Chapter 607: Making a Choice
"I ...... I don't know. "From beginning to end, it's all one answer, I really don't know, I struggle.
In the end, I decided to go to the Golden Crystal Hotel before the concert with the letter in hand, and if only I could find some answers from there.
"Well, hello, I'm looking for Professor Strand Olvig." As soon as I entered the hotel door, I walked over to the counter and asked.
"Do you have an appointment?" The front desk lady asked.
Make an appointment, no, I shook my head, I don't have her contact information, how to make an appointment, "My name is Lin Moling, can you help me get in touch?" He should know about me. ”
"Oh, okay, please wait a minute," said the front desk lady began to call, and I walked to the seat in the dining area on the first floor and ordered a cup of lemon tea with a free cake, while enjoying afternoon tea while waiting, by the way, I used the hotel's Internet to find some concert Gu Xiao playing music.
As soon as I went online, a dialog box popped up, prompting that there was a new email, I was curious to click on it, it was an unfamiliar email, only one sentence:
Happy birthday, did you get a present?
Birthday? Gift? I squeezed the teacup and slammed into a daze, my birthday? It should be a little while, it's a little early, and, what a gift.
I hesitated, then replied: Who are you? My birthday is a few days away, did I send the wrong email? I didn't get any gifts.
"Ding Dong~" The other party quickly replied to the email:
I wish you a happy birthday in advance, and the gift will probably be received on your birthday, I hope you will like it.
I looked at the letter and frowned, the other party's answer was too familiar, as if it was an acquaintance around me, that person sent it to me anonymously? Then I replied to the email:
Thank you, but, who are you?
This time, the other party hesitated for a moment before emailing me back:
Your time is running out, so look forward to your eighteenth birthday!
I looked at the email, hesitated, and asked the question to myself:
Is it Jiang Wan? Or grandpa?
This reply came quickly:
No, we'll meet, let's look forward to that day.
Seeing the last sentence, I closed the computer a little helplessly, and gave up asking questions, this person has been avoiding the most critical question from the beginning, that is, his identity, if I say that I will see sooner or later, I don't need to keep asking, long hair. I was about to do something, when suddenly a huge shadow came over, and I looked up at the black shadow in a bit of a daze, it was a somewhat stout Western man, about forty or fifty years old, with a gray beard and a small pair of glasses on the bridge of his nose. He looked at me happily, looking like a kind old man.
"You are Lin Moling," he asked happily, I never thought that a foreigner could speak Chinese so well.
I quickly got up and bowed to Professor Olvig! "Hello, I'm Lin Moling, and you're Strand. Professor Olvig. ”
"Hello, hello." Professor Olvig hurriedly grasped the little white paw and said, sitting down across from me, "Whatever you want, I'll have a treat." ”
I sat back too! "No need, just eat a little bit of afternoon tea, I came to ask, why did you choose me? I have not been studying music theory for a long time, and there are many people who are more qualified and powerful than me, why did you choose me? With that, I pulled out the invitation letter.
"Oh, it looks like it's been received." Olvig looked at me with a smile! "So, is there anything else to ask?"
"That is, why did the professor choose me? With my grades, it was simply not enough to meet the admission criteria for going to Hailuo IELTS. "My expression is very serious" Also, don't you think the conditions you offer are too fake? No matter how you look at it, it looks like a cult organization trying to trick me into joining the Church! "The conditions on the invitation are really generous, such as a scholarship of 10,000 francs a year that makes people cry and faint in the toilet, and for example, the exemption from foreign language courses, which has so many benefits that I wonder if this is a letter written by Ann Mi to trick me.
