In Dresden on a summer night, the moonlight is bright and clear, like cold water, sprinkled on the small street behind the Semper Opera House. Several European-style street lamps on the street exude dim light, except for a few cars passing by occasionally, almost no one can be seen.
The moment he saw the other party, Qi Mu's subconscious reaction was to turn around and leave.
But this kind of naive thought flashed in his mind for a moment. Looking at the man who had been waiting for a long time, Qi Mu sighed heavily, finally accepting his fate.
Qi Mu smiled and raised his hand and said, "Long time no see, so coincidentally?" His tone was naturally calm, as if it really just happened to happen.
Looking at the young man's calm face, Min Chen raised his eyebrows calmly, and a smile appeared in his eyes. He shook his head gently and said in a low voice, "It's a coincidence, I just waited for three minutes."
Qi Mu: "..."
Just three minutes? ! I mean... if he left four minutes earlier, he wouldn't be able to meet him
As if he had guessed what the young man was thinking now, Min Chen's thin lips were slightly hooked, and he added a knife: "I'm planning to visit Farrer and Mrs. Atori at night, do I need to go with you?"
Qi Mu: "..."
The cold moonlight poured down unobstructed from the cloudless night sky, and the night wind was slightly cool, dispelling the heat of the summer night a little bit.
At this time, Qi Mu had to fully recognize the reality. He no longer pretended to be foolish, nor simply ran away. Instead, he held his piano case in front of him and, together with this man, leaned back against the bumpy masonry wall.
Qi Mu didn't speak, and Min Chen didn't speak either. What he could say had already been said half a month ago.
Min Chen has never been a person who is good at expressing himself. Just a simple "I like you" has exhausted this reserved and reserved man's mind.
At this moment, Qi Mu was raising his head slightly, looking up at the bright full moon.
It is rare to see such a bright and clear moon on summer nights, because too many stars will block the moonlight, and the city lights will make the moonlight appear dim most of the time.
No one spoke at this time, but the atmosphere was very quiet and beautiful. The breeze blew in the small landscape trees on both sides of the road, making the leaves rustled.
For a long time, just when Min Chen thought that the young man who had avoided him for more than half a month would really not speak, he suddenly heard a low and pleasant voice beside him—
"Your record... I've heard it before." There was some helplessness in the voice, only to hear Qi Mu say again: "I heard the last. The song is very nice, this is the most perfect piece I've ever collected. 'Min Chen' or 'Auston Bertram' record."
This kind of beginning made Min Chen ponder for a while, and finally nodded lightly: "Well."
The white moonlight shone on the young man's fair face, Qi Mu smiled softly, and said, "Actually... I'm not a person who likes to escape from reality, but this time... I really don't know what to say. it is good."
Min Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the smiling young man, and asked in a low voice, "What?"
Qi Mu didn't answer his question directly, but began to recall seriously: "When I first heard the name 'Min Chen', it might have happened more than ten years ago, it should have been almost twenty years. That I was surprised at the time, there is such a young Chinese who won the championship of Xiao Sai with full marks?"
Speaking of this, Qi Mu shook his head helplessly and said, "Since then, I have started to pay attention to this person. The first piece I heard was Bach's "Matthew Passion", and later I listened to his Chopin, Beethoven, Schumann, Schubert... and Liszt."
After a pause, Qi Mu suddenly looked up at the man beside him, and asked amusingly, "By the way, I actually found a problem a long time ago... You rarely play Mendelssohn's music, why is that?"
In such a quiet and uninhabited street, only two people said this in a low voice, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
Min Chen looked down at the young man beside him, only felt that the brilliance of the moon seemed to be sucked into the light-colored eyes of the other party, he was a little stunned, and then he asked with a low smile: "I graduated from the Leipzig Conservatory, you do you know?"
Qi Mu nodded: "Well, I know."
"Who founded Leipzig, you know?"
Qi Mu immediately replied: "Mendelssohn." After smiling, he added: "To be precise, this is the first music academy in Germany."
The dark black coat seemed to be integrated with the night, Min Chen nodded slightly and said, "When I first entered Leipzig, I was invited to participate in the school celebration. Mr. Delsson's tunes are even more popular. But they have a tradition..."
When talking about this, Min Chen paused for a moment, and then said: "Mendelssohn is the most classic romantic style. Once you want to play his pieces, you must find a second person to play together. The principal of the violin department at that time is now It seems to be in the Spanish Osica Orchestra, it's a um..." After a long while, Min Chen finally found a suitable adjective: "It's a... girl who likes my music very much."
He couldn't help but burst out laughing, Qi Mu seemed to understand a little bit what was going on.
