At half past eleven, the rehearsal ended.

As soon as this side was over, Qin Jian hadn't left the concert hall and sent a text message to Duan Ran, but he didn't receive a reply from the other party.

"Qin Jian. ”

Tong Xin stopped Qin Jian and jumped off the stage with the instrument case.

"I'm really bothering you today. Qin Jian said with a smile.

"Don't bother, just invite me to a meal at noon. ”

Qin Jian was a little embarrassed, but Duan Ran didn't reply to the message for a long time, and it was estimated that he was about to come to power.

Thinking of it, he agreed to the other party.

Besides, the other party did him a great favor today, and he didn't want to owe this favor.

Led by Childlike Innocence, the two left the concert hall and went to a small restaurant nearby

During the meal, Qin Jian learned that the other party was a Hunan girl, who had been in Vienna for seven years, and was also from the Vienna University of Music and Performing Arts.

"Then do you know Liao Linjun?"

"I know, she's my senior sister, what's the matter, you know her?"

"She's my teacher, too. ”

"It was a coincidence that I had dinner with her last week. ”

With Liao Linjun's relationship, the two are more familiar.

A relaxed and enjoyable meal.

After the end, the two exchanged contact information.

"Bye. ”

"Bye. ”

...

After being busy here, on the way to Duan Ran's game site, Qin Jian received a call from the other party.

"It's over on my side," Duan Ran's excited voice came from the phone, "How are you doing over there?"

"How does it feel, I'm on my way to find you. Qin Jian replied.

"It's okay, anyway, it's not wrong, hehe, what are we going to eat at noon?"

"What to eat..."Qin Jian touched his bloated stomach, "Look at you." ”

"Okay, I'll wait for you at the door of the concert hall. ”

Duan Ran had just put away the phone when a ridiculous voice came from behind him.

"Who are you waiting for?"

Duan Ran was startled when he heard this, and hurriedly turned his head, looking at the man not far behind him, and couldn't help but cold his face, "Why are you here?"

"Suddenly arranged to come to Vienna on a business trip, so stop by to see you. The man smiled, "I played well today, especially Norma's memories, which played very well." ”

Duan Ran pursed his lips and did not speak.

At this time, the man walked over, took out a lanyard card from his handbag, and handed it to Duan Ran, "Such a big person, walking in a panic, I don't even know if things have fallen." ”

Take it, and if you lose it, no one will help you pick it up. ”

Looking at the participation card in the man's hand, Duan Ran subconsciously touched his pocket, and it was really empty.

"Thank you. ”

Muttering reluctantly, Duan Ran took over his lost participation card.

Looking at the girl in front of him who was pretending to be angry, the man smiled and said, "This time I came in a hurry, the time is relatively tight, and I can't wait to watch that stupid boy's game." ”

Duan Ran chuckled in her heart when she heard this, and looked at the man differently, but she couldn't analyze anything from the corners of the other party's smiling mouth.

"In addition, your teacher has been too busy in the past two days, and I didn't tell him that I was coming, so the next time you see him, you will take a good look for me, and by the way, let him have time to go back to Paris. ”

"Also, your game is over, the exam is getting closer and closer, you don't slack off, play for two days and go home almost immediately. ”

"Stay safe. ”

The man looked at his watch, "Okay, don't delay you and the others, the plane is about to take off." ”

As he spoke, he turned around and was about to leave.

The next second.

"Wait a minute. ”

At this moment, Duan Ran suddenly stopped the man.

"Have you eaten?"

The man paused, and stopped.

Turning to look at Duan Ran, he coughed seriously.

"How?"

"Is this to invite me to dinner at noon, and if so, I can change my flight. ”

"I just want to get to know your 'little friend' too. ”

The man deliberately accentuated the tone of the word 'child'.

"No, no... I didn't mean that. Duan Ran hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I mean you should at least eat something before you get on the plane." ”

"I see, that's a real disappointment. ”

The man smiled, turned and walked on.

"Still. ”

"I'll listen to your suggestions. ”

"Thank you for your concern. ”

The voice grew farther and farther away.

After a short time, the man stopped a taxi and disappeared to the side of the road.

Leaving Duan Ran, who was full of complexity, stood alone at the gate of the concert hall.

At this time, her mind was reminded of the scene outside the Paris airport a few days ago.

...

"I'm sorry Duan Ran, I've been too busy lately, there is no way to accompany you to Vienna to participate in the competition this time, you should pay attention to your own safety. ”

With just a few words, the man drove away.

...

Then I thought of what the man had just said.

Silly boy... Children...

Also, would he have also watched the ensemble competition, wouldn't it be that he and Qin Jian held hands for a curtain call.

Thinking of this, Duan Ran's mood became more complicated, his heart was beating like an allegro, and even his cheeks were red.

..

...

"Hey!"

At this moment, there was a sudden exclamation from behind, interrupting her thoughts and startling her.

"You hate it!!"

Listening to the familiar voice, Duan Ran turned around and glared at Qin Jian dissatisfied, "You're scared me to death!"

"I called you several times, but you didn't hear it yourself," Qin Jian felt a little aggrieved, "I don't know what I'm doing." ”

"Let's go, let's have lunch and apologize. ”

"Hmph~" Duan Ran snorted.

Qin Jian took the big bag in Duan Ran's hand, "Let's hurry up, the finals will start at four o'clock, don't delay watching the game." ”

......

The final of Mozart's work group, as the most important competition among all the categories of this competition, will be held in two days.

Make sure that each contestant has enough time and energy to complete the two pieces.

The order of entry is still based on the total number of points each player has earned in their own region.

As the first place in the Asian division, Qin Jian's appearance is naturally tomorrow.

After a light meal, the two hurried to the Brahms Hall in the Musikverein.

"I'll go, so many people!"

Looking at the dense audience in front of him, Qin Jian was a little upset.

Unlike the ensemble competition, the Brahms Hall was already full at this time.

With this participation card, the two barely found a position in the second company.

The game had not yet begun, but there was already a tense atmosphere at the scene.

In the middle of the spectator seat, the three rows of empty seats added a sense of solemnity to the game.

On the square table in each vacant seat is a sign with a person's name written on it.

Duan Ran counted, "You have a total of fifty judges. ”

A gong sounded in the concert hall.

Then there was a commotion in the hall.

The door of the corridor on one side was pushed open, and everyone looked away

Figures came out one by one.

Everyone's appearance was met with a round of applause.

"Chilman!"

"Kampteev!"

"Rigel!"

"Cremont!"

"Barbolen!"

"Teacher Shen!"

...

"The plastic surgery of this jury is too luxurious, isn't it..."

"Almost all of the world's most famous pianists have been moved by the organizing committee..."

"It's the finals..."

With all the judges seated, Riegel stepped onto the stage.

The speech begins.

Standard, Qin Jian doesn't understand English.

The contest is imminent.

...

...

Beijing time, 9:30 p.m.

Haishi Conservatory.

The lights were still on in the dean's office.

"Xiao Shizuko, about the choice of major, are you really not going to think about it again?"
