Chapter 34

It has only been a week since the injury, and the scratch on Guan Zan's left hand is no longer a problem. The wound on his right hand, which was pierced by glass balls, is deeper, and it is not so easy to heal completely.Right now, a layer of new skin has formed on the surface of the wound, which looks very tender and thin, covering the bright red incision, and you can still feel obvious pain when you move a little, obviously the inside has not grown well yet.

It is hot in summer, so the wound is not suitable to be stuffed with thick gauze. Sweating will affect the healing speed, so Ke Jinrui changed him to a single layer of gauze after he did not bleed much, mainly for ventilation, and for other aspects to block some dust.

The area of ​​the piano room on the second floor is not too big, and the layout is not as simple and elegant as that of Xishan Villa. It is just decorated according to the Chinese style, and a few pieces of mahogany furniture are symbolically placed.The doors and windows of this room are usually locked, and the furniture is covered with dustproof cloth, so it will not be used, and I know it has been idle for a long time.

Ke Jinrui doesn't like playing the zither. Although he hasn't mentioned this directly, it can be seen from his current life experience and attitude.

At this moment, Xu Zhendong was busy unpacking and setting up the guzheng, while Guan Zan casually looked around the piano room, and walked to the other end of the room to open the window for ventilation.

The floor-to-ceiling windows face west, and the afternoon sun is slanted, and the light is bright and dazzling.Guan Zan pulled up the innermost white window screen and was about to turn around when he glanced casually out of the corner of his eye and noticed a storage cabinet in the corner of the open balcony.Different from ordinary household vertical cabinets, the cabinet is made of exquisite materials, and the opening and closing parts are specially sealed.Guan Zan could tell what the cabinet was for at a glance, walked over and opened the door, and there was indeed a piano case inside.

"Has Mr. Ke ever learned the piano?" Guan Zan looked back at Xu Zhendong.

Xu Zhendong has already fixed the piano stand, just placed the guzheng on it, and is currently adjusting the position of the piano head.He replied without raising his head: "Of course the members of the Ke family have been taught by the old man." After speaking, he stood up straight and waved to Guan Zan, "How about trying the height?"

In addition to the piano, this pair of shelves is also custom-made.

Boys are different from girls in their petiteness and slenderness, not to mention that they have to change their size in adolescence. It is easy to stretch their legs with ordinary frames, which affects the appearance and comfort.

Guan Zan walked to the prepared piano bench and sat down. It felt just right, and there was still a gap between his thighs and the back of the piano after his feet were flattened.He looked up at Xu Zhendong, and said with a smile, "It's really well done, thank you for your hard work, and even made a special trip for me."

"It's the old man who has a heart. He misses you everywhere and wants to give you the best. Let's take this piano as an example..." Xu Zhendong closed the piano case and carried it to the corner against the wall. He exhaled, and said lightly, "Although the production started more than a month ago, it took several years just to select the materials."

Guan Zan lowered his head to look at the piano when he heard the words, and then was slightly stunned.He is not good at antiques, and he doesn't know anything about wood, but some of them are so famous that even a layman can see the way or call out a name.

The wood used for this zither is dark and transparent, with only a thin layer of varnish applied, and after being polished by the craftsman, the surface is extremely smooth and warm to the touch, just like a woman's smooth and smooth bare back.The whole body of the zither is made of pure fine carving technology, without decoration of gold, jade and jewelry. The scenery is made of phoenix forest, the phoenix head on the head of the zither, and the fire feather on the tail of the zither. The wings are particularly vivid and lifelike.

Xu Zhendong said: "This kind of complete Jinshen is too rare, and it can't be measured by money alone. The old man is willing to give up everything for you."

Guan Zan came back to his senses suddenly, and looked up at him.

Xu Zhendong patted his head, and said warmly: "I have prepared new nails, two official sets and one spare set, which have been polished according to the size of your fingers. The old man did it himself." He withdrew his hand and walked towards the door. Go, "I'll go downstairs to see Mr. Ke, don't bother me, you can practice by yourself."

The voice fell, and the door slammed, and the room was silent.