Min Chen, on the other hand, did not seem to hear the mocking laughter of the young man. He recalled with a serious face: "I don't want to play with her, because many piano and violin principals in Leipzig are like this... bad news... At that time, I couldn't directly say the reason, I just said: I haven't practiced Mendelssohn's songs well, and I feel that I don't have the strength to perform well."
The scene immediately appeared in front of Qi Mu's eyes, he smiled helplessly: "You were able to perform Liszt's songs very well at that time. Your reason... Did the other party believe it?"
"I believe it." With a serious affirmation, Min Chen said solemnly: "Because I said it."
Qi Mu: "..."
"Skill does not mean ability to play. I said at the time that I couldn't express Mendelssohn's romance. That's true. I'm a simple and sincere person."
This is so funny that Qi Mu couldn't help turning his head to look at Min Chen, but the moment he saw him, he was stunned.
I saw that the man's handsome and profound face was full of serious looks, his deep and dark eyes were fixed on himself, and he said sincerely and solemnly: "I can't sing a romantic tune with an inappropriate object, because... "
"Qi Mu, I don't like her."
The topic suddenly returned to where it started. Qi Mu's pupils dilated slightly. After a while, he sighed softly and said, "Min Chen... Actually, we are all very busy, and I can't go to Berlin for development. You It is also impossible to give up Bai Ai. Europe is very small, but sometimes it is very large, and many people can even get along day and night. Do you think... Is it really possible for us?"
"do you like me?"
The sudden words made Qi Mu stunned, and before he could react, a shadow shrouded his eyes.
The man completely blocked the hazy moonlight with his tall and straight body, put his hands on either side of Qi Mu's body, and looked down at him. This posture has a strong meaning, and more importantly, it makes Qi Mu feel that "this time I can't escape anymore".
It was also at this time that Qi Mu was a little surprised to find out—
He was half a head shorter than him.
It was the first time that Qi Mu looked at the man in front of him so closely. From the first time he heard the name "Min Chen", until last year when he officially met him, it was the first time he was so close. , so close that you can feel the warm breath of the other party.
Her cheeks flushed involuntarily, Qi Mu coughed lightly, and looked away with some concern: "Now is not the time to think about this issue... Min Chen, I have no chance to go to Berlin for development, and you will not be able to leave in the next ten years. Bai Ai, there is no time for us to get along, we…”
"do you like me?"
Min Chen repeated the question again, causing Qi Mu's voice to stop suddenly. After a long time, as if he finally understood what the other party meant, Qi Mu gave a bitter smile in his heart, then raised his head to meet the other party's attentive eyes, and said word by word, "I like you."
Yes, the answer is definitely like.
Otherwise, he wouldn't blushed when he heard that confession, and he wouldn't be able to escape for the next half month. Qi Mu has never been a hesitant person. If he doesn't like him, he will say it outright, precisely because he likes...
would not dare to answer.
These short four words made Qi Mu feel a lot more relaxed all of a sudden, but what he didn't realize was that the man who seemed calm but had been tensed all the time also breathed a sigh of relief. He lowered his eyes to look at the youth's delicate and beautiful facial features, and naturally he could clearly see the other party's hesitant and helpless expression.
Min Chen's eyes narrowed and he said, "As long as you like it... then there is no problem."
Qi Mu was stunned when he heard the words, and then subconsciously said: "But it should not be possible for me to develop in Berlin in the future. Min Chen, I don't want to be a solo violinist, I want to join the orchestra, I want to… "
"I can leave."
Qi Mu's voice stopped abruptly, his eyes widened in horror, and after a while, he whispered: "How can you leave? You have been commanding Bo Ai for almost ten years, you are only thirty-one years old this year, Bo Ai is to follow" If you don't die, don't say no, you can still hold the baton for more than 30 or 40 years!"
"It doesn't matter." Min Chen said calmly.
Qi Mu was anxious: "But that's Bai Ai!"
Seeing that the young man was so anxious that he was sweating, a warm current slowly surged in Min Chen's heart, he raised his thin lips calmly, and asked in a gentle tone, "What do you think... Carl Thomas How about it?"
Hearing this, Qi Mu was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "Mr. Carl? He is very good. Although he does not belong to any symphony orchestra, his strength is indeed very good. , why did you suddenly..." Qi Mu suddenly understood, he said in surprise: "You want to be the same as Mr. Carl?!"
At present, the four major conductors recognized in the world are Min Chen of Bo Ai, Eberk Dorenza of Wei Ai, Farrell Lewis of Germany, and Karl Thomas who is not affiliated with any symphony orchestra.
Min Chen raised his brows gracefully and asked, "Isn't it possible? Carl is so good."
Although I understand that Master Carl also has a very big reputation in the world music scene, and is the object of countless people's respect and worship, but I don't know how, once I think of this man leaving Bai Ai for himself, Qi Mu's heart begins to burst. pain and... guilt.
Since this man has already planned to do this...
