Zongman, a perfect life simulation

Unexpectedly, after being silent for a minute or two, Yashio Ruyu sent her a video.

……

Chapter 6: A Corner of Genius

The video is not long, only six and a half minutes, and the title is Paganini's Capriccio No. 24, with an additional suffix, "Hanata Saki Ame's version".

As a student who has studied music seriously and the double bass player of the wind band, Nagasaki Suyo naturally has a certain level of musical literacy. She has heard this extremely classic and difficult piece of music more than once.

Because of this, her fingers couldn't help but tremble when she clicked on the video.

In the video, in the center of a music room, a slender figure with long cherry-pink braids holds a bow in her right hand, with the violin resting on her left shoulder. Her left hand gently pinches the neck of the violin, and her four fingers dance lightly on the strings. Gorgeous and varied elegant melodies flow out with the sliding of the bow.

Smooth and agile, without a trace of noise, the melody is fierce and unrestrained, yet like a wild beast tamed by the performer, with all the ups and downs manipulated. It is perfect enough to become a model for any violinist!

During the smooth performance, Nagasaki Suyo seemed to see the violinist known as the devil come back to the world, and with his hands that were like works of art, he gave the piece of music incredible magic, which made people deeply immersed in it and unable to extricate themselves!

You can feel the superb technique and emotional expression in the melody even through your phone. If you were there, the audio-visual enjoyment would be so exaggerated!

As the melody rises and falls, six and a half minutes pass quickly.

At the moment the video paused, Nagasaki Suyo heard the sound of Yashio Rui's dream shattered.

Anyone who studies music doesn’t want to stand on the stage, attract everyone’s attention, and have all the audience fall in love with their music?

However, there can only be one person at the center of the spotlight. When you feel the overwhelming talent of others, you will clearly realize that that person is not you.

[Ruwei: I haven’t picked up the violin for a long time]

After the video, Yashio Ruyu sent this message.

[Rui: So, I haven’t seen him for a long time, but he doesn’t come to the teacher’s place often anyway.]

Ruwei: He learns so fast. After just a few days, the teacher has nothing left to teach him. I've never heard of anyone whose talent can be compared to his.

Nagasaki Suyo gently stroked the screen of her mobile phone with her fingertips, wanting to reply, but she didn't know what to say to comfort the other person.

People were so devastated that they gave up the violin. What else can I say?

Even if you cheer up, the objective talent gap will not disappear.

Simply not comforting.

She began to wonder how to get along with Hanadazaki Ame.

Such gifted people often have unique intellect, alternative perceptions of the world, and distinctive thinking. Because of this, they can easily become withdrawn and difficult to approach.

He's likely to be dictatorial and self-centered, not caring much about her feelings... Oh, just thinking about it makes me feel so stressed, my stomach hurts...

Nagasaki Suyo sighed deeply in her heart, holding her cell phone and staring at the ceiling in a trance.

Inexplicably, she thought of another familiar figure with long light blue hair tied in two ponytails. She was so gentle and considerate, innocent and flawless. Just standing next to her made her feel like she was bathed in spring breeze.

I really want to... go back to that time and feel that warmth again...

She was lost in thought for a while before coming to her senses.

After taking a look at the messages on her phone, Yashiro Ruyu asked her why she wanted to know about Hanadasaki Ue's information.

After thinking for a moment, Nagasaki Suyo answered truthfully.

[Su Shi: My mother is planning to remarry, and he might become my younger brother]

As expected, after seeing this message, Yashiro Ruwei was immediately interested and continued chatting with her.

This is how Nagasaki Suyo spent the boring evening time.

If there is no one to communicate with, she will be depressed all the time, just checking messages on various social apps, like a mobile phone addict. Then the more she checks, the more depressed and worried she becomes, and the more depressed she becomes, the more she checks, as if she is trapped in a vicious circle.

The floor she lived on was too high, so she rarely considered options like going downstairs for a walk or going shopping.

Of course, actually going downstairs wasn't that difficult, she just found a reason to convince herself.

After chatting for a long time, it was time for Yashiro Rui to go to bed, so I said good night to her and left.

Nagasaki Suyo, however, was not sleepy at all. She had been lying down too much during the holidays and her schedule was a little messed up.

After taking a quick look at tonight's chat history, she clicked on the video that Yashiro Ruyu sent her and listened to the magical violin sound.

After thinking about it, she stood up and got a pair of headphones to listen, while carefully observing the figure in the video.

The shooting angle was not directly facing Hanadazaki Ame, but from the side, but Hanadazaki Ame's appearance could be seen clearly.

He was extremely cute, with a unique charm that seemed to transcend his gender. He didn't look like a boy at all, but his talent was more dazzling than his appearance. She was so focused on listening to the music that she didn't look closely.

This kind of appearance should be very popular with girls, but it's not the kind of popularity that men and women would have. If you're not careful, you could easily become a male best friend. I wonder if he has a girlfriend...

After speculating for a long time, Nagasaki Suyo fell asleep on the sofa without realizing it.

She felt uneasy even in her dreams. It seemed as if a rain had trapped her. She wandered around the practice room, unable to chase the figures that were walking away in the rain.

The slightly ethereal sound of the piano floated down from above, tangled like rain...

At around five in the morning, when she woke up from the darkness, she silently took off her headphones.

I checked my phone and, as expected, it was out of battery.

Oh, trouble...

……

Mihama-ku, Akino 2-chome, Kaihin Makuhari Station.

There are many business buildings, hotels, and shopping malls nearby. To the south are leisure facilities such as Makuhari Messe and Chiba Marine Center. Whenever there are some events, this place is particularly lively. As a highly modern commercial district, it is also crowded with pedestrians and quite prosperous.

