heartstrings

It's hard to argue, Ke Ruochu really convinced Bai Meng, it was nothing at all, but after Bai Meng said a few words, it seemed like something really happened.

Sheng Ruqi remained calm and indifferent as usual, she would not explain things a second time that she had explained once.

In fact, it wasn't Bai Meng's fault for thinking too much. Looking from behind, the two of them really looked like they were flirting with each other just now.

Relying on a woman's intuition, Bai Meng always felt that the relationship between the two in front of him was not simple.Especially after thinking of Ke Ruochu's unnatural "abnormal reaction" every time she mentioned her sister in front of Ke Ruochu...

Could it be that they really got together?

Bai Meng felt that this was unbelievable, but judging from various clues, it was not impossible.

"Since I don't have anything to do, I'll go out and put on makeup first." Bai Meng took a breath and deliberately dragged out her tone, "You guys are busy."

"Mengmeng..." The second half of Bai Meng's sentence successfully provoked Ke Ruochu again.

Bai Meng winked at Ke Ruochu, smiled and slipped away, leaving only Ke Ruochu and Sheng Ruqi in the changing room.

"She always likes to talk nonsense." Ke Ruochu explained to Sheng Ruqi immediately.

Compared to Bai Meng's unnutritious joke, Sheng Ruqi felt that Ke Ruochu's reaction was more interesting, anxious and ashamed, she was about to blush.

"I know," Sheng Ruqi looked at Ke Ruochu's face, and laughed softly on a whim, "She told me a few days ago that you wanted to chase me."

The fitting room was terribly quiet, so Ke Ruochu heard the soft "You want to chase me" very clearly.

This sentence was another "bombshell" to Ke Ruochu, she looked at Sheng Ruqi and frowned, "No, I didn't say it, Bai Meng is talking nonsense again."

Sheng Ruqi saw that Ke Ruochu denied it flatly, "What's wrong with me, you don't want to chase me so much?"

As soon as the other party said this, Ke Ruochu immediately replied, "No..."

Sheng Ruqi silently stared at the clean and beautiful face in front of her, then lowered her voice a little, "Then you want to chase me?"

The tone was full of temptation, coupled with the soft and charming smile, Ke Ruochu's heart beat faster for several beats, and he felt that he could not speak anymore.

Sheng Ruqi laughed so hard, could teasing people also become addicted?She doesn't know why, but she likes to tease Ke Ruochu for no reason, but it's better to stop joking, "Okay, don't tease you, let's go out and put on makeup."

"Yeah." Ke Ruochu has been taught strictly since she was a child, no matter what she does, she is always orderly and well-regulated, so she has always been resistant to such jokes, but Sheng Ruqi told her that she did not have that kind of resistance, especially When seeing the smile on the other person's face, he would even keep his face and take another look.

"...Your skin is so good, it's so white and translucent, how do you take care of it?" Ke Ruochu met a very talkative makeup artist, and he didn't stop talking since he sat down. Ke Ruochu just smiled and occasionally replied politely. , and only say a few words each time.

"You are so gentle and quiet." The makeup artist said while applying makeup skillfully, maybe seeing that the other party didn't pay much attention to him, he gradually stopped talking.

Ke Ruochu is slow, and always feels awkward when dealing with unfamiliar people, and she doesn't take the initiative to communicate too much. It is precisely because of this personality that she hardly has any friends, let alone those who are distracted. Just habitually buried in the bottom of my heart.

Bai Meng was also putting on makeup, just behind Ke Ruochu.

Ke Ruochu looked in the mirror, and happened to be able to see Sheng Ruqi sitting next to Bai Meng. She was holding a magazine in her hand, flipping through it leisurely with her head tilted, occasionally chatting with Bai Meng beside her with a smile...

"You want to chase me?" Ke Ruochu suddenly remembered this sentence again.

"Over there, the black dress looks so beautiful." The familiar makeup artist was quiet for a long time, but still couldn't help it, and chatted with Ke Ruochu again with a smile.

