Married to the Demon King

At the end of the second round, the organizers rented a conference room at the hotel to announce the results.

There were 40 people left, sitting around the long round table, with all skin colors and hair colors, from all over the world.

The four Huaguo players sat together, and the lone ranger Liang Feifan, who had never greeted them, finally showed up.

Before the announcement of the list began, a glass of water was placed in front of everyone, and Liang Feifei silently took out a small bag of tea from his pocket, and put a pinch into a disposable paper cup.

It's...elegant.

Because he was sitting next to him, Yu Jiu felt that it was not good to leave him alone, so he talked to him: "Have you had a good rest these days?"

Liang Feifan was silent.

Yu Jiu: "...Well, what kind of tea is this?"

not talking.

Yu Jiu could only turn to the other side, and made an embarrassed expression to Lu Yang.

Lu Yang smiled and took out two pieces of chocolate for him, Yu Jiu accepted them gratefully, and handed one of them to Liang Feifan.

The aloof Liang Feifan finally reached out to take it, lowered his eyes, and whispered, "...Thank you."

Yu Jiu turned around and gave a thumbs up: Brother Lu still has a way.

Time passed by, and the whispering voice gradually died down. Three representatives of the jury came in, and the leader was the French pianist Clark.

The list in his hand determines the fate of the players present.

Half of them will leave the arena.

Zhao Meng was not in high spirits today, and she didn't talk much. She took the male god's chocolate and smiled reluctantly.

After the master came in, he stared at it without blinking.

The master didn't say much, first he praised everyone for being excellent young pianists, and then began to read out the list.

Fatiano entered, Kim Sung-yeon entered, and then Lu Yang.

Lu Yang was obviously taken aback for a moment, then his smile flashed, and he quickly restrained himself.

Liang Feifan was one in front of Lu Yang, announcing Lu Yang's victory was tantamount to announcing his defeat. He picked up his teacup and took a sip in disguise.

Hearing Su Xiyan's name means that the word Y is approaching.

Yan and Yu have been lined up in front and back, Yu Jiu closed his eyes, waiting for the master's trial.

"yujiu."

The hands tightened instantly.Only then did Yu Jiu let out a breath slowly.Joy completely squeezed away the tension, making his hands and feet numb slightly.

The master did not announce the next name for a long time, and finally there was noise in the meeting room.

Without Zhao Meng, without Z.

The list is finished.

The master said a few more words of encouragement, reminding everyone to pay attention to their health and not to get hurt, the gate opened and the crowd came out in single file.

Zhao Meng covered his face and began to cry, while Liang Feifan lowered his head and did not stand up immediately.

Lu Yang and Yu Jiu looked at each other and thought it was better to go out first.

As soon as he got up, someone stopped him: "Your hand."

Liang Feifan looked at Lu Yang: "What's wrong with your hand?"

Lu Yang's left hand is wrapped with a bandage, which can be seen by everyone, but there is no trace of his performance on stage.If Yu Jiu hadn't noticed it before, it would be hard to tell that the hand injury affected his performance.

He has been hiding the fact that he was hurt until today.

Yu Jiu knew that the polonaise had finally brought him a burden. Although Lu Yang hadn't said anything, the outcome of the next round was hard to say.

Liang Feifan seemed very unacceptable: "Are you injured?...You can still enter the third round if you are injured?"

Yu Jiu frowned slightly, Lu Yang didn't say anything, Liang Feifan realized that he had said something wrong, and lowered his head to cover up: "...have a good rest."

After speaking, he rushed out of the meeting room ahead of the two of them.

Zhao Meng also finished crying at this time, rubbed her eyes and stood up: "Let's go. Brother Lu congratulates you, and so does Yu Jiu."

She tried to make a smile: "It's beyond my expectation to come here, I thought I was going to be eliminated in the qualifiers..."

"My mother also came to watch the game yesterday." She walked in the front: "She chattered with me about winning the official round, and I think that's the case. It's really good for me. "

She kept saying comforting words to herself, but Yu Jiu knew that no one was willing to lose.

After coming out, Zhao Meng's mother picked her up, Yu Jiusuo went around and saw Lin Cong'an in the crowd.

He waved and asked Lu Yang, "Is your family not here?"

