After eating and drinking, the three of them sat around the laptop, talking and laughing.
Stay until 10 o'clock in the evening, because Kurosawa Hikaru and Ninomiya Chizuru both have to go to school tomorrow, so they should go back at that time.
"Kurosawa, you played Croatian Rhapsody this time, so are you going to play Flight of the Bumblebee next time?"
Igarashi Runa was still the driver, driving out of the garage and taking them home, and she talked nonstop all the way.
Maybe it was a few hours, but her excitement wasn't going to subside for some time.
You know, even though today’s entrepreneurial success is still far from monetization, there is still a lot to do and the money is not taken immediately.
But a good start will bring endless imagination.
Starting a business with her best friend and her best friend's boyfriend and reaching the pinnacle of life together made her extremely happy. It was much more exciting than when she had a part-time job before and saw Fujiwara Rika's rise step by step.
Because this time, she is no longer an employee, but a boss and partner.
"Still thinking about it, maybe."
Kurosawa Hikaru sat in the back seat and noticed that she was still very talkative, so he shrugged.
“Why maybe? Flight of the Bumblebee is so great, and didn’t you say that this song will likely attract a follow-up trend?” Igarashi Runa didn’t quite understand.
"Because there may be other good songs." Kurosawa Hikaru smiled.
These days, he has been doing some research on the piano.
Perhaps this world overlaps to a great extent with the world he lived in in his previous life, but there are still qualitative differences.
There are many piano pieces that have never appeared in this world.
"Do you have any other original piano pieces?" Igarashi Runa was a little surprised.
"Not now, but maybe there will be later." Kurosawa Hikaru still needs time to recall and recreate it.
Because he didn't know much about piano in his previous life and wasn't a fan, the only piano pieces he knew were the famous ones that were popular in the streets and schools and were well-known.
Croatian Rhapsody and Flight of the Bumblebee are typical examples of this type.
Even if you don't know its name, you have definitely heard its melody. It is so popular that it is no exaggeration to say that it is popular all over the world.
"Then I'll wait. When do you plan to shoot next time?"
Every profession has its own expertise. Igarashi Runa knew very well that she didn't understand much of this, so she didn't interfere and just asked.
"Wednesday."
Kurosawa Hikaru thought about it and arranged the time.
"So fast?" Igarashi Runa was a little surprised.
"I have something to do next weekend."
Kurosawa Mitsuru nodded slightly and glanced sideways at Ninomiya Chizuru who was sitting in the back seat.
"You got something going on this weekend? What?"
Igarashi Runa asked subconsciously.
"Secret." Kurosawa Hikaru smiled.
If Igarashi Runa still didn't understand what was said in this tone, then she was too slow, so she stopped asking questions and just drove quietly.
"Exploding into flames..." As she calmed down, Kurosawa Hikaru sat in the back seat, his right leg resting on his left leg, his hands folded on his knees, and fell into deep thought.
To be honest, he could imagine that "Croatian Rhapsody" would be popular, but he never expected it to be to this extent.
According to his expectations, this song should take a few days to ferment before gradually showing its potential to become a hit. The longer the time, the more popular it will be.
As a result, on just the first day, it showed the potential to become a huge hit, which was really unexpected.
If you think about it carefully, it may be because of the times. If "Croatian Rhapsody", which was very popular in the early 2000s, appeared in the era of traffic explosion in 2020, its power might be the same.
Moreover, his master-level piano skills may be even better than Maxim's, plus that brilliant cover.
According to this situation, his rise will be much faster than expected, which will force him to think about his next plan, such as what song he will play.
There were quite a few songs to choose from, but he had to try hard to remember them.
"Why didn't he hold my hand this time?"
As he fell into deep thought, Chizuru Ninomiya beside him tilted her head slightly, and glanced at him with her beautiful eyes behind her frameless glasses, looking a little anxious.
Because she was thinking about this, she didn't even notice that Kurosawa Hikaru's mention of something happening over the weekend and a secret was hinting at something.
Since Wednesday, for her, riding home together in the car, in the dim night, with no lights and a dark back seat, the two of them secretly holding hands, was a small contact that made her heart beat fast and was something she looked forward to very much.
This kind of contact was very small and didn't mean much, but she missed it very much.
It was clearly Friday night, and Kurosawa Hikaru secretly held her hand in the back seat of the car at this time. This happened twice. Why did there be no movement the third time
And this time, she deliberately put her hands aside to give him a chance, but why did he seem not to notice
His hands were folded on his knees. Does that mean he won't hold hands this time
Maybe it was because she was looking forward to holding hands, or maybe it was because she saw a comment in the evening saying that Kurosawa Hikaru's hands were very beautiful... Since then, she has begun to look forward to the little contact when she returns home.
