Xiao Shuxia originally wanted to stay with Yang Jingxing for the exam, but her son and husband were opposed, so she went home with Yang Chengyi on the morning of the 12th.

I haven't seen each other during the winter vacation, and the classmates miss it a little, they are all chatting in the classroom, and the girls can take advantage of this time to show off their bodies, and the boys are playing around.

During the evening self-study, as usual, I had to change to the same table and change the seat. Tao Meng and Yang Jingxing didn't move, and they didn't ask each other's opinions. The head teacher still wanted to lecture, and then under the silent gaze of the whole class, he posted the two big words "struggle" on the back of the classroom with difficulty, as well as the countdown sign for the college entrance examination.

After doing this, Mr. Jiang still has something to say: "Everyone knows that Yang Jingxing will go to the Conservatory of Music for a professional exam in two days. Last semester, his efforts were obvious to all. Hard work will definitely pay off, his professional course is from scratch, has achieved very good results, cultural courses not only did not lag behind, but also made great progress. Students, I suggest that everyone go and listen to Yang Jingxing play a piano piece tonight, share his gains, and cheer him on, okay?"

Of course, the classmates said yes, so the group went to the piano room. In fact, the head teacher wanted to warm up Yang Jingxing through this method, so as not to make him nervous during the exam, although Hu Yiqing suspected that Yang Jingxing didn't understand what nervousness was.

The students stood around the piano, and Yang Jingxing sat down and said, "Thank you, thank you, I will play the third movement of Beethoven's "Pathétique Sonata", I think this piece is full of strength and confidence, just like the students in our class. "Look, I sat with the class president for a semester and was assimilated.

C minor, four or four beats, Allegro. There are more than 200 bars in the whole song, and Yang Jingxing plays it very seriously and very well. At the end of the five minutes, Mr. Jiang took the lead in applauding, and the students enthusiastically followed.

Seeing that the response was not bad, Mr. Jiang said that it would continue tomorrow night, and the night after tomorrow would be the same, until Yang Jingxing went to the exam on the 16th.

Then the classmates and teachers went back to the classroom, leaving Yang Jingxing alone to play the tune prepared for the exam, just in case to look at the exam materials.

Hu Yiqing also came and told Yang Jingxing to have a good rest in the past two days. Hu Yiqing also told Yang Jingxing that he was the material for his teaching paper last semester.

On Monday, many students went to the classroom at 6 o'clock to study on their own, which was really hard. After observing one day, Yang Jingxing still took cultural classes seriously, which is really puzzling.

Before class in the afternoon, Tao Meng asked Yang Jingxing: "Are your parents still in Puhai?"

"Home. ”

"I won't accompany you to the exam?" Tao Meng was a little surprised.

Yang Jingxing was dissatisfied: "Do you think I'm still like a child?"

"You played really well yesterday. Tao Meng only praised now, "It's seven o'clock tonight, I'll inform them." ”

Yang Jingxing was cheap: "Actually, I think you only inform yourself." ”

Tao Meng is too lazy to see in general.

After school, Tao Meng walked quickly to the podium: "Wait a minute, after dinner, we will gather in the piano room at seven o'clock, that's all, Xie Luxie." ”

Shao Lei shouted: "Can you not go, play ball." ”

Tao Meng stopped and frowned: "No, this is a group activity." ”

said that it was seven o'clock, and Ren Chuyu arrived at half past six, not a little later than Yang Jingxing, and a few girls also came earlier. Tao Meng was more punctual and said, "I'll name it." ”

Yang Jingxing smiled: "Forget it." ”

Tao Meng just gave up, feeling that he was too serious.

Tonight I'm playing Beethoven's, the third movement of the Passion Sonata. The classmates barely liked it, but what Ren Chuyu wanted more was: "Play two songs." ”

Others expressed support. Tao Meng came up with an idea: "Just play "Slam Dunk". ”

Well, Yang Jingxing played "Until the End of the World". After playing, I found that the applause of the classmates before and yesterday was fake, but now it is real! Ren Chuyu clapped his hands so proudly, and even Jiang Jing was generous twice.

