you are my tomorrow
Chapter 54
Comet walks into the elevator, presses the floor button, takes out the key from the right pocket, and when he gets out of the elevator, there is a man squatting in front of the opposite door, with his hands on his legs and his head on it. She seemed to have fallen asleep, and there were two suitcases beside her.
Comet froze for a moment, the sound of the elevator door opening seemed to wake up the person who was not sleeping soundly, he raised his head, looked around with a little slack in his eyes, and finally his eyes stopped on Comet, and his spirit was gradually regained.
"elder brother!"
"Loyalty? Why are you here? Didn't you come tomorrow?"
"I miss you, let me give you a surprise." Zhongyi stood up with a "flattering" smile, and wanted to help Comet carry things, but his legs were numb and he couldn't move a step, so he could only stand with his hands on the wall. With an unbearable expression on his face, he could only open the door and enter the house with Zhongyi supported.
"Where did you go just now?" Watching Comet put the things he just bought and the pickles made by Miho that Zhongyi brought into the refrigerator little by little, Zhongyi just sat beside him, holding a half-gnawed apple in his hand.
"Supermarket, haven't you seen so many things? If you hadn't come, I wouldn't have bought so many things." Comet put the last box of celery in the refrigerator.
"No, I mean before going to the supermarket."
"Eric's house."
"Who is Eric?"
"Oh, Zhao Rongzhen's family." Calling is used to the English name, Comet is not used to his original name.
Habit is indeed a terrible thing.
Zhongyi looked at Comet strangely, "What kind of face is that? To celebrate your joining, I will invite you out for dinner tonight." Ignoring Zhongyi's confusion, Comet pointed out the window.
"Okay, I haven't had dinner with my brother for a long time, I miss it so much." Putting aside the confusion for a while, Zhong Yi had a simple smile on his face, and it was the same smile that Xi Xing always cherished.
The two of them came to a small restaurant not far from home, and ordered their favorite food. While waiting, Zhongyi poured Comet a cup of barley tea.
"How is Auntie Miho? How is your health?" After not seeing Miho for several months, Comet really misses her a little.
Zhongyi sighed and shook his head, "The weather has been unpredictable recently, she caught a cold, and she was not fully recovered when I left."
"Then she's not alone at home now?"
"Uncle Song and Tony have also stayed in the United States for a while, but do you think they would take care of Aunt Miho if they were at home?" Zhongyi took a sip of tea, "Aunt Miho seems to be getting old a lot recently and has gray hair. She knew that it would take two years for you to leave, so she always said she missed you. When she knew that I joined, she didn't talk to me for a day. Later, she told me that when she was old and could no longer take care of us, she I will not stay in that big house anymore. Uncle Song has given her money all these years. She will move to the nursing home. If we have time, we will visit her. If we don’t have time, it’s okay not to go. There must be many old friends. When she said this, I felt very sad. She brought us when we were 5 or 6 years old. Until now, we don’t even have our own home. We are all hers. Isn't it cruel that we can't always be by her side when she gets old?" Zhongyi shook his head helplessly, looking at his water glass, his mood seemed to be at the bottom of the valley.
"I still remember that after we first knew what we were going to do in the future, I complained that she didn't tell us in advance. Now that I think about it, she was right. Maybe she didn't want us to live as heavy a life as we are now. Comet remembered that when he first knew that he was going to be a killer, he went back to his room with Zhongyi before even finishing dinner that night. Comet always felt sorry for that day.
"No matter what, we don't have a mother. Auntie Miho is our mother. No matter where she goes in the future, we should love her and take care of her, right?" Zhongyi raised his head, with something bright in his eyes. The wine and wine were already on the table, Zhongyi raised his glass to Comet, with a faint smile on his mouth, Comet also nodded with a wry smile, clinked glasses with Zhongyi, and the two drank it down in one gulp.
"Loyalty, welcome to join my mission, happy cooperation!"
"Happy cooperation!"
When Zhao Rongzhen returned home from the band, the lights were still on and the TV was on, but there seemed to be no one on the sofa. Zhao Rongzhen was a little strange. He was about to turn off the TV when he entered the house. But I saw Zhang Wei who fell asleep on the sofa, the remote control was still in his hand, but he didn't even have a piece of clothing on his body.
Zhao Rongzhen curled his lips, every time he saw this brother, he seemed to feel better. He squatted beside Zhang Wei, although he tried his best to slowly pull out the remote control in his hand, but Zhang Wei still woke up.
"Brother, I'm back..." Zhang Wei sat up sleepily, handed the remote control to Zhao Rongzhen, and rubbed his eyes.
Zhao Rongzhen turned off the TV, and threw the remote control into the sofa casually, "You still can't change the habit of lying down and watching TV. It's lucky that your eyes haven't been damaged all these years." Sitting next to Zhang Wei, looking at him dotingly, Zhang Wei Wei didn't seem to have fully woken up yet, "Is everything done at school?"
Zhang Wei nodded, "Do you know how I study? I have finished so many difficult courses ahead of time, and the professor thinks I am a superman. He doesn't even know that I still need to help you with the lion's work. ..." Thinking of the days after Zhao Rongzhen left Germany, Zhang Wei felt that he was not living, but in hell, where he had to take care of his studies and the arms business of the Lion Hall at the same time.
"Yes, yes, you are all because you want to come back to help me, you are the best to me!" Zhao Rongzhen put his arms around Zhang Wei's shoulders, and made a gesture to kiss Zhang Wei, but Zhang Wei dismissed him in advance. "Drool..." Zhang Wei stood up, "Are you hungry? Do you want supper?" As he spoke, he already wanted to walk to the kitchen.
"Jason, aren't you going to sleep? Let's sleep together." Zhao Rongzhen was still sitting there, talking to Zhang Wei's back.
"I'm not sleepy anymore, I accidentally fell asleep just now."
"You can do whatever you want, I'll take a shower first."
