After Qi Feng unilaterally agreed to perform and dragged Ling Ke into the water together, the counselor in the department met with them once again to talk about the welcome party.
Although the party is in the name of welcoming new students, in terms of scale and meaning, it is almost equivalent to the school art festival.
Therefore, they not only represented themselves and the freshmen on stage, but also represented the entire School of Journalism and Communication. The counselor hopes that they will seize the opportunity and perform well.
These high-sounding remarks made the two of them feel that the responsibility was heavy, and Ling Ke could only take it seriously.
The Minister of Literature and Art is an activist, and arranged a piano room for them to practice on the second day after finding them.
On the day they got the keys to the piano room, Ling Ke and Qi Feng went for a walk first, intending to try the piano to get a feel for it.
F University does not have a conservatory of music and music-related research majors, but the large campus will not have a piano. The ground floor of the school hall is specially equipped with four or five piano rooms. It is said that it is for some school performances and some people who like to play the piano. Prepared by professors, not open to students.
Probably for privacy, the piano rooms are small enclosed spaces, less than half the size of their dormitories.
There is an upright piano against the wall, a small table for personal belongings, a small wall-mounted bookshelf above the table, a few piano scores, plus a stool, other than that Nothing else.
In such a small room of less than six square meters, it's okay to come in alone, but now two big boys are squeezed together, and the two suddenly feel a little cramped.
And the soundproofing of the piano room is very good. As soon as the door is closed, the two can only hear each other's breathing.
… which is embarrassing.
Privacy, soundproofing, co-existing in the same room... Ling Ke couldn't help but start to make up some colourful things in his mind.
God knows how much effort he has spent these days to recover to the mentality of "loving whoever" before seeing Qi Feng, but now, locked in such a small room face to face with Qi Feng, he was instantly beaten back to his original shape!
He still couldn't resist Qi Feng's natural attraction to him...
"Uh, this room is quite small." Especially when Qi Feng's magnetic voice sounded in his ears, the epidermal cells on Ling Ke's body rebelled collectively, and one by one shivered with excitement.
He opened the piano bench resignedly, and started the all-round system of disguising straight men again.
A piano bench is seventy-five centimeters long. Although it is enough for two people, it is still a little narrow for two 18-year-olds with mature bodies.
Qi Feng may have also thought about this, and said to Ling Ke, "You try it first?" After speaking, he sat on the small square stool next to him.
This made Ling Ke feel a little more relaxed.
Playing the piano is not only a technical task, but also a technical task that requires regular practice. If you don't play for a few days, you will be born, and if you don't play for a long time, no matter how good your previous skills are, it is basically a handicap.
If it weren't for Ling Ke's more than ten years of piano practice experience, he really couldn't guarantee that he could practice a piece that could be put on stage within two weeks, not to mention playing in ensemble with others.
He casually talked about Chuanhanon's fingering practice, and his fingers quickly alternated from the bass to the soprano.
I haven't played for two months, and my fingers are a little stiff.
Ling Ke bounced back and forth for two rounds, and after trying almost all the eighty-eight keys, he tilted his head and said to Qi Feng: "This, the rebound is a little bit awkward..." He pressed the E key in the large-character group of the bass. He added, "Yamaha's piano sounds are pretty good."
Maybe it's been a long time since it's been used and it needs to be tuned, but it's enough for practice.
"Stop auditioning, just play one and listen to it." Qi Feng smiled at him.
Ling Ke's heart skipped a beat, looked back at the keyboard, pondered for a while, and pressed the key.
Qi Feng listened to it for a while, and soon realized that it was Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata". This piece is very classic, and he played it for a while when he was a child.
It can be seen that Ling Ke has a good foundation, but... a little lack of acting sense.
It may be related to his childhood learning. When Qi Feng learned the piano, he received the guidance of a professional pianist, and he paid more attention to the sense of rhythm and emotional input on the basis of playing smoothly.
While listening in trance, the sound of the piano suddenly changed, becoming... another piece of music.
Qi Feng was stunned for a moment. It was a little strange. He played it well, why did he suddenly change to "Improvisation Sonata"
Ling Ke played with an expressionless face, but his heart was up and down.
He knew the temptation was kind of stupid, but he couldn't help it...
He wanted to remind Qi Feng to recall the ensemble five years ago by repeating the repertoire from that year.
However, when he turned his head to look at Qi Feng after playing, he saw that the other party was intoxicated, but there was no other expression.
After Qi Feng came back to his senses, he also seriously expressed his opinion: "This impromptu song of yours is much better than the previous one, it's very tense."
Ling Ke raised his eyebrows... gone
Qi Feng thought about it for a while, and then said: "The Moonlight Song is also very good. I feel that you have a solid foundation. You can memorize these songs. I guess you have to read the score."
Ling Ke lowered his eyes and didn't speak again. The result of the test was obviously disappointing to him, but he couldn't show it.
Originally, he thought that if Qi Feng remembered, talking about the events five years ago, he would say: Oh, I happened to be there too.
