After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yan stared at the wall for a long time, then sighed slightly and got up to wash.

After washing up, Zhou Yan unconsciously walked to the piano room.

When there is a change in mood, running to the piano room has almost become a conditioned reflex for Zhou Yan.

It's not just him, but a lot of people who study music will stay next to the instrument at this time, because the instrument is the best thing for them to express their emotions.

Sitting on the piano bench, Zhou Yan recalled the whole process of this Olympic bid.

For this Olympic bid, the whole country is very excited, and most people are full of confidence.

There must be a lot of people who are very disappointed with such a result now.

Although he experienced a failure, Zhou Yan still brought hope when he assisted in the filming of the Olympic bid promotional video, so Zhou Yan felt disappointed, after all, this Olympic bid also had his hard work.

Just now, Sun Qin said on the phone that he suspected that it was the ticket bounce on Taiwan Island, and many people should agree with this statement.

However, Zhou Yan remembered that it didn't seem to be Taiwan Island who jumped the ticket, and as for who jumped it, Zhou Yan was not impressed.

Now in this situation, we can only wait for the next time I apply for the Olympics.

Looking at the piano in front of him, Zhou Yan casually played a melody.

This paragraph was improvised, almost no more than a brain, and after playing it, Zhou Yan realized that it sounded strange to play this melody casually.

The song is only a dozen seconds, but it contains two emotions, at first it is slightly lost, but soon it becomes light, high-spirited, and full of hope.

In fact, Zhou Yan didn't know what kind of mood he was in when he heard the news of the failure of the Olympic bid, but now when he heard his impromptu tune, he suddenly understood that this failure made him look forward to the future development in his heart.

After taking a breath, Zhou Yan put his hand on the keyboard again, and then another piece of music came out.

Next, he expanded the piece he had just played into a long piece.

At first, the song is full of disappointment, then it becomes a little excited, and then every note is full of longing and ambition.

And in the last short section of the song, it makes people feel full of ambition.

This improvisation is more intense than "Early Morning, First Snow, Red Sun", the song is about seven or eight minutes long, and when Zhou Yan finished playing, he was slightly panting.

"Whew~"

After a long exhale, Zhou Yan smiled, he was very satisfied with this song, mainly because the tune was light and high-spirited, and after playing, the whole person's mental outlook was much better.

Here, when Zhou Yan was about to sort out the score, the phone in the living room rang again, and he got up and went over to pick up the phone.

Liang Yu's voice came from the opposite side, "Zhou Yan, this time in Monte Carlo, something went wrong with us. ”

Zhou Yan nodded, "Well, I've already heard about it." ”

"Your promotional video performed very well, and there was no problem with the on-site feedback, and this defeat has nothing to do with you." Liang Yu comforted.

Liang Yu was able to make a special call to say this, and Zhou Yan was quite grateful.

"What's going on over there now?"

"Chairman He, they are coming back soon, we have to have an internal meeting, and the above will give instructions, just four words in total, don't be discouraged."

Zhou Yan nodded, these four words look simple, but very powerful, failure is the mother of success, although this is very vulgar, but it is not unreasonable, this defeat also let the members of the Olympic Bidding Committee sum up a lot of experience to prepare for the next Olympic bid.

"It is up to people to plan things, and it is up to heaven to make things happen, and some things are unpredictable." Zhou Yan also comforted Liang Yu in turn.

"Well, let's not tell you yet, I have other things here, call you, just to tell you."

"Okay, Director Liang, you're busy."

After hanging up Liang Yu's phone, Zhou Yangang turned his head to go to the piano room to write out the score, but the phone behind him rang again.

This time it was Shi Tiewei who called.

"Zhou Yan, I heard that the Olympic bid is unfavorable, is it true?"

Shi Tiewei's voice was full of anticipation, and he seemed to be expecting to hear words like "not true" from Zhou Yan's mouth.

But Zhou Yan was going to let him down.

"The news is right, the bid for the Olympics failed, and we lost to Sydney by two votes."

For more than twenty seconds, there was no sound on the other end of the phone.

But in this silence, Zhou Yan heard the endless loss in Shi Tieyi's heart.

"Tie Sheng?" Zhou Yan shouted.

