Chapter 54

I’ll play this song

…

Su Zening: …

However, what you are holding is not Zhi-zhi at all, ah.

The black cat Zhi-zhi in the picture was plump and well. Its green eyes were round, and its head was innocently tilted, which looked cute and innocent. While the black cat in his arms obviously has a sharper chin and lighter green eyes, with a wild and untamed face.

Although they both have the same color, they are clearly two different cats, ah.

Su Zening said: “Do you know the one in your arms is not Zhi-zhi at all, ah.”

Nie Changmo was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and said seriously: “Although black cats are more difficult to distinguish, I will not recognize it wrong. Zhi-zhi was raised by me since I was a child. Look at the missing piece on Zhi-zhi’s paw here. It got lost before, and I used this to get Zhi-zhi back.”

After he finished speaking, he lowered his head and coaxed the black cat, then picked up its paw and showed it to Su Zening: “Look, it’s here.” The black cat, whose paw was forcibly pulled, was very reluctant, but it still didn’t stretch out its claws to scratch Nie Changmo, it just growl a few times impatiently.

Nie Changmo hurriedly comforted it: “Zhi-zhi, when we go back, I’ll open a can for you.”

But Nie Changmo didn’t know what the arrogant black cat in his arms was saying: “Stinky human, I don’t know anything. Can? Who cares about your canned food.”

The staff has brought the cans over.

Su Zening’s eyes fell on the black cat.

Its green cat pupils and Su Zening’s blue eyes looked at each other.

The black cat was held tightly by Nie Changmo and gave up its struggle. It lay on Nie Changmo’s body and plunged its head into the can, then it said bitterly: “I’m going to eat all your cans! I’ll eat you poor!”

Su Zening: …

Su Zening solemnly took out his mobile phone and flipped through it, then he found a few pictures of black cats in the cat group, and said to Nie Changmo: “Look at these cats.”

Nie Changmo looked uncertain, then raised his head with a puzzled face, and looked at Su Zening and said: “It looks like Zhi-zhi.”

Su Zening sighed.

The point is that these photos are not his cat at all, ah!

Sure enough, Nie Changmo couldn’t tell the difference between black cats at all.

…

Outside the resort.

Su Zening pulled Nie Changmo to the door, where he first saw the silly black cat.

The black cat didn’t know where to go.

Nie Changmo firmly stopped and said: “It’s really Zhi-zhi in my arms, I won’t recognize the wrong cat.”

Su Zening did not explain, and called out tentatively to the surrounding: “Zhi-zhi?”

The bushes not far away moved.

A black dumpling emerged from the bushes, looking in this direction. Then with a belly full of grievance, it rushed towards Nie Changmo, calling out meow meow meow. Then it saw Nie Changmo holding a black cat in his arms. Zhi-zhi stopped a few steps away, and its green eyes looked at Nie Changmo holding another black cat in disbelief, and the entire fur on its body exploded.

Nie Changmo looked at the cat in his arms, and then at the black cat on the soles of his feet, his eyes widened, and he said blankly: “There are two Zhi-zhi.”

The black cat in Nie Changmo’s arms jumped out of his arms, meowing at Nie Changmo with contempt, ready to run away. It ran a few steps, and then turned back and snatched the unfinished canned cat food from Nie Changmo’s hand.

Seeing the canned food being robbed, the silly black cat Zhi-zhi rushed in front of the black cat, meowing angrily.

But the black cat swaggered in front of Zhi-zhi. Although it was the same size as Zhi-zhi, it has strong muscles, wild and hard to tame, and it looks very difficult to mess with at first glance. Its green eyes looked down at Zhi-zhi from top to bottom. With one paw stepping on the cat, as it looked up and down at Zhi-zhi, then arrogantly meow with malicious intent, and it didn’t care about Zhi-zhi at all.

Zhi-zhi’s voice became smaller and smaller, and it moved its round eyes uncomfortably, then curled its tail cowardly and walked to the side.

The black cat lifted its tail proudly, then held the can in its mouth, and raised its chest up in front of the two people and a cat and went away.

Pa mbwqifafis lucbgfv atfw.

