fingers of musicians

The boy in black touched the air, and a plum candy lay on his palm: "Go to practice the piano."

The green-clothed boy's eyes lit up slightly, and he stretched out his hand to take it, but the black-clothed boy turned his palm over, and the candy disappeared in a blink of an eye, just like when the candy came, and no one knew how he made the candy disappear.

"Let's talk after practice." The boy in black said with a smile.

The young man in green shirt withdrew his hand, turned the wheelchair and walked into the room by himself, his eyes were looking ahead, his chin was raised slightly, and he ignored people.He had been fooled by this trick countless times, but every time the other party handed over his hand, he would still fall for it.

"Yulou, are you bullying again?" A woman in a plain long skirt and sweater was standing at the door, holding two coats of the same style, one large and one small, in her hand, "Hurry up and push Yuean in, what are you doing standing there?" Woolen cloth."

The woman's tone is uniquely gentle, which fits perfectly with that oval face, small mountain eyebrows, and crescent-like eyes when she smiles.

"Mom, I haven't. If you don't believe me, you can ask Yue'an." He Yulou walked behind the wheelchair, pushed his wheelchair, deliberately put his head next to Wen Yue'an's cheek, blinked twice, and asked hypocritically, "Did I bully you?"

Wen Yuean glanced at He Yulou.

"No," he said.

The corners of He Yulou's mouth curled up bit by bit.

He Yulou likes to laugh.

Many years later, Wen Yue'an remembered that senior brother likes to laugh.

He Yulou picked the good-looking places of his father He Shenping and his mother Gu Jiapei together to grow them together, and the contours of the facial features were born just right, just like the handsome boy in the south of the Yangtze River in the painting, with red lips and white teeth, and a pair of peach blossom eyes.It's just that every time he laughs, he either seems to be teasing a little girl, or he seems to be trying to play tricks. He has neither the stability of his father nor the gentleness of his mother.

"What are you smirking at?" Gu Jiapei glared at He Yulou, put the small coat on Wen Yuean's body, and then handed the big coat to He Yulou, "Come in, I made mooncakes."

Mooncakes are precious things. In the past two years, during festivals, you could buy half a catty with a mooncake ticket, but now there are no places that sell mooncakes.

There are five people in the family, and there are exactly five mooncakes on the dining table. Each mooncake is engraved with different patterns or words, but they all taste the same: flour, eggs, and sugar are mixed together without any sink.

The He family is already well-to-do, He Shenping is the vice president of the Conservatory of Music, and Gu Jiapei is the head of the Piano Department. Only food stamps were issued in the front yard during the Mid-Autumn Festival, so they can make their own cakes for a few months.

"Would you like to eat in the yard?" Gu Jiapei turned her head while walking and said, "The whole family enjoys the moon together, but it's getting a bit cold."

"Listen to Teacher Gu." Wen Yuean said.

"Hurry up." In the room, a beautiful girl with slightly curly long hair tied behind her head was sitting at the table. Yulou laughed, and the five-point portrait of the two of them was only half-point left.

There are steps at the entrance, Wen Yuean can also turn the wheelchair there by himself, but it is a bit laborious and not so convenient, He Yulou always hugs him when he is around.He Yulou was carrying Wen Yuean into the room together with the wheelchair, the girl urged: "I'll just wait for you, always so slow."

When He Yulou heard this, he deliberately slowed down his steps. Not only did he ignore the girl, but he also deliberately pulled out his voice and said, "Oh, but today's feet hurt and I can't walk."

One of Wen Yuean's hands unconsciously grabbed He Yulou's arm backwards, and lightly pressed his fingertips an inch above the other's wrist.This is his habitual action.

"He Yulou, do you want to buy a wheelchair for you too?" The girl put the cup on the dining table with a "click", extremely rude.Of course, she is not a guest, not only is she not a guest, but the sound of putting the cups down is only made by a child who has been spoiled since childhood in her own home.

"Yuge." Gu Jiapei reprimanded softly, "You are already a high school student, why are you still talking like this?"

"I'm not going to eat." He Yuge stood up in a "babble", "The four of you can eat."

