Chapter 144: Confession

Before the winter vacation, Tang Jinyu was recommended by Teacher Li Ao to participate in a competition. This competition was very important. He took leave for the final exam and did not participate.
Li He went to the Australian City to play, and he was not in the same arena. There are really no two who can play without Li He at the same level.
Unlike Li He's career path when he was a child, Tang Jinyu integrated it into his life from the very beginning, like eating and drinking water, something he must do every day. He may not be as proficient as Lee Hyuk, but he is the one who can best integrate daily feelings into the music, especially this time his family members accompanied him to participate in the competition. In addition to his parents, uncle, his favorite brother also came.
Tang Jinyu has not been so happy for a whole year.
He played Liszt's "Dream of Love". The whole piece is soothing and long, and it is about love-having been played by hundreds of people, everyone can still feel a different kind of special relationship.
The song is romantic and warm, full of sweetness, and different from the ups and downs of others. Tang Jinyu’s piano sound (dry gan) is clean and clear, and the boy in a white (color) dress sitting on the stage plays like a young prince. Sitting there played a fairy tale.
He played the piano more attentively than ever, and the emotion he brought was different.
Very bright and pure piano sound, very gentle like others, every note can be grasped in place, with the calmness that a teenage boy can rarely play, but it also has the innocence and warmth unique to this age, very wonderful Merged together.
The judges were immersed in it and gave Tang Jinyu a particularly high score, and the female pianist who liked him very much at the end of his performance, the judge stood up and enthusiastically went forward to give him a hug.
Xia Ye sat down and watched, the sound of music echoed with the Buddha in the hall.
Although he doesn't understand piano, he doesn't hinder the boy in the stands who concentrates on playing.
He sat there listening attentively, applauding earnestly, and there was only one person in his eyes. When the other person smiled, he saw it, and raised his lips when he didn't realize it.
How could there be such a good person in this world?
It was so good that he only thought of him all day.
When Xia Ye was playing with Tang Jinyu, he kept thinking about this question. After thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't help but his eyes became enthusiastic, falling on the piano and also on the boy playing the piano.
At the end of the three-day competition, Tang Jinyu won the first place unexpectedly.
He took the trophy and ran to his family, hugged them one by one, and gave Xia Ye a particularly strong hug, blushing, and handed the trophy over: "Brother, give it to you!"
Xia Ye was stunned, then took it and held it carefully.
Tang Hongjun was a little jealous, looked at Xia Ye several times, and said to his son, "Xiaoyu, this father didn't even look at it."
Tang Jinyu said generously: "It's okay, our family has many other trophies, and those are for Dad!"
"But those are not gold awards, no, no, dad didn't say that the silver award is not good, but this is different. This time it is the first gold award you have won..."
"Just because it is the first place, I have to give it to my brother." Tang Jinyu said confidently, "My brother has never let go of the second place trophy!"
Tang Hongjun opened his mouth and couldn't refute that Xia Ye either won't win the prize, but if he wins, he will really be the first.
Chen Suling was amused and nodded: "It seems to be true, Hong Jun, there are so many trophies in the family. Xiaoyu took the first prize in the competition and gave it to you, so stop fighting."
Tang Hongjun retorted in a low voice: "The first trophy is clearly on Mom's side."
Tang Jinyu won the first prize at the age of five. Although it was a competition for elementary school students in the city, it had a different meaning. Grandma Chen gave him a banquet for three days and invited guests to have a fun, and took the opportunity to polish the trophy. The most conspicuous place was put on display. The old lady said to borrow at the beginning, but she didn't return it afterwards. Every year when she went to Tang Hongjun, she could see it on the showcase in her living room. She took the glass cover and placed it in the most conspicuous place.
Tang Hongjun tried to mention it to her twice, but the old lady either interrupted or pretended not to hear, obviously she didn't intend to pay it back.
Chen Suling looked up at her husband with a smile, but Tang Hongjun was afraid of her and immediately did not dare to mention it again.
