"He came, but something urgent happened and he left again." Duan Ran replied simply and neatly, "So I was pressed for time, so I didn't tell you anything."
Shen Qingci expressed his understanding and said: "I know, I heard that their band will start touring in early June."
Duan Ran curled his lips and said nonchalantly: "I don't know about this."
Shen Qingci paused and did not continue the topic.
Then he turned to Qin Jian and warned: "No matter what, I still hope that you can carefully consider the choice of school. If you have any questions, please call us at any time."
"I will be careful." Qin Jian nodded, "Thank you."
On the occasion of separation.
Liao Linjun rummaged through his bag, took out a key and handed it to Qin Jian, smiling: "After the exam, take some time to help me go to the store to check it out, and by the way, I can tune those pianos. It's my summer homework."
.”
Qin Jian took the key and said, "Sister Lin Jun, do you want to stay here?"
"We can't go back yet," Liao Linjun spread his hands and said, "There are still some things to deal with. Okay, I won't waste your time. Please pay attention to safety on the road tomorrow."
...
The four of them said goodbye.
After Qin Jian and Duan Ran left, Liao Linjun asked Shen Qingci with some confusion, "Why didn't you just tell him that you were going back to Huaguo Yuan?"
"Let him choose."
"Who knows what will happen next."
Shen Qingci smiled.
moment.
"Should we go back or find a place to have a drink?"
"I should have two drinks, I'm finally done with my work," Liao Linjun rubbed his temples, "Let's go, sister will treat you today."
...
...
Three o'clock in the afternoon the next day.
Vienna International Airport lobby.
Qin Jian finished checking in for his boarding pass and returned to the baggage area.
In the corner of the bench, Duan Ran was looking at her luggage quietly. She seemed to be in good spirits, but there was still something on her face.
Compared to the last farewell in Tokyo, the atmosphere this time was a little more relaxed.
Last night, the two of them left the restaurant, visited the night market, and went to a pub where Mozart often visited to experience it.
The two of them set out early in the morning and spent the whole morning touring the Sissi Museum. They returned to the hotel for lunch and then rushed to the airport.
"I'm ready to board the plane."
"Well, well, well, well, well, then," Duan Ran stood up and smoothed the hem of his skirt, "Let's go, I'll see you off first today."
...
At the last security checkpoint, there were not many people queuing up.
The two stopped.
"Go back and prepare well for the college entrance examination."
Duan Ran patted Qin Jian's shoulder and joked: "If you can't pass the deadline, you can come to Paris to find me."
"Good idea." Qin Jian smiled.
"Okay, okay, let's go, let's go." Duan Ran tried his best to look as straight as possible.
"Wait a minute," Qin Jian said, taking off his backpack, taking out a cowhide bag and handing it to Duan Ran. "It's not a gift, but I hope it can bring you some help. I wish you good luck in your exams."
.”
"Ah," Duan Ran was a little surprised and took the paper bag in surprise, "Thank you."
She was about to open it, but was stopped by Qin Jian, "You can read it after I leave."
"good."
Duan Ran nodded.
After a while, the boarding announcement for Yanjing was heard again in the hall.
Qin Jian rearranged his backpack and opened the suitcase's lever.
"Qin Jian."
At this moment, Duan Ran suddenly stopped him.
After a moment, she asked: "Do you have any questions?"
Qin Jian smiled, "For example?"
Duan Ran hesitated and said, "I didn't tell you that my family came during the competition. Would you be unhappy?"
Looking at the figure in front of him, Qin Jian sighed. Just last night, when Shen Qingci mentioned Duan Ran's father, he had some doubts in his heart.
He has never known Duan Ran's family.
But everyone has their own secrets. If the other person doesn't tell them, he will naturally have his own reasons, so he doesn't need to ask anything.
However, if the other person feels anxious because he has kept something from himself, this is not what he wants to see.
Especially the person in front of me.
Qin Jian took off his backpack, took a step forward, and wrapped his hand around the girl's gentle waist.
Without waiting for the other person's body to tremble, he gently stroked the other person's thin back with his other hand.
Holding Duan Ran in his arms, a girl's unique fragrance hit his nostrils, and for a moment, Qin Jian felt a strange electric shock-like feeling in his body.
The height ratio of the two people makes the hug look particularly coordinated.
Feeling the warmth from Qin Jian, Duan Ran's mind went blank for a moment.
