After inquiring clearly, as Xia You expected, the middle-aged clerk was indeed here to deliver the goods, and the truck was loaded with the recording equipment he bought in the afternoon. After that, it's pretty simple.

Xia You, as the owner of the villa area, naturally has the right to let the security guard let him go, so the truck went straight to the villa, and then the middle-aged clerk unloaded the equipment from the car one by one and moved into the house.

Xia You saw that he was tired and sweating, and wanted to pour a glass of water to let him rest, but he was politely refused.

After confirming that the number of goods was correct, the middle-aged clerk bowed and left.

"The service attitude of the Japanese is really rigorous enough. ”

Xia You shrugged, didn't think much about it, and snapped the door back.

He then began to disassemble the equipment that had been moved into the house, ready to start recording music later.

Of course, considering the limited physical strength of one person, Xia You only took out the equipment that he could use tonight, and asked them to help after everyone came over tomorrow.

After some hard work, he finally got all the recording equipment on the piano.

"Huh......" Xia You stood up straight, he pulled his clothes, most of them were soaked with sweat, "I'm tired, let's take a shower first!"

After speaking, Xia You went upstairs and went back to the room to get a change of clothes.

But before going downstairs, he first glanced into Shiina Mashiro's room, and Naniko went back to the room immediately after eating, and as a result, she was still immersed in her creation, and it seemed that she was not affected by the sound of him moving the equipment downstairs just now.

"I really like comics enough......"

Xia You admired him, even if he liked to write, it would be difficult for him to write without distractions all the time, and occasionally he would desert.

Without disturbing Shiina Mashiro's creation, he silently retreated, then took his clothes and went downstairs to take a bath in the bathroom.

Fifteen minutes later......

Xia You walked out of the bathroom, and after drying his hair with a hair dryer, he pulled out a chair and sat down in front of the piano, ready to start recording the song.

As for the song to be recorded first, he had already decided on it, it was "Pure Land of Bliss".

After all, "Pure Land of Bliss" is about the competition of the Muses in the LoveLive regional competition in October, so it is better to finish the recording as soon as possible and take it over early for them to start practicing.

However, before starting to record, Xia You still needs to practice his touch, he hasn't played the piano for a long time, and he is a little rusty.

"Hmm, what kind of tune should I play......

Xia You thought about it for a while and got a good idea, still the same as before, playing his best Mozart K331.

Taking a deep breath, he tapped the keys with both hands and began to play with a thud.

The melodious sound of the piano was pleasant to the ears, and it spread throughout the living room in an instant.

Although he hadn't played the piano for a long time, Xia You quickly got used to it after more than ten years of long-term practice, and he became more and more comfortable playing the piano with his fingers.

At this moment, a slender girl in a white dress suddenly appeared on the edge of the stairs, holding a notebook and pencil in her arms, and her phoenix eyes were as clear as water, looking directly at Xia You who was playing the piano.

This girl is none other than Shiina Mashiro.

Then she walked down the wooden staircase barefoot, feeling cold, and the knee-high white skirt swayed.

"Huh?"

Although Xia Yu played very seriously, after all, he was only practicing his hands, so he didn't pay too much attention, so he quickly noticed Shiina Mahaku walking down the stairs, and his hand couldn't help but pause.

"True, what's wrong?"

"Brother is playing the piano. Shiina Mahaku blinked, and she walked over slowly with a notebook in her arms.

Although it was still a bull's head and a horse's mouth, Xia You was used to this style of dialogue, so he smiled and nodded: "Well, I haven't played the piano for a long time." ”

As he was talking, he scratched his head as if he realized something, and asked, "Ah, Zhenbai, did I make you make a noise about painting?"

"It's not. Shiina Makoshi shook his head slightly, and then pursed his pink lips: "I like to listen to my brother play the piano." She whispered, as if revealing some very important secret.

"Really?" Xia You was slightly surprised when he heard this.

Because Shiina Mashiro said this, it seems that he has heard him play the piano for a long time, but Xia Yu remembers that since this Niko came over, he didn't seem to have played the piano at home once, and only played once at that café when he went on a Disney date with Mahime before.

But Xia You didn't think much about it, and said with a smile: "Since you like it, then sit down and listen." ”

"Hmm. ”

Shiina Mahaku Nono nodded, and then she came to the sofa and sat down, curled up like a little milk cat, her hands wrapped around her knees, her bare feet were white and delicate, and every toe was crystal like jade, and she looked very cute.

Seeing this, Xia You thought about it and wanted to get up and open the refrigerator, poured a glass of milk out, and heated it in the microwave and handed it over: "Oh, it's really white, drink it slowly." ”

It's been raining too much lately, and it's a little cold, plus I'm wearing very little of this girl, and I'm not wearing socks, so it's not good if I catch a cold.

