thousand strings

Chapter 13

In the evening, Qin An came to knock on the door, and He Qianxian was on the phone with Lin Cen.When Qin An pushed the door, Lin Cen proposed to visit He Qianxian, and He Qianxian readily agreed.

"Then I'll pick you up when you get off work tomorrow." After speaking, she smiled and closed the line.

He Qianxian thought that Uncle Min asked Qin An to bring some refreshments, but seeing that Qin An was empty-handed, he asked, "What's the matter?"

Qin An shook his head, nodded again, and said, "Let me see if you feel better."

He Qianxian raised his hand, looked at his hands and feet, raised his eyebrows, and shrugged exaggeratedly: "Why, I don't look good?"

Qin An was amused by him, and the corner of his mouth curled up, and said, "It's good that you are fine, can I play your piano?"

"of course."

What Qin An played was Liszt's Dream of Love.Playing well, you can see that it took a lot of work to practice.After the song was over, He Qianxian asked, "When did you learn it?"

"I have studied for more than a month."

He Qianxian likes Liszt, and he is very proficient in his songs. "I play too." He sat down next to Qin An and played the piece as well.Compared with Qin An, his playing is much more professional.He was so engrossed in playing that he didn't even notice that Qin An was not listening to the music at all.

When it was over, He Qianxian turned his head and saw Qin An's gaze. He got up and said, "You should find a teacher to study hard. I'll ask my teacher to teach you."

In those few nights, Qin An had been practicing piano in He Qianxian's room, and He Qianxian was reading on the sofa beside him. Every day, Qin An stayed very late before returning to his room.

A week later, Qin An came back from tutoring and saw several workers coming out of his room, his heart sank.He Qianxian said to buy him an upright piano last night, and I'm afraid it will be delivered today.

In the evening, Qin An went to He Qianxian's room to thank him.He Qianxian bought him a piano, logically speaking he should be happy, but seeing his frustrated face, He Qianxian said: "Your room is small, so you can only buy a vertical one, but it probably doesn't feel as good as this one. If you have time, you can come and practice."

As soon as these words fell, Qin An smiled on his slightly depressed face.

During the past two months, whenever He Qianxian was at home, Qin An would report to He Qianxian's room. The two of them practiced the piano and read a book, and they got along very well.

In September, when He Qianxian called Bai Xufeng, the line was always busy before, but this time the user was invalid.He called the Bai family, and the housekeeper told him that Bai Xufeng had gone abroad for two months.

He Qianxian didn't know about such a big thing as going abroad.Bai Xufeng didn't even tell him before he left. It seems that Yuan Qianyu's return to He's house was a big blow to him.

I asked for Bai Xufeng's contact information, but no one answered the call, and a man answered the call, who spoke English and was still delirious. He Qianxian asked for Bai Xufeng, but the man cursed and hung up.

In the evening, when Qin An came to practice the piano, He Qianxian was looking at a picture album. He went to the bathroom on the way and saw Qin An playing with his mobile phone.

"What's wrong?" He Qianxian asked.

Qin An looked up, flustered, "The phone kept ringing just now, so I answered it, but he hung up first. I wanted to find out who it was, but I couldn't use your phone, so I accidentally deleted the number. I'm sorry."

He Qianxian took the phone, "It's okay, my phone is really not very easy to use, I should call you later, but don't answer my call next time."

Qin An lowered his head and muffled a "hmm", "I'm sorry."

Seeing him blaming himself, He Qianxian wanted to ease the atmosphere, but the phone rang again, and the friends wanted to get together, He Qianxian patted Qin An on the shoulder and went out.

On the day Yuan Qianyu returned to He's house, He Qianxian went downstairs to pick him up after hearing the sound.He Yunzheng led Yuan Qianyu into the house with a smile on his face, one wife after another, so shocked that He Qianxian even wondered if it was his father.

Yuan Qianyu saw He Qianxian, looked him up and down, and said, "You seem to be in good spirits."

He Qianxian greeted her with a smile, "Of course it's good that Mom is back."

