When Qi Mu returned to his hotel,\nit was nearly 11 o\u2019clock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was quite late, so he took a\nsimple shower and went to bed. When he woke the next day, it was already 10 in\nthe morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bright, warm sunshine filled the\nroom. After his shower, Qi Mu turned on his phone and saw a missed call and two\ntexts, both from Min Chen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Min Chen: \u3010Have you listened to it?\u3011<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Min Chen: \u3010I\u2019m leaving for Berlin first.\u3011<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Looking at the screen, Qi Mu\nthought a bit on his reply then pressed the screen several times. He quickly\nsent the message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The man who just arrived in\nBerlin turned on his phone and received a text\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u3010Um. . . I haven\u2019t yet, the hotel\ndidn\u2019t have a record player. I\u2019ll listen to it today. You should be in Berlin\nby now, right? I wish you a successful performance this evening.\u3011<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In front of the airport window, a\nhandsome man halted in his steps and stared at his phone. The corners of his\nlips were slightly upturned as if something pleasant had happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Min Chen replied with a simple\nsentence. Before he could put his phone back in his pocket, Daniel\u2019s terrified\nvoice suddenly rang out, \u201cGod! Min! Why are you suddenly so happy? What\nhappened. . . to make you so happy?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Min Chen: \u201c. . .Shut up.\u201d He\ncontinued walking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHey, Min! Was it Angel who\ntexted you just now? You really like him, huh. . .\u201d Daniel\u2019s murmur was\nignored, but he continued, \u201cYou really like him. . . Min, is this a good or bad\nthing. . .?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The cold-faced man\nstopped and stared at this particularly chatty blond. His eyebrow raised. \u201cA good thing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Daniel failed to respond for a\nmoment. \u201c. . . Ah?! What did you say?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Min Chen earnestly said in fluent\nGerman, \u201cIt\u2019s a good thing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c. . .\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I was just\nsaying! Why are you so serious!?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Daniel sulked silently. He had a\nhunch. If he stayed with this guy for more than a decade, he would end up bald!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Just thinking about it scared\nhim. He wasn\u2019t going to care for him. He was about to walk away when the man\u2019s\nmuffled voice called out, \u201cHmm. . . Daniel, I need you to check on one more\nthing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Unkindly, Daniel said, \u201cCheck\nwhat? I don\u2019t know you that well.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Able to ignore his friend\u2019s fiery\ntemper for several days each month, Min Chen lowered his eyelids, thought for a\nmoment, then whispered, \u201cLuo Yu Sen. . . There must be something wrong\nwith him. You check on him, he. . . the past 10 months, he\u2019s behaved\nstrangely.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHalf a year ago, you told me to\ncheck his family background. Why are you still doing this now!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Min Chen stopped again then\nturned to look at Daniel. Indifferently, he asked, \u201cYou won\u2019t?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c. . . I will!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n He\u2019s been exploited for more than\na decade!<\/p>\n\n\n\n How on earth did he survive all\nthose years, ah!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2014\u2014Daniel\u2019s expression\nwas full of tears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Vienna, 3 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After leaving the home of a music\ncritic, Qi Mu walked towards a subway station when he received a text message\nfrom Luo Yu Sen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Qi Mu was busy, either by\ncompleting his teacher\u2019s tasks or attending concerts. He didn\u2019t have the time\nto pay attention to Luo Yu Sen. He entrusted the investigation to the private\ndetective, intending to wait until he wasn\u2019t so busy to deal with this scumbag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Even if Qi Mu had forgotten about\nhim, Luo Yu Sen had no such patience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In fact, Luo Yu Sen waited an\nentire week for his phone call.<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to Luo Yu Sen\u2019s\nthoughts, the innocent young man was so delighted to get in touch with him that\nhe eagerly left him his contact information\u2014\u2014who told the boy to admire him so\nmuch?<\/p>\n\n\n\n What surprised Luo Yu Sen was the\nfact that the kid didn\u2019t contact him at all. He didn\u2019t call and didn\u2019t even\nsend a message! After waiting that long, Luo Yu Sen was no longer patient. He\nsent a text first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u3010Long time no see. Wei Ai has a\nconcert tomorrow, and I have two tickets. Do you need them?\u3011<\/p>\n\n\n\n Just like the Berlin Philharmonic\nOrchestra, the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra concluded their European tour and\nreturned to Vienna for the final concert. The concert of a world-class\norchestra naturally attracted a large audience, and the tickets were bound to\nbe hard to acquire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Qi Mu frowned. Finally, he replied,\u3010I\u2019m sorry, I have tickets. I\u2019ve been\na little busy recently. If there\u2019s an opportunity, I will contact you.\u3011<\/p>\n\n\n\n After a brief \u201cOkay.