Chapter 38: Those involved are confused, but those who are watching can see clearly. The sky is clear and bright.
The sky is just right.
Su Huaiwang sat at the side of the living room, his chin supported by his hands, looking out the window at the lush greenery and sunlight pouring in.
With such great weather, even the previous haze was swept away.
The sound of the piano suddenly rang out, lingering and flowing in her ears like water.
The player was obviously a beginner; the scales danced simply, mixing with the gentle breeze and making people drowsy in the afternoon air.
Su Huaiwang turned around and saw Lin Jue playing the piano with his eyes lowered.
The girl sat behind the grand piano, her face expressionless, her jade-white fingers pressing every key accurately.
Everything is as beautiful as a tranquil painting.
Su Huaiwang looked relaxed, holding his chin and looking at Lin Jue.
She was the one who taught Lin Jue to play the piano. She thought that if Lin Jue liked painting, he would also like the piano, but unfortunately, Lin Jue did not show any particular interest in the piano.
But it's nice to play it occasionally, and they don't hate music.
The doorbell rang, destroying the momentary warmth.
Su Huaiwang subconsciously raised his head and saw the girl's furrowed brows.
The piano music stopped, and a dark emotion flashed across Lin Jue's face, perhaps because his performance was interrupted.
"I'll go open the door." Su Huaiwang stood up.
Lin Jue nodded, but still stood up behind her.
Who would it be at this point in time?
Grandma Chen is busy taking care of the children at home, and recently only Lin Jue has come to her house.
Su Huaiwang was guessing in his heart.
The doorbell rang twice more impatiently, as if urging her.
Su Huaiwang first looked through the cat's eye, but no one appeared in the cat's eye's field of view.
Just as she was considering whether to pull up the surveillance footage, a mobile phone slowly climbed up into the cat's eye field of view.
"Open the door!" Two words and a punctuation mark scrolled and played in a loop on the mobile phone screen.
Su Huaiwang: ...
The door opened, and a bouquet of flowers followed closely in front of her. It was only when Lin Jue pulled her that her face was prevented from being buried in the flowers.
“Surprise!”
A woman's cry rang out, and even though Su Huaiwang's eyes were red, he knew who was speaking.
Tu Zhizhuo forcefully stuffed the bouquet of roses in his hand into her arms and walked into her house as if no one was around.
"Oh, you're here too, little beauty. Good afternoon."
"Good afternoon." Lin Jue smiled and nodded to her, but his attention was still on the silent Su Huaiwang.
The corners of Su Huaiwang's mouth twitched, and veins faintly appeared on his forehead.
In contrast, her tone was gentle: "Tu Zhizhuo?"
Tu Zhizhuo got goosebumps all over his body: "Hey, what are you doing? Such a coquettish thing!"
Lin Jue looked at Su Huaiwang, then at Tu Zhizhuo who was rubbing his arms, and consciously took a step back and left the scene of the dispute.
Su Huaiwang handed the flowers to Lin Jue and looked at Tu Zhizhuo with a pair of eyes without a smile.
Tu Zhizhuo's momentum immediately weakened: "What are you doing? This is weird and scary."
"Why are you asking?" Su Huaiwang frowned: "Aren't you at work? Why did you suddenly come here?"
"It's a day off today. I missed you, so I came to see you." Such a lively and beautiful face has to be used to wink.
Su Huaiwang sighed silently in his heart.
"Whatever you want." She couldn't do anything about this person who acted on his whim.
After passing the test of Su Huaiwang, Tu Zhizhuo felt relieved. She looked back and saw a beautiful girl with her eyes lowered, looking at the flowers in her arms, wondering what she was thinking.
Tu Zhizhuo took a quick step forward and asked, "Why, little beauty, do you like the flowers I gave you?"
As she spoke, she blinked her right eye and threw a coquettish glance at him.
Lin Jue raised his head, looked at her and then at Su Huaiwang.
