Chapter 46 - Studio and piano
After making such a decision, the two proceeded as planned.
Shortly after the first car left the hotel, Lu Lingjuan received feedback from bodyguards saying there was an unknown vehicle tracking behind. After they left for about half an hour, Yin Chang and Lu Lingju, who had changed clothes, went downstairs and got into the new car.
“Huh … it’s the same as shooting a spy movie!” Lu Lingju nervously said.
They were not in a hurry to go to the house either, but let the driver go around the city.
Yin Chang remembered the place he used to live as a kid, and with a thought, he asked the driver to go to the lotus apartment near Qingcheng Curve.
“I lived here before I went to Los Angeles.” Yin Chang told Lu Lingju.
After more than ten years, there are already people and things there. Although it is still called the “Lotus Apartment”, whether it is a green landscape or a street lamp fountain, it is no longer in memory.
“How old did you go abroad?” Lu Lingju asked.
“Four years old, or five years old?” Yin Chang couldn’t remember much, it was at that stage anyway.
He did n’t know why Yin Dong had to send him abroad at that time. When he learned to go online and searched for Yin Dong ’s resume, he learned that that year, Yin Dong used the literary film “Time” Won the title of Best Newcomer in the Hong Kong City Film Golden Pine Awards.
Twenty-seven-year-old, can be considered late to become famous, but this name also made Yin Dong quickly entered the public’s vision, and lost a peaceful life.
Yin Dong sent him abroad to protect him.
“So did you speak Chinese before you left?” Lu Lingju curiously said, “Your Chinese is very good.”
“Yes, Fiona speaks Chinese, English, Cantonese and three languages. When I get along with her, I usually speak Chinese, and when I get there, my dad has a Chinese teacher for me.”
“No wonder, then, that nanny has been by your side since childhood.” Lu Lingjuan thoughtfully.
“Um.” Yang Na has been since Yin Chang was conscious. Now thinking about it, when Yin Dong answered his doubts about “Mom” when he was a child, he was convinced of Yin Dong’s statement because Fiona was accompanying him.
When it was confirmed that no one was following, the two men let the driver drive to the quiet road around the island.
That place is an old villa area, and the place is remote, there are few people nearby, and there is no security.
It was almost dark when the house was found.
Yin Chang did not find the key to the house when she cleaned up Yin Dong’s study room. Now when she got to the place, she could only ask Lu Lingju to call the police and verify the identity of the head of the household to unlock and change the core for them.
Fortunately, the policeman who was here was a middle-aged uncle. He didn’t know Yin Chang. He opened the door for them and left.
When they entered the house, they saw dust covering everywhere, and a grey patch on the old carpet.
Lu Lingju wrinkled her nose and waved her hand. Yin Chang walked in front of her and lifted up some of the cloths. Some old-fashioned furniture was shown below, but he didn’t remember whether they had been used in the Lotus apartment before. .
There was nothing to dig in the living room. Yin Chang pushed open the door of one of the rooms and saw a crib and sofa bed in it, as well as items used by infants such as walkers and baby seats.- It’s a baby room.
His heart pounded heavily … have he lived here?
There was a room beside the baby’s room, and Yin Chang pushed in the door and froze.
In the eyes … it’s a studio.
I saw several easels, artboards, and plaster statues in the corner, and a lot of painting tools such as paintbrushes and paints were placed on a row of shelves along the wall, but the thick gray had already accumulated on them.
Strangely, there is no “serious work” in this studio. There is a pile of yellowed paper on the ground, but they are all abstract graffiti. It feels like a draft where the painter wipes the paint up casually. .
Yin Chang flipped through a few pictures without seeing the signature, and took a few pictures with his mobile phone.
The window of this studio is facing the small garden attached to the villa. Due to neglect, the window is overgrown with weeds.
Yin Changjian saw a stone sculpture in the corner of the garden, which looks a bit like a traditional stone lion, but it is not exactly like it, and he doesn’t know what animal it is, and it is almost covered by grass.
