About the fact that I unintentionally raised my sister to be a cripple - Chapter 138 Jiuliuli’s Piano Recital (2)

The time was pushed back one day.

The air was equally hot. Because Tianhai Jiuliuli needed to enter the venue early, she left home earlier than a few others.

Before leaving, Sakakihara quietly hid from her family and held her hand for a while. Jiu Liuli’s face became visibly shy and red.

The generous Jiululi is really cute when she is shy.

This caused Raku Sakakihara to reminisce about the feeling of her little hands for a long time after she said “Goodbye in the afternoon” to herself.

When I returned to the living room, I was glared at by Sakakibara Suzu and asked myself, “Why are you giggling?”.

He didn’t want to laugh either.

But when I think of the scene when holding hands, the corners of my mouth unconsciously move up.

Forget it, let’s rest for a while, then change clothes and go to the recital with everyone.

This piano recital is a year-round practice, not an impromptu event.

Each year a theme is drawn up and the tracks are selected according to the theme.

Sakakihara Raku, who got into Amami’s Audi A6, glanced at the simple black invitation in his hand.

The invitation contained a card, which, in addition to some gorgeous decorative patterns, also contained detailed information about the piano recital, including the date, time, and address.

The theme is “At Dawn”.

“In this recital, only those who have received the invitation letter are invited?” Raku Sakakihara asked Amami Nanamiyue opposite.

Tianhai Qimingyue paused for a second, looked forward and replied: “No, the recital is open to the public, and invitations are only sent to those who are specially invited. Compared with the tickets sold to the public, the invitation location is better.”

Sakakibara Suzu, who was sitting between the two of them, quietly asked: “Is Kuruuri famous? I see that the address is actually at the Tokyo Art Theater.”

“How old is your sister?” Tianhai Qimingyue asked.

“15, you are the same age as me, why are you asking this?”

“My sister was able to complete the most difficult piece of music in the world at the age of 13 – Sergei Prokofiev’s Piano Concerto No. 2 in G minor. Although my sister can’t understand the difficulty, you only need to know that my sister is in the circle. Just be as famous as a top star.”

“So awesome”

Sakakihara thought of something: “The song you are talking about is the one that Jiuri played at the tea party dinner?”

Tianhai Qimingyue sat upright and replied, very coldly: “Otherwise? Why do you think they invited my sister to play a piano piece alone that day?”

“Relationship really invites Jiuliuli to come up and open everyone’s eyes.”

The car climbed up a gentle slope and drove along the city’s main road to the Tokyo Metropolitan Theater located near Ikebukuro West Exit Park.

The theater has a large entrance, with a square paved with tiles at the entrance. The shape of the building is half a fallen pyramid, with dark blue tile walls, and the unnamed artistic logo of Sakakihara Raku on the top.

As for why Sakakibara Suzu was surprised that Jiu Liuli’s performance venue was here, Sakakihara Raku went online to find out more about it when she came.

This is the largest performance venue in Tokyo. It even has a two-story loft and is an art concert hall that can accommodate 2,000 people! It’s really huge.

As soon as Raku Sakakihara got out of the car and stepped onto an open flat field, the 40-degree heat wave in Tokyo instantly squeezed his skin. He was really hot in this suit.

“It’s too hot this summer.” Suzu Sakakibara, who was wearing a short-sleeved dress, held her casual straw hat and stood next to Raku Sakakibara.

Seeing that he was ignoring her, Sakakihara Suzu puffed up her face again, took his hand and asked: “Are you really dating Jiu Liuli?”

“How many times have I asked this question?”

Sakakihara Suzu dodged her eyes in front of him: “Because. Because you have never been in love, and you have never spoken to other girls.”

Sakakihara Suzu’s voice became softer and softer as she spoke, “I am concerned about your relationship status, brother! I’m afraid that you will be dumped by Jiu Liuli.”

“How can you dump the person you just dated?”

Sakakibara understands Suzu’s feelings. Although she won’t exaggerate them, she is definitely jealous.

Think about it carefully.

What Jiuliuli snatched was the brother she had been with for more than ten years.

Helpless, Sakakibara could only tell her one more time: “It’s true, Suzu, you don’t need to ask. It’s just a love affair. It’s nothing. It’s not like I won’t make delicious food for you.”

“Then why don’t you do anything as a couple? It seems like you haven’t even gone out on a date!”

This question directly stopped Raku Sakakibara.

He was more embarrassed to ask Jiu Liuli out, and Jiu Liuli was even more embarrassed to ask herself out.

“Tell me~ tell me, tell me, tell me, okay~” Sakakihara Suzu kept shaking her brother’s arm. .

“.If you ask me to answer this question, I can’t answer it.”

