Ning Rou quickly called Liu Wei over.

The three of them stepped up the ladder to check it one after another. After confirming that the glass mirror hidden under the round nail was a camera, Liu Wei hurriedly called his superiors.

Only after asking this question did I know that surveillance cameras were indeed installed outside the wine cellar, and the reason why they didn't make it public was because they were afraid of such an unexpected situation as today.

The three of Li Mei have been taken away by the police. Since there is surveillance, the video recordings have to be sent there too.

Liu Wei moved the ladder back to the corner and rushed to the police station immediately.

After a while, the basement became quiet.

Ning Rou walked into the warehouse, cleaned up the smashed monitor fragments, and when she closed the door, she looked at the two rows of empty containers in the room, couldn't hold back for a moment, and sighed softly.

There was silence all around, and the atmosphere was a bit heavy.

Pei Yi didn't leave, she stood outside the door alone, and when she saw Ning Rou coming out, she took the initiative to get closer.

"It's not your fault."

"Those three people will compensate for these losses."

"If the boss fires you because of this incident, I can help you find a lawyer to sue him.

" A delicate and beautiful face.

Pei Yi's skin was very fair, a healthy porcelain white milk color, the arrogance and contempt in her eyebrows and eyes were suppressed, and her facial features appeared much gentler and more elegant.

Her two arms were bare, soft and white, with slender wrists and slender fingers, almost perfect.

These beautiful hands have always been used only to play the piano.

But at this time, the palms and backs of the hands were covered with black dust, and even the fingertips were dirty.

It must have just been rubbed against the door frame.

Ning Rou pursed her lips, feeling that Pei Yi was different from before when they met this time.

She didn't want to have any contact with Zhou Ruguang's family, but it was Pei Yi who helped her get out of trouble just now.

After hesitating for a while, she invited the other party to enter the house.

"Thank you."

"Your hands are dirty, come in and wash them."

When she spoke, her voice was very low, her brows were slightly frowned, and the moment her lips were loose, there was a hint of melancholy in her eyes, ups and downs, like Tiny waves rolled up by the summer wind.

Pei Yi just glanced at it accidentally, and then remembered the scene when the two met for the first time -

the cold laboratory, the thick and gloomy black cloth, the solid iron cage in the corner, and the girl in a white hospital gown.

These memories have been forgotten for many years, and now thinking about them again still makes her heart shudder.

She subconsciously took a step back.

It wasn't until Ning Rou opened the door of the rest room that she followed silently.

The room is small, divided into several compartments with glass doors, but there is no lack of furniture that should be there.

In the center of the room, there are beds and sofas, and looking inside, there is a mahogany desk with an electronic screen on it to monitor the situation of the wine warehouse.

As for electrical appliances, there are not only air conditioners and water heaters, but there is even a small single-layer refrigerator in the corner.

Ordinary employees, how can they live so well?

Pei Yi glanced around, and immediately guessed why there was a camera on the door frame of the barn—

this bar has probably been bought by Luo Zhen.

And Ning Rou obviously didn't know about it yet.

The back of the woman in front was thin and thin, as if the wind would blow and she would fall down.

Pei Yi raised her eyes, her heart tightened inexplicably.

Money can solve many problems.

Before coming here, she also thought about using money to make up for Ning Rou and let her live in a better house.

Only now did she finally understand that if she really did this, then she would not be much different from Zhou Ruhong who persuaded Ning Rou to leave with money that night.

For Ning Rou, money is actually another level of insult and injury.

Not to mention, the money came from Zhou Ruguang's sister and Zhou Ruguang's daughter respectively.

Ning Rou couldn't accept it.

The two walked one after the other, and within a few steps they reached the door of the bathroom.

During the whole process, no one spoke.

When Pei Yi came out after washing her hands, she saw Ning Rou standing quietly under the window with her head down. She didn't know what she was looking at, and her expression was very serious.

She didn't make a sound, and approached quietly with her leather shoes on.

