After rebirth, I became Qingmei's white moonlight

Chapter 392: Spreading Dog Food at the Concert

"Xiaoshu, Dong'er has acute appendicitis and has been rushed to the hospital."

Jiang Shu was enjoying the concert when he suddenly felt his phone vibrate. He took it out and saw the message.

"Sent to the hospital? But isn't your performance a duet?"

"Teacher Ye said that it will be temporarily changed to a solo performance."

“Will there be any impact?”

"Although Dong'er has always been my accompaniment before, it shouldn't be a big problem."

Jiang Shu pondered for a moment and looked up at the stage in front of him. Some students were performing "A Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix" with suona. The performance was very good and there was applause, but his attention was not on it at all.

"How about I accompany you on the violin?"

"Really!?"

"Aren't you worried about whether I can do it?"

"If it's Xiaoshu, then there will be no problem! However, I need to ask the teacher first whether it will work or not. Xiaoshu, come to the waiting room and I'll pick you up at the door."

"it is good."

Jiang Shu pressed send and stood up. Zhang Jingchu looked at him and said, "Brother Shu, where are you going? Aren't you going to continue watching? Xiaolu's performance will start in about half an hour."

"The little deer is looking for me. I'm going out for a while."

"Oh."

Jiang Shu bent over and left his seat. After walking out of the concert hall, he saw Xiaolu waiting for him at the side door with her skirt held up in both hands, her beautiful ankles faintly visible.

She was wearing a pearl white satin fishtail dress with a cloud-like one-shoulder neckline that stretched an elegant curve along her delicate collarbone, revealing her snow-white, round shoulders and chest. The back was an inverted V-back design that extended from the butterfly bones to the waist. It looked breathtakingly beautiful, winding along the grooves of the spine to the neck.

"My Lubao looks so beautiful today." Jiang Shu smiled and praised generously.

Bai Lu blushed slightly: "Let's not talk about this for now, come in quickly."

She pulled Xiaoshu into the waiting room, and many eyes subconsciously looked at them.

Ye Xiaoling looked up at Jiang Shu with a strange look in her eyes. If she remembered correctly, this boy was Xiaolu's cousin, right? After not seeing him for two years, he had grown so tall.

No, how did he get into the school again?

"Xiaolu, could it be that the new partner you mentioned is him?"

"Teacher Ye, I..."

When introducing the small tree, Bai Lu suddenly got stuck and was stunned for almost two seconds before he found the corresponding name from his deep memory.

"…My cousin is a true musical genius! He's very good at both the piano and the violin, and I have no problem playing with him."

"No." Ye Xiaoling shook her head and refused very straightforwardly.

She knew that Jiang Shu was an excellent student from a prestigious university, but being a musician was not just about studying. No matter how talented one was, one still needed hard training and the correct guidance of a famous teacher.

In her opinion, Jiang Shu must have learned piano or violin. He seems very good in the eyes of ordinary people, but in the eyes of professional musicians, he is just an ordinary amateur. Once he goes on stage, he will make many mistakes.

Therefore, there was no way Ye Xiaoling would agree to this request. Any mistake on stage would only ruin Xiaolu and have a serious impact on her reputation as a musical talent.

Jiang Shu could guess her concerns and smiled slightly.

"Teacher Ye, I know you probably won't believe me no matter what I say. There are still 8 minutes until 36 o'clock. How about letting me give it a try? If you think it's not working, it won't be too late to let Xiaolu play solo."

"Yes, Teacher Ye, just let my cousin try it." Bai Lu said pitifully.

“Xiao Lu, do you know what you are talking about? This is not a normal practice, but a real performance. There are many well-known musicians in the industry sitting in the audience. If you make a mistake, your life may be ruined.” Ye Xiaoling looked serious.

"I know, but Mr. Ye, Xiaoshu is really good. Letting him try won't affect my solo performance later."

