Chapter 44 Thoughts

Yang Jingxing sent Li Yingzhen home first, and then sent Yu Xinting back to school.

Yu Xinting looked forward to Yang Jingxing's future happily: "You will definitely be able to travel around the world in the future, and you want to take photos for me."

Yang Jingxing said: "I don't like traveling, so I won't go."

"why?"

"I like home."

Yu Xinting took it for granted: "Then you won't be in school anymore."

Yang Jingxing said: "I still have to study, where can I go if I'm not in school... Oh, you can't bear apples anymore!"

"No! You wronged me!" Yu Xinting patted her thigh, "It's because you were with Professor Li at noon. Hey, what are you having for dinner? Is it steak?"

Yang Jingxing said: "I don't know, if it tastes good, we will go next time."

Yu Xinting was worried: "It must be very expensive... I still like to eat hot pot... You will wear a dress tomorrow night, I really want to see it."

Yang Jingxing said, "Of course you are going! Don't even think about running away."

Yu Xinting asked, "Will you give us an invoice?"

Yang Jingxing said: "I'll ask at night, if it's gone, you can feel wronged in the background."

Yu Xinting is not particular about it: "As long as you can go."

Yang Jingxing went home, changed his clothes, and called his mother.Xiao Shuxia yelled, saying that she was going to drive to Puhai overnight, and shouted: "Why are you telling us now!"

Yang Jingxing said: "I also just received the notice, you leave tomorrow morning, there is time."

Xiao Shuxia refused: "No! I want to go early, so as not to embarrass you."

Xiao Shuxia asked many details, and then told Yang Jingxing to have a good rest at night, she had the key herself.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Yang Jingxing and Li Yingzhen arrived at the restaurant of the hotel where Niu Ai was staying on time.Jaromil and Music Strings were already waiting, both dressed formally.

The dinner lasted for two hours, and it was for everyone to get to know each other better, and of course they got to know more about Yang Jingxing.There is also the matter of performances. Yang Jingxing is a guest star in friendship, so he doesn't sign any contract. Every night there is a concerto, which is La San and Beethoven's third, and it is the finale.Of course, Jaromil also encouraged Yang Jingxing to prepare some small programs in case of coming back.

Yang Jingxing proposed to invite friends and asked if he could still buy tickets.Yue Xian contacted the organizer and got six tickets for Saturday night, but there were no more tickets for Friday.Of course, Yang Jingxing had to pay for all of this.As for Li Yingzhen and Yang Jingxing's parents being able to sit in the VIP box, it can be arranged.Jaromil and the others also wanted to meet Yang Jingxing's parents and see how they raised this genius.

It was almost eleven o'clock before Li Yingzhen was sent home after dinner.Yang Jingxing called Tao Meng first: "Are you asleep?"

Tao Meng said, "Get ready for bed, it's so late, what's the matter?"

Yang Jingxing said: "I'm performing at the Puhai Concert Hall on Saturday night, are you free?"

"Saturday night? You just notified me now!" Tao Meng was not surprised at all.

Yang Jingxing explained: "I only made sure in the afternoon."

Tao Meng asked, "What performance? Organized by your school?"

Yang Jingxing was proud: "I collaborate with the New York Philharmonic Orchestra."

"Bragging!" Tao Meng asked again: "How did you get chosen? Is it official?"

Yang Jingxing fawned on him: "It's not formal, I have the nerve to invite you!"

Tao Meng doubted: "Saturday night, can I still buy tickets now?"

Yang Jingxing said: "I have, everything is ready, you just come alone."

Tao Meng said, "Who else is there? Are your parents here?"

Yang Jingxing said: "They are already on their way. I am going to invite Hu Yiqing, there is also a graduate student from the piano department who taught me, and Yu Xinting and a friend of hers."

Tao Meng was a little sarcastic: "There are still a lot of people... Are you free tomorrow? Let's meet and talk."

Yang Jingxing said: "There will be a performance tomorrow night, and we will practice the troupe during the day."

Tao Meng called: "Then who are you inviting tomorrow night!"

