About the fact that I unintentionally raised my sister to be a cripple

In the banquet hall, cups and glasses were exchanged.

Various lamps are scattered at different heights, flower arrangements and tableware are stacked neatly under the shadow of tall and wide lamps.

Celebrities toasted with each other, gathered around and chatted, and many women in gorgeous clothes could be seen covering their faces and smiling softly.

The violinist pulls the bow, causing the gut strings to vibrate rhythmically. The moving fingers, the gentle swaying, the up and down rhythm, the rhythm that seems to be injected into the soul, make the symbols of music seem to be flying in the air. .

"Hmph hum~ hum hum ~ hum hum hum~~~"

At three minutes, Raku Sakakihara felt that this piece of violin was very familiar. He felt that he had heard it somewhere before, and his interest was aroused involuntarily.

He leaned over and asked Tianhai Qi Mingyue, who was drinking juice next to him, "Have you heard this piece of music?"

"Carmen Fantasia, a very classic piece."

"I remember Qi Mingyue you also had a violin in your room."

"Brother, do you want me to play the violin for you alone?"

"It's not impossible."

"Brother, it's a good idea, but it's a pity that Qi Mingyue only plays the violin for myself and my sister."

Tianhai Qimingyue picked up a small piece of cut off with a fork, put it into her small mouth, and chewed it slowly and carefully.

Sakakibara noticed that she didn't want to talk to him now.

Probably the little devil was suppressed by the big devil once.

I feel very unhappy now.

In this case, Sakakihara felt that he couldn't disturb her too much and had to let her calm down for a while.

In addition, the beef served at this dinner is really good. One bite can fill your mouth with fragrant and tender meat.

He saw that girl Aling next to him had even eaten three pieces.

She is delicious and delicious, but she still pretends to be refined and elegant outside.

Sakakibara couldn't help laughing.

Sakakibara Suzu, who was sitting on the other end of the sofa, seemed to notice his gaze. She raised her head and noticed his smile.

"snort."

Sakakibara, who wore a beret and a white preppy dress, puffed up half of her face, turned her head away, raised her chin slightly, and then continued eating beef.

cute.

Uncle Tianhai and his mother were socializing with others in the banquet hall and did not play with juniors like themselves.

Sakakibara sat there for a few minutes and heard someone calling him.

"Sakakibara-kun."

When he looked up, he discovered that it was Yuzuki Kobayashi, and her mother - Mrs. Sakakibara Raku remembered to be Mrs. Sae Kobayashi.

With the host present, Tianhai Qimingyue also put down what he was holding, stood up, and said hello.

Although Sakakihara Suzu is delicious, she also knows when to stand up and say hello.

"Good evening, madam." Raku Sakakihara first greeted his wife naturally, and then smiled at Xiyue Xiaolin and said, "And Mr. Xiaolin, I wish you a happy birthday today."

"Ah?" Xiaolin Xiyue seemed a little dazed under his smile, and her brain processing speed was very slow, "Thank you, Sakakibara-kun, and the same thing about last time, thank you."

Seeing this, Sakakihara Suzu on the opposite side thought that my brother's performance was not bad.

Kobayashi Haye turned around, picked up a small sandalwood gift box from the waiter's hand, and handed it to Sakakibara Raku's hand.

"This is?"

"This is a gift, to thank you for helping me last time."

"Didn't you get any gifts?"

"That was given to you by Xiao Lin alone. As a mother, I naturally have to show some appreciation. Take it, do you want me to owe you a favor?" Xiao Lin Zaoe joked with a bit of joking.

I have to say this is really powerful.

It’s really hard for Sakakihara Raku to refuse.

"Then I'll accept it."

"Well, keep it. You and Xiaolin can communicate more in peacetime. If you have nothing to do, you can come and sit at our house. The more guests, the more angry you will be."

"Then, thank you, Mrs. Xiaolin."

"Too polite."

Mrs. Kobayashi Zaoe smiled kindly: "I'm sorry to disturb your meal. I wonder if there is any neglect or dissatisfaction?"

"No, at least that big portion of steak, my sister alone ate three pieces."

Eh? !

When she noticed that everyone was looking at her, Suzu Sakakihara looked at a loss and her reserved face turned a little red. She thought to herself, brother, aren't you indirectly telling people that I eat a lot?

It's too annoying

Mrs. Kobayashi Haye didn't care about this at all. Instead, she was amused by Sakakibara Raku's slightly joking words. She smiled very interestingly: "It's nothing, it's okay if you can eat. Haha, my Kobayashi doesn't eat much, so he is in poor health now." It’s very weak, and it loses strength after running two or three steps.”

Sakakibara Raku originally wanted to use Sakakihara Suzu to continue the conversation and lighten the atmosphere, but he didn't want to be stared back by her.

