Chapter 3 Belated Love 3. Midnight Piano
Yunyun took off her red cheongsam and changed her clothes. She removed her makeup and ate the packed meal with Wu Yu. The sky gradually darkened. Yunyun asked Wu Yu about what happened today. Wu Yu told her about the strange things he saw today. Of course, he couldn't tell her that he was attracted to the girl in the red cheongsam. Since he met Yunyun and fell in love with her two years ago, he always felt that Yunyun had a shadow of love in her heart. She loved Wu Yu very much and was afraid that the handsome Wu Yu would be snatched away by other women. After listening to Wu Yu's narration, Yunyun's face changed color, but Wu Yu didn't notice it.
It was still a long time before bedtime after dinner, and they felt bored. Yunyun lit the lamp and took out the painting supplies. She said to Wu Yu, "Yu, can you guess what the woman with her back to us looks like in this painting of a waiting woman?"
Wu Yu carefully examined the painting of the maids and said, "The women who can be painted must be beautiful. Just from the back, we can see that the two maids have graceful figures. As for their looks, Yunyun can draw them based on her imagination."
"Then I'll give it a try." Yunyun said as she held up the lamp and looked at the two women's figures carefully, imagining their faces at the same time. She saw that the other women in the picture seemed to be looking at these two women. It was obvious that these two women were either prettier than them or of higher status than them. After looking for a long time, she began to sit in front of her painting tools in a trance.
Wu Yu had been running all day, so he sat on the bed and looked at Yunyun's beautiful back. He gradually became sleepy. In his dream, the figure that looked like Su Wei's back and the girl in the red cheongsam kept appearing...
In the silence, Wu Yu vaguely heard a beautiful sound, which made him feel as if he was in a dark forest. The bright moonlight was shining above the forest. He walked in the forest and heard the sound . He was surprised and suddenly saw a woman in a white dress vaguely appearing in front of him. He wanted to see the woman's face clearly. Suddenly, the woman floated towards him quickly. He saw the woman's face clearly in an instant and was so scared that he almost screamed...
Wu Yu opened his eyes and realized it was just a dream. He looked in the room and saw that the lights were off. Yunyun was snoring beside him. Wu Yu wanted to continue sleeping, but suddenly, he heard a clear sound coming from somewhere. He thought it was a dream, so he pinched his face and found it hurt, so he was surprised. He listened carefully to the sound and it seemed to be the sound of a piano. He was even more surprised. Where did this sound come from?
He got out of bed with doubt, fumbled to turn on the light, and then slightly opened the door. At this time, the sound of the piano seemed to be clearer. He heard that the sound of the piano came from the backyard. He thought that there was no one in the backyard, so how could the sound of the piano be heard? He walked towards the backyard in a panic. As he walked towards the sound of the piano, the sound became clearer and more beautiful, like the sound of flowing water in the mountains.
There were many rooms in the dark backyard, but Wu Yu could still tell that the piano music came from that room. He walked to the door of that room trembling, but the piano music stopped abruptly. Wu Yu pushed hard and the door opened with a crisp sound. Wu Yu felt his heart pounding at this moment, and he felt that he was as timid as Yunyun at this moment. Wu Yu walked in and found ghosts floating in the room in the dim light. Wu Yu walked slowly and tremblingly for a few steps. Suddenly, he saw a person standing in front of him, with cold eyes. He stepped back a few times in shock and almost fell down. He felt a hand on his shoulder from behind, and instantly he felt a chill running through his body. He turned his head timidly and saw a piece of white cloth. He suddenly pulled the cloth aside with force. It turned out to be a statue covered by the cloth, and his tense nerves relaxed. He turned back to take a photo of the ghost and found that it was an oil painting of an old woman. Wu Yu felt that the painting looked familiar, but he couldn't remember why. Wu Yu took a photo of the room again and found that it was full of statues covered with white cloth. He suspected that someone was hiding in the room, so he uncovered every piece of white cloth, but found nothing, not even the piano. At this time, he seemed to hear a slight sound from the door. He hurried over and saw that the door seemed to move and someone went out, so he ran out of the door in panic, but it was quiet , not even a ghost.
Wu Yu stood there for a while, and felt that what happened today seemed even more bizarre. He vaguely felt that someone was indeed playing the piano, but how could he not see anyone? He did not even see the piano. He suddenly remembered the legend of the old house: every time he heard a lingering piano sound from the old house, he never knew who was playing the piano. Was it the legendary Miss Xinluo, or was it human? What was going on? Wu Yu walked back to the room in the front yard with doubts.
