[Comprehensive] Escape from shame is useless

After three days of verification, after confirming that her hand has completely healed, Jasmine finally let go of her last doubts, agreed to Duzhu's invitation, and decided to participate in Xingzuo's New Year's Eve concert this year.But I regretted it within 2 minutes after I promised...

God knows that the stage of the performance turned out to be Yokohama Stadium!

Damn, that's an audience of 7000 people!Just thinking about it makes my legs weak!

"Is it too late for me to quit now...?"

Du Zhu and Ueno held her shoulders from left to right, and said in unison: "Once you get on this pirate ship, don't even think about going down!"

You also know that this is a thief ship!

Well, forget it, she agreed to everything, and she didn't really want to go back on her word.

After all, even she wants the stage of "Heimu Jasmine to return to the classical music circle" to be as big as possible, so that all those who bullied her, those who slandered her, and the media that distorted the facts all know that she Not only was he not defeated by them, but he was reborn from the ashes with a more perfect posture!

After deciding on the track "Red Lotus Root", the collaborative practice with the orchestra began.

It is completely different from the feeling of catching ducks to the shelves last time. Sitting in the music classroom, listening to the conductor explaining phrase by phrase, conveying the sound and rhythm I need to others, and improving myself with their suggestions playing.This feeling of being really involved, this feeling of everyone working on the same piece of music, makes her more passionate than ever.

It's like going back to the time when I just started learning music, except eating and sleeping every day, I can't wait to spend all my time on the violin.Lie down in the piano room when you are tired, and continue playing when you wake up.Every day, the band practice didn't end until 8 pm. After returning home, she continued to practice alone.She was so crazy that she forgot everything around her. If Yuno hadn't picked her out to eat on time every day, and kicked her back to her room to sleep when it was time, she would have done such a crap thing as not sleeping for three days.

——It’s not like I haven’t done it before.

So, after finally making it to the weekend, the orchestra had a day off for practice, and Jasmine finally found time to do something she should have done a long time ago but couldn't find the opportunity to do it—to meet her teacher Kazama.

I haven't seen her for many years. Although she often pays attention to the teacher's various activities and sneaks to watch, she still dare not appear in front of the teacher.In front of the old man who was strict but always loved her and placed high hopes on her, she, who almost gave up music because of that incident, couldn't hold her head up at all.

Although I have made up my mind to start again now, who knows if the teacher would have already disowned her?Will the title of teacher not even be allowed?After all, that is Mrs. Kazama. For someone who values ​​reputation so much, she probably has already become notorious in the classical music circle.Would the teacher... act as if she had never been taught?

She thought too much and didn't sleep well all night. In order to refresh her mind, she decided to take a shower before going out.

This time she was just going to give away tickets to the New Year's Eve concert, so she had to tell the teacher her determination, even if he said it had nothing to do with him, it didn't matter.You must express your sincerity and invite the teacher to listen to her performance. As long as he listens to her performance, he will definitely understand that her attitude towards music has not changed!

Because she was thinking about the teacher all the time, Jasmine also forgot to wrap her hair with a dry hair cap and walked out of the bathroom, her long hair was hanging wet behind her, she still didn't notice it.While thinking about what clothes to wear later, he was also thinking about how to speak when he saw the teacher.Walked through the living room as if nothing had happened, and when he reached the door of his room, he held the doorknob with both hands before he suddenly realized——

Hmm, within sight just now... there seems to be a red thing with a particularly strong sense of presence?

Turning his head slowly, he saw the red owner leaning back, his right hand hanging comfortably on the back of the sofa, tilting his head at her very casually.Seeing that she noticed his existence, she blinked innocently, and then again.

Good, so cute!

God, how can he be so cute and want to scream!Ten thousand times cuter than her favorite bear!

No, no, calm down, Jasmine, Zhengjun doesn’t like others saying he’s cute, so don’t blurt it out, he might get angry!Cocococo, he is so cute, what should I do? I'm dying...

So Akashi, who wanted to wait and see how long it would take for Jasmine to discover his existence, waited speechlessly, and for some reason, Jasmine suddenly covered her mouth when she saw him.

What is this strange reaction?

For a while, no one spoke.

What broke the weird stare between the two was the almost inaudible sound of dripping water.Water drops slid down Jasmine's long hair on the back, and landed on the ground with a "pop".Akashi let go of his doubts first, went to the drawer to get the hair dryer, bent down to plug in the power, turned around in front of the sofa, and extended his hand to Jasmine:

"come over."

With a commanding tone, the voice was as soft as a willow branch, wrapping around her heart, making it tremble slightly.Some kind of passionate emotion spewed out, instantly burning everything that was still in my mind just now, and suddenly fell into a blank.I could only stare blankly into his eyes, unable to move away.

Once again, the body ignored the chaotic mind and moved first.Jasmine, who was too cute to walk just now, obediently moved over, and sat down beside him with his hand, not even knowing when she put down her hand covering her mouth.

