Classic soul swap, but a musical

The room where the filming was done was a very small place, with only a curtain at the door as a partition.

Ai Aragaki pulled Mu, and the camera reflected the faces of both of them. Only half of Mu was on the screen, so he simply put his arm around the girl's shoulders.

"Just smile a little."

"Yeah." Mu nodded.

The photo was printed out quickly and put into a necklace by the staff. Aragaki Ai held it in her hand and touched it lightly. The lid popped open, revealing the photo inside. The boy smiled brightly, and the girl just chuckled slightly.

Just as Aragaki Ai was about to pay, Mu got there first. She held the pendant and paid.

As she left the store, her eyes never left her, still fixed on the necklace.

Ai Aragaki sent her to the parking lot. There were indeed fewer people around, and occasionally people could be seen going to the parking lot.

When they were almost at the parking lot, Mu stopped, pulled his arm, and shook it gently.

"What's wrong."

"Love..." She handed over the necklace, her eyes filled with anticipation, and raised her head slightly.

"Okay, let me put it on for you."

Ai Aragaki took the necklace from her hand, held her long hair with one hand, revealing her slender neck.

He moved closer to Mu, very close.

He put his hands over her shoulders, as if holding her in his arms. Only in this way could he put on the necklace.

With a simple click, the necklace is ready.

She still couldn't bear to let go of love. Would there be such a beautiful time again? She was afraid that if she let go, everything would disappear.

"like......"

"Why, you still can't bear to leave?" He had a wicked smile on his face. "How about this, if you can't bear to leave, how about we come here every year from now on?"

"Really?" She tilted her head, her eyes widened with anticipation.

"I won't lie to you. How about we make a pinky promise?" Aragaki Ai stretched out her little finger.

"Pull the hook."

In the moonlight, the little fingers are hooked together.

She finally decided to go back, got in the car, and waved to Aragaki Ai until the car turned a corner and she could no longer see the boy, then she looked away.

It's getting late.

There was no one around in the parking lot and it felt a bit gloomy, but soon a group of people came over and attracted Aragaki Ai's attention.

They carried the equipment onto several vans.

Aragaki Ai didn't know him and was about to take the tram home. As soon as he turned around, he heard someone calling him.

"Aragaki?"

Turning around, I found it was Sanjiao Chuhua. She came here with that group of people.

"It's so late, why haven't you gone home yet?"

It was actually only nine o'clock, but the amusement park was about to close and many facilities no longer allowed queues.

The girl asked him as she smoothed her hair behind her ears and smiled softly at him.

"Do you want me to take you back?"

"No, I can just take the tram back and go for a run at the same time." Aragaki Ai refused.

"It's okay. The office car can go back with us to the area near the station."

Chu Hua made the invitation again with a smile on his face.

He felt it would be impolite to refuse again, so he nodded and got in the car with her.

Sitting in the car, two people leaned on each side, leaving a large empty space in the middle.

The air conditioner was turned on low and it was a little cold.

The blonde girl rested her elbows on the side of the car, clenched her fists slightly, and looked at the boy's profile with her chin resting on her chin.

"Where's Mu? Why isn't he with you?"

"I'll take her home first." Aragaki Ai looked out the window, and when she was near the station, she chose to get off.

Chu Hua wanted to find out more information, but he couldn't ask because it felt too deliberate.

She could only smile and say goodbye to him, "See you tomorrow night, Aragaki."

"Okay, see you tomorrow night." Aragaki Ai walked into the station, leaving her with only her back.

Volume 1: Chapter 143: Summer

The next day, the weather was very good.

It seems like it hasn't rained for a long time, which makes people sigh that spring is gone.

After her morning run, Aragaki Ai went home to take a shower, blow-dry her long hair, and stood in front of the mirror. She felt that her hair had grown a little longer and could already cover her eyes.

He fixed his hair slightly, put on his rather uncomfortable suit, and headed to the competition venue.

Fortunately, the outfit the teacher picked for him was not too old-looking and was not a particularly formal style.

The competition venue was very close to him and he arrived there in less than half an hour. It was indeed a small competition with not many spectators and contestants.

The female pianist had arrived a long time ago. She folded her hands in front of her chest and talked to Aragaki Ai about the things she needed to pay attention to in this competition.

"It should be no problem to say goodbye. How's your Chopin practice going? Didn't you practice yesterday? What were you doing?"

"...went to the playground."

Ai Aragaki was silent at first, and then she told the truth directly. There was no way to lie in this situation, and there was no need to lie.

"Oh?"

To his surprise, the female pianist not only did not get angry, but also raised her eyebrows and asked back.

"with who?"

"Mu."

"Ah, it's Mu after all?" She looked at Aragaki Ai with a look as if she had guessed the answer.

"Well, I can guess it."

