Chapter Eighty-Nine(1/2)
Qingkong's doubtful eyes made Ling Lie a little hurt. In her eyes, he was so untrustworthy?
However, that flash of injury only passed by for a moment. He was used to hiding his emotions and feelings, let alone her. He didn't want her to see what he was thinking.
"It's just a trophy..." He added calmly. Although Qingkong was confused, he still took out the trophy and handed it over: "Here, if you want it, take it."
Anyway, I already have too many trophies at home, so one less is just so-called.
Ling Lie was surprised. It was given to him so easily?
"You...can't you keep it as a souvenir?" He regretted it as soon as he said the words. He originally asked her for it. If she wanted to go back again, I'm afraid there would be some trouble.
Originally, he was just teasing her, but who knew she would agree so easily, which immediately made him a little confused and a little amused.
"Well, this so-called, it's not a big competition anyway, it's just for fun." Qingkong said it completely. Anyway, the trophies are all gold-plated or gold-plated, so they have no value at all. And she originally came to participate just to chat.
Although she was competing for the purpose of accumulating strength and experience, how could she be stingy and refuse to give to other people on their birthdays?
Qingkong didn't see the black line on Ling Lie's sudden face.[
It's just for fun...so you can give him a trophy that you don't care about?
This girl... really made him dumbfounded, happy and hateful at the same time!
Soon we arrived at a Western restaurant. Qingkong followed Ling Lie and walked in. The restaurant was lit by warm lights and the sound of violins was playing softly. Qingkong couldn't help but look around and saw a woman in her twenties.
Intoxicated, she pulled her to perform for a couple on the side.
Qingkong frowned. Although she was not as old as that woman, she could tell that several of the tunes were wrong and the fingering was wrong! But that was someone else's job. She was just a consumer, and of course she was just doing it.
I felt critical in my heart, but without any expression on my face, I just followed Ling Lie to the seat that seemed to be reserved in advance and sat down.
"What do you like to eat?" Ling Lie raised his head to wake up Qing Kong who was inexplicably distracted, and smiled secretly. This girl really didn't take him seriously. Among the girls sitting opposite him who could easily get distracted... she was the first!
"Oh...steak will be fine." Qingkong wasn't very picky about food, so he ordered a staple food and let Ling Lie make the decision.
After Ling Lie ordered the meal, he found that Qingkong was staring at the place where he had just been distracted, so he also looked up. When he saw it, Ling Lie smiled.
"Do you really like the violin?" This girl had been staring at the woman playing the violin since she came in. She said it was just a casual comparison. If you didn't like it, why would you go to the competition? He actually almost fell for her...
Qingkong was suddenly stunned, and when she raised her head, she realized that she was actually serious about finding fault with others... It was really obsessive-compulsive disorder, it was a disease, and she must be treated.
"It's not that I just watched it because I like it..." She turned her head around with great effort, held the water glass in her hands, and murmured, "She's so bad... I can't help but think about it.
Correct it...the "fault", the "fault", haha..." It's not that I'm arrogant or think how powerful I am. This is a fault that my father taught me since I was little. There can't be a single mistake, even if it doesn't work.
.
Qingkong, who lowered his head, didn't realize that Ling Lie's expression had changed many times after hearing her words. He wanted to cry and laugh but couldn't help it. This girl... was always so special.
Soon all the food was on the table. Qingkong was already hungry, so he picked up the knife and fork and started eating without any politeness. Anyway, he didn't need to maintain an image in front of Ling Dandan, probably because he didn't care much.
, so she didn’t notice that the other party picked up the red wine bottle when she got the gift.
Hearing the voice, Qingkong looked up and found that Ling Lie was pouring wine for her. Qingkong immediately stopped her and said: "I don't drink..." She is still underage, okay.
Ling Lie's men paused, glanced at her and said calmly: "Today is my birthday."
Qingkong paused and thought, so what if it’s my birthday? I also want a trophy, and I’m here to eat with you, so why do you have to drink with me! [
"No!" Qingkong thought for a moment and covered her mouth with the quilt, then said in a very serious and serious tone: "I'm underage. I can't drink. You can't drink if you want me to accompany you to dinner, but you also have to respect me."
Ling Lie originally wanted to tease her, but he never thought that she would move all the minors out. How could he really harm her, so he raised his eyebrows and gave up.
"Okay. What would you like to drink?" He was not angry, but looked at her with a smile.
But this smile was so familiar that Qingkong shuddered inexplicably and remembered the torture he had done to her over the years...
"Well...if you really want to drink, I can take a sip..." She felt that she had been too impulsive and had angered him. She had nothing to eat and it was herself. Who made her actually come to accompany him?
Eating, isn’t this asking for trouble!
Ling Lie smiled and raised his glass. Qingkong immediately put aside his persistence and raised the glass with Ling Lie. Then he said "Happy Birthday" and drank.
A flash of surprise flashed through Ling Lie's eyes, and then he found a look of "suffering" on her face. Finally he understood, smiled, and did it himself.
Naturally, he didn't pour her a second cup. Tomorrow was Sunday and she should have to go to school to make up for classes. He didn't forget that this girl was already in her senior year of high school.
"Play the violin for me, okay?" Ling Lie suddenly suggested again, interrupting Qing Qing who was struggling to finish the last few pieces of steak.
Qingkong was startled and looked up at Ling Lie. Although he was a little hesitant, he still said: "Didn't I give you a birthday gift..."
