In the lobby on the third floor of the magnificent five-star hotel, we heard the cheerful sound of the piano as soon as we entered. Yes, I felt the joy of the music being played, and my body suddenly felt excited under the influence of this note.
There is an urge to move.
I went to see Chen Yuan and found her standing at the door of the hall, "Chen Yuan..." I called her, and then I was stunned because I found her eyes sparkling with tears.
"Chen Yuan, let's go to eat." I looked at her and said to her softly.
She moved slowly, and as she walked to the dining table, Chen Yuan couldn't help but turn around and look at the piano.
I think I chose the right place when I came here today. I thought happily.
"Chen Yuan, what do you want to eat?" I asked her after sitting down, suddenly feeling a little biased, "By the way, Zhuang Qing, you can order whatever you want to eat, don't think about money."
But Chen Yuan kept looking towards the piano and didn't even listen to what I was talking to her. Zhuang Qing glanced at her and took the menu, "I'll order some."
I nodded and stood up immediately, "Zhuang Qing, you watch her, I'll go there."
A place like a five-star hotel is different from an ordinary hotel because most of the people who come here to eat are of high quality and the voices of people talking in the entire restaurant are very low. Because of this, the notes coming from the piano can float.
to every corner of the hall.
The piano player is a girl, about the same age as Chen Yuan, but her appearance is very ordinary. Her fingers are still slender, and they move on the keyboard very flexibly. As her slender fingers move, the notes play happily.
Jumping out. Standing here, I suddenly became embarrassed: because I suddenly found that I couldn't disturb her who was playing the piano. Wouldn't it be too disgraceful if the cheerful notes stopped jumping because of me?
After thinking about it, I went to find the lobby manager of this restaurant. Fortunately, the manager was a woman.
I always think that women have advantages that are different from men, that is, they are mostly compassionate. The nurses in our department often speak harshly to the patients, and that is just because of their aversion to the profession. I believe that they are very good in their daily lives.
They also have the most fundamental charity heart of women.
"Hello. I want to trouble you with something." I said to the lobby manager. She was wearing navy blue business attire and looked solemn and elegant. She was smiling at me, "What can I do for you, sir?"
"Excuse me, can my friend play the piano here for a while?" I asked.
She still smiled, but the answer was negative, "I'm sorry, sir. The piano here is played by professionals. The purpose is to provide customers with a relaxing dining environment. I'm sorry for your request.
We cannot agree."
I nodded, "That's right, this friend of mine is also a professional piano player. But she was injured in an accident some time ago and is now hospitalized in our hospital. Oh, I forgot to tell you. I am her doctor. Today
I specially brought her to your place for dinner because she used to play piano in a Western restaurant. I originally wanted her to feel the environment and atmosphere here to help her recover as soon as possible. But I found that she
I've been looking at your piano. That's why I took the liberty to make this request to you."
"I understand. However, just because your friend is a patient, I am even more worried. You see, the people who dine here are all high-status people. If the sound of your friend playing the piano scares you,
I can't bear the responsibility if the guests here run away." She shook her head and said.
"I'm sorry." I felt very sorry and turned around to leave. "Sir." The lobby manager suddenly called me, "Can I ask you? Which hospital are you from?"
I told her.
"Which department are you from?" she asked again.
"Obstetrics and gynecology." I answered.
She was startled, then looked at me in surprise. I smiled at her.
"Excuse me, what's your name?" She continued to ask me.
"My name is Feng Xiao." I answered.
"Mr. Feng, are you sure that your patient can play the piano normally?" she asked again.
Now I was stunned. I had never thought about this problem at all. Now I felt that I was a little abrupt. But I suddenly thought of Chen Yuan's obsession with the piano just now, and my confidence suddenly increased, "It shouldn't happen."
It’s a problem. No, it’s definitely not a problem.”
"Okay, I promise you. Let's make friends today." She said to me with a smile, and then gave me her business card.
I took it and said, "Sorry, I don't have a business card. So, I'll write you my phone number."
Returning to our seats, I looked at Chen Yuan and smiled, "Chen Yuan, do you want to play the piano?"
"Me?" She looked at me with wide eyes, as if she didn't believe it at all. I nodded to her, "I just went to talk to the manager here. If you want to play the piano, she will arrange it right away."
"Really? Thank you, Doctor Feng." She suddenly became excited.
Zhuang Qing looked at me with tenderness in her eyes.
