In the early morning, in the garden, the morning dew condenses on the flower branches, and the flowers fall, fall to the ground, and quietly soak into the earth.

The scent of flowers and black tea floats in the air.

Lola's eyes were a little misty, as if she had just woken up, but she couldn't say how charming she was, and she looked at the young man in front of her and smiled.

"Did you come to me so early to tell me good news or bad news?"

"To be honest, I don't know if it's good or bad. Ye Qingxuan sighed and scratched his hair, "But you should know just by looking at me, right?"

"That's the good one. ”

Lola smiled and gloated.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

Ye Qingxuan asked helplessly, but Lola raised the corner of her eyes to look at him, and asked, "Didn't tell you anything?"

Ye Qingxuan was speechless.

The only thing Lola has reminded herself of is the element of the movement.

-- Its 'fulcrum' is suffering.

Because of the pain of life.

That's what I'm not good at dealing with.

Besides, this kind of thing, even if you tell yourself, will only have the opposite effect, right? The elements are not something that can be used simply by knowing, but an experience that resonates with it.

From this point of view, Ye Qingxuan did a very successful job, but it was this success that doubled his pain.

After being silent for a long time, Ye Qingxuan lowered his head: "Thank you." ”

Lola just smiled, "Say thank you now, then what are you going to say when I give you this?"

As she spoke, she pushed a thin piece of music off the table, which contained the music that Ye Qingxuan wanted to learn.

"Once you have mastered its fulcrum, the movement is simply like drinking water. The hardest part you've learned. Then there is nothing left to worry about. ”

Lola said lightly: "However, are you sure that you can learn it in just two days? Although its music theory is simple, it is a part of "Winter Journey" after all, and it is not as easy as you think. ”

"This is the only thing I'm not worried about. ”

Ye Qingxuan smiled slightly, the 'interpretation method' he majored in was the last thing he was afraid of.

As the brainchild of Abraham. Interpretation is regarded as a crooked way because it never pays attention to feelings.

There is no ethereal place, only precision to the limit, and there is no room for a trace of wrong music theory.

This is a theory as rigid as mathematics, yes or no, and there is no room for ambiguity between them, and there is no place for any emotion.

It's hard to get started, but once you get started. It's also incredibly fast.

Just like solving a problem, as long as you find the right formula, follow the steps, and follow the steps, then there will never be any mistakes.

With it, after mastering the fulcrum, it is as easy as pushing a boat down the river by relying on music theory that contains the fulcrum.

"You have this confidence, but I didn't expect it. ”

Lola pursed her lips in disappointment. I don't know what the plan failed.

Ye Qingxuan's back suddenly felt a little cold, and he felt that he had passed by something dangerous.

He really didn't want to know what other pit Lola had dug for him - he would lose a lot if he accidentally played to death.

He shook his head. Changing the subject, he asked, "What exactly are you imprinting in my mind, and why does it combine with my memories and turn into a nightmare?"

"That's just an introduction. ”

Lola said lightly, "In the East, it is called 'Heart Demon Introduction', and it is the specialty of the heart musician. Planting demonic thoughts in people's hearts. Over time, subtly, people can become puppets under their control.

Are you afraid?"

Ye Qingxuan was startled, and immediately settled down and glared at her. I was shocked to see him. Lola was even happier when she smiled.

"Don't worry, it's a technique that the teacher has transformed in combination with the secret technique of the moon spirit, you can call it 'Image Inheritance'.

It is not the magic thought that is planted, but the musician's comprehension of the movement. It will guide your memories and dreams, allowing you to become a composer and directly understand the mood in it...... In short, there are many benefits. ”

After Lola finished speaking, she looked at him eagerly, ""Winter Journey" is a suite, and you still have twenty-three songs to learn, do you want to make persistent efforts?"

"Forget it. ”

Ye Qingxuan recalled his painful experience in the past two days, and felt a little unbearable for reason when he thought of having to play 23 different ways again.

He'd rather wait until he gets past this hurdle and be honest and follow the rules......

"Tsk. ”

Seeing that Ye Qingxuan didn't take the bait, Lola's expression was a little regretful, "That's a pity." ”

“......”――

At noon, the Royal Academy of Music.

Under the scorching sun, the boy's white hair refracted the light of metal.

In the empty campus, he sat on the steps in front of the main building of the college, looked down at the thin booklet in his hand, and raised his head when he heard footsteps in the distance.

"Brother Stool, have you refreshed?"

