It just so happened that the clarinet player on the stage ended his performance. In the warm and loud applause, Du Sheng quickly came back from the backstage. He leaned into Tan Zhenghui's ear and whispered: "The second performer is performing. A student of Professor Carr, he wanted to be able to delay his performance sequence."
The thunderous applause almost covered Du Sheng's voice. Mr. Tan frowned and asked, "Should we postpone the order? Professor Carr didn't say such a thing when he recommended it, his student? Who is it?"
Du Sheng thought for a while and said, "It seems to be called... Sheng Yanhui?"
Qi Mu on the side was stunned.
Tan Zhenghui also widened his eyes in surprise, and subconsciously turned his head to look at Qi Mu who was on the side. The old man frowned, and after a long time he said, "You are also an acquaintance of Xiao Qi, why don't you go and see what's going on?"
Qi Mu naturally did not refuse, he nodded, then stood up, and walked towards the backstage. Tonight Qi Mu was wearing a light black suit. At this time, the spotlights in the concert hall were all focused on the stage, and it was naturally difficult for anyone to spot Qi Mu under the stage.
Walking backstage, Qi Mu frowned slightly. For some reason, a strange feeling emerged in his heart.
Qi Mu subconsciously looked back and saw that in the solemn and grand concert hall, everyone was attentively listening to the performance on the stage, and there was nothing unusual.
After laughing and scolding him for thinking too much, Qi Mu turned around and entered the backstage without looking back.
Not long after he entered, Qi Mu did not know that a foreigner with blond hair and blue eyes appeared in the direction of the gate he had just seen with a shy face. The man stepped into the concert hall under the guidance of the lady of manners who led the way. After a while, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and hurriedly turned around and stretched out his hand to pull behind the door.
But for a moment, a man with an unhappy face was pulled into the concert hall by him.
The hostess smiled and nodded, then turned to leave. And Daniel quietly leaned over and said in a low voice, "Min, aren't you late? We all left an hour early. Who would have known that Huaxia's road would be so blocked. Alas, there are so many people in Huaxia!"
Hearing this, Min Chen ignored Daniel again, he raised his head and looked around. There were not many people in the concert hall, and even counting the courtesans who were playing on the stage and standing around with polite smiles, there were only a few dozen people in total.
Min Chen soon realized that there was no object he was looking for in the audience today. He couldn't help frowning in surprise and asked in a low voice, "What about him? Is it already his solo performance?"
"He? What are you asking about... Qi Mu?" Daniel glanced at the repertoire in his hand, and said, "It's the third performer's trumpet solo now, if Qi Mu's words... there should be two more people, he is The fifth one." After a pause, Daniel smiled and bared his white teeth: "So we weren't too late, Min."
The walls of the concert hall are all white marble reliefs, and all kinds of exquisite carvings are engraved with some of the most outstanding works in the history of art. The wall columns are wrapped in gold-trimmed red wallpaper, which looks great to the touch, and the pale gold vine stripes outline a classic aesthetic.
People who come to such a more formal concert will be politely dressed in formal attire. Even Daniel, who has always had a big personality, wore a small white suit, and Min Chen inevitably wore a dark black suit.
This is an extremely low-key dress, only a certain character is tattooed on the chest with silver needles, symbolizing some kind of high-end logo. Listening to Daniel's words, Min Chen involuntarily raised his right hand to look at the watch on his wrist. An azure sapphire cufflink was shining in the light.
"How long have you been late?" Min Chen asked in a flat tone.
Daniel nodded as a matter of course: "Also... just three songs?" As soon as Daniel finished speaking, his eyes suddenly came into contact with Min Chen's. He shivered suddenly, and hurriedly raised his hands in surrender: "I Wrong, I was wrong, Auston, I don't dare to dawdle anymore! Let's go, let's take a seat at this time, and go!"
With that said, Daniel hurriedly ran to the two empty seats, not daring to look back at all.
At this moment, the entire audience was applauding for the trumpet performance just now. Occasionally one or two people who found Daniel's figure were speechless. When the man came here, he was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth!
Late, it's actually...
Min Chen? !
-------------
At this moment, Qi Mu, who had just arrived at the backstage, naturally did not know that there was already some confusion in the front court.
Everyone who is about to perform will go to the backstage in advance to prepare their instruments and do a little "warm-up". There are not many people, so he spotted Sheng Yanhui standing in the corner and tuning the bowstrings at a glance.
Qi Mu's lips curled into a smile, and she stepped forward and asked, "Sheng Yanhui? It's been two months since I haven't seen you for a long time? I didn't expect to see you here, what a coincidence."
Qi Mu's words were very skillful and polite, making it impossible for people to make mistakes. But as soon as he finished speaking, Sheng Yanhui raised his head and stared at him earnestly for a long time, until Qi Mu couldn't hold back the expression on his face, and suddenly said, "Unfortunately, I came to you on purpose. "
"… "
bad boy! Absolutely a bear boy!
Looking at Sheng Yanhui's "hmph, it's you" expression on his face at the moment, Qi Mu somehow thought of this term.
Although he felt extremely helpless in his heart, Qi Mu still asked with a wry smile, "Look for me?"
Sheng Yanhui nodded: "I'm here to find you this time, and I'm going to have another game with you! The last game... It doesn't count, this time, I hope you can show all your strength to fight with you. Don't worry, under the guidance of Mr. Carl, I have made a lot of progress, and it is definitely not what I used to be."
