King of Classical Music

The blue and clear sky was divided into two parts because of the setting sun that was gradually setting in the west.One piece is still blue and clear, as if carrying vigorous vitality, but one piece is already old, rendered into a hazy yellow cloud.The top of the Eiffel Tower stands right between this boundary, symbolizing the two ends of the choice.

The pigeons on the Mars Square were still beating their wings tirelessly, flying up and down one by one.Behind the group of pigeons, the gray-haired Professor Akad shook the pigeon food in his hands, and looked down at the scene of these pigeons rushing towards him.

A question has not been answered for a long time, and Qi Mu said unwillingly: "Teacher, Paris is a good place, but...you are too lonely here. You still have more than ten years, 20 years or even more in your life. I can accompany you." Together, we will take care of you in the old age."

Professor Akkad's wife passed away early and did not leave him a son and a half.When Qi Mu was in the college before, Professor Akad returned to Turin just to take care of the funeral of his distant nephew - the last relative of this old man also passed away.

In Qi Mu's heart, since the teacher doesn't want to accept any more students, he will treat the teacher like a father, accompany him well, spend the old man's last days, and let him enjoy his life.

But Professor Akad obviously didn't think so.I saw him shake off all the pigeon food in his hand, and said calmly: "Paris...is really a good place. It's very romantic and beautiful here. I'm afraid it's the paradise in every girl's heart."

Qi Mu didn't come back to his senses for a moment: "Teacher, what did you say?"

"Xiao Qi, do you know where my favorite place in my life is?"

Thinking of what Professor Akad said just now, Qi Mu tentatively replied: "...is it Paris?"

But Professor Akad shook his head lightly, and said, "No, it's not Paris, nor Turin, nor New York, where I have lived for more than 20 years, or Vienna." After a pause, Professor Akad said softly: "My favorite place is where Sharina is."

Qi Mu fell silent suddenly, not knowing how to speak for a while.

Sharina Akad is the name of his wife.Qi Mu had never seen this woman before, because as early as when Professor Akad was young, his wife died early due to illness, and since then... Professor Akad has never married any woman.

"47 years ago, we came to Paris when we got married for our honeymoon. Sharina said that she likes this place very much. It is beautiful, quiet and has her favorite Palace of Fontainebleau." Aka Professor De's voice was very calm, "Every girl will have a princess dream. Sharina said that when she first saw the Palace of Fontainebleau, she felt..."

"This is the castle that belongs to her."

"I grew up with Sharina. When I was very young in the slums, I built a palace with her in the sand. Sharina said that it was not her castle. She wanted Fontainebleau, but . . . where can I pile up a Palace of Fontainebleau."

The old man's hoarse voice sounded in the empty square, Qi Mu's fingers tightened slightly, and he said in a low voice, "Teacher..."

"40 years ago, when she passed away, I was performing with Niuai at the Boston Concert Hall. At that time, it seemed to be such a cold winter, right? She told me in a telegram a month ago that she had a small cold , it's not... a serious illness."

Professor Akad's voice was a little choked, Qi Mu lowered his eyes, and couldn't bear to look at the other person's expression.

"Actually, it's really not a serious illness. Tuberculosis could be treated at that time, but Sharina just didn't want to bother me, and wanted me to finish my first world tour in peace of mind..."

Professor Akad's voice stopped abruptly, and Qi Mu reached out and hugged the old man.

Unlike his great musical achievements, Master Akkad is a small, thin old man.At this moment, he patted his student on the shoulder, but kept his body straight, and said: "Xiao Qi, the teacher likes Paris very much, here I can walk quietly on the street alone, and when I see those young people hugging and kissing, I feel so happy." It seems that I saw myself and Sharina back then."

Qi Mu still didn't want to give up: "Teacher, but you are alone..."

"Xiaoqi." Professor Akad's eyes were slightly red, but the tears did not fall after all. He looked at his students seriously and focused, and said word by word: "There are many pursuits in a person's life, and you think the teacher is very lonely. , In fact, the teacher doesn’t think so. Here, I seem to feel that Sharina is by my side, she is a beautiful princess, waiting for me in the Palace of Fontainebleau.”

"Xiaoqi, no one in the world will wait for you forever. The teacher told you to cherish your feelings for Auston because... you have this opportunity to be together and to be happy."

"If someone asks me now, do I regret that I didn't go back to Turin to see Sharina because of the tour. Then I will say that I have never regretted it. This is the choice that Sharina made for me. Never question her."

"But Xiaoqi, if someone asks me...whether I would like to be a world violin master Reed Arcade, or Sharina's Reed, then I just want to be Sharina's Reed."

