Fu Shenxing was in the office, gently rubbing the screen of the phone with a picture of the girl on it.
His expression was gentle and focused, until an abrupt bell broke the silence and made him sober.
He answered the phone and gave a faint "hello".
"Careful, Xiao Nuo has decided to go abroad, and he will leave in two days. You will go home today. Let's have a meal with our family?"
Go abroad...
Fu Shenxing sighed, then the corners of his lips curled up and smiled self-deprecatingly.
Also, in this case, would she still stay without embarrassment? This is not her style.
From small to large, facing unsolvable problems, she had only one choice-escape.
"Okay, I will be there."
…
At the moment when he learned that Fu Shenxing would be back in the evening, Rong Xiaonuo just wanted to find a place to hide himself.
If she knew in advance, she would definitely prevent her from calling him.
But what happened between them, she didn't want her parents to see the clues.
Tonight... is destined to be a torment.
"Uncle... will he bring someone here?"
Fu Nuan was startled, and then smiled: "I didn't listen to him, maybe not. Xiao Nuo, you were so unhappy that day, was it because Shen Xing took the girl home?"
"No... No!"
Rong Xiaonuo eagerly defended. This is the end of the matter, and she doesn't want their inexplicable relationship to be known to her parents.
"What are you doing in such a hurry? I just want to say that you and Shenxing grew up together and have a deep relationship. It's normal that you can't accept it for a while. But you have to try to get used to it. After all, you..."
"Mom, I know."
Before Fu Nuan finished speaking, she interrupted her: "I want to go to the piano room to practice piano for a while, and call me when I have dinner."
"it is good."
…
Rong Xiaonuo went to the piano room and touched the piano again, her mood was a bit complicated.
Since she was preparing for the economics department of Luda in her third year of high school, she rarely touched the piano again. If it weren't for this time, she would have forgotten that her dream was to become a pianist.
At that time, in order to be able to be in a school with her uncle, she almost gave up all her hobbies and spent three months on studying and writing questions and exams. She almost couldn't remember what she should be like.
She opened the piano cover, and gently pressed a white key with her fingertips, and the clear and sweet music sounded, giving her the feeling of hitting the soul directly.
"My good partner, I'm back."
She smiled and sat down at the piano, smoothly finishing a Liszt song, which was the most impressive one in her memory.
She remembered that her parents didn't have time to go to the scene at the piano competition, and the younger uncle also said that she was going to class and could not go to the scene.
But later, she saw him in the crowd, and he smiled and encouraged her.
It was precisely because of him that she was not afraid of anything and won the gold medal smoothly.
That day, it was the first time that she had eaten the dishes he cooked, but he didn't even admit it, saying that it was made by a domestic servant.
Later, the servant still said that she missed her mouth, and she knew it.
Such a beautiful day... It's too extravagant.
Maybe God thought she was too lucky and wanted to take all this back. From now on, thinking about it as before is just an extravagant hope.
She played tirelessly, one after another, as if only in this way could she temporarily forget the sadness.
A string of notes flowed out, either high-pitched and agitated, or low-pitched, lingering in the villa for a long time.
…
When Fu Shen walked, he didn't see Rong Xiaonuo, but he resisted not asking her whereabouts.
"Xiao Nuo is practicing in the piano room. Since you are back, let's have dinner, I will go up and call her."
Fu Shenxing demonstrably stopped Fu Nuan who was about to go upstairs.
"Sister, I'll call her."
Fu Nuan nodded, she thought, the two children should have something to say, after all, they grew up together and never separated.
He walked upstairs slowly, knocked on the door of the piano room, and no one responded.
A strange thought came to his mind, would she be...
Thinking of this, Fu Shenxing hurriedly opened the door, and he was relieved to see Rong Xiaonuo's upper body lying on the piano, his chest still rising and falling slightly.
He didn't know why he thought of committing suicide, but seeing her now, at least he wouldn't hurt himself, so he could rest assured.
He moved extremely lightly to her side and squatted down, staring silently at her sleeping face, and raised his hand to remove a strand of hair from her forehead.
Before touching it, she opened her eyes suddenly.
"Uncle?"
As soon as she woke up, she saw him in front of her eyes. For a while, she was a little confused whether she was dreaming or real.
Fu Shenxing suppressed the different colors in her eyes, and slowly stood up, completely different from the tenderness she had shown when she fell asleep just now, with a touch of indifference and alienation.
"you… "
She has a lot of things to ask him, she can not ask him about Lin Qinghan, or why she suddenly treats her like this, she just wants to know, in these days when they didn’t meet each other, did he think about her, Even for a moment.
But his indifference blocked her throat.
"I'm here to tell you to go downstairs to eat for my sister."
After speaking, he turned and left without attachment.
"Fu Shenxing, wait!"
Rong Xiaonuo rushed forward and took the initiative to hug his waist from behind.
His figure was stagnant, and his eyes became dark and unclear.
"Can you stop being so indifferent to me... OK if I don't ask anything? We are still the same as before, okay?"
Rong Xiaonuo almost made herself humble to the extreme. This was her last attempt and the last chance she gave herself and between them.
If he pushes her away cruelly this time, she will no longer have nostalgia.
"let go."
He spoke faintly, his voice as low as a drumstick hitting her heart, there was nothing superfluous, at least, there was no one she wanted to hear.
"why?"
"Xiao Nuo, be careful... What are you doing upstairs?"
At this time, Fu Nuan's voice came from the stairwell.
Fu Shenxing was cruel, broke her hand forcefully, got out, and faced her: "Don't make a fuss."
"I'm going abroad, Fu Shenxing, maybe I will never come back! Are you sure you want to do this to me?"
Rong Xiaonuo's eyes were full of tears, and he held onto his sleeves tightly.
"I wish you all the best and success in your studies."
He coldly brushed away her hand and turned around.
"That's it? Even if you want to separate, can't you give me a reason?"
"separate?"
Fu Shenxing paused and chuckled, "We have never been together."
Never... Not together
A simple sentence negates everything.
Also, he never said that they were together, it was her own wishful thinking.
The girl closed her eyes disappointedly. She lost the bet... It turned out that the people and things identified in the previous second can be changed in the next second.
The so-called like, but also so cheap.
