King of Classical Music

Reed Akkad has lived for more than 70 years, what kind of situation has he not seen?

He has known Min Chen for more than ten years. Although he didn't know each other like he did with Master Fale, it's okay to joke occasionally.And the best choice at this time is-

Play stupid.

That's right, just pretending to be stupid.

After the well-known violin master greeted Min Chen as if nothing had happened, he turned to look at his lovely student and said, "Xiaoqi, you "No. 34" has made great progress, and it really exceeded my expectations."

All those who are still standing in place: "..."

Min Chen sat on the black piano bench calmly, didn't speak, just looked at them with long eyes.

And Qi Mu said dumbfoundingly: "Teacher, it's not number 34, it's number 24..."

Professor Akad coughed twice to hide his embarrassment, and he said: "Okay, Xiaoqi, you can play this piece for me alone, if you can still keep the ensemble If it is at the level of the time, then you don’t need to spend any more time on this piece.”

Now that Master Akkad has put up his old face to do this, as his lovely student, Qi Mu naturally gave the teacher a lot of face, and very cooperatively began to play "Capriccio No. 24" alone.

When playing with Min Chen these two days, Qi Mu rarely had the chance to play this piece alone, but it was not impossible.But now, he is not a little bit nervous, but is very much looking forward to how far he can perform.

Without the accompaniment of the piano, what kind of music would he play alone...?

The result naturally surprised Qi Mu, he never expected that in the absence of the piano to guide him, he would not feel blocked at all, but felt completely released, and he could still grasp the original subtle inspiration.

After listening to the song "No. 24", Professor Akad nodded and praised: "Although it is not as powerful as the ensemble just now, you have controlled it very well. Taking this piece as an example, you have already It's time for a solo recital."

Qi Mu put down the violin and said with a smile, "Thank you teacher."

In fact, at Qi Mu's level, how could it take until now to hold a recital?

In his previous life, he already had the level of holding a solo concert, and even a concert hall invited him.It's just because Master Akad's requirements are too high. In his ears, among the pieces Qi Mu can play, only this "No. 24" can be regarded as truly excellent.

Professor Akad rubbed his chin, and suddenly thought: "Except for this song "No. 24"... I will give you another piece of music in class tomorrow. I hope you can finish it within a week, is that okay? "

Before Qi Mu could answer, Delan who was standing aside exclaimed, "Oh my God! One week?! Only seven days? How is it possible that someone can practice such a difficult piece of music perfectly in seven days?"

De Lan didn't know which piece Professor Akad would give Qi Mu, but he guessed that at least the difficulty of this piece would not be lower than Paganini's "No. 24".

You know, Derain himself is still practicing Strauss's pieces, and he has only come into contact with two or three pieces of Paganini's pieces.Moreover, Delan's mentor gave him at least two weeks of practice time, so Delan felt that the time was too tight.

Hearing Delan's exclamation, Qi Mu raised the corners of his lips helplessly, glanced at him with a smile, and said, "Delan, you are still young, I am two years older than you."

When Qi Mu was in Huaxia, he was the youngest member of the band.But now in the college, at the age of 22, he can already be regarded as an "older student", and there are only a few years left before graduation.

It's normal for Professor Akad to speed up his study, after all... In a few years, Qi Mu might become the oldest senior in the violin department.

The tall Delan touched his nose and smiled a few times.Professor Akad glanced at the stupid big man in disgust, and continued to say to Qi Mu: "Xiao Qi, it's getting late today, so you should go back first. Get ready to go to the piano room tomorrow, our own Qin room, do you know?"

Deliberately emphasizing the words "our piano room", Professor Akad glanced at the man who was still sitting by the piano gloomily.I saw Min Chen looking at them with a half-smile, tapping lightly on the piano cover with his fingers.

Qi Mu smiled helplessly: "Yes, I will be in the piano room on time at eight o'clock tomorrow morning, teacher."

