"Seriously."
"Then let's talk about clothes. I want to wear the clothes that Brother Shu gave me. They will definitely keep me warm."
"Okay, I'll buy you a set tomorrow."
"Thank you~"
Chapter 44 New Year and New Year Gifts
Compared to romance, it is more like friendship, right?
Jiuhuayue's chest was tightly pressing a shark doll with "X"-shaped eyes. She was lying on the bed, staring at the shark keychain in her hand.
We studied together, made progress together, and after school, we dropped our schoolbags and played beautiful wind music together on the banks of the Otaru Canal.
Sister Akai plays the clarinet, and uncle seemed to be a saxophone player in high school, right?
Jiuhuayue could already imagine a picture in her mind - Sister Akai was playing a warm, soft, mellow melody with the clarinet, and the uncle was right beside her, accompanying her with a rich, thick, jazzy saxophone.
The songs are melodious and the seabirds are parallel to the sky.
The wonderful music touches each other's hearts directly.
Is this friendship?
Why don’t I have a friend like this?
Jiu Huayue suddenly thought of something. She stepped on the wooden board with her bare clean feet without even putting on her slippers, and quickly came to her computer desk which was filled with music CDs.
She pushed open her Macbook, slid her slender fingers across the touchpad, and searched the name "Fujii Itsuki" on the Internet.
Of course, when searching for this name, almost all the results are Fujii Itsuki from "Love Letter".
So she added the keyword information of [Kyoto University] and [wind orchestra club].
"There is."
The girl's eyes lit up.
There was a news report about him, and the headline was quite exaggerated.
[Gifted?! The 21-year-old principal led the Kyoto University Wind Ensemble Club to win the gold medal in the 202x University/Workplace 68th National Wind Ensemble Competition!]
The news is from four years ago, and there are comments from Japanese netizens below.
[As expected of a celebrity], [The resources he has access to are not comparable to those of ordinary college students, right?], [He deserves this result].
Celebrity background?
Jiu Huayue was puzzled. Didn't the uncle grow up in an orphanage? How could he be a celebrity?
Putting this question aside for the moment, Jiu Huayue saw another video title that interested her very much.
[National Gold Award, University/Workplace Edition: 68th (202x) All Japan Wind Music Competition National Competition Gold Award Winner Free Performance Song - Dvorak: Symphony No. 202 "From the New World" [Blu-ray/DVD] x Japan Best of Japan Best Digest]
Video of uncle winning gold medal
She put on her headphones and clicked on the link.
A magnificent lobby, a symphony orchestra of dozens of people, and uniformly gorgeous black dresses.
Jiuhuayue recognized Fujii Itsuki at the front of the orchestra at a glance, but he was holding a violin instead of a saxophone.
The uncle's position is the first violin, right?
This position is not only the principal of bowed string instruments, but also the principal of the entire orchestra.
The status is just below command.
She watched patiently.
As the video progresses, the explosive power of this song from the New World directly bursts out of the screen, which is very shocking.
But Jiuhuayue only likes the violin solo by Fujii Itsuki after the explosion of the piece.
So-unique.
She didn't know how to describe this feeling. It was melodious and refreshing, and her heartstrings were all moved by the bowstring in his hand.
She closed her eyes, hugged her legs on the chair, placed her chin on her knees, calmed down, and listened attentively to the beautiful string sounds coming from the headphones.
The sound stopped, and she put her finger on the left arrow key of the keyboard, rewound the video, and listened to it again.
As the uncle said, music is a language.
Music contains emotional communication.
She listened to Fujii Itsuki playing the violin and watched him playing seriously in the orchestra.
The colorful purple eyes revealed a strong color, a deep desire and a strong longing.
I really want to become Akai sister back then, I really want to keep up with his pace, I really want to play with him on the banks of the Otaru Canal.
I want to be a good friend who can play music together for a lifetime
Yes, good friends for life.
Jiuhuayue took off her headphones and lay down in front of the computer desk.
The girl had already decided in her heart that she would join the uncle's wind band club after school started.
We must make him recognize, appreciate and admire himself musically.
Only in this way can you truly become good friends with him and communicate with each other spiritually.
Only in this way can I understand him better and he can understand himself more deeply.
Jiuhuayue put her hands over her chest.
The beautiful girl had never felt her heart beating as hard as it did now.

Today is New Year.
Fujii Itsuki's schedule today is mostly at the welfare home.
He took Jiu Huayue with him to distribute New Year gifts to more than 30 children in the welfare home.
Naturally, everyone gathered together.
The dean asked everyone to write down their New Year wishes in advance, and Fujii Itsuki was responsible for helping them realize them. So when they really got the toys and dolls they wanted on New Year's Day, what emerged in their eyes was the satisfaction and excitement of the children in the corner after being cared for.
Jiuhuayue seemed to see herself.
On New Year's Day, Yang Kui and the uncle gave each other gifts.
The uncle gave her a beautiful dress.
She gave the uncle a scarf she had knitted herself.
The uncle seemed very happy to receive the clothes from his sister. He reached out and rubbed Yang Kui's head. Yang Kui seemed to like him very much. He kept smiling under his hand, saying blessings, "Brother Shu! Happy New Year!", rushed over to hug him, his face full of happiness.
As we stayed in the welfare home, it was already night.
Almost all the children were forced to go to their rooms and sleep under the supervision of the director and the aunt, but because it was New Year and they had received New Year gifts, most of the children were too excited to sleep.
Jiuhuayue saw a little girl hugging the teddy bear that Fujii Itsuki bought for her, and she was sleeping alone, curled up in the quilt.
When I got home, it was already late at night.
Jiuhuayue subconsciously opened her mobile phone to see what messages she had received on the new year's day.
But there was no message contacting her on her phone, LINE, or social media account.
Her parents didn't call her at all.
There was only a text message containing New Year's safety tips sent by the Otaru City Government to all citizens.
My mood today can be said to be both happy and a little lonely.
The girl stood at the door of the big house, raised her head and looked at the numerous snowflakes in the dark night.
These snowflakes appeared from an invisible place, fluttering and falling in front of the girl, the only person who was looking up at them.
She stretched out her hand to catch the snowflakes, the ice crystals spread on her fingertips, and in less than a moment, they disappeared from her sight alone.
The brief life of snowflakes evoked the loneliness in the girl's heart, and all kinds of thoughts came to her mind.
"Actually, I wanted to ask you yesterday, aren't you going back to Tokyo?"
The girl's hand remained stretched out, and her eyes only fell on the profile of Fujii Itsuki who was looking up at the sky.
"Hmm? Jiuhua?"
Jiuhuayue came back to her senses and replied:
"There's nothing to go back to. I came back to Otaru just to leave that place."
"That's right. Did your parents call you on New Year's Day?" Fujii Itsuki's eyes fell on the snowman at the door.
".No."
"Maybe they were too busy, working overtime during the New Year, so they didn't think of calling you."
"maybe."
"You don't mind having a cigarette?"
"Uncle, just stand further away."
"Row."
Fujii Itsuki took two steps away from her, lit a cigarette neatly, took a deep puff, and slowly exhaled.
"Jiuhua, stretch out your hand."
"doing what?"
"I think the way you reached out to touch the snow just now was very beautiful. Can I look at it for a while longer?"
"Uncle, you started it again!" Jiu Huayue looked angry. This time she was really angry because she treated Fujii Itsuki as her friend.
"Stretch out."
