Alston looked calmly at the clouds outside the window and did not move for a long time. Leng Yiyao took a last sip of tea, finally stood up, and walked slowly to his side.
"Let's chat?" Hearing the sound of her footsteps, he turned his head and smiled softly at her. That smile was like smoke, fading as soon as it appeared, and quickly disappeared into the air.
Leng Yiyao rarely saw such an expression on his face. It should be said that this person was lazy, as if he didn't care about anything, and seemed not interested in anything in the world. However, she was really happy to make him show such an expression. A little curious.
"Let's go." The two of them followed the elevator and took it downstairs. They did not go to the tree house because they knew that most people in the special class would rest there after eating if they had nothing to do.
There are many wooden chairs next to the artificial lake. When the sun reaches noon, the temperature has also risen. It shines on the lake, making the waves sparkling and very beautiful.
"What happened this morning... First of all, I'm sorry." As soon as she sat down, Auston's voice dropped slightly, but he finally said it.
Fang Feiran was Walker's niece, and he had known her for a long time, but he had never noticed that she had such thoughts. We don't have much time to meet each other, and he is relatively indifferent to ordinary people, and he has never had more than ordinary friendship with her, so he really didn't expect that she would impulsively come to Shengde High School today. What's more, she actually saw the photo of Leng Yiyao...
He glanced at her and realized that in fact, she should know that everyone in the imperial capital, anyone with the ability, had investigated her background.
"I accept your apology. As compensation, should you answer a few questions for me..." Leng Yiyao smiled. Auston looked very cold, but in fact he still had a very upright worldview. Although Fang Feiran's incident happened because of him, it was Fang Feiran who really did the stupid thing. His apology was out of friendship and guilt. However, this does not mean that she cannot take the opportunity to ask for a little interest.
"What do you want to ask?" Auston frowned, subconsciously feeling that what she wanted to ask was definitely not something he was willing to mention.
"Who is Walker?" She raised her eyebrows and smiled softly, with a profound expression on her face.
…
Just know it! This woman can literally read minds!
Auston rubbed his temples. This question should not be answered by him: "Change the question."
"I'm curious about this right now." This is not negotiable.
Auston's expression was blank, and he suddenly turned his head to look at the lake, as if he was recalling the past, or as if he was organizing words in his mind to answer her. After a long time, he sighed softly: "The Fang family is not particularly famous in the imperial capital, but in the north, it is a wealthy family among wealthy families."
Now that we know that Fang Feiran is his niece, he can't hide it. If you follow Fang Feiran and investigate, you will find out. Auston paused for a moment, wondering if this question came out of his mouth the same way. If Leng Yiyao really wanted to know, he could obviously have someone check it out directly. Now that they are connected, they speak much more fluently: "Back then, he was the designated heir in the family because he was talented enough and had outstanding abilities."
For aristocratic families, heroes are not ranked in order of eldest and youngest, but in order of talent. After all, a good head can make the whole family prosperous and strong for hundreds of years.
"But?" Leng Yiyao was used to being followed by "but" when others told stories, so she looked at him leisurely.
Auston sighed: "He has an older brother, and his brother took care of him since he was a child. The two of them have a very good relationship, but because his brother's talents are not as good as his, his reputation in the family has gradually declined. Everyone secretly alienated his brother. At that time, he was in pain. The expectations of his father and family were weighing on his shoulders, but he was unwilling to betray his brother, so he fell into a conflict. Originally, because of his young age, Everyone pretended not to notice his struggle, but then something happened and he completely broke away from his family, and he never set foot in the family again."
Leng Yiyao couldn't help but curl her lips. Alston knew Walker very well. "What happened?",
The corners of Auston's mouth were stiff, and his expression seemed a bit unnatural. After a long moment, he shook his head and said, "I don't know exactly what it is. I only know that it seems to be for one person."
The Fang family had high hopes for "Walker" at the beginning, and they controlled and dominated his life to a certain extent.
