Chapter 163 Ninomiya's Fatigue
At 10:30 pm, Kurosawa Hikaru took an envelope, left the high-end apartment, and set out on the road home.
Not long after, he got on the tram and took out his mobile phone to read it.
There was a message in the group chat, which was sent by Miss Runa at around 4 pm.
Runa: "Zero time, the organizer of a piano competition contacted me and hoped that you would be a special guest to close the competition. Are you interested?"
Zero time: "When?"
Runa: "Next Monday."
Zero time: "So soon?"
Chizuru: "Next Tuesday is the final exam, and he still has to prepare for the exam."
Obviously, even if she was busy preparing for the final exam next week, Ninomiya Chizuru couldn't sit still.
Runa: "I know, Chizuru, don't worry. I have specifically asked about this game and have thought about it seriously. I think this game is not to be missed."
Zero: "Why?"
Runa: "At present, as Zero, you have become famous on YouTube with one song and have accumulated a lot of fans. Many fans praise you as the No. 1 pianist in Japan because you introduced yourself in Japanese.
There are many people who are dissatisfied with this statement, which has caused controversy and dissatisfaction with you. It doesn't matter... But because you have been very popular recently and your fame is rising rapidly, you have been noticed by Kawai.
Kawai is a company that mainly produces and sells Shigeru Kawai grand piano is one of the world's top ten pianos and the only top piano produced in Japan.
They hold various competitions every year to promote and publicize pianos and cultivate talents.
Monday is the final of the Japanese division of this year's youth competition, which has a great influence and high exposure. If you play "Croatian Rhapsody" at the end, it is very likely to take this as a springboard to soar to the sky and become an idol of the new generation of young piano students. "
As an agent, Igarashi Runa is very good at packaging and operation, and has a sharp eye to judge various activities, stages, and programs.
That's why she decided to make this invitation after she learned the truth.
According to the original plan, the first concert at midnight was to continue uploading piano music on youtobe, up to ten or more, to promote and publicize the piano album.
But plans can't keep up with changes, her intuition is very strong, and this opportunity is a good opportunity that cannot be missed.
"When will I appear on stage?"
Kurosawa Hikaru realized what was involved in this competition and was a little moved.
Runa: "Between 8pm and 9pm, when the last contestant has finished performing, you will appear as a special guest and play a song to close the competition. And bless the piano students in Japan, hoping that they can achieve good results in the Asian competition."
"I won't show up."
Kurosawa felt that some things must be made clear first.
If the organizer wanted him to show up, he would never agree.
Runa sent an OK expression, and then sent a message: "Don't worry, I have already negotiated with them about this matter. They are very sincere. At first, they wanted you to be the guest of the opening ceremony, but I said you couldn't spare the time and you would have time in the evening, so it was changed to the closing ceremony."
"Come on." Seeing this, Ninomiya Chizuru realized that this was not an ordinary competition, and she stopped blocking it.
"Then it's decided."
Kurosawa Hikaru saw that she also agreed, and immediately agreed.
Igarashi Runa, who was at home, was also a little excited when she saw this:
"Zero hour, if you can amaze the audience in this game, my intuition tells me that Kawai is likely to choose you as the spokesperson because of this performance, and it will definitely be a win-win top cooperation."
"No problem."
Kurosawa Hikari could feel her excitement from her words, and he also guaranteed it.
He was absolutely confident in his own state.
"Since it's settled, I will go to Kawai's company tomorrow to discuss the details. After finalizing the matters, I will start to promote it."
Runa decided to mobilize his own resources to contribute to this competition. This will definitely be a win-win cooperation and activity.
After arranging the schedule for next Monday, Kurosawa Hikari switched to Ninomiya Chizuru's chat page.
"Are you done?"
"How can I be done? There are still many things to prepare."
"Next Monday, can you go to the scene to watch my performance?"
For the first public performance, Kurosawa Hikari really hopes that she can come to see it.
After all, his piano skills were acquired by dating her, which shows that she likes piano very much.
"Yes."
"What about the sketching on Saturday? Can you come with me?"
"Yes."
Chizuru Ninomiya's two answers were simple.
"Keep busy, the train is about to arrive, I'll go home."
After receiving her affirmation, Kurosawa Hikaru smiled and typed.
"Be safe."
In an apartment in Tokyo, Chizuru Ninomiya sat in front of the computer. After sending the message, she turned her attention back to the laptop in front of her.
As a teacher, in addition to Kurosawa Hikaru, there are dozens of students in the Ninomiya group who need her to follow up and pay attention.
A semester is coming to an end, and she has a lot of personal reports to write.
For example, she needs to fill out information for students in the group and apply for scholarships.
Maybe the scholarship for second-year students is only about 100,000 yen a year, but the outstanding performance of being able to win the scholarship will be of great help to the students' resume.
