Winter in Chunxi is rainy and snowy, especially when the New Year is approaching, the sun doesn’t come out very much, people stay indoors, there is no difference between day and night.

Shen Qi didn't go out all afternoon, the curtains of the piano room were only half drawn, and the light was so weak that it couldn't match the little snow on the window sill.

The rose that was placed on the piano back then has withered and withered, leaving behind a narrow-mouthed vase.

The family thought that Shen Qi liked roses, even if he couldn't enter here once in ten days and half a month, the aunt would put a fresh rose in the vase after cleaning every day.

It was motionless and silent, so quiet that one could hear the sound of snow falling. After careful examination, it was discovered that there was not only snow, but also fine ice beads.The windows were covered with mist, and the heat in the room melted it into water, flowing here and melting there, and the glass was split into mottled pieces.

Shen Qi caught a glimpse of his own shadow, and suddenly felt that he couldn't stand the dark environment. He wanted to do something, but he didn't want to turn on the light, so he turned on the phone.

Whether it is a group chat or a private chat on WeChat, there are a lot of unread and unanswered messages.The only difference from before is that he no longer has a "rabbit" on top, and the chat history with him has also been squeezed to the end.

After quitting, I clicked into their playlist, which seemed to have been abandoned for a long time, and no one added new songs to it.

Shen Qi clicked on a song, it showed that one person was online, staring at the progress bar from beginning to end, he was still the only one online.

As soon as the next song was randomly played, Shen Qi's half-drooped eyelids lifted a little, and the tiredness in his eyes changed.

It was played by Gu Jing.

Last summer, in this piano room, he sat beside him and recorded it for him.

Gu Jing asked him to record a song too, but he reasoned that he couldn't play it well.Thinking about it now, I was really hypocritical at that time. While talking about not playing, I made trouble when Gu Jing was playing.

He couldn't forget the scene that day, there were green leaves in front of the window, cicadas chirping in the trees, and unknown birds chirping.

Who has bigger palms, longer fingers, and better-looking fingertips on the keys.

Gu Jing was playing the piano and ignored him, so he deliberately pressed his hands on top of him, making a sound noisier than cicadas.

Look at him, always so bad.

To be quiet at the same time, to provoke at the same time, the capriciousness is annoying.

The music was in progress, he raised his hand to close it, his fingers hung in the air for a long time, and finally changed lanes and knocked on the piano.

After a sudden sound, the lingering sound dissipated.

His fingers lay flat on the keys, and his mind was filled with images of Gu Jing sitting here playing. He slowly bent his joints, rubbing his fingertips on them.

The sound of the music brushed past my ears, and the indescribable heart palpitations suddenly struck.Looking away from the phone, he tilted his head and saw the rose placed on the piano. He stared blankly for a while, and when he realized it, the flower had already been held in his palm.

He pushed aside a few petals with his index finger, stroked them carefully, and sniffed them lightly.

The aroma is not exaggerated to be intoxicating, but it is inexplicably addictive to him, just like the sound of the piano in the ear, gradually reaching a climax from a gentle prelude.

Close your eyes and listen until the end of the song.There was a period of silence between the switches, and it dawned on me when I opened my eyes.

His fingertips were dyed the color of roses, but he crushed more than just flowers.

Shen Qi got up from the piano bench in an instant, walked to the window, walked around behind the curtain, and paced step by step, making his restless heart more and more chaotic.He couldn't stand what he touched when he stroked his heart.

Qin Shi'ai looked around and saw no one, and finally pushed open the door of the piano room: "You are here. Fanfan is here, and I sent you a message but you didn't reply."

Calling him no, Qin Shi'ai walked in, just in time to see the necklace he threw on the piano.

She wondered, isn't this the one from Gu Jing, when did it end up here?

Before he had time to ask, Shen Qi walked over quickly, picked up the rose next to the necklace and threw it into the trash can.

If it wasn't for his action, Qin Shi'ai would not have noticed the state of the flower at all, it didn't wither naturally, but was crushed artificially.

"Since you don't like it, ask someone not to let it go next time." She glanced at her son.

Shen Qi didn't answer, and twisted his fingertips to breathe calmly: "You just said that Fan Chengrui is here?"

