"Hmm?" Shi Jin was slightly stunned. He raised his head and his eyes happened to meet a pair of deep black eyes.

Just like the starry sky above our heads, so bright and boundless.

"Castle in the Sky."

Shi Jin bent her lips, her light-colored eyes tinged with light: "I want to hear this."

The people at the edge of the square had not yet left, but when they saw someone walking towards the piano, they all gathered around again.

Yu Ci opened the piano lid and tried the sound.

The pitch is average, but you can't expect too much from a roadside piano.

He took out his cell phone and looked up the piano score of "Castle in the Sky". After familiarizing himself with it briefly, he put the phone aside.

Before starting to play, Yu Ci looked up at the crowd.

Although there were many people around, he could still find a familiar figure in the crowd at a glance.

The two girls were pushed to the front row by the crowd behind them.

The girl in the red skirt patted her companion and said, "Hey, that handsome guy seems to be looking over here, and he even opened his mouth! Did he say something?"

The companion squinted his eyes and looked carefully: "No, it was just lip-syncing."

The girl in the red skirt was disappointed: "Then did you see what he said?"

“I didn’t see it.” The girl who was traveling with me shook her head: “But he did say that to us, so he probably knows someone here.”

The girl in the red skirt sighed, a little disappointed: "I really want to know what he said."

present for you;

This is what he said.

When thinking.

Melodious piano music sounded in the center of the square, and the beautiful music attracted more people.

There were murmurs of discussion and praise from the crowd behind me.

"It's "Castle in the Sky". I thought I heard it wrong."

“This level seems pretty good.”

"The guy playing the piano is so handsome. I want to hear him sing. His voice must be nice too."

Shi Jin didn't care about their discussions. He stood quietly in the crowd, listening silently.

When the song ended, the crowd around burst into warm applause.

Yu Ci curled the corners of his lips, and his eyes accurately caught a familiar figure in the crowd.

He strode toward the crowd.

Those who had not left followed him all the way, watching him stride up to a handsome young man.

"Do you like it?" Yu Ci asked.

Shi Jin looked up at him.

There was a smile in those familiar peach blossom eyes at this moment, and the expectation was hidden deep in the eyes, but it was still caught by Shi Jin.

He curled his lips and said, "I like it very much."

Yu Ci raised the corners of his lips, and the smile in his eyes completely escaped his eyes: "As long as you like it."

The people around them surrounded them and shouted for an encore.

Yu Ci lowered his head: "Do you still want to listen?"

Shi Jin hesitated for a moment.

The performance seemed to have officially begun on the stage. More and more people came to Flower Street, and the square became more crowded.

The place where Shi Jin was originally standing was also pushed forward. He was afraid that there would be more people later, so he finally shook his head: "...Next time."

Yu Ci guessed his thoughts and raised his eyebrows slightly: "I'll play it for you when we get back."

Shi Jin: "Is there a piano at home?"

Yu Ci liked the word "home" he used very much: "There is a piano room on the second floor. I'll take you up there to see it next time."

He escorted the person out of the square and said, "If you want to learn, I can teach you."

Shi Jin: “Okay.”

The two of them walked back to the main road of Flower Street against the crowd with some difficulty.

There is a cake shop not far away, and it does good business.

Yu Ci looked at her for a few seconds, then remembered that Shi Jin loved sweets: "Would you like some cake?"

These words floated in the air for a few seconds, and were finally trampled under the feet of the crowded crowd and completely dissipated.

Yu Ci waited for a few seconds but received no answer. He glanced sideways and found that the person who had just followed him was nowhere to be seen.

Yu Ci: “......!!”

He turned around quickly, using his height advantage to quickly patrol the crowd, and finally found the person in a corner at the rear right.

Shi Jin was jostled by the crowd. Many passersby wanted to talk to him because of his good looks, but were discouraged by the coldness he showed when he lowered his eyes.

When Yu Ci brought him out of the crowd, Shi Jin's windbreaker was already wrinkled.

Shi Jin pursed her lips and used her free hand to smooth down the messy corners of her clothes.

Yu Ci was stunned to see some grievance on his expressionless face. He tried to hold it back but couldn't, and finally he obeyed his heart and put his hand on Shi Jin's head.

When Shi Jin looked up, Yu Ci ignored the umbrella above his head with a natural expression: "It got wet by the rain."

Shi Jin hummed, then lowered her head to press down the raised corner of her clothes.

so cute.

It’s easy to lose.

As Yu Ci thought this, his eyes swept through the crowd and finally stopped at a stall not far away.

He looked at the things on the stall, then looked down at the young man's cold white profile, and a bold idea came to his mind: "Shi Jin."

Shi Jin raised his head: "Hmm?"

"What animal do you like?"

Shi Jin paused slightly and prepared to speak.

"Except rabbits and cats." Yu Ci saw his thoughts and ruled them out for him first. He chuckled and gave two choices: "Tiger and fox, which one do you like?"

Shi Jin hesitated for a moment: "Fox."

Yu Ci, who thought he would choose Tiger, raised his eyebrows and said, "Okay."

He led his people to a roadside stall and asked the stall owner for a small stool: "Sit here and wait for me for a while, I will be back soon."

