Like reflecting through water, it cast shadows over the small street behind the Semperoper Opera House. Dim, hazy lights shone from a few street lamps. Except for a handful of cars, no one passed by.\u00a0<\/p><p>The moment he saw the other man, Qi Mu wanted to turn around and walk away.<\/p><p>He entertained this childish idea. He knew the man had probably waited for a long time, so Qi Mu sighed heavily and accepted his fate.<\/p><p>Qi Mu waved his hand and smiled, \u201cLong time no see. What a coincidence, right?\u201d His voice was calm, as if nothing happened.<\/p><p>Min Chen\u2019s eyebrows climbed high at seeing the youth so calm. The touch of a smile appeared in his gaze. He shook his head. \u201cYes, quite the coincidence. I just waited for three minutes.\u201d<\/p><p>Qi Mu: \u201c. . .\u201d<\/p><p>Three minutes? That meant. . . If he had left four minutes earlier, he wouldn\u2019t have met this guy?<\/p><p>Guessing the younger man\u2019s thoughts, Min Chen\u2019s smile deepened. He added another blow, \u201cI also wanted to visit Mr. Farrell and Mrs. Audrey this evening. Let\u2019s go together?\u201d<\/p><p>Qi Mu: \u201c. . .\u201d<\/p><p>Cold moonlight shone unobstructed through the sky, and the cool night breeze dispelled the summer heat.<\/p><p>Qi Mu had thoroughly accepted the reality of his situation. He no longer acted dumb, nor did he avoid Min Chen. He held his violin case in front and leaned against the brick wall next to the other man.<\/p><p>Neither spoke. Everything Min Chen had to say was already said.\u00a0<\/p><p>Min Chen had never been good at expressing himself. That simple \u201cI like you\u201d already exhausted the restrained, introverted man.<\/p><p>Qi Mu tilted his head upward, looking at the moon.<\/p><p>The bright moonlight overpowered the stars. It was a rare sight, because the city\u2019s neon lights usually dimmed the moonlight.<\/p><p>Neither spoke, but the atmosphere was beautifully tranquil. The breeze passed by, ruffling leaves on both sides of the road.<\/p><p>Just when Min Chen thought the young man who had avoided him for a month wasn\u2019t going to speak, his pleasant voice rang out\u2014\u2014<\/p><p>\u201cYour record. . . I heard it.\u201d His tone was helpless. \u201cI listened to the very last piece. It was the most perfect recording of Min Chen or Auston Bertram I\u2019ve ever heard.\u201d<\/p><p>Pondering for a while, Min Chen finally nodded. \u201cEn.\u201d<\/p><p>The white moonlight shone on the young man\u2019s face. His smile softened, and he said, \u201cActually. . . I\u2019m not a person who tends to run away. I just. . . don\u2019t know what to say.\u201d<\/p><p>Min Chen looked at the younger man then asked, \u201cWhat is it?\u201d<\/p><p>Instead of directly answering him, Qi Mu began to recall. \u201cWhen I first heard the name \u2018Min Chen,\u2019 it was over a decade ago, close to twenty years, probably. I was surprised, thinking a Chinese won Xiao Sai with full marks?\u201d<\/p><p>Qi Mu shook his head helplessly. \u201cSince then, I began to pay attention to him. The first piece I listened to was Bach\u2019s \u300a<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/St_Matthew_Passion\">St Matthew Passion<\/a>\u300b, then his Chopin, Beethoven, Schumann, Schubert and finally. . . Liszt.\u201d<\/p><p>After a pause, Qi Mu looked up at Min Chen. With a teasing nod, he asked, \u201cOh yes. I discovered long ago. . . You seldom play Mendelssohn. Why?\u201d<\/p><p>In such a quiet and deserted street, they spoke softly, and the atmosphere was harmonious.<\/p><p>Min Chen stared at the young man, feeling as if the light of the moon was drawn into his pale eyes. He smiled and asked in return, \u201cI graduated from Leipzig Conservatory, you know that, right?\u201d<\/p><p>Qi Mu nodded. \u201cYes.\u201d<\/p><p>&#8220;Do you know who founded the conservatory?\u201d<\/p><p>Qi Mu immediately answered, \u201cMendelssohn.