sounds of nature

Playing music is also physical work.

It is common to spend half an hour, an hour or even longer to play a complete piece of music.

Therefore, most qualified performers actually have good stamina no less than that of sports enthusiasts—ninefold chords can only be regarded as mediocre ones in this ranks.

But anyway, it was enough to support her to complete a song before she was discouraged.

Being half-supported and half-full by Tiangong Qinglai, he was brought back to the backstage. In the eyes of everyone, the nine-fold chord was pale, sweat was seeping from the corner of his forehead, and the left arm that was hanging down to one side was covered with white gauze.

"Heyin—" Everyone gathered around one after another, not knowing whether she was unconscious or awake at the moment.

"..." Headache, hands ache, head dizzy for a while, and the surroundings are still chattering, so noisy.Heyin leaned against the person who brought her off the dazzling stage, and unconsciously rubbed her face into his arms.

Don't even talk!Let her be quiet and slowly first...

"--elder sister?"

"Well... don't make noise, it hurts..."

"..." The surroundings suddenly became quieter, and it was Tiangong Qinglai who hugged Heyin and sat down on a chair beside her.She leaned on the back of the seat, opened her eyes slightly, and could only vaguely see the tall and handsome red-haired boy talking to a crowd of people, and then he came back to her with a towel and a water glass.

"Come and drink some water." He handed the water glass to her mouth, and Heyin bowed his head obediently and took a sip.The weird taste of salty and sweet made her frown slightly, but knowing that it was something that could quickly restore blood sugar, Heyin still endured and sipped the water in the glass in small sips.

In fact, her dizziness was only temporary, after Tiangong Qinglai took her away from the light and sat down, she felt much better.Coupled with the hand injury that reminded her of the tearing pain from time to time, Heyin couldn't faint even if she wanted to.

Blinking his eyes, he felt that his younger brother was really wiping off his cold sweat with a warm towel, and he was the only one around, and He Yin said, "Qing Lai..."

"Huh?" The boy responded quickly, "How do you feel?"

"It's okay...it's just a pain in the hand." Heyin replied, and this guy just started to be dishonest, turned sideways and wanted to raise his arm in front of his eyes to see what happened, "Is my hand bleeding out already?" ?” Why does it feel so cold that you are almost unconscious.

Tiangong Qinglai quickly stopped her, and gave a rare stern stare. "Don't move around." The usually good-tempered boy had an obvious haze on his gentle and handsome face. "I've heard what happened, sister, you really don't care about your body. Not to mention that ordinary people know how to protect themselves from harm. As a music student, shouldn't you take good care of your hands? ?"

Teach her a lesson as soon as she comes back... She still has a lot to say to him when they meet again!Now, forget it!Probably because he also knew that he had done something wrong. Facing Tiangong Qinglai's rare anger, Heyin just frowned and didn't say a word.

At this time, the other people who had been paying attention to their side, seeing that the two could start a conversation, came over one after another to ask about He Yin's situation.

"Is Harmony okay?"

"Oh, I was scared to death by you just now! But, the performance is really great!"

"...Yeah, you guys are really unexpected."

Heyin raised his face and smiled at them, found the figure of Tsuchiura Ryotaro, and joked, "Hey, I'm sorry for stealing your limelight at the last moment, Tsuchiura-kun."

Tsuchiura Liangtaro said unhappily: "What are you talking about! You should be doing this..." He should have thought about it a long time ago. Since his mother is a famous pianist and his younger brother's piano is so good, as his elder sister's nine-fold chord, there is such a thing. The level should be too.However, there is a harp, a piano, and a violin. How much time does this guy spend practicing every day? !

……

With the last performance of the nine-fold chord as the end, this twists and turns of the music competition came to an end.The audience is leaving the seat, accompanied by various excited discussions and admiration.

Mr. Kanazawa, who finished handling the remaining matters, returned to the backstage and found that more than half of the people were missing, only Zhishui, Donghai, and Yuki were left. He let out a surprise. "all gone?"

"...Aren't we still there?" Putting the flute back in the box, Yuki Azuma replied with a smile on his face, "Tiangong-kun said that he would take Jiuzhong to re-bandage the hand injury, so Yuesen-kun and his parents They also left together."

"Oh, Hino and Tsuchiura are gone too?"

"The two of them said they wanted to find some people..."

"Looking for someone?" A look of surprise flashed in Jin Zehong's eyes, and he asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Kazuki Hibara thought for a while, and said, "It seems to be some people who had an argument with Tsukimori before... Hino said it."

