When I pushed the door open and looked inside, I saw four beds, but only Rinka was sleeping peacefully.
Where are Jiuhua and Xinchun?
Fujii Itsuki closed the door and walked along the corridor to leave the hotel.
Just as I reached the end, I saw the shadows of two people around the corner.
Fujii Itsuki quickly hid behind the corner and eavesdropped.
The sound of waves hitting the beach.
Jiuhuayue and Matsumae Xinchun both had their backs to each other, and it seemed that they were still arguing. The air between them seemed cold.
"Tsk, if it weren't for you, Xinchun, I wouldn't have been kicked out."
"Isn't it because you were too loud, Xiaoyue, and woke Chitose that we were kicked out?"
"If you hadn't gone to look for the uncle in the middle of the night, would I have followed you? Besides, I'm not like you, used to keeping your voice down when doing things!"
Fujii Itsuki put his hand on his forehead.
The situation between the two of them looked very bad.
But what people didn't expect was that Matsumae Shinchun showed weakness first. She hugged her legs and stared at her toes. "Xiaoyue, come to think of it, we haven't had a good talk since the fight that day, right?"
"talk?"
Matsumae Xinchun's voice weakened, and Jiuhuayue also weakened a little. She sat on the edge of the hotel's eaves, with the sand and stones of the sea beneath her dangling feet. "What is there to talk about?"
"I actually don't want to argue with you, Xiaoyue, at all."
"You think I do?"
"Xiaoyue, I still remember us back then."
".You're only bringing up the past now? It's all over."
"Is it over?" Matsumae Shinchun's tone and expression were very depressed. "I never thought so. For a person, some things are destined to be unforgettable for a lifetime. Even though they may become weak sometimes, it doesn't mean they are forgotten."
".So you chose to treat me like that that day?!" Jiu Huayue's voice was clearly filled with anger.
"But if I don't do that, I'll be deceiving you, Xiaoyue, right? Xiaoyue said she didn't like deception when we reconciled. In that case, I think I should tell you, Xiaoyue, what I think in my heart."
"Then why didn't you just tell me?!"
"Xiaoyue, only then can you understand why I absolutely, absolutely, absolutely cannot quit."
Fujii Itsuki heard everything from behind the corner.
He closed his eyes.
I don’t know whether this trend is good or bad.
There was silence for a long time, with only the sound of the sea breeze around me.
Jiuhuayue turned around and looked at the back of Matsumae Shinchun who was hugging his legs.
Her hair was blown by the sea breeze.
Jiu Huayue frowned, lowered her voice, and then asked in a low voice: "Why can't you quit?"
"Xiaoyue, I don't want to marry someone I don't like."
At this time, Fujii Itsuki curiously stuck out half of his head, and he clearly saw that Jiuhua Yuebin's purple pupils had dilated a little.
Matsumae Shinharu's weak voice continued:
"Since you left, Xiaoyue, my mother also left me. My father always told me that my mother worked in Kyoto, so she couldn't come to visit me. I was looking forward to my mother coming back from Kyoto every day.
"Can you bring me some cute little hairpins and some delicious snacks.
“My family never let me eat those things, only my mother was willing to give them to me.
"My family kept waiting, waiting until the flowers bloomed, waited until the leaves turned green, waited until the flowers fell, and waited until the leaves withered, and this cycle lasted for several generations.
"I always waited at the door. Every time Uncle Ying saw me, he would tell me that my mother would come back to visit me and asked me to go home and wait. But my mother never came back once. All I got was my father telling me the bad news about my mother.
“I didn’t get to see my mother when she died.
"At my mother's funeral, it was raining that day, and my father held a black umbrella for me. I asked my father if my mother still loved us.
"My father replied 'Of course I do'.
"'Then why hasn't mother come home for so long?'
"My father looked at my mother's tombstone and didn't answer my question. He just said in a very low voice, 'It's very likely that he never considered us a family.'"
"."
