Chapter 18 Feelings
Chapter 18 Feelings
Lin Qi's room is at the end of the second floor. It is a large suite with indigo blue and white walls, warm log floors, gray beds, soft carpets, and the storage is particularly neatly designed. There is a large area of blue abstract oil painting, and there is a white ceiling chandelier beside the bed. Going further inside, there is a cloakroom and bathroom. The room has an independent balcony with a tall lemon tree and some small potted plants.
Although it is not as clean as a 17-year-old boy's room, there is a book randomly placed on the small table beside the bed, two peony flowers in a vase, a wide variety of vinyl records and CDs in the storage cabinet, and a book in the bathroom. The hanging towels were full of life. This is Lin Xi's usual living space. Jiang Qiujin walked around with Lin Xi, seeing so many things related to Lin Xi, he was very satisfied.
Jiang Qiujin walked to the cabinet, carefully read the words on the album cover, and asked, "Do you like collecting records?"
"Wang Xiao is a fan of vinyl records. I was influenced by him. I started collecting records a few years ago. I buy when I find something I like, not necessarily the collector's version. Wang Xiao likes to collect The Beatles 70 the most. Records from the 1981s." Lin Qi walked up to him, searched for a while and pulled out a record, "This is the album released by the ABBA band in [-], the Japanese version, I like its cover."
Jiang Qiu took it in his hand and looked at it. There were thin scratches on the dark red cover, which seemed to have a heavy sense of time.
"But after I bought it, I realized it wasn't the type I like." Lin Xi pulled out another record and said with a smile, "I often listen to this one."
After speaking, he sat on the carpet, carefully took out the record, lifted the dust cover of the phonograph on the low cabinet, put the record in skillfully, and started the needle.
Jiang Qiujin also sat down cross-legged, only then did he notice that there was a gramophone with a very simple style on the low cabinet. This phonograph was too low-key, completely different from the phonograph in his impression that was like a log cabinet with a big speaker.
In fact, Lin Qi really had an antique gramophone of that style, but it was in the old house, not here.
When the mottled and warm melody sounded, Jiang Qiujin raised his eyes to look at Lin Xi, only to find that Lin Xi was also looking at him tacitly, his beautiful eyes seemed to hide a vast galaxy.
At dusk, the ambiguous light at dusk made this somewhat cold room feel a little warm and quiet. No one spoke for a while, only soothing and healing singing remained.
Jiang Qiujin looked away in embarrassment, and asked, "This song is called Hey Jude, right?"
Lin Qi raised the corners of his lips and said relaxedly, "Yes, it was released in 1968."
For Lin Qi, collecting vinyl records is like collecting past musical memories, because vinyl records cover almost a century of musical memory.Even if the former music carriers such as vinyl records and CDs have withdrawn from the market, they are still the feelings of the times.
Every time you play it, you are reading the memory of the past.
The first time Lin Qi heard this song was in his father's study, when he was eight years old, after his parents divorced, his father's assistant played it to him.
Lin Qi once didn't understand his parents, why they divorced, why they left such a young self abroad alone, he even questioned them why they couldn't maintain the superficial harmony like other married families, but later on with age These things were slowly put down, and Lin Xi also began to try to understand them.
Because Lin Xi gradually discovered that he was the same kind of person as his father and grandfather, equally paranoid, lonely and powerful.Even without the warmth of an ordinary family, the genes of the Lin family connect them tightly, allowing the heirs to grow freely, like an innate trust.
They used their actions to tell him that heirs don't need feelings, they don't need to be understood, they don't need to be restrained, they just need to be strong enough, they don't have company, only inheritance.
In February of this year, Lin Xi's grandfather was critically ill. When Lin Xi returned to China, his father didn't say anything, but patted him on the shoulder silently. The resemblance in them grows into a cold and cruel machine, and finally dies alone with stubbornness.
After the funeral, Lin Qi refused to go to England again. Although he had rebelled before, this time was the worst.
But Lin Zhaoxi only said, "Be responsible for your own decisions".
But now, although Lin Xi understood them, he didn't think they were right, and he was no longer afraid that he would become a monster because he met Jiang Qiujin.
Jiang Qiu is his dream, his spring breeze.
Jiang Qiujin visited the piano room, studio and study room on the second floor, the tea room, dining room and sun room on the first floor, and the basement. The entire basement is an open-plan leisure and entertainment space.
The third floor was Lin Xi's mother's site, Jiang Qiu never went up, and went back to the living room with Lin Xi.
Jiang Qiujin suddenly discovered that after walking around, except for a room on the first floor for the aunt to stay overnight, there was no guest room!
Jiang Qiu pinned his hopes on the third floor, and asked a little nervously, "Does your house...do not have a guest room?"
Lin Xi replied frankly: "No."
Jiang Qiu tried his best to support his forehead, a little helpless: "Then where should I sleep?"
Lin Qi smiled and said, "Where else can you sleep?"
Jiang Qiujin's face turned red when he heard the words, bit his lips and did not answer.
