Chapter 338 Pulling the Puppy
Chapter 338 Pulling the Puppy
Jiang Ran criticized Bai Xuan in his heart for being so unkind as to secretly hide away and eat alone.
At the same time, he went to the cupboard to find a plate, and with great effort he shoveled the snowman up and placed it on it.
Before leaving, she did not forget to find a spoon and happily carried it back to her room.
When passing by Jiang Feng's door.
Jiang Ran only felt a sudden chilly wind blowing past his ears, and had an inexplicable sense of crisis.
The next second, Jiang Feng's door slowly opened.
At the same time as the child's resentful voice suddenly rang in her ears, a hand was placed on her shoulder, exerting force secretly.
"Jiang Ran, what do you want to eat?"
As he spoke, Jiang Feng moved to her other ear and said in a faint voice, "Eating alone? That's not fair!"
Jiang Ran was not so easily frightened by the other party. Instead, he turned around as usual, the corners of his mouth gradually cracked, and he said with a smile:
"ice cream!"
She raised the plate in her hand and showed it to Jiang Feng.
Jiang Feng first stared at the two blueberries on the snowman's head.
Then, he narrowed his eyes dangerously again, "Jiang Style Rules?"
Jiang Ran answered fluently: "First, never eat alone!"
Then, the two children looked at each other, smiled in tacit understanding, and revealed evil smiles like little devils at the same time.
No matter how much you quarrel or make a fuss, good things should be shared equally and everyone who sees it gets a share!
"I've been waiting for you to say this!" Jiang Feng said with satisfaction, "I'll go get another spoon, and we'll share when I come back!!!"
Outside the door, Bai Yuan and Xue Ze were walking one after the other, completely unaware that the little snowman Xue Ze had given them was about to be viciously bitten.
Yesterday's heavy snow continued until late at night.
At this moment, it has accumulated to the depth of the calf.
The property's snowplow must first clear the main road.
The couple's villa is located in a remote area and it will take some time to return here.
Now I can only walk with difficulty, taking one deep step and one shallow step.
But fortunately, the two houses are close to each other and the road is not far, so you can get there after walking about ten meters.
Xue Ze is an eighteen-year-old boy.
Not to mention that he is tall and strong, with a broad back and strong arms.
Long legs for sure.
Even so, walking on the snow was quite a challenge.
Every step was like stepping into a quagmire, and there was a bit of resistance when pulling out.
If you are not careful, snow will flow into your shoes through the opening of your cotton boots.
If it accidentally gets on your ankle, it would be really chilling.
Bai Yuan was at an age of growing up, and was much shorter than Xue Ze. Naturally, walking on the snow was not much better than Xue Ze.
Therefore, he followed Xue Ze and stepped on the footprints he had left to gain leverage.
After walking a few steps, Xue Ze wanted to remind Bai Yuan to be careful with his step as the road was slippery in the snow.
As soon as I turned my head, I saw Bai Yuan looking at the ground with a focused expression, his head half lowered.
The movements were light and smooth, like a cat patrolling its territory, taking light and graceful steps, moving leisurely and easily from one footprint to another.
Seeing Xue Ze stop, Bai Yuan also stopped moving forward, raised his head and looked at him, casting a questioning look:
"Is something wrong?"
Under Bai Yuan's calm gaze, Xue Ze shook his head, "No."
Then, he extended a hand to Bai Yuan and asked tentatively, "Can I help you?"
Xue Ze originally thought that Bai Yuan would decline politely.
But who knew that the next second, she actually put her hand on his palm.
"Thank you." Bai Yuan thanked politely.
The road was slippery due to the snow, and it was indeed difficult for her to walk. There was no need to be pretentious or avoid suspicion.
Sometimes you see snow all over the road, but who knows which pile of snow contains icicles?
Use people when they are needed.
Be reserved now, it will be beautiful when you fall flat on the ice later!
Because they were only a few steps away, the two of them didn't play in the snow outside.
Bai Yuan and Xue Ze always put their hands in their pockets when they went out, without wearing gloves.
At this moment, their hands touched each other.
Young people have high temper, so their body temperature is naturally high.
My hands, which were frozen red from playing in the snow just now, became warm again after I put them in my pockets for a while.
The temperature was continuously transmitted to her palms through Bai Yuan's fingertips.
Xue Ze felt a little numb from the electric touch. Feeling the cool temperature and soft touch coming from his palm, he suddenly felt a little at a loss.
His outstretched hand froze for a moment, and then he carefully closed his five fingers.
During the whole process, he only concealed his touch, and the tip of his middle finger slowly slid along Bai Yuan's palm.