Seeing Xiaolu's determined look, Ye Xiaoling sighed helplessly. Her mood was affected now. If she didn't make Xiaolu give up, she probably wouldn't be able to concentrate on playing the piano even if she went on stage later.

"Okay, then let your cousin try, but I will only give him one chance."

After saying that, Ye Xiaoling took the two of them into the piano room next door.

"The piece that Xiaolu will play in a while is Chopin's Ballade No. 1 in G minor. Show me your best performance. Don't say that I didn't give you a chance." Ye Xiaoling put the music score in front of Jiang Shu.

Jiang Shu nodded, sat on the piano stool, closed his eyes, and all of Xiaolu's experience and skills in playing the piano suddenly emerged in his mind.

He took a deep breath, closed his eyes and stopped looking at the music score. Instead, he entered a state of absolute concentration, focusing on the song itself and incorporating his own emotions into the playing.

Jiang Shu placed both hands on the piano keys and slowly pressed the first note. For a professional musician, she could hear the subtle differences in just one note.

As the piano music continued, Ye Xiaoling looked at him in surprise. Such skillful playing technique was not like that of an ordinary amateur player. Even many students in the affiliated high school could not reach his level.

If I close my eyes, the image that appears in my mind is a deer playing the piano.

Yes, that's right.

This kid's musical style, key playing habits, handling of vibrato details, use of pedals, and overall grasp of rhythm are all exactly the same as Xiaolu's habits.

It is no exaggeration to say that this piece of music is almost played by the deer itself!
Ye Xiaoling was completely shocked. Is there really such a genius in the world? Without any professional training, his musical attainments have surpassed 99% of the students in the attached middle school.

Unconsciously, in the last bar 264 of the piece, Jiang Shu continued to play the bass with his left hand and the third double-tone melody with his right hand, bringing the whole piece to a climax.

When the song ended, the lingering sound of the last note echoed in the practice room. Bai Lu clapped excitedly, with a blush on her face still from being too excited.

She knew that the little tree would be fine!

"Teacher Ye, I didn't lie to you. Xiao Shu and I will perform on the same stage. We will definitely not let you down."

"This……"

At this time, Ye Xiaoling couldn't help but hesitate. In principle, this was not allowed, but Jiang Shu's performance was so good.

She could even conclude that even Wang Dong'er, who had practiced with Xiaolu for a long time, could not achieve such tacit understanding.

The two of them seemed to have the legendary telepathic connection, familiar with each other's habits, and their cooperation was naturally seamless.

"Okay, Jiang Shu, you will replace Wang Dong'er in a while, and you two will play together. There are still about 20 minutes before you go on stage, so you can take advantage of the time to go through the song twice.

"Wow!!! Teacher Ye, thank you!!"

Bai Lu excitedly gave Ye Xiaoling a hug. She finally had the chance to perform on the same stage with Xiao Shu!

Jiang Shu pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Teacher Ye, I am actually better at the violin. I want to use the violin to play with Xiaolu."

Ye Xiaoling: “?”

No, you are so good at playing the piano, and now you tell me you are better at the violin?
"Teacher Ye, Xiaoshu is indeed better at the violin, but he hasn't practiced the piano much."

After Bai Lu finished speaking, he seemed to think that what he said sounded very outrageous.

But he is Xiaoshu, and anything outrageous that happens to him is normal and reasonable.

"But the Ballade No. 1 in G minor is a piano piece, and I can't find the violin score for the time being," said Ye Xiaoling.

"No, I have the music score in my head, now I just lack a suitable violin."

Jiang Shu smiled. When he watched "Four Lies" with Xiaolu during the winter vacation last year, he found this song and practiced it specifically. It can be said that he is quite familiar with it.

"Violin, right? Easy, I'll find one for you right away."

In less than a minute, Ye Xiaoling found him a violin of very good quality, the brand of which was the familiar Hossler.