Yang Jingxing quickly explained that it was because there was no ticket, but Tao Meng still said that he would meet for a meeting at noon tomorrow.Then Yang Jingxing called Hu Yiqing again, and Hu Yiqing was very happy.Yu Xinting was still awake, and Yang Jingxing could hear her telling An Xin the good news.

After Yang Jingxing got home, he had to take a shower and wash his clothes, and he thought about Beethoven, who hadn't practiced much.At around twelve o'clock, I heard the door opening and Xiao Shuxia's reprimand: "Keep your voice down, you woke him up!"

Yang Jingxing called out, "I haven't slept yet!"

Yang Chengyi and Xiao Shuxia hurried into the room, blaming Yang Jingxing for not sleeping, but then they dragged him and asked him questions for over an hour.

Xiao Shu Xia Le: "No wonder why the money on your card is used so quickly!" Actually, it doesn't matter.

Yang Chengyi told his son to be calm and take a rest.

At eight o'clock on Friday morning, Xiao Shuxia was about to take her son to buy clothes when Yang Jingxing received a call from Tao Meng: "I got the ticket for tonight, have your parents arrived yet?"

Yang Jingxing was angry: "I don't even have it...they are here."

Tao Meng asked: "How do you arrange your time? Can we meet in the morning?"

The two discussed for a while, and decided to meet in the concert hall before noon, and Yang Jingxing would only start training in the afternoon.

The son is going to cooperate with foreigners, Xiao Shuxia is really uncomfortable not spending money, not to mention she has to dress herself up, so she has no rest all morning.

At ten o'clock, Yang Jingxing, who couldn't wait for his mother, went to the concert hall first, and met Tao Meng at the door.The two of them went to the car to chat, and Tao Meng was much more careful about Xiao Shuxia's problems, to understand clearly how Yang Jingxing hooked up with Niu Ai.

Tao Meng still didn't believe it: "That's it? I want you to come on stage?"

Yang Jingxing said, "What else can I do?"

Tao Meng poured cold water: "This is your first performance, what if something goes wrong due to lack of preparation? Why are you so hasty? Why didn't you tell me earlier!"

Yang Jingxing said: "There will be no mistakes, even if there are, it's not me."

Tao Meng said: "No matter who it is, you are the most affected... Do you know how it feels to face thousands of people on stage for the first time? I used to speak on stage at school, and my legs were shaking."

Yang Jingxing said: "I don't believe it, you are bragging!"

Tao Meng hurriedly said, "I'm not in the mood to joke with you... But don't be nervous, playing the piano is different from speaking."

Yang Jingxing smiled: "I called you because I was afraid of being nervous."

Tao Meng taught her a lesson: "What's there to be nervous about? You should just practice by yourself. Didn't Teacher Hu say you are a genius! Do you practice a lot?"

Yang Jingxing said: "Many times, don't worry."

Tao Meng was still worried: "Can I go and have a look this afternoon?"

Yang Jingxing said no problem.But there is an appointment for lunch, Li Yingzhen and Xiao Shuxia are going to meet.Tao Meng hesitated again: "Are they going to accompany you this afternoon?"

Yang Jingxing smiled: "I can't drive you away."

Tao Meng blamed: "This is not good, you need to be quiet by yourself...I'll go eat first, and call me when you finish eating."

Yang Jingxing invited: "Let's go together."

Tao Meng shook her head: "During the introduction, I said that I was your high school classmate and I also practiced piano before."

Yang Jingxingle: "Otherwise, what else can I say?"

Tao Meng stared.

After eleven o'clock, Xiao Shuxia and Yang Chengyi rushed over and waited for Li Yingzhen for a few minutes.Li Yingzhen brought Yu Xinting with her again today, it seems that she is really working hard to cultivate her.

"Hello, uncle and aunt." Seeing the elders, although Yu Xinting was polite, she was also a little shy.

Xiao Shuxia's enthusiastic expression: "Hello...Professor Li, is this yours?"

Li Yingzhen said: "Students, just like Yang Jingxing, freshmen... They knew each other very early, before entering school."