He didn't hold her fingers until his hand landed on the second joint of her fingers, then he loosely grasped them.
Xue Ze breathed a sigh of relief.
He was slightly distracted and secretly compared the size of their hands.
After this comparison, Bai Yuan's hands are much smaller than his own.
It made him subconsciously afraid to hold it tightly.
But if he continued to hold it lightly like this, he would worry that if the other person accidentally slipped, it would slip out of his hand and would not have any real effect.
It has lost its original meaning.
Just when he was extremely conflicted.
Seeing that he was slow to move, Bai Yuan took the initiative and grabbed his hand.
With the help of the opponent's strength, he took another big step forward.
"Let's go."
Xue Ze was caught off guard and was grabbed by Bai Yuan's backhand.
A sob, as if forced out, escaped from his throat without warning.
He looked at Bai Yuan reflexively, and was slightly relieved when he saw that the other party did not notice anything unusual about him.
Xue Ze lowered his head again, looking at his hand which was tightly held by the other party, his eyes flickered like a swaying candle flame.
The young man's mouth corners could hardly be restrained from rising, and he increased the strength of his hands, holding Bai Yuan's hand even harder, holding it tightly in his palm.
"Let's go! It's so cold outside. I'm almost frozen after just a few steps! Luckily, our two homes are close to each other. If we were far away, I would have been freezing on the road!"
The more things Xue Ze had on his mind, the more words he spoke.
As if trying to cover up something that only made it more obvious, he strode forward to catch up with Bai Yuan, and resumed the previous formation of one in front and one behind, walking in front to continue to lead the way for her.
Although the journey is short and difficult, it is not impossible to move forward.
It took less than a minute or two to reach the end.
When they walked into the yard, the snow around them had been cleared by Xue Ze in advance and was no longer piled up to their calves, making it difficult to walk.
The two of them felt a lot more relaxed because of this.
Come to the door.
Xue Ze held Bai Yuan with one hand and searched for the key in his pocket with the other hand.
When he inserted the key into the keyhole with one hand and turned the door lock.
He pulled out the key with the same hand, opened the door smoothly, and looked sideways at Bai Yuan.
"Ms. Bai, please come in?"
As he spoke, he let go of the hand that was holding Bai Yuan.
It's as if I'm afraid that if I'm a second late, the other person will misunderstand me.
The action of letting go was quick and decisive, without any hesitation.
After Bai Yuan entered the room, he moved his hand behind his back without leaving any trace.
His five fingers stretched out naturally, his thumb rubbed his palm awkwardly, then he clenched it into a fist, and his four fingertips moved up and down aimlessly.
On that day, the two spent the entire morning reviewing the manuscript song they had written yesterday.
There is indeed a difference in the sound quality between the pre-recorded electronic sound and the real violin.
Many details need to be handled by Bai Yuan and adjusted separately.
After all, this is Xue Ze's work, and Bai Yuan cannot be dictatorial and arbitrary.
Therefore, during this period, Xue Ze's opinions and views were asked from time to time.
I had an effective discussion with him on how to handle the details.
Xue Ze has always had a team responsible for producing songs for him and providing commercial packaging.
He himself is only a dabbler in creative writing.
Although Bai Yuan has performance skills and adaptation experience, it is limited to classical music, and he has only a superficial understanding of pop music.
Roughly speaking, the two are actually at about the same level. In this field, they are both in the stage of exploration and learning, so no one should laugh at anyone else.
With an attitude of friendly exchange of experiences, Bai Yuan and Xue Ze were also very harmonious during the discussion.
After dozens of attempts and repeated revisions, the final plan was finally finalized.
Time flies and it is noon. Bai Yuan has a regular schedule and doesn't want to neglect sleep and eat because of a temporary interest or hobby.
So, he took Xue Ze back to have a meal.
He filled his stomach again under the complicated gaze of Bai Xun's dark eyes.
Then, they returned to Xue Ze's house together and continued their ensemble attempt.
Although Xue Ze has not learned how to compose music systematically.
However, due to the need for daily performances, he practiced the piano very hard.
Even if he doesn't reach the level of a musician, in the eyes of ordinary people, he plays quite well.
But even so, to Bai Yuan, who was used to hearing Wen Yiche's playing, Xue Ze's performance was just at the level of a baby carriage.
It's quite remarkable, but I won't comment much.
Fortunately, she was just killing time and didn't expect to be able to partner with Xue Ze and reach the level of competing and performing on the international stage like she did with Wen Yiche.
For her, Xue Ze's victory was when he could combine the melodies of the two instruments without missing a beat.
Fortunately, Xue Ze played the piano pretty well.
