Chapter 169 In the end, Jiu Liuli told Sakakihara Raku about the matter
Archery Club.
After everyone completes training, Tianhai Jiuliuli often packs up the utensils everyone used and is the last one to go home.
However, today several members said they would stay in the club for training until eight o'clock in the evening, so Tianhai Jiuliuli handed them the keys to the club.
She has a lot of things to do. She sees that the members of the club do not need her guidance for the time being, and she has no intention of staying in the club.
"See you tomorrow, Minister."
"Okay, see you tomorrow."
Saying goodbye to everyone in the club as usual, the Tianhai Jiuliu Glaze shoulder bag left the club.
"I wonder if my brother has gone home first."
Tianhai Jiuliuri thought like this, took out her mobile phone from the pocket of her pleated skirt, and found the contact information of Kambara Leline.
After hesitating for a moment, she typed and asked:
[Is my brother still in school now?]
After sending the information like this, I got a reply soon.
[At school]
Is my brother still in school?
Tianhai Jiuliuli typed in the chat box with some expectation:
[That’s great, do you want to go home together? We can also buy some ingredients for dinner]
[Of course, let’s do this, you come to the music department’s classroom and I’ll practice in the piano room here]
Music department, piano room?
Tianhai Jiuliuli locked his eyes on the phone screen for a while, wondering about this.
But she figured this out quickly.
My brother quit two clubs before. Probably because of this, his attendance rate this semester was not enough... so he found another club to continue to maintain his attendance rate.
I didn’t expect to choose the music department and study piano.
I should be able to help my brother on the piano?
Tianhai Jiuliuli thought of this in her mind, and thought of the hug this morning, and suddenly felt that she felt much happier.
But,
Just when she was about to put down her phone, another message popped up in the email.
[Come to the school gate, she is waiting for you outside]
This is not a reply from Kanbaru Raku, but a message from my mother... To be precise, it is a message from my mother’s assistant.
"Mom."
Tianhai Jiuliuli knew that it was her mother who wanted to talk to him again.
The Chopin International Piano Competition is held every five years... Even with my father’s obstruction and warning, my mother is determined to win it.
Do you want to go there...?
She became a little hesitant in putting her phone back into her skirt pocket, and even the shoulder bag she lifted seemed to have become a lot heavier...
Tianhai Jiuliuli looked in the direction of the school gate. The white luxury car seemed to be waiting for him outside.
She is hesitating and hesitating...
I even closed my eyes and recalled the previous scene.
Within a moment, she reopened her sky-blue eyes and made a choice.
I still have to face my mother once.
Make your wishes clear to her.
Looking at the lily-of-the-valley bracelet on her wrist, Tianhai Jiuliuli's belief seemed to have strengthened a lot. Then, she picked up her shoulder bag and walked to the school gate.
Below is the slope road and two rows of ginkgo trees. Tianhai Jiuliuli stopped in front of the all-white luxury car.
The female assistant wearing a suit and black glasses nodded to her and then opened the car door.
The carriage is large and equipped with luxurious interiors that are not found in ordinary vehicles, as well as holders for holding wine glasses and bottles. When it is opened, there is a scent of roses.
Tianhai Jiuliuli saw her mother sitting inside, gently shaking the red wine with her hand, looking calm and full of temperament.
After Tianhai Jiuliuli sat in, the female assistant closed the door.
There were only two people left in the carriage.
"Did Liuli do what I said?"
"Mom, you mean quitting the club?"
Bertha Heikeya frowned and stopped what she was doing, feeling a little weird about her daughter's current expression, "It seems
You haven’t quit.”
"Well, I didn't retreat."
"Do you still remember the competition that will be held every five years soon?"
"Remember."
"Why not withdraw?"
"I, I don't think we should retreat."
After Tianhai Jiuliuli answered in a weak voice, Bertha Hekeya put down the red wine glass in her hand.
She faintly noticed some changes in her daughter.
"You don't think you should quit the club?"
"Well..." Tianhai Jiuliuli lowered his head in front of his mother.
When Bertha Hekeya looked at her daughter like this, there was no smile on her lips like before, "Why?"
"I don't think we should quit the club."
Bertha Hekeya suddenly held her forehead in trouble, "Liu Li, are you even disobedient?"
"..."
"Liu Li," Bertha Hekeya said with her eyes closed, "have you forgotten what you promised me before? You said you would follow your mother and stand at the top of classical music together... Until now, you have violated
The agreement between us?"
"It's not that I won't go, but I think the club can definitely-"
"Okay, Liuli, I'm not in the mood to listen to you right now. Just quit the club you're currently a member of and practice 10 hours a day as usual... That's every five years.
Do you know how many people who have devoted decades to this competition will take part in the Chopin Piano Competition? What you are facing are not opponents of your age at all, but those who have been famous for several years and are also called geniuses.
Guy."
What Tianhai Jiuliuli said to her mother cannot be denied: "But I don't think we should put everything on the piano. I... still have my own life."