"Dessert." Ling Lie smiled. He just wanted to see her perform a solo for him, and he also wanted this girl to shine. Didn't you just see that the professional violinist had all the "faults"? He didn't understand the violin.
, but I want to know how big the difference is.
"Can I refuse..." Qingkong didn't want to play the piano for others here. Besides, how important did he really value himself? She had no reason, Yingying.
"Do you think you can do it?" Ling Lie narrowed his eyes and smiled again.
Qingkong immediately stood up and walked towards the service desk almost reflexively.
"Where are you going?" Ling Lie immediately stood up and grabbed her wrist. It would not be fun if she suddenly ran away.
Qingqing turned to look at him discouraged: "Young Master, my violin is in your car. I can borrow it, okay?"
Ling Lie smiled and let go, looking at Qingkong's back and touching his chin with a smile, he finally knew...this girl was really afraid of herself...did he really leave her with so much when he was a child?
shadow?
Qingkong wasn't really afraid of Ling Lie, she just didn't want to fall into his clutches again. Moreover, today was his birthday, and she was the only one who ate with him. She thought that Uncle Ling and
Auntie Nian was too busy to spend time with him, and he might not have any friends just after returning to China, so he felt kindhearted, and... I really wanted to make him think that he had a way to survive here.
Listen to the woman who doesn’t play the violin well!
I borrowed the violin from the manager. Qingkong happened to be wearing a competition dress today, so she played the violin with great grace.
Slowly walking to Ling Lie and her dining table, Qingkong didn't think anything about it. She closed her eyes and started playing the strings seriously... Although she despised the strength of some players, she only had to play the piano every time.
She will devote herself wholeheartedly and use her 100% sincerity and enthusiasm. Her mother said that this is inherited from her father. When he was young, his father also played the piano. However, his father was not as lucky as she was. There was no one in the family and no conditions.
Allow dad to pursue his dreams.
Therefore, her dreams are superimposed and she always works harder.
After finishing the song "Canon", Qingkong opened her eyes and found that Ling Lie had been staring at her, and he was very absorbed in it... She played well, so he was distracted. She was not surprised, she just smiled and turned around to prepare.
She returned the piano, but she didn't notice at all that not only Ling Lie, but also everyone in the restaurant was listening to her. Then she took a step forward, and thunderous applause rushed over to her, drowning her in an instant.
This was Qingkong's first time playing the piano outside of home and competition. She didn't expect to receive so much and warm applause, and she was stunned. She didn't expect... It turned out to be a different mood. It wasn't for a competition, but also for a competition.
Not practicing by yourself at home, but outside, recognized by strangers.
Qingkong was a little embarrassed. After returning the piano, she didn't expect that the manager would pull her over and ask her eagerly if she wanted to work in the restaurant. He was willing to hire her with a high salary... Then Ling Lie came over and pulled her over.
go out.
After returning to the car, Qingkong's pounding heart calmed down a bit.
Ling Lie remained silent until he sent her home and the car parked outside their villa, then he turned to look at her.
Although he didn't understand the violin, he saw her most beautiful glory at that moment. At that moment, he realized that this girl was not playing a solo for herself. She was enjoying it with her eyes closed... Moreover, she was also being played by herself.
Everyone appreciated it.
He knew that she was pulling it perfectly.
But she didn't even look at him the whole time, which made him feel extremely complicated.
She's not young anymore... She's seventeen. Over the years, he has been thinking about letting her grow up quickly, but at this moment, he feels that she is very strange. She is no longer the person he knew when he was a child. He can let him bully and look at her.
She cried that she was a little girl who was in a good mood, but she felt that she had really grown up beautifully... The brilliance emanating from her whole body almost took away all his eyes in that song.
It's really an extremely terrifying thing.
"Oh, I'm home." Qingkong didn't pay attention to Ling Lie's thousands of changes in his mood. He turned around and prepared to get off the car. He didn't go back that night. I wonder if his parents and uncle were worried?
However, they didn't call, so they shouldn't be worried.
Qingkong comforted herself, got out of the car, said goodbye, and prepared to go in without inviting Ling Lie.
Ling Lie was a little helpless, but he quickly rushed forward, grabbed Qingkong, and dragged her aside. He sighed and asked her, "Just leave like this?"
"Huh...?" Qingkong was stunned for a moment, otherwise...what?
"Should I say goodbye properly?" He was so perfunctory. It seemed that he really needed to work hard to get her eyes to fall on him.
"Then...goodbye?" Qingkong really didn't understand. Did this Ling Demon change his gender today? Or was it because it was his birthday that he looked different from usual?
"...Yeah." Although Ling Lie said yes, he did not let go of Qingkong immediately, but still looked at her with a faint gaze, which made the ugly Qingkong feel a little panicked.
"That...I, I still want to go home..."
"I'll ask you out again in a few days. Come out." Ling Lie finally let go of Qingkong, took a small step back, and looked at her white face under the shadow of the street lamp.
Qingkong blinked and thought, is it okay? Ask her out? She panicked and immediately shook her head.
"Don't refuse." Ling Lie suddenly smiled, reached out and touched Qingkong's head, and without giving her any further words of refusal, he turned around, got in the car, and walked away.
Qingkong held her violin for a long time before whispering in a low voice: "Is this person suffering from schizophrenia... Are we so familiar with him?" He also asked her out and refused to refuse? Could it be that next time?
Is this the beginning of trying to punish her again?
Qingkong shook his head with a chill, turned around and entered the door of his villa.
