Sheng Yuhang did learn the piano, but as he himself said, he hasn't played it for a long time.

It's like when every parent who had enough money would send their children to various specialty classes and interest classes when they were young - the reason of the Sheng family is more casual, that is, to cultivate their sentiments.

But there are not many people who really learn from it.

Most of them return to the "right way" after mastering an extra little skill superficially, and their focus is occupied by study and work.

Xiao Chuyi's eyes slowly moved down from Sheng Yuhang's face and landed on his hands.

Sheng Yuhang not only has a good-looking face, but also a pair of beautiful hands, with slender fingers and well-defined joints.

The fingertips landed on the keys. It was a little jerky at first, but gradually became smoother, as if dancing in black and white light and shadow.

Xiao Chuyi didn't notice that his expression had softened, reflecting the sunlight outside the window, it also had a gentle arc.

The old man sat quietly not far away, listening with a slight smile, when his corner of the eye fell on Xiao Chuyi's face, he paused suddenly.

Sheng Yuhang remembered that there were not many music scores, but he had a good face and good hands, and with the old man's staccato tones in front of him, it was already a pleasure to look at the handsome figure sitting in front of the piano from a distance.

When the last sound came to an end, Xiao Chuyi still hadn't recovered, and stared blankly at Sheng Yuhang's hand.

"What's wrong?" Sheng Yuhang walked in front of Xiao Chuyi, "Are you uncomfortable?"

Xiao Chuyi's eyes were still following those hands, and he watched them getting closer and closer until...

Paste it on his forehead.

The magnified face in the field of vision and the slightly cool temperature between the foreheads brought Xiao Chuyi back to his senses.

The pupils of the eyes refocused, and saw his dazed face reflected on the lenses and eyes that were close at hand.

It's ugly enough.

Xiao Chuyi twitched the corners of his mouth, and smiled not very sincerely: "It's nothing, it's so touching, people can't help but recall the past."

His fingertips were still on the window sill, and until a moment ago, they were still beating with the sound of the piano.

Sheng Yuhang's eyes slid across his face, and a ridiculous guess suddenly appeared in his heart.

"Can you play the piano?" Sheng Yuhang asked.

The "knowledge" here is of course not to the extent of his half-baked "learned" that can only be used to support the facade.

Sheng Yuhang always felt that Xiao Chuyi's hands were more like those playing the piano, but this was just his feeling for no reason.

In the past, he had never seen Xiao Chuyi mention anything related to the piano, and he had only seen the wounds on his hands after the fight.

At most, it is occasionally seen that the other party will habitually tap something with their fingertips, like some kind of uneasy little movement.

"I just learned a little bit before." Xiao Chuyi smiled and looked away, and prevaricated back with the same reason, "It's just that I haven't touched it for a long time."

What interrupted their conversation was the noise outside the house.

The children were probably awake, and they were raising their voices to call someone. The sound of the door opening came from the door, and more adult voices joined in.

Xiao Chuyi remembered today's topic and came to his senses.

"It should be that Xiao Zhe and the others are back. I heard that his friends are also coming to eat today, so Mr. Xiao will stay and have a light meal together." Ms. Qiu said, "It happens that Xiao Hang hasn't come to eat for a long time, so just treat me as a company This old woman."

Speaking of this, Xiao Chuyi couldn't refute anymore, he turned his head to look at Sheng Yuhang, who smiled and nodded at him.

The previous unfinished topic ended here, and they crossed the past tacitly.

Sheng Yuhang pushed Ms. Qiu out of the door, and Xiao Chuyi followed behind them.

Before going out, Ms. Qiu turned to look at them.

"Don't hold back if you like it. You are still young, and you still have a lot of time to fight for it. Don't be like me. When you get old, you will have no chance to do anything."

Sheng Yuhang and Xiao Chuyi were stunned at the same time, one lowered his head subconsciously, the other turned his face away, obviously before thinking of anything, the body had already reacted first.

The moment the door was opened, there was a gust of cold wind, and Ms. Qiu couldn't help covering her mouth and coughing twice, which caught their attention.

Sheng Yuhang pulled up the thick blanket on the old man's lap.