Everything has two sides.
This is why he has always preferred to lazily do what he wants to do rather than swim against the current like other people. Why bother? Life is only a few decades long.
one person
Leng Yiyao's expression became subtle. Could it be because of women
The young master of a wealthy family fights to the death against his family for the sake of a poor girl, and finally turns his back on him
She probably wouldn't even believe middle school students in such a vulgar script. It couldn't have been written by "Walker". However, come to think of it, he seems to have always kept a certain distance from women.
"Then how did he meet Yunlai?" How did the young master who defected from a wealthy family get together with the oldest world heir in the empire
When this issue was mentioned, the corner of Auston's mouth trembled. He still remembered the fatalistic expression on "Walker" when he talked about this matter: "When Yunlai was born, 'Walker's' father happened to take him to St. De Group celebrates. After all, Yunlai has been watched by Walker since he grew up." Although the age difference between the two is less than 10 years...
The world's great wonders… .
Think about Yunlai's stern expression, and think about the fact that Walker is nominally a teacher in his group, but actually watched him grow up. When these two people usually stand together, do they feel awkward
"I've said everything I can, and I owe you what happened today." Auston dusted himself off, stood up from the chair, waved his hand gently, and didn't stay any longer.
Leng Yiyao smiled and said nothing. She also stood up and headed in the opposite direction to the private library of Shengde Group.
At noon that day, no one in the special class saw Leng Yiyao again.
In the afternoon class, compared to the morning class, everyone was obviously more calm and less distracted than in the morning class. Everyone in class is quite serious. Of course, there is still the foreign language class that Leng Yiyao dislikes the most.
Fortunately, reading alone in the villa has achieved some results. Now she is not completely listening to the scriptures. Many words and grammar can be slightly understood. This also makes her eyes look less dazed and aloof in the foreign language class. For the first time, the foreign language teacher understood what the word "flattered" meant.
She was actually willing to listen to the class! Does this mean that your new teaching method has been recognized
While the teacher was complacent, she worked even harder when teaching. When get out of class was over, she even dragged the class for the first time.
As the teacher of the last class, this behavior is extremely inhumane.
The whole class of students is already looking forward to it!
Today is Monday, teacher! Didn't you forget, we still have club activities to participate in!
The foreign language teacher, who was getting excited about the topic, suddenly noticed a look of "sadness" in his eyes, and then he noticed that it was time! She was actually delayed for five minutes.
For a moment, his expression was a bit embarrassing. I quickly packed up my textbooks and announced that get out of class was over.
"There's something wrong with the goddess this afternoon." Rhodes observed for a long time and finally came to this conclusion. To be honest, it seems that this kind of thing has never happened to Leng Yiyao. She is the kind of genius who just listens in class, but no matter what the teacher asks, she can answer it in seconds. But today, the way she looked at the electronic screen with interest almost made him suspect that what was on the screen was not a conversation between a man and a woman, but a flirtation between a man and a woman.
It's so incredible.
"What are you thinking about!" Liao Sijie couldn't help but pat him: "Hurry up and pack your things, the club activities are about to start."
There are many people's favorite club activities on Monday, among which piano lessons are a popular class.
However, just when they were about to leave the classroom, they were told that the class was cancelled!
cancelled! cancelled!
What's the meaning!
The class started well last week, why was it cancelled
Could it be that something happened to the teacher's body
The students in the talent show class looked calm and asked the "class representative" who came over to announce the bad news.
"No." The other party waved his hand, but looked at Leng Yiyao meaningfully: "The teacher asked you to go in alone, saying that he has something to do with you."
Is it Leng Yiyao again
Last week, Teacher Qin didn't even come to other piano rooms just because he was tutoring her alone. Could the cancellation of the class this time have something to do with her again
Everyone watched in bewilderment as Leng Yiyao walked past the crowd step by step until she entered the concert hall and disappeared...
Teacher Qin stood directly in the center of the piano room, waiting for her.