Jiang Shu simply tried the tone and found that the original owner had tuned it very well and the sound was very pure.

"Good piano."

"Pull me to listen first."

Jiang Shu nodded. Time was running out and there was no time for him to talk nonsense. He got into the mood in an instant and played the music score that only existed in his mind in front of Ye Xiaoling.

As we all know, the piano has 88 keys and a wide range of sounds, while the violin has only four strings and can only produce the corresponding melody that matches the original song through specific fingering and bowing techniques.

Ye Xiaoling watched Jiang Shu perform continuous bowing, staccato bowing, divided bowing, and staccato bowing with ease. He was also extremely skilled in the more advanced continuous staccato bowing, wavy bowing, bow stick striking the strings, as well as vibrato, glissando, harmonics, and double notes, and was in no way inferior to the excellent students majoring in violin at the school.

The First Ballade in G minor that he played on the violin has a beauty that is completely different from that of the piano. It is filled with a unique rhythm with a romantic touch, which is the unique charm of string instruments.

The practice room was filled with melodious tunes like the warm breeze blowing through the screen window on a midsummer night. Looking at Jiang Shu's devoted expression, Ye Xiaoling couldn't help but sigh at this boy's high musical talent. The level he played on the violin was even higher than that on the piano.

Bai Lu's beautiful eyes dazzled as she listened. She gently lifted the hem of her skirt and sat on the piano stool, tapping her white jade fingers to follow the rhythm of Xiao Shu's music.

——When the bow brushed across the D string, Bai Lu's fingertips just pressed the corresponding B flat key, and then Jiang Shu suddenly narrowed the amplitude of the seventh position vibrato by three points, and the harmonic layer of the piano was immediately superimposed with a hazy soft pedal.

At this moment, the music played by the two seemed to be interacting with each other. The vibrations of the bow and keys weaved beautiful notes in the air.

Ye Xiaoling could not help but stare at the side in amazement. She seemed to feel the sweet love of a young couple from the music of the ensemble. These two people were not simply playing the music, but also integrated their own feelings into the music of love.

Until the resonance of the last note dissipated, the two people's suspended gestures were frozen into a mirror image, and the floor of the practice room still retained the ripples of sound waves.

"Clap clap-"

Ye Xiaoling clapped her hands with satisfaction: "Very good, the coordination between the violin and the piano is quite good." Hearing the teacher say this, Bai Lu's little face was delighted and said: "In this case, teacher, do you agree that Xiaoshu can perform on stage with the violin?"

"Before answering this question, Xiaolu, please tell me clearly what the relationship between you two is?" Ye Xiaoling's tone suddenly became serious.

Bai Lu's breathing stagnated.

"Teacher Ye, I'm really sorry. I have been hiding it from you before. I am Xiaolu's boyfriend." Jiang Shu admitted it straightforwardly.

The corner of Ye Xiaoling's mouth twitched slightly: "I guessed it was like this, how could there be cousins ​​like you two."

Jiang Shu said with an embarrassed look on his face: "Please forgive me, Teacher Ye. After all, we were still young two years ago. If I had let you know that Xiaolu was in love at that time, you would definitely have been very strict with her."

"You mean, since you're about to graduate, you think it's okay even if you admit it?"

"It's not because of graduation, but because Xiaolu and I both received college admission letters in advance. There is no pressure to continue our studies, and my parents also agree that we can be together."

When Jiang Shu opened his eyes and told lies, Bai Lu subconsciously opened his eyes wide.

How would mom and dad know!
Ye Xiaoling had to admit that she really couldn't refute this.

"So which university did you get into?"

"Tsinghua University."

"Great!"

Ye Xiaoling praised sincerely, saying that being able to get an admission letter from Tsinghua University in advance is a rare occurrence even across the country.

The key point is that he can play the piano and violin so well without affecting his studies, which is incredible.

However, she was very pleased that Xiaolu, as her favorite disciple, found such an outstanding boyfriend. From a certain perspective, she looked at Jiang Shu just like her son-in-law.

