Second Piano Concerto

Tan Shuo was immersed in the aftertaste of the sound of the piano, and he didn't recover for a long time.Qin Haiou stared at him, the two of you looked at me, I looked at you, until Tan Shuo's brain finally recovered, connected the picture in front of him with the sound of the piano just now, and opened his mouth to ask: "Who were you just now?" bomb?"

Qin Haiou's face turned pale, and he hesitated, "No, it's not...it's Miss Liu."

When Tan Shuo heard the words "Miss Liu", he immediately jumped up from the base of the wall.Yesterday Liu Yang tried to hide this from him, but today Qin Haiou actually said the same thing.Even if Qin Haiou answered casually, "I don't know who is playing the piano", Tan Shuo might stop and think about whether it was a coincidence that Qin Haiou appeared here, and whether it was someone else playing the piano.But Qin Haiou actually pushed Liu Yang, which showed that he was an insider and had discussed with Liu Yang in advance.Coupled with Qin Haiou's frightened expression, Tan Shuo could figure out what was going on with his toes.Tan Shuo was both excited and amused. When he jumped up, his voice suddenly rose an octave: "Miss Liu? Are you fucking kidding me?"

Qin Haiou opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a word.

Tan Shuo said: "She can indeed play Hanon, but her ring finger is lame, and changing her finger is also an old problem. Every time she hits the black keys, she will make mistakes when changing her fingers, and she can make as many mistakes as she plays!"

Tan Shuo said: "She also has Bach's score, but at best she can only play "Two Creativity", her hand coordination and hand-brain coordination are not enough, she can play "Equal Temperament" as well as Wang Yifu Is it? Impossible!"

Tan Shuo said: "That Liszt's "Super Skill" is not at a normal speed! How many people can play at that speed just now? Liu Yang will not be able to play it even in his next life!"

Tan Shuo said: "Do you still need me to repeat the last 'La Er'? You said Liu Yang played it, do you believe it? Anyway, I don't believe it! If you are not teasing me, then you are insulting me IQ!"

Finally he asked: "Who are you? If you weren't playing just now, then who was playing?!"

He stopped to catch his breath after he finished talking.Qin Haiou was still dumb. He never thought that Tan Shuo could say such a thing.Since they met, Tan Shuo has given him the impression that he is a very keen and careful person who can eat, always looks for opportunities to be lazy, likes to make some harmless jokes.This person runs his own millet noodle shop, lives a leisurely life, and takes good care of his friends, but he doesn't seem to have any connection with the music world that Qin Haiou knows.But the cannonball words just now showed that this person is at least very familiar with piano works and piano performance skills. These words, let alone a small owner of a rice noodle shop, may not necessarily be said by a music lover like Liu Yang It can be concluded that this requires a certain amount of professional knowledge and professionalism, and it cannot be done casually.

Qin Haiou listened to Tan Shuo's words, but was unable to respond for a long time.Tan Shuo surprised him too much, and the lie was exposed in person as soon as he uttered it, which made Qin Haiou, who was not good at lying, even more at a loss.He didn't know what to do, should he confess it, or find a way to keep concealing it and justify himself?How should he answer Tan Shuo's question?

Qin Haiou was still in a daze when the back door of the coffee shop opened again. Liu Yang rushed out from inside and stared at Tan Shuo with disbelief.

After Qin Haiou left, Liu Yang originally opened a shop in Zhang Luo, but when he went to pick up things in the backyard, he just heard Tan Shuo's very familiar voice coming from outside the wall, full of emotions and excitement.Although Liu Yang only heard the second half of what he said, he immediately understood Qin Haiou's situation.However, what surprised and puzzled her the most was neither how Tan Shuo found out about this matter, nor why Tan Shuo knew so much, nor Tan Shuo's straightforward comments on her when he refuted Qin Haiou.What she cares about is that since Tan Shuo can say what he just said, why doesn't he know Qin Haiou's identity?This is like watching TV every day but not knowing about CCTV, or eating instant noodles but not knowing about sex.The most important thing is that, as Qin Haiou's fan for many years, Liu Yang can't accept this kind of contradictory phenomenon in Tan Shuo.If Tan Shuo is really just a rice noodle shop owner who doesn't know how to play the piano, it's not surprising that he doesn't know Qin Haiou's existence.But his performance just now proves that he clearly understands—even better than Liu Yang himself. Under such circumstances, he doesn't know Qin Haiou who has been famous for ten years. Liu Yang can't imagine how he did it. .

