Juliet Tower

"Why did you choose this..." In recent years, Mendelssohn's Concerto in E minor has not appeared in An Jiayu's repertoire.

"I always feel that this is my starting point." An Jiayu shook his left hand, "But now is a new starting point, you can listen to it and see how it is different from seven years ago."

Seven years ago, it happened to be this concert hall, a phone call forced Qiao Yumian to leave early, and since then his life has taken a turn for the worse.

This is not surprising, life is inherently unpredictable.

Miraculously, going around and around, the beauty he thought had been lost came back to him.

Qiao Yumian confessed frankly: "Actually, I have never heard this song live." @HTht

In the full-length mirror, An Jiayu looked at him unexpectedly.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to lie to you..." It's been so long, he has no intention of defending himself.

The violinist hesitated for a while and turned around slowly, without blaming or asking: "It took Mendelssohn seven years to finally make it on stage."

An Jiayu took a deep breath and smiled confidently at him again: "Back then, neither I nor my qin were complete. But today, I will definitely not let you down."

The stands were full, Qiao Yumian turned off her phone, and waited quietly for the opening.

Unlike the impoverished musicians of that era, Mendelssohn was born in the upper class and was a veritable nobleman.One of the representatives of the romantic school of music, he combines prominent background, proud talent and elegance and handsomeness.

This kind of description is also appropriate for An Jiayu.

Qiao Yumian likes the cover of An Jiayu's album more than a year ago. The close-up of the characters is black and white. The loose ponytail is slanted on one shoulder, and the curly hair is not deliberately smoothed. , the smile at the corners of the brows and eyes seems to be absent, the white collar of the shirt is wide open, and the straight and slender neck is semi-dark, elegant and charming, but still has a sense of mystery.

The violin is held in his arms, and the only color in the picture is the soft and bright amber of the violin body.

The cover alone is enough to make people want to buy.

Of course, there are also harsh music critics, who either insinuate him for betraying his appearance, or despise him for relying on his mother, and his strength is overrated.

But as long as you are careful enough, it is not difficult to find that An Jiayu has never performed with An Zhen on the same stage in these years. In interviews, large and small, if the other party did not intend to mention it, he would not take the initiative to talk about family.

The overhead lights in the auditorium suddenly dimmed, Qiao Yumian withdrew her thoughts, and looked at the bright stage together with many listeners.

It opens with a symphonic poem, "The Swan of Tuonera."

A world-class orchestra and a world-renowned conductor. The moment the first note sounded, the huge concert hall was brought into a melody full of narrative by the emotions of the musicians. It's as if you came to the dim black river and listened to a swan's lament.

In just 10 minutes of the chapter, the atmosphere on the scene was completely different from that before the opening. After the silence and shock, people burst into applause.

It has to be said that after such an infectious performance, he began to sweat for An Jiayu.

However, the violinist still stepped onto the stage calmly, with a faint smile on his lips.

He stopped beside the podium and stood facing the dim auditorium. When he turned around, bright light jumped on the gemstones on his neckline, reflecting his pair of bright eyes.

He obviously couldn't see anyone clearly, but he seemed to see everyone clearly.

When he clamps the body of the piano and the bowstring touches, he only needs to give him a measure of time.

The lingering sadness that lingered in the air was easily broken by the fast and bright strings, and it was swept away in an instant.

It is faster, fuller and richer in detail than most versions Qiao Yumian has heard.

Although it is in the tonality of E minor, it does not make people feel sad and sad, but has a gorgeous and soft beauty.

Qiao Yumian couldn't help getting goose bumps all over his body, and he even heard the hissing sound of hissing breath from his neighbor.

An Jiayu's face is calm and calm, and her figure is as tall and straight as a pine, swaying gently with the clean and clear lines drawn by the melody.

Every phrase has been polished repeatedly, and every touch point is precise and neat.

Without any exaggerated expressions or body movements, he gently leaned towards the body of the violin, his left hand walked loosely on the strings, his right hand moved the bow smoothly, and the strength and angle matched seamlessly. every heart.

Rich emotion, precise intonation, blending power and softness, extremely delicate expressiveness.

An Jiayu calmed down his overly flamboyant emotions when he was a teenager, and Qiao Yumian thoroughly felt the difference in him after seven years. Every corner, every light, every heat, every breath, every breath in this huge concert hall Strands of thoughts are rushing to him, turning into his aura, turning into the delicate and beautiful tone on his strings, covering everything.

Everyone looked at the seemingly thin figure in the center of the stage with fascination, but it contained infinite power. Controlled by his magic, his breathing was sometimes rapid and sometimes slow, and his emotions were sometimes bright and passionate, and sometimes melancholy and quiet.

