10. This is all the fault of love

Li Meiyan looked at the huge headline on the web page: Violin Genius in the Chinese World, and fell into deep thought.

I heard from my senior sister that he was born in a musical family, and his father was quite famous in the British music industry. She visited him in England six years ago. The senior sister also sighed that if he was born a few years earlier, he would definitely chase him. Like this kind of diamond king Lao Wu, she never dreamed that one day she would be allowed to meet her.

Lee Mi-yeon receives a large package, and she calls for Ma to help move it to her room. Ma Li moved the package into Li Meiyan's room, put it on the sofa, and asked curiously.

"What's so big?"

"Secret!" Lee Mi-yeon winked mischievously at Ma Li.

After dinner, Qin Feng went back to his room for the first time and obediently rushed to the manuscript, because Li Meiyan told him that the editor-in-chief had given an ultimatum.

Li Meiyan peeked through the crack in the door and went upstairs with Lu Ming. She ran to the bathroom to tidy up her makeup, picked up Chanel's lipstick and applied it, pursed her lips, and looked at herself in the mirror with satisfaction. She carried a violin case and quietly went out.

Lu Ming wrote a diary in his room, since his mother died, he had nowhere to vent, so he could only write his inner words on paper:

I wonder if I should tell her about my past? But what would she think if she knew? Of course, she is very empathetic, maybe she will understand. But I don't want her to sympathize with me. Sympathy, the last thing I need is sympathy. I hate sympathy......

There was a knock on the door.

Who's knocking at this time? Lu Ming put down his pen and opened the door, and the figure flickered in.

"There's something for you, you'll like it."

The first time Li Meiyan walked into Lu Ming's room, she looked around and saw the diary spread out on the table, and she tried hard to read the words written on it.

Lu Ming quickly closed the diary and looked at the piano case that Li Meiyan was carrying, and was quite surprised.

"I think you might need that."

Li Meiyan put the piano case in her hand on the table, opened the piano case, and a beautiful white violin lay in the piano case.

Lee Mi-yeon observed Lu Ming's reaction.

Lu Ming glanced at the violin and frowned, this was the last thing he wanted to see. How would she know?

Lu Ming looked at Li Meiyan, not knowing what kind of medicine she was selling in her gourd.

"That's right, right? The last time you participated in the competition. โ€

Li Meiyan compared the photos, and she asked knowingly.

"Please get out."

Lu Ming didn't want to answer her words.

Lu Ming's cold attitude made Li Meiyan unhappy, and no one had ever treated her like this, she suppressed the unhappiness in her heart, and said sweetly, "I hope you like the gift." After saying that, he turned around to leave.

"You take the stuff."

"You'll be able to use it."

Li Meiyan didn't look back, an intriguing smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, opened the door and left.

Lu Ming looked at the violin quietly for a while, and all the memories of the violin came flooding back.

Lu Ming involuntarily stroked the violin for a long time. He clenched his hand into a fist and brought it to his lips, his teeth biting his crooked index finger hard, tears of longing overflowing from his eyes.

That year, at the age of 18, Lu Ming won the championship of the Tchaikovsky International Violin Competition, an award that means a lot to him. Including this award, he won the 11 most important international awards.

From the age of 13, in the 5-year competition, his mother accompanied him all the way to "fight in the north and south". However, as soon as he returned to England, a scandal about his father was raging in the country.

A photograph taken by a mobile phone was published by The Times, showing his father's assistant sitting on his lap in intimate motion. As soon as the matter came to light, my father was subjected to internal scrutiny by the British Royal Orchestra. My mother was devastated and committed suicide. The death of his mother was like a bolt from the blue for Lu Ming.

At the beginning, my mother gave up her dream of being a singer for the sake of her father's career development, and took care of the family wholeheartedly, taking care of her father and him meticulously, and keeping the house in good order.

For this family, his mother, who gave everything to her, was betrayed by her father, which made him unacceptable.

