Love? I'm reborn and I just want to get rewards

Chapter 228 Our Flower Dance
"Yueyue Xiaosu, where are you going?"

Gu Tongshu's voice was very kind, and he thought his expression was equally kind.

But actually...

What appeared in the eyes of Su Huai and Gu Jiuyue was a stiff face with twitching corners of the mouth.

Gu Jiuyue was very smart and knew the reason immediately. However, she did not let go of Su Huai's hand in a hurry. Instead, she replied generously: "Dad, let's go downstairs and play the piano for a while. Are you done?"

Xiao Gu just asked casually and didn't have any special ideas.

However, when Gu Tongshu heard it, he instantly understood it to mean something else - if you haven't finished your work, just keep doing it and don't get in my way!

So angry, so angry!

You want to chase me back so that we can live alone? You bastard, don't even think about it!
Gu Jiuyue was the one who said the words, but Su Huai took the blame. How can he seek justice?

Gu Tongshu grinded his teeth and replied with a smile: "Well, I'm almost done with my work. I just happened to have some time to appreciate your piano music. Dad hasn't heard you play the piano for a long time..."

Lao Gu doesn't often play the victim, but this skill is so easy for him that he can do it easily.

Gu Jiuyue was really embarrassed to refuse him, but she corrected him immediately: "I didn't play it myself, it was Su Huai and I playing it together as a four-hand duet."

Grass!
You're playing so hard, you bastard?!

Gu Tongshu's face turned green, and his eyeballs burned with small golden-red flames.

No, I don't agree!
The will to oppose instantly gained the upper hand, but he did not resist. Instead, he asked in surprise: "Oh? Xiao Su can also play the piano? When did you practice?"

Lao Gu did not send anyone to monitor Su Huai in the school, so he knew nothing about what happened yesterday.

From the information he found, Su Huai had at most played cotton wool, and this little trick to coax his own daughter was exposed with just one poke.

As expected, Su Huai replied weakly: "I haven't practiced much, I just played randomly."

When Gu Tongshu heard this, he immediately revealed his true intentions: "Then you should learn more from Yueyue. She is quite talented in art. It won't be a problem for her to be a teacher to beginners."

At first glance, this sounds quite polite, right?
But these words are meant to drive a wrench into young people's hearts, targeting their self-esteem.

Even if Su Huai is thick-skinned and doesn't care, it doesn't matter. If he doesn't perform well on the court later, he will have many tricks to follow up.

But Gu Jiuyue immediately waved her hand and pushed Gu Tongshu back into the mud.

"Don't talk nonsense, Lao Gu, you don't understand art."

She was very dissatisfied: "We are masters who admire each other, why are you bragging here? I am embarrassed to be Su Huai's teacher!"

Gu Tongshu's eyes widened, and he felt confused and sad.

Damn you Su Huai, how many holes have you poked in my little cotton-padded jacket? !
This is really unwearable...

Su Huai faced Gu Tongshu's angry gaze, raised his hand, shrugged his shoulders, and acted like "I didn't say anything". The cigarette has its origin and the debt has its owner, and I can't do anything if you look at me.

Old Gu was completely disappointed, and followed the angry Little Gu with a dusty face, various questions running through his mind, but he couldn't figure out the answer.

My daughter is obviously a good and reasonable daughter. What happened?
He followed him to the door of the main hall in a daze, and his good daughter asked him to stop again.

"Dad, you can listen if you want. Go to the living room and watch us practice~~~"

Okay, okay, you think I’m in the way, right?
I...I endure it!
He walked towards the living room next door with a sour and dejected look. Although there was no door between the atrium and the reception room, and he could hear and see everything, this could not change the fact that he was "expelled".

He sat down on the sofa, and perhaps because he sat down too quickly, he felt a black screen in front of his eyes.

In a trance, Lao Gu seemed to see his late wife. She had spoken to Wang Yuqing in the same way: "Hey, Dad, why don't you just do what you need to do? All you do is scare Tongshu every day!"

A bullet fired many years ago now hit him right between the eyebrows.

Time seems to have changed nothing, yet it also seems to have changed everything...

Gu Tongshu rubbed his face vigorously, rubbing away the brief weakness, and continued to stare at the bastard Su Huai with an eagle-like gaze.

Can I be the same as this bad boy?

I was handsome, loyal and steady back then, and I truly loved Yizhi. How could I have so many cunning thoughts like that bastard!

The spotted dog Su Huai sat with Gu Jiuyue on the long piano bench. He glanced sideways at the living room with a smile on his lips.

Then, in an extremely gentle and mellow voice, at a volume that Gu Tongshu could just hear, he asked with a smile: "Gu Gu, what should we play?"