At around one o'clock in the afternoon, Nagasaki Suyo was already waiting near the station exit.

The agreed time was two o'clock. She came early and deliberately stood in an inconspicuous place, intending to wait for Hanada Qi Yu to come and observe him for a while before appearing.

Trains frequently arrive at the station and play the anthem of a nearby professional baseball team as they depart.

After listening to it twice, Nagasaki Suyo couldn't help but mutter under her breath.

"So earthy!"

I really don’t understand why they played the baseball team’s anthem. I haven’t heard that this team has a high winning rate!

While waiting, she kept looking down at her phone and contacted Hanada Qi Yu from time to time.

Hanada Qiyu said he was looking at houses, but he would arrive on time.

Nagasaki Suyo didn't know what he meant by looking at the house, so she just wrote it down and used it as a topic of conversation.

You need to prepare several of these topics, otherwise if he is rather taciturn, he will easily run out of things to say.

A few minutes before two o'clock, a car stopped near the station, the passenger door opened, and a touch of soft cherry pink jumped out.

Nagasaki Suyo couldn't help but look over and saw Hanata Qi Yu's figure in the distance.

He thanked the person who brought him here and then walked over here.

He looked cheerful and calm, not as withdrawn as she had imagined...

While thinking about it, Nagasaki Suyo was about to go up to him and say hello, but just as she was about to move, she stopped.

Someone is chatting up Hanadasaki Ame!

……

Chapter 7 Hanada Qiyu's unique skills!

The person standing in front of Hanada Qi Yu was a very lively-looking girl, probably a little younger than him, or maybe the same age. She had shoulder-length flaxen hair that didn't curl at the ends. She walked lightly, as if she was a jumping animal as she quickly stopped Hanada Qi Yu.

Then there was a vague conversation, as if someone was asking for directions, and Hanada Qiyu even pointed in a certain direction.

Nagasaki Suyo couldn't help but click her tongue when she saw this scene.

A guy who pretends to be cute!

As expected, the next thing to do was to ask for contact information.

Nagasaki Suyo subconsciously wanted to go over and interrupt her spell, but then she thought that this seemed to have little to do with her, so she just watched from a distance.

Fortunately, Hanada Qiyu knew that she had an appointment, so she didn’t talk for too long and said goodbye and left after a minute or two.

Nagasaki Suyo also saw that the woman was still looking at Hanada Qi Yu's back with an unsatisfied look, and she couldn't help but click her tongue again.

Haven’t you seen a boy before?!

She took a deep breath, adjusted her expression, and simply played with her long hair, then walked towards Hanadasaki Ame.

When Hanada Qiyu saw her, she showed a gentle expression with her well-honed squinting smile at the right moment, waved gently in greeting, and spoke softly.

"Hello, is this Hanada-kun? Sorry for the wait."

"Hello, I just arrived too."

Hanada Qiyu said something polite and nodded.

As expected, the person was similar to what he guessed, and his voice was a little hoarse, similar to the girl who was pretending to be cute just now.

He didn't dislike it. Some people liked authenticity and wanted to see their true nature, but he thought it was very interesting to see girls trying so hard to please him.

"I remember there's a nice cafe nearby. Let's go there and have a good chat."

After some simple pleasantries, he made the invitation.

He had been to Makuhari Beach many times, not because he was interested in the bustling commercial district here, but because he would stop by here to rest when he went to see the sea.

Although it is said to be a sea view, what you can see here is actually Tokyo Bay, which is calm and peaceful.

"OK, all right."

Nagasaki Suyo replied with a smile.

Then he followed Hanada Qiyu and walked towards the coffee shop.

She had previously thought that Hanada Qi Yu was petite and looked like a little boy, but when she got closer, she found that Hanada Qi Yu was a little shorter than her.

From a distance, the well-proportioned and perfect body proportions may cause a slight misjudgment.

"I heard from my mother that Hanada-kun is one year younger than me, but we are indeed in the same grade, right?"

She looked for topics to talk about and tried to chat. She unconsciously raised one of her hands holding the off-white handbag and gently twisted a strand of hair.

"Well, I started school early and originally wanted to skip a grade, but I realized that the environment after skipping a grade would have some negative impact on my growth, so I gave up the idea."

Hanada Qiyu replied casually. On the surface, his attitude towards this girl who might become his sister was still quite polite.

Nagasaki Suyo is studying in a girls' school. After the research institute is completed, I guess we won't have much interaction with each other. It will be enough to maintain a certain level of understanding. There is no need to spend too much time improving the relationship.

However, he was also thinking about another question.

His ability to observe or deduce future possibilities... well, let's call it simulation for now. He should be able to simulate the future with Nagasaki Motoyo, right?

Simulations require a certain level of contact with others before they can be used. He understands this as the collection of information, just as it captured countless strange pieces of information for him during its growth. Only with a large amount of information as a foundation can the simulation be credible enough.

However, the last time I simulated my future with Nibutani Morika, we started out as lovers and then got married. Would it be the same for Nagasaki Motoyo?

This is not good. He is a man of noble character. How could he be involved with his own sister, even if she is not his biological sister?

...Forget it, I won’t pretend anymore. It’s just a simulation. I’ll just do it. He doesn’t care!

While he was distracted and thinking, Nagasaki Suyo asked with a little curiosity.

“What negative impact will there be?”

"Environment shapes a person. When one lacks the ability to maintain self-respect, the first thing to consider is staying in an environment that is superficially similar to oneself. In other words...stay in your comfort zone."

Hanada Qiyu said lightly.

The purpose of skipping grades is to adapt to one's own learning progress and obtain a better educational environment, but for him, it doesn't make any difference unless he skips grades directly to enter university.

But why is his life so hurried! ?

Which gear is he, spinning like crazy to keep up with society's expectations of his talent?
