Now that Min Chen had arrived, Daniel had no reason to hang around. Before he escaped, Qi Mu asked what he wanted to talk to him about.<\/p>

Daniel patted his thigh and scratched his head. \u201cLittle Angel, I just wanted to tell you that while this guy has all kinds of shortcomings, he\u2019s good at heart. Don\u2019t be deceived by his looks, he\u2019s really a fantastic guy!\u201d<\/p>

Qi Mu: \u201c…\u201d<\/p>

Was that how you used that saying? (Don\u2019t be deceived by his looks.)<\/em><\/p>

The man in question spared him a glance, \u201cCleaning up the aftermath? A little too late.\u201d<\/p>

Daniel: \u201c…I really wanted to say that! I brought him out here just to say good things!\u201d<\/p>

\u201cOh,\u201d Min Chen replied, indifferent, \u201cYet you said I\u2019m the devil?\u201d<\/p>

Daniel: \u201c…\u201d<\/p>

I can\u2019t argue with that, ah!<\/em><\/p>

Even if he jumped into the Rhine River<\/a>, Daniel wouldn\u2019t be free of this injustice!<\/p>

The orchestra continued its rehearsal that afternoon, and it wasn\u2019t good to disturb them. So Min Chen didn\u2019t take Qi Mu back in, and Qi Mu had no complaints. But, he didn\u2019t know\u2026<\/p>

Bai Ai\u2019s rehearsal hall was silent as a cemetery. Everyone, minus Christole, was lifeless, their expressions screamed\u2014\u2014<\/p>

It\u2019s so painful! I don\u2019t want to live anymore.<\/em><\/p>

Qi Mu couldn\u2019t possibly go back. If he did, he would drown in their tears.<\/p>

Therefore, Min Chen took Qi Mu to explore Bai Ai\u2019s headquarters for the afternoon. Qi Mu really enjoyed his time at the world\u2019s top orchestra\u2019s HQ.<\/p>

Unlike the Vienna headquarters, which was more traditional, Bai Ai\u2019s was modernized.<\/p>

His gaze swept along the smooth, black and white curves of the architecture. He spotted a collection room of records and his gaze widened.<\/p>

\u201cThe records here can\u2019t be listened to, to prevent them from being damaged.\u201d Min Chen stood in front of the glass cabinet with a smile on his face, \u201cBut there are some CDs you can borrow whenever.\u201d<\/p>

A little dazed, Qi Mu asked, \u201cReally?\u201d<\/p>

Min Chen replied calmly, \u201cReally.\u201d<\/p>

When they left the building, Qi Mu held a small bag in his right hand. The CDs inside tinkled quietly, in harmony with his steps.<\/p>

Since Berlin was Min Chen\u2019s home, he took his responsibility of showing Qi Mu around very seriously. He even brought him to a private restaurant on Friedrichstra\u00dfe<\/a> for a meal.<\/p>

Qi Mu wasn\u2019t a foodie\u2014for him, any meat dish not from Chinese cuisine was more or less the same.<\/p>

However, he never imagined German food would be so heavy. Most of the dishes on the menu were meat dishes. Though he preferred meat, even he would tire of it.<\/p>

So, once they left the restaurant, he hesitated for a while before finally asking, \u201c…Is there a supermarket nearby?\u201d<\/p>

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

The young man let out a quiet sigh, his expression conflicted. \u201cI want to buy some ingredients. Once we get to the hotel, I\u2019ll ask to borrow the kitchen and make supper.\u201d<\/p>

At the word \u201chotel,\u201d a teasing expression flashed through Min Chen\u2019s eyes but he promptly shook his head. He asked, \u201cYou\u2019re still hungry?\u201d\u00a0 After a pause, he added, \u201cWould Yang Chun Noodles<\/a> be fine?\u201d<\/p>

Qi Mu\u2019s eyes lit up. \u201cYou have Yang Chun Noodles?\u201d<\/p>

Rare to see him so excited, Min Chen couldn\u2019t help but gaze at him. After another pause, he nodded. \u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>

In the end, what happened that night was: the two left behind a table full of barely touched food in a high-end German restaurant and, under Min Chen\u2019s lead, found a small, inconspicuous Chinese restaurant and ordered two bowls of Yang Chun Noodles.<\/p>

Because they were fellow countrymen, the owner gave them two extra eggs. Qi Mu ate happily.<\/p>

After they got in the car, Qi Mu took out a CD and looked it over. It was from a New Year\u2019s concert of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra eight years earlier. Qi Mu had been on a tour with Vienna Symphony Orchestra at that time, so he didn\u2019t get to attend.<\/p>

Qi Mu rarely got to attend Wei Ai\u2019s New Year\u2019s concert. So, he borrowed several rare recordings that he hadn\u2019t had a chance to buy and planned to listen to them once he got back.<\/p>

The faint yellow light of the street lamps intermittently illuminated the youth\u2019s handsome face as the car passed them by. Qi Mu gently stroked the CDs, completely focused on them. No one spoke, but the silence wasn\u2019t awkward.<\/p>

The traffic light turned red, and the car slowed to a halt. Woken from his reverie, Qi Mu looked at the man beside him.<\/p>

This sudden stop made him realize something. This red light\u2026 was the first one they encountered since the car started, wasn\u2019t it?!<\/p>

As if hearing his thought, Min Chen turned to Qi Mu, keeping one hand on the steering wheel. With a smile in his deep eyes, he said, \u201cI have good luck, I rarely encounter red lights.\u201d<\/p>

