The Dark Side of the Piano Boy (11)

Early the next morning.

Lu Zhiran finished washing up and walked out of the bedroom.

In the living room, everything was in order. There was no one on the sofa, and there was no trace of Jiang Ye in other places that could be seen at a glance.

At first Lu Zhiran didn't think much about it, just because Jiang Ye went out for something.

Until Lu Zhiran suddenly remembered Jiang Ye’s abnormal words and actions last night.

I made him a meal myself...

She took the initiative to extend her hands and said to him, "Come here, Lu Zhiran, give the teacher a hug."

And under the warm light, that person smiled at her, a smile so bright that it was blinding.

In an instant, Lu Zhiran's heart seemed to be dug out with a big hole. Unprecedented panic swept over him, and he shouted Jiang Ye's name in panic.

"Jiang Ye..."

"Jiang Ye! Teacher Jiang?"

"Are you there, Jiang Ye?"

There was no response. There was no one else in the empty rental house except him.

The boy's fair skin became even paler, and he pursed his lips tightly. His lips, which were as light as cherry blossoms, were rubbed into a bright red.

Lu Zhiran bit his lips, and only when the taste of blood filled his mouth did his confused mind become a little clearer.

Jiang Ye... must be hiding something from him.

Sure.

Otherwise it wouldn't be like last night.

What's funny is that he was lying in bed last night and was so excited about what Jiang Ye had done that he couldn't sleep.

Before I knew it, it was time for Lu Zhiran to go to class.

But Lu Zhiran stood motionless in the living room, like a doll with its soul taken away, his eyes were empty and gloomy, and his lips were so red that blood seemed to drip out.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

"Boom! Boom!"

Lu Zhiran seemed to have found his soul in an instant, and a light appeared in his eyes.

He walked quickly to the door and opened it.

At the same time, a few excited words came out of his mouth, "Teacher Jiang...!"

However, when he saw clearly who was standing at the door, the light in the boy's eyes dimmed instantly, and became even more desolate and lonely than at the beginning.

The person standing outside the door was Lu Ya who came to pick someone up.

This morning, Jiang Ye called her and told her that she could come and pick him up.

She also told him to remember their agreement and not to treat Lu Zhiran the same way as before.

Lu Ya also reminded Jiang Ye not to appear in front of Lu Zhiran again.

"What are you doing here?"

Lu Zhiran looked at the woman coldly.

After just one glance, he withdrew his gaze expressionlessly.

This look was completely different from the look she had just now when she thought she was Jiang Ye. The huge gap in feeling made Lu Ya feel furious.

She subconsciously wanted to scold Lu Zhiran.

But when the words came to my lips, I had to swallow them back.

"I'm here to take you back."

Lu Ya said coldly, "Jiang Ye has already left, you don't have to worry about him. Hurry up and pack your luggage and come back with me."

When Lu Ya mentioned Jiang Ye, Lu Zhiran seemed to want to talk to Lu Ya.

He looked at the woman again, his eyes as cold as ice, "Where did he go?"

"I don't know if you ask me. Anyway, he left, and he left on his own initiative."

Jiang Ye himself also agreed to leave, which meant he took the initiative to leave.

Lu Ya looked at Lu Zhiran righteously, as if she had guessed what Lu Zhiran was thinking. She raised her eyebrows and said, "He's just a piano teacher. If he leaves, he leaves. Why do you care so much?"

Lu Zhiran's face was filled with anger. He stared at Lu Ya, "What on earth did you do?"

It must be this woman who forced Jiang Ye away.

Definitely.

There was no way Jiang Ye would leave him on his own initiative.

Lu Zhiran frowned, and after a moment, she made up a random excuse.

"If you must ask, I gave him some money, and he was tempted by the money and left."

Lu Zhiran's chest heaved violently, and his young and vigorous heart seemed to be about to jump out of his chest. He looked at Lu Ya unwillingly, his eyes filled with resentment.

Intense resentment.

It stabbed Lu Ya like a knife.

"Why did you chase him away? Why did you do that... You can't do that!"

Lu Ya said angrily, "Why can't I do this? Jiang Ye is just a worker who earns money. I gave him money and he left. It's a matter of our mutual consent! He agreed to it himself. If you want to blame someone, blame him!"

After saying this, Lu Ya looked at Lu Zhiran with hatred and resentment, and questioned him.

"You're staring at me like that because of him?"

"You like him so much?"

There was sorrow in the boy's eyes, but it seemed as if there was a beast lurking in the sorrow. The next moment, he roared out uncontrollably, "I just like him!!"

"I just like Jiang Ye!"

This was the first time that the boy lost control in front of Lu Ya.

For the first time, Lu Ya saw the naked hatred and loathing in Lu Zhiran's eyes. It was also the first time that Lu Ya saw Lu Zhiran roaring at her.

This attitude is like facing an enemy, which is the sharpest sword.

"I'm your mother. You don't like me, so why do you like him? I raised you for so many years, and you turned out to be such an ungrateful person?"

