After completing all four rounds of the repertoire, the two went to the cafeteria.

They need to relax their nerves, relieve their ears, and fill their stomachs by the way.

During the meal, they had a conversation.

The main content of the exchange was about the three rounds of repertoire played by Duan Ran.

After listening to these three rounds of tracks in their entirety, Qin Jian felt a lot.

From the perspective of a Chopin fan, he said: 'The selection of repertoire and the design of the sequence in each round are rarer than before, and the technique is superb and the music is explosive. ’

From the perspective of a contestant, putting aside the relationship between the two, to be honest, he has a headache for a player like Duan Ran who does not play cards according to common sense.

Duan Ran asked him, 'Why?'

His answer was: "People who don't play by the rules tend to break the rules." “

Based on Qin Jian's in-depth research on each round of the previous Xiao Sai and his understanding of the contestants this year, he can almost foresee-

When Duan Ran enters the second round, her selection of songs and performance style will definitely attract a lot of attention, and it will inevitably attract a lot of attention, coupled with her own strong comprehensive quality, she should be able to get a ticket to the third round. ’

With only 20 tickets for the third round, she will snatch one from a decent crowd.

Although none of the players who made it to the third round were soft persimmons.

Although the Chopin competition is not a draft, the organizers will more or less consider the gaze from the sidelines when considering the list of finalists in each round, and it is a good means to enhance the enjoyment of the competition with some topical players, and they only need to ensure that the final gold medal candidate is not too controversial.

At this point, it will appear at every Shaw competition.

Although the above is just Qin Jian's personal association as a contestant in previous competitions.

From the perspective of the competition itself, it would not be surprising if Duan Ran only stopped in the first round in the end.

Because this is the Chopin Competition, the Olympics of music.

But more than that, Qin Jian was communicating with Duan Ran with the mentality of a couple and a companion.

In view of Duan Ran's strong personal label, he finally returned to the performance itself.

The perception of the 'small mistake' made him realize some problems.

In the process of sharing with Duan Ran, he said:

"You can try to control your explosiveness and try to mobilize them as much as possible, or on that day, you have to make sure that the person who ends up sitting in front of the piano is you, and don't be affected by the momentary stage mood. ”

"It's always not safe to play on the spot. ”

"I hope you make it to the end this time. “

This is Qin Jian's heartfelt hope, a somewhat emotional word, a sentence that moved Duan Ran and generated some pressure.

Duan Ran asked, "What if I am eliminated in the first round?" ”

Qin Jian smiled: "If this is the case, it can only mean that our good luck has not yet come, and the future is still very long, so what is there to be unhappy about." ”

Gotta say 'we' is a good word.

With Qin Jian's words, Duan Ran put down the soup spoon and lay down regardless of the surrounding 'hmm', and a small face was attached to the back of Qin Jian's hand on the dinner table.

Qin Jian patted Duan Ran's head, "What are you doing, get up, get up and eat." ”

Duan Ran rubbed, as if he didn't intend to pay attention to the other party's meaning at all, he didn't move, and suddenly said in his mouth: "There is still a long time in the future?"

Where's this?

Qin Jian was stunned for a moment, pondering what had happened to Duan Ran in the past two days, and his emotions were bursting for a while.

Yesterday I ate dry vinegar in the piano room, and this morning I got up and grinded, and I couldn't stay up and sleep at ten o'clock last night, and I asked myself this kind of question at this time. 90 look

Could it be?

"Isn't it time for you to come to Auntie?"

Qin Jian said and patted the other party's head again, "Sit down, sit down." ”

Duan Ran sat up reluctantly, muttering, "It should be, this month has been postponed for ten days." ”

Qin Jian nodded with a hmm, and secretly said in his heart.

Seeing Qin Jian's appearance, Duan Ran smiled in his heart, and said fiercely: "Don't mess with me these days, it's super fierce!"

"Okay," Qin Jian picked up the spoon and stuffed it back into the other party's hand with a look of 'understanding and understanding', "Eat quickly, let's go back and continue when we are full, today's task has not yet reached the standard." ”

"Okay—"

The two of them continued to eat, and the conversation returned to the game.

Duan Ran listened to Qin Jian analyze the format of the competition, and deserted all the way———— "I hope you can go to the end of this competition."

She still had these words echoing in her mind, and she heard them in her heart.

It did put some pressure on her, and going to the end meant getting a higher ranking.

All the way to this day, Duan Ran is sure that he loves the piano.

But she never explicitly wanted to relate that attachment to anything else.

Or the motives that have always driven her to practice, study, hold concerts, prepare for competitions, etc., do not stem from her desire for fame, prestige, and education.

Before meeting Qin Jian, she simply liked the piano, and although her dependence shifted after meeting Qin Jian, the piano was still an indispensable part of her life.

The only thing that has changed is probably that she has a little more motivation to work hard.

For example, if Qin Jian didn't participate in the Chopin Competition, she was really not sure if she would end up joining in the fun.

There is also the matter of graduating early, without Qin Jian, she may try to open herself up in college, make some friends, and fall in love, and then feel the college life.

But there is no but.

Although the two of them joked before that they would never show mercy when they met in the finals.

Now Qin Jian expressed her hope that she could get a better ranking in this competition, and Duan Ran would just face up to the 'ranking'.

So she plans to use this last period of time to work hard, and it just so happens that there is a problem today.

Her idea now is very simple, she can look at the 'ranking'!

Maybe this is a kind of irrationality in love, but this irrationality should be promoted.

"Actually, you don't have any problems, just pay a little more attention to the adjustment of the playing state. ”

Qin Jian said as he got up and picked up the leftovers of the two of them, and said, "Just try to avoid the low-level mistakes like in the morning." ”

Duan Ran nodded 'uh-huh', got up and helped Qin Jian clean up together, "Got it!"

As if sensing the change in Duan Ran's mood again, Qin Jian looked up, and sure enough, Duan Ran looked full of vitality again.

Qin Jian: "What's wrong with you again?"

Duan Ran: "What's wrong with me?"

Qin Jian: "Why are you suddenly so happy?"

Duan Ran: "Don't mess with me, super fierce!"

Qin Jian: "What's wrong with me?"

Duan Ran: "You're cute." “