Yang Jingxing introduced: "Her name is Yu Xinting, and she met when she was preparing for the exam last year."

Xiao Shuxia looked at Yu Xinting: "Where are you from?"

"I'm from Yidu."

Xiao Shuxia oh, said to her husband: "The girls over there are all small and juicy, pretty. How old are you?"

"Eighteen." Yu Xinting became more and more embarrassed.

Xiao Shuxia was surprised: "Looks like fourteen or fifteen years old, doesn't it?"

Yang Jingxing said: "She is afraid of being called young at this age, so let's go eat."

Finding a decent restaurant nearby, Xiao Shuxia entertained the guests: "You can order whatever you like, you're welcome."

Yu Xinting grabbed the edge of the large chair with her hands drooping, and said bluntly, "I like to eat anything."

Xiao Shuxia understood: "You guys probably like spicy food."

Yu Xinting said seriously: "Actually, I don't like chili very much, but I like hot and sour, and I like sweet ones too, but it's not a dish, I like ice cream."

Xiao Shuxia laughed, and asked the waiter, "Do you have any ice cream here?"

"some."

Yu Xinting quickly said: "Don't eat now, wait until the meal is over."

Li Yingzhen explained: "Xin Ting and Jing Xing are very familiar, and they are not polite."

Yang Chengyi said: "This is good, now is not the age of coddling, it's good like this."

Yu Xinting felt embarrassed again and lowered her head.

After eating, Yu Xinting's movements were much more restrained compared to when she was with Yang Jingxing, but she was not twitchy. The chopsticks were still active and frequently moved within the reach of her, occasionally looking at the table, hesitating to move towards it. Start with one set,

Xiao Shuxia asked: "How does it taste, can you get used to it?"

Yu Xinting nodded: "It's all delicious, Auntie, you can eat by yourself, don't worry about me."

The braised pork ribs were a bit big, and Yu Xinting picked them up and accidentally dropped them on the table on the way back to the bowl, but she still wanted to save them.

Xiao Shuxia hurriedly stopped: "No more, Yang Jingxing, push the plate over!"

Yu Xinting picked it up again, quickly put it back into the bowl, and whispered embarrassedly: "It's not dirty at all, it doesn't matter."

Yang Jingxing smiled: "I learned this from me."

Yu Xinting was even more embarrassed: "No."

Yang Chengyi said: "Who knows that every piece of food on the plate is hard work...Parents are well educated."

Yu Xinting said: "Yang Jingxing won't waste either, he eats up the whole table every time."

Yang Jingxing said: "I can eat it purely."

Several people smiled.

After eating, Xiao Shuxia asked Yu Xinting if she wanted ice cream, Yu Xinting shook her head repeatedly: "I'm so full."

Yang Jingxing encouraged: "I'll eat one with you."

Yu Xinting said: "I really can't eat anymore... Thank you auntie, thank you uncle."

Xiao Shuxia smiled and asked, "Do you have any brothers or sisters?"

Yu Xinting shook her head: "No, family planning."

Xiao Shuxia said to her husband, "I feel like a little sister at home."

Still had to go to work, Yang Jingxing called Tao Meng: "We're done eating, you can come over."

Tao Meng said, "I'll be there right away, 10 minutes."

Xiao Shuxia asked: "Who is it? Why didn't you invite me to have dinner together?"

Yang Jingxing said, "A high school classmate."

Yu Xinting looked at Yang Jingxing.

When the group walked to the concert hall, Tao Meng was ready to wait there with a smile, and even took a few steps towards this side: "Hello, hello, we meet again."

Yu Xinting was happy: "It's great that you're here."

Xiao Shuxia remembered: "You are Yang Jingxing's classmate, and you are the student representative at the parent meeting."

Tao Meng nodded: "Yes, you are still so young." It didn't take long.

Yang Jingxing said: "Tao Meng is also a piano learner, let's take a look today."

Xiao Shuxia remembered again: "Tao Meng, it's called Tao Meng... It's changed a lot, hehe, where are you studying now?"