It wasn't until this time that Xiao Chuyi really realized that the kind and cheerful old man in front of him was really in poor health, and even a gust of wind was unbearable.

He hurriedly turned back and closed the window.

There was a lush green lawn outside the house, but now it is turning yellow and withered because of the early winter.

It is indeed easy to make people sentimental during autumn and winter, and the bleak time is especially obvious.

It was as if yesterday he was a child full of enthusiasm and anticipation for the future, and in a blink of an eye he became a depressed middle-aged uncle.

——Although he has not yet reached the age of "uncle", his mentality is very close to that of the elderly.

Buddha, lazy, lack of enthusiasm, more lack of courage.

How long has he been in this world?

It seemed like only two months, but it seemed like a long, long time.

He has grown so much that he almost thinks that he is born in this world.

but……

A sense of loneliness and isolation still lingers around him like a tarsal maggot.

There is no real home, no place to belong, no one to miss.

Everything seems to be irrelevant, as if separated by a layer of fog, it is still impossible to step on the ground.

He is still essentially out of tune with this world.

Perhaps only time can slowly dispel all these shadows.

Xiao Chuyi thought casually, turned his head, but met Shang Sheng Yuhang's worried eyes.

Just like countless times before, gentle, caring, as if with light.

Some thoughts happen in an instant.

This world is unreal, but that line of sight is real.

The person who looks at himself is also real.

It is no longer just a character mentioned in the "plot", but a living person with emotions and desires, who has shared joy and trouble with himself.

When he lifted his heels up, Xiao Chuyi subconsciously touched his forehead.

It seems that there is still some residual temperature, a little cold, but it is also scorching hot and long-lasting.

Brother Sheng's family came back with Lin Zhe.

In fact, after thinking about it, I know that Lin Zhe's best friends in City B are Brother Sheng and his wife, and there are only a handful of people who can invite him back as guests.

Sheng Jianghe also followed behind the couple, poking around, saying hello to the two girls who just ran out.

Turning his gaze, when he saw Xiao Chuyi, his eyes lit up: "Teacher Xiao!"

A few people over there were greeting each other, and what they said meant that they met Lin Zhe who had gone astray on the way, so they simply came back with him.

Several people turned their eyes when they heard the words, and they were also taken aback when their eyes fell on the other two people in the room.

"That..." Lin Zhe looked at Xiao Chuyi, pondered for a moment, and then called out, "Teacher Zhou——"

"..." Is this person so vengeful?

"...My surname is Xiao." Xiao Chuyi replied with a headache.

A chuckle came from the side.

"Brother Lin doesn't remember other people's names very well." Sheng Yuhang explained, "I often make mistakes, just get used to it."

It's probably because geniuses have some eccentricities. If you think about it optimistically, at least you haven't misidentified his gender, and at least you can still remember his face.

...However, this habit is really hard to get used to.

Xiao Chuyi felt helpless.

After Lin Zhe said hello, he stepped forward to take over Sheng Yuhang's job, and pushed Ms. Qiu into the living room.

The nanny had already closed most of the doors and windows, which raised the temperature in the room, so she wouldn't feel cold in the empty living room.

The care and consideration of this family seems to have penetrated to the bone.

But in the final analysis, it still comes from love, so I care.

"Why is the gap between people so big?" Xiao Chuyi looked at the unrelated family and couldn't help muttering in a low voice.

Sheng Yuhang turned his head to look at him in a daze, but was blocked by a group of children.

After An Ziyue said hello to her grandma, she excitedly ran to Xiao Chuyi, pulled his sleeves and looked up at him, while Cheng Sijia followed behind her.

On the other side, Sheng Jianghe also ran into the door, looking expectantly at Xiao Chuyi.

Sheng Yuhang heard his nephew whisper, "An Ziyue also has a computer at home."

An Ziyue also said, "Mr. Xiao, I can't answer a question, can you teach me?"

Cheng Sijia also stared at him eagerly.

Xiao Chuyi was dragged away by three students, and the nanny was cooking on the other side. Brother Sheng and Lin Zhe chatted with the old man, and the sister-in-law of the Sheng family sat next to Sheng Yuhang.

