Chapter 307 Chance Encounter

The lanterns are on.

Chugo took a taxi to the opera house where Robin performed.

Style is style. Other stars’ concerts are in stadiums, but this one’s concert is in the opera house.

This means that there are not many seats, and it also means that it is extremely niche. The people who come to listen to this kind of pure piano performance are inherently a niche within a niche, and they are all "upper class people" or young music talents.

Chu Ge is neither of the two. Since he has played many piano and flute ensembles with Qiu Wuji, he can barely be considered the latter, but as Qiu Wuji said, if you want to listen, you should also go to the Chinese style concert.

Listening to Chopin and Mozart played on the piano, I really don’t feel much.

The sun is shining, the snow is shining... just think of it as a rest.

Sure enough, after checking the tickets and entering the venue, the number of people was not satisfied. Only about two-thirds of the seats were filled, which was already more people than Chugo expected.

No wonder Long Luojia got tickets so easily.

My seat was neither forward nor backward, but rather in a corner. When I walked over, there was no one sitting next to me, so I felt quite comfortable. Chu Ge leaned back comfortably on the chair and fell asleep, still recalling the feeling of peeking into the time from the book in his mind.

Chu Tiange in childhood, swordsman Qiuqiu...

Going forward, can we see Yunji Sect disciple Qiuqiu, the fledgling young Qiuqiu, the young girl Qiuqiu, the Qiuqiu with a runny nose and crotchless pants...

You still want to see me wearing crotchless pants from old photos, but it seems you want me to see you wearing crotchless pants first, hahaha~

Just as I was thinking this, a fragrant breeze came from my nose. Chu Ge opened his eyes subconsciously and was frightened.

Gu Ruoyan stood beside him and looked at him in surprise: "Why are you here?"

Chu Ge was even more speechless: "I just want to ask this question, okay? Is it unusual for me from Nanjiang to come to Nanjiang's performance? You are a Beijing official, why are you here?"

Gu Ruoyan looked around, shook his head and didn't answer, sitting directly next to Chu Ge.

Chu Ge subconsciously hid aside.

Gu Ruoyan smiled instead: "Hey, am I some kind of scourge?"

Chu Ge almost cried: "My girlfriend is jealous. I didn't even go to the concert with her, but I ended up going to the concert with you. Don't cheat me, it will kill people..."

Gu Ruoyan said speechlessly: "I'm here on official business, why don't you leave?"

Chu Ge: "..."

"With so many people attending a concert here, can your girlfriend be so jealous? I can't tell that she is so tall and timid." Gu Ruoyan squinted at him and did not continue, with a look on his face. It just says that there is a reason why I looked down on you in the first place.

Chu Ge: "Grass."

He sat back in his chair helplessly: "Where is your seat?"

"Yes." Gu Ruoyan said with a straight face, "Who wants to sit with you?"

"What a coincidence, who arranged it?"

"That's not true. I bought this ticket myself."

After a few words of conversation, the awkwardness between the two of them was reduced. Gu Ruoyan continued: "We are acquaintances after all. We can chat when we sit together. I am not afraid of gossip, but you have more to do."

This punch... forget it, it seems to be the same. This is the true innocence. It is only when you avoid it that you have a ghost in your heart.

Chu Ge took out his mobile phone and started sending WeChat messages.

Gu Ruoyan asked curiously: "What?"

Chu Ge said: "I will report it to my girlfriend so that we can explain it later."

Gu Ruoyan: "..."

Both of them were extremely jealous.

After Chu Ge finished reporting, the two of them stared at each other for a moment before getting down to business. Chu Ge first asked: "You are here on official business, does it mean that Master Robin has a problem, or is he just collecting information about your abilities?"

"Have you forgotten? About the Magic City, you told us that the other party might be a musician."

Chu Ge almost forgot that he had brought this on himself.

Gu Ruoyan said: "Of course there are so many musicians, we can't judge. When this is delivered to your door, you should observe it. I take it you are here for this too?"

"Yes." Chu Ge said, "I am an ordinary citizen and can only observe in secret. Why are you so cowardly?"

"We can't arrest foreign guests and ask questions. We can only observe first. Other foreigners are also observed by our colleagues. Robin is more important. I will do it myself. Nanjiang Station is his first stop in the country, and I may also I followed him to observe several stations..."

