Chapter 204: Returning Home
Cheng Ran smiled at the surrounding audience, and waited for a while without too many words before standing up.
It's not that he doesn't want to enjoy the applause, but because the physical strength of playing the piano has been almost consumed, and now he can stand up very reluctantly, but after all, in front of so many people, Cheng Ran naturally can't lie on the piano without an image.
Finally squeezing away the enthusiastic crowd, Cheng Ran collapsed and sat on the steps on the side of the road.
Tired is really tired, he felt that his legs couldn't help but start to tremble, and Cheng Ran was able to persevere after walking for so long thanks to Cheng Ran's willpower.
If it weren't for the fear that the ruthless man behind him who dared to shoot at him suddenly changed his mind and let people chase him, and whether Li Mengmeng and Li Qiuxue would have been worried about disappearing for so long, Cheng Ran would have collapsed on the side of the road.
The game over there was still going on, and Cheng Ran could only hold his head with his hands and look in the direction over there, while his mind was thinking about whether his clothes could last on this kind of night.
Now Cheng Ran has no strength to play the second song, his calf muscles have begun to tremble uncontrollably, and his arms are even heavier.
Now he just wants to sleep in a warm bed, if only he could take a sip of hot soup before going to bed.
Under the street lamp, Cheng Ran looked at the lively crowd in front of him with a somewhat gloomy face, thinking a little lonely in his heart.
Whether it is in the Li family or the small warehouse in Hengcheng, Cheng Ran is always alone, whether it is Zhang Qiang or Li Qiuxue, they all have families, and they will call them after dinner to ask them about their recent situation when they are filming.
Although Zhang Qiang hung up the phone with a perfunctory sentence every time, Cheng Ran was really, really, and envious that Zhang Qiang could receive a call from his family.
And what about yourself?
Sitting on the side of the road in an unfamiliar city, Cheng Ran looked up at the moon in the sky.
No matter what world it is, it seems that there is only one moon in the sky!
......
"Sister, let's go down quickly!"
In a nanny car not far from Cheng Ran, Li Mengmeng looked at Cheng Ran sitting on the ground in surprise and said excitedly.
"Waiting. ”
Li Qiuxue held Li Mengmeng's wrist and asked her to sit obediently in the car, both pairs of eyes staring at the somewhat lonely figure sitting on the side of the road at this time.
Although Li Mengmeng didn't understand why the old lady still watched Cheng Ran suffer on the side of the road, Li Qiuxue pulled herself, and Li Mengmeng could only pout and sit in her position helplessly.
Fortunately, the Gong Huilanto people sent a box of soup to the two sisters before, saying that they were afraid that Cheng Ran's health was not good, so they should not starve their bodies after playing with the two sisters for a long time.
Li Mengmeng didn't think much about it, just looked at Cheng Ran sitting on the side of the road, and her expression was much more relaxed.
mobilized all the resources that the Li family could call on in the entire city, and finally found Cheng Ran half an hour ago.
As for what kind of piano competition Cheng Ran is participating in now, Li Qiuxue is also clear, including the students who initiated, their identity background and all the information are quietly placed in front of Li Qiuxue.
But I finally found it.
Li Qiuxue sighed with relief, the corners of her eyes were slightly moist, and finally she couldn't help hugging her sister and choking in a low voice.
"Now let's have the most interesting contestants tonight!"
Now the audience burst into cheers.
After the process of playing, several students from the conservatory who had thought they were playing well before found that it was just that.
After surviving the most boring link, everyone finally waited for Cheng Ran to play.
The temporary referee was also very excited, and after finding that everyone seemed to like Cheng more, he simply ranked Cheng Ran directly to the last of the five people who were promoted.
Cheng Ran reacted to the cheers of everyone, and hurriedly stood up and walked over.
After a break of more than ten minutes, Cheng Ran finally breathed a sigh of relief, although his calves were still a little trembling, but his arms could at least be raised.
Compared with the indifference of the first audience, Cheng Ran's appearance this time was much more lively, and basically everyone was cheering for this fresh face.
Cheng Ran greeted with a very low-key smile and sat silently in front of the piano.
The audience, who was still noisy at the scene, did not need to be reminded by the host, and they all consciously quieted down.
They all wanted to know if the Chinese person in front of them would surprise them, and after which song "To Alice" by Cheng Ran had before, there were many passers-by around them, at least one-third more than when Cheng Ran participated before.
There are even many young people who picked up their photography equipment and looked at Cheng Ran one after another, wanting to record the highlights of Cheng Ran's next moment.
With a flick of the finger, a crisp note sounded.
Cheng Ran didn't play in a hurry, his arms were still a little weak now, and even the sensitivity of his fingers had dropped very much.
Exhaustion permeated every cell of Cheng Ran, but for the reward of the third place of more than two hundred, Cheng Ran decided to fight!
The arm keeps calling, and the sensitivity of the fingers still doesn't work?
It doesn't matter, Cheng Ran remembered a piano piece that he had heard on a software.
I remember that it should be called "The Flowers in the South of the City Have Bloomed".
It's not a very famous piano music, but Cheng Ran likes both the melody and the story in it.
The sound of soft music sounded slowly, and hundreds of people gathered around a piano under the night sky.
The man playing the piano seemed to be a little sad.
The same as the sound of his piano.
Both men, women and children all listened quietly to Cheng Ran's piano, as if they were listening attentively to Cheng Ran playing a story.
A story that doesn't make you happy.
A terminally ill person bursts out with a terrifying desire to survive with the care and encouragement of everyone.
Isn't he Cheng Ran?
Behind him stood billions of people in his previous life.
Maybe he was watching him silently where Cheng Ran couldn't see it.
At the end of the song, there was a slow end note, but it was this end note that Cheng Ran played the most seriously.
The crowd of onlookers was silent for a few seconds, not knowing who took the lead, and the whole audience was shouting Cheng Ran's pseudonym.
On the commercial bus not far away, Li Qiuxue rubbed her red eyes and grinned when she saw this scene.
And Li Mengmeng, who had been held by her, breathed a sigh of relief gently.
Since I was a child, I have never seen my sister so sad and crying so helplessly.
Li Mengmeng stared at her beautiful big eyes, hoping to see the figure of that person from the crowd, but she didn't see Cheng Ran's figure until her eyes were sore and painful, but the shouts of the group of people became louder and louder.
Cheng Ran stood quietly on the piano and smiled politely at the crowd around him.
It wasn't until the shouting that lasted for nearly five minutes that the crowd quieted down, and the host finally came to the stage and began to stabilize the crowd around them, so that everyone could be quiet.
"Next I announce that the winner of this competition is..."
Cheng Ran stood not far away, excitedly waiting for the referee to announce the noun.
No matter how many places he is, as long as he enters the top three, he will have the money to take a taxi to the Li family manor, and then immediately! buy a plane ticket to return to China!
So even though Cheng Ran is tired at the moment, he is still very excited to look forward to his ranking.
Suddenly, a pair of soft palms pinched Cheng Ran's palm, and the familiar voice sounded in his ears.
"Enough fun, right? Let's go home. ”