\u201d Smiling, he added, \u201cTo be precise, this was Germany\u2019s first conservatory of music.\u201d<\/p><p>Black trench coat blending into the night\u2019s shadows, Min Chen nodded. \u201cWhen I first came to Leipzig, I was invited to perform at the school festival. The festival was the school\u2019s anniversary, and all the performances were related to the conservatory\u2019s celebrities or pieces by the founder; Mr. Mendelssohn was the most popular. But there\u2019s a tradition. . .\u201d<\/p><p>He paused for a moment then continued, \u201cMendelssohn\u2019s style is classical romantic. Once you\u2019ve decided to play something by him, you need to find someone else to perform with you. At the time, the concertmaster of the Spanish National Orchestra was head of the violin department. That person was, um. . .\u201d Musing on his choice of words, Min Chen finally found suitable ones: \u201cThat person liked my music very much. . . and was a girl.\u201d<\/p><p>Unable to keep from laughing out loud, Qi Mu finally understood what happened.<\/p><p>Min Chen didn\u2019t seem to have heard the youth\u2019s laughter and continued with a blank expression, \u201cI didn\u2019t want to play with her, and many of the notable pianists and violinists at the time were like her. . .They were bad news. But I couldn\u2019t exactly tell the truth either, so I could only say: I haven\u2019t practiced Mendelssohn much and I didn\u2019t think I could play it to its utmost potential.\u201d<\/p><p>The picture immediately played out in his mind, and Qi Mu smiled helplessly, \u201cYou could play Liszt\u2019s well at the time, giving such a reason. . . did they believe it?\u201d<\/p><p>\u201cYes.\u201d Min Chen solemnly said, \u201cBecause I\u2019m the one who said it.\u201d<\/p><p>Qi Mu: \u201c. . .\u201d<\/p><p>\u201cHaving skills doesn\u2019t equate being able to play well. I said I couldn\u2019t perform Mendelssohn\u2019s romance, and it was the truth. I am an honest and sincere man.\u201d<\/p><p>Such a funny sentence made Qi Mu laugh, and he turned to the person beside him, but when he did so, he froze.<br \/>The man\u2019s profound face was serious, and his deep dark eyes stared right at him as he said in a solemn tone, \u201cI couldn\u2019t play a romantic piece with her because. . .\u201d<\/p><p>\u201cQi Mu, I didn\u2019t like her.\u201d<\/p><p>The topic suddenly came full circle, and Qi Mu\u2019s eyes widened a little. After a while, he sighed. \u201cMin Chen. . . we are both very busy. I can\u2019t develop my career in Berlin, and you cannot give up Berlin. Europe is small, but in some cases, it can be quite vast too. As people separated all day and night, do you think. . . it\u2019s possible for us?\u201d<\/p><p>\u201cDo you like me?\u201d<\/p><p>The words stunned Qi Mu, and before he could respond, a shadow fell over him.<\/p><p>The taller man completely blocked the moonlight. Hands on either side of Qi Mu, he looked down at him. This posture was quite aggressive and, more importantly, it made Qi Mu feel like he had no escape.<\/p><p>It was at this moment Qi Mu found out\u2014\u2014<\/p><p>He was half a head shorter than his opponent.<\/p><p>This was the first time Qi Mu viewed the man from such a close distance. From the moment he first heard the name \u201cMin Chen,\u201d to the moment they met officially last year, this was the first time they were close enough they could feel each other\u2019s breath.<\/p><p>Cheeks flushed, Qi Mu coughed a little and carefully looked away, \u201cNow isn\u2019t the time to think about this. . . Min Chen, I can\u2019t go to Berlin, and you can\u2019t leave it for another decade. We won\u2019t have time for each other, we. . .\u201d<\/p><p>\u201cDo you like me?\u201d<\/p><p>Min Chen repeated the question, halting Qi Mu in his words. After some thought, Qi Mu understood the man\u2019s meaning and could only laugh weakly in his mind. He lifted his head to look into Min Chen\u2019s attentive eyes and said:<\/p><p>\u201cI like you.