Countess' lover

In 1900's brain, he never considered the situation where Fiona would suddenly wake up.When the girl's fingers held his wrist, he felt a moment of panic, but also inexplicable surprise and excitement.The excitement even overwhelmed the panic, giving him unprecedented courage.

Without uttering a sound, he raised his other hand to hold the girl, and gently drew a few simple symbols on her palm between his fingers.

"Do I know you? Or do you have something to ask me for help?" The girl said uncertainly, she didn't feel any malice in this strange man's sharpshooter, which greatly reduced her fear.

1900 still did not speak.His fingers trembled slightly because of excitement, and his heart beat so fast that it seemed to pop out of his chest.He raised his head and dropped a kiss on the girl's palm, devoutly, without any hint of profanity.At that moment, he suddenly felt the peace in his heart.No excitement, no temptation, just quiet joy and pure happiness.

He left the room in a hurry, the dim light in the corridor could only let Fiona see a light brown back.She didn't have any drowsiness anymore, and no one would be able to fall asleep.She got up from the bed and locked the door.Rubbing the palm of his hand, he couldn't tell what it felt like, but it must not be disgust.

If it doesn't feel wrong, the few characters that person wrote on her palm seem to be - "love"?A beat suddenly missed from the bottom of her heart, she shook her head twice, put aside all the thoughts that shouldn't exist, thought for a while, and walked out of the room.

It was an unsettled night, and the sound of thunder and raindrops could be faintly heard.The hull is also shaking more severely than usual, and if you don't pay attention, you will fall down like something and roll along with the hull.

a does not take this situation seriously.The lights in the corridor were dim and weak, and the long corridor led to the unknown darkness.The unknown is always scary, but Fiona is not among those who are afraid.She's flying, confident, and has nothing to fear.

The familiar sound of the piano came intermittently along the wind. This was not the first time she heard it, but today might be the last time she heard it.Without much hesitation, she moved slowly towards the place where the sound of the piano came from.

She came to the banquet hall.Due to the disembarkation tomorrow morning, there will be no activities tonight, and the guests on board need to have a good mental outlook to welcome the new environment.Even so, the hall was not completely dark, with a few flickering candles, clumsily cute.

Such a scene coincided with a picture in memory, which made Fiona feel extremely familiar.She stopped a few steps away from the piano, staring at the pianist in front of her who was immersed in the performance and didn't realize that anyone was approaching.

He was wearing a black tuxedo, and his brown hair was neatly brushed back.His fingers tapped on the black and white keys nimbly, sometimes soothingly, sometimes quickly, like the ever-changing ocean waves, and his body swayed slightly with the music.

A noticed that his back was very straight, which reminded her of those elegant and dignified gentlemen.She couldn't help feeling a little dazed, she no longer remembered the boy back then.But now the man's back clearly overlaps with the boy from back then.

She smiled lightly, and didn't expect the man to respond to her, but she just wanted to say something in her current mood. "I can always hear your piano, the frequency is as high as the waves beating the hull. Wake up, sleep, dream, don't you pay attention to rest? I can understand your love for the piano, but don't miss it Lots of other good things to do."

A said something on his own, and instead of waiting for 1900 to say something, he went straight to the table and opened a bottle of red wine.The dark red liquid in the goblet swayed slightly, looking dark and indifferent under the candlelight.She quietly looked at the shadow reflected on the wine glass, and said casually again, "Do you want a drink?"

She just asked casually, out of politeness, but she didn't expect 1900 to show such face this time.A few jumping notes abruptly ended this unknown melody. The man walked up to her and picked up the wine bottle steadily with his slender fingers. There is also a different kind of elegance and beauty in pouring wine.

"You don't like it?" The man said suddenly, his voice was low and sweet like the sound of a piano.

"what?"

A was inexplicable, and saw that 1900 pursed his lips a little sadly, and his tone of voice had not changed, but there was a sense of depression and gloom. "If you don't like it, I can play the piano a little farther away from you."

Well, now Fiona knew what he was talking about, obviously echoing what she had said the first time.It's just that this man seems to have missed the point, and even got her meaning upside down.

