The place where Xie You lived when he was studying was a three-story building facing the river.
The exterior and interior decoration were very old.
The house is cleaned regularly, knowing that the owner is coming over.
The rectangular mahogany dining table is covered with a brand new tablecloth and napkins.
There are beautiful flowers in the vase.
The window glass is clean and bright, and you can see the gorgeous sunset on the horizon at a glance.
There are several thick music theory books scattered on the sofa in the small living room, and there are also a few pages of music scores and a dark green pen on the coffee table.
After a few years, everything still remains the same as it was when Xie You left, as if the room Time has frozen.
Standing at the entrance, Xie You seemed a little timid, not daring to step in.
It seemed that if he took another half step forward, the tightly sealed old time would be revealed.
The driver brought the luggage in.
Yu Nian thanked him and closed the door.
Seeing Xie You standing there in a daze, he took two steps forward, stood side by side with Xie You, held Xie You's hand without hesitation, and said with a smile, "When I came in, I saw the roses outside the window sill were still blooming.
They were very beautiful."
He clasped his fingers into Yu Nian's fingers with his backhand, as if he had gained strength and courage.
Xie You led Yu Nian to the window, "You can also see from inside," he added a few more words, "When the sun just rises in the morning , the sunshine will cast the shadow of the rose flower on the table, it is beautiful. " Yu Nian opened the window, touched the white pollen petals of the rose, turned his head and smiled at Xie You, "This rose is so lush."
Infected by Yu Nian's smile, Xie You's eyes softened, "Well, you can also see it from the window of the study upstairs."
The two walked up the narrow wooden stairs one after the other.
When they reached the second floor, Xie You took Yu Nian into the study first.
Sure enough, there were several roses blooming outside the window.
After coming out of the study, after hesitating for a few seconds, Xie You took Yu Nian to the door of another room and introduced, "This is the piano room."
The piano room is not very large, and the windows face the river.
The evening breeze is gentle.
The most conspicuous thing in the room is a mahogany Steinway upright piano.
Yu Nian did not go in rashly, but asked, "Did you practice piano here before?"
Xie You nodded, "Well, when I get up in the morning, I will practice for an hour before going out, and when I get home at night, I will practice for another three hours.
On the two weekends, if there are no other arrangements, I will practice from morning to night."
He looked attentively Falling on the piano with the lid closed, the voice was very soft, "I like the feeling of my fingers pressing on the black and white keys.
I will be very happy."
Yu Nian looked at Xie You's side face, and the faint sadness in his heart suddenly became stronger.
From childhood to adulthood, he practiced repeatedly every day for countless days and nights.
Without lively social activities or all kinds of entertainment, Xie You devoted all his time in the past ten years to the piano keys.
But fate seemed to have taken a sharp turn, shattering all his plans.
Yu Nian couldn't bear it and gently pulled Xie You's hand.
When the other party's eyes fell on him, he curled his lips and smiled, "I can't sleep now, why don't we go for a walk?"
The afterglow of the setting sun has dissipated, the night has fallen, and the street lights along the river have lit up one after another.
The wind was a bit strong, so Yu Nian reached out to button Xie You's windbreaker buttons, and then buttoned his own.
Not far away, Yu Nian was chattering about the progress of his album production, complaining that one song was too difficult to write, and that he had to dig his own holes and dance by himself.
After recording it several times, he was still not satisfied with the recording.
At this time, an uncertain voice sounded from behind the two of them, "Is it Xie You?"
The pronunciation of the word "Xie You" is very standard.
Yu Nian keenly noticed that when he heard these words, Xie You's pupils shrank, and he slowly turned around as if he had made a mental preset.
An old man with gray hair was looking over hesitantly.
He was wearing a three-piece plaid suit, his glasses were perched on the bridge of his nose, and his attire was neat and formal.
When he saw Xie You's appearance clearly, a joyful smile spread across his face, "God, it's really you."

When the other party walked over quickly, Xie You nervously hid his right hand behind his back, clenched it hard, and said in a hoarse voice, "Teacher Brundle, long time no see."
After being overjoyed, Brundle looked at Xie You with relief in his eyes, "I thought I would never see you near Leto again."
He laughed loudly again, "Meeting you here made me feel like I went back a few years ago, but you have changed a lot compared to before.
Just now, I wasn’t sure whether you were the amazing student I was.”
As he said that, he raised his wrist and looked at the time, "It's too bad, there's not enough time.
There is a performance by my favorite band in the concert hall at eight o'clock."
Xie You answered subconsciously, "Youth Symphony Orchestra" "Do you remember?"
Brundle nodded repeatedly, "Yes, that's them.
I remember you liked them very much before."
Then he invited again, "I can get as many tickets as you and your friends want."
Do you want to go together?"
His lips moved, but Xie You quickly refused, "We still have things to do, sorry."
Although disappointed, Brundle did not force it.
He was in a hurry and left in a hurry after chatting for a few more words.
Xie You held Yu Nian's hand, put it into the pocket of his windbreaker, and explained, "That's the teacher who taught me music theory."
Yu Nian rolled his eyes and said, "After a few years, he still remembers you."
