I have a lot of green plums

Yukinoshita Yukino, who had been paying attention to him, naturally noticed it immediately, so she immediately asked, "What's wrong? Is there anything wrong?"

"No, it's nothing."

Si Yueyuzhi shook his head and answered insincerely. Although I have long known that this world has a lot of room for development in the fields of culture and art, this space is too big.

"Do you know that you subconsciously shake your head when you lie?"

"Oh, really?" Siyue Yuzhi matched the girl's surprised expression.

"I've told you that you're not suitable to be a comedian." Yukinoshita Yukino felt somewhat happy about the boy's cooperation, but her face remained cold.

"Tell me, what is it?"

"Can you really say that?"

"There are no outsiders here, and there are no eavesdropping devices." Yukinoshita Yukino said calmly.

Hearing this, Si Yue Yu Zhi thought for a moment before speaking: "Is this really the song for the competition? Or did you choose the one that others left?"

"..."

Now Yukinoshita Yukino finally understood why the boy frowned. She felt a little amused and helpless, and said, "Not everyone is as good as you, and this is just the regional preliminary round."

In fact, this song "Snow" is already of very good standard for most people, and other people would not have any doubts about it.

But who made him his partner? Compared with the songs composed by this young man, this song "Snow" is quite different.

At least, that's what she thought.

He wrote amazing music in the fifth grade. He is a guy that makes people jealous and unable to resist...

However, when she thought about the fact that the boy's talent was gained at the cost of such a tragic past, the jealousy in her heart miraculously disappeared, and all that was left was heartache.

Yes, she watched the live broadcast, and it was also the first time she knew the boy’s past.

Before that, he always thought that the boy had a wonderful life, because he was so cheerful and proud, and had the courage to burn his boats that ordinary people did not have.

"Can you change it? Or use a song you made up yourself?"

In Si Yueyu's opinion, since he had participated in the competition, he had to win, and this song obviously did not meet the conditions for winning.

"..."

Chapter 224 April is your promise

The competition does not require contestants to use designated music. If you are confident in yourself, you can indeed compose your own music to participate in the competition.

However, few contestants would do this, because most people only know how to play, and it is very difficult for them to compose their own music.

And even if it is created, it may not be that good, and it may even be unbearable for people to listen to.

Therefore, basically most of the contestants, to be on the safe side, always use the songs from the competition. In this way, apart from the performance level, they are at least on the same starting line as other contestants.

However, there are occasionally contestants with wealthy families who choose to pay some music masters to compose music for them.

"Now, please invite Yukinoshita-san and her partner to come on stage and perform wonderful music for us."

As the lights on the stage dimmed and brightened, April Yuzhi was already sitting in front of the piano, and Yukinoshita Yukino was already standing in front of the stage.

There were many people coming to watch the competition, and when they saw the young man on the stage, some of them quickly recognized him.

Isn’t the young man sitting in front of the piano April Yuzhi who has frequently appeared in the public eye in recent times?

I heard that he was not only the first in the Tokyo joint entrance examination, but also a famous composer on the Internet.

"Hey, this is a bit too much. If April teacher appears, it will be a complete dimensionality reduction attack on other contestants."

"Oh my god, I never thought I'd meet Teacher April here. Why didn't the competition organizer release any news?"

"Who is that girl? Why is she able to have Teacher April as her accompanist?"

"She seems to be the second daughter of the Yukinoshita family. She ranked third in the joint entrance exam and is also a student at Tokyo Central."

"Humph, what's so great about April Teacher and May Teacher? No matter how good they are, can they play the songs in the competition well?"

There are people who like April Yuzhi, and naturally there are also those who hate her.

"That's it. You fans shouldn't be too optimistic. This is a fair game after all."

......

The discussions of the audience inside and outside the venue did not affect the two people on the stage. Si Yue Yuzhi took a deep breath and pressed the piano keys.

The gentle sound of the piano suddenly rang in everyone's ears. For a moment, the people who were just whispering fell silent and their eyes fell on the stage.

Everyone knows a little about music, and even if you don't understand it after listening to so many cookie-cutter competition songs before, you will know at this point that this is an original piece of music.

The sound of the piano seemed to contain magic, which made the audience present feel peaceful involuntarily.

At this moment, people feel as if they are in the quiet nature, and what is in front of them is no longer a stage, but a vast lake.

The breeze blew across the lake, creating tiny ripples, and the twinkling blue sky and white clouds were all in it.

Just this short prelude has already made some people give it extremely high praise.

And then, before the piano sound ended, the sound of violin rang out.

If the sound of the piano makes people feel gentle, then the sound of the violin adds a touch of sadness to this gentleness.

It was as if the originally sunny world suddenly became gloomy, and fine raindrops fell, hitting the calm lake surface and creating ripples.

Just like their hearts at this moment, peaceful and a little sad.

Si Yue Yuzhi looked up at the girl in front of the stage. She was wearing a white dress, her back was straight, and her movements were graceful. It was only then that he seemed to truly understand the meaning of "Xue" in the girl's name.

