Bamboo Horse Pianist

Chapter 3 I'm in your world, it's too crowded

Mu Liunian, what kind of man are you?In the eyes of others, you are always so cold, alienated from the world, but who knows that you are the most affectionate, so affectionate that no one can understand.

Part1
In the empty concert hall, the melodious and pleasant sound of the piano can be heard from afar.

"The reason why the piano has become the 'king' in the family of musical instruments is endowed by the development of human spiritual civilization and scientific and technological civilization. The appearance of the piano as a musical instrument is the demand of human social life. The state of the continuous development of the spiritual life of human society..."

The girl standing in the middle of the concert hall seemed a little nervous. This was the first time she had participated in a music-related speech.Originally, the protagonist of this event was the man who was sitting by the black piano and playing the piano.But I heard that the Conservatory of Music asked him to give a demonstration this time, and he came only because the leader himself came forward. This time, he only acted but not talked, so he had to temporarily call her from the Broadcasting Department to cooperate.

She carefully glanced at that handsome and delicate side face, she really didn't expect that she would have the opportunity to cooperate with Senior Brother Mu, you know how many people dream of such an opportunity.

After the song was over, Mu Liunian glanced at the flickering phone, which was already full of text messages. He glanced at it casually, then put the phone aside, and heard a small voice——

"Brother... can you take a look at the manuscript I prepared?"

He looked up, and a small face with a slight timidity but full of expectation came into sight.

"Just handle it yourself." The polite and distant answer, but the deep voice penetrated deeply into her heart.

The girl's face turned red involuntarily.Brother Mu really treats everyone like this.In the past, she had secretly watched Senior Brother Mu talking to other girls from behind. Whether it was an ordinary-looking girl or a very good-looking girl, he always kept a slight distance.But it's that kind of distance that makes people want to get closer, but he can make people's hearts beat and blush just by saying a word casually. The low magnetic voice is like a slow cello, piercing people's heart.

It's not like she hasn't seen good-looking boys since she was in school, but compared with Senior Brother Mu, those legendary school girls are really one in the sky and the other in the ground, there is no comparison at all.

Maybe it was because there were only the two of them in the whole hall, so the girl couldn't help becoming more courageous, "Senior Brother Mu, I heard that you composed a song "Flowing Years" when you were very young, but you haven't listened to it in recent years. You played it, don't you know why?"

"There's no reason." Mu Liunian responded indifferently, as if he didn't want to dwell on this topic.

The girl was stunned for a moment, her little face was flushed, and she instinctively said, "Then can senior brother play a part of it today?"

Over the years, this was not the first time I heard such a request, as usual, Mu Liunian still shook his head indifferently.

I still remember that there was a person who regarded "Flowing Years" as a lullaby, and mumbled to him before going to bed one time: "Brother Fleeting Years... from now on, you can only play "Flowing Years" for me alone, okay? "

Since then, he has complied with her request.After she left, he never played "Fleeing Years" again.

It's not that he didn't laugh at himself, he remembered everything she said casually when he was a child.But what about her?Asked for so many promises from him, but left without saying a word, without any contact for five full years.

From the beginning to the end, she is the one who loves to pretend to be pitiful the most, and she is also the one who is the most cruel.

Part2
"Du, Du..." Suddenly there was a knock on the door in the hall, the girl looked outside, and saw Ruan Duhuan standing there with her arms folded.

Seeing her turn around, she smiled and said, "I didn't bother you, did I?"

"No, no." The girl blushed again, as if she had done something she shouldn't have done just now.

Ruan Duhuan and Mu Liunian belonged to the same class and the same department. Both of them are excellent in the medical department. Whether it is B University or other universities, they all know their names. In addition, Ruan Duhuan often stays with Mu Liunian. Rumors and gossip spread involuntarily.

Ruan Duhuan is 1.7 meters tall, and his facial features are a bit more European and American. His personality is informal, and he doesn't give people a sense of superiority because of his excellence.But because of her popularity and appearance, people who don't know her still dare not get close to her, and some even dare not talk to her.