"Uh-huh......" Shiina Mahaku took a sip of hot milk in both hands, white vapor filling the tip of her nose.

After raising his hand and rubbing her hair, Xia You sat back in front of the piano, ready to continue practicing, he was ready to wait for the feeling to adjust to the best state before starting to record "Pure Land of Bliss".

But this time, he didn't plan to play Mozart K331 again, so he had to change the tune.

"But what kind of tune do you want to change......

Xia You muttered to herself.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he remembered a very good song, which happened to have not been played for a long time, and it would be good to revisit it.

After making up his mind, Xia You's clean and slender palms returned to the piano keys, and his fingertips were quietly pressed, and a melodious prelude to the piano immediately rang out, echoing in the living room.

The prelude melody of this piece is full of gentleness and tenderness, but it also reveals a touch of sadness, which can refresh people's souls.

Shiina Mashiro has never been a very emotional person, or she doesn't understand people's feelings very well, so most of the time, she maintains an indifferent and ethereal appearance.

can listen to Xia You's performance, but Shiina Mashiro can clearly understand the sadness in the song.

Closing her eyes and imagining, she only felt that a deep winter night appeared in front of her, the treetops were dry and shaped, the streets were quietly empty, and the thin snow like flowers was slowly falling, and there was only a pair of footprints on the thick snow, extending towards the unknown distance.

This piece is called "lost my pieces", and the composer is Yukari Hashimoto, a former Japanese ACG musician, and this piece can be listed as one of her masterpieces in her decades-long compositional career.

And this song, which is also the classic BGM of "Dragon and Tiger", has appeared many times in the play, and has been rated by many people as 'dare not listen to the series' because it can create a strong tear-jerking atmosphere every time.

Xia You was also deeply moved by this piece in his previous life, so he specially searched for the score, and it took a lot of time for him to finally be able to play it proficiently.

Although he has never played this piece since he crossed over, after a long time, he still does not feel rusty, but because the more things he has experienced, the more he can play the emotions in the song.

With Xia Yu's performance, Shiina Mashiro was already completely immersed in the rhyme, holding hot milk in her hand, and her face slowly showed a relaxed look.

When she was upstairs just now, Shiina Mahaku sent the outline of the manga she had written to Ayano Iida to read.

Iida Ayano said that she wrote well this time, but the story was too close to a youth comedy, and the appearance of many characters made the love between the male and female protagonists too weak, which was not conducive to her competition in the newcomer award.

To this end, Ayano Iida suggested that she enhance the love element of the story.

But Shiina Mashiro didn't understand what love was, so he asked her, and the explanation given by Ayano was-

"Well, love is when you want to be close to someone, and when you are around him, you feel very happy and happy, but sometimes you are a little nervous and overwhelmed."

When listening to Ayano's words, Shiina Mashiro felt that it was so difficult to understand, and he really couldn't understand it.

But now, she suddenly understands a little, and feels that as long as she sits here and looks at the clean boy who is playing the piano, she can gradually understand what love is.

Listening to the sound of the piano, Shiina Mahaku's fingers moved unconsciously, as if he was playing the piano.

In fact, Shiina did learn piano, although not for long...... That was when she was a kid.

I remember that at that time, while she was immersed in painting, she was taken by her mother to watch a piano performance competition, where many people of her age appeared.

In this regard, the young Shiina Mashiro didn't care at all, although her eyes were watching them play, but the people on the stage didn't enter her eyes at all, and what she was looking at seemed to be in another world.

But this situation suddenly changed after seeing the young man who appeared in the finale.

The boy was a little nervous, but it didn't affect his playing in the slightest, and the music he played was colorful, like a palette of colors......

For the first time, in addition to painting, there was a voice that could convey into Shiina Mashiro's almost completely closed inner world.

At the same time, it was also the first time that Shiina Mashiro became interested in things other than painting.

She wanted to learn the piano, and wanted to know why the music played by that person was so colorful and so colorful that her heartstrings were fluttering.

But after asking her mother, Shiina Mahaku found that she couldn't learn the piano at all, and she had a rare reputation as a genius in painting, but she couldn't even press the most basic keys steadily...... She seems to have a rare talent for the piano.

Then her mother said to her, then concentrate on learning painting, painting and music are both arts, they are the same origin, as long as she keeps painting, one day she will be able to understand the sound of that person's piano.

So Mahaku insisted on painting.

Even if there are many, many people who studied painting with her at the beginning have gradually left, even if she is always alone, she is still painting, because she hopes to go to that person's side one day.

Now, her little wish has finally come true......

"Brother......" looked at Xia You, Shiina Mashiro gradually showed a smile, although the smile was shallow and thin, and she would ignore the past if she didn't pay attention to it, but it was as beautiful as thousands of cherry blossoms blooming on her face.
