"Old witch!? You have no manners! What did you call me?!"
My aunt's voice was still echoing behind me.
The aunt was obviously very angry and chased after me with a ruler in hand.
"stop!"
Both Matsumae Shinchun and Jiuhuayue were a little scared, but this actually motivated them to run faster.
"Haha! Xinchun, let's run!"
"Xiao-Xiao Yue! Slow down!"
"stop!"
“No!” Jiu Huayue turned around and made a face happily, “Lue! I won’t stop! I’ll make you so mad!”
"You little bastard!" Matsumae Yoshiko was furious. She felt that the ruler was not enough, so she broke off a thin bamboo from the flower bed nearby.
"Damn it! The old witch is really angry!"
"Let's go back and apologize."
"No way! We'll get beaten badly! We just need to run, run far away, and we'll be fine!"
Matsumae Xinchun felt very scared, but Jiuhuayue in front of her was laughing excitedly. She kept calling her aunt and old witch, while pulling her and constantly telling her to run faster.
They ran together through the inner courtyard and through the kitchen.
When she was about to be caught by her aunt, Jiuhuayue pulled her again, stepped down barefoot, and ran along the cherry blossom trees of the Matsumae family towards the mountain of the Matsumae Shrine.
Run and run and run.
Matsumae Shinchun didn't know how long she had been following Jiuhuayue, but her aunt had disappeared long ago.
The feet of both of them also became dirty.
The two were in a bamboo forest, beside a stream, and next to a moss-covered jade fox statue.
Jiuhuayue didn't care whether she was dirty or not. She sat down on the moist soil covered with moss and bamboo leaves, breathing heavily.
Matsumae Shinchun stood there and saw her smiling at him with sweat all over her forehead:
"Run, ran away"
"Yeah, ran away."
Matsumae Shinchun was very tired, but at this moment she also felt that this was very comfortable.
Quiet bamboo forest and clear stream.
Both her body and mind, as well as the environment, made her feel extremely refreshed.
"Xinchun thinks I'm awesome, right?"
"Xiaoyue is amazing."
"Xinchun, you are as good as me! Look, we fooled that old witch around! She doesn't even know where to find us!"
Matsumae Shinharu felt warm at heart when she saw her childhood sweetheart's smile, but at the same time, she was also confused:
"Xiaoyue, why did you pull me out?"
"Stupid~"
"Ah? Xiaoyue, why, why did you scold me?" Matsumae Shinchun suddenly felt very sad.
"Because Kokoharu is an idiot!"
"."
Matsumae Xinchun dodged his gaze for a while, but when he looked at Jiuhuayue again.
Seeing the sunlight falling on her face, her purple eyes sparkled beautifully and delicately:
"It's simple! Xinchun is my good friend! A good friend for life!"
"A lifelong friend?"
"Yes!" Jiu Huayue said firmly. She propped herself up and stretched out her dirty little hand towards Songqian Xinchun. "If Xinchun doesn't believe me, let's make a pinky promise! This is our agreement!"
"Promise?"
"Yes! It's settled! Promise! Right now, right now."
Jiuhuayue suddenly caught a glimpse of the Jade Fox God enshrined in the shrine beside the stream.
"Under the witness of this!"
".It is Lord Shiroha, the guardian deity of the Matsumae family."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter! Come on," Jiu Huayue stretched out her little finger and smiled brightly, "Let's pinky promise."
"it is good"
They made a pinky promise and then pressed their two tender little hands together.
Everything is so simple and casual.
"Friends for life~"
"Yeah, a lifelong friend."
A lifelong friend.
Sixteen-year-old Matsumae Shinchun opened her eyes and faced the jade fox statue in the shrine.
Although both of them were beaten by their aunt afterwards, Matsumae Shinchun always remembered her, their childhood sweetheart, and her smile facing the sunshine in the bamboo forest.
To her, Xiaoyue at that time was so noble even with the dirt on her toes.
That was her first time, her first time experiencing the feeling of running away.
After Matsumae Shinchun finished her prayer, she suddenly heard a bell outside the door. She got up and went to open the door, but saw no one.
Just when she was feeling puzzled, she suddenly saw a bottle of hand cream on the ground.
Matsumae Xinchun squatted down, picked it up curiously, and saw a line of words in Jiuhuayue's handwriting that she was familiar with - "Nuo, this is for you. Your hand was burned, and it will be ugly if it leaves a scar!"
Matsumae Shinchun looked at the words and then looked at the hand cream in her other hand.
Thinking of their childhood friendship again, tears almost fell.
She placed the hand cream on her chest.
"Thanks."
The girl spoke softly and quietly.
And after Matsumae Shinchun closed the door and returned home.
Fujii Itsuki, who was hiding against the wall outside, breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the imitation handwriting was not seen through.
He still thinks he is perfect.
Although Xiao Jiuhua was still reluctant to say why they broke up, judging from Jiuhua's attitude that day, she obviously didn't really hate Matsumae.
If we do this, it should be able to slightly advance the reconciliation between the two of them, right?
If Jiuhua fails in the subsequent selection, Matsumae will take care of her.
Ugh.
Fujii Itsuki really couldn't bear to see Matsumae always looking so sad.
I always feel sorry for the professor.
Seeing how happy Matsumae was after receiving the gift, I felt happy too.
I really am
Fujii Itsuki smiled and shook his head, lit a cigarette, picked up the vegetables he had just bought from the supermarket, and continued walking towards Jiuhua's house.
Chapter 98 Jade Fox Festival
The song selected by Mr. Fujii Itsuki is called "Cold Wave".
The full name is "Cold Wave Symphony".
is an orchestral work by American composer Charles Timberg. The work was first performed in 1941 and is considered one of the representative works of American music in the mid-20th century.
It depicts the ice and snow and coldness of the cold northern regions, presenting the blizzard of the century in northern Michigan in 1938 in a melodic way.
The biggest highlight of this piece of music is that it uses columnar chords to create the feeling of the slow arrival of winter, which gradually erupts in a lingering, romantic and tender manner, with a trumpet solo bringing the piece to a climax.
From severe cold to sunny days, a breathtakingly beautiful winter.
It’s like a movie-like northern landscape with the colors of winter.
“Really very handsome”
As long as Rinka Hiiragi closes her eyes, she can imagine how insignificant and miserable people are in this snowstorm.
"Are you looking at the music?"
The voice of Jushizawa Yuzu made her look up.
"Well I just didn't expect to have to play such a difficult piece of music."
Holding the oboe, Jushiro Shirozawa did not deny it. She closed her eyes slightly and said, "The most difficult part is the solo in the middle. It's hard to play it well."
"Yuzu should be able to do it, right?" Rinka asked tentatively.
"If it's an oboe, maybe I can try, but the problem is that this section is for the trumpet, which I'm not good at."
The song that can be evaluated as difficult by You is really difficult.
Hiiragi Rinka couldn't help but think.
"That interesting man probably chose this piece on purpose. It's because of the difficulty of this piece that as long as we complete it, the club's goal - the national competition - will no longer be a dream."
