Trapped in the sunset

Thunderous applause rang out in the GrosserMusikvereinssaal hall in Vienna Austria.Known as the world's number one music hall, the GrosserMusikvereinssaal is a historic building.The history contained in it bears the names of Brahms, Bruckner, and Mahler, and what inherits these histories is the now world-famous Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra.

Standing on the spacious stage, the 22-year-old Haiyin Temple Weiyang looked at the crowded auditorium in front of her, the conductor beside her, and the members of the symphony orchestra behind her who spent a month with her, silently enduring the fast flow The tears that came out smiled and bowed to them.Gratitude overflowed in her heart, and underneath the gratitude was deep satisfaction and happiness.For her current life, for her work at the moment.

It has been more than a year since I graduated from Juilliard University in the United States.After graduating, she has received many invitations to perform in public performances, and has been touring around the world continuously and indirectly.During this period, although sometimes she was so tired that she wanted to run away without everything, but that kind of thought only flashed in her mind.

Thinking of this, she landed on Miura Hotaru who was sitting in the front row—no, now called Akiba Hotaru—and Akiba Hisashi, and couldn't help thinking of someone far away in Japan.

her lover.

She was also the one who made the promise at the wedding of Miura Hotaru and Akiba Hisashi last year.

She could spend five years pursuing her dream wholeheartedly; he would spend five years embracing and building his family's business.And five years later, she will take his last name.Of course, that doesn't mean she'll give up music after that.In contrast, when they made the agreement, he said to her like this——

"After you get married, just continue to do what you like. Leave the rest to me."

His eyes were full of seriousness when he said that.But it was precisely because of his intention that she was more sure of the decision she had buried in her heart all this time.

"No, five years is enough for me."

No matter how much she likes to play everywhere, she wants to have a home where she can settle down.To be able to have a fixed space that belongs only to oneself, a place where people accompany you, and a place where you can be yourself with peace of mind.She plans to open a music classroom near her home, and occasionally accept invitations to perform in public. As for the rest of the time, she just wants to stay by his side and accompany him.

It's not about giving up on your dreams.

But when I grow up, my dream changes.

Wei Young came back to her senses and looked at Qiu Tingying who was holding a bouquet of flowers in front of her, her lips curled up happily.She knew that Qiu Tingying understood her, because both of them met someone who was extremely important to their lives.

"Come on, Weiyang."

After reading Qiu Tingying's lips, she nodded silently.

. . .

A young man with conspicuous red hair sat between a group of people who were fighting and calmly drank the coffee in his hand.The scene that should obviously look out of place seems very natural to him, as if it should be so.He was calm, because he existed like a king among them; they fought with peace of mind, because they knew that he would indulge them.

Those who were recognized by Akashi Seijuro are actually very happy.

Momoi Wuyue had a smile on her lips, looking at a table of opponents and partners who played basketball together on those teams in high school who were obviously adults but played like children.To be able to keep in touch like this for so many years and have dinner together is really something she never dreamed of since Teiko's "Generation of Miracles" was torn apart.

They have survived the disagreement back then.

Now for their friendship, I believe not only her, but everyone cherishes it very much.After all, how many friends can one have for life?From the original "Generation of Miracles" six people have increased to no less than twenty people. They have gone through many stages of life together, and they have supported each other through many low tides in life. It is everyone who has come to this point today. credit.

but--

Momoi rolled her eyes at Ome, who had snatched Zhenghuan's food from her family, and rubbed her forehead in embarrassment.She thinks what she can't understand the most now is the fact that Ah Da became a policeman.Sure enough, Zhejun is better. . .But when it comes to Tetsu-kun, Momoi looked up, and found "First Love" who was sitting next to her calmly staring at the phone and exclaimed——

"Oh! Zhejun, you scared me to death! Have you been sitting here all this time?"

Hei Zizhe also put away his phone and nodded: "Yes. Mr. Huang Se and the others are too noisy."

Momoi clenched her fists understandingly, and silently sighed once again in her heart that her vision back then was really great.She has never regretted dedicating the position of first love to Zhejun, even though this relationship has not yet come to fruition.She thought she had already let go, it would be foolish to wait after liking someone for so long.Think about it, she is also a beauty anyway, how could she not find her own belonging? !