"Well, I'm here." Shi Tiewei's voice was a little hoarse, and then he comforted Zhou Yan, "Zhou Yan, it's okay, it didn't work out this time, there will be a chance in the future, you are still young, the next time you bid for the Olympics, you will be more experienced, and you will definitely be able to make a better promotional video, you are still young, and the days ahead will be very long." ”

There were two "Are you still young" in Shi Tiewei's sentence, which made Zhou Yan a little moved.

Why is Shi Tiewei so lost? Because Shi Tieqi doesn't know how long he can live, his current situation may deteriorate at any time.

Originally, the 2000 Olympic Games they bid for were a bit far away for Shi Tiewei, and he might not be able to live to that year, but after all, he only had a few years to go, and he could still see hope, and he could always get through it.

Now the bid for the Olympics has failed, even if it is bid again in a few years, it will be held in 2004 at the earliest, and there are still eleven years to go, which is too far away for Shi Tiewei.

And this is only the best-case scenario, will China still declare in the next term? If you declare, will you be able to declare successfully? There are too many unknowns.

Zhou Yan suddenly smiled and said, "Tie Sheng, come to our school to listen to the party in the Mid-Autumn Festival." ”

This sudden change of topic made Shi Tiewei a little confused, but he still agreed, "Okay, is it the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival?" ”

"No, it's the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I'll call Yu Hua when I turn around."

"Okay, we'll dress up then."

"I have a new song that you can hear during the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Shi Tiewei also smiled, "I finally heard a good news today. ”

"Then let's just say it, I'll send you the invitation when I get back."

"And an invitation."

"Well, this Mid-Autumn Festival party is quite formal."

"Then I'll wait for your invitation."

……

In fact, this time, the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala was not very formal, but it did get an invitation letter and invited a lot of people from outside the school.

The Piano Boys Symphony Orchestra will take the stage to perform three pieces, two of which are by Zhou Yan, "Eternal Night" and "The Great Wall", and one is "Festival Overture" by Shostakovich.

But now, Zhou Yan is ready to replace "Eternal Night" with this new tune that he just improvised.

It stands to reason that there is only one week left before the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala, and it is very unwise to change the repertoire temporarily, and this song has not even been written.

But Zhou Yan decided to be impulsive.

Therefore, after hanging up Shi Tiewei's phone, Zhou Yan began to compose music again, striving to finalize the score as soon as possible, so that the orchestra could have more rehearsal time.

However, he hadn't written for a while, and another phone call came, this time it was Zhang Yimou, who also asked him about the Olympic bid.

Later, Zhou Yan received several phone calls, all of which were asking about the Olympic bid, and in the end, Zhou Yan simply pulled out the phone line at his home and concentrated on writing the tune.

He wrote the piece as a piano quartet, and also made some changes on the basis of improvisation, such as the noise of non-stop answering the phone, and the silence of Shi Tiewei, all of which he put in, and appeared at the same time.

The four instruments he chose this time were the piano, two violins, and a viola, and the piece began with a piano introduction.

In this section, the piano plays the main role, and there is a back and forth dialogue with the other three instruments, but soon, the voices of the other three instruments become more and more impatient, and the piano suddenly falls silent.

Later, the sound of the piano reappeared, but it became full of antiquity and longing, and slowly reflected a kind of ambition, and finally it was also full of ambition.

It took two days for Zhou Yan to finish writing this piano quartet, and the next evening, Zhou Yan took the score to the school concert hall.

At this time, the orchestra was rehearsing the "Festival Overture", and Zhou Yan did not disturb them, but sat down and listened quietly.

After the rehearsal of "Festival Overture" was over, Zhou Yan walked to the stage and said, "Everyone, this Mid-Autumn Festival Gala, our performance repertoire may have to make some adjustments. ”

The head of the group, Fang Xiu, looked puzzled, "Senior Brother Zhou Yan, it's only been four or five days until the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala, why did you suddenly change the tune now?" ”

Li Biru said indifferently, "If you change the tune, you change the tune, what do you want to change?" Or change to "The Nightingale", Senior Brother Zhou Yan, you are in the main position, and you can still make a bright appearance. ”

"It's okay to change "Dark Fragrance Floating", senior brother will go up and show us off your skills."