Tu Zhizhuo was perceptive and immediately exclaimed, "Oh, she doesn't like it! Every time I give it to her, it's just a waste! She doesn't have that kind of taste!"
"Tu Zhizhuo!" Su Huaiwang was so angry that his face turned red.
Lin Jue didn't say anything. He just casually placed the flowers in his hand on the table and shook his head: "I don't like it very much either."
Tu Zhizhuo didn't feel any regret and said with a grin, "That's a pity."
Lin Jue turned his head and said, "Then I'll go back first?"
Before Su Huaiwang could say anything, Tu Zhizhuo spoke first, "Stop! What were you doing just now? Can I join you?"
Su Huaiwang looked at Tu Zhizhuo in surprise, feeling that she was a little too active today.
A bad feeling arose in my heart.
"I heard you guys are painting together a lot lately? I can join in too! I can paint a little bit."
Tu Zhizhuo patted his chest, with no sense of boundaries.
His amber eyes stared at her for a long time: "Really?"
The girl smiled, but the look in her eyes was murky and unclear: "Don't you still have a job?"
"I have several days off, so it's perfect for me to spend time with you guys."
Tu Zhizhuo also laughed, but her smile was genuine. She was not like Su Huaiwang, the fool who couldn't even see such obvious jealousy.
Lin Jue didn't reply and turned his gaze back to Su Huaiwang.
Su Huaiwang felt a little distressed when he saw Lin Jue's pitiful appearance after being questioned by Tu Zhizhuo, and immediately spoke out:
"Okay, stop harassing me."
Tu Zhizhuo:?
When did she harass anyone? You, a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, are you still playing this trick of forgetting your loyalty for the sake of beauty?
Lin Jue nodded slightly: "I have something to do at home, so I'll leave first. If you have time, we can make an appointment again."
Su Huaiwang quickly said: "I'll take you there!"
The two men left in a hurry, leaving Tu Zhizhuo standing there, unable to cry.
Now she finally understood that there was no place for her in this play.
Outside the door, Su Huaiwang apologized to Lin Jue: "I'm sorry, she has always been like this."
Lin Jue shook his head: "No need to apologize, this is fine."
Su Huaiwang wanted to say something else, but a candy was stuffed into his palm.
She looked down in surprise and saw Lin Jue chuckle, "This is for you, don't let her find out."
"I made it myself. Please help me taste it and see how it tastes."
She blinked one eye at Su Huaiwang. It was obviously the same action as Tu Zhizhuo, but she didn't know how much cuter it was than Tu Zhizhuo's.
The soft side of Su Huaiwang's heart was hit hard.
She squeezed the candy in her hand, looked away embarrassedly, and whispered, "I will."
...For some reason, she always had the illusion that the two of them were having an affair.
Lin Jue's brows finally relaxed.
After having an affair, no, after saying goodbye to Lin Jue, Su Huaiwang went home with a pounding heart full of regret and reluctance.
As soon as I opened the door, I heard the gorgeous and complex melody of the piano.
Tu Zhizhuo sat behind the piano, where Lin Jue had just sat, his fingers flying like waves breaking on black and white reefs.
Su Huaiwang walked closer and leaned against the wall pillar to look at her.
Tu Zhizhuo's playing was always powerful, his style flamboyant and whimsical, compelling the audience. Even an amateur like Su Huaiwang could hear the beauty of the music.
The song ended. Tu Zhizhuo's fingers stopped on the last piano key. She raised her head and looked at Su Huaiwang with resentment.
Su Huaiwang looked calm. He walked to the side and found a sofa to sit on.
"You were just playing the piano."
Su Huaiwang did not deny it: "I taught her a little, but she doesn't seem to be as interested in piano as she is in painting."
Tu Zhizhuo stood up, moved closer to Su Huaiwang, and insisted on squeezing on a single sofa with her.
