________________________

Mu Kang had seen enough of Lin Yan, and Lu Xifeng had seen enough of the idiot Mu's tricks.The three melon-eaters who watched the bloody drama for seven years sent Mu Kang home with only two points of sanity left, and then dispersed with emotion.

Mu Kang seldom hangover. When he woke up at ten o'clock the next morning, his energy was refreshed. The trickle of affection he showed to the camera last night was still viciously erased by the soul of scum

He was half lying on the sofa, with a cigarette in his right hand, and his left hand flicked across the inbox, and suddenly stopped on an email sent at 05:30 in the morning.

The title of the email is "Elves in the Forest" and the sender is EvanLin.

The god of destiny finally came and dealt a fatal blow to the soul of the scum.

Mu Kang stood up abruptly, his heart beating fast.The "first smoke in the morning" that he hadn't had time to enjoy was ruthlessly extinguished in the ashtray. Mu Kang walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the early spring sunlight pierced the moist mist in the air, shyly falling on his naked abdominal muscles, which also reflected his The light of hope in the eyes.

The email was written in English, with only two short sentences:

Dear Kang,

Attached please find therevisedscore. Let me know your thoughts.

Best,

Yan

There was neither greetings nor eloquence, but Mu Kang seemed to see A Yan who was smiling clearly through these few words.

With a smile on his lips, he quickly emailed Lin Yan back:

Dear Yan,

Received with thanks. Willlet you know updates asap.

Regards,

Kang

It seemed as if the long winter had finally ended, as if a drowning man had finally obtained oxygen, as if a fire suddenly lit up in the boundless darkness, Mu Kang, who was so annoyed by tunnel warfare and plagiarism incidents that he shouted "the world is not worth it" every day, felt his own The world is finally worth it again.

He typed out the score sent by Lin Yan, scanned the notes at a glance, and found that Lin Yan had added a few simple percussion parts on his own, which was exactly the same as what he had thought before.

The score was handwritten by Lin Yan again, with familiar and gentle strokes, exactly the same as the handwriting on the wall of Mu Kang's house.Even though it was a scanned and printed copy, Mu Kang still couldn't put it down and couldn't let go of it.

Mu Neuropathy started a new round of acting as a monster. He took out the previously clipped score from the bedside table and revised it line by line with Lin Yan's score. His handwritten score was changed beyond recognition.

Lin Yan's version was clean and tidy, and he put it in the file folder and laid it on Mu Kang's bedside.

Mu Kang didn't go out all day, and buried himself in front of the piano changing "The Elf in the Forest".Lin Yan changed several parts to be more suitable for children to play, and added a few playful percussion, and Mu Kang added some harmony changes on this basis.Until night fell, the piece seemed to have taken shape, and it was an excellent student wind band work that could be published.

Mu Kang let out a long breath, and there were sandwich boxes and cold coffee scattered around his hands.He stood up and stretched. The floor-to-ceiling windows were facing a bright moon. The moonlight was alluring, silently conveying the thoughts thousands of miles away.

What is Ayan doing now?I really want to ask him, but how?Are you emailing him again?

Mu Kang clicked his tongue and raised his hand to light his first cigarette of the day.

He opened the email, hesitated for a while with his finger on the "reply", then quit, and clicked into WeChat instead.Li Chongyuan's profile photo was bright red, and there was a link to the video sent an hour and a half ago.

-Grandfather: Look.

Mu Kang froze for a moment, then opened in doubt.

The opening title of the video is a colorful cartoon villain playing the piano in the grass moving with the wind, playing Schubert Impromptu No. 1.After finishing the opening theme, the camera turned, and a beautiful girl with brown hair and green eyes spoke a standard British accent and warmly greeted the audience.

It looks like a talk show on a British TV station.

The lighting in the studio is warm in tone, showing solemnity and warmth.The girl smiled and said, "Please allow me to be honored to introduce today's special guest—conductor Evan Lin."

Mu Kang quickly pressed the pause button.

Just kidding, how can such a small screen of a mobile phone be enough to see A Yan.

Mu Kang sent the link to his mailbox, poured himself a glass of red wine first, then Shi Shiran walked to the study, opened the video on the computer, held the wine in his left hand, and held a cigarette in his right, and sat leisurely on the big soft chair to enjoy Lin Yan's interview.

Lin Yan was wearing a dark blue casual suit, the cuff buttons were shining low-key, his delicate face looked very pleasing to the eye under the light, every word, every breath was well-measured in his conversation, and his every move was the decent iron that Mu Kang was familiar with. post.

The interview first talked about Group L's tour, the girl joked: "We all know that Mr. Lin is very popular, there will be fans screaming during the performance, like a pop singer's concert."

Lin Yan said politely: "I am also very grateful that they like me."

Host: "Does Group L have plans to release new recordings recently?"

Lin Yan: "We will cooperate with Carlos to release a set of French orchestral works, which should be released in the second half of the year."

The host asked: "What about you? Mr. Lin?"

"The plan is still in progress, but I can disclose a little bit." Lin Yan showed a slight smile, "I plan to premiere some new works with the L group and release them in the form of live recordings."

Mu Kang shrank his fingers holding the cigarette.

The host asked curiously: "Really? Which composer's work is it?"

Lin Yan: "Our team is inviting several composers, and I am only in charge of one of them."