"It's really troublesome. Why did you ask us directly? Foreign guests are just awesome people, right?" Chu Ge was angry.

"To be honest, when did we directly arrest you, who asked?" Gu Ruoyan said angrily: "If others don't tell me, I just say that your girlfriend is acting weird. Have we asked? You can ask the black room again. Which of us have investigated those people? We didn’t know about Zhu Mengmeng’s superpower before it manifested. On the contrary, we are more wary of these foreigners, and that’s why I came to keep an eye on them personally.”

"Uh..." Chu Ge thought it was right. It seemed that he was not objective.

Thinking this way, I felt a sense of civic responsibility, and I puffed my chest out and said, "Then I'll help you. What can foreigners criticize..."

Gu Ruoyan glanced at him with a half-smile but said nothing.

Chu Ge said: "Are you alone? You are not a combat type. What if something goes wrong?"

Gu Ruoyan said: "The moon shadow is in the dark."

Chu Ge: "...Yueying is partnering with you now? Is he considered your subordinate?"

"Actually, we are in different departments, but Yueying was brought in by me. Of course I prefer to cooperate with her." Gu Ruoyan said: "Since you want to live a normal life, you'd better not involve too much in these things..."

Chu Ge said: "Do you consider this concern or contempt?"

Gu Ruoyan smiled: "I'm afraid you will be beaten by your girlfriend."

Chu Ge: "..."

While talking, the lights dimmed.

The theater where everyone was whispering suddenly fell silent. Chu and Ge also stopped talking and looked towards the stage.

A beam of light shone on the corner of the stage, revealing a piano. A tall, handsome middle-aged white man sat at the edge of the piano and pressed the first note.

The fingertips bloomed, and a song "To Alice" flowed out smoothly.

The theater fell silent and began to listen.

Chu Ge and Gu Ruoyan stopped talking and leaned back on their chairs to listen quietly.

No matter what position or purpose, music itself is a very powerful weapon that makes people willing to feel and listen.

Especially for a classic song like "Für Elise", when played by a world-renowned pianist, it only takes a few seconds for people to be immersed in it.

Chu Ge had to admit that this guy played really well, at least better than the poor flute he was scolded by Qiuqiu every day.

But judging from Chu Ge's appreciation, this guy may not be as good as Qiuqiu's guqin...after all, the ten thousand year old lady.

Of course, it is difficult to compare different musical instruments, and Chu Ge is naturally biased and unable to be objective.

In short, his immersion level would be much lighter than others. While others were immersed in music, he began to look at Daniel Robin.

A typical handsome white man, he actually looks a bit like Tom Cruise, and I have to say he is quite charming. Chu Ge subconsciously matched Mi Xiaolin with him, wanting to see if they were a good match or not, but he immediately burst into laughter. There was no such thing as a good match or not. Even if it was really him, they were not a couple.

As for the fluctuations in abilities...

Didn't feel it.

Chu Ge turned to look at Gu Ruoyan, who was frowning and looking at the stage, thoughtfully.

"How is it?" Chu Ge asked in a low voice: "You have been doing this work for a long time and have rich experience. Have you noticed anything?"

"without……"

"What about mind reading? Can he read anything? If he is an extremely powerful superpower, can he block your mind reading?"

"Yes." Gu Ruoyan glanced at him: "Just like your girlfriend."

Chugo tilted his head.

Gu Ruoyan continued: "Regardless of whether he has special powers or not, at least he is not blocking anything at the moment. I can read his heart that is immersed in music at this time, and his mind is full of flying notes."

So this observation is equivalent to giving away the ticket money for free? Oh no, I didn’t spend any money.

Chu Ge looked at the stage in fascination, secretly thinking that Lao Tzu is a fake god, and he is supposedly better than Gu Ruoyan. If he can't tell it, then he must be fine?

Not necessarily so…

From the experience of Qiuqiu Ensemble, Chu Ge clearly knows that music does not necessarily require any supernatural powers or special skills. As long as you are immersed in this way deeply enough, music itself is an ability that can trigger people's emotions. Joy, anger, sorrow, and joy can arouse people's various emotions and put them into various artistic conceptions.

So is there anyone who can brainwash and hypnotize people simply by using music itself?

Chu Ge looked around, wondering if he was suspecting his neighbor of stealing an axe. He always felt that the people around him had a glow of fanaticism and obsession.
