April is more than your lies

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Indeed, it’s been a long time since I saw you...that cute little girl in my memory.

Until now, this greeting could not be conveyed, but it didn't matter, after all, they understood each other's thoughts.

"Well... long time no see..."

It is difficult to achieve a tacit understanding, but there will always be a few moments of happiness, or... as long as you are persistent, you can always find a beautiful and exquisite shell on the beach.

Letting Shingo lean on his shoulder, Kazusa's response was equally low.

"Hesha, let me play the piano for you."

It's obviously a huge amount of greed, but it's surprisingly easy to satisfy.

Shingo smiled brightly when he sat up straight. Kazusa didn't know what happened in these few seconds. When she met Shingo's eyes again, she suddenly felt... Shingo's smile seemed to be quite different from before... serious.

This time, can I listen to him play the piano properly?

She thought this as she wrapped a strand of hair hanging down on her temples around her fingertips.

But...I still want him...to look at me more.

Volume 13: Chapter 13 Rest Time and Exceptions

In this world, unsatisfactory things will never be absent. For example...the relaxing and comfortable time will always be disturbed by some inexplicable things.

The piano performance stopped abruptly due to the noise mixed in, but the latter was still noisy without any scruples. Kazusa frowned slightly, but when she realized that the sound came from Shingo, her expression did not change. Doubt [-] is relieved.

"Is it already...this time?"

"at this time?"

Shen Wu said this with a somewhat confused tone, but this did not affect him from turning off the alarm on his phone.

However, Hesha still failed to understand the meaning of this. She just suddenly felt that the continuous and sharp electronic sound just now was not without its merits. At least... it could make the house less empty as the night got darker.

"is there a problem?"

"It's already ten-thirty."

Shenwu raised the phone in his hand, and the real time on the screen jumped to 31:[-] when he made this action. It seemed that he didn't care about time that much.

"It's time to rest."

"Are you usually like this?"

Hesha is a self-disciplined person, but only in matters related to the piano. Therefore, she does not put her health first in her work and rest habits.

"In this case, the most basic practice time of the day is impossible, right?"

"If there is no alarm clock, it will often be late in the morning without paying attention, so the alarm clock will be on all the time. However, the most basic practice time... is one hour, how can you find it?"

When the two people met their eyes, they realized that...their understanding of the term "the most basic practice time" was fundamentally different.

Shingo scratched his forehead, and the smile on his face became subtle.

"Three hours?"

"Eight."

Hesha's voice was cold. She crossed her arms and stared at Shen Wu, not knowing whether she was expressing her dissatisfaction with this somewhat guarded action.

"Today I am with you, which is a special exception."

"I said... Hesha..."

Eight hours of piano practice every day... Although it is not impossible except for class time, Shenwu never thought of doing such a thing from the day he touched the piano keys.

There's no need, and...he doesn't have such persistence.

"You haven't changed at all from before, in terms of laziness."

Hesha sighed, and her expression returned to the indifference she had when she first met Shingo. This was not because she was doing this deliberately, but when she had no special expression, this is how this stern girl looked.

"I really don't know how you got to where you are now."

"I don't know either."

Shen Wu chose to laugh at this comment, which could barely be regarded as an accusation. There was even a little bit of showoff in his words.

"Besides... I can't devote all my time to the piano, violin, cello, and... karate. I also have to take care of my schoolwork. Recently, I'm planning to learn Aikido or something, right? Yes, there are games...I have a lot of things to do!"

"A half-hearted man."

"Hey……"

Shingo's smile turned into a helpless sigh. He guessed that Hesha probably learned such a sentence from Yaozi. I have to say...heredity is a very subtle thing, and Hesha inherited it from Yaozi. It seems there's more to it than just good looks and musical talent.

"It's a bit excessive to say such things..."

"You bastard..."

Kazusa smiled.

This smile was confusing, but a girl's thoughts are always unpredictable, so Shenwu appreciated this "surprise" beauty with a subtle mood.

"Anyway, you were like this before, and it's not bad that you are like this now."

"Is it……"

While his mind was wandering, there seemed to be a slender light flickering, and Shenwu's vision blurred for a moment, but after all, all he saw in front of him was the girl in front of him.

"Hesha, are you going back?"

"go back?"

Until this moment, this idea had never occurred to Hesha's mind.

Shen Wu's alarm clock was to remind him to rest, but she never thought about the conflict between Shen Wu's need to rest and her staying at his house - if it must be said, of course there is, because she should also go back Home.

"That's right..."

"I'll take it to you."

From where they are now, they can sit on the sofa of Kazusa's house next door and eat pudding together in 3 minutes. However, Shingo didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said, and Kazusa nodded without thinking.

"After you go back, you have to have a good rest, and don't think about making up for today's practice time. You just said that you are making an exception for me today. Since it is an exception, you must do what you say."

"..."

I don’t know where this guy got these fallacies from...

Her thoughts were guessed, and before Hesha had time to react, she was patted on the head by Shengo. She raised her head and wanted to glare at this misbehaving guy, but she didn't know that her eyes were already as soft as her heart. The music is flowing.