“It’s really been a long time since no one came here …” Lu Lingjuan is a girl, and now it’s gloomy outside. He saw Yin Chang look solemnly tossing and turning in this long uninhabited house, and he was a little panic-stricken. .
“There are two rooms downstairs. Do you have any impression of these things?” She couldn’t help but want to talk to Yin Chang.
“No …” Yin Chang said and went upstairs.
Lu Lingju quickly followed up: “We have to hurry up, it gets dark early in winter, the house is probably out of power, and the lights are not on.”
Yin Chang made a low hum, and pushed open the door of a room upstairs.
This is the master bedroom. There is a large double bed in the middle of the room. The bed is neatly placed with two pillows and a double quilt. The windows and doors may be closed. The room is not very dusty. But also because there was no ventilation for a long time, there was a musty smell inside.
Yin Chang opened the closet and saw that there were still several men’s clothes hanging there, as well as several scarves, and a pair of leather boots-not bad after so many years, it seems that the quality of the clothes is good-it is probably Yin Dong’s.
But the cabinets and desks beside the bed were cleaned up. Yin Chang opened the drawer and saw only a few pens, a few old coins, and a small medicine bottle.
He glanced at the label above, which was a jargon or English. He couldn’t understand it, so he took the medicine into his pocket.
Apart from these, there is nothing else. There are no photos, notes or other things that may appear in movies.
Yin Chang left the bedroom and opened the door of the last room. This room is even more empty. There is an old piano in it, and there is a small round table next to it. There is a gramophone on it, all covered with gray.
Yin Chang walked over and lifted the piano cover, wondering a bit. In his impression, Yin Dong did not play the piano …
He reached out his finger and pressed a key, making a squeaking sound, and a flash of memory flashed in his mind.
It was when he was eight years old that he traveled to Vienna with Yin Dong. They passed by a musical instrument store. He was very interested in the musical instruments inside, and Yin Dong took him in for a stroll.
— “Dad, the piano sounds so good, I want to learn piano!”
— “Xiao Chang, it’s hard to play the piano, and it hurts my fingers after playing for a long time. Boys still don’t want to learn any musical instruments … Daddy will take you to learn horse riding?
…
Yin Chang retracted her hand as if she had been scalded, and recovered her thoughts.
What Yin Dong said at the time completely eliminated his desire to learn piano.
But this place has a piano.
Who owns this piano?
It wasn’t until the room was so dark that she couldn’t see anything, and Yin Chang went downstairs.
Lu Lingju followed him and asked, “Will that studio and the piano be your mother?”
Yin Chang shook his head and said, “Here … there is no mother.”
“Why?” Lu Lingju didn’t understand why Yin Chang was so determined.
“Did you not find it,” Yin Chang smiled bitterly, “there is nothing in this house that belongs to a woman.”
“It seems to be …”
No dresser, no women’s clothes, no trace of women’s life …
“Go back.” Yin Chang looked around, all wondering if he had strayed into someone else’s home. This house can be said to have nothing to do with him.
“Huh …” The car was still waiting outside, and Lu Lingju closed the doors and windows for him and walked out with Yin Chang.
Seeing Yin Chang’s loss, Lu Lingju couldn’t help but comfort him: “Although we didn’t find anything related to your mother, we didn’t find your dad deceived you, right? Maybe it really is what your father said Your mother just died. Maybe this house Yin Dong once lent it to a friend, and the contents are his friend’s. “
“Maybe.” Yin Chang sat in the car, thinking of Yang Na’s reaction that day, and felt that he was too sensitive.
Yang Na has been with him for so many years, and now Yin Dong has passed away. What reason does she have to hide from him?
Maybe, this is a place for sundries. Yang Na said she wanted to return to Hong Kong City because of coincidence …
Yin Chang held his face with both hands tiredly, remembering the small medicine bottle just found in the house, pulled it out of his pocket, and checked the label on the Internet with his mobile phone.
