When Shangzi came over, the concert was about to start.
She was slightly stunned when she saw Morimi sitting with Naruse and Takigawa Hikaru.
"Yeye is here too."
"Naoko." Morimi greeted, "I'm here to see my cousin."
"Kono-kun? So she joined Nan High School's wind band?"
"Shangzi still remembers her."
"After all, we were in the same class in Form One."
Naoko smiled and sat down in the empty seat next to Naruse, "Speaking of which, why are you sitting here?"
She looked ahead and saw that there were still many free spaces.
"We are accommodating Kazuha." Hikari Takigawa smiled at her, and Naoko then noticed that she had been holding Morimi's arm.
The situation between the two of them seems not quite right.
"What's wrong?"
Naruse shook his head and looked at the stage, "Guang made a joke when he came over just now, which scared her."
"Forgive me, Kazuha." Hikaru Takigawa shook Morimi again, "I'm going to treat you tonight, let's go eat something delicious."
"Shh." Morimi remained unmoved, "The concert is about to begin."
"..."
Takigawa Hikaru looked at Naruse again, and after he noticed it, he just told her with his eyes that he would solve the trouble he caused.
Shangzi looked at the three of them without thinking too much, and quickly shifted his attention to the bottom.
There was no one on the stage and the lights were dimmed. There were only folding chairs, music stands and some large musical instruments.
As the lights slowly turned on, the host's voice was transmitted to everyone's ears through the speakers around the concert hall.
"The fifth regular joint concert of Tsuzena University Wind Band and Tsuzenan South University Wind Band is now opening——
First of all, I would like to invite Mr. Tai Nishi, the consultant of the club guidance department of the former university..."
After the host introduced, a middle-aged teacher Naruse looked familiar from a distance walked out from the side.
In the next ten minutes, he introduced to the audience the historical origins of the joint concert held by the wind bands of the two schools, then reviewed the grand occasion of last year, and finally gave his blessings to this concert. After a long opening, the members of the two high school wind clubs finally took the stage.
"Where is Kazuha's cousin?" Naruse heard Hikaru Takigawa ask in a low voice.
"She plays the oboe..." She was a little far away, so Morimi looked at her for a while before confirming, "The sixth girl from the right to the left."
He also looked around quietly and confirmed that he did not know the other person.
As people on the stage took their seats one after another, the first piece of music soon started playing.
"Night on the Galaxy Railroad..."
Naruse quickly heard the music and noticed that only half of the people on the stage were playing, while the other half were just listening.
After one piece of music was played, they started playing another piece of music in a relay manner.
It seems that this is the so-called joint performance form. Naruse thought that it might be difficult for two bands that do not usually practice together to play together.
Just as he was thinking about it, Shangzi leaned into his ear and said, "Is this a song from Frozen?"
"Well, Letitgo."
"What a great performance."
"What they can show on this kind of stage must be what they are best at."
Morijian tilted his head slightly, looked at the two of them through the gap not covered by his glasses, and then looked down.
One song after another, the two wind bands sitting together played one after another. The whole performance will last three hours.
"Well, this one..."
"SmAp's other side of the night sky." Shangzi said softly, and then stood up.
All three people looked at her.
"What's wrong?"
"Go out for a moment..." She pointed to the exit.
Naruse quickly understood and said nothing, while Hikari Takigawa stood up and said, "I'll go with Naoko."
"Okay."
After leaving his seat, Naoko looked at the two people who were still there, and then left the concert hall through the back exit with Hikaru Takigawa.
The performance on the field continues.
"I'm a little tired." Morimi said suddenly.
Naruse glanced at her, "Is listening to concerts more tiring than studying?"
"No, that's not how it feels."
She held the seat in front of her with both hands and stretched.
"Watching them keep playing, I would put myself into their place, and then I would feel tired - I also tried to explore some interests in wind music before, but I couldn't persist at all."
"Really?" This was the first time Naruse heard that she was interested in music.
"About when I was in middle school, I went to my cousin's house and tried to play her oboe, but I almost fainted from lack of oxygen..."
Thinking of that memory, Morimi couldn't help but shook his head.
