fully control

Although Lin Xi really hates the kind of rebellious teenagers who are covered in piercings, how can Xiao Ran be compared with those people?Not to mention that Lin Xi is in charge of everything from material selection to design to final disinfection and wearing of this jade ring. Watching the small white jade ring vibrate with Xiao Ran's heartbeat, turning around the white of the full moon in the blush, The hook made Lin Xi feel his throat burning, and even for a moment, he couldn't help but imagine the charming appearance of the remaining jade pieces worn in Xiao Ran's private place.

I knew this little thing would be so seductive...

While rejecting the idea of ​​piercing Xiao Ran Wuxia's body, Lin Xi also regretted that she had no chance to enjoy the benefits, so she took more and more unreasonable demands from Xiao Ran, so that Xiao Ran wiped tears in his arms while holding the piece of paper under her body. The small mouth bit him tightly, and the eager look made Lin Xi feel better.

It's a short and relaxing holiday. The past few days have made Xiao Ran's waist so weak that he often sleeps until noon. Mr. Lin complains at the lunch table that the good guys don't accompany him to do morning exercises, which makes Xiao Ran even more angry at Lin Xi's unscrupulousness. .But Lin Xi was very satisfied. Apart from the same reason behind Xiao Ran's sore back, Lin Xi had achieved his set goal this time, and one of the tasks he had planned had come to a successful conclusion.

After Xiao Zuo relaxed for a week, Lin Xi brought Xiao Ran back to the urban area, to fight the Masters!

It is also two weeks away from the final, but this time Xiao Ran and Ren Zhongxia did not get along, Xiao Ran now understands that he has to take into account his lover's feelings—since Lin Xi has seriously upset Ren Zhongxia's jealousy for no reason.It cannot be denied that Lin Xi now occupies an important place in Xiao Ran's heart. He may not be able to be as thoughtful and considerate as Lin Xi, but his single-minded loyalty to emotional interaction, Xiao Ran believes that this is the minimum moral bottom line.

With such thoughts in mind, Xiao Ran naturally wouldn't rush to find Ren Zhongxia and Li Xia again.And Ren Zhongxia didn't come to drag Xiao Ran to practice the piano together. It's not that this guy has such awareness, but that he is going crazy for some reason now, practicing piano in closed doors all day long. That kind of intensity practice, let alone Lin Xi will prohibit Xiao Ran from going crazy, even Xiao Ran himself has never worked hard to that extent.For Xiao Ran, the piano is more of a hobby.Of course, Lin Xi thought that Xiao Ran couldn't bear that kind of hardship.

Two weeks passed in a blink of an eye. For this Masters, from the recommendation and registration to the preparations, to the preliminary rematch, to the final final, the weather also changed from the hot and dry early autumn to the light snow in the winter.

A total of 15 people entered the finals. This time the finals were not like the previous contestants who had to wait outside, and then waited to be called in one by one to face the judges.This time, everyone sat under the stage in the concert hall to experience the pressure of facing opponents and judges at the same time. If there is a group of relatives and friends to cheer them up, it will be fine, and the group of relatives and friends can also sit under the stage as the audience.Participants should wear formal tuxedo dresses and bow ties. There is also a group of professional orchestras under the stage for those who need to play the piano concerto.In short, you can think of this as a piano concert composed of different performers, rather than a competition scene.

Xiao Ran stood at the entrance of the concert hall and paced differently, looking around.Four days ago, Lin Xi had something to go out suddenly, it seemed that something was so difficult that he had to leave.When Xiao Ran was facing the finals, he made such an accident. Xiao Ran said that he was not disappointed, even though he did not lack friends and relatives——Xiao Ran was the only contestant in their music school who advanced to the finals, one of the only three contestants in Huaguo, and a teacher in the whole school Jia classmates wish they were all his relatives and friends—but Lin Xi is definitely the most important person in Xiao Ran's heart and the most important figure in his relatives and friends who can help him calm down. It's not clear whether Xiao Ran's playing is good or bad.