Xia Ye took the opportunity to collect the trophy and held it firmly in his hand. Even Uncle Tang gave him a few times aside, and tried to pretend not to see it, so he just stayed.
The winter vacation has begun. The winter vacation for high school students is much shorter than before. There are still many tutoring classes to attend, but Tang Jinyu doesn't need to go. He usually tutors at home by his family.
Both Tang Hongjun and Chen Suling are highly educated, plus his grandfather, Dean Tang, who usually learns at home is enough. Such teaching qualifications are not available to anyone with money.
What's more, Xia Ye returned this time, and it took only two years to finish reading Qingbei. After that, he started his own business and took the position of the Internet magnate, more than enough to tutor a high school student.
Xia Ye took the initiative to ask Ying to suggest that he would tutor the children with homework during the winter vacation. After greeting her family, he first took Tang Jinyu back to the town where she had lived before.
He had promised the children at home to give him the whole winter vacation time and stay with him there.
Chen Suling's factory is still there, and she often goes back and forth there. The houses of the Xia and Tang families are reserved for special care, so there is no need to prepare anything. Chen Suling often stayed there for a while, and she also had to go there this winter vacation. There was a batch of down jackets rushing to work, but they had to be staggered by half a month with their brothers. She heard Xia Ye say, nodded and said: "Okay, go, look at Xiaoyu, it may snow in these two days, remember not to play outside for too long for fear of catching the cold."
Xia Ye agreed, "I know, don't worry, you must take care of it."
North, small town.
The small town has also changed a bit in recent years. The previous zoo was demolished and it is said that it will be converted into Happy Valley. Many young people are looking forward to it, but the elderly are a little bit reluctant. The panda house is separate and has a special breeding base, so it has not been affected. Bai Xue just gave birth to a baby two months ago. Now many people go to see the red panda, and Han Yixing is the most enthusiastic.
After Tang Jinyu returned, Han Yixing called and asked him, "Xiaoyu, would you like to see the baby panda?"
Tang Jinyu thought for a while, but refused, "Someday."
"When is the next day?"
"Well, it may be years later, I have something to do."
The little girl was disappointed, "What is it, is it more important than watching a baby panda?"
Tang Jinyu smiled and rubbed the tip of her nose, "Well, something special and very important."
Han Yixing was busy there and didn't talk much. He just told him that he would spare a few days to eat together and hung up in a hurry.
Xia Ye packed their luggage and tidied the bedroom. He just came out to hear his brother talking to someone on the phone and asked, "Who is calling?"
"The stars are calling, and ask me if I want to see a panda." Tang Jinyu saw that Xia Ye's collar was not fixed, so he tidyed it up. He was still a little bit tall and he was used to stepping on his feet.
Natsano originally frowned slightly, but after seeing the child concentrate on smoothing his collar, he thought for a moment and said nothing.
When they came back, it happened that the first snow since the beginning of winter fell in the small town.
The snow was quite heavy, and it stayed until night.
Tang Jinyu had been standing by the window watching. Xia Ye called him twice, but didn't hear it. He was holding his hands and warming him before reacting, and raised his head and said, "Brother?"
Xia Ye clutched his hand and said, "I'm so mad about what I'm thinking about. I have forgotten my hand on the glass. It's so cold. Be careful of getting sick."
Tang Jinyu smiled and said, "No, I'm good now (shen)!" He raised his arm and pretended to show it to Xia Ye. After a few strokes, Xia Ye amused him. After seeing the snow scene outside, Tang Jinyu gently Tugged Xia Ye's sleeve, and whispered, "Brother, will you go out with me for a walk? I want to step on the snow."
Xia Ye hesitated.
Tang Jinyu tugged his sleeves and shook it twice, staring at him eagerly. Xia Ye couldn't bear this. He softened and nodded, "It's just a short while, and I will come back after a while, you know?"
"I knew, brother is the best!" Tang Jinyu happily gave him a hug and ran to change his clothes.
Xia Ye followed behind him, brought him a hat, scarf and gloves, and fully armed the child before putting on a down jacket, holding hands to take him out.
