When Dick returned, the first show had already begun, and he sat down beside his mother. I don't know if it's because the light is too dim, Viagra felt that Dick's face was not very good, so she didn't talk to him.

A chorus is being performed on the stage, a dozen or so of the church's faithful singing hymns, and it is also a must-have program every year.

The women, dressed in traditional off-white dresses, and the men in black breeches and black yarkes, stood across each other, already memorizing the lyrics by heart, facing the audience with no lyrics in their hands, looking very engaged.

The first time Wei Ya saw this kind of rural performance, in her previous life, as Zhao Lan, she had attended many performances with her parents and teachers before she got sick, and those performances were all held in the magnificent 10,000-person concert hall or the national theater, the performers were all famous musicians, and the status of the audience was not ordinary. Compared with the small square show at the moment, it should be the difference between the spring and snow and the lower riba people.

But Via watched it with relish, she felt that these down-to-earth performances were not much worse than those noble and glamorous concerts, and the New Year was not just about everyone sitting together happily and having a good time.

The fifth program is a pantomime, and after the performance, it is Vanessa's turn to play the piano solo.

Chris, who is not good-looking, is quite capable, and also works as a newspaper, and he takes the microphone and says offstage, "I'm going to have a flower in our town, Miss Dale," Dale is Vanessa's last name.

Hearing this, Wei Ya really couldn't help laughing, covering her mouth with her hands, and her shoulders couldn't help shaking.

It turns out that Vanessa still has such a chic name, "a flower", why not simply call it "town flower". Via thinks that Chris is flattering Vanessa so much, he is slapping Mayor Warnard's ass, after all, he is a small civil servant who has to work under the mayor.

"Lilia had better let her daughter go to a beauty pageant so that the whole world could see her beauty," the gentle Manina said with rare sarcasm.

But Vanessa tonight is beautiful. She wore a floor-length black velvet skirt with a tight waist that showed her thin waist and long legs, and the black color matched her skin. She wore her hair tucked back to reveal a smooth forehead, her dark eyeshadow eyes were mysterious and delicate, and she wore a black pearl necklace around her neck.

Dick sighed, "Dressed so exaggeratedly, did she think she was attending a state dinner?" ”

Viagra also felt that Vanessa was a little too forceful, and her dress was enough to go to Vienna/Gold/Color/Large/Hall piano solo.

Where did they understand Vanessa's mind of "a woman who pleases herself", and when it was determined that Kailan was coming, Vanessa began to prepare for today's stunning appearance.

Just now, she touched up her makeup offstage, which was bound to take away Kailan's heart.

However, it was precisely because of Kailan's presence that Vanessa felt more nervous than ever, her palms were full of sweat, you must know that the outside temperature was below zero at this time, and she was only wearing a skirt.

She walked straight to the piano and sat down, and Lilia immediately turned on the camera function of her phone and pointed it at her daughter.

Vanessa's performance of Mozart's Fantasia in D minor is not difficult, but it is not easy to play brilliantly, and the most basic requirement is that the player must be in one mind.

It's a pity that Vanessa's heart is all about Kailan, what piano, what performance, all for Kailan, so she plays plainly, and in the back, the audience is distracted, some whisper chatting, and some play with mobile phones.

Vanessa was too eager to achieve quick success, ignoring a very important thing - Kailan can also play the piano, which is a compulsory course for the children of the Hills family since childhood, of course, Kailan's piano level is not for the time being, but he still has the ability to appreciate music.

Vanessa really shot herself in the foot, but even so, Kailan listened carefully to the whole song, and gave Vanessa applause and encouragement when the curtain call.

This gave Vanessa the illusion that she thought her piano had succeeded in capturing him.

Vanessa stepped off the stage on the front foot, and Veya and Dick went backstage on the back foot, and the three of them happened to bump into each other. Vanessa ignored Via, and Via ignored her.

Dick naturally didn't care about the dark tide surging among the girls, and went directly to the musical instrument area to get his guitar.

In less than half a minute, he was scolding, "Who the hell touched my guitar?" ”

The whole backstage heard it, and Dick really startled the others, but luckily the sound of the front desk was loud enough to drown out his voice.