Ruan Duhuan was used to the shyness of girls treating him, so he greeted her, then walked up to Mu Liunian and asked, "Liu Nian, is this place almost ready? The lab is still waiting for you to go over."

He said "hmm" and stood up from his seat. Although Ruan Duhuan was 1.7 meters tall, he was still much shorter than Mu Liunian.He nodded to the girl as a greeting, then turned and walked towards the gate.

Ruan Duhuan had long been used to his distasteful personality, so he said "goodbye" to the little girl as an aftermath, and followed Mu Liunian's footsteps to go out together.

City G in autumn always looks too bleak. Before it is late autumn, the night wind is blowing, and the yellow leaves are falling all over the place.The temperature difference between day and night is very large. I wear thin long sleeves in the morning, but I have to wear a coat outside at night.

After Hou Hai came back, Mu Liunian went directly to the Conservatory of Music, so he still wore the black leather jacket with a short black V-neck T-shirt inside.In terms of clothing, he has never asked much, but his taste is very high, but a random piece of clothing is the kind that will definitely appear in fashion magazines next season.

Ruan Duhuan followed him for a long time, also looked at him for a long time, and finally walked up to him quickly, walking side by side with him.

"Senior Brother Mu's charm doesn't diminish wherever he goes. I was watching at the door just now. That little girl hadn't spoken to you yet, and her face was flushing all the time."

Mu Liunian never responded to her teasing. He said, "The lab may have to stay up late tonight. If you have nothing to do, you don't have to follow her."

The medical school often has various experiments to be done, especially a talent like Mu Liunian, who is the professor's favorite, and he will be asked to help with any experimental projects in the school.Fleeting Nian is extremely focused on everything, sometimes doing experiments all night, sometimes even staying in the laboratory for several days.

"Who said I'm fine?" Ruan Duhuan blinked and said, "My job is to help you buy midnight snacks."

Fleeting Nian has long been accustomed to her enthusiasm, so he stopped talking and walked straight to the medical school.

The medical school of University B has a long history. The laboratory has been renovated in recent years. Although the exterior is bright and beautiful, the interior still cannot stand the test of time, and it is a bit decayed and gloomy.In the words of a B student, the laboratory of the medical school is like a small hospital. A fluorescent lamp is lit at intervals in the long corridor. You can smell the smell of disinfectant, if a person walks in such a place, it's really a bit tight.

Although it looks eerie, such a place is not for casual people to enter and exit at will. Anyone with common sense knows that each laboratory in the Experimental Center of University B Medical School has spent huge sums of money from the state, and the equipment cost tens of millions.

Part3
As soon as they entered the laboratory, Mu Liunian and Ruan Duhuan put on white coats. There were already several people in white coats doing experiments inside. One of them saw Liunian coming in and waved to him and said, "The one who has been troubled before The problem has finally been analyzed, and you will have to work hard at night to write out the analysis report, Xiao Xu and the others will come back with the serum later, if Duhuan is all right, you can share the serum for us."

The person who spoke was Wan Zhiyang, a senior senior student who had determined to dedicate his life to the medical cause of the motherland since he was a child.His grades in school are self-evident, and he has a pretty good personality. He just smiles when he sees people, and he is very easy to talk to.

Ruan Duhuan originally wanted to find a reason to stay, so he was naturally relieved to hear him say this, and said with a smile: "Since Senior Brother Wan has asked, how can I refuse." Then he started to do things.

At this moment, Fleeting Nian has been quietly sitting beside the experimental equipment writing a report.He was dressed in a white coat, as usual, and occasionally turned his head to talk to Wan Zhiyang, his lips were very beautiful, his black eyes were calm, and the light above his head fell on his eyes when he occasionally raised his head, swaying Fine ripples.

Ruan Duhuan peeked at it for a moment, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.Ever since she got to know Mu Liunian, she discovered that there is a feeling in the world that doesn't need to be shown to others, and doesn't need to be too clingy, as long as he allows herself to stay quietly by his side is a kind of luck.