Mu Kang stared at the smiling Lin Yan on the screen, and slowly sat up straight, unaware that the soot fell on the floor.

"Which composer? Can you tell me?" the host asked.

"A genius composer and a friend of mine, his name will be kept secret for the time being." Lin Yan shrugged and said helplessly, "Because he hasn't promised me yet."

The host raised his eyebrows: "Even Mr. Lin will be rejected, that composer must be great, isn't he busy?"

"Extremely busy." Lin Yan sighed and said firmly, "But I will not give up, because he is the best."

Heis the best.

This sentence was uttered by Lin Yan intolerable, the blood in Mu Kang's whole body rushed to his head in an instant, and Mu Kang, who had always been headstrong and self-centered, suddenly became as timid as a mouse at this moment.

The cigarette burned stubbornly and burned his hands. Mu Kang impatiently put out the cigarette, and he seemed to hear his own violent heartbeat in his ears.He stared at the screen motionlessly, thinking cautiously: What A Yan said...was it me?

Host: "I'm really curious about this composer. Forgive me, Mr. Lin. Can you really not disclose any information about him?"

Lin Yan seemed to be in a bit of a dilemma. He lowered his eyes and thought for a while, and finally said, "I can play a piece of his composition on the piano."

The host immediately said happily: "Great, please, Mr. Lin."

The camera zoomed out, and the piano on the other side of the studio gradually appeared in the frame. Lin Yan took off the microphone from his collar and handed it to the host, walked to the piano and sat down.

The camera is focused on Lin Yan's white hands, the palm joints on the keys are perfectly curved, the knuckles are distinct and upright, and the right thumb is placed on the black key bA4.

At that moment, Mu Kang's fearful and apprehensive heart fell to reality as if the clouds were clear.He only needs to look at the position of Lin Yan's hands to recognize that it is the first chord of the piano part in "Sleepy Spirit".

Without warning, the sound of the piano roared, shattering the silence in the studio, as if someone who had been comforted all this time suddenly struggled hard beyond everyone's expectations.

That's right, that's it.

Mu Kang took a sip of wine, happy and nostalgic, and found the picture of youth that was in full bloom in the corner of his memory.

What the piano undertakes in "Sleepy Spirit" is the emotional transition from struggling to retreating. Although contradictory, it is not painful.The music depicts a creature who suddenly thrusts a sharp sword into his chest but feels no pain. His body bleeds and trembles uncontrollably, but his mood is peaceful and peaceful.

The first topic dedicated to Mu Dacai is for inquiries, and the second topic is for answers.

The first subject asks, "Are you in pain?"

The second subject replied: "Pain."

The first subject asked again: "Do you regret it?"

The second subject replied, "I don't regret it."

"The Betrayal of Confused Souls" was jointly written by Mu Kang and Lin Yan. It is alone and never accepts discipline. It is completely different from the nondescript adaptation performed by Su Qing.

In the video, Lin Yan played with all his heart.This piece of piano has strong emotions, complex chords, and extremely high technical requirements. Lin Yan's palm has always maintained a bow shape spanning ten degrees, jumping back and forth, showing double images. beads of sweat.

Lin Yan played all the "struggle" pieces, and the sound of the piano stopped at a diminished seventh chord, implying that the whole work has not yet been shown.

The camera showed the shocked expression of the host, the girl opened her mouth, tears were faintly seeping from her green eyes, and she murmured: "My God."

In the video, there was an endless stream of admiration and cheers from the staff behind the scenes. The host quickly walked over and hugged Lin Yan, and kept saying, "It's incredible, it's incredible, Mr. Lin, you and your friend, we God, you guys are amazing!"

The video cuts out the concluding part of the interview, and it ends here.

Mu Kang stared at the stilled display screen without moving for a long time, his eyes were dark and indifferent, as if his soul had gone out of his body, and he couldn't see any emotion.

The hustle and bustle of the city is endless at night, and Yu Xiaoyan accepts the duplicity of coming and going.Everyone is practicing hardening their hearts, putting on a fake smile, and putting on a mask, so as to integrate the joy, anger, sorrow, and joy that once galloped in the soul into the turmoil of the world.

Even doors and windows can't stop the feasting and feasting bound by indifference.

But it failed to enter the study.

Mu Kang finally responded.He drank the remaining red wine in the glass, got up and went to the CD cabinet to take out the recording of Krystian Zimerman's Schubert Impromptu, and put it on the stereo in the corner.

The sound of Zimerman's piano is like a pair of gentle and delicate hands, gently touching the disfigured face of the listener, trying to heal the endless pain.

On the west side of the study is a bookcase embedded in the wall, which is full of music scores, half of which are original scores collected by Mu Kang from all over the world, and the other half are the composer's own handwritten manuscripts.They are obviously beautiful, precious and valuable treasures, but they have been alone for a long time and fell out of favor early on.They silently watch their masters who should be full of love for them, as if watching the struggling soul in "Sleepy Spirit".

Mu Kang closed his eyes under the comfort of Schubert and Zimerman.

There are so many days and nights in the world, and so many souls have betrayed the once sacred beliefs. This is a personal choice, and it should be accepted calmly.

But there are always people who are unwilling to do so, and torture themselves into a pale appearance.

So it's not the story of The Sleepy Spirit, it's not the story of the martyrs.

This is the story of Mu Kang and his soul mate, unyielding ups and downs.
