Bamboo Horse Pianist

Chapter 1 Because of you, I want to become an excellent person
In the end, he took it from her and tied the knot for her with his own hands.

Just because he saw her immature handwriting on the little note: "Because of you, I will become an excellent person."

Part1
No one knew that that man named Mu Liunian had always been a little secret that he secretly missed in his heart.

I can't remember when I met him. I only heard that he grew up abroad, so every time he called her name, he rolled his tongue slightly, but it sounded surprisingly pleasant to his ears.

He was brought back to China when he was five years old, and then he lived in this small town on the outskirts of City B.

The town was relatively backward at that time, and anyone who had ever been to the capital was considered a bully, not to mention someone who had immigrated from abroad, so the Mu family had always been regarded as the object of worship by those in the town who wanted to go abroad.

And she seemed to have seen him before she was born.

Her mother told her that when she first learned to speak, the first title she called was neither "Dad" nor "Mom", but: "Mu, Mu..."

What do you admire?She thought later, she must have wanted to be called Mu Liunian, right?
She likes Mu Liunian, his name, his facial features, as long as it belongs to him, she likes everything.

When I was a child, I felt the happiest thing at the beginning and end was when both parents went on business trips, because often at this time, she would be entrusted to others for "adoption" for a few days, and it was always at this time that she would boldly ask: "I want Go sleep at Brother Fleeting Nian's house!"

She likes to see Mu Liunian when he sleeps, he is used to turning his body sideways, his long eyelashes hang obediently on his closed eyes, his nose is high, his thin lips are pursed into a line, the moonlight pours down on him With a handsome face, it looks like the beautiful boy in the manga she often reads.

Chumo secretly draws his appearance with his hands, hoping that he can remember it deeply in his heart, and then draw him down one day.

Everyone else called her Chu Mo, or Mo Mo, but he called her Mo Bao.Chumo thinks this title is really nice, because she thinks she is the treasure in his heart.

In the early morning, when she was sleeping soundly in the small bed, he would wake up first, stand neatly beside her, and call her softly: "Mo Bao, it's time to wake up."

The tip of her nose was the faint scent of lemon on his body. She opened her eyes in a daze, and met his clean and warm eyes.

Slightly stunned.

The little Fanghua secretly felt her heart rippling and her emotions surging because of that look.

Every day, Chu and Mo go to school after Mu Liunian. There are jealous female students in the class who often say: "Yang Chumo is just a little dog with a tail, always following behind Mu Liunian."

Chumo doesn't care what others say about her, she just likes to follow Mu Liunian, who made them neighbors?Who made him her fleeting brother?The dog's tail grass is just the dog's tail grass, and she doesn't mind being Mu Liunian's dog's tail grass at all.

Mu Liunian is three years older than Chumo. When she was in the second year of junior high, Liunian was already in the first year of high school.Every Friday, the junior high school always ends earlier than the high school, but at the beginning and end of the year, he will stand obediently in the corridor and wait for him. During half a class, there are naughty boys in senior grades who will come to him during self-study. Jokingly shouted: "Squad leader Mu, your little follower is here to wait for you again."

When Mu Liunian looked out the window, he saw Chu Mo, who was wearing two braids and carrying a schoolbag, smiling foolishly in this direction.

At that time, he would always say to her: "Mo Bao, if you leave school early, you can go back first, and you don't have to wait for me."

She always bit her lip, bowed her head and said nothing.

The next Friday, and the next Friday, she was still standing in the corridor waiting for him as usual, the little girl actually had a lot of stubbornness.

Later, Mu Liunian would take her to the last seat in his class and let her do her homework obediently.

The big boys in the senior grades are very caring. Looking at this little sister with big watery eyes, they couldn't help but overflow with love, and took out all their beloved things to share with her.But at the beginning and end of the day, I really have no interest in those airplane models, gyroscopes and so on.

