Society fears that young people don’t want to be literary godfathers

After hearing the sudden words of Takegami Kasumi, Mochizuki, who was still talking to Kurihara Saki, couldn't help but froze:

"Why did President Takegami say that?"

"...Because, if she really regrets it, she won't smile so happily, right?"

"......"

Following Takegami Kasumi's gaze, the eyes of the boys and girls fell on the girl who had been tapping the piano keys dexterously and was completely in the zone.

After a whole section of piano solo and singing that showed off his skills and brought self-satisfaction, as if he noticed the gazes of Mochizuki Ri, Kurihara Saki and others, with his back to the rising sun, the sparkling Xu Yuhuai winked mischievously, Started to enter my own world:

(The morning light blooms together,)

(Red sky and returning birds,)

(It is the same color day and night...)

(Innocent childlike innocence,)

(It’s not annihilated now~)

Such is the song.

The percussion of the piano became more and more passionate, and the figure of the young man wearing a sunflower sweatshirt and hood appeared in Xu Yuhuai's eyes again - then a smile appeared, and a joyful voice was loud and clear:

(Start action, pointer rotates,)

(Then I will be closely connected to you...)

(Time, please carry me,)

(It’s not without reason to continue!)

(Goodbye, the emotions overflowing from the heart,)

(Time, please carry me——)

(It’s not meaningless to continue!)

The music falls.

Waves of applause came from all directions!

The pure joy, lively melody, and gentle singing evoke people's most authentic happiness.

Under the warm autumn sunshine, listening to such gentle songs, several elderly listeners even began to sway unconsciously, and entered a happy paradise with jpop, which is suitable for both refined and popular tastes.

Seeing the enthusiastic response from the audience, Xu Yuhuai's eyes narrowed with laughter——

At this point, the piano accompaniment turned aggressive, and the originally exciting and energetic singing also became calmer.

In the bridge section of "Shi", Xu Yuhuai's singing voice is soft, just like the sunrise three years ago:

(Please refer to early spring,)

(Please sing the songs of insects at night,)

(Please save yourself from getting wet in the rain,)

(Leave the white breath with these daily routines...!)

The piano keys were skillfully swept by the girl, as if she remembered something worth remembering... Mottled tears flashed in Xu Yuhuai's eyes.

After recovering, the figure of herself running in the summer appeared in her eyes... The girl who was reborn in the gap between hell and heaven continued to sing with choked sobs but a smile on her face:

(Start action, pointer rotates,)

(Then tightly connected to you,)

(Time, please carry me,)

(It’s not meaningless to continue,)

(Goodbye, the emotions overflowing from the heart,)

(Time, please carry me and start accelerating!)

The breeze blows by.

The golden autumn leaves drifted in all directions with the cool breeze, weaving a fantasy dream like a golden ribbon——

The good things from the past came to her heart and she started running again. The girl who started chasing didn't notice her tears falling, but she just smiled and laughed as usual.

Tears, smiles and tears intertwined, and the complex emotions carried the most authentic happiness, deeply touching all the audiences:

(Start running, start sweating,)

(Tightly connected to tomorrow’s morning——)

(Time, please carry me!)

(It’s not meaningless to continue,)

(Goodbye, the emotions overflowing from the heart,)

(Time, when will you land?)

(at that moment,)

(Goodbye forever!)

The gentle and clear jazz piano swayed with the girl's thin body——

It was as if she had finished watching her own life, walked through the cold and mighty golden autumn, and met the mysterious sunflower boy again... The girl's eyes were reddish, her sobbing voice was full of emotion, and she was slightly hoarse. Repeating the last line of the lyrics:

"Goodbye forever...!!!"

At this point, the ditty mixed with the romantic spring atmosphere finally ends with this line of lyrics.

As if hope and life were finally ushering in after the introverted winter, the girl covered her eyes, trembling all over.

For a moment, she had a vision of her mother crying silently at her father's funeral. She had a vision of hearing the harsh ridicule she had suffered, like sea breeze penetrating a rusty iron mesh. She had a vision of sitting alone on the rooftop of the hospital, lonely. Looking at myself in the distance——

However, everything in the past disappeared in an instant.

The half-lucid and half-mad burning has passed...and the anxious soul has returned to reality.

From all directions, thunderous applause and laughter surrounded the girl.

By the time Xu Yuhuai came to his senses, Mochizuki was already squatting gently beside her.

