At the end of the show, the audience left their seats and walked out of the big concert hall one after another.

Maybe the performance is over, but there is no sadness of parting.

"It's worth it tonight."

Walking out of the large concert hall, Okra sighed heartily.

"The next time I see Kurosawa, I must thank him in person."

Hinata nodded heavily, sympathetic.

Tonight, no matter which piano piece is taken out alone, it is an audio-visual feast.

Ten songs in a row...... Even if it's another loop in the second half, it's hard to get tired of listening.

The babes came in groups, and they were also seven people walking together.

"Huh?"

At this moment, Yamamoto Daiki's height was remarkable, even in the crowd, he was very conspicuous, and he suddenly saw a touch of white in front of him.

"What's wrong?"

Hitomi Matsushita, as his girlfriend, raised his head and saw his different color, and was puzzled.

"I think I've seen Miki."

Daiki Yamamoto's gaze was on the distance, but he was still unsure.

Because there was a lot of people in front of them, dense and crowded.

"Miki? That's the one who plays figure skating? ”

When Hitomi Matsushita heard this name, her face immediately showed unkindness.

"Speaking of which, it seems that Miki also came to see the performance of Master Zero Hour last time, so he should also be a fan."

When Shiina Lan heard this, she suddenly remembered something.

"Really? Why didn't you tell me about this? ”

When Daiki Yamamoto heard this, he was immediately convinced and complained.

"Forgot ......"

Shiina Lan questioned this, glanced at Hitomi Matsushita, and shrugged his shoulders.

In fact, anyone who has ever been to a show remembers seeing Miki at the Tokyo Bunka Kaikan.

After all, Miki is so beautiful, no matter where she appears, she seems to stand out from the crowd, and it is difficult to ignore her.

During the conversation, they followed the crowd and left the Tokyo Bunka Kaikan and went back to their respective homes.

……

The Tokyo Bunka Kaikan has a large area and has a variety of rooms in addition to large and small concert halls.

As the show ended, the audience dispersed, in a room backstage.

The Ninomiya family sat in the room and waited.

"It's been ten minutes."

Naoki Ninomiya raised his hand to look at the time on his watch, and said with a calm expression.

As a banker, he has not experienced the situation of being left to dry.

But today's situation is different, he wants to see his daughter's boyfriend as an elder, instead of asking others to see the big boss.

"For the audience, tonight's show is over, but it's not over for the organizers."

Hearing this, Chizuru Ninomiya, who was sitting on the side, helped to exonerate.

She could feel that her father was angry, but she wanted to appease her, but she didn't know where to start.

"Don't worry, it's too sudden to meet tonight, it's normal for people to not be able to withdraw for a while."

Chie Ninomiya, who is drinking tea leisurely and has an elegant and calm temperament, spoke up.

“？”

As soon as these words came out, Chizuru Ninomiya, who was still very anxious in his heart, couldn't help but feel surprised and looked at his mother.

Why is this tone like he is talking to Hikaru Kurosawa? Did she misunderstand?

"I'll wait another 5 minutes, and if he doesn't show up, I'll go home and sleep."

Naoki Ninomiya said with a cold face.

"Can you sleep when you come home so early? And don't forget, you promised President Horie to sign when you help them keep up with zero. ”

Chie Ninomiya lowered her head and played with her fingers and said lightly.

"That's what you promised."

Ninomiya Naoki was angry when he heard this, and said dissatisfied.

He could have decided on the situation and not agreed to other people's requests, everyone was a close partner, they were all human spirits, and they would not have made a fuss over this little thing.

As a result, before he could think of a good excuse to resign, his wife agreed.

"All I promised was to ask for an autograph for President Horie's daughter, and I'll ask for one later...... As for other people's signatures, you agreed to them. ”

Ninomiya Chie had long expected him to have this trick and said calmly.

“……”

Naoki Ninomiya wanted to refute, but he was speechless, leaning on the back of the sofa and sulking.

The most important character of a banker is credibility, which is more important than everything.

It is no exaggeration to say that when a banker loses his credibility, he is undoubtedly ruining his career.

Although this is different from investment, even if it is not done, it is only a small dishonesty and will not affect professionalism, but it is not necessary.

"Has she changed her mind?"

Chizuru Ninomiya, who was still very skeptical just now, was immediately convinced when he heard this, and he couldn't help but be surprised.

After her mother learned that her boyfriend was an artist, she scolded her.

Not only that, but during the day, her mother also went to her office to find her, interviewed her, and clearly expressed various objections.

What's going on? Is it because Kurosawa's performance tonight is so amazing that his mother is impressed?

"Knock knock."

After a few minutes, there was a knock on the door.

Immediately after, the door was opened, and Hikaru Kurosawa, wearing a mask, walked in.

Wearing a tuxedo, he was tall and steady, and turned around to close the door.

"It's a big shelf, we waited 14 minutes."