Except for two times when they missed the beat at the beginning, they played it smoothly afterwards.
Instead, it exceeded Bai Yuan's psychological expectations for him, which was a pleasant surprise.
In this way, even if the other party occasionally makes mistakes when playing.
Bai Yuan can also give some guidance based on his years of observation experience.
The two people felt neither the pressure of the task nor the anxiety when creating.
With such a comfortable creative environment and a relaxed and happy creative mentality.
This song, which was originally a half-finished product, was finally completed at lightning speed in just two days.
There were no major problems when I tried playing it.
But if you want to make it into a finished film that can be published and used on stage.
They need to take the manuscripts to a professional recording studio and carefully produce and polish them.
Xue Ze is on vacation and has plenty of time, but for Bai Yuan, time is not enough.
Bai Yuan will return to Haiqi to go to school in March, so he won't have much time to stay in Xiangdong.
In addition, on the afternoon of the third day after meeting Xue Ze, Bai Yuan's second uncle Jiang Yun returned from the military base where Bai Ou was located after a military secret symposium and took over Bai Yuan's shift of babysitting the children.
The production of the song naturally came to an abrupt halt, and there was no way to continue working with Xue Ze.
The next morning after Jiang Yun came back, Bai Yuan carried her suitcase and got into Jiang Yun's car with Bai Xuan.
Xue Ze knew that Bai Yuan couldn't stay here for too long, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.
When he got up early for morning exercise and drew the curtains, he happened to see the black sedan parked at the door and Bai Yuan carrying a suitcase from the window on the first floor facing the gate of the Jiang family villa.
Bai Yuan was wearing the red down jacket he had worn when he came here. Standing in the snow-covered courtyard, his eyes were glaring as if blood was dripping from his heart.
Xue Ze stood in front of the window and stared blankly for a while.
It was not until Bai Yuan dragged his luggage down the steps by the door that he scratched his hair, grabbed a coat, put it on and ran out.
The weather is gloomy today. There is a strong wind outside the house, penetrating every pore and blowing on the face like a knife.
As soon as Xue Ze stepped out of the door, he was almost blown back into the house by the strong northeast wind.
He didn't have time to go back and put on more clothes, so he just came out with a thin shirt wrapped under his coat, just like he did when he met Bai Yuan two days ago.
The property shovels snow very quickly.
With several snowplows working at the same time, the snow in the community had been cleared as early as the afternoon before yesterday.
Afterwards, they hired several transport trucks and worked for a whole afternoon to finally transport all the snow piled on the roadside out of the community.
At this time, the road was clean, and there was no snow that had accumulated to the calf level that day, blocking the flow of traffic.
Xue Ze was extremely anxious, worried that he would miss saying goodbye to Bai Yuan, so he trotted around his villa.
After just a few steps, they arrived at the gate of the Jiang family's courtyard.
Because he ran too fast, he almost bumped into Bai Yuan who was walking towards him.
There was a car at the door blocking the view, and Bai Yuan did not see Xue Ze running over, and was almost dragged down by him.
In a hurry, he grabbed his wrist, and the two of them used each other's strength to stabilize their bodies, and nothing happened.
After Bai Yuan stood firm, he let go of the opponent's wrist.
Seeing Xue Ze in a hurry, as if he had something urgent to do, he asked again, "What's wrong?"
Xue Ze didn't hesitate, and quickly grabbed Bai Yuan's wrist, "Are you leaving now?"
"Yes, the flight is at 10 am." Bai Yuan responded, "I'm just about to go to your place to say goodbye."
This is also a social courtesy among neighbors.
Hearing that Bai Yuan had no intention of leaving without saying goodbye, Xue Ze felt a warm current in his heart, and his inner anxiety slowly subsided because of these words.
When he quickly calmed down, he saw that he was still holding the other person's wrist. His breathing suddenly stagnated and he quickly tried to make up for his abrupt behavior:
"So urgent? Our manuscripts are still with me! I was in a hurry to go out and forgot to take them. And your violin..."
When Jiang Yun came back yesterday afternoon, Bai Yuan was reviewing the manuscript of the song with Xue Ze.
Halfway through the journey, Bai Yuan saw Jiang Yun's car driving into the yard through the window, so he went back halfway.
I didn't take my violin with me when I left, so I temporarily left it at Xue Ze's house.
Just said I would be back later.
After I got back, I was busy packing my luggage, so I didn't go there again.
Xue Ze knew that Bai Yuan got up early every day to practice the piano.
I also thought that she would definitely come back to take the piano.
So he waited in the living room for a long time.
In the end, I waited in vain.
Who would have thought that Bai Yuan would leave so suddenly this morning.
