sip the sky and you

Chapter 20 Chapter 20

The two ran all the way, sweating all over.Cheng Yin took off his coat and slowly swayed with Li Yu.

"By the way," Cheng Yin took out his mobile phone, "I'll call Fang Yuan and ask him to help us with our schoolbags. Do you have anything to bring?"

Li Yu shook his head, "Just ask him to help carry the schoolbag, there is no need to clean it up."

"Okay, I'll just send him a text message." Cheng Yin looked at the time, "get out of class will be over soon."

"Where are we going to get our schoolbags?" Li Yu asked.

Cheng Yin thought for a while and said, "I'll go get it from him tomorrow."

"Row."

"Why don't you go home? I'm hungry." Cheng Yin smiled.

"Let's go." Li Yu walked forward.

"Go back to my house." Cheng Yin said quickly.

Li Yu was stunned, "To your house?"

"That's right." Cheng Yin tugged at the hem of his clothes, "Go back to my house and write a self-criticism."

Li Yu didn't know why, "Why write a review?"

Cheng Yin smiled, "Big brother, you are used to being a student and you don't have the slightest sense of self-consciousness? It's over after handing in the blank papers? Take the initiative to write a self-criticism, and the class teacher and the Chinese teacher will have one copy."

Li Yu frowned, "Ah, I don't know how to write a review."

Cheng Yin smiled even more happily, "That's why I asked you to come to my house. I wrote a good review. When I was in junior high school, my mobile phone was confiscated by the teacher. The teacher was so moved by my [-]-word review that he returned the phone not long after. Give it to me. You go to my house and I will teach you to write. It just so happens that my dad said to make chicken soup tonight to nourish your brain."

Li Yu couldn't laugh or cry, "The review is so good, why do you still worry about Chinese composition?"

Cheng Yin sighed, "It's different. Can you not expose me?"

Li Yu smiled, "Okay, okay." Li Yu looked at Cheng Yin's hand again, "Why do you always like to drag people?"

"I don't know." Cheng Yin thought for a while, "Maybe he was afraid that you would run away alone? My dad said that when I was young, I liked to follow him and hold on to his clothes by the back. I had to follow him wherever I went."

"Oh," Li Yu patted his head with a smile, "Follower."

Cheng Yin shook her head, feeling quite complacent for no reason.

"Put on your clothes, you have a cold." Li Yu said.

Cheng Yin thought of the cup of hot milk tea on the table, warmed his heart, obediently put on his coat again.

Halfway there, they met Shu Yao, who was with another girl on the opposite street.As soon as the two of them came out of a bakery, the girl tore open the package of the chocolate bar and handed it to Shu Yao's mouth. Shu Yao took a bite directly, and the two behaved very intimately.

The two girls on the opposite side walked away hand in hand, not noticing the two stunned boys.

Cheng Yin opened his mouth, "Don't guess what a girl is thinking. It seems like a different person in a blink of an eye."

Li Yu turned back, glanced at it, and smiled, "It feels much better than the previous time, and it should be pretty good." He squeezed his chin again, "But I told her to come and ask any questions, but she didn't come. found me."

Cheng Yin thought for a while and asked him: "Why did Shu Yao ask you to teach her before?"

Li Yu raised his head and suddenly understood, "You mean, she just wanted to make friends with us?"

"Yes." Cheng Yin said, looking at him, "She didn't like studying that much at first. She just thought you had good grades, so she used the reason of tutoring to get close to you."

"I rejected her. Did she think I didn't want to make friends with her?" Li Yu asked.

"It's not that serious. I think you have a gentle temper." Cheng Yin thought for a while, "Shu Yao is still too lonely. If someone is willing to take the initiative to be with her, she probably won't be able to refuse."

Cheng Yin went on to say: "I ran into her during the National Day holiday. She stared at the signing venue alone and dared not go in. I asked her why, and she said that she was afraid that the brother she liked would not remember her."

Li Yu said: "The probability of remembering is too small."

"That's right," Cheng Yin said, "It's hard to say if you take your favorite idol too seriously."

Li Yu didn't know what to say.This kind of thing sounds very uncomfortable, but there is really nothing that others can do.

"It's nothing." Cheng Yin smiled, "Aren't they happy? Enough."

"En." Li Yu nodded, "Let's go quickly, you are not hungry."

After eating, Cheng Yin pushed Li Yu into the room, and after pressing Li Yu on the table, Cheng Yin spread out the notebook for him, put the pen into his hand, folded his hands and said, "Let's write."

Li Yu glanced at him without any hesitation, took a breath and immediately started writing.

Cheng Yin glanced at him in surprise, so it's written?Don't need him to teach?

Cheng Yin leaned down and looked at the notebook, Li Yu wrote two big words: review.

