Flight of the Bumblebee

Shi Leping sat back, leaned on the back of the chair, and looked out the window blankly, but the scenery outside the car window was not as good as his eyes.Wang Sheng squinted, and suddenly smiled and said, "What's the matter with you? You seem to care about your brother very much. You haven't seen him enthusiastically looking for him in the past five years."

"Who said I didn't look for him, I just couldn't find him."

"He runs around every day with this passport. Do you know where he is?" Wang Sheng said with his eyes straight on the road ahead.

"I also can't stand my mother. I wanted him to go out for a few years, so I told my mother that I couldn't find anyone. My mother didn't care about her own son. After returning to China for a few days, she immediately went to Canada. She refused to look for her even pretending, as if something was chasing her. A few years ago, she could know where he was, but this year, she completely disappeared. I thought he was murdered for money. I didn't expect to live well, if I knew it earlier, I wouldn't have gone to him."

"You said something against your will again."

"Not against his will, no one cares about him anyway."

Knowing what he meant, Wang Sheng chuckled lightly and said, "You are blaming your mother."

When he said this, Shi Leping didn't make any excuses.He does have a deep resentment towards his mother in his heart, and it will probably never heal for the rest of his life.Xing Yan's departure has nothing to do with his mother. After so many years, he vaguely remembers seeing his brother who had been separated for many years in Vienna. His face was devastated, and he could not feel the vitality of young people at all. Such a person cannot be found among the inexperienced classmates.

After getting on the highway, Wang Sheng asked him if he wanted to go for a drive. Shi Leping looked out the window and thought for a while, then said, "Go to S University."

Wang Sheng was silent for a while before asking: "Is she back?"

Xeroxing hummed in a low voice, but did not answer directly.

Wang Sheng laughed, and he said without beginning and end: "I don't understand you."

Shi Leping turned to look at him, and said slightly dissatisfied: "What do you not understand?"

Wang Sheng kept looking straight ahead, and he said: "Xiaoxiao grew up with you, if you really liked her, why didn't you show any signs when you were young, and you didn't say you liked her until five years ago, did you suffer from something? Stimulate."

He turned a corner and got on the viaduct, which was the way to S University.

Shi Leping oops, saying you don't understand, Wang Sheng sneered quietly.

The latter two had nothing to say.

Wang Sheng drove the car under the flyover opposite the school gate and slammed on the brakes.Shi Leping said, won't you let me in, Wang Sheng excused that I was a foreign vehicle, and I would be stopped by the guards when I got to the gate.Shi Leping didn't go to a domestic university, so he didn't know about it, but he didn't want to go the wrong way, and refused to get out of the car even when it stopped. He said to Wang Sheng: "There is a crossroad ahead, you should take it I'll send it to the door, the small auditorium is still far away."

Wang Sheng originally had a dark fire hidden in his heart, but he couldn't laugh or cry when he heard what he said, so he simply pulled the gear and restarted the car, and said to him with a smile: "You are lazy."

He sent him to the door, when Shi Leping was about to get out of the car, Wang Sheng stopped him.The guard came over and knocked on the car window, asking him what was the matter. Wang Sheng said he was looking for someone. The guard took out a visitor registration book and asked him to sign his name and license plate number, and let them in.When the car slowly drove away from the gate, Shi Leping turned around from behind and said to Wang Sheng: "Okay, you, I was almost fooled by you!"

Wang Sheng smiled and said: "I'm not a student here. If I don't understand their rules, I just drive in to try my luck."

He was driving on the main road of the school. Shi Leping didn't know where the small auditorium was, and it was his first time here. Wang Sheng could only ask everyone he met.After walking half a circle around the school, I finally found the small auditorium near the west gate. Shi Leping also complained that he would have entered through the west gate if he knew it earlier, so he didn't have to go around the school.Wang Sheng parked the car in the parking space, Shi Leping got out of the car, and he also got out of the car, asking, "When did she come back?" "Last night." "Does she know about Xing Yan? "Shi Leping's hands paused, and he closed the car door and said: "I'm going to tell her now." Wang Sheng was puzzled: "It's good if she doesn't know, and she never said that she likes him, don't you still have a chance?" ?”

