 Chapter 1021 Mindless and Unhappy

 Came to the conversation room and looked at the crying Kai Zhongkuo and Umaki Nozomi who was silent and didn't know what to say. Duanmu Huai was also speechless. He is not a close brother, so he doesn't know how to talk about it. Besides, how does Duanmuhuai know what little girls of this age are thinking about... huh?

Just when Duanmu Huai scratched his head and didn't know what to say, looking at the two people in front of him, he suddenly felt that this scene seemed a bit familiar.

 I seem to have seen a similar scene somewhere... Oh, that's right!

Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai also clapped his hands inwardly.

Isn’t this the way An and Gu Leiya get along? !

Duanmuhuai was not familiar with these two girls, but An and Gu Leya were very familiar to him. Every time Gu Leya was angry with An, she would just sit there silently and not say anything, just shed tears. Then An started to panic and surrounded Gu Leiya like boyfriends who made their girlfriend angry, asking, "Why are you unhappy?" "What did I do wrong?" "I'm sorry, Gu Leiya..."

That’s right, it’s not just An and Gu Leiya. Duanmuhuai remembers seeing similar situations several times.

 Eclair, Lumiel, Agnesphia and Euphelia seem to be in this mindless and unhappy routine!

Duanmu Huai has learned from experience that generally speaking, for such a pair, one has long hair and the other has short hair. One is heartless and plays silly all day long, while the other is as boring as a gourd and barely speaks. This is all a trick, he has seen through it a long time ago!

Thinking about it this way, what evil have I done? Why do I keep encountering people like this? !

 Is it okay to be a bit normal?

But since this is the routine, Duanmuhuai also knows what to do.

As he said that, Duanmu Huai glanced at Kai Zhongkuo, who indeed trembled and lowered his head.

"Um?"

He always thought that those annoying plots in TV dramas that make you want to die are all artistic processing, but he didn't expect that someone actually does this in real life! ?

Duanmuhuai, who was standing outside and listening, was speechless. She could only say that a girl at her age is really sentimental. If it were a boy who encountered this kind of thing, he would hide away his random thoughts like this and just come to the door and say, "You don't even need to tell me whether you still treat me as a buddy." That's it. How could he be like Kai Zhongkuo? He just kept it in his heart and refused to say anything.

However, after listening to Kai Zukao's story, Usaki Nozomi said with a confused face. The reason why she didn't ask Kai Zukao to quit the club together was that she felt that Kai Zukao was very happy playing in the wind band club, and Usaki Nozomi Knowing that Kai Zhongkuo is very honest, if he asks her to quit the company together, she will definitely follow him without saying anything.

 “Yes, here is the key.”

Hearing this, Duanmu Huai finally understood what was going on between these two people.

 Duanmu Huai closed the door directly and went out, then stood at the door. Sure enough, after a while, the voices of Umaki Nozomi and Kai Zhongkuo talking quietly came from inside. Although the sound between the two was very small, like the chirping of mosquitoes, it was still ringing in Duanmu Huai's ears. Talking while talking makes no difference.

Those who are looking for life and death for such a big deal are just making chicken feathers, right?

 Kai Zukao and Usaki Nozomi are both graduates of Nan Middle School. To put it bluntly, the group of people who withdrew at the beginning were actually graduates of Nan Middle School. When they participated in the junior high school competition, they only won a silver medal. The Nan Middle School students were unwilling to accept this and decided to participate in the competition again after entering high school. This time they must win the gold medal.

"oh."

 He turned his head, looked at Usaki Nozomi and said, the latter was stunned.

In short, the misunderstanding was resolved, and the two of them hugged and cried for a while and gradually calmed down. Duanmuhuai looked at this opportunity, then stretched out his hand to knock on the door, and then the voice of Umaki Nozomi came from inside.

 But for Kai Zhongkuo, the problem is that when Usaki Nozomi took other people from Nanzhong to withdraw from the club, she was not called.

"yes."

