Trainee

Xia Le went all the way to the place where Li Fang lived with a sullen face. He accompanied Li Qi only once, but he remembered everything about Li Qi only once.After finding the floor and confirming the room number, he began to knock on the door, or rather angrily knocked on the door. His hand was strong, and the "bang bang" on the door did not mean to be polite to the other party.

The people inside came to open the door soon. Compared with Xia Le who was dressed in a mix and match, the other party was well-dressed even at home. He was still the elite style of the suit and shirt during the day. He didn't look sloppy at all. The only difference was that he went to Tie, a button or two undone, looks slightly casual.Li Fang was also a little surprised by this sudden visitor, he frowned and said, "How do you know that I live here? What are you doing here..."

Xia Le stretched out his hand to hold the doorknob, and tried harder to prevent him from closing the door: "I want to talk to you about something."

The man opposite had sensed something was wrong, and said, "I'll talk about it tomorrow, I'm tired today, and I don't want to..."

Xia Le pushed him into the room before he finished speaking, and squeezed in himself. He raised his eyes and glanced around. There was only a black piano in the empty living room, which was not at all smokey. It was the same as the one before him. Just like men, they really don't belong to the same world.

The man was already irritated by his sudden intrusion, but his good upbringing prevented him from swearing. He could only watch Xia Le purse his lips and sarcastically said: "You are always like this? Breaking into the piano room is fine. Now, even break into other people's homes at will now!"

Xia Le stood there angrier than him, his eyes were red, he suddenly called out: "Brother."

The man glanced at him and frowned slightly, his tone was still bad, he pointed to the door and said, "Please go out, I don't welcome outsiders here."

Xia Le stood there and questioned him: "What about Li Qi, isn't Li Qi an outsider? How could you be so cruel to treat him like this! Why do you have to detain him and force him to practice piano?!"

The man impatiently took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it, took a puff and said, "I thought you were going to say something, just for this?" He was a little disdainful, and said in a calm tone, "He is not in a good state, What if I asked him to stay and practice more?"

Xia Le's eyes were full of anger: "Are you really doing it for him?"

The man sneered: "No matter what I am doing, as a teacher, there is nothing wrong with asking him to practice more, and you are participating in a competition, right? Maybe he can get extra points if he plays well. Am I still hurting him?"

Xia Le looked at him, looked at the person in front of him as if nothing had happened, and suddenly burst into anger, "Brother, you are too much, you know that his hand was hurt because of you... You were not as good as him back then, Now that his hands are useless, what's the point of forcing him to play the piano! Can you compare him with this, and will you be satisfied!"

The expression on the face of the man on the opposite side froze for a while, and he said after a while: "I can't remember the past, I'm just very disappointed in him."

"Can't remember? Ha, you can't remember, so you can torture him like this. Shall I tell you what Li Qi has been through these years... He lives with his uncle, busy with making a living every day, even eating How can you have time to play the piano if you don't have enough to eat! He is different from you, he obviously worked so hard to live, no matter how hard he lived, he never gave up, he has been like this until you show up..." Xia Le looked coldly Looking at him, he said word by word, "If you want to say disappointed, Li Qi is only disappointed in you. You are not his brother at all."

The man was burned by the cigarette in his hand, and he became annoyed. He stared at Xia Le and said: "What are you, I use you to teach me! Get out of here!"

He stretched out his hand to push Xia Le, but Xia Le grabbed his wrist with one hand. Xia Le was taller than him and much stronger than him. With the other hand, he directly grabbed his collar, "It was you who pushed After losing him, he fell down, and only then did Li Qi become the embarrassed and desolate Li Qi he is today!"

The man looked at him, without any thought of reflection, stared back and said, "It's ridiculous, won't you heal your hand injury! You'll only blame others blindly, and you won't make any effort..."

Xia Le hit him in the face with one punch!

"You know shit!"

The man who fell on the ground spat out a mouthful of blood, stared straight at Xia Le, his face was also gloomy.