After Zhao Rongzhen took a shower, two bowls of hot noodle soup had already been placed on the table in the restaurant. The two sat opposite to each other. Zhao Rongzhen took a sip first, and then couldn't help giving a thumbs up, "Sure enough, it's our Jason, the craftsmanship hasn't changed at all. "Hearing Zhao Rongzhen's praise, Zhang Wei slightly curled the corners of his mouth, and then started to move.
"By the way, brother, are you sure that comet is a killer? Why don't I think it doesn't look like it? He exudes the aura of 'I am an artist' from head to toe." Zhang Wei suddenly thought of the comet that was sent to him during the day, and his heart was full. Confused, Zhao Rongzhen paused.
"Yeah, I thought so too."
"Then how do you think he is?"
"After he dropped you off today, he called me and told me that he had already dropped you off. Then I asked him why he didn't stay for a while. He said he wasn't used to being with strangers. He said it was true. He just arrived. When we were in the orchestra, it took him nearly a month to get acquainted with his colleagues, but when we first met, he didn’t seem to be unfamiliar with me at all. I asked him, “Then we were also strangers when we first met. ?', but he said, 'Aren't you a stranger?', but the strange thing is, he seemed to be concentrating on being my assistant all the time, without any unnecessary actions." Zhao Rongzhen recalled that during these days, Comet has been doing his best Help him work, even though Comet comes home, he doesn't know what Comet will do.
"Perhaps...you want to gain your trust first, so you will stand still first?"
"Trust... If he knows that from the beginning, until now, and in the future, I don't have any trust in him. I don't know what he will think." Zhao Rongzhen lowered his head thoughtfully, and continued to eat noodles.
But Zhang Wei is a little confused. In the past, apart from Zhang Wei himself, Zhao Rongzhen hardly considered other people's feelings when doing things, even Zhao Qian, this comet...is there any difference?
Yes, comets are different from ordinary people.
"Brother, I will always help you."
Zhao Rongzhen was taken aback for a moment, but he always knew that Zhang Wei would always be by his side to help him.
"You boy, why are you doing this all of a sudden? I have goosebumps all over my body." Zhao Rongzhen raised his head, and his shoulders still trembled, but the dimple on Zhang Wei's face never faded away.
Zhao Rong really liked Zhang Wei's dimples, as if all his warmth was hidden there. Since he was a child, this child loved to run around behind him. After he went abroad, I heard that he cried a lot and clamored to go abroad. He didn’t agree, and then he really followed his own pace, went to the United States, went to Germany by himself, he followed to Germany, supported the lion hall by himself, and despite his father’s objection, he wanted to help himself without hesitation. After returning to China, he worked hard in Germany to help him support his work there.
Not everyone can do this, only Zhang Wei can do it in this world.
Only this person can make Zhao Rongzhen fully trust.
Another week passed in a hurry, and the days before the Lunar New Year seemed to pass very quickly. After Zhang Wei returned to China, he went home first. His father still ignored him and did not leave him at home. Zhang Wei knew that Father hasn't forgiven himself yet, but he has already decided to help Zhao Rongzhen, and he didn't say much to his father. He originally wanted to finish the meal at home, but his father didn't seem to have that intention, so he left first with a sense of humor. Before leaving, Zhang Wei also asked the servants at home to tell his father that he was living with Zhao Rongzhen now and would come back to see him when he had time. After that, Zhang Wei went to "work" in the office rented by Zhao Rongzhen near Jongno.
And since this week, the orchestra has been rumored that a piano tuner is coming. It is said that this tuner was also a luthier before, but because of an injured hand, he can no longer play the piano.
Zhao Rongzhen didn't think it mattered, because his piano was tuned by himself, or Comet helped him tune it, but it was a bit strange, because the tuner in the group had always done a good job, but he resigned for no reason, so the group could only One more please.
Half a month before the Lunar New Year, I heard that the piano tuner went to work, but Zhao Rongzhen was always busy with the orchestra and the Lion Hall, so I didn’t have a chance to meet him, and I just felt that the addition of one might be related to my work Colleagues, you will always see what you should see.
"Why are you always depressed recently? It seems that you have no energy." On this day, Zhao Rongzhen finished his class at school and walked out of the school gate with Comet. The two of them were going to go to the orchestra together. Driving, let Zhao Rongzhen sit in the co-pilot's seat, Zhao Rongzhen changed without objecting.
Sitting in the co-pilot's seat, Zhao Rongzhen took the U-shaped pillow on the back seat to the back of his neck, and then leaned on the backrest, as if ready to fall asleep at any time. Comet started the car and drove towards the orchestra.
"I can't sleep well lately." Zhao Rongzhen closed his eyes and replied listlessly.
"Because of Zhang Wei?" Since sending Zhang Wei to Zhao Rongzhen's house, Comet met Zhang Wei once, or Zhang Wei came to the band, and he said that he still owed Comet a meal, Comet didn't care, just hit haha It just passed, after Zhang Wei came to look for Zhao Rongzhen that day, the two of them went out from the rehearsal room, Zhao Rongzhen came back in less than an hour, but Zhang Wei had already left first.
"Well, he snores in his sleep."
"Oh, is that so? Go to sleep for a while, I'll call you when we arrive." Comet seemed to understand, and he still wanted to speak in the usual tone.
Zhao Rongzhen tilted his head and fell asleep leaning on the U-shaped pillow.
Comet kept frowning, he began to feel uneasy, he didn't know what Zhao Rongzhen and Zhang Wei did at home, but he didn't believe it was because of Zhang Wei's "snoring".
In fact, for a while now, Lion Hall has to import a batch of arms from the United States. At night, Zhao Rongzhen and Zhang Wei are having meetings with Lion Hall people, or holding video conferences with people from the American branch. During the day, Zhao Rongzhen needs to be in the orchestra. Things can only be done at night, so Zhao Rongzhen and Zhang Wei can only sacrifice sleep time.
When he got to the band, Comet didn't wake up Zhao Rongzhen immediately, he looked at the sleeping Zhao Rongzhen with research eyes, as if he could see something from his sleeping face, as if the car had stopped, Zhao Rongzhen frowned , and slowly woke up from sleep, Comet also quickly withdrew his gaze.
