[Net King + Black Basket] Seijuro, your mother calls you to go home for dinner!

Seijuro was successfully promoted to the top class, and then hurriedly spent his fifth birthday.In less than half a year, he will graduate from the small class and go to the elementary school.He has indifferent anxiety, but more is anticipation.After all, it is no problem to cope with the junior three courses at my current level.

Masashi is still busy with work, and the situation of overtime work during the period from the end of the year to the beginning of the next year has skyrocketed, but he will still try his best to squeeze out a little time for his family.

Instead, the most free person in Akashi's family became the hostess Kaoru.In the past year, she has become the core figure of the translation team, and she often takes on news and cases with high exposure, and the increase in quantity and quality cannot keep her busy.

Xun Li closed the notebook, finished half a day's work, leaned on the chair and stretched lazily.She combed her hair with her fingers, and suddenly found that her waist-length hair had been cut to shoulder length.Xunli changed her hairstyle as she wished, and Seijuro protested against it, but was blocked by her saying "you'll get used to it just by looking at it".

"It's another boring day~ Why don't you go out and have a look!"

Her newfound interest was to quietly sneak out of the mansion when her son and husband were out, take a tram to the city center, and discover the inconspicuous but beautiful little corners of the city—a place that she once hated and resisted.

It seems to have become a habit. Every time Seijuro returns to his room and sees the small gift on the desk, he knows that Xunli is going to the city to press the road again.He always sat at the dining table calmly, waiting patiently for Xunli to take the initiative to mention the anecdotes that he met that day.

Holding a cup of hot latte, she stood at the intersection of Ginza in a daze, cars whizzing by and crowds of people.Xun Li didn't know where to go first, so he just followed the crowd.The white-collar students wearing OL uniforms or uniforms hurried past her, as if she was the idler with the most wasted life.

After the scorching midsummer and the cool and dry late autumn, the sweeping heat wave slowly receded like an ebb tide, and what got up quickly was not only the seasonal changes, but also people's pace.

Both sidewalks and roads have been sprinkled with salt in advance, and the covered white particles already give people the illusion that snow is coming.

"Hey! Is that Vanessa!"

A cool and familiar female voice sounded behind Xunli. Her mother tongue is English, she quickly reacted, and the owner of the voice subconsciously emerged in her mind.

"It's really you!"

The linen clothes that I haven't seen for a long time have not changed, and they are still dressed as if they were in autumn in the middle of winter.The ordinary dress of a hooded sweater and UGG boots makes it difficult to see her identity.

"I just wanted to contact you, but I saw it~" Mai smiled like a flower, although this expression didn't quite match her.

"Tsk, you only think of me before you leave, right?" Xun Li's eyes touched the handsome blond guy behind her, "Hey, you are..."

Forgive her, she has long forgotten the last name of the handsome man's agent (Chapter 10).

"Kose Yuu."

"Oh yes, hello."

Mai hugged Xunli, with the appearance of "you are my good sister".

"My plane is tomorrow, don't miss me too much!"

"Oh, congratulations... Huh?" Xun Li was shocked, "I'm tired of staying here and finally going to leave?"

"Fuck off! You're still so unrelenting," she protested. "Don't forget that I'm just a model and I'm training at clubs on the West Coast."

"Has the contract with Classic expired?"

"It was originally signed for four years." She snatched Xun Li's cup and took half of the latte inside as her own. "It is still more important to prepare carefully for next year's crown game (the highest level tennis event hosted by the WTA)."

"It's really rare, you also know how to prioritize."

Xunli naturally knows how well-developed her sister's athletic cells are, and it's no wonder that Jingwu, who is obsessed with tennis, clings to her so tightly.

Mai didn't plan to wear her all-round manager Huang Seyu on this trip, and Xunli was shocked when he heard him mention the reason without hesitation.It turns out that this handsome guy with long legs who has won a good ranking in tennis tournaments (I want to play Obama ==) has a child of the same age as her at home.They are only three years apart in age.

Mai shook the empty coffee cup in his hand, and threw it into the trash can three meters away in disappointment.

"I have to go now."

"Ah."

