King of Classical Music

In Dresden on a summer night, the moonlight is bright and clear, and it is as warm and moist as cold water on the small street behind the Semper Opera House.A few European-style street lamps on the side of the street gave off dim lights, and except for a few cars passing by occasionally, there were hardly any people in sight.

The moment he saw the other party, Qi Mu's subconscious reaction was - turn around and leave.

But this kind of naive idea just flashed in his mind for a moment, seeing the man's long-awaited appearance, Qi Mu sighed heavily, and finally accepted his fate.

Qi Mu smiled and raised his hand to beckon, "Long time no see, what a coincidence?" His tone was natural and calm, as if it really just happened to happen.

Looking at the young man's calm expression, Min Chen raised his eyebrows calmly, and a smile appeared in his eyes.He shook his head slightly, and said in a low voice, "It's a coincidence, I just waited for 3 minutes."

Qi Mu: "..."

Just 3 minutes? !Meaning... If he had left 4 minutes earlier, he would have missed it?

As if he had guessed what the young man was thinking now, Min Chen's thin lips curled slightly, and he added a knife: "I am also planning to visit Farrer and Mrs. Atori at night, do you want to drop by?"

Qi Mu: "..."

The cold moonlight poured down unobstructed from the cloudless night sky, and the night breeze was slightly cool, dispelling the heat of the summer night a little bit.

At this time, Qi Mu had no choice but to fully recognize the reality.He no longer pretended to be stupid, and no longer blindly avoided, but held his piano case in front of his body, and together with this man, he leaned back against the uneven masonry wall.

Qi Mu didn't speak, and Min Chen didn't speak either.What he could say had already been said half a month ago.

Min Chen has never been a person who is good at expressing, just the simplest sentence "I like you", has exhausted this reserved man's mind.

But at this moment, Qi Mu was raising his head slightly, looking up at the bright full moon.

It is rare to see such a bright and clear moon on a summer night, because too many stars will block the moonlight, and the lights of the city will make the moonlight appear dim most of the time.

No one spoke at this time, but the atmosphere was very quiet and beautiful.The breeze blows among the small landscape trees on both sides of the road, making the leaves rustle.

After a long time, just when Min Chen thought that this young man who had been avoiding him for more than half a month would really not speak, he suddenly heard a low and pleasant voice beside him——

"Your record... I've listened to it." There was some helplessness in that voice, only to hear Qi Mu say again: "I heard it to the end. The song is very nice, and this is the most perfect one I have ever collected It belongs to the record of 'Min Chen' or 'Auston Bertram'."

Such an opening made Min Chen ponder for a while, and finally nodded lightly: "Yes."

The white moonlight shone on the young man's fair face, Qi Mu smiled lightly, and said, "Actually... I'm not a person who likes to escape from reality, but this time... I really don't know what to do." How to say it."

Min Chen lowered his eyes slightly, looked at the smiling young man, and asked in a low voice, "What?"

Qi Mu didn't answer his question directly, but began to recall seriously: "When I first heard the name 'Min Chen', it may have been more than ten years ago, and it should have been almost 20 years. At that time I'm surprised that there is such a young Chinese who won Xiao Sai's championship with full marks?"

Speaking of this, Qi Mu shook his head helplessly, and said: "Since then, I have started to pay attention to this person. The first piece I heard was Bach's "St. Matthew Passion", and then I listened to his Chopin, Beethoven, Schumann, Schubert... and Liszt."

After a pause, Qi Mu suddenly raised his head to look at the man beside him, and asked amusedly: "By the way, I have discovered a problem since a long time ago...you rarely play Mendelssohn's pieces, why is that?"

On such a quiet street, only two people said this softly, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Min Chen looked down at the young man beside him, feeling as if the brilliance of the moon had been sucked into the light-colored eyes of the other party, he was slightly startled, and then he asked with a low smile: "I graduated from the Leipzig Academy of Music, you do you know?"

Qi Mu nodded: "Yes, I know."

"Who founded Leipzig, do you know?"

Qi Mu immediately replied: "Mendelssohn." With a smile, he added: "To be precise, this is the first conservatory in Germany."

The dark black long clothes seemed to blend in with the night, Min Chen nodded slightly, and said: "When I first entered Leipzig, I was invited to participate in the school celebration. The school celebration is basically a repertoire related to the famous people of the academy. Mister Delsson's is even hotter. But they have a tradition..."

When talking about this, Min Chen paused for a moment, and then said: "Mendelssohn is the most classic romantic style. Once you want to play his music, you must find a second person to play with him. At that time, the principal of the violin department is now It seems to be in the Spanish Ossica Orchestra, it's a um..." After a long while, Min Chen finally found a suitable adjective: "She is a girl who likes my music very much."

Couldn't help laughing out loud, Qi Mu seemed to understand what was going on.

