Chapter 101: Learning to Play the Piano
Zhang Xin nodded, looking at the stain and feeling a little embarrassed.
"Take off your clothes, and I'll wash them for you."
"You have it, wipe the tears from your face first, don't let passers-by think that I am bullying you." As he spoke, he took out a handkerchief from his body and handed it to Zhang Xin.
"Thank you." Zhang Xin's nasal voice was very strong, and Chen Ruize didn't even feel that Zhang Xin was a little cute.
"Let's go, I'll take you somewhere, I don't think you should be able to read a book this afternoon." Without waiting for Zhang Xin to agree, Chen Ruize pulled her to find a tricycle in front, said a place name, and urged Zhang Xin to get into the car.
Zhang Xin has played with Chen Ruize so many times, she has long lost her previous vigilance, and she is in a very bad mood today, not only because of Zhou Hui and Lynch's affairs, but also because of the recent things in the store, as well as Li Cui, these things get together, in Zhang Xin's opinion, it is even more terrible than the English test, today is just taking advantage of the afternoon when there is nothing to do, she can also change her mood and sort out her emotions.
The uncle who rode the tricycle was also talkative, so he rode the bike and talked to Zhang Xin and Chen Ruize in the back.
"I said little girl, what about this object, just to talk about the matter, if you have any grievances in your heart, you have to say it, don't let us men guess, I just saw that the two of you are doing a better job over there, cry, cry, talk, and the contradiction will be resolved." Zhang Xin was made to cry and laugh by Uncle Sanlun's words, obviously, this uncle regarded Zhang Xin and Chen Ruize as a quarreling couple, Zhang Xin just wanted to open his mouth to explain, but was preempted by Chen Ruize.
"Yes, uncle, you still understand me, we will pay attention to it in the future." Chen Ruize stuck out his tongue at Zhang Xin as he spoke, and Zhang Xin stretched out his hand and twisted his arm.
Arriving at the destination after a while, Chen Ruize seemed to be in a very good mood, and he didn't let him change after giving the tricycle uncle, so he turned to the back and helped Zhang Xin get out of the car.
"This is ......" Zhang Xin looked at the two-story building in front of him and felt a little incredible.
"Yes, this is my house, you have been here before." Chen Ruize automatically ignored the surprise in Zhang Xin's words, grabbed Zhang Xin's hand and walked to the house.
Chen Ruize revealed a shiny key from his body, skillfully opened the door and half-pushed Zhang Xin into the house. The room has not changed much from when Zhang Xin came before, and the piano is still quietly placed against the wall in the living room, setting off the overall temperament of the whole room.
"Here, eat an apple." Chen Ruize picked out the reddest apple from the fruit bowl on the table and threw it to Zhang Xin, who drew a perfect parabola in the air and landed firmly in Zhang Xin's hand.
"Wait a minute, I'll go up and get something." After saying that, he staggered upstairs, entered a room, and not long after, walked down with a thick book.
"Come, come." Chen Ruize moved another chair and walked to the piano, spread the book on the piano stand, and beckoned Zhang Xin to sit down.
Zhang Xin didn't know what kind of medicine he bought in the gourd, so according to Chen Ruize's instructions, he obediently walked over and sat on the chair in front of the piano.
"Do you like the piano?" Zhang Xin's hands trembled a little, stroking the neat black and white keys of the piano, her heart was excited and nervous, she was full of awe of this piano from the bottom of her heart, and when she heard Chen Ruize's inquiry, she nodded heavily.
"Then I'll teach you to play the piano, just play the one I played last time, okay?"
"You, you want to teach me to play the piano? No, no, I'm stupid. Zhang Xin never thought that he could learn such a profound instrument, so he hurriedly excused himself.
"Oops, how do you know if you don't try!" Chen Ruize grabbed Zhang Xin's fingers, attached his hand to her hand, and gently played the first few notes of "To Alice", the beautiful sound slowly flowed out under Zhang Xin's fingers, Zhang Xin felt that he had been addicted to it and couldn't extricate himself.
