"Why me?" An invitation from a piano maestro didn't make Hotaru overwhelmed with joy, instead she hesitated for a moment and then asked Yoshiko with a wink. As a talented girl who has been in contact with the piano circle since she was a child, she knows very well what the name of the piano master and the name of Fuyuma Yaoko means, but it is precisely because she knows it that she is puzzled.

An internationally renowned pianist like Yaozi, as long as she announces the acceptance of apprentices, then compared to geniuses from all over the world who will rush to worship her disciples, compared to those people, Hotaru's qualifications may only be considered ordinary, so if it is Yaozi who sees Hunting Xinxi, it will inevitably be a little too exalted herself, so the only reason that Hotaru can think of is only Winter Horse...... But that's exactly what Hotaru is most reluctant to accept.,It's good to say she's naïve or whatever.,When she first helped Fuyuma, Hotaru didn't intend to get anything out of her.,And now this idea is even more ingrained.。

"Don't be so nervous~~" It seemed to see through the thoughts in Hotaru's heart, Yaozi, she smiled and waved her hand to signal that the other party didn't have to be too nervous, and then put a hand on the piano, as if caught in some kind of memory, her eyes looked into the distance and said softly, "Although I said that I want to accept you as a disciple, there is a reason for Hesha, but this only accounts for a small part, I say so, do you understand?" Actually...... The main thing is that when I see you, I somehow think of me when I was younger. ”

"Huh?" Yaozi's answer made Hotaru fall into deep confusion for a while, although she had heard some piano music from the other party's hand, but she couldn't mention understanding at all, and now she said that Hotaru would feel confused and natural.

"Don't look at me like that, I was much worse off when I was studying in Vienna than you are now." The corners of Yoshiko's mouth raised a soft smile at some point, which made Hotaru inevitably lose her mind for a while, before this girl could never have imagined that this capable-looking woman would show such an expression, and even from the few words she learned from Fuyuma, she had rarely heard her say that her mother was a gentle woman, on the contrary, her superb piano skills and the same clever business methods coupled with a chaotic private life were the most often mentioned by Fuyuma.

Ignoring the stunned look on Fuyuma's face, Yaoko, who had fallen into the memory, said there with a sense of nostalgia, "I was as old as you back then...... No, maybe a little smaller. At that time, I had a falling out with my family, so I only had a little money with me and ran away to Vienna to find a place to learn piano. However, at that time, the language barrier was not good, and I didn't have much money, let alone learning the piano, and it was difficult to even live, but I didn't think that I could do almost anything to learn the piano.

For example, sleeping with the instructor and sleeping with the person in charge of the theater was almost commonplace, and I remember spending a while in different men's beds except for practicing hard, and now I think about the reason why I ran away from home because I didn't want to marry a man I didn't know, and then I had to rely on all kinds of men to survive. ”

Although I roughly guessed that Yaozi's early experience would be very unusual, but Hotaru didn't expect it to be like this anyway, which made her who thought her private life was bold enough to stick out her tongue, and if she thought about it, she would have given up a long time ago, but she didn't understand why Yaoko told her this, probably even Fuyuma hadn't heard such an old thing, right?

"Ah, look at me, now that I'm older, it's endless...... talking about the things before" Yaozi, who came back to her senses a little, saw Hotaru's expression that didn't know how to answer at all, and laughed out loud, sure enough, she was not mistaken, she was indeed a good child, "I actually want to say, the place where I lived at that time was not much different from what you are here now, a small room that is not big and messy, but only the piano is well maintained~~"

"That's why Aunt Yaozi, do you want to take me as an apprentice!!" Hearing Yaozi say this, Hotaru was instantly relieved, if Yaozi saw the shadow of her youth from her, then everything can be explained, right! And from the simple memories just now, Hotaru can be said to be in awe of the woman in front of her...... Only as a woman can she understand how much Yaozi paid at the beginning.

"That's just one aspect, as for the rest...... That's a long story, do you want to hear it? This can't be regarded as a question at all, just looking at Hotaru's impatient nodding can tell that she will never let go of this opportunity to gossip, Yaozi is only a little fond of this smile and continues to say,

"When I was in Vienna for about four or five years, I started to make a name for myself. Although I am not famous, at least I don't have to rely on men to climb up a little bit like I did back then, and because of this, I have some free time to come out.

You don't know that at that time, Europe still maintained some of the traditions of the past, such as various salons and drinking parties, and only by attending such places could you gradually get acquainted with the upper class. At first, I was involved as someone else's mistress, but gradually I was able to get all kinds of invitations based on my own fame, sometimes as a guest but more often as a pianist at a cocktail party. And that guy and I met at a drinking party......

At that time, although I no longer needed to rely on men, I ...... How so? It's been a long time since I've been so ridiculous, and I'm going to be a little uncomfortable after I regain my calm......" There was a rare hint of self-deprecation on his face at the mention of this Yaozi, probably because he felt helpless when he was young, "So I continue to keep in touch with those guys who are useful to me in this way, but occasionally I will go to some men that I can look at, and that guy has been sure since I first saw him...... I like him. ”

He ...... Is it Xiao Hehe's father? "It almost doesn't take too much guesswork to understand just the gentleness that Yaozi exudes when he mentions him, so almost as soon as the words come out, Hotaru feels that his problem is really stupid. Yaozi didn't answer this, but just continued to take care of himself,

"He was unlike any man I had ever met, a little decadent, a little dull but a gentleman, and I could tell that he had a lot of knowledge, whether it was astronomy, music, or art. You don't know, when I saw that melancholy smile, I knew I was hooked on you, and that was such a good man...... Unfortunately, he was already married, and although his wife had just passed away at that time, she left him with two children. ”

"So ......"

"So I lied to him to sleep several times, it's rare to meet a good man, wouldn't it be a loss not to do it with him a few times~~ And I'm pregnant with his child, although I guess he doesn't know that he and I have a child~~" Speaking of this, Yaozi winked playfully at Hotaru, what's the matter, isn't she exactly taking what Hotaru just said and using it!

And Hotaru suddenly understood something, thinking carefully that she was too similar to the original Yaozi now, and even the decision she made was ......

Thinking of this, Hotaru suddenly showed a rather bright smile about her future, and Ye Yu, who had gone to prepare tea at this time, happened to come back, and was completely confused about the very inexplicable atmosphere between the two of them...... (To be continued.) )
