Second Piano Concerto

The next day, Tan Shuo didn't mention the matter again.

If he didn't mention it, Qin Haiou didn't want to expose his scar repeatedly, so he didn't take the initiative to mention it in front of him.But Qin Haiou couldn't stop himself from thinking.

About "Xinghai" and "Song of the Long Night", about Xiao Cong and Sun Chen, about Tan Shuo, those hypocrisy and truth, all appear alternately in Qin Haiou's mind.This incident shocked him unprecedentedly, and some things he had trusted for a long time were shattered, and he had to rebuild his cognition amidst complex and intense emotions.

Qin Haiou asked Tan Shuo if he could keep the manuscript of "Xinghai".Tan Shuo smiled and said, "Since you bought it for 200 yuan, it's yours, so you can take it."

Qin Haiou took the manuscript to the piano room, closed the door and practiced secretly.

This is the work he admired ten years ago.

Ten years ago, he failed to complete the premiere of "Song of the Long Night" himself, but he couldn't put it down so much that he had to practice secretly by himself.

Ten years later, he finally saw the original appearance of this work and got to know its real author, but "Xinghai" could no longer be performed in public, and he could no longer be on stage.

Ten years later, facing his favorite piece, he still can only shut himself in the piano room and play it secretly.

This strong sense of powerlessness was accompanied by an equally strong sense of unwillingness, which made Qin Haiou unable to calm down.

He couldn't help thinking that if the plagiarism incident hadn't happened ten years ago, then "Xinghai" would have been published as Tan Shuo's work. will also be different.

He couldn't help thinking, if this was the case, he and Tan Shuo must have known each other many years ago, and even if he promised not to steal Xiao Cong's limelight, he and Tan Shuo would definitely be able to collaborate on other works , they can bring more good works to people who love music, what a happy thing it will be, instead of the current situation where the creator cannot recognize the work, and the performer can only play the piano alone in front of the manuscript, They couldn't do anything except watch "Xinghai" become an eternal regret in their hearts.

The more Qin Haiou thought about it, the more he hated himself.If only he could get on stage.If he can be on stage, he can play Tan Shuo's works. It doesn't matter whether he plays "Xinghai", the important thing is that he wants people to know what a talented composer Tan Shuo is.At the beginning, he hid in Longjin Town and met Tan Shuo because he couldn't be on stage, but now it's the same reason, he can't help the person he wants to help the most.Qin Haiou felt that this was simply a merciless mockery of reality.

What was once easy to do is impossible now, and Qin Haiou resents his own incompetence.He's been trying to come to terms with the fact that he won't be on stage for months.He was already ready to play alone, but when he found that he would not be nervous in front of Tan Shuo, he felt extremely happy and satisfied.But now, after knowing all the truth, he can't feel that kind of joy, and he can't continue to be satisfied.He could no longer be satisfied with the little progress he had made and the hope he had seen.Now there was only one urgent thought in his mind: he wanted to overcome this obstacle.He wanted to get over it, for the first time in months that he felt such a strong desire to get over it.He is eager to return to the stage, and he wants to play Tan Shuo's works in front of people.He wanted Xiao Cong to hear it, Sun Chen to hear it, and everyone else to hear it.

But what should he do?Who can tell him how he can do this!

Until now, when thinking of the scene at the concert, Qin Haiou still feels uncontrollably afraid.When he was playing the piano at Liu Yang, he sometimes felt someone approaching from outside the piano room. Whenever he wanted to stop, he could only play relaxedly in front of Tan Shuo.Qin Haiou knew that this alone was not enough.

He was perplexed and distressed by this, but there was a more urgent matter at the moment.At the end of the month, if Tan Shuo still can't find a suitable house, he has to move out of the ancient town.These few days Qin Haiou's mind was on the manuscript, and it was useless to be anxious at this time.Fortunately, the landlord agreed to allow a few more days to allow Tan Shuo plenty of time to move.Just when everyone was at their wit's end, Brother Long came back.

When Brother Long learned about the house, he immediately made arrangements and told Tan Shuo within a day that there was no need to move the house, and the rent would not increase, but he needed to set up a table of wine and invite everyone who contributed to it to have a meal. Fan, even if this matter is done.

When Qin Haiou heard the result, he was speechless for a long time.So many of them have been tossing and tossing for so long, but they couldn't find even a store for Tan Shuo. Now not only do they not have to look for a house, they don't even have to move their house. Isn't the landlord going to take the house back for his own use?How did Brother Long convince him?

Qin Haiou was very curious, so he asked Tan Shuo. Tan Shuo said that he didn't know the specific situation, and he would only know when he met those people during the meal.

Qin Haiou said, "Can I go to dinner with you?"

Tan Shuo is serious: "Adults talk about things, what do children follow!"

Qin Haiou said: "I just want to see why Brother Long is so powerful and how he solves this problem."

Tan Shuo said: "Brother Long, he has a lot of face in the first place. He just found a few prominent people in the town together, mixed their interests, and finally made room for me."

Qin Haiou imagined for a while: "Is it like the underworld in the movie?"

Tan Shuo choked out a mouthful of watermelon: "What kind of dark underworld! What are you thinking about!"

Qin Haiou said, "I'm going."

Tan Shuo said: "You can't drink, if you go, you will be knocked down!"

Qin Haiou was surprised: "Is it okay not to drink?"

Tan Shuo said: "This kind of dinner is for drinking, and eating is secondary." Seeing Qin Haiou's disappointed face, he said, "You can go, but don't sit at the same table with us, you eat your own , Just look at it."

Qin Haiou was very satisfied with this arrangement, so he followed Tan Shuo to Longge Restaurant on the day of dinner.Brother Long set up a table of food and wine in the brightest place in the store, and the guests took their seats after all the guests arrived.Qin Haiou found a small square table for two nearby, ordered fried rice casually, and pretended to play with his mobile phone while secretly paying attention to the movement there.

I saw Brother Long sitting on the main seat, as if he was the boss of the rivers and lakes, and everyone at the table respected him very much.Sitting on the left and right of him were a few people Qin Haiou didn't know. After observing for a while, Qin Haiou gradually became clear about the priority.Tan Shuo was sitting at the end. Contrary to Brother Long, he was very respectful to everyone.As soon as a table of people sat down, Tan Shuo stood up and poured wine for everyone.

After everyone had a round of drinking, Brother Long opened his mouth and began to speak.He first introduced people who were not familiar with each other, and then chatted away.Qin Haiou was at a loss when he heard it, and he never saw them talking about Tan Shuo's house. He didn't understand what it meant, and was thinking about it, but Xiao Hei came over with the dishes himself.Xiao Hei served the big table and asked everyone what they wanted. He turned around and saw Qin Haiou, and came over to greet him enthusiastically: "Brother Qin, what do you want to eat?"

Qin Haiou said, "I ordered fried rice."

Xiao Hei said: "Oh! Then eat slowly, I'll cook something for you!"

Just as Qin Haiou was about to say no, Xiao Hei turned around and left in a hurry.