Guan Zan was greatly touched.

From childhood to adulthood, he has never had an elder like Ke Su, who can care for him unconditionally and regardless of the consequences, and is willing to spend a lot of money and pick stars to love.But in just over a month, Ke Su's pampering has exceeded the normal range too much, Guan Zan is clear-headed, besides being touched, there is also a trace of uneasy fear in his heart.

Ke Su will at least spend the weekend in the city.

The schedule was rushed, and he was alone, so he didn't want to go back to live in the courtyard house in Houhai.It's more fun to stay here, although you can see the sky and see your unlucky son, but there are little apprentices playing piano and chess with you, so you won't be bored.

That afternoon Guan Zan stayed in the piano room for review training.The wound on the palm affected the sensitivity of the fingers, and after a period of time, it took a lot of effort to find the feeling at first, and the practice repertoire had to be played seven or eight times before it became pleasant to the ears.

After Ke Su rested enough, he came up to practice with his young apprentice. He felt sorry for Guan Zan's old injured hand, because it was the luthier's life.I feel even more sorry for the people he has been violently treated, because in Ke Su's heart, Guan Zan is obedient, sensible, and clean and good-looking, but he has suffered so much, and now he has finally returned under his wings, so he should be safe and secure. Protect her deeply, love her dearly, and make up for what she owed in the past ten years.

What's more, there are so many things that I can't make up for.

In Ke Su's eyes, Guan Zan's body is full of Guan Yuwen's shadow.His arpeggios, his flower fingers, and even the little problem of insufficient wrist strength when strumming are very similar to that person back then.Influenced by his parents, Guan Zan has an excellent musical talent, which cannot be concealed no matter how many years of suspension and absence.And these advantages were infinitely magnified by Ke Suaiwu and Wudi, pushed to the limit, even surpassing Guan Yuwen.He believed that Guan Zan was so talented that even the dust on the pearl could not hide half of his brilliance.

There was endless music in the piano room, until Ke Su stopped guiding and concentrated on listening to the music.If he didn't move or speak, Guan Zan didn't dare to stop and practiced over and over again.Those few etudes are short and exquisite, but they can solidly hone the most exquisite fingering.

The primary level of performance is flawless, without wrong notes or omissions, and can perfectly reproduce the rhythmic fluctuations of the score, and even imitate the master.However, this kind of performance lacks a unique soul, but is just a stereotyped exquisite skin, which is why most people are mediocre, and only a few people are able to live forever in the folk music circle.

Ke Su's mind was solemn, his eyes fixed on the young apprentice's nimble and slender hands.He wants to help Guan Zan dig out his musical soul, like the lines of beautiful jade that cannot be reproduced, natural and uncanny, so that he can live up to his background and Guan Yuwen's once-in-a-century talent.

This day I practiced the piano very late, and the sky outside the window had already darkened.

Xu Zhendong called once first, but Ke Su didn't seem to hear him, and didn't respond.Guan Zan saw that the teacher was not moving, so he waved his hand quietly to Uncle Xu, signaling to wait, and then continued to practice the piano.Ke Jinrui came in later, forcibly stopped, and asked Xu Zhendong to help the old man go down for dinner.

After the two left, he came over and took Guan Zan's right hand, turning it over to check the condition of his palm.

It was inconvenient to move around with the bandage, so Guan Zan took off the gauze long before putting on the nails.Now, after five or six hours of continuous playing, the newly healed wounds could not stand the toss, and several places had split open and oozing blood. The situation was not serious, but the pain could not escape.

Ke Jinrui took a chair and sat down, took off Guan Zan's nails, and said lightly, "The injury is not healed, so why work hard, afraid that I won't be able to pass the central examination?"

"A little bit." Guan Zan frowned in pain, his hands trembled, but his voice was very flat, "And I can also feel the teacher's attitude has changed. He is so serious about accompanying me, I can't be perfunctory to him."

Ke Jinrui smiled when he heard the words, and said: "The old man has a lot of things on his mind. He is here, but his thoughts may not be here. Besides, you have to choose a time if you are not perfunctory, at least you have to wait until your hands are ready."

