the landlord is a former

"Jinzhi, come back with me!"

Shi Qingyuan's eyebrows were sharp, his face was gloomy, and the moment he saw his daughter, he became even more angry.

The child lived peacefully at home for a few days, and he thought she was slowly getting used to it, thinking about giving her more freedom, he stopped letting people watch her.Yesterday afternoon, Jinzhi said that he was too bored and wanted to go out for a walk. He sent a driver and a servant to follow him, but he lost him in the shopping mall. He was so angry that he scolded the two of them and searched everywhere.

It wasn't until the eldest son told him that he was at a friend's house that he temporarily let go of his heart.

No matter what you say today, you have to bring people back.

Shi Jinzhi was startled, and hid behind Fu Baiqiu, holding onto the hem of her clothes tightly with both hands, "I won't leave, I will stay here."

"you……"

Shi Qingyuan held back his anger, glanced at Fu Baiqiu, put on the air of a dignified elder, and said: "Miss Fu, our whole family is very grateful for the help you have given, but Jinzhi is my daughter after all, As a father, I have the obligation and responsibility to take care of her and protect her, and her current situation is not suitable for living outside, and living here may cause you trouble."

His chin was raised slightly, his gaze was like a torch, and his tone was unhurried. Although his words were polite, his eyes revealed arrogance.

The princess who was spoiled and raised by the Shi family was loved by thousands of people since she was a child, and she was too wronged to live here.

Good self-cultivation made Shi Qingyuan not speak out.

But Fu Baiqiu is not stupid. She has been dealing with corpses for seven years, which doesn't mean she hasn't seen all kinds of living people, nor does it mean that she hasn't seen big and small scenes. At this moment, she naturally sensed Shi Qingyuan's arrogance.

As expected, this father has always been like this.

The people behind her tightly grasped the corners of her clothes and sleeves, she nodded and said with a smile: "Uncle is right, then..."

Do you want to ask Jinzhi for his opinion?

Before he could say this, Shi Qingyuan turned his eyes to the dodging daughter, and said in a harsh voice, "Jinzhi, go back."

He is not discussing, but informing, whether the other party understands or not can not stop what he wants to do.

When Shi Jinzhi heard the first half of the sentence, he didn't expect Maomao to change his mind so easily, he panicked for a moment, and yelled at the so-called father: "It's my freedom to live wherever I want, and it has nothing to do with you!"

Being pushed by her daughter like this, Shi Qingyuan couldn't hold back, and was extremely angry. He stepped forward and grabbed her by the wrist, dragging her out, "Go back to me!"

The old man joined the army and fought at a young age. He has excellent physical fitness and great strength. Even in his sixties, his arms are like steel tongs. When he tried hard for a moment, Shi Jinzhi staggered forward and almost fell down. .

"I'm not leaving...Maomao...Maomao..." Panicked, she tried to grab Fu Baiqiu with one hand, even the hem of his clothes and his hair.

But there was nothing, she only grasped the air in her palm in vain.

In the end, I had to hug the back of the sofa.

Shi Qingyuan was determined to take her away, he held her underarms with both hands and dragged vigorously, the loose pajamas slid up, revealing half of the snow|white waist|line, she was almost lying on the ground.

The older brothers and sisters stood watching, anxious and helpless, in a dilemma, and wanted to step forward to stop them, but they were quite apprehensive.

Originally, my father wanted to come over last night, but he stopped him. At that time, the old man was angry and threatened to teach Jinzhi a lesson. If he came like that, he might really hit someone on the spot.And he promised Fu Baiqiu to bring his luggage today because he wanted to persuade his father with Rongzhi first, but he didn't expect the old man to be too angry to persuade him, so he didn't bring any luggage this time.

The siblings also feared the father.

"Maomao...help me..." Shi Jinzhi struggled and resisted to no avail, tears rolled in his eyes, and he called that person's name in his mouth.

The voice is hoarse.

Fu Baiqiu stood with his eyes lowered, motionless, his hands hanging by his sides clenched into fists, and a trace of tangle flashed in his deep black pupils.

Yesterday she promised Shi Jinzhi that she could live here for at least one year according to the contract period. Perhaps she had no choice but to make excuses for herself. In short, she acquiesced to keep him.But today, the old man came to take people away in person, with a tough posture, no room for negotiation, and his arguments were indeed well-founded, she didn't know how to refute, let alone how to choose.

Is it to cut off all contact and never communicate with each other, or...

My heart felt like being bitten by insects, dense tingling pain spread out in the flesh and blood, a little sore and swollen.

