Chapter 11: A Quiet Night
"Brother Lin, can you think of a way tomorrow, I really can't hold on, today you still lead the team to train, I'm already so tired, if the instructor himself goes on tomorrow, I'm really afraid that my more than 200 pounds of fat will be explained in the stadium." Lying on the bed, Chubby said to Lin Huan weakly.
"What can I do? Otherwise, you faint and fall to the ground directly during military training tomorrow, and I guess the counselor will never let you train again in the future. Lin Huan didn't feel tired at all at the end of the day, but for Xiaopang, just standing there for a day was like missing half a life.
"That's right, when the time comes, I'll say I'm suffering from heat stroke, and you'll have to cooperate with me tomorrow..."Chubby said as he ate a snack.
"Okay, as long as you pretend to be like, I will definitely cooperate." Lin Huan saw that Xiaopang was still eating snacks, and couldn't help but shake his head, it was time to run at night.
Lin Huan jogged with headphones and dialed his sister's phone. I don't know if my sister is still used to living at school these days?
"Brother, are you done now?" Lin Yihan's voice was very pleasantly surprised, she went back to the dormitory after evening self-study, the dormitory in high school is not as good as the university, there are eight people living in a dormitory, it seems a little crowded, Lin Yihan's academic performance is very good, but he is introverted and not good at communication, so even with his roommates in the same dormitory, he usually doesn't have much to say.
"Well, are you still used to living at the school these days?"
"It's okay, it's just that the dormitory is too small, and I don't like to go out, so it's a little boring to stay in the dormitory." Lin Yihan was listening to music in the dormitory alone, and she only went to eight o'clock in the evening self-study, and those students were bored in the classroom all day, and basically went out to have fun, so she was the only one in the dormitory. However, she was afraid that her brother would worry, so she said: "Actually, it's okay, it's good to get used to it after a while." What are you doing now? Is military training fun? Lin Yihan heard his brother say that they were going to start military training the day before yesterday, and he was very curious.
"For your brother and me, it's fun, but for some people with poor physical fitness, it's not fun but guilty. Don't stay in the dormitory, I'm running now, you can also go to the playground, the playground is crowded now, it should be quite lively. Lin Huan knew that Lin Yihan was too lazy, and she didn't have to think about it to know that she must be half-lying on the bed listening to music now.
"Brother, it's not like you don't know, I don't like to be lively." Lin Yihan didn't want to go out at all, when she was at home before, her brother would occasionally forcibly pull herself up when he was exercising, but every time she walked slowly behind, sometimes she would let her brother carry her back when she was tired, and Lin Huan didn't force her to come and go.
"How many people do you live in the girls' dormitory, is it the same as the boys' dormitory, and there are eight people?" Lin Huan suddenly remembered that he had lived in the dormitory of high school before, and the conditions were really not good, a small house was divided into bunk beds, and there were eight people living in it, and he was so bored that he panicked. Not to mention that my sister's personality is so introverted, and she must not be used to living with so many people.
"Yes, eight people, but fortunately I live in the top bunk, and no one disturbs me when I fall asleep at night." Lin Yihan complained that she hadn't lived in the dormitory much before.
Lin Huan knew that his sister's sleep quality was not good, and it could even be said that it was very poor, and a little wind and grass could wake her up. He didn't know why they were all born to the same parents, why his body was so good, but Lin Yihan's body was so bad.
"Yihan, if you don't do this, you hold on for two more days, I'll write an application to the dormitory manager, and I won't live in the dormitory in the future, let's go home and live like before." Lin Huan thought for a while and said, now that Lin Yihan is so thin, it is estimated that she does not eat well at school, and she will definitely be thinner and thinner in the long run, and her body will get worse and worse. If she goes home to live, although it is a little troublesome, at least I can cook some nutritious meals for her at night and sleep better.
"No, it's too much trouble, and you'll have to run around every day." Lin Yihan refused, although she also wanted to go home to live, but in that case, her brother would have to pick him up every night during self-study, and he would have to send himself to school early in the morning, and then he would go to his own school, which would be too troublesome.
"It's not troublesome, weren't we all like this before? I decided it happily. ”
"But that was before, we were in the same school."
"Okay, okay, I'll pick you up the night after tomorrow when you study at night." Lin Huan couldn't help but make a decision.
"Okay, then I want you to make me food every night in the future, the school meal is really not delicious." Lin Yihan said coquettishly.
"Okay, try to raise you to a hundred catties before the Chinese New Year this year."
"You think you raise pigs?" Lin Yihan smiled angrily.
"By the way, you take the time to call your parents, they said some time ago that they would come back for your birthday."
"I've already called it, and my parents said they should be back this Saturday night."
"Really? That's great. "I haven't seen my parents for more than half a year, and the family has to support myself and my sister to go to school, which is really a big burden.
Lin Huan sat alone on the steps of the stadium, the stars in the sky were shining particularly tonight, and it seemed that tomorrow would definitely be sunny.
