After hearing this, Martha, the Santa Claus in the noodle shop, snorted and turned to look at Chu Mengyao. Her mouth was a little sarcastic. She said directly in English: "I'll listen to your performance in ten minutes. If you can't meet my requirements, I'm sorry..." She shrugged with regret.

Her expression was very clear. Chu Mengyao didn't feel surprised or angry after listening, but said calmly, "OK, I'll prepare first." She didn't defend herself or argue about anything. Her heart is very clear, in front of the palace level figures, strength is the only measure. If the strength is not enough, any language is weak.

Martha was puzzled to see her turn away. "What does she mean by that?"

"Martha," Pete looked at her with a look of embarrassment. He took a look at the staff around her and began to speak French. "I told you a long time ago. I'd better treat her better. You won't forget what you said in the invitation video? You said you like her very much and appreciate her, so you would invite her to a concert in China. At least on the surface, you should know her very well. Don't you forget that you used to be her judge

"What the hell is this!" Martha didn't agree. "I don't remember who she is at all. All the things in that video were read after you wrote them." She looked at Pete impatiently. "I'm not interested in taking any students or being her teacher."

"Well, don't say any more!" Pete's brows were locked. Fortunately, they were speaking in French. The staff nearby didn't know what they were saying. "You won't forget, how did we hold the concert here? Do you forget that as long as she can show up at the concert, you... "

"Shut up Martha's face was ugly. Before he finished, she interrupted and said angrily, "Pete, do you know what you're talking about? If her performance is too bad, it will degrade my performance. " Her reputation in the world has always been very good. She doesn't care much about money interests. What she values most is her reputation. She hopes that everything in the concert can be more perfect. The concert in China is her first appearance in China. She attaches great importance to it and doesn't want to be messed up because of anything, and doesn't want to be talked about by others because of the careless choice of the guests.

Chu Mengyao had come to the back of the curtain at this time. She first opened the violin box, then zipped it open and took out the cello. She could hear them arguing. Although she didn't know what they were saying, she faintly felt that what they were saying had something to do with herself.

This is her first contact with Martha. The strangeness and contempt in Martha's eyes are very obvious. She can fully feel it. It was not the same attitude as when she was invited. She held her cello and frowned. She thought that she was taken care of by the God of fate, so that she had such good luck and became a guest of Martha's concert. But now it seems that it is not so simple. But she didn't have the chance to think so much. Now that she has come to the capital and become a guest candidate for Martha's concert, she tries her best to do well.

Her hand touched the piano. At this time, she had no way back, she could only move forward.

Chu Mengyao walks to them with cello in her arms. At this time, Martha and Pete no longer quarrel.

"You can have a solo first." Martha's hands were casually on her chest, and her expression was a little impatient.

Chu Mengyao didn't say anything. She sat there and began to play. A beautiful Chinese song is flowing between her fingers. Chu Mengyao's expression is very focused and devoted. This picture looks peaceful and beautiful. The song unfolded Martha's frown.

Chu Mengyao was too involved. When she finished the song, she found that Martha was sitting next to her and the ensemble score had been set in front of her. It's the first time for the two to cooperate, and it's the first time for Chu Mengyao to play with others. She is still a little nervous in her heart, and there are some small flaws in some places. But this time Martha didn't say anything, but patiently corrected her little mistake. Two people together with a few times, tacit understanding is very good, pull out the music is almost perfect.

After the ensemble, Martha didn't say anything or even look at Chu Mengyao, so she was busy rehearsing the repertoire.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Chu Mengyao left the theater with her cello on her back. The hotel and the theater were very close to each other. This time was just the time when there were more people after work. She walked all the way with the crowd.

Tonight happens to be Christmas Eve. Shops in the capital are selling Christmas related items. Many shops have visited Christmas trees of different sizes at the door. There are many small ornaments and flashing lights hanging on them. They look very beautiful. Large shops and staff dressed in santa claus clothes are there to solicit business. The streets and alleys are full of cheerful music, and the air is full of festival atmosphere.

