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

Chapter 188 How about calling me Mom? (Cultural Festival 8)

At the beginning of November when the ginkgo was flying, in the classroom of the music department.

Sakakibara climbed up to the keys with both hands, obligatoryly pressed the chords with her left hand, and quickly jumped out of the piano with her right hand to make a fairly beautiful sound.

"Stop, can I have a little refreshment, please?"

Tianhai Qimingyue's suspicion flew over coldly.

"This piece is your personal solo. If you don't play it well, you will lose not only the face of the school's music department, but also your own face."

Sakakihara Raku was no longer surprised by such harsh criticism.

But even if Xiao Qiyue criticized himself so severely, he didn't know where he didn't play carefully.

He was a little absent-minded.

"What went wrong just now?"

Tianhai Qimingyue's tone softened a little: "Be careful, your thumb can be caught by the white keys in the fast section just now. Didn't it go well during the review yesterday? The simplified score I gave you is definitely enough for you to play. "

Playing the piano is by no means a one-day skill.

This is the deepest experience of Raku Sakakibara after learning the piano.

Now Sakakihara Raku's piano level is not easy to estimate.

He can play everything below the eighth grade, and he can play some pieces above the tenth grade, but he can't play some nine-grade pieces.

"To Alice", "The Wedding of Dreams". Those songs that are familiar to ordinary people, but also very nice, are only grade [-] or [-] on the piano.

"I was a little restless just now." Sakakibara said as she slid her fingers across the keys.

"I just want to remind you that you will be performing on stage in one hour."

"Well, I know. But when I was playing just now, it suddenly occurred to me that my aunt is coming over this afternoon."

"Mom is coming?" Tianhai Qimingyue was puzzled.

"Qi Mingyue, don't you know?" Sakakihara Le turned his body sideways.

Tianhai Qimingyue shook her head: "I don't know, but she came here for that purpose."

"Then it seems that you have already guessed it," Sakakihara stared at her reflection in the lacquer of the piano, "I can see that Jiu Liuli really wants to get out of her aunt's influence, but she doesn't seem to know what she should do."

Tianhai Qimingyue thought it was very interesting, folded her arms and said, "So, are you going to ask me?"

"I don't need to say that, you are asking me why I was distracted."

"You said it so carefully, I believe that there is definitely a sense of wanting to seek my opinion."

Sakakihara Raku was a little embarrassed by being exposed, and he was trying his best to pretend to be normal: "I definitely never thought about it, but you took the initiative to mention it. If you can give me any advice, I am willing to listen. After all, you are twin sisters. You know Jiu Liuli better than I do."

Tianhai Qimingyue shook her head: "Unfortunately, my sister and I are not getting along now, and we will definitely not give any advice here."

"Absolutely not?"

"have opinions?"

"Actually, I feel that Qi Mingyue's 'absolute' is a bit unreliable."

"Heh," Tianhai Qimingyue sneered, "Are you trying to say that I don't keep my integrity?"

"Yesterday you said you would never wear a maid outfit, today—"

Tianhai Qimingyue lowered her head and closed her eyes, her voice was quite indifferent: "I don't want to say the same thing a third time."

Same thing?

Sakakibara quickly searched for memories about Qi Mingyue in her mind.

In the end, the time was fixed at the Shura field after lunch.

[I hate it, but I can't stand someone liking it]
[Didn't I say that before?If you like maid outfits, I'll show you them, just this one time. ]
It seemed that Qi Mingyue was referring to this.

If I remember correctly, Qi Mingyue also said something similar about "Only you are special" in the infirmary before.

It seems to mean this, but Sakakihara Raku doesn't remember clearly.

Only me is special?

Qi Mingyue, do you really need me?

Sakakihara couldn't remember what happened when she was a child, and couldn't quite understand Qi Mingyue's feelings for her.

On the contrary, he was very clear about Jiu Liuli's feelings for him.

She will only show her other side in front of her, and she will only experience the comfort of peace of mind in her arms, so when Jiu Liuli expresses a similar meaning to herself, "Only you are special", Sakakihara Raku will understand it better.

But no matter how you say it, these words of Qi Mingyue still make Sakakihara feel a little bit ashamed.

More comprehensively, her love made Sakakihara feel ashamed.

"Let's not talk about it."

"Brother should have his own judgment in his heart, why bother to ask me?" Tianhai Qimingyue took the book and sat back in her original position, her back straightened with gold-rimmed glasses.

"How should I put it, I'm just a little unsure that I want to help Jiu Liuli find some hobbies that really belong to her, but I don't think piano and archery are very important things to Jiu Liuli."

"What is the criterion of this 'importance'?" Tianhai Qimingyue asked.

"It's like reading a book to you Qimingyue," Sakakihara explained, "I think the meaning given to you by the book is much stronger than the meaning given to Jiu Liuli by the piano and bow."