But Min Chen didn't seem to hear the young man's teasing laughter, and he recalled with a straight face: "I don't want to play with her, because many chief piano and violin department heads in Leipzig spread...bad news like this. Yes. At that time, I couldn’t directly say the reason, so I said: I haven’t practiced Mendelssohn’s pieces well, and I feel that I don’t have the ability to perform well.”

That scene immediately appeared in front of Qi Mu's eyes, and he smiled helplessly: "At that time, you could already perform Liszt's songs very well, your reason...does the other party believe it?"

"I believe it." With a serious affirmation, Min Chen said in a solemn tone: "Because I said it."

Qi Mu: "..."

"Skill does not mean ability to play. I said at the time that I couldn't show Mendelssohn's romance. This is true. I am a simple and sincere person."

This is so funny that Qi Mu couldn't help turning his head to look at Min Chen, but the moment he saw him, he froze for a moment.

I saw that the man's handsome and profound face was full of seriousness, his deep and dark eyes were fixed on himself, and he said sincerely and solemnly: "I can't play a romantic song with an inappropriate partner, because... ..."

"Qi Mu, I don't like her."

The topic suddenly returned to the beginning, and Qi Mu's pupils dilated slightly. After a long while, he sighed softly and said, "Min Chen...Actually, we are all very busy. I can't go to Berlin to develop. It is impossible for you to give up on Bo Ai. Europe is small, but sometimes it is very big, and many people can even be separated from each other day and night. Do you think...is it really possible for us?"

"do you like me?"

Qi Mu was stunned by the sudden words, before he had time to react, a shadow fell in front of his eyes.

The man completely blocked the hazy moonlight with his tall and straight body, put his hands on both sides of Qi Mu's body, and looked down at him.This posture has a strong meaning, and more importantly, it gave Qi Mu a feeling of "I can't escape this time".

It was also at this time that Qi Mu was a little surprised to find——

He was actually half a head shorter than the other party.

It was the first time for Qi Mu to look at the man in front of him so closely. From the first time he heard the name "Min Chen" to the last year when he formally met him, it was the first time he got so close to him thoroughly. , close enough to seem to feel each other's warm breath.

His cheeks flushed involuntarily, Qi Mu coughed lightly, and looked away with some concern: "Now is not the time to think about this issue... Min Chen, I have no chance to go to Berlin to develop, and you will not be able to in the next ten years." Leaving Bo Ai, we have no time to spend together, we..."

"do you like me?"

Min Chen asked again and again, causing Qi Mu's voice to stop suddenly.After a long time, as if he finally understood the meaning of the other party, Qi Mu gave a wry smile in his heart, then raised his head to meet the other party's focused and serious eyes, and said word by word: "I like you."

Yes, the answer is definitely like it.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have blushed when I heard that confession, and I wouldn't have been able to avoid it for the next half month.Qi Mu has never been a hesitant person, if he doesn't like it, he will say it outright, precisely because he likes it...

Will not dare to answer.

These short four words made Qi Mu feel much more relaxed, but what he didn't realize was that the man who seemed to be calm but was actually tense all the time also breathed a sigh of relief.He looked down at the young man's delicate and beautiful facial features, and naturally saw the hesitation and helplessness on the other side's face.

Min Chen's eyes narrowed, and he said, "As long as you like it...then there is no problem."

Qi Mu was taken aback when he heard the words, and then subconsciously said: "But it should be impossible for me to develop in Berlin in the future. Min Chen, I don't want to be a solo violinist, I want to join an orchestra, I think..."

"I can leave."

Qi Mu's voice stopped abruptly, his eyes widened in horror, and he whispered after a while: "How can you leave? You have been directing Bai Ai for almost ten years, and you are only 31 years old this year. If you don’t change, you can still hold the baton for 30 or 40 years!”

"It's okay." Min Chen said calmly.

Qi Mu was in a hurry: "But that's Bo Ai!"

Seeing that the young man was so anxious that he was about to break out in sweat, a warm current slowly surged up in Min Chen's heart. He curled up his thin lips calmly, and asked softly, "What do you think... Karl? How is Thomas?"

Hearing this, Qi Mu was taken aback for a moment, and then replied: "Mr. Carl? He is very good. Although he does not belong to any symphony orchestra, his strength is indeed very outstanding. Every year, he will accept invitations to conduct world-renowned orchestras and perform global performances." , why did you suddenly..." Qi Mu suddenly understood, and he said in surprise: "Do you want to be like Mr. Carl?!"

At present, the four major conductors recognized in the world are Min Chen of Bai Ai, Eberke Dorenza of Wei Ai, Faller Louis of Dejiao, and Carl Thomas who is not affiliated with any symphony orchestra.

Min Chen raised his eyebrows gracefully, and asked back, "Is it not possible? Carl is very good like this."

Although I understand that Master Karl also has a great reputation in the world music scene and is the object of respect and admiration by countless people, but for some reason, once he thinks that this man left Bai Ai for himself, Qi Mu's heart began to tingle Pain and... guilt.