“Why?”

“I do not know.”

Sakakihara Suzu thought carefully: “Brother, are you afraid to ask Jiu Liuli out?!”

Sakakibara put a fist on her head wearing a straw hat: “Okay, don’t ask so many questions about your brother, go in quickly, you will be burned to death by the sun if you stand outside.”

“You will bully me if you don’t.”

Passing through the glass door and entering the spacious entrance hall of the Tokyo Metropolitan Theater, the air-conditioned air hits your face.

In the 1F lobby, people come and go. Many art works are displayed inside the building and in the surrounding public areas. There are also restaurants, shops, and post offices. It is like a comprehensive shopping mall with an artistic atmosphere.

Walking a little further inside, a three-dimensional poster of Tianhai Jiuliuli’s “Dawn” piano recital came into view.

In the poster, Amami Kuri is wearing a pure white dress and playing the piano in a dark concert hall. With her slender jade fingers and her eyes closed, she plays so elegantly that Sakakihara Raku can’t help but take a second look.

The promotional poster is very beautiful and moving, and it is also placed in the most conspicuous position on the 1F.

Uncle Amami and Mrs. Sakakibara took a few people to the general information office and confirmed that the location of Jiuri’s performance was in the concert hall on the 7th floor.

While waiting, Raku Sakakibara suddenly remembered Suzu Sakakibara’s previous goal, “Didn’t you say a while ago that you wanted to learn to play the piano?”

“Ah? Is there any?”

“Don’t act stupid.” Sakakibara deliberately clenched his fists and forced a smile.

Suzu Sakakihara immediately hugged her head and glanced through the brim of her hat: “Learning piano is too difficult. I watched a few videos and found that I had to learn a lot of knowledge, so I gave up.”

“Sister-chan, this is a lack of persistence.”

No one can say that she is good, but Sakakihara Suzu just doesn’t want to hear what Qi Mingyue says about herself.

If you ask why, you can only blame this fox for always being against him!

“Then, can you play?”

Sakakihara Raku heard this and thought that Nanamiyue was not only good at it, her piano was just a little worse than Jiuri’s, and her violin was even better.

“Sister-chan wants me to teach you step by step, that’s not impossible.”

“Eh~ It’s not impossible. If you say it, it won’t do any good.”

The chatter between the few people quickly stopped because a person walked towards the entrance of the hall.

Even Uncle Tianhai, who was going to lead a few people into the concert hall first, also followed and looked over.

He frowned.

The mother of the Tianhai sisters, Bertha Hekeya, had her long hair tied up, wore a very elegant and light summer blue dress, and walked in with her slender legs.

Sakakibara noticed that many pairs of eyes were cast on Aunt Bertha, and they were all foreigners with blond hair and blue eyes, as if they all knew her.

Yes, most of the people who came to this concert were insiders.

As the mother of a talented girl, Aunt Bertha must have a fairly high reputation in the industry.

There were two well-dressed couples, probably Germans, but they didn’t speak English anyway. They went up to talk to Aunt Bertha, who responded calmly, and after a few words of conversation, they smiled and nodded to each other before leaving.

Aunt Bertha obviously noticed a few people, and walked over with her hands reserved in front of her.

The high heels made the tiled floor crisp and loud.

Auntie and uncle had had a quarrel before. It can be imagined that Amami Madenori’s face darkened the moment he saw Aunt Bertha.

“It’s been almost a month and I still have the same expression. July is here.” Mrs. Bertha smiled politely, turning her head slightly, and the pendant in her earlobe was very shiny.

Sakakibara glanced at Nanamiyue specifically, and her expression was as calm as the surface of a lake.

Amami Madenori: “Don’t keep this expression on me, I think we have nothing in common.”

Mrs. Bertha said helplessly: “I just want to see my daughter.”

“Aren’t you here to check and accept the results?” Tianhai Maodian said this without politeness.

“This is too much, Shigenori. You are a well-known lawyer in Tokyo. You should know that mothers do not need the guardian’s consent to visit their children. This is the mother’s legal right. There is no need to be angry again because of what happened before.”

Tianhai Maodian did not deny what she said: “If you don’t visit once in three years, who can know the purpose of your return this time?”

“What are you talking about, Maodian,” Mrs. Bertha sighed, “I came back this time just to pick up commercials and commercial movies, ah. Of course, visiting Liuli and Qiyue is also a very important part.”

The uncle and aunt each said one sentence, and their words became more and more sharp.

Raku Sakakihara could hear the discord between the two of them from the side. Even if they were not excited enough to fight, the cynicism was increasing.

From the recent friction to the trivial matters during the wedding period.