The classmates were still unsatisfied, but Hu Yiqing quit: "Let's go to self-study, let's come back tomorrow night, Yang Jingxing is going to prepare for the exam." ”

Tuesday, February 14th, Valentine's Day, the weather was clear, there was an undercurrent surging in the school, and it seemed that something was going on in the third year of high school. During the recess, Yang Jingxing was texting, and Ren Chuyu suddenly scared him from the front: "Happy holidays!"

Yang Jingxing cried with a sad face: "You sarcastically mock me!"

Ren Chuyu smiled and asked, "Who are you texting to?"

Yang Jingxing said: "Bachelor brother. ”

Ren Chuyu said: "I want to order a song. ”

Yang Jingxing was generous: "Order, as long as it is me, I will." ”

"The mark of the rain, will it?"

"No problem. ”

After Ren Chuyu left satisfied, Tao Meng taught a lesson: "The exam is going to be taken soon, and I still order songs!"

Yang Jingxing said: "It's a holiday." ”

Tao Meng asked, "You order one for everyone!?"

Yang Jingxing was not afraid: "Okay, what do you order?"

Tao Meng was serious for a moment and thought for a while: "Love and love story." ”

Yang Jing's behavior was difficult: "No, you can sing it." ”

"I won't forget it!" Tao Meng was not fooled.

It was still seven o'clock in the evening, and the piano room was gathered.

Yang Jingxing became more and more pretended: "Today, I played two holiday songs to pay tribute to all the students who were pressed by the mountain of Eighteen Articles, and I hope that at this time next year, everyone can send roses and roses on the ideal university campus." ”

The classmates coaxed, and Hu Yiqing also laughed. But as soon as Yang Jingxing started playing, the piano room immediately quieted down, and he really played "Love Story". He has become more and more proficient in arranging.

It's really a very sad song, pity these young people and girls in the flower season, the hateful eighteen. Tao Meng and Yang Jingxing made eye contact and rewarded him with a smile.

On the evening of the 15th, at the suggestion of Hu Yiqing, Yang Jingxing played the prepared exam repertoire to his classmates, and no one liked it anymore. Tomorrow, Yang Jingxing will go to the Conservatory of Music, and his classmates will cheer him up before leaving.

At half past eight, Tao Meng came again and asked Yang Jingxing: "Will you go directly tomorrow morning?" In fact, tomorrow is the first day of registration, and the exam will start on the 18th, but many people attach too much importance to it, so they arrange it for Yang Jingxing.

Tao Meng asked again: "Have you brought everything with you?" student ID, ID card, photo. ”

Yang Jingxing smiled: "Xie Lu Xie, don't worry." ”

Tao Meng nodded, glanced at Hu Yiqing, and said to Yang Jingxing: "I wish you a smooth exam." ”

Yang Jingxing wondered: "Why do I feel a little nervous." ”

Tao Meng blamed: "What's so nervous! You play so well, take out all your usual self-confidence." ”

Yang Jingxing nodded: "Hmm!"

"Then I'm leaving. ”

On Thursday morning, Yang Jingxing and Hu Yiqing went to the Conservatory of Music, received the watch, and registered. There were so many people, and everyone's expressions made the atmosphere quite tense.

Yang Jingxing received a text message from Yu Xinting: I wish the exam a smooth success.

Yang Jingxing replied: You too, have you signed up? I didn't see you.

I didn't receive a reply for a long time, so Yang Jingxing called to ask, but no one answered for half a day, and the second call was simply refused. After waiting for half an hour, Yang Jingxing called again, but no one answered, so he called Geng Xidong.

“…… She had a hand injury. Geng Xidong held back this sentence for a long time.

Yang Jingxing couldn't accompany Hu Yiqing to lunch, so he rushed to the small piano room and found that there were five people comforting Yu Xinting. Yu Xinting's red and swollen eyes burst into tears as soon as she saw Yang Jingxing, and her lips trembled: "I'm sorry......"

Yang Jingxing squeezed in, couldn't help but break up and took out Yu Xinting's right hand hidden behind her back, and found that the front of her ring finger was wrapped in gauze, which was thick.

Yang Jingxing asked, "Are you seriously injured?"

A girl said as if she was in pain: "My nails are black and swollen ......"

Yang Jingxing asked, "Does it still hurt?"