I still remember that later, a very beautiful sister handed her a few lollipops and said, "You are the younger sister of Fleeting Years, right? This is for you to eat."

Although those lollipops looked delicious, Chu Mo was very unhappy with the title "sister" in her mouth, her little eyebrows were wrinkled into a small earthworm, and she corrected loudly: "I am not Mu Liunian's." Sister, I will marry him in the future."

The girl was taken aback, and Mu Liunian, who had just returned from delivering the homework in the teacher's office, was also taken aback.

Then the whole class burst out laughing.

From then on, every time they appeared at the door of the senior teachers at the beginning and end of the year, the boys changed their tune and said, "Squad leader Mu Da, your little daughter-in-law is looking for you again!"

And that was also the first time that Chumo called him by his first and last name, and the blush crawled across his cheeks and penetrated the roots of his ears.

Part2
Because the two families lived very close to each other, every time after school, they would go home with Mu Liunian to do homework.Mu Liunian has been a role model for the children in the small town since he was a child. With his excellent character and learning, he is quite suitable to be used as a god to worship.However, there are so many children in this area, but he only tutors the beginning and end of their homework.

When Mu Liunian is interested, he will point to the ugly pictures in the biology book and say to Chumo: "Look, this is you, stupid and ugly." Ugly pictures that say, "Look, it's you!"

In fact, how can he be so ugly, he is simply the opposite of ugly, but who made him always call her stupid?
Chu Mo is actually a very smart little girl, but her mind is not on her studies, and mistakes in homework can often be avoided, but she is always careless.When I was working on a topic, I didn't know where my thoughts went...

There is a huge piano in the living room of Mu's house. She said, "Brother Fleeting Years, after I finish my homework, can you play "Fleeting Years" for me?"

Mu Liunian played the piano very well since elementary school.His piano teacher praised him more than once, even though he is a child, he can play tunes that even adults can't match.At the beginning and end of the year, she was most afraid of learning things, whether it was in class or as a spare time, but her parents said that she often went to Mu's house to be influenced by others, and her academic performance was always half-baked, so she could have a little artistic temperament no matter what.So occasionally, she would sit beside Mu Liunian and learn the piano.

Mu Liunian has never been a strict teacher in front of the junior and junior high school students, otherwise he would not be until now. His academic performance at the junior high school and final school is still hovering in the middle and upper reaches, and when he plays the piano, he often uses his little hands carelessly on the black and white keys when he is not paying attention. It's a joy to play randomly.However, only one hand "Liu Nian" played very well. It's not that Mu Liunian specially taught this piece, it's just that once when he was playing, she watched it very seriously.

Chumo knew that this piece was created by Mu Liunian, and she could not be serious about the others, but this one, she was practicing with heart and soul, from the first time she heard him play, she fell in love with this piece song.

In order to allow Chu and Mo to concentrate on studying, Mu Liunian often pays for rewards, and the reward that Chu and Mo likes is often his "Flowing Years".

Every summer vacation, Mu Liunian would be taken over by his grandparents who were far away abroad for a month or two. Whenever this time came, he would be missed very much from beginning to end.

After waiting at home for two full months, that day, when I heard that Mu Liunian would come back, I ran to the gate of Mu's house early in the morning to wait, and waited from sunrise to sunset, full of excitement from the beginning Later, with his little head drooping, he collapsed at the gate and fell asleep.

When Mu Liunian came back with his parents, what he saw was Chumo lying at the gate and sleeping soundly. She didn't know what happy things she dreamed of. She grinned a big smile and drooled. mouth, looking at the Mu family, dumbfounded.

Chumo's first fight with a boy was also because of Mu Liunian. The opponent was the fattest boy in the town, named Zhu Xiaopeng. He teased her for being shameless and always said that she wanted to be Mu Liunian's little wife. He also said, don't Seeing that Mu Liunian looks so good-looking now, people say that "the boy has eighteen changes", the more beautiful he was when he was young, the uglier he will be when he grows up.In fact, Zhu Xiaopeng secretly likes Chumo in his heart, but Chumo only has Mu Liunian in his heart.Children are always like this. If they don't get what they like, they will gain the upper hand if their mouth wins.

