"Stop talking nonsense, you record player! Play for me!"
Perhaps because there was no one else around, the fluctuations in Yin's tone and attitude became somewhat obvious, which made Xi Wang think of the days when he played together with everyone... Speaking of which, he heard from others that Yin had originally wanted to give him a shamisen. It seemed that Yin really liked this musical instrument, but later for various reasons, she did not give it to him directly.
Now, she can ask Xi Wang to play the shamisen directly, and she can also directly order songs, which can be regarded as fulfilling her original wish.
Moreover, Xiwang could also sense that Yin's expression contained a hint of anxiety and boredom. It was obvious that she had encountered many things and felt a lot of pressure after she came back... Well, it was a good opportunity to comfort her a little at this time.
So, after briefly familiarizing himself with how to play the shamisen and trying out the sound, Xiwang slowly began to play the tune specified by Yin.
Time passed slowly, and Yin gradually stopped talking and just quietly enjoyed Xiwang's performance.
???~
Everything around became peaceful, leaving only the sound of Xiwang playing the music, the song she was humming, the occasional breeze, and the occasional falling cherry blossom petals.
But... Sakura...?
Xi Wang, who was still playing, glanced at the light pink petals falling from time to time outside the window, then looked at the complete cherry blossom that she had placed on the table, and subconsciously thought of the girl who looked like a cherry blossom and even had the name "Yakura".
It's quite fitting...this name.
Xi Wang's mouth curled up slightly - he had some inspiration again.
However...the production of this song will have to be postponed for a while.
…………
………………
At night, after seeing Xi Wang off, Yin sat silently in his seat.
"...Someone come."
After closing his eyes and thinking for a while, Yin seemed to have sorted out some things, and then spoke expressionlessly.
"Miss."
"I remember that organization wanted to ask us for people...right?"
"Yes, they took a fancy to some of our people, so they wanted to exchange with us..."
"No need to change. Use money to exchange for their deal. Tell them that we are willing to help them invest in a new training ground and arrange some safe houses for them in the Far East."
"Ah? Miss, this is not a good deal, right?"
"You are questioning my decision?"
Yin glanced at him briefly, his tone was calm and even his eyes didn't change much.
"Don't dare."
The man lowered his head quickly.
"Find our products that are on the market, not the ones that are of low quality or have problems, and then go to [Record Player] and ask him for an endorsement and advertisement. He will take it... He will help us make back the money we lose in this regard."
"……Is it really possible?"
"Heh...just wait and see, his value will increase in the future."
Yin chuckled rarely, and then his eyes, which had been calm before, turned cold in an instant, and his tone became full of danger.
"I'll say it again, don't question my decision. Since I took over, have I ever caused the family to suffer losses?"
"……Feel sorry."
"Go do your own thing."
"Yes."
After waving his hand casually and sending his men away, Yin shifted his gaze to the computer in front of him, his mind briefly empty for a moment.
"Model... This career is not bad. Hmm... When the time comes, should I ask the lover of the record player for a fashion design job..."
Yin muttered to himself softly, while unconsciously controlling the computer and calling up a communication... The latest news in it was a photo of Yin's parents, with a snowy field in the background.
"...These two old guys left everything to me and then went to travel around the world... That's too much."
When she thought of this, Yin Shao gritted her teeth... Her dear father and mother no longer existed on the day when all family affairs were placed on her. Now there are only two "old guys" in the world who travel everywhere and keep sending photos to her to show off.
but……
Yin glanced at the shamisen placed aside, recalling the tune that Xiwang had played before... Although it was a little different from what his parents played, it also had a different flavor.
"Ugh……"
Forget it, let them have fun.
Chapter 5484 Eden: I'm drunk~You have to take responsibility~ ()
[Perhaps it was because of the inexplicable thoughts in your heart, perhaps it was because the Yin you were familiar with was here, or perhaps it was because... that cherry blossom-like girl you seemed to be somewhat familiar with, you stayed in the Far East for a long time, longer than any other place you had been to before.]
[As usual, you stroll along the streets, choose a suitable place to stop and play, often attracting a large number of people to stop and watch... But most of the time, you prefer to stay in the park. This is the season when cherry blossoms are in full bloom. In the slightly cold wind, your song falls with the pale pink petals and drifts away with the wind.]