The violin turns a thousand times, and it is even more lonely and beautiful against the backdrop of the band.

Mendelssohn is amazing.

At this moment, the performers on the stage are even more integrated with this immortal melody that has been passed down for more than a hundred years.

An Jiayu complained more than once, complaining that she was born too late to see Heifetz, the god of violin, playing superbly.

"Heifetz...is he very good?" At that time, Qiao Yumian knew almost nothing about classical music.

"...not great. Let's put it this way, contemporary violinists can roughly be divided into two levels." An Jiayu narrowed his eyes, looking at the old album collection on the top shelf, "Heifetz, and other violinists. He should be The stars in the eyes of the violinist are towering mountains."

At this moment, Qiao Yumian looked at the violinist who had matured after seven years of tempering, and couldn't help feeling hot in his eyes. His understanding of music was still quite shallow, but it didn't prevent him from believing that the person on the stage would one day become the majestic violinist of this era. of the mountains, became one of the shining stars.

There is a deep love hidden in the melody, An Jiayu devoutly loves the violin, classical music, the stage, and this world.

Amid the thunderous applause, An Jiayu was no longer that ignorant, lively and enthusiastic young man who would get carried away at every turn. He calmly called off the curtain, shook hands and hugged the conductor, and bowed deeply to the audience.

The stage lights went out, and Qiao Yumian sat alone in the empty auditorium to wake up, the gorgeous and romantic melody in E minor still reverberating in his mind.

The band came from afar, and An Jiayu hadn't cooperated with them for a long time. After the performance, it was natural to do the friendship of the landlord and exchange pleasantries.A week later, he will continue his tour with the orchestra in two other cities.

Vicky handed over the performance dress and the sweet bouquet to Qiao Yumian for An Jiayu: "He said it would be a little delay, so you don't have to wait for him to go home first."

"Okay, thank you." Qiao Yumian called to stop the girl who was about to turn around, "Don't let him drink."

The girl looked embarrassed: "Well, I will try my best... If I can't stop it, I will mention you. Hey."

Fingerprint unlocked, pushed open the door, Amber and Joyce were already sitting in front of the door.

Qiao Yumian stretched out a hand in front of him, making a blocking gesture, meaning not to move, and the two little guys really didn't move.

It seems well-behaved, but the tail is wagging like a propeller, and the puffs are puffing from the nostrils. The puppies are trying their best to control themselves not to pounce.

Seeing them enduring so hard, Qiao Yumian squatted on the floor mercifully: "Come on."

His entire face was immediately licked to the point of drooling.

He straightened the plaid vests on the two dogs. An Jiayu said that the coats were too short when they were sent for grooming this time. Auntie bought a box of clothes because she was afraid they would catch cold.

Before leaving for Kenya this time, the house had just been ventilated, and the furniture hadn't arrived yet.This was the first time Qiao Yumian took a closer look at his new home.

The living room has floor heating, and it is very warm when you step on it.

The curtains have a layer of white gauze and a layer of beige, the leather sofa is ginger, and the furniture is log color. The space is open and bright.There are two identical kennels in one corner, with fluffy blankets and their favorite plush toys inside.

The yard was a bit lonely in early winter, and he hadn't figured out whether to plant a mini red maple or add some ground cover plants.

Joyce suddenly scratched its calf, and he picked up the dog that had grown up in a circle after half a month's absence: "Would you like to go to the small park?"

After flying for more than ten hours, I went to the studio to record the vlog live and listened to the whole concert.He obviously hadn't rested for a long time, but he didn't feel sleepy at all. He just felt that the flame in his chest was ignited and refused to go out. The whole person was excited, excited for An Jiayu's performance, excited for the first night spent in his new home Excited, he just wants to find something to do now.

Two little guys who looked exactly the same stared at him with their heads tilted.

Qiao Yumian walked to the shoe cabinet at the door, and took out the retractable leashes of the two brothers and sisters, one black and one red, and they finally jumped up belatedly, circling around his feet.

On an early winter night, the streets of the community were deserted, and they strolled all the way to the grassland in the park. Qiao Yumian repeatedly confirmed that there was no one around, then let go of the leash, and accompanied them to play a game of frisbee throwing under the street lights for a long time.

The two dogs are like two moving aromatherapy machines, running and spraying out patches of white mist from their mouths.

When they got home, An Jiayu's coat had already been thrown at the door.

Looking in the direction of the bedroom, there are shirts, casual trousers, two socks, and black ribbons for tying hair along the way.

He picked them up one by one, passed by the cloakroom and threw them into the laundry basket, and then pushed open the bathroom door.

There was a thick layer of dense bubbles floating on the surface of the water, and the man lay in it with his eyes closed, and he didn't know if he was feigning sleep or falling asleep without a long memory.
