Backstage lounge.

Zuo Yiyi put the violin in his hand on the dressing table.

Turning his face, he glanced at Chu Jinchen, who was sitting on the other side.

"Xiao Xi, this pair of scumbag mother and daughter, you have to watch out for her and beware of their crooked thoughts."

"I know."

Ning Xi took out his mobile phone, looked at the time, and dialed the pianist's number.

The official competition is divided into two sessions.

The first is a concert between the musicians and the orchestra, and the second is a concert between the musicians and the pianist.

This is because there are various factors such as the different styles of each musician and the usual rehearsal time.

There is no pianist for the competition, and all musicians need to find their own pianist to work with.

The pianist Ning Xi was looking for was introduced to her by her classmates, a student of the piano department of the Conservatory of Music.

The call came and it was answered quickly.

"Sister Ningxi, don't worry, I'm already on the way, and I'll be there soon."

"Okay, then you can go directly to the backstage to find me, see you later."

Ning Xi hung up the phone and immediately took out his makeup bag.

"I'm coming!" Zuo Yiyi took the initiative to take her makeup bag, "Sister today has painted you beautifully, and you will be amazed as soon as you come on the stage!" ”

"Not a beauty pageant?"

"You don't understand this, these days, no matter what you do, appearance is very important."

……

The two were chatting, and Fu Jinxi had already walked into the lounge with a few staff members.

The water and food prepared by the organizing committee were distributed to everyone, and she personally took two bottles of water, together with the small paper bag in her hand, and put them on Ning Xi's dressing table.

"My brother is on a business trip and can't make it in time, so I specially asked me to send a box of Bisheng cakes, I wish you a successful start."

"Thank you!" Ning Xi stood up, apologized and took it, "Let me introduce you, this is Fu Lu's sister Fu Jinxi, this is my friend Zuo Yiyi, who works in Brother Jinnian's law firm." ”

Fu Jinxi smiled and shook hands with Zuo Yiyi, "Miss Zuo, I often hear my brother mention you and say that you are very capable." ”

Zuo Yiyi smiled and waved her hand, "I don't have it, Fu Lu has won the award." ”

"Where, I'm just telling the truth." Fu Jinxi looked left and right, "Didn't Brother Jiang Lu come to see you play?" ”

"Oh......" Ning Xi smiled, "He's on a business trip these days. ”

"Business trip, no, I obviously ......" Fu Jinxi stopped halfway through his words and smiled, "I have other things, go get busy first, you work hard." ”

Rather lower your eyelashes.

Sure enough, as she expected, Jiang Lu was only afraid that he would be with Fu Jinxi these days.

Seeing her, Chu Jinchen hurriedly stood up, wanting to say hello to Fu Jinxi.

"Miss Fu......"

"Okay, I won't delay the players' time." Fu Jinxi interrupted her voice and looked around with a smile, "Come on, everyone, I wish you all good results." ”

Smiling at Chu Jinchen, she turned around and walked out of the lounge.

Ning Xi sat back down in front of the dressing table and combed her long hair.

Zuo Yiyi took her comb and glanced at Fu Jinxi's back as she left.

"How come she still knows Chu Jinchen?"

"She's a volunteer for the competition, and all the contestants must know her!" Ning Xi said lightly.

"I see." Zuo Yiyi frowned slightly, "However, what do I think...... This Miss Fu is so familiar? ”

"Don't you think she's like me?" Ning Xi asked.

Zuo Yiyi looked at Ning Xi, suddenly.

"Don't say it, you two are really alike, but ......" Zuo Yiyi turned her face and glanced in the direction of the exit, "I always feel ...... This girl is a bit fake, Fu Lu and I don't know each other at all, how can you praise me at home. ”

Rather than lack of interest, "People are polite, and you should take it seriously." ”

"That's not what you mean......" Zuo Yiyi shook his head, "Anyway...... I don't like her, it feels like a green tea. She also knows Jiang Lu? ”

"Jiang Lu and Fu Jinnian have been good friends for more than ten years, and they grew up together abroad."

"No wonder!" Zuo Yiyi held Ning Xi's shoulder, "Then you have to be careful, this is a high-level green tea at first glance, you are an innocent little white flower, you will definitely not be able to play with others!" ”

Ning Xi looked at himself in the mirror and didn't make a sound.

"Attention players." A staff member walked in and clapped his hands, "Remind everyone, there are still ten minutes before the game starts, players should pay attention to their number plates and game time, don't miss the game." ”

Pulling Ning Xi up from the chair, Zuo Yiyi looked her up and down carefully, and helped her comb her long hair, smiling with satisfaction.

"That's it, then I'll wait for you at the game."

Zuo Yiyi grabbed his bag, and waved his right fist at Ning Xi again, making a cheering gesture.

"I'd rather come on, I'd rather win!"

Ning Xi smiled and pushed her, "Okay, you can go quickly!" ”

The players left the lounge together and went to the backstage entrance to prepare.

Chen Chen, who was arranged in another lounge, immediately walked over and stood beside her when he saw Ning Xi.

"I was the first to take the stage, so I was so nervous."

"It's normal, the first time I performed on stage, my legs were shaking. I have a secret, though......"

"What's the secret, tell me quickly."

"I'll tell you!" Ning Xi lowered his voice, "You just treat the judges and the audience as turnips." ”

Chen Chen burst out laughing, "You're kidding me, aren't you?" ”

"The first player, Chen Chen, please play!"

The host's voice came out of the stereo.

Chen Chen's smile disappeared suddenly, and his nervous breathing became short.

Ning Xi helped her sort out her clothes and sent her to the entrance of the backstage.

"Come on!"

Chen Chen took a deep breath and stepped onto the bandstand.

Side face and glance in the direction of the entrance.

I saw Ning Xi raise his arms and pose in the shape of a radish in mid-air.

The corners of Chen Chen's lips twitched, and most of the tension in his heart disappeared in an instant.

Taking a deep breath, she lifted her violin and lowered it to her shoulder.

After all, it was the first to come to power, and I was a little nervous.

However, because of Ning Xi's help, Chen Chen's performance was not bad, and she successfully scored 93 points in the first round of playing with the orchestra.

After the judges announced the results, Chen Chen pretended to be calm and bowed down.

came to the backstage and immediately hugged Ning Xi's arm excitedly.

"93 points, oh my God, I really didn't expect that I could get more than 90 points, I thought I couldn't even pass."

According to the rules of the competition, if you perform with the band in the first round and do not score 90 points, you will be eliminated directly and will not be eligible to participate in the second round of piano concerto.

For Chen Chen, who has participated in several competitions and was officially shortlisted for the first time, this is enough to surprise her.

"Humph!" Not far away, Chu Jinchen snorted coldly, "It's just barely qualified, what's there to be proud of!" ”

"Don't mention her." Ning Xi grabbed Chen Chen's arm, "Let's prepare for the next game!" ”

"Yes." Chen Chen smiled and nodded, "You have to come on, you must win against that garbage scumbag." ”

"Who are you talking about?" Chu Jinchen heard her voice and asked unhappily.

Chen Chen rolled his eyes, "I didn't say anything about you, what are you nervous about, is it possible, you always knew that you were garbage?" ”