Finally waiting for his arrival, Naoki Ninomiya snorted coldly.

"Father-in-law and mother-in-law, I'm sorry to keep you waiting, just now I talked to my agent about work for a while, and I was stopped by fans on the way here, and it took me a little time to get out."

Dissatisfied with this, Hikaru Kurosawa didn't mind, but took off his hat, faced the two elders, bowed his head slightly, and apologized gently.

"Who is your father-in-law?! And you have to lie a little bit, this is the backstage, how can there be idle people running in? ”

Hearing this title, Naoki Ninomiya, who had been waiting impatiently, was like a cat fried hair, full of aggression.

What are you kidding, his daughter hasn't married yet, why is he a father-in-law?

Seeing her husband explode like a landmine, the momentum was very loud, Chie Ninomiya sat on the side and didn't say a word, just raised her eyes and looked at the gentle zero hour.

"You're right, it's true that there is no way for idle people to enter the backstage, but this fan's identity is relatively special, and he can enter and exit the backstage freely."

Hikaru Kurosawa was dissatisfied with this, and he was not impatient, but walked step by step to Chizuru Ninomiya and sat down beside her.

“……”

Hearing this calm tone, Naoki Ninomiya wanted to open his mouth to ask, but he still suppressed the anger in his heart.

Be calm when you encounter something, he really cares about it, because this matter is related to his daughter, and he is so easily confused.

"How special is the identity?"

At this moment, Chie Ninomiya asked curiously.

"She is the daughter of the Sifeng Courtyard family."

Hikaru Kurosawa replied after hesitating about this question.

"What did she stop you for?"

Knowing this identity, Chie Ninomiya was stunned for a moment, and then she was puzzled.

"She asked me for an autograph and asked me some questions about piano music."

"That's it?"

"That's all."

Hikaru Kurosawa nodded, not saying more.

"Since it was the daughter of the Sifeng Courtyard family who stopped you, there really was no way."

After thinking about it, Chie Ninomiya nodded, acknowledging the reason for his tardiness.

The daughter of the Sifeng Courtyard family, a big man at this level, even if she is their best friend, she has to grovel to entertain her.

"Thank you mother-in-law for your understanding."

Hearing this, Hikaru Kurosawa responded with laughter, and also raised his hand to take off his mask.

Although this mask must be worn in front of outsiders and fans all the time to maintain a sense of mystery, it would be rude to continue wearing it in front of your father-in-law and mother-in-law.

"You ......"

With his movements, Chie Ninomiya, whose eyes were attracted, was immediately stunned after seeing his face after taking off his mask.

Because of Zero's appearance, it exceeded her expectations.

According to her impression, Zero Time should be a mature and handsome man under the age of 30 and between 28-29 years old.

Why is she mature and handsome, this is because she knows very well how picky her daughter's eyes are, if she looks average, it is impossible to attract her daughter with talent and money alone.

She guessed correctly, Zero Shi is indeed handsome and handsome, and his instruments are extraordinary.

Unexpectedly, Zero looks too young.

"How old are you?"

Chie Ninomiya suspected that he was well-maintained, causing him to look younger than his daughter, and couldn't help but ask.

"Father-in-law and mother-in-law, let me introduce myself again, I'm Hikaru Kurosawa, 20 years old this year."

Hikaru Kurosawa's tone is very calm, and he has never changed the question of the title, just to sit on this point.

"20 years old?"

When Chie Ninomiya heard this number, she was immediately dumbfounded.

If it is really this age, then her baby daughter is not eight years older than Hikaru Kurosawa?

"20 years old?"

Faced with this age, Naoki Ninomiya, who had chosen to be silent since just now, raised his eyelids and said loudly.

Being young in neon has never been a quality worthy of praise.

Especially for bankers, being young means that they are inexperienced, inexperienced, and not able to do things, and the only commendable place is the potential for the future.

But if you are young at the same time, plus talents and merits far beyond your age, then it is a different matter.

Suddenly, the deeds of zero hour appeared in front of me.

Famous all over the country, famous overseas, occupying the Twitter hot list many times, such as a piano master in the sky, and even has the reputation of the god of piano...... and the piano skills that impressed everyone on the stage just now.

Even if he is prejudiced against the profession of an artist, the 20-year-old pianist and genius makes it impossible to deny his value and excellence.

"Yes."

Kurosawa Hikaru knew that this father-in-law was the most difficult to deal with, and when he saw him speak out, he also answered.

"20 years old should be the age of college...... Are you still in school? ”

Realizing that he was unusual, Naoki Ninomiya looked at him and groaned.

"I'm still in school, and I'm currently in my second year of economics at the University of Tokyo."

"You can't be Chizuru's student, right?"

Hearing about this subject, this grade, Naoki Ninomiya suddenly realized something.

"It used to be, and it wasn't."

Hikaru Kurosawa nodded and explained.

"Teacher-student love?"

When Chie Ninomiya heard this, she couldn't help it.

