[SD] Logic of Wild Dogs

Christmas is over and New Years is not far away.The Children's Hospital where Dong Si worked participated in the New Year's Charity Concert organized by the Red Cross Society. Due to Dong Si's excellent performance at the presentation before, this time he was also invited to perform on stage on the night of the concert, so there are always people in the apartment It is the melodious melody echoed by the violin.

"Have you decided on the piece to play?" Seeing her younger brother trying hard to eat all the rice in the bowl, Nanami asked Dongji's head.

"Well... I already have an idea."

"Which one is it?"

"Not quite ready yet...Let me keep it a secret for now."

"Huh? Even I can't say it?"

"Well, it's a surprise for my sister."

"Really? That must be a great song." Qihai smiled and said, "I'm looking forward to it."

The younger brother's secret repertoire really aroused Qihai's interest. In the evening, Dongsi closed the door of the piano room and practiced alone. Qihai listened with his ears pricked up while folding clothes with his mother in the next room.

A very strange bass, paused for a while, and another, gradually rising, intermittently.

"Pfft, what is this..." Yangzi couldn't help laughing.

Qihai also smiled, and was immediately stunned.

The music continued, although faltering, it gradually became a melody.

"It sounds like Violin Pieces No. [-], no... no, no, it's not..." It's a piece I've never heard before, but the melody is very familiar...

While meditating, the music was interrupted again, and then the high and low repetitions of note by note were repeated again.

"What a strange song." Yangzi put the folded clothes into the cabinet and commented with a smile.

"It's not the song, Dongji is auditioning." Qihai replied with a smile, feeling a little dazed for a moment, "It turns out... this habit still hasn't changed..."

The sweater in my hand has not yet been folded, and I am already trapped in memories.

At first, eight-year-old Nanami Xue participated in the piano interest class, and the young Dongji lost her temper because she couldn't go with her sister.Qihai patiently comforted his crying brother, and promised that he could stay together as long as he kept quiet when he practiced the piano.From then on, whenever Qihai practiced the piano, Dongji would sit on the floor next to her with a toy and play quietly.Every day, the siblings stay together in such a tacit understanding, listening to piano tapes and singing together, until one day...

Nanami still remembered that it was a summer afternoon.

Cicadas chirping, fingertips sweating and slipping on the keys, drowsy.

The repertoire practiced that day was the long-span "Tea Picking Dance". If you are not careful, you will play it wrong. Qihai can only force himself, and play it very carefully.The sound of the piano is dry and stagnant, sometimes stumbling and sometimes stumbling.

[No, sister. ] Dongji, who was obviously playing with toys, suddenly pointed out loudly, 【That sound was not there just now. 】

[Dongji, play with toys quietly, don't talk nonsense. ] Hot, boring and troubled, Qihai became a little impatient when his brother interrupted him for no reason.

[It's true, we've heard this song together. ] Dong Si stood up and ran over, 【It's clearly like this here...】

Dong Si climbed up to the piano bench, the little one was just as tall as the keyboard, he didn't know music theory and couldn't read the music score, he just pressed the keys one by one, memorizing the sound of each key.At first, Qihai thought it was just his younger brother being naughty, but after trying out the melody once, Dongji just pondered for a while, and then quickly typed out the melody just now on the keyboard with one finger.

[Look, that's right.It's this sound, not this sound. 】Dong Si focused on typing on the keyboard, the lively and cheerful melody of "Tea Picking Dance" poured down like a smart spring, as if some elf had cast magic on Dong Si's fingertips, even if it was just tapping with one finger The sound that comes out seems to have countless tiny stars dancing and twinkling...

Obviously it is the same melody, it is obviously the same piano, it is obviously the same family, but the cadenza that swirls out from the younger brother's hand is so dazzling... It's like the brightness of fireflies and the sun...

That year, Nanami Touji was just five years old.

【genius. 】

From that moment I knew it was genius.

Even though she is often praised by the teacher for playing very well, Qi Haixue understands that her excellence is only compared to ordinary children.And this level of excellence was only achieved by her hard work and not daring to relax for a day.However, what my younger brother has is something that Nanami Xuexue cannot achieve no matter how hard she works—that is talent.

No matter how much you envy, you can't get it, no matter how hard you try, you can't do it—talent.

Dongji is a child born in winter.Snow is the scene of cherry blossoms and snow in spring.But, in fact, it should be the opposite, right?The younger brother's talent is as gorgeous as cherry blossoms, while the older sister is as simple as the cold winter.

It's not that I won't be envious, it's not that I won't feel inferior, there will always be dissatisfaction, when you can't achieve it even if you work hard...

However, because he is the younger brother.

So while feeling joy and pride for her younger brother, Qi Haixue silently suppressed and forgot the sorrow she felt for herself.

