Chapter 173

The white clouds floating in the blue sky and Berlins cold weather gradually dissipated by the beginning of February and the humidity and warmth that only belongs to the spring are slowly returning to this land.

The Rhine River was sparkling beautifully under the sunlight and the Bai Ais headquarters which was located by the river had its reflection cast on the water, making the building seem warmer, somehow.

Like Wei Ai, Bai Ai also had various small and large scales performance all over Europe in the first half of the year, which was also an important period of work for them. In early January, they decided on the cities and related performances for this year and right now, theyre in hard rehearsal mode.

The s.p.a.cious and concise rehearsal hall was still maintaining the Bauhaus style of interior design, a cla.s.sic for Bai Ai. A magnificent melody reverberated for a long time throughout the rehearsal hall.

On the stage, the conductors right hand suddenly halted and the sound of the trombone also stopped, following the movement. The conductors left hand raised gently and the beautiful melody of the violin immediately followed.

When Qi Mu arrived at Bai Ais rehearsal hall, he could hear BeethovensDestiny Symphony being played with both emotion and momentum.

A man stood tall in the center of the stage like a poplar tree, like the emperor in a palace. His imposing demeanor guided this majestic orchestra called Bai Ai in this Destiny.

The music climbed higher, and the emotions burned hotter. When it finally reached its peak, it slowly fades, like a warrior who is struggling to strike at the end of fate, riding on the song of victory at the dawn of hope. This intense and gradually gentling melody expressed total joy.

A song like Destiny Symphony, Bai Ai had rehea.r.s.ed countless times and all the members cooperated harmoniously. Even the emotions climbed to the precipice under the leaders.h.i.+p of their conductor.

Faced with such a majestic Destiny, Qi Mu applauded.

The crisp applause filled the quiet concert hall, and it was only then did someone notice his arrival. Christole looked at the young man standing in the doorway of the hall in surprise and beside him was Min Chen, who was the last one to see Qi Mu.

Since his back was to the audience, Min Chen turned around, and finally found the young man who had suddenly visited.

His narrow eyes widened, and he quickly said, Christole, guide the next rehearsal. Then he stepped off the stage and walked over to the young man he hadnt seen in many days.

Qi Mu smiled and opened his mouth to say, That Destiny just now was excellent, but just as the words just now fell from his lips, the man wrapped a firm arm around his waist, and he was hauled out of the room like a kidnapping.

Qi Mu was dragged along the entire way and didnt understand what was happening until he was pulled into Min Chens conductor lounge. He wanted to ask, but he heard a loud bang as the door slammed shut, and he was pulled into a tight hug.

The mans powerful arms wrapped tight around Qi Mus waist, and he buried his face in Qi Mus shoulder, breathing out heavily. Qi Mu was too surprised to react at first, then he stretched out his arms and hugged him back. He smiled helplessly, You scared me, I thought something serious happened.

The mans voice rang dull in his ear, Something serious did happen. We havent met for 43 days.

Qi Mu was still reeling from that revelation when Min Chen loosed his hold on the violinists waist, and looked down at his beloved.

The next second, Qi Mu raised his head to kiss him, and Min Chen deepened it. The taste of each other felt strange, but at the soft feeling of their lovers touch, the familiarity and longing buried deep in their hearts could no longer resist overflowing.Pressing the younger man against the cold wooden door, Min Chen gently but hurriedly kissed his lips. The movement between their lips and tongues was rhythmic, ambiguous, and lingering. In the small s.p.a.ce, the temperature rose. When Qi Mu pulled back, his cheeks were flushed and he gasped hard for breath. Pressing their foreheads together, Min Chen whispered, You came to Berlin, why didnt you tell me? I wanted to do the same you used to do its a surprise for you. The man was speechless for a moment, then finally sighed and said, As long as I can see you, its the biggest surprise. Wei Ais tour rehearsal shouldve started. When will you go back to Vienna? Qi Mu breathed slowly, his arm still holding Min Chens waist. At the time, he slightly leaned back against the smooth panel of the door. Looking up at Min Chen with a smile, he said, The flight is at just past 6 in the evening, and the rehearsal will continue tomorrow. I came to Berlin today because of something. Stunned, Min Chen asked, Whats the matter? Im with Mr. Tuckerman. We came to Berlin to invite a musician. Then, Qi Mu gave a full account of his purpose for coming to Berlin.Dorenza and the others hoped that Wei Ai could make some breakthroughs in their tour around Europe, but it was better not to change the orchestras most essential music style. This problem had haunted them for a long time, but Qi Mu found a trace of abnormality from Wei Ais performance materials in recent years.