Via hurriedly walked over to see the situation, while Vanessa stood in place, looking at her hurried back with her arms crossed, and snorted coldly.

Dick held the guitar in one hand and tugged at the strings in the other, and he looked down, unable to see clearly, but trembling with anger.

Via asked anxiously, "What's wrong?" ”

Dick looked up at her, his brown eyes turned red.

Via was even more anxious, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Dick slowly let go of his hand.

The six strings suddenly flicked softly to the sides,

Via looked at the severed strings in amazement, and after a few seconds, as if realizing something, she immediately turned to look for Vanessa, but Vanessa was already gone.

"I'm sorry," Dick's voice was guilty, with a hint of remorse.

Via immediately guessed that the culprit was Vanessa, but Dick first thought of Laura.

Laura is Dick's first love, and he used to have a deep affection for her.

After Laura transferred to Elon Middle School, the connection between Dick and her was not broken, Laura lived in the school, and Dick skipped class to find her in Brienz and waited for her downstairs in the dormitory.

Once, Dick was seen by Elon High School's dormitory administrator, who scolded him and warned him, and he and Laura decided to make a date at the boathouse in the town of Brienz.

As mentioned earlier, the town of Brienz is located on Lake Brienz, and there are many private boats moored along the lake, and there is a unified boathouse for the storage of these boats.

The boathouse is rarely visited, the privacy is good, and it is floating in the lake, it is very romantic, and there is a kind of pleasure of cheating. Soon, the boathouse became a weekly meeting place for the two.

However, Dick skipped class that Friday afternoon and came to the boathouse as usual, waiting for Laura. This time the wait was all night, and Laura didn't come, and she didn't answer his calls.

He was worried, thinking that something had happened to Laura, but the next day, his friend sent him a photo on his phone, which was an intimate photo of Laura and a boy.

He realized that Laura had already split his legs behind his back, and they broke up after that.

But Dick had been haunted by Laura's boathouse for a long time as to why she hadn't come that night, so when Laura brought it up again, he might have been a ghost.

Laura had just dragged him into the grove outside the square, and told him many memories of their past together, but never mentioned the boathouse.

In fact, Dick had already sensed that something was wrong and was about to leave.

But Laura put her arms around him from behind,

"I still love you, let's make amend."

If it was just a breakup, Dick might have relented and agreed, but now Dick only has a strong dislike for Laura, and he does not hesitate to tear Laura away and return to the audience. That's why his face was ugly at the time.

Dick also understood at this moment, what still loves you, hypocritical words are simply a trap laid by Laura on him, in order to lure him away, he started to play on the guitar, without accompaniment, Via could not perform.

As for the mastermind behind the scenes, who else could it be besides Laura's cousin Vanessa?

Dick was so angry that he put down his guitar and turned to settle accounts with Vanessa and Laura.

Wei Ya hurriedly grabbed his arm, for fear that he would be impulsive, "It's okay, I can still sing." ”

"Do you want to sing a cappella?"

"Isn't there a piano on stage? I'm going to play the piano. ”

Dick incredulous, "Can you play the piano?" ”

Via nodded.

Dick calmed down, but didn't ask how Via learned to play the piano under the pressure of an old witch, he felt that the girl in front of him seemed to have a lot of secrets, and when faced with a desperate situation, she always had an unexpected way to resolve it.

At this time, Chris heard the voice,

"What's going on?" He asked the two.

Dick pointed to his guitar and scoffed, "See for yourself." ”

"This," Chris was also taken aback, "how could this happen." ”

"Then I'll have to ask your boss," Dick didn't finish when his hand was tugged at by Via.

They have no evidence that Vanessa did it and can't talk nonsense.

Via said politely to Chris, "We need to change the program and change the guitar accompaniment to the piano accompaniment." ”

Chris subconsciously said, "How can Dick play the piano?" ”

"No, I'm going to play it."

Chris was also stunned.

Vanessa probably never dreamed that Via could also play the piano.

It's really clever but clever and mistaken by cleverness.

