"Can't see the notes?" Jason anxiously asked, "Do you usually know all the scores?" ”

"No ......" Jingzhi said in a very regretful tone, "When I usually practice the piano, I always watch the music and bullets, and I can't reach the level of blind playing." After all, I was just a schoolboy at the time......"

"That'......" Jason echoed simply.

Jingzhi takes a deep breath and begins to tell the climax of the story.

"At that time, I was terrified to see that my score was blurry. I shuddered and pulled the sheet music out of my bag, not knowing what to do. After speaking, Jingzhi took a sip of lemonade and breathed a sigh of relief.

Jason took a sip of tea as well, trying to ease his tense nerves. With a puzzled tone, he asked, "At that time, didn't anyone on the organizer side of the competition help you find a new sheet music?" ”

"No ......," Jingzhi shook her head, "The organizers allow the contestants to bring their scores to the stage to play. However, they do not provide sheet music. Therefore, the contestants prepare their own scores. ”

"And ...... you," Jason said, with a confused expression, "did you finally perform on stage?" ”

"To be honest, I was very frustrated when I saw the sheet music soaked in the rain, and for a moment, I didn't know what to do. However, I didn't think about giving up. As she spoke, Jingzhi looked at Jason with very firm eyes, "Since I have worked hard for so long, although the last kick at the door is not the same as I imagined, I have never thought of giving up." ”

Hearing Jingzhi say this very calmly, Jason gave a thumbs up to his right hand and exclaimed, "Well, that's good! ”

Seeing Jason's eyes full of admiration, the fire in Jingzhi's heart burned again. This time, she didn't have time to drink water to suppress her shock, and a shy expression appeared on her face.

It is a kind of shyness that has been passed down from generation to generation by Han girls for thousands of years; It is when they are praised by the man they like, and the Han girls are unique, a kind of elegant demeanor that is silent because they are immersed in the joy of their hearts.

Jason saw that Jingzhi was stunned and didn't speak, so he had to continue to ask, "And then?" How did your performance end? ”

"I ......," Jingzhi took a deep breath and continued, "I didn't bring sheet music with me when I went on stage. ”

"Oh? Blind bullets? There was surprise in Jason's words, but he didn't speak loudly enough to be easily heard.

"yes, blind bullet." Jingzhi nodded, "I thought, most of this score is not clear. Even if I bring such a score to the stage, it doesn't make much sense, and it is better to rely directly on my own memory to play blindly. ”

After listening to Jingzhi's words, Jason couldn't help but sigh: "Memory is a good thing. At critical times, the most reliable things are only those things that are hidden in the deepest memories and make us unforgettable for a lifetime......"

"We were all backstage, sitting on little benches, waiting to play.

The host announces the name and repertoire of the next contestant on stage, and soon a child stands up and walks into the performance hall in fear, walks onto the stage, and sits down on the piano bench.

Next, a special staff member will come over and adjust the height of the piano bench so that the children on the stage can sit comfortably on the piano bench and play.

It won't be long before a new solo piano piece is heard in the auditorium.

At the end of each piece, there would be thunderous applause in the performance hall, which scared the children waiting backstage. ”

"Haha," Jason smiled faintly, "Did you hear such a warm applause that made you kids sitting backstage nervous?" ”

"Probably, others may be nervous. However, I am already 'a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water', but it doesn't matter at all. ”

"Oh? Such a stable mentality? Jason smiled again, "It's a shame that you don't have such a good attitude and aren't a pianist!" ”

Hearing Jason's sigh, Jingzhi shook her head lightly and said, "Don't worry...... Here's what I'm going to tell you that will dispel you completely! ”

"Really?" Jason looked incredulous, "Then I'll have to listen to it." ”

"The children who sat backstage and waited for the audience to leave one by one. The lounge was also getting quieter.

In the end, it was just me and a boy.

The boy was white, tall and thin, and looked less like a schoolboy and more like an "immature adult".

The repertoire he played was ......"