[Somehow, you are always lucky enough to have a few complete cherry blossoms fall by your side, and they are all brought to you by the wind by chance, or stay by your side, or stay on your shoulder, with some pale white petals falling on your head, always making people feel that you are about to be drowned by the cherry blossom petals]
[The faint floral scent lingers around you along with your cheerful mood, and sometimes gives people the illusion that you have walked out of a dream or a painting]
[Such beautiful scenery was naturally photographed, recorded, and uploaded to the Internet, adding some popularity to you]
[Come to think of it, you took a photo and sent it to Eden. The way you were covered in flower petals gave Eden some inspiration for the design... At this time, she even sighed that if you were a girl, you would probably be mistaken for the legendary "fairy" by now.]
[Eden's teasing left you speechless. As a counterattack, you told her that if she wanted, it was okay for her to change into women's clothes... Isn't it just a special performance costume? What's there to be shy about?]
[Your words were affirmed by Eden, who said that if you meet again in the future, he could design a set of performance clothes for you. Hmm... I always feel like you were tricked, but it doesn't matter.]
[You stayed in the Far East for a while, and met Lu who came to visit Yin... Then, as expected, you, the "record player", were caught and made to sing again.]
[You are quite happy, after all, you see them again]
[It’s just… I don’t know if Gin did it on purpose, but ever since that day when you showed some interest in the girl named Sakura, she has often brought Sakura with her. Especially when she meets you, you can almost always see Sakura beside her, which makes you feel a little confused.]
[Although the reason given by Gin was that he discovered Sakura's ability and found her very suitable as a personal bodyguard, and she also had good dim sum skills and decent Sakura wine, Gin liked her very much, so he often brought Sakura with him.]
[But when Yin said this, you clearly noticed that Ying's eyes had some subtle "unable to hold back" feeling. Obviously, what Yin said was not entirely true, but you didn't care. Instead, you were more concerned about what kind of snacks she liked.]
[You know, when you were still living under the same roof, you also learned a few tricks from your fellow chefs, so that you could cook some small snacks for everyone... Now, why not learn another trick? ]
[Honestly, Yin and Li are both helpless. Although most of what he said just now is true, it is obvious that Yin used words to deal with you. But you took it seriously and even planned to learn it enthusiastically... I really don’t know what to say to you.]
[And the reason you gave is quite sufficient - you can secretly send two copies to Yin in the future to test your craftsmanship. When you are good enough, you can go back and make it for Eden.]
[Well... learning cooking for your lover and giving him a surprise after learning it is a normal reason, but you actually treated Yin and Li as food tasters. You are really brave, and they started to play around with you again.]
[However, this gives you a reason to get close to Sakura, and you can act with her... um, in the kitchen.]
[Ying was a little stunned for a moment. She couldn't figure out why she suddenly went from being a thug at the bottom of the organization to being the personal bodyguard of the "master of the house", and then turned around and became a pastry chef.]
[But she understood one thing - all these changes must be because of you, and the care that the "master of the family" gave her was also because of you.]
[She will subconsciously have some respect and fear for you at the beginning, and keep a clear distance from you. After all, no matter what, you are the friend of the "master of the house", and your identities and classes are different, so she should remain humble in front of you]
[But as you spend more time together, Sakura will always unconsciously let go of that sense of distance, and will unconsciously get closer to you, and do some... um... more presumptuous actions.]
[She doesn’t quite understand. She’s been very careful and has been telling herself to be respectful to you and at least keep some distance. But… for some reason, she always wants to get closer to you. Sometimes, by the time she realizes what’s going on, she’s already very close to you.]
[It's so strange, it's as if Sakura's heart and body don't resist being close to you, which is seriously inconsistent with her vigilance as a woman and a warrior. More importantly, Sakura finds that she doesn't resist this feeling.]
[Sakura always feels like something is wrong with her...]
[You didn't react much to this... Just like you said before, you don't want to restrict yourself, and you won't be too restrained in expressing your emotions. You found yourself inexplicably familiar with Sakura, so you simply showed her a friendly attitude, and unconsciously, you also acted close to her, not like you just met, but friends you have known for a long time.]
[Of course, the most important thing is to learn how to make Sakura's desserts... After all, we agreed to make them for Eden, so we can't break our promise.]