Uncle Tianhai and Auntie Tianhai are both people with relatively strong personalities, and they will feel uncomfortable if they are even slightly disadvantaged.

This made Raku Sakakihara feel ashamed. It turned out that the quarrel between the barrister and the big star was so common that they could even talk about who was doing the laundry.

“Why are they so quarreling?” Sakakihara Suzu quietly asked Tenkai Qimingyue.

“Emotional discord.”

“Oh~”

Of course, the two of them could only break up on bad terms in the end. It was only with Mrs. Sakakibara’s intervention that the two stopped their “friendly” communication.

Sakakihara couldn’t help but sigh, his ex-wife and ex-husband were indeed enemies.

The concert hall is much larger than Sakakibara imagined. It spreads out in a fan shape, with more than a dozen rows in the middle and more than a dozen rows on both sides. The rear is decorated with stepped block lights, making the hall look like a classical theater.

The walls are also inlaid with rod-shaped wooden flanges that deliver soft reflected sound to the auditorium.

A pure black piano is placed in the center of the stage, which should be where Jiuliuli will perform later.

At this moment, there is still one hour before the recital starts, and the audience has already begun to enter the venue, sitting in every corner of the 2,000-person concert hall in an irregular manner.

It seems that in addition to many experts in the piano industry, there are also many ordinary spectators who came in to watch.

The 2,200 yen ticket is indeed not expensive.

The seats of Sakakihara Raku and others are on the second floor mezzanine, which is also the best place to watch and appreciate.

The loft of Raku Sakakibara and his friends is on the right, and Uncle Amami and Mrs. Sakakibara are on the loft on the left.

Because it was a special location, when Sakakibara sat down, a waiter brought snacks and fruits.

They were all high-end goods – fruits not found in Japan, such as lychees and longans, which made Suzu Sakakibara extremely happy.

“I haven’t eaten it before.”

So she started eating, and after eating, she went to ask for Sakakibara’s. Seeing that she wanted to eat, Sakakibara gave it to her casually.

But she hasn’t had enough. .

“You want it?” Tianhai Qimingyue glanced at her.

“Uh-huh!”

“No.”

“Ah~~Why is this like this?”

Tianhai Qimingyue spoke like a life mentor: “Everything in life cannot be as you wish, and you don’t want everyone to obey your wishes and satisfy you. I will not spoil you like a brother by spoiling my sister.”

“But you are mine -” Sakakihara Suzu suddenly covered her mouth.

“Huh? Who am I to you?” Tianhai Qimingyue calmly peeled a lychee.

“No, it’s nothing.” Sakakihara Suzu turned her head decisively and sat back in her seat.

It was quiet for a while.

“Here, I’ll give this to you, Ling.”

Sakakihara Suzu looked back following the sound and found that it was Mrs. Bertha. She subconsciously called out, “Auntie.”

Mrs. Bertha smiled: “Well, Ling is very good. If you want to eat, just take it.”

“Then thank you, aunt.” Sakakibara Suzu couldn’t refuse this kind of fruit that she couldn’t usually eat.

“Nothing.” Mrs. Bertha smiled and sat down.

Amami Nanamigetsu glanced at her mother who was sitting between him and Sakakibara Suzu, and asked, “Are you sitting over here?”

“Of course.” Mrs. Bertha always had a mature and calm temperament. “Liu Li knew that your father and I were not getting along recently, so she naturally arranged for you and me to be together.”

“Sister is really attentive.”

Tianhai Qimingyue was a person of few words. After knowing that her mother was indeed sitting here, she stopped talking.

Sakakibara Raku and Sakakibara Suzu chatted and laughed with Mrs. Bertha and greeted each other several times.

Mrs. Bertha also invited Raku Sakakibara to visit her place and said that she would cook something delicious for him.

The time moved forward more than ten minutes, and there were 42 minutes left before the start of the recital. Raku Sakakihara took his cell phone and suddenly said he wanted to leave.

“Why are you going?” Sakakihara Suzu asked.

“Jiu Liuli asked me to go to the rehearsal room downstairs.”

At this time, even Mrs. Bertha and Amami Nanamigetsu, who had been waiting patiently, looked towards Sakakibara Raku.

“But it’s only half an hour before the show starts.” Suzu Sakakihara was puzzled.

Sakakihara spread his hands and said, “There’s nothing I can do. She asked me to come over.”

“Then I’m going too!”

“Go. What are you going to do?”

“I’m going.”

“A Ling, don’t be willful.”

As soon as Sakakibara Raku said these words, Sakakibara Suzu fell silent. She turned around, held the hem of her skirt with her little hands, and whispered “big fox” in the silence.

Then he watched Sakakihara leave the second-floor loft after saying something to Mrs. Bertha.

