April is more than your lies

"I told you to be quiet."

This time, Shenwu didn't utter a single syllable. After a brief nod, he turned his attention to the learning materials in front of him.

Just from Hesha's performance, he seemed to hear some small emotions, like a ball of ice cream that was thrown into the dinner plate in a somewhat rough way, sweet but a little irritable.

Raising her head again, her sight was on Hesha, who had already sunk into the performance. The beautiful and awe-inspiring girl's eyes were lowered, like a famous sword being sheathed.

"Maybe you're having a tantrum again?"

Shenwu's thoughts were accompanied by memories.

It is not that Hesha has never lost her temper before, but that well-behaved girl will not vent her emotions in such a fierce way - the soft little Hesha will have more elastic "texture" because of this, which will make people want to Need to pinch her again.

Thinking of this, he suddenly realized that the once normal way of getting close has never been achieved. Instead, he was pinched hard for a while. The so-called impermanence of things in the world is probably like this, right?

……

On Hesha's side, Shenwu didn't expect that he would actually read the book all afternoon.

After every piece of music she played, she would pause for a few seconds, but the ignorant bastard not far away never seized the opportunity - this was completely different from what Touma Yaoko said.

It wasn't until she was startled awake by a certain overly heavy syllable that she played that she suddenly came back to her senses, and then her mind went blank.

"What's wrong?"

Shenwu was also disturbed. It was simple and easy for him to distinguish the error or omission of a note in a piece of music, especially when the mind was highly concentrated. Any fallacy would be amplified due to the discomfort it caused. times.

"..."

Hesha gave Shingo an angry look and said nothing.

"Take a break."

Shingo stood up and stretched himself comfortably, the fatigue accumulated from studying was swept away.

"It should be past school time now, let's go home too? Let's grab some snacks on the way back... That way, you'll feel better."

Of course, he will not forget the little emotion from Hesha that he just noticed. Judging from the reaction just now, the girl in front of him still hasn't adjusted his mood well.

The accent just now was no different from hitting the keys with his fist, so Shingo could only hope that Kazusa's beloved sweets could help at this time.

"I'm not in a bad mood."

Since you know, why can you act so relaxed?

Seeing Shingo tidying up his things, Hesha's mood sank in a rather restless way, but on the surface, she was still the same arrogant and cold girl.

"But you'd also like some snacks, right?"

"All right……"

Shingo approached with a smile. He stood next to Hesha and leaned down, pressing the keys with his fingers.Scattered notes shone like morning dew.

It was the song that Hesa ​​had smashed to pieces just now, and now he was putting it back together bit by bit. This was an apology - Hesa ​​thought it was, and reluctantly accepted it, along with the next snack.

"and also……"

"Besides snacks, is there anything else you want to eat?"

"..."

Hesha shook her head.

"You talked for an hour more than you did last night. You have already spent enough time reading today, so...you have to play the piano with me tonight."

"Ah."

This was not something that could not be agreed to, and Shenwu agreed without hesitation.

"But I also agreed that I have to go to bed early today. To be honest, I almost couldn't get up this morning."

"Know it……"

It’s such a demanding request again, but ah... I’ll just agree to it, since you are also a lazy guy anyway...

Kazusa's mood improved.

Volume 22: Chapter 22 Chapter [-] People mentioned by chance

Kazusa likes sweets, but she has a preference for pudding above all else. "Trying some other types of desserts" is not a good suggestion for her.

At least she doesn't look as happy as usual now. It seems that the same level of sugar intake obviously fails to bring the pleasure that it should have.

As for Shenwu, dim sum is not in his daily diet because he doesn’t like it that much.

Therefore, he attributed the inability to have endless conversations with Hesha to these trivial reasons as he imagined.

The only good news is that even though neither of them had any intention of saying anything, the atmosphere was pretty good - there was no discomfort, but that seemed to be it.

Watching the desserts ordered by Hesha being served one by one, and then eaten by her one by one, this little thing unknowingly turned into an interesting thing in the current atmosphere.

Until Kazusa put down the small spoon in her hand when only half of the last matcha-flavored mousse was left, Shingo knew that his comfortable daze time needed to come to an end.

"Don't you like it here? You haven't eaten much of the pudding."

Kazusa asked.

"The taste is actually pretty good."

"I also think the dim sum here tastes good, but I can't say I like it, and certainly I can't say I hate it."

Shingo's answer sounded a bit ambiguous.

"But, Kazusa, you want to have some snacks, right? So I thought that if you need to take a rest, coming here might be a good choice."

"I don't understand you."

Kazusa frowned.

"Why don't you choose a store you like? That way you can be happier. I see that you're not in a good mood right now."

