Rebirth of Huaijing

The next day, I went downstairs to the restaurant to eat, and saw Elder Lin standing and talking to a man in his 60s and [-]s from a distance. As he was talking, Elder Lin saw Zhou Huaijing, and he didn't know what he said. The man also turned his head. come and see him.

Elder Lin waved to Zhou Huaijing, Zhou Huaijing looked up at Lu Yi, and walked over with him after Lu Ye nodded.

"Xiao Song, this is my student Zhou Huaijing, Huaijing, this is Song Qing who is leading the team from China to participate in the competition, you can call him Teacher Song." Elder Lin introduced.

Zhou Huaijing's tone of greeting always had a different kind of seriousness: "Mr. Song is good."

Song Qing smiled and nodded: "Hello." He had heard that Mr. Lin had recruited a disciple in China.Mr. Lin has not recruited new students for more than 20 years. The former students have become celebrities in the circle. This time, he suddenly recommended a new student to participate in the competition. Many people were still surprised, especially this new student, who had never heard of it before. There doesn't seem to be much of a bright spot.

Song Qing looked at the handsome young man in front of him, his brows were very handsome, his pupils were clear and dark, his eyes were very clear, but because they were too penetrating, they seemed slightly strange.He knew that Mr. Lin had always been strict, so it could be seen that Zhou Huaijing would not be used as cannon fodder because he was not good at learning, but he just didn't know how deep it was.

Song Qing turned his eyes to Lu Yi who was beside Zhou Huaijing, seeing his extraordinary appearance, he asked in surprise, "Who is this?"

Elder Lin glanced at Lu Yi angrily, but still gave enough face and said, "This is Huaijing's relative, Lu Yi."

Song Qing seldom paid attention to things other than music, and Lu Yi was barely a low-key person, so he didn't recognize him for a while, and just thought he was a relative or friend who came to cheer Zhou Huaijing, and smiled and stretched out his hand and said, "Hello."

Lu Yi didn't seem to see his outstretched hand, nodded casually, and gave a cold "hmm".

The scene was a bit awkward for a while, but fortunately, Song Qing was sensible, silently withdrew his hand, looked at the distance and said with a smile: "Those children have come down, I will take them to dinner first, and I will meet you in the afternoon."

Elder Lin said "OK" and made an appointment with him after the lunch break, and planned to do some pre-match guidance by the way.

Although only nine people came to the competition including Zhou Huaijing, more than half of them brought relatives and friends.On the one hand, most of those who learn music and have learned this level are taught by famous teachers and have a good family background. When they go abroad with their families, the state does not give subsidies, and they themselves are not short of money. In the second half of the year, the Spring Festival is over. Since they are here, of course they are here for the trophy. Few people plan to go home after the first round. Those who have the conditions simply set the plan until the end of the three games, and simply celebrate the New Year abroad.

Tomorrow will start the first game, which lasts three days, and there will be a five-day break after the end, and then the second game will last for two days, and then there will be another seven days of rest, and finally the final final, where cameras will be set up Go live.

Since the game will start the next day, family members are not allowed to follow today, and the whole team must act in unison. They must also stay in the room after meals and not go out, so as to prevent important matters from not being notified in time.

A group of people gathered, Song Qing counted some people, frowned and asked, "Where is Duan Linxia?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and one replied, "I just saw that she seemed to have left the hotel."

Song Qing frowned even tighter, saying that he could not leave the hotel, why would he seek trouble at such a time?Just as she was about to lose her temper, a girl with long curly hair ran over in a hurry, her beautiful face was full of apologies, and she panted and said, "Teacher Song, I'm sorry, I have to go out for a while."

Seeing that she was sincere in admitting her mistake, Song Qing just gave her a cold look: "Okay, since everyone is here, let's have lunch first, and I will take you to meet someone in the afternoon."

Everyone dispersed to order food, and Duan Linxia also followed, thinking about what happened just now.

Her family was in a good family, this time her father was unable to come because of work, so her mother accompanied her to the capital of country M. Country M is one of the famous music capitals. Both classical music and popular music are world-renowned. In addition to music, art, painting, sculpture, literature and other arts have produced world-renowned masters. My mother likes opera. The famous opera house happened to have a performance recently. We're on tour, so it's good to be together.

The trouble is, her uncle's daughter, her cousin Duan Xiaofu also came along.Duan Linxia hated that younger sister since she was a child. When she was a child, her parents always liked to compare her with her cousin, which is fine. After all, she was inferior, but the more she grew up, the more she found that her cousin was really vain and hypocritical. error.Duan Linxia was angry and became more serious, and now she has left Duan Xiaofu behind.

After waking up this morning, Duan Xiaofu pestered her and asked to go out together. She refused and used righteous words to oppress Teacher Song. Turn and come back, as long as you don't get caught.

Duan Linxia held her breath in her heart, and took her cousin out for a casual walk. The sister disappeared for a while on the way. She was worried that she would lose her, and she would be blamed when she went back. She could only look for someone. When she found it, she saw Duan Xiao Fu said with a smile on her face that she accidentally lost her way.Duan Linxia almost rolled her eyes, seeing that there was not enough time, she dragged her back in a hurry.When he walked to the door, Duan Xiaofu accidentally bumped into someone and soiled the other's black leather shoes. A handsome western boy frowned and stared at her. He didn't know what to think, and left as soon as his eyebrows eased.

