Qi Mu laid on the bed for a long time after waking up before checking the clock hanging on the opposite wall. At 11 o\u2019clock, he finally opened his eyes and got up to dress.\u00a0<\/p>

Qi Mu hadn\u2019t slept so deeply in years. Living alone, he had so much to worry about. It was a little easier, in his last life, when his adoptive parents were still alive. But, when he attended Geneva College, Qi Mu was exhausted by school, work, and his living expenses.\u00a0<\/p>

In this life, he had only been a member of Wei Ai for five months. He was still a newcomer and had plenty of things to work on.\u00a0<\/p>

As soon as Qi Mu left the room, he spotted the tall, handsome man sitting at the table, looking down at a music score.<\/p>

Qi Mu walked over curiously, only to find half the score blank.\u00a0<\/p>

In the middle of Berlin\u2019s late Spring and early Summer, it was already hot. Qi Mu walked out wearing only a thin shirt. Maybe the carpet was too soft, or maybe Qi Mu had unconsciously lightened his steps, but despite his excellent ear, Min Chen was absorbed in the score and didn\u2019t notice his arrival.\u00a0<\/p>

It was rare for him to let down his defenses. Qi Mu smiled. He stood behind him without saying a thing and looked down at the score.\u00a0<\/p>

At first, he simply wanted to see what the tune was, but when he saw the third line, he couldn\u2019t help humming.\u00a0<\/p>

The youth\u2019s quiet, pleasant voice echoed in the empty room. The tune itself was gentle, but seemed even softer from his lips. The next second, the bang of the thick score snapping shut filled the air.\u00a0<\/p>

Qi Mu: \u201c…\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

Min Chen: \u201c…\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

After a long time, the handsome man explained, \u201cI haven\u2019t finished this piece. There are many things that need to be revised.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

Qi Mu: \u201c…\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

It\u2019s half empty, how could it be finished!<\/em><\/p>

As if feeling that what he said wasn\u2019t enough, Min Chen added, \u201cIt\u2019s very bad.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

After a moment of speechlessness, Qi Mu sighed and pulled up a chair to sit. \u201cYou really begin to dislike your own piece just so I won\u2019t watch you write it? Is it really no problem to hurt yourself that much?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

Min Chen: \u201c…\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

Qi Mu couldn\u2019t help laughing at the other party\u2019s awkward \u201cI wouldn\u2019t show you anyway\u201d stare. Since Min Chen didn\u2019t want him to see it for the time being, he naturally had his reasons. Qi Mu wouldn\u2019t force it. After thinking about it, he asked, \u201cWhy didn\u2019t you go to Bai Ai today? Is it a holiday?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

Collecting his music score, Min Chen nodded, \u201cWell, I needed to go this morning. I\u2019ll have Daniel take full responsibility.\u201d After a pause, Min Chen looked up to see Qi Mu peeking at the score.\u00a0<\/p>

Caught in the act, Qi Mu helplessly spread his palms and said, \u201cOkay, okay, I really won\u2019t look. I\u2019ll swear in the name of Paganini, shall I?\u201d As he asked, he lifted his hand and swore.<\/p>

After thinking for a long time, Min Chen reluctantly answered, \u201cUm.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

The two had a simple lunch, then Min Chen secretly sequestered the score away while they cleaned the dishes and chopsticks. Just as Qi Mu was putting a white porcelain bowl into the disinfection cabinet, Min Chen asked, \u201cHow long is your vacation?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

Qi Mu was taken aback, then subconsciously replied, \u201cI have about three days before I have to go back. There\u2019s something on Wei Ai\u2019s side that I have to discuss with Mr. Dorenza, so I can\u2019t be gone for too long.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

After thinking for a moment, just when Qi Mu began to suspect he\u2019d been asking casually, Min Chen said, \u201cI bought a plane ticket for this afternoon. It\u2019ll be a three day trip.\u201d His tone was light, his voice flowed without inflection as though he were discussing what to eat for dinner.\u00a0<\/p>

Qi Mu: \u201c… I don\u2019t have a change of clothes?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

Min Chen: \u201cWear mine.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

Qi Mu: \u201c… I don\u2019t seem to have much cash.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

Min Chen: \u201cSwipe my card.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

Qi Mu: \u201c… I only have three days off\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

Min Chen: \u201cThat\u2019s enough time.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