"Hahaha!" Unexpectedly, Professor Olweig suddenly laughed, "Those are all facts, but there are also prerequisites, such as scholarships, and only if the grades are kept at a relatively high level every year will you be eligible for the scholarship." ”
I'm in the dark, so I still have to rely on my own efforts, and if I fail that exam, I won't be finished. "Can you give me a reason? One of the reasons why you must go to Herox IELTS. ”
"Forehead......" In the face of my questioning, Professor Olvig was not annoyed, he thought hard, scratching his head with a few hairs left, "For a person who studies ancient music, entering Hero's IELTS study is a reason that cannot be refused, and you are the first to ask me this, but since you asked, then what do I say about future musicians, international music festival passes and all kinds of glory, these are not attractive to you." ”
I couldn't help laughing, "I like to play Gu Xiao because of my mother, in fact, whether I studied Gu Xiao when I was a child or chose the music department of Western University a year ago, my grandfather helped me decide, and my grandfather helped me decide to learn Gu Xiao because my mother used to like to play drums and whistles." ”
Professor Olvig's face darkened, "Don't you have a choice of your own?" ”
I shook my head, "I don't know, so I can't figure out if I really like music right now, so it's hard for me to make a choice, after all, I still have some responsibilities that I have to take on here, but admittedly, it's a big bait and I'd love to go, so it's hard for me to make a choice right now." ”
Professor Olvig sighed, "You didn't think about living for yourself at such a young age?" ”
Live for yourself? I've been living for myself, I pouted, "So I need an opportunity to help me, I don't know if you can help me, professor." ”
He thought for a moment, "If you have to say that you want an answer, it should be your mother's wish, I remember the song you played before, Rasheng Beitang, it seems to be for your mother." It can be seen that your mother is very important in your heart, and you can integrate your state of mind into the song, which means that you also like this song and the instrument Gu Xiao in your heart. ”
For the sake of my mother, I thought about it and nodded, "I know, can you let me think about it, please appreciate my performance at the concert, if you are still the same at my level at that time, then I think I will also make my choice, and I will definitely show all my strength in front of you without any reservation." ”
"Alright," Olvig nodded, "I'm looking forward to your performance." ”
Maybe I've made a choice, live for myself once, what's wrong, just like before, I don't need to give up, it's just ...... It's not a conflict to pursue my own life.
I don't know, if you can't put the truth into practice, then all speculation is in vain.
I didn't look for any special tunes for the recital, nor did I ask Ling Ge to help me, but chose the most ordinary tune, and I had a dream. This song is familiar to many people, but because of this, it expresses a different feeling to the audience and will let them see a different story.
The rest of the days I spent practicing the song and pondering the artistic conception of the song, not like the story in the song, but through the story to see the artistic conception of the time, and the song was substituted into the scene at that time, as if it was at that time.
Before the concert, Lao Xi also specially gave me a crystal jade flute, the sound quality of the blow is also very special, ethereal like a mountain tune, which is tantamount to a tiger with wings to me, the overall performance of the concert is very successful, Gu Xiao's music echoes in the entire auditorium, a song ended, there was no response for a long time, the people in the audience seemed to be immersed in the artistic conception of the music, and could not return to their senses for a long time, after I bowed off the stage, the audience began to sound applause, and then became more and more enthusiastic.
As soon as I walked down, I heard the deafening applause, paused, and couldn't help but grab the position of my chest, the tension that had not stopped on the stage just now and the excitement of the present moment were tangled together to be the current scene.
Professor Olvig still insisted on his choice, he felt that he chose me correctly, and I made a choice, hopefully, I made the right choice.
He let out a long sigh. I promised Professor Olvig that I would follow him to the college in three days, during which time he would go through the admission procedures and greet me at my current university. Let's change the school status or something.
Hailuo IELTS is a credit system, as long as you complete the credits, you can graduate early, so in fact, there is not much time, I made up my mind to try to complete the credits in the shortest possible time, I hope that foreign countries can also be connected to the domestic prefecture, so that it is more convenient to get anywhere in an instant, and it will not delay things.
These three days also happened to coincide with high school classmates to hold a class reunion. It happened to be the day before leaving, so I deliberately spent two days sorting out the clothes and luggage to be taken away, Jiang Wan was going to go with me, he usually had nothing to do, even if there was something to do with the private plane. The next time I come back, it's probably winter vacation.
I had my luggage at Professor Olvig's for the time being, and the ticket was for the evening, and Professor Olvig reminded me to come and have dinner with him after the reunion and then go on the bus together.
The class reunion was in a Western restaurant, and the initiator was Jiang Lan, the former vice president of the class, the rich second-generation eldest lady who was always pressed by me and often looked at me unpleasantly, and I didn't like this woman either.
