you are different from the picture

Because of Liang's words, Gu Yile was rippling in his dreams at night.

Less than [-] hours before his performance on stage, he played the must-learn piece "Rigging Boat" in the piano room, and Peng Zhou played the piano to accompany him.

Jiang Yu came over after class, stood at the door and sneered, "It's back to basics."

Gu Yile, who has good ears, squinted at him: "Then you still sing along?"

"I learned it when I was young, and it's because of inertia." Jiang Yu walked to the piano and patted Peng Zhou on the shoulder, "You play well. You should be a professional and be my piano partner."

Peng Zhou had a proud face: "I think I was the best player among all the children when I learned the electronic piano in the Children's Palace."

"Tsk, why did you come to learn Titti?"

"Because the piano is too expensive, my family is poor and can't afford it."

Gu Yile listened to Zhile: "In the end, learning violin didn't save me much money."

Peng Zhou said sadly: "No, every time I change the piano, my parents have to hug each other and cry."

"Then it's not easy for you to persist until now."

"It's not bad, after all, I swore to Nightingale, life is a man of strings, and death is a dead man of strings."

"Nightingale was furious when he heard this."

Everyone laughed, and the piano room was full of joyful air.

"Anyway, it is destiny that we can gather here today." As the chief conductor, Lu Xiaodi held up the bow and said, "Our string quartet will be the brightest star on the stage tomorrow!"

I don't know if there will be any stars on the stage tomorrow. Anyway, it's raining today, so I'm sure we won't be able to see the stars.

City S, which belongs to the northern subtropical monsoon climate, rarely rains in winter. When there is movement outside, the students in the teaching building thought it was snowing, so they ran out to look at it, and found that it was at most sleet, and they were listless. And scattered.

Unfortunately, Gu Yile and the others were rushing to the teaching building among them at the moment.

Gu Yile was so crowded by the crowd that he couldn't tell the difference between south, east and north, and his face was covered with rain. He looked up in the confusion, and Peng Zhou, who was holding an umbrella, stretched his neck and shouted behind him: "Chief Jiang, come quickly!"

Then his left hand was held by the people behind him, and when he turned his head, Jiang Yu was shouting to the front: "Peng Zhou, I've got your hand!"

"Are you sure that's my hand?"

"There are violin calluses on the fingertips, it must be yours!"

So Gu Yile was dragged under the umbrella by Jiang Yulian with a dazed expression, and was sandwiched between two "lover".

Gu Yile: "... as long as you are happy, you don't have to explain the details to me."

Within two hours, the news that Gu Yile was pulled by the wrong hand spread throughout the orchestra.Because of his popularity, his cell phone kept ringing all afternoon, and he always came to express his concern (chao) and ask (xiao).

Putting down his phone, Gu Yile was even more furious when he saw the two guys who caused him to be caught in a storm of public opinion sitting by the window sill practicing a duet with "you and me".

There's a performance tomorrow, so it's not worth beating them up now.

What to do, get angry, the clockwork will dynamically reduce the fire.

It was the first time for Gu Yile to swear in Moments, a little excited and a little shy, and ran away after checking the box.

When I picked up the phone again, I found that there was an extra column ticked in the hand swipe, and family and friends were also put in it.

……

Although he only sent one sentence: I really want to cry "tat" in my boyfriend's chest muscles

There are forty or fifty messages.

Peng Zhou:?

Jiang Yu: So sour

Lu Xiaodi: Tsk

Junior a: Wow, coming out in a high profile[/扎花]

Junior b: what? ?Brother actually has a boyfriend! ! !

Relative c: Have you met the boy I introduced to you last time?

Ms. Guan Mengqing: My son is promising[/laughing]

…………

The person I most want to see didn't leave a comment, but just liked it.

Gu Yile was wronged and chased after private chat: [The person they bullied me is not around tat]

Liang should have just woken up, so he replied in a timely manner: 【Want me to come back? 】

If I remember correctly, this is the second time Liang has asked this question.

Anyone with a little common sense knows that it is not so easy to come back for a distance of nearly [-] kilometers.

But even knowing that the other party might just say it casually, Gu Yile's heart still skipped a beat unreasonably.

When he received the reply, Liang Dong checked the items in the suitcase one last time, put his bag on his back, and went out to the direction of the laboratory building.

The phone vibrated twice in his pocket, and he took it out to look at it while walking. Even though the answer was within his expectations, Liang Dong looked at the screen with a trace of imperceptible disappointment in his eyes.

【No no no, I'm just kidding】

【Study hard, come back after graduation [Gangbada.gif]】

He didn't know in what mood Gu Yile typed these two lines.

There must be an element of consideration for him and not wanting him to toss back and forth, but it must be more out of concerns, feeling that it is too early to meet now, or not wanting to meet at all.

This is not a good phenomenon, Liang Dong can already predict that even if the time is ripe, it may take a lot of effort just to ask someone out.

Maybe it was because he was anxious to own it, or maybe it was because he was afraid that he would slip away, but when facing Gu Yile, he was less patient than at any other time.

