.
After Qi Feng unilaterally agreed to play and dragged Ling Ke into the water together, the counselors in the department made an appointment with them alone to talk about the welcome party.
Although the party is in the name of welcoming new students, in terms of scale and meaning, it is almost equivalent to the school art festival.
So, they are not only representing themselves and the freshmen on stage, but also representing the entire School of Journalism and Communication, and the counselors hope that they will seize the opportunity and perform well.
These high-sounding words made the two of them feel a heavy responsibility, Ling Ke could only bite the bullet and take it seriously.
The Minister of Literature and Art is a man of action. He arranged a piano room for them to practice on the second day after looking for them.
On the day they got the keys to the piano room, Ling Ke and Qi Feng went for a walk first, planning to try the piano and get some feel.
F University does not have a music school and music-related research majors, but the huge campus does not have a single piano. There are four or five piano rooms on the ground floor of the school auditorium. It is said that it is for some school performances and some people who like to play the piano. Prepared by professors, not open to students.
Probably for the sake of privacy, the piano room is a closed small space, less than half the area of their dormitory.
There is an upright piano against the wall in the room, a small table for personal belongings, a small wall-mounted bookshelf above the table, a few piano scores, and a stool. nothing else.
It's just such a small room of less than six square meters, it's okay for a person to come in, but now two big boys are squeezed in, and the two feel a little cramped.
Moreover, the sound insulation of the piano room is very good. Once the door is closed, the two can only hear each other's breathing.
...that's embarrassing.
Privacy, soundproofing, being in the same room... Ling Ke couldn't help but began to make up some colorful things in his brain.
God knows how much effort he spent these days to return to the mentality of "love so and so" before seeing Qi Feng, but now, locked in such a small room face to face with Qi Feng, he was beaten back to his original shape in an instant!
He still couldn't resist Qi Feng's natural attraction to him...
"Uh, this room is quite small." Especially when Qi Feng's magnetic voice sounded next to his ears, the epidermal cells on Ling Ke's body collectively rebelled , trembling with excitement.
Resigned to his fate, he opened the piano bench and turned on the all-round masquerading system again.
A qin bench is seventy-five centimeters long. Although it is enough to seat two people, it is still a bit narrow for two well-developed eighteen-year-old youths.
Qi Feng might also be concerned about this, and said to Ling Ke: "You try first?" After speaking, he sat down on the small square stool next to him.
This made Ling Ke feel a little more relaxed.
Playing the piano is not only a technical job, but also a technical job that requires regular practice. If you don't play the piano for a few days, you will die, and if you don't play for a long time, no matter how good your skills are before, it will basically be handicapped.
If it weren't for Ling Ke's ten-year piano practice experience, he couldn't guarantee that he would be able to practice a piece of music that could be performed on stage within two weeks, let alone playing with others.
He casually talked about Chuan Hanon's fingering practice, and his ten fingers quickly alternated from the bass to the treble.
I haven't played for two months, and my fingers are a little stiff.
Ling Ke played back and forth for two rounds, and after he had tried almost all eighty-eight keys, he turned his head to Qi Feng and said, "Well, the rebound is not very good..." He pressed the E key in the lower group of large characters , and said, "Yamaha's piano sound is pretty good."
It may be that it has not been used for a long time and needs to be tuned, but it is enough for practice.
"Don't audition, play a song and listen to it." Qi Feng smiled at him.
Ling Ke's heart skipped a beat, he looked back at the keyboard, pondered for a while, and pressed the key.
Qi Feng listened to it for a while, and soon realized that it was Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata". This piece is very classic, and he also played it for a while when he was a child.
It can be seen that Ling Ke has a good foundation, but... a little lacks a sense of acting.
It may be related to his childhood learning. Qi Feng received the guidance of professional pianists when he was learning the piano, and paid more attention to the sense of rhythm and emotional investment on the basis of smooth playing.
While listening intently, the sound of the piano changed abruptly and turned into...another piece of music.
Qi Feng was slightly taken aback, a little strange, he played well, why did he suddenly change to "Sonata Impromptu"?
Ling Ke played expressionlessly, but his heart was in a state of unrest.
He knew that this kind of temptation was a bit stupid, but he couldn't help it...
He wanted to remind Qi Feng to recall the ensemble five years ago by repeating the repertoire from that year.
However, when he turned to look at Qi Feng after playing, he saw that the other party was intoxicated, and there was no other expression.
After Qi Feng came back to his senses, he expressed his opinion seriously: "This impromptu song of yours is much better than the last one, it's very tense." Ling Ke raised his eyebrows... gone
?
Qi Feng thought for a while, and then said: "Moonlight is also good. I feel that your foundation is quite solid. You can recite these songs. I guess you have to read the scores." Ling Ke lowered his eyes and didn't speak any more
. The result of the temptation was evidently disappointing, but he could not show it.
Originally, he thought, if Qi Feng remembered and talked about what happened five years ago, he said again: Oh, I just happened to go too.
Then Qi Feng will know that they have met each other a long time ago...
What an exciting development this is.