It wasn't until he came behind Ning Rou that he saw the dark green wine bottle under the curtain—it was an unopened bottle of red wine.

Li Mei should have let it in through the window.

Ning Rou bent down, picked up the wine, turned around and saw Pei Yi, and thanked her again.

"Thank you." The

tone was very sincere, without any falsehood or pretense.

Pei Yi stood still and shook her head.

"I owe you."

Said the word 'owe' for the second time.

Ning Rou didn't think much, thinking that Pei Yi was talking about stealing photos.

"I don't owe you any more now."

"As for the photos, let's make it even."

If it wasn't for Pei Yi, perhaps, he would already be a thief in everyone's eyes.

Ning Rou tightly clenched the wine in her hand, and finally showed her first smile tonight.

A very shallow smile came and went faster.

Pei Yi saw that smile in her eyes, her lips moved slightly, she wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to say.

Maybe she doesn't owe Ning Rou anything.

But Zhou Ruguang owed Ning Rou, and it was impossible to repay it in this life.

And she is Zhou Ruguang's daughter.

She couldn't turn a blind eye to what her biological father had done.

After a brief absence, Ning Rou had already put the red wine back on the table.

Pei Yi came back to her senses, and stuck to it again like a follower.

"Are you really forgiving me? If you're still angry, you can ask me anything. Don't feel embarrassed. I did something wrong."

She wanted to do something for Ning Rou, whether it was money or things, As long as Ning Rou opens her mouth, she will be satisfied.

But Ning Rou was not prepared to give her this chance.

"You helped me too."

"I'm not angry anymore."

Ning Rou is not a person who holds grudges.

Her heart couldn't contain resentment and hatred.

Otherwise, those twenty-four years of captivity would have driven her into a lunatic long ago.

She raised her eyes, and a pair of gray eyes fell on Pei Yi's face. There was some confusion hidden in her eyes, as if she couldn't figure out how the other party's attitude towards her would change so much.

The water in the kettle has already boiled.

She took out a new cup from the drawer, scalded it with hot water, rinsed it twice with cold water, and then filled a cup of boiling water and handed it to Pei Yi.

A small gesture that couldn't be more natural, full of greetings.

Like a gentle and virtuous hostess, entertaining guests who came to visit unexpectedly.

Although every move showed alienation and politeness, at least there was no resentment or resistance.

Pei Yi's hand was gradually warmed by the cup wall.

Bewildered by the illusion of harmony in front of her eyes, she actually brought the cup to her lips and took a sip.

The boiling water entered her lips and flowed down her throat. The chill in her heart was actually dispelled a little.

She thought her relationship with Ning Rou had eased.

But she never expected that the other party's next sentence would destroy all her happiness -

"If you really want to make it up, then in the future, please don't come to me again, is that okay?"

Regardless of the reason for Pei Yi's change The reason is that Ning Rou doesn't want the two to meet again in the future.

After all, the other party is Zhou Ruguang's daughter and Zhou Ruhong's niece.

The water in the cup was still hot.

Pei Yi stayed where she was, thinking for a moment that she had heard wrong.

She reacted for a few seconds, her breathing suddenly became short of breath, her chest seemed to be suffocated, and her heart began to ache.

She couldn't be angry, because she could completely understand why Ning Rou didn't want to see her.

What really makes her uncomfortable is the guilt that cannot be vented.

Ning Rou didn't give her a chance to redeem her sins at all.

She put down the cup in her hand, her hands trembling uncontrollably.

Without even responding, he grabbed his bag and acted like a clown——

pushed open the door and rushed out.

***

Pei Yi's appearance brought some uneasiness to Ning Rou.

When I got home from get off work, it was still eleven o'clock.

Baby Ning fell asleep and woke up again. When Ning Rou entered the room, she was leaning against the wall wrapped in a blanket, holding the smartphone that was used to make videos with Luo Zhen.

Unfortunately, the screen was black and no one called.

"Mom, will Auntie come to see us tonight?"

Ning Baobao went to bed early recently, so she couldn't make time to talk to Luo Zhen.

