King of Classical Music

It just so happened that the clarinet player on the stage ended his performance. Amidst the warm and loud applause, Du Sheng quickly came back from the backstage. He leaned into Tan Zhenghui's ear and whispered: "The second performer A student of Professor Carl, he wishes to be able to delay his own performance sequence."

The thunderous applause almost covered Du Sheng's voice. Mr. Tan frowned and asked, "Postponing the order? Professor Carl didn't mention such a thing when he recommended it, his student? Who is it?"

Du Sheng thought for a while, and said, "It seems to be called...Sheng Yanhui?"

Qi Mu at the side froze for a moment.

Tan Zhenghui also opened his eyes wide in surprise, and subconsciously turned his head to look at Qi Mu who was on the side.The old man frowned, and it took a long time before he said: "You are also an acquaintance of Xiao Qi, why don't you go and see what's going on?"

Qi Mu naturally didn't refuse, he nodded, then stood up, bowed his body and walked towards the backstage.Tonight, Qi Mu was wearing a small light black suit. At this time, the spotlights in the concert hall were all focused on the stage, and it was naturally difficult for anyone to spot Qi Mu in the audience.

Walking backstage, Qi Mu frowned slightly, for some reason, a strange feeling emerged in his heart.

Qi Mu looked back subconsciously, and saw that in the solemn concert hall, everyone was listening to the performance on the stage attentively, and there was nothing unusual about it.

After laughing and cursing in his heart that he was thinking too much, Qi Mu turned and entered the backstage without looking back.

Not long after he entered, Qi Mu didn't know that a blond-haired, blue-eyed foreigner appeared in the direction of the gate he had just seen with a sullen expression.The man stepped into the concert hall under the guidance of the hostess lady who led the way. After a while, he seemed to suddenly think of something, and quickly turned around and stretched out his hand to pull behind the gate.

After a while, a man with a displeased face was pulled into the concert hall by him.

The hostess nodded with a smile, then turned and left.But Daniel quietly leaned over and said in a low voice: "Min, isn't it just late? We all set off an hour earlier. Who knew that the road in Huaxia would be so congested. Oh, there are so many people in Huaxia!"

Min Chen didn't pay any attention to Daniel when he heard the words, he raised his head and looked around.There were not many people in the concert hall, counting the hostesses who performed on the stage and stood politely and smiling all around, there were no more than a dozen people in total.

Min Chen soon discovered that there was no one he was looking for today in the auditorium. He couldn't help but frowned in surprise, and asked in a low voice, "Where is he? Is his solo already coming?"

"Him? You're asking...Qi Mu?" Daniel glanced at the performance in his hands, and said, "Now it's the third performer's trumpet solo. If Qi Mu... there should be two more people, He is the fifth performer." After a pause, Daniel showed his white teeth with a smile: "So we're not too late, Min."

The walls of the concert hall are all white marble reliefs, and all kinds of exquisite carvings are engraved with some of the most outstanding works in the history of art.The wall columns are covered with red wallpaper with gold trim, which looks very good to the touch, and the light gold vine stripes outline a classical beauty.

People who come to this kind of more formal concert will wear formal clothes politely.Even Daniel, who has always had a big personality, wore a small white suit, and Min Chen inevitably put on a dark black close-fitting suit.

This is an extremely low-key dress, only a certain character is tattooed with silver needlework on the chest, which symbolizes a certain high-end logo.Listening to Daniel's words, Min Chen involuntarily raised his right hand to look at the watch on his wrist, a blue sapphire cufflink shining brightly under the light.

"How long have you been late?" Min Chen asked in a flat tone.

Daniel nods his head as a matter of course: "Also... just three songs?" As soon as Daniel finished speaking, his eyes suddenly touched Min Chen's. He shivered all over his body, and quickly raised his hands in a gesture of surrender: " I was wrong, I was wrong, Auston, I dare not dawdle any longer! Let's go, let's take a seat at this moment, let's go!"

As he spoke, Daniel hurried to the two empty seats, not daring to look back at all.

At this time, the entire audience was applauding for the trumpet performance just now. Occasionally, one or two people who found Daniel's figure were surprised and speechless. Before they recovered, when they saw a slow When the man came here, he was so horrified that he couldn't keep his mouth shut!

The one who was late was actually...

Min Chen? !

-----------

Qi Mu, who had just arrived backstage at this moment, naturally didn't know that there was already some confusion in the front field.

Everyone who is about to perform will go to the backstage to prepare their musical instruments in advance and do a little "warm-up". There will not be many people, so he spotted Sheng Yanhui standing in the corner and adjusting the bowstring at a glance.

Qi Mu curled his lips into a smile, stepped forward and asked, "Sheng Yanhui? Long time no see, has it been two months? I didn't expect to see you here, what a coincidence."

Qi Mu's words were very skillful and polite, making it hard to find fault.But as soon as he finished speaking, Sheng Yanhui raised his head and stared at him seriously for a long time, until even Qi Mu couldn't hold back the expression on his face, and suddenly said: "Unfortunately, I came here specially to find you. "

"..."

bad boy!Definitely a bear!

Seeing the expression of "huh, I'm looking for you" on Sheng Yanhui's face at this moment, Qi Mu somehow thought of this term.

Although feeling extremely helpless in his heart, Qi Mu still asked with a wry smile: "Looking for me?"

Sheng Yanhui nodded: "I'm here to look for you this time, and I want to compete with you in an upright manner! The last match... doesn't count, this time, I hope you can show all your strength Don't worry, I have improved a lot under the guidance of Teacher Carl, and I am definitely not what I used to be."

