053. The speed at which the cherry blossoms fall

Kyoko Kato drove to a rather high-end restaurant nearby, and along the way, several people were silent among themselves.

Kyoko Kato is to concentrate and be happy, Chinatsu Kotofuki is not talkative, and Mahime Nishikino has been playing with the tips of her hair and looking at the scenery outside the car window.

Jiang Yu, on the other hand, simply didn't know what to say, so he had to remain silent in the car.

Ever since Kyoko Kato proposed to "play a tune for a while", Jiang Yu didn't know what to say.

Maintaining a silent atmosphere and getting out of the car, while Kyoko Kato was parking, Kotofuki Chinatsu walked from the parking space to the hotel, probably preparing to order food or something.

And Jiang Yu and Mahime Nishikino were waiting for Kyoko Kato to come out in place.

After parking the car, the three of them walked to the hotel together.

The hotel is a typical Western-style restaurant, and the décor is somewhat similar to Kyoko Kato's café. Also in the center is a stage with a piano on it.

Looking at Jiang Yu's surprised look, Kyoko Kato smiled: "The decoration of my café is imitated here, and it is natural that it looks similar." ”

Hearing this, Jiang Yu nodded clearly, signaling that he understood.

Then several people began to look for the figure of Kotobuki China, and soon, Kato Kyoko found the Hatobuki Chinatsu who was stretching out her hand to greet them not far away.

After going over and sitting down, Kotobuki Chinatsu said, "Since I don't know what you like to eat, I will order something at random, hoping to satisfy your appetite." ”

Kyoko Kato said with a grin: "It's okay, Qianxia you know my taste, Jiang Jun has nothing to taboo, is there anything that Xiao Zhenji doesn't like to eat?" ”

Maki Nishikino shook her head, signaling that there was nothing she didn't like to eat.

By the way, how do you know I don't have any taboos? Jiang Yu pouted.

Taking advantage of the serving, Kyoko Kato consulted the waiter, and got the reply that all the guests here could go up and play, and looked at Jiang Yu with a smile.

Jiang Yu sighed lightly, but still stood up and walked towards the piano on the stage.

Nishikino Mahime watched Jiang Yu walk up to the stage, with curiosity and expectation in her eyes.

For the pianist who is praised by his enlightenment teacher, Maki Nishikino really wants to see it.

And Qinbuki Chixia also watched Jiang Yu's behavior with interest, thinking about what kind of music Jiang Yu would play, whether it was a classic piece or an original piece similar to the Canon Variations that amazed her.

And the other guests in the restaurant also looked curiously at Jiang Yu who walked onto the stage. Although everyone can play the piano here, there are only a few people who can play it and are willing to play it.

At least Rumi Shiraishi, who is a regular customer of this restaurant, has probably seen it no more than five times. And the level of several performers is also uneven, some high and some low.

For Jiang Yu who came on stage, she still had an expectation, thinking about what kind of tracks such a young teenager would play.

Jiang Yu walked to the piano and sat down, holding his breath and looking at the lid with deep eyes.

Today, I suddenly heard Kyoko Kato mention Hayao Miyazaki and Jean Hisaishi, and Jiang Yu thought of Makoto Shinkai + Tianmen, who were regarded as Hayao Miyazaki + Jean Hisaishi in his heart.

The most well-known collaboration between the two is "5 centimeters per second".

Coincidentally, Jiang Yu played and sang a song "One more time, One more chance" to Tsuchima not long ago, in addition to the guitar accompaniment version, there is also a piano pure music version.

After choosing the track, Jiang Yu searched for the information of this song in his mind. After browsing through the score, Jiang Yu opened the lid, put his fair and slender hands on the keys, and gently touched the slightly cool keys.

The next moment, it was as if a spring breeze was blowing, and the cherry blossoms were dancing in the wind, brushing the hair and cheeks.

In the low tone, there is occasionally an accent, and after a few simple cycles, the sound joins together, gently soothing everyone's heart.

Kyoko Kato and Chinatsu Koto's eyes lit up, and there was a sense of satisfaction that the expectation had been achieved. Although I was surprised that Jiang Yu could still come up with original tracks, I already had a feeling that I was not surprised.

Although this time it is not a variation of a famous song, but a completely new one.

Maki Nishikino looked at Jiang Yu playing on stage in surprise, obviously surprised by the playing skills he had shown.

Although she was a little unwilling, Maki Nishikino had to admit that Jiang Yu's performance was indeed a level higher than her.

But this tune ...... Maki Nishikino searched for memories in her head, hoping to find out which song it was.

Although he is not very old, due to his tutoring, he has heard many famous songs since he was a child, and he naturally has a strong interest in them, which is one of the reasons why Nishikino Maki studied piano.

But going through all the tracks in his head, Mahime Nishikino couldn't find a song that fit the key.

So...... Is it non-classical music or an arrangement? Mahime Nishikino twisted the ends of her hair, frowning, guessing uncertainly.

The sound of the piano is getting better, and at the same time, Nishikino Maki also feels more and more panicked in her chest.

Jiang Yu seemed to see the girl with an umbrella, spinning around under the flying cherry blossoms, and made a promise to Guishu with a smile to "see the cherry blossoms together in the coming year".

However, before the two of them is a huge life, and there is still a long time.

Whose boyhood didn't have a love that ended without a problem?

Some of them are like child's play, which they have in frolicking and playing, and they lose them for some reason; Some are cautious, and every time they look at each other, they will immediately stagger in a hurry; Some are just one side, and then disappear into the vast sea of people......

"Now, I heard it's 5 centimeters per second."

"Huh? What?"

"The speed at which the cherry blossoms fall is 5 centimeters per second."

5 centimeters per second does not seem to be very fast, it can even be said to be very slow. People are walking faster than that.

But what if this rate is maintained for 13 years?

20,498.4 kilometers, this distance is exactly the distance of half a circle around the earth, that is, the distance between the South Pole and the North Pole.

The last time Kiki and Akari met at the fork in the road was exactly 13 years.

Maybe it's unintentionally, maybe it's carefully arranged. In any case, Jiang Yu was sincerely impressed by such a coincidence or calculation.

Rumi Shiraishi looked at the dancing hands of the young man on the stage in a daze, and unconsciously, her heart became more and more depressed, wanting to break something and break something.

Then the climax of the piano pulled her, breaking the knot in her own heart with her own hands.

In an instant, all notions of time or space seemed to disappear, and the sadness that swept over overwhelmed the hearts of everyone who listened carefully to the music.

But then, the soft sound of the piano gently brushed through everyone's hearts, slowly reviving the bitter heart washed away by sadness.

This song is never about telling others to be nostalgic for the past, but to exhort you to grasp the present and strive to run towards the future you imagined.

The same is true for the song, without the narration of the lyrics, the simple sound of the piano can arouse the sorrow in people's hearts, weave it into a cocoon, and then break it, so that the undulating heart lake will return to calm, goodbye to the floating light and gold, and the still shadow will sink into the sky.

This is also the reason why Jiang Yu loves this piece so much.