After not seeing each other for a few days, she couldn't help but miss her aunt.

Before Ning Rou could answer, she let go of the blanket on her body, stood up from the bed with her mobile phone, and followed up with a question.

"How soon will Auntie be back?"

Ning Rou put down her bag and changed her shoes before answering with a smile.

"Auntie will call after a while."

"However, Auntie is very busy with work, so I can't always urge Auntie to come back, you know?"

Baby Ning nodded obediently. There was a smile immediately.

"Baby knows~"

"Baby doesn't rush auntie, baby just wants to talk to auntie for a while."

"Mom, can you wear new pajamas after taking a bath?

" Look, okay?"

Baby Ning had already taken a bath, and was wearing a light yellow children's pajamas at the moment.

The clothes were sent by Luozhen from Haishi two days ago, and they only arrived yesterday afternoon. The style and workmanship are very exquisite, with five lifelike sunflowers embroidered on the front and back sides. The embroidery is exquisite, and the fabric is also the finest silk.

Not only Ning Baobao has it, but Ning Rou also has it.

Seeing this new pajamas, Ning Rou also thought of Luo Zhen.

Hers was still hanging on the balcony.

Hearing Baby Ning's words, her face flushed inexplicably, and she was silent for a few seconds before she nodded and agreed to the suggestion.

"Yeah."

"Mom is going to take a shower now."

"If Auntie calls, remember to answer the phone, okay?"

Baby Ning nodded and smiled with her lips pursed.

Her hair has grown a lot this month.

At this moment, the neck was tickled by the hanging hair, so he stretched out two soft white hands to scratch.

Because she was worried that her hair would be messed up, she took out the comb from the bedside table and carefully combed the thin bangs on her forehead twice.

A small gesture, looking cute and energetic, finally has the vivacity of a child.

Looking at this scene, Ning Rou also had a smile on her cheek.

She thought, if Luo Zhen was here now, it would be great.

After taking a shower and putting the dirty clothes into the washing machine, the mother and daughter snuggled together and waited for Luo Zhen to call.

From 11:45 to 12:30, the screen of WeChat is always black.

Baby Ning fell asleep and did not wait for Auntie's call.

She could fall asleep, but Ning Rou couldn't.

Ning Rou took out her mobile phone and called Luo Zhen.

However, no one answered.

Is there something urgent?

Ning Rou told herself not to worry about things, but she still couldn't sleep all night.

Just one night without contact, her heart fell into uneasiness.

Early the next morning, after she sent Baby Ning to the school bus, she called Luozhen again, but she still didn't get a response.

She has to worry.

After spending the day absent-mindedly, and returning home from get off work at night, he still didn't wait for Luozhen to call.

This time, even Baby Ning noticed something was wrong.

"Mom, Auntie hasn't seen us for two days."

Ning Rou didn't know how to answer, so she could only hold her daughter tighter in her arms.

On the third day, she still couldn't find Luo Zhen.

She didn't know what to do, even called Luo Fanxing many times, but still couldn't get in touch with the Luo family.

After getting off work that night, she didn't go home after coming out of the bar. Instead, she rode her bicycle to the county's train station.

It was close to twelve o'clock, and only one window of the ticket office in the station was open.

Ning Rou stepped forward cautiously, and asked the conductor if there was a ticket to Haishi.

Haishi and Yuanxiang are thousands of miles apart.

If you want to take the train from Yuanxiang to Haishi, you need to transfer at least three times.

"Which day do you need a ticket for?"

"Let me take a look for you." The

female conductor's voice was gentle and relaxing.

Ning Rou bit her lip, her expression was full of embarrassment.

In the sultry summer wind in the middle of the night, her heart was tangled.

Zhou Ruhong's warning sounded in her ears, she dared not go back to Haishi at all.

After hesitating for a long time, she finally shook her head, turned around, and walked out of the ticket hall in a daze.

It wasn't until she came to the bicycle that she realized that Pei Yi had also come.

After they separated in the lounge last time, the two never saw each other again.

