The fantasy scene did not come true in the end. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Because, before I could catch up with Xia You, he disappeared first.

yes, literally, the guy disappeared-

That was four years ago.

At that time, I learned from Aunt Chihiro that Xia Yu had already qualified for the Chopin International Junior Piano Competition.

He was also the youngest of those contestants, only 12 years old.

When I heard this, I was both happy and frustrated.

Happy because that guy is about to realize his dream.

Even at the time, I knew that the Chopin International Junior Piano Competition was a sacred place for everyone who wanted to become a pianist.

Xia You can qualify for the competition, which means that he has initially the strength to become an international pianist.

As long as we continue to work hard, the future will be bright.

And the frustration, of course, is because he is getting farther and farther away from me, far away from places I may never reach.

Of course, don't think too much about it, I'm not unhappy because that guy left me forward, I'm just not convinced!

Although I hated Natsuyu, in order to see how good he was, I begged Aunt Chihiro to take me to the game.

Even though tickets for that level of tournament were expensive and priceless, Aunt Chihiro was the person I admired the most, and she easily got her tickets.

A few days before the race, I flew out of the country with Aunt Chihiro.

It was my first time flying, and I was actually quite scared, but the thought of hearing the guy's piano next, I was fearless.

The international piano competition is really different, it is completely different from the ones I have participated in before, it is very solemn.

Yes, solemnly.

This was one of the few difficult words I could understand at the time.

Even sitting in the audience, I could feel the difference in the atmosphere, and I couldn't help but think that guy was really good enough to be selected to participate in this kind of competition.

Immediately, I was a little worried, would that guy be nervous?

Because I know that idiot is always a little nervous before he goes on stage.

Even though he's competed in so many competitions and won so many awards, it's the same thing that hasn't changed since I first saw him many years ago.

Later, he shouldn't hit the chair again, right?

Fantasizing about such a funny scene, time passed, and the competition finally began, and the contestants who participated were really good, and any one of them could easily beat me at that time.

And this also made me deeply realize that Xia You is really very powerful, so powerful that he can compete with such a group of people on the same stage.

I'm afraid that when he participated in those domestic competitions in the past, he didn't show his real strength at all, it's really a hot guy.

It's a big fire, but I'm still looking forward to him playing.

I heard from Aunt Chihiro that the guy, as the youngest contestant, was scheduled to be the last to play.

So I waited for the moment when he would play.

Originally, it was supposed to be like this.

But the guy didn't play.

When the radio announced that it was his turn to go on stage, but there was no one in sight, I originally thought that the guy was nervous and didn't dare to go on stage, and I couldn't help but want to laugh.

What, what a clumsy guy, if it were me, I wouldn't be nervous!

Well, it must be so!

But when I listened to the repetition of the radio, but no one showed up, and the audience began to talk, I panicked.

Something must have happened to that guy, right?

The people who run the contest don't seem to know what this is going on.

I saw a few blonde foreigners sitting on the judges' stand, their faces were all very bad, and I couldn't hear what they said, but I guess they should have asked someone to go to Xia You.

I was expecting to find him, but he didn't play until the end of the game, so he was counted as absent.

After the competition, Aunt Chihiro took me back to Japan.

Because I didn't know what happened to that guy until the end, and I was very disappointed, I asked Aunt Chihiro, what will happen if that guy is absent from the game?

Even though I didn't have a clear idea of this kind of international competition at the time, I still knew that the consequences of missing a competition of this caliber would be serious.

Sure enough, Aunt Chihiro told me-

Absent from the competition for no reason, he probably will never be able to become a pianist again.

At least, it will no longer be able to be on the international stage.

Xia You's absence from Chopin's junior piano competition has also attracted widespread attention in Japan.

Many people came to scold him, saying that by doing this, he was simply disgraced by the country.

Even a lot of people who are piano students like me often say that they treat that guy as a joke, and I get very angry when I hear it.

What, what, what!

You people know what he does, and what kind of idiots who can't even play the piano are qualified to judge him.

I've always thought I'm a very sensible person, but sure enough, sometimes I can't bear it.

So I got angry and shouted at the self-righteous fools:

"That guy will definitely come back! He likes the piano so much, how could he leave! Before he comes back, I'll take the first place, you stupid people, even I can't win, don't say anything bad about him!"

