April is more than your lies

Hesha nodded, but her expression changed between cloudy and bright several times in this second.

Finally, she decided to try and say something more.

"That woman prepared it for me."

"The music room..."

This is only the first day of school, but he can be treated like this. Shingo knows Yaozi's love for Hesha, but he still can't help but admire it.

But he wasn't envious, because he was actually... almost the same.

"Aren't you coming?"

"Of course I'm going!"

It's just that he would be urged after a second's delay, and Shenwu always habitually thinks about things that are not enough. His talent never lacks room for him, but this bad habit has also been developed.

"Hesha, let's... skip class this afternoon!"

In fact, there is not much difference between taking classes and playing the piano, but if I had to choose one, Shingo would definitely choose the latter - if "with Kazusa" is added, then it must be playing the piano.

"Skipping class?"

Kazusa asked rhetorically.

Shingo wondered if this word might exceed her Japanese vocabulary.

"I originally planned to stay there this afternoon...you are the only one who wants to skip class."

"..."

Caught off guard, he was actually teased by Hesha.This trivial bit of "interesting" is the color that makes the world come alive.

If you add that you will definitely not be able to escape being scolded by the teacher afterwards, then it will be twice as interesting!

Looking forward to a certain period of time like now, my heartbeat can't help but speed up. This is something I haven't experienced in a long time!

Shingo's eyes were shining, he was such a willful and uncontrollable guy.

Volume 7: Chapter 7 His Performance

Logically speaking, a freshman entering high school cannot have the exclusive privilege of having a music room, but if it is "that woman" that Kazusa mentioned, Shingo feels that... she would take care of her daughter to this extent. Not surprisingly.

Therefore, when he learned this, he was already mentally prepared - no matter how luxurious the music room was, it was not an exaggeration.

In fact, it was just as he imagined.

"what are you doing?"

After her fingertips brushed against the black and white keys, Hesha and the piano in front of her were already in one mind, but... the noise in her ears made her mood extremely bad.

The clear music played by the violin is still flying, and then the deep sigh of the cello slowly disperses.

When she met Shingo's eyes, she received a smile that made her feel better, and... quite confused.

"Audio test."

Shenwu, who was sitting on the piano bench, slightly extended his hand to indicate to her.

If this was a dance party, then... in the next few minutes, they would dance to the beat of the music, but now, it was their music that they were going to dance to.

"..."

If that's the case, then... let's dance.

After a brief nod, Hesha said nothing. After accepting the invitation as a matter of course, any words were redundant.

Shingo will not force anyone to keep up with his pace, but...it is the most basic thing to want to touch each other's hearts.

This was their first time playing together, and it happened without any warning.

But it doesn't matter, you can...can do it, right?

After taking a deep breath, Hesha pressed the keys.

……

This is... Shingo?

Because of thousands of practices, the music Hesha played was not messed up. She raised her head and once again confirmed the person sitting not far from her.

Hoshino Shingo, this... "man" was more dazzling than the sun in her memory.

However, when she closed her eyes, she seemed to be able to see that between the seven-color notes, there was a gentle and mellow background. When she explored the deep sea, such colors were as far as the high beam could reach.

There are endless secrets and unimaginable beauty hidden there, quietly waiting for someone to step into it one day. Maybe no one will ever come, but...it doesn't matter, he is there.

This is Shenwu's performance, not because of the timbre of the cello, but... what he wants to express, or... this is the emotion he expresses from his heart at this time.

Is Hoshino Shingo a gentle and then deep person?Shouldn't he use his talents to the best of his ability to show his pride to the whole world?

How could this be... it's him? ?

But music cannot fool people, not in any way.

Therefore, Hesha couldn't help but want to "move forward", her expectations for the unknown, and her spontaneous desire for a certain "beauty" made her sink into the world alone without any willpower. Sea.

At this time, Hesha forgot that the "sea" is actually an endless "abyss" - to pursue that mysterious beauty, what is needed is not moving forward, but something else.

……

The song is over.

The second song is over.

The third song is over.

……

"..."

When she was about to drown, Hesha instinctively withdrew her mind. Her "exploration" stopped there, and the notes flowing from her fingertips shattered into spots of light.

This also means that she returned without success.

"What's wrong, Kazusa?"

Shingo opened his eyes, and the smile he gave to Hesha was the rising sun seen when divers broke out of the water. At this time, there was no sound of rising and falling tides around them. Shingo's words fell, making the atmosphere quiet and lonely.

"..."

Only then did Hesha notice that her fingers were trembling.She looked at the watch on her wrist, and was startled by this small gesture that was meant to calm her mood.

