Inferior by Nature

Sunny days are best for stargazing, drizzle for bamboo viewing, and neither too sunny nor too cloudy for watching sunsets.It's best to have some fine floating clouds in the sky, and as the east and west sink, they change little by little from red to purple.

Such an evening is most suitable for Bach.

The bleakness after the glory, the loneliness after the noise faded, seem to be tailor-made scenes.When the afterglow outside the window spilled into the classroom and onto the piano, the strings seemed to vibrate with joy.

If it could talk, it would surely follow me and shout: "Bach is the best!"

"Are you planning to be a musician in the future?"

In the wonderful piece of music, a low and lazy voice suddenly inserted, unexpectedly not abrupt, on the contrary, it fits perfectly with the sound of the cello.

I opened my eyes, looked at Ran Qingzhuang who was propping his head not far away, and said, "I never thought about it, I should be admitted to the Conservatory of Music. How about you?"

The sound of the zither did not stop there, and continued. Ran Qingzhuang fell into deep thought, and probably didn't reply to me for a minute or two.

I don't have much experience in getting along with people, and I am always afraid that I will make him angry by saying the wrong thing again.His long silence was particularly disturbing.Once distracted, the pitch went wrong, a little off, and dissonant notes appeared in the originally smooth music.

I quickly adjusted, but my mood was still affected, and I could no longer enjoy the rare beauty of the sunset.

"I want to go to the police academy."

Ran Qingzhuang looked out the window, half of his body was dyed golden orange by the setting sun.

"I know, I won't pass. Ultimately I'm bound to fail the background check, they won't let a gang member's son into the force, but I want to try anyway."

"My grandma always said that I look like my dad, but I don't want to be like him. I will never be like him and become a moth in this society."

The movement of the left hand gradually failed to keep up with the other hand, and the sound of the piano was a little bit out of shape, and eventually the tune was out of tune.I frowned, and could only put down the bow in frustration and stop practicing.

Compared with Ran Qingzhuang's lofty ambition, my ideal may only be described as "shallow".

It was my parents' idea to learn the cello, and I persisted because I couldn't bear my mother's sadness, and wanted to enter the conservatory of music... I followed the trend.Thinking about it this way, there is nothing I desire from the bottom of my heart along the way.

Actually, I don't quite understand Ran Qingzhuang's mentality of wanting to try despite knowing failure. I don't understand his persistence, nor his persistence.

"I don't want to be a person who creates evil, I want to be a person who punishes evil." Ran Qingzhuang turned his face, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, showing a rare smile, "Do you think I'm stupid?" He said with a chuckle Get up, as if being amused by yourself.

"No!" I tightly held the hand of the bow, and shook my head vigorously. I couldn't say anything beautiful at the moment, but I could only promise clumsily, "You will definitely be able to pass the exam, and you will definitely be able to... become the one you want to be. humanoid."

Ran Qingzhuang was taken aback for a moment, and laughed even harder.I was so dazed by his laughter, I scratched the strings and thought wildly, wondering if I had said something wrong again.

Enough of laughing, without looking at me, Ran Qingzhuang picked up the Chinese book on the table, opened a page and started to read.

"Let me give you a good word," he said.

Although I don't understand his persistence, nor his persistence, we are not on the same "Tao", but this does not mean that his way is wrong.

There are thousands of roads, some roads are solitary and difficult to obstruct, but as long as you are on the right way, you can always achieve the right result.

The phone rings continuously and continuously, waking me up from my sleep.

I struggled to get up, checked the phone, and found that it was Fang Luosu's call.

"Hello?" I pressed the call button, my voice was still hoarse because I just woke up.

From the other end came Fang Luosu's heavy sigh.These days when I came to the island, I thought that she and Nan Xian are both adults, and they should be able to solve their relationship problems properly, so I didn't get involved in their affairs.Now that she called suddenly, she still looks like this, which makes me a little flustered.

"What's wrong? What happened?" I asked.

"I divorced Nan Xian." Fang Luosu replied.

It's not surprising that Nan Xian is a character who can't tolerate sand in his eyes.

"What about the child?"

Fang Luosu laughed, not the kind of happy and joyful smile, with a little helplessness and a little teasing.

"Why are you so easy to deceive? There are no children at all, so I deceived you. You are so tight, I can only think of this dirty trick."

I never expected that she would tell such a lie. I was a little shocked, and felt a little anger of being deceived.

She heard that I was silent, and she probably knew that I was angry, so she smiled and said, "I'm not a good woman, is it surprising? I called mainly to apologize to you. Don't take the angry words I said that day to your heart." Go, you are a very good person, I am not as good as you, I am hypocritical. I am not only hypocritical, but also vain."

"The matter between me and Manager Xin was told by his wife to Nan Xian. I misunderstood you. This matter is known to everyone now. Manager Xin suspended his job and went home, and I was fired. Now that the divorce is completed, I plan to return to my hometown later. Development, never come to Chonghai again.”

I have only been in a few months, and it seems that this phone call is going to be the last word between us.

When a person is about to die, his words are also kind.I'm about to die, why bother with her so much?Besides, there is no deep hatred between us.

After I figured it out, I stopped being angry and said, "It's good to start over in another place. Chonghai's pace is too fast, making people impetuous."

Fang Luosu gave a faint "hmm" and said, "I will contact you later when I have a chance."