Hearing this sentence, Shi Leping felt depressed. He lowered his head and sighed, "I have no chance to like it or not. The incident five years ago was a knot in her heart, and no one can untie it except me." Brother. And..." He raised his head, looked at Wang Sheng with a wry smile, and said, "What do adults say whether they like it or not? I'm almost 30 years old, so let's do whatever happens."

After Wang Sheng got out of the car, he leaned his arms on the open car door, looked at Shi Leping and said, "Is 30 years old not worthy of dating? You have been in the past five years..."

"Don't mention it, accompany me to talk under the tree over there for a while." He stopped what Wang Sheng was going to say, pointed to the bench under a lush century-old tree in front of the auditorium, and suggested.

Wang Sheng closed the car door and walked to him, asking him, "Aren't you going in now?"

He said: "Let's not go in now, she should be practicing piano now, I am afraid of disturbing her, I will go in to find her after lunch time."

Wang Sheng laughed at himself, and said to himself, "You really think about her."

They sat in chairs, and the campus was empty on Saturday, when students were on vacation.Wang Sheng raised his legs, put his hands behind his back, and looked up at the lush branches and leaves covering the sky.Shi Leping lowered his head, crossed his hands, and looked at the ground.

"How old do you think this tree is?" Wang Sheng asked boredly.

Shi Leping also raised his head, followed Wang Sheng, glanced roughly, and said copiously: "I don't know, maybe one or two hundred years old."

"I don't think so."

The two stopped talking again.

Wang Sheng seemed to have just noticed that he was depressed, and said with a smile: "Are you still nervous when you see your little junior sister? Don't, I will look down on you if you are like this."

He said sullenly: "I'm not nervous to see her, but I don't know what to say in a while."

Wang Sheng thought for a while: "Are you making trouble for your brother?"

Shi Leping looked up at him and said, "Do you think I should tell her everything I saw?"

"You said that he lived with a man? Tell me, there's nothing wrong with it. It's good to make her give up."

"You saw that man too, what do you think of him?"

He said bluntly: "I don't think much of him, he is sloppy and can't clean himself up. I don't know how someone like your brother can think of him."

"Maybe he has other good things that we haven't seen."

"Maybe."

Shi Leping looked at his watch and said, "The time is almost up."

Wang Sheng also raised his hand and glanced at his watch, it was almost twelve o'clock.He said, "Aren't you waiting to go in?"

"Don't wait, she will come out soon."

Shi Leping stood up from the chair, while Wang Sheng was still sitting on it, he said, "Should I still wait for you?"

He thought for a while and said, "No need."

Wang Sheng snorted and said, "That's right, you're going to have dinner with your little fairy later, so I won't be making light bulbs."

"Well, whatever you want, I'll go in first." Shi Leping said, walked to the door of the auditorium without looking back, and entered.

S University is a well-known conservatory of music in China. Xiaoxiao's parents were both teachers here during her lifetime. She lived in the teacher's building for a while when she was a child, so all the teachers here know her.Every time she goes back to China, she has to come back here, Shi Leping knows, so he came early, one is for work, and the other is to see her, anyway, seeing her and work this time will not conflict.

It is said to be a small auditorium, but it can accommodate hundreds of people. It is the largest auditorium with the most modern architectural style in the nearby universities. Clubs or groups from other schools will also rent it from time to time to perform dramas or hold small concerts.Xiaoxiao likes to play the violin in auditoriums where no one is there. She said that her parents often brought her here when she was a child, saying that only by practicing in a similar environment can she play the violin sound required by the grand theater.