At the end of the seventh program, Chris announced, "Next is the program from the village of Feltmorgan, and Miss Levitt will play and sing for us." ”

The villagers of Fürth Morgen, who knew that Via was going to perform a show, thought that Chris had made a mistake, didn't he say that Dick was accompanied by guitar, and Via sang, where did he get the piano? They have been waiting for so long, and what they are most looking forward to is this show.

Everyone only saw Wei Ya walking on stage alone.

Via walked to the middle of the stage first, facing the men and women, young and old of the town, her gaze squinting over all the familiar people, neighbors, friends, classmates, and teachers, who smiled encouragingly or waved at her.

Eventually, her gaze stopped at the edge on the far right, and she saw Theo, who was standing there, his slender figure half obscured by the shadows, and a faint smile on his face as he met her gaze.

His smile magically made Wei Ya feel at ease, as if there was infinite strength in his body, he was her reassurance, as long as he was there, there was nothing to fear and be nervous.

"Hello everyone, my name is Via, and I'm glad to be here for tonight's New Year's show, this show was originally a collaboration between me and my brother Dick, but for some reason, he couldn't perform, and now I'm going to sing a song I wrote myself, called "Flying Birds."

As soon as the words fell, everyone immediately discussed.

The villagers of Fültmorgen looked at each other, what had happened, why didn't Dick perform?

John was very angry and reprimanded Dick, "This kid actually carried the burden halfway, it's just nonsense, what did he ask Weiya to do, is it a cappella?" ”

Because it wasn't the first time Dick had done such a thing, he had also left halfway through the New Year's show the year before last.

Ma Nina was worried, "The two children shouldn't have an awkward quarrel again." ”

Vanessa looked at the girl standing alone on the stage, not to mention how happy she was, and she still looked at Kailan beside her from time to time, the worse Via's performance, the more she could bring out her excellence.

Laura, who was sitting in the back row of Vanessa, had been fidgeting, her eyes constantly wandering around, but she couldn't see Dick.

In the midst of the noise, only two people were the quietest. Theo stared at Via, his gaze gentle, like a tree in the sky, always tolerating her and believing in her.

And Kellan looked at the piano that no one cared about, and probably understood what Viya was going to do, and there was not only expectation but also appreciation in his eyes, and he really wanted to listen to the song of that day again.

Wei Ya didn't explain anything anymore, raised her hands and saluted the audience first, with a light smile on the corner of her mouth, her demeanor was down-to-earth and generous, neither humble nor arrogant, like a real lady.

The audience paused for a moment, and then burst into applause, with Via being the only performer to receive applause from the audience behind the scenes of Chris's report.

Then she turned and walked to the piano.

And sure enough,

Kellan curled his lips,

Vanessa's face changed.

Impossible, impossible, this village girl can't play the piano, she must be pretending to be a showman, isn't it a shame?

To this day, Vanessa is still comforting herself, and all she can do is comfort herself.

Viagra fixed the microphone and sat down in front of the piano, smoothing the folds on her skirt with both hands, and then gently resting on the keyboard, with the grace of her gestures that was not lost to Kailan.

People involuntarily quieted down and waited intently.

Manina and John held their breath and couldn't even think about why Via was playing.

The melody poured out of her fingertips, everyone was calm, and beautiful songs often could be soft at the beginning.

The melody gradually slowed down, and Via's voice began: "If I am a bird, he is the sun, warming my wings, if I am a cow or sheep, he is the green grass, stretching into the distance, if I am a butterfly, he is a flower, fragrant." If I get lost in the forest, he is the wind, guiding me in the direction of my home. Even if one day there are no stars, the sky is dark, and I am lonely, he is still not far ahead. ”

The heartstring melody echoed over the square again and again, and some people in the town who didn't come to see the show opened their windows to listen to the song that seemed to fall from the sky, and they wondered if this was still the same New Year's show.

It was not the first time that some of the people present had heard Viya sing this song, but they were still moved by Viya's singing, because her singing has a kind of magic that can turn a cold winter into a beautiful summer in the blink of an eye, with large trees and wild flowers all over the mountains.

The heart was warm and full, and everyone couldn't help but smile along with her singing.

Jenny pointed to the girl on the stage and said to her parents and brother, "You know, I was trapped in the mountains at that time, and it was Via's singing that kept me going. ”

Many people take out their mobile phones to record the sound and listen to it to their relatives and friends.

