Hung up the phone and ended the call with the principal, Duan Zi sighed helplessly, checked the location of the Sega Hotel with the map on his mobile phone, and found that it was quite far away from his side.

It's past three o'clock in the afternoon, and it seems just right to go there if you set off now.

Thinking of this, Duan Zilian stood up, took out his backpack, and stuffed a complete set of clothes and other things that might be needed into the backpack.

After making a series of preparations to go out, Duan Zilian walked out of the room with a backpack on his back, and saw that Luo Xinyan and Luo Lingling were not in the living room, so he gently knocked on the door of the room where they were.

After a while, the door opened.

"Something? Ready to go out? Luo Xinyan asked coldly, and glanced at Duan Zilian suspiciously, his dress was completely ready to go out.

Duan Zilian explained simply: "Well, tomorrow is the second competition of the piano competition, and the organizers plan to hold a small banquet tonight, including me, all the contestants in the city who can advance to the second competition will try to participate, so I won't come back tonight." ”

"Oh." Luo Xinyan responded indifferently. "Is there anything else going on then?"

"No, I'm just telling you." As he spoke, Duan Zilian's gaze crossed Luo Xinyan in front of him and glanced at Luo Lingling, who was sitting on the edge of the bed in the room.

"Try to get the first place and win back the 100,000 yuan prize." As if noticing Duan Zilian's gaze, Luo Lingling in the room suddenly spoke.

"Well, I'll try." Duan Zilian nodded seriously.

"Hmph." Luo Xinyan snorted coldly, and without saying a word, she closed the door directly, and the force of closing the door seemed to be a little strong, so that the closing sound was louder.

Duan Zipian scratched his head suspiciously, he could see that Luo Xinyan was a little unhappy, but he couldn't guess the reason why Luo Xinyan was unhappy.

"Is it the eldest aunt?" Duan Zilian guessed casually, then shook his head, ignored these things, carried his backpack, and went out directly.

"Home is far away from the subway station, if you take the bus, you have to change cars several times on the way, forget it, it's better to take a taxi, anyway, it's more expensive, and now it's not bad for a few dollars."

After deciding on the way to travel, Duan Zilian stood next to the highway and waited for a taxi.

After a while, a taxi with no passengers drove over, and Duan Zilian waved his hand at the taxi, but the taxi drove in front of Duan Zilian as if he didn't see it.

"Maybe I didn't see it."

Putting down his arm, Duan Zilian continued to wait.

Soon, another taxi drove over, Duan Zilian waved his hand again, but the taxi passed in front of Duan Zilian, and then stopped in front of a pair of young men and women behind Duan Zilian.

"Maybe they made an appointment." Duan Zi pouted helplessly.

A few minutes later, Duan Zilian saw another car coming from a distance.

It's just that the taxi didn't have the words "empty", and Duan Zilian didn't notice the situation immediately, and waved his hand habitually, and then noticed that there were already passengers in the taxi.

"There's already someone in the car, forget it, let's keep waiting." Putting down his arm, Duan Zi shook his head helplessly.

But as soon as he finished speaking, the taxi stopped in front of Duan Zilian, Duan Zilian saw a mother and son sitting in the car, and after the girl turned her head and said something to her mother, the mother who was sitting in the passenger seat nodded.

"Where to go?" The window rolled down, and the old driver asked him gently.

"Death at the Grand Hotel."

Looking at the old taxi driver in front of him, Duan Zilian answered his question.

"Sega Hotel, it's just the same road, let's get in the car." The taxi driver replied.

Hearing this, Duan Zilian was surprised, the mother and daughter in the car also died in the Jia Hotel?

There were doubts in his heart, but Duan Zilian didn't ask, but opened the door, got into the car, and sat in the back seat.

The driver drove the taxi towards his destination.

Duan Zilian put the backpack on her legs, and then turned her head to look at the girl who was sitting in the back row with her, who was of the same age, with a ponytail tied at the back of her head, and she looked pretty good.