Ning Rou thought Pei Yi was gone, but in fact, she was always there.

"It's so late, what are you doing at the train station?"

Pei Yi stepped closer, her expression full of confusion.

There is a bicycle between them.

Ning Rou lowered her eyes and didn't speak for a long time.

It wasn't until the night wind blew past that he quietly raised his head and responded softly.

"I can't get in touch with Luozhen anymore."

The moonlight fell, revealing her reddish eyes, as well as her bewilderment and helplessness.

Pei Yi watched this scene, her lips moved slightly, and unconsciously, she took a step forward.

"Have you called Sister Fanxing?"

Hearing Luo Fanxing's name, Ning Rou's eyes turned redder.

"I can't get through either."

The woman in front of her was helpless and pitiful.

Pei Yi frowned, all the sympathy in her heart welled up.

No wonder Ning Rou wanted to come to the train station, it turned out that she wanted to find Luo Zhen.

If it wasn't for Zhou Ruguang, perhaps Ning Rou and Luo Zhen would have returned to Haishi long ago.

She pursed her lips, a trace of shame flashed in her eyes, and when she spoke, her tone was full of comfort.

"Don't worry."

"I'll ask for you."

"Ask for you now."

Ning Rou's eyes were so red, she was really afraid that Ning Rou would shed tears in front of her.

As soon as she finished speaking, she took out her mobile phone and called Jian Zining.

It's not yet twelve o'clock, so Jian Zining must have not slept.

Sure enough, within three seconds, the call was connected.

Pei Yi pressed the speakerphone before speaking.

"Sister Zining, have you contacted Luo Zhen in the past two days?"

Jian Zining lay on the bed and put on a facial mask, and when he heard Pei Yi asking about Luo Zhen again, he frowned slightly.

"You two have conflicts, are you okay?"

"It's been more than a month, why don't you dare to look for her?"

Pei Yi's expression changed when she heard this.

Because she was worried that Ning Rou might misunderstand, she had no choice but to muddle through.

"I want to find her after the recital."

"Have you contacted her in the past two days?"

This question is still there.

Jian Zining tore off the mask and threw it into the trash can before giving an answer.

"No."

"She's been busy negotiating business with Cheng's family recently. I heard that she has to work overtime every day, so I didn't look for her."

Pei Yi looked at Ning Rou, and found that the other party's brows were tightly furrowed, so she begged out loud. .

"Sister Zining, can you go to Aunt Shen to see if Luo Zhen is at Luo's house."

"Now?"

"Yes, now."

Friends for many years, it is such a sincere request.

Jian Zining didn't have the heart to refuse, even though he didn't know the reason why the other party asked him to do this, he still sat up from the bed.

"Okay."

"Wait for me for a while, I'll drive to Luo's house now." The

phone was hung up, but Ning Rou's eyes were still on the phone.

She missed Luo Zhen for three whole days.

Seeing her worry, Pei Yi felt more and more guilt in her heart.

"Don't worry."

"I asked Sister Zining to go to Luo's house to find her."

"Wait a little longer, and I'll be able to contact her."

Ning Rou nodded, her face looked better, but her cheeks were still pale.

"Thank you." The

more she said thank you, the more guilty Pei Yi felt.

Ning Rou was forced to hide in Yuanxiang because of Zhou Ruguang.

She didn't dare to look at Ning Rou anymore, and didn't speak any more.

Just like this, the two of them waited quietly, waiting for Jian Zining to call.

This wait is twenty minutes.

"I went to Luo's to see, but Luo Zhen is not here. Aunt Shen said that she works overtime every day and hasn't been back for a week."

"I went to Luo's again on the way, but there is no one in the company. Fortunately, I kept Luo Zhen's assistant. I just called to ask about it, and the assistant said that she and Cheng An went on a business trip to other provinces these few days, and they probably will return to Haishi tomorrow."

It turned out that she was on a business trip.

It's just, why can't I even get through the phone when I'm on a business trip?

