Although New Ai\u2019s anniversary officially came to an end, Wei Ai\u2019s pace didn\u2019t. The next day, they were invited to Washington, DC to play an impassioned \u300aSymphony of Heroes\u300b<\/a>in memory of the great pioneers of the past.\u00a0<\/p>

Three grand performances made American music fans satisfied and happy.\u00a0<\/p>

If someone were to ask which of Wei Ai\u2019s three concerts was most impressive, most would probably answer, \u201cIt must be the one with New Ai.\u201d But, if they were to be given a second question, which show would they want to relive?\u00a0<\/p>

Everyone would choose the third!<\/p>

There was only one \u300aSymphony of Heroes\u300b, and it was performed in such a rush that it wasn\u2019t rehearsed in advance. The third performance made an unforgettable impression, and even small groups of the audience hummed and danced as they left the venue.\u00a0<\/p>

With its solemn, grand melody and passionate, burning notes, Wei Ai\u2019s interpretation of\u00a0 \u300aSymphony of Heroes\u300bignited the audience. It burned all the way to the top, causing boiling cascades of enthusiasm.\u00a0<\/p>

This was a tribute to a great hero of democracy, to a hero destined to open the world, who would sooner die than surrender.\u00a0<\/p>

Originally, this \u300aSymphony of Heroes\u300bwas a hymn written by Beethoven for Napoleon at the invitation of the French ambassador to Vienna. But, when he heard that Napoleon had become an emperor, he angrily changed the original name, \u300aNapoleon Bonaparte Symphony\u300bto \u300aSymphony of Heroes\u300b.<\/p>

Such a hymn written for the heroes of the world who stood up and moved forward may be more appropriate to celebrate Washington, who founded the United States.\u00a0<\/p>

After the third performance, in response to the fans\u2019 enthusiasm, Wei Ai played an encore. After all, it was a party in memory of Washington, so the performance ended with only two pieces.<\/p>

On the plane back to Europe, Wei Ai\u2019s members spoke in noisy whispers.\u00a0<\/p>

\u201cThe last performance was so rushed. Alas, if only we had more time to rest.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

\u201cRichard, don\u2019t try to use \u2018exhaustion\u2019 as an excuse for you to almost miss the tune. Hahahaha, everyone, you know? When I sat next to Richard, I heard him almost\u2026 pull a wrong note in the second movement! Oh god, you didn\u2019t see his expression at the time, his eyes were bulging out!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

\u201cDamn Ike, don\u2019t talk nonsense! I\u2019m just a little\u2026. I\u2019m almost okay!!!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

\u2026\u2026<\/p>

Overhearing their conversation, Qi Mu couldn\u2019t help uttering a low laugh. He put away his dinner plate and listened to Dorenza ask, \u201cLittle Seven, are you in a good mood?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

Qi Mu replied, \u201cDon\u2019t you think Richard is so funny, Mr. Dorenza? I can just imagine his eyes bulging out.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

Dorenza raised his head at this to peer at the musicians behind him. He coughed twice as a warning to restrain themselves, then turned back to Qi Mu and whispered, \u201cI heard Richard\u2019s little mistake. He almost slowed down for half a beat. I\u2019m afraid he\u2019ll be practicing hard after we return to Vienna.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

Qi Mu nodded. \u201cOkay, Mr. Dorenza. I will pay attention.\u201d<\/p>

After they exchanged a few more words, Dorenza laughed and said, \u201cBut, Little Seven, there is no need to rush things with the orchestra. This time, there will be a three week holiday after returning. What do you want to do with it?\u201d After a pause, he added, \u201cThe door to my house is always open for you. I\u2019ve kept it in my heart since you rejected my New Year\u2019s invitation last time.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

As he spoke, the gentle-tempered master pretended to be serious and forced the expression on his face, but couldn\u2019t fight the kind smile overtaking it. Seeing this, Qi Mu said helplessly, \u201cMr. Dorenza, I\u2019m afraid I don\u2019t have time to go to your house now.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

Dorenza was shocked. \u201cYou don\u2019t have time during a three week holiday?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

Qi Mu smiled and nodded. \u201cYes, I have some very important things to do.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

It was rare for the concertmaster to appear so happy, especially so unconcealed in his smile. Dorenza thought for a moment and asked, \u201cBut my dear Little Seven, can I know what it is you need to do? Since it turns out you can\u2019t even give me one day in three weeks\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

Qi Mu wanted to agree when he saw the defeat on Dorenza\u2019s face, but he remembered the \u201csurprise\u201d he had promised. He shook his head, pretending to be mysterious. \u201cBut my dear Mr. Dorenza, do you want to stop me from accompanying my beloved little girlfriend?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

\u201cBeloved little girlfriend\u2026\u201d Dorenza\u2019s eyes widened as he exclaimed, \u201cLittle Seven, you really have a girl\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

\u201cShh!\u201d Qi Mu reached out and covered his mouth with his palm. \u201cThis is a secret, Mr. Dorenza. My girlfriend\u2026 Um, is very shy. If he\u2026 uh, if she knows that you all know about her, she will be shy enough to ignore me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

