Chapter 20 (2/2)

The old man was always doing something special for him. He was touched, but the pressure was intense at the same time.

He had never performed in an indoor concert before, whether in his past life or in this one. It was different from an orchestra concert, and the environment was also different. Fortunately, he was performing solo this time. Otherwise, it would take too much time to prepare if he had to work with others because that would mean they needed to have rehearsals.

“Chamber music. . . chamber music. . . 《Sicily》 or 《Tzigane》. . .”

Qi Mu kept his gaze on the ground, murmuring quietly, as he walked. Although there were lights on both sides of the street, the foliage of the Chinese parasol trees blocked most of it, making the area dim. If one did not look carefully, they can’t even see the faces of the people walking around them.

Qi Mu’s eyes drooped a little, his long eyelashes casting a faint shadow. He walked with his hands in his coat pockets, and the scarf covered half of his face, leaving only his pair of beautiful eyes visible.

“Well, 《Tzigane》 is more appropriate. . .”

Qi Mu walked up the path, unconcerned with his surroundings. Naturally, he didn’t notice that the moment he walked by, a man suddenly stopped and turned around, looking after him blankly.

The moment they passed each other, Qi Mu was still looking down and was in deep thought. While, behind him, another man stood rooted in place. His narrow eyes suddenly widened, staring at Qi Mu’s figure as he slowly walked away.

In his left hand was his mobile phone, a voice chattering away in his ear, “Min, why did you suddenly stop speaking? Hey, dude, say something! I’m telling you, I’m going back to Berlin next week. Don’t try to stop me! My sweetheart calls me every day saying they miss me!”

Fluent German was heard over the phone, but what surprised Min Chen wasn’t the foreign language over the phone. But. . .

The language that rang in his ear as the youth passed by.

It was not Chinese. . .

But German instead.

In that moment of surprise, he saw the young man who was looking at the ground and talking to himself. Black hair fell over his white forehead, his eyes were a light amber, his lashes were long, and his scarf was pulled up so high it covered most his face. A name came to mind immediately——

“Qi. . . Mu?”

On the other end of the phone, Daniel heard Min Chen’s whisper to himself and asked in surprise, “Qi Mu? That Qi Mu? Isn’t that the beautiful person we met at the concert before? Why are you still thinking about him? I brought you his albums and videos from Europe the other day.”

In the cold darkness, Min Chen slowly narrowed his eyes. He studied the person who was steadily walking farther away from him and didn’t move.

In his ear, Daniel’s loud voice continued, “You did want to listen to his solo, right? Okay, a few days ago someone sent us an invitation letter. I saw his name on the performers’ list. I’ll give the invitation to you tomorrow if you want to go. It’s a small indoor concert. . .”

Daniel talked for a long while and didn’t wait for the other party to answer. Just as he thought Min Chen was not going to pay any attention to him, he heard a low reply, “Okay, give it to me tomorrow.”

The autumn wind that evening gradually drowned Min Chen’s voice. And Qi Mu remained ignorant of who he just passed by. Nor did he know that his casual utterance was heard by others.

Although he was Chinese in his past life, he was born in Austria, so his Chinese was rather bad. After being reborn, because the original was born Chinese, he had become fluent overnight.

Even so, a language that had been spoken for over 20 years would not be quickly forgotten. When alone, he would speak German from time to time instead of Chinese.

Austria’s official language was German.

And his German was very fluent and smooth, unlike someone who had studied for only a day or two.

“Uhm. . . Then 《Tzigane》 it is. I’ll talk to Tan Lao tomorrow. It’ll be this one!”

After making his final decision, Qi Mu smiled and looked up at the sky lit by the city lights as he finally reached home.