...It's all gone now.
This idiot Qi Feng really completely forgot about him.
Ling Ke sighed inwardly, and then the two switched places, Qi Feng playing instead.
Qi Feng picked out a ballad, Ling Ke hadn't heard it before, but in terms of the difficulty of playing it, it didn't have any exaggerated playing skills, it was so simple that Ling Ke could play it after listening to it a few times.
After Qi Feng finished playing, he turned his head excitedly to wait for Ling Ke's evaluation, but Ling Ke gave three words indifferently: "Not bad."
Although Qi Feng was very devoted, and indeed it sounded good, but it couldn't impress Ling Ke, who was a colleague, and he was hit hard just now, so he couldn't give Qi Feng an overly enthusiastic attitude at all.
After a strange silence, Qi Feng asked shyly, "Then what kind of music should we play then?"
Ling Ke frowned, and after thinking about it, he felt unwilling to give up, and reminded: "In addition to the piano, you can also play music." Any other musical instruments?"
In fact, he really wanted to ask Qi Feng directly—whether you can play the violin.
But he couldn't, if he asked, it would reveal the fact that he had met Qi Feng and remembered him for so many years.
Qi Feng said calmly: "No, I only learned the piano."
Ling Ke was a little stunned.
Although he knew that Qi Feng had a twin brother, Qi Feng said that his brother had been abroad, so he didn't doubt whether it was Qi Feng himself who he met five years ago.
Hearing Qi Feng say "no", Ling Ke only had a sudden sense of depression, disappointment, and annoyance of being cheated.
——He obviously knows how to play the violin, why did he lie to himself that he didn't?
Noticing Ling Ke's gloomy expression, Qi Feng was inexplicably flustered, and he asked uneasily, "Do you think... I don't play the piano very well?" Ling Ke immediately said, "No." Qi Feng:
"
... ..."
The air froze again, and for a moment neither of them knew what to say.
Originally when the two were together, Qi Feng was always warming up the scene, Ling Ke was a little cold, but under normal circumstances, it would not make people feel difficult to communicate.
But now, even Qi Feng couldn't find a way to ease the atmosphere.
He took a deep breath and made a decision - instead of continuing to chat awkwardly, it's better to dig out the contradictions that have been buried under the flat waves in recent days and openly talk about it.
"Ling Ke," Qi Feng looked at the other party and asked, "Are you hiding from me these days?"
Ling Ke, who was immersed in his thoughts, was almost made to jump by Qi Feng's straight ball.
He raised his head abruptly, instinctively wanting to deny it, but facing Qi Feng's solemn gaze, he couldn't tell a lie.
For a moment, Ling Ke felt that he was not noble enough.
He was angry that Qi Feng was deceiving him, but why wasn't he deceiving Qi Feng? Since the first meeting in the university dormitory, he has been hiding the truth about knowing and liking Qi Feng.
If a person lies about something, he must have his own reasons or difficulties for lying.
Ling Ke thought to himself, maybe Qi Feng never played the violin again because of some knot in his heart? Just like he wanted to hide his sexuality because he didn't want Qi Feng to hate him...
He tilted his head slightly to avoid Qi Feng's sight, but he didn't directly deny the question just now.
Seeing this, Qi Feng's heart tightened, and he immediately grasped the clue and continued to ask: "Because... you saw me and Xiao Zhi that night, did you misunderstand something?"
Ling Ke pursed his lips nervously.
Qi Feng breathed a sigh of relief, knowing in his heart that Ling Ke really misunderstood him as a scumbag.
Knowing the reason, the next words are much easier to say, Qi Feng explained again: "I really have no innocent relationship with Xiao Zhi... I knew from the beginning that she had a boyfriend. That day, I It’s just a very simple treat to invite her to a meal, the address and time are all chosen by her, and her boyfriend also knows about it.”
Ling Ke’s mind was in chaos, although Qi Feng’s explanation made him very useful, but now he What is perplexing and uneasy is—why is Qi Feng so obsessed with explaining his relationship with Xiao Zhi to himself?
Qi Feng didn't have the time to figure out what he was thinking, so he continued on his own: "Don't treat me as that kind of... a beautiful woman who I want to touch... a beast." Afraid that the power of simple words is not enough, he still resorted to It is very difficult to explain, but the attitude can be said to be very sincere.
"I am a person. Although I have always been quite popular with girls, I am not suitable for everyone... Believe it or not, anyway, I have never had a girlfriend until now..." Ling Ke: "
... "
After finishing the few words just now, Qi Feng himself seemed a little embarrassed.
He would never say this in front of others, especially those people like Shen Yuezhe and Zhao Si - who are so handsome, look so good at flirting with girls, and turn out to be an innocent little virgin - will definitely let his friends They laughed out loud.
However, to Ling Ke, Qi Feng just wanted to show his truest side, and didn't want him to misunderstand that his character was bad and alienate him.
Seeing Ling Ke rarely showed a blank expression, Qi Feng seemed to be encouraged, and made a big move in his mind: "I still have my first kiss."
