Ji Qianyu looked at him with deep and calm eyes, and smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Seeing that I have to ask you for help, the one over there must be a sense of accomplishment, right? Connie. She whispered, a sarcastic expression on her face. Old Connie sat down on the stool across from her, facing her drawing board, and looked polite and personable in all his gestures, his pale blonde hair almost entirely white and neatly combed, and his blue eyes were wrinkled and mildly sharp, more photogenic than all the men she had drawn this morning.

He sat upright, and Ji Qianyu bowed slightly calmly: "Miss said that I laughed, I came here from Austria to take care of you, and it is my honor that you need my help at this time." ”

"Oh, thank you then." Ji Qianyu hooked his lips silently, didn't say anything more, and the pencil in his hand drew a free and scattered arc on the sketch paper. People come and go on the street, no one cares about the two foreigners who are sketching the street, that is, someone who hurriedly glances at them when they pass by, and the next second they go their separate ways, leaving the two far behind.

The two of them did not speak for a while, and the confrontation came quietly and suddenly. Ji Qianyu lowered his eyes and stared at the drawing board intently, and Connie was also extremely calm, smiling and not in a hurry to ask. After sitting opposite each other for a moment, Connie shrugged his shoulders silently, spread his hands in compromise, and took the initiative to break the deadlock.

"Miss is there anything you need my help with?" He asked with an impeccable smile, his blue eyes showing kindness and gentleness, and even the curvature of the wrinkles on his face carried a comforting kindness. Ji Qianyu raised his head to look at him, and Connie smiled at her with concern, "I heard that Miss encountered a little trouble last night, a shocking and regrettable accident...... Maybe that's why you need me at this point? I hope you're doing well now. ”

"I'm nothing, I can't die anyway." Ji Qianyu looked at him fixedly for a few seconds, and said lightly, "Why do you have to put on such a shocked look, after all, I can suddenly track down this clue about Ji Qiufu...... Isn't it your handiwork? ”

Connie shook his head unhurriedly: "Miss's speculation is really sad. ”

"It's okay to be sad, it's better to reflect more." Ji Qianyu stared at the thin layer of pencil ash falling on his fingers, and blew it lightly, "Connie is such a smart person, this time he actually found two pig teammates, and before he did anything, he was scared of his courage, and he did everything in one go." ”

Last night, with the sound of the box door locking, the two men rushed over. Not to mention that there is no intention of apologizing at all, and the words and actions are obscene. She didn't expect anything to come out of the interrogation, but the two of them sent it to the door by themselves, and they leaked their bottom in one sentence.

The man named Lu Heng slid towards her, and said with a hippie smile: "I heard that this girl is still some kind of Austrian down-and-out nobleman, Chen Shao, you said that if you accept this girl, can you still be a cheap son-in-law, and get a large manor in Austria?" ”

The four words of the down-and-out aristocracy are too subtle. When Ji Qianyu slapped the two of them with a sharp cracked wine bottle, he suddenly thought, sure enough, people will still have weaknesses and omissions, after leaving Austria and not in their own territory, they will act as perfectly as Connie, and it is inevitable that they will expose such a big flaw to her as soon as they come up.

After all, in this country, there are very few people who know her identity, and adding the definite word down-and-out in front of her absolutely prosperous family to induce Yan Yi to dare to attack her with confidence is too subtle, if she can't react, the first twenty years of her life are equivalent to living in vain.

She just stared at Connie with a smile, and Connie's eyes rolled, and almost immediately understood what was wrong, so he smiled suddenly, his face did not change, and he applauded twice gracefully, and praised sincerely: "Miss is so intelligent, Mr. Winster would be very pleased if he knew about it." ”

What are you happy about, I'm afraid I'll only regret that I didn't raise her stupid in the past 20 years. Ji Qianyu laughed faintly twice, and raised the corner of his lips: "Are you talking about Mr. Winster or Young Master Winster?" ”

Connie bowed his head gently and calmly, "I think it's all the same." ”

It's all the same. Too lazy to argue with Connie on this issue, Ji Qianyu no longer answered, and simply got straight to the point: "Now that the situation is clear, then I think, Connie doesn't mind helping me solve this big trouble?" ”

Since the handle is held in the palm of her hand, the corresponding things naturally cannot be escaped. Both of them were as clear as a mirror in their hearts, and Connie bowed down slightly, smiling at her with impeccable manners: "It's my honor to share Miss's worries and solve problems. ”

Very good, Ji Qianyu retracted her gaze, and suddenly heard Connie ask her: "The two years of exchange students will also pass soon, I don't know what Miss's plans are for the future?" ”

Ji Qianyu's eyes rolled, and he looked at him with a smile: "Asked for your young master?" ”

Connie smiled back, not admitting or denying it, and replied gently: "It's just out of concern, after all, Ms. Ji's whereabouts are still unknown." ”

"Oh, then I haven't decided yet, whether to stay here or go back to Austria depends on the mood, Ji Qiufu is a person, even if you can't find it, I'm not too obsessed."

After being exposed to the sun for a long time, it was still not very comfortable, Ji Qianyu was shaken and half-squinted, and after calming down, he started to tidy up his things, put the pencil and sketch paper into the drawing board, stood up, and with a cold smile, he looked at Connie who stood up with her movements.