"Why don't you just "Always Be Together", with a different style, didn't you say that a lot of off-campus guests were invited? Let's have some tunes like this, it's more friendly to them. ”

"In that case, why not come to "If Love Has Providence"?"

"It's the Mid-Autumn Festival, this song is not suitable."

"If it's not "Whispering", it sounds very happy, and "Multi-threaded" will do."

"These two playful songs are quite playful, but they are too short to be suitable."

……

When they heard that they were going to change the repertoire, the members of the orchestra didn't think there was any big problem, and they were still discussing with great interest what repertoire to change, and they all felt that if they wanted to change the repertoire, it must be from the pieces they usually rehearsed.

After they discussed for a while, Zhou Yan suddenly raised the notebook in his hand, "Let's play a new piece this time." ”

The members of the orchestra, who were originally talking about it, were stunned for a moment, and looked at Zhou Yan in unison, and everyone's faces were full of surprise.

Even if you change the track, you still have to play a new track?

But after being stunned, some people suddenly reacted.

"Senior brother has a new tune again?"

"Okay, I'm going to hear my brother's new work again."

However, some people are worried, "It won't be the same song as "Eternal Night", that is not enough time." ”

"yes, we've just come up with Eternal Night."

Hearing their worries, Zhou Yan said, "Of course it's not too difficult, this is a piano quartet, a few days, it's completely enough for you." ”

Hearing that it was a piano quartet, many of the orchestra members were disappointed again.

Since it is a piano quartet, then the piano must be settled, and there are three other instruments, most likely violin, and there is no hope for the other instruments.

And even if it's a violin, there are so many people in their orchestra violin group, they can't tell the difference.

Zhou Yan didn't care about their disappointment, and handed the score to Fang Xiu, "You arrange people." ”

Fang Xiu nodded, "Okay, senior brother." ”

She opened the score and looked at it, but she didn't see the name, and then asked, "Senior brother, what is this piece called?" ”

"Yanjing Silent."

Hearing this name, Fang Xiu didn't ask much, and began to study the score.

Zhou Yan still has to talk to the organizing committee of the party about changing the repertoire, which is not difficult, but he has to inform him.

After Zhou Yan left, the others instantly surrounded Fang Xiu.

"Captain, what other instruments does the quartet have besides the piano?"

"I'll sign up, Captain."

Fang Xiu looked at the boy who raised his hand, and said with rolled eyes, "Do you think there is still the position of your gong in the piano quartet?" ”

"Leader, I sign up, do you have a cello?"

Fang Xiu shook his head, "No, it's just a piano, two violins, and a viola." ”

"I'm me, I'm here, the viola is for me."

"Commander, I'm better at assault."

……

Liang Yu walked all the way to Yangyin, feeling that this year's Mid-Autumn Festival was not very festive.

It may also be his delusion, but he always feels that the reason why this is the case is also related to the failure of the Olympic bid, and the failure of the Olympic bid this time seems to have cast a shadow on Yanjing City.

The main thing was that it was too much fanfare before, and it was a national mobilization, and now after the defeat, the backlash is also obvious.

If the Olympic bid is successful, this year's Mid-Autumn Festival will definitely be more lively, because not only tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, but the day after tomorrow is also the National Day.

However, when he arrived at the concert hall of CCTV, Liang Yu suddenly felt the atmosphere of the festival, full of audiences, performers, and everyone had a smile on their faces.

The Mid-Autumn Festival Gala was quite formal, and each guest received an invitation.

Zhou Yan also invited He Zhenliang, but Chairman He was busy and did not come.

Looking inside the crowd, Liang Yu saw Sun Qin first and walked over.

"Director Sun."

Seeing Liang Yu, Sun Qin smiled and said, "Director Liang, you are here too, what is your seat number?" ”

Liang Yu took out the invitation letter and looked at it, "1-25, do you know where it is?" ”

"1-25, right next to me, I'm 24."

Liang Yu nodded, he and Sun Qin's position was next to each other, which should have been specially arranged by Zhou Yan.

After sitting down, Liang Yu turned his head to look, and then asked Sun Qin, "Do you know any of the guests who came today?" ”

"I just saw Chen Kaige and a few people from Yanjing Studio."

"Oh, Chen Kaige, he's been quite famous lately."