Lu Ya was really hurt. She looked at the crazy boy, gnashing her teeth and said impatiently, "Are you going back or not? If you don't go back, I'll leave and you'll be here alone."

Lu Zhiran looked at Lu Ya unwillingly.

There are broken stars in his eyes.

His lips trembled, and his voice trembled, "Bring the person back to me..."

He wants Jiang Ye to come back.

He doesn't want anything but Jiang Ye.

He wants Jiang Ye to come back.

"Lu Zhiran!"

Lu Ya was disheartened, and the anger that had finally been extinguished was ignited again in an instant. However, Jiang Ye's threatening words remained deeply rooted in her mind.

She controlled herself, sneered, and said sarcastically, "Don't you like Jiang Ye that much? If you have the ability, go find someone yourself."

"Lu Zhiran, you are just a child now. Look at yourself now. You are just a child who can't get what he wants and will only blame his parents."

"When you lose something you just let someone find you, that's what you do..."

If I am gone, what will you have? What will you do in the future?

Lu Ya stopped talking halfway through her sentence.

There was no way that Lu Zhiran would know what happened between her and Jiang Ye.

Lu Zhiran only knew that Jiang Ye left him, but he didn't know that she also let him go with pain invisibly.

Lu Ya snorted coldly.

"Forget it, I won't say anything to you."

"I won't say anything to you anymore. Do whatever you want."

Lu Ya took out a stack of cash and a bank card from her bag. She knew that Lu Zhiran probably wouldn't accept her things, so she put them directly on the shoe cabinet next to her.

"The living expenses are here. You can come back whenever you want."

After saying that, Lu Ya turned around and walked away in her high heels.

However, Lu Zhiran in the living room was still immersed in the fact that Jiang Ye left him.

The young man squatted on the ground in a daze. He didn't know when, drops of liquid fell on the ground, and Lu Zhiran's face was completely wet.

Lu Zhiran slowly raised his head, choking with sobs, and wiped the tears from his face with his hands.

"Lu Zhiran, why are you crying again..."

“Don’t cry…”

"You said you wouldn't cry anymore, you bastard... bastard, why are you crying? Don't cry..."

“Don’t cry…”

Why do I keep telling myself not to cry, but I always lose control?

Lu Zhiran, you are so incompetent.

Lu Zhiran kept wiping his tears, but the tears kept falling.

Finally, Lu Zhiran suddenly stood up from the ground, walked to the table, and picked up a fruit knife from the basket.

The boy, with tears in his eyes, held the fruit knife and cut a hole on his left wrist, about ten centimeters away from his palm, without hesitation.

Bright blood flowed out slowly from the thin cut.

The dull pain for a moment brought inexplicable relief to the boy's aching heart.

The pain of being busy is not so severe as to drive people crazy.

The tears gradually came under control.

After a while, the boy's tears finally stopped.

Lu Zhiran sat on the sofa and thought, this is a really good idea.

If you cry again in the future, use this method.

Moreover, the cutting place should move lower each time.

This kind of punishment finally brings him closer and closer to death.

If you keep crying, you should be dead.

After experiencing half an hour of grief, Lu Zhiran calmed down a lot.

He thought that Jiang Ye would not leave him for too long, maybe he would come back in a few days... Besides, this was Jiang Ye's rental house, even if Jiang Ye wanted to leave, he should come back to pack his things.

As long as he continues to live in the rental house, Jiang Ye will definitely come back.

When Jiang Ye comes back, he can ask him clearly what happened to him.

Everything will be restored.

Jiang Ye will come back.

…

One month later.

In the bustling train station, Jiang Ye was holding a train ticket to another city.

Jiang Ye originally wanted to stay in this city so that he could be closer to Lu Zhiran.

Deep down in his heart, he hoped that maybe one day, he could quietly follow Lu Zhiran and secretly take a look at what kind of life Lu Zhiran was leading.

He was worried about leaving the child.

However, due to the pressure of life and development prospects, after comprehensive consideration, he decided to leave.

In the past month, he tried to find a stable job in this city, but no company wanted him since he didn't even have a college degree.

He wanted to join a professional tutoring class to continue being a piano tutor, but the original tutoring class rejected his application.

He was planning to start a piano class himself, but in addition to the professional qualification certificate, he needed approval from higher authorities and a business license to run a cram school... He was unable to obtain a series of certificates because the people above him did not agree.

Jiang Ye vaguely guessed that it was Lu Ya who was behind this, but because this city already had a very strong piano education institution, he finally chose to move to another city for development.

Before leaving, Jiang Ye, who was worried, suddenly heard the system say, "Host, Lu Zhiran should be alone from now on."

Jiang Ye's steps suddenly stopped.

Lu Zhiran can finally get rid of Lu Ya's shadow.

But at the same time, he will also leave.

For Lu Zhiran... it should be a good thing to achieve balance, right?

Jiang Ye looked at the gray sky and said silently.

Lu Zhiran, you can take care of yourself by yourself.

Be sure to take good care of yourself.

…

Six years later.