When Jingzhi said this, Jason hurriedly interrupted him and said, "Wait a minute! Let me guess what tunes he plays. ”

"Okay," Jingzhi was also interested, stretching out the three fingers of her right hand, "to give you three chances." ”

"Beethoven's To Alice?" Jason guessed once.

"No...... Jingzhi shook her head, "There are two more chances......

"Mozart's Little Star Variations?" Jason guessed a second time.

"No......" Jingzhi continued to shake her head, "There's one last chance left......

"The Turkish March?" Jason blurted out his last hope.

"......" Jingzhi shook her head helplessly and said, "Actually, the answer is very simple, that song, I have mentioned it a long time ago. ”

"......" Jason was stunned for a few seconds, and finally gently spat out a few words from his mouth, "Less...... Woman...... Target...... Pray...... Prayer ......"

"......" Jingzhi didn't speak, but nodded her head a few times hard.

"......" Jason was stunned for two seconds, then immediately came back to his senses and asked excitedly, "Didn't you borrow the score from him?" ”

Jingzhi shook her head and continued to tell her story.

"I don't know if the organizer found out that the two of us played the same song, so they deliberately arranged us together.

To be honest, I was backstage and I was very happy to hear him playing the same tune as mine, thinking that when he got off stage, maybe I could borrow his score.

Thinking of this, I began to be a little nervous, thinking in my heart that when he got off the stage and returned to the lounge, I would ask him to borrow it.

It didn't take long for me to hear very loud applause and know that he was about to step down.

I got up from the small bench and ran to the door of the lounge.

When I saw him, my heart was cold. ”

"How?" Jason's tone became a little nervous, "He won't lend you?" ”

"It's not!" Jingzhi also became a little excited, "He didn't bring the score!" He was blind just now! ”

"......" Jason fell into his chair and was silent.

Jingzhi saw Jason's "calm and calm" expression, so she had to finish the story.

"When I saw him walk off the stage empty-handed, I didn't have time to sigh at his memory and performance level, so I heard the beautiful aunt on the stage announce my name, and specially told everyone that my repertoire was the same as his, and it was also "The Girl's Prayer", so everyone could wait and see.

I walked up to the stage alone, like a prisoner about to be executed.

My uncle on the stage helped me raise the piano bench a lot so that I could sit comfortably on it.

When my uncle stepped down, I sat alone on the piano bench and listened to my uncle's footsteps as if I were listening to a death knell.

There was silence in the performance hall, I couldn't hear anything, I didn't want to hear anything.

I put my hands on the keys and began to press the chords at the beginning of the piece.

I remember the opening chord very clearly, and it was played exactly how well it was played, which dazzled the eyes of all the audience present. Everyone thought it was going to be a very good performance.

However, after the chord ended, I didn't remember the main melody of my right hand very clearly, and when I was on stage, I was overly nervous, and I played the originally smooth melody intermittently, which made the audience show shocked expressions.

It took me more than ten minutes to finish the song, which was originally a few minutes long.

When I got off the stage, I felt the audience cast strange stares at me.

I didn't have time to be upset, I just bowed and hurried off the stage. ”

"It's dramatic...... it does," Jason exclaimed.

Jingzhi said with a regretful tone: "In the end, the boy who performed in front of me won the grand prize...... Everyone praised him, saying that he was very talented in music, and that he was a primary school student, and that he could play the world-famous song "A Girl's Prayer" so movingly, which is really promising......"

"Haha......" Jason said with a helpless smile, "there are really people outside the world, and there are ...... people outside the sky."

"Do you know what they say about my performance?" After speaking, Jingzhi picked up the glass on the table and drank the remaining lemonade inside.

She took the cup in her hand and said indignantly: "They said that the "Maiden's Prayer" I played should be renamed "The Old Lady's Beggar", which is intermittent and does not form a melody......"

"The Old Lady's Begging?" Jason shrugged, "Interesting, that's a pretty creative name......"
