As the night fell, only two lights were lit in the quiet and spacious cafe, illuminating the corners.
At this time, the staff in the Bai Ai Building were almost gone, but Qi Mu and Min Chen were not in a hurry. After lunch, the two ordered another cup of simple self-service coffee and sat together by the floor-to-ceiling windows of the cafe, not far from the gorgeous night view of Berlin.
From the direction in the cafe, you can see the beautiful Brandenburg Gate in the dark from a distance. The Goddess of Victory held a bronze scepter high, drove a four-horse chariot, and galloped away in a dignified manner. Countless lights illuminate this majestic building, shining brightly even in the dark night.
Qi Mu shook the spoon in the coffee cup and retracted his gaze, he smiled and looked at the man opposite, and said, "I remember when I came to Berlin last summer, some people said something under the Brandenburg Gate. …Well, Daniel didn’t get a hotel room? You always wronged Daniel, do you dare to change your partner?”
After nearly a year, his lie was exposed, but Min Chen didn't feel any guilt, but raised his eyebrows calmly and said, "Who can be replaced?"
Qi Mu: "...It seems that there is really only Daniel?"
Min Chen smiled and hooked his lips: "Well, that's all Daniel's fault."
Having already been defeated by this guy's thick skin, Qi Mu said directly, "I bought pendants in Brussels and Manchester for this tour." After speaking, he raised his hand and shook the silver chain on his wrist, "Wait. I'll put it on for you later. Oh, by the way, you should have bought it too, right?"
"Well, I put it at home. I'll put it on for you when I get home."
Putting down the white porcelain coffee cup in his hand, Min Chen fixed his eyes on the young man in front of him. Those eyes were deep and distant, probably because of the mixed blood, and there was a hint of blue when he looked closely. He just watched, but didn't speak.
The long stare made Qi Mu salivate uncomfortably, and then smiled: "You're not curious... Why did I come suddenly?"
Min Chen's handsome face was calm: "I'm not curious."
Qi Mu asked in surprise, "Why?"
"Because..." deliberately lengthening the tone, Min Chen said with a light smile, "I'm so happy, I don't want to be curious anymore."
Qi Mu felt that his ears were hot, he put his hand to cover his lips, coughed heavily, and then raised his voice: "Okay, do you know Julie came back this morning? She told me last night that the last time I met with After Mr. Tuckerman returned to Vienna, you went to her and asked her to take care of me."
A dim light flashed quickly in his dark eyes, and Min Chen said calmly, "You are moved, you miss me so much, so you came here." His tone was definitely firm, and his voice was decisive.
Qi Mu: "...Actually, you only need to say the first sentence."
Raising his brows gracefully, Min Chen's thin lips curled slightly: "So you're still moved?"
What's the trick to dealing with a cheeky person? Of course he is even thicker than him!
I saw Qi Mu snorted calmly and asked: "I'm not moved by this trivial matter, I'm just thinking... When you went to find Julie, did you get a good training from her again? I think Think, is she sitting on the sofa with you, recalling how you were bubbling up your nose when you were a kid, hugging your thighs for candy?"
Min Chen: "..."
With a puff of laughter, Qi Mu said, "To be honest, I really can't imagine what you would look like when you were young, so let me take a look at your childhood photos? Well... just one, just one. ."
"Want to see Little Auston?"
Qi Mu: "..."
"Well, go back and take a look at it at night."
Under the dim and warm lights of the cafe, I saw that the handsome and handsome young man raised the corners of his lips with a smile after being molested to the extreme, and said calmly, "Yes, you can go back and watch it at night, but... Xiao Ao Ston is really too young to hold his thigh and ask for candy." Then he repeated it with disgust: "Well, it's too small."
Hearing this, Min Chen, whose male dignity had been severely hit, turned black in an instant, stood up and pulled the young man away.
Qi Mu: "..."
Although he couldn't complain at all, "This guy is too easily provoked", but Qi Mu went downstairs with Min Chen and drove out of the Boai Building.
Qi Mu once walked this road leading to Min Chen's apartment. Tall and straight plane trees were planted on both sides of the road, and the dense shade of the trees blocked half of the road. The dim yellow street lights on both sides of the street passed through the window glass and shone into the car.