Bertha Hekeya turned around and keenly noticed some clues in the exchange just now. She asked Sakakihara Suzu: “Why did Liuli find Xiaole?”

“I don’t know very well.” Sakakihara Suzu could tell that she was not very happy.

“What does the big fox mean?”

Suzu Sakakihara didn’t expect her mumbling to be heard by her aunt, so she quickly explained: “I’m very sorry, aunt, I was just joking.”

Bertha Hekeya smiled gently: “It doesn’t matter, I don’t care.”

Afterwards, Mrs. Bertha suddenly left the attic for ten minutes. When she came back, Sakakihara Raku hadn’t come back yet, but she already had a smile on her face.

Mrs. Bertha opened the red curtain of the attic and glanced at Tianhai Qimingyue, who was reading an e-book on her mobile phone in her seat.

“July,” she shouted.

Tianhai Qimingyue didn’t look back, but nodded her head slightly to indicate that she heard.

“Come on, come out.” Mrs. Bertha said with a smile and left here.

Nanami Nanami felt something in her heart, put down her phone, and glanced sideways at Suzu Sakakibara, “What’s wrong?”

“Ah? What’s wrong?”

“.” After pondering for a moment, Tianhai Qimingyue said again, “No, it’s nothing.”

After saying that, he stood up and left the attic.

The corridor on the second floor attic is paved with red carpet, and the surrounding sculptures are very Renaissance Baroque style.

The distinctive swirl of floral flowers, the smiling angel holding a lyre, the beauty holding the grapevine looking downward, and the carp huddled together in a group and spraying water to the left and right.

In such an atmosphere, the seven bright moons in the sky and the sea quietly came to my mother who was standing next to a flowerpot.

She raised her gold-rimmed glasses and looked at her smiling mother.

“What’s up?”

“Ale and Liuli are dating, right?” Bertha Hekeya asked with her hands on her shoulders.

“.”

“Yes.” Tianhai Qimingyue replied.

“How long?”

“Not long.”

“How do you feel in July?”

“.” Tianhai Qimingyue just looked at her mother quietly.

“You’re still the same, it doesn’t matter if you talk to me more.”

Bertha Hekeya knew her daughter very well. Even though she rarely saw her after the divorce, her personality had hardly changed since she was a child.

“Qiyue, I still remember how you were when you were a child. Even though your daily tasks were so heavy and your hands felt uncomfortable after practicing, you still wanted to go out. Why would you, a child, want to go out? Why would you, a child, want to go out? I was still very curious, but I understood it after meeting that Xiao Le.”

“Haha. That’s really interesting. We are childhood sweethearts, right?”

Bertha Hekeya half-lidded her sapphire blue eyes and smiled, her smile was very beautiful, her shoulders moved in laughter, “Originally, I thought you had forgotten, but I didn’t expect that I still remember my childhood sweethearts, haha, I didn’t expect seven Yue, you will also be troubled by this kind of thing. Haha.”

Bertha Hekeya changed her expression for a moment and put down the hand covering her face: “How about it, does it feel uncomfortable to have your things taken away by your sister?”

Tianhai Qimingyue still didn’t speak.

Bertha Hekeya knew that her daughter was very smart and knew too much information. She would not say too many words to herself or admit too many things that she did not want to admit.

A smile appeared on Bertha Hekeya’s lips. She bent down slightly, placed her mouth next to her daughter’s ear, and whispered to her: “Why don’t you do me a favor, so that I can take Liuli abroad for a year, and You can also have your wish, July.”

“.”

Bertha Hekeya stood up straight again. She tilted her head slightly with a smile, and the crystal jewelry on her earrings shone brightly. “What matters is not what you and Jiu Liuli think, but what Xiao Le thinks, right? As long as Liuli leaves, she One year, no man will not like you in July, and you are so similar to Liuli.”

“You can’t do anything in one year.”

“That’s not necessarily the case,” Mrs. Bertha tapped her face with her fingers, her expression very youthful and playful. “I can see from the tea party that Liuli’s level has not deteriorated. As long as she is willing to go to Europe with me to participate in the competition in February next year. Chopin International Piano is equivalent to getting a stepping stone for the future. Although Maodian will be troublesome after this, I still have the confidence to keep Liuli in Europe.

“How about it? It’s not like your sister won’t come back, it’s just one year. After one year, won’t she come back? By then you will still be a good sister and a good sister, and you can still get what you want in July.

“Everyone is happy, right?”

Tianhai Qimingyue sighed helplessly, “I don’t like this feeling very much.”

Bertha Hekeya’s smile became even prettier, as if there was a touch of bright red wine at the corner of her mouth: “You mean, you won’t refuse, right?”
