Chapter 34: The Shining Star
In the evening, Su Menglan and Lu Zimo went to a hot pot restaurant near the hotel for dinner.
When the two walked out of the hotel, they saw the uncle who managed the flower bed looking at something and looked embarrassed.
Su Menglan's eyes flashed with doubts, he raised his feet and walked next to the uncle, and saw a brand-new violin alone on the flower bed, and his heart was even more puzzled: "Uncle, how can there be a violin here?" It doesn't look like it was thrown away because it was broken. ”
The uncle heard a pleasant female voice beside him, looked up at her, and said with the same doubt: "I don't know, I have never seen a violin when I come here to repair the flower bed, but I only came here today and saw a violin here, and I don't know who put it here." How expensive a violin is, it's such a waste. ”
Su Menglan nodded in agreement, turned his head to look at Lu Zimo, and inadvertently caught his unnatural expression flashing. Su Menglan thought that Lu Zimo also felt that this kind of practice was too wasteful, so he didn't take it to heart.
She looked at Lu Zimo and said, "I don't know who doesn't care about the violin so much, it's a pity that this violin was thrown down like this." ”
Lu Zimo lowered his eyes and said, "It's also possible that the owner inadvertently left the violin here, maybe I'll come back to pick it up later." Let's go, don't delay the uncle's work. ”
Su Menglan said in a low voice, "I hope", and left with Lu Zimo.
In the dead of night, a figure wearing a black sweatshirt and a black baseball cap appeared by the flower bed, picked up the violin and turned back to the hotel when no one was around. After the moonlight shone on his face, he saw his face clearly, and it was Lu Zimo.

On the day of the competition, the backstage players and hosts of the concert hall were in full swing to prepare.
Su Menglan was dressed in a silver-white knee-length dress, stepping on a pair of high-heeled shoes of the same color, combing her delicate ball head, and slightly wearing light makeup on her face, which added a bit of beauty and charm to her. The whole person is like a fairy who has strayed into the mortal world, attracting people's attention.
At this time, she sat quietly in her chair, gently wiping the violin in her hand, her eyes were full of tenderness, as if the hustle and bustle around her had nothing to do with her, only immersed in her own world.
Not far away, Lu Zimo, who is also immersed in his own world, is also immersed in his own world. He ditched all the clutter around him, and all he could see was the girl not far away who was intently wiping her violin.
He knew very well that the beautiful woman was not only looking at the violin at this time, but she was probably still thinking about a boy in her heart, but that boy was not him. Lu Zimo's eyes were full of bitterness and sourness, and his slightly lowered eyes added a bit of melancholy and mystery to him, who was already wearing a black suit, and the whole person was like a legendary melancholy prince, which also attracted the attention of many people.
After a while, the "Gold and Silver Cup" violin selection competition officially began. After the host finished his high-pitched and passionate opening remarks, he kicked off the game.
The lights kept changing with the different tunes played by different contestants, and bursts of applause and the judges' comments continued to be transmitted to the backstage, and Su Menglan was a little nervous. She quietly wiped the sweat from her palms, took a deep breath, and slowly relaxed herself.
Time gradually passed, and it was Su Menglan's turn to play.
After the host announced the curtain, Su Menglan held the violin in his hand and walked to the center of the stage with elegant steps. After bowing to the judges' box and the audience, she slowly placed the bow on the strings and pulled out the notes with the accompaniment.
In an instant, the beautiful and soothing melody of "Swan Lake" echoes through the hall, the notes are smooth and rhythmic, the connection is natural and compact, and the emotions pour out naturally and in place, and the whole piece can be called a seamless performance.
The soft light hit Su Menglan's body, adding a bit of hazy feeling to it, and the whole person was smart but quiet, only focusing on the world of music, which made people slow down their breathing, for fear of disturbing the people in the center of the stage.
After finishing the song, Su Menglan slowly put down the violin and bowed elegantly to the audience again. The audience was silent for a few seconds, and suddenly there was a thunderous applause, and the audience wanted to express their love for this piece and the person who played it.
The judges couldn't stop nodding and applauding, and their eyes were full of appreciation. One of the judges joked, "You don't need our review, do you?" I think the applause from the audience is the best comment on you. ”
Su Menglan relaxed herself and smiled with relief. That bright smile bloomed on her delicate face, making her whole person shine like a star.
There is no doubt that at this time, Su Menglan is the most eye-catching and shining star in the entire hall.
