After arriving in Vienna, Bai Ai went directly to Musikverein, where a medium-sized hall had been reserved for their rehearsals. Naturally, they arrived early.<\/span><\/p>\n

Not every rehearsal hall in the building would be free whenever they needed it, so every orchestra that arrived would receive a different hall than the one they used the last time they visited. Unfortunately, Bai Ai\u2019s rehearsal hall was far away from Wei Ai\u2019s exclusive rehearsal hall. If one wanted to make an analogy, it was like the legendaryn Cowherd and the Weaver Girl<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

But they were in the same building, after all. By the time Bai Ai arrived at the rehearsal hall, the news already spread amongst Wei Ai\u2019s members. <\/span><\/p>\n

Probably because they had just entered a new term, the average age of Bai Ai\u2019s members was 30 years old, which was ten years lower than Wei Ai’s. Which was why, when many fans made comments like \u201cIt\u2019s like beauty and musicality coexisting!\u201d about Bai Ai, the members of Wei Ai went\u2014\u2014<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cTut, what classical music needs is temperament. Tem-per-a-ment! Got it?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe were far more handsome than they are now, right, Joe? I was Wei Ai\u2019s little prince!\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBack off. I\u2019m the most handsome one, okay?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHoho, who was it that worshipped Mr. Bertram so much that he went to Berlin and returned in the middle of the night before every New Year\u2019s concert and got scolded by Mr. Dorenza?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2026..<\/span><\/p>\n

Qi Mu couldn\u2019t help but laugh at the members of Wei Ai teasing each other. In such an orchestra, where the members had worked together for a decade or more, everyone knew each other very well and got along splendidly. Moreover, Qi Mu was indeed a bit young in the orchestra, so everyone tacitly looked after him like older siblings.<\/span><\/p>\n

Qi Mu\u2019s life in Wei Ai can be described as that of a fish in water. Unlike when he first entered Wei Jiao where he had to pay attention to interpersonal relationships, Qi Mu could now spend his time fully rehearsing and practicing to improve his own skill and the orchestra itself.<\/span><\/p>\n

In fact, this was exactly what the orchestra wanted Qi Mu to focus on. They chose this child as their deputy concertmaster and later, their concertmaster, so they observed his skills with the violin, as well as his potential and<\/span> diligence.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAh, Little Seven is really diligent. It\u2019s tea time now and he\u2019s still reading the score.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhat do you know? Little Seven is already reading the clarinet\u2019s section score, okay!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cGosh, wasn\u2019t Little Seven reading the cello group yesterday? He\u2019s already on the clarinets?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2026\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

To sum it up\u2014\u2014<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOur family\u2019s Little Seven is so wonderful!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Before the members of Wei Ai could continue their conversation, a tall, handsome man appeared at the cafe\u2019s door. Taking a glance in the quiet cafe, he soon found the youth he was looking for by the French window in the corner.<\/span><\/p>\n

The warm sunshine in the early spring was like a golden veil, shining through the floor-to-ceiling window and directly on Qi Mu, making his figure appearing quite ethereal. Perhaps for convenience, Qi Mu had his now longer hair tied with a thin black elastic. Some strands of hair still slipped loose, framing his face and making him look even more delicate and alluring.<\/span><\/p>\n

Min Chen seldom saw Qi Mu being this focused and dedicated. The young man sat with his back straight while holding a black fountain pen in his hand, reading the score attentively and marking some notes on it.<\/span><\/p>\n

He was the most attractive when he was focused.<\/span><\/p>\n

Min Chen hesitated for a moment before he finally decided to interrupt this beautiful tableau.<\/span><\/p>\n

