Cui Yuji said softly in a thin voice, "shall I start playing when I say 1, 2 and 3?"
"Yes."
She slightly lowered her head, seemingly looking at the keys. In fact, she slightly turned her head sideways, looked at the boy she had been thinking about for 25 years with the rest of her eyes, slightly opened her mouth, and read in her very gentle voice: "1, 2, 3."
As soon as the sound of the word 3 fell, we were familiar with the most familiar song, happy birthday, and it rang.
Although it was their first ensemble, they had a tacit understanding that a string of neat and flexible notes flowed out of their fingers.
The sound of the piano seems far away, out of reach, and seems very close. It curls around our ears, and a series of jumping notes gently slide through our hearts.
Everyone listened to the wonderful sound of the piano, stood up, approached them and sang happy birthday at the same time.
When the music was finished, everyone couldn't help clapping their hands, because the sound of the piano was so wonderful.
Lu Tianyi played a song with strangers for the first time. Although it was a simple happy birthday, he knew that they played very well. He felt that the song he played today was the best he played after learning the piano.
He was obsessed with the sound of the piano and wanted to play it again. When he thought of cutting the cake at 8 o'clock, he stood up and wanted to go to the tea table.
When he raised his feet to go to the tea table, his feet seemed to be sucked by a magnet. He turned to look at Cui Yuji and bowed deeply to her, "thank you, mom Cui."
After saying thank you, Lu Tianyi wondered why he bowed to her and said thank you!
Cui Yuji heard her mother again. The smile on her face was more brilliant. She opened her mouth slightly and asked in a low voice, "one day, can I hold you?"
He was stunned.
But soon he stretched out his hands and hugged Cui Yuji. She loosened her hands and asked, "is that ok?"
She was stunned. He took the initiative to hug her. It was 25 years since the last hug. Her eyes were filled with tears, nodded her head, and her voice was a little noisy and dumb, saying, "thank you!"
Standing next to Hou Yiping immediately said, "it's time to cut the cake. It's so nice that you and mother Cui played the piano just one day. You two cut the cake together."
Lu Tian was stunned for a moment. Then he said, "OK." looking at Cui Yuji, he asked, "is it OK?"
Cui Yuji nodded her head desperately and replied in a dull voice, "yes, yes."
As soon as Lu Tian came over to the tea table, Chen Yuxin took a lighter and lit the candle.
Hou Yiping took Cui Yuji and came over. "I've just sung a birthday song. Don't sing any more. You stand next to Tianyi and blow candles and all cakes together."
Lu Tian gave a "um" sound, moved his body and made room for Cui Yu to stand next to him.
Cui Yuji walked up to him, slightly turned her head and looked at the boy standing one head higher than him. She was very excited, and her heart was tight.
Hou Yiping, "let's count 1, 2 and 3 together. You two blow candles together."
When the voice fell, everyone began to count: "1, 2, 3."
As soon as the three words fell, they lowered their heads and blew out the candles.
Lu Tianyi took the knife and put it in Cui Yuji's hand. Then he walked behind her. His hand was on Cui Yuji's right hand and cut the cake with her.
After cutting the cake, he gave it to everyone. He didn't like dessert very much. He didn't eat it again after two bites.
Then he looked at Cui Yuji sitting not far from him from time to time. He felt a little abnormal tonight.
