Tokyo Love Story

The melodious sound of the piano gradually rose, and a pleasant melody rang out in the empty piano room.

Yukisa Morishima began her second piano piece.

Ah.

For no reason, Yukie Morishima chuckled silently.

She could now understand the complex emotions in her mother's eyes.

The gentleness is because the person you are looking at is the continuation of your bloodline, and the complexity of your eyes is because you are standing at the vast end of time, looking at your younger self in another timeline.

It's not the so-called seeing things that reminds you of someone, nor is it the headache caused by the trivialities of life, it's simply nostalgia.

As someone who has been through it, I miss the person I was back then.

Just like she did back then, Yukisa Morishima, who was playing the piano seriously, did not notice the look in her mother's eyes behind her. She was already immersed in the world of the song.

The pair of fair hands fluttered on the black and white piano keys like butterflies. As the notes flowed, the sound of the piano moved forward in harmony with the performer's emotions.

So, naturally, the story in the song was told.

"This girl..."

When the story with strong emotions came to her face, there was a hint of emotion in Yukie Morishima's eyes.

Some time ago, she also advised Xuesha, telling the girl that people's energy is limited every day, and it is already difficult to do one thing well, let alone do two things at the same time.

Even though Xuesha's talent in music is already exaggerated, as a person who has experienced it, she knows very well that as long as her daughter starts to slack off, her progress will slow down visibly.

Competition in the music industry is much more brutal than it appears.

The winner can get everything he wants, whether it is the fame under the spotlight or the profits from various stage performances, while the loser can only stand in the darkness where no light can penetrate, silently watching the people on the stage glow and shine.

And she has experienced the feeling of being ignored.

But the current reality has told her that her empiricism does not apply to Xuesha.

Xuesha was not affected by this incident.

In fact, it's quite the opposite. Because of her success in academics, her piano practice seems to be getting better and better.

Compared to the winter vacation period, the girl's current condition is at least two levels better.

In a sense, it really fulfilled what the old principal said to her.

——Emotions can be an obstacle to doing good things, or they can be a great driving force to push people across mountains and seas to their destination. What each person will become depends entirely on the choice of one thought.

Of course, it could also be because of... someone.

Morishima Yukie stopped thinking and focused her attention back on what was in front of her.

Her eyes passed over the thin figure of Yukisa Morishima and fell on the piano.

A blue hedgehog plush toy was placed neatly in the middle.

She knew that this doll was grabbed by Che from the claw machine when he and his daughter went out on a date.

However, she never expected that her daughter would really be so obsessed with this hedgehog.

From the piano room to the bedroom, no matter where this girl goes in the house, except the bathroom, Xuesha will take this blue hedgehog with her.

The most important thing is that I have bought stuffed toys for Xuesha before, but Xuesha didn't like them as much as she does now. At most, she would just put them on the bed.

Later, when his relationship with Xuesha began to deteriorate, those stuffed toys were naturally put away by this girl.

The bed that was originally filled with stuffed toys also became empty.

Only now has the stuffed toy reappeared - this blue hedgehog.

After thinking about it, Yukie Morishima picked up the phone beside her, changed the phone from silent to do not disturb, then opened the camera and started recording a video for Yukie Morishima.

In a few days, or a week to be exact, she will have to leave Japan.

She has already taken most of this year's vacation, and the next time she comes back may be in October or the end of the year.

During the rest of the time, all she could do was make video calls to her daughter and look at the photos and videos taken during this period to remind her of her past.

In front of the piano, Yukisa Morishima became more and more free and easy.

Recently, she seems to have regained her original love for the piano. Every time she practices, she feels joy and enjoyment from the bottom of her heart.

The only thing that made her feel a little regretful was that this was no longer the same holiday as before.

The partner who would come here, practice with her, and call her 'teacher' would not appear for the time being.

Ugh.

Along with this sigh in her heart, Yukisa Morishima unconsciously changed the melody.

The melody that was so melodious just now suddenly added a hint of sadness.

"Wow!"

Listening to the changes in the melody, Yukie Morishima couldn't help but widen her eyes, full of amazement.

She only mastered the ability to change the mood of a piece of music so naturally when she was thirty years old.

That year was the beginning of her rise to prominence in the Japanese music scene.

At that time, many senior figures in the music industry called her the representative of the younger generation in the piano world.

At that time, she did not feel proud or complacent, because she knew that she was still on the road and had not yet reached the real peak.

Now that I think about it, it’s a good thing that I experienced the ups and downs of life and became more calm and didn’t become proud and complacent because of it. Otherwise, when I see my daughter now, my mood would probably be even more complicated.

People are most afraid of being compared with others.

However, if you really think about it along this line of thought, it might not be too complicated.

After all, the person who has mastered this skill at this age is not someone else, but his own daughter, a younger "self".

Shaking her head, Yukie Morishima pressed the 'Stop Recording' button on the camera, opened Line, and clicked on the chat with Che Kitagawa.

As a mother, how could she not understand the meaning of her daughter's sudden change of mood?

Even if her daughter didn't hint to her, as a mother, she still had to help her.

What's more, I had originally said that I would treat Beichuan Che to a meal, and I have been putting it off since the winter vacation until now, so it's about time.

After carefully considering the words, Morishima Yukie typed a line of words and sent it to Kitagawa Che on the other end of the network.

