"You came here in the morning. The girl is very pretty and carries a big suitcase. She lives in room 201 on the second floor..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Mu Tianye rushed up the stairs and knocked heavily on the door of 201.
"Stop knocking!" The old lady slowly came forward with the key chain, "She was not at home. She put down her things and went out..."
"Where is she going?"
"It seems like I'm going to class. I'm old and I didn't hear it very clearly."
Mu Tianye turned around and rushed out the door, not forgetting to give orders to Zhou Tao.
"You stay here and call me immediately if she comes back!"
Zhou Tao stopped and looked at the driver.
The driver released his speed and chased out, then returned to the car. Mu Tianye immediately gave the order.
"Go to Qilin Building!"
Before you know it, the afternoon has passed quietly and it has entered the evening rush hour after get off work.
When the car was still three or four kilometers away from the Qilin Building, it was once again trapped by the crowded traffic. It could only move forward like a snail little by little, following the squirming traffic.
Looking away from the car window for the nth time, Mu Tianye finally couldn't hold back anymore and pulled off his seat belt.
"I'll walk there, you can follow me!"
Before the driver could stop the car, he had already opened the door and jumped out of the car. He slammed the door and squeezed through the gap between the cars. He climbed over the guardrail and crossed the bicycle lane. He ran at full speed in the direction of the Qilin Building.
…
…
Rehearsal room.
A staff member of the organizing committee opened the door and walked in. When he saw Ning Xiaofei sitting in a corner of the rehearsal room with her guitar in her arms, he stopped and turned off the lights in confusion.
"Student, why haven't you left yet?"
"I'm sorry!" Ning Xiaofei stood up holding Qin in her arms, "I live in an inconvenient place, can I practice piano here for a while? I promise to lock the door for you."
The staff smiled and nodded, reminded her not to forget to turn off the lights, and then left.
Sitting back down, Ning Xiaofei adjusted the strings and gently plucked the strings with her fingers.
"You once said my heart is like a glass
Pure and transparent as water
Even if it's full of heartbreak
I can spill it easily and pretend it doesn’t matter.
…
No matter how carefree and beautiful your smile is,
If your heart is broken, what can you use to compensate
…”
She had chosen this song before just because the chords of the song were relatively simple and she was familiar with it. Now when she sang these sad lyrics, the past between her and Mu Tianye emerged unknowingly before her eyes.
in the corridor.
Mu Tianye walked out of the elevator panting, looked around, noticed the lights here and immediately strode over.
In my ears, there was heavy breathing and faint singing. A girl was singing.
He stopped in the corridor, listened for a moment, and immediately determined the source of the sound. He took a few steps back and gently opened the ajar door of the rehearsal room.
Under the light, Ning Xiaofei sat cross-legged on the floor, holding an acoustic guitar in her hand.
She plucked the strings with concentration, her face slightly lowered and staring at the strings. Her voice was clean and clear, but it was heartbreaking to hear.
"The light and delicate glass
Always too easy to break
If you can hold tears, you can't hold charm
Who annihilated whom
Who can understand
…”
Tears overflowed from his eyes, flowed down his cheeks, and silently hit the guitar top, breaking into several pieces.
She took a deep breath. She was choked with sobs and could not sing the lyrics. She raised her hands to cover her face and sobbed.
Mu Tianye's heart suddenly tightened at the door, as if it was being held tightly by a cold, prickly hand.
It hurts.
Speeding up, Mu Tianye strode to her.