Chumo started fighting with others because of this sentence.She felt that it didn't matter what they said about her, but she didn't allow them to say anything bad about her fleeting brother.

It's just that she, a little girl, can't beat boys, so if she can't beat her, she bites. Zhu Xiaopeng is bitten by Chumo, screaming, regretting so much that his intestines are green, and roaring in his heart: I don't want to like Yang Chumo again. I don't like you anymore, you little dog!

Part3
That day, Chu Mo was brought home by Mu Liunian. She pulled Mu Liunian's clothes pitifully and said, "Brother Liunian, can I sleep with you at night, or if I go home, my parents will definitely beat me up." mine."

Mu Liunian looked at the bruise on her arm, without any sympathy on his face: "No."

She flattened the corners of her mouth, her eyes were watery, but she didn't say anything more.

After helping her with the medicine and seeing that her teeth were no longer bleeding, Mu Liunian left her alone in the living room and walked into the study.

He was angry, like the kind of anger that the child he raised had turned bad.Chu Mo was the one he watched growing up. He didn't like to interact with others very much since he was a child. He just heard that the aunt next door gave birth to a baby and would call him by his name as soon as he was born, so he added a little curiosity.

When I saw her for the first time, she sucked a pacifier in her mother's swaddle, looked at him with big round eyes, and when she saw him coming, she stretched out two short, fat little hands to be hugged by him. .

Immediately, all the adults present were stunned.

When he hugged her small body, he just thought how could there be such a small and soft body in the world?In an instant, a strong desire to protect was aroused in his heart, and from then on, the only amateur happiness around him was to stay with this girl.

Chu Mo has been very obedient since she was a child. Sometimes when her parents are not at home, she will be sent to his house to let his parents take care of her.Xiao Chumo is easy to raise, she doesn't cry like other children at all, as long as she is fed on time, she will fall asleep soundly.

Later, Chumo completely regarded him as her own brother, and thought of him in everything she did.There is an old peach tree in the yard, which will grow sweet peaches before autumn. Every time she climbs up the tree, she picks a lot of fruits and gives them to him to eat.

As a result of the deep brotherhood, she fell from the tree, dislocating her right arm, and wrapped it in white gauze for a long time. Looking at his distressed eyes, she smiled and said like a normal person: "In this way, I can live together for a long time. No homework."

He likes to see her smile, the sunflower looks up at the sun as bright as a sunflower.So, in his heart, she has always been obedient, how can she fight?
An hour later, Mu Liunian walked out of the study room, the lights were still on outside, and his parents hadn't come home, so he saw the little figure curled up on the sofa at a glance.

He walked up to her and knelt down beside her, looking at the red scars on her fair little arms with some distress. Although he had applied ointment, it could be seen that the injuries were serious.Liu Nian sighed, finally picked her up gently, turned around and returned to the room.

He gently put her on the bed and covered her with the quilt, only to find that she had opened her eyes, which were sober and bright, and he asked, "Why didn't you fall asleep?"

She flattened her mouth and said, "Toothache."

"It deserves it." Where did the ruthlessness go when he bit someone?Do you know you have a toothache now?Mu Liunian glared at her grumpily.

Chumo's mouth became even more ruthless.

Mu Liunian: "..."

The unfeeling words were spoken, but he still couldn't bear to sit down beside her, and said, "Open your mouth, let me see what's wrong with your teeth."

She immediately opened her mouth obediently, and she could faintly see bloodshot eyes between her teeth.

Of course Mu Liunian wouldn't say it out loud, but just comforted him: "Sleep obediently, the pain won't hurt when you fall asleep."

"Can't sleep..." She blinked her eyes, and said, "You can hum "Fleeing Years" to me, maybe I will fall asleep soon."