Then Qi Feng will know that they have already met...
What an exciting development this is.
… now it’s all gone.
Qi Feng, this idiot, really completely forgot about him.
Ling Ke sighed in his heart, and then the two exchanged positions for Qi Feng to play.
Qi Feng picked out a ballad, which Ling Ke had never heard before, but from the perspective of difficulty in playing, there was no exaggerated playing skills, and it was so simple that Ling Ke could play it out after listening to it a few times.
After Qi Feng finished playing, he turned his head eagerly to wait for Ling Ke's evaluation, but Ling Ke gave three words lightly: "Not bad."
Although Qi Feng was very devoted and it sounded really nice, it couldn't impress Ling Ke, who was a colleague, and because he had just been hit so hard, he couldn't give Qi Feng an overly enthusiastic attitude.
After a strange silence, Qi Feng asked embarrassingly, "Then what repertoire should we play?"
Ling Ke frowned, and after thinking about it, he felt unwilling to give up, and reminded: "Do you have any other musical instruments besides the piano?"
In fact, he really wanted to ask Qi Feng directly if you could play the violin.
But he couldn't. If he asked that, it would reveal the fact that he had met Qi Feng and remembered him for so many years.
Qi Feng said calmly: "No, I only learned the piano."
Ling Ke was a little stunned.
Although he knew that Qi Feng had a twin brother, Qi Feng said that his brother had been abroad all the time, so he didn't even doubt whether the person he met five years ago was Qi Feng himself.
Hearing Qi Feng say "no", Ling Ke only had a sudden depression, disappointment, and a sense of annoyance that he had been deceived.
- He obviously can play the violin, why did he lie to himself that he didn't
Noticing Ling Ke's gloomy expression, Qi Feng was also inexplicably flustered, and he asked uncomfortably, "Do you think... I'm not good at playing the piano?"
Ling Ke immediately said, "No."
Qi Feng: "..."
The air froze again, and the two of them didn't even know what to say for a while.
Originally, when the two were together, it was always Qi Feng who warmed up the scene, while Ling Ke was a little bit colder, but under normal circumstances, it would not make it difficult for people to communicate.
But now, even Qi Feng couldn't find a way to ease the atmosphere.
He took a deep breath and made a decision - instead of continuing the awkward chat, let's dig out the contradictions that have been buried under Pingbo in the past few days and talk about it candidly.
"Ling Ke," Qi Feng asked, looking at the other party, "Are you hiding from me these days?"
Ling Ke, who was immersed in his thoughts, was almost jumped up by Qi Feng's straight ball.
He raised his head suddenly and instinctively wanted to deny it, but when he met Qi Feng's awe-inspiring gaze, he couldn't tell a lie.
For a moment, Ling Ke felt that he was nowhere near noble.
He was angry that Qi Feng deceived himself, but why wasn't he deceiving Qi Feng himself? Since the first meeting in the university dormitory, he has been hiding the truth of knowing and liking Qi Feng.
If a person lies about something, there must be a reason or a reason for the lie.
Ling Ke thought to himself, maybe Qi Feng stopped playing the violin because of some knot in his heart? Just like I don't want Qi Feng to hate me and hide my sexuality...
He tilted his head slightly to avoid Qi Feng's sight, but did not directly deny the question just now.
Seeing this, Qi Feng's heart tightened, and he immediately seized the signs and continued to ask: "It's because... Did you misunderstand anything when you saw Xiao Zhi and me that night?"
Ling Ke pursed his lips nervously.
Qi Feng breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Ling Ke had indeed misunderstood him as a scumbag.
Knowing the reason, the next words will be easier to say. Qi Feng explained again: "Xiao Zhi and I really don't have any innocent relationship... I knew from the beginning that she had a boyfriend, and that day, I was just very She simply invited her to a meal, the address and time were chosen by her, and her boyfriend also knew about it."
Ling Ke's mind was in chaos. Although Qi Feng's explanation was very useful to him, what he was puzzled about now was—why was Qi Feng so persistent in explaining his relationship with Xiao Zhi to himself
Qi Feng didn't have the time to try to figure out what he was thinking, so he just continued: "Don't take me as that kind of... I'm a beautiful woman... a beast." Afraid that the power of simple words would not be enough, he also resorted to gestures. , the explanation is very difficult, and the attitude can be said to be very sincere.
"I'm a person, although I've always been popular with girls, but I can't be anyone... Believe it or not, I haven't talked to a single girlfriend yet..."
Ling Ke: "…"
After saying the few words just now, Qi Feng himself seemed a little embarrassed.
He would never say this in front of others, especially Shen Yuezhe and Zhao Si who are so handsome and look so good at flirting with girls, but he turned out to be a pure and innocent little virgin- will definitely make his friends laugh Lost teeth.
However, facing Ling Ke, Qi Feng just wanted to show his truest side, and he didn't want him to misunderstand his bad character and alienate him.
Seeing Ling Ke's stunned expression, Qi Feng seemed to be inspired, and he made a big move: "I still have my first kiss."