"Everyone's choice is different. Sharina made a choice for me 40 years ago, so now... let me make a choice for her. You still have a lot to go, you still have a lot of time, When you are on the stage of the golden hall, remember to send an invitation letter to the teacher, and the teacher will be satisfied."

……

After returning from the Champ de Mars that night, Professor Akad personally cooked a sumptuous dinner for Qi Mu, with the taste of chocolate that only belongs to Turin, Italy.

Qi Mu smiled and played a few tunes for his teacher, and the latter praised him again and again: "Not bad, not bad, I didn't forget my homework when I went to Vienna, I have to keep working hard, you know!"

The time to get together is always short. Qi Mu spent the whole day helping his lazy and clumsy tutor clean the house. On the morning of the fifth day after arriving in Paris, he was reluctant to part with Professor Akkad. , set foot on the plane to Huaxia, and officially left this beautiful and romantic city.

The plane rose into the air, and whether it was the Eiffel Tower or the Palace of Fontainebleau, it became an insignificant point.When Qi Mu closed the window, he looked at the long jade belt - the Seine River, and couldn't help but bend his eyes.

Mingming said that he was not alone, and in the end at the airport, didn't he pull him to talk for a long time?

The teacher is so awkward!

Along the way, Qi Mu spent a long journey amidst the richness of dark chocolate and the blue sky and white clouds outside the window.

By the time he got off the plane and arrived at Huaxia Capital Airport, it was early morning in City B.In such a quiet and deserted late night, the traffic on the street was sparse, Qi Mu quickly arrived at the apartment downstairs by taxi, and opened the door.

This time he didn't go into his original apartment, because he had already returned the house in city B, so he had no choice but to go into the neighbor's house next door to live in.As for the rent... help Min Chen clean the house?

Because of jet lag, Zheng Weiqiao didn't knock on the door carrying buns and soy milk until the morning of the second day when Qi Mu returned to City B.

As soon as he entered the door, Zheng Weiqiao stayed in the spacious hallway. He never expected that there is a hole in the sky just separated by a wall!

Qi Mu took the breakfast from Zheng Weiqiao's hand, and seeing the latter's face of "did I go to the wrong room?", he stretched out his hand in front of Zheng Weiqiao with a low smile, and said, "Brother Zheng, Min Chen It seems that I bought the other two single apartments on the upper floor and this floor, and then asked a designer to design them. So this house is a little bigger than the one I rented."

Zheng Weiqiao: "...Ah, ah, is that right..."

How big is this!

If he had clairvoyant vision, the layout of the two apartments would be like "Min Chen squeezed his Xiao Qi into a corner", okay?

Qi Mu didn't understand Zheng Weiqiao's emotional expression, he asked with a smile while drinking soy milk: "By the way, Brother Zheng, why didn't you see sister-in-law?"

Zheng Weiqiao pulled up the stool, sat beside Qi Mu, and said, "Your sister-in-law is having a baby recently, so I didn't let her go out. But Xiao Qi, although you just returned to Huaxia, I may not be able to accompany you much recently. , you also know that your sister-in-law is about to give birth, and I want to be with her all the time."

Qi Mu nodded understandingly: "Okay, Brother Zheng, spend more time with your sister-in-law. I brought you special products from Vienna, Berlin and Paris. There should be nothing that pregnant women should not eat. You can take them home and give them to your sister-in-law to try." .”

Zheng Weiqiao took a gift bag that Qi Mu put on the tea table, he looked at the other neatly placed bags, and asked, "Xiao Qi, do you still want to give gifts to Lao Tan and the others?"

"Yes, I'm going to the City B Symphony Orchestra in the afternoon. I haven't seen you for a long time, and I brought them back some special products."

"oh, I see……"

Zheng Weiqiao gave a few more instructions, and then went back before lunch. According to his words, "I have to cook for my daughter-in-law".Although Qi Mu didn't think what kind of "meal" Zheng Weiqiao could cook, he still had no choice but to let Zheng Weiqiao take back the little millet porridge he cooked last night. Do you want some porridge?

After Qi Mu officially packed his luggage, it was only 3 o'clock in the afternoon.He was carrying bags of special gifts and headed for City B Symphony Orchestra. Just as he reached the door, he saw a few young and beautiful girls surrounding the door from a distance, chirping and talking about something.

Qi Mu's steps paused, and after hesitating for a while, he continued to move forward.

Under the cold north wind in the forest of B City, the leaves of the sycamore tree were blown until only one or two pieces were left hanging on the dry branches.A handsome and handsome young man stepped up the steps and was about to enter the gate of the B City Symphony Orchestra.

At that moment, he slightly raised his head and looked at a certain young girl beside him. The next second, there was a sound of exclamation——

"Eh?!! Xiao Qi?!!!"