Seeing her expectant little face looking up at him eagerly, no matter how angry Fleeting Nian was, it disappeared under the gaze of her innocent eyes.

So that night, Chu Mo fell asleep in his deep voice contentedly.

Part4
Later, Chu Mo and Zhu Xiaopeng reconciled. It was Zhu Xiaopeng who brought imported chocolates brought back by his father from a business trip to curry favor with Chu Mo, and Chu Mo reluctantly agreed.

Children don't always hold grudges, not to mention that at that time Zhu Xiaopeng felt that he liked Chumo and felt that it was a very honorable thing to be bitten by his beloved woman.

Chumo and Zhu Xiaopeng were lying on the railing of the school eating chocolate, and Chumo asked him: "Aren't you afraid that your stepmother will scold you when you bring so much food?"

Zhu Xiaopeng didn't know where he learned the swear words, and cursed: "Rely on his grandparents, if she dares to scold me, I will let my father divorce her!"

Zhu Xiaopeng's father is a rich man in a small town who owns a small supermarket, which is full of business every day.It's normal for a local rich man to have one or two concubines outside, but Zhu Xiaopeng's mother couldn't take it anymore, she insisted on divorcing his father.But because Zhu Xiaopeng's father got this son when he was old, he loved him very much. Although his stepmother didn't like it, she didn't dare to say anything.

Chu Mo educated him solemnly: "Wing, the teacher taught us that it is wrong to swear, who did you learn from!"

"Do you still have to talk to others when you swear? Then who did you learn to bite?"

"..."

"Don't you really believe it. Sometimes swearing can vent out the grievances in your heart, and your body and mind will be smooth. If you don't believe it, you can learn from me?"

"..." Chu Mo jumped down from the railing and said, "I don't want to learn from you, I'm going to find my fleeting brother."

After finishing speaking, she hopped and ran to the high school with her small schoolbag on her back. Today the teacher asked them to write an article about their future wishes, and she wanted to write it down in front of Brother Liu Nian.

Just as she was running happily, two girls suddenly appeared in front of her blocking her way. She looked over, and one of them was the pretty girl who gave her lollipops when she went to Mu Liunian's class very early. elder sister……

This is the first time, without waiting for Mu Liunian to come home, when she walked back alone with her head down, Zhu Xiaopeng was playing marbles with others at the junior high school, seeing her coming back alone, she was a little curious He ran to her side and asked, "Yang Chumo, where is your fleeting brother?"

Later, when they were sitting on the railing again, Zhu Xiaopeng said, "You mean Zhou Jingyi from the high school. She is our school's tweed. It is said that she is good-looking and good at homework. But..." He turned his head and looked at her again. The disappointed Chumo comforted: "In my heart, Yang Chumo is the most beautiful."

But Chu Mo shook his head: "Wing, don't comfort me, I don't think I can even compare to Zhou Jingyi's hair, she is so good. If Brother Liu Nian knows that she wrote a love letter to him, he will be very happy, right? "

"Damn! Yang Chumo, where did the ruthlessness when you bit me go? Now it's just someone asking you to send a love letter and you're belittling yourself like this? Do you know that I have had a wish since I was a child, Even if I open my own supermarkets on the streets of the town, I want my beloved woman to be the proprietress. My beloved woman is you. Although you only have Mu Liunian in your eyes, don’t insult my eyes like this, okay? good?"

Chu Mo was taken aback by his bold and ambitious confession, didn't know what to say, so he could only say in a low voice: "Can you please stop swearing..."

"No! Let me tell you, you have to give yourself confidence. Even when you don't have confidence, you have to tell yourself, Grandpa! I am the best in the world! Mu Liunian only likes me!"

It's really shameless, but Chu Mo couldn't help trying to imitate the phrase he said, "Grandpa, I'm the best in the world! Mu Liunian only likes me!"

