Although Qi Mu was only a temporary member of the first violin group, for a top orchestra like this, any small change was vital.<\/p>

Qi Mu wasn\u2019t familiar with \u300aThe Magic Flute\u300b, so he made a few slight mistakes in the early rehearsals. Fortunately, he responded quickly and was also a quick learner. Using his absolute pitch to memorize each of the sounds in the orchestra, Qi Mu was basically starved for the chance to play by the third rehearsal.<\/p>

The days Qi Mu experienced with Farrell were good ones. His gentleness was akin to that of the spring breeze, and he was unbiased towards everyone. It was no wonder this man was voted No. 3 in the most mild-tempered conductor world poll.<\/p>

It was not that Farrell wasn\u2019t gentle enough, it\u2019s just that. . . Boswell, who ranked first, and Dorenza, in second, was so powerful Farrell could only sit at third place.<\/p>

This left a deep impression on Qi Mu who had survived ten years in the heat of the Vienna Symphony Orchestra. These days, he really understood the differences between conductors!<\/p>

For example, during the afternoon rehearsal today, a member of the trumpet group played the wrong note. If this was Vienna, well. . . the poor sap would have been chewed out by Evra until he wouldn\u2019t even dare lift his head.<\/p>

But at Dresden?<\/p>

Farrell waited until the section was over before smiling at the erred member and gently said, \u201cOh, Kenny, you\u2019re too nervous. You\u2019ve played well all this time, so relax and pay attention to the pitch. You\u2019ll do better next time.\u201d<\/p>

You see, there was nothing to compare here between Evra and Farrell.<\/p>

Of course, Qi Mu had now cooperated with the world\u2019s top three best-tempered conductors. If such achievements were to be laid out on the Danube forum, it would be a perfect anecdote and soon become the hottest post of the day.<\/p>

But what Qi Mu didn\u2019t expect was by the end of the day, he would hear Evra\u2019s name. At that time, Qi Mu was packing his violin case when he overheard the wind group\u2019s discussion\u2014\u2014<\/p>

\u201cWell, Cooke complained again today that Mr. Evra is so cruel.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cCooke\u2019s condition is a bit off lately, so it\u2019s normal for Mr. Evra to say something. At least Mr. Evra is frank, even though he scolds you, he guides you. Unlike Mr. Bertram, even if he doesn\u2019t say a word, people will tremble. . .\u201d<\/p>

\u201cDon\u2019t say it. Mayer posted anonymously on the Danube forum at noon saying Mr. Bertram is on leave today. Christole led the afternoon rehearsal.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cOh! What a happy event, Christole has a good temper!\u201d<\/p>

. . .<\/p>

When these words reached Qi Mu\u2019s ears, he was so surprised his eyebrows furrowed.<\/p>

Although. . . although Min Chen was awkward, stingy, vengeful, had a poisonous tongue, was black-bellied with a good face and a bit afraid of bugs, was his temper really so bad? Generally speaking, he was a kind person.<\/p>

After all, the things Jenny said about Bertram. . .<\/p>

\u201cHey! What are you talking about?! Mr. Bertram is very kind and considerate, isn\u2019t he a gentleman?! Don\u2019t talk nonsense here!\u201d<\/p>

Qi Mu: “. . .”<\/p>

Well, before he could remember the exact words, the person who uttered them appeared first.<\/p>

The group didn\u2019t know whether to tearfully laughing while apologizing to the \u201cguardian\u201d Jenny. The old men were forced to flee by the young woman.\u00a0<\/p>

Jenny was sullen for a while but suddenly remembered the reason she was there. The female yaksha<\/a> abruptly smiled. Though she wasn\u2019t beautiful, her smile was friendly and made her approachable.<\/p>

But right now, Qi Mu. . . couldn\u2019t associate this woman with a kind smile to that yaksha just now.<\/p>

Jenny went over to Qi Mu and said with a smile, \u201cAngel, I came because Mr. Farrell asked for you.\u201d Qi Mu was about to leave at once, and she smiled again, \u201cGo straight ahead, I\u2019ll help with your stuff. It looks like Mr. Farrell wanted to say a word or two, so it shouldn\u2019t be long.\u201d<\/p>

