are you a cat

The capital of Country E is a world-famous ancient city with a history of more than 800 years. Gorgeous and exquisite buildings like castles can be seen everywhere in the city, with onion domes and bright colors, so it is also known as the City of Thousand Tops.

Xu Yuxing has lived in this city for six or seven years and is very familiar with it.

Xu Yuxing took Yechen to visit this city with thousands of roofs. The red bricks shone solemnly in the sun, and the reliefs on the walls of palaces and churches were still brightly colored. Drink coffee.

It's so uncomfortable.

After eating outside after dark, the two reached a bus passing the Kremlin, passing the cathedral, and returning to the hotel.

The first thing he did when he went back was to pull out his sketchbook and sit on the rocking chair on the balcony, using his memory to lay out the bright colors with concise lines and unique shapes in his mind on the paper.

He painted seriously, and didn't notice that Xu Yuxing, who was leaning against the door frame, pointed the camera at him for a long time.

Outside the balcony was a clear and starless navy blue night, the street scene was lively, and occasionally the noise of passers-by downstairs could be heard, but in Xu Yuxing's eyes, nothing could compare to this corner of the balcony.

The next day Xu Yuxing went to visit his teacher alone, and then took Yechen to the orchestra.

Almost everyone I met on the road would come over to say hello to Xu Yuxing, and then speaking to Ye Chen with a crappy accent, perhaps the only Chinese he could speak: "Tired, have you done it?"

These people were Xu Yuxing's former colleagues, and even these copied and pasted Chinese vocabulary may have been taught by Xu Yuxing.

Xu Yuxing's height stood out among the group of foreigners. He was surrounded by his former colleagues, talking in a language that Ye Chen didn't understand, and the smiles on everyone's faces were genuine and friendly.

Xu Yuxing moved closer to Yechen's ear: "Everyone hasn't seen me for a long time, so they are a little enthusiastic."

He was afraid that he would neglect to talk to his former colleagues until Ye Chen was explaining to him.

"It's okay," Ye Chen said, "don't worry about me."

He is not a child who can't distinguish between priorities.

This band carried a part of Xu Yuxing's past time, and it was the beginning of his career. He left for a year and a half, but apart from him, there was not much change in the band.

It is normal for everyone to see him, greet him, and express their miss for him.

Yechen didn't feel left out, instead he seemed to see another Xu Yuxing, young and flamboyant, walking through the corridor with his colleagues holding a violin, entering and exiting the rehearsal hall.

"Shin! Xiaochen!" In contrast, a voice that read Chinese with a more formal accent came in.

Just by hearing the address, you can know who the other party is.

Victor jumped out from nowhere and squeezed into the innermost part of the crowd: "Why don't you call me when you're here, Julia told me you were here."

Someone said, "Hey Victor, shouldn't you be getting ready for the show tonight?"

"I can play out the song tonight with my eyes closed," Victor patted him with a smile, and then asked Yechen, "Xiaochen, how is Xu Yuxing playing with you these few days?"

It happened that Xu Yuxing was afraid that Yechen would be bored by himself, so it was rare that he didn't stop Victor.

Although he had been with Victor for a few days before when he came to Rongcheng, Yechen was not very familiar with Victor, and his enthusiasm for him was a bit overwhelming.

He could only respond politely: "It's okay."

Victor reported a few place names, and asked Xu Yuxing if he took him there. Yechen said they had gone, and Victor said a few more places: "What about here?"

Ye Chen shook his head.

Victor's eyes lit up, and he introduced himself: "Then shall I take you there tomorrow?"

"No need," Ye Chen said, "Xu Yuxing can just take me there."

"He's a foreigner, so I'm more familiar with him." Victor glanced at Xu Yuxing, who was still talking to other people, and wanted to take the opportunity to abduct Yechen, "Come on, I'll take you to the orchestra first." turn around."

As soon as he finished speaking, before he could steal Yechen away, Xu Yuxing grabbed Yechen's hand and brought him to him like he had eyes behind his back.

"Thank you for your kindness, I can take Xiaochen there myself." Xu Yuxing said with disgust.

Victor: "?"

"Then I will go with you," he said.

Yechen said, "Turn back."

Victor turned back as he said, and Tan Dao stood outside the crowd with a dark face, stared at him for two seconds, and strode over.

"Damn..." Victor frowned, and was dragged away by Tan Dao by his collar.

Ye Chen could still hear the other party asking him in Chinese: "Why did you promise me before?"