Early this morning, Lao Hei called back, saying that Lin Xi would be in time to attend the final of Master Xiao Ran.Xiao Ran didn't receive the call in person, but Long Er relayed the truth, so in the cold weather, Xiao Ran got stuck in the time and didn't enter the arena, standing at the door and watching.Holding the warm treasure in his second hand, Long followed behind Xiao Ran's buttocks to comfort——

Since Brother Lin said that he would make it in time, he would not make a mistake.When will the prince be able to speak without counting?

Master, will you be disqualified for being late?

Master Xiao Ran, you'd better go in first, in this cold day, in case your frozen fingers...

Cover it with a warm treasure...you must tell me when it gets cold!

Don't be nervous, don't be nervous...

I'm not nervous, and neither are you...

Following Xiao Ran, Long Er was about to turn into an old woman. At this moment, Xiao Ran suddenly smiled. Long Er saw a silver-gray Lambo trotting towards us in the distance, and when he saw that he was about to hit the steps, he braked suddenly and the rear of the car ran horizontally. Swing, the car was stably across the entrance of the concert hall, the door opened, Lin Xi got out of the car, and walked up the steps to Xiao Ran's side. He was obviously wearing a cashmere coat and scarf hastily put on, and the shirt inside was still Thin silk summer dresses—could it be possible that you traveled to the southern hemisphere this time on a business trip?

"I'm not late." Responding to Li Ran's relief, Lin Xi's eyes were full of smiles, and he held Xiao Ran's cool fingers, "Let's go in."

The two protagonists went in, Long Er bent down and glanced at the driver Cha Daxia, "You are flying very low."

"Damn! Quickly take off one of your clothes and give it to me," Zha Ye poked his head out of the car with a cigarette in his mouth in the freezing cold. He was still wearing a short-sleeved shirt, "This unlucky snow, When I came back, the plane landed in Yan City next door, buddy, I was speeding all the way and was photographed by the street." I guess the direct revocation of the driver's license is light, and if the traffic bureau revokes the driver's license, it will be fined and not allowed to take the exam for several years.Zha Ye put on Long Er's coat and began to pull Long Er to bow his head and smirk badly. This car was recorded in Lobster's name (that guy is busy with his graduation defense recently), and he just waited for the traffic bureau to send the execution notice.

In other words, the two people outside smiled obscenely, while Lin Xi and Xiao Ran sat in the concert hall seriously.They were not late, but they were also the last ones to come in. Ren Zhongxia deliberately occupied several seats in the front row for his boss, relatives and friends, as well as for Master Guo, Xiao Ran, and even Lin Xi. The budget is out.

Lin Xi and Xiao Ran came in hand in hand, which made Zhong Xia look sideways. The two of them didn't even let go of their hands after sitting down, but then Ren Zhongxia felt the cold air brought by Xiao Ran from outside, and couldn't help shivering.

"Aww!" Ren Zhongxia screamed strangely, stretched out his claws to grab Xiao Ran's hand to cover him, Xiao Ran was so frightened that he quickly retracted his hands and hid, just kidding, the vinegar jar is right next to him.

Ren Zhongxia was caught off guard and was taken aback for a moment, but then he patted his forehead, thinking that Xiao Ran was afraid of giving him the chill.That's right, he and Xiao Ran's matches are quite high, he is even higher than Xiao Ran!

"Then who..." Ren Zhongxia turned his head and pointed at a strange face behind him, probably his relatives and friends, "I don't have eyesight, come here and cover Xiao Ran's hands."

"It's okay. There's no rush." ​​Lin Xi almost pulled half of Xiao Ran's body into his arms.

"I heard from Professor Guo that you have lost your temper while practicing the piano?" Xiao Ran changed the subject at the same time, diverting Ren Zhongxia's attention. "This kind of pass, you are not afraid of muscle strain..."

"Hey!" Ren Zhongxia smiled at Xiao Ran quite proudly and strangely.