Ke Ruochu found that the makeup artist should be looking in the same direction as himself, "Yes."

"You look good too." After applying the base makeup, the makeup artist looked left and right at Ke Ruochu's face, as if she was quite satisfied with her skills, and she took another eye shadow, "Don't worry, I'll make it up tonight." It’s sure to amaze you.”

Ke Ruochu smiled quietly and didn't answer any more.

"Sister, you didn't come here tonight for me, did you?" Bai Meng was still brooding over the relationship between Sheng Ruqi and Ke Ruochu, she thought about it carefully, "Are you here to find Ruochu?"

"You didn't ask me to come?" Sheng Ruqi said without raising her head, "I just found out that she was performing with you."

Bai Meng softly "tsk", "Stop pretending, you must have contact with her in private, otherwise you asked me for her number that day? Sis, don't hide it from me."

"If you have it, you have it. If you don't, you don't have it. What's there to hide?" Sheng Ruqi raised her eyes and reminded Bai Meng, "From now on, stop talking nonsense."

"You... really don't?"

Sheng Ruqi turned sideways, rolled her eyes at Bai Meng, and said unhurriedly, "You are so good at writing, why don't you change your career to become a screenwriter? When the script comes out, can I invest in you?"

Bai Meng was speechless when she disagreed with each other. Could it be that she had overreacted?

The performance officially starts at eight o'clock.

But Ke Ruochu and Bai Meng participated in the performance later.

Sheng Ruqi sat in the row closest to the stage, and she looked good, but perhaps due to overwork this week, she gradually felt a little tired.

When the show was over halfway and Sheng Ruqi wanted to get up and go outside for a breather and smoke a cigarette, the lights on the stage were turned off as the host’s announcement ended, and it was pitch black. field.

When the lights came back on, everything was quiet and everything was ready.

After her eyes fell on the girl in the white dress in front of the piano, Sheng Ruqi sat down again.

Ke Ruochu, who always has light makeup or no makeup on weekdays, put on stage makeup. Although it is stage makeup, it is not a heavy beauty, but fresh and refined, especially when the black and white keys of the slender fingers are flipping up and down, under the background of the stage lights , almost exuding the quiet and elegant temperament to the extreme.

Sheng Ruqi's eyes didn't move away again, it was obviously a big ensemble, but her eyes lingered in front of the piano all the time, not only for auditory enjoyment, but also for visual enjoyment.Before I knew it, even the tiredness dissipated.

The makeup artist was right. In this scene, Ke Ruochu, who has always been low-key and restrained, really surprised many people.At least, Ms. Sheng in the audience was really amazed.

She played quietly, she watched quietly.

Ke Ruochu first came into contact with the piano when she was six years old. At that time, she had no interest in this big guy. She said that she didn't like playing the piano, but Yuan Luzhi still asked her to learn it.To be honest, she doesn't have much enthusiasm for the piano now, it's just that she has become used to it after so many years.

When a person says "dislike" less and less, he will gradually find that he will become less and less able to say "dislike", or when he says "dislike", it has already become worthless.Ke Ruochu is like this. Her life has been arranged by her mother since she was a child. On the surface, it goes smoothly. In fact, she knows that her condition is very bad, and she even wants to escape, but she doesn't know what to do.

At the end of the melody, there was applause from the audience, but Ke Ruochu didn't feel anything, it was just a cutscene.

After the performance ended smoothly, a group of people walked out of the art center.

"Sister, how was my performance at night? Did I amaze the audience?" Bai Meng asked Sheng Ruqi cheekily.

When Bai Meng asked, Sheng Ruqi realized that she had been watching Ke Ruochu the whole time, and didn't notice the others at all. She said perfunctorily, "It's not bad, there's progress."

"Let's have supper together in the evening, my treat."

Sheng Ruqi responded: "Of course you are going to treat me."

"Ke Ruochu!" Bai Meng yelled, then turned around and put his arms around Ke Ruochu's shoulders, "You go too, don't even think about slipping away."