Lu Yang: "My brother is here today, but he won't arrive until evening. You guys go first."

"Could it be that I was going to take you home?" Yu Jiu joked.

"That's right." Lu Yang's joy was restrained, and he bent his eyes: "I didn't expect to be able to survive for a while."

As the competition moved forward, many contestants' families came, and many of them chose not to stay in the hotel provided by the organizer.

When Yu Jiu and Lin Cong'an went out, they saw the chaos outside, some people were crying, some people were laughing, most of them were the whole family hugging each other.

After finally squeezing out, Yu Jiu felt lingering fear: "There are so many people."

Lin Cong'an was abnormally absent-minded.

The official website has announced the results of the competition. Mr. Lin should already know that he has entered the third round. Why does he look unhappy?

Yu Jiu was puzzled: "Cong'an?"

Lin Cong settled down: "There is something I've been keeping from you." He hesitated for a long time, while regretting that he had missed the good time, and at the same time worried that speaking now would affect Yu Jiu: "I have met your father."

Yu Jiu opened his eyes wide.

"If you want him to come, I can have him come now."

Almost all the parents of the contestants came.

Except for a few single parents, there are more families left than one family.

Parents are the basic configuration, and like Fatiano, there are a dozen or so.

After all, at this point, they are destined to be the pride of the whole family.

But Yu Jiu didn't have such a role, every time Lin Cong'an was alone outside, he was afraid that Yu Jiu would envy himself when he saw other people having fun.

If Yu Jiu's father had never shown up, he wouldn't be thinking wildly, but since he is alive, Lin Cong'an can't help questioning his own decisions.

Is it right to conceal his existence? Would Yu Jiu want to see him?

"..." Yu Jiu didn't know what to say, his mind was in a mess, but he quickly realized: "Don't stand here... is he really alive?"

"Yes." With the night wind blowing, Lin Cong'an said as he walked, "It's thanks to you that I can go back to China."

He roughly explained the reason for it.

Yu Jiu was thoughtful: "So, he came to you? Why did he come to you?"

"..." Lin Cong made a card.

Yu Jiu frowned: "Are you asking for money? Don't give it...or give it less, just don't let him starve to death."

On the streets of Warsaw, Yu Jiu put on a thick coat worn by Lin Cong'an, and put a little powder on his face because he was on stage.The night wind gently blows the fallen leaves on the ground.

He said softly: "I won't recognize him anymore, only you, you are my family."

Lin Cong'an was silent for a moment, nodded, and walked forward slowly side by side with Yu Jiu.

……

In the third round, 20 people from all over the world will be shortlisted.

Except for sighs and sympathy for Fatiano, the rest of the Internet is full of voices supporting Yu Jiu and Lu Yang.

And on foreign social networking sites, two handsome young Chinese pianists with different styles have also come into people's attention.

On the contrary, someone knew Lu Yang abroad, and at this moment, when he mentioned it again, there were fans shouting "The king is back".And Yu Jiu, thanks to the promotional video of the killer movie, quickly gained a wave of fans.

Although the movie was cut into a mess in China and could not be understood at all, it was actually screened abroad, and the box office returned its original value, with a good reputation.

Yu Jiu in the promotional video also got some people's attention, but because he didn't know who it was, he quickly fell silent.

This time Xiao Sai, Yu Jiu turned out to be born, which reminded many people - it turned out to be him!That piano boy in the movie promo!

Asians are small, Yu Jiu is basically a "boy" in the eyes of this group of international friends, and his mother fan has risen rapidly, calling him cute.

But Yu Jiu's piano style is more than cute.

In the past two years, he interpreted lightness and romance to the extreme, and later became better at songs with a strong sense of jumping, and heavy and heavy styles.In this point, there is a three-point overlap with Su Xiyan, but he is more peaceful and versatile than Su Xiyan.

What kind of oriental treasure is this?

People on Weibo laughed even more, and many Internet users who overcame the wall translated foreign rainbow farts for everyone to see at fixed times every day.

…………

In a blink of an eye, halfway through the third round, it will be Lu Yang's turn to compete on stage tomorrow.

In the evening, the hair dryer in the room was broken, and Yu Jiu went downstairs to the front desk to change it, but saw two people wearing masks passing him by with a big medicine box.