She squeezed her palms tightly, her knuckles turned white, heard the hoarse cry for help in her ears, then gritted her teeth and turned her face away.

Shi Rongzhi noticed her movement, frowned slightly, and couldn't help casting a reproachful look.

Is the relationship between the two really what you think it is?

Watching Jinzhi being dragged away, indifferent, even if it's not that kind of relationship, just as a friend, it shouldn't be.

"Dad—" Shi Hengzhi couldn't stand it any longer, so he opened his mouth, but the old man glared at him and said angrily, "You two don't know how to help!"

"..."

"Dad!" Shi Rongzhi couldn't bear it anymore, and stepped forward to pull his father away, "Did you forget what the doctor told you?"

Shi Qingyuan was taken aback for a moment, then subconsciously let go, and she took the opportunity to take him out.

Inertia made Shi Jinzhi's center of gravity unstable, and she fell to the ground all of a sudden. Her brother ran over to support her, but she pushed him away.

Shi Hengzhi: "..."

Shi Jinzhi sat on the ground in embarrassment, raised his eyes to look at the silhouette of the man behind his ears, his eyes were sad and mournful.

After watching for a long time, no one looked back.

She silently lowered her eyes, smiled wryly, and stood up by herself, leaning on the sofa.

Fu Baiqiu stood like a sculpture, felt the scorching gaze behind his ears, and panicked inexplicably, not daring to look back.

"Dad, don't be angry, I know you are worried about Jinzhi, but if we care about it now, it will be chaotic and it will be counterproductive."

While comforting his father, Shi Rongzhi analyzed patiently.

"First of all, the doctor has repeatedly told us not to provoke Jinzhi, don't let her have too much mood swings, and try to follow her in everything. Look at the situation just now, is it exactly the same as before Jinzhi entered the hospital last time? "

Shi Qingyuan had a sullen expression on his face, the remaining anger was still there, and he remained silent.

The last time my younger sister stayed at the elder brother's house, the old man wanted her to go back to live in the same way. There were disputes over and over again, and she fainted and was sent to the hospital. She slept for three days and woke up like this.

This is a family scandal and should not be publicized.

Shi Rongzhi suppressed his thoughts and continued: "Secondly, Jinzhi only remembers Xiao Fu at present. The two of them have been friends for more than ten years. You have met Xiao Fu before. He is not a messy person outside, and he knows the background to some extent. , firstly, you can rest assured, and secondly, Jinzhi lives with familiar people and feels comfortable, maybe he can recover his memory as soon as possible?"

"Besides, Jinzhi just has a memory problem. She is fine and can take care of herself. She is not a three-year-old child. You don't need to keep her under your nose and watch her every day."

"Finally, Dad, you have always valued family style and face, but today's trouble is not equivalent to making others laugh at you?"

After finishing the call, the old man frowned.

She was about to continue persuading, when Shi Qingyuan suddenly sighed, waved his hands and said: "Forget it, I'm also a sinner. I'm already old, and none of my sons and daughters will let me worry."

She pursed her lips and smiled, but said nothing.

"Go in and tell them, sit down and have a good talk, I have a request." The old man began to give orders.

"it is good."

Shi Qingyuan's so-called request is very simple, and he still puts the etiquette first and then the soldiers.He offered to give Fu Baiqiu 10 yuan per month as living expenses for his daughter, and an additional 5 yuan as Fu Baiqiu's labor expenses. He asked her to take good care of Shi Jinzhi and report the situation to Shi's family in time.Then, sympathetic to her troubles, he would send two servants from home to take care of their daily life.

If it were someone else, they would probably understand the old man's behavior as an insult, but Fu Baiqiu would not, she knew Shi Qingyuan was like this.

"There is no need for labor fees. I am not responsible for being a nanny. If I don't charge this money, the servants will also be exempted. I don't like too many strangers at home. As for the living expenses, I can give it directly to Jinzhi." She said lightly, generously. Looking at Shi Qingyuan, the attitude is neither humble nor overbearing.

Unexpectedly, the old man was not angry, but readily agreed.

Several people chatted for a few more words and reached an agreement for a period of one year.

Shi Hengzhi and his father left first, saying that they would run alone after a while to bring the younger sister's luggage, but Shi Rongzhi didn't leave for a long time.

She glanced at her younger sister, then at Fu Baiqiu, and asked with a smile, "Miss Fu, can I speak for a while?"

Shi Jinzhi, who was as unresponsive as if in meditation, suddenly raised his head, grabbed Fu Baiqiu's arm forcefully, and looked at his sister with a hint of vigilance, "What do you want to say to Mao Mao?"