"call……"
Looking at the document on the screen, Ninomiya Chizuru took off her rimless glasses, pinched the bridge of her nose to relieve fatigue, and took a few deep breaths.
Then, she put on her glasses again, took a sip of coffee, and continued to immerse herself in her work.
Her personality is relatively reserved and she is not good at expressing her true thoughts.
Originally, she had to work overtime for her date on Saturday to make up for the workload that day... Now she had to go to the piano competition on Monday night. Although she wouldn't go for long, she still had less time.
…
Kurosawa Hikaru just walked into the house, took off his shoes, sat down in front of the sofa, and just took out his mobile phone.
"Brother Guang, are you back home?" As soon as he opened the chat interface, Xiao Yuki sent a message.
"Did you calculate my return time accurately?"
Kurosawa Hikaru was a little surprised to find that her message came so cleverly and on time.
Xiao Yuki: "Because you always used this time, 10:50."
"You are smarter than I thought, and you are quite good at paying attention to details." The corner of Kurosawa Hikaru's mouth raised an arc.
Sometimes, the small details between two people are easily overlooked.
Being noticed makes people happy and makes them feel valued.
It's like others remember what you like to eat and what you don't like to eat.
"Ah... Brother Guang, are you trying to beat around the bush and say I'm stupid?"
"How come, you are so smart."
"Hehe Brother Guang has been in class for a day and has to work part-time. You must be tired, right? Go to bed early."
"Are you going to drive me to rest?"
"Because you are about to take the exam. When you have summer vacation, we can play together again!"
"Don't you have to go play together on Saturday?"
"Of course, but you are quite busy now."
"Okay, I will take you to various places during the summer vacation."
"Then it's settled Good night, Mua."
"Good night."
"Where's the kiss?"
"Mua." Kurosawa Hikaru was amused by her, and he was also the one who typed up the text version of the kiss.
This girl really cares about small details.
…
On Friday, because next week is the final exam, the learning atmosphere on Dongda University is more solemn than usual.
The chatter like gossip became less and less, and everyone began to read books and prepare for the exam.
Even if it is a school like Tokyo University with a great learning atmosphere, when exams are approaching, you will still feel more nervous and work harder than usual.
Of course, not everyone is like this.
For example, Kurosawa Hikaru came to the classroom early in the morning. His expression was very relaxed and he was in a happy mood.
"With such ease, are you confident about the final exam next week?"
Miyazaki Yuta was also reading a book. When he saw him sitting next to him, he looked carefully at his mental state and couldn't help but ask.
"Not sure." Kurosawa Hikaru shook his head.
He has been very busy recently, even though he is at school every week, studying and taking classes seriously.
But between classes, after school, and on weekends, I can no longer read as much as I did before, forgetting food and sleep.
"Looking at your expression, I know you are very confident... Please don't do this. Every time you say you are not sure, you end up doing extremely well in the exam every time."
Miyazaki Yuta couldn't help but muttered when she noticed that he said this again.
This guy is very scary, and he is very enthusiastic about learning... Although in the past few weeks, maybe because he has a girlfriend, he no longer reads books in class and after class.
But his intuition told him that Kurosawa Hikari was definitely somewhere he couldn't see, reading hard and constantly learning and making progress.
"I'd like to lend you some good words."
Kurosawa put his school bag away and smiled.
Perhaps his expression was relaxed and he seemed to be in a happy mood, but this was not because he was confident at all, but because he looked away.
Nowadays, he has found a new path in life, and he is no longer the academic master who studied crazily in order to find a good job after graduation.
Masked pianist and archery, these are the two paths before him. No matter which one he chooses, he won't need to worry about making money in the future.
Of course, there are still exams, but they are not as extreme as before.
"Speaking of which, I met Ninomiya-sensei this morning, and I think she looks particularly beautiful today."
Miyazaki Yuta, who was reading a book, suddenly remembered something and said.
"When is she not beautiful?"
Kurosawa Hikaru heard this and didn't take it seriously.
Miss Ninomiya is very beautiful, isn't that something everyone knows?
"No, it may be because of the final exam. She feels particularly tired today. Her expression is not like usual, less cold and more tired... giving people an impulse to protect her. ”
Yuta Miyazaki shook his head and explained.
"And there's this thing..."
Kurosawa Hikaru frowned when he heard this.
I am particularly tired. Is it because I have to make time for a date tomorrow and work overtime?
"If you don't believe it, you can go to the teacher's office and have a look. She has never been in this situation before."
Miyazaki Yuta thought he didn't believe it, so she simply pushed him with her arm and encouraged him.
"I'll go take a look when I get the chance, and read a hundred times..."
Kurosawa Hikaru realized this, nodded, and then looked at him, word by word.
"I know."
Miyazaki Yuta found that he was doing the same thing again, and shrugged helplessly.
He also knew this truth, but when a man meets a beautiful woman, how can he not take a few more glances?