Qi Mu smiled and said, \u201cOkay. Thank you, Jenny.\u201d<\/p>

In the rehearsal hall, a handsome young man walked ahead toward the conductor\u2019s lounge behind the stage. Behind him, the female violinist sat on a chair, watching over his violin case and phone.<\/p>

It took him three minutes to walk to the backstage from the hall.<\/p>

The maestro told Qi Mu that he and his wife, Audrey, were going out tonight to have a candlelight dinner and share a romantic, warm world for only the two of them.<\/p>

Since it was a two-person world, of course, one couldn\u2019t bring a giant light bulb along. So he gave him the key, telling him to go back alone and eat something on the way.<\/p>

Qi Mu naturally agreed. Although the fact that Farrell and Audrey were in their sixties but still regularly went out on a date together every week was somewhat unexpected, their love of more than 40 years made him slightly envious.<\/p>

The vibrant sunset shone through the stained-glass window making the glass looked even more dazzling.<\/p>

Qi Mu walked alone down the long corridor. For some reason, he suddenly stopped in front of the tall Gothic-style window and stared at it in a daze.<\/p>

Over 40 years of love. . .<\/p>

When put together, it didn\u2019t seem much in comparison to the years he had lived.<\/p>

Why was he suddenly a bit envious?<\/p>

If he could be with Min for 40 years. . .<\/p>

His light eyes opened wide, and he was stunned, standing frozen in the same place. He couldn\u2019t believe the fact that name just popped up in his mind.<\/p>

There wasn\u2019t a single movement in the corridor for quite a while. It wasn\u2019t until a small, black bird perched on a branch of a tree outside flapped its wings and flew away that Qi Mu was suddenly awakened from his reverie, and he clenched his fist.<\/p>

He once again continued toward the rehearsal hall. His shocked expression had already returned to normal as if nothing happened.<\/p>

Qi Mu had just stepped into the rehearsal hall when he heard the familiar ringtone of his mobile phone before he could even spot Jenny.<\/p>

He used \u300aConcerto in E minor\u300b as his ringtone until a few months ago when he changed it to Paganini\u2019s \u300aLa Campanella\u300b played by himself. So when the melody rang out, he knew it was his phone.<\/p>

Qi Mu hastened his pace, but before he could come close, he heard a sudden cry, \u201cMy God! Min. . .Chen?! That\u2019s Mr. Bertram\u2019s Chinese name!\u201d<\/p>

Qi Mu suddenly had a bad feeling. His steps quickened, but just 10 meters away, he heard Jenny\u2019s voice again, \u201cAh. . . Mr. Bertram? Well, I\u2019m not Angel. I\u2019m Jenny, Jenny from Dresden. . . Ah, Angel? Angel was called by Mr. Farrell just now, and he needed me to. . . Ah! Mr. Bertram, Angel is back! Do you want me to give him the phone?\u201d<\/p>

Qi Mu: “. . .”<\/p>

What was the Chinese saying again? Escape on the first day but can\u2019t hide on the fifteenth.<\/p>

Facing Jenny\u2019s expression full of expectation and excitement, Qi Mu could only sigh softly and take over the phone. Setting it to his ear, Qi Mu hadn\u2019t yet spoken when he heard the magnetic voice through the speaker\u2014\u2014<\/p>

\u201cQi Mu.\u201d<\/p>

Time suddenly flashed back to three days ago. It was this voice and intonation that gently said the same two words while the vinyl rotated.<\/p>

Qi Mu was stunned for a while. After the other man repeated his name, he let out a bitter, helpless laugh and answered, \u201cWell. . . I\u2019m here.\u201d<\/p>

Over the past three days, Qi Mu had ignored dozens of text messages and countless phone calls from this man. Now that he heard the man\u2019s voice again, it felt like a century had passed.<\/p>

On the other side of the line, Min Chen was silent for a while before whispering, \u201cI\u2019m in Paris.\u201d<\/p>

Qi Mu understood the meaning of his words in an instant. He was frozen for a moment before replying automatically, \u201cI\u2019m in Dresden?\u201d<\/p>

