About the fact that I accidentally turned my sister into a cripple

Chapter 138 Jiu Liuli's Piano Recital (2)

The time was pushed back another day.

The air was equally hot, and because Tianhai Jiuliuli needed to enter the arena early, she left home earlier than the others.

Before leaving, Sakakihara quietly hid from her family and held her little hand for a while, Jiu Liuli's face visibly became shyer and redder.

The generous Jiu Liuli is really cute when shy.

This caused Sakakihara to reflect on the feeling of her little hands for a long time after she said "see you in the afternoon" to herself.

When I returned to the living room, I was glared at by Suzu Sakakibara, and asked myself "Why are you smirking?".

He doesn't want to laugh either.

But thinking of the scene when they were holding hands, the corners of their mouths turned up unconsciously.

Forget it, let's rest for a while, then change into clothes, and go to the recital with everyone.

This piano recital is a perennial practice, not a temporary idea.

A theme is drawn up every year, and then the tracks are selected according to the theme.

Sakakihara Raku, who was sitting on the Tianhai Shu Audi A6, glanced at the black paperback invitation letter in his hand.

The invitation contained a card with details of the piano recital, date, time and address, in addition to some gorgeous decorative patterns.

The theme is "At Dawn".

"For this recital, are only those who have received the invitation letter invited?" Sakakihara asked Tianhai Qimingyue opposite.

Tianhai Qimingyue paused for a second, looked ahead and replied: "No, the recital is open to the public, and invitations are only sent to those who are specially invited. Compared with the tickets sold publicly, the invitation seats are better."

Suzu Sakakibara, who was sitting between the two, quietly asked, "Is Jiu Liuli famous? I see the address is in the Tokyo Art Theater."

"How old is sister?" Tianhai Qimingyue asked back.

"15, the same age as me, why ask this?"

"My sister can complete the most difficult piece in the world at the age of 13 - Sergei Prokofiev Piano Concerto No. [-] in G minor. Although my sister sauce can't understand the difficulty, you only need to know my sister in the circle It’s just as famous as a top star.”

"So amazing"

What did Sakakihara Raku think of: "The song you mentioned is the one played by Jiu Liuli at the tea party dinner?"

Tianhai Qimingyue sat upright and answered, very cold: "Otherwise? Why do you think they invited my sister to play a piano piece alone that day?"

"Feelings really invite Jiu Liuli to go up and open everyone's eyes."

The car climbed up the gentle slope and drove along the main road of the city to the Tokyo Metropolitan Theater near Ikebukuro West Exit Park.

The entrance of the theater is very large, and the entrance is a square paved with tiles. The shape of the building is half a fallen pyramid, with dark blue tile walls, and the spire facing the unnamed artistic logo of Sakakibara.

As for why Sakakihara Suzu was surprised that Jiu Liuli's performance venue was here, Sakakihara Raku went online to find out when she came.

This is the largest performance venue in Tokyo, and even has a second-floor attic. It is an art concert hall that can accommodate a full 2000 people!It's really big.

Raku Sakakihara got out of the car and stepped onto an open and flat field. The heat wave of over 40 degrees in Tokyo instantly squeezed her skin to the brim.He was really hot in this suit.

"It's too hot this summer." Suzu Sakakibara in a short-sleeved dress held a casual straw hat and stood beside Raku Sakakibara.

Seeing him ignoring her, Sakakihara Ling puffed her face again, took his hand and asked, "Are you really dating Jiu Liuli?"

"How many times have you asked this question?"

Sakakihara Ling dodged her eyes in front of him: "Because... because you have never been in a relationship, and you have never talked to other girls."

Sakakihara Ling's voice became smaller and smaller, "I am concerned about your relationship status, brother! I am afraid that you will be dumped by Jiuliuli."

"There's no one who just dumped each other when they first dated."

Sakakihara is aware of Ah Ling's feelings, although she will not exaggerate, but she must be jealous.

Think carefully too.

What Jiu Liuli robbed was her elder brother who had been with her for more than ten years.

Helpless, Sakakihara could only say to her again: "It's true, A Ling, you don't need to ask, but it's just a relationship, it's really nothing, it's not that I won't make you delicious food."

"Then why don't you guys do anything as a couple? It seems like you haven't even gone out on a date!"

This question directly stopped Sakakihara Raku.

He was more embarrassed to ask Jiu Liuli out, and Jiu Liuli was even more embarrassed to ask herself.

"Tell me~ tell me, tell me, tell me, okay~" Sakakibara bell kept shaking her brother's arm. .

