outsiders understand the situation best<\/a>\u201d. In fact, when they listened to Qi Mu\u2019s performance tonight, Min Chen never said a word. He had an inexplicable sense of familiarity when he heard Qi Mu\u2019s solo as if he knew the way his performance echoed in his ears. It was very familiar.<\/p>\nAt times, things are too familiar to say what about it was familiar.<\/p>\n
Min Chen removed his gaze and concealed the look in his eyes.<\/p>\n
At first, he thought that Qi Mu\u2019s style was similar to a certain person he knew. But after hearing Karl\u2019s words, it seemed to be himself.<\/p>\n
Min Chen looked at Qi Mu meaningfully after making a judgment in his mind. For the first time, he met someone with \u201ca style similar to his.\u201d Especially. . . this person played the violin, which was different from his own preference.<\/p>\n
This was very interesting.<\/p>\n
Min Chen didn\u2019t know that his sense of familiarity was not the same as Professor Karl\u2019s. Ever since he could remember, Min Chen had heard countless sounds. The chaotic noise of nature, the melodies of musical instruments, and the sound of strings being plucked. He had even heard Lu Zi Wen\u2019s solo in private, but he had never listened to his \u300aE Minor\u300b or\u300aTzigane\u300b.<\/p>\n
Music was interlinked. When someone played a song, unconsciously, they would incorporate their own style. In fact, Min Chen actually heard Lu Zi Wen\u2019s style this time but his mind couldn\u2019t lead him down that absurd direction. So he missed this opportunity to discover the truth.<\/p>\n
The others present had yet more ideas that were different from Min Chen\u2019s. They were surprised to hear that Professor Karl\u2019s evaluation of Qi Mu was actually that high.<\/p>\n
Similar to Min Chen? What kind of evaluation was that? Could it be. . . that he could become the next Min Chen?!<\/p>\n
Daniel couldn\u2019t help but pay more attention to Qi Mu.<\/p>\n
The sky was completely dark by this time, but the city never slept, even at night. The bright light from the gate shone on the youth\u2019s white face, contrasting with his red coat and making his smile appear even more beautiful.<\/p>\n
He nodded politely and smiled, \u201cThank you for the compliment. I am honored.\u201d<\/p>\n
Professor Karl nodded and said: \u201cActually. . . I want to thank you for today. You let my silly student let go of that matter so he can finally come with me to Munich without worries. I owe you a favor this time. Qi Mu, if there\u2019s anything, you can come to me in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n
Now, the people present were even more perplexed. Except for Min Chen whose eyes narrowed slightly as he seemed to have come to an understanding. Qi Mu was surprised for a moment but then he laughed, \u201cThank you, Professor Karl.\u201d<\/p>\n
Karl was planning to leave but just before he left, he suddenly remembered something and hurriedly returned to ask, \u201cDaniel, when are you going back to Germany? Let\u2019s take the flight together so we can accompany each other.\u201d<\/p>\n
Daniel said, \u201cMy flight is the day after tomorrow. I\u2019ve already booked a ticket.\u201d<\/p>\n
Professor Karl was shocked then overjoyed, \u201cAs it happens, my flight is also on the day after tomorrow. Auston, is that yours too? Then the three of us, oh, plus my silly student, that makes the four of us, can go together.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not going back this year.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cGoing back together. . . What? You\u2019re not going?!\u201d Professor Karl\u2019s eyes widened in surprise.<\/p>\n
Min Chen just answered with a gentle, \u201cUn.\u201d<\/p>\n
Professor Karl: \u201c. . .You\u2019re not going back for Christmas?\u201d<\/p>\n
Min Chen nodded slightly, with no expression on his cold face, \u201cNot going.\u201d<\/p>\n
Professor Karl walked away with doubts in his heart. He didn\u2019t understand why would Min Chen spend his Christmas alone in this place without his family. After Karl left, Daniel continued to talk with Tan Lao and Du Sheng.<\/p>\n
This time, Qi Mu could finally look at the handsome, upright man before him.<\/p>\n
Growing up in Europe, naturally, he knew that Christmas was the equivalent of the Chinese Spring Festival (Chinese New Year) in Huaxia. Even though Min Chen\u2019s mother was Chinese, their family lived in Berlin, not Huaxia. Qi Mu also didn\u2019t understand what it was that made Min Chen decide not to return to Germany.<\/p>\n
The good looking youth frowned, looking down as if he was thinking hard about something. Min Chen watched Qi Mu silently for a while. It happened that Daniel was having a good time talking to Tan Lao, and he didn\u2019t notice whatever was happening over here. Min Chen went forward and softly whispered in Qi Mu\u2019s ear: \u201cDo you have time to go to a concert together?\u201d<\/p>\n
Qi Mu, who was thinking, suddenly heard this and immediately looked up in surprise. He raised his head and his gaze met Min Chen\u2019s directly. Qi Mu\u2019s brain was spinning so fast because he couldn\u2019t understand. Why did he suddenly ask such a thing?<\/i><\/p>\n
Min Chen didn\u2019t allow him to be stumped for too long. Min Chen\u2019s thin lips curled slightly, and he said with a low laugh, \u201cYou really do understand German.\u201d<\/p>\n
Qi Mu: \u201c. . .\u201d<\/p>\n
Just now, Qi Mu was so surprised by the words that he didn\u2019t even notice that it was in German. The words were so unbelievable that he didn\u2019t think too much about it.<\/p>\n
From Qi Mu\u2019s impression, the original didn\u2019t seem to speak German, so he turned his eyes away slightly and said: \u201cRecently, I\u2019ve started to learn other languages by myself. I can somewhat understand German, but I still can\u2019t speak it.\u201d<\/p>\n
A glint of light flashed through Min Chen\u2019s eyes, but he didn\u2019t expose the young man\u2019s lies. He thought for a moment and said, \u201cDo you have absolute pitch?\u201d<\/p>\n
By this point, Qi Mu already knew that he was exposed, so he didn\u2019t hide much and directly admitted, \u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
Daniel was ending his conversation with Tan Lao and Du Sheng, and he heard Qi Mu admit to having absolute pitch. His eyes immediately flashed. He looked at Qi Mu for a long time with eyes that screamed of: \u201cI\u2019m looking at a beautiful woman\u201d and \u201cI\u2019m an addict\u201d and, finally, he couldn\u2019t help but say: \u201cXiao Tian Shi, do you really not want to study?\u201d<\/p>\n
After Qi Mu refused politely once again, Daniel let out a sigh.<\/p>\n
When he left the concert hall with Min Chen, Daniel said sadly: \u201cHey, Min Chen, that Qi Mu is truly a good seedling. Why is he so smart but unwilling to accept my kindness?\u201d Daniel held the steering wheel and said helpless, \u201cJust in his twenties and his skill with the violin is already high. Even that old beard said his style was similar to yours. He even has absolute pitch. . . Why didn\u2019t I find out about this talent earlier?\u201d<\/p>\n
Daniel complained a lot and, when he finally felt more comfortable and less depressed, suddenly heard a low chuckle from the other man:<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019ll see him sooner or later. His ambition. . .\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIs greater than you think.\u201d<\/p>\n
