living in the pocket of a nemesis

"I don't hate Bach anymore."

The memory came to an abrupt end, Ye Tang sat on the piano stand, propped his knees and said solemnly: "But I still insist that Liszt's writing is so difficult, just to get revenge on Czerny."

"Hmm." Unexpectedly, Fu Linfeng nodded in agreement this time, "Maybe."

After he finished speaking, he casually smiled and played an excerpt from a rhapsody.

It was natural to mention the past, so naturally that Ye Tang didn't even think about it for a moment, and now it is five years after the two separated.

It seems that when two people are sitting next to the piano, the vibe is like that.

"You..." Ye Tang was a little surprised, but swallowed the words again.

He wanted to ask Fu Linfeng how he could play so smoothly and remember the score clearly.

"Sometimes I still practice." Fu Linfeng knew what he wanted to ask, so he stopped and said something lightly.

"Oh." Ye Tang held back for a while, and finally said clumsily, "It's pretty good."

As for when to practice, how long to practice, and what to practice, there seems to be no need to ask.

It's pretty good, he thought regretfully, after all, after the facts have become a foregone conclusion, this is already a good ending.

Of course there are other questions I want to ask.

For example, how did he live the past five years, what is his mother doing now, whether she will always blame him, ridicule him, or catch him mentally unstable, saying that she wants to live with Fu Linfeng.

So Ye Tang felt that it was still different now.

He and Fu Linfeng have known each other for ten years. In the first five years, he regarded him as a treasure he picked up by himself. Silence tolerates its own existence.

After waiting for the next five years, it became a symbol of loss and disappointment again, it was the past that I desperately refused to listen to or look at and wanted to throw away.

But now he has learned to consider and think, which is different from before.

Just as they were thinking, there was a clear ringtone from the mobile phone in the distance, and both of them were taken aback.

"It's not my mother calling to check the post again! What if she wants a video!" Ye Tang was nervous.

Fu Linfeng walked over to get him the phone, but found that the caller was not An Qiao, but another number.

After pressing the speakerphone for him, Ye Tang was a little surprised to see the caller.

"Mr. Guo?"

On the other end of the phone was Ye Tang's former homeroom teacher.

"Is it Xiaoye?" The male voice on the opposite side was honest and gentle, "I heard from your mother that you came back from abroad?"

"Yes, what's the matter, Mr. Guo?"

"After a while, we had a school celebration at the Music High School, and we wanted to invite some of our former graduates to attend. In fact, we thought of you right away, but we regretted that you didn't return to China. Now that we heard that you came back, How about it, are you interested in going back to the attached high school?"

"what?"

"If you want, I still want to invite you to play at the school celebration. After all, you are an outstanding alumnus now." The other party smiled and said for a while, "I wanted to contact you tomorrow, but I heard that you are back and I am a little excited."

"This one……"

Ye Tang looked down at himself now.

It's about the same height as a mobile phone, and you need to turn on the hands-free to answer the phone call. Today, I also experienced a horror of a small cart...

He actually wanted to go, after all, he hadn't been back for so many years, and it was the school celebration, so he was nostalgic.

It's just that he doesn't know when he can change back.

The other party heard his hesitation: "It's okay, it's okay if it's really inconvenient to play, but you are still welcome to visit as an old classmate."

"Understood, thank you Teacher Guo," Ye Tang still didn't want to refuse directly, "I really want to come, how about registering for me first? If I really can't arrive by then, I will notify you again."

"Okay!" The other party was very straightforward, "Then I will write it down first, and there is no need to force it."

After hanging up the phone, Ye Tang drooped on the phone.

After a while, he looked up at Fu Linfeng who was beside him.

"I'm not a student of the attached middle school, maybe I can't..." He meant that he might not be able to take it for him this time.

"I know." Ye Tang sighed, "But I still want to go back. I don't know what the school's piano room looks like."

"Then if you can't change back at that time, how about taking a visit?" Fu Linfeng asked.

"That's the only way to go." Ye Tang said, "Alright, let's continue!"

He heard Fu Linfeng repeat the few bars he played just now, but added a new harmony and changed another chord.

"How about this part?" he asked.

Ye Tang was stunned for a while: "Very good! That's how it feels! Hurry up and play it again."

Fu Linfeng played it again as he said.

"Perfect!" Ye Tang became excited again, "Why didn't I think of this direction at the time."

As soon as he was happy, the thought of hurting the spring and autumn just now disappeared without a trace.

