[Net King] July Hokkaido

Time flies, two full months have passed since the summer vacation, the heat of summer has been replaced by the coolness of autumn, the tender green of Tokyo has faded, and dry branches are exposed, and the closet is full of down jackets and sweaters to welcome the arrival of winter and scarves.The voices of people discussing the group of teenagers can still be heard from time to time.

Eri Kawakami returned to China at the beginning of the second semester, but she never came to school because of family matters.

Every day is the same as before, going to class, leaving school, participating in club activities, making occasional phone calls with Yushi, going shopping with Aki on weekends, or picking out favorite sportswear with my brother, and the family will have dinner together in the evening.

The life is dull and appropriate, without their existence, it seems to have become a lot more monotonous.

When Pian Wuliang was lying on the window, he would often think so.

"Kagiri-san, there's a concert next week, and it's a competition with other high schools in the city, let's work hard."

When I first came to the classroom to do some homework, I heard Suzuki Mochizuki say so encouragingly.

"Okay, Suzuki-senpai."

The girl nodded to her with a smile, and said the same words of encouragement to the students who came in behind.

When almost everyone was there, Suzuki stood on the podium, slapped the table with excitement and said, "In order to welcome the concert next week and to inspire everyone, we..."

The girl paused on purpose, and looked at the expressions of dissatisfaction and anticipation on the faces of everyone in the audience with satisfaction. After a few seconds, she lowered her voice and said, "So, the legendary head of our music department is coming back to cheer for everyone. "

As soon as the words fell, there was a rumbling noise from the audience.

"Hey, is it true or not, Eri Kawakami-senpai is coming back?"

"Is that the piano princess who has always been famous in Ice Emperor, Kawakami Eri?"

"It's impolite to keep calling seniors by their names, this guy..."

"Well, I'm not too surprised."

"I heard that Kawakami-senpai has been competing abroad before, and she just came back recently."

"soga~ you're really amazing..."

……

"Minister Kawakami will be back tomorrow, so everyone cheers!"

"Yes!"

The atmosphere of the crowd rose instantly.

After school, Ryo Katagiri and Aki Atobe went home together. The two first went to the sundae shop in front of the school to eat ice cream. There were a lot of people in the shop at this time. Mottled light and shadows fell on his youthful face.While eating the sundaes in their hands, they chatted and laughed loudly and crisply.

"Hey, Xiaoliang, did you hear that Kawakami-senpai is coming back tomorrow?"

Pian Wuliang paused for a few seconds, then put the ice cream into his mouth, and responded vaguely.

"Um……"

With unconcealable excitement and excitement on Yaji's face, he simply stopped eating and started dancing.

"Xiaoliang, do I know that Kawakami-senpai is super powerful. Not only is she good-looking, gentle and friendly, she is also the jewel in the palm of the Kawakami family, a famous piano princess in Tokyo."

"Besides, her home economics class is also super good, and Xiao Liang's home economics is also very good. You are simply my idols."

"Last year's Valentine's Day chocolate voting, the girl with the highest number of votes was Kawakami-senpai."

……

Pian Wuliang quietly listened to the girl's chatter, and made a few echoes from time to time.The other party seemed to be belatedly aware that he had said a lot, stuck out his tongue and apologized with embarrassment: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry Xiaoliang, I talked so much without realizing it...but Kawakami-senpai is really amazing."

Pian Wuliang looked at the sparkle in the girl's eyes, and smiled helplessly, "I know Kawakami-senpai is very good."

Seeing that the girl was about to start talking again, Pian Wuliang hurriedly stopped her, "Yaji, if you don't eat ice cream, it will melt."

"Ahhhh - my ice cream..."

On the way back, Pian Wuliang stood against the light with his hands behind his back, and asked the girl behind him softly.

"Hey, Aki."

"Um?"

"If one day you find that I am not as good as you imagined, will you still choose to be friends with me?"

"Ah? Why did you say that suddenly? It's not like what Xiaoliang would say at all."

"Well, let's make a hypothesis."

"Of course it will. Xiaoliang is Xiaoliang. No matter what it is, the person I choose to be my friend is you."

"...Hey, that's great..."

"Xiao Liang, you've been acting weird all day. Ever since you heard the news that Kawakami-senpai will be back, you've been depressed. Could it be..." The girl paused for a few seconds, with a look of astonishment on her face. Shouting loudly, the passers-by were startled.

"Could you be jealous because Yuuji had a good time with Kawakami-senpai before?"

"..."

??

"Ah, ah, ah, although it was rumored that Yushi liked Kawakami-senpai before, it was also in the past, and it was all the students talking nonsense... It's over, I slipped my mouth..."

"..."

Pian Wuliang watched the girl cover her mouth in fright, looking helplessly at the sky and melancholy.

Well, I heard it all...

What an incredible news.

But I really can't see it at all.

Pian Wuliang thought in his heart.

The girl dangled beside her, frantically explaining the untrue things about the rumors, Katagiri listened with a smile on her face.

At that time, the setting sun fell on the backs of the two of them, which was cozy and warm.

Autumn, what a worry.

-

Probably because of the fact that Erika Kawakami was going back to school, the whole high school was very excited the next day. Even in the middle school, many people gathered around the entrance of the music department as soon as school was over, stretching their necks to look in.

However, the other party did not arrive as scheduled, and everyone had to return angrily.

Today it was Pian Wuliang's turn to be on duty, so she asked Yaji to go back first, and when she finished taking out the trash and went back, it was already dusk, and there was only the last ray of light left in the sky.She packed up her things and was about to go back, when she was passing by the club building, she heard the faint sound of a piano.

She paused, and subconsciously looked towards the dark room on the top floor.

The corridor was silent, only slight footsteps could be heard, and her heartbeat accelerated due to nervousness.

As the distance drew closer, the sound of the piano became more and more clear, and finally she slowly stopped in front of the music classroom.

The sound of the piano poured out, sad and gentle, lingering in this silent space.

She stood outside the door for a while, and then stretched out her hand to open the door, and the sound of the piano in the room stopped abruptly.

The afterglow enveloped the whole room, the man slowly raised his head from behind the piano, his face was caught in the flickering light and shadow, his eyes were clear and warm, reflecting the orange night outside the window.