"What, so indifferent." She pretended to be sad, "Oh, it doesn't matter if I see you or not, I miss my cute and well-behaved nephew even more."

"I don't want you to flirt with me~" Xun Li snorted softly.

"Are you sure you don't want him to learn tennis? It's an interesting sport."

"Don't think about it, if you want to learn, you also learn basketball!" She firmly believes that Seijuro can achieve something no matter what sports he is engaged in if conditions permit. Minister?

The two sisters were laughing and joking, and even though they were fighting for each other, they still hugged each other intimately before parting.

On the way home, Xunli inevitably thought of the question of letting Seijuro learn basketball.

Will Masashi agree?

In the eyes of that young Old Antique, the sports that the hot-blooded boy loves are probably just a dispensable pastime.Similarly, Masashi's courses on Seijuro's shoulders became more and more onerous, perhaps due to his higher grades, he was too busy to take care of the various interest classes on weekdays alone.

"I can't go on like this... Seijuro won't be able to take it anymore."

She protested to Masashi more than once.Although it has subsided for a while... maybe it's time to launch a new round of offensive?

Xunli pressed his forehead against the cold side glass, and traced a Q version of Seijuro with his fingertips on the foggy window—the upturned corners of the mouth, the cheeks that have not faded from the baby fat, and the slightly raised pupils. Brighten.

When he was absent-minded, his fingers suddenly bent, and his nails accidentally knocked against the glass.She withdrew her hand, the cold temperature still lingering on her fingertips.

……

After returning home in the afternoon, she happened to hear Seijuro playing the piano in the piano room on the third floor.Although his piano skills are not perfect, he has practiced the basic etudes very skillfully, and he can even complete several famous songs.

Xunli stood at the door and listened for a while. The Adagio from the Secret Garden easily aroused the emotion called bitterness and sadness in her heart. The strange thing is that the anger that had nowhere to be vented in her chest was quickly calmed down by the gentle sound of the piano up.

She didn't dare to open the door and go in to interrupt his performance. It was a crime to rudely interrupt the "little musician" who was practicing.

"Mother!?"

Seijuro, who was bathed in the winter twilight, felt footsteps outside the door, and he pulled the wrong string with a trembling hand.

"Discovered? Sorry..."

"It's okay." Seijuro turned his head shyly, the tips of his ears were quietly stained red.Like many kids, for some reason they don't want their parents to sit in while they practice.

"Tired? Take a rest, Dad won't know." She winked at him playfully.

Xunli tried his best to transmit the skill of being lazy to Seijuro, and the well-behaved child could always see the worry in the mother's eyes, and would always comfort her softly at this time.

"I learned easily, don't worry, mom."

After saying that, he was afraid that Xun Li would not believe it, so he worked harder to play the newly learned violin repertoire.

"That's why I'm worried..." The last word disappeared in the warm and dry air.Xun Li shook his head resentfully, and stood abruptly in the middle of the piano room, either sitting down or sitting down.

He played a piece of music that might not be very well-known, and Xun Li didn't comprehend any profound meaning from it at this time, but simply felt that the melody was simple and comfortable, sometimes it was as soft as a breeze, and sometimes it was like someone whispering, Slightly hurtful... Seijuro must have incorporated his views when playing.

Xun Li felt sad for no reason, and wiped away the warm liquid/body flowing from the wet corners of his eyes with his fingertips.Sometimes he doesn't know what Seijuro is thinking at all.

There are too many things in that little head, but he is restrained and reserved, and he never learns to reveal his true feelings easily.

Through this melodious music, he must have conveyed the feelings that he would not dare to say on weekdays, right?

The song is over.

Seijuro turned his head, staring at his mother with bright eyes, expecting her approval.

……

Xun Li was in a dilemma.

She never dared to say "it sounds so good" and other encouragement, for fear that Seijuro would work harder to learn these instruments after receiving the encouragement.If she says "it's not suitable for you", will it destroy his self-confidence and at the same time make him give up the idea of ​​continuing to study?

She didn't want to think about it, so she could only applaud desperately and smile, "It's very nice, but I've never heard this song before~ Is it a new song?"

Seijuro pondered for a moment, then spoke hesitantly. "It's called..."Songs My Mother Taught Me."

