Tradition is a very broad concept, and at the same time, it is a concept that has almost no sense of existence in modern cognition, and few people can say exactly what the origin of something in life is.

And traditional culture, even more so.

In this world, the thousand-year-old country that stands in the east has not experienced a series of foreign wars of aggression in the last world since the end of the Qing Dynasty, and after the turn of history, there will be no turmoil that makes all cultural people in later generations feel sad, and the preservation of traditional culture is much better than that of the previous world.

But it's just that it's a lot better.

In terms of culture, Japan, which has the same roots as China, is like the previous world, and the various cultures that it learned from the Celestial Empire from the Tang Dynasty have been passed down over the years and are a little more complete than those of its "suzerain".

For example, tea ceremony, archery, and even clothing and etiquette. In addition, there is probably Japanese, which can be regarded as a birth from Chinese characters, but in the end it has developed its own unique style.

Just like for the sister control, where can the lethality of the word "brother" compare to "Ernie sauce"?

Cough...... That's the end of the gossip. It is precisely because Japanese was born from Chinese characters and benefited from the strength of China that the relationship between the two countries in this world is much more harmonious than in the previous world. This also leads to the fact that in Japan, there are more people who can understand Chinese than in the previous world.

Even though the most common language in the world is English, the government of the island country has also asked each high school to offer Chinese courses. Of course, for some reason, it is only open to high school students as an elective course. The university has a dedicated department of Chinese language and literature.

Asakawa is such a Japanese college student who admires Chinese culture.

He didn't want to come here today, after all, he didn't have a passion for piano or anything. But in the end, he couldn't resist his girlfriend's coquettish offensive, and in the end he still got rid of his friend who was playing games at night, and followed his girlfriend to this café he had never been to before.

From the beginning, Asakawa had a chatty expression, but looking at his girlfriend's intoxicated appearance, he couldn't say anything, only silently playing with his mobile phone and drinking coffee.

When Jiang Yu began to sing the song "When the Cherry Blossoms Fly", which was quite popular when he was a child, he put down his phone for the first time, supported his head with one hand, and looked at the pianist on the stage.

Many times, when the songs you listened to in elementary or middle school are remembered again in your ears, it is difficult for you not to think of the ignorant age and the group of friends who laughed and played wildly.

It was not too early to take a look, and Asakawa who was about to pull his girlfriend away after listening to this song, suddenly heard the pianist on the stage, halfway through singing, suddenly changed to Chinese, and the sense of surprise in his heart was really difficult to accurately describe in words.

Asakawa, who was a little curious in his heart, naturally listened carefully, and until Jiang Yu finished singing, he didn't change his posture at all, and he kept such a slightly sluggish expression and movements.

After chewing on the lyrics he had just heard a few times in his heart, Asakawa compared them to some of the old songs he had heard before, and he always felt that there was an inexplicable charm in them, not quite like the lyrics were written by casually stacking some flowery words...... It's as if there's a story in it.

……

Jiang Yu on the stage, naturally he didn't know that because of his whim, he actually caused so many sighs from one person. After this song was sung, he was not going to sing any new songs.

In the following time, the activities have been carried out in an orderly manner, and the atmosphere of the scene has been maintained, and there has been no cold scene or anything. This made Jiang Yu refresh his understanding of the ability of the girl Megumi Kato.

"So, that's the end of today's event, thank you for your support, and we'll meet again."

The bob-headed girl stood on the stage generously, and said to the guests in the audience with a much more proficient host tone than at the beginning.

Jiang Yu saw the other party's appearance, and suddenly thought: It's not that she can't communicate, and it's not that she can't host...... I haven't participated in this kind of activity before, and I always feel that it is because the other party is afraid of trouble or is willing to keep a low-key and ordinary appearance?

Such a strange thought flashed through his mind, Jiang Yu stood up with a smile on his face, bowed to the audience around him, and then turned to leave.

Walking straight to the locker room, Jiang Yu changed his clothes, carried a paper bag containing work clothes, and walked to Kato Kyoko's office.

In the office, it was Kyoko Kato, who was sitting on a chair on the ground.

Jiang Yu bowed to the other party and said with a light smile: "Tonight...... It was a bit unexpected, but it was also quite a fun night, so thank you Kato-sangaku! ”

Kyoko Kato waved her hand, signaling that Jiang Yu didn't have to be so polite. Then, I saw her looking up and down at the young man standing in place with interest, and let out a sigh of praise from time to time.

After all, he had been with the other party for about a month, and Jiang Yu understood why the other party made such a gesture. After thinking about it, Jiang Yu shrugged his shoulders, smiled, and said: "If Kato-san wants to ask about the music that appears tonight, you don't have to, I have recorded all of these at the piano blowing teacher, and if Kato-san wants a studio version, you can directly ask your good girlfriend for it." ”

Hearing this, Kyoko Kato sighed suddenly, and responded a little helplessly: "You...... Do you really have to be a game designer? At your current level, you can live on this craft for the rest of your life. ”

Jiang Yu was silent for a moment, and said with a firm face: "If I don't even have the courage to fight for my dreams, then I can be considered ...... in vain."

It's time to live again.

Of course, Jiang Yu didn't say the last half of the sentence. However, Kato Kyoko automatically made up for the unfinished meaning of Jiang Yu's sentence, which is nothing more than "living up to your youth" and "wasting a good time" and the like.

Well, I always feel that middle school students all over the world, if they all look at it according to this standard, then it is called disappointing youth, right?

Kyoko Kato rubbed her eyebrows, frowned and said, "Really resigned?" Not coming again? ”

"Really resigned. Will come back, but as a guest. When the time comes, Kato Sanko will look at the old employees and give me a discount when I pay. ”

"Ah, this, it's easy to say, I'll give you a 12% discount when the time comes."

"This ......"

"Poofha-alright, let's go back, bastard!"

“…… (smiles) then I will take my leave. ”

As he spoke, Jiang Yu bowed deeply, as if to express all his gratitude. Then he stood up and left the office.

Kyoko Kato looked at the closed door, and there seemed to be reluctance in her eyes, but more than that, it was a heartfelt expectation.