Ning Rou felt strange, and before she had time to ask, Pei Yi spoke first.

"Luo Zhen, hasn't she ever answered the phone?"

Ning Rou nodded without thinking much when she heard this sentence.

"No."

Although Jian Zining said that he was on a business trip, Pei Yi still keenly realized that something was wrong.

After having dinner with He Renzi that night, Luo Zhen warned her not to go to Ning Rou.

Luo Zhen cared so much about Ning Rou, how could she not answer Ning Rou's call?

There must be something wrong.

Pei Yi felt vaguely uneasy, but dared not speak out.

After hesitating for a while, she walked up to Ning Rou and took the bicycle over.

"It should be a closed meeting."

"It will be fine, Sister Zining said, Luo Zhen will return to Haishi tomorrow."

"I'll take you back."

Ning Rou doesn't know what a closed meeting is, and she doesn't know either Pei Yi said this to reassure herself.

These words, like a reassuring needle, immediately relaxed her hanging heart.

"Thank you."

"However, I can ride back by myself."

"No delivery."

After twelve o'clock, the road was pitch black, and there was no one there.

Pei Yi was worried and her attitude was very firm.

"I called a car, and it's outside."

"Put the bike in the trunk, and you can go back quickly by car. Don't you have a little daughter at home?"

Speaking of Baby Ning, Ning Rou's heart couldn't help but shake.

After hesitating, she could only agree.

Pei Yi can't ride a bicycle, but she can still push a cart.

She pushed the cart and walked in front, Ning Rou followed behind.

The two left the train station, and sure enough, they saw a black car on the side of the road.

What was supposed to be half an hour's journey ended in less than ten minutes.

Pei Yi accompanied Ning Rou into the old home.

Before Ning Rou went upstairs, she summoned up her courage and asked a question cautiously.

"Sister Ning is calling tomorrow, can I go to the bar to meet you?"

She still remembered Ning Rou's words that they should not meet again.

When it came to Rozen, any principles seemed less important.

Ning Rou nodded and gave an affirmative answer.

"Yes."

* * *

Luo Zhen's business trip is obviously strange.

Pei Yi wanted Jian Zining to ask again, but unexpectedly, Jian Zining contacted her first before she called.

"Luo Zhen seems to be missing."

"I went to Luo's just now, and I didn't expect to see Cheng An's father in the office. He said that Cheng An hadn't called home in the past few days. He planned to go back to Haishi today, but I didn't contact him either."

"Aunt Shen also knew about this, and now she went to the police station with Cheng An's father, and she should be planning to call the police."

Jian Zining's tone sounded very worried.

Pei Yi's heart couldn't help but thump, and Ning Rou's pale face immediately appeared in her mind.

She could roughly guess why Cheng An and Luo Zhen disappeared together for so long without anyone noticing.

After all, the two almost got married back then, and now they are both single.

I'm afraid that in the eyes of the Cheng family, Cheng An is chasing the goddess, so he didn't bother; as for the Luo family, they never dared to ask more about Luo Zhen.

Thinking of Ning Rou, she felt a little troubled in her eyes, not knowing whether she should tell this matter or not.

At eight o'clock in the evening, she went to the bar on time.

After entering the rest room with Ning Rou, she found a four or five year old girl with pigtails sitting on the sofa in the room.

Just by looking at that yellow hair, she could guess that this is Luo Zhen's daughter.

She couldn't tell what it felt like, but her heart was filled with various emotions, including guilt, self-blame, sourness and sadness.

She had never been ashamed of her father as she was at this moment.

Zhou Ruguang is more terrifying than a devil.

How can a woman and a woman give birth to a child?

Pei Yi looked at the villain on the sofa, and couldn't imagine what kind of life Ning Rou lived when she was imprisoned in the laboratory.

She couldn't even lift her feet.

Ning Rou didn't notice any abnormality in the atmosphere. Seeing Pei Yi standing still, she took the initiative to take Ning Baobao's hand and walked over, then bent down, put her lips next to her daughter's ear and said something.