"...Why do you suddenly want to play this song?" What a stupid question!

"I asked the teacher to look for songs related to "Mother". He was even more embarrassed, and whispered in a childish and immature voice. "For you, mother!" "

When he spoke the second half of the sentence, Seijuro suddenly widened his eyes solemnly, and his tone was extremely serious.The tense little face only lasted for a few seconds, and then he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Xunli's facial expression also became very rich, the corners of her mouth couldn't stop rising, and she burst into tears from laughing.

"Xiao Zheng is so cute, thank you!"

After the performance, Xunli left the classical piano room on the grounds of tidying up the room.She walked very lightly, as if she didn't want to disturb Seijuro who continued to practice.

Little did they know that the little red-haired boy was facing her back, absent-mindedly playing the recited etude.

"Mom, there are actually lyrics in this song——

在 我 童年 的 时候

Mother taught me to sing and sing

in her loving eyes

Music flashes into tears"

He noticed that the tears in her eyes were shining, and at first he panicked and thought he had done something wrong, but he suddenly realized that the long-preserved heart must have been fully conveyed to her through the song that meant a lot to him .

Seijuro is currently stepping up his pace to prepare for the children's violin competition next month. He is at the youngest level, but the repertoire he prepares is several levels more difficult than children of the same age.But Masashi did not cancel the two piano lessons per week, and the time for violin practice was extended by two times. It can be said that Seijuro's spare time was ruthlessly taken up.

In this case, it would be strange if Xun Li was not in a hurry.

Mom lost her temper, with serious consequences.

"Just learn one musical instrument!" In the evening, she couldn't bear it anymore and rushed into Yashi's study and slapped the table hard.As long as it was about Seijuro, she was unequivocal.

Ya Shi flicked his hand to flip the book, and then regained his composure. "I have my own measure. Besides, many children are like this, why can't Xiaozheng?"

"Other people's children? Don't compare Xiaozheng with other people's children!" Xun Li stared, "Xiaozheng has to learn everything from piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, as well as equestrianism, foreign languages, fencing... I can't bear it anymore !"

"Of course, you are not on the same line."

Ya Shi closed the book, hugged his shoulders and sneered.This is the consistent attitude of the two sides when confronting each other. The violent side launched a violent attack, and the vicious side strongly refuted.

Xun was out of breath, a crossroads popped out on his forehead. "Blame me!?"

"You admitted it yourself."

"Don't change the subject, we can't change this matter! Besides, we should listen to Xiaozheng's wishes! And for interest classes, the quality is not the quantity!"

"If the Akashi family can't even handle this, why spend energy on him?"

As always, he has a sharp mouth and a tofu heart. He is strict with Seijuro but at the same time pays close attention to his dynamics, whether it is psychological or physical.

Seijuro's weight in his heart may be beyond Xun Li's imagination.But whenever he brought up family-related topics, she inexplicably felt a little melancholy for Masashi himself.

"What kind of cruel and indifferent childhood made you become what you are now?"

Masashi is extremely reluctant to let people mention his past, and he seldom talks about his parents who have lived in seclusion all the year round.There is no doubt that his elderly parents never really gave him the love he deserved.

I'm afraid he has never found out that his so-called way of love is wrong.

"I'm tired." Masashi probably didn't want to get entangled with someone who lowered his IQ anymore, so he decisively issued a eviction order.

"..."

"go out."

Once Masashi got mad, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Xunli's attack ended in failure again.Her skill of observing words and emotions has been mastered, so it's okay to be annoyed on weekdays, but once she realizes that Yashi's poker face has cracks, she can live in harmony by accepting husband and wife when they see each other.

Masashi stared at her back indifferently, and sighed softly... Next time he will have to think of a different way to send her away.Xun Li's firm eyes were clear and he said, "I won't give up on this."

The author has something to say: In the blink of an eye, half of the summer vacation has passed, where did the QAQ time go! !

This volume will be finished within four chapters, and the next volume will be about elementary school + junior high school.Recently, I have been thinking about all kinds of unreliable small theaters, such as the giant Akashi in high school going back to his childhood...=3=