"Yu Pavilion, sit down." He Shenping, who was sitting at the same table, said, "Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"What's the Mid-Autumn Festival?" He Yuge didn't dare to leave, but he didn't sit down either. He just stood stiffly by the table, digging at the edge of the table with his fingers, as if trying to dig a hole out.

"Mid-Autumn Festival is the day of reunion. A family of four likes to talk nonsense." Gu Jiapei walked over and put his arm around He Yuge's shoulders, "Sit down quickly, and Yulou and Yue'an are coming quickly, the three siblings, why are you arguing. "

"An outsider, still reunites with us every year." He Yuge glanced at Wen Yue'an with the end of his eyes, hummed in a low voice, and then reluctantly sat down.

Wen Yuean didn't say anything, and sat quietly in the wheelchair.

It was like this when he came here years ago, not speaking and barely making any sound.

At that time, there was a fire, and there was only one disabled orphan left in the Wen family. Gu Jiapei read the news from the newspaper, and saw that "the orphan's mother is a piano teacher, and she often gives free lessons to students who can't pay the tuition fees. It's the students who don't have enough to eat to eat at their own home", immediately took Wen Yue'an home.

Wen Yue'an didn't speak for a long time after she came here. She didn't talk when she was hungry or hurt or felt uncomfortable. She was completely indifferent to other people's speech and behavior. Discover.

Gu Jiapei pushed him to bask in the sun, and he just sat there motionless. The sun was angled and shone directly on his eyes without any response, and he didn't ask anyone to change the direction for him.At that time, He Yulou was in elementary school, at the age of teasing cats and dogs. The less Wen Yuean reacted, the more he wanted to provoke. He thought it was more interesting than provoking the girls in the class. He told jokes and somersaulted, or just caught some Scary houses like bugs and sparrows.

Wen Yuean still didn't respond.

He Yulou struggled for several months, and even learned magic tricks. He started doing magic tricks after school. At night, he wished he could turn one moon into nine for Wen Yuean to see.

He Shenping and Gu Jiapei had been married for several years before they had their first child, so they indulged in every possible way. When He Yulou was born again, He Yuge was spoiled beyond words, so he became strict when raising He Yulou, and started learning piano at the age of three. Words, cold and summer, cannot be discarded in a day.

So often when He Yulou took out a plum candy from the air, Gu Jiapei caught him to practice the piano before he could get the candy away.

One day after dinner, Gu Jiapei and He Shenping were going to visit someone else's house, and they took He Yuge with them, leaving He Yulou to practice piano at home.

Before Gu Jiapei left, she said, "Yuean, Yue'an goes to bed early, and you go to do your homework after practicing the piano. Don't disturb him, do you hear me?"

He Yulou fully agreed, and after they left, he played the piano for several minutes. After making sure that his parents listened to the sound of the piano from a distance and left at ease, he jumped off the piano bench and rushed to Wen Yuean's room.

Before Gu Jiapei left, she took Wen Yuean to wash up. Wen Yuean sat under the quilt and looked out of the window.He often sits like this, motionless, and will fall asleep on the bed when his young body is extremely tired and unable to maintain a sitting position.

He Yulou climbed onto Wen Yuean's bed: "I'm here."

Wen Yuean was still looking out the window.

He Yulou walked to the window, stretched out his hand towards the moon, and grabbed it: "Look, I picked a candy from the moon."

Wen Yuean didn't respond.

"Just say something to me, and I'll give you this." He Yulou put the plum candy under Wen Yuean's nose.

no response.

"If you don't say it, I'll turn it back into the moon." He Yulou tempted.

no response.

He Yulou flipped his palm, pretending to be sorry and said: "Look, it's gone."

Wen Yuean looked out the window without even blinking.

He Yulou has done all the tricks he can, and he is not willing to admit defeat. He suddenly lost his temper, and without Gu Jiapei and He Shenping watching, he immediately hugged Wen Yuean, then climbed onto the piano stool, stepped on it Wen Yue placed it on top of the piano.

At that time, He Yulou was already able to play very difficult pieces. Although he didn't know what showing off skills was, he was eager to show off and attract attention, just like every little boy with some special skills.While flying his fingers, he raised his head to look at Wen Yue'an from time to time.