"Why are you here?" asked the sister-in-law, "Yesterday I asked you to rest at home, and just now on the way your brother asked if he wanted to call you."

After speaking, the sister-in-law looked at the direction where Xiao Chuyi left, and asked clearly: "Is it for Teacher Xiao?"

Sheng Yuhang didn't deny it: "He doesn't know the way, and I happened to have nothing to do, so I sent him here."

The sister-in-law raised one eyebrow: "I've never seen you so enthusiastic about helping others before."

When she met Sheng Yuhang, he was still young, but he already had such an indifferent appearance.

He is gentle and polite, and he will help anyone who encounters difficulties on the road, but this is at best a kind of education, and it will not help to such an exhaustive level.

Sheng Yuhang smiled lightly: "It's just a conscience discovery."

He obviously wanted to avoid this question, but the sister-in-law slowly turned serious.

When we contacted each other on the phone, Sheng Yuhang often mentioned Mr. Xiao who was at the opposite door.

But he was an adult after all, so he wouldn't report all aspects of his life to his brother and sister-in-law, and most of the issues he raised were related to his nephew.

It just so happened that Xiao Chuyi was Sheng Jianghe's head teacher, and coincidentally, he was a neighbor, so it's understandable to mention a few more words. The eldest brother and sister-in-law of the Sheng family were busy with work at that time, so they didn't think much about it.

But after returning, seeing Sheng Yuhang's eyes looking at Xiao Chuyi, the sister-in-law suddenly realized where the sense of disobedience came from.

"Ms. Xiao seems to have a good temper. No wonder you like him." The sister-in-law asked, "How did you know each other?"

Sheng Yuhang frowned slightly, and subconsciously wanted to refute the first half of the sentence, but the sister-in-law spoke frankly, and it was impossible to tell which kind of "like" she was talking about.

On the contrary, my first reaction was to refute, which seemed a bit self-deprecating.

He only paused for a moment, and the sister-in-law blocked him again with the second half of the sentence.

"I ran into him by chance on the road, and I helped a little." Sheng Yuhang recalled the first meeting between the two, "Later, I happened to find out that he was Jianghe's class teacher. At that time, he was looking for a place to live, so I helped a little by the way. busy."

It sounds reasonable, and it's all a relationship piled up by coincidence.

The sister-in-law raised her eyebrows even higher: "It's so easy? And you picked the right door?"

She only believed those words on the surface. If Sheng Yuhang was really just "handy", she would not believe a word.

Sending people to the hospital for first aid, buying a ticket for a poor passer-by to pay for a meal, etc., Sheng Yuhang can do it all.

But it is absolutely unprecedented that he even arranges the residence opposite to his own door so smoothly.

The family members know better how much Sheng Yuhang cares about such illusory things as the private sphere.

Seeing his sister-in-law's rare inquisitive attitude, Sheng Yuhang was a little helpless, but he also knew that his sister-in-law's purpose was definitely not in such superficial gossip.

Besides, there was nothing wrong with the matter between him and Xiao Chuyi, so he simply relaxed his attitude and told the whole story.

"At first I was a little cautious." Sheng Yuhang sighed, "Originally he started a company with a friend, but then we broke up because I had a relationship with another person, so I went to find out about the situation. He is a very good person. Capable people, I just came back, and I actually need reliable people.”

Young master Xiao's family background is not bad, and there is an heir brother above him, so he ran all the way from city A to city B to avoid suspicion.

It is very likely that he will stay in City B in the future.

Moreover, he himself has the ability and potential in professional skills. Judging from the conflict between him and Shen Bixiao, he is also a nostalgic person. If he finds someone, he will hit the south wall before giving up.

This kind of person is very reassuring to get along with. If you can help them, it might not be a useful help.

In addition to Sheng Yuhang, there were many other companies competing for Xiao Chuyi at that time, and they were far more sincere and quicker than Sheng Yuhang.

It's a pity that Xiao Chuyi went to a middle school to become a teacher despite his bright future.

Sheng Yuhang was thoughtful, but not urgent. Seeing the look in Xiao Chuyi's and Shen Bixiao's eyes after they broke up, he didn't expect too much, so he wouldn't be too disappointed.