"Farewell My Concubine" has been released in the mainland for two months, and the number of moviegoers has exceeded 10 million, and the results are very good, mainly because this movie has won awards in Europe, and it has often been seen on TV in the past few months, and there are often interviews with Chen Kaige.

"It seems that Gong Li is also here, I saw her from a distance at the door just now, but I didn't see her come in. There should be a few other actors, but I don't know them either. ”

"It's going to be a holiday soon, there should be a lot of activities on your stage, aren't you staring at the stage?"

"I don't need to worry about the festival program in the station."

"Director Sun should be very busy."

"Of course he's busy."

……

Sun Qin was not mistaken, Gong Li did come, but she was chatting with Zhou Yan in the back, and Chen Kaige was also there.

Chen Kaige said, "I have put on the activities in the factory, is it interesting enough to come to you?" ”

"That is, Director Chen is now famous all over the world, and I am very honored to be invited."

"Excuse me, but after the party, you don't arrange a drink?"

"Don't worry, the table is set for you."

Gong Li asked, "Are you on stage today?" ”

"There's a show coming to the stage."

"Is it a solo?"

"No solo tonight."

"That's a pity." Gong Li said regretfully.

Zhou Yan looked at his watch and said with a smile, "The performance is about to start, you guys take a seat, I'll go to the orchestra to have a look." ”

"Okay, let's go by ourselves, you can do your own business."

Zhou Yan sent them into the hall, then turned around and went to the back, but just two steps away, he saw Yu Hua.

Yu Hua's whole person looked a little sluggish, and the dark circles under his eyes were very heavy.

Zhou Yan teased him, "It's not easy to take care of children." ”

Yu Hua sighed, "I really didn't help with the children, but I was very tired, too hard, to be honest, I ran out alone today, and I was quite happy." ”

"It's hard in the early stage, but it's much better after a while."

"It's like you've had a child...... What about Tiesheng? Is he coming? ”

Zhou Yan turned around and pointed in the direction of Shi Tiewei and Chen Ximi, "Here, sit over there with your sister-in-law, and your seat is also next to you." ”

"Okay, I'm over, you can get busy."

When Yu Hua walked up to Shi Tiewei, Chen Kaige and Gong Li were also beside him, chatting with Shi Tiewei.

Chen Kaige and Shi Tiewei know each other, and his previous filming of "Singing While Walking" is adapted from Shi Tiewei's "Fate is Like a String".

After Yu Hua came over, Gong Li greeted Yu Hua again, "Brother Yu Hua, you are here." ”

"Well, you're here too." Yu Hua nodded, and said hello to Shi Tiewei and his wife.

Hearing that the person who came was Yu Hua, Chen Kaige was also very interested, in fact, he was very interested in famous writers, including Zhou Yan, and it was also because after seeing Zhou Yan's writing, his mentality changed fundamentally.

The aura of the identity of a writer is too strong.

Don't look at Chen Kaige's high spirits now, but in front of Shi Tiewei and Yu Hua, he is still relatively humble.

Chen Kaige also complimented Yu Hua a few words, saying that he is a loyal reader of Yu Hua and likes Yu Hua's "Shouting in the Drizzle" very much.

Gong Li covered her mouth and snickered beside her, because of "Farewell My Concubine", she and Chen Kaige have not been uncommon in the past few months, and she can also feel that Chen Kaige is becoming more and more proud.

Like today, it is rare for Chen Kaige to compliment others first, and in most cases, he is waiting for others to compliment him.

Yu Hua was not interested in these compliments, but instead asked Chen Kaige, "Does Director Chen have any children?" ”

Chen Kaige was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No." ”

"Oh." Yu Hua was a little disappointed.

He was counting on learning some parenting experience from Chen Kaige, and he knew that Gong Li and Shi Tieqi had no children, so he could only hope for Chen Kaige.

Shi Tieqi helped explain, "There is just a kid from the Yu Hua family, and he has been tortured enough recently. ”

"Congratulations, although I have never given birth to a child, but I still have some understanding in this regard, the first few months of the child's birth is the most critical, you must not drink milk powder, you must drink breast milk, otherwise, the child's body lacks important elements......"

Seeing Chen Kaige, a bachelor, talking eloquently about the topic of parenting, Yu Hua couldn't help but pout, this Director Chen is a braggart master.

Chen Kaige and the others bragged for a while and returned to their seats, because the party was about to start.