"Your piano sounds can make people feel happy, I like it very much. I am extremely happy to hear them." She raised her head and smiled brightly at 1900 to show that she really liked it.

1900's face was stiff, but his ears blushed quietly.He took a sip of the wine, sat down on the piano stool again, and stretched out his hand to Fiona.

What does he want to do? fiona doesn't know.But she still put her hand on the man's hand, and sat on the other side of the piano bench under his guidance.

In 1900, the iron ring that fixed the piano was kicked off, and the shaking hull directly affected the piano itself.She let out a soft breath, and then her eyes were attracted by 1900's fingers.

He starts to play.This is a piano piece a that is played with the wind and rain. It is still unnamed, and it is most likely improvised in 1900.

The bulky piano was not fixed, and began to slide with the shaking of the ship under the joint action of internal and external forces.Similarly, while playing 1900, the two people sitting on the piano bench also slid in the banquet hall.

This kind of experience has never been seen before, and it is refreshing and exciting. Fiona would exclaim when she almost hit the pillar several times, but it would turn into a happy cheer after she bypassed it safely.She found that the sound of the piano in 1900 seems to be related to the shaking of the ship and the movement of the piano.Even her voice has a strange connection.Such a connection is simply incredible, and Fiona can't help but look sideways at it.

He is a genius on the piano, the king in this field, there is no doubt.

Her attention gradually shifted to the sound of the piano, to 1900, so that she didn't notice when they got stuck on a pillar and stopped.

"Do you like it?" The man asked her, perhaps in a gentle tone that he himself didn't understand.

"It's great! I've never had such an interesting experience." The girl's bright smile gave 1900 great comfort, and instantly calmed his restless heart.

Your like is my biggest motivation, I am willing to play for you forever. 1900 silently suppressed these words in his heart, turned his head, and focused on his own fingers on the keys. "For me, the piano is like air." Indispensable.

His back was straight and his fingers were strong.The thin lips were pursed, stubborn and resolute.His eyes are focused, or the whole person shows complete concentration and love.But Fiona felt inexplicably sad, that kind of indescribable loneliness.

She must have been stimulated too much to have these inexplicable thoughts a try hard to stop watching 1900, and stop recalling the loneliness and indifference.Instead, ask him, "Have you been practicing here?"

The man nodded, so Fiona continued to ask him, her tone inevitably a little hurried. "Then did you see a man running past this place?"

This time 1900 was silent for a long time, and finally shook his head.No one else was seen, only him.

He kept looking at the keys, not daring to take his eyes off the girl.He was afraid that when he saw the girl's dark eyes, he couldn't help but say everything.

A felt disappointed, she didn't notice the abnormality of 1900.Thinking that it was getting late, she offered to leave, but 1900 suddenly stopped her.

"I'm now. Am I your friend?" Maybe it was the courage given by that sip of wine, maybe it was the unknowable act that opened up my heart tonight, maybe it was because we were about to part ways tomorrow.1900 talked a lot tonight, and he seemed to have some courage to face Fiona.

The girl who was about to leave chuckled, her bright black eyes were slightly bent, covering the star-like black eyes, as if half-covered by the crescent moon, separated by a layer of mist, but equally radiant.It turns out that some people are not only beautiful at certain times, she is a symbol of beauty all the time.

The man stared blankly, and then heard Fiona say, "It's been a long time ago. A long time ago, the little boy who watched me play the piano. Well, you probably forgot, but it left a deep impression on me."

He seemed to hear the sound of his heart beating, and a joy flowed from his heart to his limbs without warning, so comfortable.He wanted to tell her loudly, of course he remembered, remembered everything, and never forgot... But he was so embarrassed that he couldn't speak again, so he could only tell her with a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth that he was very happy .

Looking at the back of the girl leaving, the man smiled like a fool.He couldn't wait to use the performance to express his feelings, but considering the conversation with Fiona just now, he decided to forget it.He stood up, picked up the red wine that he didn't drink much, and walked towards Max's room. He needed to find someone to share his joy with.

They are friends now. Tomorrow morning, he must stand on the bow of the boat and watch Fiona leave. Maybe with luck, they can have a chat.And then what?Is it endless thoughts or something else?I'll talk about it later...