"Baby, Xiaodao..." Victor originally wanted to say a few nice words to appease his jealous little boyfriend, but he suddenly thought of something in the middle of the sentence, and raised his voice to Xu Yuxing, "Shin, take Xiaochen later!" Come to the show!"

Qin Dao gritted his teeth: "Victor!"

Xu Yuxing asked Yechen, "Do you want to go?"

Ye Chen asked, "Where is it?"

Xu Yuxing bid farewell to his colleagues without letting go of Yechen's hand: "In addition to the usual large-scale performances, the orchestra also often holds some small concerts in our rehearsal hall."

At this moment, the concert hadn't started yet, so Xu Yuxing took Yechen around the orchestra first, and occasionally heard some rehearsal sounds.The two ate in the canteen, and Xu Yuxing told Ye Chen that he learned to cook after getting tired of eating in the canteen, and then took him to the rehearsal hall before the concert.

It is said to be a small concert, but it actually accommodates hundreds of spectators.

The auditorium was not full, and the two found an empty seat to sit down.

The musicians performing on stage looked very young, and a girl who looked about fifteen or sixteen years old was sitting alone in front of the piano.

"That girl is Sophie, she is only 16 years old this year." Xu Yuxing said, "She is the daughter of our conductor."

People love to say that hard work can make up for weakness, but talent is also very important on the road of classical music.

Internationally well-known performers are basically famous at a young age. They were born in an art family, studied under Da Na, and it is normal to win various competition awards since they were young.

Just like Sophie.

And those ordinary musicians who don't have a blockbuster are just ordinary musicians in the orchestra all their lives.

The violin played the first syllable, and the light melody was beautiful and wonderful.

Keep quiet when listening to the concert. The two of them spoke in a very low voice, almost whispering to each other's ears.

Ye Chen sounded a little familiar, especially after the piano came on stage. There was a high probability that he had learned this piece when he was learning piano, but Ye Chen couldn't remember it.He leaned against Xu Yuxing and asked softly, "What song is this?"

Xu Yuxing: "The Second Piano Concerto, by Chopin."

This piece was written by Chopin for his first love and also for his crush.

The melody is hot and beautiful, interpreting the pain of longing and the complicated and hazy love.

The unique charm of music seems to be that it can concretize human emotions that are difficult to fully express in words, and even the same movement will produce subtle changes due to the different moods of the performers.

Yechen looked at Victor who was sitting in the chief position of the first violin group on the stage, and turned to look at Xu Yuxing.

The latter seriously felt the music flowing in the air, held Yechen's hand, and squeezed it lightly.

Xu Yuxing kept his eyes on the front, and after a while, he turned his head slightly, and asked Yechen, "What's wrong?"

"I was wondering what you were like in the band before."

Yechen had seen Xu Yuxing play classical music, but he had never seen him in the concert hall or on the stage.

But he felt it should be dazzling.

Xu Yuxing raised his chin towards the stage: "Same as them."

Wearing a tuxedo and sitting at a music stand is no different: "Rehearsals, performances, occasional swapping instruments with colleagues."

Yechen: "Swap instruments?"

"Yes." Xu Yuxing nodded, and he smiled, "Sometimes the string group and the string group are switched, and sometimes the string group and the wind group are switched, for example, they are all violins, and if you change the instrument, you will be the younger brother. Don't look at it." I play the violin pretty well, and the bass (double bass) is just a percussion instrument in my hands, and then I hold those flutes and clarinets and the like, and I can’t play it directly, and I don’t even know how to change the breath.”

"It sounds pretty fun." Ye Chen said.

Xu Yuxing: "Do you want to play? I'll lend you a piano after the show is over, or go back to the hotel and use mine?"

Yechen: "Go back to the hotel."

He paused, then asked again: "Then have you ever regretted leaving the symphony orchestra?"

Leaving his comfortable comfort zone and going to a brand new field, especially today when he returns to the band that has honored him, does he miss it more or regret it more?

Xu Yuxing smiled, and looked away from Yechen's face. He looked at the little girl under the stage who was fully immersed in the music, and then turned his gaze back to Yechen's ear: "Why do you ask this suddenly?"

Ye Chen said, "Just ask."

Xu Yu tilted his head and leaned against Ye Chen, while squeezing his fingers into Ye Chen's, he said, "I never regret the decisions I make."

