7 Chapter 7
Shi Yumeng's words were like a sharp blade, piercing the seemingly solid camouflage on the surface.
Liang Xiaohan put away his carelessness, and his expression became dark and gloomy.
"If you dare to talk nonsense to her, then don't blame me for being rude."
"Sure enough, I was right." Shi Yumeng sneered, "You two are quite compatible, pretending to be stupid to each other, enjoying themselves, but pitiful Mr. Liang's future girlfriend, who is destined to be kept in the dark and played around, and I don't know who is more responsive between you." ”
Wen Jingyu stood behind the tree, her originally straight shoulders slightly drooping as if she had unloaded her strength at this moment.
It was a midsummer night, but she was like an ice cellar.
She couldn't hear the next conversation between the two clearly, and Shi Yumeng's words just now were enough to embarrass her.
Liang Xiaohan asked her why she always blocked his contact information, and this was the reason.
Even others can see it clearly, not to mention her and him in the game.
If Liang Xiaohan only regarded her as an ordinary friend, Wen Jingyu's reaction would not have to be so resolute.
But she can clearly feel his differential treatment, if he was too ignorant when he was a child, then now everyone is an adult, and the subtle changes in feelings can be noticed with a little snack.
No one wants their boyfriend to have an ambiguous female "good friend" next to her, and she doesn't want to be blamed for this kind of thing.
The two conversations had long since disappeared, and Wen Jingyu stared at the landscape lights not far away for a while, until she couldn't stand the infestation of mosquitoes at night before she slowly walked away.
After walking to the door of the box, she didn't go in, but turned to the waiter guarding the door and said, "Excuse me, can you help me take out the satchel and piano case in that position?" There is also a mobile phone. ”
She pointed to the place where she had sit, and Liang Xiaohan was not there at this time, it was a good opportunity to slip away.
After picking up her personal belongings, Wen Jingyu did not hesitate for a second and immediately left the hotel.
The hotel is located in a wetland park with only one way in and out, and instead of taking a taxi, she walks along the bluestone paved sidewalk.
The night was low, the moonlight was obscured by mist, and a strong wind suddenly blew.
At first, Wen Jingyu didn't care, and it wasn't until her forehead and arms felt the coolness of the rain dripping that she had to speed up her pace.
The rain was relentless, falling heavier and heavier, smashing on the asphalt pavement and splashing densely.
Except for the street trees on both sides, there was no shelter from the rain on this road, Wen Jingyu could only run at speed with the piano case in her arms, she remembered that there was a bus stop at the corner of the intersection, which was the nearest foothold.
The wet clothes were not very comfortable sticking to her body, Wen Jingyu pulled indifferently, she cared more about her piano case.
The roof of the station is made of stainless steel plates, and the rain curtain like a bead curtain crackles on it, and you close your eyes and listen, especially like the applause of the audience when the symphony orchestra closes the curtain.
Obviously in a very embarrassing situation, Wen Jingyu laughed that she was still in the mood to use her imagination.
She took out her mobile phone and wanted to take a taxi, which was estimated to be due to the sudden change in the weather, and there were more than 100 people queuing up on the software.
Just as she was struggling whether to continue to wait or give up, in the pouring rain, a slate-gray Bentley came to an emergency stop in front of the bus stop, and the license plate number looked a little familiar.
Immediately after the rear seat door was opened, a large black umbrella was the first to poke out, and the moment the umbrella surface was opened, it was like an inky rose blooming in the dark night.
The man's leather shoes and suit trousers were instantly wet with the rain, but he didn't care, his steps were firm, and his goal was clear and clear.
Wen Jingyu just watched Zhou Rongye get closer and closer to her.
He slowly lifted the umbrella, revealing first a sharp Adam's apple, then a smooth jawline, thin lips, a straight nose, and finally a pair of sharp deep eyes.
"It's raining heavily, I'll send you back."
Wen Jingyu lost her mind for a moment.
In the dim light, it is really easy for people to be in a trance, and she feels as if Zhou Rongye has fallen from the sky.