"You can say these words, but you don't know who he is?!" Liu Yang blurted out in extreme shock. She felt that she had to figure out the answer to this question first, otherwise she would not have the heart to think about other things. of.

"I know he's Zhuzhu's friend's younger brother," Tan Shuo said, "but that doesn't explain playing the piano!"

Liu Yang became anxious: "He—he's Qin Haiou!"

After saying this, she immediately regretted it.It was like a basin of cold water was poured not on someone else's head, but on her own head.Qin Haiou trusted her so much and treated her as a friend, but she revealed the secret out of impulse.Realizing that she might have made an irreversible mistake, she hurried to see Qin Haiou, but Qin Haiou was only stiff for a moment, and then seemed to be relieved, and his expression eased a little.Liu Yang didn't know what he was thinking, and couldn't ask, so he could only speculate in his heart.

"Qin Haiou?" This time it was Tan Shuo's turn to be stunned for a moment.Liu Yang's demeanor and tone made him understand at least two things: first, the person who played the piano was indeed "Qin Haiou"; Answer your own question just now.But Tan Shuo didn't know what the name meant, so he asked, "Who is Qin Haiou?"

Liu Yang was completely dumbfounded.

She felt that she couldn't communicate with Tan Shuo at all!

Seeing that Liu Yang didn't answer, Tan Shuo turned to Qin Haiou: "Which school are you from? Who is the teacher?"

Qin Haiou had gradually calmed down.He was not used to and did not like to deceive others.Since he came to this town, the people around him have been friendly to him, but he has to hide his identity from them, and he has often felt uneasy in his heart.The moment he discovered Tan Shuo just now, he first wanted to cover it up, but after being exposed by Tan Shuo, he was shocked and entangled. It wasn't until Liu Yang said his name in a hurry that he suddenly woke up and calmed down instead.After getting along these days, he has developed a good impression and trust in Tan Shuo.He wasn't really afraid that Tan Shuo would know the truth, but he didn't expect it to happen in such a way.Now that Tan Shuo knew, he felt relieved.

He has a special experience in learning piano, and he has attended more than one music school. When asked by Tan Shuo at this moment, he didn't know where to start, so he answered the latter question first: "My teacher is Professor Wang Yifu."

Tan Shuo didn't expect that he was really Wang Yifu's student. He was really surprised, and then sighed: "No wonder! I said how can I play that Bach so well!"

Liu Yang was listening to the conversation between the two, and felt that the unexpected development of the matter was hard to digest.In her opinion, people who are familiar with the piano don't know Qin Haiou, which shouldn't happen.But Qin Haiou didn't seem to think so.He didn't seem to take his popularity for granted, and he didn't mind that Tan Shuo knew nothing about him, but answered Tan Shuo's questions seriously.Liu Yang couldn't help but feel ashamed of what he thought just now, and at the same time sweated for Qin Haiou, because if the atmosphere continues, Qin Haiou will probably answer Tan Shuo's questions honestly.It's not that Liu Yang suspects that Tan Shuo has any bad motives, but at this moment it is obvious that Tan Shuo's background is the biggest problem.Liu Yang felt that it was necessary to find out about Tan Shuo before Tan Shuo asked Qin Haiou the truth.She suggested: "Why don't we go into the house and talk?"

When Tan Shuo and Qin Haiou heard this, they immediately felt that this narrow alley was really not a place to talk.The three of them went back to the store together.Naturally, Liu Yang was not in the mood to open a shop anymore, and tried to seize the initiative as soon as he sat down, and said seriously to Tan Shuo, "Tell me what's going on with you first!"

"What's going on?" Tan Shuo wondered.

"How did you find out? What exactly do you do? How do you know so much?" Liu Yang asked in one breath.

She thought that Tan Shuo had hidden it so deeply before, she never knew that he still had this ability, and now that someone asked him, he would probably prevaricate to some extent, but unexpectedly Tan Shuo replied straightforwardly: "Oh, I studied composition for a few years before."

Liu Yang went through this sentence three times in his mind to make sure that he understood correctly.If things were really as Tan Shuo said, then everything would make sense.People who study composition really need to study various types of music works, and at the same time understand the playing skills of different instruments so that they can use them when composing.From this point of view, Tan Shuo's answer is indeed very illustrative.But--

"Since you are learning to compose, why did you come to this town to sell rice noodles?"