The stool with the concrete cube above his head was stunned, but he didn't expect Ye Qingxuan to be waiting for him here, and he seemed to be a little flustered:

"It's ......"

"There's something I want to talk to you about. ”

"Important?"

"Of course it's important. ”

Ye Qingxuan nodded solemnly, "We have had byes for three consecutive days, and we will have semi-finals tomorrow, I don't think the school will allow us to continue to have byes no matter what." So, I want to talk to you about tactics. ”

When Brother Stool heard him say this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and for some reason, a wave of emotion and grievance rose in his heart.

In the past two days, Ye Qingxuan slept a lot, he went to find Charles, Charles was unreliable, he went to Bai Xi, Bai Xi didn't care, he went to find Lao Fei...... What's the use of looking for old Fei for this kind of thing.

It's like the country is in danger, but the emperor's ministers are still supposed to eat and play, and they don't know whether they are alive or dead, and they are in a hurry with a little eunuch.

Rao is his self-proclaimed ability, but in the face of the completely different painting style of the music history department, it is like a mouse pulling a turtle, and he has no way to start.

Outcome. He didn't expect that when he was about to give up, Ye Qingxuan woke up, found him, and took the initiative to talk about the next tactics!

This made him suddenly want to burst into tears: finally reliable!

Brother Stool nodded movingly: "I'm very happy that you can think so." Do you have any ideas?"

"Yes. There's one thing I want to ask you for. ”

For some reason, the boy smiled brightly that made him feel bad: "You'll help me, won't you?"

On the field, it was still in full swing, and the audience was roaring in the sea and the mountains.

In the hustle and bustle, Ye Qingxuan held a teacup in his hand, took a sip slowly, and exhaled happily:

"It's so hilarious. ”

"Yes, yes. ”

Charles was knocking melon seeds and snacks next to him. He was still holding a large glass of steaming beer: "Don't say it, there is wine to drink and games to watch every day, it's a heavenly day!"

"Well, as long as we don't need to end up. ”

“...... Senior brother, the weather is so good, don't mention such a sad thing. ”

"Okay. ”

Ye Qingxuan nodded lightly, "I'll go to the lottery that night." Anyway, you don't have to worry about these things, senior brother. When the time comes, you just need to concentrate on dying. ”

"Wait a minute, are you sure you're going to draw lots? You're so black......"

"Do you want to have a bye all the way to the final?"

Ye Qingxuan glanced at him, "It's beyond our expectations to be able to hold on until now." Senior brother, let's accept it when you see it.

We don't have to lose money, we want to win, we have to come back in the third round. How's your preparation?"

"Everything is under control!"

Charles whistled: "This time I came up with an earth-shattering, ghost-weeping masterpiece, and I guarantee to kill all my graduation works in seconds."

When the time comes, graduation will still be a trivial matter. If you are not careful, you will become famous, and you will be at the peak of your life!"

Hearing him say this, Ye Qingxuan knew that it was completely unreliable.

If it weren't for himself, he would have wanted to find a café. Slap the table: This musician department is about to finish!――

In the eight-in-four competition, the fierce competition finally came to an end. All the contestants were exhausted and exhausted all their energy.

From beginning to end, only the onlookers of the music history department drank tea and ate snacks idlely, and they really squeezed in as if they had come to play...... Seeing that Charles's cheap man was still applauding on stage, the ridicule suddenly increased tenfold.

Every pair of eyes that came over were red, with a cold light of murderous intent that 'must kill you'.

Ye Qingxuan, who watched it, was furious in his heart: The revenge of killing his father, but that's it!

"You won't be proud for long......"

At the end of the game, passing by, someone whispered beside him. Ye Qingxuan turned around, only to see a back in the crowd.

And Banner's grim gaze in the distance.

In the turquoise eyes, there are the vertical pupils of the beast-

"Are you ready?"

Sidney stood numbly on the stage and asked weakly. After three days of tossing in a row, he didn't want to do anything at all.

On the opposite side, the leaders of several teams also looked at each other with complicated eyes.

Tomorrow is the semi-finals. Although I don't know why there are five teams in such a hellish situation.

But since there are five teams, there is destined to be one...... Will there be a bye?

Thinking of this, when they looked at each other, their eyes were full of helplessness: this time, most of them are still music history departments, right?

"If you're ready, let's draw lots......"

Sidney let out a feeble long tone and whispered an expletive. Immediately, he was stunned for a moment.

