In the anime, who is not a childhood sweetheart?

"what?"

She suddenly said this, and Yuan Qianye was a little unable to react.

Yaozi swirled his red wine glass quietly. "It's just like the situation just now. It's a very important part of interpersonal communication. If you want to actively get closer to someone, you first need to know their personal information roughly, so that you can better cater to their needs."

After she said this, Yuan Qianye roughly understood what she meant.

Although he really wanted to say that he had used this trick on a girl with twin pigtails in elementary school, he nodded on the surface and showed a surprised expression of "I see" to Yoko, indicating that he had indeed learned it.

"Humph!"

At this moment, Hesha snorted lightly, turned around and walked aside.

Seeing this, Yuan Qianye asked, "Where are you going?"

Without even turning her head, Kazusa replied, "Bathroom!"

"What happened suddenly? This is..."

Yuan Qianye could see that she was angry, but her anger was too groundless.

"Don't get me wrong, it has nothing to do with you. She's just mad at me," Yoko explained with a shrug. "Even though I don't usually show it obviously, I'm the one that kid is trying to catch up to. So, I just tried to befriend a girl whose piano skills aren't as good as hers, and I took the initiative to lower my profile. That must have been quite difficult for her to accept."

Yuan Qianye silently curled his lips. "That's indeed Hesha's personality, but it doesn't matter. She can't understand the hardships of life right now. When she grows up a little and matures a little, she will definitely understand that everything you do is for your career, and indirectly for her own good."

Yaozi stared at Yuan Qianye motionlessly until he felt a little uncomfortable. Then he sighed and said, "It's a good thing for you, kid, to be considerate, but sometimes you don't have to be so considerate."

Just forget about it with Kazusa and me, but don’t always do this to other people. It can easily lead to misunderstandings.

Well, the latter sentence was just something I thought about in my mind.

After all, if you say it directly, your intention will be too obvious.

After waiting for Kazusa to come back from the bathroom, her anger subsided a little. Yoko then took them to meet several well-known figures in the piano circle and appeared in front of a group of reporters.

At 8:40 in the evening, the three of them left the banquet together.

----

"boom!"

The moment Yuan Qianye returned home.

His parents and sisters fired the salute together.

Colorful paper flowers and glittering fragments flew into the air and then slowly fell on him.

"Congratulations on winning the runner-up!" X4!

Looking at the four bright smiling faces that came forward in unison, Yuan Qianye also smiled sincerely.

The reason why I work hard is half for myself, but half for them.

"Thank you, I'm back."

The two games that were played very close to each other finally came to an end.

Finally I can have a good rest for some time.

In addition, I also have to make good use of the time to catch up on the homework I did during the spring vacation.

School will start in a few days.

Meanwhile on the other side of the city.

Shinomiya Villa.

As the night grew darker, Kaguya Shinomiya, who had been busy all day, went home and went to bed early to rest.

After instructing other staff members in the house on the arrangements they needed to make tomorrow, Hayasaka Ai returned to her room.

It was already half past eleven in the evening.

But it’s still not time to rest.

She patted her face and adjusted her mood.

He started a video call with the people from the main family and reported everything Kaguya Shinomiya did today.

As it approached twelve o'clock, everything was finally over.

She took a quick shower and got into bed with her extremely tired body.

Leaning against the headboard, he took out his cell phone.

She likes to watch some relaxing videos before going to bed to relieve mental fatigue.

She used to love videos of grinders crushing all kinds of things, but now she has other preferences.

Her delicate but tired face flickered with light and darkness.

The video content played on the mobile phone is a collection of live combat performances by the recently emerging kendo genius.

Watching him knock out his opponents one by one cleanly and efficiently is also quite stress-relieving.

Hayasaka Ai watched the video and thought about her brief close meeting with him today. Her expression softened unconsciously, sleepiness came over her, and she slowly fell asleep.

The next morning at around five o'clock, Hayasaka Ai got up as usual.

Around nine o'clock, Hayasaka, who was accompanying the eldest lady in a flower arrangement class, received a message from the main family.

The eldest daughter's father was not satisfied with Kaguya's performance in the previous piano competition and ordered her to change the piano teacher for the eldest daughter.

At the same time, in the future, I must supervise the eldest lady to practice piano harder and not slack off in the slightest.

When Hayasaka Ai saw this news, she couldn't help but curse in contempt in her heart.

Go to hell, you stinky old man!

Try learning different course knowledge every day of the week!

But that's all.

Hayasaka Ai's parents are both executives of the Shinomiya Group, and she is a maid, so there is no way for her to change the status quo.

An hour later, the flower arranging course ended.

Hayasaka Ai served tea and followed Shinomiya Kaguya to report the situation: "Miss, your current piano teacher will not be able to continue teaching you piano."

"Eh? What happened?"

"It seems that she really couldn't spare the time due to family reasons, so she had no choice but to resign."

Hayasaka Ai can only do this much.

In order to prevent Kaguya from feeling lost and sad because of what her bastard father said, she had to make up this lie.

"Really? That can't be helped then."

