Lu Bin and Zhuo Yiqin talked happily with each other, which made Qiao Yan both happy and sad, happy that Lu Bin successfully passed the mother's pass, and Qiao Ran's emotional road will inevitably be much smoother. Sadly, Wei Chihong's conditions are better than Lu Bin in all aspects, just because he is a member of Wei Chi's family, he is cold-eyed. The hand of fate turns the clouds and rain, how unfair!

"Where's the boss, he'll be here today, right?" was chatting about Xingtou, Lu Bin suddenly asked, he thought that Yu Chihong must have become a guest at home, Wei Chihong's parents are abroad, and he should have made this place his home during the Chinese New Year.

As soon as Zhuo Yiqin heard it, she knew who Lu Bin was talking about, and her face immediately changed. Qiao Yan hurriedly glanced at Lu Bin, and kept pretending to stay out of the matter, but Qiao Ran, who was actually nervous, also rushed to the rescue. "Lu Bin, you already owe several piano lessons, and since you are here today, you have to make up for one."

"It's not that you won't let me come, saying that I'm afraid that if I come, my aunt will be unhappy." Lu Bin looked very aggrieved.

Zhuo Yiqin's expression softened, and she reproached Qiao Ran in a low voice: "How can you talk nonsense like this, people don't know, and they still think I'm a feudal autocratic old woman." ”

"How so?" Lu Bin smiled flatteringly, "Qiao Ran respects you very much and thinks that you should be approved first." You're so young, you're so far from an old woman. And it gives people the feeling of being a very enlightened elder, not feudal and autocratic at all. ”

Zhuo Yiqin chuckled. "Then go to class, I have agreed, and you are always welcome to come to your home in the future."

Lu Bin was smiling, but Qiao Ran was a little cramped, his pretty face was red, and he was more like an outsider than Lu Bin. After the two went to the piano room, Lu Bin asked in a low voice: "Why did I talk about it just now, everyone's expressions are strange?" ”

"My mom...... Don't agree with my sister being with him. Qiao Ran replied helplessly.

"Why?" Lu Bin was stunned, Zhuo Zhengqin was still so enthusiastic about him, and Wei Chihong's conditions were better than him in all aspects, he couldn't think of any reason for Zhuo Zhengqin to object.

Qiao Ran sighed sadly. "Our two families had some grievances before, and we didn't know about it, but my mother didn't say it until she came back, which made everyone feel very bad."

"Isn't there a good solution?" Lu Bin's mood was also affected, what a good pair Wei Chihong and Qiao Yan were, if it was because of the grievances of the previous generation, everyone would feel sorry for them.

Qiao Ran shook his head. "My mother is very stubborn and can't be persuaded, and my sister has already given in.

"This ...... This ......" Lu Bin was a little stunned and embarrassed, such a big event happened in someone's family, but he didn't know it, and he was still blindly immersed in his own joy.

Qiao Ran stopped talking, she sat down in front of the piano, her slender and delicate fingers deftly gliding over the keys, letting the strings of sound flow like water. She said that she was taking piano lessons, but she became the teacher's soloist, and she was used to confiding in the piano, giving her joys, sorrows, and sorrows to the black and white keys.

Lu Bin looked at Qiao Ran, she was elegant and gentle, her short black hair was already long, hanging straight down to her chest, her cheeks were as white as jade, and her eyebrows were delicate and picturesque. Every time he stared at Qiao Ran, he felt a feeling of almost pain in his heart, a painful pity, and a painful love.

The beautiful piano music beats in the quiet twilight, and the dark dusk is played vividly, throbbing, full of vitality and fantasy. Qiao Ran is immersed in the realm of music, immersed in an unknown realm. Her long eyelashes were half-drooping, and her gentle eyes seemed to be pensive, confiding.

Finally, as she came to an end, her fingers slid from the high to the low registers of the keys, a cascade of flowing sounds, and then, complete stillness, complete silence......

Lu Bin stood silently aside, capturing the moment of tranquility with all his heart. Then he applauded her.

Qiao Ran slowly turned around from the piano and faced Lu Bin, her eyebrows frowned slightly, and there was a sigh on her lips that could hardly be heard. This kind of light sigh, and the purity, elegance and delicacy that she carried all over her body, all caused Lu Bin's frantic heartbeat, and he couldn't help but rush out: "Qiao Ran, your mother recognizes me, you also heard it just now......"

"Lu Bin," Qiao Ran softly interrupted him, just like many times in the past, she would interrupt him in time at critical moments, "Let's take piano lessons next time, it's rare that the Chinese New Year is a little free, you should spend more time with your parents." I watched the Spring Festival Gala last night and heard the song "Where Has Time Gone", and I was particularly touched. ”

After being interrupted by Qiao Ran in the past, Lu Bin could only swallow what he wanted to say, but this time, after getting Zhuo Zhenqin's support, he had great courage, stretched out his hand, and pressed his hand on her hand forgetfully.