Qi Mu: \u201c…\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

After a long time, Qi Mu sighed and smiled helplessly. \u201cExcuse me, Mr. Min, do I have any reason to refuse you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

Min Chen raised his eyebrow and said, \u201cYou don\u2019t want to go out, you just want to spend\u2026 three beautiful days with me\u2026 in the\u2026 apartment\u2026 cough<\/em>\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

After a blow to the man\u2019s chest, the beautiful young man\u2019s lips curled into a brilliant, sly smile. \u201cI don\u2019t mind having you in some special way\u2026 You won\u2019t go out for three days.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

Min Chen, who had flirted too much: \u201c…\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

When the two packed up their simple luggage and planned to leave, Qi Mu casually let the man who put forward the \u201cbad idea\u201d carry the heavy luggage, while he walked in front. When they arrived at the airport, Qi Mu asked, \u201cSo, where are we going?\u201d Qi Mu pressed against the seatbelt fastened to his body.\u00a0<\/p>

Several cars were already parked in the Tagore Airport\u2019s parking lot. Even in a large international airport, the lot was dimly lit and so empty that no one could be seen.\u00a0<\/p>

Min Chen pulled out the key and paused. \u201cGeneva.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

This answer went beyond Qi Mu\u2019s expectation. His eyes widened in surprise. \u201cGeneva?!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

His raised voice filled the quiet car. The excellent sound insulation prevented his voice from traveling, but it made Min Chen\u2019s lips curl slightly upwards as he looked at him.\u00a0<\/p>

In the dim light, the man\u2019s handsome face grew more three-dimensional. Qi Mu\u2019s surprised expression fell into those deep eyes and Min Chen smiled. \u201cWell, we\u2019re going to Geneva because\u2026 I want to hear the bell ring at Geneva College. I want to see the swan named Nanali by the lake in Swan Square. I want to know where my lover once lived. I want to\u2026 walk with him in every corner he once walked.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

The low, magnetic male voice echoed in the quiet car. When he heard \u201chear the bell ring\u201d, Qi Mu didn\u2019t know how to describe how he felt. When Min Chen reached the last word, he was already smiling, feeling happy and helpless inside.\u00a0<\/p>

After thinking for a moment, he said, \u201cYou want to walk through every corner with me? There must be no less bridge holes in Vienna, ah!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

Min Chen: \u201c… Bridge\u2026 holes?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

Qi Mu nodded. \u201cYes, under the small bridge on Stark Avenue. When I first arrived in Vienna, I hadn\u2019t found a house to rent, and it wasn\u2019t time for my appointment with Wei Jiao, so I had to sleep in a bridge hole first. Well, it was late Autumn then, right? We don\u2019t need to go back in Autumn. It\u2019s too cold. But, right now it would be fine to lie in a bridge hole for the night.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

Min Chen: \u201c!!!!\u201d<\/p>

\u201cPffft, okay, okay, I was just joking with you. That small bridge was demolished a few years ago, anyway.\u201d He breathed a heavy sigh of relief. The next second, Min Chen looked at Qi Mu seriously and said, \u201cI\u2019m going to the bridge hole.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

Qi Mu: \u201c?\u201d<\/p>

\u201cI want to go everywhere you\u2019ve been.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

Qi Mu: \u201c… Would you dare to say that before I told you the bridge hole was demolished?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

Min Chen: \u201cI wouldn\u2019t dare.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

Qi Mu: \u201c…\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

In fact, Qi Mu couldn\u2019t imagine what this man would look like curled up in a damp, dark space under a bridge. At the time, he was speaking casually, but he never thought that three days later the man would really take him to the place where a small bridge once stood and sit silently all night with him.\u00a0<\/p>

The man really wanted to experience the hardships that had befallen his beloved. He wanted to experience that life personally, as if he could participate in them and bear with him the loneliness of those years.\u00a0<\/p>

\u2026\u2026<\/p>

After arriving in Geneva, Qi Mu, as a \u201cnative\u201d who had lived there for three or four years, directly led Min Chen to Geneva College. Though neither mentioned the confession the night before, they understood each other.\u00a0<\/p>

As one of the top conservatories in the world, the Geneva Conservatory of Music sat beside the beautiful Rhone River. The free-spirited Baroque-style architecture was seen everywhere, and the famous college bell tower was a must-visit spot for many aspiring musicians.\u00a0<\/p>

