Lian was lying by the window looking at the sports field when he felt someone kick him in the butt. The kick was not strong, but very insulting.

As if being burned by fire, Lian twisted his waist and dodged half a beat slowly, then turned around and saw that it was Touma Kazusa, who was looking at him with her hands on her hips.

"What? Will I die if I say hello nicely?" Lian rolled her eyes and leaned against the window.

"You've been lying there for almost a sonata." Hesa ​​said unhappily, "Is it so beautiful outside?"

"It's beautiful. The girls from the track and field club are practicing long-distance running on the sports field." Lian said seriously, "The way those girls run is really pleasing to the eye."

“……”Hesha showed a disgusted expression, obviously regretting asking this question.

Lian's answer was extremely vulgar to her.

"So what's the matter? You did a great job in the second and fourth movements in your practice just now, but you liked to add some unnecessary decorative notes between the bars." Lian spread his hands, "You didn't think I didn't hear anything, did you?"

"Tsk..." Hesha was secretly shocked.

She did notice that Lian was absent-minded, so she deliberately added some useless things, preparing to counterattack him when he was commenting.

But it was of no use.

This guy could actually do two things at the same time as looking at the girl and listening carefully to the details of the performance.

"I lost." Hesa ​​said bluntly and threw the bottle in her hand away.

Lian took it and saw that it was actually a bottle of oolong tea. "You are so honest today. You actually gave in so easily."

"What's the use of not admitting defeat?" Hesa ​​was too lazy to argue.

He unscrewed the bottle cap and took a sip, "…so bitter!"

"Oolong tea is bitter, right?" Hesha asked when she saw Lian's bitter expression.

"Aren't you a sweet tooth? Why don't you buy the ones with sugar?"

"……Aha?"

Hesha remembers that the oolong tea in the vending machines is always unsweetened.

"When I performed in China, all the oolong tea I drank was sweet." Lian looked at the bottle label helplessly.

The "sugar-free" label is so small that you can easily miss it.

"You brought this upon yourself, and I didn't know about it."

Hesha suddenly felt a little proud. She had actually played a prank on the other person in a way she didn't expect. Her mood suddenly improved.

She recalled that iced oolong tea was first produced in Japan, but later on, most of it was imported from China.

"By the way, are all foreign oolong teas sweet?"

"Almost. Bottled oolong tea in many countries is sweetened." Lian sighed, "I've had sweetened ones in the United States before."

It’s not that he doesn’t like bitterness, it’s just the scoring situation.

Freshly brewed hot tea is fine, but this kind of tea that I thought was sweet actually tastes bitter when I drink it.

"Here, this is what you bought, and you can handle the rest." Lian put the bottle on the windowsill.

Hesha glanced at the wet bottle mouth and turned away, "I don't like bitter things, you know?"

"...Oh...you sweet tooth..."

If you say you only like sweet things, then Hesha basically wants everything to be sweet.

When drinking a cup of black tea, you can add sugar until the tea is about to overflow.

Looking at Lian with a frustrated face, Hesa ​​was sure that this guy didn't regard her as a girl at all, so she didn't worry about whether there was anything wrong with his previous actions.

Speaking of that Kasumigaoka Utaha, he...

Kazusa suddenly realized that she was thinking about something strange and quickly dispelled the thought.

"I say, if you don't want to drink, I can share half with you." Hesha said with courage.

She usually never buys oolong tea, but when she went downstairs to buy something for herself just now, she kindly brought a bottle for the guy who was watching over her practice.

It was not to his liking, but it pleased him nonetheless. He Sha could hardly hold back her laughter.

"You drink even though you don't like it...are you a masochist?" Lian didn't have a sadistic tendency, so she continued to drink from it, "Are you still practicing?"

It's just past five o'clock, so there's plenty of time.

"I don't care--" Hesa ​​sat on the stool and stretched.

Kazusa was a little tired after playing Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier from beginning to end without making any mistakes.

"Then let's not practice." Lian snapped his fingers.

"Not practicing anymore?" Kazusa was stunned. "The competition is at the end of this month, right?"

There is still about half a month left until the end of the month, and Hesa ​​is still a little unconfident about her condition.

——Regarding whether one can keep up with the rhythm of the four ripples.

After listening to his most serious performance, Kazusa actually became more uneasy.

"People are not machines. If you get tired of practicing, just take a break and continue practicing." Lian spread his hands, "Let's go."

"Walk?"

Hesha was stunned again.

"You performed well today. As a mentor, I plan to give this useless disciple a little reward." Lian crossed his arms. "I know a shop that has a new cake that sells very well. Maybe you can still get some if you go there now."

"……unnecessary."

"No? If I see you when I'm eating there later, I'll buy all the leftovers and take them away." Lian pinched her chin, "That's a good idea, isn't it?"

"You are a devil!" Kazusa really wanted to beat someone up.

"Just kidding. If you don't want to go, forget it." Lian didn't really care.

It’s just that Mr. Hanekawa reminded me to pay more attention to Touma and Sa, and not to be too strict when giving guidance.

Lian had never taught anyone else this before, so she came up with the idea of ​​using the other person's favorite snacks as rewards.

If you think about it carefully, it's just like coaxing a five or six-year-old child. It's so weird.