Even though she said that, she and I both know that we will not be in touch again.

After a while of silence, we chose to end the conversation tacitly. Before hanging up the phone, Fang Luosu seemed to suddenly realize that there was something he hadn't explained, so he stopped me and said, "By the way, you don't have to worry about Nanxian, I explained it to him. .But you know him, he is aggressive when he is angry, and cowardly when his anger subsides. It may take some time before he can face you."

Then his self-digestion time should be faster, otherwise I don't guarantee that he can see me alive.

After talking on the phone with Fang Luosu, I got up to wash up, went into the bathroom, and first looked at the dirty clothes basket.He didn't see any dirty clothes, so he knew that Ran Qingzhuang hadn't come back yet.

He has not been seen for a week. According to Chen Qiao, he seems to have left the island with Mr. Jin and went to another place, and he does not know when he will return.

While brushing his teeth, he recalled the scene from his dream.

It seemed like I hadn't seen such a sunset for a long time.

I still don't know why Ran Qingzhuang was in such a good mood that day, and suddenly wanted to talk to me about the future.But I always feel that from that day on, the relationship between me and him is different.It's like in the game, relying on the favorability degree to brush strangers from "accidental encounter" to "casual acquaintance".He and I have also become a relationship that can become a "friend" although we don't have a deep friendship.

Because of this, it seems that what I did later became more and more dirty and unbearable.

Young Master Yuan Bao is a lively and active grader, learning the piano for one hour a day is the limit, and the rest of the time is either eating or sleepy, and a few times when he is not hungry and does not want to sleep, he just drags me to play with him When the cat catches the mouse.

There are almost five steps and one post in the castle, but because of the status of the young master, no one dares to stop him.

He ran around the house, and sometimes I would be dizzy by him and get lost in the maze-like castle.

"Young master? Young master?" Passing through the banquet hall, I completely lost track of Jin Yuanbao, and could only walk aimlessly while calling his name.

As he was walking, he suddenly heard someone's voice coming from a half-closed door in front of him.

"If you can't do this well, don't appear in front of me again!"

It was Jin Chenyu's voice, which sounded very annoyed.

"Check it out for me, where did the news come from?"

The thick carpet under my feet absorbs all the sound of my footsteps, and I get closer, but the other party doesn't notice it at all.

"It should be the casino. There are many people talking there, and it is the easiest place to pass news..." Another hoarse male voice said, "I'm afraid there is more than one mouse on the island."

I stopped and didn't come any closer.

I also recognized the voice, it was the bald head.

From Chen Qiao's side, I know that the bald head is called Kong Tan, nicknamed Viper, before Ran Qingzhuang came, he was the most favored by Jin Feisheng among the younger generation in the Union Group.But when Ran Qingzhuang came, Kong Tan was overwhelmed by him no matter in mind or heart.Jin Feisheng favored Ran Qingzhuang even more, and quickly promoted him to be equal to Kong Tan.

This caused the two to never deal with each other.In the past two years, Jin Feisheng gradually delegated authority to his son, and the two began to help Jin Chenyu with work. They appeared to be brothers and sisters, but secretly fought openly and secretly.

A while ago, there was a mistake in the Jin family’s business. I don’t know what kind of business is at Chen Qiao’s level, and I didn’t want to know, but because of this mistake, Kong Tan felt that there must be an inner ghost, so he investigated for a long time.The people in Ran Qingzhuang's branch received special treatment, which made everyone on the island panic and dare not speak out against him.

"Teacher, I'm here!" The immature child's voice suddenly came from behind, making my scalp numb with fright.

"Who?" Kong Tan pushed open the door, saw me, squinted his eyes, and said, "Why are you here?"

I clutched my chest, my heart almost jumped out of my throat: "I...I'm looking for the young master."

Jin Yuanbao ran over from behind, grabbed my sleeve, hid most of his body behind me, and said in a timid and unfriendly tone: "I'm playing cat and mouse with the teacher, it's none of your business. "

Kong Tan raised his eyebrows: "Young master?"

Jin Chenyu turned around from behind him at this time, there was no anger on his face, only a familiar, mask-like smile.

"Yuan Bao, why did you come here?"

He waved, and the young master threw himself into his arms.

"Didn't I tell you that you can't enter here casually?"

The young master raised his head, not very convinced: "This is my home, where can I not enter?"

Jin Chenyu patted his head lovingly, as if there was nothing he could do about this younger brother.

"You can go in, but you can't bring others in. How do you know if that person is a bad person?" He said, looking up at me, the curve of his lips became more obvious, "Do you think so? Teacher Ji."

I took a step back unconsciously, feeling cold all over, and felt like a rabbit thrown into the wild animal area - no matter how much I jumped around, I would die sooner or later.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know you couldn't come here. When I came here, no one stopped me..." I pointed to the way behind me.

"Mr. Ji, don't be nervous, of course you are not a bad person. You are the youngest person, and you are also ours." Jin Chenyu gently pushed my back, his tone of kindness made people creepy.

He and I were talking while walking outside.After leaving the unknown "confidential forbidden area" and sending us back to the teaching room, Jin Chenyu said that he still had something to do, so he would not accompany us, and took Kong Tan away.

As soon as he left, I immediately sat down on the chair, only to find that the fabric on my back had already been soaked in cold sweat.
