Su Shi put down his phone, and Liang Xuanyi pushed the door open and walked in.
He held a familiar mug in his hand, and the steam floated up, vaguely blurring the handsome and profound eyebrows, making the whole person look much softer.
When their eyes met, Liang Xuanyi's brows became softer, he put down his cup and hugged his shoulders, lowered his head and kissed him lightly, with the mellow aroma of hot cocoa.
I drank it again.
With their chests and shoulders hugging each other, Su Shi couldn't help but smile, closed his eyes and raised his head to meet his kiss.
He is really happy.
"You're exhausted today, you should take a good rest."
With a deep and warm voice falling steadily to his heart, Liang Xuanyi also went to bed, and told him to rest his head on his shoulders, with his palms gently covering the top of his hair: "Are you happy?"
"very happy."
With a real light in his eyes, Su Shi relaxed and shook his head with a smile: "I never thought that you would sing so well when you sing seriously."
"No, I'm the most serious when I sing to you."
The tail of the hair brushed against the cheek, and the intimate touch made Liang Xuanyi's heart tremble, he grabbed his hand with a smile, and corrected him solemnly.
Su Shi was dumbfounded, and nodded with a smile: "Okay, then please ask Singer Liang to sing again, I'm just tired..."
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he himself was startled, and his heart suddenly became empty.
Liang Xuanyi didn't seem to notice his negligence, and there was still a gentle smile in his eyes, and he kissed him softly on the forehead: "Okay."
The mellow aroma of hot cocoa spread in the air, the embrace behind her was warm and firm, the soft voice rang in the ears, and the sound of bubbles made people so crisp from the bottom of their hearts that they could hardly breathe.
So all the emotions that had nowhere to rest were gathered together, Su Shi closed his eyes, completely handed himself over to the shoulders, neck, and arms behind him, and sleepiness came up quietly.
Liang Xuanyi held him firmly all the time, humming the familiar lyrics softly, his eyes fell on the hot cocoa that had never been touched, and the light gradually dimmed.
For the first time, Gong Zhengyu told him that he was tired.
How can I not be tired, not only have to run around the hospital and home, but also repeatedly modify the arrangement and accompaniment of these songs for him. There are some parts of the song that the other party can't hear clearly. Gong Zhengyu would rather lie beside the piano to distinguish those scales over and over again, rather than easily let go of even a single flaw in the details.
He always wanted to persuade, but every time he met those eyes, he could only swallow everything back.
The gentle and steady beating of the fingertips covering the wrist finally reassured him a little. The person in his arms was already fast asleep, with long eyelashes docilely lying on his eyelids, curled up in his arms, as if he was completely defenseless against the whole world.
Carefully taking off the hearing aid for him, and putting him back into his arms, Liang Xuanyi hugged him and lay down, tightening his arms slightly.
In the following days, it seemed to become regular and stable again.
Shen Fei was out of danger and was successfully transferred to the general ward. Under Gong Zhengyu's patient guidance, the boy gradually opened his closed heart, and got along more and more harmoniously with the medical staff. After another week of stability, I can almost be discharged from the hospital.
Liang Xuanyi's competition was also smooth sailing. "Flying Bird" won the first place on the new song list in one fell swoop, and the subsequent two songs "Drifting" and "I Heard" also received rave reviews, and won the ticket to the final without any suspense.
The court re-judged based on the evidence, and ruled that the plagiarism was not established. He Yuanwei quickly became the accusation of everyone and quickly fell silent. The pure version of the piano music released by "Superstar" took advantage of the trend and quickly became popular on the Internet. Gong Zhengyu's Weibo followers skyrocketed by more than 100,000, and almost all the comments below were eagerly looking forward to the reopening of the psychological clinic.
Su Shi laughed helplessly, and put the phone in his pocket.
Everything seemed to be improving obviously, and the chill in my heart seemed to be quietly disappearing. Although his "Shimmer" has been written, it always seems that something is missing.
If this momentum continues, perhaps Liang Xuanyi will only be able to make it to the final with another song.
"Are you ready? It's cold today, so you need to wear more clothes."
Liang Xuanyi had just started the car, and walked quickly through the door with the winter chill still on his body. When he saw Su, he was only wearing a windbreaker, he smiled and instructed in a gentle voice, and took off the scarf to put it on for him.
