Her tone was a little hesitant, worried that it would make Xia You unhappy. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"At that time?" Xia You's attention was drawn, and his face was puzzled.

“...... Just four years ago, why were you absent from the Chopin recital?"

After four years, Maki Nishikino finally asked this question that had been bothering her.

She has always wanted to ask, why, at that time, when your dream was already within reach, you had to withdraw from it?

And then it disappears, and even if you meet again, you won't compete in any more races.

Is it true that the piano doesn't mean anything to you?

Hearing this, Xia You was a little surprised, she didn't expect her to ask about this.

But after a little thought, I understood.

When the object of longing suddenly disappears and disappears, anyone will feel at a loss.

Or, you may feel betrayed.

"It turns out that this is the reason why there is always anger in your piano voice?" Xia You thought to himself.

After figuring it out, he felt a little indebted and decided to tell the truth.

"Because, at that time, my mother died. ”

"What?!" Nishikino Maki's eyes shook, "Go, died?"

"Well, I died of illness. ”

"How could it be ......" Maki Nishikino was a little incredulous.

Although she doesn't know the name, she also has a deep impression of Xia You's mother.

Because in those years, his mother would accompany him to every concert Xia You attended.

So every time, Nishikino Mahime would see Natsuyu and his mother holding hands and leaving.

It was a very beautiful guy with beautiful brunette hair.

The eyebrows and eyes are crooked, and he is always full of gentle smiles.

will always hold Xia You in his arms after the piano competition.

For a while, Maki Nishikino fantasized about how nice it would be if this person were her mother.

Because her mother always only asks her to study hard, to be more competitive, and not to lose the face of the Nishiki family.

Gently hugging her or something, basically never ever.

So at that time, Nishikino Mahime, in addition to longing for Xia You, actually had a little jealousy.

But, that person, did he pass away?

How so......

Maki Nishikino was a little sluggish.

After a while, she came back to her senses, realized that she shouldn't have brought up such a thing, and quickly apologized. "I'm sorry!"

Xia You waved his hand, "It's okay, it's already in the past." ”

His tone was barely strong, but it was lighthearted.

After a pause, Xia You continued: "At that time, because my mother died, I didn't go to the Chopin Music Competition. ”

Although he was already in Germany at the time, in the end, he did not make it to the match and hid in his hotel room.

However, after his father came to pick him up in person, he returned to Japan.

"After that, that's what you know, Mahime. Xia You said.

Due to his unexcused absence from the Chopin Music Competition, it also caused considerable controversy at the time, even the Xia family.

Many elders didn't understand Xia You's approach.

In their opinion, Xia You gave up his supposed brilliant future for the sake of an outsider, which is simply unreasonable.

Yes, outsiders.

Until her death, Xia You's mother was not recognized by the Xia family.

In fact, the person who was originally scheduled to marry her father was not her, but the daughter of another chaebol.

But after a trip, my father suddenly brought back a girl and told the elders of the family that he must marry her.

And that girl is Xia You's mother, Aragaki Aoku.

There is no need to repeat the intermediate process, at the insistent request of his father, he finally married his mother and gave birth to Xia You.

These things were all told to Xia You by my father intermittently in the years after my mother's death.

But my mother's status has not been recognized, and I feel that she is just an outsider.

It is also because of this that after the death of his mother, Xia You did not go to the competition, which made the people of the family feel incomprehensible.

and quickly asked his father, who had taken over as the head of the Xia family at that time, to remarry, but because of his longing for his mother, his father ignored this request and remained single for more than four years, and did not get married until a few months ago.

The marriage partner is a strong woman in the business world with a daughter.

And this is also the reason why Natsuyu moved to Chiba alone.

"That's why you've disappeared for more than four years......"

Nishikino Mahime finally understood, and felt distressed about it, feeling sorry for the young man in front of him, who was obviously the same age as himself, but had to bear so much sadness.

In this regard, Xia You saw it, and he nodded, "Hmm." ”

"Then Xia Youjun, aren't you planning to participate in piano competitions anymore?" asked Mahime Nishikino with lowered her eyes.

"Well, if there are no special circumstances, I probably won't participate again, sorry. Xia You scratched his hair and said apologetically.