Such a quiet and busy night passed faster than the time of deep sleep. When Mu Liunian finished writing the report, he looked up and saw the sky gradually brightening outside the window.The laboratory was very quiet, and everyone else fell asleep on the table. He sorted out the report, walked to the bed, and looked at the gray sky outside.

Once upon a time, he always woke up at such a time, looking at the sleeping face next to him, the continuous breath, the little arm tightly hugging his arm, that posture, he wanted to protect it for the rest of his life.At that time, he secretly vowed in his heart that he would let the girl around him live a carefree life.

Fleeting Nian closed his eyes, his handsome face showed a touch of pain in the early morning.Enough, Mu Liunian, haven't you been passionate enough over the years?

Ruan Duhuan pushed open the door of the laboratory, and saw Mu Liunian standing in front of the window with his back to her, standing in such a condescending posture, like a god in the clouds, gazing at the world.It's just that the light was turned on brightly, and it looked a bit lonely when it was pouring on his shoulders.

Ruan Duhuan was intimidated by the word "lonely". Mu Liunian usually doesn't like to talk, but he is confident and confident. Words related to depression have never appeared in him.

She shook her head, lamenting that she had thought too much, and when she opened her eyes to look again, he had already turned around, looking at her with a pair of unfathomable eyes.

She raised the bag in her hand and said softly, "I bought some breakfast, let's go out and eat."

The air in the morning is always very fresh. I was locked up in the laboratory overnight, and when I walked out, I could smell the smell of green grass.

The two sat on chairs and had breakfast. Even though they had written a report all night, Mu Liunian didn't eat much. Ruan Duhuan kindly reminded: "You have to give a speech at the music department at ten o'clock later, so you should eat more." Keep up your strength."

There was still a faint "um", and Ruan Duhuan didn't say anything more.

She has always felt that the reason why she can stay by Liu Nian's side is probably because she knows how to look at him, when to talk a lot, and when it's best not to say anything, just be an air.

Part4
As usual, I get up at six o'clock on the first and last day.It is said that early morning is the best time for human memory, and she will wear headphones and books at 06:30 every day to recite vocabulary at the school's medical school.

Only at this time did she have the courage to approach here.It never occurred to her that a place would make her timid to approach it because of someone inside.

Most of the people who can enter B University are good students who study hard, so there are naturally many people like her who get up early and study in the morning.Different from high school, college students are relatively independent, doing their own things in the same environment without interfering with each other.

Every morning is the happiest time at the beginning and end of the year. Finding a place close to him seems to be a little closer to him, which makes her more motivated to learn her English well.I still remember that Luo Xi once asked her why she chose to major in English, and she only said that she was interested.In fact, it was a small dream of hers at the beginning. At that time, she lost a lot. The only thing she could rely on herself was to learn English well. She often thought, if... If one day she had enough courage, she would go to the United States Find the person she can't forget in her memory.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth inadvertently, adding a touch of warmth to the autumn morning.

There is a clear female voice in the earphones saying: "The important thing in life is to have a great aim, and the determination to attain it. (A very important thing in life is to find a great goal and make up your mind to achieve it.) "

She has always regarded fleeting time as her goal, always thinking that if she becomes outstanding, she will be qualified to approach him again.

Just when she was about to find a chair to sit down and read the words, she unexpectedly saw two figures sitting at the corner.

It turned out to be Mu Liunian and Ruan Duhuan.

Obviously they had spotted her a long time ago, Ruan Duhuan even smiled at her and beckoned her to go over.

Chu Mo only felt his brain numb, thinking that there was no way to escape, so he could only bite the bullet and walked up.

Moving in front of them at the speed of a tortoise, she looked at the ground with clear eyes, like a child who has done something wrong, and said softly: "Senior Sister Ruan, Liu...Brother Mu, good morning."

Because she hadn't met Mu Liunian at such a time for the whole half semester, so she took a fluke mentality and thought that he would not show up at the medical school in the early morning, but she didn't want to walk too much at night, and would Hit the devil.

It's just... If you ask her carefully, has she really never thought of meeting him here from the beginning to now?