Looking at me who started the fire for no reason, those people looked a little stupid at the time, and immediately laughed out loud.

Seeing this, I was so angry that I was about to burst into tears.

But I didn't cry and ran back home.

Now think about it, why was I so angry at that time?

It's like looking at the most cherished thing and being easily trampled on, and you can't bear it.

Since then, I've started to work harder, and as these idiots say, I'm going to win the first place in all the races.

Because that's what that guy did in the first place, as long as he participates in the competition, absolutely no one can beat him.

I'm not as good as him, I'm not as smart as him, and all I can do with my lack of talent is to work hard, work hard, and work hard!

It was really hard at first, because the reason why my parents allowed me to play the piano was because I didn't fall behind in my studies, and if I dropped out of the top three in the grade, they would withdraw the permission.

In order not to fall behind in my grades, I studied hard and piled all the time except for practicing.

Luckily, I'm not too stupid, and I've been doing well by working twice as hard as others.

That's why my parents, although they didn't want me to be a pianist, didn't stop me.

At the same time, as time went on, I became more and more proficient at playing the piano.

Even though I was getting more and more advanced, I was always going to win, and as I said when I was 12 years old, I would beat everyone and take first place before that guy came back.

I'm glad I can do these things with my efforts, and fantasize expectantly about what kind of expression he'll look at me when that guy returns-

Is it surprise, or disbelief?

Hee-hee, before you know it, I've already started to catch up with you.

Even if you come back, I won't give you the first place so easily, because I have worked hard.

In my spare time to practice the piano, I fantasized about these things, but I didn't realize that as I continued to win major competitions, Xia You, who was originally regarded as a piano genius, became more and more unpopular.

Instead, I was gradually promoted to the position of genius.

It wasn't until a year ago, when I also received an invitation to Chopin's International Junior Piano Competition, that I realized that the guy might never show up again.

Because he didn't remember me from the beginning, and certainly wouldn't know that the reason I worked so hard was to wait for him to come back.

After thinking about this, I cried for a long time that night.

Then I tore up the invitation and asked Aunt Chihiro to turn them down for me.

I don't really understand why I did that.

Maybe I don't like the piano as much as I thought I would.

Perhaps, all I like is the feeling of following someone.

But when that person never showed up again, I lost my direction, and there was no point in going to the Chopin Piano Competition.

Of course, I didn't mean to give up on the piano, it's my favorite thing.

It's just that I don't practice as hard as I used to, and I play the pieces repeatedly in preparation for a certain competition, and gradually, I don't participate in competitions very much.

As a result, my reputation as a genius in the piano world has slowly faded, which makes me feel relieved.

Because I know I've never been a genius, just a very clumsy girl.

It took me a long time to try to catch up with that guy.

The real genius should be that guy, the boy named Xia You.

It's just a pity that he will never show up again-

That's what I thought.

Until one day two months ago, I had just finished a competition and was about to go home when I received a call from Aunt Chihiro.

On the phone, she told me that she had met Xia You's sister.

It is said that Aunt Chihiro was looking for her friend when she overheard someone say that Natsuyu was mentioned.

Although she also thought it was unlikely, she still went up to ask, but unexpectedly it was Xia You's sister.

Then Aunt Chihiro said that she inquired from Xia You's sister.

Some things about his brother, that is, Xia You.

Aside from the gossip news, the only thing that is clear is that he no longer plays the piano.

Yes, that guy doesn't play the piano anymore.

Although I had a premonition about this, when I learned about it, my heart was instantly empty.

Then he couldn't help crying, his hands clenched, and tears kept flowing from his eyes.

Along with the tears welled up was uncontrollable anger and disappointment.

I want to ask him, I want to ask that guy-

What exactly is a piano to you?

Is it worthless, can you really discard it so ruthlessly?!

Leave your voice in my heart without permission, and then disappear without permission.

It's all about betraying me who has been longing for you in the first performance.

In the end, I didn't see your true side, and I didn't show you how hard I've worked over the years and hated you.

With tears in my eyes, I always stood in the middle of the hall.