Qiao Ran was so frightened by this sudden contact that she jumped up, she quickly retracted her hand, hid her hand behind her back, and said hurriedly: "Don't do this!" ”

"What not?" Lu Bin became angry, angry at himself, angry at her, angry at the relationship between them. He suddenly felt that he had to confess his thoughts, that he had to conquer her, so he suddenly stepped forward and grabbed her wrist hidden behind him.

Qiao Ran retreated in fright, Lu Bin held her hand, and said resolutely: "There is no contradiction between accompanying my parents and falling in love, my parents have been urging me to find a girlfriend quickly, and when I had a reunion dinner last night, those seven aunts and eight aunts also helped urge, and they were very enthusiastic to introduce me to someone." I told them that I already had someone I liked. My parents were very happy to hear it and encouraged me to pursue it boldly, and they would be my strong support. ”

A touch of panic flashed across Qiao Ran's face, like a frightened little animal. "If they knew about me......"

"I have already told them that after you are the master of the Qiao Clan's Mansion, you are a lady from a famous family." Lu Bin's tone was soft, but he had great dominance, "My dad works in the cultural system and knows the history of the old villa on Zhulang Island very well, and he especially admires your great-grandfather Qiao Zhi, saying that he has the same patriotic feelings as the sea. ”

Qiao Ran's brows frowned slightly, the corners of her mouth spasmed slightly, she opened her mouth, took a breath, and said almost painfully, "Please let go of your hand." You know, that's not what I mean. ”

Lu Bin let go of her hand and glared at her, almost angry. However, she was so soft and innocent, he couldn't be angry with her at all! "Why do you have to hold on to that?" He muffled, "Are you still blaming me and hating me because I didn't protect you......"

"I don't blame you for hating you at all!" Qiao Ran shouted.

"Then don't mention it again." Lu Bin couldn't bear it anymore and said hurriedly, "Let that incident become a thing of the past completely, let's forget it and selectively lose our memory!" ”

"I ...... I ......" Qiao Ran snorted, his face darkened, "I also want to forget, I want to stop being inferior and be a normal person, but ...... It's so hard that I can't get rid of that feeling of inferiority and helplessness...... I can't forget ......."

"Say no more!" Lu Bin stopped in a hoarse voice, blaming herself and feeling guilty for the pain her words had brought her. He wanted to hug her, he wanted to comfort her. However, he was afraid of frightening her, so he just stood in front of her blankly, looking at her helplessly.

Qiao Ran's misty eyes were misty, and his voice trembled pitifully. "I have a phobia, I used to have a fear of fire, and now I have added ...... Fear of men......" she struggled with, tears still dripping down her cheeks, "I've already gone to a doctor, who is very famous, and he said he could cure my phobia...... I...... I'm working on it...... You certainly don't want to be with a patient...... Live together. ”

Before Qiao Ran's words fell, her hand was held by Lu Bin again, and she immediately blushed, trying to withdraw her hand. was taken by Lu Bin and pulled her towards him. "Be my girlfriend." He finally boldly expressed the longing that had been held in his heart for a long time, Qiao Ran's words just now made him ecstatic, it turned out that she had accepted him, and even considered living with him in the future.

Qiao Ran met his gaze, her eyes were shy, passionate, gentle, and incomprehensible sadness...... The sight made his blood boil. Unable to think, unable to stand still under this gaze, he leaned over and kissed her softly on the lips.

She didn't move, her body was almost stiff, her cold lips were shaking, lifeless and tightly closed, she seemed a little overwhelmed.

Lu Bin raised his head, his eyes flashed with hurt confusion, and he asked in a low voice, "You don't want to?" I apologize to you if I offended you. ”

"It's not...... I ......" Qiao Ran's cheeks became hot, "I'm worried...... Someone came in and saw it. ”

Lu Bin took a big breath, and his heart was stirred by a wave of ecstasy. He rushed to the door of the piano room and looked left and right, and after making sure that the corridor was empty, he quickly turned back and took Qiao Ran into his arms. "There's no one outside." When he had finished speaking, he bowed his head and kissed her again, as if he were a treasure, with caution and reverence.

Qiao Ran's body was no longer stiff, his lips were no longer cold, and he was no longer trembling and shrinking. Her whole person was fluttering, and in her ears, she only heard the sound of the evening breeze kissing the treetops, soft as a dream, beautiful as a song.

No one would bother Lu Bin and Qiao Ran. Qiao Yan has been curled up in the sofa in the living room, when Qiao Ran first played the piano, she listened to the sound of the piano, her expression was focused and painful, her eyes were moist. When the sound of the piano died down, she remained still.

"Xiao Yan," Zhuo Yiqin walked over to Qiao Yan and sat down, gently putting her hand on her shoulder, "I know, you must be blaming me in your heart." I'm so enthusiastic about Xiao Ran's crush, but I'm ...... yours If their family hadn't had an enmity with me, I would have happily accepted him......"

"Mom!" Qiao Yan let out a low cry and involuntarily hugged her mother, "I understand, I've decided to break up with him." She closed her eyes, and a wave of dizziness hit her, causing her heart to spasm.