"Forget it, I'll go with you. Who knows if you will do that?" Hesa ​​questioned Lian.

"How bad am I in your eyes?"

He Sha was speechless for a long while before she spoke, "...You are the second worst person I have ever seen."

"Second? Then I really want to see who is first?"

"Maybe you'll see him when you go abroad one day." Hesha answered unhappily and left the music classroom first.

Lian glanced at the piano and said, "At least cover the piano... You are a pianist, right..."

But Hesha didn't listen, so he had to clean up the mess and follow her out, locking the door behind her.

Unfortunately, just as Lian said, the new cake was very popular. When Lian and Hesha went there, only the last two were left.

"Excuse me, please give me these two cakes--"

Someone said in unison with Lian, pointing at the same cake.

They were both surprised, then looked at each other, and then stared at each other with wide eyes.

"Hey...I was the one who spoke first, Shizhu."

"You just came into the store. I've been waiting here for a while."

Dianthus, on the other hand, refuses to yield.

Chapter 104 Chapter 2 Today’s Wind is a Bit Noisy ()

In front of the cake shop counter, two boys started fighting over the last two cakes. It was a very embarrassing scene.

Shizhu believes that Lian should respect the elderly and love the young and give the cake to herself, who is older but younger.

Lian thought that she was the one who spoke first and had no intention of giving in.

However, this trivial dispute lasted less than a minute, because both of them brought people with them, and they quickly reached a settlement.

"Shizhu, you really don't want to eat it?" Ying Lili felt a little embarrassed. After all, they had agreed to eat it together, but in the end she ended up enjoying it alone.

In comparison, Touma and Sa started eating without any hesitation, which seemed to be a sign of their duty.

"It's okay, it's okay, just eat it." Shi Zhu said with a smile, "Anyway, no one got to eat it, I feel very balanced now."

"Balance, you're such a jerk. Why do you come here for a date for no reason?" Lian lay on the grass, looking at the rippling waves of the artificial river in the distance.

Shizhu put his hands on the grass, "What about you?"

"Just reward those who practiced hard." Lian held a blade of grass in his mouth, "I thought I caught up, but I didn't."

"Really?" Shizhu looked at Yanlian sympathetically, then looked at Hesha who was quietly enjoying the cake.

This store was close to an artificial river, and there wasn't much space inside for Lian and Kazusa, so Shizhu and Eriri brought the cake out and ate it while sitting on chairs on the artificial embankment.

There was an empty chair, but Lian was lying on the lawn on the river bank, so Shizhu simply sat down with him and chatted.

In the end, it evolved into four people sitting on the river bank and enjoying the breeze.

"I say, have you been to Takasago before?" Shizhu suddenly asked.

"Hmm? Oh, I did go there with Kasumigaoka." Lian said casually.

Eriri choked on her cake. "Wow, has it come to the point where I was tricked into going on a trip by that woman?"

“No—” Lian couldn’t help laughing, “But it’s also true that the guy followed me here without permission.”

"Hey, you actually tolerate this kind of thing." Shizhu was a little surprised.

Lian closed her eyes, "I have all kinds of inside stories here, too."

"Did you go to Kyoto afterwards?" Shizhu asked again, "I remember you didn't come back the next day."

"No." Lian continued, "I wanted to go, but I had to change my schedule at the last minute. I was quite disappointed with Kasumigaoka... That guy is a third-year student, right? Doesn't he need to consider graduation?"

"If you put it that way—"

"——You are also a third-year student, right?"

Shizhu and Eriri looked at Lian with the same helpless expression.

"You've seen that graduate who has debuted for so many years." Lian didn't care. "I study just to have no regrets. Looking back in the future, it will be a pity if I haven't done anything at this age."

"No, no, no, you've done enough." Shizhu reluctantly understood Lian's feelings.

"Anyway, I won't be going to Kyoto for a while, don't worry." Lian added.

Only Kazusa was no longer in a state of confusion. She subconsciously asked, "Why can't we go to Kyoto?"

"Because the raw Hachimanshi there isn't delicious lately." Lian started talking nonsense without even thinking.

"Ah?" Hesha was stunned.

She thought the raw Yatsuhashi tasted pretty good... Could it be that it had actually deteriorated?

"Hey——" Shizhu wanted to complain.

He hates the Shinomiya family, but he still has some feelings for the city of Kyoto. Lian starts to slander Kyoto in order to scare people, and Shizhu can't stand it.

But before he could say anything, he heard several children screaming in the distance.

"What?" Ying Lili hurriedly looked over there, but unfortunately she was slightly nearsighted and couldn't see clearly what was happening.

"Someone fell into the water?" Hesa ​​added.

Then, without waiting for Lian to say anything, Shizhu beside him stood up like the wind, ran down in three or two steps, climbed over the guardrail without hesitation, jumped into the river, and swam towards the child who fell into the water.

The other three people, who were a step slower, also chased after him and came to the guardrail.

The riverbank is a two-section structure with a fenced platform between the slopes, but it cannot stop naughty children.

"Dianthus!" Ying Lili was very worried.

This artificial river is four or five meters deep, and one can drown if one is not careful. However, Shizhu jumped in without even a second thought and without even warming up.

"Really..." Lian shook her head.
