Chapter 103: Just one look, and he's gone
Coming out of Zhuang Le, before he crossed the road, Jiang Xu received a call from Luo Ming, who told him that the matter had been done, and now the police on both sides were already negotiating the extradition.
"I'm booking a flight back home now, do you want to choose the one at half past one this morning, or nine o'clock tomorrow morning?"
The trip here has ended, and Luo Ming is ready to book a ticket for the two to return home. Under normal circumstances, he would not consider the plane in the early morning, but during this time, Jiang Xu is like an iron man, and those who have early morning will definitely choose early morning.
But unexpectedly, Jiang Xu's answer was.
"Tomorrow morning."
On the other end of the phone, Luo Ming didn't expect Jiang Xu to choose the next day's plane this time, and he was obviously stunned for a moment, but he immediately answered.
"Okay, then I'll pick you up now."
"No need."
Jiang Xu glanced at the silver Bugatti he parked on the side of the road.
"When the time comes, you can just go to the airport and wait for me."
"Yes."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Xu got into the car, fastened his seat belt and started the car.
The low roar of the Bugatti engine was drowned out in the snow in the mild winter sun.
Jiang Xu went back to the hotel first, he didn't have much luggage, he couldn't use his suitcase, and a suitcase could fit it.
Before walking out of the hotel door with his suitcase, he passed the fitting mirror in the hallway, and for the first time, the man's footsteps stopped.
Jiang Xu stopped in front of the fitting mirror, looked at himself in the mirror a few times, frowned slightly, he reached out and touched his chin, a little prickly.
These days, apart from taking care of himself a little bit before he went to see Brian, he hasn't worked on his appearance anymore.
Even he doesn't remember when he started, tired of taking care of his appearance.
Even Jiang Zhuoyi, who has always felt that men are rough and good, began to complain about him, saying that he relied on himself to have a good skin and was unkempt.
Jiang Xu stood in front of the mirror for a while, bent down, put the suitcase at the door, and turned back to the bathroom.
He washed his face, picked up the tools he had in the hotel, and shaved the scum off his face in front of the mirror. After carefully taking care of his hair, which was already a little messy, and confirming that his appearance was correct, Jiang Xu returned to the door, picked up his suitcase, and opened the door to go out.
After Jiang Xu's car drove into F City, he did not drive in the direction of the airport, but drove straight to the suburbs.
The view gradually widens, and the buildings in the city gradually disappear, replaced by sparsely covered fields and woods.
He looked ahead with a blank face, followed the navigation, and drove the car as fast as he could.
In fact, he couldn't hold back a long time ago and checked Tracy Brown's residence.
But every time he came to Country Y, he couldn't help but not look for Su Yuli, just looking for a reason, and kept passing by different streets in F City, wanting to meet her by chance.
Until this time, he heard the sound of her piano, and a strong impulse began to wrap him day and night, and he had long realized that he didn't have such good self-control in Su Yuli's matter at all.
Obviously, he was already under the sky of the same city with her, and he was unwilling to leave without seeing her.
These days, or rather, every day before, he followed Jiang Zhuoyi and Yu Qingning's advice, forcing himself not to go to her, not to call her, not to think about her.
But when she was caught off guard and woke up from a corner of her memory, as the blood flowed through her body, he couldn't control herself anymore, this feeling was like an addiction, and she couldn't control it.
Just take a look and see if she's doing well.
Just look at it from afar, and then he will go.
--
Although the Spring Festival is not a traditional festival in country Y, with the integration of cultures from various countries, the local people will spontaneously organize to celebrate the Spring Festival.
Su Yuli, Tracy, and Seneca got up early in the morning and drove to the central square of the city to attend the Spring Festival celebration.
Although they thought they were early enough, when they arrived at their destination, they found that the square was already crowded.
Today's central square, unlike the usual spectacular and enchanting medieval style, is lit up, the most conspicuous is the large red lanterns hanging all over the perimeter of the square.
Su Yuli looked at this crowded and crowded square, and sighed silently in her heart, joining in the fun, it is really the same for people everywhere.
In the middle of the square, there was a temporary stage with a red carpet, and Su Yuli and Tracy tried their best to push through the crowd and lean towards the middle under the cover of Seneca, but because there were too many people, they still couldn't successfully squeeze to the front of the stage, but this position could barely watch the performance on the whole stage.
This kind of activity, the people standing in the back basically just listen to it.
But the people who came here knew that this was the festival, to join in the fun. This is especially true of a people as enthusiastic and liberal as theirs.
Performances soon began, with dragon and lion dances, Peking opera, fan dances, and even square dances for good luck.
The front row is watched with the eyes, the back row is watched with the camera, anyway, the atmosphere is very enthusiastic, and the cheers have not stopped much all morning.
By noon, the event was over, and the people in the square were still so excited that they didn't want to disperse. Many people even secretly unloaded the lanterns around and took them back as souvenirs.
Su Yuli, Tracy and Seneca walked around the square again, had lunch, and bought some souvenirs from the surrounding stalls before heading home.
This lunch, Tracy specially chose Chinese food in order to cater to Su Yuli's appetite, and Su Yuli also ate a little bit after a long time.
The local eating habit is to like to add a lot of cream, cheese or various sauces to the food, and the same is true for the rice cooked by Kaye, which really does not match Su Yuli's light appetite, so she has not eaten much during this time.
