Shanghai morning

Soon it was the Western New Year, and Wang Yao received another invitation from Ferry, asking him to come to work on the last day of the old year.As soon as he entered the German's house, Wang Yao found that there were more people today.A silver-haired man took the most comfortable place in front of the fireplace, and a mighty and beautiful big dog lay at his feet.Smelling the stranger's breath, the big dog immediately pricked up its ears, and barked at Wang Yao.

"Mr. Gilbert Beschmidt!" Yun Jian hurriedly called to the dog's owner.

The silver-haired man called to his dog: "Hans, get down!" He glanced at Yun Jian dissatisfiedly: when both brothers are present, usually the elder brother should be addressed directly with the surname plus " "Sir", young people are called by their first name and surname plus "Sir", but Yun Jian chose to include Keel's name, but he called Luther directly Mr. face.

"Brother, why don't you leave Hans in the room? I said that there are guests coming today!" Luther expressed his displeasure at Kiel's behavior.

"I'm not going to lock up my friend, are you, Hans?" Keel picked up the big dog's heavy head and put it on his lap. Hans immediately put his front paws on his lap, and his tail Shake all the time.

"It's a good thing you didn't bring Fat Jiu." Luther felt his stomach hurt.

"That's because Fei Jiu can't stand long-distance travel," a beautiful and confident female voice intervened in the conversation between the two brothers, and it was Elizabeth in home clothes who came out, "It took me a long time to convince him to leave Fei Jiu behind." in Germany."

"Yes, I know." Luther rubbed his forehead, "Your decision at the time was wise, Elizabeth." When the couple first arrived in Shanghai, they quarreled countless times about the bird.

Gilbert Beschmidt and his fiancée Elizabeth Hedwigley have lived at the Luther house since Christmas and will continue to spend New Years there.The one who was most dissatisfied with this was Roderich. Although he would like to spend more time with his sister, Gilbert's existence really annoyed him.But he has no way to object, after all, this is Luther's home, and, in Gilbert's words: "You and that Italian idiot are the real redundant people, right?"

Seeing Gilbert and Elizabeth, Wang Yao was very embarrassed. At the Paramount ball, he was embroiled in the emotional dispute between the couple.But it seems that Gilbert doesn't know him anymore, and I hope Elizabeth will also forget him, the unlucky guy who was chosen by the beauty.

But the beautiful Elizabeth had already exclaimed in surprise: "Yo! It's you!" She went straight to Wang Yao, "Do you still remember that wonderful night? We had a great time!"

Wang Yao could only respond: "Hi, ma'am, I don't know what you are referring to..."

"Don't lie, big boy!" Elizabeth interrupted him. "Forget about that dance? We had a great time, if it wasn't interrupted by that fool Keel! And, call me Miss."

"Sorry, miss, I don't remember any pleasant things that happened that night." Wang Yao could hardly maintain his politeness, and replied to Elizabeth in an obviously cold tone.Wang Yao was not clever, but he was by no means stupid. He knew very well what role he had played between Gilbert and Elizabeth, the outstanding pair of men and women at the party that day.

Gilbert had put down his big dog Hans, and walked over with an unhappy face—although he didn't remember Wang Yao's appearance, he remembered the only time Elizabeth danced with a Chinese, which made him angry remember.

"So it's you, Chinese!" Gilbert squinted at Wang Yao with eyes as beautiful as fine red wine, "I've already forgotten about you, after all, you Chinese all look alike, but I don't Forget about being snatched away by you that day!"

Wang Yao is usually very careful in front of foreigners, but this does not mean that he can endure groundless accusations from foreigners forever. He retorted: "I have not even met you formally, let alone robbing your woman." But I have to admit, The reason why he wasn't worried about offending Gilbert at the moment was that Gilbert was not the master of this family, and his life had nothing to do with Gilbert.Even for Luther, Wang Yao only respects it. In his view, anyone in this family is just a by-product of the inevitable contact with Ferry, just like it is impossible to take a meatball from a pot without a Make some soup.Except for that one person, that handsome man who can play beautiful music.Thinking of Roderich, Wang Yao felt a little sad again, and he couldn't help laughing at himself for his unrealistic sentimentality.I didn't hear Roderich's piano today.

Gilbert was not sad, he folded his hands on his chest, and said condescendingly: "Then I will tell you now, my name is Gilbert Beschmidt, and this woman named Elizabeth Hedwiley is me. My fiancée, please stay away from her!"

"Hi, Mr. Gilbert Beschmidt, and you, Miss Hedwily." Wang Yao leaned forward, "My name is Wang Yao, and I am a short-term laborer hired by Mr. Vargas."

