[Golden String] Golden Tears

The author has something to say:

"this."

In the conference room of the music science building.

Just after announcing the theme of the final selection contest, a piece of paper appeared in front of Hiroto Kanazawa at the right time.

"This?...What is it?" He stared blankly at the fair face of Azuma teak who was visible from above for a long time.

The other party showed a very warm smile.

"Senior Wang Qi accidentally mentioned this to me the day before yesterday, so I went to the student union to check the student information as soon as the third trial yesterday was over."

"Check student information?" Hiroto Kanazawa was even more at a loss, and he repeated Yuzuki Azuma's explanation in a daze, "What are you doing to check student information?" At the end, he finally squeezed out such a question.

Get closer.

After an answer that was so low that people around could not hear it even if their ears were pricked up, Hiroto Kanazawa yelled out in surprise:

"What? You mean Rei Ishikawa... 'by another name'? What does that mean?"

As soon as the voice fell, all the figures who packed up and walked towards the door stopped at the same time.

Turning his head sideways, his eyes that wanted to find out were all focused on the same place - Hiroto Kanazawa who was about to sigh in astonishment.

"So Kanazawa-sensei, you don't know about this either?"

The thin lips parted, and the slightly surprised golden-brown eyes widened slightly.

With one hand scratching his hair irritably, Hiroto Kanazawa held up the paper that Azuma Yuzuki had handed over with his other hand, and looked at it.After a long while, he frowned: "This student profile doesn't seem to be a problem. Whether it's the Chinese characters or phonetic notation of the name, it's normal, and there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with other things, including photos and address rules... You What do you want me to see?!"

"Here." Yuzuki Azuma's slender fingers slid across the paper and stopped between a few Chinese characters, "Ishikawa Rei, it's not the surname 'Ishikawa' and the single name 'Zero' as we thought, but the single surname' Stone', named 'Chuan Ling'. More importantly, her name is not 'いしかわれい (IshikawaRei)' as she first introduced, but 'シチュアンリン (ShiChuanrin)'... Well, yes Very strange pronunciation, it doesn't sound like Japanese at all."

Following the fall of the uncertain voice, there was silence.

Every face present seemed to have not heard, but seemed to be stunned because they did not understand the meaning of those words, only the stunned eyes gathered on Yuzuki Azuma.

For a long time, it is difficult to return to God.

"...Hearing you say it this way... this name seems...familiar?!" Hiroto Kanazawa scratched his head vigorously, trying to find similar impressions in his mind, but otherwise, his tone was full of uncertainty, "I always feel like I've heard it somewhere..."

It was because these words brought back some memories of someone, and the atmosphere in the conference room became more dignified and quiet.

Frowning, downcast eyes, dumbfoundedness, forehead strokes, different colors are appearing on different faces.

……

"...the pronunciation sounds—much like Chinese!"

"……what……?"

"Sorry, I heard that Mr. Kanazawa is here, may I ask..."

As if to confirm the phrase "things must be reversed at extremes", after a lengthy silence as if time stood still, several voices sounded almost at the same time, cutting off each other's follow-up words.

The sudden insertion of the voice made everyone unconsciously skip Hiroto Kanazawa's murmur to himself, and even Azuma Yuzuki, who was closest to him, couldn't help but be attracted by the person coming from the door of the conference room after uttering a monophonic doubt. Give full attention.

Wang Qixinwu habitually supported the mirror frame on the bridge of his nose, not knowing how to react to the sudden gazes, he froze on the spot, unable to move forward or retreat.

"Ah, it's Wang Qi, what's the matter?"

Instead, Hiroto Kanazawa was the first to come back to his senses and speak out, which relieved the siege in front of him.

"Well, it's...it's about Ishikawa Rei-senpai."

Before the words were spoken, everyone who appeared to be the same as usual on the surface had already listened carefully, so it was not surprising to find that Wang Qixinwu had changed the pronunciation of those words.Perhaps Hiroto Kanazawa was the only one who didn't immediately realize this.

"Who?... Oh! Rei Ishikawa." Frowning, he paused, "Why is it her business again... Wait a minute, Yuki, it seems that what you said just now is because of what Wang Qi proposed, so you will go Students will look up her profile, won't they?"

"Yes."

"..." The response was a heavy sigh, "Tell me, Wang Qi, what is it?"

