The light breeze slowly blows the light gray curtains, and the beige lace lining dances, and the sparse golden sunlight dances and dances like an elf; the melodious and cold string music fits in the soft and dignified piano sound, faint The sadness and loneliness flowed out like this.

Arthur still remembers the day when Lanly left the house and headed to New York.

George and Elizabeth are both at home. Even though Renly had informed of his decision to leave in advance, they were still indifferent and unmoved. They had no intention of changing their daily routines. They went to the restaurant in an orderly manner, reading the newspaper and enjoying it. breakfast.

Elf, Arthur, and Edith were also required to attend. Although there is no such rule, George and Elizabeth issued a rigid rule that day that they must appear at the breakfast table on time and cannot bring up the blue gift. , As if the youngest son of the Hall family had never existed before.

Arthur sat facing the window. Through the window, he could see the scene in the courtyard outside the window. The calm and meticulous pace of life did not seem to have been affected, but the weather in London was rarely clear and soft. The sunlight fell lightly on the treetops, falling looming mottled.

"squeak."

I heard the sound of the chair moving. This is a very rude behavior at the dining table, because the chair must also be carefully raised to avoid the movement of the ground friction, which may disturb other people eating, and then All eyes were projected toward the source of the sound.

"Edith!" Elizabeth's solemn and stern voice came.

Edith, who stood up halfway, stiffened slightly for a moment, and then she said, "I have finished my meal."

"Then sit down and open the letter. Philip, the letter." Elizabeth raised her voice.

Edith looked down at the scattered leftovers on the dinner plate. The mixed tastes did not know how to express it. She tried to resist George and Elizabeth, but after all she lacked a little courage; she tried to sneak out and **** her. Lan Li made a journey, but after all, he still lacked a little impulse.

"...Let's wait for the letter, I'm a little irritable now." Edith resisted cautiously.

"Then close your eyes and take a deep breath." Elizabeth said calmly. At this time, Philip had delivered the letter and placed it on the dining table.

Edith closed her eyes tightly, grabbing the napkin with her right hand and couldn't help but clenched into a fist. She closed it, and then closed it, almost at the edge of the outbreak, but finally managed it. She didn't sit down again, but turned around. Leaving the restaurant in stride, walked towards the tea room next door.

"Edith!" Elizabeth raised her voice slightly and issued a warning, but noticed that Edith did not leave the tea room, and the figure was still within her sight and did not go to **** Lan Li, so she did not continue to stop Yi Dishe.

Arthur retracted his gaze, and the light outside his gaze drifted out of the window absent-mindedly again, and then he saw Lan Li.

The twenty-year-old Lan Li possesses a calmness and elegance that does not match his age. He has a unique temperament between his gestures and gestures. Standing in any corner can easily stand out. He is not sharp but cannot be underestimated. A strong sense of presence is easy. You can capture the sight of others.

It was an early spring morning. Lan Li wore a smoky gray vertical striped shirt and dark green woolen jacket, carrying a dark brown leather suitcase, and left Hall's house step by step. The tall and slender figure did not have any special emotions. This is a short trip out of the spring outing, and I will return again tomorrow. I did not have any firm steps or hesitation in leaving. The light and windy movements are pleasing to the eye.

In comparison, instead, they were all sitting together, and the muscles under the perfect etiquette skin became tense.

They both cared, because they cared too much and were too nervous but deliberately created an illusion of "don't care", and Lan Li was the one who didn't care.

Lan Li stopped in the courtyard and waited for a while, but... there was no driver or helper, he was the only one, alone.

Lan Li didn't panic either, took out his cell phone, dialed the phone, and called a taxi. The waiting time for the taxi was a bit long, but Lan Li never panicked, and just stood there waiting quietly; instead, the atmosphere in the restaurant became tighter and stiffer, and the long wait, yes It is a suffering for them.

Then Philip Demba appeared.

Philip quietly accompanied Lan Li, so that Lan Li was no longer alone. The two did not talk, but stood side by side like that, waiting for the taxi to arrive.

At this time, there was another movement in the tea room. Edith was playing her violin. The harsh string seemed to express her protest, but there was still silence in the restaurant, deathly silence, and no anger was detected. It's as if no one exists at all. Then the melody came out from the tea room

"God is with us."