Since this man has already planned to do this...

So what else could he worry about?

A calm smile suddenly appeared on the beautiful face of the young man. He looked up at the man in front of him, and said in a threatening tone: "You are not allowed to leave Bo Ai." After a pause, he added again: "You are not allowed to leave Bo Ai because of I, leave Bo Ai."

Startled by such a "fierce" tone, Min Chen was slightly stunned, and after a long time, he asked, "...what?"

"I don't want my lover to give up the career that he has consolidated for ten years because of me."

Min Chen couldn't help frowning, and said: "This is not giving up, I can be a free person like Karl..."

The sound stopped abruptly, and Min Chen suddenly realized what he had just heard.His sharp eyes widened suddenly, and after a while, even his voice trembled: "What did you just say...?"

It's rare to see the other party's "unconfident" appearance, Qi Mu raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes were full of smiles, and he repeated: "I said, I don't want my lover to give up his... "

Suddenly being embraced by the other party forcefully, Qi Mu stopped talking in a daze.He felt the other party's powerful arms tightly hugging his waist, the embrace was hot and warm, and the vigorous and powerful heartbeat seemed to be contagious, making his heart beat slowly and quickly.

In his ear, he heard the other party exhale softly like this: "Qi Mu...I like you."

Knowing how childish this man is, Qi Mu helplessly reached out and patted the other man's back, nodded in a low voice, "Well... I like you too."

But the man still didn't give up, and repeated again: "I like you."

Qi Mu was speechless: "Yes, yes, I know you like me."

"I like you."

"..."

"I like you."

"..."

"I like you."

"……speak English!"

"Come back to Berlin with me."

"..." After being speechless for a moment, Qi Mu pushed the domineering man away, and asked, "It was agreed just now that it is impossible for me to develop in Berlin."

With a serious look on his stern face, Min Chen said seriously: "Just one month, only one month... After this month, Bai Ai's busy affairs are over, I will accompany you back to Paris, and you can go wherever you want."

Qi Mu: "..." Sighing softly, he said, "Teacher Akad will be back next week. I'm going back to Paris, Min Chen."

"Ignore him."

Qi Mu: "...can you stop being so childish?"

"I can teach you the violin." With seriousness and sincerity in his deep, dark eyes, Min Chen said in a serious tone: "In Berlin, I will teach you the violin. I have a lot of time to teach you. I am more violinist than Reed." Be patient."

Qi Mu: "...When you can play Paganini's "The Bell" to my satisfaction, I will consider letting you be my teacher." Added: "It's played on a violin!"

The light of hope that the man had just ignited was instantly extinguished: "..."

Under the warm and soft moonlight, Qi Mu looked amusedly and helplessly at the man in front of him with pursed lips and bowed head, with an unhappy expression.Under the dim light, the other party's three-dimensional and handsome facial features seemed a bit soft, but those slightly drooping eyes were still as deep as he remembered, as if they could not see the bottom.

The young man involuntarily stretched out his hand to caress the man's face, this sudden action made both Min Chen and Qi Mu startled, just when Qi Mu subconsciously wanted to withdraw his hand, his right hand was suddenly grabbed by the man .

Qi Mu raised his head in surprise, but his gaze happened to fall into those deep black eyes.As if realizing what was going to happen next, Qi Mu couldn't help swallowing, he wanted to break away from the other party's holding his hand, but he couldn't escape.

In the end, Qi Mu finally listened to the words that the beating heart in his chest was pouring out, he gave up struggling, and slowly closed his eyes.

On the quiet and dark street, a tall and tall man gently pulled the young man's wrist, and slowly bent down.But the latter did not resist at all, and greeted him as if emotionally moved.

What people in love need is just to look at each other for a moment, and their reason will be completely defeated by love.

Qi Mu seemed to be able to hear the thumping heartbeat in the other's chest, and was about to feel the sound of the man exhaling through the nose. He couldn't help but feel a dryness in his throat, and he became a little nervous.And in the next second——

"boom--"

"Pervert! Who are you! Who would allow you to touch our Xiao Qi randomly!!!"

The angry roar completely dispelled Qi Mu's emotion just now, and he immediately opened his eyes, only to see the man standing in front of him looking at him expressionlessly, with countless lily petals on his head.

"Oh, that's not right... I have to speak German here... Never mind, pervert!! Who will allow you to touch my Xiao Qi, let go of your dirty hands!" : "I'm going to call the police, you pervert don't even try to run away!"

While the other party was talking, he also hit Min Chen's body with a large bouquet of lilies, but Min Chen refused to let go of Qi Mu's wrist, which made the roaring man even more furious.

"Why is there such a pervert in Europe! You... eh?! Mr. Min?!!!"

Qi Mu, who had been speechless for a long time, said: "..."

Min Chen with a blank face and a lily on his head: "..."