Qi Mu was surprised when he saw Min Chen coming. \u201cYou\u2019re here?\u201d He closed the folder as he spoke and said with a laugh, \u201cJulie was just talking about you, I didn\u2019t expect you to come now. Let\u2019s go find her.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Qi Mu left the cafe with Min Chen without delay to look for a certain lady who was both elegant and dignified. After they left, the originally quiet coffee shop customers immediately boiled over once they returned to their senses with widened eyes\u2014\u2014<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOh, my God! What the hell did I see just now? What the hell? Did Mr. Bertram take away our Little Seven just like that?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis is not fair! That\u2019s <\/span>our<\/span><\/i> Little Seven! And why did Mr. Bertram take our Little Seven as soon as he came?!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cExactly! Even I don\u2019t have the heart to disturb Little Seven when he\u2019s reviewing the score, yet Mr. Bertram actually just went up to him! He\u2019s a demon!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHey, hey, hey, aren\u2019t you Mr. Bertram\u2019s fan? Why are you calling him a demon now?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYou don\u2019t understand! Little Seven is my favorite, Mr. Bertram is just my one-sided admiration!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Everyone else: \u201c…\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

So they preferred the new and discarded the old. Typical men…<\/span><\/p>\n

Qi Mu had no idea what was going down in the cafe. He and Min Chen searched for a while before finding Julie in the conductor lounge, having a conversation with Dorenza.<\/span><\/p>\n

Seeing Min Chen, the elegant woman immediately gave him a big hug and said, \u201cOh, my dear Auston. We haven\u2019t seen each other for more than a month. Give your Auntie Julie a hug.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Min Chen went a little stiff before he slowly raised his hand and patted Julie\u2019s back. \u201cWell, hug\u2026 There you go.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Seeing this, Julie\u2019s grin grew wider and she reached out to ruffle the man\u2019s black hair. \u201cOh, my dear Auston. You\u2019re so cute!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Min Chen, whose hair had been turned into a chicken coop: \u201c…\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

After that, Dorenza happened to have something to discuss with Qi Mu so Min Chen and Julie left first. As he left, Min Chen threw Qi Mu a meaningful glance and Qi Mu nodded naturally after seeing it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Min Chen called him early that morning when he was still in Berlin, saying he had something to discuss with Julie. So, now was just the time for it. <\/span><\/p>\n

The door of the lounge gently closed, leaving behind only Qi Mu and Dorenza in the peaceful room. Qi Mu wasn\u2019t too restrained with the maestro. He pulled out the chair Julie was using and sat with his back straight.<\/span><\/p>\n

Across the mahogany table, Dorenza said with a smile, \u201cLittle Seven, you came just at the right time. We\u2019re going on the tour in another week and there\u2019s something I want to talk to you about.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

———<\/span><\/p>\n

During the afternoon rehearsal, Wei Ai practiced the first few symphonies they would perform in Brussels while Bai Ai got familiar with the venue before the members were assigned to their hotel rooms.<\/span><\/p>\n

When Qi Mu and Julie left Musikverein, they saw a black Bently parked on the side of the road just after taking a few steps. The Bentley\u2019s window slowly went down, revealing Min Chen\u2019s beautifully-carved, elegant face.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOh, my dear Auston!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

With that cry of surprise, Julie rushed over to the car and sat in the back seat while Qi Mu went to the front passenger seat with a smile.<\/span><\/p>\n

When the car arrived at their apartment, Julie was surprised to see Min Chen going up with Qi Mu and asked, \u201cAuston, you\u2019re going to Qi Mu\u2019s for a visit?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Qi Mu was about to answer with, \u201cIt\u2019s actually Min Chen\u2019s,\u201d but before he could do so, Min Chen gave an affirmative hum before saying, \u201cYes, Julie. I have something to talk to Qi Mu about today. I\u2019ll go back to the hotel later.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Julie didn\u2019t probe any further and went to her door after saying goodbye to them.<\/span><\/p>\n

Only when they entered the apartment did Qi Mu blurt out, \u201cYou\u2019re lying!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Min Chen calmly raised an eyebrow and said, \u201cHmm?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhy didn\u2019t you tell Julie that this is your house?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIf she knows I\u2019m going to live here during these few days, she\u2019ll be \u2018very happy\u2019 and we\u2019re going to be \u2018very not happy\u2019,\u201d The man explained seriously before adding, \u201cJulie is very energetic and she can often think of things no one else would ever.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Qi Mu could only reluctantly agree with such an answer. That was indeed the case. Once when he and Julie were going through their morning exercise, Qi Mu, a young man, was already out of breath yet Julie was still chatting with him energetically.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2014\u2014To put it simply, she had an energy that didn\u2019t match her age.<\/span><\/p>\n

