When Qi Mu and Master Julie left Wei Ai together that night, the two had just left the subway entrance, and the warm and humid spring breeze in March was blowing from the Danube River, with a refreshing smell like running water.
There were not many pedestrians on the spacious and clean street. Qi Mu walked around an intersection and saw the top floor of the apartment from a distance.
On the blue Danube, dozens of cargo ships are slowly driving, coming and going from afar, as if to symbolize a cycle. As Qi Mu walked forward with the violin in hand, he remembered Min Chen's phone call this afternoon.
It's coming tomorrow...
Qi Mu thought to himself.
Before he thought about anything, he heard Master Julie's voice with a smile: "Xiao Qi, the weather today is really good. After the spring rain yesterday, I didn't expect the temperature to rise so much. Does the weather in Vienna always change so fast?"
As April is approaching, at this time Vienna is no longer cold in winter, even if the collar of the coat is opened, it will not feel cold at all.
Hearing Julie's emotion, Qi Mu smiled and nodded: "Yes, Julie, Vienna is a city with four distinct seasons, its winter is not as cold as Berlin, and spring comes earlier than Berlin. I think you already feel Are you here yet?"
Hearing this, Julie opened her coat slightly. She is obviously over fifty, but when this handsome and handsome lady wears such a young and foreign coat, it does not make people feel a little awkward, but feels very harmonious, as if it should be so.
"Speaking of Berlin, I am reminded of the fact that you and Tuckerman came to Berlin to invite me more than a month ago. Oh, that seems to have been a long time ago. I have been in Vienna for more than a month now. what!"
After a pause, Julie pretended to look casually at the handsome young man beside her, her eyes were deep, and she said in a serious tone, "I remember you came to my house with Auston, Xiao Qi, you and Auston. Are you familiar?"
Not noticing the solemnity in Julie's voice, Qi Mu remembered the man she hadn't seen for more than a month.
In fact, if Min Chen wanted to come to Vienna every once in a while as before, there would be no problem, but Qi Mu really didn't have time to spare and communicate with him.
During these days, Qi Mu had already compressed his daily sleep to the six hours required for his mental state, and it was even more impossible for him to ask for leave to visit each other in Berlin—after all, he wanted to get acquainted with Wei Ai's affairs faster and better, so that he could get to know him sooner. Take the load from Mr. Anthony.
When he thought that the man was coming to Vienna tomorrow, Qi Mu couldn't help but feel a little softer in his heart, and even less defensive. There was a nostalgic smile on the fair and delicate face of the young man, and the corners of his lips curled up. He said softly, "Min Chen and I have known each other since the year before, and we are quite familiar with each other."
The young man's gentle expression made Master Julie's eyes widen all of a sudden. She quickly concealed the surprise on her face, and in the next second, she smiled calmly: "Bai Ai will start the tour in a few days. I remember that the first stop seems to be Vienna, right? We can meet him at that time. Get together."
Hearing this, Qi Mu realized that it turned out that Master Zhu Li didn't know that he had been living in Min Chen's house.
After a moment, Qi Mu understood that it was probably Min Chen's mother who forgot to say this when she lent the house. This is also a good thing, he doesn't have to explain why he lives in Min Chen's house. By the way... No wonder, it has been more than a month, and Master Julie has not asked him why he lived in Min Chen's house.
When they communicated again, Qi Mu paid a little attention and didn't reveal any other information. However, the experienced Julie had already seen something, but she still pretended to laugh and talked to Qi Mu without making him suspicious.
When the two walked to Julie's door, Qi Mu smiled and said, "See you tomorrow morning, Julie."
But at this time, the dignified and generous lady slowly removed the smile on her face, looked at the young man in front of her with a complex and helpless look for a long time, and then smiled again: "Xiao Qi, I have I didn't tell you... In fact, you are very good at lying."
This sentence made Qi Mu stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer.
"Xiao Qi, since I participated in the feminist movement at the age of seventeen, because of my busy career and organization, I have no time to care about love, and I have never been married. For me, the piano is my lover, and Auston is my child. I've watched him grow up, but I can't see through him more and more. However, Xiao Qi... I can see through you."