The piano suddenly rose to a key, and Via's voice was a little higher, "Even if one day there are no stars, the sky is dark, and I am alone, he is still not far ahead." ”

Her eyes were closed, her long neck curled gracefully, her fingers playing the keyboard faster, and the ending tune crossed smoothly across the heart's tip.

At the end of the song, there was silence.

Some people usually don't show the mountains and waters, but their efforts can shock the four.

Via's smiling face seemed to glow as if it were glowing, not only beautiful, but also touching, and she knew whose eyes and hearts were melted by her smile.

In the long-lasting applause of the audience, Wei Ya pulled up the hem of her skirt and bent down to thank her, she looked down and quietly looked in Theo's direction, winking at him, a little naughty, very cute.

Theo looked at her and smiled.

Most of the audience was still immersed in Fang Cai's singing, unable to come back to their senses, so they didn't notice the small movements of Via and Theo.

Only Kailan followed Via's line of sight and saw the man standing outside the crowd.

He stood up suddenly, startled Vanessa, and she asked in a panic,

"Where are you going?"

Kailan looked at her with a smirk, "Are you responsible for my trip?" For the first time, his disdain for Vanessa was revealed, no matter how gentlemanly he looked, it couldn't change the arrogance of Kailan in his bones, he was the young master of the Hills family, what qualifications did Vanessa have to control him to stay or go?

Vanessa's face turned pale as she watched as Kellan walked backstage.

Helpless, Vanessa grabbed Lilia's hand and asked in a tone of urgency, "Mom, am I okay tonight?" ”

Lilia is very embarrassed, she loves her daughter and is proud of her daughter, but she can't deny that Via is much better than Vanessa tonight, just Via's piano level is far better than Vanessa, how to talk about her singing voice that seems to be seductive?

Lilia's silence was the answer, Vanessa slumped in her chair, she knew she was making a fool of herself, she just didn't want to admit that she had calculated everything, but she still made Viya stand out and attracted all of Kailan's attention.

She spent so much effort for Kailan, just because she was worried that Via's saving would ruin her good deeds, and even did not hesitate to move her cousin and cousin to help her, and in the end she made a wedding dress for her.

I want to fight for the best girl in everything, and I finally understand what it feels like to be defeated.

Chris was shocked by Via's performance, and was stunned for a long time before continuing to announce the curtain.

At the beginning of the next show, the audience was a little absent-minded.

Dick sat in the corner of the backstage and listened to the whole piece, and Via's singing was very good, and he sang very well without him, and he felt a sense of loss in his heart.

A man stood in front of him, not only blocking the light in front of him, but also laughing.

"What are you laughing at?" Dick looked up at Via, his tone depressed.

"Laugh at you like a turtle, shrink here, when did my wise and martial brother become so useless, and he will languish at a little thing," Wei Ya still smiled, his eyes sly, "If you especially want to accompany me, this time it won't work, and next time, next time." ”

Dick was already angry with himself, but when Via gaged, he could only laugh and say stiffly, "Who said I especially wanted to accompany you?" ”

"Oh, then why be sullen? Isn't it just that the guitar is broken, you can fix it, you can buy it again? ”

Listening to Via's words, Dick's eyes flashed with a glimmer of light.

He looked down at the guitar lying on the ground, suddenly picked up the guitar, got up,

"Yes, you're right."

With that, he turned and ran outside.

Via was confused, what did she say?

Is he going to fix the guitar now?

Wei Ya didn't have time to think about it, and suddenly a nice voice sounded behind her.

"Hello."

Viata turned around, and Kailan stood behind her, looking at her with a smile, and when she saw the boy again, she was still amazed in an instant, he was like a luminous body, making this humble place shine as well.

"You won't see me turn around and run away this time."

Via was stunned for a moment.

Kellan approached her, looked down at her, saw her reddish eartips and fluttering eyelashes, and chuckled, "Am I a monster that scares you so much?" ”

Via subconsciously looked at the exit, but didn't see Vanessa, she felt strange and asked him,

"Why are you here?"

"I'm here to cheer you on, maybe I should bring a bouquet of flowers."