The rain and the chill on her skin made Wen Jingyu have no more choice, she thanked the man and sat in the back of the Bentley.
"Put it on."
Zhou Rongye picked up the blazer he had put on the passenger seat and handed it over, along with a pack of opened tissues.
Wen Jingyu's silk shirt was still seeping with water, she looked at Zhou Rongye's expensive coat, she was afraid that it wouldn't be wet, so she didn't reach out to pick it up after this hesitation.
"It's going to catch a cold."
Seeing that she didn't move, Zhou Rongye simply went straight to put on her clothes.
"Thank you."
Wen Jingyu sighed, she always seemed to say this to him.
The driver in the front seat had a very stable driving technique, and after the car drove out of the wetland park and got on the main road, he asked out loud: "Mr. Zhou, where to go first?" ”
Zhou Rongye asked him to go straight first, and then turned his head sideways and asked Wen Jingyu, "Where is your home?" ”
The slanting wind and rain regularly beat on the car windows, blurring the strange lights on both sides of the road, and the street scene is like an oil painting soaked in moisture, which looks a little unreal.
"Jiahe Mingyuan on Zhongshan North Road, is it a stop?"
The driver glanced at the navigation display, and before he could speak, Zhou Rongye answered: "By the way." ”
"I'm sorry."
"You're welcome."
The carriage fell silent, the car stereo was turned on at the right time, and Chopin's B-flat minor nocturne slowly flowed out.
Wen Jingyu held the pack of tissues and patiently wiped the corners of the piano case, she had tried her best to maintain it just now, but the surface of the box was still inevitably drenched in rain.
In order to be completely reassured, she opened the lid again and checked the body.
Zhou Rongye took her gentle and delicate movements into his eyes, and his gaze was a little meaningful.
"You're playing the viola."
In just one sentence, Wen Jingyu's heart suddenly trembled for no reason.
What he said was not a question sentence, but an affirmative sentence.
"How do you know?" She looked up at him in surprise.
Because she doesn't say it, others always think she plays the violin.
The similar appearance is only one-seventh the size larger, and who cares.
It's the first time she's met such a sure answer.
Zhou Rongye didn't respond, but raised the corners of his lower lip very lightly.
Chopin's nocturne had already been played, and the next intro was just released, and Wen Jing knew whether it was Handel's Passacaria or her familiar violin duet.
"Do you like classical music too?"
Zhou Rongye nodded his head: "Sort of." ”
Wen Jingyu thought that this was the reason why he knew about strings.
She also had a curious thing.
"Are you going home too? The dinner isn't over yet. ”
"And what about you, why did you leave the table early?"
Wen Jingyu didn't expect him to ask rhetorically, so she made an excuse in a plausible way: "Hmm...... It's a bit boring. ”
Zhou Rongye raised his eyebrows: "It's a coincidence, I think so too." ”
After saying this, the two couldn't help but look at each other and smile, and their eyes quickly separated after a brief contact.
For some reason, Wen Jingyu always felt that Zhou Rongye seemed to have a strange tacit understanding with herself in some aspects.
Halfway home, Liang Xiaohan's phone finally came in, and his tone was eager.
"What about you? The waiter said you're gone? ”
Wen Jingyu glanced at the time, more than half an hour had passed since she left the hotel.
She made an excuse at random.
"Teacher Cui is looking for me, I'm afraid that I will go back first if there is something urgent.
Liang Xiaohan's worries gradually dissipated, and he thought that those jokes on the table annoyed her, after all, the nickname of "Princess Wen" was not called in vain, and Wen Jingyu sometimes got angry and no one would give face.
"Why don't you tell me and let the driver send you, how did you go back in such a heavy rain?"
Wen Jingyu pinched the phone and glanced at Zhou Rongye beside him with her spare eyes, the man's posture was relaxed, his hands crossed around his chest, and he was resting on the back of the chair with his eyes closed.
She swallowed her saliva and said slowly, "Take a taxi." ”
It's not an ordinary car.