Already...three hours have passed.

No doubt she played the piano for three hours, with Shingo accompanying her the entire time—a level of practice that should have been commonplace for anyone aiming to achieve anything in music.

But ah...

Hesha's hands were indeed trembling, and even... the beat of her heart was trembling.

The feeling of drowning in the abyss still lingers in her heart at this moment, as if...she really sank into the abyss - this is not an exercise, but..." ensemble".

Obviously that feeling is very gentle...

"Take a break, Kazusa."

Shingo's smile was like sunshine, and it was the only magic weapon to dispel the darkness at this time. Along with it, there was also the handkerchief he handed over.

"Um……"

It’s hard for others to keep up with my pace...

That's what Shenwu said at the time, and I... was the one who couldn't keep up, right?

Seeing Shen Wu's back when he turned around, Kazusa couldn't help but be fascinated. When the handkerchief was wiped on her cheek, it brought a moist and gentle touch, which also prevented her from missing Shen Wu's sight when Shen Wu turned around. focus.

"Violin...?"

On the other side, Shengo saluted her in an exaggerated and frivolous way. On the streets of Vienna, Hesha had seen such wandering musicians. They didn't care how big their audience was, and would only give full play to their talents and talents.

But now, the audience... is only you, right? ?

Before Shenwu could straighten up, a smile flashed at the corner of Hesha's mouth.

only……

I don't know why, but I always feel... Shenwu is a little sad.

Music is something that can convey emotions - of course, not everyone can do it, and not everyone can understand it.

The vague thoughts in her heart were drowned by the soothing notes that contained excitement, and Hesha's thinking became confused.

It's like the breeze blowing the hair, but with a lingering laziness. It seems that there is a timid elf hidden in the wind - a girl who is obsessed with encounters, but can only approach in a cautious way...

Also...

That sadness that is incomprehensible...

Looking around, Hesha seemed to be standing in a field of flowers. As far as the eye could see, there was an endless ocean of seven colors. The emotions she felt in her heart had no basis at all...

"Shen Wu..."

She called Shen Wu's name because... there was no such person in the sea of ​​flowers.

He should... be here too, right?

Kazusa was confused.

She subconsciously raised her hand, and her fingertips felt the familiar touch of the keys, but in the end...she didn't press them - Shenwu said to let her take a rest.

This is not the whole reason, because...the fear and hesitation in the heart cannot be covered up with self-deception lies.

Volume 8: Chapter 8 Chapter [-] is not a coincidence

"Shen Wu..."

"Ok?"

"Didn't I say before that I wanted to go to your house?"

"Yes what's the matter?"

In fact, Shenwu didn't quite remember whether he had agreed to take Hesha to his home when they left together after school, but since Hesha said yes, then just treat it as yes.

Along the way, Hesha didn't talk much, and he didn't deliberately look for topics, but the two of them chatted all the way - when passing by a convenience store, they even bought a bag of desserts. Most of them are pudding.

Therefore, when the purpose of the two people's trip was mentioned, Shenwu was still confused. He turned back to look at Hesha, who had already fallen one step behind him, and raised his eyebrows habitually.

"But……"

Hesha raised her hand and pointed to the door number of the villa beside her.

Looking along his fingertips, Shingo couldn't help but laugh - Touma, the owner referred to by this surname is undoubtedly another person, but this is indeed Kazusa's home.

"Why did you come to my house?"

"Then please Kazusa... take a few more steps."

The smile on Shingo's face was gentle, but his tone contained a mischievous frivolity. He was used to this, so even if he didn't mean to, these details would still be revealed.

"To take a few more steps forward means..."

Is this... a coincidence?

If it's just between myself and Shingo, then it's a blessing... No, it should be a happy coincidence, but considering that woman...

When Hesha took a step forward, she wore the square leather shoes under her feet like black and red-soled high-heeled shoes.

Shenwu didn't know why the girl around him acted like this, but despite his doubts, he couldn't appreciate the awe-inspiring beauty in Heshamei's eyes.

"Your family...lives here?"

"Ah."

Shingo gently tapped the word "Hoshino" on the door plate with his index finger, and then looked at Kazusa again.

"If you want to say it, Hesha... you must be one of these geniuses who moved here, right?"

"Um……"

Pursing her lips, Hesha used this small action to suppress all her emotions. She was used to restraint, so it was very difficult to capture her mind!

"The house has only been decorated in the past two days. The woman never told me that you and your uncle live next door... She must have known, but she didn't tell me at all."