"Here we are, let's get out of the car." Comet turned off the ignition, opened the car door and got out of the car. Zhao Rongzhen stretched his waist and got out of the car too.
The two put their clothes in the lounge, Hyesung went to the front to prepare for Zhao Rongzhen's practice, Zhao Rongzhen woke up and left the lounge.
Zhao Rongzhen came backstage, chatted with a violinist, and accidentally saw that the person who was tuning the piano on the stage seemed not to be a comet. Everyone knew that as long as Zhao Rongzhen came, other pianists would automatically give up their seats to him. The work will naturally fall on Comet. When Zhao Rongzhen is in a good mood, he will tune the piano by himself.
But today the comet does not know where it went.
Zhao Rongzhen walked onto the stage, only to see Comet below the stage, talking to the group leader.Zhao Rongzhen curiously walked up to the piano tuner who was sitting on the piano chair. The person who was focused on tuning didn't realize that Zhao Rong really existed at first, and was still listening carefully to the sound of each key, but Zhao Rongzhen seemed to have discovered something.
"Oh, Eric, are you here?" The group leader first discovered Zhao Rongzhen's existence, Comet also raised his head, and looked at Zhao Rongzhen on the stage with the group leader, and the tuner also raised his head and saw a pair of surprised eyes looking at him. look at yourself.
Zhao Rongzhen ignored the leader, but looked at Comet, "Comet, do you know each other?" Zhao Rongzhen believed that the person sitting in front of the piano was one of the people in the photo he saw on Comet's computer. .
Comet blankly looked at the people on the piano chair on the stage, shook his head, "I don't know each other, why should we know each other?" Zhao Rongzhen was even more confused, he must have remembered correctly.
"Mr. Zhao Rongzhen?" The tuner stood up, ignoring the conversation between Zhao Rongzhen and Comet, Zhao Rongzhen's attention was also drawn away, the tuner stretched out his right hand, "Hello, I am a new piano tuner Master Li Zhongyi, I have heard about you before, but I have never seen you, it is a great pleasure to meet you today."
Zhao Rongzhen looked down at the hand of friendship stretched out to him, and then at Comet with a dazed face, and couldn't help frowning.
While practicing with his colleagues, Zhao Rongzhen observed Comet and the person who claimed to be Li Zhongyi in the audience. Comet watched his practice while continuing to discuss with the group leader, and Li Zhongyi was sitting in the second place in the auditorium. row, playing with the mobile phone silently, and looking at the stage from time to time, the two of them haven't talked much, as if they really don't know each other.
After a break at 4:[-], Zhao Rongzhen squatted on the edge of the stage habitually, Comet handed him a bottle of water, waited for him to finish drinking, then took the water bottle, Zhao Rongzhen looked up at the auditorium, Li Zhongyi was no longer there, Comet also looked back habitually, but didn't see anyone, "You've always been restless, didn't you suffer from hysteria because you didn't sleep well these days?" Of course Comet found that Zhao Rongzhen was "abnormal".
"You really don't know each other?" Zhao Rongzhen asked again, Comet looked blank at first, and then "understood" who Zhao Rongzhen was referring to.
"Am I the kind of person who pretends not to know someone if I know someone? Would you like to go to my house to have a good sleep today?" Comet looked helpless, and had to propose, Zhao Rongzhen curled his lips and shook his head.
"What were you and the leader talking about just now?" Zhao Rongzhen remembered what Comet and the leader had been discussing just now, and he knew it had something to do with him.
"The head of the group said that you haven't held your own concert since you came back. Many people in the industry and many people who learn piano want to hear your exclusive recital, so the head of the group told me that they want to hold two concerts for you in March. A solo concert."
Zhao Rongzhen nodded indifferently. The solo recital is not a difficult matter, "I don't care. It's fine for the group leader to discuss with you. I'm only in charge of playing the piano and selecting songs, right?"
Comet looked at the people on the stage dissatisfied, "Were you so casual when you gave a solo concert in Europe before? Don't you care about it yourself?" In fact, if he hadn't become a killer, how much Comet would have held a concert His own recital, but now he doesn't even have the chance to sit on the stage and play with others. He is a little jealous that Zhao Rongzhen has such a good opportunity, but he doesn't seem to cherish it very much.
Is it because there is a way out for the Tiger Gang?If you don't want to be a pianist, can you go back and be a prince?
Faced with Comet's pointing, Zhao Rongzhen chuckled, "Do you know the reason why I was admitted to the piano doctorate?" Comet didn't know what Zhao Rongzhen was going to say, and shook his head, "The main reason is—— Concentrate, just concentrate on playing my piano well. Even if other things are related to me, someone will help me to do it. My task is to play the piano well and let more people listen to it. This is responsible for myself and for me. The audience is responsible, do you understand?" Zhao Rongzhen stretched out the index finger of his right hand, and gently tapped the center of Comet's eyebrows, Comet closed his eyes reflexively, but Zhao Rongzhen's words seemed to make sense.
"However, how do you know that I have other friends?" Comet felt something was wrong, so he asked cautiously, Zhao Rongzhen's eyes flickered with panic.
"only……
Zhao Rongzhen seemed to want to say something, but his cell phone rang. He stood up and took out the cell phone from his trouser pocket, "Hello?... Oh, Dad." Zhao Rongzhen raised his eyebrows, he rarely called himself, no Know what to expect if you call at this hour.
While Zhao Rongzhen was listening to the phone, he looked at Comet and pointed to the backstage, motioning for him to go to the backstage to answer the phone first. Comet nodded and watched Zhao Rongzhen gradually walk away until he could no longer see him, but Comet's eyes became sharper.
dad?Zhao Qian?Will something happen?
"...Well, Lion Hall is going to import a batch of goods from the United States recently, and Zhang Wei and I have been following up." Zhao Rongzhen hid behind the curtain, not knowing where Zhao Qian got the news from, and he hardly asked. Regarding the lion hall, Zhao Rongzhen felt that Zhao Qian didn't really want to ask about the lion hall's arms business.