It's just that this girl has a thin face and a pale face, which makes Duan Zilian think of Luo Lingling at once.

Just a simple glance, Duan Zilian noticed that the other party also looked over, so he immediately turned his head and looked at the scenery outside the window.

"Hey, are you a joker?" Looking at Duan Zilian curiously, the girl suddenly asked.

"Huh? Do you know me? Duan Zi was stunned for a moment, turned his head, and looked at the girl in surprise, making sure that he really didn't know her, but why could she call her name?

"I don't know, but I know you." Sure she hadn't mistaken someone, the girl laughed.

"Know me? Where did you hear about me? Duan Zilian was even more puzzled, a stranger knew his name, which was really confusing.

"It's on the official website of the piano competition, which contains the competition videos of various urban districts and counties during the district-level preliminary competition." The girl replied with a smile.

"Really?" The official website of the piano competition actually has competition videos in various urban districts and counties, Duan Zilian really didn't know about it, so he took out his mobile phone, opened the official website, and saw that there were indeed a video of the competition recording there, and the videos were divided according to the city and county.

Duan Zilian clicked on the video of the game in his city, and then dragged the progress bar directly forward, and after a short buffer, he saw his performance in the district-level preliminary round two weeks ago in the video.

Put the phone away, Duan Zilian glanced at the girl suspiciously, the other party knew through these videos, obviously paying attention to the official website of this piano competition, plus the other party also passed away at the Jiada Hotel, then, nine times out of ten, she is also a contestant.

As if she understood Duan Zilian's expression, the girl smiled and nodded: "That's right, I'm also a participant in that piano competition, and now, like you, I'm also going to the Sega Hotel to attend tonight's dinner." ”

"So, is it such a coincidence?" Although he had already guessed it, after listening to the girl say it, Duan Zilian couldn't help but be surprised.

After all, it's really too coincidental, Duan Zilian casually stopped a taxi, and he could meet a contestant like himself, this kind of small probability event was encountered, it was no different from buying a lottery ticket to win.

"yes, I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence, and before you got in the car, I was still wondering if it was you." The girl nodded, also surprised by the coincidental encounter.

After a pause, the girl continued: "I watched your game video, and your song "Bell" played really well, very powerful. ”

"It's nothing, I just decided to play this piece during the competition, so I practiced this piece a lot before the game, and practice makes perfect." Duan Zilian said modestly.

The girl continued: "But even so, it's very powerful, and if I don't have a long practice, I can't play that piece perfectly, and I can't do it anyway." Either way, you're one of the very strong contenders in this tournament. ”

Duan Zilian nodded, thinking that the other party knew herself, but she didn't know anything about her, so she lit up the phone screen and reopened the official website of the piano competition: "Which district are you?" Can I watch the video of your preliminary? ”

In this urban area, the contestants who can advance to the second competition at the municipal level are Duan Zilian, as well as Feng Hui of the third middle school, and girls from another school.

Although she didn't pay too much attention, Duan Zilian knew that this girl was not the girl who was promoted with her in the district, so the girl was from other districts.

Hearing Duan Zilian say that she wanted to watch her game video, the girl smiled happily: "Of course you can." My match was in the video of Xinghua District. At that time, I was playing "Sigh", but unfortunately, when I was playing, I didn't play it well, and there was a small mistake in the middle. ”

Duan Zilian was surprised again, you know, the song "Sigh" is also relatively difficult, to be able to play this song, and there is only one mistake on the way, it is obvious that the girl should not be an amateur.

However, Duan Zilian thought about it, it seems that this is also the case, in such a formal piano competition, the amateur students are basically brushed down in the district-level preliminary competition, and those who can be promoted should be more professional, and have studied the piano systematically for a long time, and even, many of them have learned the piano when they were young.

didn't think much about it, Duan Zilian clicked on the video, and directly accelerated the video playback, and when it was time for the girl, it returned to the normal playback speed.
