Glancing at Xiao Bao's class schedule on her phone, and seeing that he had finished his classes at four o'clock in the afternoon, Ye Li finished her work, said goodbye to Wan Mingyi, and went home.
The car was parked outside the door, and before Ye Li even entered, she heard the melodious sound of a piano.
Upon entering, I saw Aunt Lan wiping her hands with her apron while looking up at the upstairs with a smile on her face.
Even though you can't see anything, listening to it is a pleasure.
The light and cheerful serenade, occasionally interspersed with a few discordant notes, is clearly a four-hand duet by two people.
It could only be Li Xueqing and Xiao Bao; there's no other than that.
A smile involuntarily appeared on Ye Li's face.
After changing into her pajamas in her room, Ye Li tiptoed to the music room on the third floor.
The door was open, and in front of the piano by the wall, Li Xueqing was elegant and Xiao Bao was handsome. The two profiles of the old woman and the child made the scene look exceptionally beautiful and serene.
When the song ended, applause erupted.
Xiao Bao turned his head, a smile appearing on his serious little face, and slid off the piano bench, running towards Ye Li.
"Mom, are you tired?"
Holding Xiao Bao's hand in one hand and linking arms with Li Xueqing in the other, Ye Li asked as she went downstairs.
Li Xueqing shook her head, "It's been a long time since I've played so comfortably."
When Ye Mushen was around, she would play and he would listen; even if she didn't play well, people would still flatter and praise her.
He's gone. When she plays it again, Li Xueqing herself feels that the notes are dry and soulless.
But now, Xiao Bao has arrived.
The little guy is quick to learn and has a keen ear. Although he doesn't know many pieces, he can immediately spot any mistakes she makes.
After a while, Li Xueqing lost the carefree attitude she had shown before, playing whatever she wanted without any particular style.
She played so earnestly for so long, and the sadness in her heart was still there, but the knots of depression that were choking her heart seemed to have flown out the window with the musical notes.
I felt refreshed and invigorated.
When Fu Yanci returned, he saw Ye Li and Li Xueqing sitting on either side of Xiao Bao, the three of them watching cartoons with great interest.
Li Xueqing rubbed Xiaobao's head, "There are no difficult jobs, only brave dogs!"
Ye Li raised her arms and shouted, "Brave dogs, charge forward!"
Xiao Bao smiled and sighed: How childish!
Fu Yanci: ...
New Year's Eve is in three days.
During the meal, Li Xueqing made the final decision, "Ali, you and Yan Ci go back to the Fu family. If you have time on the first or second day of the Lunar New Year, come back and we can have a meal together as a family."
"That won't do!"
Ye Li shook her head, "I want to stay up with you to celebrate the New Year!"
This is the first Lunar New Year's Eve without Ye Mushen. Logically and emotionally, Ye Li cannot leave her mother to spend it alone.
Fu Yanci smiled and said, "Mom, how about this? On New Year's Eve afternoon, Ali and I will go back to the Fu family home, have dinner, and I'll take her back. Ali will stay up with you tonight to celebrate the New Year, and I'll go back to keep Grandma company."
Don't worry!
Seeing Li Xueqing's disapproving expression, Fu Yanci smiled and said, "Let Ali come back to the old house with me next year, one year each, that's much fairer!"
"Great idea! It's settled then!"
Ye Li made the final decision.
"mom……"
A cheerful voice rang out, accompanied by the sound of an iron gate opening and closing.
In the restaurant, everyone was taken aback.
Ye Li reacted the fastest, dropping her chopsticks and running outside, shouting, "Sister, you're finally back!"
The villa door opened, and a pretty girl with a bright and cheerful appearance, wearing a camel coat, walked in pushing a suitcase.
"Xiao Li..."
Lan Lan opened her arms to catch Ye Li, who rushed towards her, and smiled as she looked at Aunt Lan and Li Xueqing who came out, "Mom, Aunt Xue, I'm back."
"I've been waiting for you for so long, you're finally back!"
"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."
The smiles on Li Xueqing and Aunt Lan's faces deepened.
Looking at Fu Yanci, who was leading Xiaobao at the back, Lan Lan patted Ye Li's shoulder and let go of her. She nodded to Fu Yanci and said, "Hello, Master Fu, I am Lan Lan, Aunt Lan's daughter."
"Hello."
Fu Yanci nodded.
Look at Lan Lan, whose temperament is as elegant as an orchid and whose demeanor is as gentle as a sister.
Then look at Ye Li, who has been clinging to Lan Lan's arm ever since they met, calling her "sister" this and "sister" that, following her everywhere like a little shadow.
A bad feeling crept into Fu Yanci's heart.
Ten minutes later, my premonition came true.