Since he is her son-in-law, the couple wants to perform together on stage, and as their teacher, she has to help them no matter what.

"I'll try to change your program to the last one. During this time, you can see if you want to practice some more. But it has been confirmed that it will be a violin and piano ensemble?"

"Yes, thank you, Mr. Ye."

Ye Xiaoling pouted: "If you dare to mess up on stage, you won't be able to leave the gate of the attached high school tonight!"

"No, no, I will do my best for the deer."

"That's more like it. How tall and how much do you weigh? I'll go find you a suitable tuxedo. You can't go on stage in the clothes you have now."

Jiang Shu was delighted: "1 meters tall, 9 kilograms in weight."

"Ah."

Ye Xiaoling nodded and walked out of the practice room. A few minutes later, she came in carrying a bag.

"This is the largest size I can find. Try it and see if you can wear it."

Jiang Shu took the clothes and walked into the locker room. Two minutes later, he came out wearing leather shoes, a white shirt, and a tuxedo. The trouser legs seemed a little short, revealing his ankles, but the clothes still fit him well.

Looking at himself in the mirror, Jiang Shu never imagined that one day he would be wearing a tuxedo and performing on stage with Xiaolu.

"Not bad, quite handsome. At least he looks like a musician." Ye Xiaoling commented with satisfaction.

At this time, there are still 8 minutes until 3 o'clock in the evening.

"I've just had someone change the order of performances. Your ensemble will probably be the last to appear at 8:12, so perform well and don't mess it up. Do you hear me?"

Jiang Shu nodded hurriedly.

"Okay, you two should study "Xiao Xuyi" carefully. When the time comes, someone will come to notify you to go backstage and prepare."

After saying that, Ye Xiaoling left the practice room.

"Xiaolu, who on earth is Teacher Ye? How could he change the performance list so easily?"

"The school director is also the person in charge of today's concert."

Jiang Shu understood instantly.

The main performance outside at this time was "Dunhuang·Flying Apsaras", performed by 21 students majoring in guzheng. The guzheng music was magnificent, creating a sound field spectacle as if fairies from the murals were breaking through the walls.

Zhang Jingchu and the other two were still feeling strange. Wasn't it agreed that Xiaolu's piano ensemble would be the finale? How did it turn out like this? Moreover, Jiang Shu had not returned since he left a moment ago.

When the performance of Dunhuang Flying Apsaras was halfway through, a staff member called Bai Lu and Jiang Shu to the backstage to prepare.

"Xiao Shu, are you nervous now?"

"It's ok, are you nervous?"

"Yeah, a little bit. My heart is beating so fast."

Bai Lu's cheeks blushed slightly. After all, this was her first time performing with Xiao Shu, and it was at a concert held at the school. Just as Teacher Ye said, many well-known musicians in the industry came today, and any slight mistake in the performance might be discovered.

Jiang Shu smiled slightly and held Bai Lu's soft and boneless little hand in his palm.

"Don't worry about me. Just play as usual. I'll accompany you."

"Ah."

Bai Lu nodded, feeling inexplicably at ease as his little hand was held.

Just then, the performance of "Dunhuang·Flying Apsaras" ended and warm applause came from outside.

Then the stage lights went out, and a staff member took the opportunity to lift the Steinway piano to the center of the stage.

"…When the deep sea of ​​black and white keys lifts up the moonlight-like piano sound, the narrator on the silver strings has begun to whisper. In the G minor poetry, they use polyphony to weave the silk of fate - this is the rain in Warsaw in the 19th century, falling in the resonant piano box in the 21st century!"

"Please welcome to the final ensemble!"

"Ballade No. 1 in G minor!"

The host spoke in a high-pitched voice, and upon hearing this, Zhang Jingchu and the other two were also shocked.

"Look, look, look, the little deer is about to appear!"