"...It has nothing to do with the teacher." Aragaki Ai had to admit that the teacher was very good to him, but he still didn't want the older generation to pay too much attention to matters of the heart.

"Don't say that. Go play the piano. If you're free next week, I'll take you to pick out a new outfit before the competition. Remember to win first place again."

The female pianist patted his shoulder and said, "I'll wait for you in the auditorium. You don't need me to tell you to relax."

"Well, don't worry."

Ai Aragaki was very confident in her abilities, and she smiled as she escorted her teacher from the backstage to the front audience seats.

He watched the teacher sit in the front rows, greeting other people in the industry, chatting and laughing.

Looking back slightly, the blue color is hard to ignore. Xiaoxiang's temperament makes her particularly dazzling among the passers-by, and she can be seen almost at a glance.

He waved at Xiangzi, but the girl did not respond. She took out her cell phone from her bag and sent him a message.

"Play well."

"Don't worry, first place will definitely be mine." The boy's fingers jumped quickly on the screen, and his confidence overflowed through the screen and into the air. When the other contestants next to him saw him, their faces became obviously uglier and more nervous.

After just one competition, many people remembered his name and regarded him as a formidable enemy.

He wasn't nervous at all, and confessed that the piece had been polished quite well, and unless he could raise his piano level to seven, there would probably be no chance of improvement.

There were staff maintaining order, and he quickly returned to the backstage, waiting for his appearance.

Wandering casually backstage, Aragaki Ai hummed a little tune and treated the game with a rather relaxed attitude.

The blond hedgehog-haired guy over there seemed a little annoyed, but didn't come to pick a fight. He just stared at him with a vicious look.

After several people had gone on stage, it was Ai Aragaki's turn, and there were not many people behind him.

At this level, you can't beat him.

Aragaki Ai went up and played a farewell song, and the audience was silent. Some of the judges had heard his previous competition and seemed to give him higher evaluations.

"In such a short time, it's been polished so well? Almost perfect, right?"

"He's only fifteen years old, he still has a chance to make a breakthrough."

"In a year or two, this song will definitely be his masterpiece."

"It's a lot better than the others."

"This guy is actually Yaozi's student. This is so infuriating. Where did he find that guy? This kind of talent is the same for any teacher."

"........"

Ai Aragaki took this opportunity to use a detector on the blond hedgehog-headed boy, and it turned out that his piano level was only level five, just like the little Mutou before. Among ordinary people, he could be called a genius.

He yawned, still not planning to check his grades, and prepared to leave directly. Before he left, he was stopped by the teacher.

"Hey, I got your video. Is that okay with you?"

"No, it's useless for me to ask for it."

"You guy, don't waste your talent." The female pianist sent him away and prepared to mail the video abroad.

"It's okay, teacher."

The dim light shines on the boy's face, his smile is particularly sunny, and the amplitude of her waving hands causes her hair to sway, which is full of youthfulness.

Yoko's smile was full of helplessness. Looking at the results she had received in advance, Aragaki Ai's score was obviously higher than others. Every judge gave her a very high evaluation, so she must be the first place.

The Farewell would become his magnum opus.

He saw Xiangzi at the exit of the concert hall. The girl with long blue hair was carrying a small bag and had her back straight, but not in a stiff way. Her posture was quite elegant and natural. It was obvious that she had received special training and had good upbringing.

The boys and men coming in and out were all looking at him secretly, and a few of them even tried to approach him and chat with him.

But, among this group of people, one person actually went up and greeted them calmly.

"Are you waiting for me?"

"..."

Some people recognized him, and the farewell song he just sang made many people step back.

However, no one thought that Aragaki Ai could successfully strike up a conversation with the girl in front of her.

"I'm waiting for a liar, are you?"

"Saki, this is too sad." Aragaki Ai smiled and led Xiangzi out of the concert hall under the gazes of everyone around.

She saw that he wanted to leave, and was a little confused. She frowned slightly and asked.

"Aren't you waiting for the results?"

"No need, it must be number one."

The boy’s smile was very handsome, but the contestants around him couldn’t smile.

If possible, they really don't want to compete with Aragaki Ai. It's a bit too depressing.

Xiangzi was infected by his atmosphere, smiled too, and left the concert hall with him.

The weather has indeed become hot. Wearing this outfit and walking on the street, I seem to be sweating.

After leaving the air-conditioned concert hall, he wanted to change back into an ordinary shirt. Before Aragaki Ai could say anything, Xiangzi took the initiative to ask him.

".....Is it okay today?"

"Well, it's indeed possible."

Aragaki Ai thought that instead of being so hot, it would be better to choose Xiaoxiang, who would just be responsible for hanging up the phone.

He paused and said, "Let's go to the station."

"Why?" Xiangzi was puzzled.
