Chapter 26

The Berlin Philharmonic concertmaster was a proud student of Professor Karl, and the professor was one of the European Academy's important representatives. He was also a long time friend of Min Chen and Daniel.

Robert Karl was not wearing a formal attire even at such an important event, and he came over with his large belly and a wave of his hand. Greeting the others warmly, he then turned to Daniel and said, "Hey, Daniel. Long time no see."

Daniel nudged Professor Karl's chest with his elbow and laughed, "Hey Big Beard, why are you in Huaxia?"

"It's for a competition. Oh right, you haven't met my new student yet." Professor Karl then turned around but found that no one was behind him. He touched his beard and smiled, "Chinese people are shy. I'll introduce Victor to you when we return to Germany. He's a lovely young man."

Almost all the guests were already gone. Professor Karl was among the last few there. He turned to the man with a cold face and passionately said, "Auston, we haven't seen each other for such a long time, why don't you give me a hug? My little baby said she could die for you. She said when she listened to your Berlin tour this year, your charming back almost made her faint!"

As he spoke, Professor Karl, who had enthusiasm akin to the French, stretched out his arms and stepped forward, wanting to give him a hug. However, Min Chen's expression remained unchanged, and he calmly stepped aside, leaving Professor Karl to hug empty air.

The handsome and indifferent man lowered his gaze and pointed at Professor Karl's belly which was so large it could raise a whale and said plainly: "No hugging, I'll panic."

Qi Mu who was resisting the urge to laugh: ". . ."

Daniel who was in the same situation: ". . ."

Professor Karl whose heart was hurt: "Auston, you're getting less and less cute!"

"Not cute." Min Chen lifted his Phoenix's eyes and raised an eyebrow. "When have I ever been cute?"

Professor Karl: ". . ."

What did he say before? Who said Min Chen was easy to get along with, and that he was like a gentleman? Once he's with people he's familiar with, he would unleash his naturally poisonous tongue! Professor Karl, who was the target of his attack, suffered -10,000 damage and died of blood loss.

In fact, Professor Karl had long gotten used to Min Chen's poisonous tongue, but what he didn't understand was why Min Chen seemed a little fiercier today. Which made him wonder who angered this stingy fellow.

Even after he thought about it, he wasn't able to come up with anything. He put the matter aside and chatted with Tan Lao and Du Sheng. When he saw Qi Mu, his eyes suddenly lit up and he gave Qi Mu a big hug.

The panicking Qi Mu: ". . ."

Professor Karl said with a laugh, "Qi Mu, your performance today was amazing. It's a shame I can't bring you to Munich. I remember telling you before that your style is similar to Auston's. I'm surprised you both had the chance to meet so soon."

Once the words were registered, everyone except Qi Mu was stunned. Especially Min Chen. He reflexively turned to look at the youth standing in front of him, his surprise evident.

There was an old Huaxia saying that went: "outsiders understand the situation best". In fact, when they listened to Qi Mu's performance tonight, Min Chen never said a word. He had an inexplicable sense of familiarity when he heard Qi Mu's solo as if he knew the way his performance echoed in his ears. It was very familiar.

At times, things are too familiar to say what about it was familiar.

Min Chen removed his gaze and concealed the look in his eyes.
