"Excuse me, are you Qi Mu?"
In the splendid Renaissance-style lobby, a dazzling six-story crystal lamp hangs down from the top, illuminating the entire lobby. The ground is covered with milky white printed tiles. Now, under the bright light, the halo of countless crystal flakes is reflected like a mirror.
Suddenly hearing his name, Qi Mu subconsciously turned his head to look at the person who came.
It was a sweet and gentle female voice, speaking fluent German, which sounded behind Qi Mu. German has always been a relatively obscure language, and few people can speak it as eloquently as the other.
When Qi Mu turned his head and saw the person coming, his eyes suddenly froze when he touched the other person, and a look of surprise and surprise appeared on the surface. After being stunned for a while, Qi Mu subconsciously turned his head to look at Min Chen, and then turned to look at the girl. After looking back and forth three or four times, he swallowed his saliva and didn't know how to react.
This girl has a look as soft and quiet as her voice, wearing a light brown dress, all her blond hair is combed back, and it is very obediently attached to her scalp, revealing a plump white hair. forehead.
Actually... None of these surprises Qi Mu, after all, even if this girl is really pretty and beautiful, Qi Mu is not a good-looking party.
What really shocked him was the girl's eyes. They were a pair of azure blue eyes, so clear that they could see the bottom at a glance, especially the narrow and cold eyes, so familiar that Qi Mu couldn't fully describe when he saw these eyes. , the feeling of astonishment.
These eyes... they look like Min Chen!
After thinking for a while, Qi Mu decided to take a half step back and let the two see each other's appearance.
The position where Qi Mu stood just now was a corner. He was blocking the node of the corner, while Min Chen had already walked out of the corner and the girl was behind the corner. Therefore, if Qi Mu was standing between the two of them, the two would It is very possible that people cannot see each other.
Just half a second after he stepped aside, he heard two unanimous voices—
"Liz?!"
"Auston?!"
------
Cafe, night.
The peaceful and soothing blues sounded in the quiet and warm coffee shop. Such gentle music seemed to be a hoarse female voice chanting in a low voice, so that everyone in the coffee shop could not help but lower their voices and whispered about their own topics. .
This cafe is too close to the building of the Friends of Music Association, so Qi Mu often comes here to taste delicious coffee after the band rehearses. So he took these two people into the box of the cafe, and ordered a pot of Blue Mountain.
Even in the box, the girl Min Chen called "Liz" didn't take off her top hat. She bowed down to thank Qi Mu politely, and then gently took the coffee cup he handed over, her fingers were slender and beautiful, and it was really eye-catching when touching the handle of the white porcelain cup.
Qi Mu smiled gently and asked, "Miss Liz, have you practiced the piano too? Your hands are very beautiful, it seems that you were born to play the piano!"
The gentle and quiet girl shook her head gently and replied softly, "I didn't learn an instrument like Auston did, thank you for your compliment."
To be honest, Qi Mu had never seen such an elegant, graceful and gentle lady. A true ladylike temperament does not require verbal conversation at all. When this young girl stood in front of Qi Mu, she did everything flawlessly, whether it was the curvature of her smile or the angle of her bending.
Qi Mu shook his head and said, "You don't need to use my honorific title, just treat me as the same as Min Chen." After a pause, he added, "Can I call you Liz directly?"
No matter how mature, this is only a sixteen-year-old girl after all. A gleam of joy flashed in Liz's eyes, she nodded lightly, and said, "Okay, you can call me Liz, then... Can I be Xiao Qi?"
Qi Mu said as a matter of course: "Yes, my friends call me that."
After chatting a few more words, the original rustling gradually disappeared, this beautiful and lovely girl slowly blushed and said softly: "Actually, Xiao Qi, I like your "E Minor" very much, if you It would be great to be able to play "E Minor" again. But... Although the last few concerts you played with Wei Ai didn't have "E Minor", I also liked them very much!"
Hearing this, Qi Mu said in surprise, "You actually like my music?"
"Yes! I like your music very much, Xiao Qi! Your piano sound is very beautiful and elegant, like a dark purple cornflower, optimistic, strong and full of hope! I really like it!"
"It was my pleasure..."
"No, Xiao Qi, it's my luck to hear your piano, I really..."
Min Chen, who was left out for ten minutes: "..."
