Since the start of school, Touma Kazusa has basically only talked to Yoshihoshi.
In Class A, she could only remember three people.
Besides Yohoshi, there are Yuigahama Yui and Yotsuya Miko.
This is because those two girls formed a club with Ye Xing, otherwise she would not be able to remember it.
Touma and Sa's mind went blank, and she didn't know where to put her hands...
Oh, her hand was in Yexing's hand.
That's fine.
"Yes, that's it. Move your middle finger and ring finger about three millimeters apart..."
The red-clothed female ghost swept away her previous timid look and spoke very seriously.
Under Yexing's manipulation, Touma and Sa suddenly came back to their senses.
"Is this... are you correcting my playing posture?"
"Not me either."
Ye Xing did not covet the credit and smiled.
"It's the ghost girl who watched you play the piano every day and then started playing it herself."
"Female...ghost?"
Touma and Sa were stunned for a moment.
Yes.
The piano can't play itself.
Since the sound of the piano can be heard, doesn't that mean that something that we can't see is playing the music?
Touma and Sa's pupils shrank in shock.
"There are really ghosts in this world?"
Ye Xing complained speechlessly.
"No, your reaction time is too long."
Touma Kazusa is indeed a true piano genius.
She was born to be a pianist.
Not only has top talent.
And there is this kind of perseverance and purity that allows one to devote oneself to the performance wholeheartedly once one starts playing, and not even think about the supernatural events that happen around them.
That being said...
But when Ye Xing looked at Touma Hesa who had a surprised look on her face, he always felt that this girl with long black straight hair seemed a bit silly and cute?
"So that's it."
After Yexing pulled her hand back, Touma Hesa felt a sense of inexplicable loss in her heart, but she was now more concerned about her adjusted playing posture.
She tried to press a few keys, her lips slightly parted, and said in surprise.
"This this..."
"Humph."
The female ghost in red crossed her arms over her chest, looking very proud.
"There's actually nothing wrong with the kid's original fingering technique."
Ye Xing knew what the other party wanted to hear at this time.
Since this female ghost in red helped Touma and Sa, he didn't mind cooperating with her and making her happy.
After all, the dead are the greatest.
Ye Xing deliberately acted puzzled and curious.
"If there is no problem, why make adjustments?"
This is exactly the reaction that the female ghost in red wants to see.
She looked very satisfied and did not continue to keep people in suspense. Instead, she started to explain directly.
"There is nothing wrong with the original way of playing, but the child plays the piano for too long every day, at least ten hours."
"If you're just playing, you just need to pay attention to the fingering and not let it affect pressing the keys."
"But playing with this fingering for a long time will cause great harm to her hands."
"Forget about becoming a world-class pianist. If she continues like this, her hands will be crippled in less than two years."
"After my correction, the damage to her hands caused by playing for a long time was effectively alleviated."
"But you still have to tell this child that her training frequency and intensity are too high. It is completely beyond the endurance limit of her hands. She needs to combine work and rest."
Yexing relayed the red-clothed female ghost's words to Touma Hesa verbatim.
During the first few sentences, Touma Hesa kept nodding her head, looking as if she agreed with them.
But when she heard the last sentence, which was to let her combine work and rest, she bit her lower lip lightly, with a complex look in her eyes, and sighed softly, as if she was explaining to Ye Xing and the female ghost in red, or as if she was muttering to herself.
"I...I must catch up with her. If I catch up with her...I will...maybe...I can..."
Touma Kazusa muttered quietly, stole a glance at Yexing, sorted out her emotions, and returned to her cold and calm demeanor once again.
"Please thank that senior for me."
Yexing waved his hand.
"No need to do that, she can hear you talking."
The female ghost in red nodded and smiled.
"You're welcome. The reason why I helped her is simple."
The female ghost in red walked to the front of the piano and placed her left hand on the black and white keys, her movements gentle and slow, as if she was caressing her lover's skin.
“I once wanted to be a world-class pianist.”
"It's a pity that no matter how hard I try, my talent can never reach that level."
The red-clothed female ghost's tone sounded somewhat sad, but more of it was a reluctance to leave.
"But this child has a talent that I never had, which is enough to make him a top performer."
"And I also see her efforts."
Having said this, the female ghost in red paused.
Her body gradually became transparent.
Before disappearing, he only left behind two final sentences.
"Tell her that I hope this piano can one day appear on a world-class stage with her."
"Let her finish what I have never finished."
As the words fell, the body of the red-clothed female ghost completely dissipated.
Ye Xing knew that the other party was the same as Yotsuya Miko's father.
The obsession in this world has been fulfilled and the soul has passed away.
Yexing truthfully told Touma Hesa the last few words left by the red-clothed female ghost.
After listening to this, the latter's eyes revealed a complex look. He used the same action as the female ghost in red, gently stroking the black and white piano keys in front of him, muttering to himself.
"Can I...really do this?"
Hearing Touma and Sa's self-doubt, Yexing smiled nonchalantly.
"If everyone says you can do it, then you definitely can do it."
Upon hearing this, Touma Kazusa rarely smiled.
"Yeah, I didn't expect that my first supporter would be a goblin."
"How can it be the first one? It's obviously the second one."
Touma and Sa were stunned for a moment and asked in confusion.
"The second one? Then the first one is...?"
Yexing smiled.
"Of course it's me. I've always supported you."
Dong Ma He Sha's pretty face turned slightly red. She lowered her head and didn't want Ye Xing to see her expression, and said angrily.
"Stupid, don't say stupid things all of a sudden. You didn't even know I could play the piano."
"I know that very well."
Touma and Sa did not continue the topic, but stood up, closed the piano lid, looked at Ye Xing's face, hesitated slightly, and finally couldn't help but speak.
"The can of drink on the entrance of your house is..."
""right."
Without Touma and Sa having to finish their question, Yexing answered without any reservation.
"It's the one you gave me."
"why?"
"what why?"
Dong Ma He Sha pursed her lips, and a complex look flashed in her eyes.
"Aren't you...disgusted with the gift I gave you? And you even gave a speech about it."
Yexing smiled.
"Yes, Pepsi-Cola, still at room temperature. It can be called the drink I hate the most."
Hearing that the gift she gave was so despised by him, Touma Hesa's expression became a little unhappy and she snorted coldly.
"If you don't like it so much, why don't you just throw it away?"
"How about that?"
Yexing shook her head, looked Touma and Sa in the eyes, and smiled.
"I don't like the gift itself, but I like the person who gave it."
Touma and Sa were stunned.
After a few seconds, a shy blush gradually appeared on her fair face.
Those slender and delicate eyes revealed the confusion of being hit by a straight ball, as well as a bit of unexpected surprise.
Did I...hear it wrong?
Sort out the logic.
That can of Pepsi was indeed a gift from myself to the other person on the first day of school, isn't that right?
In other words.
The person who sent the gift that Ye Xing was referring to was me, so that must be correct, right?
What the other party meant was...
He liked himself so much that he kept the can of Pepsi?
Being suddenly confronted with such a direct attack, Touma Kazusa, who had never had any contact with men of the same age... no, had never had any contact with anyone else, was caught off guard.
At the same time, she also felt an indescribable bitterness in her heart.
I'm not feeling jealous towards the girls around Yohoshi, such as Futaba Rio, Sakurajima Mai, Yuigahama Yui, and Yotsuya Miko.
Touma and Sa just think, are they really worthy of each other?
She wasn't quite sure about Ye Xing's reputation in the school.
Because of her family environment, Touma Kazusa has a very strange sense of inferiority, and her personality is so complicated that it can be called twisted.