"It feels like I'm running a marathon with my lips."
Hearing her strange metaphor, Naruse smiled.
"The oboe is really strenuous for those who are new to it. I also tried it when I was in Tokyo."
Mori looked over and asked, "Has Naruse tried it?"
"That time, my mother took me to meet some friends in the wind band. I tried various instruments... In terms of feeling, percussion instruments may be more suitable for me."
She also laughed and was thoughtful.
"Naruse."
"Yeah."
"When you are in Tokyo...do you often see famous artists?"
"Almost."
Naruse leaned back and said, "Whether I'm following my mother or the two artist stepfathers, when I occasionally attend some occasions, the people who come are all people from their circles. It doesn't matter whether they are famous or not." Morimi also leaned back and turned to look at him: "There is another world that is unimaginable."
"It's not that exaggerated... Artists are also human beings, they just stand out in their fields, and they still act like normal people."
"Only someone like Naruse who has been in the artist's circle for a long time can say something like this - if you have never experienced that kind of environment, even if you say this, it will still be unimaginable." p>
Naruse smiled and said nothing more.
As soon as one song was played on the stage, another one started.
During the alternation, Naruse suddenly discovered that this form of taking turns to play also has an advantage: you can take a short break and adjust your state while the other party is playing.
Mori Jian stared down at the side for a while, but he didn't think so much, and looked over again unconsciously.
Staring at his profile, her gaze moved inch by inch, like a paintbrush, tracing up and down his eyes, the bridge of his nose and his lips.
"Naruse..."
When he looked over, she realized that she had made a sound, and while maintaining calmness, she looked away.
"You're pretty good-looking."
"...What did you say suddenly?"
"I mean..." She looked over again, "Hasn't Naruse thought about debuting, especially in the previous environment?"
"It's just because I've been in that kind of environment, so I have no interest."
Morimi looked at him for a while, "Does Miss Matsu feel the same way?"
"My mother? She asked once, and I said I wasn't interested, and I never mentioned it again. When anyone else mentioned it, she would directly refuse it for me," Naruse said.
"That's it..."
She smiled and said, "I always feel like it's a waste of such a beautiful face."
"Morimi is also very good-looking, isn't he always 'wasting' on studying?"
The corners of her mouth curved, "Naruse really thinks so."
He looked at the heads of other spectators below and said, "Anyone you pick up will probably say this."
"Naruse used to say that I was inconspicuous at all. Even if I was lying on the deserted snow, no one would notice me."
"When did that all happen..."
Naruse paused and turned to look at her, "Have I ever gone so far before?"
"Yes." Morimi nodded, "I remember it all."
"It's too much...I really hold a grudge."
"I remember a lot of things. For example, Naruse said he wanted to marry Haixing, and Naoko cried at that time."
"...Okay, no need to help me remember this." Naruse looked away.
"It's terrible... how much other people's dark history have you secretly mastered?"
"Are you sneaking around? It's obviously something that everyone has experienced together." Reading 溂
"How many years have passed, who will still remember."
Morimi smiled silently.
"That is my treasure...I will never forget it."
Naruse said nothing, but looked at her again.
"Speaking of which, does Naruse still remember what happened that day before leaving Jin?"
"Remember something. What's wrong?"
"Then do you still remember who saw you off that day?"
Naruse thought for a while.
"Shangzi, Sister Guang and Yue... It seems that Haixing is also here, although it is far away."
"Actually, I went there that day," Morimi said.
Naruse was silent for a moment, "If I had noticed Morimi at that time, then I would definitely remember it."
"I knew it."
She sneered, "I also prepared a farewell gift."
"What gift... were you given to me?"
"Because Naruse never saw me, I didn't send him out."
"...Then what else is there to say."
"I just suddenly remembered. That gift is still there..."
Morimi suddenly stopped mid-sentence and turned to look at the stage below.
"What?"
Naruse turned his head, and before he could speak, he saw Naoko and Hikaru Takigawa walking over from the other side.
As if she had read through his inner thoughts, she smiled covertly and quickly, and then looked straight ahead.
"Let's talk about it when we have the opportunity in the future. I don't want to be stared at by Shangzi all the time."
