my old life

Chapter 2373
I have to go to Mike now. There can be no misunderstanding about this kind of thing, even if I find a place to blow air alone!

There are many ways to avoid suspicion, even if nothing happened between me and Sweet Ernisa, others may not necessarily think so!
I walked quickly to the door of the large lounge, and I could see the inside through the round window of the cabin. After a glance, I was shocked!
A group of people were having a great time, and men and women seemed to be enjoying themselves. Even Jennifer started to play tricks, but Mike was the only one who didn't see it.

I turned to the lounge with the piano, not sure if Mike was there, but he couldn't have left the yacht.

When I came to the door, I took a peek. As expected, Mike was sitting in front of the piano, resting his chin with one hand, thinking about something.

Looking at his back from the side, I feel very lonely, an indescribable feeling, even though he is so strong...

"Ahem, Mike, are you there?" I cleared my throat on purpose, so as to remind me in advance so as not to be obtrusive.

"I'm here, what's the matter?"

"It's nothing, they're all going to a party, I just come here if I don't have anything to do." I strolled in the door, took out a cigarette and handed it over.

"Aren't you going to play?" Mike took the cigarette and lit it himself, and waved me to sit on the sofa.

"I can't stand the one they play. It's a conceptual problem. I can't accept it." I smiled and waved my hand. Some things can't be changed in a short time.

"Weidong was just like you when he first came here, and he will get better with time."

I know that the person he is talking about is Seven of Diamonds, and that guy must be a veteran of the rivers and lakes. Concepts are not very important to him.

Especially when men enter middle age, there will be more and more things that can be tolerated and recognized. Life is a journey of change.

"Maybe, who knows."

When a person is just fledgling, he will not accept many things in this world. As time changes, you will find that there are fewer and fewer unacceptable things...

It's not that a person has changed his original opinion, it's just that time has polished off the edges and corners of a person and can tolerate more unacceptable things.

Mike and I were smoking cigarettes quietly, listening to the sound of the waves hitting the yacht at night. There was no light around us, and it was pitch black as far as the eye could see.

At this moment, we seem to be at the end of the world, as if in a completely isolated world, more like a kind of boundless wandering.

"Want to listen to Richard's music?" Mike asked suddenly, it seemed that he was in a good mood tonight.

"Is it okay?" I said politely, and I couldn't take it seriously when he was polite.

"Of course, being appreciated is also a pleasure."

"Dream wedding."

"OK!" Mike threw away the cigarette butt and stretched his wrist. It was obvious that he cared about the ritual of playing the piano.

His fingers quickly slid across the piano, not knowing whether it was a sound test or something, as if he would do this every time he played the piano.

His finger dropped a note and jumped up quietly, followed by an elegant and soothing melody. In fact, I know this is Mike's favorite piece.

The relationship between each other is advancing by leaps and bounds. From the acquaintance in Hawaii to the acquaintance today, many things have changed unconsciously.

After spending a long time together and getting to know each other better, Mike is not as difficult to get along with as he imagined.

He never puts pressure on those around him, nor does he deliberately create a class, but he is always at the core of the team.

I don't think Mike is a person without emotion. It is impossible for a person without emotion to play the piano so emotionally, and it is impossible to play this kind of melody.

In my opinion, musical instruments are a way for people to release their inner emotions. No matter what kind of musical instrument or music, there will always be an emotion to be expressed in it.

I think Mike just doesn't show his feelings easily. He is a person who is delicate but good at hiding his feelings. He will never let people catch any of his weaknesses easily.

I have read countless people in the rivers and lakes, and Mike is the most peculiar person I have ever met. He likes philosophy and piano, but he does things in a ruthless way.

He is very similar to what my second uncle described to me, he is very much like the person that my second uncle wants to teach, I don't know why I suddenly feel this way...

In the dead of night, when everyone was having a party, they watched each other quietly listening to a piano, and every note seemed to be telling the past.

A dream wedding ended Mike covered the piano, his movements were very soft, as if ending a ceremony.

"It sounds good!" I applauded him from the bottom of my heart, which was not flattery or flattery.

"Oh?" Mike looked at me rather surprised, his expression seemed surprised.

"It's really nice to hear." I nodded at him, and I didn't have any deception.

"You were the first person to applaud me." Mike said with a smile, which surprised me, but it didn't show on his face.

"Of course you should applaud for playing so well. Were all those people deaf in the past?"

It stands to reason that people like Mike should never lack compliments. He hasn't played the piano for a day or two. How could no one applaud him?

According to my guess, there is only one possibility, that is, he does not give others a chance to applaud him.

Mike threw over a cigar, and he lowered his head to light the cigar. At this moment, they were chatting like old friends.

"I was a graduate of a conservatory, and in the Royal Orchestra everyone was a master, and I never got applause."

"It's okay, there will always be someone who will recognize you." I comforted me. I didn't expect Mike to open up to me tonight. This is my chance to get to know him better.

"I will never get the recognition I want, even once." Mike said to himself with blurred eyes, feeling that he is a person with a story.

"My second uncle used to tell me that in this world people live for themselves, never for others."

I comforted him from the side. A smart person like him should understand such a simple truth, but many people understand the truth but can't get out of the strange circle of thinking.

"Thank you for your warning, and thank you for your second uncle."

"It's nothing, my second uncle has always been out of tune, full of nonsense."

"I thought he was a philosopher."

"How can it be! He's just a jianghu, wandering around the jianghu to make a living..." I smiled wickedly, if the second uncle wants to become a philosopher, the world will be turned upside down?

However, there is some truth in what the second uncle said was crazy, but it would not be accepted by most people, because most people would not understand Jianghu.

"It doesn't matter where you were born, or what college you graduated from, because the perception of life has never been taught by others."

"That's right, people choose their own path, just be happy."

"Hawkeye, are you happy?" Mike looked at me meaningfully, this question came a little suddenly.

"Me? Of course I'm happy."

"Why are you happy?"

"Because I have a lot of friends and a lot of concern, I also have a lot of feelings and attachments, and all my troubles are a source of happiness, including the song I just listened to."

I answered without hesitation, this is my attitude towards life, and I never blame others.

"Is this philosophy?"

"This should be the golden mean."

"You are optimistic."

"So-so, after all, people who are messing around will have to pay back sooner or later, live an extra day to earn a day, why bother yourself when you can be happy?"

"Are you afraid of death?" Mike asked another strange question. While I got to know him, he also got to know me.

"Afraid, but not afraid." I gave two answers, because the question itself has two interpretations.

"how to explain?"

"I'm afraid of death. Everyone is afraid of death, because after death, they will leave this world and leave so many people who don't want to leave."

"Then why are you not afraid of death?"

"Time will eventually take everyone away, whether rich or poor, time is equal... We are passers-by in this world after all."

I said every word very clearly. This is the insight I got when I faced Prince Long, and it is also my understanding of life.

"Your words sound like philosophy."

"I never look at philosophy, I believe that the opponent is the best teacher."