Li Yu laughed after finishing writing, tilted his head and asked Cheng Yin, "How do you write at the beginning?"

Cheng Yin leaned over and sat on his chair to squeeze, Li Yu moved his butt to make room for him.

Cheng Yin took the pen in one hand, hooked Li Yu's shoulder with the other, and said like a gentleman: "Teacher Cheng will teach you."

Cheng Yin lost all momentum after writing for a while, and Li Yu was indeed the one who opened the column, so he just mentioned a few words about Li Yu and continued to write.

Cheng Yin pressed Li Yu's hand, "Scholar, that's enough. You've written almost [-] words, and you still have something for the Chinese teacher. Are you going to sleep tonight?"

Li Yu was a little confused, "Didn't you say that there should be more words and more emotions?"

"My essay in the examination room is [-] words long, but you have [-] words. Let's end it." Cheng Yin felt helpless.

Besides, whoever writes a review and quotes so many famous quotes has a lot of material, which is brilliant and enviable.

"Then end now?" Li Yu looked at him, his introverted eyelids stretched, making his eyes a little round.

"Come on." Cheng Yin stood up, "I'm going to warm up the milk."

After a while Cheng Yin came in with two glasses of milk, Li Yu took a sip slowly, "Huh? Did you add sugar?"

"No." Cheng Yin also took a sip, "Normal sweetness."

"Ah," Li Yu tilted his head, "Every time I heat milk, it doesn't taste good."

Cheng Yin smiled, "I guess your temperature is too high, it will be hot when you drink it, and you won't be able to taste the sweetness."

"Hey," Li Yu buried his head and continued to write the review, and muttered softly, "It's fine if you don't know how to cook, but I can't even heat milk?"

Cheng Yin laughed quietly behind him, "I added some honey."

Li Yu turned around and glanced at him, "I heard that." He asked again: "I hand in a blank paper, will Teacher Yang call the parents?"

Cheng Yin thought for a while, "It depends on your performance. If you behave well, please ask the teacher, he will soften his heart."

Li Yu nodded.

Cheng Yin smiled, "So you are also afraid of inviting parents?" She took out her mobile phone and shook it in front of his eyes, "A few boys in class said to have a dinner tomorrow night, do you want to go?"

Tomorrow night.

"I probably don't want to go out tomorrow night." Li Yu said.

"Huh," Cheng Yin dragged his voice, "You can still predict your mood tomorrow night in advance."

"That's right," Li Yu looked up at the ceiling, leaning his head on the chair, "I can still predict what will happen tomorrow night."

With a faint smile on his lips, he turned his head to look at Cheng Yin, "You guys go."

"Okay, write quickly." Cheng Yin patted his head.

Cheng Yin went out on Saturday afternoon and played games with some boys in the class at the Internet cafe. The atmosphere was lively and noisy all afternoon, and Cheng Yin invited everyone to drink milk tea.

"What's for dinner?" Cheng Yin asked while fighting monsters.

"I don't know. Barbecue?" someone said.

"Hey," Fang Yuan roared, "I just ate last night, change to something else."

"Then eat skewers?" Wang Jing leaned over and asked.

Qin Lang slammed the keyboard, jumped up and roared, "I won! Why don't you eat hot pot?"

Cheng Yin smiled, "Do you eat hot pot every time?"

"Why not?"

"Forget it." Cheng Yin took off the earphones, "The hot pot is good. I can't think of anything else."

Fang Yuan sat next to Cheng Yin and asked, "Is Li Yu coming?"

"He has something to do." Cheng Yin said casually.

Fang Yuan immediately looked at Cheng Yin with ambiguous eyes, Cheng Yin stretched out his hand to cover his eyes, "Don't fucking look, he is more handsome than you."

However, Cheng Yin still admired Fang Yuan's understanding of him, and probably already saw it.

Cheng Yin thought shamelessly: It's normal to see that Li Yu is so attractive.

At this moment Li Yu was hesitating whether to go to Lan Lan's concert or not.It started at seven o'clock, and it's almost six o'clock now.Li Yu picked up the ticket on the table and looked at it again, remembering that Cheng Yin asked him if he liked the guitar, and he really liked it.

What about the piano?I also like it very much.

Lan Lan asked him to practice the piano well before, and said that he would play a duet with him in the future.

Li Yu sat on the piano bench, looked at the gradually darkening sky outside the window, and his fingers began to dance.

He played the third movement of Beethoven's No. 14 piano sonata that he didn't play last time in silence.

He played smoothly, but also very stiffly.There is no expression, nor any redundant body movements.After playing the piece like a bystander, Li Yu didn't inject any emotion.

Li Yu decided, let's go.Anyway, we haven't seen each other for a long time.

There will definitely be no chance to play in an ensemble in the future.