"He came to see you." Qin Shiai nodded, "His father is also here, and he is talking with your father."

"I see." Shen Qi avoided her eyes guiltyly, and held up the phone, "I'll send a message to ask him to come up."

They didn't stay in the piano room anymore. When they left, Qin Shi'ai glanced at the roses in the trash can again, and wanted to say something to Shen Qi, but he ran very fast.

After returning to the room, Shen Qi was still uneasy. He sent a message to Fan Chengrui just now, and accidentally saw a notification from Gu Qingxu, saying that Gu Jing would return to Yangzhou tomorrow.

He clenched his palm tightly, and the phalaenopsis gradually left traces, and the residual rouge juice from his fingertips seeped into it. When he loosened it, he saw an ambiguity, and the red and white were blurred in his eyes.

"Shen Qi—"

Suddenly, Shen Qi closed his palms in shock, and looked back at the intruder: "Fan Chengrui, will you knock on the door?"

"I knocked." Fan Chengrui knocked on the door empty-handedly, "Several times, but you didn't agree."

Shen Qi closed his eyes, stretched his other hand to the bottom to open the drawer, and stuffed the necklace in his hand into it.

"It's my fault for being distracted." Fan Chengrui turned around and closed the door, "I sent you a message to ask if I was home, but you didn't reply, and my cousin came up to find you in person. I'm so arrogant."

Fan Chengrui is what Qin Shiai called "Fanfan". He was born a few hours earlier than Shen Qi, and he is considered Shen Qi's cousin in name.

Even though he was older for just one minute, Shen Qi always called him by his first name. Occasionally, Fan Chengrui wanted to show off his elder brother, but as soon as Shen Qi showed a displeased expression, he would be discouraged.

For example, now, Shen Qi would reply him impatiently: "Are you okay? Get out if you have nothing to do."

Shen Qi is often not polite. There are a lot of relatives in the family, and some brothers and sisters who are far away from each other, he has always been unwilling to talk to him.

But he was educated since he was a child that his family is above everything else. What he has now is never the achievement of one person, but the result of everyone's joint efforts. The way he knows how to repay his kindness is to provoke the burden of the family.

The last person who was educated in this way was Shen Ruhai. Shen Qi always regarded his father as a role model and always wanted to be an excellent person like his father.

For more than ten years, he has never wavered, and he has never felt that the family is a burden, but now, he feels like an overloaded ship, and he will fall into the bottom of the sea if he is not careful.

Fan Chengrui saw his tangled and painful expression: "Are you all right, are you feeling unwell? I'll call the doctor."

"Don't go." Shen Qi waved him over, "Tell me what you came to see me for."

"I told you last time." Fan Chengrui froze suddenly, frowning in distress, "I dare not tell anyone about this, I'm afraid they will tell my mother, in case my mother and father quarrel What should I do when I wake up and want a divorce?"

He was about to cry as he said that, Shen Qi knocked on the table lightly: "I've already said that I will help you, can you put away your tears."

"But you didn't reply a word to the messages I sent these days."

"I have been too busy with exams recently." Shen Qi clicked on the chat history with someone on his phone, and threw it in front of him, "Look, I am helping you. I have already sent someone to find that woman, and I will bring her back later." You go and talk to her in person, and you must not let your mother know, okay."

"What if we can't agree?"

Shen Qi sneered: "Are you stupid? You don't know what she is, don't you know what kind of virtue your father is?"

Fan Chengrui knew that he probably had an idea when he said this, and hurriedly wiped away his tears: "I will follow your advice, everything you say."

Shen Qi laughed again in his heart, listen to me?If you listened to me, why keep this kind of cheating man, he should have thrown it away long ago.Even if the woman who took the initiative to seduce was wrong, your father is not a good thing.

But Shen Qi couldn't say that to Fan Chengrui, all he could do was persuade that woman to leave, and then give Fan Chengrui's father a warning in private.

To put it bluntly, the other party didn't dare to take Joe in front of him before he made a mistake. Now that he made a mistake and was exposed by himself, he would only be even more embarrassed in the future. How dare he talk about elders or not?