Dorenza smiled and nodded. \u201cYou young people just don\u2019t like to share your affairs. Little Seven, when can you show your little girlfriend to me? I think this shy girl must be very cute for you to like her\u2026 she should have big eyes and sweet dimples, right?\u201d<\/p>

\u201cPffft.\u201d Qi Mu couldn\u2019t help laughing out loud.\u00a0<\/p>

\u201cShe should also like to laugh. Oh god, this really must be a cute girl, why can\u2019t you show her to all of us, Little Seven? She\u2019s so shy!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

Qi Mu nodded over and over again, laughing to the point where he couldn\u2019t even speak. He couldn\u2019t imagine a man with big eyes, a pair of sweet dimples, and who loved to laugh all day\u2026<\/p>

If Min Chen really liked to laugh, well, don\u2019t mention it to anyone. Daniel, Christole, and all the members of Bai Ai would probably call the police\u2026<\/p>

After explaining in detail (bullshiting) how shy his girlfriend was and asking Dorenza to keep it secret, Qi Mu took a rest. Soon the plane landed smoothly at the Vienna International Airport.\u00a0<\/p>

In the parking lot, everyone smiled, said their goodbyes, and went their separate ways. Even then, Dorenza couldn\u2019t help whispering in his ear, \u201cLittle Seven, when will you let me see your girlfriend?\u201d<\/p>

Qi Mu could only answer, \u201cWhen she\u2019s not so shy anymore.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

Qi Mu got on the airport bus after he saw Dorenza\u2019s car pull out of the parking lot. He sat in the last row with this chin propped up, face covered by a wide brimmed hat. In Vienna, the Wei Ai concertmaster was still very famous.\u00a0<\/p>

As the trees flew past the window, under the bright, hot sun, Qi Mu thought to himself: Actually\u2026 Was it time for them to go public?\u00a0<\/em><\/p>

In the beginning, Professor Akkad insisted that Qi Mu should not disclose his relationship with Min Chen until he established his career. Qi Mu understood this. After all, at the time, the man stood at the peak of classical music, and he was still some distance from that position. If their relationship was suddenly made public, it would have had a bad impact on them both (but, especially Qi Mu).\u00a0<\/p>

Now, he was Wei Ai\u2019s concertmaster and had been recognized by many, so\u2026<\/p>

\u201cIt seems okay?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

He shook his head with a smile and didn\u2019t think about it anymore. He put his luggage and violin away and sat alone at the end of the bus.\u00a0<\/p>

The spacious bus was about 20 meters from front to rear. Probably because of the off season, there weren\u2019t many riders. A few people nodded off. No one noticed the young man sitting at the end.\u00a0<\/p>

After experiencing the students\u2019 enthusiasm at the Geneva College, Qi Mu no longer dared to underestimate his current influence. Besides, he was not stupid enough to go out on the street without covering his face in Vienna, the world\u2019s most music-loving city. Some people there were even familiar with all of the hundreds of members of Wei Ai!<\/p>

The car swayed into the city and Qi Mu also felt the pull of exhaustion. Just as he narrowed his eyes to rest, a warm, bright smile entered his eyes.\u00a0<\/p>

Qi Mu was taken aback, and his tiredness disappeared.\u00a0<\/p>

A tender, pink little angel appeared before his eyes. The lovely little baby looked to be about three or four years old, with blue eyes like a clear lake. Seeing her big eyes blink up at him instantly softened his heart. Qi Mu subconsciously wanted to reach out and touch her tender cheek, but he resisted.\u00a0<\/p>

Even though Qi Mu held back, the little baby said softly, \u201cLittle Seven, Little Seven\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

Her voice was so low that almost no one in the noisy carriage could hear her clearly, but it was enough to fully wake up Qi Mu. He looked around in surprise, only to see a beautiful lady looking at him with the same shock. She covered her mouth in disbelief, \u201cYou are small\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

\u201cShh.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

She nodded, then reached out to hold her naughty little daughter to her knees. Along the way, Qi Mu played a finger game with the little baby. He stretched out his hands in front of her, and she pointed curiously to his fingertips.\u00a0<\/p>

A happy smile appeared on her tender cheeks, and when Qi Mu got out of the car, the baby waved happily at him.\u00a0<\/p>

There were many beautiful things in the world. Such a pure, bright smile really warmed his heart.\u00a0<\/p>

Qi Mu walked half a block and arrived at the apartment with his violin case in hand. Everything was still as he left it a month prior, all quietly displayed. After Qi Mu put the luggage away, he hurriedly opened his mail.\u00a0<\/p>

A thick stack of sheet music appeared before him.\u00a0<\/p>

As day turned into night, Qi Mu carefully hummed each note. When he turned to the last page, he got up and went to the music room, put the score on the stand, and dug out his violin. He began to play.\u00a0<\/p>

The long, light sound of the violin echoed in the room. The music was beautiful and charming. Once he\u2019d played all four movements, Qi Mu gently stroked the notes on the score with his fingers. He seemed to be able to feel the man\u2019s mood when he wrote the rhythms. It was the same unspeakable joy he felt now, playing them!<\/p>

I really\u2026 miss you so much.<\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
