C10 Piano and Dinner
Sitting in the quiet dining room, Chopin piano music played in Su Chen's ears. Compared to Chopin, Su Chen was much more fond of Mozart.
Chopin was focused on the piano, and Mozart's writing was involved in almost all areas of "music." Both were geniuses, and Su Chen preferred Mozart for the simple reason that Mozart's music had once saved his life in a sham assassination mission.
The concrete matter was too long ago, Su Chen was too lazy to think about the past.
Of course, no one could tell the difference between art, especially the masters, Chopin being a romantic, and Mozart being one of the three great figures of classical Viennese music.
The two of them were not in the same space and time, so there was no way to compare them.
Su Chen only liked Mozart a little more.
The dishes were already ordered. As a bodyguard, Su Chen had no say and could only follow the hoodlums and drink.
The three of them were in a good mood. The two girls chatted about boring topics, gossip, or Tang Yixin forcing Lin Qingwan to chat with them. However, Su Chen could tell that this was normal.
At this moment, a familiar voice sounded beside Su Chen's ear:
"Classmate Little Tang, what a coincidence!"
He didn't need to look to know that the voice belonged to Liu Tinetine, so Su Chen didn't bother to raise his head.
Tang Yixin felt a bit disheartened as she muttered, "That's right. Senior Sister, you're also in this restaurant."
"Heh, Student Little Tang, you guys aren't coming to the same restaurant as us from the underground parking lot, are you?" Liu Tinetine's face had a smile on it. She always liked to smile, a smile that made people hate her.
Tang Yixin looked at her doubtfully. "Why do we have to follow you?"
"Heh, Student Little Tang, I know that your family situation might not be as good as mine … "Okay, but you're still young, so it's hard for you to not be competitive."
"Do you want to fight me? Sigh, this is too childish. This restaurant is expensive, I'm afraid you guys can't afford it. Since you're already here, I'll lend you my senior sister's membership card. I can give you a 10% discount. "
Tang Yixin didn't know how to refute Liu Tinetine's self-righteous words.
Since Tang Yixin had nothing to say, of course Lin Qingwan wouldn't say anything.
Seeing that she had nothing to say, Liu Tinetine immediately smiled complacently. "It's fine. If you don't have enough money in a while, you can borrow some money from Senior Sister."
"Jiang Tao, come here."
Liu Tinetine's boyfriend walked over from the nearby table, smiled at the three of them, then looked at Liu Tinetine and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Don't you know how to play the piano in this restaurant? They said that as long as they could win the approval of the customers at the five tables, they would be free of charge. Liu Tinetine stared at Tang Yixin and Su Chen as she said this.
That gaze seemed to be saying, "Heh, even you dog legs dare to compete with this old lady? You don't even look in the mirror. How can upper-class people like you who only know how to spend money?"
Jiang Tao understood the meaning behind his words and nodded his head. Then, he said a few words to the waiter beside him. Then, he walked proudly to the piano in the middle of the restaurant and sat down.
After a moment, Jiang Tao placed his hands on the keyboard, looking quite decent.
Very soon, a Chopin serenade was played out. Liu Tinetine smiled at Jiang Tao, who was playing the zither in the middle, and said, "If he succeeds in a while, I'll let you guys alone. After all, we are classmates."
"No need." Tang Yixin said indifferently.
Su Chen shook his head without saying a word. As the carrier of Chopin solo, nocturnal melody was full of characteristics. It was light and gentle, quiet and serene, with a hint of contemplation in it.
However, Su Chen did not dare to compliment the narration song that Jiang Tao played. He swore that it was the worst music he had ever heard and it was worse than killing Matt to wash his hands and play his scissors.
Seeing them act this way, Liu Tinetine thought they were guilty, so she immediately said, "Actually, I have been learning piano playing since young. Jiang Tao learned piano when he was young and has never missed out on this Little Tang student's … "Bodyguard, what do you think of Jiang Tao's playing?"
Su Chen acted like he didn't hear anything as he saw her asking him for trouble. Liu Tinetine was surprised and continued to chase him, "It can't be. Don't tell me you don't understand the piano?"
Su Chen pouted and said lightly, "Playing the zither randomly, I have a bad evaluation of you."
Liu Tinetine was stunned. She looked at Su Chen for a long time and then mocked, "Jiang Tao's piano is not that good, but this is the first time I've heard someone say that he's bad at playing. How did you hear that?"
"Of course I can hear it with my ears."
"You can play?"
"Who told you you can play anything you want?" Su Chen felt that the woman in front of him was extremely bored, so he turned around to read the magazine after saying that.
"Heh, so you're just talking about military affairs on paper. Actually, sometimes, you can be a bit more outspoken and open, but instead, you can make people think highly of you."
Liu Tinetine shook her head disdainfully as she spoke, preparing to leave.
"Who said we can't play the piano? Then I can." Tang Yixin said as she glared at him.
Liu Tinetine originally thought that they wouldn't retort, but after hearing her say so, she decided to go along with it. "Heh, Student Little Tang, you also know how to do it?"
"Isn't it just playing the piano? How amazing! Hmph, I'll play it for you to see in a while." Tang Yixin's tone was a bit indignant. She didn't have Su Chen's calmness.
