In the anime, who is not a childhood sweetheart?

"I drank the porridge you cooked the next day, and I no longer have any problems."

"That's good. Don't eat ice cream like that anymore."

"Ah."

"..."

What kind of topic terminator mode are you in?

You weren't like this the last time we went out together. Could it be that Touma-san has a multi-system personality that reveals different personalities in different situations?

But isn’t that a necessary talent for office workers?

"Then let's get started without further ado." Kazusa also sensed the embarrassment and stood up, trying to step directly into the battlefield she was familiar with.

This directness surprised Yuan Qianye: "Hey, are we starting right now?"

"Is there anything else you'd like to do?"

That's not true...

But Yuan Qianye did intend to exchange a few pleasantries, chat and gossip about family matters to smooth over the relationship between the two of them and facilitate future activities.

But it is indeed a pleasure to see Hesha being so straightforward.

I like to be with straightforward people like you.

Yuan Qianye shook his head honestly: "Nothing."

"Then come directly."

So, in the third minute after arriving at Touma's house and even before he could sit down on the sofa, Gen Qianye arrived at the core location of Touma's house.

Piano practice room.

Perhaps because a young girl spends at least eight hours here every day, the practice room is filled with scents other than precious wood. As soon as Qianye enters the room, he can smell a very obvious sweet aroma.

Touma Kazusa suddenly and hurriedly covered the box of dessert she had not finished eating.

Turning around and seeing Yuan Qianye's eyes sizing her up, her pretty face flushed slightly, and she subconsciously explained herself: "I was hungry while practicing the piano, and I couldn't concentrate. Eating some sweets to replenish the sugar content would be very helpful."

Well, you are the piano master and you have the final say.

Gen Chiya's expression of deep approval pleased Touma Kazusa greatly. She was not a girl who liked to laugh, but at this moment, the little joy in her heart almost made her unable to hold back and curl up the corners of her lips.

"Okay, let's officially get started. Mom said you want to improve your piano skills, but you're still lacking in many areas. She asked me to teach you well. But I might not be as good as you in some areas, so don't hold your expectations too high."

Yuan Qianye shook his head and sat down in front of the piano that was worth half his house. "Whatever you say, I still believe in Mr. Touma's piano skills."

Kazusa was surprised: "Teacher Touma?"

"You teach me piano, so of course you are my teacher."

Looking at Yuan Qianye's expression that suggested "Is there something wrong?", Hesha once again suppressed the small leap of joy that shot through her heart. She took a deep breath without showing any emotion and calmed her emotions: "Whatever you say."

"Okay, Mr. Touma, how should we start now? I'll follow your instructions."

Then go make me some porridge first, the same kind as last time...

"Do you know piano sheet music?"

“I still know this kind of basic stuff.”

"Then play this piece first." Fuuma Kazusa brought over a wrinkled introductory piano book, opened a page, and placed it on the music stand. As expected of someone who was taught by Yoko, her words were very similar to her mother's: "I have to see your performance first to know where you are lacking."

The piece shown in the book is Bach's Minuet in G major. It is not very long and not very difficult.

Yuan Qianye had just placed his hands on the black and white piano keys when Hesha, who was standing nearby with her arms folded across her chest, reminded him, "You haven't adjusted the height of your chair yet."

"I think this is about right."

"You can't do it almost. Piano practice can take hours, so it's necessary to adjust to the most comfortable posture."

Kazusa unexpectedly got into the role of "teacher" quickly, and when she said these words, she felt a subtle and strange sense of satisfaction.

And since she was so serious, Yuan Qianye naturally wanted it very much.

Although Hesha had previously said that she was not as good as her mother, in Yuan Qianye's opinion, she was still a very good piano teacher.

Kazusa also mentioned the shortcomings that Touma Yoko had pointed out before, and because she was on the scene, she was able to correct his mistakes more directly and personally demonstrate the correct fingering for playing the piano.

"...You just raised your hand too low, making it difficult to exert force, and the sound you play will be very low. You should raise the back of your hand like this so that your fingers can exert force downwards better. Although it may be difficult at first, once you get used to it, it will be very beneficial for your future progress."

While Kazusa was explaining, she also gave an impromptu short practical demonstration.

When she turned her head, she found that Yuan Qianye had bent down to her side without her noticing, staring intently at her hands resting on the piano keys.

"When you play, your hands are as graceful as a butterfly spreading its wings. It's really beautiful." Yuan Qianye's words were full of praise from the heart without any compliment.

"...!"

"Teacher Touma?"

"Say...what nonsense are you talking about!" Hesa said in a hurried voice. She quickly stood up from the other side of the piano chair, widened the distance between them, and put her hands behind her back so that he couldn't see them.

She never thought that her small and delicate hands, which were different from those of ordinary girls, were pretty!

"I'm telling the truth. Hasn't anyone said that before?"

"Practice... practice your piano, following the fingering I just told you!"

Really, just accept the compliment calmly, what's with saying you're second to Eriri...

Yuan Qianye sat back on the piano chair and, following Teacher Hesha's instructions, began to change his incorrect playing technique.

As he turned towards the piano, Kazusa, who was standing beside him, tried hard to hide her joy, which turned into a blush that spread all over her pretty cheeks.

Two hours passed by unknowingly and it was almost eight o'clock.

When Yuan Qianye said goodbye and went home, Hesha suddenly realized that so much time had passed.