Even when the people who passed by were surprised and were about to bump into me and rushed to dodge, I continued to stand there without care, my cheeks full of tears.

"Xia You, you big liar. ”

...

That's me and him-

The story between him and the boy named Xia You.

As I said at the beginning, this story, from beginning to end, was just wishful thinking on my part.

And he, Xia You doesn't know anything.

Yes, I don't know.

Perhaps, he has long forgotten the girl who suddenly cried on the stage many years ago, and he has also forgotten that he also gave that girl a candy.

After listening to me for so long, everyone must have been irritated for a long time, right?

Actually, I don't say this to complain to everyone, and I don't feel that he owes me.

On the contrary, I am grateful to him.

If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have understood the beauty of music, and I wouldn't have studied the piano seriously.

Instead, I will always follow my parents' instructions to learn what they want me to learn, and become a lady in a general hospital.

That kind of life is too boring.

Well, although I am still very strict with my parents now, I will definitely become a doctor in the future, and then take my father's place and become the owner of this hospital.

But at least, at this moment, I'm free on the piano—

I can play whatever I like, without any constraints, and I don't have to care about other people's opinions.

And this is also what Xia You taught me.

I'm thankful to him.

But in the end, let me say one more thing.

I still hate that big idiot the most!

...

Knock knock.

"Xiao Zhen, shall I come in?"

It was Aunt Chihiro's voice.

Listening, I quickly sat up from the bed.

Although my aunt is not an outsider, as the eldest lady of the Nishikino family, she must maintain etiquette at all times.

If you lie lazily in bed, your mother will definitely be angry when you see it.

Then the door was pushed open, and Aunt Chihiro walked in.

"What's the matter? Auntie. I asked, sitting upright.

"Shin-chan, have you forgotten what day it is?" Aunt Chihiro walked over.

"What day?" I asked rhetorically.

Actually, of course, I didn't forget, but I deliberately didn't say it.

Aunt Chihiro seemed to see through my thoughts, and she couldn't laugh or cry a little, shook her head and said:

"Xia Youjun will start working tonight, isn't Xiao Zhen going to take a look?"

“....... Hmph, I'm not going. ”

"Really not going?" Aunt Chihiro asked with a smile on her face.

I hate it, I feel like Aunt Chihiro has become good or bad since she was not a pianist and changed her career to do other things, and she always likes to bully me, which was not like this before.

"If you don't go, you don't go! Who wants to see that guy!"

"Don't you always want to find out why? If you don't say it, you won't understand anything. ”

“....... Not. ”

Of course I know that.

I do have a lot of things I want to ask that guy.

Why did you miss the competition at that time? Why didn't you show up for so many years? Why did you say that you didn't play the piano, and now you run out?!

There were so many questions I wanted to ask, but I didn't want to talk to that guy.

Anyway, that guy doesn't know who I am.

As soon as I remembered the last time I saw that guy in the café, I was furious!

Except for not wearing glasses, there is no change at all from before, they are all the same stupid!

And-

The sound of his piano has not changed.

It was the same as when I first met him many years ago, and it almost made me cry.

Fortunately, I am not the same as I was when I was a child, and I can endure it without crying, otherwise my face will be lost.

But maybe that's not bad, right?

I wonder if he'll give me candy or not?

Ahh

I snorted and tilted my head.

"Anyway, I'm not going!"

"Really~ Then I'll go alone?" Aunt Chihiro said with a slight shrug.

"Go, go, go. ”

Seeing that I waved my hand impatiently, Aunt Chihiro walked out with a smile and closed the door by the way.

A moment later, I heard a slightly heavy door shut.

....... It's really gone.

I immediately regretted it.

Sitting on the bed, I was worried for a long time, and patted my cheek vigorously.

"Ahhh

I wanted to stand up and play the piano to relax, but I also knew that I couldn't calm down to play the piano at the moment, and I was a little helpless.

"I knew it would be like this, so I honestly followed Aunt Chihiro out of the house. ”

I sighed, picked up my phone from the table, flipped to one of the numbers, and called.

Yu sounded for a moment, and then it was connected-

"Moses Moses"

It's been a long time since we've seen each other, but hearing my best friend's voice on the phone still warms me.

I couldn't help but smile, and then said, "Kaoru-chan—"
