She made some slight adjustments and then started to play. The slightly sad sound of the piano flowed through her dexterous hands. Only the classic version of Canon could accurately describe her mood at the moment.
The chords in Canon are one chord following the previous one and never intersecting.
The left and right hands always slowly approach each other, then slowly move away, and then approach each other again, never meeting.
Just like this simulation, two feelings can only be transformed into one relationship. She and Toyokawa Yushin are destined to be two parallel lines with no other direction.
After playing the song, she felt a little better. If it weren't for the fact that the other person was about to die, he would at least have to endure a day of cold violence against her.
Forget it, let’s sing a cheerful version of “Canon” to change the mood.
"Is this what you're looking for?"
Someone handed her the music sheet she wanted.
She took it and thanked him casually: "Thank you for the stockings."
Then she realized something was wrong and looked up. Toyokawa Yushin was standing in front of her, looking at her quietly.
"You play so sadly, as if I did something wrong. You are sadder than sadness. I am kind-hearted and cannot bear to see a beautiful girl cry. I am giving you a chance to play a four-hand piano duet with me. If you are happy, the incident just now might turn into Oblivionis."
"Can you play it? Stop trying to be cool. And what's the meaning of 'Oblivionis'?"
She reluctantly gave him a seat. Feeling the touch that he hadn't experienced for a long time, Toyokawa Yushin sighed in his heart. The story of "The King of Electronic Music of the Cowherd" seemed to have happened just yesterday. The hero's old age does not mean that his skills are rusty.
"Can you really play it? Dad, your hands and feet are so uncoordinated, and you still want to play the piano? Play one for me and see."
“I really played it!”
"Play!"
Toyokawa Shoko urged him excitedly, thinking that there was finally a way to make fun of Toyokawa Yushin, to beat him hard once, and to make him soft for once.
"It's embarrassing!"
Changing from his previous clumsiness, Toyokawa Yushin's slender fingers danced gracefully on the keys. His skillful technique made Toyokawa Shoko unbelievable, and the beautiful melody ruined her dream of becoming a godfather.
Showing off his skills, he asked a pointed question: "How is it? How would Teacher Daxiang rate it?"
"If you play alone, you get 0 points. If I play alone, you get 100 points. If you play with me, we get 100 points together."
"Then I really have to thank Teacher Daxiang for letting me appreciate the beauty of music." Toyokawa Yushin looked regretful.
Others may receive fair evaluation from Toyokawa Shoko, but Toyokawa Yushin's words will never be recognized by Toyokawa Shoko.
"Sit closer. The distance between us would take two and a half years to fly by warp ship. Let's just sit next to each other."
Shoko Toyokawa directed him to adjust his position, and after the adjustment was completed, she quickly kicked off the four-hand piano duet.
The style changed to a cheerful version of the melody, and the four hands jumped and crossed on the keys, coordinating perfectly for the first time. The eyes of the father and daughter occasionally met, and they knew each other's rhythm and intentions without words.
When playing a certain variation, the four hands paused at the same time, and then continued at the same time in tacit understanding.
Seeing such a telepathic scene, Xiangzi felt that a flower belonging to him had bloomed in his heart. A ship named Toyokawa Xiang was sunk by a deep-sea Yushin-type torpedo.
The warm sunlight shone on them through the window. The five minutes and twenty-two seconds of warmth and comfort melted away the sadness in Toyokawa Shoko's heart without a trace.
"Still playing?"
After asking this question, Toyokawa Yushin drank some water and sat in a chair to recover his strength.
"Play, let me see the next song, let's play 'Wedding in a Dream'."
Xiangzi didn't know how she managed to say the name under the other person's scrutinizing gaze. Perhaps it was the urgency of death chasing her from behind, or perhaps it was the atmosphere that gave her extra courage.
"Row."
Toyokawa Yushin's agreement made her feel relieved. Opportunities are rare and will never come again. If she misses this opportunity, she will never have it again. The piano music started again...
At sunset, Toyokawa Yushin felt that his life was about to end. He took out the candy he had prepared long ago and threw it over.
Xiangzi caught it in a panic, "What is this?"
"Sugar, it should be your favorite flavor. Go to bed early. I'm going on a long journey tomorrow. If you overslept, don't blame me for it. I won't be able to refute you then. You can say whatever you want."
He shrugged, said this and turned away.
The day that countless people had been looking forward to finally arrived, and Toyokawa Yushin arrived at Toyokawa Mizuho's ward early.
