"Really? Master, do you believe me so much?" Su Tong's eyes lit up, and she wrapped her arms around Yan Luo with a smile, her little face full of expectation.
"The one who truly believes in you is yourself." Yan Luo chuckled, meaningfully.
Su Tong nodded in understanding, glanced at the title page of the book from the corner of her eye, and clung to him like a baby: "Master, can you go buy a harmonica and give it to me? It says that beginners can do it.
Use an instrument.”
"Harmonica?" Yan Luo frowned, and suddenly thought of the piccolo from back then, "Don't you want to use the flute?"
"Flute?" Su Tong paused for a long time in confusion, then shook his head and said the reason directly, "It's not easy to carry."
"The flute Xuanyuan Hao gave you is not..." He stopped mid-sentence and almost let it slip that the flute Xuanyuan Hao gave her was also very convenient to carry.
"What?" Su Tong looked at him eagerly, waiting for a long time without waiting for Yan Luo's next sentence.
"It's nothing. I'll take you to buy it tomorrow." Yan Luoqing smiled lightly, the doting look in his eyes became even more intense, and he curled up his lips, "That's good. Since our Tongtong works so hard, Master will cook by himself today."
, this is an encouragement to you!”
"Master is so good!" Su Tong cheered and jumped onto Yan Luo's hand excitedly. Two thin arms were hung around Yan Luo's neck, "Master, you are really one of the top ten good men!"
"Then do you like Master?" Yan Luo was startled, and suddenly he couldn't bear to pull her away from him. He pondered for a long time and asked abruptly, his face a little unnatural.
"I like it!" Su Tong blurted out, leaning her head on Yan Luo's shoulder and complaining, "Master, you don't even know how to hug me? I'm very tired hanging like this..."
"Yeah, okay." Yan Luo smiled bitterly and curled his lips, hugging her with his backhand, burying all the bitterness in his heart - she said she liked him, but she answered so quickly and so frankly...
He instantly understood that the "like" she answered was not the "like" he asked.
That's all, Tongtong, master is waiting for you to grow up.
Let’s talk about it when we grow up...
"Have you hugged me enough?" After a while, his deep and steady voice sounded in the quiet room, and he patted Su Tong on the back as a reminder.
The big palm touched the bones on her back, and Yan Luo felt a little distressed. He often went out to do tasks. When she was at home alone, didn't she know how to take good care of herself? She was so thin...
I really want to make her stronger, and then I can feel more at ease by taking her with me.
"Well..." Su Tong responded vaguely, tilted his head towards her neck, and fell asleep.
At fourteen years old, she is still only a half-grown child.
Since she was a child, there has been no love in her world. What there is is how to survive by relying on her own abilities. And the appearance of Yan Luo seems to cast a beam of light in her life. The word "master" means
A godlike presence in her soul.
Master's embrace is really warm, really...like a home.
"You..." Yan Luo paused, and finally couldn't help but sneered. He patted Su Tong on the back. Seeing that she didn't wake up, he carefully carried her back to his room, then closed the door and walked out.
.
But, can’t you always skip a meal at night?
So, half an hour later——
"Tongtong!" He frowned and looked at the ball on the bed tangledly - I really don't know how her sleepwear became so powerful! It can actually roll itself into a tight spring roll shape!
How...how did you get involved?
"Tongtong?" He tried to put his finger on the place that should be considered his shoulder.
The person on the bed didn't move at all.
"Tongtong?" He was a little anxious and pushed hard with his big palm.
"Well..." A lazy groan came from the quilt, and the big spring roll on the bed rolled to the side, and he continued to sleep soundly.
"Su Tong!" Yan Luo shook his head helplessly, and finally raised his voice, shouting out his name and surname.
"Ah?" Su Tong was suddenly awakened from her sleep. She was startled and jumped up reflexively. However, because of the spring roll wrapped around her body, her center of gravity was unstable and she rolled to the ground with a "ping" sound.
It knocked over a lot of things.
it hurts……
She shrank miserably into the quilt, her whole little face almost distorted.
"What's wrong?" Yan Luo rushed over anxiously and helped her up from the ground. Looking at the red mark on her forehead, he couldn't help but feel heartache - it was all his fault...
"Has your appearance been disfigured?" Seeing Yan Luo's self-reproaching expression, Su Tong was so nervous that she almost cried. She stretched out her little hand to her forehead, and when it touched the wound, she "hissed" in pain and quickly removed her hand.
return.
Wow, Master looked at her with such "pity", she must have lost her appearance!
"Not yet..." Her look made Yan Luo couldn't help but laugh.
He grabbed her arm to help her stand up, and looked her up and down: "Did you bump into it elsewhere?"
"No... no, there is!" Su Tong glanced at Yan Luo hatefully, curled her lips with a wicked smile, and suddenly jumped up, landing on Yan Luo's body, her arms tightly
She hugged his neck from behind and started to pretend, "Oh Master, my legs hurt so much. What should I do? I'm going to be disabled... Master, hurry up and carry me to dinner to regain the strength in your legs!"
Get your leg strength back?
Yan Luo's mouth twitched because of the thunder. He lowered his head and saw her slippers on the floor, and pointed firmly: "Go down to eat by yourself, or else, I won't take you to buy a harmonica tomorrow."
"Damn!" Su Tong couldn't help shouting, "Stingy!"
Having said that, she still jumped down muttering, took off her clothes and went to the kitchen to eat.
Yan Luo looked at her back helplessly and shook his head. He leaned over to help her pick up the quilt and fold it again - she was only 14 years old, and she was really a simple and easy-to-deceive little girl...
