Overtone

Qi Ye was still dazed, he stood by the door, and didn't come back to his senses until Xiao Jing came out of the kitchen with lemonade.

After searching in his limited memory for a while, and putting together the bits and pieces of Professor Xiao's chat with him, Qi Ye had a general impression.

I heard that Xiao Cheng's sister lived abroad when she was a child. After graduation, she taught at a famous music academy in Europe. She is also the most famous solo violinist in the local Philharmonic Orchestra. She only recently planned to return to China to develop her career.

In short, according to his understanding, to sum it up in one sentence, he is a musician with great musical attainments.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Xiao." Qi Ye entered the door, he calmed down, and introduced himself, "My name is Qi Ye, I graduated from the Guitar Performance Department of A City Conservatory of Music, and I have experience in live performances such as auditions..."

Xiao Jing just smiled quietly, not to mention, this demeanor, and the temperament exuded from the inside out, are worthy of being from a musical family, and they are almost carved out of the same mold as Xiao Cheng.

"Well, I understand." Her voice was gentle.

Qi Ye nodded when he heard it, and smiled. He took out the prepared sheet music from his bag, and asked, "What should I call you?"

Xiao Jing smiled: "It's all fine."

Qi Ye thought for a while, and then said, "Then I should call you teacher."

In fact, it is also possible to call him a professor, but in his mind, the word professor has already been pre-registered, and there is no way to give it to a second person.

I'm sorry, sister, Qi Yexin said.

After a few polite words with Xiao Jing, they entered the study room, and when Qi Ye was picking up the guitar after the class was over, they suddenly saw a framed photo on the table.

That was a very handsome young man.

Holding the trophy in his hand, he took a photo with the organizing committee. Although his eyebrows and eyes had not yet opened, Qi Ye immediately recognized Xiao Cheng when he saw the extremely heroic demeanor.

"My brother." Xiao Jing's voice came from behind.

Qi Ye gave a "hmm" and said with a smile, "Mr. Xiao, your younger brother also looks very good."

Xiao Jing just smiled, her eyes fell on the photo: "It is indeed excellent, in terms of musical talent and hard work, no one can compare to him."

"You are also excellent." Qi Ye said.

"Thank you." Xiao Jing was still very polite, and when she looked at the photo, there was a look of distress in her eyes.But in the next second, she looked away from the photo, smiled and said to Qi Ye: "Actually, sometimes excellence is a burden, and my brother is like that."

Qi Ye was slightly taken aback, he didn't quite understand the meaning at the time, until he left the community, he was still thinking about this sentence.

In fact, to be honest, whether it was the usual relationship or the vacation together, he could see that Xiao Cheng lived a hard life, and he could vaguely understand what kind of growth environment a child who has been under the spotlight since childhood will experience.

From this point of view, Qi Ye felt that he was relatively lucky.

From a mediocre talent since childhood, a free-range education from her parents, and a barely enough score in the art test.

All these are destined to be an ordinary person, who has to go through the process of graduating from work, saving money to buy a house, and finally getting married and having children. This is also the life trajectory that most people experience.

But he is so ordinary, compared with Xiao Cheng, he is like dust and stars, he is not a person along the way at all.

Thinking about it this way, Qi Ye couldn't figure out who gave him the courage to secretly fall in love with that star that he couldn't reach in his entire life.

With this vague thought in mind, Qi Ye got on the bus.He watched the scenery outside the car window change rapidly, and he was still thinking wildly. When he came back to his senses, he found that the bus had passed the stop.

And it seems... there are a little too many stops.

Qi Ye looked at the shuttle bus that runs every half an hour, and sighed secretly.After thinking for a few seconds, he turned on his phone and sent a text message to Xiao Cheng.

-Qi Ye: Professor Xiao, don't send me off today, I'll go there by myself.

After finishing the routine, send a smiling emoticon package, and I feel more comfortable.

As soon as I posted the smiling cat, I heard the phone vibrate, and Xiao Cheng came to reply.

-Xiao Cheng: What's wrong?

-Qi Ye: It's okay, I just have something to do today, I just went out.

-Xiao Cheng: Send me the location and come pick you up.

Seeing this sentence, Qi Ye scratched his head, suddenly a little embarrassed.

For some reason, he didn't want to tell Xiao Cheng about the guitar lesson, but seeing the situation, he probably couldn't use text messages to communicate anymore.