Xia Le pointed at him with a finger, forced to control his urge to beat someone, and said angrily: "If you hadn't pushed him back then, if his hands were fine, he wouldn't have become what he is today, he would have Sitting in a position that is taller and more dazzling than you, let you look up! You are not worthy of even a finger of him, you are back now, you are high above you, you forced him to play the piano... then what happened at the beginning?! At the beginning you What did you do! Why did you push him, why did you ruin his finger, and now you are ruining his life!"

The man looked at him without saying a word, but there was no remorse in his eyes, as if he was listening to something that had nothing to do with him.He waited for Xia Le to finish speaking, and wanted to try to argue, but as soon as he uttered a few words, Xia Le punched him in the face again, hurriedly raised his arm to stop him, and cursed: "Xia Le, you madman!" !"

"I am, what's the matter!" Xia Le stopped punching him several times in a row, grabbed him by the collar and lifted him up and cursed, "If you fucking touch Li Qi again, I'll fight you hard!"

All he could think about was the day when he went back with Li Qi on his back. Li Qi, who was so strong, was forced into the weakest appearance, and he was going to be useless.When he thought of it, his heart ached so badly, he wished he could fight to the death with this person in front of him, and he didn't care about anything else.

Li Fang's glasses were already crooked, hanging slanted on his ears, his face was also bruised and bloodstained, he backhanded a few times, but he was no match for Xia Le at all.Xia Le's practice during this period was not for nothing, he started steadily and ruthlessly, he no longer had the awe he had when he was a child in front of this person, only resentment remained.

Li Fang didn't forget to speak harshly even though he was beaten, and said resentfully: "Xia Le, don't think I'll let you go, you and Li Qi...you two don't want to continue the competition!"

Xia Le laughed angrily. He let go of the man and looked him up and down. The man fell to the ground and immediately made a defensive posture, staring at him fiercely.

"You think I care about this competition? I'm just..." Xia Le looked at him, suddenly lost the nature of explanation, and said disgustedly: "If I knew I would meet you, I would rather he hadn't come to participate in this stupid competition. "

The man said hoarsely, "You wait for me!"

Xia Le pointed his index finger at him, made a "dry" gesture, and said indifferently: "I'll wait for you to come and see if you got me, or I get you down! You don't deserve to be his brother, no, I should say, you are not his brother at all."

The masculine face turned pale, and he growled, "Get out!"

Xia Le sneered: "I don't want to come here either, I just want to tell you that Li Qi won't listen to you anymore, and won't go to the piano room to play that broken piano again! I beg you too, don't bother me anymore His life!"

After Xia Le finished speaking, he turned and left.

The man looked at the wide open door, and his heart, liver, spleen and lungs hurt from anger. He gasped and stared at the door. A slight breathing movement would pull the wound on his face, making him even more irritable.Suddenly his pupils shrank, and a person appeared at the door, and he was an acquaintance.

Daniel stood at his door wearing a hoodie, and whistled at him, with a smile on his face, "It's wonderful, it seems that you have done something for me somewhere I don't know."

The corner of the man's mouth was torn, and his cheeks were also red and swollen. When he saw Daniel coming in, he hurriedly struggled to get up from the floor, "Why did you come here..."

Daniel put down his hood and walked into the living room with his hands still in his pockets. He walked briskly across the chaotic living room that was smashed by Xia Le. There was no furniture, but there were still some music scores. footprint.Daniel passed over these fragments and walked to the piano. He didn't answer the other party, but tapped a few keys lightly with his hands, and said with a smile, "Come and see, if you don't come and see for yourself, how do you know you took my place? "

The man's eyes fell on the keys where his fingers were, and he pursed his lips and said, "I don't know what you mean."

Daniel shrugged his shoulders, looked around, and said, "You haven't been beaten enough, don't you, do you want me to say it straight? I don't need to repeat what Xia Le said just now, Li Chengze?"

Li Chengze was injured on his face, and stood in a state of embarrassment opposite Daniel. After walking two steps, he bumped into shards of glass under his feet, so he stood there stiffly and said, "I just listened to the teacher and came here to do something for her. You suddenly Leaving without saying goodbye, and returning home to do such a shameful thing for the teacher, she asked me to watch you..."