In the past 20 years, Yuan Qianyu has not fulfilled her responsibilities as a mother. He Qianxian's words made her feel a little unbearable, but at the same time felt relieved.

Her eyes turned red, and He Yunzheng ordered: "He Qianxian, hurry up and pour your mother a glass of water."

"I'll go." He Qianxian turned around and heard Yuan Qianyu laugh, "Why do you still call him by his full name after all these years?"

He Yunzheng smiled, "I'm used to it."

He Qianxian took the tea poured by Uncle Min and brought it to the living room, Yuan Qianyu took it and thanked him: "Thank you Xianxian."

He Qianxian was not used to it.Before she was ten years old, Yuan Qianyu always called him that, but when they met later, she changed to call him Qianxian.Now that they are back at the He family, the two of them will naturally become close, and Yuan Qianyu still calls him Xianxian as he did when he was a child.

His name was chosen by Yuan Qianyu, and it doesn't have a deep meaning, it's just for a nice sound.To be honest, He Qianxian doesn't like his name, Qianxian Qianxian, even if he has a thousand heartstrings, he is no match for his unmotivated wooden fish brain.

Yuan Qianyu returned to He's house, and He Qianxian's life was more regulated than before.I used to sleep until noon before getting up, but now I am called up to have breakfast at [-]:[-] every morning. Even if I want to sleep, I have to finish my breakfast and take a walk before I can continue to sleep.

He Qianxian didn't complain about this, but Yuan Qianyu also stipulated that he should go home before twelve o'clock every night, which made him a little unacceptable.

After thinking about it, Yuan Qianyu probably used the method of educating Bai Xufeng on himself, so he said at the dinner table: "Mom, I'm not Xiaofeng. Isn't it too much to go home before twelve o'clock every day?"

Hearing this, Yuan Qianyu, who was putting salad dressing on his toast, was stunned for a moment, and said, "Where did you think it was, but you are getting married soon, and you are afraid that something will happen if you stay outside. I'm sorry, daughter of the Lin family."

He Qianxian was speechless, and Yuan Qianyu said again: "I have never been able to control Xiaofeng. He has a stubborn temper, and I feel sorry for him. He is so used to him that he doesn't listen to me at all. He also did it on his own when he went abroad this time." Lord, ran away after a fight with Bai Qin."

He Qianxian was taken aback, "He ran away from home?"

"Not to mention, he told Bai Qin that he likes men, and the two had a quarrel, and Bai Qin sent him away in a fit of anger." Yuan Qianyu handed him the toast with a sad expression on his face, "I also heard What the steward said, I don't know exactly what happened."

At that time, Yuan Qianyu had already moved out of the Bai family.

He Qianxian took the toast, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Why did you break up with Uncle Bai?"

Yuan Qianyu, who was about to wipe the second piece of toast, stopped what he was doing, and said for a while: "It's all my fault. In fact, I didn't let go of your father at all. I married into the Bai family because I was angry at him. It's a heavy burden, but I didn't expect him to let me go like that."

"Father always thought that you would marry Uncle Bai because you really didn't love him. He just wanted you to be happy."

Yuan Qianyu's eyes were wet, "Well, it's my fault, if I hadn't been self-willed then, you wouldn't have lived like this... Xianxian, for so many years, my mother has been sorry to you, can you forgive me, I really very happy."

He Qianxian had never hated his mother, so it was impossible to forgive him now. He shook his head and didn't speak again. Yuan Qianyu changed the subject, "By the way, when is Lin Cen coming to visit?"

He Qianxian smiled, "I'll pick her up tonight."

The last time Lin Cen said he came to visit him, but something happened to the Lin family's company. Lin Cen was arranged to go on a temporary business trip for two weeks, and he only came back two days ago.He has already agreed to Yuan Qianyu who is depressed, but he hasn't discussed it with Lin Cen yet.After breakfast, he called Lin Cen, but Lin Cen didn't answer.

Turn it off again.

He Qianxian called Lin's company, and Lin Cen was connected at the front desk. He Qianxian asked about the phone, and Lin Cen said that he forgot to bring the phone, and he was afraid it was out of battery.