Tianhai Qimingyue heard this, and looked at him, her eyes always reflected Sakakihara Raku's thinking.

"Qi Mingyue?"

"."

Qi Mingyue didn't say anything more, obviously she didn't intend to continue the discussion, and Sakakihara also wisely stopped talking about it.

However, he was a little curious.

He asked again:
"Why isn't Qi Mingyue like Jiu Liuli?"

"Same what?"

"That's right, so she needs and relies on her aunt's support. You see, for Jiu Liuli, her aunt was her goal and motivation when she was a child. She wants to get her mother's approval and response, which is also the meaning of her progress. "

"."

"."

?

Tianhai Qimingyue's sudden silence also made Sakakihara Raku fall silent.

After a while, he asked with some doubts about Tianhai Qimingyue who had been staring at him:
"Why didn't you talk all of a sudden?"

The girl turned her delicate profile and replied, "Nothing."

Sakakihara felt a little weird, but she couldn't tell what was weird at all.

He just thinks that Qi Mingyue's side face is very beautiful, so that the cherry blossoms flying in spring are overshadowed by it.

At this time, Sachiko, the head of the music department, and Ai Mizukami, the class monitor, knocked on the door of the practice room and told Sakakihara Raku to rehearse the last song with everyone.

"Sakakibara-kun, come here."

"no problem."

Tianhai Qimingyue took the initiative to say goodbye and leave.

There is nothing difficult about rehearsing, after all, it has been practiced many times.

It took half an hour for the final rehearsal, and Sakakihara Raku followed everyone with large and small musical instruments to the performance theater set up separately by Mingde Yijuku.

Floating clouds obscured the sun, and a hand-painted performance catalog was erected under the zelkova tree outside the theater. Sakakihara Raku stood not far away and saw that the symphony of the music department was scheduled for 02:30 in the afternoon.

Afterwards, he followed the crowd through the "employee channel" and entered the backstage.

Performing at the cultural festival is neither big nor small.

Nervousness is unavoidable, but Raku Sakakibara will not be nervous because of her experience in participating in large-scale competitions.

Water love is different, she plays the violinist in the music department.

As a girl and a first grader, Ai Shuishui, who was not considered bold in itself, began to get nervous behind the scenes.

Sakakihara Raku was standing behind the squad leader, and seeing her nervousness, he said to her by the way:
"come on."

"what"

In front, Ai Mizukami's shoulders trembled, as if she was frightened.

"Thank you, thank you."

The movement of her answer was very weak, but she still turned her head and said thank you to Sakakihara Raku with a smile.

He wondered if his voice scared her instead?
Sakakihara also smiled in response.

The stage staff began to inform everyone to prepare, and Minister Sachiko immediately directed everyone to their arranged positions.

Sakakihara Raku also walked towards the polished upright piano stand.

During the period, Sakakihara also found Tianhai Qimingyue watching herself from behind the scenes.

Leaving aside why she came here after leaving, the important thing is that she gave herself a slight lip-sync.

[scumbag]
After that, she turned around and left the backstage.

Sakakihara was left with a dazed expression.

?

what?
Would you be a scumbag if you said cheers to the squad leader?
Enter the venue and sit on the piano bench in front of the audience.

Then, before the music officially started, Sakakihara Raku glanced at the auditorium during the time when everyone was preparing.

I don't know if it's because of the unity of siblings or something, but Sakakihara Raku saw Sakakihara Suzu at a glance.

If it's outside, in a private occasion, Ah Ling will definitely greet her.

Tianhai Jiuliuli was also in the audience.

Tianhai Qimingyue stood on the outermost side of the auditorium, looking at the stage from a place without the slightest light.

What are you doing over there?
Sakakihara Raku had doubts in his heart.

The members of the symphony orchestra of the music department were nervous, calm, timid, and confident.

In short, under the command of the instructor, the music started.

Sakakibara didn't have time to look for the shadows of Tianhai Jiuliuli and Tianhai Qimingyue at all, so the teacher's classic four-beat command gesture directed towards him.

Like catching a duck to the shelf, Sakakihara Raku's fingers climbed onto the keys, and the music began to flow at his fingertips.

The bone-colored keys are so bright that they seem to reflect the gazes of the audience.

Sakakihara was a little nervous.

Fortunately, the music at the beginning was relatively soothing, like the leisurely time in the grassland pasture, and Sakakibara music did not go wrong.

Because of his beginning, the music became more and more abundant, with stringed instruments, brass instruments, and woodwind instruments joining in one after another.

The rhythm began to become faster, and it began to rise and fall like a raging river. Even the teacher's commanding hand shook rapidly as if he had taken a stimulant.

The stimulation of the music makes Sakakihara Raku feel more excited when practicing more and more. Although the piano is only a part of the chords, the hands unconsciously want to play according to the memory and perform with all their strength according to the given.

