Others were relatively indifferent and showed no interest in Qi Qingnuo's certificate, so Xu Xuesi congratulated him. Qi Qingnuo himself didn't care. After sitting down, he continued to watch the excitement on the stage as if nothing happened.

Yang Jingxing looked at Qi Qingnuo pitifully: "You have to comfort me."

Qi Qingnuo turned his attention to Yang Jingxing: "How to comfort him?"

Yang Jingxing said: "Of course it should be the most effective."

Qi Qingnuo was very embarrassed: "There are many people here, wait a minute."

Qi Qingnuo’s classmate asked with keen ears: “What about us?”

Qi Qingnuo said: "You have already been relieved, you don't need it."

After a while, Yang Jingxing received a call from He Hongchui, telling him not to leave for a while, as he had something to say. So after the competition ended successfully, everyone else left, leaving only Yang Jingxing, the frustrated one.

Qingnuo was originally going to accompany him, but after waiting for a long time and not seeing He Hongchui, there was no hope of having dinner together, so he had to leave first.

Yang Jingxing took the time to call Tao Meng, who had been waiting for good news, and delivered the frustrating result.

Tao Meng didn't believe it: "Did you lie to me?"

Yang Jingxing said: "If I want you to comfort me, I can find any reason."

Tao Meng was silent for a while and asked: "Which one of you won the prize?"

Yang Jingxing said: "Qi Qingnuo won the third prize."

Tao Meng said: "She hasn't released any songs!"

Yang Jingxing said: "That's different."

Tao Meng said: "I want to listen to her award-winning work... who was the judge?" She seemed to have not won the award, and struggled with this issue for a long time. She even comforted Yang Jingxing: "Those people don't understand at all. They should have been there long ago."

You are out of touch with the times and have no qualifications to be a judge!"

Yang Jingxing encouraged: "Yes, scold them to death! Come on!"

Tao Meng shouted: "You are so angry with me! Why do you have no self-esteem at all?"

Yang Jingxing: "You said it sounds nice. Even if the whole world doesn't like me, my self-esteem won't drop."

Tao Meng paused for a while and then said: "Hmph... If it were me, I would definitely ask why my works are not as good as others, and give me a reason!"

Yang Jingxing said: "I have that skill, I might as well listen to you hum."

Tao Meng was angry: "Humph, you didn't even call me yesterday... Where are you now?"

Yang Jingxing made it clear that he was waiting for the teacher, and that he was waiting alone. Tao Meng asked, "Are you happy that Qi Qingnuo won the award?"

Yang Jingxing said: "Of course I'm happy."

Tao Meng asked again: "Then do they want to celebrate?"

Yang Jingxing said that Qi Qingnuo was going to have a party with friends on Christmas Eve.

Tao Meng asked: "Are you going?"

Yang Jingxing said, "You haven't invited me yet?"

Tao Meng said: "I must think you will go, I won't go home on Christmas Eve. I want to play!"

Yang Jingxing understood: "Then I can't go."

The two made an appointment that it would be Yang Jingxing who would pick up Tao Meng tomorrow morning, and it would be Yang Jingxing who would arrange the activities.

He Hongchui came out after seven o'clock, asked Yang Jingxing if he was driving, and then expressed concern: "I'll see you off."

After getting on the bus, He Hongchui first repeated Ding Sangpeng's praise for Yang Jingxing and encouraged Yang Jingxing to write the orchestra version of "Sun in the Rain". These were considered a consolation. He was the one who forced Yang Jingxing to participate in the competition.

After all the nonsense, He Hongchui got to the point: "Do you know why you didn't win the award?"

Yang Jingxing said: "The level is not enough."

He Hongqiu glanced at Yang Jingxing and said: "The orientation of your work is one aspect... Zhang Jiahuo is the chairman of the judges. He personally doesn't like you very much. In fact, several other judges think highly of you."

Yang Jingxing smiled: "I'm sure the chairman is right."

He Hongchui looked at Yang Jingxing again and understood: "It seems that you...are not very good at life."

Yang Jingxing regretted: "I'll pay attention to it in the future."

He Hongchui disagreed angrily: "There's nothing to pay attention to. There's nothing wrong with you as a human being!"

