Liu Ke Lvyan waited in the living room, Wei Cheng went back to the bedroom to change clothes and packed the racket.It's hard for girls to go out, but fortunately, Weicheng is used to being an athlete casually, and the sports style and casual style are very good.

Ke Lvyan consciously stayed in the living room, and his range of activities was limited to a carpet under his feet.When Wei Cheng came out, she was sitting on the sofa looking around.

Although she introduced the house, Ke Luyan only came here once when he helped Weicheng move here.Now come again, this house has been stained with the style of orange.

There are potted plants on the window sill, which grow well facing the sun; the singles silver medal of the Paris World Table Tennis Championships is hung on the wall, which can be seen as soon as you enter the door, and the whole room is not covered; there is a painting on the wall next to the dining table , I guess it was bought from an old market in London, and the value does not exceed ten pounds.

But this painting looks familiar, as if I have seen it somewhere.

People in winter clothes stood happily in the snow, skaters were energetic, and onlookers were in a happy mood.

"You seem to like snow scenes?"

"I bought it at the old market." Wei Cheng replied, "I don't even know what this painting is about."

"I don't understand art, I just wait for ordinary people to look at the surface." Ke Lvyan got up and smiled, "Isn't there a saying in Hong Kong that the most important thing for people is to be happy? The people in the painting are happy, and we, the audience, are also happy. , that is the success of the painting.”

Ke Luyan's words seemed to be very convincing. Wei Cheng listened and turned her head involuntarily to look at the painting she bought as an ornament. It looked familiar yet unfamiliar. I bought it because I felt familiar. But it was hung there as a decoration without even taking a second look.

"That's right, as long as I feel comfortable hanging there."

After the two went downstairs, Wei Cheng waited downstairs for a few minutes, and Ke Lvyan drove her car over from an unknown corner like magic.

Said it was for afternoon tea, but Ke Luyan invited him directly to her house.

"Papa is on a business trip abroad, and Mommy has a dinner appointment with her students, so I can only make tea today."

Ke Luyan opened the tea cabinet in the kitchen, "What would you like to drink?"

Wei Cheng leaned against the door, thought about it and smiled, "I don't know much about tea."

"So what about the last one?" Ke Lvyan chose a can from the bottles and cans, "How about Ceylon tea?"

The last time I drank it was a year ago, and I have long forgotten how it tasted.Wei Cheng smiled subconsciously, "Okay, thank you."

Ke Luyan waved his hands, turned around and got busy.

A pot of tea was brewed quickly, there were only two people, Wei Cheng didn't understand these things, and Ke Lvyan didn't pay much attention to afternoon tea.On the three-tier snack plate were only some snacks that Ke Lvyan collected from her room. She tore a bag of potato chips and threw a bag to Wei Cheng by the way.

It was not yet the time to raise the fireplace, Ke Lvyan pushed the movable single sofa in front of the fireplace, and the two of them sat facing each other across the fireplace, Wei Cheng felt for a moment that this arrangement looked like 221B Baker Street.

After waiting for a long time, Wei Cheng asked a little embarrassedly: "So, what do you want to say to me?"

Ke Luyan was pouring tea, and slowly poured out half a cup before pouring another, "Can't we just drink tea?"

"If it's just for tea, I think you might just find a restaurant near my house instead of running across half of London to your house..." Wei Cheng gestured, "It's so laborious to deliberately create a private space."

Ke Luyan put the poured teacup in front of Wei Cheng, pushing and taking it away with tenderness, "Why don't I know when you know me so well?"

"I think... it's because I know Zhiyan better." Wei Cheng was a little absent-minded when she spoke. I don't know if it was because of Ke Zhiyan that reminded her of her previous life in the national team, or because of Ke Zhiyan herself.

Ke Lvyan raised his eyebrows, but before she could speak, Wei Cheng continued to take it: "I don't know if the two of you look alike, but it's actually a gamble, because if it's a childish speech, she will do this." It means that there must be something very important to tell me right now."

"Interesting." Ke Lvyan uttered a word in a low voice.Wei Cheng moved her head slightly, showing a puzzled look.

"You know her very well. Except for some things she doesn't want you to know, she has opened up to you, just like she did to Lena..." Wei Cheng didn't hear the last sentence clearly, because Ke Lvyan's voice It dropped suddenly at the last sentence, almost like a murmur.But she heard a name: Lenna.

Who is that?

Ke Zhiyan once called this name in a dream, but Wei Cheng wasn't sure, she was also sleepy at the time and didn't have much memory.

"—Is that how the word is used?"

Wei Cheng heard Ke Luyan ask again.She tilted her head, "Which one?"

"'Open your heart', is this how the word is used?" Ke Lvyan seemed to be humbly asking for advice.Wei Cheng didn't understand. Is this person serious? Now she is learning Chinese again?

