Chapter 43: Falling in Love
On Friday evening, Castle Peak Normal University held a piano concert for Qiu Yueyue, a lecturer in the Department of Music. Li Baosheng got an invitation ticket from Qiu Mingming, and asked Zhong Shan to watch it at night, and if he felt it, the two could continue to develop.
On Friday afternoon, Zhong Shan went to the barber shop to get his hair cut, changed into a black suit that he hadn't worn for a long time, and put on a blue striped tie, like a gentleman attending a grand party.
He came to the auditorium of Castle Peak Normal College fifteen minutes early and sat down in the designated position in the second row according to the seat number.
A tall lady in a white floor-length dress bowed deeply to the audience, then turned around and bowed deeply to the orchestra, and then, sitting in front of the grand piano, her fingers fell, and a song "Autumn Silk Language" filled the entire auditorium like a flowing cloud, and the orchestra cooperated perfectly. Qiu Yueyue in Zhong Shan's eyes is very much like his college classmate and his lover Fang Jing, who has been missing for many years, especially her silhouette. It's just that the straight hair turns into a big wavy curly hair. Next are famous songs such as "To Alice", "Dream Wedding", "Maiden's Prayer", and "Blue Danube".
After a ten-minute break at halftime, Qiu Yueyue changed into a black velvet dress, which reminded Zhong Shan of Fang Jing who danced with him at the bonfire party on the eve of leaving college. Qiu Yueyue also played "Destiny", "Romeo and Juliet", "Blue Love", "Pathos Sonata", "Liang Zhu" and other tracks.
Zhong Shan is completely immersed in the soft and sweet or sad situation created by the music, this woman who uses ten fingers to create such a graceful world on the stage is the goddess that Zhong Shan has been looking forward to for many years, so that he can still beat like an ignorant teenager even after the age of his establishment.
After the concert, the audience left one after another, but Zhong Shan did not leave his seat, but took out his mobile phone and dialed Qiu Yueyue's mobile phone according to the number provided by Li Baosheng. He guessed that she must be changing her clothes, so he sat down and waited patiently. Sure enough, less than ten minutes later, the other party's phone was dialed back. Zhong Shan was a little excited, and he spoke a little incoherently: "Teacher Qiu, congratulations on the success of tonight's piano recital!" Oh, I'm Zhong Shan of Aoyama Daily. If you don't mind, I mean, if you don't have any other arrangements, can I treat you to a coffee? ”
Qiu Yueyue happily agreed.
Zhong Shan waited for Qiu Yueyue at the door of the auditorium, and she had already changed into a set of denim clothes, and her hair was tied up with a ponytail, which was very different from Fang Jing's style.
The autumn breeze is blowing and the air is filled with the sweet aroma of fruit, which is exactly the time of year when the city's specialty, Nanguo pear, is on the market.
The two went to the Ueshima Cafe at the school gate and sat down and ordered a cup of coffee each. Zhong Shan asked Qiu Yueyue if she had dinner, and Qiu Yueyue said that she had eaten, but after a concert, she was a little hungry. Zhong Shan ordered another set of fried steaks and sandwiches for her. Qiu Yueyue is not as slow and reserved as Fang Jing, but like she plays the piano, her ten fingers are smart, like flowing water, which is another kind of feeling.
Leaving the café, Qiu Yueyue said that she was a little tired and could take a walk outside. The two walked side by side to the large playground on the campus of Castle Peak Normal University. When the moon is in the sky, Zhongshan seems to have returned to the university campus more than ten years ago.
The theme of the conversation was piano music, from Beethoven to Mozart, from Schubert to Bach, Chopin and Mendelssohn...... And, of course, Richard Clayderman who is now known and loved by Chinese. Zhong Shan said that he learned to play and sing the guitar when he was a child, and he hadn't touched it for many years. Qiu Yueyue said happily, if you bring it one day, let's have a guitar and piano concerto, it must have a unique flavor.
The two also talked about their respective family affairs in the end. Qiu Yueyue is very simple, her father is a pediatrician, her mother is a middle school music teacher, and they are two sisters, one inherits her father's career, and the other fulfills her mother's long-cherished wish.
They talked about their affairs again. Zhong Shan talked about his first love with Lin Meihui in high school, his breakup with Fang Jing after graduating from college, and Lin Meihui's empathy. Qiu Yueyue said that she fell in love with her piano teacher when she was a graduate student, and she was crazy in love and couldn't extricate herself, it was a terrible unrequited love, and she had nothing to do with the teacher. Because she has only pretended to be a teacher in her heart all these years, she has never looked sideways at other boys, let alone be tempted. This time, her sister took out the report written by Zhong Shancai, and she suddenly became curious about the profession of a journalist, so she agreed to meet him.
The more the two talked, the more they talked, the more they fell in love, and when they got tired, they sat in the stands of the playground and continued to talk. In the second half of the night, the night was heavy and a little cold, and the two people snuggled tightly together until the morning star rose and the dawn broke in the east.