"The little guy didn't see you yesterday, but his face was full of displeasure, saying that you must go today, and he still has a gift for you."
It snowed yesterday, and Su Shi had a low fever, so Liang Xuanyi didn't ask him to go out, and went to see Shen Fei for him. It was agreed that the two of them would go there together today, and they didn't know what gift the child was going to give each other, but they covered it so tightly that they didn't even allow themselves to see it.
"I also said that he has been mysterious these days, so he was thinking about this matter."
Su Shi was slightly surprised, raised his eyebrows, and had a vague expectation in his heart: "Then should I buy him something too? I don't know what children like nowadays..."
"It's the best gift for him that you can be well. I heard that you were not feeling well yesterday. If the doctor hadn't stopped him, he would have almost ran back with me."
Smiling and holding the other's hand, Liang Xuanyi straightened the scarf for him, lowered his head slightly, and kissed his dear's forehead: "Would you like to eat outside this afternoon? The owner of that store is looking forward to your visit every day, so I will give you a hand." I've texted a few times."
"Alright, I'll ask the doctor, if I can bring Shen Fei out, I can ask that child to go with me."
The car had already started, and the air conditioner dispelled the original chill. He led Su Shi into the seat, and his body immediately became much warmer.
Ever since the two of them got together, Liang Xuanyi gave the driver a holiday and insisted on taking Gong Zhengyu on the trip by himself. Finally, there were fewer humanoid light bulbs dangling around.
It's a pity that Gong Zhengyu has been working too hard recently, spending more time catching up on sleep in the car and less time waking up. Just looking at the tired look hidden in the eyes of the other party, Liang Xuanyi couldn't bear to make him work hard, so he never cooperated silently, and never disturbed that person's rare rest time.
All the way to the hospital, the two of them couldn't see Shen Fei.
"He was taken away by his parents?"
After listening to the nurse's explanation, Liang Xuanyi frowned, his expression darkened: "He was beaten like that by his parents, so it doesn't matter if he just returns it to his parents?"
"It is indeed the biological parents, and we have no right to detain the child."
The doctor said in a low voice, with a helpless and complicated look on his face: "At that time, I was just anxious to save the child, no one thought of calling the police, and now we can't find any evidence. We called the police this time, but his parents expressed regret, saying Will definitely treat the children well…”
Liang Xuanyi's eyes became more and more gloomy, looking at the dazed look in those black eyes, he felt more and more uneasy, and put his palm on his back comfortingly: "Don't worry, Zheng Yu, let's contact Shen Fei first, and ask about the situation before we talk about it." .”
After being stunned, he understood what he meant, Gong Zhengyu nodded, and tried to dial the phone, but no one answered.
The guardian's phone number will be recorded in the medical records. Since Shen Fei's parents forcibly took the child out of the hospital, they must have left their contact information. Liang Xuanyi signaled the doctor to go to the office and said that he was about to ask Gong Zhengyu for instructions, but he was suddenly tightly grasped by the wrist.
"You have to find them. Regrets and guarantees are useless. There are only zero and countless times of domestic violence. As long as there is a reason, his parents will beat him..."
Holding my own hand to cool off, because of the force, the fingertips have even turned white.
Liang Xuanyi nodded, held that hand instead, pulled him into his arms, and ran along his back comfortingly: "I know, we'll find a way to find him right now. Don't worry, he'll be fine. "
Gong Zhengyu was worried about whether the child would continue to be beaten, but he was worried far more than that.
He has already lost a complete mess. This time, He Yuanwei not only lost his reputation, but also left fans who had accumulated for many years because of his behavior of throwing blame. Coupled with the charges of plagiarism and fraud, there will be no chance of a comeback in this life.
He Yuanwei is arrogant and has almost no bottom line, just look at the methods he used to embarrass Gong Zhengyu a few times to get an idea. But this time, even though he was planted so hard, there was no movement at all. He already felt that something was wrong.
Even my father's contacts have been used, but no unusual movements have been found. Now it seems that maybe I have completely misunderstood the direction.
From the very beginning, He Yuanwei had no intention of retaliating according to the rules of the entertainment industry.