The world famous school of music had a long history of producing countless celebrities, including Mr. Essen, the current chief violinist of the London Philharmonic Orchestra, the well-known Swiss cellist Master Mosco, and the American violin queen, Bella Keim.\u00a0<\/p>

When Qi Mu stood before Geneva college\u2019s magnificent iron gates, he was already fully prepared. \u201cRemember to bring sunglasses and a hat. Oh, yes, I also have a mask here. You better wear it. Don\u2019t say anything, don\u2019t say anything! The students in the college are very\u2026 Er\u2026 very hospitable.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

Min Chen: \u201c…\u201d After a while, he said blankly, \u201cI\u2019ve been to the National Conservatory of Music in Paris before.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

The clear, beautiful eyebrows suddenly wrinkled. Qi Mu looked at Min Chen with a look of, \u201cWhat? Are you kidding me? You think this is comparable?\u201d and said, \u201cYou don\u2019t understand, the students of the Geneva College and the Paris National Conservatory of Music are completely different\u2026 Well, we are very enthusiastic and have many campus organizations. I remember when I was still in college, your fans established a \u2018Bertram Music Fan Club\u2019. By now it must have expanded exponentially!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

Min Chen: \u201c…\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

After Qi Mu carefully put a hat, sunglasses, and a face mask on Min Chen, he breathed a sigh of relief and led him into the open and inclusive college.\u00a0<\/p>

Just as they entered the Geneva Conservatory of Music, they saw a beautiful, artificial lake. On the sparkling lake, many swans elegantly stretched their necks and splashed on the water.\u00a0<\/p>

Around the lake were vast expanses of green lawns. On a beautiful Spring day, many students were talking and laughing on the lawn. Some played the harp, some played the violin, and some even sang.\u00a0<\/p>

Min Chen hadn\u2019t been to the Geneva Conservatory of Music for many years. Even when he came the last time, he took a bus and arrived at the side. This time, he entered and visited the institute from the main entrance. He really understood the difference between this institute and the National Conservatory of Music in Paris\u2014\u2014<\/p>

This was more youthful, energetic, and full of vitality.\u00a0<\/p>

Qi Mu led Min Chen through the tree lined road. The dense trees created shade that covered the narrow path so that only round streaks of sunlight filtered through the leaves.\u00a0<\/p>

Qi Mu announced the different buildings on either side as they walked towards the clock tower at the center of the campus.\u00a0<\/p>

Qi Mu smiled a little when he announced the cello department\u2019s building. A group of beautiful, energetic girls went past. Each carried thick music scores in one hand and a violin case in the other. They seemed to be catching up with class.\u00a0<\/p>

Knowing that the teachers at the Geneva College had unique \u201cextracurricular teaching\u201d practices, Qi Mu stretched his arm in front of Min Chen to let the girls pass. He chuckled, \u201cThe professors in the violin department are creative. Sometimes they\u2019ll teach by the lake, but the river is really far from the violin department building, so it\u2019s very troublesome to catch up with the classes every time.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

Min Chen nodded, then asked, \u201cWon\u2019t the open space impact the sound quality?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

Qi Mu raised an eyebrow. \u201cBai Ai\u2019s Forest Music Festival every summer, do you find a concert hall for your performances?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

Min Chen: \u201c…\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

\u201cThe teachers like an open, free environment. In fact, in addition to the late, there\u2019s also a small forest on the west side of campus, a hillside in the east, and\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

\u201cGod!!! You are, you are\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

Qi Mu\u2019s voice stopped as a female voice piercing the sky stunned him to silence. He turned his head and immediately looked at a blond girl with a happy expression on her face.\u00a0<\/p>

The next second, Qi Mu took Min Chen\u2019s hand and said solemnly, \u201cHurry up, I\u2019ll hold them off here for a while. You don\u2019t understand the enthusiasm of the students here, you must hurry\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

\u201cQi Mu!!!\u201d<\/p>

\u201cGod, it really is Qi Mu!!!!!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

\u201cIt\u2019s Wei Ai\u2019s Little Seven! Oh my god, I\u2019m so nostalgic, who did I see? I saw Little Seven!!!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

\u201cLittle Seven are you really Little Seven?!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

Qi Mu, about to push away Min Chen: \u201c….\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

Min Chen, whose face was mostly hidden by sunglasses and a mask: \u201c….\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