From lowering the volume at the beginning, to later, Chumo was no longer afraid, and shouted loudly towards the empty playground: "Fuck! Your grandpa's! I will definitely become the best woman around Mu Liunian!"

Part5
At this moment, she vowed to become the "best woman" and was shrinking in the peach tree. Her tangled face was like a crumpled white paper. She held an envelope folded into a heart in her hand, hesitated, and said It's true that it was released, but it's impossible to become outstanding immediately. Before that, the tricky thing is whether she should hand over this letter to Mu Liunian?
Thinking like this, but heard a familiar voice from below: "Mo Bao?"

She was so startled that she almost fell off the peach tree, and she instinctively held onto the trunk to stabilize her body, but due to her excessive strength, a few ripe peaches fell down with a crackling crackling, and by the way, she also took the peaches in her hand with her. A hot potato letter.

She watched Mu Liunian reach out to pick up the letter, and cursed in her heart.It was the letter that she would rather drop than drop it, but looking back, even if she didn't drop it, she would still hand it over to Mu Liunian.

Thinking like this, she felt a movement around her, and when she turned around, she saw that Mu Liunian had climbed up and sat down beside her.

"Is it because you don't know how to get this letter to me that you haven't come home so late?"

Directly pointed out the contradiction in her heart, Chu Mo didn't know how to answer at all, and hung her head like a guilty conscience.

"Aren't you angry that you received it so late?"

"Why should I be angry?"

"The girl in your class is so beautiful, and she is also the school belle. I heard that many people like her."

"That doesn't mean I like her too."

Chu Mo looked up in surprise, and saw Fleeting Nian looking at her, his eyes were extremely gentle, she asked ignorantly: "But don't boys like excellent and beautiful girls? If you are as good as you, you must be very good, very good girls To be liked by you, isn't it?"

What is this?But Mu Liunian still followed her words.

"So now I haven't seen such... um... very good, very good girls."

Her eyes widened, and she couldn't believe it. Isn't Zhou Jingyi outstanding in his eyes?So what does it mean to be excellent?
Maybe even Chumo herself didn't know that she had a pair of beautiful eyes, like the stars in the early summer night, bright and aura.

Then, as if she had thought of something, she held her head up and said, "Then I will become very excellent in the future, and be liked by you."

The slender fingers lifted gracefully.

"Snapped--"

Chumo's head that was originally held high was easily flicked off by Mu Liunian's light tap on the forehead with a flick of a finger, and the momentum of courageous confession faltered instantly.What followed was Mu Liunian's indifferent voice: "Little girl, don't talk big."

"Who is talking big!" She said solemnly, "Today the teacher asked us to write down our future wishes. Wing's wish is to open two small supermarkets at the head and tail of the village. My wish is to strive to become a very good woman and marry Mu Liunian!"

This was the second time she had said that she would marry him, but Mu Liunian still smiled and said nothing.

Early the next morning, when Mu Liunian went out, he didn't see Chu Mo who had always come to find him early to go to school with him. When he opened the door and went out, he saw her lying on tiptoe on the peach tree, looking very dangerous.

He hurried over and called her from below: "Mo Bao, what are you doing?"

Hearing the voice, she turned her head and said, "Brother Liu Nian, you are taller than me, so help me."

When Mu Liunian climbed up, she realized that she wanted to tie a kit with their names on it to a branch with a red thread.

"what is this?"

"My goal."

She smiled and took out the small note from the kit, and said in a very cheerful voice: "I have to tie it high so that it will not be easily knocked off. When I do it, I will make a wish."

What she said was so natural, as if from this moment on, he became the direction of her efforts.

It was obviously a very childish behavior, but this time Mu Liunian did not stop him. He watched her tiptoeing hard to tie the knot, her face was flushed from too much effort, and she couldn't tie it well after trying several times.

In the end, he took it from her and tied the knot for her with his own hands.

Just because he saw her immature handwriting on the little note: "Because of you, I will become an excellent person."
