Chapter 28: After School
Of course, Xiao Yao didn't know anything about Shen Jie's worrying interpersonal relationship at this time.
He had just said goodbye to Ouyang Qianqian, left the "Zhongshu Tower", and walked briskly towards the experimental building.
The orchestra's classroom should be in ...... Fourth floor, ah, yes.
Far away, Xiao Yao heard the melodious cello sound.
Xiao Yao recognized this piece as Paganini's "Variations on a Theme of Moses (Moses)".
Yu Luying told him that this was a variation on the theme that Paganini composed based on the melody of Rossini's opera "Moses in Egypt", and that it was written on the theme of the music of Moses' prayers.
Xiao Yao remembers that the first time he heard this piece was at the school celebration performance in the first semester.
He will not forget that the sun was shining that day.
Yu Luying was wearing a pure black dress, and on the rostrum of the playground, Shi Shiran walked out of the orchestra girls in the same costume and started her solo.
She was tall, looked good in her costume, and made her skin look extraordinarily pale.
Xiao Yao didn't have the opportunity to learn music theory, he couldn't appreciate any cello variations, and he couldn't even hear what the main theme was, he just looked at Yu Luying stupidly, as if everything around him had faded and dissipated.
He was very sure that Yu Luying that day had a light on her face.
He was puzzled why he knew Yu Luying and became good friends with her for several months, and he found out that she was like this on the first day...... Pretty.
Yu Luying's eyes were filled with clear water, as if it would drip down at any time. Sometimes she looked sadly into the distance, as if she was looking forward to some kind of future, and sometimes she closed her eyes and bowed her head, like a girl's quiet prayer.
Xiao Yao fell in love with her at that moment.
He shook his head, dispelling the not-so-distant memory, and crept to the door of the instrumental music classroom, quietly peering through the crack in the door.
The melodious sound of the piano came to an abrupt end, and the girl put down the strings in her hand and looked this way.
Xiao Yao was shocked, and simply pretended to be casual and pushed the door open: "You are here, I feel that your finger hurts, so come and seeββ"
He raised his hand to show Yu Luying his fingers.
Yu Luying stretched out her finger with a band-aid and lowered her head: "I'm sorry, I was accidentally ...... by the strings I'll pay attention next time. β
"Oh, it's okay, I'm relieved if you're okay." Xiao Yao pretended to say in a relaxed tone.
Yu Luying pursed her lips and pushed her hair behind her ears: "Thank you." β
An awkward silence ensued, and neither of them moved.
"By the way, last night, your mother ......" Xiao Yao hesitated to speak.
"It's time for me to go back." Yu Luying stood up and began to organize her case.
"Let's go get something to eat." Xiao Yao blurted out.
Yu Luying didn't speak, just lifted her piano case and walked out with her head down.
-- Dividing line --
"Next timeβI'll ask you for both times, and that's a word."
Xiao Yao held a few strings of honey-glazed chicken thighs and beef tendons in his hands, walked to the small square table outside the store and sat down, and placed them on the iron plate in front of Yu Luying.
Then, following her example, he drew a cross on his chest and put his palms together: "I'm moving!" β
At this time, the sky was getting dark, and Yu Luying was biting on the chicken while looking at the street corner in a melancholy daze.
"I mean, it's been a long time since we've been here to eat, and we used to come here a lot." Xiao Yao took the stubble.
"Where did you run again?" With a crisp ringtone, Mr. Yao sent a text message.
"It's because of you." Yu Luying opened her mouth suddenly, and her tone seemed to be talking about someone else's business.
"What?"
"Mom was angry because I lied to her." Yu Luying said softly: "I was helping you make up lessons after school last week, but I lied to my mother that the orchestra was going to practice...... Yesterday she found out......"
Xiao Yao was a little messy: "No, I'm ...... Why? β
Yu Luying didn't answer his question, but Gu Zi continued: "Yesterday you came to me, she was even more angry. β
"I'm sorry, I'm just worried about you." Xiao Yao said apologetically.
Yu Luying shook her head, and a negative sound of "uh-huh" came out of her nose.
"Why does your mother hate me so much?"
"She doesn't hate you." Yu Luying put her focus on the word "you".
"That is, you are not allowed to fall in love?" Xiao Yao guessed.
"That's not really," Yu Luying pursed her lips: "But, you, no." β
"Doesn't that still hate me?" Xiao Yao held his forehead.
"Fortunately, Teacher Yao talked to her mother for a long time, and her mother's attitude eased a little." Yu Luying placed the sticks in her hand neatly on the iron plate, took out a tissue to wipe her mouth, and wiped her hands again: "You ...... yesterday Got a shower? β
"Teacher Yao is a good teacher." Xiao Yao decided to only pick up the previous one.
"Teacher Yao is a good teacher." Yu Luying repeated it with certainty.
"Thank you both." A light rider slowly stopped next to the food stall and turned off the fire.
"Teacher Yao!" Both children subconsciously stood up.
A middle-aged man took off his helmet and hugged it to his chest, revealing the sparse top of his head: "You two, you, alas...... Yu Luying, don't let your mother worry too much, go back early. β
Yu Luying nodded and picked up her schoolbag: "Goodbye, Teacher Yao." β
"Are you leaving?" The next sentence is to Xiao Yao.
Xiao Yao raised his leg and straddled the back seat of the light horse: "Then, Yu Luying, see you tomorrow." β
ββ¦β¦β
"Don't look at it, everyone is far away." Teacher Yao put on his helmet again and started the engine: "Silly boy, this can be reconciled, it's really yours." β
"Teacher Yao, why does Yu Luying's mother hate me?" Xiao Yao reached out and grabbed Teacher Yao's waist.
"She doesn't hate you." Teacher Yao's rhetoric is exactly the same as Yu Luying's.
"What the hell is going on?"
"Hey, other people's parents are considering other people's parents, how can I tell you?" Teacher Yao twisted the accelerator and rode out.
Xiao Yao's body leaned back, and he had to hug him tightly.
