person is shameless, but it's really scary. After the aunt finished speaking, she still felt that it was not enough, and she sighed for a while.

Zhang Yue's image in Shen Yuanyu's heart has always been very good, of course she doesn't believe this aunt's words. "How is that possible? Are you just spreading rumors without evidence? ”

"I'm spreading rumors? Little girl, just a few days ago, the proprietress came to catch the rapist, and there was a lot of uproar, and there is nothing I don't know about this piece. If you want to say that you don't do a bad thing, you are not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, they did it themselves, no, they don't have the face to come out to meet people, and the store is gone. ”

Shen was shocked and angry, and tears were about to come out. She naturally lost the mood to talk to her aunt more, and stubbornly dialed Zhang Yue's phone. Zhou Minggao said to his aunt on the side, "Thank you, Auntie, let's contact this boss again." ”

"Okay, then you call slowly, I guess he won't answer." After the aunt finished speaking, she shook her head, and then turned to leave.

After the aunt left, Shen Yuanyuan stood in front of the piano shop and made a long, long call, and Zhou Minggao stood with her like this. But until her hands and the tip of her nose were frozen red, and her mobile phone was about to run out of battery due to being in the cold environment for a long time, her phone could not be connected. Finally unable to hold back her emotions, she squatted on the ground and cried.

Zhou Minggao didn't say anything to comfort or dissuade, but just stepped forward and patted her back again and again, letting her vent.

Although it didn't make her happy as expected, it was better to let her vent her emotions than to keep it in her heart.

Later that day, Zhang Yue pushed Zhou Minggao's unused tuition fees to him from WeChat, and then deleted him. Shen Yuanyuan's tuition has run out, so even if she sent a lot of questions to Zhang Yue that were not too exciting, he didn't talk to her, and even blocked her directly after receiving her message. Shen Yuanxuan was very puzzled, she asked Zhou Minggao, "Aren't I friends with him?" Why didn't he explain it to me when I asked him? ”

Of course, Zhou Minggao understood in his heart that Zhang Yue would not really treat a little girl like Shen Yuanyuan as a friend, maybe she would be the next prey. Not to mention the curl, even he regarded Zhang Yue as a good person before, and he really couldn't be a good person.

But of course he wouldn't just say these cruel and straightforward words directly to Shen Yuan.

- Although she is no longer the age to be called a little girl, in her eyes at this time, the world is still beautiful and simple, and he doesn't want those dirty things to enter her eyes. Although she will have to grow up one day, as long as he can protect her, he doesn't want her to see too much darkness.

So, he just replied to her, "Maybe he's just embarrassed to face us, or doesn't want to ruin the image in our hearts." ”

Before the group chat in the piano store was disbanded, Zhou Minggao clicked in again and took a final look. He saw that the girl named Li Xinyuan changed her profile picture to black, and knew in his heart that she was probably the girl who was in love with Zhang Yue. He clicked into her circle of friends and saw that only one of the ten news messages visible to her strangers - all of them were her summarised accusations against Zhang Yue, writing how he lied to her that he had no family, and how he left her after things became uncontrollable. The words are sad, like weeping blood.

Zhou Minggao sighed and accidentally clicked out. When he wanted to watch it again, the group chat had already been disbanded, and he no longer had a way to see Li Xinyuan's dynamics.
