C371

Jinan Courtyard.

Ever since Qi Mubai disappeared, Qi Zhifei had always been in a gloomy mood. Everyday, when Wen Liang and Qi Ye returned home, the first question he would ask was: "Have you found Qi Mubai yet?"

Instead, he sat on the ground and played dominoes. Wen Liang went up and squatted beside him, accompanying him as he spoke.

"Because I can't sleep soundly because your mother is not by my side." The man spoke with a straight face.

Wen Liang laughed and wanted to hug Qi Zhifei, but he realized that he wasn't strong enough, so he held onto the little guy's hand and said: "Don't listen to your father's nonsense, your mother will sleep with you tonight."

Qi Zhifei followed Wen Liang to his room, and while walking, he smugly turned his head and stuck out his tongue at his own Old Qi. Then, he pretended to be well-mannered in front of Wen Liang: "Mother, this way the Old Qi will lose sleep, isn't it very pitiful?"

"Nope."

Qi Ye: "..."

He may have taken a false wife.

Yue Chan did not come back until around 11 PM. At this moment, Qi Ye coincidentally came out of Qi Zhifei's room and covered the mother and son with a blanket.

Yue Chan was wearing a pair of flat shoes and white jeans. Her hair was messy and she looked to be exhausted.

"I still can't find Mubai's whereabouts …." She looked at Qi Ye in disappointment, then changed her shoes and sat on the sofa tiredly, her eyes red. "Brother-in-law, Mubai has autism, he has already been missing for such a long time, what if something bad happens …"

As she spoke, her voice became choked with sobs.

Qi Ye walked to the side and handed over two tissues to her.

His sudden action surprised even Yue Chan, the sobs coming to a halt.

After a long while, she finally caught the tissue in Qi Ye's hand and quickly changed the topic, "A six or seven year old child, and one that was lost in public. Why is it that even after so long, the police still could not find his whereabouts?"

Yue Chan looked at Qi Ye who was standing in front of her with sorrow filling his stomach, his red eyes filled with tears, looking extremely pitiful.

"Xiao Yue." Qi Ye suddenly called her name with deep meaning in his voice.

Yue Chan helplessly raised her head and heard him speak, "Follow me."

Stunned, Yue Chan looked at the man's back in confusion. Where did he want to take him?

After hesitating for a moment, she stood up and followed behind Qi Ye.

The place Qi Ye took her to was the Zither Department.

In the guqin room, there was a beautiful grand piano. A rectangular piano stool of black flannel.

Before she could finish speaking, Qi Ye suddenly closed the door and locked it.

His heart thumped once, Yue Chan's frown deepened: "Brother-in-law?"

Qi Ye pointed to the zither stool and said softly: "Sit."

"..." Yue Chan hesitated as she sat down on the zither stool.

Qi Ye caressed the keys, and said to her with an amiable smile: "How about this piano?"

Bringing her here to admire the zither in the middle of the night? Yue Chan lightly touched the zither keys, and commented: "It's not very good, but it's not bad either. Why are you asking me this all of a sudden? "

Yue Chan's face stiffened for a moment, then she laughed calmly: "I remember that big sister doesn't know how to play the zither …."

"Yes, but you will." Qi Ye sat down on the zither stool right beside Yue Chan.

He did everything possible to get close to the man in front of him, and when this man really came close to him, for some reason, Yue Chan's heart was panicking. Especially when he smiled at amiably, Yue Chan felt that there was a hidden meaning behind his smile that could not be ignored.

Yue Chan smiled and acted as if she did not see anything, she only laughed and said: "It's still not as good as when you played. I remember the first time I saw you, you were wearing a dress, sitting on the zither bench."

After saying all that, Yue Chan coincidentally looked back and asked with a sweet smile, "Do you still remember the first time we met?"