But what's going on now? Why is he not moving
"What should I do? Is he thinking about the piano piece? If he keeps going like this, I'm afraid he won't respond even when I get to his house."
As the car stopped at the traffic light and then set off again, Ninomiya Chizuru waited for a while but the car didn't show up, and she became more and more anxious.
Because every time you pass a traffic light, you get closer to your home.
How could this be possible? Tonight, Runa was so excited that she kissed Kurosawa Hikaru, and hugged him. If she didn't even get to hold his hand today, she would be at a great loss.
"Should I choose Anne of Wonderland, Adeline by the Water, or Wedding in a Dream?"
Kurosawa Hikaru was very troubled about the choice of the second song.
These three pieces are all classics among classics. In terms of popularity and influence, they are the world's top piano pieces.
In comparison, even the Croatian Rhapsody pales in comparison to these pieces.
It must be said that he had no way of recreating these songs before, because the memories of his previous life were too long ago. However, due to his mastery-level piano skills, his memory of piano music began to become clear, and he recalled the melodies he had heard in his previous life.
"!"
At this moment, Kurosawa Mitsuru felt something hard touching his calf. The sudden feeling scared him.
He looked down and there was nothing, but when he searched, he saw a foot that had not been retracted yet.
Those were Miss Ninomiya's feet. The hard feeling just now was because of her high heels.
Coming back to his senses, he looked up and glanced to the side, and saw Ninomiya Chizuru.
When their eyes met, Ninomiya Chizuru's gaze flickered away, then she fiddled with her hair, turned around and looked at the scenery outside the window.
She rested her elbows on the windowsill and supported her chin with one hand, as if the person she had just touched with her foot was not her.
"What's going on?" Kurosawa Mitsuru was confused when he saw this scene.
But at this moment, when he withdrew his gaze, he saw a slender and white jade arm placed on his side, and the slender and small palm was less than thirty centimeters away from him.
"Do you want me to shake hands?" Seeing this scene, Kurosawa Mitsuru reacted immediately.
Maybe he didn't say it directly, nor did he put his palm flat as an invitation, but the meaning expressed by this action was already very clear.
Noticing her little thoughts, Kurosawa Mitsuru stopped thinking about the piano music and reached out and held her hand.
This time, it was no longer the covering style as before, but reaching in from the bottom, with five fingers inserted into the gaps between the fingers and interlocking the ten fingers.
As they shook hands, perhaps because of the dark environment, Kurosawa Hikaru discovered that her hands were very small, at least compared to his own, and her skin was smooth, soft, and even cool, feeling so good that he couldn't let go.
When Kurosawa Hikaru did this, he clearly felt her body tremble slightly, but she still did not look back, and had no intention of struggling or breaking free, as if she was letting him do whatever he wanted.
Seeing this scene, Kurosawa Hikaru's eyes glanced at the driver's seat, then he took her hand, lowered his head and gently kissed the back of her hand.
"What is he doing?"
Suddenly, there was a wet and hot touch on the back of her hand. Ninomiya Chizuru could not sit still anymore. She turned around and saw him kissing the back of her hand.
This made her a little confused, and the next moment, her eyes met a pair of eyes.
Those black eyes, in the darkness, were still unique and eye-catching, and they smiled slightly, as if they were saying to her, "I finally caught you."
"… "
Ninomiya Chizuru glanced at the driver's seat and found that Runa didn't notice this side, then she pulled her arm and put it on the back seat cushion, without saying a word.
This time, she no longer pretended to be oblivious and looked out the window. She accepted the fact of holding hands and did not struggle at all.
“How cute.”
Seeing that her reaction was still so restrained, Kurosawa Mitsuru sighed in his heart and did not continue to tease her.
He was very patient with Miss Ninomiya because some things could not be rushed.
"His hands are indeed very beautiful..."
Ninomiya Chizuru stole a glance diagonally in front of her at Runa who was in the driver's seat, and then stole a glance at the hands clasped together beside her. Her heart beat a little faster.
Kurosawa Hikaru's big hands were open like a bed, supporting her palms, with their fingers interlocked.
The scene was beautiful, heart-warming, exciting and satisfying.
"The hand kiss... He really is getting more and more incredible."
Ninomiya Chizuru recalled what had just happened, and her previous anxiety was swept away. Perhaps her mind was still very confused, but it was replaced by joy, surprise, and an unspeakable emotion.
Anyway, we held hands tonight, and even went a step further than before, with our fingers intertwined.
This action is not just an ordinary hand holding, it is more like a confession, a proposal, and a signal to grow old together.
She is not in a hurry, is easily satisfied, and is patient.
As long as they are like this every time they meet, moving forward little by little, accumulating a little each time, when the time is right, the grains of sand will pile up into a tower, and everything will be done naturally.
