Chapter 364 The Agreement with Liuli to Participate in the World Piano Competition

Said it was a trip of three.

But in fact, after returning from the school trip, Sakakihara Raku found that there were almost no opportunities for the three of them to stay together.

Either accompany Liuli in the student union to complete some student union work, or stay in the literature club in July, read books with her, and organize the bookshelves in the literature club with her.

This time can be said to be quite leisurely.

Because not only did the old man not interfere with his relationship with Qijiu during this period, but even his uncle chose to acquiesce in his relationship with Qijiu.

It's just that Sakakibara Raku felt something was wrong with the way his uncle looked at her when he came home.

It was a calm, silent gaze with a sense of overlooking, like the eyes of an interrogator.

Sakakihara Raku feels a little scared when he thinks about it now.

"Dad's birthday will be in a few days."

After the school bell rang in the Literature Department classroom, Tianhai Qi Mingyue, who was sitting by the window wearing gold-rimmed glasses, squinted at the door and suddenly said this.

Sakakibara Raku had just arrived at the Literature Club. As soon as he opened the door, he heard the words of Amami Nanamigetsu that almost made him unable to hold back.

He almost subconsciously asked the girl with gold-rimmed glasses on her nose:

"Uncle's birthday? True or false?"

"There is no need for me to deceive you about this matter, although I understand that it is difficult for you to face my father now."

"."

"What?" Tianhai Qi Mingyue watched him walk into the classroom and come in front of her.

"It's nothing. I just always feel that the way my uncle looks at me these days, he seems to want to put me in Chishan Prison."

Sakakibara opened the stool, put down his schoolbag, and sat down in front of Tenkai Nanamiyue.

Tianhai Zhixue is still sleeping here, with a lot of homework pressed on her right cheek and a crooked black gel pen in her hand. This leaves some strange black lines on the exercise book.

As soon as Sakakihara sat down like this, the three of them seemed to be surrounding a desk against the wall.

Nanami Nanami's side face reflected the blue sky and white clouds outside the window. She raised her chin, closed the book in her hand, and asked directly to Raku Sakakibara in front of her:

"So, what gifts are you planning to prepare?"

"It's hard to talk about this. Does July have any suggestions?"

"My suggestion is that you, brother, try your best to win over dad, otherwise it will be difficult for you to get through grandpa's confinement."

"I understand, I asked my uncle and my mother to go out for dinner together, right?" Raku Sakakihara lay on the table and reached out to poke Amami Nozuki's beautiful sleeping nose, "The more I think about this, the more embarrassing it becomes. I'll take you two with me." Go see your uncle and mom or something."

Tianhai Zhixue's little nose is very soft.

If you poke it gently, you can also get some responses from her in her sleep, and you will hear her lazily "hmm".

Raku Sakakibara thought it was really fun to poke her, so he poked her a few more times, and Amami no Yuki's reaction became bigger and bigger.

Just as Yuki was about to be awakened, a closed library book suddenly cut off his index finger from poking Tianhai Zhixue's nose.

Sakakibara lay on the table, looking up the library, and saw the look in Amami Nanamiyue's eyes that was almost equivalent to contempt under those gold-rimmed glasses.

Sakakihara decisively stopped and smiled at her.

"Are you jealous?"

"Don't touch other women in front of me, whether they are sisters or not."

In fact, after returning from Hawaii, Sakakibara also found that Qi Qi was quite controlling.

Although she agreed to be able to use her own hands, she even agreed to help solve Liuli's problem.

But if she really saw her and Liuli hanging out together, she would still be a little unhappy.

I understand, Sakakihara Raku understands very well, this is jealousy

So, as usual, Sakakihara moved the stool to Qiyue and sat very close to her.

"July. July~~"

"If you have anything to say, say it quickly. Don't shout my name like a child asking for milk." Faced with his shameless approach, Tianhai Qi Mingyue chose to turn her face to the other side.

Sakakibara could only see the side of her face, but found that her hand was still on the school skirt, so he reached out to cover her little hand, touched the back of her smooth hand, and blew the air in her ear, "Aren't you all? Did you agree to Liuli? Just don’t be so jealous in normal times, okay? Sometimes you’re cute when you’re jealous, and sometimes you’re cold. If you’re too cold, you’re not cute.”

"My lack of clarity has nothing to do with you. I just can't adjust for a while," Tianhai Qimingyue replied angrily, but she didn't open his hand to touch her. "And regarding this question of mine, you can do it with just one sentence." Solved? You should think about some gifts for my dad."

"Of course I will think about this. Besides, don't I belong to you now?"

"Are you anxious?" Tianhai Qimingyue laughed softly.

"It's been a week since I came back."

"." Tianhai Qi Mingyue was quiet for a while, and then answered, "Tomorrow, tomorrow is Friday, school will be over early in the afternoon, and I will take you somewhere."