Shi Jin's brows were slightly frowned.

He looked at the pink stool at his feet, then glanced at Yu Ci, suspecting that he was treating him like a child: "...I won't sit, you go."

It’s okay not to sit.

Yu Ci roughly estimated the distance and it would only take five minutes to go back and forth: "Okay, then you wait for me."

The man's tall figure quickly blended into the crowd.

Shi Jin lowered his eyes and continued to straighten the wrinkled corners of his clothes.

The stall owner next to her was an older grandmother. She looked at Shi Jin lowering her head to adjust her clothes and said with a smile, "You two have a very good relationship."

Shi Jin paused in adjusting the corner of his clothes and thought for a moment.

He doesn't have many friends. Among his peers, besides Shi Jian and Shi Yi, the one he has the most interactions with is Yu Ci.

If he made a list in his mind, Yu Ci would at least be in the top three.

Thinking of this, Shi Jin nodded slightly: "Well, it's pretty good."

The mother-in-law smiled kindly: "Have you met your parents?"

He had just seen Zhong Ling on the roadside half an hour ago.

Shi Jin nodded: "I have seen it."

The mother-in-law said this to him without stopping her movements: "When are you planning to get married?"

Shi Jin's attention was attracted by the toy in her hand. After hearing this, he realized that his mother-in-law had misunderstood the relationship between him and Yu Ci.

He pursed his lips and explained: "You misunderstood, we are just friends."

"Friends?" The mother-in-law gave him a meaningful look: "...but more than just friends."

Shi Jin's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he felt a little embarrassed for some reason.

The mother-in-law smiled and showed him what she had in her hand: "Come, take a look at this. Is it nice?"

Shi Jin's gaze fell on her mother-in-law's hands.

It was an exquisite clay figurine, made with colorful clay. The figurine was wearing black clothes and black pants, holding a black umbrella in his hand. The expression on his face was simply molded with black clay a few times, but it looked unexpectedly like Shi Jin's Q version of the clay figurine.

Shi Jin's eyes lit up: "It looks good."

Seeing that he liked it, the mother-in-law put the clay figurine in his hand and said, "If you like it, I'll give it to you. It's a chance to thank you for chatting with me."

Shi Jin wanted to pay, but her mother-in-law refused. After a while of pushing and refusing, Shi Jin suddenly said, "Can you make another one for me? I bought the second one from you."

The mother-in-law guessed what he wanted to make: "Are you making a clay figurine of your friend?"

Shi Jin nodded: "Is it okay?"

"Of course." Mother-in-law smiled and started to take out the corresponding colors from the dough.

First, a round head was molded out of light white clay, then the body, limbs and hair, and finally the clothes of the little man.

Before putting an expression on the figurine, the grandmother glanced at Shi Jin and invited him with a smile: "Would you like to choose the expression for this clay figurine?"

Shi Jin was a little surprised: "Is it okay?"

“Of course you can.” Grandma said as she turned the figurine she had made to Shi Jin: “Look at this one, the eyes of this one are bigger, the eyebrows are thicker, and this one has a smaller mouth…”

Then she pointed at the figurine she had made for Shi Jin and said with a smile, "The one I made for you is more delicate. It looks a lot like you."

The mother-in-law reminded him: "You can think about your friend's appearance and pick out suitable facial features for him."

Shi Jin frowned and thought for a while, then picked a pair of thick black eyebrows for Yu Ci. A clay figure could not produce such delicate details as peach blossom eyes, so for the eyes, he chose a pair of eyes that looked the largest - he remembered that Yu Ci's eyes were very beautiful.

As for the lips, Shi Jin hesitated for a while between raising the corner of his mouth to the left or to the right, and chose the left one.

The mother-in-law put several facial features together to show him the effect, and at the same time reminded him in a subtle way: "Do you want to change your eyes?"

Shi Jin looked at the face on the operating panel and hesitated a little, but after looking at the other eyes, he decided not to change them in the end.

So the freshly baked little clay figurine has the most contradictory eyebrows and eyes - under the thick black eyebrows are a pair of big watery eyes.

Shi Jin: “…”

He looked at the little clay figurine and couldn't help curling his lips: "This is it. Thank you for your help."

Shi Jin paid for the clay figurine, bought a box from her mother-in-law, and carefully put the clay figurine in it.

When Yu Ci came back, he saw him putting the box into his pocket: "What did you buy?"

Shi Jin shook his head: "Nothing."

He planned to give the clay figurine to him when he returned.

Yu Ci did not ask any further questions. He took Shi Jin's hand and tied the thing he had been holding all the way to his wrist: "This is a fox for you."

Shi Jin's gaze moved up along the thin rope on his wrist and finally stopped in the air - at the end of the rope was a transparent balloon with a bell tied to it, and in the center of the balloon was a glowing pink fox, which was flashing as the balloon floated.

Yu Ci's voice rang in his ears along with the sound of the wind blowing the bells: "There are too many people here. It will be easier to find you this way."

Shi Jin: “…”

He moved his wrist, and the bell on the balloon jingled.

...Is it too late to return the clay figurine he bought now?
