"Okay." Han Xu was not too sad after being rejected. He nodded to show that he understood.

As they were talking, the two of them had already walked out of the alley and onto the brightly lit road.

"Let's go, byebye."

Han Xu waved his hand, put one hand in his pocket, and strode away in a cool manner.

“…”

His hands, which hadn't yet reacted to the goodbye, were still dazedly placed in his pockets. Lin Zhiyi curled up the knuckles that had been touched and rubbed them gently.

He turned and walked in the opposite direction.

On the way back, my roommate sent me a message saying that there had been several robberies near the restaurant where he worked recently and asked him to be careful.

Lin Zhiyi inexplicably thought of the tall young man he had just met.

When he looked over, he had the illusion that he was being waited for.

It's a coincidence.

…

Lin Zhiyi discovered that after getting to know someone, he would see them often.

For example, now.

When he entered the piano room he often went to, Lin Zhiyi discovered that there was another person sitting by the window.

The handsome young man crossed his legs, held the music sheet in one hand, and looked at it very seriously.

"Want to play the piano?"

Han Xu looked up and met Lin Zhiyi's gaze, which he hadn't had time to look away, and his lips curled up.

The first two times we met, we were too far away or the light was dim. This time, when we were closer, I discovered that the other person had a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes.

The corners of her eyes are slightly raised, and she always smiles when she looks at people, with an indescribable affection.

Lin Zhiyi blinked uncomfortably, avoiding the intense gaze. "I didn't know you were here. I'll pack my things and go somewhere else."

"I can't play the piano." Han Xu shook the music sheet. "I'm just a little interested in piano, so I just took a look."

"I heard you're a rare talent in the piano department, having won several awards." He propped his chin on one hand and looked over at me with a smile. "If you don't mind, could I audit your class... Senior Lin?"

Lin Zhiyi guessed that Han Xu might be from the south, otherwise why would the upward curve of his tone when he spoke be the same as that of his schoolmate... like he was acting coquettishly.

Lin Zhiyi felt a little uncomfortable, remembering what he had said before: "Aren't you going to the party?"

"It's vacation time and everyone has gone home. It would be boring to have a party with just a few people." Han Xu shrugged.

That's true. The other person looks like the type who likes to be lively.

Lin Zhiyi nodded, agreeing to Han Xu's previous request, and nodded: "If you don't find it boring, you can sit in on the class."

They usually have to perform and are used to being watched under the spotlight, so they don't mind people listening in on their practice.

Sitting in front of the piano, Lin Zhiyi pressed the first key.

The beautiful and smooth piano music flows slowly in the room.

But soon, Lin Zhiyi felt something was wrong.

Normally, there would be classmates or younger students watching during practice, but no one was like Han Xu... He kept staring at other people's faces...

Half an hour later, Lin Zhiyi stopped and turned to look at Han Xu.

The other party had no intention of looking away at all, and kept supporting his face with one hand, looking at me with burning eyes.

Lin Zhiyi subconsciously didn't dare to look directly at the gaze that was so direct and passionate, and looked away.

But he was also a little annoyed because of his own avoidance.

What's there to hide?

"If you're not here to listen to the piano, please go out." Lin Zhiyi said sternly.

"I didn't want to either, but the moment I saw your face, I couldn't move my eyes." Han Xu stretched out his legs. The piano room was very narrow, and his sneakers lightly touched Lin Zhiyi's calves as he moved. "Senior, I'm sorry. Please forgive me?"

He spoke with a drawn-out voice, sounding a bit lazy and rogue, but his beautiful eyes were filled with an intimate smile that made it hard to get angry.

We've only met a few times, are we that familiar with each other?

Lin Zhiyi pursed his lips and compromised: "Then close your eyes."

Han Xu closed his eyes obediently.

Lin Zhiyi continued to play the piano.

This time, Han Xu was very obedient and never opened his eyes again.

After the piano practice time was over, Lin Zhiyi cleaned up the piano room, folded the music score and put it into his schoolbag. When he turned around, he saw that Han Xu still had his eyes closed.

The corners of his lips were raised, and I didn't know what he was happy about.

Lin Zhiyi cleared his throat and said, "I'm done. If you don't need the piano room anymore, I'll close it."

Han Xu then opened his eyes and followed him out.

For several days after that, Han Xu was there whenever Lin Zhiyi arrived.

When playing the piano, he would consciously close his eyes.

Occasionally, after the meeting, the two would walk for a while and say goodbye at the intersection, and they got along quite well.

Christmas Eve is approaching quickly.

Lin Zhiyi received a message from Han Xu, asking him if he was free on Christmas Eve to have dinner together.

He was originally going to play the piano in a restaurant tonight, but the boss said the restaurant was booked out, so he gave him two days of paid leave.

Since he had some free time and nothing else to do, Lin Zhiyi agreed.

Slender knuckles gently tapped the words:

[Okay, you can book the restaurant.]

…

"Why are you suddenly laughing so disgustingly when chatting with me?"

On the other end of the video call, a girl who looked somewhat similar to Han Xu frowned and looked as if she had eaten a fly.

"Guess." Han Xu raised his eyebrows.

"It seems like you're living well over there." Han Yu sighed, "Brother."

"What do you mean here and there?" Han Xu's mouth twitched slightly. "You make it sound like I'm dead."

"I'm bored to death when you're not home." Han Yu curled his lips. "That old man brings women home every day. How disgusting!"

"He's already showing mercy by not giving you a brother or sister." Han Xu raised his eyebrows.
