Inferior by Nature

My cello lessons are arranged every afternoon, after Mr. Jin Yuanbao has finished his English class.

It's actually a little late for him to learn the piano at this age, but the Jin family let him learn the piano, presumably not for the purpose of becoming a musician.How well you learn is the second, and the main thing is to cultivate your sentiment and cultivate your artistic appreciation.

For the first hour, Young Master Jin was very interested in the cello. I taught him wholeheartedly and he enjoyed learning.But as time went by, with more repetitive actions, he began to get impatient.

Learning the piano is not achieved overnight. After the initial novelty disappears, you must rely on hard work and sweat, love and perseverance to persevere well.The young master obviously has neither perseverance nor love, and the cello is not something he must insist on.

I had to stop today's teaching and asked Butler Feng to bring him snacks and milk after he was sore and hungry and wanted to have some snacks for a short rest.

Maybe he also knew that what he did was wrong. He wanted to please me, so he specially gave me the largest and most beautiful piece of cake on the dessert plate, and even took the initiative to chat with me, as if he wanted to get closer to each other.

It was only now that I found out that he had never left the island when he grew up, and he never even went to school. All his education was carried out in this castle.

"Father said that you will be caught by monsters when you go out. My brother was caught by monsters when I was my age, and there is still a big scar on his shoulder." Jin Yuanbao dangled his feet and ate small biscuits , mumbled in his mouth.

"Monster?" I seem to have heard Nan Xian say that Jin Chenyu was kidnapped by his enemies when he was seven or eight years old. Although he was rescued later, the Jin family suffered heavy losses and many people died. He was seriously injured and stayed in the hospital for a long time.

It is not difficult to understand that the eldest son almost encountered an accident, so he should be more cautious about the younger son.

"Thanks to Uncle Zheng, if he hadn't saved my brother, my brother would have been eaten by monsters." Afraid I didn't understand, he added, "Uncle Zheng is the youngest's father."

The movement of picking up the teacup paused slightly. I was afraid that I had misunderstood it, so I specifically asked: "The youngest... is tall, with short hair. Is there a tattoo here?" I pointed to my neck s position.

"Yes, that's him. Uncle Zheng is my father's good brother. He died trying to save my brother. My brother said that the youngest will be our good brother in the future." Jin Yuanbao pouted, with a melancholy expression on his face, "But He doesn't even play with me, I don't like him."

Ran Qingzhuang's father died to save Jin Chenyu?

I seem to understand why Ran Qingzhuang appeared here, and why he became a senior member of the Union Group at such a young age.

Uncle Zheng is Ran Qingzhuang's father. He has been attached to the Jin family since his early years, and he and Jin Feisheng, the "Godfather" of the Union Group at that time, have been called brothers and brothers.Later, Jin Feisheng may have been too popular, and he was revenged by his enemies, and his son was kidnapped.

I don't know in the middle, it must be after a fierce rescue, in the end Uncle Zheng died unfortunately in order to save Jin Chenyu, and Ran Qingzhuang has become an orphan since then.

It must be because of this relationship that Ran Qingzhuang was treated differently by Jin Feisheng, and it was because of this that Jin Chenyu supported him to become a confidant.

From this point of view, it is because of my relationship that he went on a crooked path. This guess is basically confirmed.

If I hadn't reported him and Lin Sheng, he wouldn't have been expelled from school, he would have been able to go to the police academy after graduation, he could have become what he wanted to be, and he would never have anything to do with the Jin family again.

I killed him, really I killed him...

After finishing snacks with Young Master Jin, he suddenly became sleepy and kept yawning.Steward Feng asked the maid to take him back to sleep without waiting for the young master's order.

I went to work on the first day, and I got off work before the strings were warmed up, which was somewhat disturbing.

Steward Feng may have noticed it, and comforted me: "Teacher Ji doesn't need to burden too much, everything is based on the young master's happiness. If he likes you, teach him. If he doesn't want to learn, you can just rest at ease."