"I say I haven't changed at all, but the same goes for Kazusa... In the past, you were always thinking about making up for the missing practice time."

Nothing has changed, which is indeed a good thing...

The feeling of peace of mind is something that no matter how arrogant or arrogant a person is, he needs it.

Shingo looked into Kazusa's eyes.

“Rest well when you should rest, eat well if you are hungry, and think about relaxing at ordinary times, so as to ensure that you are always in the best condition, because if you tighten up too much and damage your body, you have to try. It’s over!”

"Absurd."

There is no doubt that this is quite normal, but since Hesha said so, Shingo will not refute - of course, he will not agree, and will only pat the head of the girl who is having a temper with him. as punishment.

As for how cute the way Hesa ​​gritted her teeth was, he would only keep this evaluation in his heart.

"By the way, Hesha...when will you get up tomorrow?"

"What do you ask for this?"

"Of course we went to school together. I actually missed it this morning. To be honest, I feel a little regretful."

"Then you can continue to regret it."

Of course Kazusa would lose her temper because she was always being slapped on the head. She took steps toward the entrance, and her raised hair seemed to freeze for a moment when she passed by Shingo.

"Didn't you say you were sending me off? Why are you still standing there?"

Volume 14: Chapter 14 Chapter [-] Maybe?

Although he didn't know what to do at Hesha's house at this time, Shenwu came anyway. He always felt that if he refused when he walked to the door, Hesha would grab him by the collar and drag him in.

Kazusa... Even though she looks cold and handsome, there is still the cute little girl from before hiding underneath...

When examining his own illusion in his mind, Shen Wu would inevitably look at the place where he was - to be honest, it was nothing special. It was no different in essence from when his villa was turned into a mess by him. As Hesha said, she had only lived here for a few days and had not had time to leave traces of her life in this house.

"Come with me."

"Where to go?"

It seemed that Hesha had no intention of pouring tea to the guests. She spoke before Shingo could quickly adjust the pillow behind him to the most comfortable position.

"Just follow me, why are you asking so many questions?"

Hesha's turn was so clean that Shenwu didn't even have time to lose focus. After following step by step, he suddenly felt that it was unnecessary to ask more questions. However, after turning two turns in the corridor, he stopped steps.

When he was there, Hesha said that her music room was in the basement...

When standing on the downward stairs, the destination of this trip is naturally self-evident.

"Follow me quickly."

When Shenwu casually pressed the switch at the top of the stairs, nine percent of the shadow tracing between Hesha's eyebrows dissipated, and the remaining bit was due to her twinkling expression.

Even though her tone just now was quite strong, this girl would still feel guilty when her little thoughts in her heart were revealed.

"Standing in a daze like this again..."

"Hesha still remembers what he promised me when he was at my house before?"

Shenwu smiled and "caught" a cute girl. Of course, it was something that made people happy enough to smile.

"After you get home, take a good shower and go to bed early. Also...if you made an exception for me before, you can't make up the practice time."

"I don't remember...I promised you anything."

Her mouth was stubborn, but Hesha's expression had betrayed her guilty conscience completely. In addition, standing under several stairs and being looked down on from a high position, her momentum was weakened by more than three points.

As a result, Shenwu was naturally not moved by her quibbles, but looked at her with interest. As a result, there was nothing she could do except grit her teeth in a tantrum.

"You guy... I just want to play the piano a little longer..."

This reason, of course, is unjustifiable. If she just wants to play the piano, she just needs to go home alone. She knows enough about Shenwu's character to guess what will happen to this bad guy here.

But...many strange things happen for no reason without "knowingly knowing" them.

"Want to play the piano..."

Shenwu couldn't understand why this sentence had such a heavy meaning, just like he couldn't understand such a strong "desire" for foreign objects.

"Then I'll stay with you, but... it can't be too late."

"Aren't you going to rest?"

Kazusa asked rhetorically. The teasing from Shingo just now really made her lose her temper. This was not an emotion that could be smoothed over with just a few words.

“It’s not impossible to make an exception once in a while.”

Walking down the stairs step by step, Shen Wu probably wanted to step firmly on each step, or... he was adjusting his expression.

At least when the two walked side by side again, Hesha always felt that he might have gained something from her smile.

"Besides, if you need to set an alarm clock to remind you to complete something, it must have been violated to the point of being helpless."

"Always say things that people can't understand..."

Kazuya murmured in a low voice. As the master, she followed Shingo at this time, probably... to hide her expression.

"You must be bullying me again..."

"Because Kazusa is so cute, I can't help but want to bully her."

Shenwu connected two things that should have nothing to do with each other by cause and effect. This guy confuses others, and rightfully so.

However, Kazusa didn't know how she accepted this statement. Perhaps it was because she had been accustomed to Shingo's bad intentions from a very early age - or even, had this guy said such a thing a long time ago?

"Cute or something..."

Even if this sentence is interpreted as a compliment, there is no problem, right?