"Your own life?" Bertha Heikeya held her head and looked sideways at her daughter, "Liu Li, tell me, what else do you have besides the piano? Do you rely on your disguised appearance to gain favor from the crowd? Or do you rely on your disguise?
How can you win the favor of those men with your appearance?"
Tianhai Jiuliuli pursed her lips instantly at her mother's words. She subconsciously wanted to grab something with her hands. In the strong uneasiness, she reached out to hold the bracelet on her wrist.
"Liuli, you are very smart. You know that those who like you don't really like you at all. They only care about your appearance and your pretended tenderness towards them. No one will care about your true appearance, and no one will care about you.
What kind of person are you...do they need you? No, they just want to get what they want from you, rather than caring about your own existence."
Bertha Hekeya took her daughter's hand and placed her hand in her palm.
"Listen to your mother, quit the club, and take the initiative to devote your school time to piano practice. As long as it is your request, Madenori will not ask anything...I can take you there after
Wherever you want to go, whether it’s an amusement park or traveling, haven’t you always liked eating baked potatoes before? I can also make time to go with you.”
"..."
Tianhai Jiuliuli did not speak in the long silence.
Her mother's words made her feel uncomfortable, entangled, and depressed.
Bertha Heikeya is patiently waiting for her daughter's answer.
"Mom...I'm a little confused now, can you...let me think about it again." Tianhai Jiuliuli replied in a weak voice, tightening the lily of the valley bracelet on her wrist.
"Think about it carefully? Well, that's fine. Two days is enough. I'll ask you again in two days."
"Well..."
......
After getting out of the car, Tianhai Jiuliuli lowered her eyebrows again as she watched her mother's car drive away from the ginkgo tree slope at the school gate.
Not liked...no one cares...no one really cares...
These words seem to linger in my mind and cannot be dissipated for a long time.
It was obvious that I had made the decision to reject my mother, but my mother still expressed my hesitation... and did not reject my mother's proposal...
She doesn't know why this is happening, but
When her mother said those words, she subconsciously wanted to retreat and find some kind of support and affirmation.
She couldn't accept those cold and distant words, and she couldn't find anyone suitable to support her in the past. She was at a loss and could only keep this uncomfortable feeling in her heart.
But now, if...it were him, he would definitely support him, right?
When Tianhai Jiuliuli thought of this, a strong desire suddenly emerged in her heart, and she suddenly wanted to talk to him.
She glanced at the ginkgo tree path where the car had disappeared, and turned back to the school.
With the hope of being able to talk to her brother soon, Tianhai Jiureli came to the music club classroom that Kambaraku mentioned.
Listening to the sound of the saxophone playing, Tianhai Jiuliuli glanced at the music department classroom through the glass.
I didn’t see my brother.
While I was thinking this, a girl came out with a saxophone in her hand.
"Tianhai...Qi Mingyue, classmate?"
The disadvantage of twins and sisters is that when most people call them, they can only call them by their full names.
Tianhai Jiuliuli shook his head and replied: "No, I am Tianhai Jiuliuli."
Minister Zuo Zhizi immediately looked surprised, and then he bent down and apologized: "I'm so sorry, I accidentally recognized you by mistake."
Tianhai Jiuliuli didn't pay attention at all, but it seemed that it was the influence of her mother just now. Her reply voice became much weaker: "It doesn't matter, this is a common thing."
"So, what's going on with Tianhai Jiuliuri?" Minister Zuo Zhizi hoped that she would answer that she was preparing to be a pianist in the music department.
Unfortunately, this is not the case.
"I want to find someone, he said he is in the piano practice room."
Zuo Zhizi probably knows who it is.
"Practice room? Ah, the practice room is upstairs."
"Okay, sorry to trouble you."
"It's okay, it's a small matter. Tianhai-san is here to see Kanbara-san, right?"
"Hmm."
"That's no problem. He's been practicing on it recently."
"Have you been here lately?" Tianhai Jiuliuli wondered, "Has he... been joining for a while?"
"No, I just joined the club recently."
Recently joined...
If this is the case, my brother chose the piano as an instrument... he should have encountered difficulties during his studies.
But why...
He hasn't come to find me?
With doubts, Tianhai Jiuliuli came to the third floor. Not even two steps after taking the corner of the stairs, she heard the sound of the piano.
It's Chopin's Waltz.
Such a lively melody, she knew it was this song as soon as she heard it.
She came to the door of the piano practice room and saw the two people inside through the hole in the door.
Tianhai Jiuliuli was stunned.
Because inside, a girl with flaxen hair is teaching Kamara Raku the piano.
Qi Mingyue is teaching her brother piano?
Why is Qi Mingyue teaching her brother piano?
Chopin is an eighth-level piano piece. Considering that Kambara has never learned piano before, it will take a long time to reach this point.
Apparently, the two have been practicing with each other for some time.
But Qi Mingyue has never said this to herself.
The same goes for my brother.