Qi Mu couldn\u2019t help but laugh out loud. \u201cYes, I can see that,\u201d he said, turning to watch Berlin\u2019s brilliant nighttime scenery. Suddenly, he remembered something. \u201cRight, I forgot to ask if you booked a hotel. Did you?\u201d<\/p>

Min Chen stiffened but returned to normal a moment later. The red light turned green, and he stepped on the gas pedal, replying, \u201cIt\u2019s peak season, getting a hotel room is quite difficult. I asked Daniel to deal with it last night and he said there were no vacancies.\u201d<\/p>

Qi Mu stared at him blankly. \u201cNot even one?\u201d<\/p>

Min Chen nodded solemnly. \u201cYes, not even one.\u201d<\/p>

Qi Mu frowned. Helplessly, he said, \u201cIncredible, not even one… Last night, I thought since Berlin is so big, there would be no problem in booking a hotel. I didn\u2019t expect even Daniel couldn\u2019t find one.\u201d<\/p>

Qi Mu believed in Daniel\u2019s ability since the man wouldn\u2019t have been able to stay Bai Ai\u2019s manager for more than a decade if he wasn\u2019t capable. His extensive network of connections covered all of Europe.<\/p>

Min Chen shook his head. \u201cHe\u2019s turned stupid lately.\u201d<\/p>

Qi Mu: \u201c…\u201d<\/p>

Daniel, chewing a lovely steak at home: \u201cAchoo! …Who\u2019s saying bad things about me?\u201d<\/p>

The city\u2019s bright lights dyed the night sky a magnificent rose-red. In contrast to this man-made illumination, the moon was quite dull. It just hung quietly in the sky, its glow gentle and soothing.<\/p>

Since no hotel had free rooms, Qi Mu naturally followed Min Chen to his apartment in the center of Berlin.<\/p>

Seeing Min Chen bring his luggage from the garage, Qi Mu had an epiphany. He asked, \u201cDon\u2019t tell me… You knew I was going to stay here tonight, so you left my luggage here this afternoon?\u201d<\/p>

Min Chen froze for a moment but returned to normal before Qi Mu could react.<\/p>

He shook his head then turned to look into the young man\u2019s suspicious eyes. \u201cThis afternoon, I asked Daniel to look again. Qi Mu… I\u2019m not God, how could I have known?\u201d<\/p>

After thinking about it, Qi Mu felt this was reasonable. Anyway, he would stay in the guest room. As far as he knew, the layout of this apartment should be the same as the ones in B City and Vienna. It would definitely have two guest rooms, what\u2019s a big deal?<\/p>

So, when he saw the apartment wasn\u2019t even 100 m2<\/sup>, he stopped at the door and stared in shock. Finally, he asked, \u201cThis one… isn\u2019t two-stories?\u201d<\/p>

Min Chen nodded matter-of-factly. A smile could be heard in his voice as he said, \u201cWell, no.\u201d<\/p>

Qi Mu: \u201c…\u201d<\/p>

A clean, spacious living room occupied the majority of the room in the apartment. When, Qi Mu saw a lone 9ft Steinway piano in a smaller room, he seemed to realize something and his heart skipped a beat.<\/p>

\u201c…Do you have a guest room?\u201d<\/p>

Min Chen shook his head regretfully. \u201cA pity but no.\u201d<\/p>

Qi Mu: \u201c…\u201d<\/p>

After a while, he asked again, \u201cThen… how many bedrooms?\u201d<\/p>

Min Chen sighed, even more regretfully. \u201cI live alone.\u201d<\/p>

Qi Mu: \u201c…\u201d<\/p>

After looking around the apartment and confirming there really was just one bedroom, Qi Mu could only spread his hands helplessly. He looked at the tall man who couldn\u2019t quite conceal his smile and asked, \u201cMin Chen, do you know… basic Chinese hospitality?\u201d<\/p>

This took Min Chen by surprise, and a bad feeling appeared in his heart. Raising his eyebrows, he said, \u201cYes?\u201d<\/p>

\u201cI can see your sofa is quite large…\u201d Qi Mu continued meaningfully.<\/p>

Min Chen: \u201c…I guess?\u201d<\/p>

\u201cAnd your living room is big, much more spacious than the bedroom, ah…\u201d<\/p>

Min Chen: \u201c…\u201d<\/p>

\u201cI think this sofa is perfect for you…\u201d<\/p>

Min Chen: \u201c…I\u2019m sleeping on the couch?\u201d<\/p>

Seeing the man\u2019s expression screaming, \u201cI don\u2019t want to sleep on the sofa, don\u2019t make me sleep on the sofa, okay?\u201d<\/em>, Qi Mu finally couldn\u2019t stop himself from laughing. Sighing, he said, \u201cI\u2019ll sleep on the sofa. It\u2019s big, it shouldn\u2019t be a problem. I hope I\u2019ll be able to find a hotel room tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>

As the young man moved towards the sofa, Min Chen frowned and reached out to stop him.<\/p>

Surprised, Qi Mu turned to look at him. The other man hesitated for a while, before finally asking, \u201c…You really don\u2019t want to sleep in the bedroom?\u201d<\/p>

\u201cIf I sleep in the bedroom, where will you sleep?\u201d<\/p>

Min Chen: \u201c…\u201d<\/p>

In the bedroom as well<\/em>…<\/p>

After a long silence, the handsome man let out a quiet sigh. Admitting defeat, he said, \u201cLet\u2019s go\u2014my apartment is next door.\u201d<\/p>

Qi Mu: \u201c…What?\u201d<\/p>

Min Chen: \u201cThis is my piano room.\u201d<\/p>

Qi Mu: \u201c…………………………\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
