Cappuccino Rhapsody

When Ling Jiangyuan came out of the shower, Qi Xu had already fallen asleep.

Probably because he was tired after riding for a long time today and snatching back his things, Qi Xu went to bed very early today.Ling Jiangyuan turned off the light in the living room, and a few rays of sunlight leaked in from the window. When he passed the figure on the sofa, he stopped involuntarily.

Qi Xu didn't sleep soundly, turned over, with one leg under the quilt, nestled on the small sofa a little aggrieved.

He began to think about when the feeling between the two of them began to change—when Qi Xu moved out of the bedroom?Or earlier?

When Ling Jiangyuan came to his senses, he was already squatting beside Qi Xu, and his fingers were about to touch Qi Xu's eyelashes.

"Um……"

Qi Xu uttered an exclamation, successfully awakened Ling Jiangyuan, he quickly stood up straight, poured the ice water on the coffee table into his stomach, patted his forehead and scolded himself sick.

This is his nephew!Ling Jiangyuan walked towards the bedroom at a very fast pace, and locked the door by the way.

Ling Jiangyuan sat on the bed for a long time before he calmed down.

He took out the amulet from his pocket, the red string had been torn, and the small scratch on Ling Jiangyuan's neck had scabbed over. Everything seemed to be over, but it wasn't over.Ling Jiangyuan knew it would never end.

In fact, Jiang Rong has never been bad to Ling Jiangyuan. When she was younger, Jiang Rong earned three hundred a month, and even a year's salary to help Ling Jiangyuan buy a piano.Jiang Rong had high hopes for him since she was a child. When the children in the alley were still playing with mud, Ling Jiangyuan was already sitting in the house playing the piano, looking at the outside world enviously while playing.

At that time, Bai Ying would come to play in the alley during the summer vacation, and would always hide outside the window of his house and ask him, "Jiang Yuan, Jiang Yuan, when will you come out and play hide-and-seek with us?"

Ling Jiangyuan only played with them once, and was discovered by Jiang Rong.

That was also the first time Jiang Rong hit Ling Jiangyuan.

A long tree branch hit Ling Jiangyuan's back hard, causing countless big holes in his poor-quality clothes.

After Jiang Rong finished beating, she hugged him and cried, crying and shouting, "Mom is good to you, you have to forgive mom."

How could Ling Jiangyuan not forgive his mother? In his childhood, he could always have chocolates that others couldn't eat, and ride in game cars that others could not, but his childhood would also always have Jiang Rong's unpredictable beatings.

Since then, Jiang Rong's mood has become very unstable, she opened her mouth after being hit once, and Ling Jiangyuan was often beaten.

"mom--"

Ling Jiangyuan woke up suddenly.

There was a layer of cold sweat on his forehead, Ling Jiangyuan curled up all over, hugged himself tightly, the part of his body where the blood had been drawn seemed to be shaking, seemed to be hot, and seemed to be clamoring for his never-to-be-forgotten past.

Ling Jiangyuan seemed to wake up, but also seemed not to wake up, and fell into a nightmare of eternal drunkenness.

"Ling Jiangyuan?"

"Ling Jiangyuan!"

Until an extremely distant voice brought Ling Jiangyuan back to reality.

Ling Jiangyuan suddenly came back to his senses.

"Why are you locking the door?" Qi Xu's voice came from outside the door.

Ling Jiangyuan didn't even bother to put on his shoes, wiped the sweat off his forehead with the back of his hand, and quickly opened the door.

Qi Xu frowned and said, "What are you doing—" Seeing Ling Jiangyuan's pale face, Qi Xu's words suddenly stopped, and he reached out his hand to touch Ling Jiangyuan's forehead, "Why is your face so pale and uncomfortable?"

"It's so cold." Qi Xu shifted his gaze to his bare feet, "I don't even wear shoes."

Qi Xu squatted down and immediately picked up Ling Jiangyuan.

Ling Jiangyuan's soul was almost scared away by him: "What are you doing—"

"Stay on the bed." Qi Xu hugged him for no more than three seconds, after all, the door is only a few meters away from the bed.

Ling Jiangyuan was thrown onto the bed by Qi Xu. Qi Xu turned on the light, covered him with the quilt, and asked, "Are you sick? What's wrong?"

"...No." Ling Jiangyuan shook his head, his frantically beating heart finally calmed down because of panic, he regretted why he opened the door just now, and it wouldn't be so embarrassing if he didn't open the door, he sighed and said, "I'm fine , It’s just a nightmare. Go and rest.”

"You screamed so badly that I dared to sleep." Qi Xu said, "Don't worry about me, I'll wait until you fall asleep."

Ling Jiangyuan also got up helplessly: "Then if I don't sleep all night, you won't sleep?"

"I'll accompany you." Qi Xu yawned after finishing speaking.

Ling Jiangyuan knew that Qi Xu was a very stubborn child, since he said so, he would definitely not go back to sleep, so he could only sigh and said, "Then you can chat with me for a while."

"Okay, what do you want to talk about?" Qi Xu got excited, looking at him with bright eyes, like a small elk waiting to be fed.

Ling Jiangyuan resisted the urge to touch his head, and said, "Is there any new song? Let me help you look."

"...No, you." Qi Xu rolled his eyes, "I thought you wanted to chat with me about your daily life or love life, but you turned on your own work mode."

Ling Jiangyuan thought to himself that this is the most calm way to deal with it.