After saying this, the smile on Qi Mu's face gradually disappeared.

There was a dignified look on the fair and handsome young man's face. He looked at the stubborn boy in front of him seriously for a long time, then suddenly bent down and said solemnly: "Sorry, for some reason... I really can't Going to Munich, last time was my fault, please forgive me."

Sheng Yanhui was stunned and took a step back, his face turned red and white, and he stammered after a long while, "You...you don't have to do this. I only knew about you when the teacher accidentally mentioned it. You deliberately let me. I know everyone has their own difficulties, but in fact...Qi Mu, after listening to what the teacher said, I actually feel a little lucky."

Qi Mu raised his head in surprise, a trace of bewilderment flashed in his light-colored eyes.

"If you didn't lose on purpose, then I...may not be able to go to Munich in this life. I am really old, and I don't know when the next chance will be if I lose another chance. I am very lucky, but I I also feel that the victory is invincible. That’s why today I deliberately postponed the sequence of performances, performed in front of you, and let all the audience present make a judgment for us!”

When it came to the end, Sheng Yanhui became more and more confident as he spoke, and he no longer seemed to shrink back.

But Qi Mu was completely stunned, looked at him in disbelief, and after a long time, asked: "Are you sure?"

Those who participated in this small concert were all well-known people in the industry, and their ears could not go wrong. Therefore, in such concerts, the organizers would deliberately separate the performances of the same musical instruments to avoid contrast among the audience.

Sheng Yanhui nodded solemnly: "I know it's a little threatening to you, but Qi Mu, I'm going to Munich with my teacher soon, I hope... I can compete with you in an upright manner! This is indeed a little risky, if you I really don’t want to, I can go on stage now and stop talking to you about the competition.”

Sheng Yanhui spoke solemnly, and Qi Mu also understood what he meant.

Once the person who loses, it is difficult to be ahead of the other person in the world, unless the level is really much higher, otherwise after many years, when someone mentions the two again, someone will still remember this concert, and let’s talk about it "Oh so-and-so, he played much worse than so-and-so back then."

So Sheng Yanhui also said that even if Qi Mu rejected his competition invitation, he would never complain.

Looking at the other party's serious and dignified expression for a long time, Qi Mu slowly raised the corners of his lips, showing a smile: "I promise you."

Sheng Yanhui was stunned for a moment: "Really?" After thinking for a while, he quickly said: "This is in front of many important people, are you sure you really agreed to compete with me? Once you lose, you... "

"Are you sure I will lose?" Qi Mu raised his eyebrows, and his handsome and beautiful face suddenly returned to the earth like light, and Sheng Yanhui was stunned by that smile, only to hear Qi Mu laughed again: "What happened last time?" It's my fault for keeping you in the dark, if not for this time, I don't think you will forget this knot even when you arrive in Munich, so Professor Carl probably suggested you do this this time, right?"

Sheng Yanhui was stunned: "How do you know..."

Hearing that his guess was right, the smile on Qi Mu's face became even wider. He sighed and said, "No matter what the result is this time, Sheng Yanhui, I hope you can come out soon. Real music doesn't have to be fought for." You are outstanding, and the future you have should not be tied down by such small things."

While talking, Qi Mu suddenly stretched out his hand, smiled and bent his eyes: "Anyway, I'm very glad to have a chance to formally compete with you, let's get to know each other again."

"Hi Sheng Yanhui, I am your opponent tonight—Qi Mu."

Under the dim yellow and warm lighting in the backstage, there was a dazzling smile on the handsome young man's face, his eyes were crooked, and the curve of his lips was so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes off it.

Sheng Yanhui has been learning the piano for more than 20 years, and it was the first time he felt that his hands did not listen to his control. After a long time, he raised his hand to shake Qi Mu's in a daze.When he left the backstage holding the piano and stood on the stage ready to play, Sheng Yanhui suddenly came back to his senses and subconsciously turned to look in the direction of the backstage.

As if inspired by something, Sheng Yanhui took a deep breath and let it out slowly.

Then, the gentle sound of spring water slowly flowed out, filling the small concert hall with an idyllic and rural tranquil atmosphere.This Beethoven's "Spring Sonata" seems to be a ray of soft spring breeze, slowly blowing away the coldness of autumn, and blowing into the hearts of everyone present.

Even Daniel couldn't help smiling and nodding. At the end of the song, he leaned into Min Chen's ear and whispered, "Huaxia is full of talents, Min, this Sheng will...damn what name is it, his "Spring" is pretty good. Hey Min, where are you watching?"

Daniel looked towards Min Chen's line of sight, but he could only faintly see the back of Sheng Yanhui in the backstage, completely unaware of what happened.Daniel touched his head, frowned and said, "What's the matter, Min, why are you..."

"He blushed."

Daniel was taken aback: "Blushing? Who is it?"

The narrow and handsome phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and Min Chen said in a flat tone: "Sheng Yanhui."

Daniel is really puzzled by Monk Zhang Er. He doesn't quite understand why Min pays so much attention to this young man, and he naturally doesn't know. Just before Sheng Yanhui entered the backstage, Min Chen looked at the man standing behind the curtain behind the stage. The young man opened his eyes wide in surprise.

Was Sheng Yanhui talking to...Qi Mu before going on stage?

Then why is he blushing?

After living for almost 30 years, Min Chen felt for the first time what it means to be confused.But without giving him a chance to think again, a figure walking out from the backstage holding a violin made him widen his eyes in surprise, and slowly figured out some things in his mind.

Daniel exclaimed: "How could it be Qi Mu?! This is the end of one violin, and another one?!"
