Chapter 162: First Acquaintance

And Zhang Yuxuan, who is developing his career in New York, USA, has been busy with his company's affairs recently, and the amputated half of the calf has now been replaced by a mechanical prosthetic.

After a period of adaptation, he can now walk like a normal person, and the shadow of the previous amputation has slowly faded from his heart, and he has gradually integrated into life here.

Occasionally, he also browses the Internet about domestic affairs, and he also knows something about the recent uproar about the Sophie incident, and I heard that the Su family has done their best to force the Ye family to a dead end, and the two major backings behind the Ye family have also withdrawn their shares and separated from the relationship, and the president of the Ye family is missing, and the enterprise group in City A is facing change.

"It's really like a poor worm, Ye Yuhan, how can you collapse before I come back?" Zhang Yuxuan sat in a coffee shop on the side of the street, browsing today's news, shaking his head in disappointment, he took a sip of coffee, his favorite of all coffees, a mixture of one-third espresso plus one-third steam milk and one-third foamed milk, he loved this flavor.

He pursed his lips, turned his head to look out the window with some unsatisfied feelings, the sky was a little gloomy, it had not been sunny for a few days since he came here, it was difficult to get the sun this morning, and now it has become gray again, he frowned and planned to open yesterday's project again to take a look, suddenly at this time a yellow Labrador appeared by the window, standing outside the window and sticking out his tongue and looking at himself.

Zhang Yuxuan glanced at the dog in surprise and found that the dog still had a rope around his neck, but the owner didn't know where to go, of course he was not the owner of the dog, so he didn't take it seriously, he turned his head and continued to stare at the computer, but who knew that the dog took him seriously, and kept squatting outside and staring at him with black round eyes, and barked twice from time to time. Soon the eyes of passers-by and customers in the café gradually focused on him, he frowned and ignored it, but the non-stop whispering in his ears made him upset, and finally he couldn't stand it and left.

I thought it would be okay to get out of there, but the yellow Labrador actually followed, and when he turned around, the dog didn't move, and when he turned around, it followed him again, but it always kept a short distance from him.

Zhang Yuxuan wondered, he didn't know this dog and didn't even see it, why did he keep following him? But when it followed him for a while, he finally got some interest in it.

Zhang Yuxuan turned his head, the dog immediately stopped moving, he squatted down and hooked his hand at it and symbolically blew a few light whistles, trying to call the dog to him, the Labrador was also obedient and really walked slowly in front of him.

Zhang Yuxuan touched its head lovingly, picked up the red leash, and muttered to himself

"You like me so much, why don't you go home with me."

And just as soon as he finished speaking, the dog suddenly barked and turned around and ran, and before Zhang Yuxuan could react, he was pulled away by the strange force from the leash. He tried to order it to stop, but to no avail, he could only slow it down with his strength, although the mechanical prosthetic leg on his leg was very good with him, but it was still too reluctant to start running now, and the most he could do was to walk a little faster.

He didn't remember how far the yellow Labrador had dragged him, only that he had stopped at the door of an orphanage.

Labrador barked a few times inside, and then an elderly woman came over and opened the door, as soon as she saw the Labrador next to Zhang Yuxuan, her face immediately showed a happy expression, as if she saw a long-lost relative, affectionately calling the dog's name. Then she warmly beckoned herself in for a cup of tea, and said that she would thank herself for bringing the dog back for her.

Zhang Yuxuan wanted to excuse himself, but it was difficult to refuse, so he had to touch his head and walk in inexplicably, the orphanage was better than he imagined, not only the spacious environment was also very good, and the children inside were playing, painting, and eating in groups.

But there was no sign of the other adults, and the old woman told him that the orphanage had been told a few days ago that it would be demolished and rebuilt into an amusement park for a local company, but that she had been in charge of the orphanage for many years, and that if the children were demolished, there would be nowhere to go. So she didn't agree, because the boss of the company sent people to intimidate her and the other employees, and the others quit and left for fear of getting into trouble, and only she and one other girl stayed here.

Zhang Yuxuan listened quietly, he was originally a delicate person, how could he not hear the helplessness and sadness in the other party's words, looking at the laughing children on the lawn outside, a soft place in his heart seemed to be touched, and an unknown thought seemed to flash quickly in his mind.

He tilted his head and happened to notice the room in the orphanage, because he seemed to hear a trace of the sound of the piano in his ears, the old woman noticed Zhang Yuxuan's eyes, and explained that it was the room where the girl who stayed with her practiced the piano, and she liked the piano very much from the beginning, and occasionally played a few songs for the children.

Zhang Yuxuan nodded, and walked towards the room after asking for the other party's opinion, the closer he walked, the crisper the sound of the piano became. The door was hidden with a fist-sized gap, and you could clearly see the scene inside from the outside.

He stood in the doorway and looked quietly, the large room was empty, only an old piano was placed in the middle, the windows on the wall were ajar, and the white gauze curtains were slightly lifted by the wind, and the girl's slender black hair was raised.

The girl is wearing a light blue plaid dress, with a neat row of bangs in front of her forehead, and her facial features are delicate and cute, especially when she closes her eyes and plays attentively, giving people a unique attraction, and the other party also looks Chinese.

Zhang Yuxuan stood outside silently, and began to close his eyes and listen carefully, his fingers moving up and down rhythmically, and there was a sense of immersion and enjoyment on his face.

At the end of the song, he couldn't help but applaud applauded, but he didn't want to startle the people inside.