Liang Dong took a deep breath and warned himself not to act too hastily.Gu Yile is learning to accept and rely on, and one day, he will open his heart without burden.

There is a group study in the morning, which is part of the holiday homework.

When they arrived at the place, only three of the five people came, and two went home.

"Brother Liang's house is in the capital, right? There is a direct flight." Dong Junzhe struggled to move the materials he got from the factory before the holiday to the table, and he couldn't stop talking. Yes, how about it, do you want to go home and stay for a few days?"

Liang Dong put on his lab coat, came over and worked together with Dong Junzhe to carry the things on the table.

"Tickets are booked," he said, "Leaving in the evening."

Dong Junzhe was taken aback: "I thought you wouldn't go home this holiday, who knew you would leave without making a sound."

"It was decided temporarily, and I will return after a day."

"It takes more than 24 hours to fly back and forth in the sky, why don't you just stay at home for a few more days?"

"No." Liang Dong picked up the glove and put it on his hand, "Go back to do some errands, not for vacation."

It just so happens that the lab here is inseparable from people, and their team is all led by Liang Dong. If he is not around, this project may have to be delayed until the start of school.

Thinking of this, Dong Junzhe expressed his most sincere thanks to Liang Dong on behalf of all the team members: "Thank you, Brother Liang, for sacrificing your ego to fulfill your ego. When my sister-in-law comes here to see you, we will definitely take care of all the work and let you relax." Ten days and a half months of wedding leave!"

Liang Dong smiled very shallowly, but didn't reply.

At the end of the research work in the morning, Liang Dong picked up his mobile phone, thinking whether to tell Gu Yile that he was going back to China.

Going back this time is for grandpa's [-]th birthday.

Originally, it was agreed that there was no need to return, but yesterday I received a call from my mother, saying that the old man’s health has been deteriorating since the fall of this year, that he is sentimental when he is old, and talks about his grandson all the time, Liang Dong’s father immediately ordered Liang Dong to buy a plane ticket return.

Liang's mother knew that her son didn't want to go back, so she tried her best to evade it, but she couldn't bear the pressure.Yesterday she choked up several times on the phone, saying that the old man was confused. Back then, he refused to recognize his grandson because Liang Dong came out of the closet. Now that his health is failing, she is thinking about it. In the end, she said "he is your grandfather after all", which made Liang Dong completely lose his rebuttal. position.

Liang Dong booked a round-trip ticket on the airline's website that night. He arrived in the capital on the afternoon of the 24th, went home in the evening, attended a birthday banquet at noon the next day, and rushed to the airport to fly to L City in the evening. The schedule was very tight and there was no gap at all. Keep.

The reason for this arrangement is also very simple. First, he doesn't want to stay at home for too long; air ticket.

Liang Dong still suppressed this idea, thinking that he would send Gu Yile a message when he was about to board the plane, saying that he would go to the factory for a field inspection, and the signal there was not good, and he would lose contact for more than ten hours.

Compared to not being able to meet in a short time, he didn't want Gu Yile to be afraid.

However, the plan always failed to keep up with the changes. Just when Liang Dong had arranged everything and planned to eat a sandwich for lunch, and tried to finish work as soon as possible and go to the airport early, his mobile phone rang.

First, vibrate for a few seconds and then stop, and then repeat this three times.

Liang Dong took off his gloves to unlock the phone, and was still puzzled when he saw that the call was a video call instead of a voice call. Dong Junzhe, who was on the side, came over to take a look at the call note, and walked away to make room for him.

Seeing that Liang Dong was still in a daze at the door, Dong Junzhe urged: "Brother Liang, hurry up and pick it up, don't make sister-in-law wait in a hurry."

Liang Dong picked it up.

The wireless signal in the laboratory is good, and you can see the picture as soon as you connect it.

But it’s very messy and the sound is mixed. I don’t know who is in charge of the camera. Maybe the hand is covering the lens. The screen is dark. Occasionally, light flashes only for a short moment. Let alone a silhouette, there is even a clear object. Can't see clearly.

Liang Dong heard some people say "Does it hurt?" "Why didn't he pick it up?", and some people said "It's clear" and "Look, brother Le, what a handsome guy".

There was another person who seemed to be sobbing intermittently, and a few words of resistance such as "don't", "hang up" and "I don't want to watch" were mixed with the sobs.

Continuous voice chat for many days allowed Liang Dong to quickly identify Gu Yile's voice in the noise. After confirming that it was him who was crying, Liang Dong panicked and couldn't help but call out: "Lele."

He didn't get a response, so he asked, "Lele, what's wrong with you?"

There was another rustling noise over there, Liang Dong heard a girl say "he is calling you", and heard a slightly rough male voice say "quickly bury your face in his chest muscles".

After waiting for about half a minute, the phone was picked up by another person, the camera slowly came into view, and a white neck and a faintly red chin appeared on the screen.

A drop of what looked like a tear dangled from the tip of his chin, which was wiped away by a slightly trembling hand.

