Treading snow to find mud

When Chen Yi returned to the piano room, he always felt lost, and because the window had not been opened for a whole week, there was still a smell of smoke in the room that could not dissipate. Suddenly, Chen Yi couldn't sit still, he ran up and down to All the windows upstairs and downstairs were opened, and then the incense was lit. After more than half an hour, the scent of lavender slowly overwhelmed the smell of smoke, but Chen Yi still lit two sticks in a row before giving up.

But he couldn't concentrate no matter what. He remembered Tang Yao's expression as calm as water when he said goodbye, and also remembered the reluctance in his heart. , but has been in a daze.

I stayed in a daze for a whole day. If it wasn't for feeling hungry, Chen Yi had no choice but to take out his mobile phone and order takeaway. Since it was the weekend, he was the only one in the huge two-story space.

It went on like this until Monday, Chen Yi knew that he had to pull himself together, he got up and wiped his face, went downstairs to have breakfast, and when he came back, the store manager on the first floor had already appeared.

The store manager’s surname is He. She is not the owner of the store. It is said that the owner has always traveled far away, but the rent and various expenses of the antique shop will be paid in on time every month. The job of the store manager cannot be simpler. Cleaning on time on Friday, paying bills on time, basically no customers came to the door, at least during the year Chen Yi was there, he only heard of less than [-] customers wandering in, not as many as his customers, as for spending money to buy There are even fewer antiques, but occasionally someone buys an antique, which can cover nearly two months' rent, but generally speaking, this antique shop is like a decoration, and it is connected to the second floor.

"You didn't seem to be here last week." Seeing Chen Yi coming in, the manager He said.

"Well, I went to a place for something." Basically, they usually don't interfere with each other, especially the store manager He never touches the things on the second floor. She just comes here for work, and when the eight hours are up, she gets off work. , and Chen Yi slept upstairs, so he would help take care of the first floor instead, just like Master Gu before.

"Your complexion is not very good."

"It's okay, I had a little cold before."

"Take care of your body and smoke less."

"En." Chen Yi nodded slightly, then said, "I'll go up first."

This is an ordinary conversation between them.

Then Chen Yi went upstairs and began to concentrate on repairing the piano.

However, a phone call disrupted Chen Yi's concentration.

The call came in the afternoon, and Chen Yi saw that it was Aunt Xu, and immediately picked it up.

"Chen Yi, Aunt Xu forgot one thing. There is a fish head in the refrigerator that I brought from the Tang residence when I came. I wanted to cook fish head tofu soup for the young master, but he said that you can't eat fishy fish when you have a fever. Yes, so I haven’t cooked it all the time, remember to cook it when you have time.”

"Oh, okay, let me tell Tang Yao, I have been back to the piano room for the past two days." Chen Yi said to Aunt Xu.

Unexpectedly, Aunt Xu on the other end of the phone was stunned and asked: "Have you returned to the piano room? Didn't you live at home? What about the young master?"

"Shen Qing seemed to go back on Saturday, so I left early." Chen Yi replied.

"How is it possible, Shen Qing just asked for leave." Aunt Xu said.

Chen Yi couldn't help being taken aback when he heard the words, his heart was suddenly in the air, and he asked in a daze, "But she called on Friday night and said she would be back on Saturday..."

"It's impossible. When Shen Qing contacted Steward Mo on Friday, he said he would stay for a few more weeks, so he postponed his vacation. I heard Steward Mo answer the phone and asked, but the reason Steward Mo agreed was because he knew With you."

Chen Yi suddenly felt something was wrong. If it was true what Aunt Xu said, why did Tang Yao lie to him?Is it to drive him away?Oh no, it was because he wanted to leave, so Tang Yao didn't stay... Wait a minute, doesn't that mean that Tang Yao is the only one at home these two days?

Thinking of this, Chen Yi suddenly felt flustered. He stood up abruptly, picked up the car keys and hurried downstairs.
