Chapter 34: The Separation Song
Soon after Zheng Wan was discharged from the hospital, he took Shi Miao to Xiao and Qing's side.
Both men were drunkards, and a short time after they sat down, they opened a second bottle of wine.
Shi Miao was also caught and drank a small glass, and the whole person was in a dizzy state at this time.
After Zheng Wan drank another drink, she said with a smile, "Shi Miao, thanks to you, this is the first time I've come here!" Xiao Youqing, how have you learned? Hurry up and let me hear it. ”
"Okay."
Xiao Youqing nodded quickly, but when he sat down, he couldn't even hold the piano steadily.
Zheng Wan smiled, "You can't do it?" ”
"I can't do it, you don't know?"
Zheng Wan blushed instantly, "Oh, shut up!" ”
After Xiao Youqing smiled, he looked at Shi Miao again, "Do you want to listen to Teacher Yu?" ”
Because of the wine, his peach blossom eyes were blurred at this time, and the curvature of the corners of his mouth was just right, and his appearance was unassuming.
Without waiting for Shi Miao to answer, he directly picked up the bow.
He played the last piece of music left by Li Jingyi.
- "Leaving the People".
The title is pathetic, but the tone is light and soothing, a lightness similar to relief and letting go.
But at this time, Xiao Youqing pulled out a completely different feeling.
His brows were tightly twisted, the hand pressing the strings was so hard, the back of his hand was a burst of green tendons, and the sound of the piano was rapid, with a kind of cathartic madness!
Or is it ...... The sorrow of longing.
Shi Miao looked at him stunned.
It was the first time she had seen Xiao Youqing like this.
Maybe it was the alcohol, and with the sound of his piano, her eyes were even a little hot.
The end of the song.
There was silence in the piano room.
Zheng Wan had fallen asleep on the table, while Xiao Youqing sat there quietly with a bow.
He lowered his head and lowered his eyes, and after a long while, he said slowly, "Back then, she died after writing this song. ”
Shi Miao came back to his senses, but did not interrupt him.
"They all said that she died of illness, but in fact, it was not ......," Xiao Youqing smiled.
"She's been dead for more than twenty years, and no one remembers her but me. And the man she had dedicated her life to had married another woman the year after her death, and the next month, their son would return home. ”
"So you know why I'm learning this tune, right?"
He looked at Shi Miao with a smile and said, "The song she wrote with all her heart and soul was finally used by me to fight for the family property, do you think she will jump up from the coffin in anger?" ”
Shi Miao wiped his eyes vigorously and shook his head.
Xiao Youqing put down the piano and walked over to her, and raised his hand to fill the wine glass, "Drink another drink with me." ”
Shi Miao did not refuse.
Alcohol soaked in the stomach, which accelerated blood circulation and made the brain start to swell.
Shi Miao shook his head and tried to sober himself up, and the people around him couldn't help but laugh when they looked at it, "What, want to vomit?" ”
"Sort of."
Her voice was hoarse, and there was a blur in her eyes as she looked at him, "I...... Can't drink it anymore. ”
Xiao Youqing felt that he must have drunk too much.
Because at that time, after staring at the person in front of him for a while, he actually stretched out his hand to her.
The palm of his hand was pressed against her cheek.
Her cheeks were hot, and the moment she pressed her palm, she immediately frowned, and then, raising her hand, wanted to push him away.
But at that moment, Xiao Youqing firmly grabbed her hand and then lowered her head.
- to find her lips.