After Professor Akad praised Qi Mu with satisfaction, Qi Mu packed up his things and planned to leave. When he turned around and wanted to ask Min Chen to go with him, Professor Akad suddenly said: "By the way, little Seven, you can go alone, Oston and I... still have something to talk about."

Qi Mu was startled when he heard the words, he raised his eyes to look at Min Chen, then left with a smile.Before leaving, he sensibly took away the silly Delan who was staring aside, and closed the door of the piano room.

After the crisp sound of closing the door, only Min Chen and Professor Akad were left in the quiet piano room.

The former is sitting leisurely on the piano bench, and covers the piano cover casually.The latter, on the other hand, paced around the room with some hesitation. After a long time, Professor Akad seemed to have made up his mind and walked to Min Chen's side.

"That...er...Oston, I don't know if you know something..."

Professor Akad's hesitant voice made Min Chen raise his eyebrows, he looked up at the other party, and said in a very gentle tone: "Reed, when did we become so unfamiliar? Just tell me if you have anything to say, can you?" I will do my best to help you.”

"..." Professor Akad touched his arm involuntarily, wiping away the goosebumps all over his body.

After a long time, he said helplessly: "Well, Min... Actually, this matter has something to do with Xiao Qi. You know, Qi has just come to the academy not long ago, and he took the path of special recruitment. If his age is the same as He is very young compared to entering the orchestra, but in this academy, he is definitely not the youngest generation."

Suddenly hearing the familiar name, Min Chen's casual expression suddenly became solemn.He frowned slightly and said, "So...?"

"In three years at most, Xiaoqi will reach the average age of graduates, but during this period of time, I don't think he needs to go so long. He is almost wasting his youth in the academy. So I want... let him be with you and Ke Like Dory, take the path of graduating early."

Hearing this, Min Chen's fingers tapping on the piano keys suddenly stopped, his eyebrows frowned, he looked up at Professor Akad, and said bluntly: "Reed, Qi Mu's situation is different from that of me and Kedo. It’s a little different here, the National Supérieure de Conservatoire de Paris has never graduated early, it’s not Leipzig, it’s not Munich.”

Professor Akad shook his head: "Namin, before you, did Leipzig have any students who graduated early?"

These words made Min Chen stop his voice suddenly, he pondered for a long time with a complex expression, and finally said: "Kedori has a precedent."

"However, you don't have such a precedent." Professor Akad said with a serious expression, "Min, since you can do it, so can my students. Everything has a precedent. Perhaps Xiao Qi should set the precedent for this."

Min Chen closed his eyes silently, and didn't say anything more.

Seeing the other party's appearance of "already agreeing", Professor Akad nodded with a smile, and then said in a flattering tone: "Since you also think... Xiao Qi should graduate early, then, Min, you take good care of my students like this. Shouldn't you...do you need to do something?"

In the end, Professor Akad's fox tail was finally exposed.

Min Chen raised his eyes to look at him, his thin lips curled slightly: "How can I help?"

"Before I discussed with the college, if Xiaoqi can get a high score of 90 points or more in the two assessments every semester, then he can graduate from the college directly after one year. So..."

"Okay, I'll be a judge."

"So can I ask you... eh?! How do you know?!" Professor Akad widened his eyes in horror, he looked Min Chen up and down for a while, and asked, "When will you know how to do divination? Min?!"

Min Chen lowered his eyes calmly, shook his head and said, "The day before you came back, Dean Desiwa invited me to be the main judge for the first evaluation of the college this semester. I was still hesitating at first, but now If so...then agree."

Akad: "@#%@＄#^@%＄@..."

The evening wind blows slowly, and the sky in Paris today is covered with thick clouds, blocking most of the rays of the setting sun.Min Chen cleaned the piano for a while, then covered it thoroughly, then got up and planned to leave.

While he was tidying up, he could only hear Professor Akad muttering in a low voice, the voice was too small, if it wasn't for Min Chen's excellent hearing, otherwise even he might not be able to hear clearly: "Well... Min, you are actually a pretty good person."

Min Chen raised an eyebrow: "What?"