"I just can't grasp the extent of the word in Chinese. After all, when we mention it in English, it is called 'burning her heart'."

Wei Cheng stared at Ke Lvyan with a completely incomprehensible look.Ke Lvyan looked back at her for a few seconds, and scratched the back of his neck with an irritable expression: "Okay, I admit that Chinese is indeed difficult for me. After all, it would be great if you could speak English. I can quickly put everything together. I'll explain it all to you."

Wei Cheng accurately grasped one word: "Explanation?"

"Explain why she is the way she is, in your terms, 'retired'?"

"—Wait, why should I know..."

"Actually, she wasn't like this before."

Wei Cheng shut her mouth and quietly listened to Ke Luyan's continuation.This is today's theme, and it is also the purpose of Ke Luyan's invitation to come. Ke Zhiyan had a completely different personality when he was young than he is now.

Ke Luyan took a cookie from the porcelain plate, and gestured to Wei Cheng, who waved her hand to refuse, and she ate a cookie with tea alone.

Wei Cheng thought to herself that she had really sold out, and then she changed her mind in the next second, and thought that Ke Luyan had worked so hard for her sister.Ke Luyan has such a straightforward personality and is used to controlling everything. If someone else had something to say and was too lazy to go around, but now he puts a lot of effort into himself, he thinks highly of himself.

Wei Cheng suddenly wanted to laugh, but she couldn't laugh when she saw Ke Luyan who was eating a cookie in front of her.Ke Luyan has inherited the good family style of the Ke family very well, and even eats biscuits with elegance. When it comes to afternoon tea, he really looks like the elegant posture of European ladies centuries ago.

Ke Zhiyan is not.It may be that she was rebellious after being away from home for too long when she was young, or she was deliberately pursuing freedom. She always eats as if she is hungry and wants to be full in one bite. Her two cheeks are bulging, but she doesn't know it, and she has an innocent look. Looking directly at it, I really answered the phrase "Little lion on the prairie".

After eating a cookie, Ke Lvyan took out a piece of paper and slowly rubbed off the residue on his hands before continuing: "Actually, the first thing Ah Zhi learned when he was a child...what do you call this in China? 'Specialty' ? Well, the first thing she learned as a kid wasn't table tennis."

"Is it the violin?" The first thing Wei Cheng thought of was the violin that Ke Zhiyan hid under the cabinet in the apartment of the national team.

"To be precise, she only studied with the teacher for two or three years, and then she taught herself."

"Have you taught yourself Mozart, Bach, Beethoven? I mean she is so talented in music?"

"We don't know if she really likes the violin. At the beginning, she learned from me. At that time, she was less than four years old. Mommy gave her a children's violin, which is very valuable and has a better tone than many adult violins. I taught her for half a year, and then the family found a music teacher for her, and we found that she has a very strong memory in music, and she basically doesn't read the music score when playing the piano."

Perhaps, she is indeed very talented in music.Then why didn't she continue to study music?

"Her music teacher is French, she speaks with a French accent, and may sometimes use French. After half a year, I found that she can already communicate with me in French, similar to some daily conversations."

"By the time she was five or six she was obsessed with football. You know, the British are obsessed with football what the Chinese are with table tennis and the Americans are with basketball."

Oh, and this time she's showing her fascination with football again?Wei Cheng thought to herself, the more she listened, the more she felt that something was wrong, she couldn't grasp the point of Ke Lvyan.

"Papa built a simple children's goal for her in the backyard. This little bastard is not yet at the age of school. He is full of energy and has nowhere to vent every day, so he puts it all in the backyard. When I come home from school, I am greeted by a pounce like a **** Put the mud ball in your arms." Ke Lvyan said, laughing, as if remembering one of the few happy times in childhood.

The smile just flashed by, and then Ke Lvyan stopped the smile, and the change of face was so fast that Wei Cheng wondered if she had seen the other party's smile just now.

Ke Luyan asked, "Did you hear anything?"

From the violin to self-taught French to football, oh, plus her current Chinese and world-class skills, Wei Cheng said: "Is she a genius with extraordinary talent?"

Ke Luyan let out a laugh from his chest, which seemed to be sarcasm, but also seemed to be mocking.Wei Cheng feels that the other party's expression seems to be a little sad, but where is the sadness?

"Sometimes we wish she wasn't so gifted. When she was little, I would make a wish every Christmas that she would wake up and ditch her overly smart head, don't have a great memory, and don't have so many Things. I would rather she be an ordinary person, obediently be the most beloved young daughter of the Ke family, do what she likes, learn her favorite major..."

Ke Luyan's words came to an abrupt end, she paused for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Do you know what her name means?"