"Where?"

"You just have to promise me."

"Okay, I promise you in July."

*

Sakakibara Raku didn't know where Qi Qi was talking about, what he was going to do, or what other purposes he had.

It's good not to be clear. Maintaining a certain sense of mystery will bring more expectations for the new day.

After finishing his homework in the Literature Club and waiting for Ruri to finish her work in the student union, Sakakibara took the three of them home together and went to the supermarket to buy groceries.

Time seems to have returned to the past.

Tianhai Qimingyue and Tianhai Jiuliuli wore Western-style school uniforms, pleated skirts, and small leather shoes, and walked in front carrying schoolbags. They held hands and chatted with each other about what happened today.

Qi Qi hadn't eaten potato chips for a long time and wanted to buy some potato chips to put in the refrigerator. Liuli asked herself to buy less potato chips for her, saying that eating too many potato chips would be bad.

And this happened to be heard by Qi Qi, who would hold her sister's arm and say, "Sister is too much~".

So weird, really weird.

Although he was pushing the cart and following the two of them, he was very close, yet he felt like they were far away in the horizon.

If you look around a little bit, you might not be able to recognize who the two sisters are.

There is a touch of unreality.

"Happy in a daze."

This sentence was said by Amami Nozuki to Sakakibara Raku.

"Um"

After Raku Sakakihara heard her voice, he continued pushing the car and followed the two sisters around the mall.

Tianhai Zhixue asked again: "Why is Le in a daze?"

"Have you seen Liuli and Qiyue?"

"I saw it, in front."

"When Liuli Qiyue and I first met, this was how we went to the supermarket with them. At that time, we were still a little bit different. Qiyue was closer to her sister than to me. She even contacted me just to tease her. Even though I was not familiar with either of them when I was playing with Liuli, I had an idea of ​​wanting to get in touch with them, and I also thought the twins were very beautiful and cute."

"I don't quite understand what Le wants to say."

Sakakihara chuckled:

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand well. It's just that for me, Qiyue and Liuli were very simple and happy at the beginning. But later on, I discovered that they had a heavy past behind them. Knowing them, the more I understand that the happiness between them is hard-won. Although it is a bit shameless to say this, I really want them to bring everyone back to the past time and the relaxed and joyful atmosphere when we first met. "

Tianhai Zhixue blinked: "I seem to understand."

"That's good," Sakakibara put his hand on Amami Nozuki's head and rubbed her beige hair, "Actually, this is the same for you, Zhixue. I really don't want to make you sad, and I also want to You get happiness, care and joy in this family and in everyone's relationships."

Sakakibara Raku's voice when he said this was so gentle that Amami no Yuki heard it and felt that he was seriously caring about her.

I secretly looked up at him and felt that he was like a big brother, solid and reliable.

Similarly, Tianhai Zhixue also had an idea in her mind.

She whispered to Sakakibara:

"I also want to make Le happy."

"Huh? Really?"

"Really." Tianhai Zhixue was as simple as a child and spoke very straightforwardly without hesitation. She kept looking at him with her eyes beside him. "If Le is sad, I will also be unhappy, so I won't It will make Le unhappy.”

"Thank you. I'm happier than anyone else that Yuki has such a heart."

*

After buying groceries from the supermarket and returning home, Raku Sakakibara resumed his daily routine of ending the day.

Do homework, learn new knowledge, make dinner with Liuli, and then wait until A Ling comes home after work, and everyone sits together to have dinner.

At the same dinner table, there was a long-lost "I'm starting".

Ah Ling was still restless while eating, and kept complaining about the weird and embarrassing things of some of her colleagues.

Tian Hai Qi Mingyue was listening, and they complained about A Ling's words at any time.

Qi Qi's words were always to the point. Of course A Ling was not convinced, and then... the two started a daily bickering mode.

In the past, Sakakihara Raku would definitely have stopped him.

But now both he and Liuli smiled knowingly.

How long have you not seen such a harmonious scene?

There will be small quarrels and bickering, and then peace will return after eating a bowl of rice with the same taste.

Is the so-called happy life nothing more than this?

Ling, Qi, Jiu, Xue, everyone is actually looking forward to such a simple daily life.

Raku Sakakihara was very happy to see it, and after everyone finished dinner, he took the initiative to wash the dishes.

Amami Kuruuri came over to help, and Sakakihara Raku was responsible for washing. She used clean water to rinse the foam off the dishes and chopsticks.

"By the way, Ruri." Sakakihara suddenly started talking.

"What?" Tianhai Jiuliuli looked at him.

"Let's go to England during the summer vacation."

"."

Tianhai Jiuliuli was stunned.

Sakakihara looked at her, "What, don't you want to go?"

