April is more than your lies

"Shingo, you..."

"An Xin Xin Xin, I just stayed with Hesha in her music room yesterday afternoon, and I also played the piano for a long time."

Shenwu waved his hand nonchalantly, and there was even a bit of complacency in his smile.

"This morning, I was called to have a talk by the class teacher. I thought I would be scolded, but it turned out to be surprisingly easy to talk to... So, at least from now on, I should only have to attend half-day classes a few days a week."

"You said you wanted to give Kazusa tutoring... Don't be unable to understand the knowledge yourself by then. If that's true, Shingo... your legend will be shattered!"

For a few seconds, Kousei missed his other friends quite a bit. At least...with them around, he didn't have to worry as much as he did now.

And this state will probably last for a long time, right?

The best case scenario is that Shingo and Hesha understand the "confession" that is not hidden at all in each other's words, and then leave him aside.

But really, it's not bad - at least it's not as bad as the fact that they still hang out in front of him all day long after being together.

If it were them, they would inevitably become sad occasionally, right?

"Legend? There is no such thing in this school now."

Shenwu smiled and didn't say anything in reply - he didn't pay attention to the ridicule. Just like Kousei said, if it wasn't something important, he wouldn't waste any time talking.

"As for the future, who knows?"

Volume 20: Chapter 20 Chapter [-] Finding a Way to Someone

Shingo, Kazusa, and Kousei, when these three people get together, the conversation inevitably turns to the piano, but when Shingo opens his mouth, the things they talk about are always a little strange.

"Kongsheng, when will there be a competition soon? Piano or any other musical instrument will do."

Shenwu would ask this, which at least proves that he is interested in it.

He simply wants to go and have a look, or he signs up and is absent out of excitement. Such situations account for the majority. If his interest lasts until the start of the game, then... no matter what level of competition it is, the champion will definitely be is his.

Kousei was already used to this, so when asked, he didn't have much thought.

"In the national competition in the summer, there are all the instruments you can play. It depends on which one you want to participate in."

Kousei pushed up his glasses.

"If it's the piano, Shingo... I won't lose to you this time."

"Since we met, when did you not say that? But when did you win?"

Most people will definitely not be able to stand this guy's character. Kousei's character may seem weak, but in fact he has a resolute and calm side. If the sharpness in his eyes were not suppressed by the black-rimmed glasses, the two boys would definitely be at odds with each other at this moment. situation.

wrong……

Shenwu will not go toe-to-toe with anyone. When it comes to "win or lose", the arrogance in his heart makes him always look down on his opponents.

"Cello, violin, piano... these are the three instruments I play well. Speaking of which, I have never had the experience of winning all the first prizes in the same year!"

"But competing in so many games at once...it always gets tiring...and boring, like eating the same food three times a day."

"Kongsheng, can he do it?"

"Let's see how much he thinks..."

The motivation brought by "wanting" on a whim and "wanting" with all your strength are completely different concepts. Kousei has never seen Shingo in the latter state. Perhaps there is no such state of "" in this world. Shingo Hoshino".

He had talent, and it's not impossible that he lost something.

"Piano, I won't give up."

After confirming this, Hesha did not retreat.

Although she doesn't care about the title of "genius", she is also proud enough to be self-sustaining. If she had given up before everything was settled, she would not be on the road to music today.

"There are still three months until summer, let's compare, Shingo."

"OK……"

The challenge came from Hesha, but Shenwu deserved his lack of interest. If Hesha had given him half of the pudding yesterday, his mood swings would have been stronger than now.

It is not impossible to regret something decided today, and it is not impossible to regret it tomorrow - naturally, whether it is three months or three years later, it is an unreachable future for him.

"Hesha, please remember to remind me more, otherwise I might forget."

"You can set your own alarm clock, wasn't that what you did yesterday?"

"But...even if there was an alarm clock yesterday, I didn't go to bed early. It was all because of Hesha."

So, genius is a nasty thing.

Hesha's eyes were piercing, but they couldn't penetrate Shingo's frivolous attitude.

"You two, yesterday..."

I always feel like I know something quite remarkable!But everyone has actually grown up...

Looking back and forth on the faces of Hesa ​​and Shingo, Kousei didn't know if he was thinking too much.

"Hesha lives next door to my house, but I didn't know until yesterday that this was probably a prank by Aunt Yaozi and my father..."

As a member of the same sex, Shingo understood the subtleties in Kousei's words. He did not intend to explain the confusion to Hesha who was kept in the dark, and his explanation to Kousei was not too in-depth.

"Kongsheng, do you want to play together this afternoon?"

"No, I have to practice the piano."

Only Hesa ​​has the privilege of having an exclusive music room in school, so Kousei's practice time is always after class, but even so, he can guarantee at least six to seven hours of practice time a day.

