[Black Basket] Winter Cherry Blossoms

The lunch time this time is longer than before. Once they really open their hearts, the father and son seem to have endless topics to talk about, ranging from small things around them to family affairs. chime in.

This is a good thing. Seeing that the father and son get along well, Saya and Masao Nakamura are not inconvenient to disturb. After lunch, they each found an excuse to leave the table early to busy with other things.Saya went to wash the dishes, while Masao Nakamura went outside to smoke, creating a quiet space for the father and son to chat together.

"Seijuro, I'm giving this to you, maybe you will use it in the future." Taking advantage of the opportunity to chat alone, Akashi Shunji took out a small velvet bag from his arms and stuffed it into his son's hand.

"This is..." Akashi was puzzled. He had an impression of this velvet bag. He used to see his father staring at it in a daze in the study from time to time. It can be seen that it is a very important item. Now his father handed it into his hands. , What is the intention?

"That's the engagement ring I gave your mother." Akashi Shunji told his son the origin of the item, "Although it is a cheap item compared to the wedding ring, it has a very important meaning to me. "

"Dad, you should keep it by your side instead of giving it to me." Akashi refused his father's gift. He knew very well how his father endured the pressure of work in the days after his mother passed away. That painful time.The wife's relics are a kind of consolation and a kind of strength, supporting his father to raise him up and worry about his study and life, so he cannot accept this gift.

"Oh... your mother wants to help you." Akashi Shunji sighed helplessly. He couldn't help admiring his wife's foresight. She could even predict the difficulties his son would encounter in the future. Just make good life choices, and don’t let go of good things at first glance, for your happiness, she only wants you to get what you want.”

Akashi frowned suspiciously at his father's weird words, and he asked, "Dad, what do you mean..."

A weird idea popped up in Akashi's heart, it was a possibility he had never thought of, no, it was impossible to be precise.

But there was a hint hidden in his father's words, pointing out that he and Saya had known each other a long time ago, so what's going on? What other important things did his father hide from him?

"Yes, you and Saya met when you were young." Akashi Shunji did not directly say the specific time of the meeting, but continued to tell the amazing fact, "Perhaps you have doubted in your heart whether the meeting between Saya and you came from The special arrangement of the elders, I can answer you with certainty, that incident was purely accidental, your mother and I just separated you on purpose."

"Why..." Akashi was completely confused by his father's words, "Why did you do this?"

"Three years old, eighty. Your mother saw your personality trend early on. On the surface, you obey the arrangements of your elders, but in your heart you will always act according to your own decisions. In order to prove the possibility of you and Saya, she treats you I did a test. If you can reunite with Saya when you were growing up, then you are considered destined. If you can truly fall in love and enter the auditorium, then you are destined. Of course, your mother thinks this possibility is extremely small, so in Before she passed away, she asked me to continue to observe you, and confidently let her prophesy come to me."

"Mother's prophecy?" Akashi was very curious about what strange words his mother would say.

"Yes, she told me, Shunji, Seijuro will be stronger than you in the future, and he will definitely bring back the granddaughter of the Snake family." Recalling what his wife said, Akashi Shunji still felt very depressed, Which man doesn't want to be the number one in his woman's heart forever, and his son is better than his father, should he secretly sigh in his heart that time is not forgiving?

"Cough..." Hearing his father's words, Akashi immediately choked on the tea. Jiang was still old and spicy. He didn't think he was capable of surpassing his father now. As for whether he could bring Saya back to Akashi's house, it was still a question. It is unknown, but he is confident that no matter how many storms the road ahead has, he will go on with Saya.

"Anyway, you accept that ring, hoping it can help you fulfill your wish." Junji Akashi asked his son to accept the gift, but what he heard was still his son's rejection.

"No, Dad, wishes come true on my own, and I have the ability to give Saya an unforgettable gift." Akashi had already made a decision in his heart, he would not spend his family's money to buy Saya a birthday present, That's something a dude would do, and Saya is not a girl with strong material desires, and he never asked him to give anything as a gift. He just wanted to give her a real birthday present within his ability.

"Well then, just do what you want. Your mother and I believe that you will not let us down." The son's firm attitude is the best answer, and Akashi Shunji no longer worries about it. Falling in love is something for young people, and it is also their test. As an elder, he can only watch from the sidelines and cannot interfere too much.

The lunch break time passed slowly in the chat between the father and son, and the lunch break was not really over until the activity broadcast sounded in each classroom.The afternoon event is the highlight that the students are looking forward to. The selection of Lord of Light, the vacant stage in the gymnasium, will usher in a new peak flow of people again. Whether it is girls from our school or other schools, all gather in front of the stage, just to watch the annual The competition for the king of campus.

Originally, Akashi Shunji was going to cheer for his son, but he received a call from the Kyoto branch temporarily and had to rush back to deal with some urgent matters. In desperation, he had to bid farewell to his son and asked him to have fun at the school festival. Then send Masao Nakamura over to pick them up.

"Father, please take care of your body and don't get tired." Akashi felt satisfied that his father could take time out of his busy schedule to visit him, and he also hoped that his father would take care of his health and not overwork himself from work.

"I'm fine, Seijuro." His son's concern warmed Akashi Shunji's heart, and before he left, he encouraged him with pleasure, "You should work hard for the afternoon activities, even if it's an entertainment game, you Do your best to make a good impression on her, too."

"Yes, I will definitely win." Watching his father leave in the family car, Akashi stood at the school gate and waited until the car was gone before returning to school.At this time, the seniors of the committee took him to get ready to prepare for the upcoming selection of Lord of Light.