 “I’m going out first.”

This greatly hit Kai Zhongkuo. She felt that Usaki Nozomi did not regard her as a good friend at all, and she felt as if she had been betrayed by a friend.

As expected, there must be one person in this combination who likes to keep things in his heart and can't even beat them. If you don't give them a little harsh treatment, they will beat them to death without telling them. The same is true for Gu Leiya. She just gets awkward and angry, but doesn't say why she's angry. He has to do everything in his power to make her unbearable before she speaks...

 Duanmu Huai reached out and took the key handed over by Huang Qian Kumiko. The latter looked at Duanmu Huai, hesitated for a moment and then asked.

But Usaki Nozomi felt that Kai Zukao, who was playing so happily, should not be allowed to leave the wind band club, so she did not call her.

 So now I’m going to be cruel. If you don’t speak, don’t go home. I’ll see if you speak or not!

 Oh my god, this is the plot of an eight o'clock TV series.

 Kaizhong Kuo and Usaki Nozomi are also from Nanzhong, and they are still good friends. Kai Zhongkuo is introverted by nature and has only one friend, Usaki Nozomi. Usaki Nozomi is like the leader of the club, very popular and has many friends. So for Kai Zhongkuo, she only had Nozomi Usaki as her friend. But for Usaki Nozomi, Kai Zukao is just one of her many friends...

Hearing this, Duanmu Huai was speechless for a while. He thought before that his prestige in the school was high enough, and he and others had already been in the same group...

"teacher?"

　　Hey, women... are really troublesome.

Looking at Kai Zhongkuo and Umaki Nozomi who were holding hands and returning home as close as sisters after washing their faces, Duanmu Huai rolled his eyes, shook his head, and then turned around and walked towards the classroom. However, at this moment, he saw Kumiko Huangzen and Reina Kosaka walking over from the other side of the corridor.

 “Please come in.”

 “Yo, done?”

 So these little girls are really difficult to deal with. Hey... women are really troublesome.

“Well, the classroom door is locked?”

How should I put it? I’m quite speechless.

"No thanks. Now that it's done, let's go back. We have to train tomorrow."

"There must be something going on between you two, or you think it's okay, but there must be something going on with her. So you two just have a good chat inside, and it'll be fine if you let the conversation go. I'll be watching outside, remember, if you If you don’t explain it clearly, you won’t be able to leave this door today!”

 “Yes, thank you teacher...”

No wonder they came back so readily as soon as I told them about it this time.

"teacher?"

Duanmuhuai opened the door and saw the two hugging each other. Kai Zhongkuo's eyes were red, and Umaki Nozomi was not much better - forget it, Duanmuhuai didn't bother to care about their own problems. .

 “Ah, hello, teacher.”

However, Kai Zhongkuo said that it was only because Usaki Nozomi was in the wind band club that she could play so happily. If she was gone, she would not be happy either...

 That’s why they worked so hard after entering high school, but because they conflicted with the advisor’s policy, they eventually quit the company in anger.

 "That...Kaizuka-senpai and Umatsuki-senpai..."

“Oh, these two are fine. It’s just a bit of a misunderstanding. Just untie them. You can see them wearing a pair of pants tomorrow.”

 “Huh…that’s it…”

Hearing Duanmuhuai’s answer, Huang Qian Kumiko also breathed a sigh of relief. Duanmuhuai looked at Kumiko Huangzen, and then at Rina Kosaka who was silent next to her.

 One has short hair and one has long hair. One is silly and cheerful all day long, the other is taciturn...

“...You are also mindless and unhappy?”

"Why?"

 “Forget it, it’s nothing, go home early.”

Duanmu Huai waved his hand. He could tell that there were not many normal couples in this wind band club.

I can only say that you guys really know how to play music.

