Love you No.17 years

Lu Ming smiled dryly, and said, "Um, I didn't even know that you brought her here on a blind date, I haven't seen her much..."

"That's a bit of an impression anyway?" Xinran's mother said, "She has a very stable job, and she is also a teacher, and she is still in a public school. You two happen to be in the same class, and you will teach your children together in the future. Then your children will be very promising, yes no?"

"Forehead……"

Xie Chenjun pushed the cart away without looking back and said, "Mr. Lu, I'll wait for you at the freezer."

"Eh? Oh, okay..."

"Okay, let's go, young man," Xinran's mother came over again, "Now tell me what you really think, do you think that girl is not bad? If you like it, I will make an appointment for you again?"

"No need, mother Xinran, thank you for your kindness."

"Miss Lu, you are almost thirty, don't be alone anymore. Many girls around me are asking about you. I heard that you are tall and handsome, and you can play the piano. Everyone likes you..."

"interesting……"

"Or if you don't like this one, I can change it for you?" Xinran's mother blinked and said, "What kind do you like? Introverted? Or extroverted? Or married, I know someone who is single and has a baby." Young mother, very pretty—”

Seeing that Xie Chenjun's figure was getting farther and farther away, and he was about to lose sight, Lu Ming anxiously interrupted the woman in front of him, and said, "Okay, Mommy Xinran, I won't consider the blind date for now. To be honest, I really want to I have my own, so I won't delay other girls..."

"Ah? My heart belongs to me now? Who is it? Where do I work? Could it be from the local area? Otherwise, why didn't even Mr. Lu help clean up at home—"

"Uh, haha, it can't be his fault... I have to buy something, I have something to do in a while, let's talk next time, bye."

"Hey, hey—"

Lu Ming left in a hurry.After going around several shelves, I finally got rid of Xinran's mother, and finally found Xie Chenjun who was picking yogurt in front of the freezer.

Xie Chenjun glanced at him coldly, and said, "Mr. Lu, have you chatted?"

"Uh, yes..."

What's the matter with this inexplicable tension... Lu Ming was puzzled.Did he say something wrong?Why is there a mysterious sense of déjà vu that "a catastrophe is imminent"...

"Does Teacher Lu take other students now?" Xie Chenjun said suddenly, "Except for Xiaoyu."

"Well, I brought a few."

"Oh……"

"what happened?"

"It's nothing."

Displeasure is clearly written all over his face... Lu Ming laughed in his heart.

"My, just now—"

"I just think," Xie Chenjun said again, "if I were Xiao Yu, I would definitely be jealous."

"what?"

"He used to be your only apprentice. Now that you have more students, you can give him less care—he has had trouble with you, right?"

"It's awkward," Lu Ming smiled. "It's awkward every day, but it shouldn't be because of this. How could his stupid little brain hold these things..."

Xie Chenjun remained silent, his face puffed up slightly.Lu Ming looked at him quietly, thinking that it was you who were clearly unhappy.

But Xie Chenjun, who can lose his temper, is actually quite cute.

"Actually, I didn't want to bring more students," Lu Ming explained to him. "It's because I have more time on weekends. After you stopped coming, Xiao Yu only came for one day. Anyway, I am idle, so I just Just teach a few more."

"That's all my fault," Xie Chenjun raised his eyes and said, "If I hadn't always been with you, you would have brought a few more students."

"Uh, that's not what I meant..."

"But……"

Xie Chenjun's hand holding the yogurt stopped in mid-air, his eyebrows were downcast, and his face was full of disappointment.

"But what?"

"At that time, I only felt very peaceful and relaxed when I was with Teacher Lu."

"is it?"

"Ah."

Lu Ming nodded.He could imagine that it would be suffocating for a moment in a home like his parents'...

"It feels like Teacher Lu has been protecting me..."

"!"

Lu Ming was startled.He suddenly remembered that night a few years ago, Xie Chenjun spoke to him in the same tone outside his car window.

At that time, Xie Chenjun was not as talkative as he is now, and he didn't like talking to him very much.But that day he unexpectedly expressed his concern and gratitude to Lu Ming, which made Lu Ming unable to bear to recall that scene for a long time...

Lu Ming scratched his head and smiled dryly. He who is "a little old" has tasted "blush" for a long time...

"But I'm not a child now," Xie Chenjun raised his head and said firmly, "I don't need an adult's protection anymore."

"..."

Lu Ming put his hand down again.Well, as long as you're happy...

It was completely dark when we left the supermarket.Lu Ming didn't come by car, because his home is only about one kilometer away from here, and he usually walks here for exercise.

And Xie Chenjun didn't intend to take a taxi home, he seemed to want to accompany Lu Ming for a walk.The two agreed, Lu Ming helped him take the bag of things in his hand, but he seemed even more unhappy.