She thought that the relationship between Chizuru and Zero Time was an eight-year-old sister and brother relationship, which was already a very special relationship.

But I never expected that there would be more exciting news.

"No, absolutely not, you guys break up quickly. If this thing gets out, how will I be your father? What will others think of you? ”

Confirming this, Naoki Ninomiya immediately found a breakthrough and categorically stopped this marriage.

"Dad, I'm not a teacher at the University of Tokyo now, but a bank clerk, strictly speaking, this is not a teacher-student relationship."

Speaking of this, Chizuru Ninomiya hurriedly added.

"Even if what you say is out of the blue, it can't change the teacher-student relationship when you met him, if this thing gets out, you will be ruined, this is a matter of principle."

Naoki Ninomiya naturally knew her profession, and when he saw that she was still quibbling, he glared.

Chizuru Ninomiya wanted to refute this statement, but was speechless.

"Don't jump to conclusions, it's so ugly."

At this moment, Chie Ninomiya reached out and pulled her husband back and pressed him down.

"I'm having a hard time talking?"

Ninomiya Naoki has already restrained his attitude and tone, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned.

"Chizuru, you resigned from Todai because of him, right?"

Immediately, Chie Ninomiya took over the conversation and asked.

In fact, she has never understood one thing, why her daughter suddenly quit her job as a university teacher.

You must know that the profession of a teacher at the University of Tokyo is the dependence of her daughter to fight against them.

Because she was worried that her daughter would be bullied, she also paid someone to inquire about the news, wanting to know if her daughter had been wronged.

The result is also clear, because her daughter is too young and beautiful, she has been affected by gossip in Tokyo University for a long time, and she has indeed been wronged.

But now it seems that such gossip is not enough to hurt her daughter.

"Yes."

Chizuru Ninomiya nodded, not denying it.

"Is that all you want to be with him?"

Chie Ninomiya put social issues aside and looked at the two people on the sofa opposite.

"I would love to be with him."

The mother and daughter talked, and although Chizuru Ninomiya was embarrassed, she nodded firmly.

"Why can't you wait any longer? Obviously, if you wait a few more years, when he graduates, all the problems will be solved. ”

Chie Ninomiya asked again.

That's right, just wait a few more years, wait until Hikaru Kurosawa graduates, and all the problems will be solved.

In Neon, the profession of teacher is sacred, and the social status is extremely high.

The reason why teacher-student love is strictly forbidden is because of the fear that there is a relationship of interest, which will lead to possible inequality and involuntary in the relationship.

But whether it is the graduation of the student, or the resignation of the teacher, the relationship and position change, and there is no longer any intersection, that is another matter.

In other words, it may be possible to make people chew their tongues, but Chizuru and Hikaru Kurosawa are together, and there are actually no problems and concerns.

"Because I'm afraid that if I keep waiting, he'll be snatched away...... If I don't resign, I won't be able to be with him because of my status. ”

Speaking of the reason for resigning early, Chizuru Ninomiya couldn't help but glance at Hikaru Kurosawa beside him and explained.

She can be sure that her love for Hikaru Kurosawa will be long-lasting, and it will not change even if it is two more years.

But at the beginning, she really couldn't be sure how long Hikaru Kurosawa's love for her would last.

Because she had waited for a long time, because she had been to an amusement park together, traveled together, and heard him play "Adelina by the Water", she knew very well how deep her love for Kurosawa was.

She didn't want to lose Kurosawa and could only take action.

Because of Chizuru's sudden voice, the rhythm was greatly disrupted, and Hikaru Kurosawa didn't make a sound from just now, watching the discussion of the three of them.

“……”

But at this moment, Kurosawa Hikaru felt the gaze of Chizuru Ninomiya, and couldn't help but feel distressed, and opened his mouth, but because his father-in-law and mother-in-law were still present, he could only dispel the idea of comforting her and holding her.

As for the reason for Chizuru's resignation as a teacher at Todai, he actually knew it in his heart, and he also felt guilty and respectful, and treated her as well as possible.

Although it is a guess, it is not far from ten, but hearing the reason for it in person still makes him feel distressed.

In the period before the start of the archery tournament, both Koyuki and Chizuru, who were afraid of losing him, took action.

Xiao Yuki ran to the school gate of Tokyo University to squat, quietly followed him, and found his residence.

Chizuru resigned from her job as a teacher at Todai, directly cutting off the insurmountable barrier between them.

"What's there to worry about, if he is snatched away, then change it, and it doesn't have to be him."

Naoki Ninomiya, who was on the side, saw his daughter's humble expression, which was distressing, and suddenly couldn't sit still.

Just kidding, his daughter is so good and beautiful, are you afraid that you won't find a wishful man?

"I can't change it, I just have to him, I want to marry him, I want to be with him for the rest of my life."

Ninomiya Chizuru shook her head, even in the face of her father, who had always been in awe, her eyes were extremely firm.