\u201d from Luo Yu\nSen, the man didn\u2019t send anything else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Qi Mu looked coldly at his\nphone\u2019s screen and sank into his thoughts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Qi Mu had already gotten some\ninformation from his private detective. He. . . got the gist of why Luo Yu Sen\nwas treated coldly by the other members of the orchestra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Qi Mu was so busy, he planned to\nwait until this period ended to settle the matter with Luo Yu Sen. Compared to\nhis business with the scum, Qi Mu felt. . . <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWell, it\u2019s better to practice\nfive hours a day than spend an hour with that guy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n With that in mind, Qi Mu returned\nto his hotel room and practiced happily for over an hour. By the time he\narrived at Musikverein the next day, the crowd had already blocked half the\nstreet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Such a grand venue wasn\u2019t worse\nthan the one Bai Ai had a few days ago, and it was even more enthusiastic. The\nVienna Philharmonic Orchestra belonged to Austria, so many locals rushed to get\ntheir tickets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Only then did Qi Mu realize how\nconvenient it was to be an insider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A few days ago, just an hour\nbefore the concert, Bai Ai\u2019s ticket price soared up to over 1000 euros on the\nblack market. For tonight\u2019s concert, Qi Mu heard it was about the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Qi Mu didn\u2019t have to worry about\nit. Last time, he got a ticket from Min Chen. This time, Dorenza specifically\nasked the staff to send him the invitation for a front-row seat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dorenza and Akkad were old\nfriends, and since Akkad asked him to take care of his student, he undeniably\nfound it fascinating. Dorenza had heard of Qi Mu. A violinist earning a 9.5\nscore from Min Chen wouldn\u2019t be an ordinary person. <\/p>\n\n\n\n By coincidence, he listened to Qi\nMu\u2019s \u300aDance of the Goblins\u300b and saw Master Leonid\u2019s commentary\non Qi Mu. Even without Akkad\u2019s introduction, the mild-tempered conductor was\ncurious about Qi Mu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Before Qi Mu could leave the\nvenue after Wei Ai\u2019s concert that evening, a staff member came to see him. They\ninformed him that Dorenza invited him to the orchestra\u2019s final post-concert\ncelebration that night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Qi Mu was surprised, but there\nlong-lost joy in his heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dorenza was one of the most\nimportant figures in his previous life. In the last few months of his life, he\nprovided him with a lot of guidance. He was the one who gave Qi Mu the chance\nto stand on the Golden Hall\u2019s stage. He was very grateful to him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Qi Mu looked forward to seeing\nthe maestro again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wei Ai\u2019s celebration party was\nsimilar to those of other orchestras, they reserved several tables directly at\na hotel. To Qi Mu\u2019s surprise, he shared the main table with the conductor,\nDorenza, and Zaev, the concertmaster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On such occasions, food was not\nthe main focus. Under the brilliant lights, the main table was full of famous\nfigures from the classical music world. Albert Dorenza was one of the four\nleading conductors in the world, and Leon Zaev was also renowned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Among those people, a handsome\nyoung man would certainly be eye-catching. When some curious members came up\nand struck a conversation with Qi Mu to figure out who he was, there were three\nexclamations\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAh! Were you the one who played\nthat brilliant \u300aDance of the Goblins\u300b?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou\u2019re Master Akkad\u2019s student!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIs it really possible to get a\nscore of 9.5 from Mr. Bertram?!!!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dorenza had a good relationship\nwith Min Chen, so he often came to Wei Ai to have a conversation with him. Many\nmembers of Wei Ai were aware of the fact that the world\u2019s best-tempered\nconductor (Dorenza) and the world\u2019s worst-tempered conductor (Min Chen). . .<\/p>\n\n\n\n Were very different!<\/p>\n\n\n\n We sympathize\nwith our comrades at Bai Ai, look at how lovely our Dorenza is!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Thus, being praised by the harsh\nand poisonous Bertram, the young man must be exceptional! And his temper was\nmild and as cute as their great Dorenza!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fortunately, Qi Mu had once\nworked with these people for several months. So, even as the butt of their\njokes, he could deal with them easily. He also harvested a lot of good points\nfrom Wei Ai\u2019s members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When the benevolent old man came towards Qi Mu with a smile on\nhis face and a glass of wine in his hand, he couldn\u2019t help but feel a burst of\nwarmth in his heart. A smile bloomed on his fair, delicate face. Voice\nmelodious, he said, \u201cHello. . . Mr. Dorenza.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n <<< Previous<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n N<\/a>ext >>><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Translator ...<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[66,35,39,68,64,37],"class_list":["post-8228","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-kocm","tag-betrayal","tag-bl","tag-modern","tag-power-couple","tag-revenge","tag-transmigration"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/betwixtedbutterfly.com\/translations\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8228","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/betwixtedbutterfly.com\/translations\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/betwixtedbutterfly.com\/translations\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/betwixtedbutterfly.com\/translations\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/betwixtedbutterfly.com\/translations\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8228"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/betwixtedbutterfly.com\/translations\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8228\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8229,"href":"https:\/\/betwixtedbutterfly.com\/translations\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8228\/revisions\/8229"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/betwixtedbutterfly.com\/translations\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8228"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/betwixtedbutterfly.com\/translations\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8228"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/betwixtedbutterfly.com\/translations\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8228"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
