It was a small gathering, limited to a few friends who Liao Yuan knew, at a local Michelin-starred restaurant.Serving only 10 customers a day, it is an elegant white chalet house in a quiet area, with a spacious and stylish interior, where the staff smiles all the time, walks with French elegance and conversations without losing the spontaneity of Brussels.As the saying goes, Fu Xiaoci, who was babbling in the past, came to this forest hut, and couldn't help but pretend to be a lady in the face of this candlelight dinner and the quiet space around.There are often some seasonal dishes, or even fresh biological ingredients, which makes Liao Yuan very unaccustomed to eating, but the way the dishes are presented is amazing.Gao Feiliu and Wu Di were about the same age, sitting on the sidelines, cutting a plate of salmon while discussing a controller game with great interest.Lin Weiyin and Fu Xiaoci kept whispering, looking up at Liao Yuan from time to time, and then began to whisper again.In addition to them, Zuo Yongsi, Zheng Junyi, and Xu Ling'er, who are also from the Huaxia region, are a little restrained.These three people, one from Hong Kong, are well-known young pianists.One is from Taiwan, the son of the grand pianist Zheng Jiao, and the grandson of the famous martial arts novelist Zheng Jiarong, who is famous in Taiwan.One is the top traffic god of the music version of Tweet Gollum, who can call the wind and rain at the base station, with millions of fans.After the end of the second One Emperor and Four Emperors Competition, the relationship between several people in private was obviously familiar with a lot.This time, they all signed up for the Elizabeth Piano Competition, but unlike Liao Yuan, Lin Weiyin, and Gao Feiliu, the reports of the three of them did not attract anyone's attention.Even in China, it is only limited to a small range of circulation, after all, not every pianist is eligible to be notified by the official Twitter of the Elizabeth Piano Competition.However, among the pianists present, no matter who they were, did not score below 90 points in the first round of auditions.The dinner is just a bond, but also a small celebration.At the dinner table, Zheng Junyi was obviously more talkative, mastering the rhythm of the audience, and suddenly asked Liao Yuan at the end: "Mr.
Liao, do you have a girlfriend?"
”This abrupt question made everyone stunned.Liao Yuan raised his head, "No, what's wrong?"
”Zheng Junyi perked up, put down the knife and fork, and said with a smile: "Actually, I shouldn't mention this matter here, but if you think about it carefully, there's nothing to be ashamed of." ”As he spoke, he picked up his mobile phone, opened the album, and handed it to Liao Yuan: "This is her sister, her name is Zheng Xiyi, she is a painter, she has been paying attention to you since you debuted, and she is your number one fan......."
She recognized you, we can't help it, the family loves her tightly, reluctant to beat or scold, this matter is not under my control, but my parents dare not disobey it, this time I came to participate in the competition, I want to talk to you about this matter in person, you don't have to feel embarrassed, you just contact WeChat first, have time to have a meal together or something, go with the flow, if it is suitable, be together, if it is not suitable, be friends, right?"
After Zheng Junyi finished talking about this, as if he had completed a mission, he breathed a sigh of relief, wiped his head with a napkin, and said with a wry smile: "I'm sorry, let you see the joke." ”Liao Yuan took Zheng Junyi's mobile phone and looked at Zheng Xiyi's photo.Like the handsome Zheng Junyi, Zheng Xiyi's appearance is also very high, even in photos, you can feel the brightness and flexibility of those eyes.Liao Yuan smiled: "I'm not a good person, you are pushing your sister into the fire pit." ”Zheng Junyi sighed: "If you are a fire pit, but I don't know how many girls in the world are willing to jump into it." ”Although Zheng Junyi has not been in contact with Liao Yuan for a long time, he can also feel Liao Yuan's character and personal charm, although he is lukewarm to anyone, but it is such an indifferent temperament that can often attract many onlookers, regardless of gender.Gao Feiliu glanced at Zheng Xiyi's photo, and his eyes lit up: "It's so beautiful!"
Lao Zheng, does your sister accept minors?
”"Get out!"
Zheng Junyi scolded with a smile: "My sister is a taekwondo master, you little kid, she can beat three of them." ”Goofy shrunk his neck.Wu Di laughed heartlessly on the side.At this time, with the help of Zheng Junyi, Liao Yuan added Zheng Xiyi's WeChat, and before he could send a message, he felt a cold current rushing towards him.When he raised his head, he saw Lin Weiyin, who was holding a red wine glass to sober up, looking at him.In addition, Fu Xiaoci also hugged his hands and sneered.Liao Yuan paused, put away his phone, and continued to struggle at the dining table.Zheng Junyi can be regarded as meticulous, and he suddenly noticed the subtlety of the atmosphere.He was thoughtful in his heart, and did not continue to talk to Liao Yuan, but instead went to talk to Zuo Yongsi and others about the situation of the next event.After the auditions, it's the knockout round.Compared with the audition, the specifications of the knockout round are more stringent, and this time ninety percent of the candidates will be eliminated.In other words, there were originally thousands of players, but after going through the auditions and knockout rounds, there were only 120 pianists left.And after the knockout round, there will be the semi-finals, and finally the final.In the semi-finals, the competition system implements a ten-in-one system, which means that only one pianist out of ten pianists is allowed to advance.In the final round, only 12 people were allowed to participate.In the end, there are only six places that can get the prize of the competition.That is, the first and sixth place.This is the strongest selected from thousands of players.For Liao Yuan, this meal can be said to be eaten like a fish in the throat.Whether it is Lin Weiyin or Fu Xiaoci, although the two talk and laugh a lot, the cold glow thrown from the corner of their eyes from time to time still makes Liao Yuan feel like a pins and needles.Finally, when the dinner was over, Liao Yuan instructed Xiao Peng to settle the bill, and when everyone got up, he said to Lin Weiyin: "Miss Lin, wait a minute, I have something to tell you." ”Lin Weiyin nodded, cherishing words like gold: "Okay." ”Fu Xiaoci's eyes were a little annihilated, but he didn't say anything.When the others saw this, they all left with interest.In the end, only Lin Weiyin and Liao Yuan were left in the entire restaurant, including the waiters in the restaurant, who also disappeared without a trace.
