87. Chapter 87
This is the first time Leon has been able to have a cup of coffee with the girl he likes.
He waited a long time and was very happy.
Su Qingjia didn't drink coffee, she ordered a cup of hot milk, stirred it with a spoon, and after greetings, she got straight to the point, "Leon, thank you for helping me so hard, but I'm sorry, I still can't promise you." โ
Leon thought about it for a long time, showed enough sincerity, he spent a long time personally composing a duet score, the melody and chapter progression is very good, although it is not a hundred years old, but it is enough to shock the music world, Leon is already very famous, and partnering with him, no matter which pianist, will take the opportunity to become famous.
"Is it another refusal?" Leon took a sip of black coffee, "This is the second time I've been rejected, and the first time was also by you." โ
Su Qingjia smiled, "Is it because you were rejected that you were so persistent?" The girls have a trick. โ
He shook his head and said, "I'm not such a boring person, Bella, I really want to play with you this time, I swear, without any sense of โกโก, I just think that my cooperation with you can make this piece play its due brilliance, Lilith said that our ensemble is very tacit." โ
"Your music is very good, as long as you are willing to cooperate, you can play it well with anyone, and the tacit understanding when playing a duet is what a musician should have." Su Qingjia took out the spoon and put it aside, "Leon, I don't want to owe you, even if I fail to play, it's all my own business." โ
"Is it because of your boyfriend? That new football star? Leon looked her in the eye, "I want to know the real answer, not perfunctory." โ
Su Qingjia did not evade, and nodded very seriously, "Yes, it's because of him, we love each other very much, I don't want to let this relationship have any gaps, and to put it bluntly, if it weren't for him, I would definitely play with you." "Who wouldn't be tempted by such a big pie? She is not a simple little girl, she knows how rare opportunities are, but when Carlos brings her the photos sent by Anthony to Shen Ke, she knows that she will not hurt such a simple boy.
Leon spread his hands and drank the black coffee in one gulp, "So I lost to you, to your choice." โ
"No, you didn't lose to me, you lost to him, because of him, I have enough courage to choose to refuse." Su Qingjia denied his words, "Black coffee is very bitter, and Carlos has always only drunk sweet milk. โ
Leon looked at the milk that was still swirling in the bone china cup, and said with a smile: "You only drink milk." โ
Su Qingjia said goodbye to him, Leon still pulled out a chair for her very gentlemanly, and then stood in place and watched her leave the back a little distracted, in fact, he used to like to drink milk, but the older he gets, the elders told him that he must learn to taste red wine, learn to taste coffee, sometimes he is upset, and the bitter taste will overshadow those painful feelings.
When he left the checkout, the waiter told him that the girl had already paid, and Leon smiled self-deprecatingly, not wanting to owe him anything.
On November 12, the field hall arrived as scheduled, and the field hall was filled with an early audience, and although the performers were anonymous and even the invitation letter only had a brief repertoire and bio, they were also looking forward to the name of Louis's only disciple. After all, Louis is a master of the contemporary classical music scene, and even if a disciple of this level is not famous, he will definitely not be far behind.
The field concert hall in the academy has many shining stars, and each class of piano graduates will show their brilliance here one after another, which does not adopt the general design of a modern concert hall, but is more like an old-fashioned dance venue, with the actors' exits located directly opposite the auditorium rather than on the side, all decorated in wood, ancient with elegance, and the echo effect of the whole venue is very good.
Su Qingjia was a little nervous in the backstage dressing room, and the stylist was praising her beauty.
She changed into a blue and white gradient princess dress, the outermost layer of tulle was shining, her long hair was draped on the side, and the pearl headdress was inserted in the braided shape.
Carlos was waiting for her outside the door, during which he had been glared at by Louis I don't know how many times, from Louis's humming words, he knew that Leon proposed to increase the ensemble repertoire, his first reaction was apprehension, but after learning that he was rejected, his heart swelled with joy, and then began to blame himself lightly.
The date of the show chosen by the girl understood the meaning from the moment he just learned about it, 2 and 3 her birthday, the number of his jersey, such a surprise had a secret sense of excitement.
I don't know if it's intentional or unintentional, in the lineup of the two weeks, Carlos has been hidden from it, but this has not caused much controversy, after all, the players are not machines, and they always need some rest, and the coach will judge whether to play the main force depending on the important part of the game. However, I can't see the little golden retriever who loves โกโก in these games, and the fans still miss it a little.
Carlos applied for a vacation very smoothly, flying from France to the United States to see Su Qingjia's recital.
It was an extremely important moment in the girl's life, and he did not want to be absent.
The door to the dressing room was opened by the assistant, and when he saw the girl's appearance, Carlos, who was wearing a suit and tie, felt that his breathing was a little uncontrollable.