Pei Yi lowered her eyes, and all she saw was a small pink face and a jerky and shy smile.

Before she could recover, she heard another address she had never heard before—"Hello,

Auntie Pei." The

eldest of the three Pei family siblings, Pei Yi, was only 30 years old this year.

If counted by blood relationship, Ning Rou should be the older sister of the three of them.

That Ning Rou's daughter should really call herself 'Little Aunt'.

Pei Yi's heartbeat was a little flustered, and her eyebrows were tightly frowned, as if she didn't know how to face this 'auntie'.

She felt that she couldn't bear it, not because she didn't want to, but because she didn't have the qualifications.

The more Ning and Baby Ning showed kindness and affection to her, the deeper her guilt.

Her temples throbbed wildly again, and all she could think about was the pictures of getting along with Zhou Ruguang since she was a child.

She couldn't answer.

Ning Rou thought she was dissatisfied with the title 'Auntie', so she couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

No way, let Baby Ning call Pei Yi 'sister'.

No matter how you think about it, it's not very suitable.

When the atmosphere was awkward, Pei Yi finally had a reaction.

She squatted down, her eyes were on par with Baby Ning's, and then, forcing herself to ignore the guilt in her heart, she raised her fingertips and lightly touched Baby Ning's right cheek.

She still can't believe that women and women can have children.

But the touch of the skin under the fingertips is so real.

Baby Ning is indeed a real person.

Confirming this, her heart sank into more and more pain.

She felt that Ning Rou was pitiful, and Ning Baobao was also pitiful.

Time passed by, and it wasn't until Baby Ning hid behind Ning Rou that she finally regained her composure and responded gently and calmly—

"Hello."

"Auntie doesn't know what your name is yet. "

In Baobao Ning's world, there is only a mother, but now a mother and aunt. Now, there is another aunt.

She is a little happy.

Although Pei Yi's appearance is not as good as Luo Zhen's, but on the surface, she can definitely be regarded as a gentle beauty.

Such people are easy to like before they get to know each other in depth.

Children are no exception.

Baby Ning looked at Pei Yi's face, pursed her lips lightly, and after a few seconds, poked her head out from behind Ning Rou's legs, and answered the question obediently -

"My name is Baby Ning."

Pei Yi In the end, there was still no mention of Luo Zhen's disappearance.

"Sister Zining said that the meeting has been delayed for a few days, and Luo Zhen can't contact you for the time being."

Ning Rou originally thought that Luo Zhen would return to Haishi today, even if he couldn't contact her, he could still talk to her through Pei Yi's relationship A few words, that's why Ning Baobao was brought here.

It's just that I didn't expect that the final result was still disappointing.

Both mother and daughter are not people who can hide their emotions.

Pei Yi saw the disappointment flashing in the eyes of the two at a glance, and for a while, she couldn't bear it.

"I'll see her in a few days."

"Before I came this time, I met her once."

"She's in Haishi, and she misses you very much."

Pei Yi's words were like a ball of fire, In an instant, Ning Baobao's eyes lit up.

"Really?"

"Auntie said she misses mother and baby too?"

The tone was full of expectation, which made people reluctant to say 'no'.

Baby Ning is nestled in Ning Rou's arms, the braid on her head is slightly raised, and her thin flat bangs are attached to her forehead. Looking down, her eyes are round and big, as if covered with a layer of water, wet Yes, her cheeks are soft and fair, and there is a faint joy on her lips. She looks obedient and cute.

Pei Yi looked at her, then at Ning Rou, and then realized that the mother and daughter were looking at her with slight smiles in their eyes.

It can be seen that they miss Luozhen very much.

Thinking of the dinner that day, she took out her phone, then opened the photo album, found a photo, and handed it to Ning Rou.

It's her photo with He Renzi and Luo Zhen.

The photo was taken at the entrance of the restaurant. He Renzi stood in the middle, and she and Luo Zhen stood on the left and right sides.

There was a watermark on the photo, and the date was written on it, which was indeed the day before she came to Yuanxiang.