"I don't know..."

Xiao Gu was a little confused and a little tangled: "I like a lot of light music, but I have never practiced a duet..."

"Then let's find a simple song to start practicing?"

Su Huai comforted her gently, and not only comforted her, but also took the initiative to give her advice.

"How about Flower Dance? I think I saw some music scores for it online."

Buling, Gu Jiuyue's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Flower Dance? I love it so much! Wow, Susu, you are amazing!"

The second half of her speech that she didn't finish was: How can you understand my heart so well? I like you so much~~~
Even though it's not said, everyone who should understand understands.

Su Huai smiled slightly, not proudly, but once again glanced casually towards the living room.

Gu Tongshu felt dizzy from the pain, as if he had been punched in the nose. Then he saw the half-smile glance at him from the boy, and wow... he was panting so hard that his balls were filled with air!
But Su Huai had already retracted his gaze and placed the tablet on the music stand with the attitude of a winner.

"Let's look for it. There must be sheet music... Um, the Bella & Lucas version. Do you want to try that version first?"

"it is good!"

Gu Jiuyue was in high spirits, but was not satisfied with just one score: "Let's play them one by one to see which one sounds the best, and then practice with all our strength!"

Looking at her clenched fist, Su Huai nodded with a smile: "As you wish, you are the biggest today."

Even though she added the qualifier "today", Gu Jiuyue was still as happy as a child. She smiled sweetly and rubbed her butt towards Su Huai.

Lao Gu didn't know what the Flower Dance was. He only knew that Roubaozi was about to deliver himself to the dog's mouth...

Oh shit!

It's just a broken piano, do you need to get so close? !
Gu Tongshu felt uneasy. He threw his coffee cup aside and stood up to open a bottle of wine.

Drink something, or you won't be able to hold it back...

In front of the piano, Su Huai and Gu Jiuyue had already downloaded the music score and discussed the priority.

Four-hand piano duet usually consists of one person playing the melody and another person playing the rhythm. The secondary player often has to take on more coordination responsibilities, which is a great test of tacit understanding.

Su Huai took the initiative to ask to be the supporting role, putting himself in the supporting role, and coaxed Xiao Gu so that her pretty face blushed slightly.

"So it starts now?"

"OK, go!"

Gu Jiuyue's breathing was a little rapid, and she pressed the first note with a little nervousness. Su Huai followed just right - his mentality was calmer, and the rhythm of the beat was quite perfect.

However, the effect of the first ensemble was still mediocre.

This is normal. It is difficult for two people playing together for the first time to find tacit understanding immediately. This requires practice.

Gu Jiuyue completely understood, so her interest was not diminished at all, and she actively reviewed her own problems: "Su Su, did I play too fast at the beginning of the second section just now?" Su Huai took the blame and made suggestions: "It's my fault that I didn't cooperate well. I think if I play slower, there will be more space. What do you think?"

She nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes, yes, I'll listen to you. Then we'll leave a 6/8 beat!"

Su Huai immediately gave her more positive feedback: "Look at the fourth line on the second page of the score. We need to keep our breathing consistent here. I will carefully feel the strength of your touch, but you also need to make it clear how you want to interpret it..."

"Correct!"

Gu Jiuyue immediately played that measure again and then explained her ideas to him.

"The main melody here should be gentle and nostalgic, but your rhythm can be appropriately clear and cheerful..."

Gu Tongshu didn't understand. He only had one suspicion and three questions:

who am I?
What am I doing here?

Is the world crazy?
He could never have imagined that the bastard could actually play the piano, and it seemed that he had a special musical resonance with his own daughter!

This is ridiculous... Damn it, I’ll deduct Wang Gang’s salary tomorrow!
How did you find the information?
If Wang Gang were here, he would definitely be confused.

This is outrageous. The relevant files clearly show that since elementary school, Su Huai has never been on stage at the school, let alone at the class party. He is a complete insulator of art. Does he have any talent for art or sports? !
Good fellow, once you meet our young lady you know everything. It turns out you were just pretending to be a pig before?!
Gu Tongshu had another explanation - the bastard was very scheming. He was just too lazy to show off before and compete with the other kids. Now that he had finally met someone worth his full attention, he started to show off his skills...

This guy has clear goals and can endure loneliness. He has the potential to be a hero. We must not keep him!
Eh? In today's society, you can't just kill people randomly?
What should I do then? !
Lao Gu's mind was a mess. He started to think about all sorts of things and couldn't stop.

Su Huai brought him too many surprises. It can be said that every aspect was far beyond his expectations, and even made him feel quite powerless.

