[Rebirth] Black lotus watered with sugar water

This is a large empty room, the inside is dark, and there is no light, it is dark from the inside to the outside, only a little moonlight, and a huge thing can be seen blocking the moonlight, and behind it seems to be the shadow of a person , pulled very long.

The night wind was blowing, and Shen Yue was sitting by the piano, with a tiny lotus lantern on it, the dim light could only illuminate a thin sheet of music.Shen Yue turned his head, his eyes were fixed on the front, strictly following the music score, he pressed the keys one by one accurately, proficiently and smoothly.

His hands are slender and fair, with fingertips jumping on the cold black and white background, they look beautiful and dignified, and they are naturally suitable for playing the piano.

Gu Ningyuan came back from the dinner, refused Liu Ma's hangover soup, went upstairs alone, and saw this scene outside the door of the most remote corner on the second floor.

Shen Yue started learning piano four years ago.Apart from reading and studying, he didn't have any hobbies. He suddenly said that he wanted to learn the piano. Gu Ningyuan was very supportive. He found a good teacher for Shen Yue, chose a piano that suited him, and even tidied up a room on the second floor. Soundproof and quiet, the most suitable for practicing piano.

Shen Yue walked around the room happily, carefully sliding his fingers over the brand new piano.

In fact, when preparing for these, Gu Ningyuan's heart moved, and an inexplicable idea suddenly popped up. It's just that he has never touched the piano for many years from his previous life to the present, and he has no experience in teaching others, so he was afraid that Shen Yue would be a rare thing. His interest was ruined by teaching, but the loss outweighed the gain.

Gu Ningyuan thought about it for a while, and finally suppressed his thoughts, so it's better not to.

Shen Yue said at the side: "When I play well, I will play it for my brother."

It's a pity that after so many years, Shen Yue's fingering has become more and more proficient, but when it comes to progress, there is really not much.

Playing the piano is a thing that is highly valued by talent. Talented people get twice the result with half the effort, and those without talent get twice the result with half the effort.The respected piano teacher once concluded that Shen Yue had no talent for these arts, and he didn't have any emotions to blend into them.But after so many years, his music is also very good in the ears of outsiders. There is no other reason. What Shen Yue is good at is nothing more than patience and persistence.

The breeze lifted the curtains, and the tree shadows came in from the wide-open window. The long branches and complicated leaves were mottled and intertwined, shaking, only Shen Yue's shadow was still standing upright alone, motionless, but as if Swaying in a moving background.

The last note fell, and the song ended. Shen Yue put his hands on the keys weakly, a little frustrated. He spent so much time and energy, but he couldn't play the piano well.

"Your piano, always like this, always, doesn't play well."

Gu Ningyuan leaned on the door frame with his upper body, only showing a small side face, and commented casually.

Shen Yue knew that he didn't play well, and he didn't care what others thought, but he never wanted Gu Ningyuan to hear it.At this moment, his face was flushed, as if frightened, his hands were pulled away from the keys, and he retorted in a low voice, "I didn't ask you to listen..."

Gu Ningyuan turned his head away, smiled at Shen Yue, raised his eyebrows with some teasing taste, "Huh? Didn't you say you wanted to play it for me back then?"

"...How can you remember what happened so long ago?" Shen Yue lowered his head, the hair that was too long around his ears hanging down in front of his eyes, covering his trembling eyebrows and eyes, "Besides, at that time, it was said that he had to play well before he played. What I want to hear for you is not now..."

Gu Ningyuan walked in front of Shen Yue in two or three steps, and the jacket on his arm slowly slipped off with a crisp "click".He was only wearing a white shirt, probably due to the heat, he unbuttoned a few buttons on his chest, and stood in front of the piano in an oppressive manner, brushing Shen Yue's hair with one hand, his movements were almost tough, but Shen Yue Jo was too obedient.

He has always been like this, full of trust.

Shen Yue intuitively sensed that something was wrong, but the person in front of him was Gu Ningyuan, so he couldn't feel any tension, he was still relaxed, but he had other ideas.Taking advantage of the situation, he poured it into Gu Ningyuan's hands, and his voice was soft like a baby, "I still don't know how to play it now, brother, teach me, okay? I haven't played it for so many years, so I can't do it anymore?"

His eyebrows and eyes are vivid and charming, even the lenses can't hide the innocence and liveliness in his pupils, like black grapes hanging on the branches and growing fresh.

When Gu Ningyuan saw it, the anger from the banquet dissipated, and the rest was full of ironic posts about being coquettish and obedient to this child, but he was too good at understanding people's hearts, which made people feel distressed.

"Okay, I'll teach you." Gu Ningyuan's tone was gentle, and he didn't care about Shen Yue's naughtiness at all.He picked Shen Yue up from the chair and sat down by himself. Shen Yue became a little bun. The whole person was in Gu Ningyuan's arms, but he didn't look like he was when he was a child. His hands and feet could only curl up awkwardly. Shen Yue He looked very happy.

After everything was adjusted, Gu Ningyuan rested his fingers on the keyboard, paused for a while, and pressed a few times rather unfamiliarly.