"Taxi or ride-hailing? Tell me the license plate number. ”
“……”
Wen Jingyu really can't answer this question, and that string of serial numbers doesn't sound right.
"I'll tell you when I get home."
Worried that Liang Xiaohan would continue to ask, Wen Jingyu quickly hung up the phone.
Twenty minutes later, the car stopped at the main entrance of Jiahe Mingyuan, and the driver wanted to drive directly into the community, but was politely rejected by Wen Jingyu.
Such a swaggering car, whether it is bumped into by parents or seen by neighbors, is an extremely headache to explain.
"It's enough to trouble you, now that the rain is lighter, I can walk in on my own."
Wen Jingyu took off the suit jacket on her body and returned it to Zhou Rongye, straightened out the satchel and piano case and prepared to get out of the car.
The driver had opened the backseat door for her.
"Wait." Zhou Rongye handed her the black long-handled umbrella resting at his feet, "Don't get drenched in the rain." ”
Wen Jingyu glanced at the sky, took it and asked, "Then how will this umbrella be returned to you when the time comes?" ”
The dim halo of the street lamp penetrated into the carriage, but it still couldn't let people see the whole picture, half of Zhou Rongye's face was hidden in the dark, and his deep voice reminded Wen Jingyu of the viola with the closest timbre to the human voice.
I'll see you again, he said.
……
The happy hot bath washed away the dampness and fatigue on the body, worried that he would really catch a cold tomorrow, Wen Jingyu also made a cup of hot brown sugar ginger tea before returning to the room.
As soon as he lay down on the bed, there was a noise outside the door, accompanied by the muffled snort of the dog.
Wen Jingyu jumped out of bed and went barefoot to open the door, flicking its furry tail in circles.
"Circle in circles, you haven't slept so late." She touched its head.
The circle has always stuck to her, and Wen Jingyu simply dragged its kennel mat into the room, letting it sleep in its own room tonight.
After settling in circles, Wen Jingyu lay back on the bed and began to swipe her mobile phone, Liang Xiaohan made a few phone calls later, she reported safety on WeChat and didn't plan to call back, but she didn't finish Zhou Haoyin's news.
Wen Jingyu carefully browsed, Zhou Haoyin said that she had signed up for an equestrian class, but the time conflicted with the violin lesson, and the racecourse was far away, so if you went back and forth from the city, the lessons on both sides could not catch up.
So she asked Wen Jingyu if she could take time to go to her home to teach her, and the class fee could be doubled.
The next day, Wen Jingyu studied her class schedule after arriving at the institution, and then called Zhou Haoyin.
"Yin Yin, I took a look at my class schedule, if it is according to the original time, I may not be able to come to teach you at home, because other students' classes still need to be coordinated, or I will help you consult with other teachers to see if they can cooperate with your time."
Zhou Haoyin on the other end of the phone was instantly deflated: "No, Miss Wen, I'm just here for you, I just want to take your class, is it a problem with the class fee?" I can add it on my side, after all, I made the request first, which is indeed a bit rude. ”
"It's not about the money." Wen Jingyu smiled, "The other teachers in the institution are also very good, you can trust my judgment." ”
Zhou Haoyin was a little anxious, and kept saying "No", Wen Jingyu didn't expect the little girl to be so dependent on herself, and she was still very moved.
She glanced at the calendar on her desk, silently made a decision, and proposed, "Or do you have time for Friday and Saturday?" Those two days are my days off, and I can come to my home to teach you, but then you will have to compress your classes into two days for a week. ”
Of course Zhou Haoyin didn't mind, she was ecstatic: "Yes, of course!" ”
"Not afraid of my devil training?"
"A strict teacher makes a high apprentice!"
The two chatted for a while, and the matter settled so quickly.
Zhou Haoyin sent an address, No. 1 Yueyang Lake, which is a well-known rare villa area in Luhai City, and a garden house listed for sale in the first half of the year broke the transaction price record of domestic villas.
Wen Jingyu stared at the position, her eyes moving slightly.
There is really such a coincidence in the world, and Liang Xiaohan's family is also here.