But he clearly rang the doorbell and came to the practice room, it seemed like it happened just a moment ago.

Did God fast-forward time?

We met again after several days apart.

The only friend I can talk to, I want to spend more time with him...

"...Mom said you don't have a piano at home, so if you need to practice, you can just come over and practice. After all, Mom has already promised you."

At the entrance, Hesha looked towards Yuan Qianye and gave him instructions, and gently tapped his left foot, which was placed next to his right foot, with the toes pointing to the ground.

Yuan Qianye hummed, then seeing Hesha standing at the entrance with no intention of moving, asked doubtfully, "Are you going out like this?"

"Going out?"

"Aunt Yaozi didn't tell you that you should come to my house for dinner tonight. I'll take you back later."

According to the hospitality ingrained in his nature, Yuan Qianye actually wanted to say that it was okay to stay overnight since it was too late today.

But he really doesn't have any extra rooms in his house, and he can't let a girl sleep in his boy's bed. That's not appropriate.

Not to mention that in addition to the piano teacher in front of him, he also invited another girl who was alone at home tonight.

only……

After hearing what he just said, Hesha in front of him seemed to stop moving her body instantly and completely lost her response.

"Teacher Touma?" Gen Qianye waved his hand.

The girl was silent for a few seconds, her eyes brightening again. She suppressed the increasingly rapid beating of her heart in her chest and asked, "Are you inviting me to your house?"

Yuan Qianye nodded: "Well, if you are willing to do me the honor."

"Wouldn't it be disturbing if I went there so late now?"

"What are you talking about? It's New Year's Eve. Every family eats late."

"Then... could you wait for me for a moment?"

"of course."

Dengdengdeng.

Hesha turned around and started walking quickly. Then, when she passed the corner and could not see Yuan Qianye, her pace changed to a jog, her hands clenched, and her hair flying!

…………

082: Why are there always girls around him? (6000) (1/46)

Gen Qianye hailed a taxi on the side of the road, opened the door and didn't rush in. Instead, he turned sideways and motioned Touma and Sa to get in first.

This was a normal little action for him, but it invisibly made the genius who stayed at home and had no friends around him feel a little nervous.

The two of them sat in the back seat together, Yuan Qianye gave an address, and the driver started the car.

Hesha was very grateful that the radio in the car was on. The noisy conversations of the host and several guests about all sorts of things also dispelled some of her inner tension.

Although it was obviously not like this last time, they both had a lot of fun, but for some reason, after meeting again after many days, they still felt a little unfamiliar.

Am I the only one who thinks this way?

Hesha didn't understand what was going on. She sat awkwardly on the far left side of the back seat, carefully maintaining a distance from Yuan Qianye who was sitting next to her.

At this time, she should be practicing the piano at home.

Mom is not at home, and it is still a very important New Year period.

Knowing that other families are reunited and enjoying each other's company, I compare my own situation to that of being alone in a big house.

Being alone will definitely make you feel a little lonely, and there will also be resentment in your heart.

But she knew there was no other way. She had already planned to lower her expectations to the lowest possible level.

Prepared for this night when everyone was laughing happily and even partying all night, I went straight to the piano room to practice and play the piano as hard as I could.

I play until I am exhausted, put aside all distractions and forget the loneliness, then fall asleep directly in the piano room. When I wake up, it will be daytime again, and the saddest and most difficult time will be over.

but now……

Because of Yuan Qianye's invitation, the saddest and most difficult time has been transformed and sublimated into something that makes people very happy and look forward to it.

It's not how much time you have, but how you use it.

Time does not stop its slow pace because of anyone, but a small change in one's own plan can make it appear in completely different... brilliant colors.

Touma Kazusa breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, the car stopped at the traffic light.

She seemed to be looking at the pedestrians passing by on the zebra crossing, but in fact she was able to use her peripheral vision to subtly glance at Yuan Qianye standing beside her.

He has a handsome and clear face, a slender and well-proportioned figure, his clothes are neat and clean, and his words and actions are graceful and unconventional... He is like the perfect male protagonist who walked out of a fairy tale picture book.

I have to admit that when I first met this boy, I didn't have a deeper understanding of him. Just based on his basic conditions, Hesha couldn't help but feel good about him.

It was a very natural emotion. Even if Yuan Qianye did not save her mother, but was a complete stranger, Hesha would probably have involuntarily taken a second look at him when she saw him for the first time.

It's not just humans. This is a natural pursuit of beauty in the genes of all living things. It's the instinct to reproduce. Strong and beautiful creatures are naturally more popular with their own kind.

But this point seems to be more obvious in Touma and his daughter.

In Hesha's impression, she just remembers that, apart from those necessary and useful connections around her mother, those male friends who were just used to kill time were all handsome.

Of course... no matter how handsome he is, he is not as handsome as the one next to me.

"that……"

After pondering for a few minutes, Hesha slowly spoke.

"...Is it really okay if I disturb you at your house?"

From childhood to now, she has never had the experience of visiting a friend's home even once.

Therefore, she was very nervous about this first experience today, fearing that she might not do something right and make her only friend unhappy... No, unhappy.

After replying to the message from his family, Yuan Qianye looked away from the phone screen and smiled to reassure her, "It's okay. I've already made arrangements in advance, and my parents know your mother, so you don't have to worry about anything."

That's it...
