The furnishings of the hotel are much the same. When you open your eyes, there is a chandelier hanging in the center, and when you turn around, there is a wall lamp on the wall by the window.The curtains were drawn tightly, and when Tao Ran woke up, he was accompanied by a headache that was so severe that his eyes turned black, and he couldn't think of what night and what night at all.

Last weekend, he just made do at the hotel. For a few minutes, Tao Ran experienced the panic of going back in time.In order to get rid of this extreme sense of confusion, he had no choice but to search around for his clothes to find the phone that was almost out of battery in his pocket, and only then did he confirm what date it was today.

The hangover blurred the face of the bed partner from last night, it hadn't been so ridiculous for a while, Tao then unconsciously began to rejoice, luckily he had his wallet and mobile phone, and the other party even magically packed his clothes for him.Although the suit was crumpled, it was still hanging up.

Very good, the snail girl is better than taking the sheep by hand.

The headache mixed with the beating heart is so bad I need ibuprofen.While Tao Ran was thinking this way, he hastily poured two handfuls of cold water on his face.He found the room card and glanced at it, and he was not surprised to find that the two breakfast coupons inside were intact.Before leaving without saying a word, people who knew how to tidy up other people's clothes, of course, would not be greedy for this hotel meal.

It seems that even if he drank a lot, his vision was not too outrageous.

This funny idea supported Tao Ran to check out, take a taxi, and return home in a daze, before falling headfirst on his own bed.But another cognition that followed made him feel that even ibuprofen might not be able to save today's headache.

In the end, the reason why it happened like this last night was because of meeting Zhou Zhe.The heart can be ruthless, both to oneself and others, but the body cannot deceive others.

After twelve hours, Tao Ran admired himself so much that he could really say "no" to his first love that he had never had before.The cinnabar mole on the heart, the white moonlight on the bedside, this is a complex that no one can escape.

Zhou Zhe wasn't a cinnabar mole, let alone Bai Yueguang. He was just a knife in Tao Ran's memory. He poked it in and never pulled it out.Over the years, it has grown together with the wound, not touching it is the greatest perseverance, and it is pure nonsense if it does not hurt.

After resting on the bed for a while, due to the headache, Tao Ran had to get up and eat breakfast and medicine together, then sank into the sofa and began to study a small note in the wallet.

It's rare that the phone is out of battery, and the taxi fare just now was paid in cash.It was only when he took the wallet that he realized that there was a piece of paper in the bank card that he had never seen before, and it was folded into a rather complicated square with nostalgia.It's been a long time since I've seen such a thing, so he didn't dismantle it indiscriminately.

Carefully opened the folded corner hidden in the middle, it was a cut-out hotel post-it note, with a sentence on it, "Take a business card from your wallet, nice to meet, hope to see you again".

Damn, the snail girl might as well take the sheep by the hand.If we really "see you by fate" in the future, I don't know how much trouble it will be.

Tao Ran held the paper in a daze for a long time, and the more he looked at it, the more irritable he became, and he silently put the blame on Zhou Zhe, the broom star.Counting from his freshman year to the present, for more than ten years, in every matter related to Zhou Zhe, Tao Ran was unlucky in the end.

When Wu Yueyin's call came in, Tao Ran was still immersed in the silence of one person, and after saying "Hello", he suddenly remembered that he had agreed to accompany her to choose a piano for the child this morning, and by the way introduced his mentor to her .

"Tao Ran, do you have a cold? The voice is a bit weird."

"No, boss, please wait for me a little longer, or let's meet half an hour later, I overslept, I guess I will be late."

The voice on the other end suddenly became a little more smiling: "You still call me the boss? I'm not your boss anymore."

Tao Ran also smiled: "Don't call me the boss, could it be Teacher Wu? Forget it, I'm used to it."

"Okay, up to you. I just called to ask you, do you want me to bring the baby with you today? Does he need to come and see the piano by himself? Does Mr. Zhong want to see him?"

What can one understand at the age of six or seven, and besides, when he thinks of children, his head gets dizzy: "No need, if you take him with you, then we can force Teacher Zhong to agree. Well, then I'll be late." It's an hour. You also have Mr. Zhong's contact information, if you arrive first, you should get to know him first."

Wu Yueyin pretended to be serious on purpose: "It's outrageous. I've never seen you late on weekdays, why did you change on Saturdays?"

Tao Ran didn't know how to coax her, so he immediately lowered his posture: "Sit down and have a cup of coffee first, and I'll pay the bill later. If the boss has time to treat her, I'll make lunch too."

Wu Yueyin really smiled and hung up the phone.

Hurrying all the way, it took a long time to find a place to park. Tao Ran is a person with a strong sense of time, and this tossing and turning made him anxious.