Ve Ifclcu: …

He hasn’t seen such an arrogant cat in front of him for a long time. He really wants to teach it how to be a cat, ah.

Dea cbk tf’r tewjc!

So angry, oh!

Suppressing the faint restlessness in his heart, Su Zening hugged Zhi-zhi and said to Nei Changmo: “This is your Zhi-zhi, ah.” Probably, since the last time Zhi-zhi ran away, what he found was the fake Zhi-zhi, so the fake Zhi-zhi has been desperately trying to run outside, and the true Zhi-zhi, who was wandering nearby, was locked out. The true Zhi-zhi doesn’t seem to be that smart, so there’s no way it has the ability to run back to Nie Changmo by itself.

Su Zening hurried up to pull Zhizhi down.

On the contrary, although Nie Changmo looked pale, he helplessly hugged Zhi-zhi: “Behave, Zhi-zhi, you are brother’s only treasure. It’s because your brother is not good. Don’t be angry, I’ll open a can for you when I go back. It’s your favorite flavor.”

After stomping furiously, Zhi-zhi, who finally let out its anger, was panting with range and said: “Meow meow?”

Do you think a can can placate me?

Su Zening also felt that this was inappropriate.

If it was Fu Xiao, who recognized himself wrongly, a cold light flashed in Su Zening’s blue eyes——

Hmph!

Who knew Zhi-zhi exasperatedly put forward its own demand: “Meow!”

Su Zening listened, knowing what it said——

At least two cans are needed! Beef flavored!

Su Zening: …

Certainly not very smart.

Su Zening was heartbroken. In this situation, he had to eat canned food and small dried fish for at least a month!

Nie Changmo felt distressed and knew: “Xiao Ning, how do you know that the cat at home is not my Zhi-zhi, but Zhi-zhi at the door, ah?”

Su Zening couldn’t help complaining in his heart, Zhi-zhi is a completely different cat from that black cat, ah. He can see it at glance, the difference is so big, its like between a cute little boy and a grumpy big brother among humans, and he couldn’t say that he understood cat language, so Su Zening hesitated and said: “When I came in, I saw other people chasing away Zhi-zhi. I noticed it at that time, and then when I looked at the Zhi-zhi in the picture, I recognized it.”

Zhi-zhi was dirty, but Nie Changmo didn’t care. He hugged Zhi-zhi in his arms, and let the gray Zhi-zhi rub against him. He then thank Su Zening gratefully: “Thank you.” After speaking, he sighed, then coughed, and said intermittently: “Cough cough, I don’t know how much suffering it had outside. Cough, cough, it must have been mad at me.”

Su Zening mourned and sighed in anger, and said: “You can open two beef-flavored cans for it. It will definitely not get angry again.”

Nie Changmo: ???

Looking at the time, Su Zening coughed lightly: “I’m going to the banquet hall.” After all, it’s almost time, he ran out for so long, what if Fu Xiao deducts his salary.

Nie Changmo nodded and said: “I’ll send someone to take Zhi-zhi to see a doctor first, and I’ll find you in the banquet hall later.”

Su Zening asked in wonder: “Are you going too?” After all, Nie Changmo’s body doesn’t seem very good, and it’s not suitable for him to go to places with many people. The two of them didn’t walk much along the way, Nie Changmo’s face was already pale. His breathing was heavy as if there was a bellows in his chest. Based on Su Zening’s experience, although Nie Changmo had been discharged from the hospital, his health was definitely not very good. This is the right time to rest and recuperate.

“Just go for a while, it’s alright.” Nie Changmo’s lips were bloodless, he looked at the banquet hall with a slight smile and said: “And today is my brother’s birthday. I wrote a song for my brother, and I specially found someone to come and sing it.”

“I hope to see my brother hearing that song with my own eyes, after all——” The teenager solemnly said: “To say no, this might be my last gift to my brother.”

No one would joke about the possibility of their own death, ah.

However, when the teenager spoke out about life and death in such a bright and open-minded manner, Su Zening couldn’t say anything to comfort him.

He was only surprised: “You can write songs?” Songwriting is not easy, from composing lyrics to music theory, harmony, and orchestration are indispensable.