No, it seems that something is wrong! Why don't you feel that familiar look of contempt today?

Didn't the dog come?

Sidney looked around and smiled: Sure enough, he didn't come!

Although he didn't know why he had a subtle feeling of loss, Sidney couldn't help but rekindle his fighting spirit and rejoice.

"Didn't you come from the music history department?"

He rubbed his hands excitedly: "If you don't come, you will be considered a waiver! Half of the credits will be deducted, and they will be automatically withdrawn......

"Half of it is too exaggerated, isn't it?"

Behind him, someone sighed and reached out to pat him on the shoulder: "Teacher, don't ignore me."

I'm right here, such a big man. Can't you see?"

Sidney looked back in astonishment and saw that it was the white-haired boy, and his eyes were glazed out.

"It's you?"

Glenn was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but sneer, "Don't you shrink back? ”

"Well, I figured it out. ”

Ye Qingxuan said lightly. "Where do you need a secret weapon? ”

There was silence in the stands for a moment, and then everyone burst into laughter, as if they had heard an incredible joke.

They didn't say anything, and some patted him on the shoulder with 'admiration' and lamented his outrageous self-confidence.

"Then you have to do it. Glenn's expression twitched, and he tried to hold back a smile, "I'm looking forward to meeting you guys in the ring." ”

"Me too, me too!"

Someone next to him came up and shook hands with him warmly: "Please give me more guidance and work together to make progress." ”

They were 'warmly welcomed'. Ye Qingxuan also smiled sweetly.

"Rest assured. "Whatever the outcome, I think you'll be disappointed." ”

Hearing him say this, the coldness in those smiles was even stronger.

Sidney was silent for a while, his body suddenly shook, and he looked at the stands, and soon, he withdrew his gaze. Looking at Ye Qingxuan's expression, it was extremely strange, revealing a hint of mockery.

"Just received the message. The school board has passed new rules, and this time, there are no byes. ”

"It's okay, it's about participation!"

Ye Qingxuan smiled mysteriously, as if he was thinking about some ghostly idea, which made people feel uneasy.

Hum. Maybe it's a suspicious formation.

Sidney snorted coldly and waved his hand to announce, "Let's start the lottery." ”

Offstage, Charles fidgeted back and forth, looking tangled and helpless, looking at the high platform. I was anxious for a while. I don't know what the outcome will be.

"Is it reliable?"

Charles scratched his hair and looked at Bai Xi: "Ye Zi is so confident that he will go up, there will be no accidents?"

"Who do you ask me, who do I ask?" Bai Xi was impatient by his noise, "You have asked three times in the past few minutes...... Isn't the result out? Well, you can go and see for yourself......"

She pointed to the list that had just been announced on the high platform. Charles looked back in astonishment, and immediately felt a darkness in front of him.

Sure enough, sign off!

The worst possible outcome to be expected.

Amid an uproar throughout the stadium, the lineup for tomorrow's match was announced.

Department of Music History - Royal School!――

Just in the teacher's department, there was a sigh of relief.

Finally, there was no such damn bye, and everything seemed to be back in order, and it looked very comfortable.

Among them was the sneering Ingmar.

Running into the elite of the student council, plus Banner, who has become a musician, that guy is dead this time......

As for Ludwig, he was engrossed in teasing the miniature version of the pitch-black ocelot in his arms, and the ocelot curled up in a ball and gently gnawed on his fingers. One person and one cat had a lot of fun, and it didn't even matter what was going on.

Anyway, nothing compares to playing with cats, but it's better to play with cats!

Yegor was the only one with a serious expression and a furrowed brow.

In a cheerful atmosphere, he was the only one with a gloomy face and a look of great misfit.

"What's wrong again?"

Ludwig glanced up at him, and Yegor was expressionless: "There is a question that I don't understand. ”

"There are no byes this time. ”

"I know. ”

Yegor glanced at him, "But there is one more thing that seems to have been overlooked. ”

"What do you mean?"

"A three-day bye, if the first day is their luck. On the third day, it was the headmaster who wanted to help them get through.

So, here's the question......"

Yegor muttered in a low voice, "What is the reason for the next day?"

Ludwig understood it at one point, and after a moment of silence, his eyes flashed a look of astonishment: "You mean ......"

Yegor nodded, "I'm afraid that's right." ”

The two looked at each other for a moment, and their expressions invariably became strange:

If that's the case, it's complicated. (To be continued......)