\u201d<\/p><p>Of course, the answer was \u2018yes\u2019.<\/p><p>Otherwise, he wouldn\u2019t blush at his confession. Nor would he avoid the man for half a month. Qi Mu wasn\u2019t a hesitant person. If he didn\u2019t like it, he would say so frankly. It\u2019s precisely because he likes him. . .<\/p><p>That he didn\u2019t dare to answer.<\/p><p>Speaking those three short little words immediately made Qi Mi feel lighter, but he didn\u2019t notice the man, who was usually calm, had held himself stiffly up until then and let out a relieved sigh. Min Chen looked down at the delicate face of the younger man and saw the helplessness and hesitation in his expression.<\/p><p>Min Chen said confidently, \u201cAs long as you like me. . . there will be no problems.\u201d<\/p><p>Shocked, Qi Mu automatically said, \u201cBut I can\u2019t develop in Berlin, and Min Chen, I don\u2019t want to be a solo violinist. I want to be in an orchestra, I want to. . .\u201d<\/p><p>\u201cI can leave.\u201d<\/p><p>Qi Mu stopped abruptly, eyes wide in surprise, \u201cHow can you? You\u2019ve been conductor for ten years, and you\u2019re only 31 this year. Bai Ai has the principle of \u2018no change until death\u2019 so you can easily stay for another three or four decades!\u201d<\/p><p>\u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter,\u201d Min Chen calmly replied.<\/p><p>Qi Mu, on the other hand, was anxious, \u201cBut that\u2019s Bai Ai!\u201d<\/p><p>Warmth flooded Min Chen\u2019s heart at the young man\u2019s anxiety for him. His lips curled upward, and he softly asked, \u201cWhat do you think. . . of Karl Thomas?\u201d<\/p><p>Qi Mu answered, \u201cMr. Karl? He\u2019s very good. Though he\u2019s not in an orchestra, he\u2019s excellent. He receives invitations from world-famous orchestras to conduct every year and performs globally. Why do you suddenly. . .\u201d Qi Mu had an epiphany. \u201cYou want to be like him?\u201d<\/p><p>Right now, the world\u2019s top four conductors were Min Chen of Bai Ai, Albert Dorenza of Wei Ai, Farrell Lewis of the Dresden Symphony, and Karl Thomas who wasn\u2019t affiliated with any orchestra.<\/p><p>Min Chen\u2019s eyebrows raised gracefully. \u201cCan\u2019t I? Karl\u2019s doing well so far.\u201d<\/p><p>Though he knew Karl had a great reputation was respected and worshiped by the masses, he didn\u2019t know why but the thought of this man leaving Bai Ai for him filled Qi Mu\u2019s heart with pain and guilt.<\/p><p>Now that this man was willing to do this. . .<\/p><p>What else was he worrying about?<\/p><p>The youth\u2019s expression suddenly became a calm smile. He looked up at the man in front of him and said, imposingly, \u201cYou are not allowed to leave Bai Ai.\u201d After a slight pause, he amended, \u201cYou are not allowed to leave Bai Ai for me.\u201d<\/p><p>Confronted with such a fierce tone, Min Chen was flabbergasted. \u201c. . . What?\u201d<\/p><p>\u201cI don\u2019t want my lover to give up his career he\u2019s been working on for ten years because of my circumstances.\u201d<\/p><p>Min Chen frowned. \u201cI\u2019m not giving it up. I\u2019ll be as free as Karl. . .\u201d<\/p><p>This time, it was his turn to stop abruptly as he realized what he\u2019d just heard. Eyes wide, he asked, a tremble in his voice, \u201cYou. . . what did you just say?\u201d<\/p><p>Qi Mu raised an eyebrow at his rare uncertain expression and, with eyes full of laughter, he repeated, \u201cI said, I don\u2019t want my lover to abandon his career for me. . .\u201d<\/p><p>Suddenly, he was wrapped in the man\u2019s arms. Min Chen\u2019s powerful arms wound tightly around his waist, and his vigorous heart rate seemed contagious, making his own beat wildly too.<\/p><p>The man whispered gently in his ear, \u201cQi Mu. . . I like you.