After a long while, Jiang Kan finally finished his analysis of the song's lyrics and composition, and closed his two-page notebook.
"Host, there is a music treasure chest that has not been opened. Would you like to open it now?"
The system reminded him promptly.
"Don't open it for the moment. I'm already very emotionally stimulated tonight. If I play another song, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep tonight."
He declined the system's kindness. It was already half past midnight. Although the next day was the weekend, he still didn't want to keep him awake all night because of this matter. It felt so uncomfortable.
"Okay. But please don't forget this, host."
After the system finished speaking, he disappeared. Jiang Kan packed up his things and went downstairs to go home.
…
In a bar in Chengdu, two middle-aged men from Fuso Kingdom who had appeared before were enjoying a leisurely drink.
"Matsuoka-senpai is counting the days. It's time for us to return to China. The actors, photographers and other crew members of the third season of "Midnight Diner" have basically been freed up, and the official filming can start in a few days. Woolen cloth."
A young man of about thirty years old with a crew cut held a glass of sake in his hand and gently touched the middle-aged man with long hair whom he called Songgang-senpai next to him. Shirdi said.
"Yes, Yamashita-kun, the shooting date is getting closer, and our short vacation is coming to an end..."
He clinked the wine glasses with the other person, raised his head and swallowed about half a tael of sake into his throat.
"It's just that life in Xia Kingdom is so comfortable, especially in Chengdu. The pace of life is so slow and comfortable. I'm a little reluctant to leave..."
He shook his head, looked out the window at the bustling street, and said with regret.
"Yes, Senior Songgang, I am also reluctant to leave here. The food here is mouth-watering, the wine here is unforgettable, and the slow pace of life here is much more pleasant than our place in Fuso Country. too much……"
Yamashita took a sip of the wine in his glass while looking at the beautiful scenery outside the window in a daze.
"But what can we do? We are all social animals. We have to work hard until we earn enough pension, child support and household expenses for our wife!"
He shook his head, as if he wanted to get rid of the unprogressive thoughts in his mind, but found that no matter how hard he tried, he could not get rid of the idea of continuing to take a vacation here.
At this time, the song in the bar was changed.
A familiar, melodious melody suddenly filled the entire bar, causing the drinkers to raise their brows and smile.
It's "The Wind Rises."
This song has become very popular recently, especially in a leisurely and lazy city like Chengdu.
Especially in this kind of bar with a small qualification, songs that are very popular among customers will naturally be played frequently.
"Ha, whatever comes to mind, Yamashita-kun, do you still remember this song?"
Songgang raised his right hand drunkenly and pointed with his index finger at the speaker hanging from the ceiling not far ahead.
"Of course I remember. Isn't this the very Chinese-style song we heard in the tavern in Jiuyanqiao last time? This song seems to be very popular in Xia Kingdom recently, on buses and subways. We often hear it in shopping malls."
Yamashita nodded and answered casually and naturally.
"Then do you still remember that we once said that we wanted to buy the copyright of this song and use it as a soundtrack in our food TV series?"
When it came to business, Songgang's expression became slightly sober.
"Really? Have we talked about it? Oh, yes, we have said it..."
Yamashita also shook his head, shook off the alcohol, and recalled what they had discussed.
"This style and this tune are all tailor-made for our "Late Night Diner". It would be even more perfect if the lyrics were changed into our language... Yamashita-kun, let's go find out about this tomorrow. Who owns the copyright of the song, and then try to buy it..."
He rubbed his already red eyes and cheeks with his hands to make himself more awake. Then he took out his mobile phone, opened the memo, and solemnly wrote down this matter in case he was hungover and lazy. I forget this very important thing.
"Understood, Senior Songgang, we will do this tomorrow, but for now, let us continue drinking and bring a perfect end to our few remaining vacations!"
…
The next day, Jiang Kan slept until dawn.
After yawning for half a minute, he finally woke up completely, sat up from the bed, walked to the window, and opened the heavy curtains of the bedroom floor-to-ceiling window.
A bright ray of sunlight suddenly pierced the darkness in the room, shrouded him in it, and turned the room golden.
"Ha~"
He stretched out again and looked happily out the window at the cars speeding down the road.
"It turns out to be a sunny day. It's really rare. How long has it been since the sun has risen?"
Jiang Kan walked back and forth by the window and did stretching exercises, completely eliminating the body aches accumulated after a night's sleep.
While shouting "Hey, cell phone", he opened the phone and asked about today's weather.
"Today's temperature will remain around 10 degrees Celsius, and it will be sunny from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m."
The weather forecast on the mobile phone system made him feel warm and comfortable. It seemed that he could get some sun again today. For a resident of Sichuan and Sichuan, this was a rare and beautiful thing in winter. .
"It's so comfortable...Okay, system, please help me open the music treasure chest that I haven't opened yesterday."
After he completed a set of stretching exercises, he put on his slippers and went to the bathroom to wash up. At the same time, he also aroused the system and asked it to help him open the treasure box. M.biQuge.biZ
"Okay host, please wait."
"The music treasure chest is opening..."
"The treasure chest has been opened. Congratulations to the host for getting the Fuso version of "The Wind Rises" - "ヤキモチ"!"
"oh?"
The system's words made Jiang Kan, who was brushing his teeth, slightly startled!
The Fuso version of "The Wind Rises"?
what is that?
"System, let's play it and take a look?"
Then the familiar translucent system screen appeared in front of him, which listed the song's Fuso Roman pronunciation and Xia Mandarin annotation.
"

"..."
Jiang Kan subconsciously moved his arms back and forth mechanically to brush his teeth, while silently looking at the lyrics and phonetic notation in front of him, and an unusually strange feeling arose in his mind.
He suddenly felt that this song, in that alien world called Earth, might have had a Fuso version first, and then was adapted into the Xia Mandarin version he had heard before. "got windy"?
Because of this tune, this melody, this style...
Isn’t it perfect for singing in Fusang dialect?
Is it possible that the previous "The Wind Rises" is the adapted version, and this "ヤキモチ" is the original version, the version that was originally created?
The system did not pause because of Jiang Kan's confusion and shock, but continued to play this song, which was very different from Xia Guo's other songs.
Jiang Kan no longer thought too much, but gradually calmed down and quietly immersed himself in this brisk and melodious Japanese song.
Although he didn't understand, it still didn't stop him from showing a knowing smile.