His fingers lightly crossed the keys, as if he was thinking about something. The music was not in tune, but the rhythm was very beautiful. Even though her years have passed, her eyes still retain their shrewdness and temperament.
"Are you looking for me?" She leaned against the doorway and glanced at Teacher Qin quietly. Today, none of them brought piano music, their hands were empty, as if they just came here to meet each other casually.
"Did Walker tell you? I want to accept you as a student." Teacher Qin was stunned for a moment. He didn't hear her footsteps at all. When he saw her standing at the door, he immediately looked back. Alone, she stood in the light and shadow, looking faintly, but her expression did not diminish.
Very similar to her last student...
For a moment, Teacher Qin squinted his eyes, as if he was recalling the past, and seemed to be remembering something.
"Just because you accept me as a student, are you going to cancel the school's piano lessons from now on?" Leng Yiyao found this idea very strange. He has classes all day long, and even on weekends his time is limited. Walker knows these, and Teacher Qin must have heard from him, why is this still happening.
"I have limited experience and can't teach too long a lesson. Instead of dragging down both sides, it's better to choose the one that interests me more." Teacher Qin smiled, with warm eyes, as if he was explaining to her, but also to himself.
Leng Yiyao clearly discovered that the other party's eyes would fall on her fingers involuntarily, as if they were looking at her, and also as if they were weighing them.
"But I also said that I don't want to be a pianist." As a person who does not have this goal, his motivation and energy for learning are definitely incomparable to that of professional students. Apart from that sheet of music, why did the pianist treat her differently
….
etc…
Piano score
"Did M ask you to do this?" Leng Yiyao's faint voice was suddenly heard in the delicate air.
Teacher Qin's expression was startled at first, then his eyes froze, and he opened his mouth, as if he was about to say something, but suddenly paused.
"You..." How did she know? M clearly told her to hide it from Leng Yiyao.
Leng Yiyao stood there for a long time, and finally showed a smile that seemed like mist. Hazy and curling, it seems to be able to capture all of a person's emotions at once.
She sighed. Sure enough, it was no coincidence that that person specially sent the piano score when he left.
Or, it was no coincidence that when they first met by chance, a seemingly random suggestion made her start her club activities directly with piano lessons.
She paused, raised her head, and looked at the light in the fortune telling room.
It was dim and slightly yellow, just like the night we first met in D City. He stood behind the bar, slowly wiping the silver paper tableware and cups and saucers, and she walked into his shop with a smile on her face from the dark night.
Behind the scenes, the royal family's men in black were chasing after him. She lowered her head and asked him where the menu was. His eyes followed a dark streak in the darkness outside, and handed over the menu as if nothing had happened.
The second meeting was already in the imperial capital. In the 360-degree view restaurant near the busiest street, they had a hearty meal, as if they didn't notice the strong men with scorpion tattoos who were always "following him" behind him. , chatting and laughing, meeting old friends in a foreign country...
All this was just a passing cloud, but now, it was imprinted in her mind.
Many times, when she didn't see M, she wouldn't deliberately think about such a person. But once it comes to him, you can find that his shadow seems to be everywhere.
His knowledge, skills, and connections seemed to be a mystery. She didn't even know what his name was. Is this person good or evil to her
She lowered her eyes, and a slight smile flashed through her.
She was obviously someone she had not met a few times. Why did he arrange for Teacher Qin to accept her as his disciple? Even Walker was involved in making the connection, so does Walker know that all this was arranged by M
Amid Teacher Qin's surprised expression, Leng Yiyao walked step by step to the piano.
With her fingers, she instantly repeated the tuneless rhythm she just made. Not bad at all! However, her rhythm sounds more direct, and all the hesitation, hesitation, surprise and other emotions in it are covered up by her. It seems like another rhythm that she has re-created...
Undoubtedly, even on the piano, she has never really worked hard, but her talent is enough to make people envious.
In Teacher Qin's shocked expression, she slowly leaned down and sat on the chair...
