When Li Juefeng let her go, Len and Xi had disappeared. Gu Xiaoai looked around and saw Xi Zheng holding Len's hand and talking not far away...
Xi kept handing the cakes and juices on the table to Len, and Len shook his head coolly.
Xi squatted in front of Len and kept talking, with a seemingly harmless smile on his face.
"What's wrong?"
Gu Xiaoai's chin was pinched by Li Juefeng, and she had to turn her head to look at Li Juefeng. Li Juefeng's black eyes stared at her with scrutiny and asked coldly, "Did something happen?!
"
Something happened?
No, nothing has happened yet...
Gu Xiaoai's eyes darkened and she whispered, "I was thinking, I really can't ignore you for anything, there will be retribution."
"..."
Li Juefeng stared at her suspiciously, "What's wrong?"
At the beginning of the carnival, she was still in high spirits, but suddenly her little face drooped...
"It's nothing." Gu Xiaoai looked at Len Hexi not far away and said softly, "Let's go home early."
Fireworks... once again lit up the night sky.
*************************
On the way back in the car, Gu Xiaoai excused herself to take a detour to the studio and drove alone on the street.
In the car, Gu Xiaoai sent a text message to Xi——
【You play the piano very well. Can you play it for me again right away?】
Xi’s text messages were replied very quickly——
【I haven’t left yet, Xiao Ai.】
She...is still in kindergarten?!
Gu Xiaoai drove to Bell Kindergarten and parked the car at the entrance of the kindergarten. She reached out to open the car door but hesitated for a moment. She looked at the photo on the car. It was a photo of her and Xi together...
Gu Xiaoai looked at the group photo with dim eyes. After a long time, Gu Xiaoai opened the car door and walked out.
There are only a few scattered people left in Bell Kindergarten. Some faculty and staff are cleaning up the mess, taking down various small stages and colored lights one by one...
Gu Xiaoai walked towards the small stage on the lawn. The stage had not been dismantled and the piano had not been removed.
Xi sat in front of the piano and played, and the sad music sounded in the tranquility after the carnival...
Gu Xiaoai stood on the lawn below the stage, quietly watching her play.
…
Xi seemed to be trapped in her own world, even her facial features seemed lonely. Her fingertips wandered on the black and white piano keys, and her sadness spread...
The whole world is in mourning.
"Wenchi, who are you?" Gu Xiaoai stood on the stage, interrupting the sad music that was wandering around...
"Bang--"
The sound of the piano stopped suddenly, Xi's hand pressed heavily on the keys, and he turned to look at her.
Under the strong light, Xi's eyes were filled with panic and fear, as if a dust-laden secret had suddenly been revealed.
…
Her reaction confirmed all Gu Xiaoai's suspicions.
"I remember when we met." Gu Xiaoai looked at Xi sitting in front of the piano on the stage, "That time in the private room of the casino, you were playing the piano."
She still had an impression of Xi sitting in front of the piano.
"..."
Xi sat there, slowly lowered his eyes, and said in a weak voice, "I... know you will remember it sooner or later."
I just didn't expect that Gu Xiaoai would remember it so quickly.
After she just said that the two were friends, she remembered everything...
"Are you working for Wenchi?" Gu Xiaoai asked quietly.
"He is my husband." Xi said with lowered eyes, his face even paler under the light.
