"Why did you agree to substitute for her?" Yu Yaya sat on the piano stool, holding a milk tea in one hand, and complained to Tang Miao angrily.
"Her classes at night last until very late. If you agree this time, she will definitely ask you to help her in the future," said Yu Yaya.
In his spare time after class, Tang Miao came to Yu Yaya's piano classroom. After Yu Yaya knew that Tang Miao was going to take Qiu Yu's evening class, she became like an angry puffer fish.
Unlike the cold relationship with Qiu Yu, Tang Miao and Yu Yaya have had a close relationship since the first day.
Even if they were not colleagues, Tang Miao would still like a girl like Yu Yaya. She was fair and tender, and spoke and acted in a straightforward and innocent way. She had dimples when she smiled, and she exuded the sweet and soft strawberry scent.
Although she is a few years younger than Tang Miao, she is a senior in the piano store. In the first few days after Tang Miao entered the piano store, Yu Yaya helped her familiarize herself with the work and introduced students to her. Like her personality, her enthusiasm was warm and straightforward.
This has to be liked.
Yu Yaya was fair and tender, and when she got angry, her eyes were bright and watery. Tang Miao looked at her and said with a smile, "She said she had something wrong."
"What could happen to her? She's still dating a man!" said Yu Yaya.
In fact, Yu Yaya didn’t really like Qiu Yu, but as colleagues, the two didn’t have any major conflicts, so they just maintained a superficial peace.
However, Yu Yaya was very indignant about Qiu Yu bullying Tang Miao.
"She just thinks you're easy to bully. No one likes to attend evening classes because they last so late." Yu Yaya told Tang Miao the disadvantages of attending evening classes.
After finishing her words, Yu Yaya concluded, "Just wait, she will definitely ask you to help her out in the future."
Yu Yaya finished speaking angrily, bit the straw and took a sip of milk tea. Her cheeks puffed up, and then she chewed pearls while puffing her cheeks and frowning.
Tang Miao looked at her, smiled, and raised his hand to pinch her face.
After being pinched by Tang Miao, Yu Yaya glared at her in feigned anger: "What are you doing?"
"You are cute." Tang Miao imitated her.
Hearing Tang Miao imitating her tone of voice, Yu Yaya's angry expression was about to break. The corners of her lips could no longer be suppressed from rising, but she still turned her head to the side.
"snort!"
Tang Miao laughed.
-
In the evening, Tang Miao took over Qiu Yu's class.
It is normal for Yu Yaya to be angry that Tang Miao is substituting for Qiu Yu in the class.
Qiu Yu's piano lessons lasted from 6pm to 9:30pm. There was no break between the lessons, and Tang Miao didn't even have time to drink water or go to the bathroom. Her fingers stayed on the keys all night, and after the lesson, Tang Miao's fingers were a little stiff.
After seeing off the last student and parent, Tang Miao finally had some time to breathe. She sat on the piano bench, kneaded her stiff fingers, then closed the piano cover and left the piano classroom.
The last class at the piano store was scheduled for 9:30 in the evening. The lights at the front desk on the first floor had been turned off, and the receptionist Xiao Jiang was waiting for Tang Miao to get off work and leave before closing the store.
Tang Miao came down from upstairs and said to Xiao Jiang that she was in trouble. Xiao Jiang smiled and waved, saying good night to her. After saying goodbye to Xiao Jiang, Tang Miao left the piano store.
The music store where Tang Miao works is located in a business district in Huaicheng. Behind the store are shopping malls and office buildings, and in front is the financial center. It is a relatively prosperous area in Huaicheng. At this time, it is the busiest time of the day. Barbecue restaurants, hot pot restaurants, food stalls, the crowds are noisy and bustling, adding a touch of fireworks to this sultry night.
Amid the commotion, Tang Miao crossed the road and stepped onto the sidewalk.
Tang Miao walks to work every day. The neighborhood where she lives is not far from the piano store. After crossing the road from the piano store, she only needs to go straight for three more intersections to reach her neighborhood. I remember that when she submitted her resume to this piano store, she also saw this point.
On the way home, both sides of the road were basically residential areas similar to hers. Some residential areas had commercial streets on the first floor, but at this time, there was not much business and most of the shops were closed, making it seem a bit deserted.
After Tang Miao walked through the first intersection, he came to the second intersection.
The second intersection is a relatively secluded place in this section.
