.,

The light wind was blowing slowly, blowing the light gray curtains, the beige lace lining danced along with it, and the sparse golden sunlight danced and danced like a elf; The sadness and loneliness just flowed out.

Arthur still remembers that day—the day Renly left home for New York.

George and Elizabeth were both at home. Even though Renly had informed them of their decision to leave in advance, they were still indifferent and unmoved. They had no plans to change their daily routine. They went to the restaurant in an orderly manner, read the newspaper, and enjoyed breakfast.

Elf, Arthur and Edith were also required to be present - although there is no such rule in normal times, on that day George and Elizabeth issued a mandatory rule that they must show up at the breakfast table on time and not mention it. Renly, as if the Hall's youngest son never existed.

Arthur sat facing the window. Through the window, he could see the scene in the courtyard outside the window. The peaceful and meticulous rhythm of life seemed to be unaffected, but the weather in London was rarely clear and soft. The sun shines lightly on the treetops, falling looming mottled.

"squeak."

I heard the sound of the chair moving, which is very rude at the dining table, because the moving seat must also be carefully raised to avoid the movement of the ground friction, which may disturb other people to eat, and then All eyes were projected towards the source of the sound.

"Edith!" Elizabeth's solemn and stern voice came over.

Edith, who was halfway up, stiffened for a moment, and then she said, "I'm done eating."

"Then sit down and read the letter. Philip, the letter," said Elizabeth loudly.

Edith looked down at the scattered leftovers on the plate, but she didn't know how to express it. She tried to resist George and Elizabeth, but in the end she lacked a little courage; she tried to sneak out to escort her. Ren Li had a ride, but after all, he still lacked a little impulse.

"...let's wait for the letter, I'm a little irritable now." Edith resisted cautiously.

"Then close your eyes and take a deep breath." Elizabeth said calmly, at this time, Philip had delivered the letter and placed it on the dining table.

Edith closed her eyes tightly, her right hand holding the napkin couldn't help but clenched it into a fist, folded it, and folded it again, almost on the verge of an explosion, but she finally managed to control it. She didn't sit down again, but turned around. He strode out of the restaurant and walked towards the tea room next door.

"Edith!" Elizabeth raised her voice slightly and issued a warning, but noticed that Edith hadn't left the tea room, and her figure was still within her line of sight - she didn't continue to escort Renly without going to escort Renly. Stop Edith.

Arthur withdrew his gaze, and out of the corner of his eyes again drifted out of the window absentmindedly, and then he saw Renly.

Twenty-year-old Renly has a calm and graceful look that doesn't match his age. He has a unique temperament in his gestures. Standing in any corner, he can easily stand out. He is not hard-edged but cannot be underestimated. It is easy to have a strong presence. You can catch the sight of others.

It was an early spring morning. Renly wore a smoky gray vertical-striped shirt and a dark green wool coat, carrying a dark brown leather suitcase, and left Hall's house step by step. The tall and slender back showed no special emotions, as if This is a short trip to go out for a spring outing, and I will be back again tomorrow. The steps of leaving are not particularly firm or hesitant, and the light and gentle movements are pleasing to the eye.

In contrast, instead, they all sat upright, and their muscles tightened under the skin of that perfect etiquette.

They all cared, and because they cared too much and were too nervous, they deliberately created the illusion of "don't care", and Renly was the one who didn't care.

Renly stopped in the courtyard and waited for a moment, but... no driver, no helper, just him, alone.

Renly didn't panic either. He took out his cell phone and made a call, calling for a taxi. The waiting time for the taxi was a bit long, but Renly never panicked, just stood there and waited quietly; instead, the atmosphere in the restaurant became more and more tense and stiff. It's a torment for them.

Then came Philip Demba.

Philip quietly accompanied Renly by his side, so that Renly's figure was finally no longer alone. The two did not talk, but stood side by side like that, waiting for the taxi to arrive.

At this time, there was another movement in the tea room. Edith was fiddling with her violin. The harsh string sound seemed to express her protest, but the restaurant was still silent, deadly silent, and she could not detect anger. It was as if no one existed at all. Then the melody came from the tea room—

"God is with us".