".You want me to answer this question, but I can't answer it."

"why?"

"I do not know."

Sakakihara Ling thought about it carefully: "Is it because you dare not ask Jiu Liuli out, bro?!"

Sakakibara landed a fist on her head wearing a straw hat: "Okay, don't ask so many things about your brother, go in quickly, you will die in the sun if you stand outside."

"Woo will bully me."

Through the glass door, entering the wide entrance hall of the Tokyo Metropolitan Theater, the air-conditioned air blows in your face.

In the 1F lobby, people come and go here. There are many works of art displayed in the building and the surrounding public areas. There are also restaurants, shops, and post offices. It is like a comprehensive shopping mall with an artistic atmosphere.

Walking a little inside, the three-dimensional poster of Tianhai Jiuliuli's "At Dawn" piano recital came into view.

In the poster, Tianhai Jiuliuli is wearing a pure white dress and playing the piano in a dark concert hall. With her slender jade fingers, she is playing gracefully with her eyes closed, making Sakakihara Raku take a second look.

The promotional poster was shot very beautifully and movingly, and it was placed in the most conspicuous position on 1F.

Uncle Tianhai and Mrs. Sakakihara brought a few people to the General Consultation Office, and confirmed that Jiu Liuli's performance was in the concert hall on the 7th floor.

While waiting, Sakakihara Raku suddenly remembered the goal of Sakakihara Rin from before, "Didn't you say a while ago that you want to learn to play the piano?"

"Ah? Is there any?"

"Don't pretend to be stupid." Sakakibara deliberately clenched her fists and forced a smile.

Sakakibara Suzu immediately hugged her head, and glanced over the brim of her hat: "Learning the piano is too difficult. I watched a few videos and found that I have to learn a lot of knowledge, so I gave up."

"Sister Jiang lacks persistence."

Anyone who talks about herself is good, but Sakakihara Ling just doesn't want to hear Qi Mingyue talk about herself.

If you want to ask why, you can only blame this fox for always being against you!
"Then, can you play?"

Hearing this, Sakakihara Le thought that Qi Mingyue could do more than that. Her piano was slightly worse than Jiu Liuli's, and her violin was even better.

"Sister Jiang wants me to teach you, it's not impossible."

"Hey~ It's not like you can't do it. If you say it, there will be no good things."

The gossip of the few people soon ended, because a person walked up to the entrance of the hall.

Even Uncle Tianhai, who was about to lead a few people into the concert hall first, looked over.

He frowned.

Sister Tianhai's mother, Bertha Hekeya, with her long hair tied up and wearing a very elegant and light summer blue dress, walked in with slender legs.

Sakakihara found that many eyes were on Aunt Bertha, and they were all foreigners with blond hair and blue eyes, as if they all knew her.

That's right, most of the people who came to this concert were insiders.

As the mother of a gifted girl, Aunt Bertha must have a high reputation in the circle.

There are two well-dressed couples, probably Germans, who don't speak English anyway.They went up to talk to Aunt Bertha, and Aunt Bertha responded calmly. After talking for a few words, they smiled and nodded to each other.

Aunt Bertha obviously noticed several people, and she walked over with her hands reserved in front of her.

The high-heeled shoes stepped on the tiled ground very crisply.

Aunt and uncle had quarreled before, so it is conceivable that Tianhai Maodian's face darkened the moment he saw Aunt Bertha.

"It's still the same expression after almost a month, but July is here." Mrs. Bertha smiled politely, her head slightly tilted, and the pendant on her earlobe was very shiny.

Sakakibara took a special look at Qi Mingyue, her expression was as calm as the surface of a lake.

Tianhai Maodian: "You don't need to treat me with the same expression, I think we have no common language."

Mrs. Bertha said helplessly, "I just want to see my daughter."

"Didn't you come here to check and accept the results?" Tianhai Maodian said this bluntly.

"This is too much, Maodian, you are a well-known lawyer in Tokyo, you should know that a mother does not need the guardian's consent to visit her children. This is the mother's legal right, and there is no need to get angry because of the previous incident."

Tianhai Maodian did not deny her words: "If you don't visit once in three years, who would know the purpose of your return this time?"

"What are you talking about, Mao Dian," Mrs. Bertha said with a sigh, "I just came back this time to accept commercial advertisements and commercial movies, ah. Of course, visiting Liuli and Qiyue is also a very important part."

Uncle and aunt spoke each other, and the words became sharper and sharper.

Sakakibara could hear the discord between the two of them by the side. Even if they were not excited enough to fight, there were more and more cynicism.