Shen Yue opened his eyes nervously.

After the initial adaptation, a beautiful and smooth melody suddenly sounded. It was the piece played by Shen Yue just now. The same melody sounded completely different, like a dream, soaked in endless sadness and joy.

Gu Ningyuan's piano was taught by Qin Shu. He was talented and willing to please Qin Shu, so he learned it very well.When she was a child, it was Qin Shu who played to Gu Ningyuan. Later, when she grew up, Qin Shu's health became worse and worse, so she could only listen to Gu Ningyuan and applauded for him on the recliner.

Her expression was gentle, yet sad, "Ning Yuan, you played really well."

Qin Shu is a pianist, but she doesn't even have the strength to play the piano.

So after she left, Gu Ningyuan never touched the piano again, not because he hated it, but if he had to find a reason, it was probably because he had no reason to play the piano again.

This letting go, past and present, has been decades.

After the song was played, the last syllable finally fell.

Shen Yue was full of admiration. He had only vaguely heard Liu Ma say that Gu Ningyuan played the piano very well, but he had never really heard it.

Gu Ningyuan turned his head and nodded his nose funny, "How about it, is it enough to teach you?"

Shen Yue was a little embarrassed, touched her nose, and the tip of her nose was slightly red.

At this time, it was a summer night with a bright moon and few stars, and it was quiet outside, only the slight humming of cicadas, the sky was woven like black velvet, with only a few stars falling on it, soft and peaceful.

Gu Ningyuan drank a lot of wine at the banquet, and when he saw Xiao Mou, he was a little drunk when he came back, reeking of alcohol.He doesn't care about Xiao Mou, it's just that their family ruined Qin Shu's heart, even before he died, he had to entrust him to take care of him as his family's heart, even after many years, Gu Ningyuan has grown into an indifferent and rational person , and couldn't help but feel upset.

But now, let Shen Yue mix it up, most of the smell of wine dissipated, and all anger disappeared.

Gu Ningyuan paused for a while, then said lightly: "If you don't know how well I play, would you have played the piano for so many years?"

Shen Yue frowned, and quickly retorted dryly, "I don't know, how could I know!"

"Huh?" Gu Ningyuan chuckled, his voice was low and gentle, as if hitting Shen Yue's heart, neither light nor heavy, like a small brush, making Shen Yue's nerves itchy.

Shen Yue hesitated for a moment, and suddenly forgot the original lie.

Gu Ningyuan touched the back of his head, "Kid, don't lie."

In fact, the reason why Shen Yue is so persistent in learning the piano, even if he didn't know at the beginning that it could be attributed to interest, but later on, it can always be seen that Shen Yue doesn't like it.No matter how long the days go by, Gu Ningyuan can almost guess the reason.

I probably heard something from Liu Ma, maybe I only know a little, and the rest is a set of words.But no matter what, I just wanted to make Gu Ningyuan happy, so I made my own decision to learn how to play the piano for Gu Ningyuan to listen to.

Just like Gu Ningyuan's childhood described by Mama Liu.

With a definite goal, this matter was planned very well. Shen Yue is also different from ordinary children. What he lacks most is the perseverance to persevere. The discount can be calculated, and there is one condition missing.

Too bad he has no talent.

Even after persisting for four years, Shen Yue still couldn't give Gu Ningyuan the sound of his piano. There was a clear intention in that, and he couldn't stand shoulder to shoulder with Qin Shu, but at least, he could be comforted a little.

Let Gu Ningyuan touch the piano and play the tune today, Shen Yue's four years of hard work were not in vain.

Gu Ningyuan was silent for a long time.

He looked at the corners of Shen Yue's curved lips, his heart softened and softened, and suddenly he couldn't contain his hidden thoughts, so he hesitated rarely, and finally said with difficulty, "Actually, I haven't touched the piano for so long, it's not as sad as you think .”

Shen Yue pursed her lips, and only then did she realize that what Gu Ningyuan said she knew was so accurate.

It was as if the gift that had been painstakingly prepared was observed from the beginning, from simple to complex, and in the end it was not enough to be given away, but I was still stupid.

Gu Ningyuan continued, "I just think that since I was a child, I played the piano for her, and played it for her. Now that there are no one to listen to the piano, it's meaningless to continue playing."

Gu Ningyuan's words became more and more fluent. He never told others about his own thoughts before, thinking that he was cowardly and useless, and it was just an excuse to vent.

But it's different now, if he wants to say it, at least he can't waste Shen Yue's heart.

Shen Yue never expected that Gu Ningyuan was not sad, but simply didn't want to. For a moment, he felt that he had done stupid things for four years, and his whole body froze, unable to speak.

But now I found it again.

Gu Ningyuan added a sentence in his heart.

He sighed, "When you are so stupid, you always can't learn the piano, and you don't like it, so don't learn it again."

When Shen Yue heard this, she felt a sense of loss, and the faint smile on her face subsided.

"But it's okay," Gu Ningyuan's tone changed, gentle and helpless, "Although you can't play, I can play for you, would you like to?"