Yechen tried to pull his hand lightly, but Xu Yuxing held onto the back of his hand firmly.

Yechen: "I see that many people on the Internet feel sorry for you."

In the eyes of everyone, it seems that playing rock and band with such a high-profile status as a performer is self-degrading.

"There's nothing to regret," Xu Yuxing said, "I'm just a violin player. And..."

Xu Yuxing took Yechen's hand to his lips, and lightly bit his knuckles: "If I didn't go to a band, how could I meet you, kid."

These words made goose bumps all over his body: "Are you disgusting?"

He blinked quickly, took his hand out of Xu Yuxing's hand, pursed his mouth and stopped talking.

It was the blushing ear tips that exposed the heart of the person concerned.

Xu Yuxing couldn't help laughing, and didn't call him any more. The two of them put their shoulders together and listened to the whole concert quietly.

After returning to the hotel, Xu Yuxing took the piano out of the case and handed it to Yechen: "Try?"

Yechen held the violin in one hand and the bow in the other, unable to start.

"Put the piano here." Xu Yuxing gently held Yechen's chin on the chin rest, took his hand and taught him how to hold the piano and the bow, "In this position, try pulling it."

Then the violin made the sound of sawing wood in Yechen's hand.

The two looked at each other, and Yechen was extremely disgusted: "This is too ugly."

"It was like this at the beginning," Xu Yuxing said, "Which violin learner hasn't sawed wood for a few months."

As he spoke, he walked behind Yechen, wrapped his hand holding the bow with his right hand, held down the strings with his left hand, and led Yechen to pull the bow with Yechen completely in his arms.

The violin made a clear string sound.

Xu Yuxing took him to play several syllables, the phone on the sofa turned on, Xu Yuxing glanced at it, let go of Yechen: "You play first, I'll go out for a while."

As soon as he let go, the violin, who was so obedient just now, immediately revealed in front of Yechen that he never wanted to be tamed.

Yechen frowned for a long time, finally lost his patience, and put the piano in its case and put it away.

He glanced at the time, it was almost twelve o'clock, and he didn't know why Xu Yuxing was going out at night.

He was a little tired and planned to take a shower first.

Ye Chen came out of the bathroom and found that the lights in the room were all off, only a faint light came from the balcony, a fluffy ball.

"Xu Yuxing?" He wiped his hair and walked over, "What are you doing?"

After stepping out of the balcony, I realized that the light came from the cake on the small table.

On the cake with the words "Happy Birthday Ning Ning" stuck two number candles, Ye Chen remembered that his birthday seemed to be coming.

It should be said that it will be here soon.

Xu Yuxing asked Yechen to sit down, and didn't allow him to move the cake. When the number turned to zero, he looked at Yechen and said, "Little birthday boy, happy birthday."

Ye Chen smiled, "Thank you."

Xu Yuxing: "Make a wish."

Yechen didn't move: "Did you forget?"

Xu Yuxing: "What?"

Yechen raised his eyes: "I don't eat sweets."

"I haven't forgotten." Xu Yuxing laughed, "But how can you not blow out candles and eat cake on your birthday?"

He rubbed Yechen's head, his fingertips were stained with water from his hair that hadn't been completely wiped off, and he said softly, "And no one can take this cake away."

Yechen stared straight at him, his eyes were darkened by the night, and there were small clusters of candlelight in his eyes.

"Hurry up and make a wish." Xu Yuxing said.

"I made a wish last year." The small flame on the candle was slightly shaken by the wind, and Yechen clasped his hands together to help them block the wind. He lowered his eyes, and his eyes fell on the flickering candle.Ye Chen was quiet, and searched to find some embarrassing memories for him a year ago, "I hope someone loves me."

The candlelight reflected on his face, flickering on and off.

Xu Yuxing asked, "Did it come true?"

"Yeah." Ye Chen nodded heavily, and he looked at Xu Yuxing, "It's done."

Xu Yuxing saw himself wrapped in flames in those bright black eyes.

"What about this year," he asked Yechen, "what wish are you going to make?"

Yechen was silent for a long time: "I hope this cake will never be snatched away."

"This cake belongs to you," Xu Yuxing assured, "No one can take it away."

Yechen blew out the candle, leaned forward and kissed Xu Yuxing's lips.

The author has something to say: Xiaochen subtext: I hope you love me forever.

So what, my dears, the text is over.

I haven't thought about what to write in the extra episode, I don't guarantee it, if not, don't hit me OJZ