"Well," Xie You said with a slight smile and nostalgia in his eyes, "I always sit in the first row in class.
He likes to ask me difficult questions, but I can answer them correctly every time.
He said that I make him Feeling defeated."
Yu Nian laughed, "When I was studying in the past, my teacher said something similar.
The questions he gave for the in-class test were very difficult.
He proudly said that no one in the class could answer them, but I didn't expect that I got them right."
The two took a walk to a small restaurant by the river for dinner, and watched the night view along the way for a while.
When I got home, Xie You was in front.
Yu Nian took two steps, stopped at the corner of the stairs, hesitated for two seconds, and shouted, "Xie You."
Xie You turned around and lowered his head from the steps a few steps higher, "What?"
He tightened his fingers on the railing and smiled.
His voice was light but firm, "I want to tell you that if, I mean if, you want to play the piano, I will be your most loyal listener."
After the words fell, the surrounding area became quiet.
After a long time, Xie You responded with a hesitant voice, "Okay."
Entering the piano room again, Xie You took two steps towards the piano, then stopped and looked at Yu Nian.
Yu Nian had a smile in his eyes, "It's okay."
After saying that, he reached out and held Xie You's wrist, and led him to the piano bench.
After Xie You sat down, Yu Nian found a seat on the small sofa by the window.
He propped his chin on his hand and stared at Xie You's profile in a daze.
He can understand Xie You's anxiety and caution.
Piano and music are the things he holds on the altar in his heart.
Only with the greatest respect and the most efforts can he be qualified to touch them.
It would be blasphemous to not be able to put your whole heart into it, to be able to play only flawed music.
In his sight, Xie You carefully lifted the wooden piano cover, and the simple black and white keys appeared in front of him.
Straightening his back and taking a gentle breath, Xie You placed his slightly trembling fingers on the keys, but did not dare to press them for a long time.
Until Yu Nian stood behind Xie You, put his hand on the back of Xie You's slightly cold hand, and gently moved down.
With a "clang" sound, the crisp sound of the piano swayed in the air.
Yu Nian sat back on the small sofa, propped up his chin again, and looked at Xie You.
Not long after, the sound of the piano started to sound like a continuous ripple of water.

Xie You sat on the piano stool, eyes closed, and his fingertips seemed to have memories.
He pressed the keys and accurately embedded the notes into the melody.
Yu Nian curled up lazily on the sofa, listening to the music, as if the stars were all shining before his eyes.
When the song ended and the last note faded away, Xie You opened his eyes and looked at Yu Nian subconsciously, with unconcealable nervousness and anxiety in his eyes.
He didn't even dare to ask, how was my playing?
Yu Nian sat upright and clapped softly, his eyes filled with starlight, "You played it very well, and there was not a single note missed in the entire serenade.
It's really great."
The tense figure relaxed.
Xie You was embarrassed and said, "I have been reviewing."
Hearing this sentence, the tip of Yu Nian's nose felt sour.
In the past few years, Xie You has never touched the piano again, so it can be imagined that this review may be in the dead of night, with eyes closed, fingers pressed to the air, playing and connecting over and over again, just because he is afraid that one day, I can no longer remember the correct melody.
Yu Nian stepped on the soft carpet with bare feet, hugged Xie You's back from behind, rested his chin on the other person's shoulder, and whispered, "Xie You, let's collaborate on a song."
"You play the piano and I sing.
It's just the two of us in the whole song, okay?"
Staring down at the black and white piano keys, Xie You finally responded, "Okay."
After living in the small building for two days, Yu Nian bought groceries and cooked, and Xie You washed the dishes.
While Xie You was working remotely in the study, Yu Nian would sit on the carpet, holding a pen and writing songs on paper.
However, after scrapping seven or eight drafts, I still couldn't write a satisfactory melody.
After closing the computer, Xie You stood up, bent down and picked up Yu Nian, who was staring blankly at a certain point in the air, from the ground.
He walked all the way to the cloakroom before putting him down.
He leaned over and kissed Yu Nian's forehead, "Nian Nian, it's time to change."
The clothes are out."
Yu Nian was still a little dazed, and it took a few seconds for him to react before he quickly responded, "Okay."
Xie You put on a long black windbreaker with a hand-tailored black shirt underneath, making his eyes look deep and his brows stern.
Yu Nian rummaged around and simply put on a white sweatshirt and a simple and casual denim short jacket.
It was raining outside.
When he opened the door, Xie You opened a big black umbrella, held Yu Nian in his arms, and walked out.
The car drove all the way to the floating restaurant.
He Xiao had already sent someone over in advance to book the place.
The restaurant is surrounded by glass walls, allowing an unobstructed 360-degree view of the city.
Sitting down by the window with Xie You, Yu Nian unconsciously hummed an unorganized tune, humming, and suddenly raised his hand to ask the waiter to bring a piece of paper and pen.
His handwriting was messy and he wrote a string of notes on the paper.
Yu Nian held the pen, tilted his head and smiled at Xie You who was looking at him quietly, "Let's call the song we collaborated on a serenade." gd1806102:
