"Brother, why is there no Danube in the Danube Park?"
After two hours of wanton play, Xiao Duanxuan could only lie on Qin Jian's shoulder tiredly.
It's just that the person being asked didn't know how to explain it. It was also his first time to go to this park.
"It was probably dark when we arrived and it went home to find its mother."
Xiao Duanxuan thought this was very reasonable. She nodded, stopped asking questions, and continued to bury her head.
Although she also missed her mother, her brother's shoulders were also very comfortable.
And after most of the day's contact, she found that her brother was not stupid at all.
My sister's previous description was wrong and she needs to continue to observe.
As the three of them walked home, the night sky was already covered with a coat of darkness.
Duan Ran followed Qin Jian, listening to the conversation between the elder and the younger, and smiling from time to time.
The position that should have belonged to her was occupied by Duan Xuan.
She is almost completely sure of the future. If she and Qin Jian really have a child, then the child will definitely occupy more of her position.
snort.
Thinking of this, Duan Ran gently patted Duan Xuan's butt.
Seeing that the other party didn't respond, it was later discovered that the other party had fallen asleep.
She moved to Qin Jian's side and got closer, imitating Duan Xuan's tone and jokingly said, "Brother, you have worked hard tonight."
Qin Jian smiled and did not answer, then said seriously, "You will go out at 7:30 tomorrow morning, and I will go out at 9:00. What should I do with Xuanxuan? Can I leave it at home?"
"I was just thinking about it," Duan Ran continued, "Normally she has no problem being alone at home, but this is the day she just arrived, and I'm worried that she will be scared to be alone."
After returning home, Duan Ran coaxed the half-asleep Duan Xuan to go to the bathroom to wash up, and then sent him back to the small bedroom.
In the living room, Qin Jian was sitting on the sofa with his cell phone, flipping through tonight's messages. When he saw Duan Ran coming to the living room, he asked, "Are you asleep?"
"Sleeping." Duan Ran stretched out, leaned over, and glanced at Qin Jian's phone screen, "What's wrong?"
Qin Jian said calmly, "Argerich is going to hold a master class at the Hua Guo Yuan at the end of next month. Teacher Shen asked me if I can go back."
Duan Ran: "Do you want to go back?"
"Forget it, we are too busy in June."
Putting down the phone, the topic returned to Duan Xuan, "How about I take her to class tomorrow morning?"
Duan Ran thought about it, and through the various interactions between Qin Jian and Duan Xuan tonight, she felt that this plan was, "Then I will leave you two alone tomorrow morning. I will come back after class at noon and I will cook and wait for you."
Qin Jian: "...How about you wait until I come back?"
Duan Ran opened his eyes and said dissatisfiedly, "No need!! Go and take a bath quickly."
——
"Good night."
"good night."
Both of them chose restraint tonight.
It's not just that the bedroom door is open.
——
Early the next morning, the buzzing alarm clock woke up Duan Ran and Qin Jian sat up at the same time.
"Are you up too?" Little Fatty Duan looked very energetic as soon as he woke up today.
Qin Jian's eyes were slightly dull and he breathed a sigh of relief.
"I had a nightmare. I dreamed that a fat man called me daddy. The scariest thing was that I even touched his head."
"Tsk tsk tsk tsk -"
...
Duan Ran left in a hurry before he could eat the breakfast prepared by Qin Jian. Before leaving, he once again asked Qin to go through the details of washing Duan Xuan, tying his hair and changing clothes.
After making breakfast, Qin Jian went to the study door and knocked several times, "Xuanxuan, get up."
After a moment, the door was opened.
The bleary-eyed little Loli had obviously adapted to everything here. She breathed a sigh of relief and greeted the person in front of the door, "Good morning, brother," while she poked her little head around to look for traces of her sister.
Qin Jian explained today's arrangements while coaxing the confused little Loli into the bathroom.
"After washing, we will eat."
"Okay!" Duan Xuan finally cheered up when it came to breakfast.
The process of washing my face was smooth, but the part of tying my hair was a bit...
During the whole process, Xiao Duanxuan kept watching his hair being put into various strange shapes, and sometimes even being pulled painfully.
But she found that her brother was indeed a bit stupid.
Five minutes later, Qin Jian also gave up all the hard-to-realize ideas and simply tied Duan Xuan's hair into two braids.
The two looked in the mirror, and Qin Jian nodded with satisfaction.
Xiao Duanxuan shook his head, frowned and pointed at the pigtail on the left: "It's crooked."
"It looks good when it's crooked. Chinese children all like braids like this."
"Really brother?"
"Um."
Qin Jian licked Duan Xuan's crooked braid and praised him seriously, "It's very beautiful."
"...Did your sister tie her hair like this when she was a child?"
"She likes it best."
"Then why didn't she pierce me..."
"You will understand this when you grow up."
"But mother said I have grown up."
"Xuanxuan, are you hungry?"
"Hungry."
"Let's go have breakfast."
"But I haven't brushed my teeth yet."
"...OK."
...
After all, the breakfast was very good, although it only had millet porridge with a little pickles. Xiao Duanxuan quickly forgot about his crooked braids while holding the small bowl.
The two of them were eating when Duan Ran received a text message.
Qin Jian read the reply and said, "Everything went well."
After the meal, he put it into a small skirt that Duan Ran had prepared in advance, and then the two of them dressed up and set off.
On the way to the classroom.
"Brother, will there be many people in the classroom?"
"Don't worry, we will stay together until get out of class is over."
"That hook."
Xiao Duanxuan stopped and raised his face to look at Qin Jian.
Under the sun, she blinked a pair of heterochromatic pupils and stretched out her left hand seriously.
moment.
Qin Jian knelt down and hooked up with her.
During the process of pulling the hook, Duan Xuan said in a childish tone full of ritual: "Pull the hook and it will not change for a hundred years. Those who regret it will get cavities."
Tooth decay? Qin Jian smiled, guessing that Duan Ran must have taught him this.
"stamp."
The two thumbs, one big and one small, press each other hard at the same time.
At the end of the ceremony, Qin Jian stood up, holding his big hand with his little one again, and the two walked towards the classroom.
As more and more eyes came around, Xiao Duanxuan held Qin Jian's hand harder and harder.
At the same time, she was also quietly looking at this university where even the winner of the Chopin Competition would attend.
"Professor Koch."
In the corridor, Qin Jian carried Duan Xuan and met Koch in front of the classroom door.
——
As class approaches, many people are already sitting in classroom 1021 of the teaching building.
Today is Koch’s composition theory class, and most of the people attending the class are third- and fourth-year students in the composition department.
Of course, there are also students from other departments who come to take classes, such as several members of the Gamma Ensemble, and campus stars like Qin Jian.
Teachers and students in the college are already used to the latter.
It would make sense to say that Qin Jian came to the classroom at the beginning of the semester just for some kind of show, but half a semester has passed and everyone can still see him in various classes.
It’s a variety of classes.
He will appear in chamber music ensemble classes of the Orchestral Department and in open classes of the Conducting Department.
He looks like a good student, and he is also the kind of good student who is the most active in completing his homework.
Class started soon, and the classroom gradually became quiet.
When there were two figures, one big and one small, inside the door, the classroom became slightly chaotic again.
"Look, it's so cute."
Erin couldn't help but poke the listless Frank next to her.
Frank obviously also noticed that it was not Duan Ran who accompanied Qin Jian to class today. He immediately cheered up and asked, "Is this his daughter?"
These words made Erin roll her eyes, "Idiot."
On the other side, Katya still looked at the figure that displeased her with an almost disgusted look.
Especially today, Qin Jian's appearance made her even more unhappy.
Apparently, more than just a few members of the Gamma Ensemble were attracted by the scene in front of the door, whispers rang out in the classroom.
I don't know what Koch said to Qin Jian, but Qin Jian smiled and nodded, and then led Duan Xuan to sit in an empty seat in the second row.
Koch stepped onto the podium and started today's content following the two small polyphonic writings in the previous class.
By the end of the lecture, most of the class had passed.
15 minutes before the end of get out of class, according to the old practice, it was time to perform homework A and B again.
The atmosphere in the classroom became much more relaxed.
"Get ready, everyone."
Koch gave up his seat on the podium and walked to the middle of the classroom with three pieces of music scores. When passing by the second row, he placed a piece of music scores in front of Qin Jian.
The score is written in large capitals - 'Little Fugue for Piano, Katia.'
Koch then handed out the remaining two copies of the score.
There were a total of four groups in the last class, among which Qin Jian’s homework was performed by Katya and received unanimous praise from everyone.
And today he will play Katya's homework.
There was something dramatic about the two playing each other's music.
Almost everyone in the classroom knew that Katya had never had a good impression of Qin Jian.
The reason is only known to a few people in the Gamma Ensemble - Katya had secretly been secretly committed to Adams as early as her undergraduate studies - and on the night when Adams did not win the Shaw Competition, Katya smashed the Austrian instrument on the spot.
Fedor's tablet.
So from every angle, this scene looks like a special arrangement by Koch.
After all, these two have creative and live performance abilities that are ahead of everyone in the classroom.
A master's work is performed by another master, which sounds really refreshing.
And everyone expects Qin Jian to be the first to step onto the podium, so it would be best if he goes out of his way to show off his much-rumored superpower - photographic memory.
...
Qin Jian picked up the music score in front of him and hurriedly flipped through it.