Of course, he would not let go of a pie that fell from the sky in vain, and he would keep it within his own domain first.

And he didn't have any bad feelings towards Xiao Chuyi himself.

The little nephew's matter is incidental, but it's just a matter of finding a suitable reason, even if that reason seems nonsense.

But when people get along with each other, the source of the reason is not important at all.

"Later, he became Jianghe's head teacher. I met him a few times, but I didn't expect him to be able to control Jianghe."

Sheng Yuhang spread his hands and sighed.

"You also know that I'm sometimes very busy at work. I don't feel at ease leaving Jiang He at home alone. It's also meaningless to call a nanny temporarily. I can't send him to Brother Lin's house every day. He is also alone, door-to-door. Take care. Then..."

What follows is also very clear.

The sister-in-law nodded thoughtfully, and concluded: "So at first you wanted to win him over and ask him to work for you, but in the end you first made friends to get close, and then you got caught up with yourself?"

"..." Sheng Yuhang always felt that there was something wrong with this statement, but it sounded right, so he nodded after struggling for a while, "It's not wrong to say so."

"But, Xiaohang." The sister-in-law straightened her expression and asked seriously, "Do you know how normal friends and neighbors get along?"

Sheng Yuhang gave his sister-in-law a blank look.

"You see, when we were working with Xiaozhe, we lived opposite each other. We have been almost like brothers for so many years."

The sister-in-law pointed to the man chatting with Ms. Qiu on the other side, who looked back at her suspiciously.

"When Xiao Zhe is not working, he is almost like a waste wood. He never uses his brain when he goes out. He often goes the wrong way and admits the wrong person, but we only say hello when we see each other on the road sooner or later. We don't follow everywhere by ourselves, or If he asks us for help, we will go to him, and we will get together for a meal at most once a week."

Lin Zhe, an older child: "..." pierced my heart.

"Because we know that he is an adult, even if he goes to the wrong place, he still has navigation, can take a taxi, ask people for directions, we all have our own lives, there is no need to be tired of being together all the time."

The eldest brother of the Sheng family muttered softly: "Isn't this afraid of disturbing the world of the two of us, otherwise I won't blush when I come to eat every day."

The sister-in-law swept over with a serious look, and Brother Sheng silently closed his mouth.

"Xiaohang, I know that you have been a person with very clear goals and actions since you were a child, so what do you want from Teacher Xiao?"

Sheng Yuhang opened his mouth, but couldn't speak for a while, and suddenly froze when he thought of this question.

Because he found that he couldn't even give an answer.

As my sister-in-law said, apart from his habitual gentleness, he actually has a strong purpose in dealing with people and things.

It's not that he is always getting along with people utilitarianly, but he is very clear about the reasons why he gets along with, makes friends with, cares about, and even loves a certain person.

I bring my little nephew because I am a family member, I am with business partners because long-term cooperation requires a stable relationship, and I am with Lin Zhe’s family because he is a good friend of my eldest brother. The story of their family is also worthy of admiration.

Even the gentleness and kindness towards strangers is due to his own upbringing, because his family education since childhood taught him to maintain a kind heart and be polite and principled in dealing with others.

He has always firmly stepped on this principle, firmly fixed the relationship within the determined module, and rarely had unexpected moments that crossed the line.

This is one of the reasons why he has few close friends.

But this indifferent and stubborn "rule" doesn't always work. When Sheng Yuhang thought of Xiao Chuyi's "accident", he tried to divide him into a range, but found that he had no way to start.

At the beginning, it was sympathy for strangers, and then it was in the mood to win, but after that...

At the beginning, it could be said that the closeness brought by the neighbors, but later on, even the original purpose of "wooing" gradually faded.

If the sister-in-law hadn't brought up this question again, Sheng Yuhang would have almost forgotten that he had such thoughts in the beginning.

The speed of change in the relationship between them was so fast that even Sheng Yuhang couldn't grasp it, let alone control it, as if the wasteland in front of him changed its appearance in the blink of an eye, becoming a flower field full of flowers.

He questioned himself and had to admit that he was not against such a change.

Sheng Yuhang fell silent.

While Sheng Yuhang was reshaping his outlook on life, Xiao Chuyi was playing games in his room.