Of course, Shen Qi didn't say it so blatantly in front of Fan Chengrui, he just told him to use money to settle that woman first, and then he went to talk to his father.

"Don't worry, after this time, I guarantee that your dad will never dare again." Shen Qi paused and continued, "But you have to think clearly about one thing, even if he can control the people below, what does he think in his heart?" , none of us know."

Fan Chengrui looked at him with red eyes: "Then I..."

"I still suggest that you tell your mother about this matter, preferably after we have settled the matter. Advise her to calm down and think about it. No matter what her decision is, you tell her that our family will never stand with you Dad." Shen Qi felt that he was like a troublesome old mother now, and he sighed when his own troubles had not been resolved, "If you persuade her to give your dad another chance for you, and she I also have this idea, you just ask her to come to me, and I will teach her how to do it."

"If you were me." Fan Chengrui asked hesitantly, "How would you decide?"

Shen Qi raised his eyebrows: "Want to hear the truth?"

"Ah."

"Scumbags are not worth it, I will persuade my mother to divorce."

In fact, Shen Qi knew in his heart that even if he wasted so much, Fan Chengrui couldn't change his mind and talk to his mother about it.It was even more impossible for him to be an outsider. If Fan Chengrui hadn't begged him hard, he wouldn't want to take care of this matter at all.

There was only one person left in the room.

The snow was still falling outside the window. Shen Qi opened the drawer and looked down. The Phalaenopsis inside was still there, but the one in his palm had disappeared.After thinking and thinking, I finally closed the drawer.

At this time, the phone suddenly vibrated twice, and then the ringtone rang. When I clicked on it, it was Gu Qingxu's call.

He breathed a sigh of relief and put it in his ear: "I'm sorry, Auntie, I was talking to someone just now, so I didn't bother to reply to your message."

"It's all right." Gu Qingxu said with a smile, "I made this call because I was afraid that you would fall asleep later, and I wanted to ask in advance. Gu Jing will return to Yangzhou tomorrow. Do you want to play with the past for a few days? Early, I can come back for New Year’s Eve after playing for a few days.”

Shen Qi was silent for a while, and then said to the other side: "I see that your circle of friends often posts some landscape photos. If you go, you can ask Gu Jing to accompany you to the garden of his grandfather's house. It happened to be snowing recently, which is very suitable for you." Take pictures. Our Gu Jing likes to build a snowman there with his younger brother the most. He went back early this year alone, and no one will accompany him. Of course, if you don’t have time or have other things, then we can make an appointment next time.”

When Gu Qingxu said the first half of the sentence, Shen Qi had already thought about how to refuse, but after hearing that she said that Gu Jinghui was alone, he couldn't bear to refuse.

No matter how alienated he was from Gu Jing during this time, he never left Gu Jing alone, provided that the two of them couldn't be alone, he would always bring in a few more people.

"Can I bring a few friends?" He said, "Gu Jing also knows everyone, and it will be more lively when we are together."

Gu Qingxu readily agreed: "Anyway, there are many rooms in the house, and there are people waiting for you to eat and drink, so you won't be hungry."

Shen Qi felt relieved: "Thank you, Auntie."

"Auntie wants to thank you." Gu Qingxu said sincerely, "Thank you for being with Gu Jing. It is difficult for him to get along with anyone, and his personality is not particularly pleasing in the eyes of others. Auntie just hopes that you can always be good and don't quarrel. , if you have something to say, it’s fine.”

Shen Qi couldn't answer these words, he thought in his heart, if Gu Qingxu knew what he thought about Gu Jing, would she still say these words?

He raised his head and looked out the window, he could see the night and snow, but it was only temporary, just like the imprint of Phalaenopsis, which would disappear when the time came.

--------------------

The author has something to say:

Don't think that Shen Qi is a love brain and has nothing to do with his wife, but he is really good at handling others.

His status as the second-generation master is not only thanks to his father's ability to pay money, and his wife's 11cm height difference (except for Gu Jing, no one in this series is below 180), it depends on him focusing on doing things in other people's stories. He almost turned the attack of the next generation into a wifeless sentence (to put it mildly, Lucy deserves it, who told him to be dishonest in business), so don't doubt, once he figured it out, he can solve anything.
