On the plane to Vienna, Qi Mu couldn\u2019t be bothered to even throw a glance at the man beside him, rubbing the slight soreness at his waist. He was already kind enough not to elbow him, but to ask him to care?<\/p>

The blue sky and white clouds outside the window bore witness to the handsome man thoughtfully serving hot coffee to the young man beside him. In return, the young man snorted softly and took the provided air meal, then sat it on the small table. Despite the exchange, the young man still refused to look at him.<\/p>

Min Chen: “……”<\/p>

After a while, he leaned over, \u201cYou\u2019re not angry, you\u2019re not angry, you\u2019re not angry.\u201d<\/p>

Qi Mu: “……”<\/p>

A moment later, Min Chen repeated, \u201cYou\u2019re not angry, you\u2019re not angry, you\u2019re not angry.\u201d<\/p>

Qi Mu was thoroughly amused, \u201cI\u2019m angry!\u201d<\/p>

There was a smile in Min Chen\u2019s eyes. \u201cYou\u2019re not angry anymore.\u201d<\/p>

No matter how firm the idea was in Qi Mu\u2019s head, when he saw this man\u2019s \u201cyou can\u2019t bear to be angry with me\u201d expression, it completely vanished. He chuckled, \u201cIf your fans saw you like this\u2026 what would they say?\u201d<\/p>

Min Chen raised his eyes and asked rhetorically, \u201cDon\u2019t you appreciate me more?\u201d<\/p>

Qi Mu: “……”<\/p>

After a few seconds, Qi Mu said blankly, \u201cThere\u2019s a bug on your shoulder.\u201d<\/p>

Immediately, the man straightened, his eyes solemnly wide. He didn\u2019t dare breathe too loudly. Min Chen kept a calm look on his face, but demanded, word by word, \u201cWhere. Is. It\u2026.\u201d<\/p>

Qi Mu laughed loudly, \u201cHow are there bugs on a plane? You\u2019re thinking too much\u2026 eh\u2026\u201d<\/p>

Then, Qi Mu leaned in, \u201cAngry?\u201d<\/p>

Expressionless, Min Chen said, \u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>

\u201c… Really angry, ah?\u201d<\/p>

\u201c… No.\u201d<\/p>

Qi Mu\u2019s mouth twitched a little, and he helplessly sighed, \u201cActually really angry.\u201d<\/p>

Min Chen: “……”<\/p>

The long voyage was spent exchanging the two sentences, \u201cYou\u2019re angry\u201d and \u201cNo.\u201d It was evening by the time they arrived in Vienna. Gorgeous rays of sunlight dyed the sky in magnificent shades of purple, while the air\u2019s floral fragrance made the city feel lively as if it had yet to enter winter.<\/p>

Min Chen claimed he was angry, but when Qi Mu secretly took his hand between the seats, he just leaned over and playfully rubbed his cheek against Qi Mu’s hair like a large dog.<\/p>

The two gathered their luggage and took the shuttle to their apartment. As they walked, Qi Mu remembered, \u201cIs it okay if you don\u2019t go back and deal with Bai Ai\u2019s affairs? Though the members took a holiday two weeks ago, I remember Daniel, Christole, and you didn\u2019t have one.\u201d<\/p>

Min Chen shook his head, \u201cIt\u2019s been mostly dealt with. Daniel will email me the important information.\u201d<\/p>

Qi Mu didn\u2019t ask any further questions, and, together, the two got off the shuttle at three streets away from Min Chen\u2019s apartment. They had to walk the rest of the way.<\/p>

In a city so filled with classical music, Min Chen raised the collar of his coat and donned his sunglasses, covering his face.<\/p>

Even so, they\u2019d just taken two steps when they heard a cry from behind, \u201cGood\u2026 good heavens! It\u2019s you!!!\u201d<\/p>

Surprised, Qi Mu turned around to see a middle-aged woman carrying a vegetable basket, staring at them in shock. In the next second, she rushed over.<\/p>

Qi Mu reluctantly took two steps aside, intending to let the fan get closer to her idol, but when he took a step aside, so did the woman.<\/p>

Qi Mu: \u201c……?\u201d<\/p>

\u201cAre you Little Seven?! I\u2019ve heard your \u300aThe Marriage of Figaro<\/a>\u300b at the Palisade Theatre before. It was great! The best \u300aFigaro\u300b I\u2019ve ever heard! God, I didn\u2019t expect to see you on the street! What to do, what to do\u2026 I didn\u2019t bring pen and paper\u2026\u201d<\/p>

Qi Mu took the pen Min Chen silently handed over, still surprised. He wrote his name on a piece of paper and smiled, \u201cThank you for your affections. I\u2019m honored to bring you wonderful music. Thank you for your support.\u201d<\/p>

