In the school cafeteria, Alice came here with Mike after receiving the materials, of course, there was a brand new notebook in her hand, holding it in front of Mike, and apologetically "Sorry, Mike, I broke your notebook, this quality is better, use this, I'm sorry...."

Mike held the notebook, and suddenly didn't know why his heart was empty, and he said helplessly, "It's nothing, I originally put the notebook at home, but I came to my alma mater today to commemorate it, and add some notes, forget it, maybe God doesn't want me to continue to use it."

"Uh... I'm still sorry, a cup of coffee, a cup of coffee..."Alice smiled apologetically as she held the exam papers. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Let's think about the assessment first, the afternoon is the first one, there will be two more tomorrow morning, two in the afternoon, three the day after tomorrow, eight exams, I don't know if you are on the top of the prison or not" Mike took a sip of coffee, and saw that there were only two materials in her arms, and he was stunned "I remember the violin and piano assessment, there are at least six books, why did you take two"

Alice looked down at the two books in her arms, Schubert's 10 symphonies collection, and Paganini's Caprice, all of which she had read many times, but the one at home in Korea was too old, so she took these two books, but if she told the real reason, she would probably be scolded to death by the teacher, cleared her throat, pretended to smile easily, and said" Because I think two books are enough, the assessment, the test is strength, how can you look at these, Mike, you believe me, it's just a doctor of music, you got it when you were still twenty years old, I'm still a year older than you, look, how good you are as a teacher"

"You ......" Mike was stuck in his throat by the words of this passage, and he couldn't refute her, so he had to continue drinking coffee in a muffled voice.

In the afternoon, Alice appeared in the side hall of the concert hall on time, and there were only about a dozen people who came to participate in the assessment, there were more people from all over the world, and there were more people on the judges' table than the candidates.

Alice sat in the tailseat, she must know the sight around her, and she also understood why they looked at herself, her eyes under her sunglasses blinked twice, and she thought with some confusion, could it be that her popularity has increased by leaps and bounds? Or the American people have become more enthusiastic, it's really strange, it can't be because the trailer is released....

Examination students only go up one at a time, and it is also a public performance, the first assessment is the violin, the piano used must be scored in the school, this is not a problem, the problem is, the violin is faulty, either the string shaft is broken or there is no cheek rest, or the string is missing two, or the sleeper is broken, the fingerboard is split, so that the people who see it are frowning, how can people play the piano?

Alice was very 'lucky' to get a piece of strings that was missing three strings, D, A, E three strings have disappeared, leaving only the G string to face alone, when I got the piano, my head quickly recalled the piece with only the G string, Moses theme variation? No, it's too simple, the second movement of the third orchestra, aria? This should be okay, Bach's most romantic piece at that time.

Although she was a little reluctant to Paganini's variations on the Moses theme, but romance was paramount, Alice still chose the aria on the G string, which was not high in pitch and was only suitable for the strings, which seemed to be a great blessing in misfortune.

Outside the door of the concert hall, Mike was standing here waiting for Alice to come out, time passed very quickly, more than four hours had passed unconsciously, the sun was about to set, and before the students came out, he looked behind him in a hurry, but what he saw was just a calm Shaffer, he stood here for a reason, non-assessment students, not allowed to enter....

After waiting for more than ten minutes, Mike saw Alice appear, and anxiously stepped forward and asked, "How is it, has it passed?"

Alice crossed her arms and looked at Mike up and down, looking at Mike's nervous and anxious expression, she handed him the assessment form in her hand with a smile, and cocked her chin proudly, "Of course, you don't look at who I am, you can win the first place by relying on arias~ a string"

"Really, wow, that's good, good" Mike looked at the shiny A+ on the assessment sheet, nodded and smiled with satisfaction, and continued, "Don't let up tomorrow, Ellie, there are already a few music doctors under the teacher, I hope you are the next one, you must win"

"I will, Mike, don't worry" Alice chuckled and patted Mike's arm, looking at Shaffer's gesture of clicking on his watch, and reacted that it was already time to report to his sister about dinner, and said with a smile, "I have something to do, Mike, go back first"

"Well, tomorrow at half past eight is the second assessment, don't forget" Mike nodded and explained.

"Got it, got it," Alice smiled and waved, following Shaffel to the parking lot.

When I returned to the hotel, the first thing I did was to take out my mobile phone and send a video invitation to Pani who was far away in South Korea, I don't know if it was too early, my sister hadn't woken up yet, and the video call was not picked up, so I had to eat first, watching TV while eating.

It was late, and when Alice was about to fall asleep in bed, Pani called back, "Sorry, baby, I just woke up.... Yesterday was a bit too much"

"It's okay, this is not to report to you, I passed the first assessment today, and if it goes well tomorrow, the violin will be done, how can I say that I have been a violinist for so many years?"

"Roar.... Congratulations, how can it be so easy to get a PhD in music? It's only been a few days."

"Sister, where is this easy, since I graduated, I was registered by my teacher in the list of music doctor assessments, it depends on the assessment candidate's understanding of music, enthusiasm, others are the same, I have been observed for many years, before I was notified of the formal assessment, I still rely on becoming an artist, a little famous, it can be regarded as a sudden progress."

"Ang~ So that's it"

"Mmmmmmmm~ That's right, sister, I've eaten, you remember to eat too"

"Got it"

He said that he would go to bed at nine o'clock, but Pani made the phone call for almost an hour, and he hung up until almost eleven o'clock, and it was because Taeyeon sympathized with Alice and pulled Pani out of the house to end the call.

Alice leaned on the head of the bed, looked at the time displayed on the alarm clock was eleven forty, rubbed her head weakly, and saw that Leon was already lying at the end of the bed and falling asleep, shaking her hair and lying down in the bed, recuperating, I am the one who wants to get a double doctor of music!
