Second Piano Concerto

On the first day of the new year, Tan Shuo woke up again from hunger.

When everyone dispersed in the early morning, he was still sleeping in the dark on the sofa in the piano room. Seeing this, Qin Haiou woke him up and told him to sleep on the bed.It happened that the room Qin Haiya lived in before was ready for use. Tan Shuo followed Qin Haiou in a daze.

At this time, he woke up in an unfamiliar room, seeing that this was neither a rice noodle shop nor an inn, he was at a loss for a moment, and then remembered that he should still be in Xiaopengmen.The warm air in this room is very strong, making people lazy, and the bed is also very elastic, which is much more comfortable than the single bed in the rice noodle shop. Tan Shuo would still want to stay here Get more sleep.

He looked around the room, and got up reluctantly. The sky outside the window was already bright. When he opened the curtains, he could see the back door of the small courtyard and the loquat tree outside the courtyard wall.This area is mostly old houses, much quieter than near the rice noodle shop. Standing in front of the window, Tan Shuo felt that the surroundings were surprisingly quiet. While feeling comfortable, he always felt that something was wrong, until he tidied himself up and put on his coat. When I came out to find someone, I finally realized that it was because I didn't hear the sound of the piano.

The mess left by last night's party was no longer inside the small tent. Everywhere was clean and tidy, but there was no one there.Tan Shuodong looked around, and finally found the person he was looking for in a small hall behind the main room.There was a square electric heating table in the center of the small hall. Qin Haiou, Yu Doudou and Chen Ganning were sitting on one side, looking at the things on the table.

"You're awake!" Seeing Tan Shuo appearing, Qin Haiou immediately motioned him to sit at the table, and got up to get him something to eat, "Are you crazy?"

Tan Shuo sat down and took a look. There were stacks of developed photos on the table, all of the same size. He picked up a few and took a closer look, only to find that these were all photos they took when they were collecting folk songs.

"Zhao Fei brought this yesterday and said he would give it to me as a souvenir." Qin Haiou brought bread, snacks and a glass of milk and put them on the table. Tan Shuo grabbed a piece of bread and put it in his mouth, watching while eating.

The number of photos is quite large, and the content is also very rich, which has been roughly divided into several piles.Tan Shuo was aimless, and was picking among one of the piles nearby. Yu Doudou curled his lips and said, "Don't move around, those are already selected."

Tan Shuo didn't see her face, and didn't care. He wiped away the pile of photos, glanced twice, grabbed one and threw it on top: "This one is not bad."

The other three people looked at it and found that it was a single half-length photo of Qin Haiou. In the photo, Qin Haiou did not look at the camera, but stared into the distance thoughtfully. Behind him were mountains surrounded by mist. But where he was, there was sunshine, bathing his whole body in soft light.In this photo, the composition, light, and angle are all just right, especially the aura exuded by Qin Haiou, which is bright with a touch of depth, which is different from his previous impression, and is very intriguing.

Qin Haiou saw this photo and said with a smile: "Sister Yu also likes this one, and I plan to use it as a concert poster."

After hearing this, Tan Shuo picked up the photo again, stretched his arms and felt it from a distance: "Use this as a poster? It's too narcissistic!"

Qin Haiou also leaned over to take a look, and said "Oh", "Then change it!"

Yu Doudou stared at Tan Shuo coldly from the opposite side, his face was quite gloomy. It was a great compromise to let Qin Haiou play this man's work at the concert. unacceptable.

Tan Shuo didn't realize it, and while looking through the photos happily, he chatted with Qin Haiou about the interesting things at that time.These photos brought back their memories of Caifeng, which made them feel very nostalgic.Seeing Qin Haiou's expression, Yu Doudou endured it again.Chen Ganning has no prejudice against Tan Shuo, but she also understands Yu Doudou's mood.Yu Doudou has always been strong and has won the trust of Qin Haiya, but in this matter, not only Qin Haiou was unexpectedly tough and stubborn, but even Qin Haiya did not give her reasons to convince her of the final decision. Shang Tan Shuo is like a ball of cotton, I don’t know if he is really nervous or just pretending not to see it, Yu Doudou’s anger towards him is like a bullet that misses the target, and he fires wishful thinking every time, but there is no pleasure in hitting the target .This made Yu Doudou even more angry. If she hadn't considered Qin Haiou, she would have had an attack a long time ago.Chen Ganning secretly felt that this time Yu Doudou might really have met his nemesis.

