Moonlight kisses the waltz

【I love you, but I dare not say it. 】

【I'm afraid you will disappear in the next second of morning light like foam on the sea. 】

——"His Diary"

In Haidu in autumn, the road is paved with a thin layer of ginkgo leaves, which sparkle like waves in the sun.

Lin Yu cycled around the surrounding area, and the wheels ran over the leaves, distracting part of his nervous attention for a while.

He stopped beside a commercial street, ate a bowl of beef noodles, and then called Jiang Huaizuo to ask for a day off.At about five or six o'clock in the afternoon, he reckoned that Luo Xingu should have already left, so he started to ride back.

When he arrived near the villa in the forest, it was already dark.

After Lin Yu parked the car, he heard the sound of a piano from a distance in the villa, and then realized that Luo Xingu was still there.

He stood at the door and listened for a while, Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata" was being played in the room.The music progressed to the climax, and the speed became faster and faster. Lin Yu even felt the anxiety in the performer's heart through the sound of the piano.

It stands to reason that with Luo Xingu's level, he shouldn't make such emotional mistakes.

Just as he was wondering, he suddenly heard a wrong sound, the music stopped abruptly, and everything returned to calm.

——Luo Xingu seems to be in a bad mood.

Lin Yu stood silently outside the door for a moment, then entered the password to open the door.

The sun was setting, and the sunlight poured through the floor-to-ceiling windows onto the milky white body of the piano. Luo Xingu sat on the piano bench, still maintaining the posture of stepping on the pedal, wondering what he was thinking.

The door behind him closed naturally, and the sound echoed in the hall on the first floor. Luo Xingu turned to look at him.

"You're back."

Before Lin Yu could speak, Luo Xingu slapped his mouth open first, his tone was calm, as if those angry piano sounds just now didn't flow from his fingertips.

Lin Yu habitually turned his head and pushed his glasses with his hand: "Next week there will be a lecture on brain science and artificial intelligence in Haidu Building. I need to attend and prepare a 10-minute speech."

"Do you need an invitation letter?" Luo Xingu asked.

"No, the meeting is completely open to the public." Lin Yu walked in after changing his shoes, holding the woolen coat in his arms, "You were playing Beethoven's "Moonlight" just now?"

"Ah."

Luo Xingu put his hands on the keys again, and the gentle sound of the piano flowed out, chanting softly, like a mermaid dancing in the moon river.

Now that the performance had started, it was difficult for Lin Yu to interrupt him.He picked up the suitcase in the living room, walked around to the stairs and went upstairs to tidy up the room.

When he finished tidying up everything, Luo Xingu downstairs had already changed several songs.

This young pianist seemed to have a particular preference for Chopin. Lin Yu recognized two or three nocturnes, and there were some other pieces that he couldn't name, but they were all very nice.

Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief, thinking about taking a break first.He leaned against the bed and looked out the window. He was nervous and exhausted this day, and sleepiness hit him quickly, and he couldn't help falling asleep.

He had a dream.

It was a chaotic, black dream.

The sound of the piano flowed through the frontal lobe of the brain and penetrated into the dreamland. He walked along the road formed by the materialized piano keys until he came to a river.

The river was blue, and he saw a young man caught in the shadows on the other side of the river. The young man looked exactly like Luo Xingu, but he had a fierce aura around him.

Small leather boots, a military cap, white gloves, and a straight waist.

Lin Yu walked towards the river bank, every step was like stepping on a water mirror, making a crisp bumping sound.Finally, the young man on the other side noticed him and turned around.

Lin Yu clearly saw what the young man was holding in his hand - it was a gun.

He was very surprised, but what surprised him even more was that the young man slowly raised his gun.

And the direction the gun is aimed at is the young man's own heart.

"boom!"

Lin Yu woke up with a start.

He was panting in shock, his hands and feet were cold, and there was a layer of cold sweat on his forehead.

The moonlight reflected on his bed through the window, and the sound of the piano downstairs had long since ceased. He held his heartbeating chest and sat up.

There was a sweet scent of oranges in the room.

Lin Yu followed the smell and saw a fruit plate on the small square table at some point in the room. There were neatly sliced ​​bananas, oranges, and kiwi fruits in it, and a small silver fork was thoughtfully placed beside it.

——As I said when we first met in the afternoon, Luo Xingu did not stay.

***

The next day Lin Yu got up early.