It is very difficult to break through the bottleneck. It requires hard work and opportunities.Ren Zhongxia was stuck at that threshold and hadn't been diligent for a long time, but meeting Lin Xiaoran this time made him perfect.In the past three weeks, Ren Zhongxia has been experiencing the gradual refinement of the previous skills that he had been familiar with into his own personal style. The process made him forget himself, and he became what the professors said was obsession.

In fact, this process of improvement needs a long period of time to slowly digest and absorb. Ren Zhongxia's madness in the past three weeks can at most be regarded as a small skill after getting started, but his progress can be said to be different from what it used to be. Of course, he smiled proudly up!Being able to increase the weight to overwhelm Xiao Ran before the finals, naturally he laughed strangely.

"Junior Brother Xiao Ran," Ren Zhongxia called him this for the first time, "You really want to call me Senior Brother Ren this time... Hia, hia, hia!" Ren Zhongxia's low and weird laugh was slapped by his boss Pat on the back of the head.

Professor Xu: "You have to be serious!"

The game started.

Ren Zhongxia still displayed his incomparably gorgeous skills in the competition, but it was different from the simple and gorgeous in the past. They were quite surprised, perhaps the same as the astonishment that Xiao Ran gave them at the beginning - just three weeks of absence, three days of admiration is not enough to describe, this is simply a complete transformation!Perhaps the personal style is still a little immature, but everyone seems to have seen the appearance of a world-famous master in the next few decades.

The judges recorded their comments with different thoughts, but the scores were not in a hurry to give a one-step conclusion, but only gave an excellent but relatively conservative range.Under Ren Zhongxia's halo, the two contestants following Ren Zhongxia's halo seemed to be mediocre, and their scores would naturally be lowered. Then, Lin Xiaoran, who was looking forward to it, came on stage. The judges saw Xiao Ran on stage, with serious expressions on their faces, or Complicated, or tangled expressions of various colors.

Ren Zhongxia took a super-difficult Liszt piece that required a lot of fingering skills to show his strengths, and Xiao Ran of course also chose a piece that can show his strengths—it doesn’t require high skills, but it is extremely rich in content. Also played the extremely difficult "Moonlight Sonata".Quan Fengzhun was the only person other than Ren Zhongxia who had been taught beforehand, and he was shocked at that time, but don't forget that at that time Xiao Ran was just practicing with his senior brother, although he had no other intentions, but his seriousness and The state of concentration can't be compared with a formal game at all.Therefore, although the cannon fodder Quan Bangzi had already been shocked by Xiao Ran once, in this official occasion, Quan Fengzhun, who had already prepared himself, received no less blow than other contestants.

The judges are really struggling.

Seriously speaking, after Steve just listened to Ren Zhongxia's performance, it almost made him want to withdraw his comment that Lin Xiaoran won the championship three weeks ago in the preliminary round (it was stopped by Shanye at that time).When he was listening to Ren Zhongxia's performance just now, he suddenly felt that Shan Ye might be right.Ren Zhongxia's leaping progress made him amazed, so much so that Steve felt that his impression of Lin Xiaoran's astonishment three weeks ago had faded a bit, and he couldn't help doubting his own judgment at the time, his memory was a little fuzzy, because he felt If Ren Zhongxia wins the championship in the end, it is well deserved.

In the comments, Steve gave Ren Zhongxia high praise, but in the end, he still gave a relatively conservative score.Not for anything else, just for the brilliance of Lin Xiaoran that he once caught a glimpse of.Not surprisingly, Steve saw the scores of other judges, and they were relatively conservative—look, everyone was equally conflicted and expecting!

Then, after two drowsy second-rate performances (commented by the Polish master Moritz), they once again saw Lin Xiaoran's appearance with great anticipation.

"Moonlight Sonata", even a schoolchild who has just passed the fifth grade of piano, would not say that this piece is difficult to play, but similarly, even a world-renowned pianist would not dare to say that he 'knows' how to play Beethoven The famous song "Moonlight", which shows the extraordinaryness of this song.Different from the first preliminary competition, Lin Xiaoran at that time was a little-known cannon fodder in the preliminary competition in the eyes of the judges, so once he performed beyond expectations, it was easy to give people a surprising feeling.But this time, after the judges vaguely had expectations for him, if Xiao Ran's performance wanted to be rated as 'amazing', it would be more difficult than adding one or two points, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that the expectation index increased exponentially ——This is not a good thing, because as the saying goes, the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment—in many cases, it is not because it is not good enough, but because the expectation is too high.

