cosine of desire

Not many people in the college are optimistic about Lin Yujing, thinking that he studies hard and actively innovates but lacks the loyalty and dedication of teachers; he also rarely shows it in front of everyone, and firmly believes in the bright future of talent with a firm attitude.

Half a year later, his composition ability attracted many famous teachers from the conservatory, and his simplicity and humility earned him the respect of the music circle, among which he was appreciated by music professor Luo Zhimin.In the spring of [-], after receiving invitations several times, Lin Yujing refused repeatedly, and participated in the gathering of musicians in Beijing under the leadership of Luo Zhimin.The party was held in Jinsong. The gathering of talents and masters that night not only made Lin Yujing aware of the vastness of the music world, but also gave him the honor to meet several pianists who have repeatedly made great achievements in the field of music: a pair of Chen's Brothers, the piano ensemble of the two is praised as "a match made in heaven"; a blind man wearing a cloak received strict training since childhood, and finally overcame physical obstacles to become a generation of famous teachers; He is an investor in this party and a folk pianist; besides this, there is an old man, a middle-aged man in plain clothes and a girl with short hair. "This is my graduate student," Luo Zhimin introduced, "he is pretty good, he can write piano music by himself, and he came from Hunan." Most of the pianists smiled at this young man, only the one in plain clothes The middle-aged man lightly took off his glasses to examine Lin Yujing carefully, his sharp eyes turned cold and horrifying after being refracted by the lens. "From Hunan?" he asked with a frown, as if doing a quick memory search. "Yes." Lin Yujing replied, but he didn't know the meaning of the question.The middle-aged man hesitated to speak.He scratched his head and turned around, pushed aside the loud talking crowd and left the venue.Lin Yujing vaguely felt that something was wrong, but the gathering of talents and the extravagance of the party attracted attention.He improvised to join a group of boys and girls dressed in suits and dance skirts, forgetting the unhappiness just now, and dancing to the beautiful and dynamic music.

After the spring break, Lin Yujing was recommended by Zhang Lingyan to work as a piano teacher in Luo Lihua Qinfang.Qinfang is located in a commercial building on the west side of Xinxing Nanli. Lin Yujing teaches young men and women on the fifth floor of the building for three days on weekends. Take a profit and add extra lunch break theory sessions to your overwhelmed schedule.Although Lin Yujing was extremely reluctant to arrange the piano workshop, he could not refuse, because he knew that the salary of the morning and afternoon shifts alone was far from enough to meet the living expenses, even though he was assisted financially by Zhang Lingyan.On weekdays, he is not idle, but practices and composes in the piano shop where Zhang Lingyan works.Almost at the same time, Henan owner Yu Xinlin's coffee shop opened. Under the recommendation of her friend Zhang Lingyan, she hired Lin Yujing to play the piano, and the latter readily agreed.The boss of Luo Lihua Qinfang greatly appreciated Lin Yujing's teaching quality and talent, and deeply admired his optimistic attitude despite barely having enough food and clothing.

Lin Yujing has taught piano amateurs, including piano accompanist for school bands, improviser of popular songs, and author of books based on materials.His classes are humorous and full of fantasy. Students quickly accept the Mandarin with a southern Hunan accent and listen to his detailed explanations so intently that they often hear the next student knocking on the door when they are intoxicated by the music; during lunch, Lin Yujing eats in a hurry Then he stood on the podium in the multi-function hall and taught music theory to several young students.Soon after his tenure, he discovered the hardships and benefits of being a teacher.Not only can he maintain his youthful vigor, but he can also enjoy the achievement and satisfaction of entertaining others; on the contrary, the fatigue and hunger brought about by energy-consuming sports is like a vulture hovering in the sky, making him have to Support the wall to explore the way, in order to prevent the disorderly flying Venus from being mistaken for the distant stars. Although the latter are scattered, they are fixed in the blue sky and sparkle, as if they are in the sky above the dream-seeking building where the night is falling.

Yu Xinlin's coffee shop is a place of relaxation in the true sense.For Lin Yujing, although the job in this leisure place is unstable, it can solve the long-term economic dilemma, and at the same time enjoy the quiet and comfortable atmosphere, and look at the struggling world of young people in Beijing from the perspective of an outsider.Every Monday and Wednesday night, he naturally leaned on the swivel chair and played the assigned repertoire at the request of white-collar workers, lovers and students.It was a house with a spacious interior and a comfortable environment. There was a pot of green plants in the corner of each room, and passers-by could smell the mellow aroma of cocoa and coffee beans from the corner of the street.The owner Yu Xinlin often invites Lin Yujing to drink coffee and chat. This man, who has never been in contact with Western beverages, almost shed tears when he tasted it for the first time. In the gathering shop, they played board games recklessly with the purpose of relieving stress. The noise forced Lin Yujing to knock on the table to remind him of the rules of discipline; I try my best to work for my tutor to earn meager living expenses. For the quiet environment, I often spend time revising papers in coffee shops until midnight.