Jin Zehong frowned, and Huo Yuan continued: "Speaking of which, Lao Jin... this injury—"

"Well, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to be selfish!" He nodded, and then groaned with a headache, "Didn't you see the scary eyes of Kunou's brother just now, if you take a casual attitude towards this matter..." That kid will definitely go crazy!

Tsk tsk, I really didn't see that Tiangong Qinglai, who has always presented such a gentle and harmless image, would show such a completely different attitude after hearing them explain the accident that happened to Jiuzhong Heyin and Yuesenlian.

"Since Mr. Kanazawa said that he will give us an explanation, then I will leave this matter to you to find out. However, if the school cannot punish those who committed such bad things, then I will solve this matter myself."

"Hehe, yes!" Yuzuki Azuma seemed to think of something funny, squinted his eyes and smiled, "Tiangong-kun and Kunou-san are in a good relationship, and it is reasonable to do so." In front of that slightly reckless person The girl's face was a severe lesson, but when she looked at her, she showed such distressed eyes.Especially when he rushed to the scene as if in a hurry, but saw He Yin playing on the field with a cold and stubborn face with a hurt face, his expression was instantly moved.

Recalling the news that the nine-fold chord was the adopted daughter of the Tiangong family during the last sleepover, Yuki Azuma let out a meaningful oh.It seems that I found something interesting...

******

"Oops, this hand will be crippled for more than half a month before it can recover freely." Coming out of the hospital near Xingzuo, Jiuzhong Heyin looked at his arm wrapped like a bandage weirdo, and said, "Is it too wrapped? Exaggerated?"

"How dare you say that!" Tiangong Qinglai, who accompanied the whole process from cleaning to applying medicine to bandaging, said angrily, "This is not a minor injury from scratching the skin. The doctor said that some barbs from sawdust penetrated deep into the dermis. Even if it gets better in the future, it will probably leave a scar."

Harmony shrugged, but it didn't matter. "That doesn't matter...it's just that I can't practice the piano during this time."

Tiangong Qinglai glanced at her, "So you have to admit that you were really reckless this time! The gain outweighs the loss..."

Seeing that there was nothing serious about Heyin, the Yuesen family went back first.Before leaving, Yue Senlian thanked her very solemnly, but the next sentence was similar to Tiangong Qinglai's exhortation, telling her not to do things recklessly in the future.

At this moment, there were only the two of them left, and they were told by Misa Hamai to go home early, and they walked slowly towards Tiangong's house.

"The harp has already called Housekeeper Kawashima to get it back."

"……Um."

Harmony's answer was surprisingly short, Tiangong Qinglai paused, and said: "Don't worry, Mom knows a master who repairs musical instruments with good craftsmanship, and the harp will be repaired."

"……Um."

"harmony……"

"It doesn't matter whether it's big or small, I want to call you sister."

After being reprimanded lightly, Tiangong Qinglai pursed her lips and said softly: "...What are you thinking?"

Ninefold Harmony, who had changed back to her school uniform a long time ago, slightly lowered her head to look at the jacket on her right arm, and after a while, said, "I'm reflecting."

"..."

"Didn't you all say that I was wrong, so I am reflecting on myself right now."

Her tone was calm and normal, and she didn't sound like irony.But Tiangong Qinglai suddenly sighed, and when Heyin looked at him incomprehensibly, he pulled her into a park not far from home, and pushed her to sit on an unoccupied bench.He said: "Come on, you can tell me what is unhappy in your heart now, and you can vent your emotions in any way you want. When you go home later, you don't have to pretend to be okay when you are clearly unhappy."

Heyin was stunned, and looked at the young man who was calmly speaking inconceivable words. "Qing Lai...?"

Tiangong Qinglai sat down beside her, looking straight at a fountain in the distance. "Actually, I don't want to say it out loud, but seeing my sister, you always pretend you don't care about anything, and you look the same when you're happy or unhappy, I feel very uncomfortable!"

"...What are you talking about?" Ninefold Harmony didn't understand what was going on with the conversation that suddenly changed the atmosphere.

Tiangong Qinglai turned to look at her, a trace of inexplicable emotion flashed in the boy's beautiful black eyes. "Although it's a bit unreasonable to say this, I still hope that my sister can show me any true thoughts you have, and you don't have to pretend that nothing is wrong!"

"What, I didn't pretend!"

Tiangong Qinglai supported her head, and looked at her with half of her face turned sideways. "I always remember that when you first came home and you were not sent to your grandmother, you would secretly hide in the corner of the bed and cry for several nights. In order not to wake me up, you even covered your head with a quilt..." He narrated lightly, as if recalling an ordinary past.