"By the way, Sakakibara-kun, you were ranked third in the joint monthly test of Meitoku Junior High School a few days ago."

"It's just tied for third place. The following students from other campuses are only one point behind me, and are more than ten points behind first and second place."

"You're being modest, that's very good. Are you joining any clubs now?"

"Kyudo Club."

"The Kyudo Club is great. Have you ever had a girlfriend?"

"Girlfriend? No."

"Is there any girl you like?"

"this."

"Mom, I'm a classmate."

Fortunately, Mrs. Kobayashi Sae's interrogation was stopped in time by Kobayashi Yuzuki, otherwise Sakakibara Raku's old background would have been exposed.

She clasped her hands in front of her and bent down apologetically:

"I'm sorry, Sakakibara-kun, Minister Tenkai, and Suzu-chan, please don't hesitate while my mother and I go to meet other guests."

"Hey, Xiaolin, don't worry. If I ask more, I won't have a chance next time."

"Come on, come on!"

"Okay, no problem." Sakakihara smiled confidently.

After Xiao Lin and his daughter left, the three of them sat down again.

Tianhai Qimingyue was the first to speak: "Brother is really good at flirting with women."

Originally, Sakakihara Suzu and Nanami Mingyue were not able to deal with each other, but after hearing these words, she immediately nodded, "They know how to flirt with women!"

Naturally, Sakakibara screamed that he was wronged.

It’s really unjust!

Dou E was not wronged by him.

"I was just helping out as a classmate."

Tianhai Qimingyue couldn't deny it: "Let's change the topic. Brother, now you have to carefully consider your identity. You are now my father's stepson."

"What's going on?"

"Grandpa only has one son, dad, and dad only has me and my sister. In other words, there are no boys."

Sakakihara thought for a moment, clarified the relationship, and spoke as if he was reciting: "Do you want me to take over your grandfather's group? Maybe I will inherit trillions of assets?"

Sakakibara Suzu, who was eating steak opposite, heard this and was so excited that she almost bit her tongue.

"What?! I want to take over trillions of assets?!!!"

Her eyes were already filled with money, filled with signals of "Raise me quickly, raise me quickly!"

Sakakihara Raku's head is full of black lines.

This horoscope has not been written yet, and there is no such thing as such a good thing.

"true and false?"

"Of course, but the premise is that the elder brother must change his surname to Tianhai. Moreover, being my father's stepson is not enough. The elder brother also needs to marry into our Tianhai family. Not only the main line, but also the collateral line must marry at least one."

"The main lineage is your grandfather's lineage?"

Sakakihara Suzu didn't understand the deeper meaning of this sentence, but Nanamigyue did.

She picked up a piece of foie gras, held it in front of her and said:

"The premise is that the brother must be good enough. Grandpa will not fundamentally despise his personality, but he will not let his granddaughter marry a poor boy who has nothing."

"What if we have deep feelings for each other?" Suzu Sakakihara asked.

"Love that breaks down the hierarchy has always existed and been praised. This is not unreasonable. However, that is just the perception of most people as spectators. Who doesn't like the story of a poor boy falling in love with a eldest lady? But the real fall It's another thing if it comes to yourself. Grandpa still won't agree."

Tianhai Qimingyue said this and took a sip of water.

"For example, Sister Jiang suddenly brought back an unqualified and gangster home one day. The guy was uneducated and lazy. He just claimed that he and Sister Jiang were true love, and Sister Jiang wanted to be with him forever. Now that her parents don't agree, she is going to elope with him, will her brother agree?"

Sakakihara Suzu: "?"

Sakakihara replied without hesitation: "That's definitely impossible. Suzu must have been deceived by that guy."

"So, the parents of those eldest ladies also think so. Their daughters have been deceived by poor boys."

"I also feel that way."

Bertha Hekeya walked over with a smile. After Tianhai Qimingyue saw her, the mood that had just recovered a little disappeared instantly.

"Are you still angry with your mother in July?"

"How come? You are the mother."

Bertha Hekeya knew her daughter's character, and Tianhai Qimingyue also knew that she was making fun of herself.

This is just a small thing, there is no need to be angry.

As for why they are so tit-for-tat in words, it's just that they haven't straightened out their anger yet.

Sakakibara asked: "Didn't Jiuruli go to the toilet with my sister?"

"Sister Xiaole still shouts sweetly, I like to hear it." Bertha Hekeya smiled kindly and sat next to him. The faint fragrance filled her nostrils, "Jiu Liuli has just been talking to some people who took the initiative to talk to her. People talk and are now invited to play the piano. After this piece, it will probably be her turn."

The orchestra with violins is on the left side of the ballroom, and a prominent piano sits on the platform on the right.

Sakakihara looked over there and gradually heard the end of the song.