I didn't expect that I had just lived in the dormitory of the school for a few days, and my roommates got along well with each other, and I stopped living in the school so soon, although Lin Huan was a little sorry, but he didn't regret it at all, friends are important, but relatives are even more important. Every time before my parents leave, I will repeatedly tell myself to take care of my sister, but in fact, I don't need to tell me at all, I will do the same.
On this night, Lin Huan looked at the starry sky and looked forward to the future. Chubby was eating snacks while imagining how he would be able to pretend to be sick and escape military training tomorrow. Lin Yihan, who was lying on the bed, was full of joy that he could finally go home with his brother again.
In a small villa, the living room is brightly lit, and although it is large, it is not empty, because the living room is full of objects, violins, violas, cellos and double basses are lined up on the walls, and the harmonica, flute, sheng and saxophone on the table are also arranged from small to large. The guzheng and the piano are placed far away, and each has a chair in front of it. At this time, a woman in ancient costume is sitting in front of the guzheng, antique, caressing the piano with no hands, and the sound of the piano is ethereal and moving. If it weren't for the fact that there were those modern musical instruments not far away, I am afraid that people would really think that they had dreamed back to ancient times.
In the corner of the living room, a short-haired woman wearing a black tank top, black shorts, and a white towel on her shoulder is sweating on the treadmill. With a roar from the short-haired woman, she finally got off the treadmill. I wiped my soaked hair with a towel, and my neat hair became messy.
"Xinran, what are you shouting, it scares me." Because of Chen Xinran's shout, Shangguan Le's hand that was stroking the qin trembled.
"Lele, you're so beautiful dressed like this, a beauty in ancient costume." Chen Xinran knows Shangguan Le's character, this girl likes stinky beauty, as long as she praises her for her good looks, she will definitely become very happy again.
"Of course, I'm not only beautiful, but I also play the piano well." Shangguan Le's hand plucking the strings became lighter.
"But at night, why are you dressed like this, are you going to go out and pretend to be a ghost?" Chen Xinran sat on the sofa and drank a big gulp of water, obviously replenishing the water he had just lost due to strenuous exercise.
Shangguan Le knew that Chen Xinran would definitely not say anything good, she glared at Chen Xinran, "Don't you think you have to wear this kind of clothes to play the guzheng?" ”
"You know I don't know what you do, but I'd suggest you go for a ten-minute run on the treadmill, it's good for you."
"Don't."
Shangguan Le said coquettishly to Chen Xinran: "Why don't you come over and try it too?" It's fun. ”
Chen Xinran really didn't have the opportunity to encounter so many musical instruments before, even if she was powerful, she was only a nineteen-year-old girl. Hearing Shangguan Le say this, he couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart and came to Shangguan Le's side.
"Lele, do you know how to play any of these?" Chen Xinran held a harmonica on the table in his hand.
"Of course, I've lived for so many years, I haven't learned anything, and I've wasted all my time on these things, but even so, I can only talk about "being able to play", and I can't say that I am proficient at all. ”
Chen Xinran casually flicked his fingers on the guzheng a few times, and a very unpleasant and harsh sound came out, which was not the kind of pleasant sound that came from Shangguan Le's fingers at all. I thought it was better to forget it, I was a "rough person", and I was really not suitable for these things.
Shangguan Le saw Chen Xinran's embarrassment, and asked with a smile: "Xinran, which of these instruments do you think is the simplest?" Just by your first feeling. ”
"Needless to say, of course it's the guzheng in front of you."
"Why do you say that?"
"I don't know any of these things, but you see, there are at least a lot of buttons or something else. Only this zither is simple, with only a few strings. Chen Xinran's analysis is the Tao.
"In my eyes, only the guzheng is the most difficult." Shangguan Le saw Chen Xinran's curiosity, and then said: "Other musical instruments have fixed rules to follow, only the guzheng, different strings, different positions of the strings, the strength between his fingers, every slight gap, and the timbre are different. And the human heart is the most difficult thing to guess in the world. ”
Chen Xinran heard it in a fog, and she didn't understand any timbre, people's hearts.
"Lele, what is your favorite of these instruments?"
"They are like my children, each with its own merits, but if I have to say my favorite words, my favorite is the piano and the guzheng."
"Why? Is it because they are bigger? ”
Shangguan Le scratched his nose helplessly. "Personally, I feel that the sound of the piano can penetrate the heart and hit the soul, while the sound of the guzheng is more ethereal and tranquil. In contrast, the other instruments didn't give me a particularly strong feeling. ”
Chen Xinran had just finished exercising, and Shangguan Le's words made her a little sleepy.
"Lele, I have to get up early tomorrow, I'm going to go to bed after taking a shower, do you want to take a bath with me." Chen Xinran said with a yawn.
"No, I washed it when I came back from school, but I want to go to the bathroom." Shangguan Le looked at her and said with a smile, "But I don't want to go." ”
Chen Xinran looked at Shangguan Le and said helplessly: "Understood, my eldest lady." After speaking, he immediately put Shangguan Le on his shoulders and ran quickly to the second floor.
"Ah, stinky girl, slow down, if you drop me, you'll die." Shangguan Le, who was dressed in ancient costume, shouted restlessly on Chen Xinran's shoulder.
