At half past ten in the evening, Hikaru Kurosawa took an envelope and left the upscale apartment on his way home.

It didn't take long for him to get on the tram and take out his phone to look at it.

There was a message in the group chat, which was sent by Miss Runa at 4 p.m.

Runa: "At zero hour, the organizer of a piano competition contacted me and asked you to end the competition as a special guest, are you interested?" ”

Zero: "When?" ”

Runa: "Monday next month." ”

Zero: "So fast? ”

Chizuru: "Next Tuesday is the final exam, and he still has to prepare for it." ”

Obviously, even if she was busy preparing for next week's final exams, Chizuru Ninomiya couldn't sit still.

Runa: "I know, Chizuru, don't worry, I went to ask about this game, and I thought about it carefully, and I think this game should not be missed." ”

Zero: "Why?" ”

Runa: "At present, the identity of Zero Hour, who became famous on Youtobe and accumulated a lot of fans, many fans introduced yourself in Japanese and touted you as the first pianist in neon.

There are a lot of people who are dissatisfied with this statement, causing controversy, and they are not convinced by you, but it doesn't matter...... But because you've been a hot topic lately, your fame is climbing rapidly, and you're favored by Kawai.

Kawai is one of the top 10 pianos in the world and the only top-quality piano produced in neon.

They hold various competitions every year to build momentum and publicity for the piano, and also to cultivate talents.

And Monday is the neon regional finals of this year's junior competition, which has a lot of influence and high exposure. If you play Croatian Rhapsody at the end of the curtain, you may be able to use this as a springboard to soar into the sky and become the idol of the new generation of young piano students. ”

As an agent, Runa Igarashi is very good at packaging and operation, and has a vicious eye for judging various events and stages, as well as programs.

It is precisely because of this invitation that she decided to put forward this invitation after learning the truth.

According to the original plan, the first concert of Zero Hour was to continue to upload piano songs on Youtobe, and more than 10 pieces will be held again to build momentum and publicity for the piano album.

But the plan can't keep up with the changes, and her intuition is very strong, and this opportunity is a good opportunity not to be missed.

"What time do I show up?"

Hikaru Kurosawa realized what was involved in this tournament, and he was also a little moved.

Runa: "Between 8 and 9 p.m., when the last contestant finishes his performance, you come on as a special guest and play a song to close the competition. And bless the piano students of Neon, I hope they can do well in the Asian competition. ”

"I'm not going to show up."

Kurosawa felt that there were some things that had to be clarified first.

If the organizers wanted him to show up, he would never have agreed.

Runa sent an OK expression, and then sent a message: "Don't worry, I've already negotiated this matter with them, they are very sincere, they wanted you to be the guest of honor at the opening ceremony at first, but I said that you can't spare time, and you won't have time until the evening, so it was changed to the end." ”

"Come on." Seeing this, Chizuru Ninomiya realized that this was not an ordinary game, and it was no longer blocked.

"Then it's decided."

Hikaru Kurosawa saw that she also agreed, and immediately agreed.

Runa Igarashi, who was at home, was also a little excited when she saw this:

"At zero hour, if you can wow the audience in this game, my intuition tells me that kawai is likely to choose you as a spokesperson because of this performance, and it will definitely be a top win-win cooperation."

"No problem."

Kurosawa Hikaru could feel her excitement between the lines, and she also played a package ticket.

He has absolute confidence in his own form.

"Since it's decided, I'll go to Kawai's company tomorrow to discuss it in detail, and after finalizing the matter, I'll start to publicize it."

Runa decided to mobilize her own resources to contribute to this competition, which will definitely be a win-win cooperation and event.

After arranging the itinerary for next Monday, Hikaru Kurosawa switched to Chizuru Ninomiya's chat page.

"Done?"

"How can it be busy, there are still many things to prepare."

"Can you come and see me perform next Monday?"

For the first public performance, Hikaru Kurosawa would love to see her.

After all, his piano skills were only obtained from dating her, which shows that she likes the piano very much.

"Yes."

"What about Saturday's sketching? Can you come with me? ”

"Yes."

Chizuru Ninomiya's two answers were simple.

"You continue to be busy, the tram is almost there, I'll go home."

Receiving her affirmation, Hikaru Kurosawa smiled and typed.

"Stay safe."

In an apartment building in Tokyo, Chizuru Ninomiya sits in front of a computer, sends out the message, and then refocuses on the laptop in front of her.

As a teacher, in addition to Hikaru Kurosawa, there are dozens of students in the Ninomiya group that need her to follow up and pay attention.

A semester is coming to an end and she has a lot of personal reports to write.

For example, she has to fill in the information and apply for scholarships for the students in the group.

The second-year scholarship may only cost about 100,000 yen a year, but the excellent performance of the scholarship is very helpful for the student's resume.

"Hoo ......"