During the consultation just now, she lowered her head and did not speak the whole time, her expression was in a trance, motionless, as if the whole world had nothing to do with her.

Fu Baiqiu was taken aback, perhaps out of unwarranted guilt, she lightly shook Shi Jinzhi's hand, and said softly, "It's okay, just for a while."

Left and right are just telling her to take good care of others, otherwise there is nothing else to say.

Shi Jinzhi was flattered, she thought she would be pushed away.

"Then...just for a while." She bit her lower lip and let go of her hand.

Shi Rongzhi watched helplessly, got up and walked out the door, Fu Baiqiu followed and closed the door behind him.

"Miss Fu, the relationship between you and Jinzhi should be more than just friends, right?" My sister asked straight to the point, staring at her face intently.

Those sharp eyes were like a sharp knife, easily cutting through Fu Baiqiu's heart. She was secretly startled, her face remained calm, and she asked, "What does Miss Shi want to say?"

"Don't hide it from me." Shi Rongzhi shook his head, "Jinzhi and my elder brother were spoiled by me since we were young, and he was a bit rebellious, and I know my father's temper, so we won't tell many things about Jinzhi. he."

"Including sexual orientation."

Fu Baiqiu's mind buzzed, and a huge wave surged in his heart, but the more disturbed his heart was, the calmer his eyes became.She said lightly: "No, you think too much, we are not that kind of relationship."

"really?"

"Ah."

"Well, it's okay if you don't want to disclose, I respect you." Shi Rongzhi bent his lower lip, with a hint of melancholy in his smile, "My sister will cause you trouble for a while, I'm really sorry .If you need anything, feel free to contact my elder brother, he is more convenient in China. Then...Jinzhi will ask you to take care of him."

I don't know if he was thinking too much, but Fu Baiqiu sensed a hint of commitment to her life from her tone and eyes.

It was like marrying my sister to her.

【Maomao, where shall we hold the wedding in the future】

【Why do you want to get married】

【Want to see you in a wedding dress, see you marry me】

【fool】

The past came to my mind, the words I said, the familiar faces in my memory, all pierced my heart like a needle, it hurts a lot.

Fu Baiqiu collected his thoughts and said in a low voice, "You're welcome."

Shi Jinzhi sat on the sofa anxiously, stretched her neck and looked towards the door, and finally waited for Fu Baiqiu to come in, she stood up with a "squeak" and watched the man hesitate to speak.

Fu Baiqiu froze for a moment, looking into those dark and deep eyes, a strong sense of guilt welled up in his heart, and he was at a loss for words for a while.

"What did my sister say?" she asked cautiously.

"She said..." Fu Baiqiu's nose was a little sore, "She is very worried about you, so let me take good care of you."

When she thought of the man calling her name heartbreakingly just now, but she was indifferent, her heart couldn't stop trembling, her hands and feet were cold for a moment, she was anxiously wandering in self-blame and senselessness, and couldn't breathe.

She said she was the only person she could trust.

And she betrayed her trust.

Realizing that this was the source of his heartache, Fu Baiqiu became more and more flustered, and even regretted agreeing to Shi Jinzhi to stay.

Then what awaits me will be a little bit of repetition and deep sinking?

"I can take care of myself." Shi Jinzhi thought she was too troublesome and felt that he was a burden, "You don't have to take care of me..." His voice became smaller and smaller, as light as a mosquito.

These words made Fu Baiqiu enlightened, and realized that he was swaying again.People are not afraid of not being kind enough or cruel enough, but they are most afraid of indecision.

She made up her mind, took the initiative to walk over to hold Shi Jinzhi's hand, and said seriously: "Since it is according to the contract, then I agreed to let you live for a year, and I will not go back on my word. From now on, you can rest assured , I won’t drive you away unless you breach the contract yourself. Don’t have too much psychological burden.”

She looked sincere and solemnly made this promise.

Shi Jinzhi looked at her, took a deep breath, blinked his eyes, and said "um" in his nasal cavity, showing a relieved smile.

"What do you want to eat tonight? I'll go grocery shopping." Fu Baiqiu let go of his hands, with a gentle smile in his eyes.

Shi Good Baby Jin Zhi whispered, "I'll eat whatever you eat."

She is so good.

This word should not have appeared on Shi Jinzhi who was once defined by Fu Baiqiu as a fairy.

Fu Baiqiu went to buy vegetables, and before leaving, he told Shi Jinzhi the password of the gate again, and gave him the key to the courtyard gate.Not long after, she came back on the front foot, and Shi Hengzhi brought the luggage over on the back foot. Unlike the simple box when she moved it last time, this time she pulled a whole truck and brought a servant to help carry it.