Ning Rou was engrossed in watching it, and she was stunned for more than ten seconds before she moved her hand in front of Ning Baobao.

She has seen He Renzi before, but she saw it from Luo Zhen's photo album.

Pei Yi was afraid that she would misunderstand, so she took the initiative to explain.

"That's Luo Zhen and I's former piano teacher."

"She made an appointment for the dinner."

Ning Rou raised her head when she heard the sound, and it took a while to understand the hint in this sentence, and she quickly looked away.

She didn't respond, but Baby Ning became interested. After returning the phone to Pei Yi, she sat up straight in Ning Rou's arms and asked curiously.

"Auntie and Auntie, can you play the piano?"

Baby Ning has seen the piano, but only on TV and cartoons.

In real life, she has never seen a piano, let alone seen anyone play it.

My mother never told her that my aunt could play the piano.

Pei Yi was about to nod, when she suddenly thought of Luo Zhen's hand, a thorn appeared in her heart, causing her to feel a sharp pain even when she was breathing.

She didn't know how to answer, so she called up the video of herself playing the piano from her mobile phone and showed it to Baby Ning.

The video was taken when she was performing abroad. The lighting and atmosphere are both perfect. Coupled with the sound of music like a spring, it is definitely a wonderful enjoyment.

Baby Ning finished watching the 15-minute video, and Ning Rou also finished watching it.

It wasn't until the sound of the piano in the air disappeared that Pei Yi's expression became more natural.

"Auntie played really well~"

Ning Baobao was not stingy with his praise.

Pei Yi had heard many compliments, but at this moment she felt a little embarrassed.

After putting away the phone, I said 'thank you'.

Three hours passed in a blink of an eye.

When Ning Rou got off work, Pei Yi still wanted to see her off, but she was afraid that her enthusiasm would offend her.

Seeing the pink bicycle disappear into the night, she took a taxi and followed from a distance.

Ning Rou still lives in that dilapidated old courtyard.

Pei Yi looked uneasy, always wanting to do something.

She wanted to help Ning Rou, but it was obviously impossible to give money directly.

After much deliberation, we can only adopt roundabout tactics.

Since Ning Baobao is interested in the piano, why not use the piano and give Ning Rou some money.

***

With the reputation of a young pianist, Pei Yi successfully negotiated cooperation with several kindergartens without any effort.

She held a private small concert for the children in the garden for free, and the only requirement was to arrange for a child to perform with her.

As for who it is, of course it's up to her to choose.

When Ning Rou received the call from the kindergarten, Ning Rou was still greeting customers at the sugar shop.

Before the teacher finished speaking, she guessed who the enthusiastic pianist was.

Apart from Pei Yi, there will be no one else.

She was hesitating whether to agree or not, when a familiar childish voice rang out from the other end of the phone.

"Mom~" The

teacher actually gave the phone to the baby.

Ning Rou was a little surprised.

"Baby?"

Soon, the other side responded.

"Mom, I'm a baby~"

"The teacher said, I can learn to play the piano~"

"Is it possible?" It can be

heard that Baby Ning doesn't want to miss this opportunity to learn to play the piano.

Ning Rou sighed inwardly.

Now, don't worry about it.

Ning Baobao wants to learn, how can she refuse?

She finally agreed.

Pei Yi has been in Yuanxiang for four days, at most, she can stay for three more days.

The recital is scheduled for the last day, so there are still two days of teaching time.

For two days, such a young child might not be able to remember the keys of the piano.

Pei Yi took Ning Baobao two days off for the reason of practice, and took him to the piano room.

Ning Rou didn't have to go to work in the morning, so she went along with her.

Perhaps because he inherited Luo Zhen's talent, Ning Baobao not only has a good sense of rhythm, but also has a keen hearing, and the speed of identifying the keys far exceeds Pei Yi's expectations.

This child, like Luo Zhen, is a good seed to learn piano.

Although there are only two days, talented students will be able to teach faster than non-talented students.

What the two played together was a simple piece of music.