"You look very capable and cautious, but you are actually a pure-hearted child. I said a month ago that you are a lovely child, except for Auston, you are the cutest child in the world. But now I gradually feel that you are cuter than Auston."
Qi Mu's fingers trembled slightly, he already understood something.
I saw this elegant and calm lady smiled and nodded at him, and then said softly: "Xiao Qi, I'm very happy, the person you chose is Auston. A child like you either completely distrusts him, or Just trust people completely. I know Auston very well, he's a good boy, and although he may seem a little cold and distant on the outside, he will be very good to you."
"I don't have children, Auston is my child, and now I'm so happy to have a lovely child like you!"
"Xiao Qi, from the bottom of my heart... I wish you all!"
When the words fell, Julie stretched out her hands and gave a hug.
Facing the embrace of this great woman, Qi Mu was stunned for a moment, and then an overwhelming warmth flooded into her heart. He couldn't help but have a good impression of such a tolerant lady, and then he couldn't help walking forward to get this warm hug!
"Julie… thank you."
Gently caressing the lovely young man in his arms, even if Qi Mu is a head taller than Julie, Julie seems to be a gentle and kind elder who caresses her child.
After a long while, she quietly approached Qi Mu's ear and whispered, "Since you don't want to disclose it for the time being, you naturally have your own ideas. Don't worry, I won't tell Anna about this, although I think she I will love you very much…”
Qi Mu was stunned for a moment, then nodded lightly.
Analia Bertram is the name of Min Chen's mother. She also has a Chinese name called Min Sijing.
Although this world-renowned photographer has the word "quiet" in his name, he is happy to run around the world with wonderful beauty to take magnificent and moving photos, and he can't stand still for a moment.
Qi Mu had never met this lady, and even Min Chen said that his mother would only be in Berlin during Christmas and China during Chinese New Year, otherwise even if someone said, "Now the Bertram couple are in the Followed and photographed the group of maned dogs on the African savannah!" Min Chen couldn't deny it.
Thinking of this fiery future mother-in-law... Well, it's the future mother-in-law, and Qi Mu felt a deep sense of powerlessness. There are rumors that this lady has inexhaustible energy, and even Auston Bertram is afraid of her, so you can imagine...
What a "terrible" lady this is.
After saying goodbye to Julie, Qi Mu told Min Chen about it. Min Chen didn't worry too much about Julie, and even asked, "Are you afraid to meet my family?"
Qi Mu coughed dryly and said stiffly, "Isn't there a rumor that, ahem... that your mother is very courageous?"
"… courage?"
"Uh, it's very imposing."
"… momentum?"
"… "
With a long sigh, Min Chen said helplessly, "Where did you hear the rumor?"
"...In the whole world, everyone who has heard the name 'Min Sijing'."
Min Chen said solemnly: "Three people become tigers, rumors are terrible."
Qi Mu was startled: "You actually use an idiom!"
“… I am very good in Chinese.”
"Is there anyone like you, who just spoke German and suddenly switched to Chinese?"
The voice on the other side of the phone was silent for a while, and then it sounded with a smile: "Qi Mu, I like a sentence of Chinese very much. I like it more than any language in the world. When I first came into contact with it, I was in Think, how can there be such a beautiful language in the world."
This man seldom said such long words, Qi Mu was stunned for a moment, and then chuckled: "You have another saying that you like? What is it?"
"That sentence is..."
"I love you."
Three short words, with sincerity that cannot be rejected, rang in the quiet room. Qi Mu's light-colored eyes gradually widened. In the end, he didn't even know how to describe the soft and greasy feeling in his heart. He could only use these words to express it...
"Min Chen, has anyone ever said... You are good at telling love stories?"
The man on the other side of the phone showed his answer directly with actions: "No. Because, I only say love words to the people I love."
"I originally planned to allow you to spend a few nights in the study after you arrive in Vienna tomorrow. Now I think about it... Well, I'll give you permission to go back to the bedroom, so be safe."
On the other end of the phone, the man laughed in a low voice. Even if he couldn't see the other person's face clearly, Qi Mu could imagine that the rare starry sky in Berlin must be reflected in those deep and dark eyes, so dazzling it made him miss him. .
Only Min Chen's sigh-like voice sounded: "Yes, my little prince."
