"That's why you know that I play erhu?"

"Well, in the first qualifier, I saw you when the players were waiting backstage."

Chu Tianmian leaned on the edge of the piano and recalled with a smile:

"I'd already competed in a number of competitions at the time, but this was the first time I've had a hodgepodge of instruments. So I was a little nervous, and I was just there and secretly observing my opponents!

I saw a boy with a very good temperament, and at first glance I knew that he was a fierce rival..."

I see, since then, I have silently regarded myself as an imaginary enemy.

Su Chengyi raised his eyebrows and motioned for her to continue.

“... What kind of smug look do you have, do you think I'm talking about you! ”

Chu Tianmian glanced at him.

"People play the cello, right?

I was thinking about what to do if I met him, when I saw a blind guy sitting in the corner, with a bitter gourd face, and almost set a bowl in front of him. Yes, that's you! ”

Su Chengyi was choked for a moment.

When Chu Tianmian said this, he remembered it a little.

Maybe it's because the track of the qualifier is "Erquan Reflecting the Moon", and the shape imitates A Bing.

At that time, the judges were amused by his cold expression in sunglasses.

This program is not mainly encouraging and friendly like other children's competitions, but focuses on professionalism.

The judges have always been more serious, and it is rare for them to be unable to stop laughing.

Su Chengyi is still very grateful for that pair of sunglasses when he thinks about it now.

Because it was the first time he had participated in this kind of competition, the scrutinizing gaze of the audience and the judges made him very, very nervous.

Fortunately, there were sunglasses, so he did the whole thing with his eyes closed.

Maybe because of this, it really pulls out the feeling of blind art in the original work.

"I thought you would be eliminated soon! I didn't expect you to advance all the way to the finals like me, and that cello classmate was brushed down in the qualifiers. ”

It was obviously many years ago, but Chu Tianmian remembered it very clearly.

"The piece I chose for the final was Liszt's "Bell", wow, I really practiced this for a long, long time."

Su Chengyi nodded, Liszt's songs are very suitable for showing off skills, and they are the best type to use in competitions.

The final is voted by the whole audience, and in addition to the judges, the votes of the audience are also very important.

If you play Bach or Mozart, the layman may not be able to tell the truth.

"When I finished playing, the teacher smiled and told me that I was stable, and I felt stable!

Because I was quite satisfied with the judges, I didn't rush to the backstage and wanted to take a look at it, because I had never seen other contestants' performances before.

Good guy, you didn't wait for the host to invite you, and went up with the erhu in your arms. I saw your expression and would love to frame your face with the sunglasses of the qualifiers. Because it's so stinky. ”

Under Chu Qianmian's vivid description, Su Chengyi had almost recovered his dusty memory.

If his expression looked very dragged at that time, it was only because he was too nervous and had nowhere to put his facial features.

Then you played a song "Autumn Moon in the Han Palace". Oh my God, it's the first time I've known that erhu is so good. I didn't want to admit it at the time, but I knew that my first place was gone. ”

Truly.

Su Chengyi wanted to slip away as soon as the performance was over, but he was held down by the host who rushed onto the stage, and stood in place and listened to the judges' fancy praise for twenty minutes.

In the end, it was no surprise that he won the first place.

"It was the first time I finished second since I was a kid! I'm a little unconvinced! ”

Su Cheng nodded thoughtfully,

"Then let's get used to it now."

Chu Tianmian glared at him, but he didn't know how to refute.

"And you didn't come to claim the prize, everyone was looking for you, and finally I found you hiding in the background and watching the caterpillars line up... I'm speechless! ”

Chu Tianmian thought that he had asked him to accept the award very politely at that time, and even suppressed his bad mood and tried to pull out a kind smile.

The hateful Su Chengyi turned his head, but he had an expression of "I'm doing business, why bother me", "who are you", "so annoying", and now he is still angry!

"I had just learned about the caterpillar effect in science class, and I heard that they would blindly follow the caterpillars that walked in front of me, so I wondered if it was true."

Su Chengyi explained seriously.

“... Anyway, at the time, I thought that this person was a nerd. How can I be defeated by nerds! We need to get back to the field! ”

Speaking of this, Chu Tianmian sighed deeply.

All the bad luck began with the breath she couldn't swallow at this time.

Since then, she has actively participated in various musical instrument competitions, and she has won a bunch of gold medals, but she has never met Su Chengyi again.

So I found someone to inquire about his school.

When Xiaosheng was young, she was splashing around at home, and instead of going to the Chinese school next door, she went to a middle school.

In fact, this is not just a matter of choosing a school, it has almost completely changed the trajectory of her life.

According to her family's arrangement, she will be sent to study abroad in high school, and even think about her job after graduation.

So Miss Chu began her life as the second in 10,000 years.

For so many years, he has not succeeded in defeating this great god once.

Just like hitting the south wall, Chu Tianmian held the persistent mentality of "I want to be reluctant", and ran behind Su Chengyi for many years.

"Actually, you don't have to be so tough, tell me earlier, I can give you as many first places as you want."

Su Chengyi said with a smile.

"Who wants you to let me!"

Chu Tianmian waved his fist and said angrily.

But Su Chengyi suddenly thought that if he hadn't been reborn, he wouldn't have known about these things at all.

Not long ago, he wondered why Chu Tianmian was so different from the children of rich families in his impression.

If you don't sit on the Maybach at home, you have to squeeze the subway.

She doesn't have to study hard at all to easily live any life she wants, but she still chooses to spend her time on boring textbooks.

Why?

And why.

It's just a girl who lives on the clouds, and one day suddenly meets a strange boy who only lives in her own world.

So he trekked through mountains and rivers to see his world.

The girl chased his back for so many steps without him knowing, and he didn't look back once.

The distance between the two seems to be close, but in fact they are far away.

So when did Chu Qianmian, who was in the previous life, let go of his obsession?

Su Chengyi tried to recall, but he didn't attend the later class reunion once, and he didn't care about the recent situation of his old classmates at all, so he naturally didn't know what happened to Chu Tianmian later.

When he looked at the current Chu Tianmian, he had more complicated feelings.

"What's wrong? Okay, okay, if you're really sorry for me, then... Tomorrow, no, let me do it next time I take the physics exam! ”

Sensing that there was some apology in his eyes, Chu Tianmian said with a happy smile.

Su Chengyi walked to the piano,

"Let's play a song together, "Lu Xiaoyu".

Chu Tianmian was stunned for a moment and walked next to him.

Su Chengyi only put one hand on the key, which means that he is only responsible for playing those simple single notes.

Chu Tianmian couldn't help but smile, put the keys on the piano with both hands, and took a deep breath.

What, I've never been nervous about the National Piano Competition, standing next to this person and playing the piano, I feel like my heart is about to jump out.

Chu Tianmian began to play first, and the brisk tune flowed out, like a calm stream.

Su Chengyi counted the beats in his heart and added the monophony.

The main melody slowly approaches as if attracted by a single note, and the melody slowly overlaps, gradually reaching the climax of the whole piece.

After the splendid ensemble part, it returns to the solo of the main theme, like a stream disappearing into the sea.

In fact, it is a sad tune.

After Chu Tianmian finished playing the last note, he suddenly lost his mind.

Nothing happened, but I felt like I was missing out on a lot of things.

And Su Chengyi took over the lead and followed the previous paragraph at the end.

Chu Tianmian could easily tell which song this was.

"The promise to grow up together, so sincerely,

I can't stop talking to you about the past.

And I can't tell the difference, you're friendship,

Or missed love. ”