Just as the lady said, after the piano music was played, the performer bowed to everyone and walked off the stage.

As the piano music fell, everyone felt that their voices had been lowered.

After a moment of silence, Tianhai Jiuliuli walked up alone.

Bertha Hekeya also stopped talking to Tianhai Qimingyue and looked over.

"This is a special show. It has been arranged in advance."

Tianhai Jiuliuli stepped on the reflective table with light steps. Her appearance, her eye-catching hair color, and her graceful figure quickly attracted a large number of people in the audience.

With her entrance.

Sakakihara Raku always felt that the atmosphere around him had become depressing - not that it was depressing, but the kind of silence that was almost like the opening of an ancient theater.

And the sound became quieter and spread in waves, and soon radiated to Tianhai Maodian.

"Mr. Tianhai, that is your daughter." A senior director of a company who was discussing legal matters with Tianhai Maodian saw Tianhai Jiuliuli appearing above the piano.

"Yes." Tianhai Maodian also temporarily ended the conversation and looked in that direction.

"Just from the temperament aspect, you can tell that he is very outstanding." The man sighed.

Tianhai Jiuliuli stood on the stage without showing any timidity. After she bowed slightly and saluted everyone's gaze, she immediately received applause that seemed to come one after another as encouragement.

Like a wave, it goes on and on.

She came to the piano, which was full of black luster, and placed her fingers on the bone-colored keys.

On the left, a group of violinists, oboists, cellos, and flute players in suits and ties were turning over thick sheets of music, waiting for the signal from the girl on the other side of the stage.

They had already received the news about the music that would be played this time.

Sergei Prokofiev Piano Concerto No. 2 in G minor.

The entire banquet hall fell silent, as if waiting for a signal.

Tianhai Jiuliuli's expression was serious, and her hair seemed to shine brightly under the light.

She breathed a sigh of relief and pressed the heavy keys with her slender fingers.

The soothing triplet syllables of the piano are uttered like a fairy tale, like water droplets falling into a quiet lake, with ripples spreading out. People present couldn't help but tighten their hearts and ears.

Sakakihara thought it was a good idea and planned to listen to Jiu Liuli's piano.

Soon, the music changed from soothing to some bright syllables, and the violinists began to sing in unison! As the thick sound of the bassoon joins in, the violin's tone gradually rises! The sharp sound can't help but make people's chest tighten, and they can't help but hold their breath.

The piano climbs steadily, its octaves rising and falling.

Music brewed and roared at her fingertips. This melody is like the undercurrent of various forces on an unknown continent. They are fully prepared in the shadows, staring at the enemy, and a shocking war is about to break out.

At this moment.

The scale suddenly explodes.

The sounds of the piano were suddenly released at will in Jiuliuli's hands. They flew and fluttered in the air, filling the entire hall with an epic intensity.

Step by step, rise step by step, climb step by step. At this moment.

It seems that all the conspiracies are perfectly vented in her short and rapid voice pattern!

Extremely comfortable!

Relief suddenly showed on people's faces.

Sakakihara Rakutou, who was watching from a distance, couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

readily

This is the only way to describe my feelings after listening to this piece of music

"Is Jiuliuli's piano so good?"

"Brother, don't talk, just listen quietly."

This piece of music is not over yet, a climax has been expressed, the symphony suddenly becomes solemn and solemn, and more and more instruments begin to join in and make noise. The entire banquet hall was filled with music, and the intensity increased exponentially.

The exciting music ahead is just settling. In the fourth movement, Tianhai Jiuliuli quickly cuts in with piano percussion techniques, and her arms suddenly speed up exponentially.

With her eyes closed and her brows furrowed, she typed out each heavy, fast and precise syllable within a second just by feeling! Phantoms appeared in her alternately playing hands, and the ear-drum-trembling music emerged like a crazy storm!

Under her leadership, the violin accelerated, the cello accelerated. Everything was forced to speed up, and the entire symphony orchestra was playing high and fast, trying its best to keep up with the score.

The flute and string pizzicato create overlapping sound patterns, and the band's roar and piano chords form the climax.

The passion of this section made Sakakibara couldn't help but pay attention, his hands clenched subconsciously, and his heartstrings tightened.

The violinists firmly pressed the piano board against their shoulders. They lowered their heads and tightened their legs on the ground. The muscles on their faces trembled and their hair swayed. They tried their best to match the exciting music at full speed.

But the music is getting faster and faster, more and more crazy, turbulent and violent.

They became more and more strenuous, to the point where they completely failed to coordinate.

Only Tianhai Jiuliuli was left. She closed her eyes, frowned, and her slender arms swayed rapidly on the piano keys. Distorted, fierce, roaring, violent, and painful, as if the syllables of a piano are being crushed and reconstructed again and again! The complexity of this piece of music is completely beyond the imagination of the musicians.

