"Hey, you're wearing a blazer and carrying a violin, why are we still asking you to check your ticket?"
"If everyone uses your method, no one will buy tickets."
Xia Yu couldn't help but roll his eyes. For Sherlock Bond Hunter Burne Ingrid, the master of backstage infiltration, it would be too easy for him to evade the ticket. He didn't even have to pretend to be a band member. But as a new-age rich man, his moral character is noble and his integrity is the most basic. He would never do such a thing.
"But I saw a movie before, and the thieves in the movie disguised themselves as cleaners and carried away the 'iron' fence made of melted gold bars."
"Kid, movies are all lies."
After hearing what Xia Yu said, Ji Yang was speechless for a moment. After fairy tales deceived people, are movies also deceiving people?
In fact, the person who should not have said this was Xia Yu. He had collected a lot of props from the movie, and he should be the one who knew best whether the movie was a lie or not.
They came to the concert hall and sat down in the VIP seats. This time, the two of them used their money to get the best seats. Sitting here, he could see her and she could see him.
When the time came, the members of the Sanremo Orchestra entered the venue in an orderly manner, carrying their instruments. Maria was the last one to enter. When she arrived on the stage, she sat directly next to the conductor.
As the principal of the first violin section, she is not only the principal of the entire string group, but also the principal of the entire orchestra. It is such an honor. Then Maria saw Xia Yu.
His face hadn't changed much, but his eyes were full of surprise, like the joy of reuniting with old friends.
She didn't expect Xia Yu to come today. They hadn't seen each other for almost a year. She knew that he became a cello intern at the Magic City Orchestra. He was sitting here today. Did he already know that he had become the principal violinist?
In that short moment, a thousand thoughts came to mind, but Maria remained calm due to her good professionalism.
She pressed her chin against the chin rest, strummed the bow, and under the guidance of the conductor, she played the first note.
It sounds nice. As the principal, her skills are impeccable. However, the violin that has been with her for many years is no longer worthy of her. Only those priceless famous violins can produce a smoother sound.
Xia Yu made an evaluation in his heart. This was why he came here.
A true performer and his instrument complement each other. I hope to see the day when "Croall McEwen" can make Maria successful, so that its value will no longer be measured by 2.2 million pounds.
After listening to the concert attentively, all the orchestra members stood up to salute and everyone gave their applause generously.
"Why are you here?"
Halfway through the exit, Maria, who had just entered the backstage, handed the piano to her deputy principal and trotted to the VIP seats in the front desk in her high heels.
"I couldn't come. Congratulations, Maria!"
Xia Yu personally sent his blessings.
"Thank you, thank you and Albert for coming to see me."
Maria said gratefully.
She has many friends, but there is only one like Xia Yu. He comes from the mysterious China, he has great artistic talent, he is rich and humble, and most importantly, he understands her.
They met on the train, got to know each other in the Golden Hall of Vienna, and got to know each other in Cremona. He understood her piano playing, and she knew his talent. If Maria knew Chinese, she would definitely know that this was a soulmate.
Today, her soulmate came to see her, how could she not be happy.
"You guys talk first, I'll go talk."
Ji Yang not only doesn't want to be a light bulb, he also wants to provide assists.
"Albert..."
"Don't worry about him for now, your hands will get cold on the stage!"
Xia Yu took a hand as he spoke. The little hand was warm, not cold, but he felt a thin layer of calluses.
How can one not get calluses after practicing the piano for a long time? But even with calluses, these hands are still the most beautiful.
"I, I'm not cold."
Maria's hand was held in Xia Yu's palm. She couldn't think of what to say and answered hesitantly.
Because of her love for art, this was the first time she felt so embarrassed.
"Not cold? Then look at the gift I brought you?"
Xia Yu said as he loosened his hands, took off his suit, and wrapped them around Maria's hands. Then she felt something hard.
"This is?"
Her expression instantly became one of extreme surprise.
"You guessed right, Croall McEwen, Stradivari made in 1684. I took a picture of it for you."
Xia Yu said as he took off her clothes, only to see Maria holding a harp in one hand and a bow in the other, her hands trembling slightly.
"This is my promise. If you do it, I will do it too."
Looking into Maria's eyes, he saw tears welling up.
"Don't cry, play a song for me, okay?"
"Um!"
Maria replied with a choked voice.
As she placed the ancient violin on her shoulder, she could no longer hold back her tears, which burst out.
Yes, this was his promise to her. Maria remembered that she kissed him at that time, but she was only moved by those words. She had never really thought about the promise, or rather, she did not dare to think about it before working hard to become the chief.
Today, he appeared in front of him again, fulfilled his promise, and gave him a St. Petersburg piano.
"Why, why are you so nice to me?"
Maria looked at Xia Yu with tears in her eyes. She wanted to know why.
"There's no reason, but if I have to say, it's probably because of your hard work and talent that impressed me. You're growing faster than I thought, and that's pushing me to hurry up."