So at the time, Qi Mu suggested to Mr. Dorenza, Mr. Dorenza, why cant we invite a pianist with a rigorous style but more inclined towards cla.s.sical Romanticism to add color to our tour? I found that in the past three years, Wei Ai rarely cooperated with other pianists who werent from Austria, but I think we can invite a pianist to play with the orchestra and make this tour a tour of piano concertos.

When Mr. Dorenza heard the word piano, he opened his eyes wide in surprise. After listening to Qi Mu, he immediately nodded and said, Good! We havent invited pianists to cooperate with the orchestra for a long time. It seems that Zayev, that b.a.s.t.a.r.d, once had a bad time with some pianist? G.o.d, how many disgusting things did that b.a.s.t.a.r.d do that Im only finding out about them now? Okay, Little Seven, thank you for your advice. I think I already know how to do it. So all we need is Which pianist should we invite?

After listening to the youths narration, Min Chen calmly closed his eyes and asked in a low voice, You came to invite me?

Qi Mu: Qi Mu was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, How could we invite you? Youre not qualified to be on our invitation list.

Min Chen: Seeing the mans face practically screaming, I want to be on the candidate list, I want to be on the candidate list! Qi Mu couldnt help but laugh. He said, Okay, okay. Your style is very similar to what we want. If you can be our concerto pianist, it would be the best option. But, Min Chen, dont forget You are Bai Ais conductor and resident pianist. If you cooperate with us, who will lead Bai Ai on the first half of this years European tour?

Min Chen: After a while, he asked, Im more suitable than that guy?

Stunned for a long time, Qi Mu understood who that guy was. Punching the shameless mans chest with tears and laughter, he nodded and said, Yes, yes, you are more suitable than him, alright? After hearing this, the handsome, elegant man was satisfied. Then, he said, Since youre going to invite him this afternoon, I can go with you. Im familiar with Berlin, and I can drive you and Mr. Tuckerman. Min Chen and Mr. Dorenza were close friends, so he occasionally visited Wei Ai and was familiar with Wei Ais orchestra agent, Tuckerman. Hearing this, Qi Mu agreed. Well, Mr. Tuckerman should be waiting for me in the coffee shop near Bai Ai. I originally planned to leave after meeting you. Thats okay. Lets go together.After getting the chance to go along with the youth for half a day, Min Chen calmly curled his lips into an imperceptible smile. As he and Qi Mu walked downstairs, he said, You still have a lot of weight in Berlin. That master is also a famous pianist. If you are there, she may be more likely to agree to our tour. You know, its not easy to tour around Europe.

Hearing this, Min Chen suddenly remembered, Who are you going to invite?

Qi Mu subconsciously replied, Master Julie Adlitt.

Min Chen: The man stopped for a moment and didnt go any further. Qi Mu turned his head in surprise and asked, Whats the matter?In the warm, bright suns.h.i.+ne, a rare crack appeared on Min Chens cool, calm face. His voice solemnly said, Im sorry. Ill take you to the intersection and You go find Julie Adlitt yourself. Qi Mu: You know her. It was an affirmative sentence. Min Chen: I dont know! Qi Mu: .You know her!

A little guilty, Min Chen: .A little bit. I dont know.

Of course, the young man wasnt worried about what the man had to do with a 50-year-old pianist Cough, cough, that would be an abnormal relations.h.i.+p. But, he was very curious about what made the always-calm guy become so surprised suddenly and panic?

A few days earlier, a female member of Wei Ai and her husband lost their tempers on the phone. Qi Mu pretended to be sad and spoke with a bad heart, You cant tell me? So you still have things you cant tell me. Min Chen, you really let me down. I never thought it could happen Julie Adlitt is a big fan of mine. Qi Mu, who didnt expect this answer at all:

Looking uncomfortable, Min Chen glanced back and said, Shes a crazy, crazy fan.

Qi Mu:
