cold flame

On a rare rest day, Lin Mo went out to play as planned after eating. The sound of video games all afternoon made him forget about his sister's boyfriend in the morning. He returned home contentedly in the evening light, and found the TV in the living room None.

Dad should be still at school at this time, but mother and Lin Ran are nowhere to be seen. Lin Mo heard the familiar piano melody and was curious. The sister who gave up music after practicing a few times should not be able to play this kind of music fluently.

Slow and low, like the deep sea level on the eve of a storm, gathering unknown undercurrents.Lin Mo couldn't help being surprised when he heard this style of music for the first time. He approached softly and saw the strange man in his room.

The tall and straight figure is sitting in front of the piano and playing, and the afterglow of summer has covered him with a layer of light gold. It is such a soft picture, but the expression of the other party is indifferent and empty. It is especially strange when paired with the heavy piano music at the moment.

Lin Mo listened so engrossed that he didn't even notice the other party's gaze when he finished the song a few seconds later.

"Momo, you're back." The man smiled at him, radiant and full of sunshine, completely different from him when he was playing just now.

Lin Mo asked, "Why are you in my room?"

"Oh, my name is Gao Wenxuan, and I'm your sister's boyfriend." He avoided Lin Mo's question and introduced himself.

"I don't like people touching my things." Lin Mo walked over and carefully closed the piano cover.

Gao Wenxuan made a gesture of spreading his hands with a smile, grabbed Lin Mo, and said in a child-friendly tone: "I brought you a gift." Then he took out a gift box from the desk behind him.

"open to take a look."

Lin Mo opened it, and it was a model decoration. A boy in a suit was sitting in front of a wooden piano. The workmanship was exquisite, but Lin Mo frowned unabashedly.

"Isn't this a gift for girls?" For this kind of music box, his understanding is still in the scope of the meaning seen in TV dramas.

"It's not an ordinary music box." Gao Wenxuan explained patiently, "Look, there is a small switch here, as long as you press it, it will enter the recording mode, you can record your favorite tunes, and then turn the base, the recorded tunes will be It will play automatically."

Lin Mo followed what he said, observed the gift in his hand, and turned the base.The piano music flowed out, which he had just heard.

"I just tried this, and the sound quality is not bad. Do you want me to record a song for you? Just restart the recording state, and the previous one will be automatically deleted."

Gao Wenxuan took the music box with great interest. At this moment, there was a sound from the living room, and Lin Mu and Lin Ran came back from outside.

"This is Momo's shoes...Momo! Where did you go to play this afternoon?" Mother Lin shouted towards the bedroom while changing her shoes, and finally said with a smile, "Did you see brother Wenxuan?"

Lin Ran said shyly, "Mom..."

"I see." Gao Wenxuan replied, got up and went out.

"What's the name of the piece you played?" Lin Mo asked when the other party was about to walk out.

Gao Wenxuan turned his head and smiled mysteriously, "I'll tell you next time."

It was only later that I found out that Gao Wenxuan still came after they had lunch that day, and prepared gifts for everyone for their first meeting.Lin's father was given a brand-name pen, which was hung in his coat pocket every day by the vice principal, and Lin's mother was given a silk scarf, which taught her not to put it down.

Of course, the parents also forgave the other party for being late for the appointment, and after spending a few hours with Gao Wenxuan, they unanimously approved of this boy, and naturally expressed their support for their daughter's love affair that they were particularly concerned about.

As for the gift Lin Mo received, he put it in the last drawer of his desk, and he never asked Gao Wenxuan the title of that piece of music, the other party had long forgotten it and never brought it up.

Of course, these are not important, because after searching for a long time on the Internet, he finally heard the complete melody, which is a relatively unpopular piano piece abroad, and it has a special name in transliteration - "Cold Flame".

A flame without temperature...?The young Lin Mo seemed to understand but not understand.

The place for dinner is near Yang Hao's house, Lin Mo doesn't care, anyway, it's very convenient to go to his house to sleep for a few days after dinner.Before going there, I made a special phone call with my family, saying that I would like to get together with my old classmates in the next few days, so I will stay at my brother-in-law's house for a few days.

Can't you play with your classmates if you live in your own home?Lin's mother was puzzled, but she felt relieved when she thought that she was at her brother-in-law's house, and agreed that the relationship between the two had finally begun to be harmonious.

"What's wrong with your face?" Yang Hao yelled when he saw Lin Mo, and after seeing Lin Mo, his friend lost his face in just one day.

"Yesterday I fell..."

Yang Hao blinked, stared at him and said, "When did you start thinking that I'm easy to deceive?"

"Before this second, I always thought you were easy to deceive."