The answer must be no, even if they don't dare to see him, I hope that God will show mercy and let them meet once in a while.

"Is there anything particularly attractive on the ground?" A playful voice.

"what?"

When Chu Mo looked up, she saw Ruan Duhuan smiling, "Otherwise, why do you keep your head down and don't look at people?"

At the beginning and end of the day, his face turned red.

Ruan Duhuan looked her up and down, and said with a smile, "You are really an obedient student at the beginning and end of the year. I think morning reading is almost a matter of my previous life. Since I went to college, I don't even want to touch English books."

Chu Mo laughed dryly twice, thanking her in her heart that she didn't ask "why didn't you come to the medical school to read words from the foreign language school?"

At this moment, Ruan Duhuan's cell phone rang suddenly, she picked it up, took a look, said to the two of them, "I'll answer the call first," and walked away.

I'm really afraid of what will come, only her and Liu Nian are left on the field, and they don't dare to look up at all.Mu Liunian's aura was too strong, she was afraid that she would not be able to help but look at him when she raised her head.

She looked left and right, but she didn't look at the person in the middle, and then her eyes were attracted by a few buns and soy milk on the chair, and she suddenly realized.

It turns out that Liu Nian and Senior Sister Ruan came here early in the morning to have breakfast, subconsciously flattened their mouths, and there were small bubbles of bitterness in their hearts. People eat breakfast in the cafeteria, and they are really affectionate , I brought them here, are you afraid of being disturbed by others?
Just when she was staring at the steamed stuffed bun soy milk, wishing to see a big hole in it, she saw a slender hand like jade carrying a bag of stuffed buns to her and asked, "Do you want to eat?"

Part5
Chumo subconsciously looked at the person holding the steamed stuffed bun, she was flattered, she blinked, then blinked again, and then stammered for a long time: "No, no, thank you." After finishing speaking, she felt like this again It's too bad, Liu Nian finally opened his mouth to talk to her, how could she refuse him like this?What if he gets angry and never talks to her again?
Thinking of this, she quickly reached out her hand and snatched back the bag that he was going to put down.

Then, Mu Liunian's hand stood there blankly.

Chu Mo was obviously more stunned than him, and it took him a while to explain: "I, I suddenly want to eat again."

Fleeting Nian glanced at her, Bing Ning's indifferent eyes showed no waves, as if she didn't care about her clumsy explanation at all.This situation can only bring her more embarrassment.

Chu Mo lowered her head and returned to the appearance of a child who had done something wrong, her pink face was full of remorse.

People are always like that, the more they want to behave better in front of the person they like, the more often it backfires.

Just when she was standing there holding the steamed stuffed bun at a loss, Ruan Duhuan came over after answering the phone, as if she didn't feel the change in the atmosphere here at all, she said: "The director of the music department suddenly called and said that yesterday The little girl who gave the speech suddenly had a high fever and couldn't come today, so she asked if Fleeting Nian could be alone."

Mu Liunian frowned. Originally, he was forced to go to a speech. He only agreed to play a piece of music on it, and didn't care about other things.Now that things have turned into this, his face that has always been impatient has darkened.

There is a tacit understanding in this world that I can know what is thinking in your heart without you talking.Ruan Duhuan can naturally guess the thoughts in Liu Nian's heart. From her personal point of view, she must be on Liu Nian's side, but not everyone can get used to his solitary personality, let alone this time it is music The dean of the department took the initiative to invite.

Ruan Duhuan suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and pointed to Chumo beside him and said: "Isn't Chumo from the English department? The speech must be good, and some English sentences in the manuscript must be a small case for her, or let her replace it?"

"no!"

Ruan Duhuan's proposal was rejected by Fleeting Nian as soon as she said it, she didn't understand: "Why?"

Mu Liunian didn't say the reason, and suddenly stood up from the chair, "If I say no, then I can't." He said in an unquestionable tone, and then said to Chu Mo: "Don't come here from now on."

The moment he turned around, it wasn't that he didn't see Chu Moji's pale face, and his wronged flat mouth, even the hand holding the bun was trembling, but he still left resolutely.