When he was busy reversing the car into the parking space, his phone vibrated suddenly. He thought it was Wu Yueyin, a quick-tempered person, calling for a reminder, so he connected without even looking at it: "Sorry, I'm almost there..."

The other side seemed to choke, and said slowly, "Tao Ran, it's me."

Zhou Zhe.

The old man who was standing aside waiting to collect the parking fee came over and knocked on the window of the car. Only then did Tao Ran realize that he stepped on the brake for no reason and didn't move for a long time.

"Wait for me, I'm parking."

Zhou Zhe's voice sounded unbelievably soft: "Okay, don't worry, take your time."

Tao Ran's heart sank unexpectedly, and the initial memories of sweetness and pain flooded in, overwhelming the sky.In the past, Zhou Zhe was always torn between loving and not daring to love. Tao Ran had received several similar calls in the early morning, and each time he had the same voice, always making Tao Ran feel that he had just cried.

The feeling of being out of control was beyond his ability to handle, so that he walked 50 meters with the phone before he found an appropriate attitude to continue talking.

"Okay, let's talk."

"I was the one who went too far yesterday, I'm sorry. I just want to ask you one more question, are we... still friends?"

silence.Melancholy, lingering, the silence that is lost in the two places.

Zhou Zhe maintained this thoughtless conversation with his shadowy breathing until Tao Ran answered him softly: "Yes."

"I will settle down here, can I continue to have contacts with you?"

"can."

"Well, don't bother you to meet your friends, goodbye."

"Goodbye."

Tao Ran stopped and looked at the blacked-out phone screen expressionlessly for a while, then dialed the phone and reported to Wu Yueyin that his car was parked far away and would arrive as soon as possible.

Teacher Zhong is almost sixty years old, and Tao Ran is the last amateur student he was enlightened in his early years. In the past few years, he heard that he is willing to be the first teacher again, and Tao Ran has returned to his original nature with emotion.The level of professional and amateur students is so different that it is better to say that enlightenment is a kind of charity to popularize music than teaching.

Wu Yueyin sat with his back to the door, Tao Ran walked into the cafe, first met Teacher Zhong's eyes, and bowed slightly habitually: "Hello, Teacher."

Wu Yueyin turned around and saw his respect, and he respected this handsome piano teacher even more in his heart, and couldn't help laughing: "Our manager Tao is so noble...Mr. Zhong, you have taught a good student."

"What's the matter, the qualifications are fair, and the heart is commendable."

Tao Ran could only sneer: "You also save me some face."

Mr. Zhong's gaze was still so sharp, and he passed over his fingers before showing a little smile: "That's right, I'm still playing the piano."

"Isn't it rare for a mediocre amateur student like me to still play the piano?"

"Okay, how can you boast like this. Although it is rare, I know a few of them. Among them, there are others who can play better than you."

Tao Ran gestured and cupped his hands: "The student is ashamed, so I have no choice but to recommend a child to apologize to the teacher."

Teacher Zhong told him not to be polite, and then asked him directly: "Tao Ran, you haven't told me, why do you insist on me taking this child from Ms. Wu's family? I don't have much patience." Confidence. If you want to try your child's ability first, I can also introduce my students to teach first."

"I've seen this kid, and he's really talented." Tao Ran said sternly, "He's not yet at the age of school. He has learned to whistle without a teacher, and he can sing the melodies of many pop songs by himself. To be able to calm down, I bought a small electronic piano at home, and I saw that he could sit alone and play with it for more than two hours, and he would not move when the meal was over."

Teacher Zhong listened silently, his expression relaxed a bit.

"I talked to my boss about learning the piano, and they are all willing to support it."

Wu Yueyin has been closely watching Teacher Zhong's reaction, and when he heard this, he quickly added fuel to the flames: "Teacher, please rest assured, I... my brother learned piano for several years when he was a child, and later because of some accidents, his finger was injured. I am concerned about this matter." I have always been very regretful. If I have the opportunity, I hope to train my son in this aspect. I listened to all kinds of classical music for him since he was a child. Fortunately, he is still a little spiritual. It happens that Tao Ran has this contact and is willing to introduce it for us. In the future, as long as he is Regarding the matter of learning the piano, I will definitely urge him to be obedient, and he will never give up halfway."

Teacher Zhong carefully looked at this well-educated and earnest mother, thought for a while, and finally opened his mouth: "I will accompany you to buy a piano in a while. Next Saturday at ten o'clock in the morning, bring the child to see me."

This is promised.

Wu Yueyin rewarded him a lot, he seemed genuinely happy, and never mentioned the budget for buying the piano or the tuition fee, obviously he planned to follow the teacher's instructions.

Teacher Zhong smiled and glanced at Tao Ran. Seeing his expression of "how could I be wrong as an introducer?", he shook his head helplessly.
