In the anime, who is not a childhood sweetheart?

When Hesha thought of this, she slowly buried her head in the quilt. Her face turned red and her body became hot because of the uncontrollable guesses that popped up in her mind.

"Then you can ask him to try other songs. If he can adapt quickly and play well, then it proves that he is really talented."

"Um……"

"By the way, I have good news for you, Kazusa. Mom will be back soon."

Touma Yoko was notified before Christmas Eve to stay in the hotel and not go anywhere, and now more than ten days have passed.

Seeing that the quarantine will end in two or three days, she can’t wait to escape from this “prison” and return home as soon as possible!

"Oh."

Hesa was quite indifferent to this.

"Eh? What's that tone of voice? Aren't you happy that Mommy is coming home? I can bring you any gift you want."

"I don't have any gifts I want."

Fast forward to Christmas Eve, if Kazusa had heard the news at that time, she would probably have been very happy to celebrate the New Year together and would have been looking forward to her mother's return home.

But now...that's it.

It doesn’t matter whether you come back or not, because you already have someone else to talk to by your side.

"Besides, even if you come back, you won't be able to go home. We're all quarantined here."

"That's to prevent people who might be sick from running around and infecting others. As long as I go home and follow the government's quarantine arrangements, there shouldn't be any resistance."

"..."

After hearing this, Hesha was silent for a while, then she refused.

"No, Mom, since you're done with work, just relax and go on vacation somewhere for a while. There's no need to come back and be cooped up at home like me.

Not to mention that you, Mom, are even pickier about food than I am. The vegetables delivered to the community street every day are not high-end goods, but cheap vegetables, pork, etc., which are all things you don’t like to eat.”

"..."

When Touma Yoko heard her daughter's words, she also fell silent.

As for Hesha, I'm afraid her consideration for herself as a mother is fake, and what she really wants is to enjoy the rest of her cohabitation time with that young man in peace and stability.

How long has it been?

How could this very clingy and sweet little cotton jacket change into someone else's shape when put on someone else?

A little jealous...

Forget it, let’s not talk about this for now. Let’s wait and see the details when we return to China.

"Hesha, you said Xiao Qianye practiced the piano for over ten hours today. Doesn't that mean you didn't even touch the piano today?"

"Ah."

"So what have you been doing all this time?"

"Watch him practice the piano."

"...are you just going to sit there and watch?"

"Not really. I poured water for him twice during the process. During that time, his technique was not right. I mentioned it once, and then he corrected it."

"..."

What image of a considerate and obedient young wife?!

Touma Yoko put one hand on her forehead and said, "Wasa, even though it was your mother who asked you to teach Xiao Qianye the piano, you don't have to stay by his side all the time like this. You can do something else."

After saying this, Yaozi felt nervous.

I was afraid that my daughter would say something like, "I just like being with him like this."

Fortunately, this did not happen.

This time, Kazusa was very obedient and replied, "I understand."

After hanging up the phone, Hesha lay on the bed.

The last words her mother said just now reminded her.

The third day of isolation.

Street health and epidemic prevention personnel came to the house to check the body temperature of the two people, recorded the results and left quickly.

Yuan Qianye was still feeling embarrassed for monopolizing the piano for a while yesterday, so today he insisted on letting Kazusa practice first.

He wants to make progress, but it's not good to take away other people's study time.

In response, Hesha took out a violin from the instrument cabinet beside him.

"Don't worry, don't worry about me. You practice your piano and I practice my violin. Don't worry about us disturbing each other. I will play along with the melody you play."

The moment she placed the violin against her neck, her aura changed.

The posture is elegant, so elegant.

Like a kid showing off his awesome toy.

Hesha stared at Yuan Qianye, her long eyebrows casting a shadow under her eyelids, but even so, it could not hide the eager light in her eyes.

The piano is recognized as the "King of Musical Instruments" because of its wide range of tones and volume changes.

The violin is known as the "Queen of Instruments" because of its unique timbre and wide range of musical cooperation.

The collaborative performance of the two is a match made in heaven.

…………

087: What is she doing here (8000) (8/46)

"ensemble?!"

The multi-person video call interface opened in the chat group.

I heard Yuan Qianye talk about his daily activities during these days of unexpected isolation.

Eriri and Kasumigaoka both showed their facial expressions at the same time.

A person who is eating a cookie can be seen spraying out a lot of cookie crumbs.

Although Eriri covered it with her hands in time, her funny posture was still completely exposed to everyone else.

The other person didn't hold the coffee firmly in his hand and spilled it.

Seeing Shiyu quickly stand up with a "hiss" sound as if in pain, the coffee must have just been brewed and the temperature has not yet cooled down.

Only the two of them reacted the most, while the others were relatively calm.

Rikka was amazed: "Touma-san not only plays the piano but also the violin. He seems so cool!"

Yuan Qianye, riding a spinning bike, stared at the phone screen fixed in front of him as his breathing became increasingly rapid. He added,

"Not only piano and violin, she's also very good at playing the saxophone. Last night she even gave me an impromptu guitar fingerstyle piece. Remember, she's the same age as us. I don't know how she managed her study time over the years to be able to play so many instruments."