Jiang Shu and Bai Lu looked at each other, smiled at each other, and then went on stage together.

Gentle lights fell on the stage. Jiang Shu lightly lifted the bow with his right finger. The back of his tuxedo rippled inky black with his steps, and he stood in front of the stage.

Bai Lu lifted her skirt and nodded, the light was like a veil covering her satin waistline, she walked to the piano stool with lotus steps and sat down, her beautiful body straightened.

Looking at the boy on the stage, Zhang Jingchu was stunned for a moment, her stammering tone full of disbelief.

"Yuyao, am I seeing things? That's Jiang Shu? It's Jiang Shu?! How could he be Xiaolu's accompaniment? He's using a violin!!"

"I can't understand it either. How could this happen? Where is Wang Dong'er? Where is the piano duet we were promised?" Zhao Yuyao was also shocked.

"Brother Shu left in a hurry just now. Could he be preparing to go on stage at this moment? But the problem is that he can play the violin? Teacher Ye can't make such a random arrangement!" Wu Sixuan couldn't believe her eyes.

In fact, many people in the audience recognized Jiang Shu. Earlier, he and Bai Lu had eaten in the cafeteria, which caused a big enough sensation.

And now, he actually appeared on the stage of a concert. This was so outrageous that it felt like a dream. Not only had the school goddess been snatched away by someone, but now an outsider was allowed to perform on the stage?
However, the show doesn't give them much time to associate.

Jiang Shu closed his eyes slightly and took a deep breath. When he opened his eyes again, he had entered a state of absolute concentration.

He placed the violin on his shoulder and slowly pulled the bowstring, and the melodious sound of the violin suddenly rang out in the conference hall.

At the same time, Bai Lu's jade fingers plucked the strings, her fingertips following the tail of the violin's overtones, stepping out a rhythm that matched her heartbeat on the black and white keys. The soft melody rippled like water, and finally melted into the accent of the violin.

In absolute concentration, Jiang Shu indulged in the spiritual harmony with Xiaolu at the moment. The two people's melodies blended and overlapped with each other, and made up for each other's lack of transitions.

He had a faint smile on his face, immersed in the gorgeous music, and inadvertently turned back to look at Xiaolu, just in time to meet her gaze filled with admiration.

The venue was inexplicably filled with a sweet atmosphere. Chopin's original Ballade No. 1 in G minor combined the characteristics of narrative and sonata, and was filled with a unique romantic atmosphere.

At this moment, the audience sounded as if they were watching the love process of two childhood sweethearts, and they could feel a sweetness coming from the depths of their souls.

As the saying goes, music is the most touching thing and perfectly brings in one's own emotions. It is also an indispensable factor for an excellent musician. Only the music played in this way will have soul.

Zhang Jingchu and others were already stunned. Of all the words they wanted to complain about, only the two words "Fuck" could come out.

It turns out that Brother Shu plays the violin so well?
Is this a human being?
Others are performing on the stage, but you two are dating on the stage, making everyone eat dog food, right?
And those boys who still wanted to pursue Bai Lu completely lost their temper after seeing Jiang Shu's perfect performance.

Even my best music is not as good as the other party's, so what's the point of poaching his customers?

In fact, as students of the music academy, most of them have seen Four Lies. The regret that Kousei and Kaoru were unable to play together in the end was actually made up by the two people on the stage.

The 9-and-a-half-minute narrative song reached its climax in the final cadenza. As the last note disappeared in the vibrating strings, the venue suddenly erupted in warm applause.

Jiang Shu and Bai Lu held hands and bowed to the audience to express their gratitude, but the next second, she suddenly threw herself into Xiao Shu's arms excitedly.

The lights on the stage fell, and the girl's upturned face just caught the spotlight that had rotated to the top. As her tender lips trembled, the girl's beautiful confession amid the warm applause suddenly became vivid.

"Xiaoshu! I like you!"
