Ningcheng, Star Asia Hotel.

Lin Miao sat in the corner, holding a glass of juice and drinking it without taking a sip, her eyes occasionally drifting casually over the field. This is an independent science and technology trade fair, she participated on behalf of Xu Mulai, if it weren't for the fact that she had a project in Xining to come over for review, she wouldn't have bothered to participate in this boring meeting.

It was not surprising to see Ye Feifei appear at the venue, JM Group has already crossed the country with commercial sectors, and this Greater Xining area was fully developed by Ye Feifei. I remember that she was also going to be assigned here back then, but she managed to avoid it, and at that time she thought that this was a bitter cold and desolate place, but now it seems that she is still short-sighted.

Originally, Ye Feifei was not a low-key person, and the pomp and circumstance when he entered the door was about to catch up with the emperor, and the stars were arching. However, his ruffian spirit has not yet been exhausted, and Junyi's face always has a look that seems to be smiling, so that the girls present can't take their eyes off him. However, there was no Lin Miao among these girls, she got up from the corner, pushed open the side door next to her and walked out.

The side door of the hotel does not lead to the outside, and Lin Miao is not in a hurry to leave, so she takes a walk at will. I don't know where the sound of the piano came from, influenced by Xu Munaniu, I have listened to her piano for a few years, and now I dare not say that I have some accomplishments in music, at least I can listen to it.

I followed the sound and looked for it, and then entered a certain building, and asked the waiter at the door, did the sound of the piano come from inside? The waiter nodded his head, saying that it was a pianist they had specially hired who was playing for the guests.

Lin Miao swept across the wall, and this was a cafeteria.

It was just time for dinner, and she walked in. When I looked around, I saw a black piano in an open space, and the lid covered the person playing the piano behind it, and it was vaguely obvious that it was a man.

Lin Miao didn't come closer, but chose a quiet place to sit down and listen to the music. A waitress came over and asked if she needed to eat, and then she remembered that this was a cafeteria and she needed to pick up her own food. So I walked towards the food area, just about to pass the performance area, and subconsciously looked sideways, and my eyes froze.

Lin Miao didn't tell what song he was playing, he only knew that his footsteps were uncontrollably walking towards the piano step by step, until he reached the back of the piano stand, and his eyes fell on the pianist's face.

It was a handsome face, with carved features, and a tuft of soft, jet-black hair that covered half of his eyebrows, but the eyelashes were particularly narrow. Looking downward, he was wearing a delicately tailored dark suit, with a white shirt underneath, the collar of the shirt was unbuttoned in two, and the cufflinks of the shirt were not buttoned at the sleeves.

The whole feeling is very casual, but the smooth fingers playing on the black and white keys are very elegant.

Lin Miaoxiang thought that this was the first time she had seen elegance in this person. In the past, there was only domineering and calculation, and even unreasonable.

At the end of the song, the slender fingers paused on the keys, and the raised black eyes just collided with Lin Miao's sight, faint and shallow, bright and dark. He is thirty-five years old, Lin Miaoxiang, his eyebrows are much deeper than when he was thirty, if he was hard to hide before, then he only feels calm in front of her.

In these days of separation, she didn't imagine the scene of meeting him again, but she never expected it to be like this...... In an elegant setting, still in front of a piano.

The two looked at each other quietly, Lin Miao believed that there was no excitement in her eyes, and there was no emotion in those dark pupils like a reef, only making people feel very quiet, as if they didn't see her.

If you still had doubts and uneasiness about Chen Bin's words before, at this moment your heart finally fell to the ground. He didn't leave the table first without her knowing, and it should have been very good to see that he was so interested in playing the piano at this time.

Finally, Lin Miao pulled the corners of her mouth and leaned forward slightly, "Hello, Lord Director." ”

Waiting for him to react, whether it was angry or ruthless, or cold, she could handle it. But he looked indifferent, lowered his eyes and played the next tune.

What is this? Ignore her?