"This is where I come most often..."

Shenwu didn't care how much confusion his words would cause. He spoke slowly, and it seemed that the thoughts in his mind were not moving very fast.

The most important thing is that now he has the time to explain everything clearly.

"And, I'm quite happy now."

Because you are right in front of me and you look unhappy, just because I don’t know and I am troubled by not knowing what to say to you.

Thinking of this, he smiled and shook his head, perhaps laughing at his worries about gains and losses.

"How was school today? Anything interesting happened in the morning?"

"No."

Hesha shook her head.

"There are some annoying guys who are minding their own business and come up to talk to me."

"It's normal for someone to talk to Kazusa."

Shingo smiled.

He didn't think that there would be anyone of his age who was more dazzlingly beautiful than Hesha. Even if she just kept a cold face and remained silent, it would be enough to catch most people's attention.

"So, how did you answer?"

"Tell him to leave me alone."

Sure enough, it's a man...

Shenwu doesn't think there is anything wrong with the word "men" at all. People who are attracted to beautiful girls are of course "men", including himself, and he is no exception.

As for Hesha, it seemed that she thought of something else because of this unpleasant experience.

"What about you?"

"I?"

"The girl you're talking to..."

Hesha's hand that picked up the dessert spoon tightened slightly, and she cut off a large piece of the soft mousse.

"Don't you understand what I'm saying? If that's the case, then put away your usual attitude of knowing everything."

"Yes, but there's just one...the one sitting at the table in front of me is a pretty girl, but a little hard to describe."

Shenwu wanted to find one or two words to describe Xue Cai, but in the end he could only be troubled by his lack of vocabulary.

"But...she must have a bad impression of me, because at the beginning, she said that I was often distracted, and I skipped classes yesterday afternoon and today. She seems to be the kind of good student .”

"Hate you? Is this just your own feeling?"

I don’t know why, this guy is indeed bad enough, but I just don’t hate him... Others will feel the same as me, right?Just like Kousei and the others.

Hesha's thinking is destined to be fruitless, because the criteria she uses as a comparison are enough to affect her judgment.

"Also, there is only one...do you want more?"

"That's not..."

Shingo shook his head.

Speaking of Xuecai, he actually had a pretty good impression of that girl.He didn't think he was friendly, but the other party was always polite, which was really not something that could make people feel bad.

"However, it does get a little boring when you are new to a class... Apart from playing the piano these two days, I don't seem to have anything else to do."

"Aren't you still studying? I see you enjoy listening to it."

Hesha still lacks awareness of the importance of learning, otherwise she would not have used the word "enjoy it" incorrectly here.

"Perhaps you could read a little more?"

"Please forgive me..."

It should, isn't it?

Kazusa just can't speak clearly, and she's not an idiot...

Shenwu suddenly realized this, that is, Hesha's expressionless face really showed no emotion, which was why he misjudged it. After realizing that he was being teased again, he suddenly felt that he needed some extra sugar. Ingestion.

"Studying is a very important thing, but it doesn't make people enjoy it at all... That's not right. There must be such people, but they are definitely not me."

"For example, the girl you talked to?"

Hesha raised her eyebrows. Shingo didn't expect that she could actually soften her expression with this expression. Maybe it was because she was smiling now?

"The kind of good students you mentioned... I remember seeing a few of them abroad."

"Ogiso, she probably doesn't know how to..."

Shenwu didn't think there was anything wrong with making arrogant conclusions when talking about someone he didn't know well.

In ordinary chatting, a certain insignificant topic is passed by. What is important is the person you are chatting with and the time you spend with each other, just like they are now.

People always need to have some time to waste time with someone on unimportant things. Maybe there is no special feeling at the time, but in a casual memory, the sunshine at that time will definitely be more magnificent than poetry.

"She should be quite lively...she seems to be."

"Ogiso?"

This last name sounds a bit difficult to pronounce for Hesha. For this reason, it will take a month or two for her memory of this girl she has never met to fade away.

"Ogiso Yukina, that girl's name."

Shenwu explained casually.

"Now in the class, she is the only one I have talked to..."

Volume 23: Chapter 23 Chapter [-] Doghouse

Spending more than six hours on music for two consecutive days is something that has never happened before in Shenwu's memory - he just had dinner today, but he feels that this is absolutely inevitable .

In this way, he can do other things with confidence in the next week!

It would be nice to go to the dojo tomorrow?If that doesn't work, can you still exercise at home?

While thinking this, he touched his belly. Because there was no sofa in the hall, he threw himself on the oversized... cushion on the floor after eating.

"Shingo, what is this?"
