Chapter 13 Coppelia

Kobayashi sees his niece as his opponent day by day. She herself knew that this idea was absurd, but she always felt that there was something in Shui'er that she was afraid of, something she had known before——Shui'er's gaze at Qu Feng was lingering and forbearing, like Ruan Danbing, but, Such a strong and reserved affection, expressed by the eighteen-year-old Ruan Danbing, is still indifferent no matter how tactful it is; on the twelve-year-old Shui'er, it is a real fairy. Her whole body, inside and out, was inappropriate everywhere.Inappropriate waywardness, but inappropriate propriety; inappropriate enthusiasm hides inappropriate depression; inappropriate despair reveals inappropriate indifference.

The collection of all kinds of inappropriateness is an indescribable and inimitable layer of temptation, which binds the style of music tightly into silkworms. Qu Feng's attitude towards Shui'er is no longer like an "uncle" treating a little girl.The tenderness and regret in his eyes when he looked at Shui'er was something Xiao Lin had never had before.His care and love for Shui'er surpassed everything, making her far behind. Involuntarily, in the bottom of his heart, Xiao Lin regards his twelve-year-old niece as a strong enemy. Their war broke out on a hot afternoon in late summer.

That day, the three of us were resting together in the shade of the hospital tree, the weeping willows were like silk, the cicadas were chirping long and short in the depths of the willows, the butterflies were busy flying among the flowers, the wind was soft, and the replay of the familiar TV series was sent over the wall. Interlude, clear and blurry for a while.Shui'er hummed softly along with the tune: "I already knew that I should not have loved him at the beginning, but I am willing to exchange my life for him to treat him sincerely. For him, I am willing to endure all the sorrows in the world. In my heart, Nothing can replace this deep love..." She sang softly and full of affection.Qu Feng couldn't help being stunned.

After the song was finished, Shui'er sighed faintly, and said with emotion: "When I watched it for the first time, I really envied Huang Rong and Guo Jing. They could play happily and happily together every day. I don't know how happy they are; the second time I watched it , but feel..." "This is your first time watching Condor Shooting?" Qu Feng felt strange, "How many times have you watched Condor Shooting?" "Twice, the last time was seven or eight years ago. At that time, I didn't understand it. I just thought it was lively and beautiful. Now I rewatch it, but I like Mu Nianci even more. Her feelings for Yang Kang without complaint or regret are really touching. .”

After listening to Qu Feng, he felt even more weird, but he couldn't tell what was wrong for a while.But Xiao Lin had already heard the smell, curled his lips and said, "You are only so old now, do you think you understand it well?" Shui'er didn't answer, and still followed his own thoughts and said with emotion: "Guo Jing and Huang Rong have been in love since the first meeting, and they talk about death and life every day. After watching for a long time, they don't feel that much; Mu Nian Between Ci and Yang Kang, there is a process of emotional development. She saves Yang Kang again and again, and finally makes Yang Kang turn from indifferent to infatuated with her. Every time I see Yang Kang showing his true feelings, I am very moved... Is it never Is it all like this? The more bad a man is, the rarer and more touching his feelings will be?"

Qu Feng only felt that she was insinuating, and couldn't help laughing. Shui'er said again: "Qu Feng, if I were Mu Nianci, I would do the same, even if I sacrificed my life to save you..." Xiao Lin snorted coldly: "Children's words don't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth." Shui'er straightened her face: "I'm talking to Qu Feng, not you." She looked at Qu Feng and said solemnly: "Qu Feng, I not only talk about it, but I can do it." "Okay, I believe in you, I believe you can do it, okay?" Qu Feng simply didn't know how to talk to this girl who said she was big or small, whether she was serious or not.To be honest, he also thought that what Shui'er said was childish, and the TV belonged to the TV. He didn't believe that such a thing would really happen in real life, at least, he had never seen it.But, really not?

He suddenly thought of Ruan Danbing, and remembered the reporter's question: "Ruan Danbing sacrificed his life to save you, is it because he fell in love with you?" His heart moved—Shui'er had changed the subject: "The newspaper said that Shooting the Condors will be re-shooted, please Yang Liping Acting as Mei Chaofeng. Using her peacock hands to express the nine yin and white bone claws is really violent and poisonous art." Xiao Lin looked at the twelve-year-old niece in annoyance, which also made her feel weird. The little girl had too many opinions and idioms.She has always felt that she is a bit like Ruan Danbing in some places, but Ruan Danbing is not such a talkative person, and she doesn't like chocolate and French fries; Shui'er is different, every day she clamors for Dalin and Qufeng to buy her various sweets , without any scruples about whether he will become a little fat man in the future - this is like the gluttonous swan that Qu Feng adopted.What made her most uncomfortable was that Qu Feng and Shui'er seemed to agree with each other quite congenially, they had questions and answers, and the conversation was very enjoyable.