"Why doesn't my brother come to me to learn piano?"
Tianhai Jiuliuli looked at the two people in the classroom while murmuring in a low voice.
Obviously knowing that Qi Mingyue and her brother are also sworn brothers and sisters, it is okay for them to have contact with each other.
But when she saw that the person who looked exactly like her overlapped with the person she liked, Tianhai Jiuliuli felt as if something had been taken away.
How strange.
What her mother just said came to mind again, sentence after sentence, deepening the scars in Tianhai Jiuliuli's heart.
When I think about it, even the one person I can rely on and the person I like will disappear.
The scars are getting bigger and bigger.
————————
"Well...how about ending the piano today?"
"Don't want to practice anymore?"
"Oh, I'm tired. Besides, Jiu Liuli just sent me a message, saying that we want to go home together."
When Tianhai Qimingyue heard this, she put down the book in her hand and asked, "How did you reply to sister?"
"I asked her to come here. You are here anyway, so we can go home together."
Tianhai Qimingyue frowned: "Did you ask your sister to come here?"
"Yes, what's wrong?"
"...Forget it," Tianhai Qimingyue's eyes flickered, "It's not a big deal. It's just that we didn't tell my sister that we were learning piano together. But you practice piano every day and cuddle with your sister.
, I should have said it, right?"
"..."
Don't slander me! Where can I hug you?
"You didn't say anything either?"
"No." Kanbaru was a little puzzled.
Tianhai Qimingyue saw his doubts and sighed: "Brother, what do you think my sister will think when she finds out that we practice piano together?"
Kanbaru thought: "Maybe why didn't you call her for help? It's nothing, I just need a little explanation."
Even my sister can be jealous and jealous.
The seven bright moons in the sky and sea are quite clear.
"So you don't understand how women think."
Kanbaru wanted to explain, but soon found Tianhai Jiu Liuli standing at the door.
"Hey...Jiuliuli is already here."
"Well, I saw it. You go out, and if you want to explain anything, go and explain it to your sister."
"...What does it mean to explain clearly? It makes it seem like something happened between us."
"It's not impossible to do whatever you want to happen. Now that my sister is watching, it's the best time." Tianhai Qimingyue's little face showed no emotion at all, which made her look particularly serious.
"..."
Yes! You are my aunt, I don’t care about you as much as you do!
Kamyara stood up and walked out, coming to Tianhai Jiuliuli.
The girl's long flaxen hair fell off her shoulders. Her appearance was exactly the same as Nanamiyue's, which made Kagura Raku feel particularly strange at this time, as if she had met another person, but not as if she hadn't.
She obviously has something to say to herself.
"Brother."
"Well," Kanharale replied, remembering what Qi Mingyue said to him just now, and took the initiative to explain, "Jiu Liuli, don't misunderstand me. Regarding the piano, I didn't mean that I didn't ask you on purpose... but
Some time ago, as you know, our relationship was not very good, so I had to ask Qi Mingyue for help..."
It turns out...that's it...
My brother is not hiding from me on purpose.
"I understand."
Tianhai Jiuliuli then raised his eyes, "But that's not what I want to tell my brother. Didn't he say in the morning that he seemed familiar with the shark doll?"
Tian Hai Qi Mingyue, who was sitting in the piano classroom, reacted immediately when she heard this.
What does sister want to do?
Kambaraku nodded to Jiuliuli: "Well, what's wrong?"
"I... have thought through a lot of things, the most common ones are the mistakes I made against my brother... I no longer want to hide anything from you, brother, so I also want to take the initiative regarding this morning's question.
Answer...Brother, what you said is not wrong. You did see some familiar scenes a long time ago."
When Tianhai Jiuliuli said these words, his heart was struggling and painful.
She knew that saying this might make her brother stay further away from her, and might make her brother feel guilty about Qi Mingyue.
But rather than staying away, she hopes to no longer hide anything from her brother.
She no longer wants to deceive her brother.
Even if it’s only once.
Therefore, Tianhai Jiuliuli’s eyes are firm.
"I...really saw it?"
Kanbaru frowned slightly, trying to remember something.
"Where is my brother's hometown?" Tianhai Jiuliuli asked.
"Matsuyama City, Ehime Prefecture, Shikoku."
Tianhai Jiuliuli continued: "Twelve years ago, when Qi Mingyue and I were about to turn four, in order to relax our minds, my mother took Qi Mingyue and me on a trip."
Kanhara Raku: "You mean——"
"Yes, our destination happens to be Shikoku, Ehime Prefecture, and Matsuyama City, and we met my brother you when I was a child in a small village near the sea."
Tianhai Qimingyue closed her eyes in the piano classroom and placed her hands on the books folded above her legs.
Tianhai Jiululi folded her hands in front of her, and her sky-blue eyes reflected Kamara Raku's appearance and the various emotions deep in her heart.
"My brother and I knew each other when we were young."
Chapter 169
In the end, Jiu Liuli told Sakakihara Raku about the matter.