In the extraordinarily quiet living room, nothing can be heard except the roar of the hair dryer.The windows were slits open, the curtains were raised and lowered slightly by the breeze, the panda magnets on the refrigerator were in a strange "long live" pose, the TV cabinet was spotless, the books Yuno placed on the coffee table, and The glass next to it still contains a small glass of water.

Jasmine also knelt on the sofa silently, behind her was the comfortable heat and regular humming, and the man's hand touching her long hair when she almost fell asleep.Tranquility and restlessness, relaxation and tension are constantly intertwined, making her always in fear while enjoying the warmth.

He lifted a strand of hair, and the hair on the skin that wasn't covered by the hair stood up due to the cold, and returned to its original state under the comfort of the hot wind in the next second.Let go of this strand, pick up another strand, and repeat, endlessly.

Jasmine also felt that all her nerves were concentrated on the skin covered by the hair at this moment. She could even fill in her mind from what angle and what kind of movements he touched her hair without looking. .She desperately tried to restrain her body's reaction, but even if she clenched the edge of her nightgown tightly and curled up her toes, she still couldn't control these self-assertive pores.

So much so that when his fingertips accidentally touched her back, Jasmine also trembled exaggeratedly.

Aware of her movement, Akashi moved the hair dryer a little away, as if afraid that she would not be able to hear his voice, and asked close to her ear, "Is it cold?"

The hot air sprayed into her ears, almost igniting all the blood in her body, not to mention the cold, she felt like she was going to explode now.Even so, the cold was more reassuring than shaking from his touch.

Not knowing that she had already blushed to the point that her ears were bloodshot, Jasmine also nodded her head.

Akashi kissed her ear through the thin layer of hair, "It's almost over."

After that, he continued to dry her hair in a serious manner, causing Jasmine, who was on the verge of becoming angry, to swallow her anger back.

After an unknown amount of time, the humming sound of the hair dryer suddenly disappeared, and the eardrums were still unable to adapt to the suddenly quiet air, and they went on their own to capture the sounds that were not usually noticeable.Such as the collision of metal and glass, the friction between cloth and cloth, the static electricity between wool and coral fleece, and...

"Already, is it ready?"

"not yet."

The hands around her waist easily pulled her back a little, and Jasmine also fell backwards unsteadily, and her whole body fell into his embrace.The beating of the man's chest, against her back, slowly merged with her heartbeat into the same melody.

The unfettered legs curled up naturally, naked and white, and the long legs of the man leaning on the back of the sofa were half-curved. The black trousers had a strong visual contrast with her skin, making her a little dazed.

The too slender skin behind her hadn't had time to withdraw her senses, and she was keenly aware that the hair was lifted up again, and the fiery kiss fell on her butterfly bone, and even the skin felt like it was being sucked.

"Zheng...Zhengjun?!" The hairs all over her body exploded.

"The water on your body is not completely dry yet." He said so confidently, he brushed all the hair that was in the way to the other side, and continued to kiss along her shoulder line, inserting his four fingers into the straps of her pajamas and her shoulders. In the middle, pull it out.

Jasmine was also dizzy from his kiss, but this special action still woke her up suddenly.

"Wait, let me go, no, there are still things to do today."

No, no, no, if you continue to do this, you will not be able to do anything today. Hold on to your resistance!

Akashi didn't stop, but changed his way, kissing passionately on her neck and sticking to the base of her ear.

"That's why you didn't answer my emails or answer my calls for three days? Eh? Jasmine too?"

The low, hoarse voice was nasal, and it almost pierced through all her defenses at once.

Ah, so to speak, she really hasn't checked her mobile phone for three days because she is addicted to practice.

He must be worried about her, so he ran from Kyoto to Kanagawa early in the morning, right?

I feel guilty, but today she...

Sensing her wavering, Akashi lowered his voice with ulterior motives, and gave her the final blow when she turned her head to look over.

"I miss you."

Unfortunately, this sentence played a role that was completely contrary to expectations.

Jasmine's almost boiling blood subtly calmed down after these words, her passion was gradually replaced by a tender feeling, and her mind, which was almost completely overwhelmed by desire just now, returned to calm.Jasmine also turned sideways and took the initiative to hug Akashi's neck, rubbing his side face affectionately.

"I miss you too, and I don't want to be separated from you. So go with me today, and go to the teacher together."

Akashi: ...Did you choose the wrong option just now?

No matter how dissatisfied Akashi was with this development, Jasmine, who was able to go out with the two of him again after a few months, was extremely happy.In order to match Akashi's white turtleneck sweater, black trousers and gray woolen coat, she also chose a gray skirt and paired it with a red wool scarf, which is warm and energetic.

Of course, everyone knows why she chose this color scarf.For its sake, Akashi's ugly face, which was visible to the naked eye, finally eased down.

The place they are going to is the largest church in Tokyo, where a small charity concert was held today, Kazama will attend as one of the organizers.In fact, there was no need to go out so early, but Jasmine also wanted to listen to the performance by the way. Anyway, places like churches are usually free of charge, as long as they can keep quiet, passers-by are very welcome.