Maki Nishikino shook her head, "Well, you don't have to apologize to me. ”

She clenched her hands slightly, "The one who should apologize is me...... I don't know anything, but I still secretly complain about why you don't show up. It's so self-righteous. ”

Seeing this, Xia You couldn't help laughing, her fingers flicked her forehead, and she looked at her in a little pain.

"Fool, don't think so much, we didn't know each other at that time, and it's normal that you don't know. ”

"But ......"

Xia You smiled, "Although I don't plan to participate in piano competitions again, it doesn't mean that I don't have other things I want to do." No, I should say, there are so many things I want to do. ”

Hearing this, Nishikino Mahime's cyanotic eyes finally showed relief. "That's ......"

Although she has a little regret that Xia You does not become a pianist, she still hopes that Xia You can have a happy time.

"What about you, Mahime, are you planning to continue competing and become a pianist?" asked Natsuyo curiously.

Maki Nishikino shook her head, "No, I should continue to participate in the competition, but I don't plan to be a pianist. I want to be a doctor. ”

As she spoke, a smile finally appeared on her face. Very cute.

"Doctor?" Xia You was slightly surprised.

But when he thought about it, it was normal, after all, Nishikino Mahime's parents were the director of Nishikino General Hospital.

Influenced by her parents, it is not surprising that she wants to become a doctor.

So Xia You smiled: "It's also good." ”

"Also-" After a slight pause in his tone, Maki Nishikino smiled and said, "And idols!"

"Idol?" Xia You's eyes were stunned, and then he remembered that Nishikino Maki had promised to join the muse before, and he couldn't help but smile, "Really? I'm looking forward to it." ”

In the muse, there are the three southern birds he is familiar with.

There are also Koizumi Hanayo and Starry Sky Rin, who met Koizumi Hanari last time, and Eri Ayase, who was actually a very good person despite his conflicts, and Nozomi Tojo, who also watched the concert together in the morning.

With these people by his side, Natsuyo believes that Nishikino Mahime will definitely become an excellent idol.

"Hmm...... Thank you. Nishikino's cheeks were crimson, as if she was hesitating to say something, but she didn't look too embarrassed.

In the end, as if she had made a decision, she clenched her fists and suddenly raised her head to look at Xia You.

The cyanotic eyes were serious, and people couldn't move away.

"Over the years, I've been longing for you Xia Youjun, but this time-"

The tips of her ears were flushed red, as if she was about to faint, but she still spoke desperately.

"I want you to dream of me!"

Hearing this, even if Xia You is sluggish and inexperienced, he knows what kind of feelings the girl in front of him has.

He opened his mouth to say something, but he was speechless, and finally turned into a smile and whispered, "I've dreamed of it." ”

"Hmm, what did you say, Natsu-kun?" Nishikino Mahime didn't hear clearly.

Xia You touched his nose and was a little embarrassed, "Hmm, it's nothing." ”

At this time, he suddenly noticed something, and said in a surprised tone: "Ah, speaking of the truth, you don't have love in you anymore." ”

"Hmm, really?"

After Xia You's reminder, Nishikino Mahime was pleasantly surprised to find that the love that had been surrounding him had disappeared since then.

It made her feel so happy.

In fact, whether it was at the concert or when she came here just now, she was surrounded by a lot of love all the time.

Fortunately, Xia Yu was very gentle and didn't ask it, otherwise Nishikino Mahime wouldn't know how to explain it well.

Now, these loves are gone, which makes her feel at ease.

"By the way, what are those loves?" asked Xia You.

He had already asked once before going to the concert, but he was prevaricated by Nozomi Tojo at the time.

Later, although he was still very confused, but seeing that Nishikino Mahime and the two had no intention of explaining, Xia You could only endure it and not ask.

"Actually, I don't know. Maki Nishikino smiled wryly.

"You don't know either?" Xia You looked confused, and said in his heart that you don't know, how did you get it?

"Hmm, this is probably a prank by the gods, right?" said Nishikino Mahime with a smile.

"God-sama's prank?" Xia You became more and more confused the more he listened.

"Hmm!"

Maki Nishikino suddenly realized something.

Just like Sister Xi said, perhaps, the gods really fulfilled the wish she made at the shrine, and maybe.

It's just a bit of a bad idea.

Now that the wish has come true, those loves are gone.

Instead, the bond of affection does exist between her and Xia You.