The box was a bit conspicuous, and the third floor they went to was exactly where Lu Yang's room was.

Yu Jiu went downstairs, returned to the room with a new hair dryer, and told Lin Cong'an about it.

"Could it be that his hand injury is serious again? Then how can tomorrow compare..."

Lin Cong'an had no way to comfort him, but said: "I can only do my best."

This is bound to be an injury-related day.

Fatiano also raced on this day and was the first.

He had stitches on the palm of his hand, and it is still wrapped in gauze. After he took the stage, the reporters all stared at his hand and filmed wildly. Even the live broadcast camera cut a close-up of him.

Xiaopang has a bad complexion, lacks energy, and looks like he is still suffering.

Such a big hole will definitely not heal within a few days. It's fine if you don't move, but it hurts when you move.

Don't even think about painkillers and needles. After all, this is the ultimate test of hand manipulation. If you really want to do this, you might as well retire.

Xiaopang, who was crying, was very strong on the stage, but he played for five or ten minutes, and then, Xiaopang played obviously messed up.

Yu Jiu thought to himself, as long as the judges still have basic justice, such a performance will definitely be eliminated.

At the end of the performance, Fatiano stood up, his eyes were red.

He spoke in English.

"Thank you judges, thank you audience. I failed to seize the opportunity, and there will be no next time. I...I am sorry."

Some people cried in the audience, and more people applauded for him. Fatiano, like a soldier, stepped off the stage tragically but impressively.

Yu Jiu took the time to scroll through Weibo, and sure enough, the netizens who watched the live broadcast had intercepted his speech, and many passers-by who saw the video were also moved.

Injuries are brutal.

"Can't you give him a chance? He played very well, a piano prodigy!"

"The next age will be over...The frequency of this competition is too low...Many people only have one chance..."

"Accommodating, it's not a machine scoring."

Such voices naturally lead to backlash, especially those who usually pay attention to the sports circle, who are so annoyed by this logic that they can't wait to poke their eyes.

"It's not a machine scoring, it's a lot of experience :)"

……

Yu Jiu locked the phone, feeling even worse.

Fatiano only got a scratch on his hand, so he finished the game anyway, but what about Lu Yang?

A full five and 10 minutes of high-intensity performance, did he really complete it?

Lu Yang stepped onto the stage.

See that his hands are not wrapped in bandages.Yu Jiu relaxed a little and waited for him to start.

The bright light hit the stage, and the time passed by. Lu Yang sat in front of the piano, raised his hand, and hesitated to press it down.

The auditorium gradually became noisy.

After half a minute, Lu Yang finally pressed the keys.

Yu Jiu's heart sank.

His left hand was mispronounced from the start.

Sure enough, the sound in the auditorium not only did not subside with the performance, but became louder. Many people asked their companions watching the game: What's wrong?What's up with him?

After the first song is played, the second song is played immediately, and 7 minutes have passed.

On the stage, Lu Yang was playing, a drop of sweat fell on the keys.It was quickly wiped off by fingers.

Emotions can't get in, this is a failed performance.But even if it was a failed performance, he still wanted to complete it.

Enduring the sharp pains in his entire palm and wrist, Lu Yang kept praying in his heart, praying that the disobedient finger would listen to the command once, and it would be good just once...

Snapped.

The sound of the piano was cut off.

Lu Yang could no longer hear any sound, only black and white piano keys remained in his sight.

It was an instrument he once loved.

Every pianist has fantasized about being able to control this instrument.But "control" is such a difficult word. Throughout the ages, how many people dare to say that they have done it?

When he was a child, Lu Yang thought even more wildly, he wanted to "conquer".

In order to "conquer", he embarked on this road that ordinary people cannot bear loneliness.

Yet it is destined to end today.

After a while, Lu Yang finally managed to breathe steadily. He stood up with a smile on his face.

"I'm sorry." He bowed to the audience.

Sorry, couldn't finish playing.

Sorry, couldn't go on.

……

"I'm sorry." Lu Yang said with regret on his face, "We agreed to see the final."

In just ten days, Yu Jiudi came to the airport countless times to see him off again and again.

"It's okay." He handed over the small gift he brought when he went to Paris.Before Liang Feifan and Zhao Meng left, he also gave it away. This is the last one: "There is a chance to play together again."