In addition, there is a college student among all kinds of customers. She studies music and appreciates music; The true meaning of the song was finally answered in Lin Yujing's playing.Her name is Zheng Qie, and her family moved from Shenyang to Beijing when she was young.She has lived through the millennium, the dust storms, the ravages of disease, and the Olympic Games, and despite her colorful life, she is extremely fond of music, and her repertoire appreciation and music history are as good as experts.After her parents discovered her hobby, they eagerly hoped that she could master a musical instrument, so as to stand out among all the students in the capital.However, after a few weeks, she got tired of the seemingly endless piano practice. After a fierce argument with her parents, she left the piano to her infant brother Zheng Lan. Desire scene. "Practice more," Lin Yujing urged when the two met for the first time, "Only in this way can you become addicted." After hearing this, Zheng Lan was puzzled, because he had already heard about the reason why his sister gave up the piano.That night, he told Zheng Qie all about the course of the class, and frequently praised the teacher for his unsparing words of praise.The latter was curious but contemptuous.

"Addicted?" She sneered, "Lin Yujing is too good at talking."

Unable to resist the temptation of concealed curiosity, Zheng Lan secretly followed her in flat shoes on the way to her second class.After carefully looking at the floor signs, she sat on the ground floor of the commercial building, hung up her Walkman and spent the whole morning, secretly regretting this stupid pursuit while keeping an eye on the crowded elevator entrance, so as not to miss the black leather bag with flowing hair The purple figure of the latter finally appeared near noon, with a young man standing beside him.The young man was pale and thin, and his eyes were as sharp as a sharp edge under his resolute face.After Zheng Lan said goodbye to him, he quickly walked away through the revolving door, while Zheng Qi ran all the way to the elevator entrance.When the young man turned around and stepped into the elevator, seeing her rushing, he reached out to block the elevator door for her.She blushed, thanked him panting and wondered about his identity.After discovering that the button on the fifth floor had flashed an orange light circle, she trembled in her heart. The small silence between the two in the elevator added a strange atmosphere to the enclosed space.She stared at the crack of the door, thousands of words flooded her brain like a flicker, but the words she said unintentionally were particularly impolite:

"Are you Lin Yujing?"

"Yes," the young man was slightly surprised, "May I ask who you are?"

Zheng Che completely abandoned her previous doubts about the piano teacher's words, and confessed her identity to him with novel knowledge, not only out of respect: she didn't expect that the famous teacher in Zheng Lan's eyes was actually a slightly childish boy in front of her, and at the same time, she also appeared Yu was curious, because she had never seen the teacher personally send the students downstairs and back the same way during her piano lessons.After getting out of the elevator, Zheng Qie walked side by side with him, and the bright rooms in the narrow corridor flashed by like a lantern. "Your brother Zheng Lan is very talented in music—we can chat in the lounge," he led her around the corner, the signboard of the piano workshop was prominently hung on the top of the door, "I happen to have no class this afternoon The employee lounge is spacious and deserted, with little sunlight shining through the glass and covering the piano keys, and round tables and chairs are randomly scattered around.Lin Yujing dragged one of the swivel chairs to the piano and signaled Zheng Qie to take a seat. The latter inadvertently smoothed his loose brown hair. The dark soundproof wall behind him and the sunlight set off his handsome face.Under the common topic of music, they talked eagerly, as if a pair of acquaintances met by chance after a long separation.

Since Bei Piao, Lin Yujing has never felt the quickness of venting, but that afternoon he vented his life savings in the form of fast forward, from the closure of music contact in his childhood to the enlightenment of dreams by accident, it seems to be the end of the world. Sitting across from each other and listening attentively is not the first acquaintance, but an old friend who is in the same heart.During most of the conversation, Zheng Qie recalled the scenes narrated by Lin Yujing in his mind, and the scenes seemed to make him feel like they were actually there.In the evening, before they bid farewell, the two asked each other for phone numbers so that they could contact each other in the future, but they did not expect this move to completely turn their lives upside down.On Wednesday, Lin Yujing took the initiative to invite Zheng Qie to the coffee shop for a chat. The latter dressed formally and arrived with excitement and goodwill. After walking slowly to the second floor, he saw two steaming cups of coffee placed side by side on the long table.Seeing that he is warm and honest to himself, and behaves generously but not frivolously, Zheng Qie removes the disguise of conservatism and indifference, and pours out the past that he does not want to recall under the lingering fragrance of asparagus bamboo and sansevieria.She began to choke up, weeping for the waste of talent, the failure of first love, the distant future and the change of time, and shed tears for the sudden and dear confidant