Lin Miao straightened up and stared at him, halfway through a song, she turned and left. has never been a person who drags mud and water, and since people shouldn't even respond, then there is no need for her to put a hot face on it. Footsteps towards the door of the restaurant, saw the waiter at the door bowed politely to her, just as she was about to step out of the door suddenly paused, she turned her head to look at the waiter, the other party was stunned and immediately asked: "May I ask the lady if you need anything?" ”

After a pause, she turned her eyes slightly to the side, and she asked, "Are you a pianist who came here today?" ”

The waiter replied, "No, he is a full-time pianist in our restaurant and comes to play every night." ”

Lin Miao narrowed her eyes, "Every night? ”

"Yes, that's one of the features of our restaurant, and a lot of our guests come specifically to listen to the evening's concert."

"How long do you usually play?"

"Our restaurant is open from 18:00 to 21:30 in the evening, and the pianist will come over at 20:00 until the end of our restaurant."

Lin Miao raised her eyebrows, that is nearly an hour and a half of playing? She turned around, walked back to the dining room and picked up a plate and picked a few items, poured another glass of wine, and looked around as she walked to the nearest place to the piano.

After taking a seat, Lin Miao took a sip of red wine with satisfaction, which was the best position for the audience to watch the performance. In addition to being able to listen to the beautiful notes up close, you can also see the handsome side face of the "luthier".

Half an hour passed, and he listened to about five or six tunes, and he would stop for two or three minutes to rest after playing one song at a time, and then continue to play the next one. Lin Miao beckoned to the waiter, and after a while, just after another song was played, the ordered waiter walked to the performance area, bent down slightly, politely and politely said the customer's wishes, and handed over the delicate envelope.

The "luthier" glanced down at the envelope, and the waiter's face showed embarrassment. But he ignored it and played the next tune. The waiter had no choice but to come back and say to Lin Miao: "Sorry madam, I conveyed what you just meant to our pianist, but he is unwilling to accept your tip." ”

"Oh? Is it too little? ”

The waiter looked embarrassed, "I don't know. ”

When she brought the envelope over, she asked, "Do you have a pen?" ”

The waiter immediately responded: "Wait a minute. Soon he brought the pen, but after a while, he was called by Lin Miao, and the same envelope was handed over again, and he heard a shallow voice saying: "You tell him that I want to listen to the song on the reverse side of the envelope, and the money in it is counted as a song fee." ”

Seeing the twitching corners of the waiter's mouth and the back of the resignation turn, Lin Miao thought, it's really not that she wants to embarrass others, but this kind of thing has to be done by others. Otherwise, you will lose your style and face.

The time was just right, another piece of music ended, and the envelope was handed again.

This time, the "luthier" looked at the envelope and turned it over, and it was clear with just two lines of words on it. Lin Miao sat in the chair and watched his every move, down to a stunned look.

After a pause of about four or five seconds, he slipped the envelope into his pocket.

And the waiter who was ordered breathed a sigh of relief, and nodded towards Lin Miao when he retreated, signaling that the matter was done, but he didn't dare to approach the table again. Lin Miao bent the corners of her lips when she saw this, and when the melody started, her mood improved.

It's not a particularly tricky song, it's the famous piano song "To Alice", basically anyone who can play the piano will. It's not too much to describe his performance as fluid, and since it's played specifically for her, then she's his Alice. She put two hundred yuan in the envelope just now, because she had paid him a tip of two hundred yuan in the bar that year, and he took it rightly.

When the song was about to end, Lin Miao drank the red wine in the glass in one gulp, and then got up and walked there.

Waiting for the last sound to be in the air, five hundred pieces were placed on the keys of the piano, and the strange eyes around her did not enter Lin Miao's eyes, because only the person in front of her was left as far as her eyes could see.

The next second she asked, the five hundred pieces on the keys were pinched up by her slender fingers, but they were handed to her, and her faint voice was settled: "Madam, you have come to the wrong place, tipping is not accepted here." ”

Lin Miao smiled: "Oh? So what kind of places do you say accept tips? ”

His reaction was to keep a straight face, "Please leave with the money, don't affect my work." ”

Lin Miaoxiang, this voice is low and good-sounding, which is intoxicating.