\u201d<\/p><p>Knowing how childish this man was, Qi Mu patted his back and nodded then whispered, \u201cWell. . . I like you too.\u201d<\/p><p>But the man didn\u2019t stop and, instead, repeated, \u201cI like you.\u201d<\/p><p>Qi Mu was quite dumbfounded. \u201cYes, yes, yes, I know you like me.\u201d<\/p><p>\u201cI like you.\u201d<\/p><p>\u201c. . .\u201d<\/p><p>\u201cI like you.\u201d<\/p><p>\u201c. . .\u201d<\/p><p>\u201cI like you.\u201d<\/p><p>\u201c. . . Stop playing around!\u201d<\/p><p>\u201cCome to Berlin with me.\u201d<\/p><p>\u201c. . .\u201d<\/p><p>After a pause, Qi Mu pushed the overbearing man away and said, \u201cI just said I cannot develop in Berlin.\u201d<\/p><p>Min Chen\u2019s face serious as he said earnestly, \u201cOne mont, just one month. . . wait until I\u2019m done with Bai Ai\u2019s schedule this month, then I will accompany you to Paris or wherever you want.\u201d<\/p><p>Qi Mu: \u201c. . .\u201d<\/p><p>He sighed gently. \u201cTeacher will be back next week. I have to go back to Paris, Min Chen.\u201d<\/p><p>\u201cIgnore him.\u201d<\/p><p>Qi Mu: \u201c. . .Can you not be so childish?\u201d<\/p><p>\u201cI can teach you the violin.\u201d Min Chen\u2019s black eyes were solemn and sincere. He said firmly, \u201cI will teach you in Berlin. I have a lot of time, and I\u2019m more patient than Reed.\u201d<\/p><p>Qi Mu: \u201c. . . When you can play Paganini\u2019s \u300aLa Campanella\u300b to my satisfaction, I will think about it.\u201d After a moment, he hastened to add, \u201cOn the violin!\u201d<\/p><p>The hope that was kindled in the man\u2019s eyes vanished in an instant. \u201c. . .\u201d<\/p><p>Under the moonlight, Qi Mu stared at the man\u2019s unhappy face with slight amusement and helplessness. The man\u2019s facial features appeared all the more handsome under the moon. He appeared softer, somehow, and his pair of slightly drooping eyes were just as he remembered them, unfathomable.<\/p><p>The young man unconsciously reached out and touched the other man\u2019s face. The movement froze them both. Qi Mu instantly wanted to retract his hand, but it was suddenly grasped by the older man.<\/p><p>Qi Mu raised his head in surprise and, in turn, met Min Chen\u2019s dark gaze. As if knowing what came next, Qi Mu tried to break free but found he couldn\u2019t escape the man\u2019s hold.<\/p><p>In the end, QI Mu listened to his rapidly rising heartbeat and gave up the struggle, closing his eyes.<\/p><p>An a dark, quiet street, a tall gentleman pulled a younger man\u2019s wrist and leaned forward. The latter didn\u2019t resist at all, almost as if waiting for it.<\/p><p>People in love needed only to look into each other\u2019s eyes in moments like these, and their reason would be overtaken by love.<\/p><p>Qi Mu could almost hear the man\u2019s heartbeat, could even feel the breath from Min Chen\u2019s nose. His throat felt a bit dry, and he was a little nervous. Then\u2014\u2014<\/p><p>\u201cBang\u2014\u2014\u201d<\/p><p>\u201cYou pervert! Who are you! How dare you touch our Little Seven!!!\u201d<\/p><p>The angry roar broke off Qi Mu\u2019s thoughts. He immediately opened his eyes and found Min Chen staring right back with a blank expression, numerous lily petals littered atop his head.<\/p><p>\u201cNo. . . we need to speak in German here. . . anyway, pervert! Who let you touch my Little Seven, let go of your dirty hands!\u201d The person changed to English, \u201cI\u2019m going to call the police, don\u2019t you run, you pervert!\u201d<\/p><p>The person smashed the bouquet of lilies over Min Chen, but when they saw Min Chen refused to loosen his grip on Qi Mu, they grew even angier.<\/p><p>\u201cEven Europe has this kind of pervert! You. . . Ah?! Mr. Min?!!!\u201d<\/p><p>Qi Mu, who had long been dumbfounded into speechlessness: \u201c. . .\u201d<\/p><p>Min Chen, who was covered in lilies and wearing a blank face: \u201c. .