Clothes, bedding, toiletries, etc. are all brand new and the best.

Like moving.

The big bedroom is not enough, so I put some in the small bedroom and living room, and the whole first floor doesn't look so empty.

After dismissing the nagging brother, Shi Jinzhi began to tidy up the house. According to the terms of the contract, she could only move around on the first floor.

The family was worried that she would be wronged, so they were very thoughtful in all aspects. There were even brand new pots, pans, ovens and other things in the luggage.

Shi Jinzhi secretly made a plan, first keep a proper distance from Maomao, wait for her to understand herself and the world clearly, and figure out what happened before, and then take her time.

So when she saw Fu Baiqiu offered to help, she naturally and politely said thank you.

Turning to a charger, Shi Jinzhi remembered that the phone was out of battery, so he plugged it in and waited for a while, then turned it on, and the interface prompted to enter the password for the first time.

What's the password?

When the battery is low, she will charge it. She hasn't turned off her phone these days. Obviously, she is confused.

"What's the matter?" Fu Baiqiu raised his head inadvertently and asked, she was helping her organize her cosmetics, which were still the brands she used to love, a batch of old ones, and a batch of new ones, the family was interested.

Shi Jinzhi held the phone, his eyes full of confusion: "I don't remember the password of my phone..."

Fu Baiqiu paused, panic flashed in his eyes, "Isn't it fingerprint unlocking?"

"A password is required for the first boot."

"..."

Fu Boqiu suddenly felt his scalp tingling. If this person knew that the password was his birthday, if he had to ask, she really would not be able to tell clearly with ten mouths.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind.

"I'll try." She took the phone away, entered the four-digit number to unlock it with trembling fingers, clicked into the settings, and changed the password to the other party's birthday.

0416.

Fu Baiqiu returned the phone calmly, "I tried it out once, it's your own birthday, 0416."

"OK, thanks."

This man was so polite, she felt a little embarrassed, looked at the time, got up and said, "I'm going to cook."

Shi Jinzhi nodded and continued to organize things.

When the items were packed, she couldn't wait to turn on her computer.When I was at home, I wanted to see if there were any clues inside, but I was so focused on finding Mao Mao that I forgot.

The computer automatically connected to wifi, and the desktop wallpaper turned out to be the photo of the desk in the phone's photo album...

Shi Jinzhi's heart twitched, his hands trembled, he didn't know whether it was nervousness or excitement.There are very few desktop icons, only Recycle Bin, Computer Manager, WeChat, Mailbox, and three folders.

To her disappointment, the contents of the three folders were about music.

Unwilling to give up, she opened the mailbox again.

More than 100 unread emails, all in English, accumulated from the first half of the year to the beginning of this month.

Shi Jinzhi clicked in one by one to browse, as easy as writing in his native language. Among these emails, there were more than [-] signing invitations, which were also advertisements. There were many record companies in the United States and Germany.

She read her Weibo, and she terminated the contract with a company called KRI at the beginning of the year, and the rest of the subsequent developments were related to the piano.

There are ins, facebook, twitter...

At this time the phone rang.

Shi Jinzhi's thoughts were interrupted, and he was at a loss when he saw the note "Dean Xu" on the call.

"Hello. Who is this?"

"which school?"

"is it?"

"Uh……"

Fu Baiqiu brought the stir-fried dishes to the table one by one. He didn't feel it when he bought the vegetables, but when they were fried, he found that they were all Shi Jinzhi's favorite flavors. The two of them had a high degree of overlap in their preferences.

When she looked up, she saw Shi Jinzhi sitting on the piano bench with her chin propped up in a daze.

"time to eat."

The man came back to his senses, got up and walked over, his eyes wandering, "Maomao, someone called me just now, saying that he was the dean of the music school, and asked me if I was busy recently, and if I wanted to arrange a substitute class... I Did you encounter a liar?"

Fu Baiqiu paused for a moment with his hand holding rice, "No."

Shi Jinzhi: "???"

I thought everything was settled, but I didn't expect that there are still many unknown things.

Fu Baiqiu sighed helplessly, handed her a pair of chopsticks, sat down himself, organized his words briefly, and said, "We went to the UK together in 06, and you signed a three-year contract with KRI's London branch. After graduating in 10 years, I will return to China. Yes, you stayed in London. During this period, you have been focusing on your music career. I don’t know exactly how. You terminated your contract with KRI this year. You returned to China in August and worked as a professor in the Piano Department of Rongcheng Conservatory of Music. class, now you just don’t remember.”

A brief description, one stroke.