Dongsi has his own way, and my sister has her own way to go - the way of ordinary people.

It doesn't matter if you don't have talent, as long as you work hard.As long as you work hard, you will be rewarded - this is the path of ordinary people.

Caressing the sweater with the pony pattern, Qihai smiled slightly, and folded the clothes in twos and threes, and then the next one, the next one...

"Axue." Yoko Nanami held her daughter's mechanical arm, "What are you thinking?"

"Mom..." Qihai raised her head, then lowered her head again, "It's nothing, just listening to Dong Si's piano sound, I couldn't help being addicted to it..."

"...Really?" Yoko smiled, did not continue to ask, but changed the subject, "Are you still used to life in Chicago?"

"Not really used to it." Qihai replied honestly.

Winter in Chicago is really cold and windy, but Kanagawa is much warmer.The Lake Michigan area obviously looks as vast as the sea, and it will freeze in winter, with a thick layer, it is still a lake after all.The Shonan Sea does not freeze, so there will be big waves on the beach at this time, right?There are always a lot of surfers who come to challenge the huge waves... During the Chinese New Year in Kanagawa, instead of going to any concerts, the whole family gathers to watch the Red and White Song Concert and eat a hot New Year's Eve dinner.Maybe during the annual vacation, I will go back to the countryside in Osaka and play with Ajun and Hanako.How will everyone in Xiangbei celebrate the New Year?If it was Ayako, she would probably invite me to say goodbye, right?Miyagi will follow, right?Then Yasuda-kun will definitely appear... The square in front of the temple is crowded with people, and everyone is beaming.Maybe I will meet Sato-kun, Mrs. B, and the squad leader... maybe I will meet Tokuo and the others, and... Mitsui-kun...

【Mitsui-kun...】

"Mom..." Qihai finally couldn't help but speak.

"what?"

"Aren't we... not going back to Kanagawa anymore?"

Yoko Qihai smiled helplessly, and reached out to stroke her daughter's hair: "Does Axue want to go back?"

"Well, I really want...I really want to go back." Nanami's voice trembled, and she pressed her face to her mother's palm, "The family, at home in Kanagawa, isn't it good?"

"...If Dongji's condition recovers, then it's fine." Yoko said softly, and hugged Qihai tenderly, "But your father just applied for a transfer, although he said he didn't know the result..." Yoko didn't Go on.

"Well... I know..." Qihai buried her head in her mother's arms, "I know..."

"How was life in high school? You must have made a lot of friends, right?"

"Hmm... Ayako, Miyagi, Yasuda-kun, ABC-ko, squad leader, Sato-kun, president Yuandai, Senpai Seki...everyone is fine."

Yoko patted her daughter's back lightly: "Are you sad? You suddenly came to a strange country and separated from your friends..."

"……No."

"It's really hard work for you, Axue." Yoko paused, then suddenly changed the subject, "By the way, that little boy your father mentioned...that... Where's Senior Mitsui?"

The heartstrings were plucked suddenly, that name... It seems that I haven't heard it for a long time.

"Mitsui...senior?" Just repeating the name, tears could not help but fall.

"Axue...?"

……

"So, did so many things happen?" Yoko handed the towel to Qihai, and sat down sighing.

"Yeah." After saying everything, it felt as if the whole person had been hollowed out, Qihai cried until her eyes were red and swollen, and she wiped it with a towel, "Yes, I'm sorry. I haven't said... woo, Kitamura , Mr. Kitamura said, you have to learn to rely on adults... Mom... woo..."

"Okay, okay, don't cry." Yangzi smiled helplessly and handed over the water glass, "Then, what does Ah Xue want to do?"

"I think... I think... Although it may not be possible at all, even though it's just a willful thought..." Holding the water glass tightly with her fingers, Qihai tried to raise her head while trembling, she looked directly at her mother His eyes slowly said, "But... I... want to stay by his side."

"..." Yoko Qihai lowered her eyes and did not speak.

"...Mom?" Qi Hai couldn't help but feel uneasy, she leaned forward and wanted to speak.

"Axue." Calmly stopped Qihai's words, Yoko put away the smile on her face, "If you want to go back just for a boy, mom won't agree."

"Mother?"

The author has something to say: Everyone has been waiting for a long time. There are many things at home during the Chinese New Year, and my thoughts are messed up. I really want to delete the previous chapter and rewrite it... _(:з)∠)_

No matter how I wrote this paragraph, I was not satisfied with it. I changed it many times, and finally split it into two chapters.The second half of the chapter is still being revised and will be released tomorrow.There are still two chapters before the end of the winter volume. It is really difficult to solve family problems within two chapters...

Put the scumbag hand-painted by the scumbag author, the Q-version color illustrations of [Mitsui Stray Dog] and [The Brave Three Beasts], let's put both colored versions.

Goodnight everybody.