Ruan Duhuan looked at Fleeting Nian's back in astonishment, never seeing him make such a ruthless decision on a matter, without showing any sympathy to others.Although he usually treats people a little coldly, he is still polite and gracious, especially when dealing with girls, unless they go too far, otherwise he will not even give up the steps.

And look at Chu Mo, who was so pale that he seemed about to faint in the next second... these two people!She sighed, stepped forward and patted Chu Mo on the shoulder, comforting like a big sister: "Don't pay too much attention, he may have written a report all night and was in a bad mood."

Wen Yan Chumo's eyes were half-downcast, laughing out of his wits: "Senior Sister, don't comfort me anymore, I know he doesn't like me."

The corner of Ruan Duhuan's mouth twitched while smiling, wondering if the little girl should be so honest, so that she didn't know what to say to comfort her.

Part6
Ruan Duhuan didn't see Mu Liunian on the way back to the dormitory, so he guessed that he must have returned to the laboratory, so he went back the same way and found him in the laboratory.

Wan Zhiyang and the others had already left to catch up on sleep, and he was the only one left to check something next to the equipment.She walked up and said with a smile: "Isn't the report just half finished? We still have half a semester left for this experiment, so you don't have to be so anxious. There are still three hours before the speech, why don't you go back and take a break?"

"No." The three-hour break meant nothing to him.

Ruan Duhuan casually took out the notebook on Liunian's desktop, and saw that the items in it were categorized and labeled clearly, and some of them had records made by him himself, so he couldn't help but marvel in his heart.For the things he likes, he always does it so carefully that he can't even find the slightest flaw.

"Actually, did you do it on purpose just now?"

"Ok?"

"Based on what I know about you, although you have a cold personality, you are not someone who loses your temper easily, because none of them can really get into your heart. But I just mentioned a little bit about letting Chumo take the stage instead of a girl. How do you react?" It's that intense, Fleeting Years, in fact, you still can't let her go, right?"

"What do you want to know?"

"I want to know why you are so opposed to her coming to the stage. You know that this piano lecture was personally given by the dean, so you must go. Since you are determined to only play the piano, you must find someone to give the lecture, right?"

"Is it hard to find someone at random?"

"It's not difficult, but I can't find a more suitable one than the beginning and the end. I mean the image and temperament. And...a certain understanding of the piano. I heard that although she is an English major, she is also very good at the piano. A soft spot."

After analyzing the pros and cons, Mu Liunian still didn't move, and replied blankly while doing his own thing: "I said, anyone can do it, except her."

Unexpectedly, there was still only this sentence, Ruan Duhuan's expression darkened slightly, and he didn't speak for a while.

Finally, I smiled wryly, and said: "Fleeting Years, these years, I have trusted you as a friend. Basically, I will raise my hands and stand by your side for things you say you can't do. What else can you say?" Did you tell me?"

Even such heartfelt words didn't seem to move him, Mu Liunian's eyes were still on the microscope, without moving a bit.

Ruan Duhuan felt like a self-important clown, with a feeling of depression in his heart and nowhere to vent, he stood up from the chair quickly, turned around and was about to leave.

But he didn't expect his weak voice to sound behind him: "She has been afraid of strangers since she was a child, and she will be so nervous that she can't even speak when she comes on stage."

Ruan Duhuan turned around in surprise, only to see that Mu Liunian had put down the things in his hands and raised his head.

Facing the morning sun, his dark eyes were gloomy, seemingly ruthless, indifferent, and irrelevant, but affectionate, greedy, and full of thoughts.

It was only then that Ruan Duhuan found out that Chu Mo had been on stage several times when she was a child, and the most serious time was when she fainted nervously on stage.Since then, no one in the family dared to let her stand on stage.

These years have passed, and it seems that even she herself has forgotten such a small problem, but he remembers it deeply.

Ruan Duhuan couldn't help sighing in his heart, Mu Liunian, what kind of man are you?In the eyes of others, you are always so cold, alienated from the world, but who knows that you are the most affectionate, so affectionate that no one can understand.