The two of them didn't go far, so they made a circle in the community, and walked the same way as Tang Jinyu took out for a walk when he was a child.
Tang Jinyu walked two steps ahead, put his hands in his pockets, and stepped on clear shoe prints on the snow, making a "creaking" sound. Xia Ye followed behind him, stepped side by side and stepped on the slightly larger shoe prints. As he walked, he said something about Tang Jinyu asking him to carry him home on his back when he was a child. He deliberately teased him: "Do you still want to carry it today?"
Tang Jinyu stood there and stopped, shook his head and said, "No."
Xia Ye also stopped and looked at him. There was a small intersection in front of him. He waited for the children to re-determine the route.
Tang Jinyu stood there without moving, as if having a lot of courage, turned around and walked two steps to Xia Ye, and gave him a hug.
Xia Ye was unprepared, raised his arms for him to hold, and shouted, "Xiaoyu?"
The boy in his arms did not say a word, but he hugged the ground very hard, and buried his head in his arms. Xia Ye slowly put his hand on his shoulder and patted him comfortingly. With the other hand (touching Mo), he touched his head and called him again.
Tang Jinyu could feel the coolness of snowflakes falling in her ears, but the moment it fell, it was melted by his own heat. He is not cold at all now, and his whole body is warm. He held Xia Ye hard and didn't let go, "Brother, During your absence, I thought a lot. I sometimes think, if I have a blood relationship with you, even if there is a little bit, so that I can just run to disturb you. I'm not afraid that if I do something wrong, I will suddenly be alienated, but I thought again, if you are not my brother, maybe I can have a little... idea..."
Xia Ye realized something was wrong and asked in a low voice, "Baby?"
Tang Jinyu hugged him, buried her head in his arms and squatted: "I, I wrote you letters and wrote a lot. I thought about it for a long time. I originally wanted to wait for you to go back to read those letters at night. I can't wait, brother, I want to tell you in person...I, I like..."
Xia Ye's heartbeat speeded up, and the last sentence the child buried in his (chest xiong) mouth was almost a little ending, with a slight trembling, he said quietly, but he still heard it.
Xia Ye raised his hand (touched Mo) (touched Mo) his head, lowered his voice as much as possible, and coaxed softly: "Xiaoyu, you say it again, I didn't hear clearly."
"I like you."
This time the kid said much more clearly, grabbed his clothes and raised his head. His face was already flushed from his cheeks to his neck. He tried to look at his eyes and said again: "I like my brother, I want to be with you. together."
Xia Ye's Adam's apple rolled up, but the corners of her lips rose up but quickly receded, and she said in a hoarse voice, "You are still young, I can stay with you for a few years..."
"No."
"Ok?"
"I am 17 years old and I know what I am doing." Tang Jinyu looked at him seriously, "I don't want a few years. If you leave me for a few months, I can't stand it anymore, brother, will you stay with me forever?"
Xia Ye thought about a lot of confession scenes. He wanted to wait a few years and let him take the lead, let the children at home touch him a little bit, give him the best everything, and give him the most reassuring love, but he never thought about it. Will receive such a childish and serious confession.
The boy in his arms said stubbornly, looking at him, he would not be able to open his eyes, as if he would continue to grind until he nodded even if he did not agree today.
Xia Ye thought to himself, maybe the other party is more courageous than him.
He looked at Tang Jinyu and slowly nodded: "Okay."
Tang Jinyu smiled, but soon hesitated, "Brother, am I embarrassing you like this? But what should I do if I really like you? If, if you meet someone you like more in the future, well, then I Just be better, work harder than everyone else, can you like me more..."
Xia Yedao: "There is no one else."
Tang Jinyu looked up at him. Xia Ye took off his gloves, stroked his cheek with a warm palm, and dropped a kiss on his forehead, "I promise you, there is no one else, what I like is here."
From beginning to end, he liked this one.
This one in front of him, this one in his arms, is the treasure he carefully hid in his heart.