"You and Zhang Wei, be careful, I'm at ease for you two, I actually want to ask you another matter." Sure enough, as Zhao Rongzhen expected, "Do you...do you want to do the drug business? I can let Ying I will share some with you." Zhao Rongzhen was taken aback, he actually hated drugs, when he was in the United States, he had seen many people who were obsessed with drugs, and even their families were ruined, and he himself ended up on a dead end, so even if he obeyed his father to enter Tiger gang, he is also unwilling to do drug business, Zhao Qian wants to do it, it is also his business, he is only interested in arms.
"Father, I haven't thought about it, and I've never thought about the drug business. I think...well, I don't want to do it anyway, I just want to do arms." Zhao Rongzhen told Zhao Qian his thoughts bluntly, Zhao Qian also understood what his son meant, and he didn't want to force Zhao Rongzhen to do something, so he just chatted a few more words, and the two hung up the phone.
Zhao Rongzhen breathed a sigh of relief, put the phone back in his trouser pocket, turned around and was about to go back to the stage, when Comet suddenly appeared behind him, startling him, "Why are you panicking? Didn't you call Dad?" Comet looked calm , as if he had just arrived, Zhao Rongzhen didn't know how much Comet had heard.
"Didn't I say to answer the phone?" Zhao Rongzhen's expression was not very good, as if he was angry.
"I'm just here too, the rehearsal has already started outside, I'll call you."
"Won't you practice first? Will the earth stop spinning without me?"
"I want to practice the piano concerto, how can I practice without a piano?" Comet looked at Zhao Rongzhen innocently, as if he was wronged, Zhao Rongzhen was speechless.
"...I hope you don't follow me when I'm talking on a personal phone call. We're only in a working relationship."
Comet sneered, "Yeah, we're just working, who wants to listen." Comet couldn't hear Zhao Rongzhen talking to him like this, as if he shouldn't be like this in nature, "it's just a working relationship" made Comet feel uncomfortable. As soon as he sank, he didn't want to see Zhao Rongzhen's ugly face anymore, so he lifted the curtain and wanted to go out.
"Hey, where are you going?" Zhao Rongzhen was taken aback, and he called Comet to stop.
"We are just a working relationship. I have nothing to explain to you except work matters." Comet turned his head and glanced at Zhao Rongzhen in astonishment, and left.
Later in the rehearsal, Li Zhongyi wasn't there, probably after get off work, only Comet was sitting in the audience thinking, Zhao Rongzhen thought of Comet's question before answering the phone - how do you know I have other friends?I am a little annoyed that I asked a question that I shouldn't have asked. Didn't I just pretend to be self-reporting and I have seen the comet computer?But he had only seen that photo.
In fact, Comet is also thinking about the same question, why does Zhao Rongzhen feel that he knows Zhongyi?He is just a newcomer to the band. The two of them had agreed to pretend that they didn't know each other when they were in the band, so that one person would stay in the band in case someone exposed the target.
The two had no contact, so how did Zhao Rongzhen know that the two should know each other?
Could it be... what does Zhao Rong really know?
Comet in the auditorium with only gloomy light raised his eyes to look at Zhao Rongzhen who was "indulging" in the piano, a dark light flashed in his eyes.
After 8 o'clock in the evening, the rehearsal was finally over. Comet first, Zhao Rongzhen went back to the lounge, put on his coat, took his schoolbag and went out. Just as Zhao Rong was about to lock the door, Zhao Rong really recovered, and Comet didn't have to lock the door. Zhao Rongzhen left with a glance behind him.
"Hey! Don't you want to go together?" Zhao Rongzhen called Comet who was a few steps away, Comet didn't look back, and left straight away, "Cut, cheapskate." Zhao Rongzhen went into the room, took his things and left after a low voice up.When driving past the station in front of the orchestra, Zhao Rongzhen saw Comet standing on the platform. Because of the cold weather, Comet kept stomping on the spot, with his hands on his lips, and kept breathing, exhaling. His face was blurred by the white gas, and then became clear again as the breath dissipated. Although he was a "graduate student", his attire looked like a student who had just entered university.
Zhao Rongzhen often thinks that it would be great if this person is really a student, maybe he can teach him more about piano.
Lost for a moment, Zhao Rongzhen parked the car next to Comet, Comet was taken aback, and recognized Zhao Rongzhen's car, "Why don't you come up?" Zhao Rongzhen rolled down the window, and returned to his usual smiling appearance.
"We are just a working relationship, how dare I take your car?" Comet couldn't hide the teasing in his tone, Zhao Rongzhen felt a little funny, at this time, a bus came in behind, it happened to be Comet's car to go home, The driver honked the horn to ask Zhao Rongzhen to give way, "Let's go, you've taken up space." Comet seemed determined not to take Zhao Rongzhen's car, and walked to the bus behind, seeing that Zhao Rongzhen didn't seem to have the intention of driving away, he just He opened the car door, and after all the people who got out of the car got off, Comet also got on the car with the team.
Zhao Rongzhen shook his head helplessly, started the car and drove towards Shitang's office, but he didn't pay attention, after he started the car, a black car parked on the side of the road also started slowly, not far away followed him closely.
On the way to the company, Zhao Rongzhen called Zhang Wei. Zhang Wei was still at the company and was about to leave work. Zhao Rongzhen asked him to wait at the company and he went to pick him up.
When he arrived at the company, Zhao Rongzhen called Zhang Wei and asked him to come down. When he was waiting under the building, the black car stopped about 50 meters away from Zhao Rongzhen. The brightly lit building seemed to be waiting for something. After a while, Zhang Wei went downstairs, walked out of the gate and got into Zhao Rongzhen's car. After Zhao Rongzhen's car drove away, the black car did not leave. The driver took out his mobile phone and dialed Got a number.