I took Chen Yuan to the lobby manager. "Wow! What a beautiful girl!" The lobby manager exclaimed sincerely. I was secretly amused: It turns out that women also appreciate people of the same sex.
"Manager Hu, please make some arrangements. She will only play one piece. We haven't eaten yet." I said to the lobby manager with a smile. Just now I saw that the name on her business card was Hu Xuejing.
"Okay. Come with me." She said with a smile. I was very happy because Hu Xuejing didn't ask Chen Yuan what piece of music she was going to play, nor did she ask if she was confident that she could play well. From this, it seemed that this
The lobby manager really wants to make me a friend, and he knows how to be a good person.
At the same time, I also thought: She might want to ask me for help. Because I am an obstetrician and gynecologist and she is a woman.
Hu Xuejing took us to the piano. She bent down and whispered something to the girl who was playing, and then stood next to us.
The girl's playing did not stop abruptly. She gently stretched her slender fingers, and after playing a series of notes, she slowly slowed down the music, and then slowly stopped. She stood
He got up and came to see us immediately.
"Go." I said to Chen Yuan.
She looked at me, nodded slightly towards me, and walked slowly towards the piano.
She sat down slowly, gently stroked her hands on the keyboard of the piano, then closed her eyes... and a string of notes began to jump out.
"Huh!" I heard the girl who just played the piano make a surprised sound. I went to look at her and found that she was looking at Chen Yuan's nimble hands on the keyboard in surprise.
The music was slow and cheerful. It was the same piece I had heard in that Western restaurant. But it felt a little different.
I was completely caught by the notes played by Chen Yuan, and my emotions and thoughts completely entered the world she created. I seemed to see it, and I saw a clear river beside it.
She was running happily in the endless sea of flowers, wearing a white dress. The butterflies were fluttering, and they were dancing with her. She was running happily, and came to the river, holding a handful of
Clear water. Fish in the river are jumping...
I don’t know why such images suddenly appeared in my mind, but they came to my mind clearly and made me feel so real. The notes she played were floating like running water, which made me feel
Drops of crystal water like teardrops suddenly appeared in front of my eyes. No, they were teardrops, her teardrops. They were so crystal clear...
I don't know when her playing ended, because I only woke up when I heard applause from the hall.
Chen Yuan stood up slowly. She looked at me with shame on her face.
I don't know when Zhuang Qing also came to this place, "It sounds so good." She praised.
"Dr. Feng, thank you." The lobby manager said to me with a smile on his face. "I should thank you." I said to her sincerely.
"Where are you sitting?" she asked.
I pointed to the approximate place. She nodded to me, and then went to give some instructions to the waiter next to her.
"Chen Yuan, you play so well." I said sincerely after the three of us sat down.
"Can you hear what I'm playing?" she asked me.
I smiled bitterly, "How do I understand this? I thought the sound you made was so nice. It also brought me into a beautiful picture. There were streams, seas of flowers, butterflies and...
Beautiful fish. Haha! Anyway, it feels so beautiful."
She looked at me in surprise, "Did you really feel those images?"
I suddenly felt extremely ashamed, "I really don't understand. I just think it sounds good."
"You understand, you understand completely." She murmured.
"I also felt that scene. However, at the end, I felt a little sad, and I almost cried when I heard it." Zhuang Qing said suddenly.
"Yes, I think I saw tears." I said hurriedly, and suddenly realized that I had lost my words, "Zhuang Qing, forget it, let's not talk anymore. We are just trying to do what we want."
At this time, the waiter started to serve the food.
"Huh? There seems to be a mistake? Isn't this the dish we ordered?" Zhuang Qing said, looking at the dishes on the table in surprise.
Only then did I realize that the dishes on the table were somewhat high-end and very exquisite.
"That's right, our manager Hu said that she is treating us today. These dishes were also arranged by Manager Hu himself. And so is this bottle of red wine." The waiter replied with a smile.
"That's it. I'm sorry, I didn't ask for your opinion in advance." At this time, the lobby manager came over and she said to me with a smile.
"Why is this so embarrassing?" I felt a little embarrassed.
"Dr. Feng, can I sit down and have dinner with you?" Manager Hu said with a smile, "We will eat together, and then I will treat you. Then you can accept it, right?"
"Welcome. I have to thank you, because you agreed to let Xiao Chen play the piano. So I should treat you to this meal," I said.
"I know you doctors are rich. But this is just a small thing on my part. Dr. Feng, you have to give me this face, right?" She sat down and said to me with a smile. I can't say anything else. But I guess
She must have something else to tell me. (To be continued)