Qing Ling's gaze was fixed for a moment, and his gaze suddenly fell, the black and white keys were the most plain colors in the world, and they were also the most matched. In the midst of her thoughts, she stretched out her hand to tap the keys indiscriminately to make all kinds of noises, but Yu Guang kept paying attention to the dynamics of the people around her, and saw him frowning, and there was a faint anger between his eyebrows.

And her operation naturally attracted the attention of the customers in the restaurant, and the manager-like staff rushed to hear the sound, but when there were only a few meters left from the performance area, a pleasant sound suddenly wafted out.

is also the song "To Alice" just now, the same song but pops up a different atmosphere and artistic conception, if you want to describe it specifically, just smooth, then she is two points playful, three points of joy, which makes everyone refreshed.

If she hadn't done it on purpose, at least she was still a customer, so the restaurant manager didn't stop her.

I don't know if it was her piano sound that seduced the people around her, or for some other reason, he actually stretched out his right hand and danced on the keys, and deliberately gave up half of the chair. However, Lin Miao raised her head arrogantly and ignored him.

should have taken away the last note in the cheerful piano sound, but the "pianist" had already retracted his hand to end this interaction with the guests, but unexpectedly, the sad tune fluttered out of the piano sound, and after playing most of it, a hoarse singing voice overflowed from Lin Miao's mouth-

If you can't say that you love it, don't lie, just like it at all

Don't hate it, don't dwell on it, don't pretend to sigh

Be considerate of everything, forgive everything

I tried to find the answer, and the answer was simple, sadly simple

Because we grow up, we have to get used to it

Because of growth, we suddenly talk about scattering

Sometimes the people around you will really have a deep impact on you, look, Xu Mu Naniu has pestered her at school for more than two years, not only did the piano infect her, but also instilled the obsession with this song into her brain.

I suddenly wanted to play this song to him, purely ......

Lin Miao smiled, purely to ask him, why did he disperse when he said he was scattered, and then he had to pretend not to know him?

However, after a moment of silence, the person next to him suddenly spoke: "Your tone is lowered." ”

Suddenly turned his head, his eyes no longer had the previous shallow smile and tenderness, a Ling light shot out fiercely, and his eyes became colder and colder, "I'm not learning vocal music, what if I turn it down?" Do you have an opinion? ”

He looked at her quietly for two seconds, then turned his eyes away and said softly: "I have no opinion, my performance is over tonight, you can do it yourself." As soon as he took a step, he heard a cold voice behind him: "Is a professional pianist not even close the piano after playing?" ”

After a pause, he turned around, glanced at the lid and said, "I thought you were still interested in playing." ”

Lin Miao shook his head coldly: "I don't have any interest in playing the piano, there will be a few pieces in total, but it is not as good as you, the chairman of the dignified JM consortium can still come to Xining to be a pianist for a restaurant." ”

It seems that the guests sitting nearby heard her words and whispered one after another, probably shocked by the name of the JM Foundation. But the person in front of him frowned indifferently, and there was doubt in his eyes: "Did you recognize the wrong person?" I'm not the chairman of the JM consortium. ”

Lin Miao wanted to sneer and ridicule him as much as possible, but looking at that handsome face, those negative emotions gradually subsided. She asked, "What's your name?" ”

He didn't answer, and the restaurant manager walked over and asked with a suspicious face, "Mr. Lu, are you resting so early today?" ”

"This lady might need this piano, and I'll end it early." Dropping this sentence and walking quickly, the manager wanted to follow and ask something, but was stopped by Lin Miao: "What do you call him?" ”

The manager was slightly stunned, "Our pianist's surname is Lu, so we all call him Mr. Lu." ”

"Lu Mian?"

Now the manager was even more surprised: "Madam, how do you know?" Do you know Mr. Lu? ”

Not only do you know each other, but there are also new and old hatreds. Lin Miao pulled her legs and chased out, but when she arrived at the door, she was stopped by the waiter, saying that her order had not been bought, and when she finished buying the order and walked out quickly, there was no trace of the person.

The mood changed from impetuousness to calmness, and the annoyance in his eyes gradually faded, since he came here every day as a "performer", he couldn't run the temple even if he could run a monk.

However, the reality is that the monks are sometimes not in that temple.
