A crisp alarm bell ended the dawn, but the wind outside the window still beat against the glass window and made a crackling sound.

Qin Jian slowly opened his eyes, raised his head and got up, a feeling of refreshment filled his whole body.

This sleep, the sleep time is not long, but the effect is surprisingly good.

Qin Jian turned on the light in the living room, and He Jing was pushing the door out.

Looking at the bird's nest above Qin Jian's head, He Jing sighed, "Go wash your hair." ”

Soon, Qin Gang and his wife also came out of the bedroom one after another.

After washing up and having a simple breakfast, the two sisters and brothers packed their carry-on backpacks and suitcases, and left the house under the advice of Qin Gang and his wife.

Outside the balcony windowsill, under the street lamp of the community, the two figures walked farther and farther.

"Old man, my son's first time going out is far away, and I am not sure. ”

"Okay, I'm going to be eighteen soon, what's not to worry about, isn't there still a quiet lead," Qin Gang put his arm around his wife's shoulder, "Let's go, go back to the house, it's cold here." ”

"Hey, do you remember that Qin Jian used to be a little smaller, and this time he became an adult in a blink of an eye. ”

"No, maybe I'll bring you a daughter-in-law back in a few years. ”

"That's good, then the house will be more lively..."

Stepping on the tail of dawn, some people continue to rest, and some people continue to move forward.

6:30 a.m.

On the Yangcheng railway platform, the K.280 bullet train leading to Yanjing West Station slowly moved forward.

In the No. 12 carriage, which was barely crowded, Qin Jian sat alone in the window seat of 5E.

The hazy light that flashed outside the window from time to time always reminded Qin Jian of the previous scene when he returned to Yanjing alone.

But the taste of the journey is always refreshing.

The train started steadily, and Qin Jian also moved, and the two-and-a-half-hour journey could not be wasted.

Taking out the scores of several competition works from his bag, Qin Jian read them in order

As he read, his hands were on his thighs and on the armrests of the seat, and he jumped slightly.

Read each piece once, memorize it once, loop it twice, and write down any faults you encounter in the interim, in a small notebook that you carry with you.

An hour and a half passed, and Qin Jian completed the silent memorization practice of the three works.

Outside the window, the sky gradually brightened, and the train began to move again after a brief pause in the station.

After a short break, Qin Jian also opened the panel and continued to practice under the guidance of Uncle Che.

......

Everyone who passes by car 12 is attracted to a young man who behaves eccentricly.

I saw him tilt his face and close his eyes, humming a tune in his mouth, his hands beating in the air in front of him, and the most amazing thing was that the rhythm between his ten fingers gave people a feeling of extreme harmony.

And I don't know from which moment, somewhere in the corner of the 12th carriage, a mobile phone began to record this scene.

......

"Please note that this train will soon enter Yanjing West Station, please ....."

Qin Jian's arms were raised and lowered, his hands suddenly stopped, he breathed a sigh of relief, and slowly opened his eyes.

Between the eyebrows and eyes, there is a lot of joy.

The Sonata in F minor just now coincides perfectly with the playing speed of Uncle Che.

There was still some improvement before the game, and it was on such an occasion, which Qin Jian definitely didn't expect.

Turning his head to look out the window at the bustling flow of people in the station, Qin Jian stretched his waist against the backrest and relaxed his somewhat stiff neck.

After a few moments, I packed the sheet music and picked up my bag, got up and walked towards the exit on the right side of the carriage.

"Yanjing, hello. ”

......

Outside Yanjing West Railway Station, the traffic is busy and tourists are weaving.

In this cold world, it is still a busy scene.

The perfect combination of the antique castle wall, pavilions and modern architecture seems to be integrated across time and space at this moment.

Even if he said goodbye, Qin Jian could still feel the heaviness of this blend of ancient and modern.

"How do you feel when you come for the first time?" He Jing came to Qin Jian's side.

"Uh, it's a little cold. Qin Jian said and took the box in He Jing's hand, "Sister, where are you going?"

For this, Qin Jian is undoubtedly much more familiar than He Jing.

While there was a prompt, while turning on the mobile phone map, on a street that is not bustling but relatively wide, the sister and brother did not take much effort to come to the booked 8 Days Chain Hotel.