He Qianxian invited her to his house as a guest. He thought that Lin Cen would be fine, but he didn't want her to say, "The company has business tonight, so I'm afraid I can't go."

"What's more important than meeting your parents?" He Qianxian smiled, "And I thought it was convenient for you recently, so I promised my mother, can you spare some time?"

There was a silence on the other end, and he agreed: "Okay, but it will be a little later, about eight o'clock."

He Qianxian agreed to pick her up last time, and the promise will continue to be valid.He left the house at five o'clock in the afternoon, and stayed downstairs in Lin's company before six o'clock.

After waiting for more than half an hour, everyone in the office building had almost left. He Qianxian saw that it was almost seven o'clock, and Lin Cen should be about to come down.

Suddenly remembering that he didn't say to pick her up on the phone today, fearing that she would go straight down to the underground parking lot, He Qianxian hurriedly drove the car down.Lin Cen's car had a dedicated seat, and He Qianxian felt relieved when he saw the red car parked there.

After waiting for another ten minutes, there was the sound of high heels and the sound of men's footsteps at the same time. He Qianxian followed the prestige and saw Lin Cen and a man walking to the front of the car.After the two kissed passionately for nearly a minute, Lin Cen got into the car, and the man waved to her and watched her leave.

That man, whom He Qianxian knew, was Li Mai, a film and television student.

Until Li Mai also disappeared from sight, He Qianxian dialed Lin Cen's phone number.Lin Cen picked it up this time, with a brisk tone, "I'm almost there, you can pick me up later, I also brought some presents, I'm afraid it's inconvenient to take them."

He Qianxian ignored her words, just said "Lin Cen, let's go another day" and hung up the phone.

The next day, He Qianxian said that he wanted to go on a trip. Although Yuan Qianyu was worried, but He Qianxian insisted, so she had to agree.He Qianxianhua made an appointment with a few fun-loving friends all morning, and drove to U City to visit the mountains and rivers.

On the day of leaving, Yuan Qianyu took Uncle Min and Qin An to see him off, and repeatedly explained some things.Qin An took advantage of Yuan Qianyu to ask Uncle Min if everything was ready, and secretly gave He Qianxian something.

He Qianxian took a look and saw that it was a small wooden Buddha, half the size of a thumb, carved very rough, and the color was close to sandalwood.He Qianxian played with it, "Where did it come from?"

"My dad carved it when he was bored, and I kept it with me. Dad said it would keep him safe."

He Qianxian frowned, "Uncle Min still carves this?"

Qin An was silent.He Qianxian handed the little Buddha back to him, "I don't want it, lest I lose it."

As soon as he said this, Qin An ignored him, turned around and ran away.

He Qianxian looked at the little sandalwood Buddha, then at Uncle Min who was walking over, and then remembered who Qin An said about his father just now.He gave the little Buddha to Uncle Min and said, "Give this back to Qin An, I can't take it."

Uncle Min took it over and took a look, slightly surprised, "Qin An gave it to you?" He looked back at Qin An, biting his lips and looking at the two of them, and said to He Qianxian, "He also had good intentions, and I hope you will be blessed outside. Have a safe journey, accept it."

He Qianxian shook his head, "I can't take it, if it gets lost, he will blame me."

Probably the Buddha was heartbroken by He Qianxian's rejection. He Qianxian's self-driving trip this time, everything went wrong.He had a flat tire as soon as he left City L, and then a buddy who was traveling with him had diarrhea and flew back straight away.There were originally four of them, and the one who was able to take care of himself the most was gone, leaving him, a cynical young man, and his boyfriend.

At that time, He Qianxian didn't know what kind of relationship they had, until that day when they couldn't find a place to live, He Qianxian clumsily set up a tent in the wilderness, was driven to sleep in the car, woke up in the middle of the night, and walked past the tent Hearing their cries, he knew the clue.

In the next few days, everyone was a little embarrassed. He Qianxian didn't want to be their light bulb, so he avoided it as much as possible, and basically acted separately.