Duan Linxia was relieved to see that the other party was not entangled, but saw the younger sister standing there with a blushing complexion, and said, "Lin Xia, was the look he gave me just now very gentle?"

The corner of Duan Linxia's mouth twitched: ... No, I just saw that he raised his foot and planned to step on it back. I don't know why he gave up in the end, probably because he was hindered by public places...

Duan Linxia secretly regretted it, if that kick could step back Duan Xiaofu's self-esteemed vanity, how great would it be?Sometimes she really can't stand Duan Xiaofu's pretending, her uncle's family is no better than her own, and Chen Guang was also entrusted by his father to get in. Duan Xiaofu can coax the elders at home, and he has never seen a word of thanks outside. After all, it is to save face. This is actually understandable, but I can't bear to come to her to "borrow" some shoes and bags from time to time.Especially sometimes when taking pictures, pretending to post something good inadvertently, and being praised by others like "Goddess, that XX limited edition, it's great", she reservedly and coldly replied "It's okay. Thank you"...Duan Lin Xia decisively threw her news into the small black room, never intending to unlock it.

**

After dinner in the afternoon, Zhou Huaijing and Lu Yi took a short rest in the room and then went to the meeting room booked by Mr. Lin, which was already full of people.

"This is my student Zhou Huaijing, and he is also one of the nine contestants." Mr. Lin introduced simply. After all, it is the first round. It is estimated that there will be three or five left in a competition. It is not bad to know more about it. It's too late, and besides, it's not a team competition, as long as it's decent.

A group of people looked at Zhou Huaijing and Lu Yi with different expressions, Zhou Huaijing looked gloomy, he didn't like being stared at like this, and acted very indifferent.

Elder Lin said a few words casually, Lu Yi said: "Huaijing is not feeling well, I will take him back first."

Mr. Lin nodded. His student still had to be protected, and he didn't intend to let him stay here, so he was taken away by Lu Ye.

On the same day, Mr. Lin got the order of appearance. Zhou Huaijing was No. 15, which was relatively high, and the first day would be over.After dinner, Mr. Lin specially came to explain the repertoire for the next day, and before leaving, he added a meaningful sentence of "have a good rest" before leaving.

Lu Birds and Beasts: ...

In the evening, Ali sent Mr. Wu prepared a small suit, and Lu Yi helped Zhou Huaijing take off the sweater on his body, put on a white shirt first, stood in front of the mirror and embraced the boy in his arms, and helped him one by one. Button up.Then put on the trousers, zip up the trousers, fasten the buttons, and finally put on a black suit jacket, and tie a dark blue and almost black bowknot in front of the center of the collarbone.

The young man in the mirror has delicate eyebrows and clear pupils.

Zhou Huaijing picked the bow tie with her fingers, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and the light cast a faint shadow, which made her look a bit shy.Lu Yi couldn't help but want to take off half of Zhou Huaijing's clothes, there must be a sense of joy that blasphemed the dignity.

He flicked his fingers around Zhou Huaijing's waist nervously, and was about to make a move, only to hear Zhou Huaijing blushing slightly, scratching in pain and saying, "Oh... Second Uncle... so tight..."

Lu Yi silently withdrew his fingers: ...

Drive to the concert hall the next morning.

The concert hall is named after the capital and was built in the last century. It was originally the historic Royal Opera House, which was destroyed in the war and later converted into a concert hall. The panel and the chandelier are also white crystal inlaid gold-edged chandelier in line with the overall style, which is elegant and noble at a glance.

The contestants come from all over the world, and there are professional international pianists as judges for each performance. All previous judges have unearthed outstanding pianists for the world, and some of them have even become great masters.

Zhou Huaijing just arrived outside the concert hall, sitting in the car and looking at the statues of 18th century musicians standing outside the concert hall, as if he was looking at something, his clear eyes passed through time and space and fell on the sky of this era.

There was still a handkerchief in Zhou Huaijing's trousers pocket, Lu Yi checked it, but didn't intend to pull it out, and let him put it next to his body.

After getting out of the car and entering the infield, Zhou Huaijing was waiting for the notification in the background, but Lu Yi was about to leave at this moment.Zhou Huaijing's heart tightened, and he grabbed Lu Yi's sleeve reflexively.The sense of fear that has been neglected for a long time only emerges when it comes to an end.

Lu Yi held his finger and gently took him away. It was rare to have a strange sense of pride in being relied on, and said: "Don't be afraid, I will watch you from the audience."

Zhou Huaijing pursed her lips and looked at him silently.

The dark and stubborn eyes that looked at him could arouse Lu Yi's desire for love, but due to the occasion, Lu Yi only pressed his cheek, and then hurriedly stepped off the stage.

Lin Lao was originally invited to be a judge, but because Zhou Huaijing's participation needed to avoid suspicion, he finally gave up participating in the judging.At this time, he stayed with Zhou Huaijing in the backcourt, and went over to comfort him after the hot eye scene was over, but saw Zhou Huaijing suddenly took out a checkered handkerchief from his pocket, put it on his nose and sniffed it lightly , the tension seems to be relieved.

