are you a cat

The food in this restaurant is very fast, and it didn't take long for the waiter to come up with a baking tray and stand by the table to shave the main thorns.

The vegetables that Xu Yuxing ordered were all boiled in white water and spread around the grill pan. After finishing these, the waiter said please take the plate with the fishbone on it and left.

It took less than 2 minutes for the food to be served, and Ye Chen didn't look up the whole time. Xu Yuxing reached out to remove the plastic seal from the chopsticks for him, but he was also indifferent.

Xu Yuxing tapped the side of the baking tray with the chopsticks in his hand: "Kids, don't look at your phone while eating."

Yechen glanced at him, turned off the screen and took the chopsticks.

He was very quiet throughout the meal, and if Xu Yuxing didn't talk to him, he wouldn't say a word.

Xu Yuxing would not refuse any dish that Xu Yuxing put in his bowl, and when he didn't want to say thank you, he lightly touched the edge of the bowl with the tip of his chopsticks as a thank you.

Xu Yuxing didn't like seeing Yechen like this.

On weekdays, you have to handle the small bombs that are about to blow up if you don’t pay attention. Today, you are silent like a squib that won’t respond when you throw it on the ground. Even if you are not used to it, it will inevitably make people care.

Last night when Xu Yuxing went home for dinner, Yu Ning, who heard the news, ran over to play with his brother, and even pestered him to spend the night together.

Lying on the bed at night, when Xu Yuxing mentioned Yechen, the little guy who held his arm and didn't let go grumbled for a long time before secretly saying that he wanted to tell Xu Yuxing a secret.

He also asked Xu Yuxing to promise not to tell anyone.

Xu Yuxing solemnly raised his fingers and swear to the sky.

Then Yu Ning quietly told him that she didn't like Brother Yechen.

Xu Yuxing asked him why, and Yu Ning said it was because Brother Yechen didn't like him.

The sensitivity of children is often beyond the imagination of adults. They can perceive many things that adults will ignore or that adults will not care about at all.

As for the reason why Ye Chen doesn't like Yu Ning, Xu Yuxing can guess it without even thinking about it.

So what made Yechen depressed today, could it be because of this?

Yechen picked up a piece of fish and fed it into his mouth, then raised his eyelids and glanced at Xu Yuxing.

Xu Yuxing smiled, and didn't shy away from staring at him for a long time just now, then took out a piece of toilet paper and put his hand to Yechen's mouth: "I'm messing with my face."

Yechen turned to the side to avoid him and raised his hand to wipe it.

The back of the hand is clean, and there is no food residue.

He looked at Xu Yuxing, and the latter coughed lightly, frankly and perfunctorily: "I got it wrong."

Ye Chen didn't even have the desire to scold him.

Xu Yuxing was full anyway, so he simply put down his chopsticks and looked at Yechen with his hands on his chin.

He asked: "Child, what are you going to do after dinner?"

To be honest, Ye Chen didn't know what to do next.

If he hadn't met Xu Yuxing, he might have a casual meal and go home. After returning home, he might paint, or sit on the sofa and pet the cat, or ask Deng Xingbai Jingping out to play basketball.

In short, it is the same as usual, except that Ye Zeyang may be chased by a phone call and scolded, it is still a very ordinary day.

But when asked by Xu Yuxing at this moment, his mind went blank.

He shook his head. He wanted to say that he didn't know, but the three words turned into: "Go home."

Xu Yuxing could almost foresee the scene of the child returning home and facing the empty room alone.

"That's boring." He didn't want to leave him alone. "Would you like to play in our band's studio?"

Ye Chen seriously thought about it.

Xu Yuxing said, "We will give you an exclusive performance."

Ye Chen paused: "Not interested."

Xu Yuxing asked him what he was interested in, but Ye Chen ignored him, so he changed his questioning method again: "Xiao Chen, what do you think of my violin playing?"

Yechen was silent for two seconds before saying, "It's okay."

Xu Yuxing was delighted when he heard it.

