Appearing well-behaved and small, inciting desires to protect.

(Characters 4894)

 

Qiao Yang never imagined that Gu Ye would care about this issue.

Liking Mo Yu was the original owner’s business, and it had nothing to do with him. Then how was he supposed to answer?

He was optimistic about Mo Yu’s ability to control his voice, and his natural long and continuous voice was very compatible with the music he composed.

On top of that, Mo Yu’s personality was timid, so as a friend, he couldn’t help but want to protect him.

Qiao Yang thought that Gu Ye also only asked casually, so he randomly thought up some reasons to answer, “I was fooling around and causing havoc when I was young, this can’t be called ‘like’. Probably because I saw that he was quite well behaved, and small stature, so I want to befriend him, protect him.”

His gaze was focused on the piano while he casually tapped on the black and white piano keys with his ten slender fingers, making random sounds but not noisy.

He seems unconcerned.

Completely unaware of what kind of emotions were boiling inside the heart of the man next to him.

 

Well behaved? Small build? Makes one want to protect?

The domineering, tall, and with just one sentence could make many companies go bankrupt as he wished Gu Ye: ……

His eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the man playing with the keys and asked in a low voice, “Do you still like that type now?”

Qiao Yang stopped tapping on the piano keys, looked up at Gu Ye and shook his head, “I’ve never liked it, I don’t even know what kind of feeling like is.”

“What if…”

Gu Ye paused, and asked him again, “Someone told you that he likes you, what would you do?”

That sentence seemed to stir up bad memories for Qiao Yang, his expression looked troubled. He let out a “tsk”.

“It’s such a troublesome thing. It’s really annoying that I always encountered it in the past. I can actually understand why you avoid Qin Man.”

“You’re living a good life by yourself, but someone came along and wanted to get involved in your life.”

He started to live at the bar after Qiao Shen left. In the past two years, a confession would come every now and then, both men and women; and sometimes they would end up making a ruckus at the tables.

Qiao Yang shook his head and heaved a sigh, looked at Gu Ye and emphasized again, “It’s really annoying!”

Gu Ye didn’t know whether he should be happy or sad. He patted Qiao Yang’s shoulder and left the piano room.

 

When he returned, he had a bottle of wine and two wine glasses in his hand.

Qiao Yang was already concentrating on playing Mozart’s《Lullaby》.

The crystal piano reflected the dazzling rays of light that were shining down on it, and the man sat shrouded in those brilliant rays. His fingers danced lightly like flowing water. The copper-colored strings pull the wooden hammers to make a series of beautiful music sounds.

The soft melody flowing from the piano room was just as soothing as the player. It appeased the people’s heart and relaxed the mind, swimming in it.

But this tenderness was not something anyone could monopolize.

He would be good to his family and friends. He liked music, he liked wine, but he wasn’t fond of people.

That was also a good thing, at least he wouldn’t have anyone in his heart.

Soothing and tranquil music flowed with the time here. Gu Ye leaned his body against the edge of the piano as he watched and listened quietly, while drinking the bitter and astringent wine in his hand.

The song ended.       ???? ???? ????? ???? ??

It was not until the last lingering tune had completely faded in the room that Qiao Yang looked up and asked him, “How do you feel, are you able to relax?”

Gu Ye handed him a glass of wine, smiled softly and said, “It’s very comforting, really. It would be great if I could hear it every night.”

Qiao Yang took a sip from the wine glass, his eyes immediately lit up. It seemed like he was enjoying it, “Louis XIII?! You have so many good things in your collection.”

He took another sip and lifted the glass to give it a gentle swirl, admiring the silky sway of the fine liquor in the glass. The way it seemingly reflected the gleaming light in layers of waves.

He laughed and said, “This kind of service is too good, I still want to come to play every night.”

Gu Ye “Do you want me to set up a bed for you, and you can sleep here when you are tired from playing.”

Qiao Yang knew that he was joking, so he replied, “Why don’t you give me the passcode to your place so that I can come over at any time.”

“Sure.“

Gu Ye nodded, his face looking serious and did not seem to be joking.

Qiao Yang looked at him in surprise, “Bro, even this is fine?! You can’t be so lenient with your friends.”

Gu Ye looked indifferent, “Because I also know your house’s password, 960418. You say it when you were drunk that night. Is it your birthday?”

Qiao Yang: ……

He really should stop drinking too much in the future.

He replied, “It’s a birthday, so it’s not easy to forget.”

He put his wine glass down after saying that and went back to playing.

 

Gu Ye whispered from the side, “The birthday… has already passed then.”

There was a certain kind of regret in his voice.

The Qiao Family’s home.

In the study,Qiao Zhen and Qiao Tiancheng were looking over the investigation data sent by Gu Ye with a fine-tooth comb.

Qiao Zhen shook his head and sighed, “Gu Ye, this person really shouldn’t be underestimated. In such a short period of time, he has thoroughly checked the ins and outs of all the people in charge of the entire Qi Fengtai management department.”

“Sure enough, none of these public officials are clean. In this way, not just Wang Chengling alone, this is equivalent to uprooting the entire management department’s personnels.”

Qiao Tiancheng nodded, “His target was different from ours. Our investigation was limited to only the evidence of Wang Chenglings’s colluding and making dealings with the people behind Qi Fengtai.”

 ???? ???? ????? ???? ?? 

“And so Gu Ye skipped over this Qi Fengtai restriction. He directly checked the evidence of their wrongdoings. His eyes looking at the big picture, and quickly cut to it.”