The woman became even more excited, \u201cI didn\u2019t expect you to be even more lovely up close, ah! Child, work hard! I like you, I will always support you!\u201d<\/p>

After a few more words of thanks, Qi Mu couldn\u2019t help but ask, \u201cErr\u2026 You really came for me, not for him?\u201d He still found it a little challenging to look at the man beside him.<\/p>

The middle-aged woman glanced at Min Chen and asked, \u201cWho is this man, ah?\u201d<\/p>

Qi Mu: “……”<\/p>

When the two men took up their suitcases and continued home, Qi Mu\u2019s handsome face was helpless. He shook his head. \u201cI didn\u2019t expect my performance at the Palisade Theatre to attract any fans\u2026\u201d<\/p>

When an orchestra performed with an opera, they played in the shadows under the stage like heroes behind the scenes.<\/p>

\u201cYour performance was excellent,\u201d the other man\u2019s melodious voice said from beside him, \u201cShe really likes your music.\u201d<\/p>

That startled Qi Mu, but he laughed and said, \u201cYou think too much. If that person recognized who you were just now, I doubt they would have asked for my signature at all.\u201d<\/p>

Along the narrow street, the man paused. Realizing he\u2019d stopped walking, Qi Mu turned back.<\/p>

Under the glory of the setting sun, Min Chen\u2019s profound face seemed a little more defined than usual. He shook his head. \u201cNo. Your music is no less than mine.\u201d<\/p>

The young man\u2019s light eyes widened. Then, after a long while, he smiled. \u201cYes, yes, yes. Not inferior to yours.\u201d Qi Mu changed the topic, \u201cWell, what should we eat tonight? There\u2019s nothing prepared, so we could eat hot pot? En, let\u2019s eat hot pot\u2026\u201d<\/p>

The dim light lengthened their shadows, making the dark silhouettes meet ambiguously on the flat road. Min Chen stared at the youth beside him, and his lips curled into a quick smile.<\/p>

He just\u2026 really wasn\u2019t lying.<\/p>

The young man\u2019s violin had unknowingly reached his level and wasn\u2019t inferior to him at all. In the near future, he would stand under the brightness of a thousand lights and let the entire world look up at him.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Palisade Theatre, after a month-long Christmas vacation, finally ushered in another training period.<\/p>

Qi Mu had been a part of the theatre for almost four months, and those four months had made him very popular in the orchestra.<\/p>

Even Wallace joked, \u201cLittle Seven, you\u2019re the youngest of our orchestra, or\u2026 could you be our mascot?\u201d<\/p>

That day, Little Seven finally remembered the \u201cdisgrace\u201d that was being called \u201cthe mascot & Little Angel.\u201d He shook his head righteously and said, \u201cMr. Wallace, I think that name is unsuitable for me. I\u2019m 22 years old this year.\u201d<\/p>

Wallace regretted not getting to call him that again, but a few members that overheard would often call him so in private. Even if Qi Mu tried to stop it, they would already retort with\u2014\u2014<\/p>

\u201cLittle Seven, don\u2019t be so humble!\u201d<\/p>

\u201cThat\u2019s Little Seven. How cute is our mascot, cute as my baby!\u201d<\/p>

\u201cHey John, your son\u2019s only three this year!\u201d<\/p>

……<\/p>

In such a lively atmosphere, the sense of laziness slowly dissipated. Within an hour, they were invested in their regular daily rehearsal.<\/p>

They had an early Christmas vacation because the PalisadeTheatre sent out invitations on Christmas Eve every year for a grand symphony concert. They treated it as a review of care for the past year.<\/p>

Ordinary theater orchestras provided music for operas, but that didn\u2019t mean the orchestra couldn\u2019t also hold symphonic concerts. Although they are unable to compete with Wei Ai, the world\u2019s top Symphony Orchestra in Vienna, the PalisadeTheatre orchestra was also first-rate and had a good reputation.<\/p>

Every year, the Palisade Christmas Eve concert attracted a large audience. The event was majestic and was sure to be a grand show. The repertoire that year was roughly the same as previous years, with songs such as \u300aAve Maria<\/a>\u300b, \u300aEmperor Waltz<\/a>\u300b, and \u300aThe Blue Danube<\/a>\u300b.<\/p>

Though the songs were the same, the performers had changed dramatically!<\/p>

Most of the audience who received the invitations were surprised to find out that the year\u2019s symphony concert was using the new concertmaster, and not the old concertmaster that just retired!<\/p>

The influence of a concertmaster on a concert was second only to the conductor. He led the entire first violin group and all the string instruments and could affect the performance of the whole orchestra.<\/p>

Many of the audience looked forward to this performance, but what they didn\u2019t know was, the Palisade Theatre at this time…<\/p>

Was arguing…<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