"The so-called talented and hardworking people probably refer to people like Touma-san. Being able to focus on something you love and achieve success is truly remarkable."

Saeko Busujima, who was making tea, was not stingy with her words of praise.

"So, what stage are you at in piano practice now, and what pieces do you know?"

The window scene under the snow is relatively simple.

She was rarely wearing blue light blocking glasses. She must have just finished an online class on the computer. From the environment visible behind her, it can be concluded that she was in her room.

"Touma said I've made rapid progress, but I can't quite put my finger on the specifics. But I've definitely learned a lot of new pieces these past few days. At first, I could only play simple variations on "The Stars," "Canon," and "Minuet." Now, I can play "Moonlight," "The Blue Danube," "Nude," and "Cancan."

"Cancan?" Even Yukinoshita couldn't keep her composure anymore. "Can you play the cancan completely?"

Liuhua, who had never played the piano before, didn't understand: "What's wrong with the cancan? Is it difficult?"

Yukino nodded. "This piece of music has a fast and complex rhythm. It's hard to master thoroughly without repeated practice. It's also famous worldwide and considered one of the most cheerful pieces of music. Rikka, you might not know its name, but you've definitely heard its melody in your daily life, such as watching TV dramas or anime."

Liuhua became even more curious after hearing her say that: "Really? I'll go check it out."

The next moment, Rikka's video screen turned black, but it still showed that the call was connected. I guess she went to the background to search for the detailed video of this song.

Gen Qianye now answered Yukino's question: "I can play the simplified version by myself, but if I want to play the full joy and richness of this song, I really need Touma's help."

Yukino immediately understood: "You two... four-hand piano?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Eriri and Kasumigaoka, who had just wiped their mouths and skirts and were about to rejoin the conversation, suddenly fell into extreme chaos!

Even if you don't know much about piano, you will know the meaning of four-hand piano duet.

Although they had very different personalities, they now had a perfect understanding of each other and thought of Yuan Qianye and the strange girl sitting on the same piano bench.

The two smiled at each other, their shoulders close together, maybe even their thighs touching. While their hands were playing the black and white keys, they also took the time to playfully touch each other's hands...

Gua! Don’t do that kind of thing!

"Huh... well... with her help, I can play more songs now, such as... Radetzky March and Dance of Flowers." Yuan Qianye nodded.

The resistance set at the beginning of the power bike began to increase in intensity, and the soreness and swelling in his thighs became increasingly obvious. He was now starting to feel a little breathless.

unreal.

Yukinoshita Yukino now feels extremely unreal. Her childhood friend has once again overturned her common sense.

She grew up with him since she was a child, from the last year of kindergarten until now.

She wouldn't say she knew everything about him, but she knew most of his situation.

He comes from a single-parent family and was raised by his father alone.

Although his family was not poor, it was definitely not wealthy, and he did not have the extra financial resources to learn piano.

Even if he listened carefully in music class and understood some music theory, it would be difficult to get any rewards from playing the piano without perseverance and devoting time and effort to it.

According to Liuhua, he officially showed interest in piano when the winter vacation started last year.

I started helping out at the family shop regularly and also used my free time to practice piano.

But how long has it been?

Less than a month?

According to what Qianye explained, the results he had achieved in this short period of time easily reached or even exceeded the level she had achieved when she had studied piano on and off for nearly two years as a child.

Compared to the swordsmanship that Yukino had never understood, she was obviously much more shocked when she noticed Yuan Qianye's abnormal progress in the field of piano that she was more familiar with.

"Four-hand piano duet, it always seems very interesting."

Busujima Saeko had been listening quietly from the beginning, but now that she saw Yukino was lost in thought, she chose to speak without hesitation.

"But Qianye-kun, you can keep up with the champion of the Tokyo Metropolitan Piano Competition Youth Division and play with her. I always feel that you are also very good."

Saeko didn't hear about the honors that Touma Kazusa had received from anyone.

Instead, she searched for it online after meeting Hesha on New Year's Eve.

"Huh... I'm still a long way from here. When we played some difficult pieces together, she was the one who took extra care of me and took care of the difficult parts."

Minamoto Chiya's words gave Busujima Saeko more insights into Touma Kazusa, whom she had met only once.

She won't talk about others behind their backs, but it's okay to think about it in her heart.

She was so attentive to Qianye. It seemed that this piano genius was rather unfamiliar with the New Year's Eve. It turned out to be because there were other strangers at the scene whom she was not familiar with.

That's what they call a cold-outside-hot-inside personality...

"Qianye, how long will it take for your quarantine to end?"

Kasumigaoka felt unbearable just knowing that Gen Qianye had been alone with another girl of the same age during this period of time, not to mention now knowing that they had such intimate interactions.

This feeling of inner suffocation and helplessness was quite frustrating, as if it brought her back to the time when it was reported that her work was about to be cut short.

"In this quarantined area, several people infected with the flu have been sent to the hospital. But everything is fine here, so it should be over in about a week."