If it is really a rich family, they spend a lot of money to hire tutors, not for the sake of learning, but for happiness.

"Teacher Ji just came to the island, and in the past two days, someone can take you for a walk to familiarize yourself with the environment."

After Feng Butler finished speaking, he personally sent me out the door.

The black business car that brought me here more than an hour ago is still parked in the same place, and Chen Qiao is dozing off in the car.When I knocked on the car window, I woke up in a panic, with a haze on the corner of my mouth.

"Brother Ning, can it be so soon?" He got out of the car and helped me stuff the Qin into the trunk, took out his mobile phone and looked at it, "Didn't you say it's five o'clock? It's only three o'clock."

"Young master is sleepy, go to sleep." I said.

Thinking of Feng Butler's words, after getting in the car, I asked Chen Qiao if he could act as a guide and take me to visit the scenery of the Lion King Island.He patted his chest and agreed, telling me to keep it safe, he will definitely do a good job as a guide, and I will never forget to return.

The first attraction is a lighthouse at the highest point on the island.

The lighthouse stands tall on a steep cliff, and you can see a green mountain forest. At this height, you can see farther from the lighthouse. It is not difficult to inspect the entire island and even the surrounding sea area.

"At night, the searchlight on the lighthouse will be on. Brother Ning, have you seen those people? They will use binoculars to check the sea and the island over and over again to make sure no rats come up." Chen Qiao pointed to the lighthouse to stand guard The two humanity.

Of course, I would not foolishly think that the "rat" in his mouth is a real biological meaning.The bald head also referred to Ran Qingzhuang as a "rat", which should be a synonym for those who scurry around at night with unknown purposes and try to avoid the patrol on the island.

I couldn't help asking: "What will happen if a mouse is found?"

Chen Qiao folded his arms around his chest, thought for a moment, and said, "Should be caught and sunk."

I felt a chill in my heart, and suddenly felt that this scenic spot was boring.

"I'm just kidding, brother Ning, you look so serious." Chen Qiao laughed suddenly, "I'm talking nonsense, I don't know, I've only had this string of numbers tattooed for a year, and I haven't seen anyone sneaking in on them desperately. Island." As he said, he turned his back, lifted his jacket, and showed me the four black numbers on his waist.

1113 is different from Ran Qingzhuang's 0417.

Wrapped in my coat, facing the sea breeze, I walked to a small church next to the lighthouse.

"What do you mean by that? Is each of your tattoos a number chosen by yourself?"

Chen Qiao put down the hem of his clothes, caught up with me and said, "That's right, I choose randomly, no one cares anyway. Mine is a birthday, others have lucky numbers, some are family birthdays, and wedding anniversaries, anyway. everything."

Chen Qiao said that in the beginning they didn't have a hard and fast rule about getting tattoos, but Jin Feisheng had a tattoo of the number "8" on his tiger's mouth. Others followed suit and tattooed numbers on themselves in order to flatter their boss.It was passed on from ten to ten, and later on, it became the same tradition agreed by their organization, and it also became a kind of symbol.

"What do the numbers on Ran Qingzhuang's neck mean?"

Chen Qiao was surprised and said, "Did Brother Yao not tell you?"

I lightly pressed my hand on the wooden door of the church, and Wen Yan said in as natural a tone as possible: "He doesn't really talk to me about these things."

"That's right, it's not a big deal, so let's not talk about it." Chen Qiaodao, "That seems to be the date he joined the company."

It was the date when he became the "youngest man", the kind of person he hated and despised the most.

The church is not very big, and there are only six rows of seats in total. It may have been too long since no one came, and there is a smell of dust in the air.

Chen Qiao sneezed twice, and pushed open a small window next to the Jesus statue unbearably.

The airflow immediately rushed out of the door through the small window. Under the effect of the narrow tube, the hair was blown by the strong wind. I squinted and looked out the window, and found that it was facing the sea, and outside was a blue sea like an oil painting.

"From a distance, does it look like there is a painting hanging on the wall? This painting is very famous, and it is a check-in spot for Internet celebrities on the island." Chen Qiao introduced.