And Yukinoshita Yukino seemed to have sensed his gaze and glanced slightly to the side. The two people's gazes met in mid-air.

There was no emotion that was so intense that it could burn people, nor was there any profound words involved. They just smiled at each other and then looked away.

The three-minute performance felt so long that people still felt unsatisfied even after the performance ended.

“This song is dedicated to everyone.”

The protagonist, Yukinoshita Yukino, bowed slightly to the judges and the audience in front of the stage, and then the stage lights dimmed again.

"Wonderful, wonderful."

“It’s amazing how one piece of music can make me feel peaceful and sad at the same time.”

"Is this song composed by that boy?"

The judges were still immersed in the music, but the audience was once again immersed in discussions.

"As expected of April teacher, a masterpiece as always."

"This is the strength of April teacher, this is the strength of the sad nobleman!"

"Where is the guy who was questioning April teacher just now? Why is he silent now?"

......

"He is our Shuchiin's archenemy..."

"Yeah, yeah, how's it going? Pretty cool, right?"

“He is indeed an excellent person.”

The girl's cold voice and eyes didn't sound like she was praising someone.

Not far from them, a trace of sadness appeared in the man's eyes. He sat in silence for a long time before he let out an imperceptible sigh.

As expected, the winners of this competition were easily won by April Yuzhi and Yukinoshita Yukino. However, neither of them looked very happy.

After all, this was only the preliminary round in the Chiba region, and there was still a long way to go before the national finals.

"Excuse me, Yukinoshita-san, what do you want to say to everyone after winning first place?"

After presenting the first place trophy, you can't just leave like that. If you don't say something, people might think you're arrogant.

Therefore, even though Yukinoshita Yukino didn't want to say anything, in order not to give rise to ulterior motives, she still said a few words seriously.

“Everyone is very good, but there is still a lot of room for improvement.”

"Ha..." Hearing this, Siyue Yuzhi, who was watching backstage, couldn't help but hold his forehead. The thing he was most worried about happened. This guy is really bad at talking.

It would be better to just take the prize and leave without saying anything.

"Haha..." The host also realized the wrongness of this sentence. After laughing awkwardly twice, he quickly changed the subject.

"What are your goals for the future, Yukinoshita-san?"

"Win the national championship." Yukinoshita Yukino replied calmly.

"What an ambitious goal! I'd like to wish you all the best." The host said a few words of praise as usual, and then asked, "Could you tell us how you got April teacher to be your accompanist?"

This question is basically what everyone is most concerned about, so as soon as the host asked it, everyone immediately pricked up their ears attentively to listen to the girl's answer.

"This is a private matter, I cannot answer that."

"..."

Everyone was disappointed upon hearing this, but they soon perked up again after hearing the girl's subsequent twist.

"But..." Yukinoshita Yukino lowered her eyes slightly, and her originally cold voice was filled with a hint of tenderness: "I am very grateful to him. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be standing here."

Yes, if that young man had not saved her, she might have been missing something in a foreign country now.

It is because of his existence that she can cheer up, stand here, and find more meaning in life.

"Oh~ It seems there are many secrets in it."

......

In the lounge, Si Yueyuzhi felt a surge of emotion in his heart and a relieved smile appeared on his face. He did not expect the girl to suddenly say such words.

When Yukinoshita Yukino came back, April Yuzhi naturally walked up to her side, took the trophy from her hand and shook it.

“Hey, is it plastic?”

"Otherwise, do you think it's made of crystal agate?"

"What a stingy game."

He returned the trophy to the girl speechlessly, and then the two of them secretly walked out of the venue while there were still few people around.

They took the exit reserved for contestants, but unexpectedly they were still blocked by people.

Looking at the middle-aged man standing in front of him, Si Yue Yu Zhi asked, "Sir, what can I do for you?"

The man in front of him was wearing a well-fitting suit. He was handsome and mature, but most importantly, he also had a hint of the majesty of a superior.

But it's of no use to him.

"You, you must be Teacher April." The middle-aged man smiled and asked knowingly, "Did you write that song? It's pretty good."

"Thank you for the compliment." Si Yue Yu Zhi responded politely, "But if that's all you want to say, it's about time we leave."

He could tell that the man in front of him was not his fan. Although he had a kind expression, the thoughts in his eyes were so deep that it was difficult for him to see through them.

He didn't really like dealing with people like this.

"Oh, sorry, did I bother you?"

Si Yueyuzhi nodded decisively: "Yes, sorry to bother you."

The man's face froze when he heard this, and then he smiled helplessly, "Okay, I was presumptuous."

After saying that, he stepped aside casually.

The boy left his side without hesitation, and looking at the figure getting farther and farther away, the depth in his eyes was gradually replaced by sadness.

"Is he our child?"

"camlet......"

Recalling the memories of the past, the man's heart was filled with pain again.

"That man is a little strange."