But Shi Jinzhi grasped another important point, "Three-year contract? Then why did I terminate the contract this year?"

When it came to that past, Fu Baiqiu was reluctant to recall it. She lowered her head and poked the rice with her chopsticks, and said casually, "After the contract expired, you renewed it for ten years."

They hadn't broken up yet.

Fu Baiqiu had seen the renewed contract, and felt something was wrong at the time, and advised Shi Jinzhi to think carefully, but because of his lack of experience and unfamiliarity with that field, he couldn't explain why, and his agent had always been suspicious of Jinzhi. Very good, they all trusted her, and finally signed.

The contract that was supposed to expire in two years was terminated early this year, which seemed to confirm her intuition back then.

"There should be two more years..." Shi Jinzhi seemed to be talking to himself.

"do not know."

Fu Baiqiu shook his head indifferently, got up and went to the kitchen to bring an empty bowl, filled half a bowl of soup for her, "Drink some soup."

"Thank you." Shi Jinzhi said flattered.

She thanked her one mouthful at a time, being polite and considerate, Fu Baiqiu was stunned for a moment, and said nothing, an indescribable complex feeling surged in his heart.

Both of them ate very quietly, chewing slowly and rarely making any noise.

"Maomao, are you rich?" Shi Jinzhi suddenly raised his head and asked.

Fu Baiqiu looked slightly stiff, raised his eyebrows, and said, "I don't have money without you."

"Ok?"

In 09, Shi Jinzhi had not yet graduated, and his annual income was equivalent to more than 2000 million yuan. He had a set of properties in London, Berlin, and Rome.

It will only be more and more year after year.

It is conceivable that Shi Jinzhi paid a great price for the termination of the contract, so that now he has less than 30 yuan left.

After ten years of struggle, I will return to before liberation.

awful.

Seeing that she was silent, Shi Jinzhi also wisely stopped asking, and ate quietly with his head down.

"You played "Moonlight III" this afternoon, right?" Fu Baiqiu asked, holding a chopstick for her.

"Thank you." This person has formed a conditioned reflex, first being polite, and then "hmm".

Fu Baiqiu frowned slightly, feeling helpless, "It seems you remember."

"Maybe, I can understand the score as soon as I see it. As soon as I put my hands on the keys, I know which one to press next. It seems that I can't control it..."

"Very good, otherwise it would be a pity."

Shi Jinzhi puffed her cheeks, poked her chopsticks back and forth in the bowl, and secretly looked up at her, "Maomao, are you—"

Do you like it very much?

Before he could say this, Fu Baiqiu interrupted softly as if he could predict it: "I'll play "Two Tigers" after dinner."

"Well——" Shi Jinzhi almost choked himself to death, coughed twice, his face flushed slightly, "Don't!"

"Then "Dream Wedding"."

"Maomao, can you have some taste?"

"Me?" Fu Baiqiu deliberately teased her, raised his eyebrows and smiled, "I'm from the village, and I like to listen to popular music. Besides, Richard can't play classical music, but he can also compose music, can you?" ?”

"Who said I can't!" Shi Jinzhi was angry.

Fu Baiqiu didn't hold back, he laughed loudly, and stretched out his hand to pinch her face.

Afterwards, Shi Jin realized that she was teasing him, and suddenly his expression was in a trance, and a familiar feeling came up, almost breaking out of the ground.

It seems that a long time ago, there was such a scene between them.

But it was just a blur of light and shadow, broken fragments.

"Don't tease you, let's talk about business." Fu Baiqiu restrained his smile, "Do you want to go to the hot spring on New Year's Day? It's in a nearby county."

Shi Jinzhi suddenly came back to his senses, "What?"

"Hot springs."

"Okay." She glanced at Fu Baiqiu's neckline, suddenly thinking about the soft...

Her cheeks were slightly hot, she pursed her lips and snickered, and lowered her head.

"why are you laughing?"

"It's nothing." Shi Jinzhi took a bite of the vegetable, chewing and swallowing it unhurriedly, "Shall we go together? A world for two?"

After she finished speaking, she realized that she had spoken quickly and said something she shouldn't have said, but it was too late to regret it.

She carefully observed Fu Baiqiu's face.

The man just shook his head, and said lightly: "There is also my apprentice."

"apprentice?"

"Well, also a colleague."

Shi Jinzhi paused with her chopsticks, and finally remembered the matter she had neglected. Looking at Fu Baiqiu's indifferent face, she asked inadvertently, "What do you do?"

There was a long, soundless silence.

"Maomao?"

Fu Baiqiu's eyes darkened, and his apprehension flashed away, "I'll tell you, don't be afraid."
