Azure Files, the starting point of all miracles

"How should I put it... I just remembered the song that the teacher hummed before."

"Good to hear……"

As Saori said this, a rare blush of shyness appeared on her fair cheeks.

Chapter 153: Do you want to listen to sensei’s performance?

"Hey~ Is the teacher singing?"

As soon as Saori finished speaking, Mika showed an expectant expression: "Come to think of it, there was also a clip of the teacher singing in the video that was posted before."

"Oh! You mean that, right?"

Hiyori's eyes lit up. "What a beautiful singing voice! Much better than mine."

But then, she became depressed again: "As expected, people like me can't do anything... Life is so dark..."

Looking at Rihe like this, Xiyu couldn't help but stand on tiptoe, put his hand on her head and touched it gently.

"That's not the case. Hiyori also has her own strengths."

"Besides, you haven't tried it, so how do you know that you are not doing well?"

"If you want to sing, I can teach you~"

"Eh--!"

Listening to the teacher's gentle words, the gloom on Hiyori's face began to fade away, replaced by a hint of shyness and joy: "Teacher... No, I didn't say I wanted to sing."

"I just... just... hehe~"

Looking at Hiyori who began to smile foolishly, Misaki sighed helplessly and began to rub her chubby cheeks.

"Teacher, don't worry about this girl, she is just having a normal illness."

"Mm~ Misaki, don't do this—"

"Ha ha……"

Watching the interaction between the two, Xiyu couldn't help but chuckle good-naturedly.

Just as he was about to say something, a robot came over.

Judging from its attire, it seems to be a waiter in this shopping mall.

"Everyone, are you also interested in this challenge?"

"challenge?"

After hearing its words, everyone couldn't help but look over here.

"Yes."

The robot nodded and said, "This is a new activity recently launched by the Master Piano Shop. If you can play a piece of music that can attract 300 people to stop and listen, you will get a new piano for free."

Master...

Several black lines appeared on Xiyu's forehead.

Regardless of whether this déjà vu name is related to "that friend", the content of this challenge alone is worth discussing.

Although this area is large enough and the flow of people is dense enough, it does not mean that it is easy to attract three hundred listeners.

"How about it? Are you interested?"

Facing the robot waiter's question, Xiyu blinked: "Are there any prerequisites for the challenge?"

"For example, what products do you want to buy?"

"Guest, rest assured, there are no prerequisites for the challenge. Anyone can take it up, and there is no penalty for failure."

"As long as there is no malicious intent to damage the piano, there will be no problem."

The waiter explained considerately.

*This is also a marketing method~

After confirming with the waiter that there were no loopholes in the rules, Xiyu looked at the students around him.

"Everyone, what do you say?"

"!?"

When the girls heard the teacher ask this, they were stunned at first, and then they all showed expectant expressions at the same time.

"Teacher, are you going to——"

"It doesn't mean you have to go up~"

Xiyu shrugged: "But if my students want to listen--"

"I think so! I really want to!"

Before Xiyu could finish speaking, the girls responded first.

Yazuko said with a smile: "How can we not look forward to the teacher's performance?"

"It would be better to bring it up quickly!" This is Hiyori, who had read a strange book not long ago.

After rolling his eyes helplessly at the lovely Rihe, Xiyu stretched his hands and took a step towards the piano.

"It just so happens that I am wearing this dress now."

I had not changed out of this outfit before in order to meet the expectations of Atsuko and Mika, but it came in handy now.

but--

Xiyu thought of something and couldn't help but look at the waiter beside him: "This gentleman——"

"Little boy, what's wrong?"

kid……

Xiyu raised her eyebrows slightly, but didn't care too much.

"Sir, can I invite my partner to sing for me while I play the piano?"

"Singing?"

"That's right. After all, playing the piano alone is too monotonous."

Xiyu said with a smile, showing a maturity and ease that was completely different from her appearance: "Instead, even if the challenge is successful, I don't want this piano. What do you think?"

"Hmm~ Is that so? Please allow me to ask the boss."

"Okay~"

While the waiter was communicating with the piano store owner, students nearby also gathered around.

"Teacher, what exactly do you mean by singing?" Weihua looked confused.

"It means exactly what it says~" Xiyu spread his hands and said with a smile.

"I'll play the melody and you'll sing the lyrics."

"Eh!? Us?!" Hiyori had a surprised look on her face.

"We haven't learned anything about this." Misaki frowned slightly.

Of course, she didn't mean to blame the teacher, but she was worried that she could not meet the teacher's expectations.

"Is it really okay?"

Hinata also looked worried.

Xiyu did not discourage the nervous girls in front of him, but gave them affirmative looks.

"Believe me, you can do it."

"Besides, I will be by your side~"

"?"

Listening to Xiyu's meaningful words, although they didn't know what it meant, out of trust in the teacher, the girls finally chose to believe the teacher.

At this moment, the waiter also ended the call and brought back a positive reply.

"Little boy... Sir, our boss said it's okay."

The waiter originally planned to call him a kid, but considering his maturity which was completely different from his appearance, he decided to change his words.

In response, Xiyu just nodded at him.

"Thank you~"

"It's my pleasure."

"So, my students, are you ready?"

Xiyu said this and turned to look at the girls beside him; under his gaze, even though they were still nervous, they still followed the teacher's footsteps.

There is no other reason.

Since the teachers believe in them, they will do their best to respond to the teachers' expectations.

This is the bond between them!

"Well, it's time to get started!"

After Xiyu took his seat, he felt the breath coming from beside and behind him, and a soft white light lit up in his pupils.

At this moment, the slender fingers were placed on the keys in front of them——

Chapter 154: Tender memories of sensei and his students

Although the cause was the graduation song given to a certain white-haired ballad, Xiyu did not intend to play that song at this time.

Because, that is her song.

A story about her and him.

And now, he is the teacher of these children.

The story of the past has come to an end, and a new story has begun.

No matter how many identities he had in the past, it doesn’t matter.

He just needs to know one thing.

Now I am their teacher and they are my students.

This is his and their story.

When Xiyu confirmed this, every moment she spent with these children kept coming to her mind.

At first it was just a drop of water, then gradually it gathered into streams, rivers... and finally it was out of control.

These tender memories are the most precious things to him.

Just as Xiyu was brewing her emotions, the students, feeling all this in their hearts, opened their eyes wide.

Although Xiyu has always been gentle and reliable, in the final analysis, they have always been the ones who have received the favor.

Perhaps they are as beautiful as angels and the purest treasures in the world.

But I still feel worried.

Are we really worthy of our teachers’ efforts?

How do teachers view us in their hearts?

Such questions have always been in the minds of young girls.

And today, they finally got the answer in a real sense.

A unique force connects their hearts together.

Now, they no longer look at things from their own perspective, but from the teacher's perspective, looking at their past selves in the third person and feeling everything about the teacher.

Then they understood the teacher's emotions, and feelings of happiness surged out like a tide, either gratitude or joy.

All these emotions intertwined together, dispelling their trepidation about stepping onto the stage.

Now they are full of determination!

As Xiyu pressed the piano keys, soft piano music rang out.