"Fudan University." Tao Meng said to Li Yingzhen without waiting for others to praise: "You are Professor Li, hello."

Li Yingzhen nodded and smiled.

Tao Meng said to Yang Jingxing again: "Don't waste your time, let's go in."

A group of people entered the concert hall, Xiao Shuxia said to Tao Meng: "Thank you for coming, are you not in class today?"

Tao Meng said: "There is no class in the afternoon. I have also learned piano before. Yesterday Yang Jingxing called me and I came to see him. I hope his debut will be successful."

Yu Xinting asked, "Will you come tonight?"

Tao Meng nodded: "Come on, the tickets are already booked."

Yu Xinting asked again: "What about tomorrow?"

Tao Meng said: "Come too." Then he said to Yang Jingxing: "I don't need your ticket anymore, you can give it to other friends." Then he asked Xiao Shuxia: "You came all night, didn't you work hard?"

Xiao Shuxia said: "No, no."

After going up to the second floor, Yeromir and Yue Xian who were waiting met Xiao Shuxia and Yang Chengyi.Yang Jingxing was responsible for translating English into Chinese, and Le Xian was responsible for translating Chinese into English, establishing a friendly bilateral relationship.After chatting for half an hour, Xiao Shuxia's sense of vanity rose steadily.She also said that she didn't prepare a gift because she came in a hurry, and she was very embarrassed. Musician also smiled and translated.

Jeromir said that Yang Jingxing was the best gift, which almost scared Yang Chengyi and his wife.This is their son, don't give it away.

Tao Meng also finally found a chance to respect Jeromil, first introduced herself as Yang Jingxing's high school classmate in fluent English, then said welcome to Puhai, wished the performance a success, and liked what he conducted.

Let's get down to business, Yang Jingxing has to practice Beethoven's "Piano Concerto No. [-] in C Minor" with the orchestra.A large group of foreigners in the practice hall aroused Xiao Shuxia's interest, and she looked at each of them, hoping to find a beautiful woman or something.

Tao Meng was still being polite: "Professor Li, please sit down, Auntie..."

Tao Meng sat on Xiao Shuxia's right, and Yu Xinting sat on Tao Meng's right.Tao Meng said to Yu Xinting: "You are a professional, if there is anything wrong with his playing later, you can tell me, thank you."

Yu Xinting was embarrassed: "You must know better than me how he plays, but it's a pity that you didn't come yesterday..."

Tao Meng smiled.

Yeromir paid tribute to Xiao Shuxia before starting, and he didn't intend to find fault, and just went over it completely.

Yang Jingxing was sitting in front of the piano, but the prelude lasted for a few minutes and nothing happened to him.With an orchestra of dozens of people, this feeling is very different from listening to CDs at home or watching Yang Jingxing's solo.Xiao Shuxia was in a hurry, she swayed her body following the melody of the band, staring at her son closely.

Finally, Yang Jingxing started, Xiao Shuxia laughed.Yang Chengyi wasn't in the mood to enjoy music, so he went to watch people, hoping to find something from their expressions.The magnificent climax at the end of the first movement caused Xiao Shuxia to grab her husband's hand, almost grinning in pain.

Tao Meng looked at it seriously and didn't notice that Yu Xinting glanced at her from time to time.

"Piano Concerto No. [-] in C Minor" is magnificent and powerful, suitable for Yang Jingxing's appearance and style, so Yeromir specially designated this piece.His choice was right, Yang Jingxing's entire performance was impeccable, even the depth of the second movement was just right.Gradually, both Xiao Shuxia and Yang Chengyi got involved in the play, and the focus of work shifted from eyes to ears, especially the funny Yang Chengyi's blank expression.

At the end of the four 10-minute pieces, Jeromil led the applause again, allowing the rest of the band to follow.Yuexian also said to Xiao Shuxia and Yang Chengyi here: "He is really... that's great!"

That's right, although Xiao Shuxia and Yang Chengyi didn't hear anything ugly, they just thought it was good.What a brilliant and atmospheric music, it's what Yang Jingxing should do.