Yu Xinting cried: "I'm sorry...... I'm not going to be greedy anymore......" threw a lot of macadamia nuts and walnuts on the ground.

A boy came up with an idea: "If you take anesthetic, maybe you can still play." ”

Yang Jingxing asked again: "When did you get it?"

Geng Xidong replied helpfully: "Last night." ”

Another boy said: "We didn't know until we saw that she didn't go out in the morning. ”

"Haven't signed up yet, go sign up!" Yang Jingxing was also very anxious.

It's all like this, what's the name! The others didn't speak. Yu Xinting's tears fell big and big.

Yang Jingxing clenched Yu Xinting's arm and said vigorously: "No matter what, you must take the exam, one point!"

The girl said, "yes, let's take the test." ”

Yu Xinting shook her head, and tears flew out.

Yang Jingxing tried to be as gentle as possible: "What about your confidence! Is it that confidence is gone? So much effort is in vain!" He rummaged through other people's rooms as he spoke, found Yu Xinting's bag, and also found the neatly prepared application materials, hung them on her shoulders, and said loudly: "Stand up!"

Yu Xinting stood up and looked at Yang Jingxing crying and fearful.

I don't know who Yang Jingxing thinks of himself, it's just an order: "We will sign up now, and we will go with you." ”

Others also chimed in and hugged Yu Xinting out of the house. Along the way, Yu Xinting retreated several times, but was forced by Yang Jingxing to move forward.

After completing the registration procedures under the surprised eyes of others, Yang Jingxing arranged: "Geng Xidong, you accompany her to the hospital again, take a good look, and try to remove the gauze, if it doesn't work, you can get some anesthetic." ”

Geng Xidong nodded.

Yang Jingxing asked Yu Xinting again: "Does it still hurt?"

Yu Xinting pursed her mouth: "You can't touch it." ”

"Go to the hospital first. Yang Jingxing took out all his cash and handed it to Geng Xidong: "One thousand sixteen, return it to me." Go ahead, wait for me in the piano room when you're done. ”

Seeing Yu Xinting away, Yang Jingxing went to buy a stack of music papers, and then went to the nearest bedless piano room, paid the rent for 24 hours, booked a few meals, and got busy.

Yang Jingxing received a call from Geng Xidong at 6 p.m., saying that they had come out of the hospital, and the doctor said that there was no special medicine to treat this injury, and it would take half a month to heal. It is impossible to play the piano, and even if the anesthetic is applied, the sensitivity of the fingers will be greatly reduced.

Yang Jingxing told Geng Xidong: "You comfort her well and let her relax." ”

Geng Xidong was anxious: "You think I don't want to be comforted!"

Yang Jingxing said: "Then you take care of her." ”

From noon on the 16th to noon on the 17th, the sound of the piano in Yang Jingxing's room continued, and others thought that this temporary cramming was too crazy, and he played a lot of wrong notes, was he too nervous.

At one o'clock in the afternoon of the 17th, Yang Jingxing appeared in Yu Xinting's piano room and brought Yu Xinting a new version of the exam repertoire she had prepared. Two etudes, a fugue, a sonata, and a large piece, were all made, and the fingering was clearly marked, and none of the fingering had to be done with the ring finger of the right hand. The change is really big, as long as it is a normal person, it will not do such a stupid thing.

Yang Jingxing looked at Yu Xinting's fingers, they were not as thick gauze as before, so they could see the situation inside, it was quite bad, the fingers were swollen, and the nails were more than half black. Ten fingers and even heart, I don't know what kind of pain this girl has become, but she endured it all night before others found out.

Yang Jingxing gently put down Yu Xinting's hand and said, "You have to be strong!"

Yu Xinting nodded.

Yang Jingxing put the thick manuscript on the music stand and said, "Play and read." ”

Yu Xinting looked at the manuscript, the pencil drawing, although there were many traces of erasure, but it was still clean and tidy. She looked at Yang Jingxing again, then adjusted her sitting posture and breathing, and raised her hand facing the piano. The first button went down, and the tears flashed out again.

Although only the right hand part has been changed, although some of Yang Jingxing's methods are very exquisite, but the tune that has been practiced for half a year suddenly becomes like this, and there is one finger missing, Yu Xinting really struggles to play, and she has to look at Yang Jingxing's fingering while reading the score.