There was a misty drizzle outside the house, Lin Yu simply washed up, turned on the computer and edited the PPT file that will be used in today's group meeting.

After spending about half an hour correcting it, Lin Yu sent the document to Jiang Huaizuo, which was regarded as a mission.

His topic is a hot topic at the forefront of society. He has invested a lot of energy in the early stage of research on the combination of human brain and intelligent machines, and he cannot relax because of injuries.

After closing the laptop, the cell phone by the table rang.Lin Yu glanced at it, and three words popped up on the screen - "Luo Xingu".

He picked it up: "Mr. Luo."

The voice on the other end of the phone carried a little moisture from the rainy season: "Dr. Lin, are you resting well?"

"Very good, thank you for your concern."

After some courtesy, the conversation fell into a brief silence.

There was the patter of rain outside the window.

"You can go downstairs after packing up. Wear thicker clothes, it's cold outside." Luo Xingu said.

Lin Yu was startled, stood up and took two steps to the window, and looked down—in the fine rain, Luo Xingu was standing downstairs holding a transparent umbrella, and the cuffs of his white shirt inside his small suit were fluffy.The water falling from the umbrella hit the shoe with a tick-tick.

Did Luo Xingu wait for a long time, it doesn't look like he called him just after he arrived.

Lin Yu immediately put on his coat and went downstairs with quick movements.He opened the door and saw Luo Xingu raised his eyebrows.

"Dr. Lin is very fast." Luo Xingu said.

"Why don't I go to the hospital by myself, it's too much trouble for you." Lin Yu expressed a little apologetic.

"No trouble, it's not the first day we met, and you are Uncle Jiang's favorite student, of course I will try my best." Luo Xingu tilted his umbrella towards Lin Yu.

Lin Yu said "Thank you", borrowed an umbrella and followed Luo Xingu to the direction of the car. "Are you familiar with my teacher?"

"Well, Uncle Jiang has a very good relationship with my father. I went to take his class before going abroad." Luo Xingu walked to the side of the co-pilot, opened the door, Lin Yu thanked him and got into the car.

With the car door closed, he watched Luo Xingu walk towards the driver's seat through the car window, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

——Talking to Luo Xingu, he was afraid of making a mistake, but he was really tired.

The engine started, Lin Yu coughed, and Luo Xingu immediately turned his hand to the steering wheel, moved to the function area and pressed two buttons.

The warm air was activated, and the temperature inside the car gradually rose. Luo Xingu also reached out to check the wind speed.

"Generally the cough is severe at night, do you often have it in the morning?" Luo Xingu asked.

Lin Yu replied, "It's fine on weekdays, but it will get worse on cloudy and rainy days. It probably has something to do with today's weather."

"Yeah." Luo Xingu nodded.

The car started, and the windshield wiper turned to the minimum gear and swayed gently on the front window.

It took about half an hour to get to Risheng Hospital. Halfway through the journey, the air in the car became more and more dull.

In order to break the silence, Lin Yu started to find a topic. "How long are you going to stay in China this time?"

"It won't be too long. I will go back after finishing my work. There will be several important concerts in the second half of the year. I need to make an appointment with the orchestra in advance to try out." Luo Xingu said.

"It's amazing." Lin Yu admired it from the bottom of his heart.

"The main thing is that I like it," Luo Xingu said. "Sitting in the concert hall and playing music is a wish I have made a long time ago to realize."

"When will it be held in China? I'll grab tickets." Lin Yu said.

Luo Xingu supported the steering wheel with one hand, and rested the other on his cheek, with a smile in his eyes: "Where is the need to rush, if Dr. Lin is willing to show his face, I will help you arrange the best seat in front."

Mentioning this, Lin Yu showed a more interested expression.

"May I ask, what is the best seat for the concert? Some people say the front row, others say the middle, or is it better to be seated at a high ticket price?"

Luo Xingu tapped the steering wheel with his slender fingers.

"A good concert hall can hear the same acoustics wherever you sit." Luo Xingu said patiently, "Whether the location is good or not depends on who you want to see when you sit there."

"Oh." Lin Yu understood, "That's the column facing the piano."

The red light is on.

Luo Xingu stepped on the brake and turned to look at Lin Yu.

Only then did Lin Yu realize what he had said, and his face became hot.

"Yes, that's what it means." Luo Xingu said with a smile, "When Dr. Lin wants to come, you must tell me, and I will reserve a seat in the front row for you. As a reward, you have to take pictures for me, and the pictures must look good. OK."
