Chapter 111 The reason why Qingmei is Qingmei
“Is that why you know I play the erhu?”
“Well, in the first qualifying match, when the players were waiting backstage, I saw you.”
Chu Qingmian. Standing next to the piano, he recalled with a smile:
“I had participated in many competitions at that time, but this was the first time that there were all kinds of instruments in this hodgepodge. So I was a little nervous, and I was there. While secretly observing my opponents!
I saw a boy with a very good temperament, and I knew he was a strong enemy at a glance."
So that's it, from then on I silently regarded myself as an imaginary enemy.
Su Chengyi raised his eyebrows, He motioned for her to continue.
"What a proud expression you have, did you think I was talking about you!" ”
Chu Qingmian glanced at him sideways.
"Is he a cello player?
When I was thinking about how to deal with him if I met him, I saw a guy wearing blind sunglasses sitting in the corner with a slumped look on his face. Put a bowl in front of you. Yes, that's you!"
Su Chengyi was choked.
When Chu Qingmian said this, he remembered a little bit.
Maybe it’s because the song he played in the preliminaries was "Er Quan Ying Yue", and his style imitated A Bing.
At that time, the judges were all amused by his cold expression wearing sunglasses.
This program of "Le Touching People" is not mainly encouraging and friendly like other children's competitions, but it pays great attention to professionalism.
The judges have always been serious, and it is rare for them to laugh uncontrollably.
Su Chengyi is still very grateful for the pair of sunglasses when he thinks about it now.
Because it was his first time to participate in this kind of competition, the scrutiny of the audience and judges made him very, very nervous.
Fortunately, he had sunglasses, so he did it with his eyes closed the whole time.
Perhaps because of this, it really brings 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 student was eliminated from the preliminaries."
Mingming It happened many years ago, but Chu Qingmian remembered it very clearly.
“The piece I chose in the final is Liszt’s “The Bell”. Wow, I have really practiced this piece for a long, long time.”
Su Chengyi nodded. Liszt's music was very suitable for showing off skills and was the best type to use during competitions.
The exciting finals are all voted on. In addition to the judges, the votes of the audience are also very important.
If you play Bach or Mozart, a layman may not be able to tell the difference.
“When I finished playing, the teacher said to me with a smile that it was stable, and I felt stable too!
Because the judges were quite satisfied, so I didn’t I was anxious to go backstage and wanted to watch from the side because I had never seen other contestants perform before.
Good guy, it turns out that you didn’t even wait for the host to invite you, and went up with your erhu in your arms. I saw the look on your face and wanted to frame your face with the qualifying sunglasses. Because it's so stinky. ”
Under Chu Qingmian’s vivid description, Su Chengyi has almost recovered his dusty memory.
If his expression at that time looked very awkward, it would only be because He was so nervous that his facial features had no place to rest.
"Then you played "Autumn Moon in the Han Palace". Oh my God, this is the first time I know that Erhu can sound so good. Although I didn’t want to admit it at the time, I knew after listening to it that my number one spot was gone. ”
Indeed.
Su Chengyi wanted to run away as soon as the performance was over, but was held down by the host who rushed onto the stage. He stood there and listened to the judges' fancy praises for twenty minutes.
In the end, I won the first place without any surprise.
"That was the first time I got second place since I was a kid! I'm a little bit dissatisfied!"
Su Cheng nodded seriously,
"Then get used to it now."
Chu Qingmian glared at him, but didn't know how to retort.
"And you haven't come to accept the award yet, everyone is looking for you, and finally I found you hiding in the background watching the caterpillars queuing up. I am really speechless!"
Chu Qingmian thought I asked him to accept the award very politely, and even suppressed my bad mood and tried to put on a kind smile.
The abominable Su Chengyi turned around with an expression like "Why are you disturbing me when I'm doing business?" "Who are you?"
“I just learned about the caterpillar effect in science class at that time. I heard that they will blindly follow the caterpillars walking in front. I was curious if it was true.”
Su Chengyi explained seriously.
“Anyway, at that time, I felt that this person was an idiot. How could I be defeated by an idiot! I have to find my place!”
Speaking of this, Chu Qingmian Sighed deeply.
All the bad luck started with the breath she couldn't swallow at this time.
Since then, she has actively participated in various musical instrument competitions and won a lot of gold medals and certificates, but she has never met Su Chengyi again. So I found someone to inquire about his school.
When she was a junior high school student, she was playing around at home and went to No. 1 Middle School instead of going to the foreign language school next door.
In fact, this was not just a matter of choosing a school, it almost completely changed the trajectory of her life.
According to family arrangements, she will be sent to study abroad in high school, and she has even considered her job after graduation.
So Miss Chu began her life as the second child of ten thousand years.
In all these years, he has never succeeded in defeating this great god.
Like hitting a wall, Chu Qingmian ran after Su Chengyi for many years with the persistence of "I have to force myself".
"Actually, you don't have to be so stubborn. Tell me earlier and I can give you as many first places as you want."
Su Chengyi said with a smile.
“Who wants you to give in?”
Chu Qingmian waved her fist and said angrily.
But Su Chengyi suddenly thought that if he had not been reborn, he would never know about these things.
Not long ago, he had wondered why Chu Qingmian was so different from the children from wealthy families in his impression.
I don’t want to sit in the Maybach at home, but I have to squeeze into the subway.
She could easily live any life she wanted without studying hard, but she still chose to spend her time reading boring textbooks.
Why?
Why else?
She was just a girl living in the clouds. One day she suddenly met a strange boy who only lived in his own world.
So I traveled across mountains and rivers to see his world.
Unknown to him, the girl chased his back for so many steps, and he never looked back.
The distance between the two seemed very close, but in fact it was very far.
When did Chu Qingmian give up her obsession in the previous life?
Su Chengyi tried to remember, but he never attended any subsequent class reunions. He didn't care about the current situation of his old classmates at all. Naturally, he didn't know what happened to Chu Qingmian later.
When he looked at Chu Qingmian now, he had more complicated emotions.
"What's the matter? Okay, okay, if you really feel sorry for me, then... tomorrow, no, let me do it during the next weekly physics exam!"
Sensing some apology in his eyes, Chu Qingmian said with a cheerful smile.
Su Chengyi walked to the piano and said,
"Let's play a song together, "Lu Xiaoyu"."
Chu Qingmian was stunned for a moment and walked next to him.
Su Chengyi only put one hand on the keys, which meant that he was only responsible for playing a few simple single notes.
Chu Qingmian couldn't help but smile, put her hands on the keys, and took a deep breath.
What? I have never been nervous about the National Piano Competition. Standing next to this person playing the piano, I feel like my heart is about to jump out of my chest.
Chu Qingmian started playing first, and the brisk tune flowed out like a calm stream.
Su Chengyi counted the beats in his mind and added the single note.
The main melody slowly approaches as if attracted by a single note, and the melodies slowly overlap, gradually reaching the climax of the whole song.
After the splendid ensemble part, it returns to the main melody solo, like a stream disappearing into the sea.
It’s actually a sad song.
After playing the last note, Chu Qingmian suddenly became a little distracted.
Even though nothing happened, I felt like I missed a lot of things.
Su Chengyi took over the lead and continued the previous paragraph at the end.
Chu Qingmian easily recognized which song it was.
“The promise of growing up together, so sincere,
I can’t finish talking to you about the past.
But I can’t tell the difference anymore, you are friendship,
Still missed love. ”