Yang Hao rolled his eyes, waved his hand and began to order, and even reported several expensive and long dishes, "In order to live up to your evaluation of me, I decided to prove it with actions."

"What does that have to do with you being easy to cheat?"

Yang Hao looked at the menu without looking up, "Usually such expensive dishes with various names are unpalatable."

The waiter next to him twitched his eyes.

When the waiter ran to place an order with a menu that was obviously more than two people, Yang Hao silently poured two cups of tea, "Tell me, is it the woman from last night? You are so mean, we are all inside... ..."

"Forget it, I didn't suffer a loss." Lin Mo interrupted.

"I've changed my temper a lot this time." In the past, Lin Mo must have been more than just content to satisfy himself without suffering.

"I just came back, it's better to keep a low profile."

Yang Hao opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something else, but he changed his words and joked, "But having said that, you don't take advantage of the home delivery, aren't you still single? Although that woman is really not Your food."

"My dish? Then tell me what kind of dish is my dish." Lin Mo asked with interest.

"Fair skin, long legs, big breasts!" Yang Hao quickly said these three words without thinking.

Lin Mobai said the same, "That's yours."

Yang Hao chuckled, and then put on a serious face, "But according to my observation of being a first-line friend by your side for many years, the one that can attract you... must be the mysterious and unique type, which can't be seen through and touched. pity……"

"What a pity?"

Yang Hao sighed, "It's a pity that this kind of person either doesn't exist, or... you can't wait."

Lin Mo paused with the hand holding the teacup, brought the tea to his mouth, and smiled with a mockery of disapproval of what he just said.

"So for your happiness, I decided to personally rescue you!" Yang Hao continued to say to himself.

Although he had already guessed what the other party was thinking, Lin Mo still cooperated and said, "What do you mean?"

Yang Hao looked at his phone and couldn't hide his excitement and said, "It's coming soon."

Two girls came, one with curly hair and the other with straight hair. How could you not know the taste of this kid after being with Yang Hao for so long? Sure enough, as soon as the two sat down, Yang Hao put his arms around the curly-haired girl and said with a smile, " This is my girlfriend, Hu Qian, you can call him Mrs. Qian."

Hu Qian bumped her elbow into him, but she said with a sweet smile, "I think you are not flat."

"Haha, continue to introduce." Yang Hao consciously poured tea for the two girls who just arrived, and passed a cup to the girl sitting next to Lin Mo, "She is Hu Qian's best friend, Zhang Qiuxuan."

After finishing speaking, he pointed at Lin Mo, "He doesn't need my introduction, he treats guests today, you can eat whatever you want."

Hu Qian said: "This is the Lin Mo you often mentioned, he is really handsome." Then she winked at Zhang Qiuxuan and smiled meaningfully.

"Of course, although he is a little worse than me, at least he used to be a school grass."

It's not like Lin Mo has never experienced such an occasion. Usually, after eating a full meal with a cold face, his friends around him know it well, and they will never take the initiative to introduce his girlfriend to him without saying hello for the second time.But today this is Yang Hao who has the strongest relationship, so even though it was obvious that he and Hu Qian intended to match up, he didn't show much dislike.

Fortunately, Yang Hao was very good at adjusting the atmosphere, and the four people at the table were chatting and laughing. From the perspective of others, it was undoubtedly a gathering between two eye-catching young couples.

Seeing that the meal was finally coming to an end, Lin Mo put the cigarette and lighter in his pocket, "I'm going to the bathroom."

As soon as he left, a ring rang, "Ah, he forgot to bring his mobile phone." Looking at the mobile phone that kept vibrating and seemed not to stop for a short time, Zhang Qiuxuan leaned over and took a look.

"Gao Wenxuan is calling." The name sounded like a man, Zhang Qiuxuan thought it should be Yang Hao and the others' buddies.

"Oh, I know, it's his brother-in-law, please help me pick it up."

Zhang Qiuxuan felt that it was not good to answer other people's phone calls when they met for the first time, but Yang Hao was lowering his head and whispering to his girlfriend who was in love.

"Hello."

"Uh...I'm his...friend." Zhang Qiuxuan looked a little embarrassed, heard the cold tone on the other side of the phone, and said quickly: "Lin Mo went to the bathroom, and I'll ask him to call you back when he comes back, is that okay?"

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Qiuxuan exhaled, why did she answer the phone with itchy hands?

Here, Yang Hao also got tired of Hu Qian, and he couldn't help but think of Lin Mo, a loner.He wasn't worried that girls would not like his friend. After all, Lin Mo's outstanding appearance and temperament could still confuse people. The key is to see what this kid thinks.

Yang Hao said hello to them, got up with a glimmer of hope to find Lin Mo, and helped him get the mobile phone on the table by the way.