This kind of excitement is no less than what he felt when he heard that Fu Linfeng was willing to compete with him. He even wanted to hang on Fu Linfeng habitually, but found that he was only a small one now, but in order to express his joy, he still jumped and crossed In Fu Linfeng's hands.

Ye Tang completely forgot what he was feeling just now, and praised him without hesitation: "Genius!"

"Thank you." Unlike before, Fu Linfeng was no longer silent.

"I really want to change back as soon as possible, I want to make a first edition first." Ye Tang is now full of thoughts on how to complete the next content.

"Let's talk about things getting bigger." Fu Linfeng grabbed Ye Tang in his hands, stood up, and closed the piano cover without any explanation, "Then these few bars have been worn out, now go to sleep first."

"You are dominating by virtue of your size!" Ye Tang yelled in his palm dissatisfiedly, "If it weren't for the fact that I'm still young..."

"It's quite small." Fu Linfeng continued, "But you may not be able to—"

"To shut up!"

Ye Tang was put back on the table in the bedroom by him, and he protested uncomfortably.

"Okay, where do you sleep tonight?" Fu Linfeng asked suddenly.

"..." Ye Tang fell silent, it was a good question.

He suddenly felt that the original pink bed was a shame, but it was really comfortable.

Knowing that the princess bed can no longer sleep, Fu Linfeng thought about it, and gave him a few options: "I'll use your... small bathtub to lay a few extra layers for you, and the quilt can still be used."

"Who sleeps in the bathtub!"

"Then get you a cup?" Fu Linfeng continued to talk with Ye Tang's increasingly dissatisfied eyes, "Or, a plate? A small bowl? The little box of mochi you bought just now is very good... ..."

Who the hell still smells like mochi while sleeping!

Ye Tang said bitterly: "Can you think of a normal one?"

Fu Linfeng leaned against the table and said, "Why don't you sleep in my bed?"

Ye Tang looked at Fu Linfeng's bed which was several times taller than his own now, and for some reason remembered that dream at that time.

He slept on a towering mattress, like the princess and the pea in a fairy tale.

What an odd association.

"The guest room hasn't been changed for a long time, otherwise I'll cut a small pillow for you, so you can sleep next to it?" Fu Linfeng seemed to think that this idea was feasible, and continued, "In this way, you can call me in time if you need anything."

Although there seemed to be nothing wrong with the two men sleeping together, not to mention that the current self barely occupied much space, Ye Tang still stared at him suspiciously.

"Oh, I can wear pajamas." Fu Linfeng patched again.

It's just that after this patch, Ye Tang's face became even more stinky.

But what he said was not unreasonable...

"I'm not talking about whether you're wearing pajamas or not!" Ye Tang swayed vigilantly, "But what if you roll over and crush me?!"

Fu Linfeng simply picked him up to see the size of his bed.

It's okay if he feels awkward, but who knows what he's worried about.

Ye Tang was like a difficult party at the moment, and continued to criticize: "And your bed is so big, will I roll off?"

"..." Fu Linfeng simply raised his hand in surrender, "That's what I suggested. I'll get you that little bathtub."

"Forget it!" Ye Tang stopped him this time, "I will, I will."

Anyway, I don't know when it will change back.

It always feels weird to do so many complicated things now.

"Got it." Fu Linfeng got up and found him a pillow, "Master Ye."

"Don't call me that like Sheng Jia!"

There were so many things that happened that day, and when Fu Linfeng put the pillow on him, Ye Tang had almost no time to think about it, and fell asleep as soon as he touched the bed.

But he didn't have the habit of sleeping late, even though he was getting smaller, and the standard eight hours passed, he still opened his eyes on time.

Ye Tang didn't expect that he could sleep so well.

After all, the height of the mattress is not low now, and as a result, I have no dreams all night, and I wake up refreshed.

He glanced at the high mattress with embarrassment, and thought nonsensically, it seems that he still can't be the Prince and the Pea.

He glanced sideways, and there was nothing beside him, and he didn't know when Fu Linfeng got up.

He yawned, because he was worried that he would fall if he jumped directly, so he was barefoot, but he slowly got out of the bed by holding the edge of the bed carefully. Then he rubbed his eyes, found his own small scooter, and pedaled towards the living room .

Ye Tang smelled a burst of fragrance.

Hearing the sound of the small pulley rubbing against the floor, the man in the living room who had his back turned to him turned around: "Go and brush your teeth, and then eat."

"I can't reach the sink." Ye Tang said confidently and aboveboard.