How could it be her? Didn't he come to see Vanessa?

Kailan saw Via's doubts, he wouldn't tell her, he never forgot her singing, he thought he would see her again at the grade dance, but she didn't show up until the dance was over. For the first time in his life, Kellan tasted a sense of loss.

As time passed, and Kellan thought he had forgotten about the girl, and Vanessa made a phone call to remind him of her again. He thought that since it was the town's New Year's show, she sang so well that she would definitely participate, and he saw her again as he wished.

"Can I know your name?" He asked knowingly.

"My name is Via," Viya didn't know that Vanessa had told Kellan her name.

"Via, French name, so you are French," Carran changed to French the next moment, and said to her, "Coincidentally, I am French, or the language of my own country is more cordial." ”

Via hadn't spoken French in a while, and she spoke German in the village, at school, and even with Theo, which was probably why she got an A in her German class.

She also replied in French, "Why didn't you come home during winter vacation?" ”

"I'm on vacation in Zermatt."

"Zermatt is a little far from here."

Kailan smiled, the clever girl, who reacted so quickly, began to trick his words, and he said truthfully, "Vanessa invited me over." ”

Via asked cautiously, "Are you Vanessa's boyfriend?" ”

Kellan shook his head.

"Her friend?"

Kellan still shook his head.

"Then do you know she's pursuing you?" Via asked bluntly.

No girl had ever dared to speak to him so bluntly, and a hint of surprise crossed the eyes of the boy, who was accustomed to aristocratic reserved and reserved bearing, and he said, "I know. ”

"Then have you considered that you came to me backstage and would cause me trouble, Vanessa has already looked at me unpleasantly."

Kailan asked, "Are you afraid of her?" ”

"Of course I'm not afraid of her."

Via blurted out and met Kailan's smiling eyes, "So what does it have to do with me when I came to you?" I appreciate your singing voice and want to make friends with you, that's all. ”

Kailan's tone was sincere and had a demeanor beyond his years, which made it impossible for Viya to refuse. A girl as simple as a blank sheet of paper is helpless when she encounters a child of a family like Kailan.

Kailan took out her phone number and asked her to save his phone number as well, "Why don't you go skiing in Zermatt with me, the snow is just right now." ”

"But I don't know how to ski," at the mention of snow, Via snorted and subconsciously folded her arms, she was still wearing a blue gown, her down jacket was on the seat, and the wind was blowing in the backstage, giving her goosebumps.

"I'll go find a down jacket," she could say, when a coat with body temperature was draped over her, and she seemed to smell the boy's peculiar perfume.

"I was negligent," Kellan's voice was in her ear, his hand still resting on her shoulder.

Via's movement moved uncomfortably, "I have clothes for that." ”

Kellan chuckled, "I see you seem to be a little scared of me. ”

"Nope,"

Viagra immediately looked up to defend herself, but the headband on the back of her head accidentally hooked the metal buttons on Kailan's cuffs, and her long black hair instantly spread to her shoulders.

Without waiting for her to react, Kellan ruffled her hair, "Your hair is so beautiful," his voice almost whispered, with a gorgeous tact.

His movements were a little ambiguous, and Via's face quietly turned red.

She avoided his hand and kept her distance from him, "Thank you for your clothes, my family is still waiting for me, I have to go out, it's nice to meet you, goodbye." ”

She finished speaking in one breath and ran out quickly.

Kellan looked at her back as she fled again, and smiled against her lips.

Looking down, he saw the blue headband wrapped around the buttons of the cuffs, and he carefully untied the band, spread it in the palm of his hand, and held it tightly.

Viata returned to her seat, and immediately took off Kailan's coat and changed into her own down jacket, completely unaware of a face distorted and distorted by jealousy not far away, staring at her,

Manina and John didn't care what coat Viata was wearing. They were now in a state of being happy to keep their mouths together, and in such a short period of time, many people who were not familiar with them came to take the initiative to talk to them, and they did not leave Via. They Quavia sang well, and even she sang better than the singers, and the couple was a little fluttery.

So they don't have time to care about their sons.

"Where's Dick?"

Via looked around, and since she didn't see Dick, she didn't see Theo.