"Stop crying..."

The boy was handed a handkerchief and took off his sunglasses:

"No matter what you have experienced in the past, what you have been confused about, what you have lost - your life has just begun."

"Indeed."

Kurihara Saki gently rocked the wheelchair with a gentle voice:

"Thank you for your hard work, Sister Xu."

"...If you don't mind, would you like to be a friend?"

Takegami Kasumi and Tsugawa Yu, who were leaning toward the sun corner, also slowly walked forward:

"What a great show... If you have time, why don't we have a cup of tea together?"

"...Really, really?"

Wiping the tears from his eyes, Xu Yuhuai, who had always pretended to be strong, looked at his brothers and sisters who had just met him for the first time and only had a half-understanding of his past, and his voice became more and more trembling:

"Friend...? Can I really...?"

"of course can."

Gently stroking Xu Yuhuai's little head, Mochizuki's voice was also slightly touched:

"You and I may have more than just a one-time fate - isn't it?"

"........"

Hearing what Mochizuki said.

The girl managed to regain her calm expression and factored it in an instant.

"Woo, woo..."

Her nose and ears turned red instantly, as if she had finally discovered something. The girl hugged the boy who handed her a handkerchief tightly, and all her past emotions turned into howls, echoing in all directions.

.......Actually, whether that encounter on the hospital rooftop was real or not, whether "Sunflower" existed or not, it was no longer important——

She had already seen the rising sun burning at the end of her dream.

49. I want to chase with you

"It's About Time" is over.

No one expected that Xu Yuhuai, who had always been smiling, would hold Mochizuki tightly and cry after the concert -

However, facing such a situation, Mochizuki didn't have any special ideas.

Although his clothes were wet with the girl's tears... but looking at the fragile yet extremely strong girl in his arms, the boy felt faintly moved.

.........It turns out that my copywriting career has also saved others.

"...hug, sorry..."

Maybe he felt that he was a little rude... After a brief moment of losing control of his emotions, he gently wiped his tears and reluctantly pulled out of Mochizuki's arms. With his eyes red, Xu Yuhuai picked up the microphone and gently Gently stroking the Casio electric piano that was placed aside, looking at the crowds of people in all directions, an moved smile appeared.

Although it has been some time since he returned to his normal routine, Xu Yuhuai never expected to plan this benefit performance, muster up the courage to sing Mr. Slothfish's music on the street, and receive applause and onlookers from so many people.

"...It's really amazing."

Gently stroking Xu Yuhuai's little head, Kurihara Saki, who had always been taciturn, was like a mother, softly comforting this girl who was two or three years younger than him and had been moving forward silently:

"Looking up, there are so many people applauding you——"

"Come on, no matter what, please don't forget that there are people who love you around you."

"haha, yes."

Tsugawa Yu gently patted his brother Mochizuki's shoulder, and his tone was as jumpy as ever:

"If you have any questions, please go to your Brother Mochizuki... Even though he always looks like this and doesn't seem to talk much, in fact he is also an unexpectedly reliable person -"

"What does it mean to be unexpectedly reliable?"

Hearing that Fa Xiao had commented on him like this, Mochizuki turned around, with a hint of displeasure on his expressionless face:

"...I've always been reliable, no surprises at all."

"Pfft...Okay, okay~"

Seeing the bickering between Mochizuki and his group, the girl who had never had friends in the past felt a warmth rising in her heart.

Although she has returned to daily life, the transfer of schools and past experiences still make it difficult for her to have normal interactions with other students at the school, let alone have friends——

Can I... be friends with them too?

Recalling the situation not long ago when Brother Jinchuan and Sister Takegami reached out to themselves and invited themselves to be friends, Xu Yuhuai, who had always deliberately tried to make himself cheerful, but actually had very low self-esteem, felt his cheeks get slightly hot.

So embarrassed........

Youthful thoughts linger in my heart.

but--

Recalling the time when he hugged Mochizuki tightly and cried loudly, the corners of Xu Yuhuai's mouth unconsciously formed a smile.

Maybe I already had my first friends from a long time ago...

Thoughts so far.

The girl's eyebrows became clear again.

She just held the microphone tightly, sniffed, and announced with a bright smile:

"So...the charity performance is almost over here——"

"Everyone, goodbye by fate!"

Cheers arose and the encore was as loud as thunder.

"Haha... I'm really flattered that everyone likes me so much."