Down to the latest friction, up to the little things about the couple during the marriage period.

Both Uncle Tianhai and Auntie Tianhai have strong personalities, and they will feel uncomfortable if they are slightly disadvantaged.

Hearing this, Sakakihara Raku was very ashamed. It turned out that the quarrel between the barrister and the big star was so routine, and he could even talk about helping someone with laundry.

"How can they quarrel so much?" Sakakihara Ling quietly asked Tianhai Qimingyue.

"Emotional discord."

"Oh~"

In the end, of course, the two had no choice but to break up, and it was only after Mrs. Sakakibara came forward that the two stopped their "friendly" communication.

Sakakihara couldn't help but sigh, ex-wife and ex-husband are indeed enemies.

The concert hall is much larger than Sakakihara Raku imagined. It spreads out in a fan shape, with more than a dozen rows in the middle and more than a dozen rows on both sides. The rear is decorated with stepped block lights, making the hall feel like a classical theater.

The walls are also inlaid with rod-shaped wooden flanges that transmit softly reflected sound to the auditorium.

A pure black piano is placed in the center of the stage, that should be where Jiu Liuli and the others will perform.

At this moment, there is still an hour before the opening of the recital, and the audience has already started to enter the arena, sitting irregularly in every corner of the 2000-person concert hall.

It seems that in addition to many experts in the piano field, there are also many ordinary audiences who come to watch.

The 2200 yen ticket is really not expensive.

Sakakihara Raku and the others are seated in the attic on the second floor, which is also the best place to observe and appreciate.

The attic of Sakakihara Raku and others is on the right, and Uncle Tianhai and Mrs. Sakakihara are on the left.

Because it was a special location, when Sakakibara was seated, a waiter brought snacks and fruits.

They are all high-end products - fruits that are not available in Japan, such as lychee and longan, which make Sakakibara Suzu very happy.

"I haven't eaten."

So he started eating, and after eating, he went to ask for Sakakihara Raku's. Seeing that she wanted to eat, Sakakihara gave it to her casually.

But she hasn't had enough. .

"You want?" Tianhai Qimingyue glanced at her.

"Uh-huh!"

"No."

"Ah~~why is this?"

Tianhai Qimingyue spoke like a life mentor: "It is impossible for everything in life to be satisfactory, and you will not let everyone obey your will to satisfy you. I will not spoil you like a brother."

"But you are mine—" Sakakibaru suddenly covered her mouth.

"Huh? What am I you?" Tianhai Qimingyue calmly peeled a lychee.

"No, nothing." Sakakibaru turned her head decisively and sat back in her seat.

There was a little silence.

"Here, here's this for you, Bell."

Sakakibara Ling followed the voice and looked back, and found that it was Mrs. Bertha. She subconsciously called out, "Auntie."

Mrs. Bertha smiled: "Well, Ling is very good, you can take it if you want."

"Then thank you, auntie." Sakakihara Ling couldn't refuse this kind of fruit that she couldn't usually eat.

"It's nothing." Mrs. Bertha smiled, and then sat down.

Tianhai Qimingyue glanced at her mother who was sitting between herself and Sakakihara Ling, and asked, "Are you sitting here?"

"Of course." Mrs. Bertha's demeanor always has a mature and calm demeanor, "Liu Li knew that your father and I were not getting along recently, so she naturally arranged for me to be with you."

"Sister is really careful."

Tianhai Qimingyue was a person who seldom talked, and after knowing that her mother was indeed sitting here, she stopped talking.

Sakakihara Raku and Sakakibara Suzu greeted each other several times while chatting and laughing with Mrs. Bertha.

Mrs. Bertha also invited Sakakihara to play with her, saying that she would cook him something delicious.

The time moved forward more than ten minutes, and there were 42 minutes left before the start of the recital. Raku Sakakihara suddenly said that he would leave the venue with his mobile phone.

"Why are you going?" Sakakibara Suzu asked.

"Jiu Liuli told me to go to the rehearsal room downstairs."

Now, even Mrs. Bertha and Tianhai Qimingyue, who had been waiting patiently, looked at Sakakihara Le.

"But it's only half an hour before the opening." Sakakibara Suzu was puzzled.

Sakakihara spread her hands, "I can't help it, she called me over."

"Then I'm going too!"

"Go. What are you going to do?"

"I'm going."

"A Ling, don't be willful."

As soon as Sakakihara Raku said this, Sakakihara Suzu fell silent. She turned her head, pinched the hem of her skirt with her small hands, and muttered a big fox in a low voice.