Qi Mu looked at the man who was still sulking with amusement, only to see that under the light of the light, the handsome features of the other party appeared more three-dimensional.
After pondering for a while, Qi Mu said tentatively, "Actually... it's not too small?"
Min Chen let out a cold snort from his nose.
"Okay okay, just averagely small."
Min Chen: "...!!!!"
Qi Mu clearly felt that the speed of the car increased a bit, but he rarely wanted to comfort the man who suddenly became cautious. His gaze swept across the other's high browbones, long and narrow phoenix eyes, and tightly pursed lips, and when he saw the silver chain that the other party wore on his wrist, Qi Mu stopped his gaze and remained motionless for a long time. .
The smile on his lips gradually faded, and Qi Mu looked at the bracelet with several pendants on it with a complicated expression.
After a long time, when a green light came on and Min Chen had just started the car, Qi Mu asked in a low voice, "Min Chen, what is your first impression of me... what is it?"
Not noticing the young man's strange expression, not even hearing the low words clearly, Min Chen asked, "What?"
At this moment, Qi Mu raised the corners of his lips with a smile and said, "I said, what was your first impression of me when you first saw me?"
Without any hesitation, Min Chen replied directly: "Very talented, very talented, with a strong sense of sound, and has the potential to become a first-class conductor." After a pause, he added: "I thought about accepting it. You are a student."
Obviously not thinking of this answer, Qi Mu was slightly stunned: "Accept me as a student?"
Min Chen affirmed: "Yes, I will accept you as a student. You have a very strong sense of sound, and there are many people who have become conductors from the beginning of the violin, and Faller is one of them. Although I am not good at the violin, I can still be your conductor. A teacher." But you don't want to be a conductor.
In the second half of the sentence, Min Chen didn't say it, it was just a red light. He just stepped on the brakes when he heard a low and pleasant voice from a young man beside him: "Then you know, Min Chen... This is the first time I've seen him. You seem to be more than ten years ago. At that time, you were still a free pianist. You held your own solo recital in the Golden Hall. You know my first impression of you is what?"
Min Chen couldn't remember exactly what happened more than ten years ago. At this moment, he turned his head to look at the young man beside him with interest, and asked in a low voice, "Think... I'm handsome?"
Qi Mu: "...I really want to hit you."
Taking advantage of the long red light time, Min Chen smiled lightly, took the young man's hand and gently touched his cheek, and said, "Well, I'll hit you."
This action was too gentle and ambiguous. The hot temperature of the man's palm was transmitted from the skin of his fingers, and soon spread to Qi Mu's body. Qi Mu looked at the man with a faint smile and hooked lips in front of him with complicated eyes. He didn't know how to describe his mood at the moment, but he understood...
If he can't even believe this person, then who else in this world can believe
Closing his eyes, Qi Mu finally let go of the last trace of grudge in his heart. While Min Chen was still holding Qi Mu's hand, he had already stepped on the accelerator and started to drive without finding any abnormality.
The light from outside the window shone into the car, flickering on and off, illuminating the fair and handsome face of the young man.
He sighed deeply, feeling the scorching temperature in this person's palm, Qi Mu seemed to muster up all his courage and asked with all his strength, "Min Chen, we attended the Ocean Music Festival together in Hong Kong City. You used to say that you had a violinist you really liked, and he... passed away."
The man's tall and straight body froze suddenly, Qi Mu clearly felt his fingers stiffen for a moment, and then quickly recovered.
Slowly inserting between his fingers along the other side's fingers, Qi Mu tightly held the man's hand, interlocking his fingers, so tight that there was almost no gap.
At this moment, he stared at the man beside him with solemn and serious eyes, and asked word by word, "Can I... Know his name? Min Chen."
A long silence appeared in the quiet carriage. At such a moment, it seemed that even the sound of wind whistling through the window had become a foil. Qi Mu quietly listened to his thumping heartbeat and looked at him without blinking. man next to him.
Time passed so slowly that it seemed like a century had passed. Just when Qi Mu thought that the other party would not answer, he heard a low sigh from Min Chen's throat. His eyes were still fixed on the front, but he replied, "His name is—"
"Lu Ziwen."
