Xiao Chen did not go to the company, he believed that Peng Chao would handle everything properly.
At around six o'clock in the afternoon, Xiao Yufei returned home. She seemed to be in a good mood and was humming a little tune.
"What are you so happy about?" Xiao Chen asked knowingly.
"Of course it's a good thing. It solves a problem that has been bothering me for a long time!" Xiao Yufei turned around and smiled, full of charm.
Xiao Chen said amusedly: "So you won't work overtime today? Are you coming back so early?"
Usually, when Xiao Yufei returns home, she will arrive at 11 or 12 o'clock at the earliest. It is rare that she returns home from get off work at 6 o'clock.
"No, tomorrow is National Day and the company is on holiday, so you don't have to work overtime today."
Xiao Yufei said and asked again:
"Your school should be on holiday too, right?"
"Uh...of course!"
Xiao Chen touched his nose and thought that he didn't go to school for the past two days. Who knows if it's a holiday or not.
However, National Day is a legal holiday, so there should be a holiday, and it is a long holiday.
Xiao Yufei walked around the kitchen and came out and asked, "You haven't had dinner yet, can we go out to eat together?"
"OK!"
Xiao Chen is also willing to go out for a walk.
At this moment, Xiao Yufei's cell phone rang.
Xiao Yufei saw the caller ID, looked at Xiao Chen again, and answered the call.
"Hey, Shiyun, why do you call me when you have time?"
On the other side of the phone, Xia Shiyun hesitated a little and asked in a low voice: "Sister Yufei, is Xiao Chen here?"
"Here, what's wrong?"
"No...nothing. It's just that he hasn't gone to school for two days. Let me ask him about his situation."
"Ah? Didn't you go to school for two days?"
Xiao Yufei glared at Xiao Chen and said to herself that it doesn't matter how good your academic performance is, you wouldn't skip classes so unscrupulously, right?
Xiao Chen looked slightly embarrassed and turned his head away.
"Shiyun, I will teach him a lesson. By the way, have you had dinner? Xiaochen and I are about to go out to eat. Do you want to come together?"
"OK!"
There was a hint of surprise in Xia Shiyun's tone.
"Well, then you wait at home, Xiaochen and I will go pick you up!"
After saying that, Xiao Yufei hung up the phone and looked at Xiao Chen with a smile.
"It seems like you are making good progress?"
Xiao Chen raised a question mark and asked: "What's going on well?"
"The progress with Shiyun!"
"Don't talk nonsense, I haven't made any progress with her."
"Come on, I invited Shiyun to dinner just now. Her happy reaction must be because of you."
"You're overthinking, maybe she's just too bored to be alone."
Xiao Chen disagreed.
Xiao Yufei said angrily: "Why do you like to lose your temper at critical moments? On Shiyun's birthday last time, she obviously had a different impression of you, and you walked away. Now people take the initiative to approach you, and you look so lifeless again."
"Am I lifeless?"
Xiao Chen was not aware of this problem.
"have!"
Xiao Yufei affirmed.
Xiao Chen said seriously: "This is your illusion, my mentality is very healthy!"
Xiao Yufei was speechless and choked.
"Forget it, I won't argue with you, let's set off to pick up Shiyun."
…
The two drove and arrived at Xia's house half an hour later. Xia Shiyun was already waiting at the door.
She obviously dressed up before going out, wearing a beige dress, looking slim and graceful, with the shyness and innocence of a girl.
"Shiyun, get in the car!" Xiao Yufei shouted.
"Um!"
Xia Shiyun looked at Xiao Chen who was sitting in the back seat, hesitated for a moment, and then sat in the passenger seat.
Although she wanted to have a good talk with Xiao Chen, the girl's reserve prevented her from approaching Xiao Chen rashly.
You can still say something if you keep a distance, but if you are too close, you may not be able to say anything.
This is why she doesn't want to sit at the same table as Xiao Chen.
Xiao Yufei said: "Shiyun, do you have any plans for the National Day holiday? Xiaochen and I are quite bored at home. How about you come over and keep us company?"
"Of course, my dad is very busy recently and often doesn't come home. It's even more boring for me to be alone at home."
Xiao Yufei heard this and smiled: "Speaking of which, you haven't taught me how to play the piano for a long time."
Xia Shiyun's face turned red and she said, "Xiao Chen's piano level is higher than mine, you can let him teach you."
Xiao Yufei curled her lips and said, "He said he only knew that one piece of music, and he didn't know anything about the piano, so he refused to teach me."
Xiao Chen interjected at this time, "I'm not lying to you, maybe I can play a piece of music well, but teaching people I am definitely not as good as poetry."
Xia Shiyun finally found an opportunity and couldn't help but ask: "Xiao Chen, what is the name of your piece of music and who did you learn it from?"
"The song is called "Peerless Grace" and I composed it myself." Xiao Chen didn't hide it.
"Did you create it yourself?"
Xia Shiyun and Xiao Yufei were shocked at the same time.
Playing a piece of music well and composing a piece of music are two completely different concepts.
Xiao Yufei said angrily: "Since you can compose music, why are you saying that you don't know piano knowledge and can't teach me?"
"Well..." Xiao Chen paused and explained, "Actually, "Peerless Grace" is not a piano piece, but a guzheng piece."
"Guzheng?"
The two of them were startled again.
Can this guy also play the guzheng?
Xiao Chen added: "I haven't been exposed to the piano for a long time. I just temporarily adapted "Peerless Grace" into a piano piece. The playing effect is definitely not as good as it is."
Xia Shiyun was shocked when she heard this.
The song that astonished everyone that day, for Xiao Chen, the playing effect was actually relatively poor?
However, if "Peerless Beauty" is really adapted from guzheng music, then what Xiao Chen said must be true.
The piano is known as the king of musical instruments. It can play the repertoire of most musical instruments, but it cannot truly replace those musical instruments.
Industry specializing in surgery!
It's like an all-around athlete who can run, swim, long jump, high jump, etc., but in a single field, his ability is not as good as that of a professional athlete in that field.
The same goes for the comparison between piano and guzheng. The piano can play guzheng music, but it cannot perfectly express the true essence of guzheng music.
Xia Shiyun really wanted to see what it was like for Xiao Chen to play "Peerless Beauty" on the guzheng.
"It's really strange. When did you learn guzheng?"
Xiao Yufei couldn't understand Xiao Chen more and more.
At this time, Xiao Chen used his ability to talk nonsense again and said:
"My high school classmate has a guzheng at home, and his mother is a guzheng teacher. I often go to his house to play, and I learned it through my ears and eyes."
"It's another classmate joke. When are you going to invite your mysterious classmate out to meet him?"
"Forget it, he's in his hometown, so far away!"
"I just know how to make it up!" Xiao Yufei knew that nothing could be gained by asking, so she didn't continue to investigate.
Soon, they arrived at a mid-range restaurant, parked the car on the side of the road, got out and went to eat.
There was not much to talk about during the meal. Basically, Xiao Yufei was looking for topics alone, with Xiao Chen and Xia Shiyun replying from time to time.
"It's so tiring to have a meal with you!"
Xiao Yufei complained that it is not easy to be a sister, as she has to take care of two little ones.
"Just eat when you eat. You don't need to talk so much. It's you who talks too much!"
Xiao Chen disagreed.
"Think of kindness as a donkey's heart and lungs!" Xiao Yufei rolled her eyes at Xiao Chen, paid the bill and left the hotel.
The three of them were about to walk in the direction of parking when they suddenly saw a red Ferrari driving towards them.
Peng!
The Ferrari happened to hit Xiao Yufei's white Audi, denting the front of the car.
