When the first rays of the sun shine on the Cape of Good Hope, South Africa, the southernmost country on the African continent, welcomes the grand event they have been preparing for for four years, the singing and dancing of the opening ceremony detonates the rainbow country, people from all over the world proudly wave their national flags, and every time the camera captures the national team, the deafening screams remind people that this is the World Cup.

When they took off from the airport, the Spanish people put up a lot of banners, and they sent away the hope of the national team in this way, and at the same time hoped that the national team would bring them good news. Carlos turned his head to look at his team-mates, they were all from different clubs, they were all fighting for different goals in the Champions League, and because of the glory of the country, they got along well during this period of time, and the atmosphere in the dressing room was harmonious.

Oleg walked at the rear, and during the expedition, it was the blonde beauty who could give him the most strength.

He held the girl's face with a wet kiss and waved his fist at the fans as he walked towards the team and shouted: "I love you, Spain!" ”

He shouted in Spanish, he was extraordinarily energetic, his lung capacity was quite good, he was not sucked dry by the intoxicating kisses, the fans' affection was pushed to a new peak, the crowd and waving arms were accompanied by red clothing embellishments, more and more people joined the shouts, and the security guards who maintained order also forgot their duties at this time, they took off their hats and shouted at the people who were far away.

"Let's have some fun." Oleg was on Carlos's shoulders, they were the same height, but there was a big difference in skin color and physique, but everyone knew that they were rare good brothers on the court, and they had an extraordinary tacit understanding.

Carlos nodded and stopped his teammates next to him, and the twenties formed an arc at the gate, the backs of their hands and palms overlapped, and the same dream surged in their hearts—

"Come on, Spain!"

The quadrennial World Cup has shown the unity of the Spanish people, nationalism has become insignificant at this moment, the players of Real Madrid and Barcelona, as well as the elite of Chelsea, AC Milan and other teams have gathered here, Bosque has a slightly fat belly, and he is smiling extraordinarily.

This is a special plane chartered by the Spanish national team, and in the next few hours, it will fly several latitudes and longitudes to the territory of South Africa.

Carlos took two lollipops out of his pocket, one orange-flavored, and gave them to Oleg, and a cherry-flavored one, which he smashed and ate himself. For the World Cup, he did not change the number of his jersey, the all-red jersey was printed with the number "23" on the back, and the logo of the national flag replaced the club's badge engraved on the chest.

The cabin was filled with excited shouts and singing of the players, and Carlos put on a blindfold.

It's only been a few days, but he still misses his girl. Tonight, Bella will take the stage to play, and she says she's going to give him a long-overdue but still precious engagement gift.

On the western outskirts of Berlin, the sky is sprinkled with cotton wool, and the "Waldney Forest Theater" is located. This forest theater is a creation of nature and a gift from nature to music lovers. The site of the amphitheater was originally a forest, but due to the decommissioning of the natural ecology, a basin about 30 meters deep has gradually formed. It has been artistically renovated to accommodate 22,000 spectators in 88 rows of circular seating.

The natural forest landscape combined with art and design made it an ideal venue for large-scale outdoor concerts, and has since become famous with the Berliner Philharmoniker's annual "Forest Concert".

This year, the Philharmonic Orchestra has made a small change to the live performance, and they will broadcast the entire concert live on both online and television platforms.

Su Qingjia's performance is scheduled for the ninth and penultimate program, after which the Philharmonic Orchestra will perform the final encore, "Berlin Air". This light-hearted, fast-paced, joyful piece is the most proud of all Berliners.

As the chief commander of this time, Rattle positioned the theme - "South African Night" as a tribute to the World Cup, a football event.

When night falls, the forest is enveloped in laughter, with a white twin tower canopy standing in the center.

At 8:15 p.m., the concert officially began with the clarity and excitement of Mozart's No. 19 in F major.

It is Mozart's most popular work, with a strong momentum to try it, full of excitement, inspiration and hilarious variations.

It echoes the theme of this year, "South African Night", a football night full of hard work and enthusiasm.

The sound of cicadas and birds on summer nights is accompanied by the sound of musical instruments, and the unique structure of this forest makes the concert clear to every audience member.

Su Qingjia changed into a red dress and waited backstage.

This is the performance dress that Liu Mengya once joked about preparing for her, and now it has been really worn on her body, and after the latest design modification, the whole body is full of splendor and intoxicating. The buckle and stand-up collar have been omitted, the golden phoenix embroidered from top to bottom seems to be reborn in the fire, the hem follows the design of the cheongsam, the high slit is high, she coils up her long hair, forks a golden hairpin, delicate makeup and stunning red lips become the center of attention.

She walked up to the piano in her high heels and bowed, and the audience watched her move steadily.

It is a well-known fact that Su Qingjia will be the piano soloist this time, but when the program list came out, everyone still couldn't believe it - she was going to play her newly composed repertoire, a song "Nirvana" that no one had ever heard.