The crying voice was no longer as clear as usual, and became muffled, but Liang Dong was still sure who was talking to him.

"I said I don't need to beat you, but they want to beat you." The body in the picture moved slightly with the gasp, occasionally showing bright red lips, "I have nothing, just, just when the piano is tuned. The string broke and fell to the face, and there was a small, small pain."

Seeing that he was still able to hold the phone and speak clearly, Liang Dong felt a little relieved and said, "Stand back, let me have a look."

The circle of people around Gu Yile also urged him to show him quickly.

The girl said, "Look, it's not disfigured."

The boy persuaded: "It's really fine, it's just a little red, and it will be fine after a night of sleep."

Some people comforted him with personal experience: "I was hit by the strings last time, and I was numb for two hours. I will be fine when I go home at night."

Hearing this, Gu Yile couldn't calm down even more, her eyes turned red and shed tears again: "It's so ugly, I don't want the video, and I don't want to go on stage tomorrow!"

Liang Dong understood, it turned out that he was afraid of being ugly.

He said unhurriedly: "Please avoid the students around for a while, Gu Yile and I have a few words alone."

The circle of people left one after another, and the quiet atmosphere soothed the depression.

After two or three minutes like this, Gu Yile finally couldn't help it: "What are you going to tell me?"

Liang Dong looked at the small half face on the screen and asked, "Where did you hit, the cheek?"

"Hmm." Gu Yile nodded like a wronged child, showing a round and upturned nose, "The left side of the face is numb and painful, it may be disfigured."

"Did you touch the eye?"

"No."

"Then it doesn't matter." Liang Dongwen said in a warm voice, "Even if it is really broken, with the development of modern medicine and beauty, it will definitely be repaired without leaving any traces."

"What if, what if the doctors here are not skilled enough?"

"I'll take you abroad to repair it."

"Can't you do it abroad?"

"That's okay. People who like you won't dislike you because of this."

As if being comforted, Gu Yile was quiet for a while, and when he spoke again, he became confident: "But you are different from the photo... You lied to me, you look much better than the photo."

Even without straightening out the logical relationship before and after, Liang Dong still said: "You are also prettier than the photos."

"Nonsense." Gu Yile raised one hand to cover half of his face, "You can't see clearly, and I'm all, all disfigured."

Liang Dong also raised his hand, and his fingertips brushed across the small half of the face with tear stains on the screen, depicting the appearance in memory.

"It's okay." He said this for the third time today, "I won't dislike you just because of such a trivial matter."

It was getting dark in City S, and Gu Yile chatted to Liang Dong in the midst of the jingling sound of the piano in the piano room next door.

For example, this viola has been in disrepair for a long time, and the steel strings used are of poor quality. In addition, the size of the piano shaft is not suitable for adjustment for a long time, otherwise it will not suddenly break.

For example, it was the thickest string that broke. Chief Jiang of the group next door said that the probability of this is lower than that of a meteorite hitting his head. He will buy a few lottery tickets when he gets home tonight, and maybe he will be able to get out of poverty.

Another example is that he will perform on stage tomorrow. In order to prevent his ugly face from being recorded in the video, he plans to sit sideways to the audience, without twisting his neck or opening his eyes. If necessary, he may choose to wear a mask.

As he was talking, Gu Yile dully recalled how embarrassing he was crying just now, wiped the corners of his red eyes, and ordered without confidence: "Forget about this, forget about it tomorrow."

Liang Dong said yes.

"And the matter of burying the chest muscles in the morning, forget it too."

Liang Dong said yes again.

Gu Yile had just broken free from the shock, and it was the time when he needed someone to accompany him. The two talked for more than half an hour for the first time, and neither of them wanted to hang up first.

"Tomorrow is Christmas Eve," Gu Yile said, looking around the screen with his exposed eyes, and his ears turned red, "Is there any celebration in your school?"

Thinking that he would be in China tomorrow, Liang Dong replied truthfully: "I don't know."

"Western festivals should have activities." Gu Yile felt that Liang who was alone in a foreign land was a bit pitiful, so he stopped him from socializing yesterday, but let go today, "If there are, you can go to participate."

Liang Dong agreed, and Gu Yile said, "If you really don't have any, you can go to McDonald's and order French fries and a cone."

"Don't you like sweet food? You can eat it with French fries dipped in a cone. I tried it for you. It's delicious."

In fact, Liang Dong knew how to eat French fries dipped in a cone.

Many days ago, Gu Yile, who refused to accept him, sent him a photo of eating like this. Although he quickly withdrew it, Liang Dong saw it and quickly kept it.

Later, he did not reply to Gu Yile's message.

He actually wanted to reply, because every conversation with Gu Yile made him feel happy from the bottom of his heart.

But he couldn't reply, because once he replied, it might lead to another result he didn't want.

Just like he changed the destination of the ticket from the capital to S City after the video was hung up, this matter must not be told to Gu Yile until Gu Yile finds out.