I don't want to be left behind by other instruments, I don't want to be left behind by the students in the music department, the piano sound mixed in the symphony seems to be unwilling to admit defeat, competing with other instruments.

Fighting but harmonious, passionate but peaceful.
Tianhai Qimingyue watched indifferently from the side of the stage, her eyes locked on Sakakihara Raku's hands, followed his rhythm, and silently recited the next four beats he was going to play.

"It's okay, the chain is not broken."

Sakakihara Raku's eyes were locked on his hands and score.He played to this point, and his hands were already tired. He played with difficulty, and couldn't help but think of Jiu Liuli's piano recital that he had watched before.

The talent of closing your eyes and letting your whole body and mind enter the music is so far away, like a dream.

The overall rhythm of the music became more and more exciting, and Sakakihara Raku followed everyone's rhythm until his vest sweated.

Sakakibara felt bitter in her heart. Sure enough, this stage was completely different from the practice.

The rhythm involuntarily picked up.

Fast, unusually fast, the entire symphony burst out as it officially entered the fourth stage, Sakakihara Raku only felt that his body and mind were scattered by the stimulating music, leaving only his hands with pitiful thoughts , still struggling on the keys, like struggling upward in the abyss of the sea, drowning in the throat and nasal cavity, but still trying to find the unreachable light.

He quickly found it - Tianhai Qimingyue was standing in the secluded place before and looked at herself. She was standing at the outermost side of the auditorium, alone, in that place without any lights, and the figure should be swallowed up.

Just like she taught herself on weekdays, the girl only gave him an upward look.

Sakakihara smiled.

Because she is talking.

[good. ]
Does that count as a compliment?
Such a cold attitude, such an arrogant look, is it considered encouragement?

Sakakibara laughed again. For a month, the technical experience of practicing until seven or eight in the evening almost every day was ready to come out on the keyboard.

Getting better.

He began to calm down.

With the last quiet piano solo of Raku Sakakibara at the end, a fierce performance ended perfectly. Hundreds of students in the venue clapped and cheered like booing, and tourists and parents from outside also smiled at the stage. The crowd applauded.

Raku Sakakihara stood up with everyone in the music department and thanked the audience.

At the same time, he also found Tianhai Jiuliuli standing in the center of the auditorium looking at him.

"Ling Jiang, is your brother so good at playing the piano?"

"Uh-huh."

Sakakibara Suzu reluctantly responded, the smile on her face was particularly stiff at this time.

My brother has practiced the piano to such an extent. How many times does this guy have to touch those two foxes?
We have to practice the piano together every afternoon, right?
Sakakibara Suzu suddenly felt a little sad, because she felt a little bit, Sakakihara Raku had left a little bit of fox smell on her body.

"Not bad, right?" Sakakibara said goodbye to everyone in the music department, and saw Tianhai Qimingyue who had been standing alone in the corner all the time, and he walked over to talk to her.

"Normal." Tianhai Qimingyue's attitude was indifferent.

"That's not what you said just now."

"When did I tell you you're good?"

"Just now, I was playing the fourth stage."

"I'm afraid you're suffering from delusional disorder, I'm just looking to see if you play well or not." Tianhai Qimingyue crossed her chest with one hand, brushed her long hair by her ear with the other hand, and put her fingers behind her ears, with a cold attitude It also turned into a helpless attitude.

"That must be pretty cool."

"generally."

"The instructor praised me behind the scenes just now." Sakakihara Raku has a backer.

"The instructor is just an amateur." Tianhai Qimingyue even raised her eyes in disdain, "Don't you think that you are like a child who hastily asked his mother for praise after getting 100 points in the exam?"

Sakakibara was taken aback.

You, Qi Mingyue, mother?

Is there any connection between your Qimingyue and the word mother?

"Isn't it?" Tianhai Qimingyue questioned, and raised her eyes condescendingly, "But if you want to call me mom, you can call me mom, and I can try to praise you reluctantly."

It's messed up, it's going to turn upside down!
"can."

"Then shout."

"I'll call again when uncle is at the dinner table tomorrow. Just like this, mother Qimingyue, please, your breakfast, fried rice with potato chips." Sakakihara stood up straight, loosened his tie, and took The respectful tone imitated the scene at that time.

Tianhai Qimingyue responded gracefully without hesitation: "Then I will thank my dear son in advance, do you need to touch your head as a reward?"

".Do you really dare to promise?"

Tianhai Qimingyue laughed in a rare way: "As long as you dare to shout, I will naturally dare to answer."

Sakakihara Le tried to think about the picture of herself calling "Mom" to Qi Mingyue at the family's dinner table tomorrow morning.

Forget it, forget it.

Even if it's just joking with each other.

But uncle and mother, Jiu Liuli and Ah Ling, why don't they stare at themselves?