"I will find a suitable piano teacher as soon as possible. You can make the decision then, Miss."

"Thank you for your help, Hayasaka."

"You don't have to be so polite, Miss."

"We've said this so many times, let's not be so polite in private." Kaguya also took the initiative to pour a cup of tea and handed it to Hayasaka: "But speaking of piano teachers... do you remember Ms. Touma Yoko we met yesterday?"

Silently pondering the word "friend" and feeling guilty, Hayasaka held the exquisite tea set in both hands and was silent for a moment: "Do you want that lady to be your teacher?"

Kaguya nodded, then sighed softly, "Forget it. After all, she's a professional pianist who's won several awards in international competitions. She already has a daughter to teach, so she probably doesn't have the time or energy to teach others piano."

Hayasaka Ai shook her head: "If you have this idea, then you must try it. Leave this matter to me. The master's needs are the maid's mission. I will find time to visit you."

"Eh? Do you want to pay her a special visit? I have her business card, can't I just call her and ask?"

"That's inappropriate. After all, we're looking for a teacher, not a servant. It's important to show her our sincerity."

Besides, the other party’s identity is there. Even the Shinomiya family probably can’t order a world-class pianist around so easily.

Of course the most important thing is...

It's not just for the sake of the young lady.

Hayasaka Ai also had other thoughts in her heart that she had some small expectations for.

…………

101: If only life could be like the first time we met (10000) (25/46)

Yuan Qianye originally thought that after the two competitions, he would finally be able to rest for a few days.

But I never expected that this was just the beginning.

He had greatly underestimated how popular he was in the news media industry, as he had shown great talent in different fields.

How does the saying go? Let the bullets fly for a while.

On the second day of the National Youth Piano Finals, reports from major media outlets came out.

Kazusa's name and photo made headlines in major music media, and Gen Qianye was also on the list, and her popularity was even higher than her as the champion.

The reason is simple. Compared to Touma Kazusa, a piano genius who showed her talent very early, the dark horse contestant Gen Qianye who came out of nowhere is obviously more talked about.

Besides piano, he also has many other things worth reporting on.

For example, he has just become famous for his kendo, and in terms of study, he has been at the top of the grade since elementary school.

Even during his primary school years, he did several good deeds outside of school.

For example, he pulled back an uncle who was about to jump off the railway tracks to commit suicide, rescued a person who fell into the water with a lifebuoy on the shore, and took a lost child by the hand to the police station... and so on.

On the one hand, he was kind-hearted, and on the other hand, he was also trying to complete his mission. The glorious past of being found by the person involved or his family and presented with a commendation flag at school was also dug up by several media outlets with a keen sense of smell and reported on major platforms.

The next morning after Yuan Qianye returned home, he was woken up by a call from the school.

The principal who was always serious and stern in school, spoke on the phone in a gentle tone, as if he was flirting with his lover.

The contrast made Yuan Qianye shudder, and the remaining sleepiness disappeared immediately.

After chatting for a while, he knew the purpose of the dean's call.

The school learned through the media that his piano competition had ended and that he had achieved very good results.

So we decided to strike while the iron is hot while the popularity is at its highest, and to hold the commendation meeting originally planned to be held after school starts today.

It just so happened that the school leaders were free today, and he could also contact many journalist friends to come together. He and Busujima Saeko showed up together, which helped them both become famous.

Of course, the dean’s words were not so direct, but he expressed the meaning in a tactful way. He is an old hand.

Yuan Qianye's reaction to this was naturally to agree.

It was something that had to be done sooner or later, so it might as well be finished as soon as possible. The main reason was that he wanted to get the bonus from the school as soon as possible.

Five hundred thousand is really a lot.

Also, it's been a while since we last met, and I miss Saeko a little.

After hanging up the phone, Yuan Qianye twisted his neck, got out of bed and started to get dressed.

Halfway through getting dressed, he suddenly stopped.

He realized that his previous thought was completely subconscious.

After a moment of silence, he put on his clothes again, washed up, and ate the breakfast prepared by Shihua at home.

At around nine o'clock in the morning, I went to school with Saeko as scheduled.

I haven't seen this kendo girl for a while, but she still has the same charm.

She has a small face and is youthful. Her soft eyebrows and eyes match her cherry lips, making her look flawless. A closer look reveals a hint of restrained charm, and she can show her best side without any makeup.

Because it was still vacation and not school period, Saeko just wore a simple shirt and jeans.

But because of her tall figure and well-developed body, the front of her dress obviously couldn't bear the heaviness and looked bulging. The extremely narrow lower back of her waist suddenly outlined a plump curve like a peach, as if the juice could be squeezed out with a light touch.

It has come to this now. What will happen when he reaches high school or even college?

"Qianye, congratulations on the piano competition."

The two met at the school gate. The moment Saeko saw Gen Chiye, her leisurely stroll turned into a brisk walk, and she sped up to come in front of him.

"It was just a fluke."

Yuan Qianye's eyes were uncontrollably drawn to the QQ bubble that had come all the way to her.

It seemed that he could no longer simply regard her as a friend or the leader of the Kendo Club as he did before.