After struggling for a few seconds, I still made a voice call.

"Professor Xiao." Qi Ye said on the phone, "I really don't need to come today, I'm too far away."

"It's okay, I have a place to go today, maybe I will drop by."

Before Qi Ye could speak again, Xiao Cheng's voice cut off.

"Xiao Cheng?"

No response.

It was only a few seconds later, but Qi Ye felt that after a century, he still maintained the posture of answering the phone until Xiao Cheng made another voice call.

"I'm sorry." Xiao Cheng said, "My sister called suddenly, so she was forced to hang up, and I'm fine now."

"Then sister, is everything okay?" Qi Ye asked.

Xiao Cheng seemed to be stunned on the other end of the phone, and after a while, he replied: "It's okay."

"That's fine." Qi Ye didn't pay much attention to the address just now, and returned to the topic of sending him to work.Just about to continue talking, Xiao Cheng smiled lightly on the other end of the phone.

"what happened?"

"fine."

"But your tone sounds like something very happy."

"How about it." Xiao Cheng's voice on the phone was still pleasant, "Then I won't drive today, it's hard to park where I'm going."

Qi Ye was stunned: "Huh?"

"Play a game, let's go together." Xiao Cheng said, "I'm going out now, how about you?"

Qi Ye was stunned for a few more seconds. He did look a little confused, but he quickly realized that he couldn't help laughing.

The two of them are so grown up that they even played games.

I remember when I was a child, I liked to play real-time messaging games with my friends, and invented a lot of advanced games, such as catching spies, making underground contacts and so on.

At that time, the paper cups with wires were still connected to the wires, and the scope was only a yard. Now, the whole city is a place for them to connect with each other.

"I'm getting on the bus now." Qi Ye accepted Xiao Cheng's proposal, "I'm sitting in the second row."

"Subway, Heqiao West Station."

"I need an hour." Qi Ye looked at the route map hanging on the side of the car window, "If you get there first, hang up."

"It's okay." Xiao Cheng said, "Me too."

Even so, I don't know if it's true or not.

To be honest, Xiao Cheng always takes care of people's emotions in this aspect.

He seems to have noticed the thoughts of everyone he comes into contact with, and he takes care of others carefully in every aspect, even in some very small details.

In the past, Qi Ye wouldn't have known much about such a person, so he directly and roughly said, "Central air-conditioning."

But now Qi Ye felt that he was very good, really good, good enough to illuminate the society where he had experienced severe beatings.

Just like the most dazzling star in the distant sky, it not only illuminates him who is now moving forward, but also makes his dust reflect the light it should have.

"I got off the station." Qi Ye said, "Now I'm on the subway."

"it is good."

"Where are you?"

"On the subway, the next stop is here."

Qi Ye didn't know where Xiao Cheng was going, but when he arrived at the station and was about to walk to the Kangaroo Bar, there was a sudden silence on the phone for a few seconds.

Qi Ye was slightly taken aback, then asked, "Professor Xiao?"

No response.

And just as he was interrupted just like before, Qi Ye still kept holding the phone, hurried through the crowd, and turned into the alley covered with wooden vines.

"Professor Xiao?" Qi Ye called again after entering the quiet long alley.

The voice is continuous and very quiet, but without Xiao Cheng's reply, it is nothing.

When there were still 50 meters away from the Kangaroo Bar, Xiao Cheng's voice suddenly sounded: "I'm almost there."

"Me too." Hearing his voice, Qi Ye breathed a sigh of relief.

But for some reason, his heart was still beating wildly, and it didn't seem to be calmed down by Xiao Cheng's voice.On the contrary, there is also some indescribable feeling, or rather, a premonition.

With such a mood in mind, he walked the last few tens of meters on foot, turned a corner near the street corner, and the Kangaroo Bar slowly appeared in his vision.

At this time, a dazzling array of small light bulbs were hung on the Christmas tree in the bar, like a sign of the end of a long road. For some reason, Qi Ye never thought it would be so beautiful at this moment.

He stood about ten meters away from the Christmas tree.

And on the other side of his gaze, a figure suddenly appeared, separated by the same distance.

The phone still held each other's breath, and their eyes crossed the Christmas tree, and at this moment they met completely.

It's also really strange that they are at the two ends of the city, and they have gone through unrelated journeys, but in the end, they reached the same destination.

Qi Ye suddenly felt that he had the most brilliant and eye-catching star.