\u201cWell.\u201d The man answered. There was the sound of a car passing by, it sounded like Min Chen was walking. He then continued, \u201cI\u2019ve been very busy lately. Dresden is close to Berlin, but, in the next week, I might not have time to spare.\u201d<\/p>

Qi Mu didn\u2019t know how to answer. He could only hum as a reply.<\/p>

For a while, neither of them spoke. Qi Mu could only listen to the wind coming from the speaker, and suddenly, he heard a familiar bell chime, bright and clear.<\/p>

With a flash of inspiration, Qi Mu asked, \u201cWhere exactly in Paris are you?\u201d<\/p>

\u201cI\u2019m at your house, downstairs.\u201d After a pause, Min Chen\u2019s voice contained a slight smile, \u201cYou\u2019re not at home, the window is dark. It\u2019s only two floors. . . I should be able to climb up.\u201d<\/p>

Qi Mu finally couldn\u2019t stop himself from laughing. He could imagine the man with a very good face casually climbing up the window of his house and being caught by the police or neighbors but still calmly explaining it away as he just forgot his keys.<\/p>

Well, there\u2019s no doubt this man would do such a thing.<\/p>

\u201cDidn\u2019t you own a house in Paris? It\u2019s late now, don\u2019t climb my window if you\u2019re not going back to Berlin today. I locked the door and windows when I left.\u201d The joke made Qi Mu\u2019s tight nerves relaxed. He thought for a while and said, \u201cIf you\u2019re hungry, the croissants from the bakery you like across the street are good. The boss is German. You can talk to him for a while.\u201d<\/p>

Over there, it seemed Min Chen had started walking again. Qi Mu heard the whirring sound of wind blowing, then Min Chen\u2019s spoke again, \u201cWhat\u2019s the name of the bakery?\u201d<\/p>

This time, Min Chen spoke fluent German instead of Mandarin.<\/p>

Qi Mu automatically replied, \u201c1iebedin??\u201d But as soon as his voice fell, Qi Mu realized what he had said. In an instant, a red flush spread across the youth\u2019s fair cheeks.<\/p>

Qi Mu quickly reached out to cover his face and whispered, embarrassed, \u201cThe owner is German, and the shop\u2019s name. . . that. Well, I have something to do here. I can\u2019t talk to you, see you later.\u201d<\/p>

After that, Qi Mu hang up in a hurry without waiting for the other man\u2019s response. At this moment, he could feel his cheeks burning, and he had yet to recover from the impact of the words he just said.<\/p>

But when Qi Mu looked up, Jenny with startled eyes wide waited for him, \u201cMy God! Angel, did I mishear?! Did you just say \u20181ebedih\u2019 to Mr. Bertram?! It turns out. . . you guys are in that relationship!\u201d<\/p>

When Qi Mu spoke to Min Chen before, they used Mandarin which naturally, Jenny couldn\u2019t understand even a word of. But the phrase \u201c1iebedih\u201d was the only thing she did understand and that shocked her to the point she couldn\u2019t pick her jaw off the floor.<\/p>

Qi Mu: \u201c. . .No! Jenny, listen to me. There\u2019s a bakery named that near my house. Really!\u201d<\/p>

Jenny shook her head and said incredulously, \u201cBut, Angel, since it\u2019s a bakery in Paris, why is the name German?\u201d<\/p>

Qi Mu immediately responded in defense, \u201cJenny, that\u2019s because the owner is German, so he named his shop in German.\u201d<\/p>

Jenny looked at Qi Mu with disbelieving eyes, but her mouth still said, \u201cOkay, Angel, I see. Near your house, there\u2019s a bakery named \u20181iebedih\u2019 whose owner, though German, ran to Paris to open the bakery and named it \u20181iebedih\u2019. I see. Rest assured, Angel, I won\u2019t tell anyone.\u201d<\/p>

Qi Mu: “. . .”<\/p>

Ich liebe dich\u3002<\/p>

In German, it meant I love you.<\/p>

Then. . . Liebe dich?<\/p>

Yes\u2014\u2014love you.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
