Second Piano Concerto

Qin Haiou punched so hard that Ah Si's body was tilted, and he fell to the ground, and his glasses flew out.Qin Haiou was so angry that he went up to grab him and was about to beat him again. Tan Shuo saw that it was okay, so he hugged Qin Haiou's arm and dragged him back without wiping his nosebleed.At this time, the guys on both sides were also alarmed, and they came out of their respective yards one after another.Seeing that Tan Shuo had failed, Amao was so frightened that he asked him if he was okay, and the guys from the inn also came to help separate Qin Haiou from Ah Si.Zhuzhu arrived later and saw that Tan Shuo's bridge of nose was swollen, his nose was bloody, half of Ah Si's face was swollen, and the corner of his mouth was cracked. Qin Haiou was the only one who looked good, so she asked Tan Shuo, "How did this happen?" ?”

Before Tan Shuo could speak while sniffling, Qin Haiou took a step forward and said to Ah Si: "Why do you hit someone!"

Ah Si received a solid punch, and managed to pick up the glasses from the ground and put them on. He had already lost a bit of his aura, but when he heard this, he became furious again: "You fucking bully people for a reason?!"

Qin Haiou persisted: "Apologize to Tan Shuo!"

It wasn't Tan Shuo that Ah Si wanted to hit at first. Seeing that Tan Shuo was accidentally injured, he felt a little guilty, but now he would not admit it in front of Qin Haiou, and said with a blushing face, "Who told him to meddle in his own business!"

"You—" Qin Haiou struggled angrily, but was still dragged by the guys, so he couldn't break free this time.

"Okay!" Zhuzhu scolded, "Let's all go in first! Isn't it embarrassing to be arguing here?"

So all the guys pushed and pulled Qin Haiou and Ah Si back to the inn.Tan Shuo asked Amao to go back to look at the store, and he followed. First, he blocked his nostrils with a tissue, then found a chair and sat down, leaning his head on it.

Qin Haiou had calmed down quite a bit at this time, walked to Tan Shuo and sat down, stared at Ah Si warily, turned around and asked, "Do you want to go to the hospital?"

"No, no." Tan Shuowen said in a low voice, turning his head to look at him, "Is your hand okay?"

Qin Haiou moved the joint of his right hand: "It's okay."

"Don't do this kind of dangerous action again." Tan Shuo said again.

Qin Haiou frowned and remained silent.Ah Si has not said a single word since entering the room.The three of them were speechless for a while, and the guys saw that they didn't look like they would fight again, so they went to do their own things.After a while, Zhuzhu came back from the kitchen, holding two simple ice packs just made in her hand, first handed Ah Si one, let him apply his face, and poured a glass of water for him to rinse his mouth, then turned to check on Tan Huge nose.

"Ouch! Gently, gently!" Tan Shuo began to yell when he saw the ice pack pressed against his nose.

"I haven't met you yet!" Zhuzhu said contemptuously.

"Do you want to go to the hospital?" Qin Haiou asked again.

Zhuzhu checked it carefully: "It's okay, just apply it." Then Tan Shuo asked Tan Shuo to hold the ice bag by himself, "Who beat you?"

After she asked, she immediately thought that among the three, only Tan Shuo and Ah Si were unsuccessful, and the answer seemed obvious: "Did Ah Si hit it?"

"Accidental injury, accidental injury." Tan Shuo said calmly.

"Then who did he want to hit?" Zhuzhu wondered, "Then who hit him?"

"He was beaten by Xiao Qin." Tan Shuo sighed and briefly explained what happened.

Zhuzhu looked at Qin Haiou in surprise, at first she thought she had heard wrong.Qin Haiou lived in the inn for more than half a year, not to mention losing his temper, he never said a single serious word.Just now she was one step late and didn't see Qin Haiou and Ah Si being pulled away by the guys. Now that Tan Shuo told her that Qin Haiou had beaten someone, Zhuzhu found it unbelievable.

"This matter is actually a misunderstanding," Tan Shuo said to Ah Si after finishing his speech, "Xiao Qin is not the kind of person you think. He didn't mean to break the appointment."

"How do you know he's not?!" Ah Si said angrily, "Does he dare to say that he didn't promise Xiaojin yesterday?"

Tan Shuo was a little helpless.In fact, as early as Ah Si questioned Qin Haiou, he had already guessed what Nalan Jin might have said to Qin Haiou at the party yesterday, but at that time Qin Haiou was extremely nervous and absent-minded, so he didn't leave any impression on her words. I don't even remember that I agreed to it.However, it was really difficult to explain the details of yesterday to others, not to mention that it was about Qin Haiou's most private secret, so Tan Shuo naturally couldn't tell the truth.

Just as he was hesitating, Zhu Zhu said: "Si, this is your fault. Even if there is any conflict between Xiao Qin and Xiao Jin, it is a matter between the two of them. You come to ask Xiao Qin Xingshi for your crimes." What is it, have you considered Xiaojin's feelings? If Xiaojin knows about today's incident, what do you think she will think?"

Ah Si was speechless by what she said, staring at the ground in silence, Zhuzhu turned to Qin Haiou again and said: "Xiao Qin is really, if there is any misunderstanding, please explain it clearly, Ah Si doesn't understand you Don’t you understand? He hit Lao Tan by mistake and you hit him? How old do you think you are?”