"Are you here so early? Yushin."
The rosy-faced wife held her chin and stared at the man who was putting flowers in the vase and watering them. He didn't look as energetic as before, so if he had to be discharged from the hospital, she would be the one to take good care of him.
He placed the vase and replied with a smile, "I may have something to take care of later, so I had to come see you early. I hope Lady Mizuho can forgive my offense."
"Hmph, why would I disagree? You've taken care of me for so long, and if I don't even give you this little bit of time, the gods will probably label me a mean woman."
"What are you talking about? Why do you have to be so clear about the difference between accompanying and not accompanying? When I accompany you, you are also accompanying me."
After saying that, he gave her a passionate kiss, hoping to dispel her thoughts.
After they separated, Toyokawa Mizuho was still not satisfied and continued to ask for more: "I want more!"
"Greedy child." The two shadows overlapped again.
"Then I'm going to take care of some things first. If you have any questions, just go to Xiangzi and my father-in-law."
"Just go ahead, I'm not really a child."
Mizuho Toyokawa pushed him, and he closed the door and quickly left the small white room.
Asano Yushin couldn't pretend anymore. His body was almost at its limit. He had to rest for a long time just to climb the stairs. If there was no elevator, he might not even have the strength to arrange flowers.
He walked out of the first floor of Youming Cancer Hospital, where Xiangzi and Hemu had been waiting for a long time.
Their outfits are all very refreshing, white dresses with sun hats, which are fresh and pure and can show the youthful vitality unique to girls.
Toyokawa Sadaharu, who was standing behind him, saw him forcing a smile, and the deep sadness in his eyes made Toyokawa Yushin feel a little bit of pity deep in his heart.
Was his death too cruel for this poor old man?
"Let's go and chat while we walk. It's still a long time before the agreed time."
Yushin Toyokawa took a deep breath, took his two daughters' hands, and ran to the place where he would die.
"Father-in-law, please."
Toyokawa Sadaharu walked up to him, carefully combed his messy hair with his hands, touched his son-in-law's head, and agreed: "Okay, I'll keep an eye on Mizuho and don't let her run around."
"Don't be so sentimental, let's talk about some interesting things that happened between us as father and daughter."
Toyokawa Yushin no longer avoided calling him by his name. At this point, such details were harmless.
He slowed down his pace and calculated the time. What he had promised the god of death was not a grand death, but an ordinary departure.
Xiangzi was the first to speak: "Dad, did you secretly log into my game account to lure a few strong men to help you complete the dungeon? As soon as I logged in, several strangers clamored to invite me. I'm so uneasy."
Toyokawa Yushin gave an awkward yet polite smile, "If I had known earlier, I would have cleaned up the login records."
Mu also spoke up: "I think I saw you catching leaf miners in my cucumber field and putting them in a box filled with glue for observation experiments."
"Test its tenacious vitality and protect your cucumber at the same time."
The two pairs of father and daughter played a quiz game and soon reached their destination, which was a bench.
Sitting there, you can clearly see Mizuho Toyokawa's ward. In front of them, a real-life drama of patients and their families supporting each other is constantly being played out. This location is also the best place to bask in the sun at sunrise.
The sounds in his ears became blurred, and Toyokawa Yushin felt sleepy. He let go of his two daughters' hands and took out the things he had prepared from his trouser pocket.
Holding their hands again, Toyokawa Shoko and Mori Mu were stunned. The feeling of a hard object in their hands reminded them that Toyokawa Yushin had stuffed something into their hands.
"Let's continue chatting."
He strained to lift his eyelids. The numbers on the life countdown screen had already blurred, and his daughters' beautiful faces were no longer clear. Could they catch the warmest ray of sunlight at sunrise?
"Asano Yunobu!"
An angry voice seemed to come from the past to the future. Toyokawa Yushin wanted to give a decent smile, but the stiffness on his face made it a little difficult for him.
After all, all the important people were present, but it was a pity that he couldn't see them.
28.Simulated Settlement
Minami Mori frequently looked at her watch. She was in a hurry to meet the deadline, not the deadline for work, but the deadline for her husband.
Youming Cancer Hospital. I looked at the string of big blue words close to the huge building. This is the address.
She wasn't walking, she was running. Actors usually need to work long hours, and actresses also have to manage their diet and pay attention to their health, so they are not bad in terms of physical strength.
Although this would cause trouble to many people, she no longer cared about that.
