I have average talent, tone-deaf, but joined a music group because they were short of people. After joining, I found out it was full of masters. Beautiful Yara maxed out on violin, viola, and cello. Runaway pianist Finn can play scores backwards fluently. Musical family flute senior Blue never forgets a tune. And me, know nothing, palms full of sweat. They threw me a tuning fork and Maracas, let me shake casually. As long as the sound is small, not disturbing them is fine. Not long after, our small group exploded in popularity. Awards, commercial performances, too many to count. I happily shook my maracas, carefully enjoying their halo. Until one day, a genius music girl graduated from Juilliard, pointed at me saying she wants to replace me. She said I have no rhythm, all wrong beats, she can add highlights to this group, should let her come. Finally, my hanging heart completely died. Chapter 1 Performance ended, audience all stood up, applause thunderous. Another high-level performance! I put away my hands sour from shaking maracas, grinned. So good, another performance fee in hand! Seems saving money to buy a house is hopeful! My heart beautiful. Sure enough, following the right team will be smoother and smoother! Put away maracas, I walked to the front of the stage as usual, curtain call with brothers and sisters in the group. A girl in the front row of audience was particularly dazzling. She was in her early twenties, similar to me. She wore a pink satin evening gown, standing among a group of dark-clothed audience, particularly obvious. Her eyes burning, looking at the stage. When she swept to me, I suddenly shivered. During the performance just now, I had a feeling of being stared at all the time, whole body uncomfortable. After curtain call, some audience stayed at the scene. Since a live stream before, the improvisational talents of several big shots in the group were seen, we became huge fire on internet. After every performance, audience stayed to take photos with us. That gown little girl, holding a piece of paper in hand, look nervous, kept waiting. But she wore a gown inconvenient to move, was squeezed behind by crowd, unable to step forward. Leo is our orchestra conductor, the oldest in the group. He has a three-year-old precious daughter, most can't stand seeing others bully young girls. He didn't say a word, took out a pen, walked to her. "Girl, I sign for you first, later I call others over." Saying, Leo took the paper in her hand, swish swish wrote his name. Then called everyone over. Cellist Yara, Pianist Finn, Flutist Blue successively withdrew from crowd taking photos, signed names on that paper. That girl's eyes full of surprise, but looking at their dragon flying phoenix dancing names on paper, seemed somewhat hesitant to speak. When I went over, she clutched that paper very tight in hand, seemed not very willing let me sign. My curiosity suddenly came up, forcefully pulled that paper over, found back of that paper actually had words. Title two words very obvious. "Resume?" I asked in surprise. Leo heard sound came over, somewhat embarrassed scratched head: "Ah, sorry girl, I thought you came for autograph. Do you still use this resume? I go to print shop at door print another one for you." Own resume treated as white paper for autograph by others, should anyone would be little dissatisfied. But that girl didn't. "No need, it's fine!" She quickly returned a sweet smile. "This was originally intended to show you guys!" "Show us?" Everyone confused. "Resume? Isn't it used to find job? I haven't touched that dirty thing for a long time." Cellist Yara faintly said a sentence. Yara once went to a big company as HR assistant during college, organizing various personnel materials till midnight every day. She said she annoyed seeing paper materials, her scores are all electronic, never print out. "I feel, using a piece of paper to summarize a person's life, this matter is very sad." Speaker is Flutist Blue. Blue born in flute family, flute sound melodious, he however always has a melancholic temperament of mourning spring and autumn, we all call him Blue. He said, eye rims somewhat red, don't know what emotion will trigger next. Pianist Finn, hurry interrupted him: "But I think quite interesting, I never signed on a resume, let me see." Finn took resume, wanted see what was written. But back everyone's thick black signatures, long penetrated writing side, couldn't see clearly what was written. Finn simply looked at everyone's signatures, he suddenly narcissistic said: "My signature really good looking, my this dot if a little bit higher would be perfect!" "Hey, kid, you secretly practiced signature