"I told you I'm not a child anymore..." Xie Chenjun zipped his jacket up to his chin, hiding his face in his collar and whispered.

"Then I can carry it for you too," Lu Ming said with a smile, "It doesn't take much effort for me to carry it."

"I don't have trouble carrying it..."

"Okay, I get it, can I let you carry it next time?"

"..."

The two walked slowly along the dimly lit street.My hometown is different from a big city, the pedestrians are not in such a hurry, and the shops on the street are not very lively.

But Xie Chenjun still likes it here.It's quiet here, the pace is slow, and you might meet someone you know by walking two steps, although the "acquaintance" they met just now made Xie Chenjun not very happy.

He remembered the thing that made him most unhappy.He deliberately didn't mention it when he was in the supermarket, but now he's thinking about his words, thinking about how to ask it calmly.

"That one just now..." he said cautiously, "That aunt said that she introduced... a blind date for you? Right?"

"Huh?" Lu Ming looked at him, with a smile on his lips, "Yeah, what's the matter?"

"Then, Miss Lu, do you like her..."

"How is it possible," Lu Ming said with a smile, "I didn't even look at it carefully—by the way, when that girl and Xinran's mother came to my house to attend the piano class, I thought she wanted to learn too, but I told them that I didn't want to. Harvest year students—”

"Why don't you harvest adult students?" Xie Chenjun asked.

"It's not easy for adults to learn piano..." Lu Mingdao, "And adults don't go for exams and grades, maybe they just learn it because of interest, so I'm not very happy to teach it."

"Can't you learn piano just because of interest..."

"That's not what I mean," Lu Ming said patiently, "It's that the teaching methods will be different. For example, someone asked me if I could play a certain piece well after learning for a while. If I really wanted to teach him to play that piece well, I would There is no need to start teaching the basic skills, of course, after learning, he may only play that one piece."

"Then, can't you learn the basic skills?"

"Yes, but the progress will be very slow. Because the fingers are basically shaped, and it is difficult for adults to spend several years on boring etudes. Even if they do, it will get twice the result with half the effort. It is not as efficient as learning when they were young."

"Well……"

"However, not every musical instrument is like this," Lu Ming said again. "Classical musical instruments that are more difficult, such as piano and violin, may require children's skills, but guitars don't. On the contrary, guitars are easier for adults to learn, with enough fingers. Big, don’t worry about pain anymore—did your fingers often get blisters when you first touched the guitar?”

Xie Chenjun nodded, and said: "Well, I often get hot and red, and then blisters. After the blisters become cocoons, a layer of skin will peel off, and the tender meat that grows will continue to blister next time..."

Lu Ming bared his teeth, why did it hurt so much when he said it?If Xie Chenjun's thin-skinned and tender hands were really blistered and peeled off, it would be enough to make people feel distressed...

"No wonder my roommate asked me to learn guitar," Xie Chenjun said again, "his major is piano, but he refused to teach me, saying that he won't learn anything in a short time, maybe he hasn't practiced an etude yet. I'm not interested anymore..."

"Have you ever asked him to learn piano?" Lu Ming quickly captured a certain message, "Then why didn't you learn when I asked you if you wanted to learn when you were young?"

"I……"

Seeing Lu Ming's displeased expression, he quickly tried to explain: "At that time, well, I was a little afraid of my parents."

"Oh?" Lu Ming raised his eyebrows.

"If I say I want to learn the piano, they will definitely let me learn it. But they will definitely use the piano as a new 'assessment indicator', if I fail to meet their requirements, they will scold me..."

Xie Chenjun's face showed the expression he had when he was a child, and Lu Ming's heart softened all of a sudden:

"That's right, I didn't even think about it... I would have taught you secretly if I knew it earlier, and it would be fine if I didn't let them know."

"But there is no piano at home, so I can't practice at home..."

"Well, that's true...but it's still too late," Lu Ming said softly, bending his eyes, "I'll teach you well during the winter vacation, and I'll be able to impress your roommates when I get back to school."

Xie Chenjun's heart jumped: Does he mean that Xie Chenjun can go to his house more often in the future?

"Um, but it's a bit difficult to impress piano majors... How about this, let me teach you a few pop songs, the kind that you play and sing by yourself, so that you can play handsome in front of girls, how about it? ?~"

"..."

Xie Chenjun's face suddenly darkened.Didn't he just remember that the two of them were talking about a blind date?Why did you talk about it on the piano? ...

And Lu Ming didn't seem to intend to give him time to "fight back" at all, and said following what he said just now: "Speaking of girls...you have been in college for more than a year, how are you, have you fallen in love?"

"..."

Xie Chenjun looked up at him with a cold face, Lu Ming was taken aback by his expression.

"Well, you don't have to say it if you don't want to—"

"Talk."

"!!!"