After returning home, Qi Mu made a simple dinner and sat down at the table. While serving the glutinous rice porridge, Qi Mu asked, \u201cWhat did you talk about with Julie this afternoon? It doesn\u2019t seem serious since she behaved normally all afternoon.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Min Chen picked up vegetables to put in the young man\u2019s bowl, but his hand staggered a bit before he calmly answered with, \u201cI told her I love you very much and you love me too. She said she could see that and warned me to be good to you or suffer her wrath.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Qi Mu didn\u2019t believe it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Seeing the young man\u2019s disbelief, Min Chen\u2019s lips curled up in a faint smile before he spread his hands and said, \u201cI also want to ask, what exactly did you do to make Julie so fond of you in just a month? Before this, she would never let me go easily but today, she just ruffled my hair and didn\u2019t do anything else.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Qi Mu looked at Min Chen up and down before saying, \u201cSeems like you miss being doted on by Julie?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Min Chen: \u201d\u2026\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

After a long while, Min Chen solemnly and earnestly said, emphasizing each and every word, \u201cPlease, I ask of you, by all means, at all costs, accept Julie\u2019s love.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Qi Mu: \u201d\u2026\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

After dinner, the two cleaned up the table and the dishes. While collecting the chopsticks, Qi Mu said, seemingly casually, \u201cOh, yes. Since you\u2019re back, there\u2019s something I know you\u2019re really itching to get to.\u201d After a slight pause, he looked up defiantly. \u201cYou can get to it right away. Are you happy?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Min Chen was somewhat bewildered for a moment before raising an eyebrow and asked, \u201cYou want to look at Little Auston?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Qi Mu: \u201d\u2026\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cRoll your ass back to Berlin!!! I\u2019m talking about doing the dishes! Doing the dishes! You hear that? Doing the dishes! What the hell is in your head?!!!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Min Chen? Rolling his ass back to Berlin?<\/span><\/p>\n

Of course that was impossible.<\/span><\/p>\n

Min Chen knew his beloved\u2019s weakness, Qi Mu was a \u2018knife mouth, tofu heart\u2019 kind of a guy. So after pretending to be pitiful and selling his misery for a while, Qi Mu still had to watch \u2018Little Auston\u2019 for the whole night, even though he was reluctant to do so at first.<\/span><\/p>\n

When Qi Mu got up the next day, the man was still inside him. He moved forward, trying to disconnect them, but the man followed him. Qi Mu wanted to smack the shameless man with a pillow, but Min Chen grabbed his wrist. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c….You weren\u2019t asleep?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIf I was still sleeping, you would kill your husband.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c….I will really kill you, trust me.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Pulling the young man straight into his arms, Min Chen threw the pillow that was blocking the way under the bed and whispered in Qi Mu\u2019s ear. \u201cI\u2019m leaving in two days. We haven\u2019t been together for more than two months. Qi Mu, I miss you.\u201d He rubbed against Qi Mu\u2019s ear for good measure.<\/span><\/p>\n

Such a seductive action made Qi Mu blush, especially when he found the thing inside him had the tendency to swell!<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYou go out first\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cNo. Little Auston misses you too.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c….Min Chen, I read a book on Chinese Heart Sutra a few days ago. There is a sentence in it that I really like.\u201d A cold smile appeared on the youth\u2019s face and Min Chen was taken aback. He involuntarily gulped.<\/span><\/p>\n

Then he heard Qi Mu say, word by word, \u201cCut off the root of evil and throw away evil thoughts. Ump\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Min Chen sealed the young man\u2019s lips with a kiss. After that, he demonstrated to Qi Mu that evil thoughts can only be shared between two people.<\/span><\/p>\n

See, this is a happy thing. How can it be \u2018evil thoughts\u2019, ah!<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