The part that Ning Baobao is responsible for is very small, only a few keys.

After two days of practice, she successfully memorized the places where she needed to move her fingers.

This afternoon, Ning Rou came to the piano room after get off work to pick up her daughter home, and what she saw was Pei Yi and Ning Baobao sitting side by side on the stool and playing the piano earnestly.

I have to say, it is indeed a very beautiful picture.

She couldn't even bear to bother.

After the song was over, Pei Yi turned her head first and said hello.

"Baby is very smart."

"Tomorrow's performance will definitely not go wrong." When it

comes to piano, she has always been confident.

That natural arrogance was unknowingly revealed from his brows and eyes.

As a mother, it is natural to feel happy when your child is praised.

Ning Rou stepped closer and carried Baby Ning off the chair.

When she looked up again, she smiled at Pei Yi.

A very gentle and very sincere smile.

"That's good."

"I'm afraid she will cause you trouble."

Pei Yi also bent her lips when she heard the sound, and immediately stretched out her hand to touch Baby Ning's head.

"Baby likes the piano very much, doesn't he?"

Baby Ning nodded and answered with a very serious tone.

"Well, I like it."

If I didn't like it, how could I stay in the piano room for two days?

Only true love can make efforts for it.

Pei Yi thought, just like her.

Talent is not enough, and hard work is the only way to reach the top.

She is not ashamed of her diligence and hard work, on the contrary, she is proud of the hard work she has practiced over the years.

The atmosphere of the room is good.

The smile on Pei Yi's face hadn't dissipated yet, and Baby Ning's voice sounded in her ears again.

Just one sentence made the smile on her mouth completely freeze-

"Baby wants to learn piano, play with auntie when Auntie comes back~"

The unintentional words of a four-year-old child easily put Pei Yi's hand over the years. The false pretense of self-deception, all shredded.

The damage to Luo Zhen was done ten years ago, and it is irreparable to this day.

That blade is very thin, not enough to kill a person, but it can take away a girl's ability to play the piano.

In Pei Yi's heart, Luo Zhen has never been a person who likes piano.

Not to mention love, Luo Zhen didn't even care about the piano at all.

She skipped piano lessons at will, came and went whenever she wanted, and never practiced too much when learning new pieces.

She has no patience for the piano, let alone love.

Every time, by virtue of her talent, she left others far behind.

Pei Yi felt countless times that the hard work she was proud of was worthless in front of Luo Zhen's talent.

But Fan Luozhen showed a little concern for the piano, she would not have agreed to Luo Zhenting's request so quickly.

She stubbornly believed that if Luo Zhen didn't love the piano, even if he deprived him of the ability to play the piano, it wouldn't be considered a kind of harm.

In other words, for Luo Zhen, this is not an unbearable injury.

At least, on the surface, her guess was correct.

With his wrist injured, Luo Zhen was sad because he lost the opportunity to go abroad, not because he would not be able to play the piano in the future.

This kind of cognition undoubtedly dispelled most of the guilt in Pei Yi's heart, and also made her feel that what she did did not have much impact on Luo Zhen.

If it wasn't for Ning Baobao, she would never realize how cruel her original behavior was, and even calling it vicious would not be too much.

Does it matter whether Luo Zhen loves the piano or not?

It doesn't matter at all.

She only knew that if Luo Zhen's hand hadn't been injured, then the person sitting here teaching Baby Ning how to play the piano would not be her, but Luo Zhen.

Realizing this, her fingertips trembled slightly, and cold sweat dripped down her back.

She not only deprived Luo Zhen of the ability to play the piano, but also made a child, forever and forever, unable to play the piano with his mother.

At this moment, she finally realized the fact -

whether Luo Zhen loves the piano or not, she is not qualified to deprive Luo Zhen of the ability to play the piano.

The blade ten years ago left a scar on Luo Zhen's wrist, and for the rest of her life, it will also leave a wound on her heart that can never heal.

Just like Zhou Ruguang couldn't make up for Ning Rou.