Even a layman can completely hear Prokofiev's crazy and ghostly will that seems to break the keys of the piano!

But even so, Liuli played every note without any mistakes.

It's perfect

Suzu Sakakihara's ears were shocked and her expression was dumbfounded. So she can play the piano so well?

In the midst of this devastating music, a violinist's gut string broke with a click.

But the exciting music will not stop, and the train of destiny is still moving forward with heavy load.

And at the highest point, perfection poured out, breaking through the shackles.

Then, the originally high-pitched music suddenly turned down, the tone dropped step by step, and fell into silence very naturally, and a relaxing and soothing A-section of interesting music began to appear vaguely.

Just like war and destiny, they will eventually rest at the end of the journey.

Music, it's over

When Bertha Hekeya saw this, she was already full of smiles.

"I've made some progress. I thought Jiu Liuli had taken off the piano for exercise."

Sakakibara Raku hadn't recovered from the music just now, "Did my sister teach Kuruuri?"

"Yes, it's me. Don't look at me like this, but I have also studied piano and violin for decades, and Liuli and Qiyue's talents are even more perfect than mine," Bertha Heikeya changed the subject and spoke with certainty, "No, it's top-notch perfection. I wonder if you can understand how terrifying it is to be able to perfectly perform Prokofiev's manic talent at the age of fifteen."

"I can probably understand." Sakakihara thought about the magical shock just now.

"So that's why I want to take them to the UK and Europe. Unfortunately, that's not possible now."

Tianhai Qimingyue interjected: "Don't attribute everything to talent. How long did you lock us in the practice room?"

"This is necessary nurturing. You and your sister are special."

"Special but not omnipotent, my sister and I are the same."

Even though he said that, Sakakihara Raku could still feel the difference between the two sisters.

As a child, he had to live a hard life.

How about them.

It is to live a hard life in order to cultivate higher arts and skills.

This is probably also the difference between rich people and ordinary people.

Bertha Hekeya smiled again and turned her gaze to Tianhai Qimingyue: "So, why didn't Qiyue go up to the duet with your sister just now?"

"The repertoire was inappropriate. And my violin was only for my sister."

"You can go up and try the piano now, and everyone will applaud you."

As if to confirm the lady's words, as the concerto came to an end, the banquet hall burst into applause.

Miwa Sakakihara and Shigenori Amami also applauded their daughters on the stage.

Tianhai Qimingyue: "Not interested."

Bertha Heikeya knew that her daughter in July was rarely interested in one thing. Violin and piano were not things she learned just because she loved them.

Tianhai Jiuliuli saluted and stepped down. Because of his outstanding performance, he naturally won the favor of many people.

Most of the young men also recognized which family she was from and walked towards her one after another.

Tianhai Qimingyue glanced over there and reminded at this moment: "Brother, come over quickly."

Of course Sakakihara Raku knew what to do at this time, but to be honest, nervousness was inevitable.

He nodded to his wife and Sakakibara Suzu, and then walked over there.

Sakakihara Suzu: "What are you going to do?"

"Invite sister to dance."

"Ah? Doesn't he know how to dance?"

"He is modest and can only dance a little." Tianhai Qi Mingyue said to Chao Ling, "And this is because the brother wants to help his sister. My sister doesn't like to have too much contact with other boys, so he used to help her solve troubles."

"That's it"

"If my sister can dance ballroom, you can also ask your brother to join us."

Sakakihara Suzu's face buried in confusion: "Who wants to dance with him? It's weird."

And Bertha Hekeya, who was sitting aside and listening to this series of conversations, understood even more clearly.

By the time Sakakihara Suzu turned her attention to the crowd over there.

She sideways glanced at Tianhai Qimingyue's face that was very similar to her own.

"So, you taught him how to dance, but he didn't do it to invite you?"

"My brother asked me for help in order to dance with my sister."

"July."

"Mom, there's no need to say anything. I don't have what you think."

"Is this really good?"

"I told you, mom, don't think too much."

Bertha Heikea smiled: "Then do you plan to go abroad with me in the future?"

"No."

"Sometimes it feels better to be a little further away."

Tianhai Qimingyue has turned her face away, indicating that she does not want to speak.

"July, mom, let me tell you, this time I came to Japan, I was actually invited."

"What kind of job is it again?"

"TV series, movies, commercial promotions, everything."

"That means you have to stay for a long time, right? Big stars are really busy."

"It will take a long time, but the work is equally busy. I know that in Qiyue, you have been talented as a model since you were a child. What do you think, are you interested in shooting some ordinary commercials with your mother? I can introduce it to you."

"I'm not famous. It's a bit of a gimmick for you to bring your sister along with me."

"Qiyue, quietly tell your mother, do you like Xiaole?"