The two were busy all afternoon, then went to the police station, followed the registered address to find it, but only found an empty house that no one lived in. Until the sky completely darkened, they couldn't find Shen Fei's whereabouts.
"Zhengyu, it's already dark, you're not in good health, we'll look for it tomorrow, we'll definitely find it."
Holding back the person who was about to go out, Liang Xuanyi tried his best to slow down his voice, and hugged his frozen body into his arms: "It's okay, don't worry, let's go home first and rest for a night, okay?"
Trying his best to organize comforting words, feeling the body in his arms gradually relax, Liang Xuanyi breathed a sigh of relief, and led Gong Zhengyu back to the car.
Liang Xuanyi's delicate face was already pale from the cold, Liang Xuanyi frowned, turned on the warm air a bit more, hugged him into his arms again, and raised his hand to gently rub his hair: "It will be fine, Zheng Yu , so many things have changed for the better, this one will be fine..."
"I want to go back to the clinic..."
Gong Zhengyu finally made a sound, and raised his clear black eyes, showing a vague apology: "I'm sorry, I'm afraid he will run back to find me, I—"
"Okay, let's go back to the clinic."
The explanation was interrupted by a soft voice, Liang Xuanyi looked at him patiently, stroked the short hair on the back of his head: "Go back to the clinic first today, and let's figure out a way to find him tomorrow, okay? "
Facing the quiet light in those pitch-black pupils, Gong Zhengyu's mood gradually stabilized, nodded, and held his hand instead: "Thank you—"
Before the words of thanks came out, they were sealed with a gentle kiss.
The warm breath was withdrawn in an instant, and seeing his face showing a faint blush again, Liang Xuanyi finally felt relieved, and led him back to the clinic.
Gong Zhengyu's clinic was not conspicuous, Liang Xuanyi took his hand into the door, raised his hand to turn on the light, a little surprise flashed in his eyes.
The interior layout is very warm, the walls are beige velvet walls, the floor is also covered with carpets of the same color, and an ordinary white upright piano is placed in the corner. Warm light enveloped the furniture in the house, and the comfortable sofa bed made people want to lie down on it.
Returning to his familiar place, Gong Zhengyu seemed to relax a little. Turned on the air conditioner, walked to the piano bench, picked up a cloth towel to wipe off the fallen dust, and stroked the slightly old paint color with fingertips.
"Zheng Yu, you rest for a while, I will guard."
Liang Xuanyi walked over, held his wrist, and led him to sit down beside the sofa bed: "You are too nervous, relax. You taught him that he can escape when he is beaten, he will remember, as long as he If I escape, I will definitely come to you first, right?"
The light in the black eyes flashed, and he nodded following his voice. Liang Xuanyi also showed a soft and patient smile, kissed his forehead, hugged him and lay down, pulled the blanket over for him to cover him, and continued to comfort him patiently.
"What you have to do now is to rest well and recharge your spirits. If we find him tomorrow, but you are too tired to stand up, you will worry the little guy again."
Gong Zhengyu lay down obediently, Liang Xuanyi did not let go of his hand, and still sat sideways on the edge of the sofa bed, brushing the broken hair behind his ears for him.
"It's the first time—"
In the silence, Gong Zhengyu spoke softly, as if startled by his own voice. Pausing for a moment, he met Liang Xuanyi's concerned gaze, and his brows and eyes were once again drawn into gentle arcs: "It's the first time that I'm lying on this sofa by myself..."
Liang Xuanyi curled his lips and stroked his hair: "Now you are responsible for closing your eyes, and I will be responsible for playing the piano. Let's see if I have this talent, okay?"
Under the light, those gentle black eyes seemed to light up again, and the brows and eyes curved softly again, and she nodded slightly.
With a smile in his eyes, Liang Xuanyi leaned over and kissed him, and covered him tightly with the blanket before getting up and sitting in front of the piano.
It can be seen that the piano is a bit old, but it has been maintained very well, and the sound of the piano is still pleasant and clear. Liang Xuanyi tried to press a few notes, and played the song that he had heard countless times smoothly.
He has been learning the piano since he could walk. He has played the piano for more than 20 years. He is also very talented. He can also integrate full emotions into the music, but he always feels that there is something less than what Gong Zhengyu played himself. content.