She winked at Tan Shuo as she spoke, and Tan Shuo hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, after all, this is not a big deal. Ah Si's mood is understandable, and Xiao Qin is also impulsive. This matter ends here. And don't make it up in front of Xiao Jin!"

Qin Haiou had been silent just now, frowning tightly. After hearing the two of them finished speaking, he suddenly stood up and walked out.

"Why are you going?" Tan Shuo hurriedly asked because he was afraid that he would still be impulsive.

Qin Haiou turned to look at him, his tone was very calm: "I'll go find Xiaojin."

Ah Si snorted: "What's the use of looking for it now?"

Qin Haiou ignored him.Zhuzhu came over and said, "You change your clothes before you go."

Qin Haiou looked down and realized that when Tan Shuo pulled him just now, the blood on his hands was all over him, so he nodded, turned and went upstairs.

Zhu Zhu heard Qin Haiou's footsteps walking away, and asked Tan Shuo worriedly: "Will Xiao Qin tell Xiao Jin about this?"

"No, don't worry." Tan Shuo said.

Ah Si was very disdainful: "So what if I tell you? No matter what I do, I dare to admit it. Will he dare to admit what he did?"

Zhuzhu said: "Why are you so brainless! I know you like Xiaojin, but no matter how much you like him, you can't do things like this! If Xiaoqin is interested in Xiaojin, he won't let Xiaojin be wronged, even if there is any misunderstanding, it will be his turn." It’s not up to you. But if he’s not interested in Xiao Jin, what if you really beat him up today? This will only embarrass Xiao Jin even more, why don’t you understand! "

"I just can't bear his indifference to Xiao Jin!" Ah Si said angrily.

Zhu Zhu laughed instead: "Heh, if he hangs around Xiao Jin all day, are you used to it?"

Ah Si sighed and stopped talking.

Tan Shuo said to Zhuzhu: "Okay, don't provoke him anymore. You can't blame Ah Si for this matter. If it were you, you might not be calmer than him."

Zhu Zhu was silent for a moment, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional: "Xiao Qin has such a violent temper, why can't he usually see it at all."

Tan Shuo smiled and moved up the ice pack on the bridge of his nose.Now his nose is still hurting, he really doesn't have the heart to tell Zhuzhu what he said to Liu Yang yesterday.

***

Qin Haiou returned to the room, took off his blood-stained clothes, washed his face, and sat by the bed to wait for his emotions to calm down.He can't remember the last time he hit someone, it should have happened before he was 5 years old, since he started learning the piano, he has never played hands with other children, let alone when he grew up.

If today's matter had been faced by him before he came to Longjin Town, he might not have rushed forward in a daze.The people and things in this small town seem to have changed him unconsciously, giving him the opportunity to let go of all the worries in the past and act only based on feelings, so whether it is joy or anger, he has experienced pure and complete emotional release .This long-lost feeling made him feel a little strange, but it was not bad. It was just that he had to reflect on himself every time he returned to his senses. It was the same with Tan Shuo last time, and it is the same today.

After he calmed down, he also thought about what Nalan Jin might have said to him at yesterday's party, but he didn't hear it.He found some clean clothes to change into, and when he went downstairs, he found that Ah Si had left and Tan Shuo's nosebleed had stopped, so he left the inn and walked slowly towards Nalanjin's tea shop.

The tea shop is still the same, a quiet corner hidden behind the shade.Qin Haiou came outside the store door and saw Nalan Jin sitting alone at the tea table reading through the glass, so he knocked lightly on the door twice, opened it and walked in.

The store was still lit with Ningshen incense, but Nalan Jin looked a little haggard. She didn't greet Qin Haiou with a smile as usual. She looked up at Qin Haiou, a bit at a loss, but she was more of a questioner. mean.

Qin Haiou walked in and didn't sit down. He noticed that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, so he opened his mouth first: "I missed my appointment yesterday, I'm sorry."

He did not confirm to Nalan Jin the content of the part of the conversation that he did not know.On the way here, he had already thought clearly that Nalan Jin had done nothing wrong, no matter what the reason was, he was the one who broke the appointment, and since this happened, he had to apologize.

Nalan Jin's lips moved slightly, still very puzzled in his heart, but he was more expectant, he hesitated for a moment, and asked: "Did you have something to do at the last moment, and you were delayed?"

Yesterday, she waited for a long time at Xiaonan Bridge until all the people who set up the water lanterns dispersed, and Qin Haiou did not show up either.But even so, she never thought of him as bad in her heart.At first she thought that maybe he was delayed by other things, but the longer she waited, she became worried and wondered if something serious had happened that was why he had been delayed for so long.Before leaving, she ran into Ah Si who came out of the bar. Ah Si guessed who she was waiting for, and her words were not very pleasant, but she still didn't think that Qin Haiou broke the appointment on purpose.Now that Qin Haiou came to apologize to her, she was looking forward to an explanation, as long as he said it himself, no matter what the reason for breaking the appointment was, she would immediately believe him.

Hearing her question, Qin Haiou's expression froze for a moment.He didn't want to tell Nalan Jin his mental state yesterday, but he didn't want to lie to her.He could see the expectation in her eyes, but he didn't have any explanation to give her.

"I'm sorry," he said.