How can I say that he was the principal violinist of a symphony orchestra for several years before returning to China. There are only a handful of musicians at his age who can become the principal violinist in a symphony orchestra. Some people commented that the pull is not bad.

He smiled and asked Yechen: "It's just okay?"

Yechen's thin lips stretched out in a straight line, and he didn't answer.

Xu Yuxing smiled even more, and did not continue to expose his duplicity.

"Then you have to go with me." He began to play helplessly, "I must use my piano skills to conquer you."

The two of them had already left the grilled fish shop, Xu Yuxing held Yechen's shoulders, and pressed all his weight on him like a boneless one, just like sleeping at home until midnight and going to run to Yechen's chest curled up on him forcefully Ning Ning seemed out of breath.

Yechen pushed it twice but failed to push it away, and finally came to light the fire: "Xu Yuxing, are you annoying!"

Xu Yuxing said shamelessly, "It's not big or small, Xu Yuxing was also called by you?" He bent down and hooked his head to meet Yechen's eyes, "Call me brother, can I hear you?"

The four eyes met for a moment, and Yechen was about to leave with a sullen face.

Xu Yuxing grabbed his wrist and said with a smile, "If you don't bark, don't bark. Why do you get angry at every turn?"

Yechen: "Let go."

Xu Yuxing: "Then I let you go."

Yechen didn't speak, and Xu Yuxing didn't let go.

Yechen struggled twice, but Xu Yuxing was an adult about 1.9 meters tall, and the two were very different in size and strength.

He became irritable, staring at Xu Yuxing and scolding people with his eyes.

Xu Yuxing was indifferent, and automatically blocked the swear words in Yechen's eyes.

He glanced at the time, and it was less than half an hour before he made an appointment with the people from the music company: "I'm going to the coffee shop downstairs to talk about something, can you go with me?"

Yechen: "..."

Xu Yuxing: "If you don't speak, you agree."

Yechen: "No."

"Mom, hurry up, I want to play the dancing machine!"

The two of them unknowingly walked near the video game city in the shopping mall. A seven or eight-year-old girl with twin ponytails ran past them like the wind, and rushed to occupy a place next to the dancing machine at the entrance of the video game city, but she urged her mother to hurry up. point.

The mother and daughter should come here often, and they didn't go to the front desk to exchange coins. The young mother who seemed to be in her early 30s directly took out the online membership card from her bag.

Seeing that Yechen was also looking in the direction of the video game city, Xu Yuxing asked, "Do you want to play?"

At this moment, he didn't intentionally hold Yechen and didn't let go, and Yechen pulled out his wrist with a light twitch. He said in disgust, "What's so funny about this."

Xu Yuxing grabbed him again and dragged him into the video game city without any explanation.

On the way, he received a call from Shen Mu urging him.

"How much to buy?" asked the little brother at the front desk.

Xu Yuxing glanced at the amount exchanged for the game currency, unlocked the phone and scanned the green payment at the front desk: "300."

The coin dispenser spat out the game coins with a rattling sound, which envied the little boy who was holding the 50 yuan given by his parents to buy coins behind them.

He leaned on the counter at the front desk: "You bought so much?"

Xu Yuxing lowered his eyes: "Are you envious?"

The little boy said, "I only have 50 yuan."

The boy at the front desk put the small plastic basket full of game coins on the counter, and Xu Yuxing carried the small basket and said to the little boy, "After all, there are not many parents as generous as me."

After speaking, he asked the person next to him with his hands in his pockets and his back leaning against the counter indifferently: "Do you think so, Xiaochen?"

Yechen was forcibly pulled into the video game city by him, with a displeased face on his face, he glanced at him.

Xu Yuxing handed him the game coins and patted his head: "You wait for me here, and I will come up to you after I finish talking."

Ye Chen patted his hand away, grabbed the small plastic basket containing game coins, and got into the video game city without looking at him.