Li Yu changed his clothes again, went out and took a taxi to the concert hall.

The destination is not too close, and when Li Yu arrives, he can almost enter the arena.Lan Lan gave him a good seat, Li Yu sat down and glanced around.

This time it was a small concert, and there was no open ticket sale, only some friends and teachers were invited.

Lan Lan's reputation is not too great, she only has a certain status among domestic pianists, and knows several powerful masters.After all, classical music has always been a minority, and pianists have neither international reputation nor domestic reputation. It is because of their international status that they will gradually be sought after by Chinese people.

The purpose of this concert is probably also sharing. All the people in the industry are invited, less than 100 people.

It's easy for Li Yu to think that Lan Lan's pressure is naturally greater, and she has to prove herself in front of her peers.

After turning the phone to silent, Li Yu looked down at himself. Fortunately, he changed into a suit of clothes. Today's occasion is quite formal.Although Lan Lan would not introduce himself as her son to others, Li Yu smiled, and it was not an embarrassment for her the last time.

A few boys ate a lot, and they were all chatting happily with red faces at the moment.Just after the midterm exam, the topic easily turned to Li Yu.

Qin Lang scalded the duck intestines and asked, "Why does Li Yu have to hand in a blank paper for Chinese?"

"I know!" Chen Liyan, the representative of the Chinese class, said with a smile, "He must be afraid of hurting my self-esteem. Last time I asked Li Yu how to review Chinese, he said he organized his notes, and I was joking with him at the time. Let him play mediocrely and don't make my class representative too stressed." Chen Liyan scratched his head embarrassingly, "I didn't expect Li Yu to be so interesting, so cool. I have to buy him water on Monday."

Cheng Yin smiled secretly, Li Yu was doing your spring and autumn dream for my young master.

But the silly boy Qin Lang was stunned when he heard it, "Really? Li Yu is so kind. He usually sits so close to me, but he doesn't talk very much. I didn't expect him to be so amiable?" Qin Lang sighed, " Hey. I didn't dare to communicate with him much before, I thought he was a high-cold scholar."

Cheng Yin picked up the duck intestines that had slipped off the chopsticks for him, and by the way grabbed the point and scolded him: "A fart is amiable, does amiable describe young people?"

Fang Yuan winked at Cheng Yin, "That's right! In Cheng Yin's heart, of course Li Yu must be described as suave and suave."

Fang Yuan wanted to play tricks, Cheng Yin couldn't name him clearly, he could only say: "Yes. In my heart, except Fang Yuan is ugly, everyone is so handsome."

Fang Yuan said with a smile: "Damn ghost! You still praised me in bed yesterday that I look like Pan An."

The people at the table couldn't help laughing, clamoring for the two of them to announce their relationship and treat the guests to dinner.

Cheng Yin looked disgusted, "Stop yelling, people at other tables are laughing at us. Fang Yuan is not counted, I invite everyone to sing."

Fang Yuan pouted, "Fucking heartless man! I want to go too."

So a few people went to KTV after eating and paying the bill.Fang Yuan put his toes on Cheng Yin's shoulders, Cheng Yin was very helpless, "Are you tired?"

Fang Yuan smiled, "Brother wants to do this." After speaking, he continued to stand on tiptoe.After a while Fang Yuan asked him again in a low voice: "Why didn't Li Yu take the language test?"

Cheng Yin didn't speak, but shook his head with a smile.

Fang Yuan laughed by himself, "Your intoxicated look, tsk tsk tsk, shame on you."

"Don't tell others." Cheng Yin said, "Li Yu doesn't know about me."

Only then did Fang Yuan put down his arms, frowned and asked him: "I thought you were together. You two skipped class together yesterday afternoon, I thought it was done."

Cheng Yin smiled slightly, "No. Don't talk nonsense, Li Yu doesn't know anything."

Fang Yuan walked with him at the back, and the people in front told them to hurry up, so the two of them kept silent about this matter.

The lights dimmed and the concert began immediately.

Lan Lan came up from behind, bowed first, and then sat down in front of the piano.

Li Yu looked at his mother, she was still well-maintained and elegant, just like before.

Lan Lan raised her head and lowered her fingers.The first was Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. [-] in C major, and she chose a piece with magnificent technique.

Li Yu listened and watched seriously, feeling that the person on the stage not far away was becoming more and more unfamiliar.There is no doubt that her playing level has improved a lot, otherwise such a concert would not have been held.

Lan Lan's expression was joyful, she closed her eyes slightly, and let her fingers walk on the keys.Li Yu knew that she should be enjoying it very much now, the movement of raising her arms lightly and then touching the piano was graceful and passionate, showing off her skills gorgeously.

Li Yu thought of the past, when he was still very young.