Yan Luo suddenly regretted that during their first encounter, he blurted out and asked her to call him master.
Master...
This heavy title separated them instantly.
***********
The next day.
Su Tong hid in the bathroom, stood in front of the mirror and fiddled with it for a long time, then finally gritted her teeth, opened the door and walked out.
Yan Luo was sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper. When he heard the noise, he raised his head and glanced at her. When his eyes came into contact with her little face, he couldn't help but be shocked: "Tongtong, what are you doing?"
She rolled out of bed yesterday and hit her forehead. There was also a bruise on the left side of her face. Her whole face looked as if she had just experienced domestic violence. In order to cover up the bruises, Su Tong creatively used band-aids to cover up the bruises.
Those traces are all pasted up.
So, half of the face was covered with tape...
Yan Luo really wanted to describe her behavior in four words - a rare commodity!
This look is completely beyond the realm of weird!
"If I put it up, it won't be so ugly!" Su Tong replied proudly, smiling sinisterly, "Master, you said you were going to buy me a harmonica today, so you can't lie, hurry up and leave!
"
After saying that, without waiting for Yan Luo to speak, he directly pulled his long coat from the entrance, covered him, and then rushed to change his shoes first.
It's been a long time since she went shopping with Master!
Master has been away on a mission for nearly a month...so when I make a request to Master, I must satisfy it as soon as possible, otherwise I will have to wait a long time for it to be fulfilled!
"Tongtong..." Yan Luo opened his mouth, but hesitated. He wanted to advise her that it was not appropriate to go out with such a face, but when he met the expectation in her eyes, he suppressed all the words.
Go down.
He couldn't bear to ruin any of her expectations, just as he cherished every minute he spent with her.
"...Okay." After pursing his lips, Yan Luo finally put down the newspaper in his hand, put on his long coat, and followed Su Tong out.
******************************
He is 20 years old and she is 14 years old; he is 1.90 meters and she is 1.55 meters.
Walking hand in hand on the street, a nondescript combination.
To say that they are father and daughter, is the "father" too young? To say that they are lovers, is the "woman" too young? Therefore, in the eyes of passers-by, there is only one possible explanation left - brother and sister!
"Master, what's going on? They won't notice the injury on my face, right?" On the street, Su Tong pulled Yan Luo's clothes like a treasure and said with a smile.
"Well..." Yan Luo responded, with a deep smile in his eyes, "Others will only see the band-aid on your face."
This silly girl is so happy when people are watching her.
"What's the point?" Su Tong snorted, with a good attitude, "It means I have money. I bought a band-aid to put on my face!"
"You!" Yan Luo shook his head, couldn't help but bend his index finger, tapped her forehead, and then pulled her into a large shopping mall...
**********
Standing at the counter selling musical instruments was a young girl. When she saw Su Tong and Yan Luo coming in, she stood up and greeted them enthusiastically.
Looking at their clasped hands, the clerk pushed up the pair of thousand-degree glasses on the bridge of his nose: "Please have a seat. What do you two want to buy?"
"Harmonica!" Su Tong excitedly rushed over and lay on the counter, looking at the various musical instruments inside, her eyes shining with excitement, and she couldn't help but think about it - if she could learn all the instruments here,
In this way, you can bring nothing with you in the future. Wherever you go, you can just pick up something from the side and hypnotism can be used wherever you go...
"Harmonica?" When the clerk heard this, he walked away with a smile. While rummaging through the cabinet, he praised nonchalantly, "There are fewer and fewer couples coming to buy musical instruments now. You guys are so rare!
Nowadays, more and more people listen to mp3..."
The clerk was muttering over there, Yan Luo's face turned slightly red, and Su Tong was already pursed her lips, trying hard to hold back a smile - couple?!
Hahaha, this person thinks they are a couple!
"Miss, do you like this?" The salesperson took out a blues harmonica with a golden gravel luster on it. It has a beautiful appearance, luxurious yet simple.
"I like it." Su Tong's eyes lit up, and she touched the beautiful harmonica with a look of joy in her eyes. Then she turned to Yan Luo and asked, "Can I buy this?"
Very beautiful, but the price is so expensive...
"As long as you like it." Yan Luo leaned over, placed his hands on both sides of her, leaned over to look at the counter, and held her in his arms in an absolutely possessive manner.
Beautiful, pampering, full of protection and security.
The young clerk was stunned. Although Su Tong's face was covered with band-aids and did not fit the image of a heroine, the male protagonist in front of her was simply the best among handsome guys!
"You are so happy..." She looked at the two guests in front of her stupidly, and finally murmured a sigh.
"Yes, we are very happy!" Su Tong nodded heavily, raised a bright smile, and turned around, "right? Master!"
The sound of "Master" made Yan Luo's heart sink suddenly. The illusion of true happiness disappeared in an instant, and a faint loneliness filled his eyes.
The clerk next to him was also quite surprised. He opened his mouth in surprise and moved his fingers back and forth between the two of them for several rounds: "Master? Master?!"
"I am her master." Yan Luo corrected softly. Listening to the nymphomaniac clerk calling "Master" repeatedly, he couldn't help but feel a little upset.
However, this so-called upset was just a reflection of the loss in his heart - she reminded him with a cry of "Master" that it was him who had personally created such a gap between the two.
If you like it, it is immoral.
"Okay, okay, Master." Su Tong shook his arm, "Just buy this, Master, let's go home."
This was the first gift he gave her when she was 14 years old. It was also the first instrument she learned to use when she was learning hypnotism, and it would also be the last instrument she would use when she leaves this world...