The arms slide down from the front to the sides.
The next second.
Her chin rested on Qin Jian's left shoulder, and her hands unconsciously wrapped around his waist.
Time seems to stand still at this moment.
The chaotic airport is no longer noisy in their world.
There is only each other's heartbeat, you chasing each other.
Plopping non-stop.
...
Time passed by second by second, as if it was just a moment, and two minutes passed.
Until the announcement from the airport came to their ears again.
Qin Jian patted Duan Ran's back gently, "Tell me when you want to say something."
"Is there any more?" Duan Ran said in Qin Jian's ear as if he was angry.
Qin Jian thought for a while and said softly: "No more for now."
moment.
"hiss!!!"
Qin Jian took a breath of air and his legs almost went weak.
A sharp pain came from his left shoulder.
then.
He felt a touch of coldness on his left cheek, as if he had been lightly pecked by two pieces of cold catkin.
The next second.
The delicate body in his arms slipped out of his arms as flexibly as a fish.
Duan Ran took two steps back, with a blush still hanging on his face.
"The flight is going to be postponed."
She winked cutely, pursed her lips and said, "Have a nice trip."
Qin Jian rubbed the bitten shoulder. Women are indeed animals that can tell the difference between one second and the next.
But this farewell gift is quite nice.
It's time to go.
"Take care of yourself."
"Take care of yourself."
It is estimated that this farewell will have to wait until five months.
"Don't forget what you promised me on the first day."
"I remember."
Without stopping any longer and taking one last look, Qin Jian picked up his luggage and walked towards the security check.
...
The moment Qin Jian's figure disappeared from the security gate, Duan Ran opened the cowhide bag in his hand.
There are six exquisite hand-painted musical scores inside.
"This handwriting belongs to him." Duan Ran's heart skipped a beat.
Then, she looked at it non-stop.
Until the last page, her eyes rested on the lower left corner of the score.
‘Chris Variations Op.7’
‘14.05.09 21:04’
‘Chris’
"May 9th, that is to say before coming to Vienna."
It turned out that this was the case, Duan Ran smiled in his heart.
Just then, her cell phone buzzed.
a message.
let it go: hope you like it
Duan Duan Duan Duan: I will treasure it, Mr. Chris.
Then, she left here.
The plane to Paris is about to take off.
...
With the end of the Mozart Music Competition, Vienna, the city that symbolizes the birthplace of classical music, has also gained some peace, but the new performance season of the Musikverein will come in the near future in half a month.
That's right, the Vienna University of Arts and Performing Arts is preparing a grand world tour concert about string quartets.
Liao Linjun finished his review work and went back to school to participate in this matter.
This time she played the cello part, and at her recommendation, Tong Xin, a young violinist from China living in Austria, took on the role of first violin in this quartet.
And Shen Qingci is also making final plans for returning to China. How to become an excellent piano teacher in a university is also a new life challenge for him.
After all, he is a very picky person.
He Jing has just settled into her small apartment next to Eastman University, which is not bad. There is a new American-made Baldwin piano in her apartment, which is enough for her.
After Duan Ran returned to Paris, he locked himself in his bedroom all day and practiced the piano day and night.
Although the fourth place result in the duo group made her feel pretty good. After all, k448 only worked together twice from rehearsal to stage. This result was enough to be proud of, but the sixth place result in the junior group brought her a lot of satisfaction.
She had a sense of urgency, and she didn't want to be left behind too much.
It is worth mentioning that she told Rigel that she wanted to change the exam repertoire, which made the other party a little embarrassed, but with her insistence, the other party still made concessions.
As for Qin Jian.
In the middle of the night after he returned to China, he suddenly received a call from Liao Linjun in his sleep. The main content of the call was——
"Congratulations, first place."
He had forgotten how he replied to the other party at that time, it was probably some simple words of thanks, and then continued to sleep soundly.
When he woke up the next morning, he had almost forgotten about it.
It wasn't until noon that he received a flurry of phone calls that gave him a sense of winning.
Of course, there is also a bonus that will arrive in the afternoon.
In fact, he was not surprised by this result, except for a certain person who missed the game.
However, he believes that one day in the future, perhaps in another arena or somewhere else, they will meet again on the stage.
...
The end of a period heralds the beginning of a period.
June, which symbolizes farewell, is twisting her graceful figure and slowly walking towards people.