Outside the security check, people come and go, and there is never a lack of travel and separation in the airport.

When Zhao Meng and Liang Feifan left, Yu Jiu was not sad, but Lu Yang disappointed him a bit.Because after stepping down, he told Yu Jiu that he would watch the final until the end.

As a result, Lu Yang’s company had a problem, his father and brother asked him to help, and Yu Jiu hadn’t competed in the third round yet, so he was about to go back.

"It's really nice to meet you. You must have traveled farther than me." Lu Yang said, "I'll watch your game on the live broadcast when I go back. Oh yes, I also downloaded Weibo."

He laughed and shook the phone in his hand: "The world is small, we will see you again."

The roar of the plane shook the ground, Yu Jiu nodded and waved goodbye to him.

Lu Yang's brother pulled the suitcase and said something to him, and the two disappeared at the security check entrance together.Yu Jiu stood there feeling lost for a while.

A group of girls passed by, the leader suddenly saw him and shouted, "yujiu?"

Yu Jiu came back to his senses, observed for a few seconds before recognizing it: "Su Xiyan?"

Su Xiyan hooked her fingers, and the little sisters around her rushed away. She took a few steps closer and asked in English, "Are you here to pick someone up?"

Yu Jiu was here to send someone off, but he didn't deny anything, just smiled: "Yes."

Su Xiyan's facial features are sharp, and she is not easy to mess with.She wore a fancy dress, red hair highlights, and sunglasses on top of her head.

"Hmm..." She suddenly moved closer: "I read gossip, saying that both your parents died, is it true?"

Yu Jiu unconsciously leaned back, and replied coldly: "Yes."

"Wow..." Su Xiyan exaggerated: "Then you are so unlucky, who is that handsome guy who has been with you all the time? Do you have any other relatives?"

"It's my husband." Yu Jiu used husband, indicating that their relationship is recognized by law.Su Xiyan seemed a little confused, and felt that Yu Jiu's answer meant that she wanted to continue the conversation, so she asked, "Are you married? But your husband is very handsome! Do you mean Chinese people eat dogs?"

Yu Jiu: "..."

Her last sentence was louder, and the little sisters who were chatting at the side heard it, and immediately laughed and participated in the conversation.

"This one also plays the piano?" "My brother is so tender!" "Is my brother also here to pick up people? From Huaguo? Are there any young people to play with, at night..."

"Shut up!" Su Xiyan yelled: "It scared my brother, look, I'm not happy."

Yu Jiu took out his mobile phone and called Lin Cong'an.Originally, it was better to wait for him in the coffee shop outside the airport, but now he just wants to use Mr. Lin to summon Dafa, otherwise Yu Jiu feels that these girls really want to follow him to the hotel...

The call was connected immediately, and Yu Jiu pretended to take it down and glanced at the screen: "Hello, Cong'an?" "Yeah, I'll be there in a while."

The girls behind them didn't know what to say, and they laughed together again, and Lin Cong'an's reassuring voice came from Yu Jiu's ear: "Did you meet someone?"

"Well, it's okay, I'll just get rid of it... Are you still where you are?"

"...you look in the direction of arrive."

Sunlight poured in from the towering glass wall, Yu Jiu held up the phone, squinted his eyes, and looked for the sign.

Su Xiyan's voice gradually faded behind him, and Yu Jiu opened his eyes wide.A group of people came towards him with suitcases.

"Yu Jiu——" Lou Xiaochuan was tanned again, making his white teeth even whiter, and his shaved head looked more like a bad guy. He rushed over at a high speed, followed by many people.

Yang Shu, classmate Xiaoxiong, Cheng Ziyuan; Professor Qiu also came, and Xiaobao was hugged by his mother; Liu Keqiao and Zheng Xin saw Lou Xiaochuan running wildly, and ran after him, shouting "what are you running-"; There are colleagues in the cafe, Teacher Jin Yan, and Grandma Liu next door...

"Yu Jiu!"

They were chanting his name.

Yu Jiu found that he had many more friends than in the Qingyin Competition two years ago.

He put aside the exclamation behind him and all kinds of strange questions from Su Xiyan and his party, and his eyes shone brightly.

Lu Yang left, and his friend came.
