Scum attack, stay away from me

After a while, Mrs. Calder put a plate of snacks in front of Su Zhengliang with a smile, "Dear Su, try my cooking."

The delicately shaped burnt yellow muffins lie quietly on a white porcelain plate, with the golden carvings inlaid around the plate, giving it a special beauty.

Su Zhengliang prevaricated, "Mrs. Calder, you are too polite. I am reluctant to taste such an exquisite dessert."

Mrs. Calder pretended to be angry and said, "Su, you're welcome. I baked this specially for you. If you don't want to eat it, I'll be really upset."

"Well."

Su Zhengliang nodded, gently picked up a muffin, and bit it down.The rich flavor of butter and vanilla, with a unique burnt aroma after baking, immediately filled the whole mouth.

Although butter is added to the cream and flour, and the sweetness of sugar is added, the muffins baked will be a little greasy.However, Mrs. Calder added some vanilla into it when making it, which removed the excessively sweet and greasy taste, leaving only a faint fragrance, which seemed to warm her heart.

Su Zhengliang chewed carefully, feeling the taste of happiness, and the sadness and uneasiness on his face lessened a bit.

Seeing the gradual change of expression on Su Zhengliang's face, Mrs. Calder asked, "Is it delicious?"

"delicious."

"Do you feel happy?"

Su Zhengliang was slightly taken aback, lowered his eyelashes and moved his lips lightly, "I can feel it."

Mrs. Calder smiled kindly, "Then have another sip of coffee."

Su Zhengliang picked up the coffee cup and took a sip. The sweet taste in his mouth just now was suddenly occupied by the bitter taste of coffee, which made him frown unavoidably.

Mrs. Calder raised her chin, looked at the reaction of the person in front of her and asked, "Do you feel that the coffee today is particularly bitter, and it's even bitterer than the clear coffee you usually drink, doesn't it?"

Su Zhengliang felt a little embarrassed by his almost gaffe-like reaction just now, he nodded awkwardly, "Yes."

There was a hint of meaning on Mrs. Calder's dignified face, "Do you know why? No"

Su Zhengliang naturally understood the meaning contained in Mrs. Calder's words, "Yes, I know. Ma'am, you want to use muffins and clear coffee to tell me that life cannot only be sweet and happy, but also bitter and sad. .”

"Su, you are quite right. Now that you know that life contains ups and downs, you should understand that no one's life is smooth sailing. Laughter, pain, joy, sadness, tears, sweat, and even blood make up life. It is a complete life, and one is indispensable. When your heart is really strong, and you look back, you will find that these things have become the most precious wealth in your life."

Su Zhengliang listened carefully to Mrs. Calder's words, and slightly retracted his bony hands.

Mrs. Calder looked tenderly at the young man in front of her who was always surrounded by a touch of melancholy and sadness, "I know, in fact, you have never liked me very much. I found out from the first time you came to our house."

Su Zhengliang hurriedly corrected, "Mrs. Calder, it's not that I really don't like you, it's just that I..."

Mrs. Calder said calmly, "I know, you don't hate me, you just don't know how to get in touch with people like me. You are a kind child, full of love and compassion. But there are too many things hidden in your eyes. You are very melancholy and sad. Although you try your best to hide it, there are some things that cannot be hidden. Therefore, every time I hear your piano, I want to know why you are so sad. However, this For a few days, your piano sound seems to have changed, and you have become contradictory and hesitant. You seem to want to do that, but you dare not do it. Su, tell me, what are you afraid of?"

"I…"

When Su Zhengliang heard Mrs. Calder's question, he saw the concerned expression in her dark brown eyes, and opened his lips slightly, but he couldn't continue after only one word.

"From my husband, I heard something about you. I sympathize with your experience and feel sad for you. You are about the same age as my daughter, so I always treat you as my own child in my heart .”

Su Zhengliang twitched his eyelashes slightly, and said in a warm voice with a bit of helplessness and confusion, "Mrs. Calder, I'm sorry...I don't know how to tell you, sorry..."

"Su, you..." Seeing Su Zhengliang hesitated to speak, Mrs. Calder sighed, "Since you don't want to say it, then I can't force you."

"I'm really sorry, I can't...I'm going first..."

Su Zhengliang bowed apologetically, turned and left.

After leaving Professor Calder's house, Su Zhengliang ate something casually in a coffee shop on the street, and then went to work at Haisen Piano School.

Because today is not a rest day, not many children come to school.When Su Zhengliang walked into this five-story building, he heard a burst of exciting piano sound coming from inside.

The familiar sound of the piano expresses the emotions in the heart with strong emotions. The person who is playing Beethoven's "Pathetique" sonata will have no one else but him.

The long and narrow eyes widened slightly, and there was an unbelievable expression on his handsome face.

Su Zhengliang walked slowly to the door of the classroom where the sound of the piano came out, and looked inside.

I saw that person surrounded by a group of children, leaning over the piano and playing.The passionate melody, sonorous sound, and fast-changing complex rhythm are vividly expressed under the perfect technique of the player.

After the song ended, the children showed envious and worshipful expressions on their faces.

"Uncle, you are amazing!" A child exclaimed.

"Yeah, if only I could be as powerful as you."

A little girl grabbed the man's arm and begged, "Uncle, Uncle, I still want to hear it. Play another song."

As soon as the children heard the little girl's suggestion, they chirped again, "Uncle, what else can you play, I want to hear it too."

The man gracefully raised the corners of his lips and smiled, "Everyone wants to hear it so much, so I'll play another song, but I remember you guys are going to class soon? It wouldn't be a good idea if your uncle playing the piano here interferes with your class. .”

"Uncle, just play it, Teacher Su hasn't come yet."

The man nodded lightly, "Okay, I'll play another piece. This piece is my uncle's lover's favorite piece."

Hearing these words, Su Zhengliang opened his eyes wide.

Curiosity and surprise once again appeared on the faces of the children with different expressions, "Hey, really? I really want to meet her."

"You idiot, how could we meet my uncle's lover."

The man waved his fingers, "You all know my lover."

When the children heard it, they immediately boiled up, "Wow, uncle, tell us who it is?"

The man smiled leisurely, "This is a secret."

The little girl sat next to the man before, "Uncle, then play it quickly, I really want to hear what kind of song your lover likes."

"it is good."