"No," Tianhai Jiuliuli replied in hesitation. She lowered her head and continued to clean the porcelain bowl in her hand. "It's just that it's a little too fast."

"Not fast."

Sakakibara replied.

In fact, he specifically asked Xiaqiyue for his opinion on Liuli's trip to England.

As the twin sister, Qiyue's opinions are also to the point.

Liuli, in fact, is still a person without "self".

She longs for everyone's love, but has no independence of her own.

The purpose of going to England was to visit their mother again, to help Liuli face the past and establish herself.

When asked why they suddenly talked about their mother, whom they had not seen for a long time, Sakakihara Raku could only answer that Bertha had never given up, but she now understood that her influence on Liuli was too small and she could not influence Liuli. It’s just an effect.

Fortunately, she didn't take advantage of Liuli when she was in despair.

Raku Sakakibara cleaned the plate in his hands:

"Liu Li hasn't completely given up on the piano, right?"

"That's true, but actually I haven't practiced for a long time. I only met when I went to join the band with everyone."

"What do Liuli think about the piano?"

Tianhai Jiuliuli thought about it for a long time, "Although, this is something my mother gave me, and I have had many unpleasant memories for it, but my achievements on the piano are not all unsatisfactory. I also enjoyed some standing on the stage." a feeling of."

Sakakihara Raku could still remember Ruri's piano recital.

The eyes of the two thousand people in the audience focused on Liuli. She stood in the center of the stage and saluted everyone like a princess.

How could this not have any impact on Liuli, who had lacked recognition since childhood?

Sakakibara looked at Tianhai's nine-glazed face:

"Then if I told you, Liuli, that I also wanted you to participate in a world piano competition, Liuli, what would you think?"

Tianhai Jiuliuli met his gaze and froze on the spot.

"Lejun, you also want me to win a World Series?"

"yes."

"Can I ask Lejun why?"

Sakakihara smiled and said: "The reason is actually as I said just now. To Liuli, the piano is no longer something that your aunt forced you to give to Liuli. In your heart, Liuli, the piano also means a lot to you. You I have been recognized above and recognized by everyone. And now I hope, Liuli, that you can be recognized by the whole world."

"Hopefully I get recognition from the whole world."

This sentence made Tianhai Jiuliuli freeze his hands in mid-air and murmured again.

"That's right, recognition from the whole world, doesn't it sound very passionate?" Sakakihara smiled again, "And I will also participate."

Tianhai Jiuliuli came back to his senses and asked in surprise: "Lejun will also participate?"

"Well, although I'm still a novice piano player, and I'm only at an outside level like Level 10, I don't want to just see your own efforts. I want to work hard with you during your hard work, Liuli, and personally Witness your success.”

This passage made Tianhai Jiuliuli think about it for a long time.

She was thinking, what does the piano mean to herself?

Does the piano technique that her mother taught her to realize her dream mean that the piano does not belong to her at all?

Does Lejun want him to participate, or does his true heart want him to participate?

For me, is the piano something that was forced upon me by my mother, or has it become my own achievement?

I don’t know what I am for, I don’t know what I like, I don’t know what is my own.

question

Too many.

Tianhai Jiuliuli didn't even know if he could give himself an answer.

But what she knew was that she had indeed been confused for too long.

"I promise."

"Huh? Liuli agreed?"

Tianhai Jiuliuli nodded, "Yes, I agreed. Although this was Lejun's suggestion to me, and although Lejun also expected to see me stand on the world stage, the difference from my mother's time is that I have thought about it. The way I stand on the stage, and Lejun has never taken advantage of me, but sincerely hopes that I can get something of my own. For this, for Lejun and for myself, I will participate in the competition and will definitely stand on the stage. The world’s stage.”

Sakakihara was happy to see some shadows of the past on her face and eyes.

"That's the Liuli I expected. I should say the real Liuli. In fact, Liuli doesn't need to rely on anyone."

"But, don't Lejun like the way I rely on you?"

"That's right, but Liuli, who is full of confidence and self, is also charming. In fact, it doesn't matter, because whether it is Liuli who needs others or the confident Liuli in the past, I like them all. All I want is... It’s just to make Liuli live comfortably and live like herself.”

Tianhai Jiuliuli pursed her lips tightly when she heard what he said.

In fact, what I have been looking forward to since I was a child is a person who can support me from behind?

After Sakakibara finished speaking, he also made a joke to her:

"Of course, Liuli, don't let me defeat you on the field."

Tianhai Jiuliuli also smiled beautifully: "No, it's better for Lejun not to be eliminated in the preliminary round. I also hope to compete with you in the finals."

"It seems that Liuli is really looking forward to that scene, so we have agreed that during the summer vacation, we will go to the World Piano Competition together."

"Okay, promise, pull the hook."

"Hook."

"Besides, Liuli, is there anything that uncle particularly likes?"

"ah?"