The three children dragged him to play in the room. At first, An Ziyue really had questions to ask, but Sheng Jianghe habitually dragged the test paper over and brushed it up to solve the questions. Accompanied by detailed problem-solving steps.

The few people who had nothing to do looked at each other for a long time.

Xiao Chuyi was not very familiar with the few people outside, and it happened that he also wanted to chat with Cheng Sijia in private, so he stayed.

Cheng Sijia was not very familiar with An Ziyue's house when she first came here, so she was a little uneasy, and she relaxed a little when she saw Xiao Chuyi.

Xiao Chuyi asked a few questions about the situation, and she answered them one by one. It seemed that there was nothing wrong with it except that she was not used to it. The people in An Ziyue's family had a good temper, and they spoke softly to her.

Cheng Sijia, who thought she would face snub and ridicule, was a little at a loss.

But in the end it's a good thing.

When the chat here was over, Sheng Jianghe had been whispering to An Ziyue for a long time, then he turned around and dragged Xiao Chuyi to the computer and sat down.

Then, watch him play games.

Xiao Chuyi: "..."

In fact, it's not that Xiao Chuyi suddenly became interested in games, but there is a recidivist Internet-addicted teenager in the class, no matter how much he chats or pours chicken soup, he remains indifferent.

You can't threaten with force, or the mother who spoils her son too much will go to school to fight him desperately.

In desperation, Xiao Chuyi felt that Sheng Jianghe's proposal was good.

Since the conventional methods are useless, we can only use the best medicine and start from other aspects to try to solve the root problem.

In short, it made him retreat, which frustrated his self-confidence and cast a psychological shadow on the game.

Since Sheng Jianghe's humiliating defeat by Yan Yuran's subordinates, he has been working hard to get rid of his humiliation, but unfortunately he was taken home by his parents before he succeeded.

He didn't dare to make a mistake in front of his own parents, so he could only count on Mr. Xiao to help him avenge him.

"Don't worry, Teacher Xiao, I've already locked the door!" An Ziyue looked excited, and stared at Xiao Chuyi with her face cupped, trying to maintain a serious expression, but failed, "Let's hurry up and save the lost boy! "

"Ms. Xiao, don't worry. I just asked about it. Yan Yuran's mother has something to go out today, and he is still squatting in the Internet cafe." Sheng Jianghe lay on the table, staring at the computer screen eagerly, "Hurry up and beat him up!" he!"

Under the cheers and cheers of the two children, Xiao Chuyi started the game slowly, typing on the keyboard at an outrageously low rhythm.

Just like his people, he played the game too quietly, with a lazy feeling, without any passion.

But as an adult, with the experience of being addicted to games, after Xiao Chuyi groped for a while, it was no problem to hang and beat a child.

Sheng Jianghe looked at it for a while, then curled his lips in boredom, and couldn't help complaining: "Why do you play games like a retired old man?"

At the end of the round, Xiao Chuyi knocked on Sheng Jianghe's forehead, and said earnestly, "Do you know why turtles live so long?"

An Ziyue raised her hand to answer: "I know! Because the tortoise won't be blind all the time!"

The puffer fish version Sheng Jianghe glared at An Ziyue angrily: "You are the only one with a lot of nonsense!"

"Stop talking nonsense, you are blocking me from seeing Teacher Xiao's heroic game playing." An Ziyue pushed Sheng Jianghe's face aside, looked up at Xiao Chuyi and began to brag, "Mr. Xiao is too good, You know everything, even playing games so well, I want to learn from you!"

Sheng Jianghe was very angry, Sheng Jianghe was very depressed, but Sheng Jianghe was speechless.

"I still want to learn to fight!" Sheng Jianghe stared at Xiao Chuyi with puffy cheeks.

"... You don't need to learn to play games and fights." The corner of Xiao Chuyi's mouth twitched, "Just study hard and improve every day."

I always feel like I'm setting a bad example.

My conscience hurts a little.

Xiao Chuyi felt a slight headache for a long time.

At meal time, the whole family reunited.

As the only "outsider", Xiao Chuyi sat down next to Cheng Sijia who was still a little uneasy, and then Sheng Yuhang took a seat on the other side of him.