So what else could he worry about
A calm smile suddenly appeared on the beautiful face of the young man Zhang Li. He raised his head to look at the man in front of him, and said in a threatening tone, "You are not allowed to leave Bai Ai." After a while, he added again: "It is not allowed because of I, leave Bai Ai."
Min Chen was stunned for a moment at such a "fierce" tone, and after a long time, he asked, "... what?"
"I don't want my lover to give up a career that has cemented him for ten years because of me."
Min Chen couldn't help frowning and said, "This is not giving up, I can be a free man like Carl..."
The voice stopped abruptly, and Min Chen suddenly realized what he had just heard. His sharp eyes widened suddenly, and after a while, there was even a trembling in his voice: "What did you just say... What?"
It was rare to see the other party's "unconfident" appearance, Qi Mu raised his eyebrows lightly, his eyes were full of smiles, and he repeated: "I said, I don't want my lover to give up his own because of my reasons..."
Suddenly being hugged by the other party forcefully, Qi Mu stopped his voice in a daze. He felt the other's strong arms tightly hugging his waist, the embrace was hot and warm, and the vigorous and vigorous heartbeat seemed to be contagious, making his heart beat slowly and quickly.
In his ear, he heard the other person exhale softly like this: "Qi Mu... I like you."
Having already understood how naive this man was, Qi Mu reluctantly reached out and patted the other's back, and nodded in a low voice, "Well... I like you too."
But the man still didn't give up and repeated: "I like you."
Qi Mu was speechless: "Yes, yes, I know you like me."
"I like you."
"… "
"I like you."
"… "
"I like you."
"… speak English!"
"Come back to Berlin with me."
"..." After being speechless for a moment, Qi Mu pushed the domineering man away and asked, "I just said yes, I can't go to Berlin to develop."
With a serious expression on his stern face, Min Chen said seriously, "It only takes one month, just one month... When Bai Ai's affairs are over this month, I will accompany you back to Paris, you can go anywhere you want."
Qi Mu: "..." Sighing softly, he said, "Mr. Akkad will be back next week. I'm going back to Paris, Min Chen."
"Ignore him."
Qi Mu: "...Can you stop being so naive?"
"I can teach you the violin." His dark eyes were full of seriousness and sincerity, and Min Chen said in a serious tone: "In Berlin, I will teach you the violin, I have a lot of time to teach you, I am more than Reed. Be patient."
Qi Mu: "...When you can play a Paganini's "The Bell" that satisfies me, I will consider making you my teacher." After a pause, he added quickly. Said: "It's playing on a violin!"
The light of hope that the man had just ignited was instantly annihilated: "..."
Under the warm and soft moonlight, Qi Mu looked at the man in front of him with pursed lips and bowed head, with a displeased expression. The three-dimensional and handsome facial features of the other party seemed a little soft in the dim light, but the slightly downcast eyes were still as deep as he remembered, as if they could not see the bottom.
The young man involuntarily reached out and stroked the man's face. Min Chen and Qi Mu were both startled by this sudden action. Just when Qi Mu subconsciously wanted to withdraw his hand, his right hand was suddenly pulled by the man. .
Qi Mu raised his head in surprise, but his eyes happened to fall into those deep black eyes. As if realizing what was going to happen next, Qi Mu couldn't help gulping. He wanted to break free from the other's hand, but he couldn't escape.
In the end, Qi Mu finally listened to the words that the faster and faster heart was pouring out of his chest. He gave up the struggle and slowly closed his eyes.
On the quiet dark street, a tall and tall man gently pulled the young man's wrist and slowly leaned down. But the latter did not resist at all, and greeted him as if emotionally.
All those who love each other need are the eyes of each other at that moment, and reason will be completely defeated by love.
Qi Mu seemed to be able to hear the thumping heartbeat in the other's chest, and he was even about to feel the man's exhalation. And in the next second—
"boom-"
"Pervert! Who are you! Who allowed you to touch our little seven!!!"
An angry roar completely dispelled Qi Mu's emotion just now. He immediately opened his eyes and saw the man standing in front of him also staring at him expressionlessly, with the petals of lily flowers on top of his head.
"Oh no... I have to speak German here... Don't care, pervert!! Who allows you to touch my little seven, let go of your dirty hands!" After saying this, it has been changed into English: " I'm going to call the police, don't run away, you pervert!"
While the other party was talking, he also used a large bunch of lilies to smash Min Chen's body hard, but Min Chen refused to let go of the hand that was tightly gripping Qi Mu's wrist, which made the roaring man even more angry.
"How come there are still such perverts in Europe! You... eh?! Mr. Min?!!!"
Qi Mu, who had been speechless for a long time, had nothing to say: "..."
With an expressionless face and a lily on his head, Min Chen said, "..."