Nie Changmo smiled shyly and said: “Just a little bit.”

After the two separated, Su Zening came to the banquet hall alone.

And there was no Fu Xiao in the banquet hall.

Su Zening hid in a remote corner, then grabbed a piece of chocolate cake, and devoured it earnestly and devoutly.

One of the benefits of being a human is that no one can control what he can and cannot eat.

There was a classical piano in the corner where Su Zening was staying. The whole body of the piano was dark and shimmering with a low-key and expensive luster. The black and white keys are exquisite in workmanship, and the price is not cheap at first glance.

At this time, next to the piano, a young man wearing a vest and a bow tie, with a proud expression, he played with his ten fingers on the piano. A series of complex melodies flowed out between the fingers of the man. The beautiful timbre of the expensive piano coupled with the gorgeous melody has attracted many people’s amazement.

Su Zening ate the chocolate cake and listened, and couldn’t help raising his eyebrows. He played well, ah.

However, compared with my Dad’s students, it is still a little worse.

How to say it, according to his dad’s evaluation, showing off like this is an achievement, but could also be regarded as defeat.

Su Zening always remembers that his Dad once said that music is the carrier of feelings, and skills are used to express feelings. And the young man in front of him made a mistake.

But the sound of this piano is excellent and has a sensitive tone, not even his Dad’s precious piano can compare.

Su Zening guessed that it may be a top piano with a price of one million or even ten million. To be able to get such a piano, the Nie family really has a lot of money.

After the arrogant and mean-looking man finished playing the song, his eyes showed ecstasy, and he was obviously satisfied with the accent tone of the piano. Then a staff member around said anxiously: “Teacher Fang, do you want to read the song the young master asked you to play and sing.”

The man called Teacher Fang showed distained in his eyes, and when he looked at the top-level piano in front of him was like looking at a dusty treasure, and he couldn’t help but say: “A piano of this level can actually be use to play this kind of tune, such a waste of money, heh.” The irony in the voice was obvious.

The corners of the staff’s mouth couldn’t help twitching. He originally wanted to find a band, but the young master wanted to use the special piano given to him by the eldest young master to play, so he went to the Conservatory of Music to find someone.

He knew that teacher Fang was very powerful and well-known, but he contacted the people from the Conservatory of Music and said clearly that he wanted to find a student with good singing and piano skills, who could help the young master play and sing his work. Who would have thought that the young master’s piano was a legendary piano that the eldest young master had bought back from an overseas auction with a huge sum of money. So he ran over with his own companion condescendingly, and accepted this matter as if he was reluctant.

But he wondered, no one forced this Teacher Fang to come here, right ah? He should never have been blinded by the string of trophies that this Teacher Fang had won before, and invited such a big buddha.

When this Teacher Fang came, he didn’t even bring the music sheet he sent. He just let them take a copy of the song on the spot and read it a few times, but he didn’t care and played his own music here.

The staff member can’t get the bottom of this in his heart. Has this Teacher Fang practiced in advance? It won’t be a big problem by then, right?

The staff thought of this and said patiently: “Teacher Fang, why don’t you take a look at the song?”

Teacher Fang looked at the piece with contempt, and said with a little patience: “I can play this kind of pop music by just looking at it. Are you doubting me?” He wouldn’t have come here if he hadn’t been attracted by this piano, which cannot be found in the whole country.

Su Zening frowned.

Is this Teacher Fang the one invited by Nie Changmo?

He doesn’t seem very good, ah.

The staff member smiled and said: “How can you say that?” If it weren’t for the time, he would have to change someone immediately. This uncle is really good. He doesn’t know how high the sky is. He knew in his heart that if anyone made the young master unhappy, the eldest young master would not hesitate to make that person’s whole family unhappy.

He didn’t want to be in trouble, so he could only grit his teeth and let him serve this Uncle Fang happily, and have to explain it later today.

Teacher Fang casually said a few words to send the staff away.

Su Zening frowned and took a few steps closer with the cake.

While playing the piano, Teacher Fang was amazed by the excellent tone and expressiveness of this piano and couldn’t help but whisper something arrogantly to a companion beside him.