It's not just him. After the pure version of this song came out, the score was quickly picked up on the Internet. But no matter how many people tried to play, they all gave up completely in the end, admitting that they couldn't play the artistic conception that the original song should have. Even many famous pianists tried, but they were still not satisfactory.
It is precisely because the melody of the original song is too simple, so the change of rhythm and the jump of notes will have a strong personal style. Gong Zhengyu's talent lies in his ability to easily use these details to create a real picture for the audience as if they were on the scene.
The heart that can play such a tune is undoubtedly extremely sensitive. It can clearly feel the beauty of every place that is easily overlooked, and it can also truly feel the harm caused by the outside world.
In the middle of the song, someone knocked on the door suddenly.
Liang Xuanyi got up suddenly, but Gong Zhengyu's reaction was faster than him. He jumped up from the sofa, ran over quickly, and pulled the door open.
Standing at the door was a man in formal attire.
"Gong-Zheng Yu?"
The man carefully distinguished for a while before he read the name on it, handed him the document in his hand, and said straightly: "You have been prosecuted for luring, abducting and trafficking children, and committing sexual abuse against children. The court will start at 9:00 a.m. next Monday. summons."
Liang Xuanyi's complexion changed suddenly, and he rushed over quickly, but Gong Zhengyu was still standing at the door, his eyes were dazed as if he didn't hear clearly, and his voice was so light that he blew away: "I-what?"
"It's just a lawsuit, and the court will judge according to the facts... Remember to find a better lawyer."
The visitor glanced at him, and his expression showed some sympathy beyond his duties. He whispered a word of advice, then turned and left in a hurry.
The ear was suddenly quiet as if he had lost all voices. Gong Zhengyu held the document in a daze, and lowered his head to take a closer look, but was snatched away by Liang Xuanyi, who held his shoulders with both hands: "Zheng Yu , look at me, this is He Yuanwei taking revenge on you, listen to me—"
He could clearly see that person talking anxiously, but there was still nothing in his ears. Gong Zhengyu tried his best to move the corners of his mouth, trying to tell the other party not to worry about him, but every corner of his body was so tired that he completely lost strength.
Don't want to move, don't want to talk, don't want to laugh.
His body was forcefully hugged into the embrace in front of him, but he was still shivering uncontrollably from the cold, and his eye sockets were so dry that they were almost astringent.
…
I don't know how long it took before the senses gradually returned to their place.
He found that he had been supported to sit down, his hands were tightly clenched, and it hurt a little, and the embrace behind him was tightly stretched. The arms want to exert strength, but they are afraid that it will make him uncomfortable, so they hold his body stiffly so that he will not slip down.
It's just a task.
His heart was icy cold, and his soul, which was almost controlled by a strange will, still seemed to be in lingering fear. Su Shi blinked his eyes, letting his consciousness return to its original position.
This is just his mission, he still needs to complete "Shimmer", rescue that child, and let Liang Xuanyi win the championship.
There is not even a remaining will in this body, it is just a hidden danger that is always dormant in the bottom of my heart. He doesn't belong here, as long as he completes the task, he can leave.
It's not that difficult.
The stiff face relaxed again, and his expression became gentle and calm again, returning himself to the most familiar state, everything seemed not as difficult as imagined.
Sensing his change, Liang Xuanyi moved, held his breath and looked at him, with well-disguised worry hidden in his eyes.
Su Shi frowned slightly, and held his hand back: "I'm worrying you, I'm fine."
Liang Xuanyi's hand trembled violently, but his face was still gentle, he stroked his short hair gently, his voice faintly astringent.
"This is He Yuanwei's revenge. He wants to ruin your reputation, but believe me, no one will believe him this time. The doctors in the hospital know what's going on, and the medical records are there. I'll go there at dawn Find someone, we have enough witnesses, he would rather die than bite you back, we don't have to be afraid of him... "
"I know, I'm not afraid of him."
The young man's expression was still the same gentle and gentle, he repeated his words softly, and then stopped talking again.
If it's just a stranger, or a general friend, maybe you won't see anything wrong with him at all. Liang Xuanyi's heart was already crazily uneasy, but he still tried his best to suppress it, but he held him lightly and cautiously, and asked those eyes to look at him: "Zheng Yu, are you okay?"