The auditorium was paved with white marble-like tiles. He walked through a long corridor and finally found a thick wooden door with a vermilion lacquer border.Shi Leping put his hand on the half-closed door, took a deep breath, and pushed it open.

The audience seats in the auditorium were not lit, it was dark, and his eyes couldn't adapt to the light inside for a while.After he closed the door and cut off the sunlight outside, he gradually saw clearly the person standing under the spotlight in the center of the stage.

"Csárdás", the famous gypsy dance song, Shi Leping heard it from a distance through the door.She used the audio equipment, and the teachers in the school are also generous to her. Usually, the school theater troupe has to rehearse the repertoire, and the curtains around here have to be drawn to light up, and the stereo is not turned on. The lines are all yelled. For practice, set up the microphones on the stage.There is probably someone who accompanied her here to help her get the equipment, but now she doesn't know where to go, and it seems that there are only two of them in the whole small auditorium.

She was pulling to the climax of the song. Although she heard the sound of the door opening, she saw the figure of the man out of the corner of her eye, so she didn't get distracted after all.

Shi Leping came in and found a chair near the front and sat down. This was the best position in the entire auditorium, where he could see people clearly and enjoy the music well.Since this is a conservatory, all the equipment is complete. There is a Steinway piano on the stage with the cover closed. It should be that someone will perform here in the past two days, and it has been arranged in advance.

The spotlight fell on her alone, Xiaoxiao closed her eyes, her expression was calm, but the sound of the piano became excited, as if a natural anger burst out from the strings.This song shouldn't have been pulled like this. Today, she is in a bad mood, even Shi Leping can hear it.

When she finished playing the piece, he quickly stood up, applauded and said "Br□□o" very applaudingly.Xiaoxiao put down the piano and glanced at him.A man suddenly came out from behind the curtain next to him, said a few words to her on the stage, she nodded in response, and the man left after listening.She turned around and walked into a place where the spotlights could not reach on the stage, took out a piano case from under the Steinway piano, put the violin in, and walked over with the case in front of her with both hands, standing Looking at Shi Leping from the front of the stage, he said, "Why are you here? Didn't you say we will meet in the recording studio?"

Shi Leping smiled and said, "It's okay, I just want to have dinner with you."

"Unfortunately, Teacher Wang said today that he would clean up the dust for me. Oh, Teacher Wang is my mother's old classmate, and she is also in this school."

"That's unfortunate..."

Xiaoxiao thought he had finished speaking and was about to leave, but Shi Leping stopped her: "Wait a minute, I have something to tell you."

She turned around: "What words?"

The man was adjusting the audio equipment in the background just now, when a piercing electric sound pierced through the eardrums, both of them shrank their necks in unison.After the sound of electric current, he seemed to be in a daze, staring at her blankly, Xiaoxiao asked again: "What do you want to say to me?"

"I found Ayan."

That expressionless face finally took on color, and even the tone of his voice changed: "What did you say?"

Shi Leping let out a long breath, he said: "I found Ayan, in this city, living in..."

But those eyes suddenly dimmed again, and her tone returned to normal, she interrupted him: "Forget it, you don't have to tell me."

She walked off the stage in a hurry and was about to go out towards the door. Shi Leping raised his voice against her back, and he said deliberately: "I know you don't want to know his whereabouts. He left you alone on the stage back then." You have a psychological shadow. Five years have passed, and you are not the only one affected by this incident. My mother went to Canada, and I stayed in China to make records. Although my father returned to Vienna, in order to grasp his Whereabouts, you are in China for five months of the year. You have been staying in Tokyo for many years, and you don’t want to come back. I just tell you this: A Yan disappeared for a year, and came back safely. Then you can do whatever you want What do you think, can you see love?"

Xiaoxiao turned around, looked at him and said, "At the beginning, I was relieved to let him go outside alone. He disappeared for a year, and now I'm looking for him again."