For everyone who aspires to become a musician, before this dream is given up, playing after school will always be a luxury. This is probably not the case for Shingo, but he does not have such lofty ideals.

"It's like this again..."

Shingo sighed.

"Watch your eyes."

"It's okay, I'm used to it."

It's nothing more than a new pair of glasses.

Kousei tried to take off his glasses. The world became blurry with his movements, and even the faces of Kazuya and Shingo were covered with a veil.

"If I don't practice piano for a day, I won't be able to adapt to it. After all, I don't have your talent. If I don't work harder, I won't even be able to find you anywhere."

"Obviously I'm here and haven't gone anywhere else... To be honest, I've never understood this statement. I'm chasing, I can't see my back and so on..."

Shenwu is not without his confusion, but his thinking is always different from others.

"It's really obvious whether you play the piano well or not, but... isn't the opponent to be compared with there? Wouldn't it be nice to be able to detect the difference and practice more? You can't see anything... …There’s no comparison.”

"That's because, Shingo... you are always the one in front."

Kousei did not accept Shingo's statement. They were good friends, but they never understood each other on certain concepts.

“And you’re always looking back, like a rabbit running ahead.”

"But the hare and the tortoise are walking the same path."

Shingo answered without thinking.

"As long as the tortoise keeps moving forward, it will definitely reach the place where the hare has been... Also, if we must say that improving music is a path, then... this is not a race against other people, It’s about traveling further on your own path.”

"Just get stronger, that's all."

The speaker was Kazusa.Before that, she had remained silent.

Now it seems that she was not unable to keep up with the conversation because of the language barrier. This girl... also had her own thoughts in her heart.

"I identify with Hesha more than you."

Shingo said.

"You are worried, just because you are not strong enough... If you want to find me, shouldn't the best way be... to let me be the one to pursue you?"

"Of course, that can't be it."

Before Shenwu said it, this sentence had already been silently recited in Gongsheng's heart.

Hoshino Shingo will not chase anyone, this is due to his pride.

Volume 21: Chapter 21 Chapter [-] Requests that are difficult for others to make

There was nothing unpleasant about the chat after lunch. Since they could become friends, it was impossible for Kousei and Shingo to hold grudges over such a trivial matter.

On the contrary, Shenwu had to go home alone after school, which made Shenwu feel a little depressed.

Kousei won’t accompany him, and Hesha also wants to practice the piano...

It's okay to go to the First Music Room, but Kazusa will inevitably be disturbed then...

Shingo didn't think about why he had such strange concerns, so he decided that he would have to wait until dinner today before seeing Kazusa again.

As a result, the afternoon class period, which was not long, suddenly became endless.

"Hesha, are you still practicing the piano?"

After editing such an email on his phone and sending it out, Shenwu passed the time in a way that he thought was less intrusive.

He was willing to spend a few minutes, or ten minutes, waiting for a reply, which would at least be less torture than waiting for dinner in several hours.

And Hesha's reply was much faster than he expected.

"come here."

The reply email was so short that it reminded people of Kazusa's tone. Shingo smiled and shook his head, not forgetting to correct Kazusa's wrong grammar in his mind.

As for going to the First Music Room…

"Let's wait until this class is over. I can't skip class now."

"it is good."

"How long?"

"Two ten minutes."

"I'm waiting for you."

As the emails went back and forth, the corners of Shingo's mouth slightly raised as his thoughts gradually converged. Since he decided to skip class next, then... let's listen to the rest of this class carefully.

This is quite strange logic, but it is not surprising that it would appear in the unusual brain of a genius.

……

"You came here just...to read a book?"

Shingo would come, but Kazusa didn't expect that he would bring textbooks, paper and pen.

In her original plan, she wanted to try yesterday's ensemble again. This time... even if she couldn't find the treasure in the "deep sea", she should be able to dive deeper than before.

It's just that people's wishes always occupy the majority of life.

"After all, studying is also a very important thing. I still want to get first in my grade."

Shenwu said it lightly.

"Besides, Hesha...don't you think it's interesting to have good grades even though you don't really attend class?"

"You don't go to class, but it doesn't mean you don't study."

Kazusa retorted.

"So, it's just pretending."

"Yes Yes Yes……"

Just pretending...

After thinking about it carefully, this word is indeed used appropriately. Maybe Hesha also has considerable language talent.

"But I do have to read. At least I have to make up for the lessons I missed yesterday, and this afternoon too... Maybe my grades will improve a bit if I can listen to you playing the piano."

"Ridiculous."

Kazusa's fingertips brushed against the keys, and she used this movement to paint the notes into white birds disturbed by the breeze.

"Since you don't plan to practice the piano, just stay here quietly."

"Ah."