It all happened so suddenly, he was caught off guard, as if he had fallen from the clouds to the ground in hatred.

His mother's suicide made him hate his father, and even his humanity and life began to doubt. What he didn't expect was that he lost the ability to play the violin because of this.

His father took him to many famous hospitals for a full body examination, and the doctor's answer was almost the same, saying that he was a mental illness, not an organic disease.

He has since become self-defeating. After not playing the violin, he lost the direction of his life and completely closed his heart. In addition to seeing a psychiatrist, he was locked up in his study at home all day, or he stood by the lake in a daze, whether it was rain or snow.

The only person he was willing to see was his master, who taught him how to bartend, and Jake, his old friend. He met Jake when he was 13 years old.

That year he won his first international award, and his mother arranged a celebration for him, and it was at the celebration banquet that he was fascinated by Jake's fancy cocktail technique, which felt like art.

Jake was invited by China Cup Island to be the referee of the Wave Cup Bartender Competition, unfortunately Jake was ill, so Lu Ming went instead of him, he vaguely felt that Lu Ming might be able to find something back in his place of origin, and this trip back to China could be more or less helpful to his "illness".

Lu Ming couldn't push back and had to embark on this trip.

Li Meiyan thought that her gift would definitely have an effect and shorten the distance between her and him, but it backfired. As soon as she appeared, he was bound to walk away, like two repulsive magnets, unable to stay in the same space. She couldn't figure out what was wrong? Is it because I'm afraid that I will reveal his identity? Why did he deliberately hide it?

A mist rose from the sea, and the misty night shrouded a cup of the sea. Kiki hugged ET, put on headphones, hummed a song, and went upstairs to go back to his room to sleep. Didn't notice the deer chirping around the corner.

Lu Ming listened to the song she hummed: still leaning on the sleepless night, looking at the stars in the sky. I still hear the violin, crying and teasing. Why is there only a crescent moon left, and it will stay in my sky this night, and then the sound will be cut off......

E.T. lay on Kiki's pillow, Kiki turned off the light, and heard the violin in a daze: 0 3 3i. 7i.ยท3 3โ€”3 5 5 6 4...... She thought it was a dream, but it sounded so good! She fell asleep and slept soundly.

Lee Mi-yeon had an unexpected receipt. Before, she pounced on it hotly, but she didn't notice that Lu Ming cared about Qiji. Jealousy and hatred rose in her heart;

'I've never missed a beat. We'll see! โ€™

Early the next morning, as soon as Kiki went out for a run, Li Meiyan chased after him from behind.

"Sister, no wonder you maintain such a good figure, it's really enviable. From now on, I will run with you every day. โ€

"The air here is good, not to mention how cool it is to run by the sea."

"Who hand-painted the postcard in your hand, awesome!"

Li Meiyan walked into the study on the second floor, where Kiki was sitting, gesturing with a postcard.

"Is New Year's Day coming soon? I don't want to draw a batch of custom postcards. But I haven't figured out how to send it out yet. โ€

"I know some celebrities, so why don't I send them as New Year's Day gifts, and ask them to take a photo of the postcard and send it back, so that you can also accumulate some popularity on Meituan. Walk around the traffic. โ€

"It's too much trouble, isn't it?"

"No trouble, no trouble, no effort."

Qin Feng was puzzled by Li Meiyan's stammering all day long. He knew that this woman was unprofitable and could not afford to be early. But he couldn't guess what her purpose was. He didn't want Qiji to suffer, and kept paying attention to Li Meiyan's every move.

I asked a friend to promote a postcard of the Miracle Hotel, and there was a reply. Lee Mi-yeon wanted to delete the email when she received it, but she had a new idea. With her laptop in hand, she knocked on the door next door.

"It's just so that you're here, you can help me see how the books from this publishing house are."

Qi Ji was about to order a set of "Dictionary of Ancient Chinese Architecture" online, but there were many versions online, and she didn't know which one to choose. I was very happy to see Li Meiyan coming, and I just asked her to help with the staff.