"OK." Qi Xu didn't know what he thought of, suddenly smiled inexplicably, looked at Ling Jiangyuan and said, "I just happen to have a new song, take a look."

At this moment, Ling Jiangyuan has not realized that there is a pit waiting for him.

Until Qi Xu handed over the newly written song about love to Ling Jiangyuan.Ling Jiangyuan seemed to have picked up a hot potato.

There is his name in the lower right corner, Qi Xu does not hide it, and never intends to hide it.

But seeing that little heart, Ling Jiangyuan was still a little embarrassed.

Qi Xu looked at him: "Then help me change this one."

"...OK." Ling Jiangyuan could only pretend that he didn't see it and couldn't understand it.

Qi Xu sat on the sidelines and stared at him, making Ling Jiangyuan completely unable to concentrate on his work. Whenever he was about to revise the words seriously, his name popped up in the lower right corner and called him, telling him to look at him, Ling Jiangyuan's head was about to explode—plus there was a pair of eyes staring at him, as if waiting for his performance.

Ling Jiangyuan raised his head resignedly: "This song is well written, you have made great progress, there is nothing to change."

Qi Xu said: "Of course it's good if I write with real feelings."

"Well," Ling Jiangyuan looked calm, as if he didn't understand what he meant, "It's good, I will keep it when writing songs in the future."

"Hey——" Qi Xu poked his head forward, and suddenly leaned in front of Ling Jiangyuan, took the notebook over, and said, "Ling Jiangyuan, do you still remember that you owe me a song?"

"what?"

"Just last time," Qi Xu reminded him, "I said you owe that time first."

"...Remember." Ling Jiangyuan actually never forgot, but he really couldn't be fooled.

"Very good," Qi Xu spread out the notebook, put it on the front, took out Li Lang's guitar that Ling Jiangyuan put aside, and stuffed it into Ling Jiangyuan's hand, "I suddenly thought of what song I want you to sing— —”

"Just this one."

Ling Jiangyuan looked at his name on the notebook, and felt like crying for a moment.

This kid Qi Xu usually looks silly, why is he so difficult at a critical moment?

Ling Jiangyuan always felt like he was being molested.

"You owe me." Qi Xu said.

After all, Ling Jiangyuan had never played this song before, so he was familiar with the melody for a while.The lyrics are quite straightforward. Ling Jiangyuan was even afraid that he would not be able to sing, but he had no choice but to shoot. When Ling Jiangyuan played the first melody, he sank into the emotion of the song. It became logical.

Going up a chord, Ling Jiangyuan sang the first line while looking at the book while suppressing his voice.

"Adam's apple in your hand is the code of love spoken by Cupid."

"The me who talks about love in your eyes is the eternal existence only in your eyes."

……

"Songs sung in the Garden of Eden..."

Qi Xu lowered his voice, and joined Ling Jiangyuan's voice. Ling Jiangyuan was stunned, and missed a sound, and Qi Xu pressed his hand to continue.

Ling Jiangyuan didn't dare to look up at Qi Xu, but felt that the heat from the hands holding her was enough to scald his wrist bones.

Ling Jiangyuan looked down at the lyrics on the notebook, and Qi Xu's slightly deep voice penetrated into his eardrum involuntarily.

The moonlight slanted outside the window, and the newly installed guitar strings had a very faint silver glow, which seemed to flow away with the fingertips when playing, freezing this moment into eternity.

Ling Jiangyuan feels that he is in danger at the moment, but he has no escape and can only let himself sink.

"It was the apple you gave me."

The taut guitar strings trembled for a moment.Ling Jiangyuan raised his eyes and looked at Qi Xu.

"Very good." Ling Jiangyuan took off the guitar, plucked it again, and said, "But this song is not suitable for our band."

"A slow love song," Qi Xu said, "it wasn't originally written for the band."

Ling Jiangyuan pretended not to understand: "Why, are you still planning to find someone else to go to?"

"No," Qi Xu said, "it's for...someone."

After he finished speaking, he sneaked a glance at Ling Jiangyuan. The other party lowered his eyes, unable to see clearly the thoughts in his eyes, and even seemed to be in a daze.Qi Xu secretly sighed in his heart.

Ling Jiangyuan closed the notebook and said, "Qi Xu, you are quite talented. You have grown so much in such a short period of time. I can't teach you too much."

"Enough." He looked at him and stood up, "Go to sleep. I'll sing you a lullaby."

Ling Jiangyuan smiled and said, "I'm not a child."

But Qi Xu really played the lullaby.Ling Jiangyuan turned over and turned his back to Qi Xu, the emotions he had been holding back could finally be seen in his eyes.

Qi Xu sat right behind him, and kept going.

Ling Jiangyuan fell asleep, Qi Xu carefully took out the guitar from his arms and put it into the guitar case.

Gently closing the door, Qi Xu leaned against the door for a while, and then ran around the living room twice like crazy, screaming silently, the corners of his mouth almost reaching the back of his head.

God knows how nervous he was when he took out that notebook just now.

Anyway, he finally took a huge step—although Ling Jiangyuan didn't seem to understand what he meant.

But at least he's taken a step forward.

Qi Xu took out the cell phone that he had been carrying in his pocket all the time, pressed it to end the recording, put on the earphones and listened to the song sung by Ling Jiang Yuan just now, and finally fell into a deep sleep.