It's rare to eat Chinese food, Su Yuli grabbed the oyster sauce and mixed lettuce is a crazy meal, she has never thought this dish is so delicious.
In the afternoon after returning to the villa, Su Yuli practiced in the living room the violin group of the upcoming Tchaikovsky International Music Competition.
When it snowed, she didn't go to the small garden to practice.
Tracy had already helped her plan the next competition schedule a few days ago, and Su Yuli was in a cold sweat, she couldn't have imagined these events when she was still in Wanjing Entertainment before.
Because even if she brought it up, it would be rejected immediately.
In the past, when she was still in Wanjing Entertainment, the company never allowed her to participate in this kind of internationally serious competitive events, but only allowed her to participate in some entertainment events that had nothing to do with the strength of the players themselves, but were linked to the company's strength.
After all, at that time, her character was a 'very talented violin princess', and her positioning was also an idol artist. To put it bluntly, it is just a beautiful commodity packaged by capital, and the requirements for her true strength are really not so high.
Even if the first entertainment event, or even no professional event enters the semi-finals, the fact is that the first entertainment event is more gimmick and publicity. And if you don't get the first place, you are likely to be labeled as a personality collapse, no matter what level of event you are participating in. This is the weakness of human nature.
The company also knows that for fans and netizens, or most people, the important thing is that this person won the first place, and the gold content of the events she participated in is not much that no one cares, after all, there are not many people who understand this kind of professional thing.
The teachers who were invited by Wanjing Entertainment to teach Su Yuli also understood this truth, so although they were indeed very powerful professional violinists, many of them would find it strange why Su Yuli practiced so hard and just made a vase.
So this time, it is the first time in Su Yuli's life that she has really begun to participate in international professional competitions. Naturally, she was too nervous to do it.
I went out to play in the morning and didn't practice, but I had to hurry up and practice in the afternoon.
When it was time for dinner, Seneca set up dinner and called the two of them to dinner. Tracy came out of the room and walked downstairs while looking at Su Yuli who was standing in front of the fireplace practicing with a smile.
"Okay, let's rest, there are still two weeks to play, why are you so nervous now?"
Su Yuli sighed secretly when she heard this, is two weeks a lot?
The little girl did not shy away from showing timidity, she was already very nervous.
"It's my first time competing in an international event."
"Hmm."
Tracy said casually, "Yes, you little girl is really a transparent person, and she is not well-known in the world, I told my old friends that I took in an apprentice named Su Yuli, and they all thought you were a wild cat I picked up on the side of the road." ”
Su Yuli smiled and put the piano down, and walked to the kitchen to help Seneca serve the dishes together.
"Tracy, will you come with me on the day of the game?"
"Why should I go with you?"
Tracy glanced at Su Yuli with an exaggerated and disdainful expression.
"This kind of little competition, why don't you just go by yourself?"
"Huh?"
Su Yuli was stunned in place with a plate of roasted lasagna.
Tchaikovsky International Music Competition...... Is it a small game?
This is a competition with a very high gold content in the latest violin international competition ranking guide? It's all a small game, so what is a big game?
However, Su Yuli thought about it, for a person as powerful as Tracy, it might not be big.
Su Yuli thought like this, and sighed greatly in her heart.
She hadn't participated in this kind of competition, and she didn't know what the strength of the other players was, but no matter what, she had to work hard, at least to get the ranking, and when she thought about it, she suddenly felt even more nervous.
Tracy had already walked to the table by this time, pulled out a chair and sat down, and said nonchalantly.
"You've got talent, you've been practicing hard since you were a child, you've been training intensively with me for a few months, and if you can't even win a competition at Tchaikovsky's level, go sleep on the street."
“……”
Su Yuli felt that her heart was half cold, was the pressure so great? Better than not winning, you have to sleep on the street?
Tracy ignored Su Yuli's complicated gaze and continued.
"However, when you go to the Mewin or Carlin International Violin Competition, I can go with you, just in time to meet my old friend."
Su Yuli swallowed her saliva, only to feel that she was about to faint.
"Also...... Going to the Mewin or Carlin tournament? ”
These are the two most watched competitions among young violinists, and I heard that it is not easy to get the qualification, so does she still have to participate in these two competitions? Is it so exciting?
Forget it, the soldiers will block, and the water will cover it!
Su Yuli smiled bitterly, it's not that she can't sleep on the street!
She glanced out the window, I don't know if it was her illusion, why did she suddenly feel colder, Su Yuli felt a little colder in her heart, her nose was sore, she quickly covered her mouth and nose with both hands, and sneezed.
Tracy raised an eyebrow at her, "Got a cold?" I'll just say you're not in good health, and let you eat less than a rabbit every day. ”
“……”
Seneca also looked out the window and answered.
"I just looked at the weather forecast, and it said that there was a snowstorm tonight, and I have to remind Kaye later, don't go out for the next two days."
Tracy also glanced in the direction of the window.
"Really? No wonder it's so dark today. ”
Su Yuli sniffed, tracy didn't say that it was okay, as soon as she said it, she really felt a little dizzy, and her body was cold, so she simply finished eating and rested for a while, made herself a cup of ginger tea, and fell asleep after drinking.