I just heard Qu Feng say: "I also think that the gimmick of having a famous dancer to play the female devil is too low-level. Not only will it not make people who like Yang Liping like Mei Chaofeng, but it will make people who watch Shooting the Condor look down on it from now on. Yang Liping. Dance is a noble art, but martial arts drama is a kind of popular entertainment, how can they be confused?" Kobayashi was very impatient with these topics, but pretended to be interested and asked questions, asking Qu Feng for some knowledge about music and dance.When she was asking, seeing the mocking gazes in Shui'er's eyes from time to time, she was secretly annoyed, but she couldn't care about it seriously.

When it comes to dance, it is inevitable to talk about theater performances. When it comes to Ruan Danbing, Qufeng said: "Dance is a western art, but Danbing's dance is for Chinese people, and only Chinese people can really appreciate it." "Really? I don't think so. Modern Chinese would rather like modern dance, the storyline is clearer." Xiao Lin replied. Qu Feng glanced at her and said with a smile, "The Chinese people I'm talking about are different from the Chinese people you're talking about." "Is it different? Am I not Chinese? You are not 100% Chinese."

Qu Feng stopped talking, he knew it would be useless to say any more, he is not a person who is good at expressing, many meanings are hidden in his heart but can not be expressed in words.His "China" is not a simple geographical term, but an adjective, oriental, classical, subtle, elegant, honest, and glamorous. "That school of poetic flavor, moreover, is the poetic realm of Chinese Tang and Song poetry, not the poetic realm of Mrs. Browning's sonnets.But does this kind of remark make sense with Kobayashi? Her highest knowledge is nothing more than reading two novels by Zhang Ailing and memorizing a few words such as "Desolate Gesture" and "Love in a Fallen City". The girl in the alley in the novel has much more advanced knowledge, after all, she has studied in university for two years more.