Yang Jingxing helped to turn over the score, and after Yu Xinting played Chopin's etudes, he asked, "How do you feel?"

Yu Xinting didn't speak, looked at the score so intently, and began to play the next page of Liszt again. So Yang Jingxing continued to flip the score.

In this way, everyone was silent, listening to Yu Xinting play for more than half an hour, and finished playing Yang Jingxing's manuscript. When the manuscript turned to the last page, the song ended, and the blank paper read: Hard work does not fail, come on.

It was the short-haired girl who spoke first: "It's good." Look at Yang Jingxing: "Really!"

It's all a little connoisseur here, and it's really good to hear these new tunes. If you don't listen to the original every day, you won't find anything inconsistent. Yang Jingxing was inspired last night.

Yu Xinting suddenly stood up and said to everyone: "Xie Lu, thank you, you guys are busy, I'm going to practice." ”

Yang Jingxing nodded: "Okay, let's eat together in the evening." ”

Yu Xinting still had the face to eat, and shook her head: "You guys eat, I'm not hungry." ”

Geng Xidong said: "I'll bring it to you." ”

Yu Xinting nodded: "Xie Luxie." ”

Let's go out and get to know each other. The short-haired girl asked Yang Jingxing, "When did you and Xiaoting meet?"

Yang Jingxing said: "It's been two years. ”

Geng Xidong couldn't help but laugh. Another boy also knew: "It's been two years, last year to now." ”

The short-haired girl sighed: "I really like her...... I was laughing whenever I watched it, and in the morning, I cried so much that I was scared to death. ”

Yang Jingxing called Li Yingzhen again and told him about Yu Xinting, and he asked if Yu Xinting could be allowed not to memorize based on this special situation.

Li Yingzhen was very angry: "You take care of yourself first! She is so careless, what kind of piano does she play." ”

Yang Jingxing interceded: "It's really not easy for her, you've heard it, and she actually plays it very well." ”

"That's a good name! It's useless to tell me anything, see the real chapter in the exam room!"

Yang Jingxing is still dead-faced: "I think she is a talent." ”

Li Yingzhen was polite: "You look at other girls, don't think that I don't know your age, even you are the same!"

In the evening, Yang Jingxing and Geng Xidong had dinner together, and packed a rice bowl and a soup for Yu Xinting, but Geng Xidong refused to ask Yang Jingxing for money.

The two listened outside Yu Xinting's door for a long time, and Yang Jingxing heard many questions, but for a girl who hurt her hand, these questions were no longer a problem.

Yu Xinting was hungry for a day, and she was embarrassed to let the two boys look at her gluttony, so she wanted to drive them out, and she didn't forget to say to Yang Jingxing: "Money, I'll pay you back after the exam." "It's dark in the hospital right now.

Yang Jingxing said: "See you in the exam room tomorrow, and rest early in the evening." ”

"You're leaving?"

Yang Jingxing nodded: "I also want to rest early." ”

"Then you stay safe on the road. ”

Yang Jingxing turned back after going out: "Laugh one." He could laugh himself.

Yu Xinting squeezed out two dimples with her mouth open, so ugly.

On the 18th, the 2006 undergraduate enrollment professional examination of Puhai Conservatory of Music officially began. Yang Jingxing has to take three exams today. Music theory and melody writing in the morning and song writing in the afternoon. More than a dozen calls from his parents, teachers and friends were answered, Hu Yiqing also rushed to the scene, and Zhang Chujia also came to see the excitement, which is really an exaggeration.

At eight o'clock, Yu Xinting and Yu Xinting met each other, Yu Xinting was holding Yang Jingxing's manuscript, her hair was neatly combed, and she was wearing a short down jacket and jeans, as well as boots, which was the gauze on her head.

Yang Jingxing was also nosy: "Remember to apologize to the teacher first." ”

Yu Xinting nodded.

Yang Jingxing boasted to himself again: "The rest is no problem, believe me, such a good score, you can play blindly." ”

Yu Xinting said: "I will play it well." ”

turned around and Zhang Chujia showed off his foresight to Hu Yiqing: "I said it earlier, he is a strange and multifaceted man. ”

Hu Yiqing only cares about the exam: "Just play steadily, and win steadily." ”

Zhang Chujia is still worried about the country and the people: "Our school is going to be amazing!"