Professor Akad said bluntly: "I've heard about you helping Evra in London before. I didn't expect that little fat man named Jasko to be so stupid that he couldn't even keep the score. Fortunately, you are here."

Only then did Min Chen understand what the other party was talking about, and he nodded lightly: "Well, it's not a big deal."

Just as they were talking, the two planned to walk out of the piano room together.Professor Akad hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "Actually, Min... Even if you are gay, I don't mean to discriminate against you at all. I don't discriminate against homosexuals. I'm sorry for what happened last time. Actually, I thought about it later, and it seems that you haven't been with any girl in these years, so if you can find a lover to accompany you for the rest of your life, that would be a very happy thing."

Min Chen paused, turned to look at Akad, and asked, "Am I not gay?"

Akade immediately waved his hand: "No, no, no, I mean, whether you are gay or not, I wish you the best of luck in finding a lover who will be with you for the rest of your life." Of course, that person had better not be his lovely student.

Min Chen gave a meaningful "oh", then he opened the door of the piano room, took half a step, and then turned his head calmly and said, "Then I seem to be...actually gay".As soon as the voice fell, he turned around and left without giving the little old man in the room any time to react.

After a few seconds, Professor Akad roared angrily: "Auston Bertram! Tell me clearly, do you have any unreasonable thoughts about my lovely student!!! You give I come back!!!"

The layers of clouds covering the sky gradually dispersed with the evening wind blowing.Under the warm and warm sunset, a handsome and tall young man is holding a violin case in his left hand, leaning against the violin department building of the Paris National Supérieure de Conservatoire, waiting for someone.

Qi Mu wore a small light gray coat today, as if afraid of the cold, and wrapped a long beige scarf around his neck.The woolen scarf rubbed against the young man's face, shrinking half of his face inside, like some kind of small animal like a dumpling.

He didn't make Qi Mu wait long, before he saw the handsome man.He walked forward with a smile and asked, "I didn't expect you to come out so soon. I thought Teacher Akad would talk to you for a while."

Min Chen was also very surprised when he saw Qi Mu. He thought that the young man had left long ago, but when he saw Qi Mu leaning against the round stone pillar downstairs of the college waiting for him, Min Chen felt a little bit After a pause, an indescribable feeling spread from my heart.

"Well, nothing important."

Of course Qi Mu didn't take Min Chen's words seriously, but he knew that even Bo Ai's concert could only be regarded as "so-so" in the other party's mouth, so it can be seen that this man never felt nervous anymore.

Carrying the piano case, Qi Mu walked on the white cobblestone path, and said: "During the practice this evening, I really felt what you wanted to express. Thank you for practicing with me these few days, wasteful Your time is up." After a pause, he continued: "Min Chen, actually I really think you are a nice person, although sometimes you can't express it well, but...you still care about people."

Hearing this, Min Chen raised an eyebrow, but didn't say anything.

Qi Mu didn't notice the abnormality of the other party. He raised his eyes to look at the sky that was rendered rose red by the sunset, narrowed his eyes slightly, and recalled: "I used to... also know a good person. He is very enthusiastic, because I The reason why I just arrived here is that I also take good care of me.”

What Qi Mu said was very vague, and almost no one could guess what he was talking about.I just heard him continue: "But then I found out that this person is actually very cold. He is cold to the bone. It is really unbelievable that he... would be such a person."

As he spoke, Qi Mu's voice gradually dropped.

In fact, after hearing the sound of Luo Yusen closing the door, Qi Mu could not believe it——

There really are people in the world who can be that vicious.

Under the setting sun, the young man lowered his head slightly, and his handsome face was covered with a layer of shadow. He looked down at the raised pebbles on the ground, which reflected gem-like light under the sunlight.

Qi Mu didn't know, he looked down at the cobblestone, and the man walking beside him was staring at him with slightly wide eyes.

The man's heart was beating thumpingly in his chest, and the rhythm was getting faster and faster. In the end, even Min Chen himself couldn't ignore the rhythm of the heart that was about to jump out of his chest.