With Chen Ruize's knowledge, Zhang Xin could already play the first half of the song in one afternoon, which made her ecstatic, and her mood gradually improved.
"Why do you suddenly want to teach me how to play the piano?" Zhang Xin played it over and over again, enjoying the joy that music brought her.
"Actually, this was originally intended to be given to you as a birthday gift for you, but you had something to do that day, and it didn't come true." Chen Ruize's words carried a little regret and loss.
"But, now it's all come true, as a birthday present for you!" Chen Ruize didn't want Zhang Xin to feel guilty about him, so he immediately changed his tone to alleviate the negative emotions just now.
As he was talking, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and Chen Ruize and Zhang Xin stood up in a panic and looked out of the door together. The owner of the footsteps was none other than Chen Ruize's father, Principal Chen Zheshu.
Chen Zheshu, who had just returned from a school meeting, saw Zhang Xin and Chen Ruize standing upright in the room as soon as he pushed open the door, and was startled, and saw that the girl with a high ponytail was Zhang Xin, who had personally awarded the first prize of the scholarship a year ago, and smiled at her politely.
Chen Ruize didn't expect his father to come back so early, and now Zhang Xin is by his side again, cramped like a child who has done something wrong and has been discovered, and he doesn't know what to do for a while.
Zhang Xin felt less nervous at this time, and had talked with Principal Chen a few words before at the award ceremony, and felt that he was a profound and cultivated person, so after seeing him, he was more relaxed.
"It's not too early, so I'll go back first." Zhang Xin looked out the window, he had been studying piano all afternoon, he was so involved in practicing that he forgot the time unconsciously, Zhang Xin didn't expect it to be so late, thinking that he had made an appointment with Li Cui to go to dinner together in the evening, so he got up and picked up his schoolbag and politely said goodbye to Principal Chen.
"It's not too early, I won't keep you, Xiao Ze, this kid is very playful, and I have to bother the girl to help teach her in the future, Xiao Ze, hurry up and put on your clothes and send Zhang Xin." Chen Zheshu is also a relatively open person, and now that he has reached college, there is nothing unusual about being a boy and a girl before, and his son's "girlfriend" is excellent in his studies and polite, and he has no reason to object, in short, the children's affairs have to be solved by themselves.
As if he had received a holy decree, Chen Ruize hurriedly dressed and went out with Zhang Xin.
Chen Ruize borrowed that his motorcycle was still in school, and insisted on returning to school with Zhang Xin, and the two walked back to school slowly.
"You're also tired today, rest early, tell me when you want to play the piano, and I'll take you to my house." Chen Ruize sent Zhang Xin downstairs to the dormitory.
"Well, okay, goodbye." Zhang Xin didn't say anything superfluous to him, and then looked at the back of Chen Ruize going back, and stayed in place for a while.
It's not that she doesn't know about Chen Ruize's intentions, but now that Lynch has completely occupied her heart, if she really accepts that Chen Ruize is unfair to the three of them, it is better to maintain this peaceful relationship and be a good friend and confidant in peace.
"Hey, what are you doing, stupid here." Li Cui jumped out of there without knowing it, patted Zhang Xin, held her arm, and pretended to look ahead.
"Isn't that handsome guy from our school's engineering college?" Li Cui came over from the teaching building just now, and happened to see Zhang Xin and Chen Ruize walking back side by side, so she hid aside and secretly looked at them.
After such a long period of contact with Zhang Xin, except for Chen Ruize, she really didn't find anyone else who had a close relationship with Zhang Xin, and she had guessed the relationship between Zhang Xin and Chen Ruize before, but looking at Zhang Xin's attitude, it seemed that only Chen Dagongzi had that kind of thought, but Zhang Xin was indifferent.
"Are you and him in love?" Li Cui said as she knocked on the side, wanting to see Zhang Xin's reaction.
"No, I'm just friends with him." Zhang Xin looked at Chen Ruize, who was gradually moving away, and explained to Li Cui.
Unexpectedly, after Li Cui heard Zhang Xin's answer, her expression suddenly became very serious, and she reached out and raised Zhang Xin's hand wearing a jade bracelet high.