 The next day, everyone was shocked when they saw Kai Zhongkuo and Usaki Nozomi coming to school happily. But I have to say that although this sudden incident was a bit strange, it did have a certain effect on relaxing the atmosphere in the wind band club. Of course, the quitters who finally got the chance to come back would not miss this opportunity, so they naturally practiced hard. On the other side, driven by the sense of crisis, the original members of the wind band club also seized the opportunity to start training.

“I didn’t expect that Mr. Duanmu’s idea would be really useful.”

Duanmu Huai doesn’t know the internal situation of the wind band club, but fortunately he has Mary as an informant to get inside.

“Everyone is practicing very hard now, and it’s obvious that no one seems willing to give up.”

 “Oh? In your opinion, how many people will be eliminated?”

Duanmuhuai bit his hamburger and asked boredly, while Mary thought for a moment.

"In my opinion...except for beginners, if it is just new members who have entered the club and those who have been in the wind band club, some of them will be eliminated. Although those who have quit the wind band club are indeed They have a certain level of strength and skill, but the running-in period between them and the band is relatively short after all, and many people within the wind band club have also grown in strength..."

"What do you think is the main problem now?" "The main problem... is probably the trumpet solo."

"oh?"

Hearing this, Duanmuhuai looked at Mary.

 “Trumpet solo?”

“That’s right, as far as I’m concerned, the trumpet player who can play with me will most likely be chosen from Reina Kosaka and Kaori Nakasai Fururu.”

 “So what’s the problem?”

“The problem is that Reina Kosaka’s technique is better, but Kaori Nakasai is a third-year student and is very popular among the trumpet members..."

 At this point, Mary frowned.

“Kosaka Rina is the only first-year student in the trumpet group, and she is very strong. Others don’t seem to be particularly close to her..."

“Kosaka Rina... I remember she has a good relationship with that Kumiko Komae, right? I often see them in pairs.”

“Huang Qian is a member of the euphonium section...”

 “I don’t know much about musical instruments.”

Duanmu Huai rolled his eyes.

"In short, everything is based on strength. When the selection is made, we will know based on the situation."

As Duanmu Huai said, he doesn’t understand the selection thing either. After all, to be honest, in Duanmu Huai’s opinion, competitions like music and painting are too idealistic.

Of course, you said that a college student who specializes in painting will definitely draw more beautiful sketches than a kindergarten child.

Or people who are tone-deaf will definitely not sing as well as music majors. This can clearly distinguish the good from the bad.

 But if both sides make no mistakes, then how to distinguish who is stronger?

This is not like running. If you are 0.1 second faster, you are 0.1 second faster. Even if you can't see it with the human eye, you can use high-speed cameras to determine who hits the line first.

This is what is called "Wen Wu is the first, Wu Wu is the second". When it comes to things like novels, paintings, and music, evaluation is completely idealistic to a certain extent and relies entirely on feelings.

Unlike sports or martial arts, number one is number one. It’s obvious, there are clear standards, and everyone can see it.

This is also the reason why many singing competitions are controversial. It is clear that the public thinks A sings better, but the judges declare B the champion. The reason is due to professional skills... the public doesn't understand this stuff. Anyway, I am If you think A sings well, if you don’t give A an award, it’s a shady thing!

To be honest, Duanmuhuai is most annoyed by this kind of ambiguous selection with no clear rules.

 Fortunately, he didn't need to express his opinion in this selection either. He only had to stand behind and act as a teaching tool. The main scoring was done by Taki.

Of course, the final result came out, just as Mary expected, Reina Kosaka was designated as the trumpet soloist.

Originally, Duanmu Huai thought that this would be the end of it. As long as he participated in the competition and passed the test, his hard life would be over.

However………

"I can not accept!"

　　　…………”

Damn it, when Duanmuhuai walked to the door of the music classroom and heard the hysterical shouting coming from inside, he was completely speechless.

What the **** is this? A broken brass band club has more things going on every day than I do in the Inquisition!

Duanmuhuai opened the door and saw several members of the wind band club pulling and pulling. As the president, Haruka Ogasawara seemed to be trying to dissuade her, while Reina Kosaka on the other side was about to leave, but another girl was pulling her. His hands wouldn't let her go. Others around him were also whispering - of course, everyone suddenly became quiet when they saw Duanmu Huai coming in.