The pebbles on the ground are shining brightly, but they are not as good as the dejected expression of the young man in front of him.

The sound of students playing musical instruments can be heard everywhere in the campus. Maybe the music is not perfect, but it makes Qi Mu relax slowly, and his mood, which was depressed because of thinking of a certain scum, is much lighter.

Even Qi Mu himself didn't know why he suddenly said such words to Min Chen.However, after telling the secret hidden in his heart, Qi Mu felt a little relieved.

Some things, which have been suppressed in the bottom of my heart, just need a way to be released.Like... share with someone, even if that person doesn't understand what the hell you're talking about.

As if realizing that he actually regarded this man as a "venting bucket", Qi Mu smiled and bent his eyes, looked up at him, and said, "Sorry, I said something to make you..."

Qi Mu's voice stopped abruptly.He stared blankly at the man in front of him, only to see that the man was reaching out to touch his hair, and the fingertips had already touched his forehead, which made Qi Mu's heart tremble, and he felt a strange feeling of numbness from The places where the skin touches spread out.

The man obviously didn't expect Qi Mu to turn his head back suddenly. He was taken aback for a moment, then coughed lightly, and said, "There is a white petal on your head, I want to take it..."

Before he finished speaking, Min Chen suddenly took a step back, looking at the top of Qi Mu's head expressionlessly, without saying a word.

The beautiful atmosphere just now disappeared without a trace, Qi Mu frowned in surprise, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"... There are bugs."

Qi Mu: "..."

The young man touched his hair reflexively, and quickly wiped a small white bug off his head. His actions were brutal and decisive, and his face showed no expression.

Min Chen: "..."

Seeing the guarded expression on the other party's face, Qi Mu finally couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Min Chen, if Delan...no, let your music fans see you now, then it should be what to do?"

"..."

Qi Mu rolled his eyes, and deliberately said maliciously: "Probably...fans turn to passers-by, and passers-by turn to black?"

"..."

"Well, at least they will be disappointed. After all, how could they think that you are... eh, are you angry? I was just joking, don't worry, I will never tell anyone else about this, I swear to God!"

"..."

"Well, I don't believe in God, what about another? I swear on Paganini?"

"..."

"You don't even believe in Paganini? Well, then I really... eh?"

Qi Mu fell silent in a daze, and his light-colored eyes widened in horror—at this moment, his waist was tightly hugged by the other party, and the distance was so close that he could even smell the faint fragrance of the other party's body.

The surroundings suddenly fell silent, and Qi Mu didn't know if anyone would see this scene in the academy after school, but at this moment, he didn't have the mind to take care of these things, because he felt that his body had become very sensitive, You can even feel the temperature of the other party touching your arm.

"I'm not afraid of bugs." A deep and magnetic male voice rang in Qi Mu's ears, and the hot air from his breath made him suddenly feel a little itchy at the tip of his ears, "I'm just...disgusted with them."

Qi Mu: "..."

So, are you still afraid?

Qi Mu didn't figure it out until after washing the clothes by himself at night: How can there be a big man who is so afraid of bugs?

As for the hug you asked about?

Xiao Qi had already thought of the answer: "In order not to let others hear the three words 'fear of bugs', of course I have to whisper it in my ear."

So, in the weekly cross-ocean phone call between Qi Mu and Zheng Weiqiao that night, Qi Mu didn't tell what happened during the day to this housekeeper who was always nagging.

What he didn't know was that in a high-end apartment on the other side of Paris, a certain man rubbed his fingertips and said in a low voice, "The clothes are really... very thick."

In the dark night sky, a hazy crescent moon hangs.After drying all the clothes out, Qi Mu looked at the thin sharp moon and said with emotion: "It's understandable to be afraid of snakes, tigers, and lions. Why are you... afraid of bugs?"

"It's really incomprehensible..."

In fact, what is even more incomprehensible is that some people have lower emotional intelligence than the other!