Yechen seldom comes to places like video games city. When he was young, no one brought him here. When he grows up, there are more other ways to pass the time.

Today is the weekend, and there are many people in the video game city, ranging from middle-aged people in their 40s and [-]s to children in their [-]s and [-]s. Most of them are students around his age.

But basically they come in groups.

After playing a few games, Yechen became a little idle, wandering around with a basket of game coins, looking at one game and another game, he didn’t have much interest in it, he sat by the dance machine and watched other people dance, thinking that he would rather waste it here The time is not as good as going home and painting.

Although he thought so in his heart, he still repeatedly grabbed the game coins in the basket and did not get up.

I don't know how long he sat there, but he finally got up and used the coin pusher to push 200 yuan of game coins and the particles were not collected.

Yechen wandered from the fifth floor of the shopping mall to the first floor. When passing by the coffee shop on the first floor, he subconsciously glanced inside, and sure enough, he saw the band members with their backs turned to him.

Sitting opposite them was a round-faced man, probably the representative of the music company that Xu Yuxing mentioned.

He only took one look before looking away.

This shopping mall is very large, connecting two office buildings, and passing through an open-air patio is the other side of the mall.

There is a booth in the lobby of the shopping mall here, and there is a grand piano on it.

It should be a sales booth. Occasionally, someone will go up to test the bomb, and then the salesperson will pull it aside and hand over the product brochure.

The level of passers-by is uneven, but the piano sound is pleasant, and it is not unpleasant to press two keys casually.

Yechen also learned piano when he was a child, and passed the eighth grade in the fifth grade of elementary school.

But later, the quarrel between Yu Ning and Ye Zeyang intensified, which also affected Ye Chen's failure in the next two grade examinations. After that, Ye Chen never touched the piano again until their marriage broke down completely.

Hadn't seen it at this moment, he almost forgot that he could play the piano.

The salesman of the piano brand saw him standing under the booth for a long time, and came up to invite him: "Student, do you want to try playing?"

Ye Chen shook his head.

"No force to buy," the sales sister thought he was worried, explained with a bright smile, and then pressed Yechen on the piano bench very enthusiastically, "You can play whatever you want."

Yechen couldn't stand the kindness of strangers the most, looking down at the interlaced black and white keys, he didn't know what to play.

He hasn't touched a piano for a long time.

The sales lady had noticed Ye Chen a long time ago, and the reason why she insisted on letting him play the piano was nothing more than to see that he was handsome, sitting here would be a handsome guy playing the piano, what an attractive picture.

As for whether you can play the piano or not, it doesn't matter at all.

She said, "It's okay, you can play whatever you want."

Yechen touched the keys of the piano.

Some pianos don’t need to be played, just by looking at the workmanship and smooth keys, you can know whether it is a good piano or not.

Yechen got used to the paintbrush, and it took him a long time to remember a piano score that he had heard not long ago, but the memory was fragmentary and incomplete.

He pressed a key a little strangely.

The sound of the piano is like spring water, and the timbre is excellent.

The young man on the booth was sitting upright, playing a melodious tune with his slender and beautiful fingertips.

The sales lady was originally just greedy for the beautiful appearance of young people. Hearing the smoother and smoother music, she couldn't help but praise herself in her heart. Looking at the people who were constantly attracted by the booth, she only hoped that Yechen could play them. Move out.

It's been a long time since I touched the piano, and my body's muscle memory has not forgotten it, but the score is far away. Although Ye Chen plays more and more smoothly, he is not as easy as he seems.

He played intently, trying not to make mistakes.

Suddenly, he heard a broadcast from the shopping mall: "There is a missing person notice being broadcast now. Kid Yechen, please go to the service desk on the first floor as soon as you hear the broadcast. Your parents are waiting for you. If you can't find your way, you can ask the staff of the mall." help."

"Little Yechen, please come to the information desk on the first floor as soon as you hear the broadcast. Your parents are waiting for you."

When the sweet female voice on the radio repeated for the second time, Yechen had already missed three notes.