"..." Fu Linfeng walked over silently, took his pajamas, took him back to the bathroom, put him in the bathroom, and arranged the washing tools by the way, "Then what are you doing here on a bike?"

"come and see."

Okay, Fu Linfeng doesn't care about him either.

He stood by the bathroom and called Lin Jie to arrange today's work.

After he finished washing, he dragged him back to the dining table.

Breakfast turned out to be frog porridge. Fu Linfeng cut a small piece of leg meat for him, mixed it with the sauce, put it in a small bone china bowl, and handed it to him.

Ye Tang had long been captured by the steaming aroma, licked his lips, and began to drink the porridge unceremoniously.

When he was about to finish eating, he heard Fu Linfeng from across the street asking him: "I'm going out today, will you come with me, or wait at home for me to come back?"

"Where are you going today? Is there anything interesting?" Ye Tang asked while holding the porridge.

After all, it is too boring to be small.

"The location is not a playground, I'm afraid not."

"Oh," Ye Tang nodded resentfully, thinking of something, and asked again, "By the way, I have seen it several times before, and your secretary will bring you breakfast. Did you not eat breakfast before going to work?"

"Ye Tang, food—"

"I can't say anything about food, but I'm finished now," Ye Tang showed him his empty plate as if showing off, "Then why do you start making breakfast now?"

"..." Fu Linfeng simply changed the subject this time, "But I'm not going to the company today, I'm going to the TV station."

Ye Tang remembered that An Qiao had also told him that she was going to the TV station to record, although Fu Linfeng might not meet him this time, but it was more interesting than being at home: "Then take me, I don't want to fight with Sansan. "

The cat who was eating breakfast at the side suddenly grinned at the living room and meowed.

"It's fine. But if you're outside, you can't bring your mobile phone..." Fu Linfeng said, "Then put your watch on."

"I……"

Ye Tang just wanted to refuse, but when he thought that if he hadn't had the watch in his pocket yesterday when he became smaller, he didn't know what would have happened, so he finally could only agree: "Got it."

It's just that he didn't expect--

Before going out, Ye Tang stared at the thing for a while and said, "I won't recite it!"

"If you don't recite it, I won't take you out." Fu Linfeng was more determined than him, "Just in case."

His expression is very serious, it's just something in his hand...

The watch straps on both sides of the little prodigy phone watch bought for him were removed, and Fu Linfeng found a small schoolbag from nowhere—Ye Tang thought it was bought by him when he was visiting a mother and baby store—— Fu Linfeng put the watch into a small schoolbag, barely able to put it in and zip it up.

Rao Ye Tang has been studying and carrying schoolbags for so many years, and now watching this scene is still outraged: "You treat me like a primary school student!"

"No." He categorically denied, but refused to budge, "On your back."

"No back!"

"I've got it on my back, and I'll try three more bars with you today."

"……Oh."

Ye Tang was forced to compromise.

He is still very thin after getting smaller, and this schoolbag can only hold a watch, so even if he has one more thing on his back, it still doesn't take up much space.

But it's easy to see if you put it in your pocket like this. This time Fu Linfeng put him in the bag, but in order to prevent him from bumping into him, he thoughtfully put a layer of towel on it.

Ye Tang went out with Fu Linfeng sullenly.

When he arrived at the TV station, Lin Jie waited there regardless of the weather. Seeing that Fu Linfeng had brought a bag for the first time today, he immediately went up very colorfully: "I'll carry it for you."

"No. I can do it myself." Fu Linfeng turned slightly sideways.

"Okay." Lin Jie didn't hesitate, "There is a first prize in the second hall of the studio, and the guests are not all there, but the basic process has been completed, and it will start in 10 minutes. You can follow in and watch it when the time comes..."

"Okay." Fu Linfeng nodded, "Then I'll be over in 10 minutes."

Ye Tang was carried by him, staggering in the bag and feeling a little sleepy, just after hearing Lin Jie's voice, Fu Linfeng took him to the dressing room between the two studios.

The second hall where he is located has already been prepared, and because it is still early, the people in the remaining halls have not come to prepare, so the place is currently empty.

Ye Tang crawled out of his bag, admired the dressing room freshly, and asked him, "What's wrong?"

"Would you like to wait here for me?" Fu Linfeng asked, "There is a rehearsal next door, I'm afraid my position is too loud and it's not good for your ears. A lot of time."

He just wanted to sleep back into the cage, and found that Fu Linfeng's bag fit unexpectedly, so he nodded indifferently: "Okay."