Under such an unfavorable premise, as a result, Xiao Ran's "Moonlight" made the judges 'amazing' again and it really grew exponentially!

Steve felt his blood pressure go up and he needed some aspirin.If in the preliminary round, Lin's "Sonata in B Flat Minor" allowed them to appreciate the depth of Lin Xiaoran's understanding of the music and the strength of his interpretation, then this song "Moonlight" clearly told them that what they thought was just ' Thought' only.Lin Xiaoran's understanding of music and sincerity is a talent, an unparalleled talent.That would be a never-ending depth, or height.The judges had to unanimously call a front-court break because they needed calm, they needed to breathe.

"Gentlemen, as I said before in the preliminary round, it is not too early to discuss the championship!" Steve said after swallowing two aspirins from the judge Moritz. Said.

Yes, at least for the sake of Yamano needing to swallow aspirin like Moritz, Steve felt that he was absolutely right in insisting on the view that 'delicious food is delicious as long as you smell it'!The champion of this competition will be between Ren Zhongxia and Lin Xiaoran, there is no doubt about it!As for the rest of the contestants who haven't appeared on the stage-what a joke, hasn't he never heard their performances?To put it in a compliment, after Lin Xiaoran's wonderful performance, if there is still a player who has not been hit and lost confidence, well, he can consider giving him No.3, not for the music, but for the perseverance and confidence. Courage is good.

The judges were arguing secretly in the background, each with their own insistence, while the contestants and their relatives and friends who were taking a break outside came out of the concert hall one after another, chatting and chatting in the corridor, drinking coffee, and reciting piano scores. Spectrum...all very busy.Lin Xi had to go out to talk on the phone in this spare time, and he didn't come back for more than ten minutes after talking, which confirmed the image of the business elite in Ren Zhongxia's heart - just like his old man, who was with Tongshou all day long, vulgar!

Ren Zhongxia dragged the decent Xiao Ran to gossip with his boss, during which time he yelled at Lin Xiaojun one by one, didn't Ren Zhongxia think that he could overwhelm Xiao Ran this time, wasn't he praying for the final victory and chanting a spell?

"Look at that Ruan...what's his name Ruan? His defeated opponent..." Ren Zhongxia commented on some players who hadn't played yet in a tone that didn't want to be beaten. "And that fake foreign devil, he was yelling at you last time, look at his face now... that pineapple head over there..."

"Keep your voice down! Junior Brother Ren!" Xiao Ran couldn't help but pull Ren Zhongxia.Although there are only three people from China who made it to the finals, the players from the Asia-Pacific region, especially those from Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam... There are quite a few of them are of Chinese descent, or of mixed race, they may understand Chinese, okay? ?

Ren Zhongxia raised his chin and curled his mouth, "Why bother? Bad is bad. The judges called for an intermission at this time, and the people behind you have already taken a huge advantage! Why don't you let me talk about it?"

If there is no such temporary buffer, Lin Xiao and those people on the stage will be in a mess.Not to mention the issue of confidence, but the difference in the aura of the performance is enough to lower their impression in the minds of the judges by three ranks.

Half an hour of the intermission passed quickly, and when the judges came back, their faces were flushed abnormally, as if they had just quarreled violently.Then, Master Shanye reported Lin Xiaoran's final comprehensive evaluation - a full thirty points less than Ren Zhongxia.

"What?" Ren Zhongxia's unbelievable voice squeezed through his teeth.

thirty marks!

This is not the difference between the champion and the runner-up at all. Thirty points is enough to knock Xiao Ran out of ten.When the judges announced the results, I don't know if it was due to his psychological influence. He felt that the concert hall was silent for a moment, extremely quiet, and the next second, it was the voice of the judges calling the next contestant to come on stage.
