Actually, there is one more thing that Ayase didn't say. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

It's true that she's now in love with modeling, and she's happy every time she gets a job call from the agency, but at first, that's not the case.

Compared to her cheerful best friend, Ayase herself is much more honest and timid, and she has been hesitant to accept the job at first for the double invitation of Kirino and the firm.

What really made her make up her mind was the arrival of Xia You.

Two months ago, Natsuyu moved here due to family matters, and when she learned the news, Ayase didn't know how happy she was, and she felt that she could finally stay with her brother all the time.

After learning from Xia You that things were going wrong, she couldn't help but feel sorry for her brother.

If it were Ayase, she thought she wouldn't be able to stay at home, right?

Just thinking about calling a strange woman her mother makes her shudder, and besides, Ayase knows how much her brother values her deceased mother, and that is by no means an existence that can be replaced by others.

For my brother, maybe it's a good thing to just move out, although if you do so, you have to face the dilemma of living independently.

For this reason, Ayase decided that no matter what, he must protect him - just like when he was a child, he protected himself!

So she resolutely accepted the invitation of the firm, and redoubled her efforts to get permission from her parents.

And the work of the model did not live up to her expectations, providing a good pay.

When she first got her first salary, Ayase was even shocked, although she had already learned the approximate amount of her salary from Kirino, but when she actually got it, she was still a little incredulous.

Then Ayase gave most of her salary to her mother, and left some of the money in her passbook to be used by her brother.

It's just that for more than two months, Ayase has been hesitating about how to tell her brother about this.

If she told everything about it, then my brother would definitely not accept her help, right?

Ayase knew that although his brother was very gentle, he was very stubborn in some principles and would never agree.

Originally, Ayase was going to slow down, and she would talk about it after a while, but today Xia You said that he wanted to work, which made her busy for a while, so she had to say it in advance.

"Ayase, I appreciate your kindness, but you should take back the money. ”

Xia You handed over the passbook, but Ayase refused to accept it, she lowered her head and kept silent, her hands clutched the hem of her skirt, looking like a small angry bag.

In addition to crying and laughing, Xia You's heart also warmed slightly, and he reached out and touched Ayase's head, "I know you are for my good, but there are some things I want to try myself, if it doesn't work, can I say it again?"

He's not the kind of person who is pretentious.

If it's really necessary, Xia Yu will definitely not refuse Ayase's help, but the cost of living is not very tight at the moment, so it's good to have a chance to try a part-time job.

After all, in this life, Xia You has no memory of working at all, and he doesn't have much social experience.

As for his previous life, he did a lot of part-time jobs, such as writing online articles, drawing illustrations or something, but those are the types that don't need to go out.

If you go to work, you can not only accumulate experience in the world, but also allow Xia You to adapt to life in this world as soon as possible, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

“...... All right. Ayase looked a little unacceptable, but she didn't say anything more, and said, "Then brother, what type of job are you looking for?"

"I don't have any special skills, so I can only work at convenience stores and restaurants. Xia You touched his chin.

"Brother, you haven't done anything like this before, it's very hard to work for the first time, can you persevere?" Considering the self-care ability shown by her brother in the past, Ayase couldn't help but express worry.

"Well, there shouldn't be any problem. ”

At this time, Ayase hesitated and said: "If only brother, you would like to play the piano again, Ayase just knew someone, she really hoped that her brother could go over to play the piano, and the salary should not be low......"

After saying that, she carefully observed Xia You's expression, afraid that he would show displeasure.

Xia You was stunned for a moment, he didn't understand what was wrong with Ayase, and then a lot of pictures suddenly flashed in his mind, and he immediately understood.

Seventy or eighty years ago, under the leadership of the head of the family, the Xia family moved to Japan.

Through the unremitting efforts of several generations, the Xia family has transformed from a family of artists to one of the largest chaebols in Japan today.

But two things have not changed:

First, all ethnic groups are required to learn Chinese.

Even though the Xia family's current economic focus is mainly in Japan, and the language of life is mainly Japanese, but people cannot forget their roots, so Chinese is a compulsory course for everyone of all ethnic groups.

The second is the importance of the talents of the clan, because this is the origin of the Xia family.

For this reason, every child of the Xia family must learn a talent, qin, chess, calligraphy and painting are optional, which is one of the family rules handed down by the Xia family since ancient times.

And the predecessor is naturally no exception, he has no problem reading and writing in Chinese.

As for his talents, he has studied many musical instruments under the guidance of many masters, and has also dabbled in painting, but in the end he chose the piano.

Because his mother, Aragaki Aoku, was a pianist, and when he was a child, he often sat in front of the piano with him in his arms and played various tunes.

Xia You's artistic talent is extremely high, and after focusing on the piano, he was soon hailed as a piano genius who was seen once in decades, and the elders in the family were very optimistic about him.

But they didn't know that Xia You's purpose for playing the piano had only one purpose from beginning to end, that is, to hope that her mother could be happy.

Later, her mother became seriously ill and stayed in the hospital for longer and longer, and the predecessor hoped to relieve her pain with piano music, but this was just a child's fantasy after all.

Four years ago, just as the predecessor was about to participate in the Chopin International Junior Piano Competition, Aragaki Aoku died of illness in the hospital.

The death of his mother devastated Xia You, who was only 12 years old, and he refused to play the piano anymore, and even did not participate in the competition that decided his piano career.

For this reason, he was criticized by many people, who felt that he was too arrogant, and dared to be absent from international competitions of this level, and even some elders in the family did not understand his behavior, thinking that this move was too child's play.

The absence of the competition made Xia You also feel very guilty, but since then, he really hasn't played the piano again.

At least, Ayase never saw him play the piano again......

She has been by Xia You's side all these years, in order to hope that one day he can pick up the piano again, in Ayase's mind, his brother when he plays the piano is always the most handsome.

"Hoo ......"

Natsu let out a long sigh of light breath and then stood up.

Under Ayase's stunned gaze, he walked over to the piano, which occupied most of the living room, pulled out a chair and sat down.

"Brother, you ......"

Ayase was slightly distracted.

Xia You stared at the black piano in front of him, and felt a little trance, this was his mother's favorite piano in the past.

Since her death, her father has moved it to this apartment so as not to hurt the scene, but every once in a while someone will find someone to clean it so that it does not get dusty.

Just sitting here, all kinds of memories of the past are pouring out like a spring, refreshing people's souls.

"I'm sorry Ayase, I've been letting you see my embarrassing side......."

He smiled silently, his fingertips touching the cold keys.

At this moment, the soul of the previous body fused perfectly with him, "I will change, after all, I can't just keep scraping firewood......"

In his previous life, he didn't get back up for many years because of a hand injury.

And in this life, because of the death of his mother, he hasn't cheered up for many years.

But people always have to grow up, and they can't be awkward all the time, can they?

Xia You slowly closed his eyes, raised his hands high, and then fell abruptly and pressed on the keys.

Boom~

As if the soul had been stirred, the piano sounded suddenly.

Accompanied by Xia You's palm, it danced on the keys, and a bright and slightly sad melody began to play slowly.

Pale golden sunlight shone in through the windows, the curtains lifted slightly, and in this small and old apartment, the pleasant notes, as if telling his inner feelings, gradually rang out.

After a short prelude, Xia You hummed quietly while playing, his voice was very clean, like the snow gradually melting in the morning sun.

"The place I walked with the people I liked, the scenery I saw together

Leave behind what you have seen and what you have seen

Run with all your might

What awaits me ahead?"