[Sakura is best at making a small snack called "Sakura Balls", as well as some cherry blossom cakes, which have a soft and glutinous texture and a light floral fragrance lingering on the lips and teeth. The light sweetness flows into the throat, bringing the brain a unique pleasure of sugar]
[However, you learned to make such desserts very quickly. You made them quite well without even trying. This surprised Sakura a little because you learned really quickly. It didn’t look like you were learning for the first time at all. She also tasted the final result, which was almost exactly the same as what she made, except that it tasted a little sweeter, but that was not a big problem.]
[What's more, the taste is slightly sweet, which is probably because you prefer sweet taste, so it's not a big problem to make some reasonable modifications]
[However, just when you wanted to tell Eden the good news and give her a little surprise, you found out that Eden had terminated her contract with her agency.]
--------
At this moment, the sun was gradually setting in the west, and the sunlight was moving slowly from directly above, gradually lengthening the shadows of everyone.
At the seaside, the sea breeze mixed with a slightly salty and humid smell blows gently, dispelling the afternoon heat.
Xiwang and Eden walked side by side along the coastal road, listening to the happy sounds of people playing on the beach, watching the cars slowly passing by, and feeling the sea breeze gently blowing around them.
The seaside... This is the place Xiwang likes, and it is also the place Yiden likes, because it was here that the distance between her and him was most obviously shortened for the second time... The first time was because of music, which allowed them to meet each other and know each other.
But at this moment, facing such a beautiful scenery, there was no joy on their faces. For what happened before, there was no sadness or anger on their faces. They were just calm and quietly enjoying the time with him/her by their side.
"...Xiwang, aren't you curious? I terminated my contract with the agency or something."
Once again, he saw passers-by exclaiming and greeting Xiwang. Obviously, it was another fan who recognized him. Eden asked with some bitterness and helplessness.
"No, because I know that they must not understand your insistence, and then there is a disagreement, right?"
Xi Wang first waved politely to the fans, then gestured to Eden beside him, refusing their intention to come forward for a photo. Then he turned around, looked at her beside him with a smile, and said softly.
"Ah... Really, I always feel that sometimes knowing too much is not a good thing. You know a lot of things without even having to say them out loud. It's so difficult to complain even if I want to..."
As Eden spoke, he turned his eyes away, his head towards the sea, not looking at Xiwang, and seemed to be a little angry.
"You can tell me even if it's like this, right? If you tell me about your unhappy things, they'll be half as bad, right~"
Xiwang quietly reached out his hand and lightly touched the palm of Eden's hand with his fingertips. When he saw that her hands behind her back were loosened, he also smiled and moved his fingertips down from her wrist, palm facing hers, and held her hand.
"I'm not particularly unhappy..."
Eden obviously noticed his actions, the corner of his mouth raised slightly, and he returned to the front, slightly adjusted his steps, and subconsciously shortened the distance between him and him, then sighed and said helplessly.
"I just feel a little bit hit...My manager and seniors all said that no one listens to classical music anymore, and there is no market for opera...No one likes these anymore, but I still insist...They all say I am a little unreasonable."
"Although I can sing pop music, but...compared to that, I would rather continue my persistence."
“Classical music, opera, poetry… these are the unique sedimentation of past events, the crystallization of human civilization through art. We can often get a glimpse of history from them, which are brilliant, dazzling and beautiful… but now it seems that no one likes these.”
Eden sighed helplessly, and his golden eyes subconsciously glanced at Xiwang beside him. Seeing that he was still listening quietly, he spoke with a hint of bitterness.
"Sometimes I wonder if I should sing the songs that everyone likes, just like Xiwang..."
"Hmm? Why?"
"It's very simple... because Xiwang, you are now... a big celebrity. There are fans greeting you when you walk on the street..."
There was a hint of jealousy in Eden's words, but it quickly disappeared without a trace.
"You stood on that shining stage before me..."
“Is it on the Internet?”
"That counts, right?"
"So... Eden is a little envious?"
"A little bit, and I always feel that if this continues... my light will be overshadowed by you."
Eden shrugged and said with a little sadness.
"I want to be with you..."
At the end, she lowered her voice again and spoke to herself in a faint voice that only she could hear.
"No, Eden, you are more dazzling than me."
"Please stop teasing me."
"I was serious."
Xiwang said softly.
"Eden, can you tell me what you think now?"
"Of course I want to keep going, and let everyone know the beauty I see, but..."