After removing the fake nails, Ke Jinrui covered the guzheng with a piece of silk to prevent dust, and then took Guan Zan to the master bedroom to treat the wound.

This is Ke Jinrui's bedroom, and Guan Zan only came in once when he came to clean the room for the first time.Nothing special, just a very simple modern style, the main color is black, white and gray, which is not very warm as a bedroom, and it is a bit Japanese-style cold, which is very in line with the personality of the host.

Guan Zan sat on the sofa and waited.He had kept a straight sitting posture for too long before, and after relaxing, his back felt so sore. He took a feather cushion to support his lower back, leaned softly on the armrest, and stared at the neatly laid out large double bed. Look, by the way, imagine how his master sleeps on it.

It's better to be naked, it's very eye-catching when you think about it.

After a while, Ke Jinrui took the medicine box and came over. Seeing that the little guy was too tired to sit still, he simply lifted Guan Zan's legs and put them on the sofa.Guan Zan obediently moved inside and lay down on his side, leaving a large enough space on the edge.Ke Jinrui sat down next to him, and took out anti-inflammatory medicine and new gauze from the box.

"You are not allowed to practice the piano tomorrow." Ke Jinrui said, "Depending on the situation, at least a few days of rest will be required. Let's talk about it next week."

Guan Zan tilted his head to look at him.

The man's facial features are three-dimensional, with prominent browbones, and a straight and straight bridge of nose.His eyelashes are long and thick, and when they are drawn down, they give people a deep and gentle feeling. Guan Zan is deeply attached to them, and he can't help but like them.

"It's been too long." Guan Zan collected himself, feeling that recent things have piled up together, so that no matter how handsome Ke Jinrui is, he can't appease his worries, "It's going to be August soon, and the exam time is too tight. There is no etude, and there is not even a formal repertoire that can be produced." He sighed, his voice was muffled, like an unhappy kitten, "... I don't want to embarrass the teacher."

Ke Jinrui said: "Don't worry, the old man is proud of you, no one dares to say that you lost his people."

After dealing with the hand injury, Ke Jinrui got up to put in the medicine box.Guan Zan didn't want him to leave, so he repeated his old trick, hooking the corner of his clothes and leaving him behind.

Guan Zan said: "Just now in the piano room, Uncle Xu said that you can also play the piano?"

"I was asked to study for a while." Ke Jinrui replied casually, "Then I was really not interested, so I dropped it. The old man lost his temper with me a lot because of this. In the end, he couldn't help it, and he couldn't bear to sever the relationship between father and son, so he had to go with me. .”

He looked down at Guan Zan, with a warm and sexy smile: "Is there anything else I want to ask, why am I not interested in playing the piano?"

"That's not true. Not being interested in itself is a very good reason." Guan Zan sat up propped up, the distance between the two was very close, he looked into Ke Jinrui's eyes, but he didn't make any more intimate gestures. The index finger hooked the opponent's hand propped on the sofa one by one.

"I'm just curious about how you play the piano. I don't know... Do I have the qualification to listen to Mr. Ke play the piano?"

There are only a few wall lamps on in the bedroom, the light is warm and yellow and ambiguous.

Guan Zan's skin is light, and in the dark, his lips are red and his teeth are white, and his skin is delicate.His eyes are black and white, with extremely long and dense eyelashes, which look like thin and curly butterfly wings when flapped, complementing the narrow and delicate upward eye tails.Those eyes are too good-looking, and the eyes are too clear, and things will be reversed, so they inevitably show a bit of obsession, seductive, and the smile makes people's hearts itchy.

Ke Jinrui's gaze was caught, and his gaze moved down slightly to the little fox's pursed lips.

There was desire in his heart, and he remained calm and had nowhere to hide.He also wanted to let go and taste the taste of this little thing that seduced him desperately, to taste his fresh and tender lips and tight flesh, in extreme pain, and let the tears of love overflow.

He wanted to tell him heartbrokenly that adult ambiguous games, though evocative, were also dangerous.