recently?" "This last stroke has progress ah!" Saying, Finn and Blue started playing around. Blue heard his signature praised, mouth corner involuntarily raised, swept away gloom just now. But this seemed to stray further and further, seemed no one cared about that girl's purpose anymore. I saw her face somewhat awkward, weakly asked a sentence. "Classmate, you bring resume, want do what?" See finally someone asked to her heart, her face moved. But what she said next, shattered me. She pointed at me and said: "I want to join everyone, replace her!" Chapter 2 Everyone shocked, only heard her confidently introduce: "Hello brothers and sisters, I am Bella, a student graduated from Juilliard this year." Her tone sincere, like accepting an important interview. "I was exceptionally admitted in sophomore year of high school, resume is full of my past domestic and foreign award experiences." "I always wanted to find high level musicians to form a group. I saw your videos online, very appreciative. Everyone in your group is super excellent," "Except her!" She suddenly changed tone, pointed at me. That indignant look scared me a shiver. That uncomfortable feeling on stage just now appeared again. Turns out, just now was her staring at me all time. Bella continued saying: "I observed her for a long time, her rhythm is chaotic, all wrong beats." "Whole night performance, her maracas never completely kept up with an eight-beat." "You all perform seriously, only she alone always fishing in troubled waters!" Bella spoke more and more indignant, as if I ruined the sacred and beautiful orchestra in her mind, next second would swallow me. These words made me dumbfounded, head involuntarily shrank back. I couldn't refute her. Because, she said all right. I indeed don't understand beats. Besides this, I am also tone-deaf, limbs uncoordinated. I shrank head, hid behind. Afraid she observe me again, derive any new conclusion. Bella saw my reaction, momentum more vigorous. "Brothers and sisters, you are now a very potential and popular orchestra, shouldn't have such person exist!" "For the future of this group, should replace her early!" Finn frowned. "Tina has no rhythm, is this a big problem?" Hearing this sentence, Bella's eyes widened. She dared not believe what she heard. This is a symphony orchestra, no rhythm, isn't it a big problem? Finn continued saying: "We knew this long ago, didn't we perform all along?" Yara, Blue and Leo all nodded. Indeed, they all knew. My maracas were even picked by them for me. When I just joined the group, knew nothing about instruments. Orchestra leader said, it's okay, others are versatile, I can learn from them. I first went to find Yara. Yara is cellist in group, her violin, viola, cello, double bass all level ten maxed out, string instruments like toys in her palm. She gave me a three-quarter violin, said my hands small, practice small one first. Result my fingers too rough, every note couldn't press in place, either more half grid, or less half grid, finally directly broke the string. Yara somewhat heartached touched her violin, let me find Finn. Finn started practicing piano at three, practiced thousands of piano pieces, can play scores backwards fluently. Piano every key is fixed, should be no off-key problem. If I learned piano, can also do four-hand duet with Finn, increase orchestra highlight. Finn excitedly taught me piano knowledge, I practiced forgetting sleep and food. But I found my limbs not quite coordinated. I can only move one hand. If right hand played, left hand can't play. If left hand played, right hand don't know how to press. Finally, pedal stepped deformed by me, white keys ground into black keys by me, I also couldn't complete a piece. "You probably are a piano succubus." Finn helplessly shook head. "How about, you try flute?" Hearing I go learn flute, Blue actually not melancholic anymore. His eyes lit up light. Turns out he born in flute family, dad mom grandpa grandma aunt uncle all practice flute, he also can't escape fate of playing flute. If I can learn his flute, then he can have excuse learn other instruments, not be flutist. I holding flute, heart happy. Flute indeed easy to start. It keys fixed, size just right, and only need right hand press, left hand hold still is fine. But playing flute needs long breath. I afraid my breath not enough, disappoint Blue. So, I practice holding breath. Before playing, I specially held a big breath. I blew hard. Result flute directly flew out of hand, straight flew towards Blue's forehead. Only heard "Bang" sound, Blue fell. When he got up, forehead added a striking big bump. He pain covered face crying. "My dad always said listen to