"By the way, Zhejun, what were you doing just now?"

Heizi picked up the vanilla milkshake on the table: "It's nothing, just send a text message to Wei Young."

Hearing the long-lost name, Momoi immediately regained her spirits: "Wei Young? Isn't she in Austria now? The performance should be quite busy."

"She said that this time the performance is over and she is heading to the airport now,"

"Where are you planning to go next?"

"Should go back to America." When Heizi said this, he looked in the direction of the red-haired young man: "She said she looked like coming back to Japan." She said she missed them, but Heizizhe also knew that his childhood playmate It was the man sitting in the crowd that Ban really missed.

Momoi followed his line of sight and instantly understood.

Sometimes, she really doesn't know whether she should envy or sympathize with Wei Young.I envy her for finding the most important person in her life.Sympathize with her that she can't meet the person she loves anytime and anywhere.Although they all have their own jobs now - Kuroko became a kindergarten teacher, Kise became a pilot, Midorima became a doctor, Murasakihara lived up to expectations and became a pastry chef, and Akashi inherited Amateur shogi players who have left their own family’s company—they often don’t meet each other, but maybe they all think of the same piece, and their “home” stays in Japan after all.

She still remembered that when Akashi proposed to Weiyang last year, Weiyang took the flight operated by Kise and rushed all the way back to Japan from Germany to attend the wedding of Qiu Ting's senior sister.When Kise learned that Akashi's girlfriend was going to take his plane, regardless of whether it was three in the morning in Japan, he immediately called Akashi to report - of course, he did not die because of the special circumstances.

But to be honest, she admires Wei Young a lot.The fact that Akashi had a girlfriend in the third year of high school shocked all of them.Although they knew from the Winter Cup in the first year of high school that Kaiyinji Weiyang had a great relationship with their former captain, when it really happened, they all sighed silently, "How can Akashi even fall in love faster than them!"

But what was even more surprising was that three months later, Wei Young announced that she was going back to the United States to study at university, and then left Japan for New York in less than a week.Its speed is so fast that no one has time to digest it.

At that time, it was Akashi who was the most indifferent.

. . .I really want to know what Akashi-kun is thinking. . .

. . .

"Four years later, Japan, Kansai International Airport—"

"Wei Young, long time no see!"

Ai Harada waved vigorously to greet her friend whom she had not seen for a long time.

A trace of astonishment flashed across Wei Yang's silver-gray eyes who had just stepped into the hall.She recalled the day when she first arrived in Japan when she was in high school, recalled the loneliness and anxiety that filled her heart when she got off the plane, and then recalled all the things she had experienced in the past few years, and she couldn't help feeling a sore nose.She touched the corners of her eyes with her hand, then covered her mouth and smiled.The warmth from the bottom of her heart drowned out the sadness that just surfaced, no doubt reminding her all the time that her world is no longer the one it used to be.

In Japan, she met the friends and partners she cherishes now, created many irreplaceable memories, opened up the knots buried in her heart for many years, and met the person she wanted to spend her life with.Coming to Japan was indeed the best decision she ever made.

She thought of her brother in America and her father who had moved back not too long ago, and the things they said to her before she boarded today's flight, silently saying thank you again.

She was really, really, happy.

She was so happy that she was so afraid that all this was a dream.

She was so happy that she dared not fall asleep occasionally.

"Welcome back, Wei Young."

But now, looking at the people who came to pick up the plane with Ai Harada and feeling the powerful arms embracing her, she believed in the word "miracle" and believed that all of this was real.

When those warm lips gently pressed against her lips ignoring the wolf howls and exclamations of the onlookers, a drop of tear fell from her slowly closed eyes, leaving a salty tear in her mouth along her cheek. Salty taste.The man in front of him straightened up slightly, wiped away her tears with his thumb, and dropped a very light kiss on her forehead.

"Welcome home, Wei Young."

The man said in a calmer voice.

And this time, without any hesitation, she replied——

——"Well, I'm back."

. . .

Yes, she is home.

Back to this place that has all kinds of ties to her.

Maybe the road ahead will be a bit bumpy, but she believes that as long as she is with him and them, those difficulties will not be difficulties.

Under her dream, she had a simpler wish, that all of them could live a simple and happy life.