"Hello? Brother Comet, I'm downstairs in the Miracle Building, which should be the 10th floor. Just now, only the lights on the 10th floor were turned off... Well, I got it. Are you home yet?...Okay, I'll go back now, let's talk about it later. "
The driver started the car and drove slowly into the night...
Comet froze for a moment, the sound of the elevator door opening seemed to wake up the person who was not sleeping soundly, he raised his head, looked around with a little slack in his eyes, and finally his eyes stopped on Comet, and his spirit was gradually regained.
"elder brother!"
"Loyalty? Why are you here? Didn't you come tomorrow?"
"I miss you, let me give you a surprise." Zhongyi stood up with a "flattering" smile, and wanted to help Comet carry things, but his legs were numb and he couldn't move a step, so he could only stand with his hands on the wall. With an unbearable expression on his face, he could only open the door and enter the house with Zhongyi supported.
"Where did you go just now?" Watching Comet put the things he just bought and the pickles made by Miho that Zhongyi brought into the refrigerator little by little, Zhongyi just sat beside him, holding a half-gnawed apple in his hand.
"Supermarket, haven't you seen so many things? If you hadn't come, I wouldn't have bought so many things." Comet put the last box of celery in the refrigerator.
"No, I mean before going to the supermarket."
"Eric's house."
"Who is Eric?"
"Oh, Zhao Rongzhen's family." Calling is used to the English name, Comet is not used to his original name.
Habit is indeed a terrible thing.
Zhongyi looked at Comet strangely, "What kind of face is that? To celebrate your joining, I will invite you out for dinner tonight." Ignoring Zhongyi's confusion, Comet pointed out the window.
"Okay, I haven't had dinner with my brother for a long time, I miss it so much." Putting aside the confusion for a while, Zhong Yi had a simple smile on his face, and it was the same smile that Xi Xing always cherished.
The two of them came to a small restaurant not far from home, and ordered their favorite food. While waiting, Zhongyi poured Comet a cup of barley tea.
"How is Auntie Miho? How is your health?" After not seeing Miho for several months, Comet really misses her a little.
Zhongyi sighed and shook his head, "The weather has been unpredictable recently, she caught a cold, and she was not fully recovered when I left."
"Then she's not alone at home now?"
"Uncle Song and Tony have also stayed in the United States for a while, but do you think they would take care of Aunt Miho if they were at home?" Zhongyi took a sip of tea, "Aunt Miho seems to be getting old a lot recently and has gray hair. She knew that it would take two years for you to leave, so she always said she missed you. When she knew that I joined, she didn't talk to me for a day. Later, she told me that when she was old and could no longer take care of us, she I will not stay in that big house anymore. Uncle Song has given her money all these years. She will move to the nursing home. If we have time, we will visit her. If we don’t have time, it’s okay not to go. There must be many old friends. When she said this, I felt very sad. She brought us when we were 5 or 6 years old. Until now, we don’t even have our own home. We are all hers. Isn't it cruel that we can't always be by her side when she gets old?" Zhongyi shook his head helplessly, looking at his water glass, his mood seemed to be at the bottom of the valley.
"I still remember that after we first knew what we were going to do in the future, I complained that she didn't tell us in advance. Now that I think about it, she was right. Maybe she didn't want us to live as heavy a life as we are now. Comet remembered that when he first knew that he was going to be a killer, he went back to his room with Zhongyi before even finishing dinner that night. Comet always felt sorry for that day.
"No matter what, we don't have a mother. Auntie Miho is our mother. No matter where she goes in the future, we should love her and take care of her, right?" Zhongyi raised his head, with something bright in his eyes. The wine and wine were already on the table, Zhongyi raised his glass to Comet, with a faint smile on his mouth, Comet also nodded with a wry smile, clinked glasses with Zhongyi, and the two drank it down in one gulp.
"Loyalty, welcome to join my mission, happy cooperation!"
"Happy cooperation!"
When Zhao Rongzhen returned home from the band, the lights were still on and the TV was on, but there seemed to be no one on the sofa. Zhao Rongzhen was a little strange. He was about to turn off the TV when he entered the house. But I saw Zhang Wei who fell asleep on the sofa, the remote control was still in his hand, but he didn't even have a piece of clothing on his body.
Zhao Rongzhen curled his lips, every time he saw this brother, he seemed to feel better. He squatted beside Zhang Wei, although he tried his best to slowly pull out the remote control in his hand, but Zhang Wei still woke up.
"Brother, I'm back..." Zhang Wei sat up sleepily, handed the remote control to Zhao Rongzhen, and rubbed his eyes.
Zhao Rongzhen turned off the TV, and threw the remote control into the sofa casually, "You still can't change the habit of lying down and watching TV. It's lucky that your eyes haven't been damaged all these years." Sitting next to Zhang Wei, looking at him dotingly, Zhang Wei Wei didn't seem to have fully woken up yet, "Is everything done at school?"
Zhang Wei nodded, "Do you know how I study? I have finished so many difficult courses ahead of time, and the professor thinks I am a superman. He doesn't even know that I still need to help you with the lion's work. ..." Thinking of the days after Zhao Rongzhen left Germany, Zhang Wei felt that he was not living, but in hell, where he had to take care of his studies and the arms business of the Lion Hall at the same time.
"Yes, yes, you are all because you want to come back to help me, you are the best to me!" Zhao Rongzhen put his arms around Zhang Wei's shoulders, and made a gesture to kiss Zhang Wei, but Zhang Wei dismissed him in advance. "Drool..." Zhang Wei stood up, "Are you hungry? Do you want supper?" As he spoke, he already wanted to walk to the kitchen.
"Jason, aren't you going to sleep? Let's sleep together." Zhao Rongzhen was still sitting there, talking to Zhang Wei's back.
"I'm not sleepy anymore, I accidentally fell asleep just now."
"You can do whatever you want, I'll take a shower first."
After Zhao Rongzhen took a shower, two bowls of hot noodle soup had already been placed on the table in the restaurant. The two sat opposite to each other. Zhao Rongzhen took a sip first, and then couldn't help giving a thumbs up, "Sure enough, it's our Jason, the craftsmanship hasn't changed at all. "Hearing Zhao Rongzhen's praise, Zhang Wei slightly curled the corners of his mouth, and then started to move.