"You see, this is a new collector's edition, but this publisher hasn't heard of it. The Ancient Books Publishing House also has a set, which was released in 2008, and it has been 10 years now, and the version is too old. Of course, the ancient book publishing house is very famous. But you see, this new collector's edition is beautifully bound and comes with a lot of pictures. I chose for a long time, but I couldn't make up my mind. You work in a publishing house, have you ever heard of this publishing house? โ€

"This kind of book is very professional. For those of us who don't engage in ancient architecture, it looks obscure. โ€

"I'm a gift for a friend."

Li Meiyan has already guessed that the friend she said is Liu Cheng, and he is the only one here who specializes in this.

"You want me to ask you, I have friends in this publishing house. If it's really good, I'll ask a friend to send a set over, and I can get the internal price. โ€

"Good! Thank you. โ€

"Don't be polite to me."

"By the way, what is the matter with you coming to me?"

"The postcard I talked about last time that asked the celebrity to promote the hotel has already had a few reply emails. You see. โ€

Lee Mi-yeon opened the computer cover and showed the celebrity photos attached to the email to Qiji one by one.

Kiki couldn't be happier to see it. She is grateful for Lee Mi-yeon's help. The relationship between the two has grown by leaps and bounds, and the sisters have become commensurate.

Li Meiyan was lying on the bed, faintly hearing the sound of the violin, and she sat up from the bed excitedly. But listen carefully, "Midnight Serenade", isn't this Qiji's favorite song? He actually used the piano I gave him to play to others. Angry, she grabbed the pillow and skimmed it out.

The courier contacted Li Meiyan, and Li Meiyan explained to the courier and made an appointment to deliver the goods at 14:30.

"Sister, I really like that wood carving, you help me cut the price."

"I'm not going to bargain."

"If you open a shop here, the boss will definitely give you face."

"I don't think the boss will ask for less money just because I open a hotel here, right?"

"Not necessarily."

Li Meiyan found a reason and deliberately pulled Kiki out.

At 14:30, the courier was delivered to the Miracle Hotel on time, and the courier went directly to the counter to find Lu Ming to help sign for it.

As soon as the courier left, Li Meiyan took a step back to the hotel before Qiji, and when she saw the package on the bar, she pretended to be curious and asked, "Whose courier is it?" โ€

"Boss's." Lu Ming replied.

"It should have been a birthday present for Mr. Liu."

Li Meiyan deliberately complained, "She specially asked me to help buy it from Shanghai." Actually, I didn't know that friend well, but she repeatedly begged me for help, and we got along so well that I couldn't help without helping. It seems that she really has good intentions for Mr. Liu! โ€

Lu Ming heard Li Mi-yeon say this, and realized that Kiki's kindness to Yoo Cheng seemed to be beyond the concern between friends.

"Sister Qi seems to like Mr. Liu? The two of them are really a good match. โ€

"Did she tell you?"

"Does that need to be said?"

A word to wake up the dreamer. It is true that Liucheng has always been very close to Qiji. To say that they admired each other, I am afraid that the whole hotel took it for granted.

'Am I not superfluous?' โ€™

Lu Ming couldn't breathe in pain when he thought of this, and a feeling of dizziness hit him, and he was a little unsteady on his feet. None of this escaped Lee Mi-yeon's eyes. After such a long and careful layout, it is about to be time to close the net.

"Are you alright? Your face is not very good, I'll help you upstairs! โ€

Lu Ming pushed her away. He's mad at himself. He felt like he was too useless, 'What should I do?' He asked himself.

Lee Mi-yeon poured him a glass of water.

"Meiyan, I've been looking for you for a long time, but you came back first."

Qi Ji walked in from outside and saw Li Meiyan pulling Lu Ming, and the two seemed to be very intimate.

The two of them turned their heads at the same time when they heard Kiki's voice.