Brother Sheng saw this and was about to call his younger brother when his wife pinched the soft flesh on his waist. He silently closed his mouth, moved a seat to the side, and gave up his seat to his wife.

Sheng Yuhang turned sideways, lowered his voice and asked, "Did you enjoy the game?"

Xiao Chuyi gave him a sideways glance with some pain: "Hand hurts."

Children nowadays are really energetic, and they are not afraid of hand cramps after playing games for such a long time.

"Losing?"

"No. It's just a kid playing games without a brain. It's quite easy to hang and beat."

"It's amazing." Sheng Yuhang boasted to save face.

"It's not great, it's mainly the food on the opposite side." Xiao Chuyi thought for a while, feeling a little ashamed, "It's just bullying children, but luckily he's cooking."

"If you don't eat, what are you going to do?"

"That's easy, I can write cheats."

"..." Sheng Yuhang couldn't help laughing, "Ms. Xiao is really versatile."

They spoke in a low voice and couldn't hear the content clearly, but they could tell from their expressions that they were in a good mood.

The elder brother of the Sheng family couldn't help but glanced at his younger brother several times, and while fidgeting, his wife knocked him twice to signal him to calm down.

Sheng Yuhang noticed the movement of the eldest brother and sister-in-law next to him, and he had a smile on his face as always, making it difficult to distinguish emotions.

The communication between the two was interrupted by the ringing of the phone.

The sudden ringing of the bell could be heard by the whole table, and they turned their eyes to the source of the sound.

Xiao Chuyi was slightly taken aback, and quickly muted the phone, while looking down at the screen.

The name on the caller ID was "Zhou Xiao", and there were several text messages immediately before the call, the top one said that he was coming to play with him.

Zhou Xiao persevered, hung up halfway through a phone call, and then called again.

Xiao Chuyi was a little helpless, so he could only say hello and get up to answer the phone outside.

"Is there something urgent?" Sheng Yuhang asked.

"I don't know, a friend in City A said he wanted to come to see me." Xiao Chuyi replied casually, "Maybe there is something urgent to do."

Since breaking up with Shen Bixiao, Xiao Chuyi and Zhou Xiao have not lost contact, but their lives have been relatively stable in recent days, and the frequency of contact has become less.

Occasionally, when Zhou Xiao called, it wasn't all related to City A, and he even cared about Xiao Chuyi's situation.

This made Xiao Chuyi a little surprised, but he did not object.

Zhou Xiaoren is silly and loves to play. He seems a little unreliable, but he is very affectionate and loyal.

Xiao Chuyi didn't dislike such a person, and in addition to asking him for help, his attitude towards him was much softer than that of the original owner, and the relationship became closer every time.

Xiao Chuyi walked to the door before answering the phone, deliberately lowered his voice, he couldn't hear clearly through a door, and could only discern some gentle meaning.

Half of his side face was reflected in the corner of the glass window, and after a moment of daze, his expression softened, looking a little gentle.

Or maybe it was just the golden sunlight outside the house, casting a layer of soft light and shadow on his face.

Sheng Yuhang froze for a moment, turned his head to look, and didn't recover for a long time.

Until the sister-in-law sitting next to him pushed his arm, signaling him to come back to his senses.

"If you like it, go after it." The sister-in-law lowered her voice and said, "It's so uncomfortable just looking at it, isn't it?"

She didn't expect to get Sheng Yuhang's answer, just like the previous topic between them was over.

Emotionally speaking, Sheng Yuhang is an overly restrained person, which is not a bad thing, but sometimes it can cause headaches.

After leaving this sentence, the sister-in-law turned back and warned her son not to be picky eaters.

The dinner table was bustling again, out of tune with the light outside the house and the bleak withered lawn.

It was only when that person pushed the door open again that Sheng Yuhang slowly withdrew his gaze, lowered his eyebrows, and responded softly.

"Ah."

The author has something to say: Little Theater:

Sister-in-law: The one who cooks for you every day is either a nanny or a girlfriend. Which one do you think Mr. Xiao is?

Mr. Sheng: ... [Meditation.jpg]

Teacher Xiao: Can’t it be father and son?