Because there was no time to prepare a single room for the adopted child in the beginning, and because he was still young anyway, when Heyin first came to Tiangong's house, he slept with Tiangong Qinglai at night.Who said that children don't remember things and sleep deeply?The little movements she thought she would not be noticed, in fact, the little Tiangong Qinglai knew about it at that time.

At that time, I didn't understand why, why the little girl who smiled sweetly and happily during the day would cry at night.Then, as she grew older and understood more things, the doubts she had when she was young had to be resolved—at a young age, she knew how to fake emotions at that time.

"..." Heyin maintained a frowning expression and remained silent for a long while before saying, "So, what do you want to do, young master?"

"..." The young man sighed in frustration, and finally made up his mind not to cooperate with her and pretend to be stupid, but he didn't expect that the degree of stubbornness of this guy was far beyond imagination. "Oh, I know that you have your own ideas about everything. But, I still hope that you can tell me the truth occasionally. If you don't want your parents to know, and don't want them to worry too much, then you can at least tell me! "

He Yin stared at Tian Gong Qing Lai who sighed and said the above words for a long time, and there was a glimmer of light in his eyes.After a while, she nodded and said, "Okay. You don't have to worry... I'll tell you."

"I'm actually not angry with anyone, although those bastards who broke my piano and locked me and A-Lian are unforgivable, but I suddenly felt that perhaps all these bad things could have been avoided earlier. "

These epiphanies come with being hurt, seeing a harp destroyed, and playing it on stage.

"...I really am a conceited fool!" She sighed, looking up at the sky with a sense of loss, "If you use Alian's clothes to wrap your hands when you hit the cabinet door, or just wait for Xiang Suizi to come to the rescue Well, maybe my hand wouldn't have hurt like this; if I had brought a few more helpers when I sensed something was wrong, Alian and I might not have been locked in the cabinet; or, earlier, if I didn't Arguing with those narrow-minded guys for quick words, not being high-profile and attracting attention, maybe, none of this will happen! My piano will not be treated like that..."

She stretched out her right hand to cover her face, "I don't say right or wrong, some hurt, in fact, I can avoid it...Is it?"

I have never seen He Yin's introspection so low that it was almost gentle. Tiangong Qinglai stretched out her arms to embrace her, and rested her chin on the girl's shoulder. "Idiot sister can have such a comprehension, it seems that it is not hopeless!"

"Hey!" He Yin said dissatisfied, "I'm making progress. I'm the only one who can call me a fool. You boy must worship your sister unconditionally. You should call your sister a wise man!" Someone burst out a black line of words.

"...Okay, my lord sister is 'wise'." No matter what, he still unconditionally compromisingly followed Tiangong Qinglai who was used to someone.

"Well, good boy!" Ninefold Heyin, who had been successfully sung, narrowed his eyes comfortably, "You didn't inform me to come back today! So I abandoned you and went to find another accompaniment..."

Tiangong Qinglai: "..." The date of return was decided by my father, and he didn't know it before.Hearing at the airport that today was her second music competition, he hurried back to school, only to see such an unexpected scene.

Even though his hand was injured, he insisted on playing, and played such a shocking effect...

"We all underestimated Heyin's perseverance before. This child, I can't usually see that her professionalism is no lower than that of me and her mother." At that time, Tiangong Qinglai heard Misa Hamai comment on the side of the stage. .

"..." Even though he always lazily refused to admit it, he always understood that she still belonged to that stage.

On this side, after thinking about some things and calming down, Harmony said that he was not without gains.At least, no one was absent from this game. Yuesenlian caught up, and she also caught up by luck, and played well! "Hey, young man, your sister, I have worked so hard, is there any reward?" Country R's specialty, delicious food, hope is already piled up on the table at home!

Tiangong Qinglai smiled, "Sister, you really are a foodie!"

"Wow, you dare to ridicule me, Master Qinglai is good at it..."

"Don't dare, just tell the truth."

"Hey, don't think I can't beat you with a hand injury!"

"Sister, have you forgotten what you just reflected on? Take care of your hands!"

"... Oh, what a pity. I still want to find out those dregs who dare to play tricks on me and break my harp and give them a good lesson!"

"I don't need you anymore, my sister just needs to recuperate and reflect deeply. I will help you solve these things."

"...Wait, Qinglai, why, I seem to hear murderous intent?"

"Hehe, no. You must have heard wrong!"

"Then what are you going to do?"

"...Don't worry, it will definitely be a satisfactory solution for everyone."

It's even more unbelievable for you to say that!How can there be any possibility of happiness in such a bad thing? !Suddenly, there was an ominous feeling that her younger brother had turned black... At the end of the day, Jiu Zhongheyin thought so.