On the other hand, when Lin Qingwan heard this, she frowned and said, "Xin, don't mess around. We're here to eat."
"Elder sister, you knew that I would … …"
Lin Qingwan glared at her. "I already said that we're here to eat."
"Oh, but she."
Lin Qingwan looked up at Liu Tinetine and smiled, "I'm sorry, but my sister is still young and doesn't understand. If you have nothing else to do, then …" Please go back to your seat. We need some peace and quiet, thank you. "
Liu Tinetine could no longer hold it in as she slanted her nose towards the sky and gave a "tsk". Her expression was extremely harsh.
"If you want to play, it's not like you want to play, it's not like that for Su Chen." Seeing that Tang Yixin was about to go on a rampage, Lin Qingwan hurriedly pulled her back and shook her head.
Liu Tinetine had already left. As she walked, she was flirting about, causing people to feel a sense of disgust.
Lolita slammed the table, stared at Su Chen and said, "Su Chen, you bastard."
Su Chen was stunned. He looked up at the two girls in ignorance and said, "It's all my fault?"
"Of course it's your fault. Who told you to offend that damn bastard? My good mood has been completely ruined." Tang Yixin's small face was tense. It was the first time Su Chen had seen her so angry.
"How could I offend her?" Su Chen asked as he looked at the two girls innocently.
"Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. That Jiang Tao, although he doesn't play very well, he has at least seven or eight years of piano background. If you speak carelessly, that eighth grandma will definitely not let you off. I'm so angry, I'm going to explode. " Tang Yixin said to Su Chen in a frenzy.
Su Chen smiled bitterly and shrugged: "I'm just speaking the truth, he does play very badly …"
"You're still saying that you only know how to boast. If you have the ability, you should go up and play as well." Tang Yixin pouted viciously.
Su Chen shrugged, "I'm here to be a bodyguard. I won't do this kind of menial work."
"Hmph. Shameless, despicable, shameless."
"Su Chen, don't tell me you've never heard music before, right? Heavens! How have you been without music for more than twenty years? "
Tang Yixin suddenly started to provoke Su Chen when she thought of the accident that Su Chen brought to her during the race.
Su Chen shrugged and smiled, "Life without music is actually quite wonderful."
Saying that, Su Chen couldn't help but think in his heart: If one day, no matter if it's eating, sleeping, or even shooting a gun, when killing someone, the so-called 'music' is like an annoying fly filling up all the time. After experiencing all these, you will actually find that a life without music is indeed very good.
After Su Chen experienced all of this, not only did he need to kill more people on the island, the more people he killed, the greater his chances of survival would be.
Moreover, tasting fragrance, tea, wine, movies, music, and other topics that Western high society was interested in discussing had become compulsory courses for these rookies.
Su Chen had disguised himself as a pianist and killed his target at close range more than once.
No one would have thought that an outstanding pianist would be a killer, right? At the moment of playing the zither, he locked onto, pulled out his gun, pulled the trigger, killed, and escaped. Su Chen had done this more than once.
After his debut, every time he played the piano, there would be people dying under his hands. The music definitely didn't bring happiness to Su Chen.
"Disappointed, hmph, I don't have a bodyguard like you." Tang Yixin seemed to be in a pout when she said this.
Maybe it was the first time Su Chen felt that other than the Black Sect members there were other people who were cute to him, or maybe it was just that Su Chen wanted to use a piano as a memorial service to the past.
He looked at Tang Yixin coolly. "If you beg me, it's not impossible for me not to help you vent your anger. After all, I'm your bodyguard."
"Huh?"
"You … "Can you do it?" Tang Yixin didn't expect Su Chen to agree so straightforwardly. On the contrary, she was shocked.
Su Chen shrugged his shoulders, "Whether I can or not, we'll see once you agree to my request."
"Hmph, I won't beg you. It's impossible in this lifetime. " The loli was always so arrogant and spoiled. She only glanced over her head and did not look at Su Chen. In the end, she could not help but peek at him.
Seeing her like that, Su Chen sat there without moving, as if he was waiting for the arrival of dinner.
Seeing his expression, Tang Yixin said with a threatening tone: "Su Chen, I'm your employer. When that Jiang Tao comes down later, you should go up and play the zither, otherwise …" I will, I will deduct your salary. "
Hearing that, Su Chen smiled and didn't mind. He looked at Tang Yixin and Lin Qingwan calmly and said, "It's fine if you want me to help you vent your anger, but first, you have to agree to a condition of mine."
Perhaps Tang Wanyi had taught Tang Yixin related education since she was young, or perhaps it was purely genetic, or perhaps it was self-taught. Tang Yixin seemed to be well-versed in negotiation skills and said with a straight face, "You don't have the qualifications to negotiate with me."
"You still haven't listened to my conditions." Su Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Tang Yixin snorted, "I don't care. Anyway, I just won't agree. Besides, you have to go up and play today."
Su Chen stared, "I won't do it."
"How dare you disobey me? I told my dad to fire you and deduct your salary. " Tang Yixin said viciously.
Su Chen crossed his legs and leaned against the cushion of the chair. He said calmly, "Whatever."