The hands of the watch moved relentlessly, and the passing time invisibly increased her anxiety.
The prerequisite for attacking Toyokawa Yushin fiercely is to find the person first, rather than launching a void attack on an unselectable target.
Found it! A face that looked slightly older than her phone screensaver caught Mori Minami's eye: Toyokawa Yushin was sitting on a bench, talking to two beautiful young girls.
One is her daughter, and the other is her best friend's daughter, who is also his daughter.
That's not the point. The point is that she came all the way here to give him a beating, and it's time to call her out for a hearty octagonal fight.
The anger in her heart has accumulated to the limit. Toyokawa Yushin's hateful face is about to hit her fist. For the sake of her insignificant love, she will use the (broken) face punch on him.
Mori Minami's eyes met his, and all the anger in her heart suddenly burst out. She was horrified to find that the other person's eyes, which were always bright and sharp, gradually became cloudy.
His eyes gradually lost focus, appearing empty and lifeless, as if he was gazing at an invisible distance.
Could it be that Toyokawa Yushin didn't even notice her arrival? No! He had to know that she was here. He couldn't be the one who was absent!
Mori Minami thought quickly and came up with a stupid idea. The speed of sound is faster than her running speed, so as long as she can transmit the sound, the other party will definitely know of her existence.
She made the loudest noise of her life: "Asano Yushin!"
Finally caught up!
For the first time, Mori Minami felt that Toyokawa Yushin's smile was so precious. Although the other party had a hard time forcing out a not-so-good-looking smile, she knew that Toyokawa Yushin's smile was directed at her. She knew that she had caught up in this extremely dull death.
Compared to her embarrassed appearance, the two daughters beside him had already noticed that something was wrong with Toyokawa Yushin.
"Dad?"
Xiangzi felt the hand that was holding him loosen and called out to him tentatively.
Mu also noticed something was wrong and tugged at the corner of his clothes.
There was no response. They both turned their heads at the same time to look at Toyokawa Yushin who was slowly closing his eyes. They instinctively reached out to do something, but in the end they could only hold his shoulders and help him slowly lean back in the chair, accompanying him throughout his departure.
After all, the warm first ray of sunlight could not make up for the lost light in his eyes, nor could it warm his slowly cooling body.
Mori Minami walked in front of him. Toyokawa Yushin looked peacefully as if he was asleep. His expression was not much different from when he was usually by her pillow, except that the breathing sound that made her feel at ease was missing.
"Aunt Mori."
Xiangzi greeted her politely and stared at her warily as she ran towards him, worried that she would disturb her father who was already sleeping.
Mu chose to remain silent and also stood in front of Toyokawa Yushin to prevent her from losing her mind and doing anything extreme.
"I just... he told me the time, and I'm really angry that he didn't tell me earlier. I won't do anything. Just let me see him closer, okay?"
Mori Minami was almost begging them, how could she be angry with a dead person? No matter how emotionally out of control she was, she would never slap a dead person at a funeral.
Shoko Toyokawa was confused by her humble attitude, as if the relationship between Aunt Mori and Yushin Toyokawa was not that simple.
Mu put down his hand. Only Toyokawa Yushin could make her mother look like this. He was the only person her mother cared about, so she probably wouldn't do anything excessive.
When Minami Mori leaned closer to look at Yushin Toyokawa, Shoko Toyokawa glanced at the pendant on her hand and guessed whose photo was on it without even opening it.
Mu glanced at the pendant and candy in his palm and put them away carefully.
Toyokawa Mizuho looked at the still tall figure by the window and asked curiously, "Father, is the scenery outside really that beautiful? I'm tired of it."
"I wasn't looking at the scenery, I was looking at the people. Seeing the separation of life and death happening every day in this place, ah, I'm so glad that You Xin rescued you."
There was a slight tremor in Toyokawa Sadaharu's voice, but Toyokawa Mizuho did not notice anything unusual about him.
"When I'm discharged from the hospital, I must be a full-time housewife to take care of him. Don't let him work at the company or the hospital anymore. Let him have a good rest for a while."
"Well, he really needs to rest for a while."
After saying this, Toyokawa Sadaharu looked at the place silently. More and more people were gathering in one direction.
"I'm going to go downstairs for a walk. Don't move around here. I'll be back soon."
"it is good."
The last scene from Asano Yushin's perspective was a swallow flying quickly past the tall building and the shifting sun, and his consciousness fell into chaotic darkness.