"Tell me, tell me, what's your relationship like now? Does she hang out with you every day?"
Su Huaiwang was too lazy to look at her and carefully moved his position to prevent her from crushing the candy in his pocket: "Is it because I have erotic dreams about her every day?"
Only when Lin Jue was not around would she dare to speak so freely.
Tu Zhizhuo was amazed: "I didn't expect that, Su Huaiwang, Su Huaiwang, you would actually play so big, teachers and students play during the day, and at night..."
Before she could finish her words, Su Huaiwang covered her mouth with his hand, angry and embarrassed.
"Why do you say anything? Did I dream about her because I wanted to?!"
"I think your body is quite willing."
"Humans are distinguished from animals because they have reason!"
Su Huaiwang glared at her: "Honestly, why did you come here? You didn't come here just to play, did you?"
If that was the case, Tu Zhizhuo would usually tell her in advance. If he didn't tell her in advance, then he probably had some bad intentions.
Despite her bad attitude, Tu Zhizhuo remained calm and said, "I'm just worried about you, so I came over to help you with your estrus problem."
"What's the estrus problem..." Su Huaiwang was dumbfounded, his face flushed, not knowing whether it was from anger or shame.
"Aren't you in heat now? You're so lost in your sexual fantasies that you're practically dead."
Su Huaiwang laughed in anger: "Then tell me, how can you help me?"
"That's easy." Tu Zhizhuo said shamelessly: "You two do it once, and when the bed dies and you know how bad her skills are, you won't think about it anymore... Hey, don't hit me! It hurts!"
After a while, Tu Zhizhuo, with tears in his eyes, was deprived of the right to sit and stood aside pitifully.
Su Huaiwang's anger had not subsided: "I knew you were unreliable. Listen carefully, it's okay for you to say it in front of me, but don't affect Lin Jue."
Tu Zhizhuo was about to nod when he saw Su Huaiwang's serious expression: "I'm serious."
"knew……"
Su Huaiwang didn't pursue the matter any further and changed the subject: "How many days will you stay this time?"
"Four days." After confirming that Su Huaiwang had forgiven her, Tu Zhizhuo very consciously found a sofa to sit on.
It must be said that Su Huaiwang is easily angered but good at calming himself down, so it's fun to tease him.
While thinking about the disrespectful thing, Tu Zhizhuo kept talking:
"Have you ever considered that the erotic dreams you keep having about her every night might be because you've been alone here for too long and become bored? After all, humans are social animals. Look at your place, she's the only one you can fantasize about, and she's so beautiful!"
Su Huaiwang frowned: "It's not her problem."
"Yes, yes, yes." Tu Zhizhuo quickly changed his tone and said, "So, you should think about it, right?"
After thinking it over, Su Huaiwang nodded hesitantly.
"Look! That's right! Why don't you stay at my place someday and experience the bright lights and bustling city life? Maybe once your mind is full, you won't be dwelling on this kind of thing all the time!" Tu Zhizhuo said logically, "Look, there's a saying that goes, if people don't have other entertainment activities, they can only..."
"Okay, okay," Su Huaiwang couldn't bear to interrupt her: "I understand, I will consider it."
After saying that, he frowned and fell into deep thought.
Tu Zhizhuo was silent for a moment, then asked cautiously, "Well... actually, I have another guess. Do you want to hear it?"
"What?" Su Huaiwang raised his eyes and looked at her suspiciously.
"You're already that age, right? Let's just say, is there a possibility, I mean a possibility, that you...really like her?"
"No way."
Su Huaiwang answered decisively without even a hint of hesitation.
Tu Zhizhuo curled his lips and felt a little sympathy for Lin Jue.
"Okay, whatever you say goes." She simply threw her hands aside and waited for Su Huaiwang to slap her in the face.
This attitude naturally made Su Huaiwang unhappy, but she didn't want to argue with her friend anymore, so she just swept this little episode out of her mind.