Daniel looked up at him, raised his eyebrows and said: "Oh, my mother asked you to come, you really haven't changed, I said how long will you be satisfied with the dog by her side?"

Li Chengze said angrily, "You...!"

Daniel interrupted him and said, "What am I, to be honest, are you jealous of me? Jealous that I am better than you. When I am around, you will never get the gaze of your teacher, right?"

"You are talking nonsense! I am here this time to take the position of the chief of the orchestra. I won it myself and have nothing to do with you. I can have the current position because I don't give up and work hard!" Li Chengze's chest was violent. Ups and downs, he fixed his broken glasses, looked at Daniel and suddenly smiled mockingly, "You should wake up, a lot of things have changed in the six months since you left, you thought that all people and all positions would always be waiting for you !"

Daniel whistled, and was not offended at all. Instead, he smiled at him, tilted his head and said, "Do you know why my mother has always looked down on you?"

The corners of Li Chengze's mouth twitched a few times, but he didn't speak.

Daniel said: "Because, as long as I'm here, you'll never win."

Li Chengze said angrily, "Li Fang!"

Daniel restrained his smile, his eyes became cold, and the corners of his raised lips were mocking, "Why, now you know it's my name? Before, you had a lot of fun wearing my name, Why don't I come to play with you too, you wanted to play piano with me before, didn't you, choosing a day is worse than hitting the day, let's have a match!"

Li Chengze's Adam's apple rolled, his eyes fell on the piano in the middle of the living room, his eyes were hot, full of anger and fighting intent.

Daniel sat down in front of the piano. He rolled up his sleeves and put his hands flat on the keys, and his eyes fell on it. He said indifferently: "The difficulty of a piece of work is not only evaluated purely by finger skills, but some people are not worthy of it." Hear the feelings."

Li Chengze's expression changed, before he could understand the meaning, Daniel's performance started.Daniel was very focused when he played, and it didn’t change because he left the environment that belonged to the piano. His whole person seemed to be one with the piano. Normal blood, confident and elegant, perfect control.

First, a section of brisk and soothing notes flowed out, but Li Chengze's gaze changed after only one bar. He has been playing the piano for so many years, so he can naturally tell that it is Liszt's "Memories of Don Juan".

This section is a piano piece adapted from Mozart's opera "Don Juan", and it is also a classic among many adaptations. The original opera was about two and a half hours long, but after being adapted by Liszt, it became a short piano piece, but the last Miraculously, the piano piece didn't delete a single note from the original opera.Condensing the original piece of more than two hours into half an hour, one can imagine how demanding this piece is on fingering skills!

The whole piece has dense notes and a lot of jumps, and the performance skills are also extremely difficult. Many pianist masters will make some mistakes in live performances, and few people play them.

In a sense, this is a virtuoso.

The longer Daniel played, the uglier the expression on Li Chengze's face became. The notes in the back part were crowded and dense. After a few big jumps of fingers, a series of difficult skills of octaves and ten degrees followed. Shocked, he looked up at Daniel, and just about to sneer, his face turned pale when he was shocked by the next series of superimposed and staggered piano sounds!

Not disorder!

Superposition, perfect superposition, as if playing with four hands, but there is only one person sitting!

Cold sweat dripped down Li Chengze's forehead, his body was trembling, and there was no seriousness but complete fear in his expression looking at Daniel.Yes, he knew how powerful the person in front of him was. He had practiced hard for several months, and this person could perfectly reproduce it in a week, but he never thought that this person could achieve such a terrifying limit!

Li Chengze looked at the person in front of him, as if there was another person sitting beside him in a trance, stretching out his hands to play the perfectly blended tune.

Is that human being……

Li Chengze looked at him, thinking in a trance that he no longer had the desire to play the violin. He was beaten up by Xia Le just now, but he was not angry, but now after listening to Daniel's violin, his fingers couldn't help shaking .

There is such a kind of person, after he finishes playing, you have no desire to catch up with him, because you know clearly in your heart that you will never be able to catch up with him in your whole life.Li Chengze looked at Daniel whose performance was coming to an end, and such an emotion rose in his heart, and inexplicable embarrassment swept over him, making him feel ashamed.