"So please tell your young master that it's not good to make me feel bad. After all, as long as my half-sister is still alive for a day, he won't be the only rightful heir to the Winster family. So don't do dirty things in secret—"

"After all, whether I am dead or alive, I can make him never have peace for the rest of his life."

Every word of this sentence is true, how intimidating it sounds, Ji Qianyu looked at Connie and thought lightly. However, how can the truth be so beautiful, she is like the eternal Cinderella in Disney's fairy tales, but unfortunately the story does not go in the same direction. Their stepmother didn't bring an evil sister, but she gave birth to a scheming younger brother. And she doesn't have any princes and pumpkin carriages, but fortunately, she is covered in thorns, and she can barely struggle to survive, and no matter how bad she is, she can fight to the death.

As if intimidated by her words, Connie put away the smile that had been hanging on his face and really lowered his eyebrows in response. Ji Qianyu looked at him with a dull expression for a moment, suddenly wrinkled his eyebrows, and spoke again: "Actually, there is a small matter I want to ask you for help, I don't know if I can give me a convenience by the way, it will be a task for you, but it is not easy for me to check...... There is no conflict of interest with your young master, it is a little personal matter of mine. ”

Connie was stunned for a moment, and glanced at her in surprise: "I am the last butler of the Winster family, and it is my duty to help Miss...... If there is anything you need me to help with, please feel free to ask. ”

Ji Qianyu looked at him and slowly bit his lip: "I want to ask you to help me check someone...... A pianist, I don't need to check my personal affairs, I just want you to help me collect the video of his performance, there are too few domestic resources, and it is almost impossible to retrieve. ”

"His name is Fu Yufeng, and I once went to see one of his concerts."

As a former ace butler, Connie is still very efficient. Yan Yi didn't know how it was going, but Ji Qianyu received the video material from Connie the next day.

"There are not many videos about Mr. Fu Yufeng, this is a rising star in the piano performance world, who won a gold medal at an international performance competition at the age of 20, behaves in a low-key manner, basically does not appear in front of the media, and after three or four years there is no news, and his whereabouts are still unknown - of course, I think Mr. Fu's whereabouts, you already know, Miss."

After reading the supplementary explanation given by Connie, Ji Qianyu clicked on the video.

At the top of the list is the final video of him winning the gold medal at the age of 20, and it has been nearly ten years since he watched it. Fu Yufeng in the video is younger than she is now, wearing a shirt and suit is still between teenagers and young people, slender and straight in the middle of a group of tall, short, fat and thin performers, is the undoubted focus of the crowd.

At that time, his facial features had been fixed into the gentle and handsome appearance he is now, but he was obviously much more active, and when he stood up after the performance, he held the piano with one hand and brushed his chest with the other, bowed at a ninety-degree angle, raised his eyebrows slightly, and glanced at the camera with a smile.

For a while, the youthful spirit and romantic freehand were simply unstoppable, like the sunshine of midsummer rushing from the screen. Ji Qianyu looked at him when he picked up the trophy for a while, and clicked on the second video.

In a few videos, she is like a belated witness, meeting Fu Yufeng, who is between 20 and 25 years old. After watching the video, Ji Qianyu realized that he used to laugh very much, and when he played the piano with his eyes closed, the corners of his lips would unconsciously raise slightly, and when he opened his eyes, his eyes were full of tenderness. Whether playing a concerto, a variation, a march or a waltz, he always seems unhurried, his hands on the keys as if by magic, and the sound of high and low sounds pouring from his fingertips.

He used to bow deeply at the end of the show, wearing only a classic black suit and white shirt, not as thin as he looks now, and he was inseparable from his Steinway grand piano.

The last video is the concert where she went to the scene.

It was a New Year concert of a prestigious symphony orchestra, and she was living on the streets, not wanting to see a happy family of three in the New Year, so she went to buy a ticket. The show had already begun when she entered, and as she groped her way in the dark, the music of the principal piano sounded.

It was Johann Strauss the Younger's "Blue Danube", a well-known waltz by Austrians. She sat down and glanced distractedly at the side of the stage, and was surprised to find that the principal piano was a stranger with black hair and black eyes.

The name Fu Yufeng, she had glanced at it casually in the introduction book at the time, and then only regarded it as a passerby, and then she never remembered it again.

And now when looking at it from the camera position, Ji Qianyu pressed pause and closed his eyes.

It turned out that from that time, he didn't smile much.

If at that time, she met him......

It's a pity that there are no ifs in life.

Ji Qianyu closed her eyes and looked at the computer alone for a long time, until the phone rang abruptly and pulled her out of her contemplation. Ji Qianyu frowned, took out his mobile phone and glanced at it, then unexpectedly raised his eyebrows slightly and pressed answer.

"Teacher Xu?" Somewhat surprised, she asked, "Is there anything wrong with me?" ”

"Hey, classmate Ji Qianyu?" Xu Jing's voice came out, and it seemed a little strange to listen to it over the phone, "Do you have time to come to school now?" The participants of the school celebration show have just been decided, and they will have a meeting together to talk about it. ”

"I remember if I didn't do it?" Ji Qianyu raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Originally, there was no ......," Xu Jing hesitated on the other end of the phone and said slowly, "but now with your five minutes...... Ji Qianyu, what is your relationship with Fu Yufeng? ”