The 94-bar work, the Petit Fugue, is far from short.
The structure is tight and the phrases are clear.
It’s just that the handwritten printed version looks quite difficult.
Then he read each section carefully from the beginning.
Xiao Duan Xuan on the side looked at Qin Jian seriously with his pigtails crooked.
She felt that Qin Jian's way of reading music was very old-fashioned, like some of the uncles she had seen, but better-looking than those uncles.
——
Three minutes later, the classroom became quiet as a young man with curly brown hair stood up.
Amid a few loud cheers, he shyly walked up to the podium holding the music score.
This young man named Kansi is not a piano major, but this does not affect his skillful performance of the assignment he received.
At the end of the performance, he briefly described the work.
"A very interesting piece of work, Dani."
Finally, he looked at the owner of this work, a quiet girl with short hair sitting on the left hand side of the aisle in the fourth row of seats.
The girls expressed their gratitude to Kansi with applause.
Then the second performer also stood up, a fat guy with a mohawk haircut.
The next second there was a burst of joy and cheers in the classroom.
Qin Jian raised his head and glanced, and then he couldn't help but marveled in his heart.
The other party didn't have any music score in his hand.
He knew a little about Little Fatty. He came from Germany and had studied piano with Talibek for several years. He was now a fourth-year student in the composition department.
The little fat man sat down and started playing directly.
The music continued smoothly for about thirty seconds, and he completed the task with a beautiful ending.
Although the work is not long, no one knows exactly whether he played it correctly. After all, this is a "premier performance."
However, judging from the expression of the owner of the work after listening to it, the little fat man’s memorization should be pretty good.
After explaining the work, the little fat man returned to his seat under bright applause.
It took eight minutes to recite a 23-bar two-part piece, and he felt that he had completed it very beautifully.
It's just that Koch didn't seem to be satisfied with the little fat man. From the moment the little fat man stood up empty-handed, Koch curled his lips.
The second student also completed the task, and the teacher became quiet again.
At the same time, everyone's eyes couldn't help but focus on Qin Jian's position.
As if feeling the gaze from behind, Qin Jian closed the work in his hand.
He turned and looked to his side.
Xiao Duanxuan was counting the beard on Qin Jian's chin closely, when the man suddenly turned his head, she couldn't help but tremble.
Qin Jian said: "It's time to take the stage."
Of course Xiao Duanxuan understood, but she didn't want to stay down there alone, and when she thought that the two of them had already hooked up, she immediately showed an aggrieved expression.
Qin Jian smiled: "I mean, we are together."
Hearing "We are together", Duan Xuan felt at ease now, but he became nervous about something else.
At this time, Qin Jian handed the score in front of her and said seriously: "You will sit next to me in a while and turn over the score for me."
Sure enough, Duan Xuan's guess was correct, and the pressure in his heart became even greater.
She can understand the piano score, but she is afraid of making mistakes.
Seeing that the expression of the villain in front of him became more difficult, Qin Jian leaned over and whispered a few words.
Duan Xuan blinked in confusion after hearing this. To be honest, she didn't quite understand.
But she still reached out and took the score.
...
Everything happened in about ten seconds. When two figures, one big and one small, walked onto the podium together, the classroom burst into laughter.
For no other reason than the way the little loli walks with the sheet music in her arms is so cute.
Qin Jian smiled and introduced his 'partner' to everyone with an inviting gesture, and then he sat down in front of the piano.
Duan Xuan obediently took the music score and sat next to him.
Qin Jian began to adjust the height of the piano bench.
Duan Xuan also finished her work and placed the music on the music stand.
But the moment she opened it, she couldn't help but open her mouth.
It’s true that she can read piano scores, but she can’t keep an eye on such messy handwritten scores!!
She looked at the dazzling music score in front of her in amazement.
She didn't have time to think about how her brother-in-law held such a music score and looked at it seriously for so long.
Just when she thought everything was about to end, the reminder that Qin Jian had just put in her ear suddenly reappeared in her blank mind.
Now, she seemed to understand the meaning of those two sentences.
The next second.
She imagined that this was her performance on stage, and after taking a deep breath, she adjusted her expression.
Then straighten the music score.
Under everyone's attention, the big one and the small one exchanged looks.
Looking at Duan Xuan's innocent eyes, Qin Jian used a small wink to relax the atmosphere in front of the piano.
Then he turned his eyes to the first measure of the score in front of him and stopped smiling.
Breathe, raise your arms, lower your keys, all in one breath
The crisp sound of "Dang-" brought out a soothing single melody in the key of A minor.
The intensity is even and the sentences are clear.
Katya's work unfolded immediately under Qin Jian's guidance.
Xiao Duanxuan listened to the piano melody in her ears and stared at the score as hard as she could, but soon she got lost among the messy notes.