That day, Edith played the song "God is with us". It was a bit jerky and flustered. The rhythm and pitch seemed to be inaccurate, but Edith still played stubbornly, as if she had returned to her childhood again. At the age of eight and Lanli were five years old, they were all forced to practice songs they didn't like, followed the way of cultivating aristocrats, polished their personalities bit by bit, and evolved into the perfect aristocracy in the eyes of others.

The unmoving and unfavourable violin string sounded thinly, reverberating gently in the room, but Arthur was not sure whether Lanly heard it, because he did not look back, from beginning to end, only at this moment. Only then can he be aware of Lan Li's stubborn refusal to turn back, stubbornly refuse to admit defeat, and stubbornly refuse to compromise. In his own way, he insists on his own choice without hesitation.

The black taxi finally arrived. Philip refused the driver’s help. He personally put Lan Li’s luggage into the rear compartment, and then watched Lan Li get into the taxi, but still did not leave. He stood there watching the taxi grow and grow. Go, Philip just stared at the direction the taxi was leaving for so long.

Arthur's eyes shifted from the taxi to Philip's shoulder. At that moment, he felt lonely as never before, but he never left in his footsteps. He just sat at the dining table from beginning to end; the violin strings in his ears still rang. Edith did not give up. She insisted on playing the whole piece, playing it back and forth twice, then put the violin away, left the tea room, walked through the dining room, and walked towards her room. This time, Elizabeth did not stop Edith again.

Memories have returned from five years ago. Arthur carefully raised his gaze and caught Lan Li's silhouette with his peripheral vision. The face that was not **** because of his illness was full of fatigue, but his expression was incredibly tired. Concentration, as if playing a melody from the sky, the corners of the relaxed mouth lifted up lightly, faintly with a trace of pleasant enjoyment, even if it is lonely, it is also a happy loneliness.

Then Arthur saw Edith with sad eyes.

Arthur lowered his gaze in a panic, concealing his nervousness. He didn't know how to face Renly or how to face Edith. The saddest thing was that he didn't even know how to face himself.

After a melody was played, Lan Li’s joking voice came in his ears, "Some things have not changed, Arthur, can your rhythm be more chaotic? Edith, the melody is at least five wrong. When I get to the back, I have forgotten to count. If Elf is here, she should let us practice a hundred times again."

Edith put the violin down and looked at Lan Li, "Did you hear?"

There were endless questions, but Edith knew that Lanly could understand.

Lan Li didn't want to answer, but Edith stared at Lan Li intently, swearing to give up without getting an answer, and finally Lan Li showed a helpless smile, "The harsh melody is full of loopholes, and it is very difficult to ignore it. , I think it can be used as a spell."

Yes, he heard it.

Edith's cheeks suddenly blushed, and she panicked as if the secret she had hidden deep in her heart had been discovered: she thought Lan Li hadn't heard it.

Arthur sat quietly next to him holding the cello. He tried hard to find clues from Lan Li's expression, but failed. So he simply asked, "Lan Li, are you okay?"

"It's just a small cold. The fever is gone now, there is no problem, but the body is still somewhat weak." Lan Li replied seriously.

Arthur refused to compromise, "You know I am not asking about this."

"So, you don't care about my health at all?" Lan Li asked jokingly, but Arthur didn't back down~lightnovelpub.net~ This made Lan Li show a helpless smile, "Today you two All of them are so aggressive and they are obviously bullying the patient. This means that you had better run away tomorrow, otherwise the consequences will be terrible.” Even if it is a threat, because of illness, there is no usual power, Arthur and The two of Edith would not be afraid at all.

Lan Li noticed it himself, and couldn't help but shook his head slightly.

Both Arthur and Edith know that Lan Li is not the kind of character that is sad for spring and autumn. If there is no special reason, he will not sit at the piano and play today, and he will still play with Edith and Arthur; furthermore , He played "God is with us", which also explains a lot, and there must be other reasons behind it.

After sitting quietly for a while, Lan Li stared at the black and white keys in front of him, waited for his emotions to settle, and then said, "Elizabeth sent a postcard."

what?

Elizabeth Hall? postcard? Wait, what the **** is going on?

"A blank postcard." Lan Li added.