At this time, the wind was already a little cold. Chu Mengyao put her hand in the pocket of her down jacket, and then entered a noodle shop. She sat by the window and put the piano box on the chair beside her. She ordered a bowl of egg noodles. While waiting there, she looked bored at the crowd outside the window.There are too many Christmas related things on the street, hats, fluorescent sticks and beautifully packaged apples. There are also some people dressed as Santa Claus in the stream of people selling things, and many couples strolling in the street with Christmas hats.

Looking at the lovers walking hand in hand on the roadside, Chu Mengyao was a little distracted and stunned.

At this time, a Santa Claus appeared in front of her and waved to her friendly.

When she came back to herself, she saw a delicate gift box handed by Santa Claus and put it in front of her. She didn't quite understand what it meant and looked at each other in surprise. This Santa Claus is very tall, not like the Santa Claus seen on the street.

Santa pushed the box in her direction again.

"For me?" Chu Mengyao points to herself in disbelief.

Santa nodded.

Chu Mengyao hesitated to open the gift box and saw an apple inside. She couldn't help laughing. The meaning of peace is very good. She looked up at him. "Thank you. How much is it?"

The Santa shook his head and waved his hand, indicating that the apple was free.

At this time, the waiter brought the egg noodles. Santa got up and stood aside. When the waiter left, Chu Mengyao found that Santa had already left.

She didn't think so much. She bowed her head to eat noodles, but she was very hungry, but she had no appetite at all. She just took two mouthfuls and didn't want to eat any more.

When she got up and left the noodle shop, Chu Mengyao took the apple and the gift box with her.

By the time we got to the hotel, it was already dark. After Chu Mengyao swiped her house card, she went into her room. She put the box down against the wall and turned around to see that the room had changed a lot.

There is a small round table in front of the French window. There is a candlestick on the table. There is also a well fried medium rare steak, dessert, wine glass and red wine

The most noticeable thing on the table is a big gift box.

She looked at the gift box with some surprise, but her heart was on guard. She walked slowly around the room and didn't find anyone else.

After thinking about it, she dialed the front desk and the waiter politely said, "it's your friend who ordered dinner for you. Please enjoy it slowly."

She was particularly surprised. In the capital, only the organizer of the concert and aiting knew about it. No one else knew about her stay in this hotel. When she asked for her friend's name, the front desk attendant gave a formulaic answer, "your friend didn't leave his name."

Chu Mengyao then asked, "is this friend male or female?"

"It's a gentleman!"

Chu Mengyao heard this sentence, the first flash in her heart is that person, but immediately overturned the idea. There was a wry smile on her lips. She really knew how to associate. They quarreled so much, how could it be him!

Maybe it was arranged for her by the organizer!

Maybe Pete prepared it for her? At that time, after she finished her ensemble with Martha in the afternoon, Pete kept apologizing to her. Maybe this dinner was just an apology from Pete.

Forget it. Don't think about it. Some people are willing to deliver food to her, just because she is not full, it is better to accept.

She walked quickly to the table and was about to sit down when she saw a card under the glass, which said "Merry Christmas!" Although there is no signature, but see the vigorous pen, she can't help but think of a person.

Her heart beat faster unconsciously.

But there was a voice in her heart saying, "how can it be, it can't be his!"

She looked straight at the box and opened it after a while. She saw a little white dress in it, with a note on it. It was his handwriting. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have broken your dress that day. This one should fit you better. "

Her hands trembled and her eyes were red.

Suddenly, she covered the gift box.

Her heart was full of bitterness.

That day, he squeezed her neck hard, full of anger, hoping to strangle her immediately. Later, he left without saying a word or contacting her again. She thought it was over between them by then. But she never thought that this would happen today

Chu Mengyao felt some pain in her temple. Is it really interesting for her to keep entangled in this way?

She felt a little hungry, but when she saw the red wine and steak on the table, she had no appetite at all.

Forget it, I'd better eat apples!

She took out the small gift box from the bag, opened it and took out the apple. Just as she wanted to find a fruit knife to peel it, she saw a row of English words "Merry Christmas" printed on the apple at a glance That character is obviously Fu Yi's font, which makes Chu Mengyao can't help but frown and begin to work hard to return.
