Treading snow to find mud

Time passed quickly, after this trial and conversation, it was already dark outside the window, Chen Yi was startled when he realized it, and hurriedly said: "Oops, it's already past eight o'clock, you should be hungry long ago, right? "

Tang Yao didn't pay attention to the time either. Hearing Chen Yi's words, he couldn't help but said in surprise, "I forgot to tell Shen Qing."

Hearing the name "Shen Qing" for the first time, Chen Yi's heart skipped a beat. Tang Yao took out his mobile phone and dialed a button. He didn't even complete the "beep" when a loud voice came from the other end. :

"Mr. Tang! Where did you go? If you don't contact me again, I will call the police!"

The voice was so loud that even Chen Yi could hear it clearly, and he could even hear the worry in the voice, what made him speechless was that the voice was a female voice.

Of course, how could he have forgotten that after three years, Tang Yao probably already had a girlfriend——

"I'm sorry, it's my fault, I forgot to tell you, I'm here with my friend."

Tang Yao's voice was low and gentle, but Chen Yi felt that at this moment, he seemed to hear the sound of something breaking.

"Then where are you now?" the other party asked, his voice was not as loud as before.

"I'll be back soon... Dinner is at home... It's okay, he will send me back... Don't worry..."

Listening to the conversation between Tang Yao and that person, Chen Yi felt at a loss, his heart seemed to be constricted, and his breathing was not smooth.

After hanging up the phone, Tang Yao introduced Chen Yi vaguely: "She is my father's new housekeeper, her name is Shen Qing."

Chen Yi tried his best to make his voice sound the same as before, he forced a "hmm" and said: "You just said to go back to eat, oh, that's right, after all, it's not convenient to go outside, it's too late, I'll see you off go back."

Chen Yi got up in a daze, walked a few steps, and then remembered that Tang Yao had to be pulled by himself to walk. He walked back to Tang Yao and gently pulled Tang Yao up. Tang Yao seemed to feel that he was a little anxious, He said: "Don't worry, this piano..."

"Oh, yes, you chose this one, and I'll help you pack it up and put it on the car." Chen Yi mechanically walked to the side of the workbench to fetch the piano case, put the piano in, and then pulled Tang Yao up. , said: "Okay, let's go."

Back in the car, Chen Yi helped Tang Yao fasten his seat belt, and Tang Yao asked him, "Your phone number has been changed, right?"

Chen Yi said "Yes" casually, but in fact he didn't change that number on purpose, but because it was useless all the time, he unknowingly shut down due to arrears, and when he came back a year ago, he made another one. Just canceled the previous one.

"Can you tell me?" Tang Yao asked again.

Chen Yi reported a set of numbers, and Tang Yao recorded them with his dedicated mobile phone.

"My number has never changed." Tang Yao said again.

"Ah."

On the way back, Tang Yao occasionally asked Chen Yi about making pianos, but Chen Yi answered absent-mindedly, and Tang Yao stopped asking. Chen Yi kept sending Tang Yao to the door of his house. Tang Yao opened the door and turned around To Chen Yi said:

"You probably haven't eaten, why don't you go in and eat together?"

Before Chen Yi could speak, the door inside opened suddenly, and Shen Qing's figure jumped into view.

"Mr. Tang, you are finally back. Where did you go—" She stopped talking when she saw Chen Yi at the door, and said, "Uh, this is..."

"He is Chen Yi." Tang Yao introduced him.

"I didn't know you were bringing friends..."

"Oh, it's okay. I have something to do anyway, so I won't stay for dinner." Chen Yi seemed to be speaking to Shen Qing, but also to Tang Yao.

"Alright, let's contact each other next time." Tang Yao said to Chen Yi in a gentle and authentic manner.

"Okay." Chen Yi turned around and left. He tried his best to make his footsteps sound less urgent, and finally reached the side of the car. He stopped and leaned against the car door, and he relaxed.

Just now, he saw clearly the appearance of that Shen Qing.

A pretty face, a well-proportioned figure, a hearty personality, and a pair of eyes full of worry and concern.

Chen Yi closed his eyes tightly and let out a long breath.