Hearing that her tone was full of dissatisfaction with him, Shi Leping felt both funny and irritated. He laughed at himself and said, "So you don't blame him, you blame me for not bringing him back properly. You really like His other mother, his biological mother may not care so much about him."

The two of them grew up together, and bickering is very common, but they haven't seen each other for a long time, so the quarrel has become a little alienated.

Xiaoxiao said coldly: "I don't want to imagine her."

Shi Leping clapped his hands exaggeratedly, and said without emotion: "That's great! Everyone doesn't want to see her!"

"Your father doesn't think so."

The two looked at each other and were silent for a while, and it was Shi Leping who broke the silence first: "Forget it, I won't quarrel with you. I know you have been very sad this year, and thought he was dead. I will tell you now, A Yan is still alive and well, but he said he doesn't want to come back. I will send the address to your mobile phone in a while, and you will show it to the taxi driver and he will understand. He lives in a remote place, and the taxi may not know where it is , I will go back and draw a road map for you..."

While Shi Leping was talking, Xiaoxiao walked out, and he seemed to be unable to stop her footsteps even if he raised his voice a little later.She seemed to have made up her mind that she didn't want to see Xing Yan again, but Shi Leping knew that she definitely didn't think so.Now it's just two people who can't get love tormenting each other. If that's the case, it's better to let him be the good person and fulfill her.

"His hands are useless! He can't play the piano anymore!" Shi Leping almost roared these words in the empty auditorium, and there was even an echo, echoing in rows of empty seats.

Useless... useless... useless... useless...

"What did you say?" Sure enough, her face changed drastically, and she stopped suddenly.

"I don't know what happened in the past five years, but he is not what he used to be. I don't need to say how important hands are to a pianist."

"He can't play the piano anymore..." Not only did Xiaoxiao's expression change, but even her voice seemed unacceptable.Shi Leping remembered: Oh, by the way, what she loved at first was his talent, how could he forget those hands that could play melodies that others couldn't play, the sympathy between geniuses, Ben and him Such a mediocre person has nothing to do with it.

He also doesn't know whether Xing Yan can recover to the level he was five years ago. It can be seen that he has suffered a lot in these years, and it is likely that he will not be able to.It's just that before there is any factual basis, Shi Leping realizes that his nonsense seems to be doing it on purpose to make Xiaoxiao give up.Among them, there are two layers of window paper that have not been pierced or talked about, but they all know each other well.Xiaoxiao likes Xing Yan, he likes Xiaoxiao, it seems like a love triangle, but in reality it is a knot, Xing Yan is detached, leaving only the two of them unable to extricate themselves in their unrequited love.

If only he could be a little more chic.

However, once the words were spoken, it was difficult to take them back. Shi Leping could only force himself to continue: "He works as a porter in a supermarket, and lives in a dilapidated house with a small white-collar worker in the company."

"He's working as a porter..." Xiaoxiao looked shocked, with an expression that she couldn't remember the meaning after hearing the word, as if she was frightened by Xing Yan's current situation described by Shi Leping, so that later I didn't listen to the words.

Shi Leping added: "He has suffered a lot, and you will understand when you see him."

Xiaoxiao stood there blankly, he couldn't bear to look any longer, and hurried away from her.

Wang Sheng was still waiting for him outside, leaning against the car with mottled shadows, throwing a pile of cigarette butts on the ground.Seeing him coming out, Wang Sheng quickly stamped out half of the cigarette in his hand, greeted him with a playful smile, and said in an unscrupulous way: "Where's your little fairy." Shi Leping stared back fiercely, staring Feeling bored again, Ai Ai sighed and said to him: "Take me to dinner, I'm tired today, I don't want to go anywhere, and I have to be busy with recording tomorrow morning."

He sent the address to Xiaoxiao in the car, and then sat in the car with his eyes closed.Wang Sheng joked that he looked like an old man, he either sighed or slept all day long.Shi Leping snorted through his nose and ignored him.