Along the way, Jasmine also talked endlessly about what happened at school recently, such as her participation in the New Year's Eve concert, and the matter of Kazuya Matsuoka who "spouted anger".Regarding the existence of the latter, Akashi actually knew about it when Yuno checked the list of contestants that year with him.But Yuno told her to handle it, so he didn't care anymore.

"What time is the concert?"

"At 12 pm on December 31st, we prepared 6 songs, plus the intermission, it should end at 3:7. The minister said that at 8 o'clock, the school booked a nearby hotel for a celebration dance."

"okay, I get it."

After talking about happy things, as the church got closer, Jasmine became more and more nervous, and the hand holding his arm even trembled.

"Zhengjun, do you think the teacher will pretend not to know me?"

"how could be?"

"Zhengjun, do you think the teacher will be disappointed with me?"

"Will not."

"Zhengjun, if the teacher scolds me later, you must speak for me!"

"it is good."

Because of the subtle narrow-mindedness of being interrupted by something good, Akashi kept the fact that Kazama-sensei had been paying attention to her to death.Seeing that Jasmine is also in a mess here, the irritability and unhappiness caused by his choice of the wrong option finally dissipated slowly.

So Jasmine also hid in a corner and listened to the whole charity concert. She plucked up the courage to bite the bullet and say hello to the teacher. When she said that she would invite him to the concert where she was performing, she unexpectedly got a girl who was so moved that she hugged her and cried bitterly. The old man who snot.

"It scared me to death. I thought teacher, you hated me so much that you cried when you saw me..."

After finally waiting for the wind to calm down, Jasmine performed a head iron on the spot, and then suffered a brain collapse as a matter of course.

"What nonsense are you talking about?! Who do you think my old man is, who would hate you because of such gossip? You are my disciple, don't I know what kind of person you are better than anyone else?"

"Teacher Kazama..." If I had known, if I had known that the teacher thought this way, she shouldn't have avoided seeing her for so many years.

That's right, since her first day of entry, Kazama-sensei has been carefully guiding her, never bothering her in every detail.When she started to be distracted by other things, it was also Kazama-sensei who earnestly advised her.After that competition, he even supported her regardless of his own reputation, and he did not remove her from the list of disciples despite all the pressure from the outside world.

she...

Tears soaked her eyes, and Jasmine wiped her cuffs carelessly, stood up suddenly, and ran to the orchestra to borrow a violin.

There are so many things I want to say to my teacher, I want to tell him about my troubles and gains during this period, and I want to tell him that I am determined.

I want to apologize, for wasting my time for so many years, and for the daunting self.

I want to thank my teacher for his white hair and for the days and nights he has been worrying about her for.

But what I want him to know the most is this——

She did not give up the violin, although it was extremely difficult, she persisted.

Can't wait for next month, she wants to tell the teacher now, immediately, immediately, her music is still there, her life is still there!

"This song is for you."

The extremely gentle music sounds like weeping and complaining, singing the pain of life, but also singing the splendor of life.

Whether it was the members of the orchestra who were packing up their instruments or the audience who hadn't left in the church, they all stopped at the same moment and looked quietly at the petite figure below the stage.

The midday sun penetrates the stained glass of the church, projecting a divine image in front of her.The girl closed her eyes lightly, stepped on the clouds and mist, and played a song of heaven behind the angels playing the trumpets, with their backs to the solemn altar.

Injecting all the overflowing emotions and venting them through the collision of the strings and the bow, Jasmine also put down the piano and opened her eyes again.I saw the crowd that had gathered at some point, saw the front of the crowd, Akashi with a gentle smile, and Kazama with tears streaming down his face again.

In the still silent church, she followed the picture of the kingdom of heaven and walked back to the two of them step by step.

"Teacher, I'm still alive... from now on, I'll always be alive."

"Okay, okay..."

The cheers all over the sky overwhelmed the old man's gratifying response, but it did not affect the reconnected hearts at this moment.

After all, for musicians, they have already finished everything with music.

After finally getting rid of the exceptionally enthusiastic audience, after sending Kazama-sensei to the car home, Jasmine threw herself into Akashi's arms as if she had lost all strength.

"Ah, Zhengjun, how can I be so happy! The teacher is not angry at all, people who don't know are willing to like my music, I have died without regret!"

"Is that all you pursue? Just now you said that you will live forever and die so soon without regret?" He rubbed her head amusedly, and the fluffy touch kept him lingering as always.

"That's not true." Jasmine also distanced herself a bit, and made a declaration with her hips on her hips: "I will be a world-class musician in the future!"

After finishing her rhetoric, she rubbed back into Akashi's arms, and said shyly and viscously:

"Actually, I didn't finish what I just said."

"Which one?"

"It's the sentence that I will live forever." She put her hand into his coat and hugged his waist only through the sweater, her heart was so warm.

"Well, I understand." Akashi still announced the answer directly before she had time to ask the question as before.He held Jasmine's side face in his hands, and saw his shadow clearly in those grassy eyes, then lifted her chin, and kissed her vows.

——I will live with you forever.

The author has something to say: Even Akashi Seijuro, in the absence of experience, still can't figure out what he said wrong today.

Yukimura: I know, do you want me to teach you?

Yuno: Don't make random assists!