But when her slender fingers tapped on the keys, the doubts were more than half gone.

The melody of this solo song is simple and beautiful, like a petrel flying under a clear sky, but suddenly encountering a storm and waves on the calm sea, but the petrel is not afraid at all, and before the next wind and wave arrives, it breaks out of the encirclement and soars freely in the higher sky.

The repertoire with a strong sense of picture and drama is accompanied by a hearty performance, and everyone only thinks that she is wearing a red dress, bright as a burning flame.

The light hits the hem of her skirt, and the faint phoenix pattern is even more thrilling.

Bunches of small fireworks were lit in the audience, like twinkling stars in the dark night, and applause was like waves of the sea.

After Su Qingjia finished playing, he bowed reverently for a curtain call.

In the final encore, fans from afar applauded to the beat.

In the midst of encore, Su Qingjia wrapped his arms around Sir Rattle's arm to take the curtain call, and Sir Rattle picked up the microphone to thank the audience.

“…… Over the past year, we have been with music, spanning spring, summer, autumn and winter, and everyone in the Philharmonic Orchestra is looking forward to cleansing their minds with the best performances. I would like to thank you for your continued commitment and hope that South Africa Night will make a difference. At the same time, I would like to announce the good news-"

Sir Rattle paused and kissed the back of Su Qingjia's hand, "This beautiful and elegant young lady next to me will be the chief pianist of the Philharmonic Orchestra, and I believe that she will also surprise the Philharmonic Orchestra and bring you the beauty of music!" ”

The former principal piano of the Philharmonic Orchestra has left, and Su Qingjia signed an agreement with the orchestra shortly after arriving in Berlin to take on the role of principal in a world-class orchestra, which will only do good to her career, not harm. This is the price that Sir Rattle promised her to solo a new repertoire at concert.

The lights on the field had all been turned on, and Su Qingjia picked up a silver microphone and simply thanked him.

"The track that Bella brings to you today is called "Nirvana", which is the meaning of Phoenix Nirvana, rebirth from the fire, so Bella might as well tell us the story behind this song." The atmosphere at the scene was very warm, and Sir Rattle accidentally talked a little too much, and this translation was really good enough.

Many pairs of shining eyes were watching her, the video was live, Carlos was watching her in the distant South African country, in the East 2nd District, he called her during the day, he missed her very much. Su Qingjia paused, this was a part that had not been done beforehand, but she still nodded at the jazz.

She had only prepared a short speech, but suddenly, after the performance, she had a lot to say.

I want to say it to Carlos, I want to say it to all those who misunderstand him.

During this period of time, Carlos and Su Qingjia have not made any more statements about the beating incident, but this does not mean that the heat has passed, on the contrary, everyone is happy to know what kind of attitude Su Qingjia will have as the girlfriend of the party in this matter, and her attitude is Carlos's attitude at a large level.

"Just half a month ago, I did one of the most important things in my life." Su Qingjia smiled and turned the plain white ring on his middle finger, "I'm engaged, and my boyfriend who has been in love for four years." I've been asked a lot of people why this is the time. Indeed, this is a very dark period in my life, and I have experienced many, many things, which you must also know. But I was still engaged to him, and there were a lot of accusations and violent acts from the outside world, but until that time, I didn't know what it was like to be protected by someone with all my might. ”

'I don't know how people judge the value of a player, but in my opinion, he's a successful player. For more than three years, he has been conscientious, never clubbed and indulged, never proud and complacent, on the pitch, he has always made breakthroughs, never rested on his laurels, he brought glory back to the club, but he has always been humble and courteous. There is an old Chinese saying that water can carry a boat and it can also capsize a boat, and I have felt this deeply in the past month. I don't want to defend the fact that I was beaten, but I ask you to think about what would make a boy who has always been gentle act like this. ”

Carlos's courteous attitude is known to all, he never targets any player, and in the eyes of many children, he is a gentle big brother worth learning from.

"He's going to give it his all every game, even if he has a knee injury, he won't tell anyone. I was his first fan, I'm proud of the player I like, his skills are still there, his results are still there, and if you lose a game, do you think he's going to lose forever? I always believe that he will never let down the fans who love him. Finally, I will never apologize. ”

Su Qingjia finished speaking in one breath, "This song "Nirvana" is a World Cup departure song for him, thank you to the orchestra for giving me the opportunity to play this time." ”

The audience was silent for a long time, and the applause again startled away the birds in the forest.

Far away in South Africa, Oleg and Carlos watched the concert together.

"Seriously, I'm a little jealous of you." Oleg sighed with emotion. There are a lot of girls coming and going around him, blonde hair, sexy, but because of these, they all have only one name - "baby".

"It's useless to be jealous, you're too shabby." Carlos turned his face away and buried his slightly reddened eyes in the pillow.

After thinking for a moment, Carlos walked over to his computer and logged on to Twitter.

"I'll be waiting for you in South Africa."
