These days when Yin Mu is at home, except when he practices with Xie Feng, he basically plays the flute when he has free time.
Lu Ya told the two children that the sound of the flute would remind Hua Ling of her parents. Xie Feng innocently asked: "Why don't you go home and have a look?"
After hearing this, Lu Ya chuckled and touched Xie Feng's head: "You can't say this to your father."
Because Yin Mu was older than Xie Feng, it was easier to understand: "It seems that our family's experiences have been tragic."
"Oh... So Dad, like us, lost his biological parents. Maybe I shouldn't suggest playing the flute in an ensemble." Xie Feng buried his head in his arms in disappointment, sat on a chair by the door, and huddled up.
Yin Mu held his chin and said with a smile: "I don't think dad cares about this kind of thing. If he is really sad, a normal person would not want to touch the flute, let alone play it."
"However, the sound of dad's flute is really nice." Xie Feng Tuanzhu leaned his head out and listened to the music around him. "When I listen to it, I always feel like I have traveled a thousand years ago..."
"That's true, and I always feel like I've heard this melody somewhere before, but it doesn't quite look like it. Was it created by my father?"
Yin Mu looked at Lu Ya, his eyes full of doubts.
Lu Ya recalled that when he and Hua Ling traveled together in the past, Hua Ling played folk songs from different regions in various places, and sometimes combined them.
"Probably not, it's just...chowder?"
Xie Feng didn't quite understand Lu Ya's explanation. Yin Mu thought about it and understood: "No wonder sometimes the style suddenly changes. It's fusion."
When the sky gets dark, the street lamp in front of the door lights up. Occasionally, a few children will pass by or come to buy snacks.
This includes Xie Feng’s classmates, because there are relatively few canteens nearby and most of them are residential buildings.
"Hey, Xie Feng, do you want to go play ball tonight? I heard you have a pretty girl." The classmates bought a few bottles of drinks and patted Xie Feng on the shoulder when they walked out of the canteen.
Yin Mu was sitting next to Xie Feng, chatting on his mobile phone. After hearing what Xie Feng said, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Xie Feng, bumping Xie Feng's arm with his elbow: "Pretty sister~"
Xie Feng is already taller than Yin Mu, and is considered one of the tallest among his classmates. After being teased by Yin Mu, he still scratched his hair and smiled awkwardly, waving to his classmates: "Forget it, forget it."
"Why--"
"Hey - why, don't worry about me, my good brother~"
Yin Mu and his classmates sighed together. Some classmates thought Xie Feng was a sister-in-law.
Xie Feng scratched his head, looked back at Hua Ling, who was sitting in the room and looking at his account book, and said, "I haven't practiced guitar yet today."
After the two waved off the classmates, Yin Mu poked Xie Feng's waist with his finger, causing Xie Feng to itch and cover his hands. Yin Mu asked with a smile, "Do you like music so much?"
"Hmm... it's hard to say." Xie Feng scratched his cheek with his index finger, looking a little embarrassed.
Yin Mu lowered her eyelids and raised her eyebrows, as if she had seen something interesting. She leaned into Xie Feng, put her arms around his shoulders, and whispered in her ear: "If there is anything you don't want to say, please tell me?"
"Then I'm telling you, you are not allowed to tell the third person." Xie Feng said in a low voice.
Yin Mu smiled cheerfully: "Who am I? I am your sister. Once I say something, it is hard to follow."
Xie Feng looked at Yin Mu and felt unreliable, but he still said: "I am composing a song and plan to play it in the class during the National Day. That song is a 40th birthday gift for my father."
"Uh..." Yin Mu was stunned after hearing this, "Dad...he's forty..."
Yin Mu's mind was full of: Damn it, he doesn't remember how old his father is at all, this kid remembers it very clearly.
"Sister, it's okay if you can't remember my father's age. Anyway, he doesn't show his age. Everyone says he is only in his twenties."
"a ha ha ha……"
Yin Mu rubbed Xie Feng's head in embarrassment. Even though Hua Ling and Lu Ya could accurately tell the age and birth date of the two siblings, the two siblings seemed to know nothing about them.
Judging from the appearance of Hua Ling and Lu Ya, it would be no exaggeration to say that they are their elder brothers. They are such handsome young men.
"Show me your score?"
"Okay, come with me."
The siblings moved stools and chairs into the room, said hello to Hua Ling, and went up the stairs to Xie Feng's bedroom. Xie Feng took out his notebook from the drawer.
The study and the bedroom are different rooms. Xie Feng placed the notebook in the bedroom, which means that it is very important.
Xie Feng opened the notebook, and the two of them saw the notes that Xie Feng had revised again and again. Xie Feng had sorted them out again and again, and revised them many times.
Xie Feng was very proud when he showed his notes to Yin Mu. He was confident in his arrangement.
"I don't understand this thing, but I should be able to hear you play by then, right?"
"Yeah! I will definitely satisfy dad." Xie Feng put away his notebook and pushed Yin Mu out of the room.
After Yin Mu walked out of the room, Xie Feng originally wanted to go downstairs together, but he seemed to suddenly remember something and asked Yin Mu to leave first, while he went back to the room to take a look before leaving.
Yin Mu shrugged and planned to go to the study to get a book to read.
While Yin Mu was selecting books in the study, she suddenly heard a loud scream coming from Xie Feng's room. The sound was sharp, and the owner of the sound was obviously greatly frightened.
When Yin Mu reached for the book, he was frightened and ran out of the study in three steps. Before he reached Xie Feng's room, he was bumped into by Xie Feng who rushed out of the room.
Hua Ling and Lu Ya were also startled when they heard the shouting. They went upstairs to check the situation: "What's wrong?"
Yin Mu held Xie Feng in his arms. Xie Feng was frightened and trembled. He stuck his head out to look at Hua Ling and Lu Ya, and said in a trembling voice: "I saw a ghost...it's wet...it's still...
Two! So scary..."
After hearing this, Lu Ya looked at Hua Ling. Hua Ling was obviously stunned for a moment, then stepped forward to comfort Xie Feng: "I'm not afraid. Where are you? The room?"
"Well, just standing in front of the closet..."
Lu Ya touched Hua Ling's palm covertly and walked into Xie Feng's room. He walked out a minute later and spread his hands with a smile: "There is nothing. Did you see it wrong?"
Xie Feng was frightened into a daze, with tears streaming down his face. Hua Ling wiped Xie Feng's face with a tissue in his pocket.
Xie Feng looked into the room again: "Really?"
"Really, if you don't believe me, everyone will come in with you. You won't be afraid if you have someone with you, right?" Lu Ya raised his hand and touched Xie Feng's head, carefully comforting him.
The four of them walked into Xie Feng's room together and did not see anything strange.
Xie Feng also knew that what he had just done was ugly. His ears had been red since he came out of Yin Mu's arms: "It's strange... he was standing here just now."
Hua Ling and Lu Ya looked at each other and then looked behind Lu Ya. They smiled and then looked at Xie Feng: "Maybe you saw it wrong, or maybe the ghost passing by was teasing you."
"That's right. It's almost Zhongyuan. If my brother is so timid, he will definitely be teased to pieces." Yin Mu teased Xie Feng.
Xie Feng did not refute, because he was indeed afraid of ghosts. He was also afraid of the dark when he was a child, so he slept with Hua Ling until he was eleven years old.
Xie Feng pouted: "But it's really scary. If you see it, you will scream."
"Really? Then we have to show up." Yin Mu made a face at Xie Feng.