"Who stipulated that composers can't sell rice noodles? I am the one who is the best at making rice noodles among the composers, and the best at composing among those who sell rice noodles." Tan Shuo smiled proudly, seeing Liu Yang still staring at him, as if at any time There was a possibility of an explosion, so he put away his joking demeanor, and explained, "After I graduated, I walked around and stayed here because I thought it was good, but this town doesn't need composers, I have to Do as the Romans do! Don’t you think the rice noodles I make are particularly delicious?”

Liu Yang was angry: "Then why have you never told us!" She no longer wanted to recall how many times she had despised Tan Shuo on the issue of music.She always thought that classical music was an elegant hobby, but Tan Shuo was an ordinary person who didn't know anything about it, but she didn't expect that she was the one who played tricks, Tan Shuo might have been laughing at her in his heart.The more Liu Yang thought about it, the more depressed he became. He really didn't know whether to find a fissure in the ground to sneak in immediately, or to silence Tan Shuo first and then find a fissure in the ground to sneak in.

"No one has ever asked me!" Tan Shuo said confidently.

Liu Yang was speechless.No one has ever asked because this guy has never revealed any clues. No one thought that the small owner of the rice noodle shop turned out to be a music student.Now he actually bites back, this guy is really annoying.

"Your skills are so good, why don't you go get an award or something?" Seeing that Liu Yang seemed to have nothing to say, Tan Shuo turned his attention back to Qin Haiou.Qin Haiou is a modest person, facing this question, he simply replied: "Take it."

"Have you taken it? What have you taken?" Tan Shuo asked with interest.

Liu Yang couldn't bear it anymore.She decided to give up her resistance to Tan Shuo's "understanding".Before Qin Haiou could speak, she had already stood up, and said to Tan Shuo, "Wait!" After she finished speaking, she searched in several cabinets under the bookshelf.This time, she not only found out all the magazines about Qin Haiou in her collection, but also brought a beautiful CD case.Tan Shuo opened the box and saw that it was full of Qin Haiou's piano albums.

Tan Shuo was shocked: "Awesome!"

Hearing these two words, Liu Yang felt very comfortable, even happier than Tan Shuo boasting of herself.She wanted to do such a thing as early as she found out that Tan Shuo actually asked Qin Haiou to help chop vegetables.She wanted Tan Shuo to know how powerful Qin Haiou was, and she wanted Tan Shuo to realize the "serious mistake" she had made.Seeing Tan Shuo's shocked expression, Liu Yang felt very satisfied.This guy surprised her and Qin Haiou so much just now, and now it's his turn to be surprised.Liu Yang knew that since Tan Shuo was an insider in the industry, he didn't need to say much, he could know the weight of the honors and achievements displayed by these things just by looking at them.While admiring Tan Shuo's expression, she secretly observed Qin Haiou.Qin Haiou seemed very calm. He didn't seem to intend to hide it from Tan Shuo, so he didn't mind her showing these things to Tan Shuo.Liu Yang was finally relieved, and only after thinking about it did she start to feel hot: If she hadn't been provoked by Tan Shuo today, if it was normal, she would be absolutely embarrassed to show all these things in front of Qin Haiou.

Tan Shuo looked at all the CDs, picked up a few magazines and flipped through them briefly, and after being shocked, he showed a puzzled look, and raised his head and asked Qin Haiou: "A pianist like you must be very busy, right? Why do you have the leisure to spend so long in this town? Don't you have any performance plans?"

Hearing his question, Liu Yang immediately raised his heart in his throat.She didn't expect Tan Shuo to ask this question first after reading the CD and the magazine.She also wanted to know the answer to this question very much. Out of respect for Qin Haiou's privacy and considering Qin Haiou's feelings, she refrained from asking.But Tan Shuo didn't know that Qin Haiou was a pianist before, so he naturally didn't know that Qin Haiou had announced that he would cancel all future public performances and would never go on stage again. He didn't realize that this was a sensitive topic for Qin Haiou.Liu Yang was worried about Qin Haiou, but also looked forward to hearing his answer. He wanted to explain this question to Qin Haiou, but he didn't know what to say. His mind was in a mess and he was burning with anxiety.

Qin Haiou was really stumped by Tan Shuo's question, hesitation appeared on his face.But he didn't hesitate for long.He looked at Tan Shuo and Liu Yang, and said in a low voice but clearly: "I can't play anymore."

The voice fell, and no one in the room spoke for a while.
