Chapter 18: The Boy Behind the Piano

Suddenly, I saw that Brother Jin staring at me with a wicked smile, which made me feel furious. Sister Xu glanced at it and said contemptuously: "That fat man's name is Jin Jialong, who used to follow Brother Haibin in the past, but because he was lustful and made a mistake, he is not taken seriously now." However, because he came out early, he also had a certain amount of connections, and on the surface, it seemed that he was in Xie Chen's camp...... Alas, but this man is simply unreliable. ”

When Sister Xu said this, I remembered the incident of being captured by the Golden Armor Dragon. I remember saying something very strange that day, and I couldn't figure it out. I asked Xie Chen, but he never told me, but still mocked me viciously. was about to ask Sister Xu what the reason was, but when she saw someone waving at her on the side, she walked away.

The women on the side were all gathered in groups, and many women danced with different men. Maybe my outfit looks out of place, and I'm left alone. The waiter was constantly serving delicious pastries, and I ate almost all of them alone.

Suddenly I smelled a pungent smell of perfume, and then the sound of high heels kicking, it turned out to be Nana, who sat down on the chair next to me with two glasses of red wine, and smiled at me. I heard Sister Xu say that she is the younger sister of Brother Jiu, and I can also tell that she likes Xie Chen. Because one night, in addition to talking to Brother Jiu, she scanned me with those knife-like eyes.

I was uncomfortable with her danfeng eyes, and said hello to her awkwardly. She rolled her eyes unfriendly, shaking the red liquid in the cup, and a hint of arrogant smile on the corner of her mouth, "Your name is Lin Xing?" ”

"Yes."

She said very directly, "You know what? Like those of us who come out to eat, there is no tomorrow today. I really can't figure out why Xie Chen would fall in love with you, if he just wants to find a woman to play with because he is lonely, you are not the best. ”

She was really unkind, and I always maintained a humble demeanor and listened to her with a smile. I think that no matter who you are, if you get along with Xie Chen for a while, your heart's ability to bear it will definitely be very good. I made a charming smile like a flight attendant and said to her, "You're right, I'm also wondering about this matter, how could Xie Chen take a fancy to me?" ”

I lowered my posture first so that she could not show off in front of me. Perhaps a little discouraged, she snorted coldly, and then handed me a wine glass, "First meeting, although you make me very unhappy, but let's have a drink." ”

It's not that I don't understand the world, and since she took the initiative to stop the war, of course I have to be generous. I smiled and said thank you, then took the goblet she handed me. The red liquid glistened in the light flowing overhead, and I didn't notice the treacherous smile that flashed across Nana's face.

Just as I was about to drink it, a hand pressed against my glass. A hint of panic quickly flashed on Nana's face, and then she put her hands around her chest very coquettishly, "Yo? Do you feel distressed after drinking so little? ”

Xie Chen took the wine glass in my hand and poured the half glass of red wine on the carpet beside me in my surprised gaze. Nana's tone was slightly angry, and she stood up with a snort, "Xie Chen, what do you mean!" You've never swept my face! She was wearing more than ten centimeters of high heels, and she was almost as tall as Xie Chen when she stood up.

"If I don't let it, she won't drink it." Xie Chen was not to be outdone.

Such a big movement quickly attracted the attention of many people, and the ninth brother on the side seemed to be very dissatisfied on his face, I really didn't want to spoil the atmosphere of the banquet because of me, and then become the target of public criticism, so I quietly pulled Xie Chen's sleeve and whispered: "It's okay, it's okay if I drink a little." ”

My kind persuasion did not bring Xie Chen's good face, he turned around and scolded me: "Get out of the way!" ”

There was a faint laugh from the side, and I must have looked like a clown, my hot cheeks red all the way to the base of my ears. I couldn't stay any longer, so I fled the scene in a panic.

Perhaps it was because I had drunk too much red wine and felt dizzy and tight, so I walked all the way down the corridor and found a private room at the end with the door ajar, dark inside, with only a dim lamp lit.

I looked up and saw as if there was no one, so I tiptoed in, trying to sit in a chair and catch my breath. When I turned my head, I was surprised to see a piano with the "blΓΌthner" logo on the body. This is "BrΓΌtner", the brand of piano praised by many pianists, I have seen it countless times in books, but I have never touched its keys with my own hands.

The temptation was too great for me, but the moment I stretched out my hand, I felt a pain in my heart. Memories of my youth came flooding back to me. Nobody knows that I can actually play the piano, I love the piano. My fingers froze in mid-air, hesitated for a long time, and finally stepped forward to lift the lid, tried the sound, and slowly played the familiar melody......

"Late at night in the garden, all around quiet. The leaves are no longer rustling, and how beautiful the night is, I am fascinated by this charming night......"

The Soviet folk song "Evening on the outskirts of Moscow" is my favorite tune, and I can't help but hum along.

Before I was eight years old, my favorite thing to do was sit in front of a black and white piano with a high ponytail. The beautiful melody flowed under my fingers, and at that time, my mother would always sit next to me and become my most loyal listener. But it all ended with my mother's decision to leave, and I never dared to touch the keys again.

I still remember that when I was playing the piano, there would always be a little teenager who looked at me with joy. He always can't wait to applaud me when I'm done playing a tune. But I forgot what he looked like, he was like my early childhood, and he didn't even leave a shadow.

A few crisp applause suddenly sounded in the dark corner. I was shocked, my heart seemed to skip half a beat, and the sound of the piano stopped abruptly, "Who?" ”

In the shadows, the lighter lit up, and the footsteps of someone slowly approached. He took a deep breath of cigarette and said with emotion: "It's such an old song, I liked to listen to it the most when I was a child, and I was so moved." ”

I didn't speak, and the voice in the darkness sounded again, "But you have a few notes that seem to be played wrong, are you rusty or absent-minded?" ”

He had come out of the darkness, stood beside the piano, and plucked it casually, and immediately let out a series of noisy screeching sounds. I quickly closed the lid and explained, "I don't know much about music, but I only audited a few classes at school. ”

He chuckled, put his hands on my chin, and said, "Still angry? ”

"Nope."

"Did you know that Nana gave you that glass of wine was spiced?" He turned my head and looked me straight in the eye. In the dim light, his features were even more mysterious.

I didn't react to what he said for a while, I looked down and thought for a while, and suddenly exclaimed, "You mean she poisoned me?" She's going to poison me? As soon as these words came out, a layer of fine sweat suddenly appeared on his back.

"I won't poison you." He grinned, looked at me and said with a smile: "However, once you get that poison, only I can save you tonight." ”

I was still ignorant, and reflexively asked, "What poison?" ”

He pursed his lips and smiled slyly, then leaned down and whispered a few words in my ear...... My heart was racing, and my ears felt like they were on fire. His lips were only a few centimeters away from me, and I could hear even the slightest breathing. Immediately, there was a dark and ambiguous smell in the air, and I pushed him away and stumbled out.

I ran long way in one go, and then I leaned against the wall and gasped for air. Nana's sharp eyes immediately appeared in front of me, and her vicious and despicable methods made my heart difficult to calm down for a long time.