"By the way, brother, are you sure that comet is a killer? Why don't I think it doesn't look like it? He exudes the aura of 'I am an artist' from head to toe." Zhang Wei suddenly thought of the comet that was sent to him during the day, and his heart was full. Confused, Zhao Rongzhen paused.
"Yeah, I thought so too."
"Then how do you think he is?"
"After he dropped you off today, he called me and told me that he had already dropped you off. Then I asked him why he didn't stay for a while. He said he wasn't used to being with strangers. He said it was true. He just arrived. When we were in the orchestra, it took him nearly a month to get acquainted with his colleagues, but when we first met, he didn’t seem to be unfamiliar with me at all. I asked him, “Then we were also strangers when we first met. ?', but he said, 'Aren't you a stranger?', but the strange thing is, he seemed to be concentrating on being my assistant all the time, without any unnecessary actions." Zhao Rongzhen recalled that during these days, Comet has been doing his best Help him work, even though Comet comes home, he doesn't know what Comet will do.
"Perhaps...you want to gain your trust first, so you will stand still first?"
"Trust... If he knows that from the beginning, until now, and in the future, I don't have any trust in him. I don't know what he will think." Zhao Rongzhen lowered his head thoughtfully, and continued to eat noodles.
But Zhang Wei is a little confused. In the past, apart from Zhang Wei himself, Zhao Rongzhen hardly considered other people's feelings when doing things, even Zhao Qian, this comet...is there any difference?
Yes, comets are different from ordinary people.
"Brother, I will always help you."
Zhao Rongzhen was taken aback for a moment, but he always knew that Zhang Wei would always be by his side to help him.
"You boy, why are you doing this all of a sudden? I have goosebumps all over my body." Zhao Rongzhen raised his head, and his shoulders still trembled, but the dimple on Zhang Wei's face never faded away.
Zhao Rong really liked Zhang Wei's dimples, as if all his warmth was hidden there. Since he was a child, this child loved to run around behind him. After he went abroad, I heard that he cried a lot and clamored to go abroad. He didn’t agree, and then he really followed his own pace, went to the United States, went to Germany by himself, he followed to Germany, supported the lion hall by himself, and despite his father’s objection, he wanted to help himself without hesitation. After returning to China, he worked hard in Germany to help him support his work there.
Not everyone can do this, only Zhang Wei can do it in this world.
Only this person can make Zhao Rongzhen fully trust.
Another week passed in a hurry, and the days before the Lunar New Year seemed to pass very quickly. After Zhang Wei returned to China, he went home first. His father still ignored him and did not leave him at home. Zhang Wei knew that Father hasn't forgiven himself yet, but he has already decided to help Zhao Rongzhen, and he didn't say much to his father. He originally wanted to finish the meal at home, but his father didn't seem to have that intention, so he left first with a sense of humor. Before leaving, Zhang Wei also asked the servants at home to tell his father that he was living with Zhao Rongzhen now and would come back to see him when he had time. After that, Zhang Wei went to "work" in the office rented by Zhao Rongzhen near Jongno.
And since this week, the orchestra has been rumored that a piano tuner is coming. It is said that this tuner was also a luthier before, but because of an injured hand, he can no longer play the piano.
Zhao Rongzhen didn't think it mattered, because his piano was tuned by himself, or Comet helped him tune it, but it was a bit strange, because the tuner in the group had always done a good job, but he resigned for no reason, so the group could only One more please.
Half a month before the Lunar New Year, I heard that the piano tuner went to work, but Zhao Rongzhen was always busy with the orchestra and the Lion Hall, so I didn’t have a chance to meet him, and I just felt that the addition of one might be related to my work Colleagues, you will always see what you should see.
"Why are you always depressed recently? It seems that you have no energy." On this day, Zhao Rongzhen finished his class at school and walked out of the school gate with Comet. The two of them were going to go to the orchestra together. Driving, let Zhao Rongzhen sit in the co-pilot's seat, Zhao Rongzhen changed without objecting.
Sitting in the co-pilot's seat, Zhao Rongzhen took the U-shaped pillow on the back seat to the back of his neck, and then leaned on the backrest, as if ready to fall asleep at any time. Comet started the car and drove towards the orchestra.
"I can't sleep well lately." Zhao Rongzhen closed his eyes and replied listlessly.
"Because of Zhang Wei?" Since sending Zhang Wei to Zhao Rongzhen's house, Comet met Zhang Wei once, or Zhang Wei came to the band, and he said that he still owed Comet a meal, Comet didn't care, just hit haha It just passed, after Zhang Wei came to look for Zhao Rongzhen that day, the two of them went out from the rehearsal room, Zhao Rongzhen came back in less than an hour, but Zhang Wei had already left first.
"Well, he snores in his sleep."
"Oh, is that so? Go to sleep for a while, I'll call you when we arrive." Comet seemed to understand, and he still wanted to speak in the usual tone.
Zhao Rongzhen tilted his head and fell asleep leaning on the U-shaped pillow.
Comet kept frowning, he began to feel uneasy, he didn't know what Zhao Rongzhen and Zhang Wei did at home, but he didn't believe it was because of Zhang Wei's "snoring".
In fact, for a while now, Lion Hall has to import a batch of arms from the United States. At night, Zhao Rongzhen and Zhang Wei are having meetings with Lion Hall people, or holding video conferences with people from the American branch. During the day, Zhao Rongzhen needs to be in the orchestra. Things can only be done at night, so Zhao Rongzhen and Zhang Wei can only sacrifice sleep time.
When he got to the band, Comet didn't wake up Zhao Rongzhen immediately, he looked at the sleeping Zhao Rongzhen with research eyes, as if he could see something from his sleeping face, as if the car had stopped, Zhao Rongzhen frowned , and slowly woke up from sleep, Comet also quickly withdrew his gaze.