Elder Lin who recognized the owner of the handkerchief: ...

A few people didn't notice that Duan Linxia was also in the backcourt, and a girl with a strangely red face stood beside her.

Duan Linxia suddenly saw Duan Xiaofu's expression as if he had eaten a bowl of Xiang for breakfast, and he couldn't even speak.As if it was a hallucination, after only a few moments, Duan Xiaofu returned to his normal expression, smiling gently.

Duan Linxia didn't bother to care about her inner drama, but subconsciously distanced herself from her and went to talk to her mother.It was the first time for her to participate in such a large-scale competition, and she was a little nervous, holding her mother's hand and sweating slightly.

There were 15 people in this game in the morning, and the backcourt was big enough without being crowded.Because the atmosphere was tense, there were only occasional low voices.

When Phil came in, he immediately attracted attention.His sunny face, fair skin and golden hair, coupled with a pair of deep emerald blue eyes, cannot be ignored by anyone.

Phil saw Zhou Huaijing sitting on the sofa at a glance, with a drunken blush floating on his face, he walked over quickly, his eyes stared at Zhou Huaijing's beautiful hands lovingly and almost obsessively for the first time, and then slowly Slowly moving to Zhou Huaijing's expressionless face, he called the other person's name stiffly: "Huaijing, today is a good day."

Holding the handkerchief, Zhou Huaijing silently raised her head to look at him, then lowered her head to ignore him.

Phil sat directly next to him, and wanted to whisper to him, but Zhou Huaijing avoided him mercilessly.Phil refused to let go, and was about to entangle him again, when a hand in the middle came in.He raised his head, facing the cold and hard face of Mr. Shanglin's old tree bark, he had to give up after thinking about it.

"I'll be the first to play later." Phil smiled sweetly, stood up, looked down at Zhou Huaijing with an expectant smile, "I'm really looking forward to your performance." Then he walked away.

Phil No.1 came on stage, and the outside performance could be seen through the big screen in the room.

As soon as he sat in front of the piano, his expression was stern, not as arrogant as before, and he was so serious that he seemed to be kneeling in front of a god to repent.

Different from the juvenile group, this competition held to discover young musicians allows the use of predecessors' works in the first two rounds, while the finals need to create their own.

The first track Phil chose, "Light of God", was composed by the religious fanatic Bahrain. He was born in a musical family in a small city in the country M at the end of the 17th century. He studied in the choir next to him and was successfully admitted to the seminary. After he became an adult, he worked as a court musician and spent the rest of his life in an ancient Gothic church. He was blind in his later years and never enjoyed a great reputation.His later works are far more than his early works, but all of them are religious sacred music, and every piano is a confession and praise to God.This great down-and-out composer lived a life of ups and downs, but in his later years he found a moment of peace at God's feet.

Phil has a violent temper, but he is an out-and-out Christian. God's teachings to him probably only work in music. If he leaves the piano, he may have forgotten those confessions and determinations.

When the sound of the piano resounded throughout the entire concert hall, the prelude crazily carried the aura of destroying heaven and earth, and the hostility seemed to become fine, devouring everyone's souls.But gradually, the sound of the piano seemed to be injected with the light of God. God lovingly comforted all the pain. He asked Jesus to come to bear the sins of mankind and rescue people who were addicted to pain, jealousy and resentment.

Grace comes, and God judges.

The age of light has returned to this world, like a paradise of Eden filled with love forever.

Zhou Huaijing listened to Phil playing the piano almost in pain at the beginning, such a directly disgusting sound of the piano is rare, it seems to lure out all the sins in people's hearts.Fortunately, the sound of the piano changed later, as if purifying people's hearts.

As soon as Phil was over, a young man came up to the stage, his hands trembling so much that he could hardly play, barely playing a song like a beginner.

Zhou Huaijing was the last one in the morning session, so he had plenty of time and went to the restroom halfway.

After coming out of the toilet and walking in the long corridor, suddenly a handkerchief was blown by the wind, flying over the tip of his nose, carrying a scent.

The pink handkerchief floated to the ground, and he lowered his head to look at the handkerchief.

A gentle voice came: "Sorry, that's my handkerchief."

Zhou Huaijing raised her head, and a handsome face appeared in front of her, which seemed a little familiar.Zhou Huaijing tried hard to think about it, but couldn't remember it.

The girl blushed and said, "Excuse me, can you pick it up for me?"

Zhou Huaijing looked at her dumbly, then suddenly opened his mouth and sneezed loudly.As if he didn't hear it, he walked around the handkerchief at his feet, then around the girl in front of him, and walked straight forward.

Duan Xiaofu's blushing face suddenly turned pale, and his expression appeared distorted: ...

The author says:

Bahrain is empty, the concert hall is empty, and country M is empty, but they all have prototypes.

It's not that Phil likes Zhou Huaijing, but his hands... This is a delicate person, and he won't play many times.

Duan Xiaofu's cannon fodder, the number of appearances will not be many.