Lin Qi leaned in front of him and asked viciously, "Then where do you sleep? Huh?"
Looking at Lin Qi's smiling face, Jiang Qiujin sensed a sense of danger inexplicably, and stammered, "You, your room?"
"You are welcome to come to my room to sleep at any time," Lin Xi said in a good mood, messing Jiang Qiujin's hair, "wash your hands and eat first, my aunt has cooked the meal."
Jiang Qiu was lucky to escape, and was relieved.
Because Jiang Qiu absolutely didn't like meeting strangers and was not used to talking with others, Lin Qi gave Aunt Chen a two-day vacation. Before they came back, Aunt Chen made dinner and put it in the warmer.Lin Qi took out the vegetables and filled them with soup and rice. Jiang Qiujin looked at his busy figure and suddenly felt at ease.
Jiang Qiujin looked at the various magnets on the refrigerator, and asked curiously, "Did you buy these?"
"No, Wang Xiao bought it," Lin Qilue said disgustedly, "Every time we travel to other countries, he has to buy two refrigerator stickers, one to stick in my refrigerator, and force me to bring it back when I return home, I don't know. What kind of bad taste."
Jiang Qiujin was a little surprised when he heard the words. He roughly estimated that there were at least two dozen magnets on the refrigerator. He didn't expect Lin Qi to have been to so many countries.
When Lin Xi thought he was abandoned by the whole world, he and Wang Xiao could travel to at least two countries a year, and find themselves during the trip, but what was Jiang Qiujin doing at that time?Survive in the cracks, eat hungry and full, add new wounds to old wounds, worry every day, and live a life where you don’t know if there will be a tomorrow.
My biggest wish is to be able to sleep peacefully without worrying about a sudden slap in the middle of the night.
Even so, Jiang Qiujin still cleans himself up every day and gets full marks in every exam, because he knows that only by growing up alive and excellent is his only chance to get out of the quagmire.
After several failed attempts to run away from home, Jiang Qiujin discovered in despair that the world is too big for society to save him, the law cannot save him, the police cannot save him, his kind but timid neighbors cannot save him, and neither can the teacher. not him.The neighbors will only treat him like a stray cat, and occasionally give him two buns. The teacher will be scared away if he brings him to the door to reason. The police will believe his uncle and bring him back again and again. No one wants to listen to a child. If so, he can only rely on himself.
Forbearance day after day, forbearance to grow up.
But now, Jiang Qiu can only rejoice. Fortunately, when he was most desperate, he did not choose to leave this world. Fortunately, his uncle, who was drinking and smoking all day long, had already been hollowed out and had no strength to beat him to death. Fortunately, the aunt next door was timid but very Kind, very sensitive, called the police in time, fortunately he agreed to come to school, fortunately...Although God did not favor him, he let Lin Qi come to him.
fortunately.
Seeing that Jiang Qiu was in a daze, Lin Qi flicked his forehead with his fingers and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
"Ah!" Jiang Qiujin came back to his senses, covered his forehead, and said in a low voice, "No, nothing."
"Shall we travel together in the future?" Lin Qi asked softly, "Where do you want to go?"
Jiang Qiu looked at Lin Qiying's angry eyebrows, and his heart skipped a beat: "Anywhere is fine."
Lin Xi had a smile on his lips: "Then it's up to me."
More than a month ago, looking at the chandelier on the restaurant, I could feel the lonely forest habitat, but now even the creative wall clock on the wall feels very cute.
After dinner, the two went out for a walk to digest food. The distance between each villa in Yuze Manor was very large, and it seemed very quiet at night. Because of the many plants, the air was a bit humid, and the street lights were hidden in the shadow of the trees. Walking slowly, you can see coffee shops, convenience stores and restaurants on the side of the road, and the decorations are very artistic.
The two talked softly as they walked, Lin Xi talked more, Jiang Qiujin listened quietly, listening to Lin Xi's interesting stories in England, Jiang Qiujin's heart felt warm, and there was a smile on the corners of his eyes and brows.
After they came back, they both took a shower. Lin Xi suggested watching a movie before going to bed, but he took Jiang Qiujin to the piano room.
"Aren't you watching a movie?" Jiang Qiujin blinked, "The video room is in the basement, right?"
"I find it inconvenient, so I installed a projector in the piano room." Lin Qi wiped off the water droplets on his cheeks, "The atmosphere of watching movies in the piano room will be better."
Soon, Jiang Qiujin understood what he meant when he said the atmosphere was better, and it wasn't just "better" at all.
Lin Qi only left a few small warm yellow spotlights, connected his laptop to the projector, and directly used a white wall as a screen to open the movie he had downloaded in advance.
When the background music of the movie sounded, the thick and colorful pictures were projected on the wall, and the leaves of the plants in the corner stretched aside like scattered tails, and the rich and complex shadows were like the voice-over of the movie.
As soon as the music started, Jiang Qiujin knew what movie it was.