Tao Meng also smiled and applauded, and asked Yu Xinting, "Is it okay?"

Yu Xinting smiled.

Jeromil came to ask the audience how they felt, but Yang Chengyi couldn't understand, so he smiled all over his face, and said, "Okay, great! It's all about you, how about Yang Jing?"

Xiao Shuxia tugged at Yang Jingxing's ear again: "Let me see, I'm sweating... I didn't raise you for nothing."

The band needed to do other exercises, so Yang Jingxing and the others went to the lounge to sit and be accompanied by the strings.Yu Xinting took the initiative today: "Auntie, what do you and uncle drink?"

"Water, coffee, whatever you want." Xiao Shuxia didn't have the heart to think about this now.

Yu Xinting asked Tao Meng again: "What about you?"

Tao Meng said, "Coffee, with sugar, thank you."

Yang Jingxing followed Yu Xinting: "I'll help you."

"No, don't!" Yu Xinting pushed Yang Jingxing back to the seat.

Le Xian was pleasantly surprised when she learned that Xiao Shuxia and Yang Chengyi were both music blind, and said that her situation was the same, but that was 30 or [-] years ago.Xiao Shuxia asked where are you from?

Yu Xinting came back with coffee and put a cup in front of each of them. Yang Jingxing asked, "Where's your own?"

"Oh... I forgot." Yu Xinting chuckled.

When Yu Xinting came back with a cup and sat down, Yuexian revealed important news: "Mr. Cliff got on the plane at noon today, and he should arrive in the evening. He will listen to Yang Jingxing's performance tomorrow."

Li Yingzhen asked, "That Cliff?"

Yue Xian said: "Artistic Director of Avery Fisher Hall."

Tao Meng said to the dazed Yang Jingxing, "The Avery Fisher Concert Hall is the concert hall of the Lincoln Center for the Arts."

Yang Jingxing hehe: "Oh, I'm sorry."

Yue Xian laughed: "You are so good, you only have the piano in your heart."

Yang Jingxing was even more embarrassed: "It's really ignorant."

Yuexian said conservatively: "I think you have a great chance of going to the United States. Cliff and Yeromil are good friends. I told you in advance, hoping that you will be prepared."

Yang Jingxing was not surprised: "Ah, I still have to study."

Yue Xian said: "Books can be read anywhere, but the audience is different."

Yu Xinting was happy for Yang Jingxing again: "I told you that you are going on a trip."

Yang Jingxing reprimanded: "You think beautifully!"

Tao Meng looked at Xiao Shuxia: "Auntie, what do you and uncle think?"

This is a big problem. When Xiao Shuxia looked at her husband, Yang Chengyi stopped laughing: "This should be carefully considered."

Yang Jingxing looked deathly: "Don't think about it, I won't go."

Tao Meng is nosy: "Do you want to go now?"

Yue Xian smiled: "It's not up to me, but this is a very good opportunity, it's best not to miss it."

Li Yingzhen said: "If you are going to study, you can think about it."

Yang Jingxing didn't respect the teacher: "If it's a performance, I can think about it and study. It's at the Puhai Conservatory of Music. It's very good."

Yang Chengyi taught his son: "Don't say such things!"

Yang Jingxing was very sure: "I want to finish all the courses in the composition department at the conservatory of music, and I won't be a commercial performer either."

Yang Jingxing's face was expressionless, so that no one else knew what to say. Only Yang Chengyi could ask, "Then what are you thinking?"

Yang Jingxing chuckled again: "I don't think it's interesting to learn music without family and friends."

Xiao Shuxia taught him a lesson: "He will speak nicely... But I am also reluctant to let him go so far."

Li Yingzhen said: "I believe that with your talent, you can achieve your dreams even in the Conservatory of Music."

After chatting for a while, Tao Meng checked the time and said to Yang Jingxing, "I'm going home first."

Xiao Shuxia kept a guest: "Let's sit again."

Tao Meng said, "I'm going back to prepare. Goodbye, Auntie, and Professor Li."

Yu Xinting reminded: "Come early at night."

Tao Meng nodded.
