Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Cold Man
She didn't seem to have any good friends, and she didn't like to talk to anyone except Effie at the table, who could talk to her. She just missed someone, and she felt that only that Chen Feiming could be worthy of being friends with her. She always believed that they would see each other again, and she wanted to tell him how important he was to her, and that she was no longer the little girl who looked at him at the piano, but a thoughtful, talented young woman of knowledge.
But he and his mother seem to have evaporated from the world. She often went to the piano shop in her childhood, such an arrogant and cold girl, but she put down her body and asked the boss about Chen Feiming's whereabouts.
Until that day, she finally let go for a while. In an alley where Yu's middle school passed home, she met a man who was as cold as her, making her unable to believe that there would be a man in this world who would make her heartstrings flutter again.
He is tall, handsome, sven, sunny, elegant, and he seems to have all the characteristics that describe the beauty of a man. He was wearing a black tunic and a jade tree in the wind. He didn't even look at her. This made her, who was accustomed to everyone's admiration, inexplicably feel neglected for the first time.
She has hated anyone's neglect of her since she was a child, and the birth of her younger brother Junchen and the change in her father's attitude have made her more and more sensitive. She became less inclined to talk to her father, and she could feel that he didn't love her very much, or even didn't trust her. After losing her father's favor, her heart became more and more hard as iron.
After school for several days in a row, she met this lonely boy like her, who never looked at her from beginning to end, and seemed to be empty-eyed.
She didn't know what his name was, she just felt that he was very similar to Chen Feiming, if Chen Feiming grew up, he should be like this, and he would have this arrogant temperament.
On this day, it was raining heavily, she was holding an umbrella, and she ran into him again, he had no rain gear, and he was drenched like a chicken in soup.
She accidentally slipped under her feet and fell in front of him, and her beautiful little umbrella fell on the bluestone pavement on the side.
She hoped that he would lift him up, but he looked at her and did not help her, but pretended not to know. It was a boy walking behind him, holding an umbrella, and at the same time bent down and stretched out a hand to pull her up. Maybe in normal times, she would never pay attention to this kind of ordinary man, but today she was helped up by that ordinary man.
The ordinary man was flattered and said, "Are you Tan Yiyi?" My name is Yang Zhenhai. I've seen your piano performances, and I've seen your poems, it's beautiful. ”
Yiyi smiled faintly and said, "Really? These are nothing. ”
Yang Zhenhai said: "Is this nothing? You are too modest. By the way, your clothes are dirty, what should I do? ”
Yiyi said, "Don't do it, thank you." You are much more polite and polite than the cold gentleman who walks with his head bored! ”
Gao Lengnan really stopped, turned around and said to Yiyi very simply: "Tan Yiyi, do you think you are a unique sun?" Does everybody have to revolve around you? It seems to me that you have no warmth, because I don't see any warmth in you. So I won't be warm to you either. Why do all the people have to revolve around you? ”
Her self-esteem has been hit hard, and no one has ever said that about her since she was a child. She was tempted to lash back, but quickly kept her emotions under control. She straightened her skirt, gave him a faint look, and turned to leave.
Looking at Yiyi's back, Gao Lengnan and Yang Zhenhai felt very surprised. A trace of guilt appeared on Gao Lengman's face, but he didn't know that the face behind her graceful back was extremely distorted anger, and those beautiful eyes were full of resolute hatred.
After Yiyi returned home, she saw her parents arguing again, she walked towards her bedroom as usual, and Tan Wei stopped her: "Yiyi, don't go into the room yet, your mother has something to say to you." ”
Yiyi looked at her mother's already haggard face, and said lightly: "Say, do you want to leave your father again and let me go back to Suzhou with you?" ”
Shuying wanted to stop, but said resolutely: "I promise this is the last time I will ask you." ”
Yiyi said impatiently: "Mother, why do you always use me to blackmail my father?" I don't care why you quarrel with each other, why you act like enemies every day, I just want to say, I don't want to go anywhere, this is my home. ”
Shuying's eyes dimmed.
Tan Weicai said coldly: "Listen, you defend her every day, and because she quarrels with me every day, she still won't go with you in the end." You always say she'll change her mind when she grows up, but how? There's no way she's going to leave with you, Shuying, it's time for you to wake up! Live your life! ”
A fat boy of twelve or thirteen years old wearing suspenders and holding a kite was sweating profusely from the garden, and Ah Hui ran behind with fruit: "Little master, take a rest and eat some fruit." ”
Yiyi pursed the corners of his mouth: "The little master is the little master, and he is already lawless." ”
Tan Weicai replied to her coldly: "Haven't you been like this since you were a child?" ”
Yiyi said proudly: "But I am self-disciplined and love to learn more than him, unlike him who knows how to eat and play all day long." ”
Tan Weicai shouted: "He is your younger brother." ”
Yiyi said: "Dad, I know you love your baby son very much, but everything has a degree, he is the successor of our Tan Ji Tobacco Shop, why is it that at the age of twelve, he is still like a four or five-year-old child, one day I don't know how to study, crazy, I started to learn to write and play the piano at the age of four or five!"
Tan Weicai was about to get angry, Tan Junchen ran over and grabbed Yiyi's hand and said, "Sister, are you back?" Shall we play kite flying together? ”
Yiyi said tiredly: "I still have to do my homework, you let my father and mother play with you!"
Tan Junchen looked at Yiyi's impatient appearance, and said guiltily: "Sister, I'm sorry, Junchen made you angry." ”
Tan Weicai said to Shuying: "Look at how bad her attitude is towards her brother, you don't care." ”
Shuying said: "I don't care, what about you?" Haven't you been the head of the family since your mother's death? Why don't you care? Do you have to let me take care of it? ”
Yiyi said to her mother: "Mother, I remember that you were not like this when you were a child, you were very gentle and kind at that time, and now why have you become a third aunt and six mothers-in-law?" You and your father will never quarrel, it is better to save this energy to read books and drink tea. Also, I'm sixteen years old, so I don't need you to take care of it. ”
Then, under the eyes of her parents and younger brother, she walked into the bedroom and slammed the door shut.