After a long while, seeing that the girl had gradually moved his youth, and even the distance between the two was almost a fist, Min Chen finally couldn't help putting down the coffee cup in his hand and coughed softly. , said: "Liz, why are you suddenly..."
"Brother Auston, please don't disturb me talking to Xiao Qi!"
Min Chen, who was trained on his face: "..."
Say good lady style! Don't think adding a "please" is enough! ! ! !
During the gradual conversation, Qi Mu learned that the girl's name was Liz von Bertram, and she was the second heir to the title of the next Duke of Bertram - next to her father, Min Chen's Uncle.
As one of the four largest duke families in Germany, when the current owner of the Bertram family married a Huaxia wife, the family was in chaos, and even the Duke Bertram was reprimanded.
There is no other reason, it is because the old man from Huaxia asked so indignantly when the Duke proposed: "It's okay to marry you, a foreign devil, but in the future your child must be surnamed Min, from China!!! Hmph! !"
The Duke of Bertram, who dotes on his wife, definitely agrees with it. Isn't it because the children in the future will enter the Chinese nationality and have the surname Min? This is not a problem! As long as you can marry your own baby, go up the Knife Mountain, go down the volcano, it is all within your grasp, without any hesitation!
Therefore, after Min Chen was born, he directly entered the Chinese nationality and took a Chinese name.
As for who will inherit the Bertram family? The duke had also considered it, and he waved his arm: "Dear brother, I believe you will give birth to an excellent and outstanding heir for our family!"
Mr. Bertram, who just graduated from college: "… "
In this way, when Min Chen was eighteen years old, his uncle got a lovely little daughter named "Liz".
As soon as Liz was born, it was really loved by the whole family. Even the Duke of Bertram, who took pictures in a foreign country, seemed to have devoted infinite favor to the little princess and often gave her to her. Bring some souvenirs and toys.
When Liz was five or six years old and started to have her own thoughts, Min Chen had become the chief conductor of the Berlin Philharmonic, leading the world's top orchestra to perform various performances.
With such a wonderful cousin, who wouldn't like it? Well, Liz is no exception.
Unfortunately…
"Brother Auston, can I... play the piano with you?"
"I'm very busy, let's play with building blocks by yourself."
"… "
"Brother Auston, I went to listen to Bai Ai's New Year's concert, it was really good!"
"Oh, thanks."
"… "
"Brother Auston, can I go to your apartment to play with you?"
The handsome and elegant man finally put down the information in his hand, raised his eyes and glanced at the little princess: "Liz, are you busy?"
Ten-year-old girl: "… "
"Come on, let's play with the blocks by yourself."
Liz, who has not played with building blocks for many years: "..."
So, when sixteen-year-old Liz Bertram appeared in front of Min Chen, he had no idea that his cousin would appear here. What surprised him even more was that his cousin, who had been educated by a lady since childhood and who stood in front of Zhuang Wenjing in front of him, seemed to have completely let go of her nature when she was in front of the young man, and even dared to talk back to him!
… Well, it’s important to speak back.
Seeing that the young man and the girl had been chatting more and more happily, and it seemed that there was no place for him in the whole box, Min Chen's eyes narrowed, and he lowered his voice and said, "Liz, if I remember correctly, you should be there now. Go to school? How did you get out of Deretto Girls' School?"
The girl pursed her lips and said, "It's already Christmas vacation, Auston, you still don't care about me at all."
Min Chen: "..."
Such a lively, cheerful and harmonious conversation (excluding Min Chen) lasted for half an hour before it gradually subsided.
Qi Mu raised his eyes and glanced at the sullen man beside him. The corners of his lips were slightly raised, and he understood that it was indeed time to get to the point, so he smiled and asked, "Liz, you came to me today... just want to say Do you like my music?"
When it came to this topic, Liz was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Actually, it's Aunt Anna. I hope I can help her take a look."
Hearing this, let alone Qi Mu, even Min Chen was slightly stunned.
Liz raised her head and thought about it carefully, and then said: "Aunt Anna told me this: 'Min Chen, it's incredible to hear that you have a child you like! But my father and I I'm playing with cute and strong kangaroos in Australia recently, so I'll go back to Germany to find you at Christmas time... well, and your cute little boyfriend. But I didn't expect you to find someone you like? It's really It's amazing that a child would like ice cubes like yours? Liz, help me send a message to that child and thank him, he's worked so hard!'"
Min Chen: "..."
Qi Mu: "...Pfft."