"I'm not going, you guys have fun." Ke Ruochu pointed to a white car not far away, she saw Yuan Luzhi walking towards her, she whispered to Bai Meng, "My mother is here to pick me up No, she won't let me go."

Rather than going home, Ke Ruochu really wanted to stay outside for a while.

"Just tell auntie, what's the big deal. It's hard to have a holiday tomorrow, why are you going back so early? Besides, you don't want to stay at home?" Bai Meng's voice became smaller and smaller, because she saw Yuan Luzhi had come, she Squeezed out a smile, "Hello, Auntie."

"Mengmeng, you performed really well tonight."

"Auntie praised."

"You guys still have a party tonight. I won't be with you at Chuchu. I just have something to do at home. You have fun." Yuan Luzhi knew that this group of young people would definitely go crazy at night, so she helped Ke Ruochu find them first. Given the reason for the refusal, she was not very willing for Ke Ruochu to go out to participate in these activities. The people he met were a mixed bag, and he was easy to imitate.

Ke Ruochu hasn't said anything yet...

"Ah, it's okay, then Auntie...how about you go first?" Bai Meng, who was full of words just now, faltered in front of Yuan Luzhi. She had dealt with Yuan Luzhi several times and knew how strong Ke Ruochu's mother was. She didn't have the confidence to make sense.

Ke Ruochuhan, Bai Meng, a weed, immediately switched sides.

Ke Ruochu followed Yuan Luzhi and left first.

"Today, Mom's friends all praised you for playing the piano well, and said that a girl who can play the piano is a temperament. That's for sure. Mom wanted to learn piano at the beginning, but it's a pity that she didn't have the chance."

Ke Ruochu and Yuan Luzhi walked side by side, without saying a word, just listening silently, from the analysis of her mother's tone, her mother should be very satisfied with her performance tonight, and made a splash in front of her friends.

"I was ignorant when I was young, and I always said I didn't want to practice the piano. Fortunately, I forced you to learn it. Look how good it is now. You know how to thank mom? Listening to me can still hurt you."

good?What's wrong with Ke Ruochu not knowing?Or is it better for her to talk more when she compares her children with others?Ke Ruochu bit his lower lip, forcibly suppressing the dissatisfaction in his heart, and remained silent.

"Why didn't you contact Song Xiao?"

Ke Ruochu was no longer silent on this topic, "Didn't I tell you that I don't like him."

"Emotions can be cultivated. Don't think that you are resistant because I introduced you. It's normal to go on a blind date and get married now. It's good to know the basics. Mom is someone who has experienced it. Listen to what Mom says and give them a chance, you know? "

Ke Ruochu felt that she had explained clearly enough, and she thought that Yuan Luzhi would at least respect her emotionally.It didn't seem to be the case, she just felt panicked in her heart.

"Mom," Ke Ruochu stopped, stared at Yuan Luzhi, and repeated, "I don't like him, can you stop forcing me?"

When it comes to "forced", Ke Ruochu's tone is obviously much heavier.

"Why did I force you? You really want to piss me off. He is such an excellent boy, and he has no education, character, and family background. Why do you look down on him? What do you think he is not good enough for you?" Yuan Luzhi's tone was more serious, directly overpowering Ke Ruochu.

"You like him so much, why don't you stay with him..." Ke Ruochu blurted out, this was the first time in her life that she said such "rebellious" words in front of her mother, and the emotions she had endured for a long time finally broke out.

Yuan Luzhi's face immediately changed, she couldn't believe that her obedient and obedient daughter would say this to herself, "Ke Ruochu, what are you talking about?!"

On the other side, Sheng Ruqi quietly glanced at Ke Ruochu's direction for a long time, then she pushed Bai Meng's arm with her elbow.Bai Meng was discussing with others about where to drink and eat at night, she turned around and asked Sheng Ruqi, "What's wrong?"

Sheng Ruqi nodded in Ke Ruochu's direction, "Go and see her."

"Ah?" Bai Meng didn't react.

Sheng Ruqi said: "It seems that there is a quarrel."