At seven o'clock, the party officially began, and the two hosts, a man and a woman, came to the stage to say an opening speech, and then introduced the program, the process was very concise, and there was not even a link for the leader to speak on stage.

The first program tonight is an excerpt from an original opera "Colorful Clouds Chasing the Moon", the story of this paragraph is very simple, it is the last conversation between Hou Yi and Chang'e before Chang'e chases the moon.

The reason why this show is put in the first place is also to lead to the prelude to the Mid-Autumn Festival through the legend of Chang'e running to the moon.

Since it is a party of central sound, it naturally has the characteristics of central sound, and after the opera, it is the chorus of various choirs and the performance of orchestras.

Before each program, the host will introduce the program.

When Zhou Yan's repertoire was introduced, the applause at the scene was the warmest.

Other orchestras basically play some classic repertoire, and only the Piano Youth Orchestra plays Zhou Yan's original repertoire.

In order not to waste time, the repertoire played by the same orchestra is all connected, otherwise it will be very troublesome up and down.

The first piece they played was "Festival Overture" and the second was "The Great Wall".

After the two pieces were played, the host walked to the front and introduced, "The next piece is still played by the Piano Youth Symphony Orchestra, and it is still original by Zhou Yan, a teacher of the composition department, but unlike the previous "Great Wall", the next piece is a new piece. I heard that this piece was composed by Mr. Zhou Yan a few days ago. ”

"Next, please enjoy the "Yanjing Silent" brought to us by the Piano Youth Symphony Orchestra."

Although it was only a quartet, the rest of the orchestra did not leave, but the four musicians leaned forward.

Including Zhou Yan, who also stood among the musicians, looking at the four people who were about to play in front of them.

There is no conductor, and the piano is the dominant performer.

Here the piano gives a note, and the performance officially begins.

In the first short section, there is a dialogue between the piano and the other three instruments, back and forth, from the tune, you can hear some loss and sadness, especially the viola part, like a person sighing for a long time.

Gradually, the conversation between the several instruments became chaotic, and at last it sounded like a quarrel, but at that moment, the piano suddenly stopped, and only the sound of the other three instruments sounded.

After about twenty seconds, the other three instruments seemed to be "conscious" of the silence of the piano, and they all questioned the piano.

As if answering the other three instruments, the piano sound sounded again.

But unlike the first section, the tune of this section becomes calmer, and the other three instruments gradually become more and more stable from their original impatience.

After another while, the tempo of the song became faster again, but this time it was not impatient, but light, and the tune was full of anticipation and longing, and slowly, this positive mood became more intense, and it became full of ambition and ambition.

Liang Yu in the audience didn't understand it at first, but when the piano sound sounded again, he realized that this piece may have been composed after the failure of the Olympic bid.

In particular, the noisy and silent contrast in the previous paragraph was very much in line with their mood when they heard the news at that time.

But what surprised Liang Yu was that the emotions contained in this song were too high-spirited, and the loss of the failure of the Olympic bid was fleeting, and it was more of an expectation for the future.

And from the second half of this song, Liang Yu heard a strong confidence in the future.

Liang Yu had to sigh that the power of music was too direct, and his heart, which was still disappointed, was mobilized like this, and he had a lot of motivation.

This song is better than many words of comfort.

Most people don't know that this piece was written because of the failure of the Olympic bid, but they can also feel the emotion in it, and the whole piece gives the impression that someone has encountered a setback, but in the end he is brave and confident to face forward.

Everyone experiences something different, but they can all feel the inspiring power of the song.

Wu Zuqiang nodded secretly, among the students he brought in the past few years, the most worry-free ones were Zhou Yan and Li Tao.

Although the styles of the two are different, they both have one characteristic, that is, there are many works.

Li Tao wins by quantity, and quantitative change causes qualitative change, while Zhou Yan is not as good as Li Tao in quantity, but he is also very prolific, and the quality of each song is very high.

Although "Yanjing Silent" is just a quartet, it reflects Zhou Yan's skills and talent, Zhou Yan's ability to express emotions is very strong, which can almost be said to be a talent, no matter how hard many people work, it is difficult to obtain this ability.

And Zhou Yan can combine this talent with his own technology, so he often creates this kind of music that has both technical embodiment and emotion.