 “What’s the fuss about again? It’s not over, right?”

 Looking at the group of little kids in front of him, Duanmuhuai felt like his head was getting big.

  No wonder it is said that distance brings beauty. Others say that female high school students are young and beautiful. That is because you are not responsible for taking care of them in school. There are so many beauties in the Wind Band Club, and one of the reasons why Duanmu Huai has no idea until now is that these people are so tossing.

 Who are these people?

"What's going on? What are you arguing about?"

Duanmu Huai looked at Kosaka Reina and the girl holding her angrily and asked. The latter's body trembled under Duanmu Huai's glare, but she quickly gritted her teeth and expressed her opinion.

“I just can’t accept it, why is it not Yukaori-senpai, but Kosaka’s solo!?”

　　　…………”

Depend on!

Hearing the girl's question, Duanmu Huai was speechless for a while. Mary told herself just a few days ago that this was what she was worried about, and it turned out to be true?

However, Duanmu Huai had not yet spoken, but Rena Kosaka looked at the girl indifferently and said.

 “Don’t you understand the reason very well?”

"What?"

“Because I play better than Kaori-senpai, I am the soloist. Isn’t it simple?”

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　————!

I have to say that as soon as Reina Kosaka said this, everyone was speechless, but Duanmu Huai nodded. That's right, it's only right to fight back like this. If someone gives you trouble, why do you have to defend yourself? Wouldn't it be fine if you just turn it back and pull it back?

However, the girl still just blushed and stared at her.

 “Is that really all there is to it?”

 “What do you want to say?”

Hearing the girl's rhetorical question, Kosaka Rena narrowed her eyes and looked at her coldly, but the latter was not afraid at all.

 “You have known Mr. Taki for a long time, right?”

"Why?"

Hearing this, not only Kosaka Reina showed a surprised expression, but also other students were quite surprised.

"Your father is very familiar with Mr. Taki, so Mr. Taki is particularly partial to you...!"

 “Shut up! Please don’t insult the teacher!”

 However, before the girl could finish her words, she was interrupted by Rina Kosaka. In Duanmu Huai's impression, Kosaka Rina is a taciturn girl who hardly communicates with others. However, at this moment, her face was flushed, angry, looking like a combative hen, staring at the opponent fiercely.

“It doesn’t matter how you want to slander me, but please don’t speak ill of Mr. Taki. I can’t believe you insulted the consultant at such an important time before the competition! Do you really think the teacher is partial?!”

It is said that the most terrifying thing is for an honest person to get angry. When Reina Kosaka, who is normally quiet and silent, got angry, the others were too frightened to speak.

 Duanmu Huai watched for a while and then intervened.

"That's it? If you want to say that, Mary was recommended by me. What's the problem? You don't avoid relatives when you promote talents."

“But, everyone knows the relationship between Mari-san and Duanmu-san, but no one knows the relationship between Kousaka-san and Taki-san..."

At this moment, the girl also defended in a low voice, and the others beside her also nodded silently. After all, Mary was dragged into the wind band club by Duanmu Huai, so everyone knows that the relationship between Mary and Duanmu Huai is definitely unusual. And they are often together, and everyone sees it.

Although the members of the wind band club will privately speculate about the relationship between Duanmu Huai and Mary, basically no one will think that they are lovers...

By the way, they unanimously called the combination of Mary and Duanmuhuai "Beauty and the Beast".

 Fortunately, Duanmu Huai didn't know, otherwise he would have gone crazy.

Unlike Reina Kosaka and Taki, the two of them felt like ordinary students and teachers in school. They had no idea that they actually had another relationship in private, so it was no wonder that it would cause criticism.

"Why………"

Looking at the scene in front of him, Duanmu Huai was speechless.

How come a big wind band club keeps doing such boring things!