"Here we are, let's get out of the car." Comet turned off the ignition, opened the car door and got out of the car. Zhao Rongzhen stretched his waist and got out of the car too.
The two put their clothes in the lounge, Hyesung went to the front to prepare for Zhao Rongzhen's practice, Zhao Rongzhen woke up and left the lounge.
Zhao Rongzhen came backstage, chatted with a violinist, and accidentally saw that the person who was tuning the piano on the stage seemed not to be a comet. Everyone knew that as long as Zhao Rongzhen came, other pianists would automatically give up their seats to him. The work will naturally fall on Comet. When Zhao Rongzhen is in a good mood, he will tune the piano by himself.
But today the comet does not know where it went.
Zhao Rongzhen walked onto the stage, only to see Comet below the stage, talking to the group leader.Zhao Rongzhen curiously walked up to the piano tuner who was sitting on the piano chair. The person who was focused on tuning didn't realize that Zhao Rong really existed at first, and was still listening carefully to the sound of each key, but Zhao Rongzhen seemed to have discovered something.
"Oh, Eric, are you here?" The group leader first discovered Zhao Rongzhen's existence, Comet also raised his head, and looked at Zhao Rongzhen on the stage with the group leader, and the tuner also raised his head and saw a pair of surprised eyes looking at him. look at yourself.
Zhao Rongzhen ignored the leader, but looked at Comet, "Comet, do you know each other?" Zhao Rongzhen believed that the person sitting in front of the piano was one of the people in the photo he saw on Comet's computer. .
Comet blankly looked at the people on the piano chair on the stage, shook his head, "I don't know each other, why should we know each other?" Zhao Rongzhen was even more confused, he must have remembered correctly.
"Mr. Zhao Rongzhen?" The tuner stood up, ignoring the conversation between Zhao Rongzhen and Comet, Zhao Rongzhen's attention was also drawn away, the tuner stretched out his right hand, "Hello, I am a new piano tuner Master Li Zhongyi, I have heard about you before, but I have never seen you, it is a great pleasure to meet you today."
Zhao Rongzhen looked down at the hand of friendship stretched out to him, and then at Comet with a dazed face, and couldn't help frowning.
While practicing with his colleagues, Zhao Rongzhen observed Comet and the person who claimed to be Li Zhongyi in the audience. Comet watched his practice while continuing to discuss with the group leader, and Li Zhongyi was sitting in the second place in the auditorium. row, playing with the mobile phone silently, and looking at the stage from time to time, the two of them haven't talked much, as if they really don't know each other.
After a break at 4:[-], Zhao Rongzhen squatted on the edge of the stage habitually, Comet handed him a bottle of water, waited for him to finish drinking, then took the water bottle, Zhao Rongzhen looked up at the auditorium, Li Zhongyi was no longer there, Comet also looked back habitually, but didn't see anyone, "You've always been restless, didn't you suffer from hysteria because you didn't sleep well these days?" Of course Comet found that Zhao Rongzhen was "abnormal".
"You really don't know each other?" Zhao Rongzhen asked again, Comet looked blank at first, and then "understood" who Zhao Rongzhen was referring to.
"Am I the kind of person who pretends not to know someone if I know someone? Would you like to go to my house to have a good sleep today?" Comet looked helpless, and had to propose, Zhao Rongzhen curled his lips and shook his head.
"What were you and the leader talking about just now?" Zhao Rongzhen remembered what Comet and the leader had been discussing just now, and he knew it had something to do with him.
"The head of the group said that you haven't held your own concert since you came back. Many people in the industry and many people who learn piano want to hear your exclusive recital, so the head of the group told me that they want to hold two concerts for you in March. A solo concert."
Zhao Rongzhen nodded indifferently. The solo recital is not a difficult matter, "I don't care. It's fine for the group leader to discuss with you. I'm only in charge of playing the piano and selecting songs, right?"
Comet looked at the people on the stage dissatisfied, "Were you so casual when you gave a solo concert in Europe before? Don't you care about it yourself?" In fact, if he hadn't become a killer, how much Comet would have held a concert His own recital, but now he doesn't even have the chance to sit on the stage and play with others. He is a little jealous that Zhao Rongzhen has such a good opportunity, but he doesn't seem to cherish it very much.
Is it because there is a way out for the Tiger Gang?If you don't want to be a pianist, can you go back and be a prince?
Faced with Comet's pointing, Zhao Rongzhen chuckled, "Do you know the reason why I was admitted to the piano doctorate?" Comet didn't know what Zhao Rongzhen was going to say, and shook his head, "The main reason is—— Concentrate, just concentrate on playing my piano well. Even if other things are related to me, someone will help me to do it. My task is to play the piano well and let more people listen to it. This is responsible for myself and for me. The audience is responsible, do you understand?" Zhao Rongzhen stretched out the index finger of his right hand, and gently tapped the center of Comet's eyebrows, Comet closed his eyes reflexively, but Zhao Rongzhen's words seemed to make sense.
"However, how do you know that I have other friends?" Comet felt something was wrong, so he asked cautiously, Zhao Rongzhen's eyes flickered with panic.
"only……
Zhao Rongzhen seemed to want to say something, but his cell phone rang. He stood up and took out the cell phone from his trouser pocket, "Hello?... Oh, Dad." Zhao Rongzhen raised his eyebrows, he rarely called himself, no Know what to expect if you call at this hour.
While Zhao Rongzhen was listening to the phone, he looked at Comet and pointed to the backstage, motioning for him to go to the backstage to answer the phone first. Comet nodded and watched Zhao Rongzhen gradually walk away until he could no longer see him, but Comet's eyes became sharper.
dad?Zhao Qian?Will something happen?
"...Well, Lion Hall is going to import a batch of goods from the United States recently, and Zhang Wei and I have been following up." Zhao Rongzhen hid behind the curtain, not knowing where Zhao Qian got the news from, and he hardly asked. Regarding the lion hall, Zhao Rongzhen felt that Zhao Qian didn't really want to ask about the lion hall's arms business.