However, having such a student also makes him a teacher with no sense of accomplishment.

On the other side, Shi Tiewei heard the name of the song, and then heard the silence of the piano, and suddenly thought of the situation when he called Zhou Yan on the morning of the 24th.

At that time, he was silent for a long time.

Could it be that Zhou Yan wrote this paragraph because of his silence at the time?

Otherwise, how can even the silence be about the same?

If it were someone else, Shi Tiewei might have wondered, could he make the song so quickly? But Zhou Yan and Shi Tiewei did not doubt it at all, when he was in the general's mound, when Zhou Yan wrote "Borrowing Cucumbers", he was improvised.

When the song ended, Shi Tieqi applauded and said to Yu Hua next to him, "This song should have been written for the failure of the Olympic bid." ”

"It feels that way, but how do you know?"

"Guess, go back and ask him for verification."

"Yanjing Silent" is not the last program, after the performance, the Piano Youth Symphony Orchestra will go down, and the following programs will continue.

Waited until half past nine, and the whole party ended on time.

At the end, Zhou Yan walked to the front row and introduced Gong Li and Chen Kaige to the leaders of the school, and then Zhou Yan took them to the hotel outside for dinner.

Shi Tieqi couldn't go to dinner with them so late because of physical reasons, and Yu Hua, his wife and children were all at home, so Zhou Yan asked the three of them to go home first.

When parting, Shi Tiewei asked Zhou Yan, "Is this piece composed because of the failure of the Olympic bid?" ”

Zhou Yan nodded, "Well, do you feel 'silent' déjà vu?" ”

Getting the answer, Shi Tiewei smiled, "This song is very good, it is like a broom, which can sweep away people's negative emotions." ”

After Shi Tiewei left, Liang Yu asked Zhou Yan, "Is there an audio tape version of this song?" ”

"There's a rehearsal tape, maybe it's not particularly good, you want to listen to it?"

"Well, I want to take it back and listen to it, is it convenient?"

"No problem, as long as it's not commercial."

"You can rest assured that there is no commercial use."

……

The next night, Zhou Yan returned to Jinling to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival with his family.

As soon as he arrived at his grandparents' house, Zhou Yan saw Lao Zhou Qian covering Lao Jiu Zhouqing's eyes.

He just wanted to ask Zhou Qian why he covered Qing'er's eyes, so he heard Qing'er take her fourth sister's hand and say, "I've grown up and can see and kiss." ”

Zhou Yan scratched his head, turned his head to look at the TV, and then only felt his brain buzz.

Good guy, the movie "Green Snake" is playing on TV, and he is kissing Wang Zuxian, and the kiss is dark.

The point is that he can't take his eyes off his younger siblings, and he looks completely thirsty for knowledge.

Zhou Yan covered his forehead, "Qianqian, cover Qing'er's eyes, there can't be a slit." ”

"Yes, third brother."

Zhou Yan nodded, and said strangely, "Where did this tape come from?" ”

"The second brother gave it."

The reason why Zhou Yan asked this is because the movie was only released in Xiangjiang two days ago.

Looking at the clarity of this tape, his brother Zhou Hong must have used some special means, and there is no difference between the clarity of this thing and the genuine tape.

Zhou Yan went to the kitchen and greeted his grandmother, but as soon as he entered, the third aunt Li Guangqin said, "Xiaoyan, the play is good." ”

Grandma said, "The acting is good, but the sacrifice is too great, and the body is naked." ”

The eldest aunt Zhao Lan laughed, "Mom, you are an old thinker, now making movies, what is this?" There are more dew. ”

"That's right, Mom, don't you just show your upper body, there are more shirtless men on the street." Li Guangqin said.

"Then can my grandson compare to those rough old men?"

"Mom, I see that you watched Jackie Chan and their kung fu movies before, aren't they gradually becoming interesting? Jackie Chan in there, they are more bare-chested. ”

"That's someone after all."

"Mom, I look at you, just treat Xiaoyan as a child."

Zhou Yan listened to them beside him, but he couldn't interject, stood and listened for a while, and then ran to the side of the council room.

As soon as he arrived at the conference hall, the eldest brother Zhou Yu hammered him on the shoulder, "I can't see it, your kid's muscles can be trained." ”

(End of chapter)