Even if you are not careful, you can easily hear the helplessness in the procrastinated tone.

However, this seems to be Kanazawa Hiroto's consistent attitude and tone. It is really hard to say whether he is really not interested in this at all?

"Well. I found these in the school library today." As he spoke, he listed a stack of paper pages that looked like photocopied news reports on the nearby desktop.

"Oh? You mean, the library over there at your Music University?" I shaved my hair, reached out to pick up one of the pages, and was stunned after reading the title. "?ha? !This... what is this? ! "

"Mr. Kanazawa, look at the photo below."

"...Is Ishikawa Rei?! Although she looks much younger, but she is too similar! No, this is definitely her!"

"Hey! Isn't this the photo I saw at Xiaoling's house that day?"

While Hiroto Kanazawa was still immersed in the shock of this "out-of-season" news, the "competitors" who were still in the conference room had "come uninvited" around him and were reading the printed paper. The contents of the page in his hand.

Hino Kahoko just couldn't help but let out an exclamation, and Tsuchiura Ryotaro simply took over all the remaining papers on the table.

"Oh? What Hino-sister means is that you went to Ishikawa school...well, have you seen this photo at Shi-xue's house?"

"Yes, Senior Teak. At that time, I wanted to ask Xiao Ling, but..." The crisp voice gradually turned into a murmur that was almost inaudible.

Hino Kahoko couldn't help but think of the scene at Ishikawa Rei's house that day, and Ishikawa Rei's reaction when he heard the recording studio. She was puzzled, but she couldn't help but feel sad for her.

"I see..." Yuzuki Azuma nodded understandingly.

"The gifted girl Ishikawa Rei and the gifted boy Shen Zongzhe have been performing their tacit understanding and extraordinary duet all over the world since they were twelve years old... Oh! If it weren't for what Yuzuki said just now, I would never have put these few films together Kana and Ishikawa-chan... no, Ishikawa-chan's name is linked together!"

Huoyuan Kazuki couldn't help sighing just after reading the first sentence in the press release.

"Yes...well...but, this 'Shen Zongzhe'...who is it?"

"I don't know, but they are so amazing! They have been performing all over the world since they were 12 years old! Also, from the name, Shinmune Tetsu looks like a Japanese name! Shimizu ちゃん!"

"Hmm...it looks like this...Hinohara-senpai..."

"However, since the two of them, judging from this news, can be regarded as very successful in the music industry, why do I have no impression of the name 'Shen Zongzhe' at all?"

After turning several pages in a row, Tsuchiura Ryotaro couldn't help but wondered to himself.

"That... Tsuchiura-senpai, maybe...that, it's because of this reason." Donghai Shengzi timidly handed out the one that Tsuchiura Ryotaro had just dropped on the ground when he took those pages from the desktop.

In an instant, all eyes focused on Dong Hai Shengzi at the same time.Then, silent.

"The genius piano boy Shen Zongzhe died unexpectedly in the subway station."

A row of eye-catching headlines in ink and black fonts made everyone agree with each other.

……

"Could it be...is that why Xiao Ling always looks so sad?"

After a long time, Hino Kahoko speculated with half suspicion and half certainty.

"About this question, I think it's better to ask her directly." After another long silence, Tsuchiura Ryotaro continued.

"That's right..."

Planning to leave immediately to go to Class 1 Classroom, Hino Kahoko wanted to go out, but she turned her eyes and finally noticed that she didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, but crumpled her eyes tightly at the paper in Kanazawa Hiroto's hand. Yue Senlian with eyebrows asked curiously,

"Tsukimori-kun? Is there something wrong?"

Yue Senlian, whose name was suddenly called, froze for a moment, then shook her head.

"You're going to find Shi... Chuan Ling-san, right? I'll go with you."

……

"……Eh?!"

The footsteps she stepped out suddenly stopped, and Hino Kahoko screamed in surprise.

……

After wasting a lot of time, Hiroto Kanazawa was finally the only one left in the conference room.

He casually took out a cigarette from his coat pocket, and just about to light it, he suddenly realized that this was the teaching building, and put the cigarette back in his pocket resentfully.

……

"Ishikawa Rei, Shinmune Tetsu. So it's those two children..."

Low-pitched murmurs, with a tone that seems to be suddenly understood.

……