"Hello, Mr. Wang, may I call you Yao?" Elizabeth smiled kindly, completely different from the expression she had when facing Gilbert.

"If you want, it doesn't matter what you call it." Wang Yao also said with a smile.

Gilbert was very angry, his provocative words were blocked by the dialogue between Wang Yao and Elizabeth, which made him feel internally injured.At this time, Luther had already come over: "Brother, and Elizabeth, stop pestering Yao, he has an appointment with Ferry."

The big dog Hans also joined this small circle at some point, he no longer has any hostility towards Wang Yao, instead he tentatively used his head, which seemed huge for an average dog, to rub against Wang Yao's thigh.Wang Yao didn't notice that there was a big dog beside him. He felt his leg being touched. He subconsciously looked down and found that such a monster was looking at him with its tongue out. Immediately, he let out a low cry in fright: "Ah!" At the same time, he subconsciously reached out and grabbed someone's clothes.

"Hans, come here!" Gilbert ordered unhappily, "Strange, Hans is usually very cruel to people I hate."

"Hans doesn't hate Yao, which means you don't hate Yao either." Luther said comfortingly and supported Wang Yao's body. It was him that Wang Yao grabbed just now.

Wang Yao also noticed this, he hastily released his hand from Luther's shirt: "I'm sorry, I lost my composure."

"I thought only Hans was the most loyal to me," Gilbert muttered, "It was a woman first, and now even a dog is giving this Chinese man his favor!"

"Don't mind, you can have a blind date with Fei Jiu when you return to Germany!" Elizabeth sarcastically.

With the usual cautiousness of Germans, Luther thought that he should formally introduce Gilbert and Elizabeth to Wang Yao, but Wang Yao softly and tactfully dispelled his thoughts: "When will Ferry come back? He asked me out Here." Ferry originally asked Wang Yao to come to work today, but as soon as Wang Yao entered, Yunjian said embarrassingly that Mr. Vargas had gone out early in the morning and hadn't come back yet.

"It's rude to leave the guests here!" Luther sighed, "But don't worry, that guy Ferry will come back when he's hungry, you might as well rest here first."

Looking at Gilbert's very unfriendly expression, Wang Yao shook his head and said, "If Ferry doesn't have time, I'll come back another day."

The sound of the piano sounded at this moment, somewhat diluting the embarrassing atmosphere in the living room.Luther couldn't help rubbing his forehead: "Why do you always vent your anger on Chopin?"

Gilbert gloated a little: "Luther, he is calling you!"

Listening to the increasingly passionate sound of the piano, Elizabeth was a little worried: "Luther, why don't you persuade him?"

Every time Roderich lost his temper on the piano, it was always solved by Luther taking the initiative to go to the piano room to comfort him. If Luther didn't go to him, he would keep playing non-stop. This has become a tacit understanding between them. Both Gilbert and Elizabeth are well aware of this.

Gilbert stroked Hans' big head vigorously, and winked at his younger brother: "If I were you, I would definitely leave him alone and let him die on the keys! No matter what you say, this is a genius thing." Great deal!"

Luther really sat back in his seat, but the reason was different from what Gilbert said: Luther was well aware of Roderich's temper, and he had to choose the most appropriate time to appear, neither early nor late. Roderich had enough time to vent his dissatisfaction, and he couldn't really wait for him to be exhausted, otherwise it would only annoy Roderich even more.

Wang Yao, who was ignored by everyone, suddenly said: "Luther, I want to go to Ferry's studio and wait for him, is that okay?"

Luther immediately agreed, and ordered Yun Jian to take Wang Yao up.Yunjian immediately appeared beside Wang Yao like a shadow. He is a person without much sense of existence. Like any perfect servant, he can keep himself in a place where his master can call him at any time, and he will not let himself be disturbed because of himself. The presence of the host makes the owner feel uncomfortable.

Wang Yao raised his hand to stop Yun Jian: "No need, I know how to go." Yun Jian didn't insist, and nodded slightly, although his eyes stayed on Wang Yao, he didn't look closely at him.Wang Yao really couldn't figure out such a person who was very good at measuring things. Something suspicious happened in the teahouse that day, but now Wang Yao couldn't see any remaining traces from Yunjian's face.Who is Yun Jian?What happened to Ajing?

Wang Yao didn't want to think too much, he knew that it was better to ignore some things, if he didn't take a detour to troubles, he would be entangled in troubles.Wang Yao knows that this is a turbulent era where nothing is surprising, and he doesn't want to be the protagonist of this era.

Going upstairs alone, Wang Yao didn't go to Feili's studio, but walked to the door of the piano room following the sound of music.After hesitating at the door for a moment, he finally raised his hand and gently knocked on the door of music that had made him fantasize.