Tan Shuo quickly finished reading the pile at hand, and went to look through others.Just then, a special photo caught his attention.This photo, unlike the others on the table, was not a digital print, but a one-shot Polaroid that had been buried under other photos so he hadn't seen it.This kind of photo was taken by Zhao Fei with a mechanical camera in the later stage of the collection, after the battery was exhausted. Due to the small number, each of them is out of print. Zhao Fei is very precious. At that time, Tan Shuo asked him for it, but he said He refused to give anything, but unexpectedly gave Qin Haiou a photo behind his back. Tan Shuo scolded Zhao Fei for being biased, and picked up the photo to look at.

Unexpectedly, upon seeing this, he was immediately stunned.This photo is nothing but the scene of grandma singing by the firepit the night before they left.The grandma in the photo stared at the flames, her old face was blurred by the flames, and the mysterious and simple feeling perfectly restored the atmosphere at that time.Tan Shuo looked at this photo with fascination, and he didn't even bother to eat the bread. He had a strange feeling, as if his soul had come out of his body in an instant, drilled into this photo, and brought him back to the firepit that night, and heard it again. Grandma's singing.The singing voice hooked up the music trapped in his mind, like a gap suddenly opened in an obstacle blocking a river, the water rushed out impatiently, making the crack even bigger, and all the obstacles collapsed in an instant.

Seeing that Tan Shuo was staring at the photo in a daze, Qin Haiou was about to speak when Tan Shuo suddenly dropped the bread in his hand, grabbed the photo and ran out.He ran straight into the piano room, put the photo on the music stand, sat in front of the piano and played.

He played intermittently, and every few times he had to stop to think, and repeatedly tried the rampant thoughts in his mind.Qin Haiou followed closely and watched him quietly on the side when he saw him pondering on the piano.

Tan Shuo tried it intently for a while, then suddenly stopped, and turned to look around.

"What are you looking for?" Qin Haiou asked.

"Pen, and paper." Tan Shuo said.

Qin Haiou immediately brought him a pen and paper.Tan Shuo was lying on the piano, holding the pen in his right hand, writing while continuing to play various chords on the keyboard with his left hand.He quickly roughly recorded the important ideas, then put away the manuscript paper, got up and left without saying a word.

"Where are you going?" Qin Haiou was completely taken for air by him, and finally asked again.

Tan Shuo didn't hear him at all, and in the blink of an eye, he had already hurried into the yard.

**

Tan Shuo finally passed the bottleneck, and the boredom that had been pent up in his chest for several days disappeared.After that, he did not encounter any obstacles, and quickly completed the first draft of the first movement, and then brought the score to Qin Haiou.

When Qin Haiou heard that the first movement had been written, he jumped up from the piano bench excitedly, but when he took the score and looked at it, he suddenly became quiet again.

What Tan Shuo brought was the original manuscript of his manuscript. On the top of the music score on the first page of the manuscript, the title of this work was written:

Second Piano Concerto

Qin Haiou knew that although it was impossible to publish "Xinghai" as Tan Shuo's work, even though Tan Shuo decided to let go of the past and create a new piano concerto, "Xinghai" was still irreplaceable in Tan Shuo's heart.From now on, "Piano Concerto No. [-]" will become an eternal blank in Tan Shuo's work number, and this blank is the place Tan Shuo reserved for "Xinghai".

Qin Haiou stared at the title in silence and didn't respond for a moment.But Tan Shuo didn't notice his strangeness, and urged him impatiently: "Quick, play it for me!"

Qin Haiou cleared up his complicated mood, put the manuscript on the music stand, and sat down in front of the piano.