Qi Ye nodded his head, "Of course I remember. The Polish capital, Warsaw Hall of Love held an international competition for Chopin pianos. At that time, you were still young. "

Yue Chan laughed and said, "Why are you so old? Didn't you just graduate from high school at that time? At that time, I was determined to get first place so that I could participate. But no matter what, I never thought that it would be you, this dark horse that came out of nowhere, that caused me to lose my reputation. Did you know? At that time, my mother and I agreed that if I were to win first place in the competition, I would continue learning music. If not, I would have given up. I was so determined to get it. I was the only one of those auditions that was held every five years that were held that year that were not even eighteen years old. "It could be said that he broke his criteria to qualify for the competition …"

Actually, at first, Qi Ye did not want to participate in this competition. The person who registered for him was Qi Ming, and the person who sent him to Poland to participate was also Qi Ming.

It was he who said: "The Chopin International Piano Competition is one of the most famous, most rigorous, most authoritative and highest-ranking piano competitions in the world. It is held only once every five years and is known as the Piano Olympics. If you don't go, Big Bro will feel that I have let down your talent. Just listen to Big Bro and try your luck, the ranking is not important, what's important is that if you want to walk down this path in the future, at least it will count as a rich life experience for you. "

So, later on, he went.

Qi Ye was recalling the events that happened back then, and Yue Chan smiled as she said: "Although Xiao Bang was held in October, the truth is that the first time we met was in June, which is the day your senior high organizes the graduation party. That should be the first time we meet."

Yue Chan remembered it very clearly, but Qi Ye was confused.

Yue Chan smiled and nodded, then said: "I don't know if you remember, but on the night before the competition, you met an acute appendicitis patient at the hotel, and it was you who sent her to the hospital."

"Is that you?" Obviously, Qi Ye could no longer remember that the girl he had saved at that time was actually Yue Chan.

But he did remember that night.

At that time, he had already finished participating in the competition and was about to return to the hotel to pick up his luggage and fly back home. However, he met a girl in the elevator who was riding with him. He finally carried the girl to the hospital and missed the flight home.

Seeing Qi Ye's expression, Yue Chan frowned: "Looks like you don't remember. "At that time, my appendicitis was perforated and caused a toxic infection in my abdominal cavity. If you hadn't sent me to the hospital in time, I would have really died …"

"Oh? "Is that so?" After Qi Ye finished participating in the competition, he went to the airport to book a plane ticket. Flying from Vienna to Shu City would take at least twelve hours and five minutes.

There was still a seven-hour time difference between Vienna and China, and if he booked a ticket after the game and flew back home that afternoon, he would still be able to attend the high school graduation party. At that time, Wen Liang texted him that if he could return to the graduation party, he would definitely not miss it.

At that time, he had told Wen Liang with certainty that he would not make it back in time.

In reality, she had booked a ticket in a proud manner, hoping to see the little girl's pleasantly surprised expression at the graduation party.

In the end, however, the flight was delayed because the girl was saved.

When Yue Chan brought up this matter, she gradually remembered that the girl's pale face was somewhat similar to Yue Chan's. It was just that Yue Chan had grown up now and her facial features had become even more three-dimensional.

Later on, in Poland, it was because they had also won a prize and Yue Chan had actively sought him out to speak with him. That was why he had remembered Yue Chan and believed that it was the first time the two had met.

Qi Ye suddenly looked back at Yue Chan: "Speaking of this matter, I missed my wife's graduation ceremony because I saved you."

Yue Chan's face instantly became somewhat ugly, but she still forced out a smile.

However, Qi Ye acted as if he didn't see anything and continued, "At that time, the reason why I didn't attend the awards ceremony was because I was busy buying tickets at the airport. I calculated that the time would be right before the graduation party, so I wanted to surprise her …."

"Maybe it's because the plan still can't keep up with the changes!" Yue Chan said with a smile, but in her heart she was thinking: What should be missed will always be missed, from then on, Qi Ye and Wen Liang should never be together!

Qi Ye looked at Yue Chan, her gaze deep as he looked into her clear eyes, and asked her: "Xiao Yue, other than Xi Meng, have you ever loved anyone else deeply? Love, love to the point of no return? "