Gong Zhengyu lowered his brows and eyes gently, nodded slightly, raised his arms around him, and rested his head on his neck.
His eyes were inexplicably hot, Liang Xuanyi lowered his head slightly, kissed his cheek lightly, kissed the corner of his upper lip, held his hand to make him stand up, and sat in front of the piano: "Zheng Yu, let's play the piano, shall we play?"
It took a while to understand what he meant, the young man nodded meekly, raised his hand and landed on the keys, but did not press down.
Liang Xuanyi almost held his breath, intense unwillingness and pain filled his heart. He raised his hand to lightly cover the back of his hand, and with a little force, the piano made a clear sound.
That hand trembled suddenly, as if startled by the sound, it suddenly retracted, and the body couldn't stop trembling slightly.
The water vapor quickly blurred his vision, and his throat was as hot as magma. Liang Xuanyi hugged him tightly, and his voice finally choked up uncontrollably: "It's okay, Zheng Yu, you trust me, it's okay. Everything will be better, evil people will have retribution, and the truth will be known by everyone." Know… "
Tears slid down his cheeks and dripped on the back of his hands, causing some fluctuations in his calm and gentle black eyes. He suddenly raised his hand and wiped the water on his face.
"I know, I trust you, you've always been the best at this."
Gong Zhengyu looked at him, and smiled lightly again, his eyes finally soaked in some real helpless warmth, closed his eyes and leaned on his shoulder.
"I'm just wondering...Whether Shen Fei will testify in court."
He put this sentence very lightly, but Liang Xuanyi still heard it clearly, his heart shrank suddenly, but he said in a firm and gentle voice: "No, he will definitely not agree to testify. He is a very grateful child, He knows that you are good to him, and he will give you a gift, don't you remember?"
Blinking his eyes and looking at him, Gong Zhengyu was silent for a while before nodding slightly, and smiled helplessly: "I thought if I could see him, I could ask him if his injury was healed..."
Liang Xuanyi was silent for a while, and tightened his arms tightly.
Shen Fei's parents didn't come early or late, but took advantage of the finals to take the child away, obviously to make the child appear in court to testify at that time.
The temptation of money, the years of prestige accumulated by his parents, the fear of being beaten if he doesn't tell a lie - in fact, he can't guarantee whether Shen Fei will appear in court, and if he does, what he will say.
Su Shi quietly leaned into his arms for a while, then suddenly opened his eyes, and gently pushed him away.
Liang Xuanyi was startled, and suddenly understood what he meant, he quickly got up and backed away, watching the young man touch the keys again.
The strength is gentle, as if touching a companion who will never betray.
Unfamiliar tunes dripped from the black and white keys, still warm, so warm that people couldn't stop crying. As if trekking through thorns all the way, the wounds have spread all over the body, and then finally rested and calmed down.
The interlude rotates and the tune reciprocates.
Liang Xuanyi held his breath, his body felt tense, and he stared in astonishment at the young man who was still sitting in front of the piano and playing.
It's not a tune, it's a song.
The second time, the third time, no matter how beautiful the melody is, it will be boring to hear it repeated, but the young man seemed to be unaware of it, playing it repeatedly, layer by layer, and suddenly hit the chord heavily with his left hand root note.
Like a roar erupting in a predicament, the tune suddenly changed violently. Struggling in the dark, shouting in silence, desperate running in the storm, rampaging, bruised and bruised.
The body sitting in front of the piano was already trembling, Liang Xuanyi instinctively wanted to rush over, and wanted to tell him not to play anymore, but he was ruthlessly held back by reason and stayed where he was.
The fluttering treble gradually stopped, as if finally completely vented all the despair, all the hesitation, all the injustices and injuries suffered. Exhausted and scarred, he knelt down on the edge of darkness, finally unable to take a step forward.
Then the morning sun gradually came out, casting a ray of light, gently kissing the bloody wound.
In the dark, there is a glimmer of light in my heart.
The lingering sound faded away.
Gong Zhengyu's face was pale, and his clothes were already drenched in sweat. Before he even had time to look at Liang Xuanyi, his body had already collapsed weakly, hitting the piano keys heavily.
There was a loud bang, and Liang Xuanyi rushed over, hugging him into his arms.
Looking at the dripping tears on that face, my chest was empty, and my heart finally fell straight down.