His companion couldn’t help but lament: “The Nie family is really rich. This kind of fine piano was bought and put here like this. This indulgence cannot meet a master worthy of it. What a sin.” They all know that a rich man like the young master of the Nie family is just playing around with the piano and music. And people like them who really like it can’t afford it.

What Teacher Fang hates the most is this kind of rich man who buys a piano, but just puts it on the shelf, just to show his noble sense of taste. The more he loves this piano, the more he hates the Nie Family: “He has money to spend, but no life to use it.”

This is a bit too much.

His companion hurriedly looked around, seeing that no one noticed, he breathed a sigh of relief and blamed: “You really, how can you say such a thing.”

Teacher Fang, who was used to being arrogant, raised an eyebrow, and said: “Did I say something wrong, it’s just the truth.” The young master of the Nie family was originally a short-lived ghost.

Knowing his mean and arrogant character, his companion said helplessly: “Forget it, let’s start practicing that piece, we never cooperated before.” They have been busy with a competition recently, so they never seriously practice.

Teacher Fang said casually: “Isn’t this kind of pop music improvisation accompaniment just a matter of looking at it a few times? How come you don’t have confidence?”

His companion also laughed: “I’m not.”

The two began to work together. After the song was over, their companions breathed a sigh of relief. Although Old Fang’s personality was a little worse, his business ability is still okay. After reading it a few times, there was no problem with the cooperation between the two, and the two threw the score aside.

Just when they were relieved.

At the side, while eating a chocolate cake, the teenager said: “Are you just going to practice a few times?”

Teacher Fang frowned and looked over. When he saw that it was a teenager with a chocolate cake residue on the corner of his mouth, he sneered angrily: “What do you know?”

Su Zening wrapped up the remaining chocolate cake in one bite and sneered.

He didn’t want to say anything, but what did they just say?

He has money to spend, but no life to use it? His ears were so good, they thought no one was listening, but he could hear clearly.

What qualifications do they have to say this? They are not this piano, who gave the face and let them feel wronged for this piano. Moreover, Su Zening knew that the more expensive the piano, the more careful maintenance is required.

This piano sounds so good and clearly has been well maintained.

And they both didn’t play with their hearts at all.

They played the piano well and sang well, but the cooperation between the two was basically zero, and it could only be said that they were barely getting along, but this was a gift prepared by Momo for his brother, ah.

Thinking of Nie Changmo’s indifferent sentence, “This might be my last gift to my brother.”

Su Zening was heartbroken and sad.

They take money to do things.

At least not to mention how their level is, their attitude should always be correct.

Su Zening patted the residue on his hands, then looked at the two of them and said: “Even if I don’t understand anything, I know you guys are playing like garbage.”

When did Teacher Fang suffered such a grievance, he stood up angrily and said: “What do you mean?”

His companion quickly grabbed him.

Su Zening didn’t dodge, he looked at Teacher Fang with his blue eyes and said: “It means exactly what you think it means.”

At this time, the movement here has attracted the attention of the staff.

The staff came over with the head of the staff and asked: “What’s wrong?”

Teacher Fang seemed to have seen the person, who made the decision and came over angrily, looked at Su Zening and said: “You came just in time, drive this troublemaker away, and don’t let him delay my performance in the performance area.”

The staff looked at Su Zening hesitantly. Since Su Zening can come to this banquet, his identity is not bad, how could he just drive the person away.

Teacher Fang saw his hesitation and sneered: “He won’t go, right? Good, then I’ll go, I’ll see who will play this song.”

The head of the staff said: “Don’t, Teacher Fang must have misunderstood, don’t be angry.”

He turned to look at Su Zening with some hesitation. Although Su Zening is a guest, he should not be an important person. He is familiar with important people. The crucial thing now is not to screw up the little young master.

He made up his mind, he will talk to this gentleman and ask him to sit on the other side of the banquet hall.

After all, where can he find someone else to play the song at this moment.

Unexpectedly, the teenager raised his head and sneered towards Teacher Fang: “Who said there is no one, at worst, I’ll just play and sing.”