Being able to see such a beautiful scenery before I die may be God's reward for my sincere repentance.

I took a photo of the small window, intending to collect all nine photos and post a post.

After seeing the main landscape on the west side, Chen Qiaoben wanted to take me to the casino on the east side to gain insight, but I saw that it was getting late, so I made an appointment for the next time.

Chen Qiao was not reluctant, and drove me back to the Red House after going down the mountain.

As soon as I walked in, I found that Ran Qingzhuang was already at home, exercising in the living room.

He didn't care who came in, and he didn't look up, just doing push-ups without distraction.The black vest on his body was already soaked, and the sweat was constantly oozing from his pores. He walked slowly along with the texture of his muscles, crossed hills and valleys, and finally hit the floor due to gravity.

"Crack", it seems that the sound can be heard.

Afraid of disturbing him, I moved lightly and tiptoed into the bedroom with the violin on my back. After putting the cello away, I opened the door with the same careful gesture and went to the bathroom.

There is only one bathroom in this suite, so Ran Qingzhuang and I share it.His toiletries are on the left, mine are on the right.

After rubbing the soap and washing his hands carefully, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a ring on the left side of the sink.I just saw it yesterday, Ran Qingzhuang was wearing a silver ring on his body with a leather cord.

I knew I shouldn't have touched it, but somehow, when I came to my senses, the ring was already in my hand.

The silver body of the ring is slightly blackened, and it looks like it has aged. There is a circle of complicated patterns on the surface, and the inner circle...

I slowly turned to the inner circle, and two letters engraved into the body of the ring came into view - LS.

Lin Sheng.

It stands to reason that he should receive the same treatment as Ran Qingzhuang, and even...I should feel more guilty towards him than Ran Qingzhuang, after all, I acted like that to snatch his quota.

but i can't...

Dazedly, he raised his hand to his heart.

What can't be done?There is like an annoying fog in my mind, firmly covering the correct answer, no matter how hard it is to drive it away.

"What are you doing?"

I was startled by the sudden voice behind me, my hand trembled, the ring fell into the washbasin, and the bones slid down the drain.

The washbasin is the most primitive style with a rubber stopper. When the water is not stored, the stopper is put aside, and it is plugged in after the water is stored. There is no leak-proof net.If the ring is dropped, it's hard to get it back.

I reached out to fish in vain, but my reaction was still a step slow. The ring fell into the drain and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

I stood there stupidly, my heart was in a mess, Ran Qingzhuang pulled me by the back of my collar and roughly pushed me aside, eagerly stuck his fingers into the drain, as if to make sure the ring was not stuck in the water pipe.

But he was doomed to be disappointed, the ring had already fallen down the water pipe, unless the wash basin was smashed open and the pipe was broken, it would be impossible to find it.

After digging for a while, he also realized the reality. His hands were slumped on both sides of the sink, and his face was lowered, so that people could not see his expression clearly.

"I, I'm going to contact the maintenance man and ask him to break the pipe. I'll pay for all the damage. Don't worry."

I hurriedly took out the mobile phone in my pocket. Chen Qiao gave me the contact information of the maintenance worker of the building. I remembered it. I will call him immediately and I will be able to take out the ring soon...

"Ji Ning, what on earth are you going to do?" When I was looking for the phone number, Ran Qingzhuang suddenly sighed and asked in a calm tone.

I held the phone and was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer, and a little scared. I always felt that his current state was like the calm before the storm.I'm afraid it will explode anytime, anywhere and tear me to pieces.

"I'm sorry, I... I really didn't mean to..." I sincerely confessed my mistake to him, my fingertips hesitated, and tremblingly wanted to touch his arm.

But before it happened, the storm came.

After throwing the phone far away, Ran Qingzhuang grabbed my arm, grabbed my hair with five fingers, and pressed me against the sink with force that could not be resisted.

"What the hell are you going to do?" Ran Qingzhuang asked again, with a completely different tone, obviously extremely angry.