The composition department has a written test first, but the piano department has to play the piano first. The order of admission of candidates is randomly disrupted, which can be regarded as preventing fraud, but there is no curtain test. This is also Yu Xinting's luck, otherwise the teachers and professors will not see how she is, they will only listen to how well she plays.

Yu Xinting was in the first order, and the tenth entered the examination room. The invigilators were all taken aback, this guy, and the candidates who entered the examination room of the piano department of the Puhai Conservatory of Music with their scores!

Li Yingzhen was also there, looking at Yu Xinting. Yu Xinting bowed first, and was about to say the words taught by Yang Jingxing, when Li Yingzhen asked first: "What's the matter with your hand?"

"I'm sorry, teacher, I accidentally injured myself. Yu Xinting's eyelashes trembled. The six authoritative experts in front of us are sitting in a row, and there is still pressure!

Another teacher asked, "Can I still play if I'm hurt!?"

"Yes!"

"Why do you still have a score?

"I'm sorry, teacher, my hand was injured the day before yesterday, so the song is fresh. ”

"No matter how new you practice, you have to memorize it. ”

Li Yingzhen asked, "What are you practicing?"

Yu Xinting hung her head, looked at the manuscript in her hand and explained: "It was my friend who adapted it for me......"

Hey, it's strange that the five professors and teachers are all bumped into each other at once!

To the surprise of the teachers, Li Yingzhen got up from her seat, walked to Yu Xinting's side, asked her to sit down, and took the manuscript in her hand to read it, and recognized it at a glance, it was indeed the boy's masterpiece.

Li Yingzhen put the score on the piano and said to Yu Xinting: "Don't be nervous, play it well." ”

Professor Li Yingzhen actually helped the candidates turn over the score. Sure enough, if you don't pull the curtain, there will be a shady curtain! But after Yu Xinting started playing, they didn't think about shady things, because Yu Xinting's performance and music itself were beyond their imagination.

For more than half an hour, when Yu Xinting played to the second madness, the teachers saw tears overflowing from her round eyes and sliding down on her fair face. Although the white gauze on her fingers contrasted strongly with the black keys of the piano, no one could tell that she was missing a finger. It seems that Yu Xinting herself doesn't have this awareness, she has been so devoted, and she was moved to tears by herself.

Li Yingzhen nodded while flipping through the score, and the weird smile on her face made her colleagues unbelievable. After Yu Xinting finished playing, Li Yingzhen returned to her seat. changed the question, Li Yingzhen didn't speak first.

So the other teachers came first, and they were all questions that were not difficult. Ask me about my understanding of the work and my structural analysis.

Li Yingzhen finally asked, "Are you satisfied with your performance today?"

Yu Xinting said: "Satisfied!"

"Do you think the Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 you played today is any different from the original?"

Yu Xinting thought for a while, and finally answered the question: "Every time I played the piano before, I used to practice it, but today it's not." ”

Several teachers looked at each other, and they didn't seem to have anything to ask, so Li Yingzhen said, "Okay, you can go." ”

A teacher suddenly shouted, "Wait a minute, you said you made this tune, who helped you adapt it?"

Yu Xinting didn't seem to want to answer: "My friend is also a candidate, and he is admitted to the composition department." ”

"What's the name?"

Yu Xinting hesitated: "...... Yang Jingxing. ”

Sure enough, someone glanced at Li Yingzhen. The nosy teacher hurriedly said, "You played well, you can go...... Take good care of your injuries. ”

Yu Xinting bowed and left.

Geng Xidong asked Yu Xinting how she felt, and Yu Xinting said that she didn't know anything at all. Yang Jingxing, this guy, handed in the paper in more than half an hour for the two-hour music theory exam. He didn't ask Yu Xinting how she felt, but said, "Have a good rest, there will be the day after tomorrow." ”

The piano department will re-examine the day after tomorrow, and the music theory test will be examined. Only one-third of piano candidates can enter the re-examination. entered the retest, and only one-third of them failed the list.