In the same dressing room, Akashi ran into Naoki who slipped away to take a nap before, and saw him dozing off again and again, unwilling to wake up.However, when the chatting words of the seniors drifted into his ears, he seemed to be possessed by a magical force, and the sleepiness disappeared without a trace, replaced by his burning fighting spirit.

"I heard that this year's King of Light will have a special prize, and I don't know who will win."

"It should be the same as the elementary school festival, the prizes are related to romance."

If the prize is linked to the relationship, it will become even more strange.

Akashi suddenly has an ominous premonition that Naoki will participate in this event with great interest, and it may also be related to the prizes. Really, a certain person just doesn't give up and insists on fighting him to the end every time. Well, he will accept this challenge. Don't blame him for being merciless when the time comes.

The senior girls in charge of hairstyles took turns to help the candidates with the final arrangement. When everything was ready, the lights on the stage were turned on, and the two hosts took the lead on the stage. The hosts of the festival are Masahiko Inoue and Emi Kobayashi.

"Ah, we are the host again, and the students in the audience seem to be very dissatisfied." Before the candidates took the stage, Masahiko Inoue, who is the host, made a routine opening remark.

"Correct me, Senior Inoue, they are dissatisfied with you, not me." Kobayashi Emi replied displeased.

Regarding the junior girl's complaints, Inoue Masahiko smiled instead of anger, and said: "Don't be like this, junior girl, anyway, I was the Lord of Light last year, so give me some face."

"Senior Inoue, I advise you to finish today's work seriously. You see, everyone is getting impatient." Kobayashi Huimei asked her partner to stick to the principle of less nonsense and honest work, so as not to provoke public anger.

"Hahaha, I'm sorry, I was wrong." Under Kobayashi Huimi's stare, Inoue Masahiko immediately became serious, he cleared his throat, and said to the audience: "Welcome everyone to come to Luoshan Festival and participate in this year's In the selection of the Lord of Light, who is the real king in your hearts, please prepare the color cards in your hands, and cast your precious vote for the candidate you fancy."

"This year's selection score is composed of three parts. The first is the selection by the school, the second is the selection of comprehensive results, and the third is the on-site voting. The one with the highest sum of the three parts will be this year's King of Light." Kobayashi Huimei pressed Then at the end of Masahiko Inoue's words, I added the selection rules for the Lord of Light.

"Then what are we waiting for, the game starts now!"

Just as Masahiko Inoue finished speaking, the curtain behind him was drawn, and several candidates were seen walking towards the stage.Immediately, the audience became very lively. Some girls cheered in unison for the boy they liked in groups, and some even made their own yogurt to cheer for the boy they liked. Among them, Naoki had the most fans , the popularity on the scene directly surpassed his cousin, and he is currently the most popular candidate.

On the other hand, because Akashi has disclosed his love affair, in the first selection vote, the number of girls' votes dropped sharply, but after the school stage play, the number of votes increased steadily again, and the number of votes with Naoki was slowly getting closer.

"The first competition is an impromptu talent show. Candidates are invited to come to my place to draw lots and perform according to the content on the note. The audience will also decide the final vote based on the quality of your performance." Waiting for the candidates All in place, Masahiko Inoue detailed the requirements for the first game to them.

Ad hoc talent show?

Several candidates on the stage were stunned at the same time. Thinking of the competition of luck in the elementary school festival, everyone felt lingering fears, fearing that this selection event would also be the fate of being spoofed.

However, no matter how frightened I was, I had to finish the selection process. Starting from the candidates on the left, I lined up to draw lots. As a result, unexpectedly, the content of this meeting was not spoof, it was a very serious entertainment activity, and some people drew lots. According to Zhongshu, some of them are flower arrangements, or rakugo, while the most difficult ones are musical instruments.

Akashi and Naoki were very lucky to be recruited. In their elite education, they mainly focused on mathematics and foreign language training, and there was no such course as musical instrument performance.The violin was drawn by Naoki. In terms of difficulty, he had practiced the violin for a year and it was easy for him to play the violin. He could basically play a complete piece of music. In the first competition, he was fooled and passed the test without any risk.

Compared with Naoki who has relevant professional practice, Akashi obviously suffers a lot. Fortunately, he has a good teacher at home. Even if it is a usual pastime, he can learn the skills of playing the piano from fun.

That good teacher is his mother. Since she passed away, the piano at home has been sealed for many years and no one has played it.Now sitting on the piano bench again, touching those black and white keys with my hands, the happy childhood memories came to my mind again.

He still remembers the qin piece that he often played. If his father said that his mother had been watching him, he would use this qin piece as a gift and dedicate it to her in heaven.

Raise your hand and press the keys, and the beautiful melody flows from your fingertips, as if you are leading people into the quiet night.

The breeze blows the branches, and the silver moonlight shines through the night and falls on the calm lake. This is the interlaced beauty of silver and black, which makes people unable to resist indulging in it.As the rhythm accelerated, the moonlight flowed through the mountains like a flowing spring, and gradually brought the music to the end. The euphemistic and romantic "Moonlight" was a gift he gave to his mother to thank her for her long-term support. Guard and love.

When the finger pressed the last key, Akashi's impromptu performance ended, and the audience was silent. The audience seemed to have not recovered, thinking that they were still in that beautiful night.After a while, someone finally clapped their hands, and then warm applause resounded throughout the stadium. Everyone was intoxicated by his song "Moonlight".