[Do you have time recently? Ah Che, auntie wants to treat you to a meal before leaving Japan. ]

Thanks to teachers Dayali XX, What_I am That Someone, Wei Gongzirun, and Bufuwoxin for their monthly tickets. Your support is the motivation for my writing.

Chapter 319 Slowly Moving Forward

This……

Looking at the line of words on the phone screen, Beichuan Che frowned helplessly, feeling a little amused and helpless for a moment.

They had just finished their discussion on the school's lunch broadcast. Before they could stop for a while, another thing happened.

Were these dinner parties really arranged in advance?

The main focus is to gather in groups.

First there was Tsugumi Serina's invitation for Saturday, and now there was Morishima Yukie's question about how long would be appropriate.

It seems that even before I stepped onto the stage, I have become a "busy man" to some extent.

After complaining a few words in his heart, Beichuan Che temporarily locked the screen and thought about the time to accept the appointment.

He already had an appointment on Saturday, so the only nearby date was the weekend.

If you think about it, this is not so bad.

I have a date with Sister Rina on Saturday and a date with Aunt Morishima on the weekend.

That way, both things can be accomplished this week.

As for the so-called evasion, he personally had never thought about it.

Because the person who made this invitation was Yukie Morishima.

On the one hand, Yukie Morishima is a very interesting senior who has quite unique insights into music. He doesn't hate dealing with her. On the contrary, he can learn something new every time they chat.

On the other hand, Yukie Morishima treated him well.

Not only that platform, but also in some print media or video interviews, he was promoted intentionally or unintentionally.

——Of course, for him who doesn’t pay much attention to social networks, he has to thank Miao for knowing the following news. Otherwise, he really wouldn’t know that Morishima Yukie had done so many things quietly.

"what happened?"

Sitting next to Kitagawa Che, Ejima Myo, who had just switched seats with Kitaen Rin, turned her eyebrows and looked at her young master with concern.

She was always paying attention to the subtle changes in his facial expressions.

"Nothing, don't worry."

Kitagawa Che smiled and gave Ejima Miu a look that said 'it's okay'.

Miao is good at everything, but sometimes she always worries too much, such as about his safety, or how nervous she is about some things, and after this girl exerts too much force, she will always lose her previous composure and do something that makes people sad. Things that are dumbfounding.

It is no exaggeration to say that he was really afraid that this girl Miao would have wild thoughts.

oh. "

After carefully looking at her young master several times and making sure that he did not say any words of comfort against his will, Ejima Miao finally felt relieved and turned her attention back to the TV in front of her.

To be fair, this latest TV series is not as good as those from last year.

Not only does the story have a bit of the meaning of "the ugly woman imitating the beautiful woman", but the setting of the male and female protagonists is also quite close.

If you really want to say it's close to the original, then there's nothing wrong with it, but the problem is, if your story is not outstanding, then the acting skills of the characters must be of higher standards. Unfortunately, the acting skills of the male and female protagonists of this evening TV series are much more immature compared to those pairs of partners last year.

So...

If nothing unexpected happens, the ratings of this TV series will be quite touching.

The reason why Miss Rinone is still obsessed with this TV series is because she likes the third female character in this TV series very much. After the plot of the third female character is finished, that is, today, Miss Rinone probably will look for other TV shows to watch.

“Speaking of which, this might be a little subtle.”

Compared to the always quiet Ejima Tadashi, Kashiwamoto Shiori's comments on TV dramas are much more radical.

"Where's the subtlety?"

Tsugumi Seina, who was holding a sofa pillow in her arms, turned her head and naturally continued the conversation.

She felt that the TV series was not very good, but since everyone was gathered together to watch TV, the TV was not the point at all.

"The third female lead's acting is better than the second female lead, the second female lead's acting is better than the first female lead, and the first female lead's acting is better than the male lead, that's it..."

Kashiwagen Shiori pursed her lips and didn't finish her words, but her meaning was quite clear.

In the absence of any highlights in the plot, the audience will focus more on the acting skills of the male and female protagonists and a series of supporting roles.

Well, it’s okay if you don’t observe, but once you observe, it will be clear who is swimming naked.

"In fact, I personally think that the leading actress's acting skills are on par with the leading actor's, and both have obvious academic styles."

Kitaen Rinyin turned around and joined the discussion with great interest.

According to the current plot development, her personal favorite female No. 3 is about to be eliminated.

What she found most outrageous was that the screenwriter seemed to be unable to think of any good excuses or reasons, and insisted on making the third female character have a terminal illness.

I can only say that it's a bit too forced.

“It’s very much a performance.”

Tsugumi Seirina shrugged and said this to show her approval.

"Yes, so let's change the channel." Kitaen Rin nodded, hesitated for a moment, and picked up the TV remote control. Then, she handed the remote control to Tsugumi Makoto beside her, "Then, this difficult task will be handed over to you, Sister Rina!"

"Instead of asking me for help, why not ask Shiori for help?"

Tsugumi Seina rolled her eyes, took the remote, and then handed it to Kashiwagen Shiori.

She is not good at choosing TV dramas.

Because every time she chooses her favorite character, she always goes against Shiori, Rin and Miao. As for the bad guy who accompanies the prince to study, he never participates in such discussions, let alone chooses his favorite character.

In his words, when he watches a TV series, he does not immerse himself in the drama, but watches it with a more professional eye, and will consider the plot, the facial expressions of the male and female protagonists, the words they say, and some of their body movements.