An online translator explains that this is amitriptyline, an antidepressant.
Yin Chang frowned slightly.
That night, they did not stay overnight in Hong Kong City, and bought a plane ticket to fly back to Haicheng overnight.
When Yin Chang arrived home, it was already midnight. Yang Na didn’t know he was back tonight, she was asleep, and Yin Chang had no intention to disturb her.
After entering the bedroom, Yin Chang glanced at the direction of the study, and Shao Junling was already asleep. He put his hand luggage on the side and went to the bathroom to wash his face and brush his teeth. After washing, he went to bed lightly and wanted to sleep, but heard Shao Junling’s voice at the end of the bed: “Brother …”
The guy didn’t know when he woke up, stood there silently, and looked at him sleepy.
“… Noisy to you?” Yin Chang looked at him silently, his movements were already very light.
At this time he could not help but feel a little depressed without the inconvenience of the door.
Seeing that Shao Junling was dressed thinly, Yin Chang was trying to tell him to go back to sleep, and saw him crawling up from the end of the bed and getting into his bed.
Yin Chang: “?????”
No, did I call you up? ? ?
Shao Junling twisted up the drill in the quilt, exposed his head from the other end of the quilt, looked at Yin Chang up close, and murmured, “You are back.”
Yin Chang: “………”
The little guy still had drowsiness on his face, yawned, and fell asleep next to him.
Yin Chang let go of his stiff hand …
Bale.
He was so full of his mind that the house in Hong Kong City was disturbed by Shao Junling, and he didn’t even think about it again.
Early the next morning, Yang Na saw that Shao Junling had arrived and hadn’t come out for breakfast. She couldn’t help but knock on his door.
It turned out that the door was hidden—Yin Chang was afraid of getting into Shao Junling last night and didn’t close the door when he entered.
Yang Na pushed in the door and saw the luggage on the floor sharply … Yin Chang was back?
Looking at the big bed again, I saw two big heads, one small one, and two small heads in the bed. The brothers were squeezing together and slept soundly.
Yang Na smiled heartily and did not bother silently, and quietly backed out.
When Yin Chang and Shao Junling got up, she was busy greeting them to eat early: “It’s almost ten o’clock, and my stomach is going to sleep. I would rather eat something and rest … Xiao Chang, when did you come back last night? I didn’t hear it. “
Yin Chang drank hot porridge and said, “Midnight …”
Yang Na doesn’t watch entertainment news and rarely watches TV. She doesn’t know Yin Chang has gone to Hong Kong City.
Seeing Yang Na’s calm expression, Yin Chang didn’t find any suspicious clues in the house, so she was embarrassed to ask more. After all, he deceived Yang Na first. If he pursues it carefully, it means that he did not trust Yang Na before, and the two will get embarrassed afterwards.
The matter of the house is nothing more.
In a few days, Yin Chang will resume work. Listening to Lu Lingju said that because of the endorsement photo he took for Bg, Yao Manhuai’s announcements for him are almost at the end of this year.
“There is also a parent-child variety show invitation. The planning case has been sent. General Yao said that you should take time to take a look at these two days. The schedule is set for the summer vacation.” Lu Lingjuan reported to him on the phone about his work arrangements.
“Parent-child variety show?” Yin Chang thought of the female producer who met on TV two months ago.
“Yes, but I glanced at it, as if I wanted you to join Shao Junling.” Lu Lingju said.
Yin Chang frowned. “She’s fixed?”
Lu Lingju said: “Uh, it should be, but I’m not sure if this has been answered. I will look back and ask her again.”
“Um.” Yin Chang pressed the urge to call Yao Manhuai, and pressed the phone and left it aside.

[Interlude]
Poor brother, it feels like everyone in the world is hiding him.
Dad hid him. My brother is hiding from him. The babysitter also hid him.
But it’s okay … at least there is a brother to sleep with him.
Shao Junling: Will I come down when I go to my brother’s bed? ( ̄︶ ̄)