But Ruan Danbing is too high, so high that she doesn't need to say anything, as long as she plays the piano, she can already understand it.His qin, and her dance, both come from the language of the West and express the ideas of the East.There is not much conversation between them, and even when they cooperate, they rarely exchange feelings. They only use the sound of the piano and dance to explain everything thoroughly.And this, to a certain extent, hindered their communication with each other.Because they are used to talking in silence, they seldom talk. They have known each other for many years, but they are still strangers.Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, she would save him. There is wind in the tree, and the green is so salad, but it casts an extra tranquility in the shade of the tree.In the green wind, Shui'er suddenly asked: "That Ruan Danbing you mentioned, is she a good dancer?" "It's not very good." Xiao Lin said, "It's just that he is better than others. In order to win the heroine of "Death of the Swan", I don't know how much scheming was used." For some reason, Shui'er suddenly became annoyed again: "Is it easy to fight for a heroine? You can jump upside down twice and show me." Xiao Lin felt baffled: "I don't know how to dance, how can I show you?" "Since you can't dance, you don't know how to dance and you don't know music, why do you scold Ruan Danbing?" Shui'er was aggressive, staring at her little aunt angrily, "I want you to apologize to Ruan Danbing!" "I apologize to Ruan Danbing?" Xiao Lin became a little impatient, "Why are you so obsessive? The adults are talking, and the children are playing." Shui'er's small face was flushed, and suddenly she turned her head, and pointed at Qu Feng again: "What about you? Do you think what she said is right? Do you also think that Ruan Danbing is nothing?" "Of course not." Qu Feng bent down in surprise, making his gaze level with Shui'er, "Dan Bing is a very amazing dancer. If she can wake up, if she knows you, she will definitely teach you how to dance .She loves dancing very much. Seeing that you love dancing so much, she must like you very much." "Thank you." Shui'er suddenly had tears in her eyes. She took Qu Feng's hand and said seriously: "Qu Feng, thank you. You are a person who really knows how to respect dance. You are my confidant." There was such a sincere joy on her little face that Qu Feng couldn't help but be shocked. He looked at her ecstatically, lost and intoxicated by a little girl's praise and approval.He felt that he had been seen through by this twelve-year-old girl, and he had nowhere to hide in front of her. In the same way, Xiao Lin was really moved by this sentence. He is her confidant, so what is he?Is it his non-confidant?In a hurry, she suddenly made up her mind and said, "Music style, I want to learn piano." "Why do you suddenly have such an idea?" Qu Feng looked at her strangely, "You have never been interested in music." "It's too late to be interested now." Xiao Lin said, deliberately hugged Qu Feng's arm, and showed his niece affectionately.She and Qu Feng, true or false, have always been in love, even though he never said he loved her, but after all, they hugged and kissed once.These are always impossible for little girls to do, right?Although she can't talk about art with him, she can talk about love with him. This is the advantage of age.She rested her head on Qu Feng's shoulder, and said coquettishly: "I never told you, just last month, I officially signed up for the piano school." "Really?" Qu Feng was even more surprised, "Why never heard you mention it?" "I want to tell you after I have learned a certain level, and give you a surprise." Xiao Lin lowered his head shyly, "I don't expect myself to become a pianist, but I hope that through this kind of learning, I can really understand you and understand you. Piano, one day, I will play a song with you..." Qu Feng was not unmoved by such a confession, but also very shocked.He never thought that Xiao Lin would learn the piano for him. Such sincere intentions already made him take it seriously, and said seriously, "Xiao Lin, I don't want to lie to you, actually..." "Don't say it." Xiao Lin hurriedly blocked his mouth, not giving him a chance to confess, she leaned closer to him, and asked beggingly: "Just tell me, will you give me advice?" "I'm afraid I don't have time." Qu Feng replied hesitantly, he still couldn't accept the sudden news for a while, and at the same time, he was also uneasy because of Xiao Lin's pretended intimacy.He knew very well that she was doing it for Shui'er, which made him a little disgusted besides being passive. As an aunt, what's the point of fighting this kind of anger with his niece?And that was just a kid.Isn't it boring for a mature woman to compete wits with a twelve-year-old?Especially the fact that this fight was caused by him made him even more disturbed.It's common for women to be jealous of him, and his most common way is to turn a blind eye, listen and not hear.But this time is different, this time the opponents are the aunt and nephew, especially the opponent is a little girl who is not familiar with the world.If you make a serious fuss, it doesn't mean anything to anyone.He gently pushed Xiao Lin away, and said, "I have to go to work, to the hospital, and to see Ruan Danbing, I'm afraid I won't have time to teach you." "If you don't teach her when you have time, she won't learn at all!" Shui'er said loudly, Xiao Lin's various behaviors had already angered her, she pulled the music away forcefully, and ordered arrogantly: "You are not allowed to teach her to play the piano, you promise Spend more time with me." "Shui'er, why are you always against me?" Xiao Lin's anger gradually rose, "Can you act like a good child and play with yourself instead of always meddling in adults' business." "Do you think I don't know what you're thinking? You've been thinking about marrying him all day long!" Shui'er looked at her provocatively, "You want to stay in the troupe and learn the piano, but you want to get close to him!" Xiao Lin was ashamed and annoyed: "So what if you think about it? What does it matter to you?" "Of course it's none of my business." Shui'er said with a cold mockery in his eyes, "I won't let you marry him. Because I want to marry him myself." "Shui'er! What are you talking about?" Xiao Lin was really annoyed this time, "You are really shameless! You are only so old, you just say such things!" "You're shameless!" Unexpectedly, little Shui'er turned tit-for-tat, sharp-tongued and refused to give in, "You don't understand anything at all, you don't understand music, you don't understand dancing, you don't know how to respect others, and you don't know how to respect others." Knowing how to truly appreciate the style of music, you can only put on airs, put on airs, and try to dress yourself up beautifully. How can you be worthy of him?" "I'm not worthy, are you worthy? You little goblin!" Xiao Lin gradually panicked, facing Shui'er's tight little face, he was about to hit him with a wave of his hand. Shui'er was furious, not only did not hide, but went up to him: "How dare you?" His eyes were serious, the majesty of a little girl should not be violated. Xiao Lin became furious, gritted his teeth and said, "Do you think I dare?" "Xiao Lin!" Qu Feng couldn't stand it anymore, stepped forward and pulled Xiao Lin away, and said loudly, "She's just a little girl, why are you so fussy about her?" "She's not a little girl, she's a monster!" Xiao Lin lost his mind and shouted desperately, "She's a Coppelia!" Qu Feng was stunned: "What?" "Do you remember the story of the dance drama "Coppelia"?" Xiao Lin looked at Shui'er in fear, as if seeing a ghost, "Coppelia is a very beautiful and cute girl from a distance, but you can only get close to her. You will find that she has no soul at all, she is just a puppet. It is the cover of the old magician Gopelius that makes her have an illusory life. The wizard is looking for young people to be his own test subjects, collecting their souls to give Coppelia... " "You mean to say that Shui'er is Coppelia, she is just a puppet without a soul, and her body has been taken over by someone else's soul?" Qu Feng was angry, "She is your niece, how can you slander her like this?" "Because she is my niece, I know her better than you!" Xiao Lin exclaimed, "Since she regained consciousness this time, she has become a completely different person. Before, Shui'er was quiet, Shy, she's a simple little girl, how can she be so weird? She can't dance, her body has been weak since she was a child, and she hasn't learned to dance in a day. She doesn't like looking at lotus flowers, and she won't refuse to call you Uncle Qu..." "Little Lin, do you know what you're talking about? You're jealous of the same little girl!" "I've said it before, she's not a little girl, but a monster!" Xiao Lin rushed over suddenly, shaking Shui'er's body and shouted, "Who the hell are you? Tell me! Who are you?!" Suddenly, a strange smile flashed across Shui'er's eyes, and Xiao Lin's back was chilled. She said innocently, "What? Am I not your niece, Shui'er?" Her hair was disheveled and her face was pale. Unclear, innocently shouting: "Let me go! Let me go!" That way, she was just a helpless little girl who got into trouble. "Enough!" Qu Feng couldn't stand it anymore, he rushed forward and pulled Xiao Lin away forcefully, shouting loudly: "What are you doing? Are you crazy? She is so weak and still ill, do you want her life?" Kobayashi calmed down and let go of his hand in a slumped manner.However, the moment she let go, Shui'er suddenly lowered her voice and said quickly, "I didn't expect that the person who knows me best is you!" Xiaolin suddenly froze.