That day, Edith played this song "God is with us". It was a little jerky and a little flustered. The rhythm and pitch seemed to be inaccurate, but Edith still played it stubbornly, as if she had returned to her childhood again. Eight years old and Renly five years old, they were both forced to practice songs they didn't like, follow the way of cultivating nobles, polish their personalities little by little, and evolve into perfect nobles in the eyes of others.

The violin strings that weren't moving or graceful rumbled thinly and echoed softly in the room, but Arthur couldn't be sure if Renly heard him, because he didn't look back, from start to finish, only at this moment. Only then can we perceive Renly's stubbornness - stubbornly refusing to turn back, stubbornly refusing to admit defeat, stubbornly refusing to compromise, in his own way, insisting on his own choice without turning back.

The black taxi finally arrived. Philip refused the driver's help, and put Renly's luggage into the trunk by himself. Then he watched Renly get into the taxi, but he still did not leave. Go, Philip just stared at the direction the taxi was leaving for a long, long time.

Arthur's gaze shifted from the taxi to Philip's shoulders. At that moment, he felt unprecedented loneliness, but his footsteps never left. He sat at the dining table like this, from beginning to end; the violin strings in his ears were still ringing. , Edith did not give up, she insisted on finishing the whole piece, played it back and forth twice, then put away the violin, left the tea room, walked through the dining room, and walked towards her room, this time, Elizabeth did not stop Edith anymore.

The memory came back to the present five years ago. Arthur carefully raised his eyes and caught Renly's silhouette out of the corner of his eyes. The face that was not bloody because of his illness was full of tiredness, but his expression was incomparable. Concentrating, as if playing a melody from the sky, the corners of the relaxed mouth lift up lightly, with a hint of pleasant enjoyment, even if it is loneliness, it is also happy loneliness.

Then, Arthur saw Edith with sad eyes.

Arthur lowered his eyes in a panic, hiding his nervousness. He didn't know how to face Renly, and he didn't know how to face Edith - the saddest thing was that he didn't even know how to face himself. .

After a melody was played, Renly's joking voice came from his ear, "Some things have not changed, Arthur, can you rhythm a little more? Edith, the melody is wrong at least five times, At the back, I forgot to count, if Elf is here, she should let us practice a hundred times again."

Edith put the violin down and looked at Renly, "Did you hear that?"

The question was endless, but Edith knew that Renly could understand.

Renly didn't want to answer, but Edith stared at Renly intently, and would not give up if she didn't get an answer, and finally Renly showed a helpless smile, "Such a harsh melody, full of loopholes, even if you want to ignore it is very difficult , I think it can be used as a spell."

Yes, he heard.

Edith's cheeks flushed instantly, and she panicked—as if her secret hidden deep inside had been discovered: she thought Renly hadn't heard.

Arthur held the cello and sat quietly beside him. He tried hard to find clues from Renly's expression, but he was unable to succeed, so he simply asked directly, "Renly, how are you?"

"It's just a small cold. The fever has subsided now. There's no problem, but I'm still a little weak." Renly replied seriously.

Arthur refused to compromise, "You know I'm not asking about that."

"So, you don't care about my health at all?" Renly asked jokingly, but Arthur didn't flinch, which made Renly smile helplessly, "You two are so aggressive today, obviously It's bullying the patient, which means you'd better run away tomorrow, otherwise the consequences will be bad." Even the threat, because of the illness, has no usual power, and Arthur and Edith have no power at all. will not be afraid.

Renly noticed it himself, and shook his head slightly.

Both Arthur and Edith knew that Renly was not the kind of sad character. If there was no special reason, he would not be playing at the piano today, and he would still play with Edith and Arthur; furthermore , he played "God is with us," which also said a lot, and there must be other reasons behind it.

After sitting quietly for a moment, Renly stared at the black and white keys in front of him, waiting for his emotions to settle, then said, "Elizabeth sent a postcard."

What?

Elizabeth Hall? postcard? Wait, what the hell is going on here?

"A blank postcard," Renly added.