Professor Li was young at that time, obsessed with German literature, and in his spare time he took the time to learn German by himself.At that time, the husband and wife were deeply in love, and Lan Lan asked him to learn from Schubert's "The Beautiful Miller Girl".Professor Li is gentle and gentle, and never refuses his wife's request.At that time, there was always laughter in the house. Lan Lan accompanied him. Professor Li mastered the rhythm and sang a set of divertimento with great difficulty. Li Yu always smiled and nestled on the sofa watching them lying on the piano alone. It came out intermittently, and one person stood aside and sang with a blushing neck.In the end, Lan Lan scolded him for not being good at sitting, and Professor Li smiled and hugged him in his arms and rubbed him.

Now Professor Li is invisible in the vast crowd, and Lan Lan is sitting alone on the stage at this time, igniting the brilliant fast rhythm.

No, Li Yu thought for a while, with the sound of the piano as her companion, she is not alone.

The only one who is alone is Li Yu who has been left behind.

The next track was "Turkish March". This easy-to-understand piano piece made everyone relaxed and put a smile on their lips.

The bright rhythm made Li Yu immersed in the music, and Cheng Yin's hearty smile flashed in his mind.Li Yu shook his eyes, there was only a small beam of light on the stage, and Lan Lan looked brisk and enjoying it.

Then came the intermission.Li Yu sat quietly in his seat and did nothing.

KTV was still dancing with demons, a group of boys shouted, sang and danced, and Cheng Yin's ears hurt from the noise.Compared with Li Yu, he is lively and cheerful.But with this group of psychopaths, he was really reserved.

Fang Yuan and another boy are singing "Lang's Temptation".

"Miss!", the other party yelled.

Fang Yuan's broken voice hurriedly yelled: "Aha!"

Cheng Yin was speechless, and the two of them stared at each other numbly throughout the singing and singing, not even looking at the screen.Great, I can still remember all the lyrics.

After singing, Fang Yuan still took the microphone and yelled at Cheng Yin: "Cheng Yin, Cheng Yin! Help me up my song, I want to sing "Princess""

Cheng Yin turned around and played the song on the small screen behind the sofa.

"When dreams are planted in the happy pond, it becomes an ocean..." After the prelude, Cheng Yin picked up the microphone and started singing on his own. Several other people looked at him in shock.

Fang Yuan raised the microphone and asked stupidly: "How did the promised "Princess" become "Happy Little Frog"?"

Cheng Yin made a rock gesture to him, Fang Yuan immediately shook his head and sang along with him.Then several men in a box sat in rows and sang Little Frog together.

Li Yu should be glad that he didn't come, classical music might not be able to wash away this evil wind.

In the second half, Lan Lan chose the large-scale piece "Butterfly", and the final chapter was Schumann's "Fantasia".The gentle and quiet sound of the piano was flowing in the air, and Li Yu saw a tear seep from the corner of her eye.

He didn't know how many times he heard her play this piece when he was a child.This time Lan Lan played more gently, so softly that Li Yu felt like he was back in his infancy, being carefully placed in the cradle and slowly rocked.

Li Yu couldn't help closing his eyes, and he called his mother in his heart.

Lan Lan should have known that he was coming, Li Yu even felt that this piece was played by his mother for his son.

Maybe now.The sadness lying in the dark in the song is the sadness of parting.She really wanted to give up on Li Yu completely.

At the end of the song, there was thunderous applause.

Li Yu walked out of the concert hall and walked back, step by step steadily and slowly, just like when he was just learning to walk.He has been stable since he was a child, and once he is out of his father's hands, he can walk straight and steady.

His father's eyes were behind his back, and his big hands were ready to protect him at any time, but he walked away step by step, growing up little by little.

Now he is walking in the same way, this time, there is no one behind him.

When he was about to reach the community, Li Yu walked into the alley again, leaning his back against the wall in a daze.In fact, not too sad, just feel a little lost.Some things are never there anymore.

Cheng Yin was on the opposite side and watched him for a long time.

This scene seems to be no different from the one at the beginning of school.Cheng Yin who came back from eating and drinking with Fang Yuan met Li Yu who was lost and sad.

But this time Cheng Yin couldn't walk over and hand him a bottle of Coke like that time.Cheng Yin felt very uncomfortable when he thought of the way Li Yu raised his head last night to explain that he was not in the mood for the night.

Cheng Yin watched Li Yu staring blankly at the floor, and sent him a text message with complicated emotions.

Li Yu took out his mobile phone expressionlessly, the white light of the screen imprinted on his face, making him look even more haggard.Cheng Yin asked: Can you have a barbecue?

Li Yu smiled lightly, and turned back: where are you?

- across from you.

Li Yu raised his head, Cheng Yin frowned and waved at him.