After hearing this, Fujii Itsuki was almost speechless.
I thought Xinchun didn't know that the professor didn't love her.
But Xinchun still knew.
She's not stupid.
What makes Fujii Itsuki even more impressed is that even after knowing this is the truth, Xinchun still loves the professor.
Even now, Xinchun still feels very happy when she discusses the professor with herself.
Professor, professor, you taught me so many things and knowledge, gave me ideals and the motivation to pursue my goals.
But the only thing you are wrong about is your attitude towards Xinchun.
What Xinchun said next was very sad.
Fujii Itsuki was listening attentively. She told him everything that happened during the time they met.
Jiu Huayue was silent for a long time after listening to this.
"But this is not a reason for me to give up." She took another look at Matsumae Shinchun's back.
"Yes, I know." Matsumae Shinchun nodded.
Jiuhuayue suddenly put her hands on her back, looked at the moon on the sea, and breathed a sigh of relief, "But it's true that I understand you better, Xinchun."
"Thank you, Xiaoyue."
".You're still thanking me for this?"
"It's good enough that Xiaoyue can still listen to me carefully."
"That's it."
Jiuhuayue stood up, her expression returned to normal, and she turned her back to Matsumae Shinchun.
"But even though I understand, I won't give up. That's it."
she left.
Fujii Itsuki quickly found a place to hide on the other side.
After Jiuhuayue returned to the room, he looked again at Matsumae Xinchun, who was squatting under the eaves with her legs crossed.
This kid.
Fujii Itsuki walked over and sat next to her.
His hand also rested on her shoulder.
".Teacher?" Matsumae Shinchun, who had buried her face, turned around in surprise.
Fujii Itsuki just looked at the night sea, the gentle waves, and said with a smile: "Isn't it all over? Now I am here."
Just with these words, Matsumae Shinchun's eyes trembled, and then with tears in the corners of her eyes, she threw herself into his arms.
"teacher"
"It's okay, it's okay."
Fujii Itsuki smiled and touched the head of the girl in his arms.
Chapter 214: Thousand Years of Growth
The morning of the fourth day was still club training.
For the song he will perform in the Hokkaido competition, Fujii Itsuki chose "Waltz Under the Blue Sky" by Hiroki Takahashi.
This piece of music places the most emphasis on emotional expression. Both the melody and the rhythm of the music convey a carefree mood.
This was also taken into consideration when I came to Okinawa for training.
Fujii Itsuki stood on the podium, using the baton in his hand to guide everyone's emotions while observing everyone's expressions, movements, and demeanor.
All Fujii Itsuki could see was the word "immersion".
The melody is brought by the instruments in their hands, including trumpet, trombone, bass horn, cello, violin and saxophone. Everyone does not even need to pay attention to the people around them. They just need to press the piston keys, pull the bowstrings and blow the horns to blend into this melodious and lingering rhythm at will.
After the training, everyone was still excitedly discussing with their friends where to go for fun today.
Fujii Itsuki put away the sheet music while Akai Muko stood aside, looking at the students in the multi-purpose hall and asked with emotion:
"Ashu, did you notice?"
"Discover something."
"Even though you've arranged it so excessively, there are still quite a few students in the club who are training seriously. Everyone has grown up compared to the beginning, and they are all willing to trust your decision."
"Am I over-arranging?"
"They were asked to start training on their first day and they couldn't even have fun. Isn't that too much?"
Fujii Itsuki smiled.
Akai Muzi looked at the young students in front of her again, and a trace of nostalgia suddenly flashed in her eyes, "Ashu, maybe everyone can really represent the entire Hokkaido in the national competition and go to Tokyo, burning their entire youth without leaving any regrets."
Fujii Itsuki looked at her.
I wonder if the gleam in Muzi's eyes reflects the regret of her failure in returning home?
Beach camping and barbecue activities were arranged from the afternoon to the evening of the fourth day.
There is a shallow beach on Senaga Island, which is perfect for camping.
