Chapter 106
How come I didn't hear the unpleasant piano sound?
Am I deaf?
Bai Yan found it incredible. He could hear what Lin Miaomiao said, so it was impossible that there was something wrong with his ears.
Bai Yan turned his head to look at Lin Miaomiao. Lin Miaomiao's apple face was wrinkled into a ball, like a dehydrated and wrinkled dry apple.
Seeing her bitter face and the uncomfortable look of blocking her ears, it didn't seem like she was lying.
Then, the piano sound was undoubtedly real.
But why could Lin Miaomiao hear it, but he couldn't?
Ignoring Lin Miaomiao, who covered her ears tightly and looked more and more painful, Bai Yan stared at the "person" playing the piano.
The crooked figure swung more and more.
Its hands rose and fell quickly on the keys, but the room was silent. Except for Lin Miaomiao's painful breathing, Bai Yan couldn't hear the sound of a single note.
The room was very quiet.
Bai Yan quietly watched the piano ghost's silent performance. His eyes kept moving with the piano ghost's hands, but his mind was not on it at all.
He and Lin Miaomiao were both standing behind the piano ghost, unable to see his face.
Bai Yan tried to move two steps to the side, but even if he moved, he could only see the gray side of the piano ghost, and could not see his facial features at all.
Bai Yan took two steps forward, wanting to walk to the piano ghost to find out.
However, when he was one step away from the piano ghost, a cold feeling of entering an ice cave made him freeze all over.
Under this feeling, he even had difficulty breathing, and he had a premonition that if he took another step, he would definitely encounter something very scary!
This feeling was very similar to when he encountered the insurance ghost.
Similarly, an inexplicable desire to survive stopped him and made him stop.
"... Strange, what did I forget?"
Bai Yan shook his head and threw this inexplicable throbbing behind his mind.
But he was still affected, and driven by this feeling, he silently retreated to the side of Lin Miaomiao and kept a safe distance from the piano ghost.
The piano ghost was still playing, and slowly, the frequency of pressing the keys was not so high, as if it had finished playing the high point of the piano piece. At the climax, a soothing performance began.
Although Bai Yan couldn't hear the sound, he knew that the piano ghost was pressing the keys randomly without any rules, but seeing Lin Miaomiao's obviously improved complexion, things didn't seem to be the case.
"..."
Lin Miaomiao's brows relaxed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and her wrinkled little face was like a sponge filled with water, restoring the smoothness and roundness of an apple face.
Lin Miaomiao released her hands covering her ears, and her body began to sway gently with the melody played by the piano ghost.
Although Bai Yan couldn't hear any sound, he knew that this was very wrong.
"Lin Miaomiao, don't you think the piano sounds bad?"
Lin Miaomiao curled her lips, stared at Bai Yan with great dissatisfaction, and said angrily: "You are so annoying, don't disturb me listening to music!"
No matter how Bai Yan called, Lin Miaomiao no longer paid attention to him, and was completely immersed in the performance of the piano ghost.
Lin Miaomiao was full of love for this silent song. Her expression was love at first, then enjoyment...
Slowly, she began to become obsessed, intoxicated, and forgot everything around her...
Finally, she showed an expression that should never appear on a child's face--
Her childish face was filled with desperate madness, and her eyes were full of desires that should not appear at her age.
Lin Miaomiao's eyes became extremely turbid, which made her eyes and tender face extremely inconsistent.
Suddenly, the piano ghost stopped playing.
Lin Miaomiao, like a robot that had lost power, also stopped shaking to the beat.
She suddenly stopped moving, her eyes were empty and lightless, as if she had lost her soul.
But not long after, Lin Miaomiao gradually regained consciousness. She turned her head and faced Bai Yan with the back of her head, giggling behind him, and like a lively child, she jumped to the piano bench and couldn't wait to sit down next to the piano ghost.
After two seconds of silence, Lin Miaomiao's tender little hands, together with the piano ghost, were placed on the piano keys and began to play slowly. Her small body also swayed from side to side, and soon became as crooked as the piano ghost. From that angle, her face could not be seen...
"She seems to like playing the piano very much."
Although he still couldn't hear the piano sound that Lin Miaomiao mentioned, it didn't prevent Bai Yan from appreciating the two people's dedication to playing the piano.
Including Lin Miaomiao's face, which turned from rosy to pale like an apple, he also felt full of beauty.
Soon, the pale color also faded from Lin Miaomiao's side face.
The small piece of skin she exposed began to fade slowly, just like the printed black and white photo, from pale to strange grayish white.
The two "people" were like gray shadows in a black and white silent film, playing crookedly... No sound or color was needed, and it was enough to make anyone who saw this scene feel cold behind their backs.
The little hands and the adult hands were placed on the piano at the same time, and the gray and white color contrast made Bai Yan a little fascinated.
Unfortunately, he didn't appreciate it for long before he was awakened by a strange melody.
He listened to the notes that penetrated into his ears and blurted out: "What an ugly piano sound!"
As soon as these words came out, Bai Yan was stunned, and he remembered what Lin Miaomiao had said just now.
At first, Lin Miaomiao also thought the piano was unpleasant, and then, soon she had no more...
Thinking of this, Bai Yan immediately looked up at the piano.
Four hands kept moving on the piano, creating a piercing sound that made people's headaches split.
Bai Yan couldn't help but cover his ears as he listened, and a painful expression exactly like Lin Miaomiao appeared on his face.
Bai Yan knew that he couldn't go on like this.
If he continued to listen, he would be like Lin Miaomiao. At that time, there would be three "people" sitting on the piano bench playing the song.
Two "people" sitting on a piano bench is crowded enough, he doesn't want this!
When he thought about dying here, he would have to squeeze a piano bench with two other "people" and live a life of squeezing each other, Bai Yan's face was full of rejection.
He felt that this way of dying was too shameful, so he completely abandoned the idea of dying here. He resisted the discomfort in his body, trotted to the iron door, scratched the iron door with his fingertips, and deliberately made a "scratching" sound that would make people's ears creep.
At the same time, he kept knocking on the door with his other hand, shouting while knocking on the door: "Teacher Ning, open the door! Lin Miaomiao and I have realized our mistakes!"
I don't know if he was annoyed by Bai Yan's continuous voice, or couldn't stand the harsh sound of his nails scratching the door.
Before Bai Yan felt that the piano sound became "pleasant to the ears", Ning Xiuli finally strode to the utility room and opened the door, ready to teach the two dishonest dead children a lesson.
Ning Xiuli opened the door and said unkindly to Bai Yan who was standing at the door: "What are you doing? Are you itching to die?"
Worried that Ning Xiuli would lock him in the utility room again, Bai Yan quickly got out and said indignantly: "Teacher Ning, I want to expose someone to you! Lin Miaomiao secretly played the piano in there, and she disturbed the other children's sleep. She is not a good child! Teacher, do you want to go in and teach her a lesson? She is really abominable!"