Wen Yuean was actually looking down at the keys of the piano, and instead of staring at a certain point stupidly, his eyes were following He Yulou's fingers.

He Yulou tried his best to exaggerate, dug out a "Selection of World Famous Piano Songs", and picked the most difficult ones to play.

Wen Yuean sat on the top of the piano, without blinking his eyes, wherever He Yulou's fingers went, his eyes followed.

He Yulou looked at Wen Yuean, and raised the corners of his mouth bit by bit.He played a series of ascending scales quickly, and then suddenly raised his right hand.

Wen Yuean's eyes quickly followed He Yulou's hand.

He Yulou moved his fingers, and Wen Yuean's eyes moved accordingly.

He Yulou slowly moved his fingers to his face.

Wen Yuean's gaze also moved slowly, and then, for the first time, fell on He Yulou's face.

He Yulou was laughing.

Yellowed sheet music, spotless keys.

Under the swaying lights, the younger boy sat on the top of the piano, and the older boy sat on the piano bench.

The younger one lowered his head, and the older one raised his head, looking at each other.

For many years to come, that day looked like nothing special.Until more than ten years later, when Wen Yuean recalled that day, he wrote down eight words: "From now on, we will be two people."

Suddenly, a key rang.

He Yulou turned his head, Wen Yuean was still looking down at He Yulou.

The door opened bit by bit, and Gu Jiapei and He Shenping were about to come in, and He Shenping was still hugging He Yuge who was already asleep.

"I'll put Yuge on the bed first." He Shenping said in a low voice.

Gu Jiapei nodded: "Okay, I'll go and see Yue'an."

As a result, when she raised her head, her expression changed several times in a row. In the end, she couldn't tell whether she was dumbfounded or out of anger. She didn't even care about He Yuge's sleep: "He Yulou, what are you doing?!"

"I'll play the piano for him." He Yulou blinked his eyes twice, and raised a big smile. He originally wanted to show his sincerity and innocence, but when he smiled, he looked like a brat who was quite proud of doing something bad.

Gu Jiapei walked to the piano in a few steps, carefully carried Wen Yuean down, checked carefully that she was not bumped, and then sent her back to the room.

When he came down from the upstairs, Gu Jiapei was already holding a long ruler in his hand. He Yulou sensed something was wrong and ran away immediately.After running around the yard a few times, he found no one was chasing him, and then sneaked back. As soon as he got to the door of his room, he found Gu Jiapei sitting in his room waiting.

With an idea, He Yulou simply slipped into Wen Yue'an's room and hid under the bed.

He knocked on the bed twice and whispered, "Don't let my mother see me."

There was no movement above for a long time.

Just as He Yulou was about to raise his hand to knock again, he suddenly heard a child's voice he had never heard before.

"understood."

The fear of being beaten immediately dissipated. He Yulou crawled out from under the bed, lay down beside the bed, and said in surprise, "You can talk? Say a few more words and listen."

Wen Yuean remained silent.

Footsteps were heard outside, and He Yulou hid under the bed again.

A ray of light came in from outside the door.

Gu Jiapei's voice was very soft, but her tone was a little anxious: "Where did Yulou go? It's so late."

He Shenping said in a low voice: "This area is all family members of the college, and Yulou is a boy, what can happen? You go to rest first, leave him alone, he is as smart as a ghost, and he will go back to his room to sleep as soon as you leave .”

The door was closed, and the room was dark and silent.

He Yulou knocked on the bed twice: "Hey, don't I play the piano very well?"

After a long time, the above said: "Yes."

After a while, He Yulou said again: "The floor is so hard, it's killing me."

Throw a pillow off the bed.

He Yulou stuffed the pillow under his head and slept under Wen Yuean's bed all night.

In the past few years when He Yulou got into trouble, he always hid under Wen Yuean's bed. Later, he grew into a dazzling young man, and he didn't have to hide anymore if he didn't cause trouble anymore.

It's just that sometimes she would go to sleep, like some kind of eccentricity that is not humane, no one knows except Wen Yue'an.

If Wen Yuean couldn't find anyone, she would probably see a boy who liked to wear black lying on the ground with a glance under her bed, with a pile of unfinished piano scores scattered around her.