"Then I'll go there first. No one will come here now." Fu Linfeng confessed to him, but he still carefully put the bag in a relatively secret place, just in case Ye Tang would not be found if someone really was there, "Wait When it's over, I'll take you somewhere else."

Ye Tang yawned: "Okay."

Fu Linfeng checked again and again before closing the door and leaving.

Ye Tang nestled in his bag, the top zipper was unzipped, which gave him enough fresh air without letting in too much light.He carried his schoolbag from his back to his front, and then began to lean back comfortably, ready to sleep.

As a result, before closing his eyes, he heard a rustling sound from the door.

Fu Linfeng's location was very hidden and safe, even if Ye Tang poked his head out quietly, no one would notice.

He looked at the door curiously, expecting to see some host or celebrity actor on TV, but the one who came in was a half-familiar face.

It turned out to be the person who blocked Fu Linfeng in the parking lot last time.

What is your name Huang, Huang Qingkui?

Ye Tang saw him sneaking in, looked around and found no one, so he took out his mobile phone, not knowing who he was calling.

"Hello, is this Mr. Qi? That's right, I'm Xiao Huang," his voice sounded flattering, "I'm on the TV station right now, yes, Fu Linfeng and the others are indeed rehearsing."

Ye Tang pricked up his ears.

Didn't this person swear last time that he wanted to change jobs?

"I know, I just wanted to see if I could get in last time. In fact, I had already planned to sign Huanyi at that time. Don't worry about that..."

Huanyi was Fu Linfeng's rival company, Ye Tang lost all sleepiness, pursed his lips, and stared at the other party.

Huang Qingkui said a lot of words that he didn't understand, but he still understood the combined content - this person wanted to steal the content of the process, and then stole it for Huanyi to use first, and then planted it after it was sent out here. Speaking of plagiarism here, maybe you can get some handles.

"Okay, that's it. I'll look for Fu later. It's a good thing if he lets me into his company this time."

"Don't worry, I'm definitely on Huanyi's side!"

It wasn't until Huang Qingkui left that Ye Tang completely digested the meaning of his words.

Just because Fu Linfeng looked down on him, he was so conceited that he wanted to join forces with his opponents to get rid of him?

He sighed in his heart, and after confirming that the other party would not come back, he sat up without hesitation.

Ye Tang was protected too well, such things are not common, at this moment he took off the small schoolbag with the watch seriously, and directly pressed the one-button call on it.

Less than 3 minutes after he made the call, Fu Linfeng walked over from the next door.

"What's wrong?" He walked up to Ye Tang, "You called me and asked me to come over, what's the matter?"

"The parking lot blocked you last time! Do you still remember!" Ye Tang glanced back to make sure he closed the door before saying.

"Yeah, what's the matter?" Fu Linfeng nodded, but he didn't care too much.

"Why are you still so careless!" Ye Tang was a little anxious, and quickly said everything he heard and saw just now, in great detail.

In fact, half of what he said, Fu Linfeng knew it in his heart. He knew that kind of person would not be so easy to deal with, but he had thought of those tricks a long time ago, and even asked Lin Jie to take countermeasures, even if Huanyi really knew how to do it. No need to worry too much about something.

But he looked at the villain in front of him...

"Hey, why is this kind of person so bad!" Ye Tang concluded angrily after finishing speaking, "Don't be tricked by him! Otherwise, I'll tell my dad? Although it's not a profession, it should be fine for him to open his mouth. This can also solve..."

The more he talked, the more confused he was, afraid that Fu Linfeng would be affected by such a despicable person, and he couldn't help comforting him like he did many years ago: "Anyway, don't be afraid! I will protect you!"

"What?" Fu Linfeng was listening quietly, but interrupted him now.

"Ah?" Ye Tang was startled, thinking he didn't hear clearly, and repeated again, "I said, don't be afraid! I will protect you!"

He said, and stood on Fu Linfeng's shoulder by the way.

"Got it, I won't have anything." Fu Linfeng said.

But in a place where Ye Tang could not see, he still couldn't hold back his emotions, and slightly curled the corners of his mouth.

Such a small person can't go to the sink, and has to use a small scooter to travel around the house. The maximum food intake at a time is no more than one steamed bun, and sometimes even the cat can't beat it.

But it is such a person who is not as big as his own palm, standing on his shoulders now, saying that he wants to protect him.

"Well," he patted Ye Tang on the back with a light smile, "Then I'll leave it to you."
