Of course, Xiao Yao didn't know anything about Shen Jie's worrying interpersonal relationship at this time.

He had just said goodbye to Ouyang Qianqian, left the "Zhongshu Tower" and walked quickly towards the laboratory building.

The orchestra classroom should be on... the fourth floor, ah, yes.

Even far away, Xiao Yao heard the melodious sound of the cello.

Xiao Yao recognized this piece of music as "Variations on a Theme of Moses" by Paganini.

Yu Luying told him that this is a theme variation composed by Paganini based on the melody of Rossini's opera "Moses in Egypt". It was written with the music of Moses praying as the theme.

Xiao Yao remembers that the first time he heard this piece was at the school celebration performance in the first semester.

He will never forget that the sun was very bright that day.

Yu Luying was wearing a pure black dress. On the rostrum of the playground, she walked out from the middle of the orchestra girls in the same outfit and started her solo.

She is tall, looks good in her costume, and her skin is extremely pale.

Xiao Yao had no chance to learn music theory, couldn't appreciate any cello variations, and couldn't even hear the main melody. At that time, he just looked at Yu Luying dreamingly, as if everything around him had faded and disappeared.

He was very sure that Yu Luying's face was bright that day.

He was very confused as to why he found Yu Luying so... good-looking on the first day after he had known her and been good friends with her for several months.

Yu Luying's eyes were filled with clear water, as if it would drip down at any time. Sometimes she looked sadly into the distance, as if she was looking forward to some kind of future, and sometimes she closed her eyes and lowered her head, like a girl praying quietly.

Xiao Yao fell in love with her at that moment.

He shook his head to dispel this not-so-distant memory, walked quietly to the door of the instrumental music classroom, and quietly peered through the crack in the door.

The melodious sound of the piano suddenly stopped, and the girl put down the strings in her hand and looked here.

Xiao Yao was shocked, and he simply opened the door pretending to be nonchalant: "You are here, I felt your finger was injured, so I came to take a look -"

He raised his hand to show Yu Luying his fingers.

Yu Luying stretched out her finger with a band-aid on it and lowered her head: "I'm sorry, I accidentally got hit by the string... I will pay attention next time."

"Oh, it's okay. I'm relieved that you're okay." Xiao Yao pretended to be relaxed and said.

Yu Luying pursed her lips and pushed her hair behind her ears: "Thank you."

Another awkward silence followed, with neither of them moving.

"By the way, last night, your mother..." Xiao Yao started hesitantly.

"It's time for me to go back." Yu Luying stood up and began to pack her piano case.

"Let's go get something to eat." Xiao Yao blurted out.

Yu Luying didn't say anything, she just picked up her piano case, lowered her head and walked out.

--Dividing line--

"Next time - I'll invite you both times, it's a deal."

Xiao Yao held a few skewers of honey-glazed chicken legs and beef ribs in his hand, walked to the small square table outside the store and sat down, placing them on the iron plate in front of Yu Luying.

Then, following her example, he made a sign of the cross on his chest, clasped his palms together and said, "I'm starting!"

At this time, the sky was getting dark. Yu Luying took small bites of chicken while looking at the street corner in a melancholy daze.

"It means that we haven't come here to eat together for a long time. We used to come here often." Xiao Yao started talking.

"Where have you gone again!" Following a crisp ringtone, Teacher Yao sent a text message.

"It's because of you." Yu Luying spoke unexpectedly, her tone seemed to be talking about someone else's matter.

"What?"

"Mom is angry because I lied to her." Yu Luying said softly: "I helped you make up lessons after school last week, but I lied to my mother and said that the band had to practice extra... She found out yesterday..."

Xiao Yao was a little confused: "No, I...why?"

Yu Luying did not answer his question, but continued: "You came to me yesterday, and she became even more angry."

"I'm sorry, I'm just worried about you." Xiao Yao said apologetically.

Yu Luying shook her head and made a negative sound of "hmm" from her nose.

"Why does your mother hate me so much?"

"She doesn't hate you." Yu Luying focused on the word "you".

"That means you are not allowed to fall in love?" Xiao Yao guessed.

"That's not true," Yu Luying pursed her lips: "But, you can't."

"Then you still hate me?" Xiao Yao held his forehead.

"Fortunately, Teacher Yao had a long talk with my mother later, and my mother's attitude softened a little." Yu Luying placed the dice in her hands neatly on the iron plate, took out a tissue and wiped her mouth, and then wiped her hands: "

Did you... take a shower after yesterday?"

"Teacher Yao is a good teacher." Xiao Yao decided to just pick up the previous question.

"Teacher Yao is a good teacher." Yu Luying repeated it affirmatively.

"Thank you both." A Qingqi slowly stopped next to the food stall and turned off the engine.

"Teacher Yao!" Both children stood up subconsciously.

A middle-aged man took off his helmet and hugged it to his chest, revealing the sparse top of his head: "You two, you, ah... Yu Luying, it's better not to worry your mother too much, go back as soon as possible."

Yu Luying nodded and picked up her schoolbag: "Goodbye, Teacher Yao."

"Are you leaving?" The next sentence was addressed to Xiao Yao.

Xiao Yao raised his legs and sat astride Qingqi's back seat: "Well, Yu Luying, see you tomorrow."

"..."

"Don't look, they are all gone." Teacher Yao put on his helmet again and started the engine: "Silly boy, we can make peace with each other, I really belong to you."

"Teacher Yao, why does Yu Luying's mother hate me?" Xiao Yao stretched out his hand to hold Teacher Yao's waist.

"She doesn't hate you." Teacher Yao's words were exactly the same as Yu Luying's.

"what is going on?"

"Hey, my parents have other parents' considerations. How can I tell you?" Teacher Yao turned the accelerator and Qingqi sped out.