Then I watched Sakakihara leave the attic on the second floor after saying a word to Mrs. Bertha.

Bertha Heikeya turned her head, and in the communication just now, she was keenly aware of some clues. She asked Sakakihara Ling: "Why is Liuli looking for Xiaole?"

"I'm not very clear either." Suzu Sakakibara could see that she was not very happy.

"Then what does the big fox mean?"

Sakakibara Suzu didn't expect her aunt to hear her muttering, and quickly explained: "I'm so sorry, Auntie, I'm just joking."

Bertha Heikeya smiled gently: "It's okay, I don't care."

After that, Mrs. Bertha suddenly left the attic for more than ten minutes.When she came back, Sakakihara hadn't come back yet, but there was already a smile on her face.

Mrs. Bertha lifted the red curtain of the attic, and glanced at Tianhai Qimingyue who was reading an e-book on her mobile phone in her seat.

"July," she called.

Tianhai Qimingyue didn't look back, but nodded her head lightly, indicating that she heard it.

"Come on, come out." Mrs. Bertha smiled and left here again.

Tianhai Qimingyue felt something in her heart, she put down her phone, and glanced at Sakakihara Ling sideways, "What's wrong?"

"Ah? What's the matter?"

"." After pondering for a moment, Tianhai Qimingyue said again, "No, it's nothing."

After speaking, he got up and left the attic.

The corridor of the attic on the second floor is covered with a red carpet, and the surrounding carvings are in the Baroque style of the Renaissance.

The distinctive flower swirls, the smiling angel holding a lyre, the beauty looking down while holding on to the vines, and the carp huddled together and spraying water to the left and right.
In such an atmosphere, Tianhai Qimingyue quietly came to her mother standing next to a flowerpot.

She raised her gold-rimmed glasses and looked at her smiling mother.

"what's up?"

"Ale and Liuli are dating, right?" Bertha Heikeya asked with her hands crossed.

"."

"Yes." Tianhai Qimingyue replied.

"How long?"

"Not long."

"How are you feeling in July?"

"." Tianhai Qimingyue just looked at her mother quietly.

"You are still the same, it's okay to talk to me more"

Bertha Heikeya knew her daughter very well. Even though she had rarely seen her since the divorce, her personality had hardly changed from when she was a child.

"July, I still remember how you were when you were a child. Even though the daily tasks were so heavy and you felt uncomfortable after practicing the piano, you still wanted to go out. Go out, why do you want to go out as a child? Originally I'm still curious, but after seeing Xiao Le, I understood."

"Haha. That's really interesting, childhood sweetheart, isn't it?"

Bertha Heikeya smiled with her royal blue eyes half down, her smile was very sunny and beautiful, her shoulders moved amidst the laughter, "Originally, I thought you forgot, but I didn't expect you to remember my childhood sweetheart haha, I didn't expect seven Yue, you will also be entangled in this kind of thing. Haha."

Bertha Heikeya collected her expression in a moment, and put down the hands covering her face: "How about it, it feels uncomfortable to be robbed by your sister, right?"

Tianhai Qimingyue still didn't speak.

Bertha Heikeya knew that this daughter was very smart, she knew too much information, she would not say too much to herself, and would not admit too many things she did not want to admit.

The corner of Bertha Heikeya's mouth curled into a smile, she bent slightly, put her mouth next to her daughter's ear, and whispered to her: "Why don't you do me a favor, so that I can take Liuli abroad for a year, and You can also get what you want, July."

"."

Bertha Heikeya stood up straight again, she tilted her head slightly with a smile, and the crystal ornaments on the earrings shone brightly, "The important thing is not what you and Jiu Liuli think, but what Xiao Le thinks, right? As long as Liuli leaves In a year, no man will dislike you, July, and you are so similar to Liuli."

"One year, you can't do much."

"That's not necessarily the case." Mrs. Bertha tapped her face with her fingers, her expression and movements were very young and playful, ". I can see from the tea party that Liuli's level has not regressed. As long as she is willing to go to Europe with me to participate in the next February Chopin International Piano is equivalent to getting a stepping stone in the future. Although Maodian will be troublesome after this, I still have the confidence to guard Liuli in Europe
"How? It's not that your sister won't come back. It's only one year. After one year, won't she come back? At that time, you will still be good sisters and good sisters, and you can still get what you want in July.

"Everyone is happy, isn't it?"

Tianhai Qimingyue sighed helplessly, "I don't like this feeling very much."

Bertha Heikeya's smile became even more beautiful, and there seemed to be a touch of bright red wine at the corner of her mouth: "It means, don't refuse, right?"