old man words, otherwise no good end. I didn't expect, my end of not playing flute, actually would be like this..." After that he said nothing dare teach me anymore. Just silently practiced flute aside, melancholic temperament seemed stronger. I inner heart apologetic. Finally, hope placed on conductor Leo. Chapter 3 Leo is our group Big Brother, oldest age, most senior qualification. Leo delicate gentle, because daughter likes grab his hair sleep, he kept long hair. He very devoted when conducting, long hair flinging back forth very eye-catching. Meanwhile, he is also a person very like challenge secularity. He liked various extreme sports when young, often have various new ideas about orchestra performance. When he knew this group has three geniuses, very excited. And when he learned me in orchestra know nothing, even more excited extremely. He in industry decades, never met such unique orchestra combination, more aroused his challenge desire. He dug from orchestra dusty warehouse for long time, dug out a tuning fork and maracas, threw to me. "These two you definitely can!" I took over. Tuning fork cold, knock then ring. Maracas heavy, shake then have sandy sound. I heart wild joy, indeed these two instruments good, don't need use brain much, still Leo knows pick! I weighed left right, chose maracas. Just... "Tina rhythm still wrong, will you be affected?" Leo asked other three musicians opinion. Yara: "I have rhythm in heart." Finn: "I recite scores backward." Blue: "Don't ask me, in sorrow, no opinion." Leo smiled look me: "That fine, Tina you pay attention then, maracas sound smaller, don't disturb them is fine." I joyfully nodded. From then, I finally possessed my exclusive instrument——a maraca. After that every performance, orchestra only bring three mics, give violin, piano and flute each one, my maraca didn't want. Like this, even I shake desperately, won't emit very big sound. And they are a group of music masters, completely not affected by me. Like this, I peace mind be a member of orchestra, go on stage perform, sit enjoy their halo. When Bella hit the nail on the head pointed out my problem, everyone reaction cold. Obviously, she didn't expect would be like this. She not reconciled. "Brothers and sisters, you are all so powerful, clearly deserve better musicians." "My rhythm sense and pitch are both good, all A during study. I not only can shake maracas, I also can play dozen instruments, if I can stand in her position, I definitely can bring more highlights to group in future." "Oh, indeed very powerful." Yara pushed glasses, faintly said. Then she changed tone. "But what relation with me?" "My hair appointment time up, leave first." Finished, her face no expression, carried packed cello case left. Yara always is a cool Sassy Sister, she said she never care about things within 2 hours and 3 kilometers. Yara famous saying: "Car lights only need 50 meters can drive whole journey, worry so many some none things for what." Bella face awkward, she quickly adjusted her mood. Then looked at Blue. "Flutist brother, I also can play Guzheng and Bamboo Flute, if I enter orchestra, we can play ancient style music together." Blue still looking at direction Yara left, eyes dazed: "Every performance end, is a parting. This is too sad." He turned back, covered face. Bella at a loss, turned to Finn again. Finn just now performed very enthusiastic to audience. He looks extroverted personality, best to talk, maybe hope on him. Finn sincerely looked at Bella: "Little girl, you so powerful, you can form orchestra yourself ah, why must replace Tina?" Bella sighed. "I also want find others form orchestra, but geniuses like you can be met not sought." "I see someone empty occupying position, heart more unwilling." "I saw news say, you going to participate an international orchestra award. That award will score every musician, then take average. If she is there, only will drag your hind leg!" "I really can't bear you buried. I myself not bad, if I replace her, I definitely can help you get big award!" "Pianist brother, can you give me this chance?" Finn face difficult. He lowered head pressed alarm, pretended answer phone went out. Now only Leo hasn't spoken. Leo is our Big Brother, many things in group he decide. Like me shaking maracas initially also his idea. If can get Leo consent, Bella high probability can wish fulfilled. She expectantly looked at Leo. Only heard Leo said: "Little girl, you still too young." "You replace any of us okay, just she no." Bella about to collapse. "Why is this?" "You clearly know she knows nothing, why still protect her?" Leo paused, thoughtful said: "If she gone, then our group also gone."