"You and Zhang Wei, be careful, I'm at ease for you two, I actually want to ask you another matter." Sure enough, as Zhao Rongzhen expected, "Do you...do you want to do the drug business? I can let Ying I will share some with you." Zhao Rongzhen was taken aback, he actually hated drugs, when he was in the United States, he had seen many people who were obsessed with drugs, and even their families were ruined, and he himself ended up on a dead end, so even if he obeyed his father to enter Tiger gang, he is also unwilling to do drug business, Zhao Qian wants to do it, it is also his business, he is only interested in arms.
"Father, I haven't thought about it, and I've never thought about the drug business. I think...well, I don't want to do it anyway, I just want to do arms." Zhao Rongzhen told Zhao Qian his thoughts bluntly, Zhao Qian also understood what his son meant, and he didn't want to force Zhao Rongzhen to do something, so he just chatted a few more words, and the two hung up the phone.
Zhao Rongzhen breathed a sigh of relief, put the phone back in his trouser pocket, turned around and was about to go back to the stage, when Comet suddenly appeared behind him, startling him, "Why are you panicking? Didn't you call Dad?" Comet looked calm , as if he had just arrived, Zhao Rongzhen didn't know how much Comet had heard.
"Didn't I say to answer the phone?" Zhao Rongzhen's expression was not very good, as if he was angry.
"I'm just here too, the rehearsal has already started outside, I'll call you."
"Won't you practice first? Will the earth stop spinning without me?"
"I want to practice the piano concerto, how can I practice without a piano?" Comet looked at Zhao Rongzhen innocently, as if he was wronged, Zhao Rongzhen was speechless.
"...I hope you don't follow me when I'm talking on a personal phone call. We're only in a working relationship."
Comet sneered, "Yeah, we're just working, who wants to listen." Comet couldn't hear Zhao Rongzhen talking to him like this, as if he shouldn't be like this in nature, "it's just a working relationship" made Comet feel uncomfortable. As soon as he sank, he didn't want to see Zhao Rongzhen's ugly face anymore, so he lifted the curtain and wanted to go out.
"Hey, where are you going?" Zhao Rongzhen was taken aback, and he called Comet to stop.
"We are just a working relationship. I have nothing to explain to you except work matters." Comet turned his head and glanced at Zhao Rongzhen in astonishment, and left.
Later in the rehearsal, Li Zhongyi wasn't there, probably after get off work, only Comet was sitting in the audience thinking, Zhao Rongzhen thought of Comet's question before answering the phone - how do you know I have other friends?I am a little annoyed that I asked a question that I shouldn't have asked. Didn't I just pretend to be self-reporting and I have seen the comet computer?But he had only seen that photo.
In fact, Comet is also thinking about the same question, why does Zhao Rongzhen feel that he knows Zhongyi?He is just a newcomer to the band. The two of them had agreed to pretend that they didn't know each other when they were in the band, so that one person would stay in the band in case someone exposed the target.
The two had no contact, so how did Zhao Rongzhen know that the two should know each other?
Could it be... what does Zhao Rong really know?
Comet in the auditorium with only gloomy light raised his eyes to look at Zhao Rongzhen who was "indulging" in the piano, a dark light flashed in his eyes.
After 8 o'clock in the evening, the rehearsal was finally over. Comet first, Zhao Rongzhen went back to the lounge, put on his coat, took his schoolbag and went out. Just as Zhao Rong was about to lock the door, Zhao Rong really recovered, and Comet didn't have to lock the door. Zhao Rongzhen left with a glance behind him.
"Hey! Don't you want to go together?" Zhao Rongzhen called Comet who was a few steps away, Comet didn't look back, and left straight away, "Cut, cheapskate." Zhao Rongzhen went into the room, took his things and left after a low voice up.When driving past the station in front of the orchestra, Zhao Rongzhen saw Comet standing on the platform. Because of the cold weather, Comet kept stomping on the spot, with his hands on his lips, and kept breathing, exhaling. His face was blurred by the white gas, and then became clear again as the breath dissipated. Although he was a "graduate student", his attire looked like a student who had just entered university.
Zhao Rongzhen often thinks that it would be great if this person is really a student, maybe he can teach him more about piano.
Lost for a moment, Zhao Rongzhen parked the car next to Comet, Comet was taken aback, and recognized Zhao Rongzhen's car, "Why don't you come up?" Zhao Rongzhen rolled down the window, and returned to his usual smiling appearance.
"We are just a working relationship, how dare I take your car?" Comet couldn't hide the teasing in his tone, Zhao Rongzhen felt a little funny, at this time, a bus came in behind, it happened to be Comet's car to go home, The driver honked the horn to ask Zhao Rongzhen to give way, "Let's go, you've taken up space." Comet seemed determined not to take Zhao Rongzhen's car, and walked to the bus behind, seeing that Zhao Rongzhen didn't seem to have the intention of driving away, he just He opened the car door, and after all the people who got out of the car got off, Comet also got on the car with the team.
Zhao Rongzhen shook his head helplessly, started the car and drove towards Shitang's office, but he didn't pay attention, after he started the car, a black car parked on the side of the road also started slowly, not far away followed him closely.
On the way to the company, Zhao Rongzhen called Zhang Wei. Zhang Wei was still at the company and was about to leave work. Zhao Rongzhen asked him to wait at the company and he went to pick him up.
When he arrived at the company, Zhao Rongzhen called Zhang Wei and asked him to come down. When he was waiting under the building, the black car stopped about 50 meters away from Zhao Rongzhen. The brightly lit building seemed to be waiting for something. After a while, Zhang Wei went downstairs, walked out of the gate and got into Zhao Rongzhen's car. After Zhao Rongzhen's car drove away, the black car did not leave. The driver took out his mobile phone and dialed Got a number.
"Hello? Brother Comet, I'm downstairs in the Miracle Building, which should be the 10th floor. Just now, only the lights on the 10th floor were turned off... Well, I got it. Are you home yet?...Okay, I'll go back now, let's talk about it later. "
The driver started the car and drove slowly into the night...