After saying this, the smile on Qi Mu's face gradually disappeared.
There was a dignified look on the fair and handsome face of the young man. He looked seriously at the stubborn bear boy in front of him for a long time, then suddenly bent down and said solemnly: "Sorry, for some reason... I really can't go. Munich, it was my fault last time, please forgive me."
Sheng Yanhui was so stunned that he took a step back, his face turned red and white, and after a while, he stammered: "You... you don't have to do this. I also heard the teacher mention it accidentally, and only then did I know that you had Let me on purpose. I know that everyone has their own difficulties, but in fact... Qi Mu, after listening to the teacher's words, I actually felt a little lucky."
Qi Mu raised his head in surprise, a dazed look flashed in his light-colored eyes.
"If you didn't lose on purpose, then I... I might never be able to go to Munich in my life. I'm really old, and if I lose another chance, I don't know when the next chance will be. I'm very lucky, but I I feel that there is no way to win. So today I deliberately delayed the performance sequence and performed the performance in front of you, so that all the audience present will give us a judgment!"
At the end of the day, Sheng Yanhui has become more and more confident, and he no longer seems to be shrinking.
But Qi Mu was completely stunned, and looked at him in disbelief. After a long time, he asked, "Are you... sure?"
The participants in this small concert are all well-known people in the industry, and their ears cannot go wrong. Therefore, usually in such concerts, the organizers will deliberately separate the performances of the same instruments, so as to avoid the audience's contrast.
Sheng Yanhui nodded solemnly: "I know this is a bit of a threat to you, but Qi Mu, I'm going to Munich with my teacher soon, I hope... I can have a decent game with you! This is indeed a little risky, if you really I don't want to, I can go on stage now and don't talk to you about the game anymore."
Sheng Yanhui spoke solemnly, and Qi Mu also understood what he meant.
Once the loser, it is very difficult to be ahead of the other in the world. Unless the level is really much higher, many years later, when someone mentions the two again, some people will still remember this concert, let’s talk about it. A sentence "Oh so-and-so, he played much worse than so-and-so".
Therefore, Sheng Yanhui also said that even if Qi Mu rejected his invitation to the competition, he would never complain.
Looking at the serious and dignified expression of the other party, for a long time, Qi Mu slowly raised the corners of his lips and showed a smile: "I promise you."
Sheng Yanhui was stunned for a moment: "Really?" After thinking about it, he quickly said: "This is in front of many important people, are you sure you really agreed to compete with me? If you lose, you... "
"Are you sure I'll lose?" Qi Mu raised an eyebrow, his handsome face suddenly turned back to the earth, that smile made Sheng Yanhui stunned, only to hear Qi Mu laugh again: "What happened last time? It's my fault to keep you brooding all the time, if not for this time, I don't think you will forget this knot even when you arrive in Munich, so this time it's probably what Professor Carr suggested to you, right?"
Sheng Yanhui was stunned: "How do you know..."
Hearing that his guess was right, the smile on Qi Mu's face became even more prosperous, and he sighed: "No matter what the result is this time, Sheng Yanhui, I hope you can come out sooner. Real music doesn't have to be contested. You're amazing, the future you've got shouldn't be tied down by little things like that."
While talking, Qi Mu suddenly stretched out his hand and smiled and rolled his eyes: "Anyway, I'm very happy to have the opportunity to officially compete with you, let's get to know each other again."
"Hello Sheng Yanhui, I am your opponent tonight - Qi Mu."
Under the dazzling and warm lighting in the background, the handsome young man had a dazzling smile on his beautiful face.
Sheng Yanhui has been learning the piano for more than 20 years. For the first time, he felt that his hand did not obey his control. After a long time, he raised his hand and shook Qi Mu's. Until he left the backstage with the piano and stood on the stage ready to play, Sheng Yanhui suddenly came back to his senses and subconsciously turned to look in the direction of the backstage.
As if inspired by something, Sheng Yanhui took a deep breath and let it out slowly.
Then, the gentle sound of music like spring water slowly flowed out, filling the small concert hall with a peaceful atmosphere of the idyllic countryside. This Beethoven's "Spring Sonata" seems to be a gentle spring breeze, slowly blowing away the coldness of the autumn day and blowing into the hearts of everyone present.
Even Daniel couldn't help smiling and nodding. At the end of the whole song, he leaned into Min Chen's ear and whispered, "Huaxia is really talented, Min, this Sheng will also... Damn what's the name of this, his "" "Spring" is well drawn. Emin, where are you looking?"
Daniel looked towards Min Chen's line of sight, but he could only see Sheng Yanhui's back faintly in the background, completely unaware of what happened. Daniel touched his head and frowned, "What's the matter, Min, how are you..."
"He blushed."
Daniel was taken aback: "Blushing? Who is it?"
The narrow and handsome phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and Min Chen said lightly, "Sheng Yanhui."
Daniel is really confused. He doesn't quite understand why Min pays so much attention to this young man, and of course he doesn't know. Just before Sheng Yanhui entered the backstage, Min Chen looked at the man standing behind the curtain. The young man opened his eyes in surprise.
Sheng Yanhui was talking to... Qi Mu before playing
Why is he blushing
After nearly 30 years of living, Min Chen felt lost for the first time. But he didn't give him a chance to think again. A figure walking out of the backstage holding a violin made him widen his eyes in surprise, and slowly figured out some things in his mind.
Daniel exclaimed: "How could it be Qi Mu?! This is the end of one violin, and another one?!"