Looking at the documents on the screen, Chizuru Ninomiya took off her rimless glasses, pinched the bridge of her nose to relieve fatigue, and took a few deep breaths.

Immediately afterward, she put her glasses back on, took a sip of coffee, and continued to work with her head.

She has a more reserved personality and is not good at telling her true thoughts.

Originally, for a Saturday date, she had to work overtime to try to make up for the day's workload...... Now I have to go to the piano competition on Monday night, and although it won't be long, there will be less time.

……

Hikaru Kurosawa had just walked into the house, took off his shoes, came to the sofa and sat down, and had just taken out his phone.

"Brother Guang, are you home?" He had just opened the chat interface when Yuki sent a message.

"Did you calculate my time to get home?"

Hikaru Kurosawa was a little surprised to find that her message had come so skillfully and on time.

Yuki Ko: "Because you used to be at this time, 10:50. ”

"You're smarter than I thought you would, and you're pretty good at paying attention to details." The corners of Hikaru Kurosawa's mouth curled into an arc.

Sometimes, it's easy to overlook the small details between two people.

If it is noticed, it makes people happy and has a feeling of being valued.

It's like, someone else remembers what you like to eat and what you don't like to eat.

"Ah...... Brother Guang is turning a corner and saying that I am stupid? ”

"How could you be, you're so smart."

"Heehe~ Brother Guang has been in class for a day, and he has to work part-time, he should be tired, right? Rest early. ”

"You're going to get me to rest?"

"Because you're about to take the exam, we'll go play together when you're on summer vacation!"

"Don't you have to go together on Saturday?"

"Of course, but you're busy."

"Okay, I'll take you to various places during the summer vacation."

"Then it's a matter of saying~ Good night, mua."

"Good night."

"Kissing?"

“mua。” Hikaru Kurosawa was amused by her, and it was also a kiss that typed and supplemented the text version

This girl cares a lot about small details.

……

On Friday, because next week is the final exam, the learning atmosphere on the campus of Tokyo University is more solemn than usual.

There is less gossip and other small talk, and everyone starts to prepare for the exam.

Even in a school like Tokyo University, the learning atmosphere is super good, but when the exam is approaching, it will still be more tense than usual and work harder.

Of course, not everyone is like that.

For example, Hikaru Kurosawa came to the classroom early in the morning, his expression was relaxed and his mood was very happy.

"Are you sure about next week's final exam?"

Yuta Miyazaki, who was also reading a book, couldn't help but ask when he saw him come and sit down next to him, and took a closer look at his mental state.

"I'm not sure." Hikaru Kurosawa shook his head.

He has been very busy lately, although he is at school every week, studying and attending classes.

But between classes, after school, and on weekends, I can't read books without sleep or food like before.

"Look at your expression, you know you're sure...... Please don't be like this, every time I say that I am not sure, I end up doing super well in the test every time. ”

Yuta Miyazaki couldn't help but grumble when he found out that he was saying this again.

This guy is scary and has a passion for learning...... Although in the past few weeks, it may be because of talking about a girlfriend, and I no longer read books in and out of class.

But his intuition told him that Hikaru Kurosawa was definitely out of his sight, reading hard, constantly learning and improving.

"Lend you good words."

Hikaru Kurosawa put the bag away and smiled.

Maybe his expression was relaxed and he seemed to be in a good mood, but it wasn't because he was sure at all, it was just because he saw it.

Now that he has found a new path in life, he is no longer the king of the rolls who studied frantically in order to find a good job after graduation.

The masked pianist, and the archery, these are the two paths in front of him, no matter which one he chooses, he doesn't need to worry about making money in the future.

Of course, the exam still has to be examined, but it is not as extreme as before.

"Speaking of which, I met Ninomiya-sensei this morning, and I feel that she is particularly beautiful today."

Yuta Miyazaki, who was reading a book, suddenly remembered something and said.

"When isn't she pretty?"

Kurosawa Hikaru listened to this statement and didn't care.

Miss Ninomiya is beautiful, isn't that a well-known thing?

"No, maybe it's because of the final exam, she feels very tired today. The expression is not like usual, less cold and more tired...... It gives people the urge to protect her. ”

Yuta Miyazaki shook his head and explained.

"And this is the ......"

Hikaru Kurosawa frowned when he heard this.

I'm so tired, is it because I have to make time tomorrow to go on a date and work overtime?

"If you don't believe me, go to the faculty office, she's never been like this before."

Yuta Miyazaki thought he didn't believe it, so she simply pushed him with her arm and encouraged.

"I'll go see it when I have the chance, and read it a hundred times......"

Hikaru Kurosawa realized this, nodded, and then looked at him, word by word.

"I see."

Yuta Miyazaki found out that he was doing this again, and shrugged his shoulders a little helplessly.

He also knows this truth, but when a man meets a beautiful woman, how can he not take a few more looks.