"Eh, it's so beautiful, that's it." Shen Ke stabbed Carlos in the waist, "Speaking of you kid, why is your luck so good, such a big Bai Fumei was arched by you." You said that if I had gone to the stadium to play football more often, would I have picked up a beautiful woman, eh, it looks like it's quite big. โ
His expression was particularly vivid, and the little golden retriever hurriedly covered his eyes and said sternly: "That's mine, you are not allowed to look at it." โ
Shen Ke: ......
Louis walked up and hugged her, stroking her long hair with some emotion, "Now you are officially the most beautiful one in the piano world," and comforted her, "Bella, don't be nervous, I believe in you, you are fine, you don't need to come again." โ
Su Qingjia nodded, and her heart began to calm down.
Louis babbled a lot of words, Su Qingjia has been listening to the side, many things Louis has said many times in class, but he is still not at ease, after all, he is his only disciple, he is like a granddaughter.
The assistant came in to sue him and needed to adjust the media on the spot, and after Louis cheered Su Qingjia up again, he left the backstage.
Shen Ke broke Carlos's hand, sighed a few words of praise, and ran away quickly.
"Why don't you come and talk to me?" Su Qingjia spun around in front of him, "Am I beautiful?" โ
"Pretty." Carlos walked up slowly, "I don't even know what to say. โ
The first time he saw her put on makeup, he felt a little glamorous, and he put lipstick on his lips, which made him salivate.
Su Qingjia wore high heels, narrowing the difference in their height, "I found that this height is very suitable for kissing in the future, what do you think?" She was tempting him in such a way.
The little golden retriever was completely unfocused, and lowered her head to eat the lipstick she had just applied, tossing and turning gently, unwilling to let go. After a long time, he took out a necklace and put it on her slender neck, "It is also suitable for wearing a necklace." โ
Su Qingjia touched the pendant on her chest, it was a diamond transfer bead, like a small football, there was a clicking sound at the door, Shen Ke peeped in the corner, she blushed a little, and said, "I'll go in and make up for makeup, it's going to start soon." โ
Carlos kissed the corner of her lips again and said, "I'll wait for you in the audience, don't be afraid, it's like you're just playing the piano for me." โ
Su Qingjia snorted and walked into the dressing room.
At eight o'clock in the evening, the lights of the concert hall went out, the spotlight played on the stage, and Su Qingjia walked to the piano from the middle aisle.
When she stood on the stage and saluted, everyone saw her face clearly, and there was a sound of gasping in the audience. The necklace around her neck made her dreamy, and applause rang out.
Sitting in front of the white Steinway, she took a slight breath and looked down the stage, Carlos made a loving gesture to her, and she suddenly relaxed, raised her wrist, and began to play.
For this solo performance, she prepared five pieces, the first four of which were master's works, and the last one was her independent composition.
"Blossoms", her birthday present to Carlos, is also a graduation project, witnessing the beginning of her musical career.
Her performance was very tense, and with the delicacy of a girl, the dramatic performance and the crisp and clear treatment caught the ears of the audience, and the pianists, who had come in Louis's face, began to prick up their ears in earnest.
Su Qingjia obviously inherited Louis's unrestrained in the control of the sound of the piano, but it also combined with the agile jumping, if Louis's piano sound is a merry nobleman, then she is a spirit wandering in the woods.
Every movement stops with thunderous applause, and Su Qingjia is very comfortable immersed in the world of notes, all the "degrees" are vividly played, and the timbre, grammar and dynamics are exquisitely changed.
After playing the four songs, she paused, looked at Carlos again, and played "Blossom".
She was bold enough to play her own work after the master's work, but by the time the first measure had passed, the audience had already lost all the surprise they had at the beginning of the performance.
She plays beautifully, it is a girl reading her love poems, bits and pieces when the love is first opened.
Some viewers shed tears.
After the performance, the audience gave a standing ovation, they called Encore and asked Su Qingjia to play the track just now, Su Qingjia nodded, and happily played this melody.
Her movement is not perfect, but this is a piece that wins with emotion, and it can be played with the most sincere and full emotion to make people realize the charm in it, and this is a piece that suits her perfectly. Louis applauded from the audience and quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and Lilith's eye makeup was a little sloppy.
At the end of the performance, Su Qingjia lifted her skirt on the stage and kept curtain calling, the door of the concert hall was opened, and in the middle aisle, a boy came over with flowers.
The standing spectators looked sideways.
This kind of flower offering is rarely allowed here, and they are all amazed.
The boy was dressed in a well-cut suit, his already tall figure was well revealed, the inverted triangle was perfect, he held a bouquet of fiery roses, and his blonde hair danced with diamonds in the light of the spotlight.
Su Qingjia was stunned for a moment, she stood in front of the piano and watched Carlos come over step by step.
"Happy graduation, my girl." Carlos hugged her and offered her roses.
It was as if the whole world was left with only the two of them, and the girl's skirt shone brightly, like the most beautiful moonlight cast into his heart. After waiting for a long, long time, the flowers in his world bloomed full.