"You... Who is it? Is it the one who came to urge us to move out again? As I said, we won't go unless you can tear this place down with us! ”

Zhang Yuxuan was a little confused by the other party's categorical statement, and quickly opened his mouth to deny that he was not the person in the girl's mouth, and the girl seemed to be a little unconvinced, so he had to tell the other party the ins and outs of the matter.

When she heard that she had brought the Labrador back, she had a friendly and grateful expression on her face, "Pipsqueak has been running to that café since the dean left, and every time she looks out from the place where the dean used to sit, after so long, it still can't accept the fact that the dean left, it hasn't come back for a few days, and Aunt Lillian is in a hurry, but fortunately you brought it back today." ”

Zhang Yuxuan nodded, he roughly understood the meaning, this dog named Pippi may have followed him by mistake for the late dean, and then ran away with himself all the way, maybe he wanted to take himself home as the dean.

In addition, he noticed that the other party's eyes were always closed, as if he couldn't see anything, and out of curiosity, he couldn't help but cautiously ask, "Your eyes..."

The other party seemed to have expected this question to ask, and gently replied, "I lost my sight in the accident." ”

Zhang Yuxuan confirmed his guess, and at the same time sighed that a blind girl could play so well, presumably the learning process was not easy.

"You play the piano very well, but the movements are a little unnatural, and the body should be relaxed when you play the piano, especially the arms and knuckles, but after knowing that you can't see, this level is already very high."

The girl blushed a little when she was praised, and said with a smile, "Actually, I didn't learn very well, the dean used to play it, and then he taught me to play, but now that he is gone, he can only slowly understand it by himself." ”

Zhang Yuxuan raised his eyebrows, walked to the bench next to the latter and asked politely, "Can I sit down?" ”

The other party blushed and nodded, and sat down next to him unnaturally.

Zhang Yuxuan looked at the latter's shy and innocent appearance and wanted to laugh inexplicably, sat down and took a deep breath, his fingers gently stroked the keys, and then a familiar sheet music appeared in his mind, and the piano sound sounded the moment his fingers pressed the keys.

The expression on the girl's delicate face began to change slowly at the moment the piano sounded, from surprise to surprise to intoxication, this is a very simple piece but it is a test of the player's basic skills, obviously ordinary people play no special feeling, but once in the other party's hand all the notes seem to come to life, the percussion of each key is just right, the ups and downs of the song are perfect, and this feeling is as if the dean is playing, straight to the heart of the music into the human body.

She didn't know who the person in front of her was, she couldn't even see his appearance, but judging by his voice and the sound of the piano, he should be a very gentle and considerate person, she thought like this, and some pink emotions in her heart were fluctuating and rising, she didn't know what it was like, she only knew that she was deeply attracted to it.

Zhang Yuxuan closed his eyes and devoted himself to the piano, this piece was practiced by him since he was a child, and it carried too many ups and downs, from his being a piano waste by countless people to his fame as a master at the top of piano music, it accompanied him countless days and nights.

Now, because of his family, he has long given up his original dream and is doing his best to do a good job in the family business. Now he didn't expect to have the opportunity to play the piano again, and surrounded by this familiar and beautiful feeling, his sound became full of spirituality.

At the end of the song, he slowly opened his eyes and exhaled softly, turned his head to look at the girl next to him, the other party's body and facial expression froze, and he said softly, "I'm done." ”

The other man nodded, then shook violently, grabbed the other's arm in a respectful tone and said, "I play so well, it's almost like the pianist I heard on TV, can you teach me?" I really want to learn. ”

Zhang Yuxuan smiled dryly, and then said with some slurry, "That can be okay, but it's not a hand..."

"Hands?" The girl was puzzled for a moment, then withdrew her hands and turned her back to him with her face red, and the atmosphere between the two became a little awkward.

Zhang Yuxuan coughed lightly and said, "Well, it can be, but I have a request." ”

"You say." The girl turned happily, a shy crimson still on her cheeks.

"Tell me your name."

"Huh?"

"Why is this asking too much?" Zhang Yuxuan squinted his eyes and played with the taste, the other party obviously didn't understand his tone of teasing her, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, no, not too much, not too much, my name... My name is, do you want a Chinese name or an English name? ”

"Poof!"

Zhang Yuxuan waited for a long time with his head on his back, and he actually waited for such a sentence, and he was really made by the other party to cry and laugh and ask rhetorically

"Chinese still need an English name?"

"Hehe, my name is Chestnut Snow, Chestnut's chestnut, Snowflake's snow."

"Hello, Li Xue, my name is Zhang Yuxuan, Zhang Yuxuan's Zhang, Zhang Yuxuan's Yu, Zhang Yuxuan's Xuan."

"Oh..." Li Xue let out a long sigh and seemed to be still pondering the other party's name, while Zhang Yuxuan's expression on the side was about to burst into tears. Their simple and childish self-introductions inadvertently make people feel comfortable.

"I said Li Xue, how dangerous is it for a girl like you to go out alone with an innocent appearance and a simple heart? I'm worried about you. ”

"It's okay, I have Pippi, and Pippi used to carry me all the way." Li Xue said with a smile, Zhang Yuxuan realized that the Labrador was still a guide dog, and after looking at it, it was already very dark, and he had to take a taxi to go back early, otherwise he would not be able to leave when it rained heavily.

After hurriedly saying goodbye to Li Xue and Aunt Lilian, he took a taxi back to his home, remembering the orphanage, the kind old man in the orphanage, the lively and lovely children, and the innocent and innocent blind girl.