Yang Jingxing was happy: "I listen to you."

He Hongchui smiled: "Anyway, don't have any psychological baggage, just understand it yourself."

Next, He Hongchui asked Yang Jingxing about his recent learning experience. The two mainly discussed his understanding of fugue and polyphony. He Hongchui was rich in knowledge, but Yang Jingxing could pick up on anything he said. After that, he said

In terms of life, He Hongchui heard from the counselor that Yang Jingxing didn't seem to be sociable and felt a bit arrogant. However, He Hongchui said that the conservatory didn't have a strong sense of community in the first place, so it didn't matter.

He Hongchui took Yang Jingxing back to school, and it was almost eight o'clock. After Yang Jingxing ate a bowl of noodles, he returned to 402 and found Yu Xinting and An Xin there.

Yang Jingxing looked at the big Merry Christmas on the blackboard and asked, "Who drew it?"

Yu Xinting said: "We are together, have you eaten?"

Yang Jingxing ate an apple. An Xin asked: "How was the competition?"

Yang Jingxing said: "Qi Qingnuo won the third prize, worth 8,000 yuan, and you want her to treat her."

Yu Xinting was full of hope: "What about you?"

Yang Jingxing was happy: "I can't invite you this time."

Yu Xinting didn't believe it: "No, there must be."

Yang Jingxing said: "Really not? Didn't Qi Qingnuo tell you?"

Yu Xinting shook her head: "I didn't see... there are only three awards in total?"

Yang Jingxing said: "I didn't even get the Excellence Award."

Yu Xinting looked at An Xin, then at Yang Jingxing, and then at the blackboard.

An Xin said: "That's really miserable. We'll miss one meal."

Yang Jingxing smiled: "This is the biggest loss."

Yu Xinting said: "It's not a loss. You don't need a prize to prove yourself. You have already proven yourself!"

Yang Jingxing said: "It can't be that fast unless you all say you like it."

Yu Xinting said righteously: "Of course we like it... I think you should be second or first!"

Yang Jingxing smiled: "That's fine. Are you cold? The weather forecast says it's going to snow."

An Xin said that Anhua had heating in the winter, and she was indeed a little used to it indoors, especially when sleeping at night, but it was much better outdoors than Anhua.

Yu Xinting thought it was okay, recalling the pain and sweetness: "It was really cold where we lived during the exam. I used two hot water bottles and had to change them once in the middle of the night."

An Xin said that Yu Xinting put up two quilts in her dormitory. They were piled so high that she wouldn't know if she was still under the quilt if she didn't climb up to take a look when she got up in the morning.

Yang Jingxing thought again: "You should call Qi Qingnuo to congratulate."

Yu Xinting looked at An Xin and said, "She didn't tell me."

An Xin said: "You still know."

Yu Xinting said: "Then you fight."

An Xin refused: "You two have a better relationship."

Yu Xinting took out her mobile phone and asked Yang Jingxing: "What should I say?"

Yang Jingxing said: "Of course I'm going straight to the point, I want to treat you!"

So Yu Xinting called Qi Qingnuo: "Hey... you want to treat... haha... he just came back for a while... oh, it's okay... okay..." Yang Jingxing asked: "Are you free the day after tomorrow?"

Yang Jingxing shook his head: "Probably not."

Yu Xinting repeated it once, and then hung up the phone.

Yang Jingxing suggested: "Come, let's play a Merry Christmas together."

Yu Xinting became interested: "What is Merry Christmas? That song?"

…

At ten o'clock in the evening, Yu Xinting and An Xin returned to the dormitory. At ten thirty, Yang Jingxing received a call from Qi Qingnuo: "Are you still working hard?"

Yang Jingxing said, "Yeah, I'm jealous."

Qi Qingnuo chuckled: "I just came here with Fu Feirong, but it's a pity that I'm not here. The effect is amazing."

Yang Jingxing asked: "Can she sing?"

Qi Qingnuo said: "Sister Ran taught me, and I taught you again, so what's the problem?"

Yang Jingxing said: "That must be even better."

Qi Qingnuo was hehehe, but suddenly stopped and asked: "Are you not in the mood today?"

Yang Jingxing was surprised: "I hid it so deeply and you saw it?"