After successfully checking in, he was not in a hurry to go upstairs, He Jing took Qin Jian and walked around.

Opposite the hotel is a little bit of a little bit of a style looking bar.

Walk straight along the street and turn left after two intersections to see the Yenching Grand Theatre located in a large open space.

Diagonally opposite the Yenching Grand Theatre is the Zhongshan Concert Hall.

According to He Jing's channel news, the home of this Huayun Music Skills Competition is at the Yanjing Grand Theater, and the first two rounds of the piano competition will be held in the Zhongshan Concert Hall, a branch venue.

At this time, the characters scrolling on the light screen in front of the gate of the Zhongshan Concert Hall have also begun to warm up for the competition in a few days.

After going around in a circle, the two returned to the hotel again.

"I've checked almost all the hotels in the vicinity recently, and this is the only one. He Jing said while packing her luggage, "We have to settle for a while." ”

"The specific schedule of the game will be announced tomorrow night, so there is no need to rush, just adjust your mentality in the past two days. He Jing turned around and handed Qin Jian a long black square box, "Try it at night, there should be no problem with the size." ”

Qin Jian took it, and he didn't know the English logo on the box, but the outsourcing was extraordinarily exquisite.

Opening the box, Qin Jian was attracted by the folded dress in front of him at a glance.

The finely made black neckline is spotless, and the white lining is seamlessly bonded, and Qin Jian knows that the price of this dress is definitely expensive

"Sister. ”

Qin Jian buckled the box and looked up at He Jing, his tone was a little dry.

He Jing smiled, "Okay, I have to go, you can eat by yourself at noon, you can walk around if you can't stay in the house, but don't go too far, I will definitely come back before dinner, and call me as soon as I have something." ”

"Okay, stay safe, call me as soon as you have something. ”

With a knock on the door, Qin Jian also began to pack up his things.

After everything was in order, Qin Jian took out a new roll of gauze.

According to the later agreement of the siblings, without affecting their normal performance, they still kept covering the tattoo on their left hand with gauze during the game.

Although there is no competition that explicitly prohibits competitors from carrying tattoos, considering that the contestants in this category are all minors, and I am still a student, it is better to think about a positive image.

Thinking of this, Qin Jian was also angry.

It's just such a small tattoo, and Tm just appears on the back of the hand.

Can't it appear on the feet?

After re-wrapping the gauze on his left hand, Qin Jian stretched out his palm and moved his five fingers.

It seems to feel pretty good, but I'll have to get used to it a little bit more on the piano before I'm relieved

Qin Jian looked at his watch, and saw that it was still early, so it was better to find a place to practice the piano first, first, to adapt to the new bandage on his left hand, and second, to deal with the problems summarized in the car in the morning.

Thinking of this, Qin Jian immediately decided to leave the hotel and turned along the road just now.

I have the impression that there are many piano shops with their doors open on the way back just now.

After several back and forth, Qin Jian finally found a spacious façade next to the Zhongshan Concert Hall.

"Lefu Piano Shop. ”

The most gratifying thing is that the shop window reads, 'We offer a kawai performance grand piano class.' ’

For Qin Jian now, practicing with the piano means having a good experience and good feelings, so that more concrete problems can be fed back.

As soon as you enter the door, the atmospheric decoration really did not disappoint, and there was a wave of "luxury" in your face, from string instruments to wind instruments, from pianos to large percussion, and there are familiar world-class big-name instruments.

After learning that the temporary use fee of the kawai grand piano classroom was 300/hour, Qin Jian totaled it, and directly swiped the card to recharge 10,000 to get a membership card, not to mention the use of the piano room, not to mention, but also to send 10 piano professional lessons, anyway, it will not be only this time during the competition.

And members can also make an appointment in advance for the piano room, which is convenient.

Taking the blue card handed over by the person in charge of the hall, Qin Jian turned around and walked towards the classroom.

Suddenly, a cold wind blew behind him, and the door of the Yuefu Piano Store was pushed open again.

"Excuse me, is there a practice room for the grand piano?"

The cold voice, not big or small, is just enough to make people look back.
