Chapter 69: The Two or Three Things of Mahime (Part II)

When Xia You sat in front of the piano and played the first note, he became the dream of my life. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

That might seem like an exaggeration, right?

But it's true.

The sound of his piano was different from what I had heard before, and what the people who attended this presentation played.

The melody is simple and bright, and just listening to it, you can see the blooming summer flower garden in front of you, like a thin cloud covering the sun, sprinkling light and shadow all over the sky.

To this day, I can still vividly recall the melody of that time, and that indescribable feeling penetrated deep into my heart.

It wasn't until later that I learned the title of the piece -- it was Mozart Piano Sonata K331.

This piece is very cheerful under his playing.

"I like to play the piano the most" and "I play it for important people", and so on, and so on, and I keep passing on my feelings, and every note seems to be beating.

When the piano music ended, the colorful notes in front of me slowly dissipated, and I couldn't hold back my mood anymore, tears welled up, and the feelings overflowing in my chest exploded in one breath.

In front of everyone, I burst into tears.

Xia You, who was about to step down, also became a little overwhelmed because I suddenly cried.

Maybe in his eyes, I, the girl who cried inexplicably, was very strange.

But Xia You didn't leave, but scratched his head, walked over to me, took out a piece of candy from his pocket and gave it to me, and his immature tone was slightly confused, "Here you go, don't cry." ”

And when I saw him do this, I couldn't help but cry even louder.

Hehe, it's really useless.

I was at that time.

But now, looking back, I don't feel ashamed, but I'm a little happy to hear music like this.

Xia You, who was only seven years old, made me understand what the joy of music is.

Tell me, this is it.

I also want to play the piano like him.

I want someone I have never met to be moved from the bottom of my heart after listening to the playing.

Even after all these years, I think that if I go back to that time and listen to him play the piano again, maybe I will still be embarrassed and cry.

In the end, I only won the second prize at that presentation.

From the perspective of a sophomore, it is already very impressive to be able to win an award among many senior students.

But I wasn't very happy.

Because it was Xia You who won the presentation.

He's the same age as me, but he's able to win over so many great people.

This made me admire and be a little jealous in my childhood.

Although I really wanted to get to know him, but because of the sense of inferiority in my heart, I couldn't talk to Xia You in the end, just looked at him and walked towards another person with a smile-

That must be his mother.

She was very beautiful, with a smile on her face, and opened her hands to hold Xia You into her arms.

Seeing this scene, I couldn't raise my head even more.

Because my mother would never do that, the only thing she would do was to educate me to be a good daughter worthy of my family's background.

Perhaps sensing my gaze, Aunt Chihiro, who brought me to the presentation as a caretaker at the time, gently stroked my head.

"Little Mahime, you've done a great job. ”

"But I didn't win, and I cried in shame. ”

I thought Aunt Chihiro would laugh at me if I said that.

But she didn't, but smiled, "It's not a shame to listen to that kid's performance and cry." ”

“...... Is that so?"

"Yes, because that kid really likes the piano, does little Mahime like it too?"

"I like it!"

I nodded heavily.

Only this, no matter what happens, I can answer with certainty.

"Then go ahead and learn the piano. Aunt Chihiro encouraged me.

"Hmm!"

I smiled and nodded.

At that time, I thought that my parents would support me to continue learning piano, after all, they let me learn piano in the first place.

But, I was wrong.

Actually, they don't like piano, and the reason why I was asked to learn it was just to add a layer of aura to the identity of "Miss General Hospital", and because Aunt Chihiro is a pianist, so it is convenient to teach me.

When I learned that I only won the second prize at the presentation, my parents who didn't come because of work showed obvious disappointment on their faces.

Yes, disappointed.

Then my mother said: "It doesn't matter if you don't win, it's a big deal that we don't learn piano, as long as Xiao Zhen can maintain the first place in school." ”

Dad chimed in, "Yes, there's no point in learning piano or anything, studying hard and then becoming a doctor is what you should do." ”

Listening to them, I felt like a huge stake was stuck in my chest, and it hurt so much that I wanted to cry.

With tears pouring out, for the first time in my life, I became angry with my parents and yelled that I must continue to learn piano no matter what.

And my reaction also made my parents stunned.

In their eyes, I have always been that very obedient daughter, but I never thought that I would become like this, and I would learn to be angry with my parents.

My father, who felt that he was offended by his majesty, was furious afterwards and threatened to never let me learn piano again.

And Mom stood by and watched.

In the end, it was Aunt Chihiro who spoke for me, and I was able to continue my piano studies.

It's just that you have to make sure that your grades don't drop and stay in the top three in the whole grade, otherwise Dad will take back this permission.

It's hard work, but after redoubling your efforts, you can still do it.

Since then, under the guidance of Aunt Chihiro, I have begun to study piano in earnest, and have participated in many professional competitions in Japan, and have won many prizes.

It's just-

But whenever Xia You shows up, I can't always win against him.

That guy is just like the first time we met, he's amazing, no matter what song he plays, it's super good!

And that guy doesn't remember me at all, obviously we only met before, and he gave me candy at the time, did you forget it so quickly, it's really infuriating!

Several times I tried to say hello to him, but he walked over as if he hadn't seen anything.

What, what, what!

It's annoying enough!

So I made up my mind to study the piano harder.

One day you must beat him in the game, and then go up to him and say-

Don't you remember me anymore? Hmph, it's okay if you don't, now that you remember, I'm the one who defeated you!

This fantasy makes me work harder and harder.

It's just that guy doesn't seem to have limits, and every time I feel like I've gotten a lot better, and when I go to a competition, I find that he's also gotten better.

So, embarrassed by myself, I chased this guy for seven years, and I didn't even beat him once.

Yes, not once.

It's embarrassing, right?

But I'm not discouraged.

Because in the process of chasing Xia You, I have left behind many people who were originally better than me.

Gradually, I've won very, very many awards, and I've become just like that guy, a piano genius.

At that time, I felt that I was getting close to Xia You, and it would not be long before I could get to his side, right?

Maybe I still can't beat that guy, but I'm finally qualified to talk to him and tell him how hard I've worked over the years and how much I hate him.

However,

Scenes like those in fantasy will never come

Because, he's gone.