It is indeed exciting and exciting to continue fighting like this, but where is the end? What will be the result?

The feeling of being out of control tugged at his heart at all times.

I don't know how much time passed, and the intermittent piano music finally stopped.

Gu Tongshu woke up from his thoughts and pricked up his ears again to listen to their conversation.

"about there?"

"Yeah! I feel almost there!"

"Then play it once officially?"

"Okay, come on!"

"Breathe carefully and give me a hint with your wrist before you press a button."

"Okay! Then... do you want to get closer?"

"OK, my deputy will pass under you."

"Okay~~Keep working hard, Susu!"

"let's work hard together!"

"Hehe~ Then I'll come?"

Gu Jiuyue turned her head to look into the boy's eyes, and then saw her bright and brilliant self in them.

Su Huai tilted his head slightly, looked back, and suddenly asked with a smile: "Do you sell them?"

Xiao Gu was struck by an unprecedented emotion. His heart seemed to be filled with something and then expanded to its limit, causing a moment of dizziness.

what is that?
Perhaps this is the romance that is repeatedly praised in books...

she thinks.

Holding back the excitement in her heart, Gu Jiuyue replied in a trembling voice: "I'm afraid not."

The smile on Su Huai's face suddenly grew bigger and bigger, until it became brilliant: "But, maybe we could make a deal."

Gu Jiuyue added a follow-up question that was not in the original music narration: "What do you mean?"

Su Huai suddenly switched back to Chinese and said softly, "Play with questions in mind, and the answers will be in your feelings."

Gu Jiuyue felt like she was about to burst.

She took a deep breath, nodded, and gently raised her wrist to strike the first note.

Gu Tongshu felt like he was about to break apart.

Holy shit, how come this bastard is even better at flirting than I was back then? ! ! !

Chu Yan? Chu Yan!
Come here quickly and give me two tablets of Yueyue's Xin Shu Ning!
Chu Yan is really here.

She was standing in front of the railing of the second-floor terrace, her arms folded, leaning against the wall, staring intently at the young man and girl who were huddled together in the atrium.

Four hands danced on the black and white piano keys like butterflies. The ethereal and soft notes flowed out like spring water. It seemed as if petals were falling from the sky, swirling and cheering around the pair of beautiful women.

The wind blows through the courtyard, sometimes cheerful, sometimes sad. It is cheerful and it is sad.

And what about flowers?
They just dance wildly, passionately, and simply brilliantly.

The so-called fallen flowers have feelings but flowing water is heartless has always been just human sentimentality. Do flowers and water, trees and wind really care about being crushed into mud and dust?
No, we are always the sad ones and they are always the happy ones.

Mr. Gu, you can't stop me...

Gu Tongshu had a stern face and an extremely serious expression.

He doesn't understand music, but that's just a self-deprecating statement. How could he not have any appreciation of music?
The last performance by Xiaomianao and Gouzaizi was still not grand and the Dance of Flowers itself was not a difficult piece of music, but the smooth flow of notes reflected a kind of tacit understanding as if their breathing was synchronized.

This is not surprising. Two music students with a solid foundation can play to this level after a period of diligent practice.

But therein lies the problem - how long have Su Huaicai and Yueyue been practicing? !

This is weird! Even when Xiaolongnu and Yang Guo practiced the Tender Love Palm, they didn’t have such a fast method!
Gu Tongshu listened carefully, trying to find even one confusion in the two people's performance. If he couldn't find any confusion, then at least a little awkwardness would be fine, but... there was nothing.

From his layman's perspective, this was a perfect four-hand piano duet.

The ethereal beauty, romance and lingering tenderness of the Dance of Flowers were performed by the two of them with a perfection that was like that of a married couple of years.

When the last note fell, Gu Jiuyue's face flushed strangely. She exhaled heavily, then turned her head and looked at Su Huai's profile.

At this moment, the bitterness in Gu Tongshu's heart reached its peak.

He admitted that he was jealous.

He also admitted that he was not mentally prepared to hand over the treasure he had protected for eighteen years to another man.

However, it is clear that the situation has completely gotten out of control.

She was looking at Su Huai, but Gu Tongshu felt that it was Wang Yizhi who was looking at him. At this moment, the figures of mother and daughter were reflected together across the 20 years of time. He felt both relieved and a dull pain that made him unable to breathe.

At the same moment, the look he gave Su Huai began to be mixed with something else and became extremely complicated.

The flower is not a flower, the fog is not a fog, what is disturbing my heart?

Su Huai had the same problem.

He silently looked back at the happy Xiao Gu, his heart beating wildly, faster and faster, more and more intense, and more and more chaotic...