When she bought the house, the agent introduced it to her. On the other side of the road is the largest resettlement house in Huaicheng, and opposite the resettlement house is a piece of wasteland surrounded by a wall. According to the agent at the time, this piece of wasteland is also used to build commercial buildings and office buildings, so the housing prices in their residential area will also rise with the tide.
However, Tang Miao was not very interested in these things. She bought the house for her own use and had no plans to sell it.
When I got to the wall, the lights in the upper floors of the resettlement house opposite were almost all turned off. In the wasteland behind the wall, it was even quieter, with only the sound of the wind to be heard.
This area is not a big deal if you walk there on normal days, but it is still a bit scary at night.
Especially when it is so quiet, the sound will be clearly amplified and the slightest movement will startle people.
In such silence, Tang Miao heard footsteps coming from behind him.
Perhaps because he lives alone, or perhaps because he was followed once when he first came to Huaicheng, Tang Miao is particularly sensitive to footsteps.
The moment she heard the footsteps, Tang Miao's body froze. Then, she quickened her pace and ran forward.
But she ran too fast and didn't pay attention to her feet. As soon as she raised her foot to run forward, Tang Miao's toes hit something. At the moment of collision, Tang Miao staggered, lost balance, and fell to the ground.
Tang Miao let out a muffled groan.
As she fell, the footsteps behind her became clearer and clearer. Tang Miao's heart was lifted up with the clear footsteps. Just when she couldn't help but call for help, a familiar voice came from behind her.
"Why are you running?"
Tang Miao turned around.
It’s He Xiao.
Seeing He Xiao, the fear that permeated Tang Miao disappeared. He Xiao stood behind her, Tang Miao looked up at him, and after coming to her senses, she moved her lower lip and said.
"I……"
Tang Miao wanted to say something, but in the end, nothing came out.
The woman knelt on the ground, looking up at him, her body still trembling with panic, and her face was pale, just like how she looked when she knocked on the door and entered his house that day.
He Xiao looked down at her for a while and said, "Can you get up?"
After He Xiao asked, Tang Miao remembered that he was still lying on the ground. After hearing what He Xiao said, Tang Miao nodded, put his hand on the tree trunk beside him and stood up.
As he stood up, Tang Miao frowned and almost fell down again.
Before she fell, He Xiao grabbed her arm.
The man's palm was broad and long, and he firmly grasped her arm with one hand, fixing her body. The heat from his palm was continuously transmitted into her body through the skin of the two people. Tang Miao stood firm and said, "Thank you."
He Xiao didn't let her go. He glanced at her bent legs and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I sprained my ankle." Tang Miao said.
After Tang Miao finished speaking, He Xiao took a look at her ankle.
The woman had a slender frame and wore a dress whose hem fell just above her ankles, revealing her slender, beautiful ankles.
You can't see anything special about the ankle at the moment, you can only see that it is glowing white under the street light.
He Xiao took a look and pursed his lips slightly.
"Can you still walk?" He Xiao asked.
After He Xiao asked, Tang Miao said, "Yes."
After that, He Xiao loosened his grip on her arm. Tang Miao lost her support, and her right ankle suddenly lost its footing. She frowned in pain.
After frowning, Tang Miao stood up and walked forward.
If you say he can walk, he can indeed walk. But the walking posture and speed are a bit difficult. Tang Miao tiptoed on his right foot and limped forward.
He Xiao looked at the way she walked and said, "I'll carry you."
Tang Miao stopped and turned around.
It was already late, and although this place was not far from her home, it would still take her half an hour to walk there. And her right foot was sprained, so moving like this would be bad for her ankle.
After he finished speaking, Tang Miao looked at him, hesitated for a moment, and said, "You are not..."
"Do you want to go?" He Xiao asked.
What he was about to say was interrupted by He Xiao. Tang Miao moved his eyes and said.
"Walk."
"Come up." He Xiao said, standing in front of her and squatting down.
He was very tall, looking about 1.9 meters tall. But despite his height, he did not look thin or frail. He had a straight and solid skeleton of an adult, supported by his tight and smooth muscles, making him look tall and slender.
When he leaned over and squatted in front of her, Tang Miao was stunned for two seconds. But she didn't hesitate for long, and after coming to her senses, she leaned forward and hugged his back.
Tang Miao's body was soft and light, pressed against his back through the fabric of her dress. He Xiao, after she put her arms around his neck to keep her balance and clasped her fingers together, stood up from the ground with her back on.
In this way, He Xiao carried Tang Miao on his back and walked towards the community where their home was.
