Chapter 79 New Play & Embarrassment

  The movie is finished, it's time to hold a press conference.

  The premiere is scheduled for January 20th.

  Ryu and Tonkatsu Hana as the main actors naturally had to participate. After filming, the two people who should not have intersected because of the text messages every night did not feel awkward either.

  The venue is set at Yu Huang Hotel. After the premiere, all journalists are invited to stay for dinner.

  Questions will be arranged later, first let's watch the movie together.

  To be honest, I haven't seen a completed film of mine yet, let alone this being my first work, so there's some anticipation.

  Lü Yu and Dun He Lian's seats were next to each other, in the front row.

  After everyone had taken their seats one after another, the lights were turned off. Pitch blackness.

  Maybe because it's his own movie, Liu Yi seems a little nervous, just like watching a movie for the first time.

  I laugh at myself, but still can't control it.

  Dun He Lian slightly tilted her head and picked up her phone to press some buttons.

  Lü felt a vibration in his pocket and took it out to look. At first, he was stunned, but then he couldn't help but smile faintly. The tension in his heart also dissipated somewhat.

  "You've done a great job."

  Ritsu didn't think that Togashi Renn was so meticulous in observing people's thoughts, although he didn't say it outright, Ritsu clearly understood that Togashi Renn was telling him not to be tense.

  He couldn't help but smile faintly in the darkness, raising his hand to cover his face.

  The movie has started.

  The story begins with a flashback. After hastily glossing over the scene where the two people fall into the sea, it is only then that the true beginning unfolds.

  Two people from acquaintance to familiarity, and then to mutual understanding, everything is not explicitly stated, but can be seen from every move, every detail.

  The smile on his face was just right, and the tacit understanding between them did not allow anyone to intervene. Because before that, there was no gap between them at all.

  That movie dispels the misconceptions of same-sex relationships being gloomy, violent and so on. Instead, people only felt the most selfless and genuine love.

  So pure and lofty.

  Overturned everyone's imagination.

  The plot gradually becomes compact, from the sweetness and companionship at the beginning to the tension and worry later on, nowhere can it be seen that the deep love between the two people is not revealed.

  Even if there was no direct expression of what had happened between the two people in the last movie, except for the final film, it can be inferred from their expressions and facial colors.

  When the two fell into the sea, some emotional female journalists already had moist eyes.

  And when the last scene of two people meet again is undoubtedly the best ending.

  Shan Chuan once said, in the next reincarnation, we will still be together.

  And they were together after all, even if it wasn't in this life. But there will always be a day when they can be together. That day will be the ultimate happiness.

  Lü couldn't quite put his finger on the feeling in his heart, but he knew he was happy. Seeing the script he had read over and over again finally being brought to life on screen, this feeling was something he hadn't thought much of before, until now when he realized it wasn't something that could be glossed over with just a few words.

  A few words can't express the complicated feelings at present.

  The lights came back on and everyone stood up to applaud before heading to the conference hall one after another.

  Next up is a press conference. In fact, that's the main focus of today's premiere event.

  The role of media is enormous and immeasurable.

  But at the same time, we must be on guard against the cold arrows of journalists. If we answer incorrectly and are magnified by the media, it will not be a small wave.

  All media will report negative news extensively, so when answering, be extremely cautious.

  Even if you make an agreement with the reporters beforehand, it's still impossible to guarantee that they will keep their word - they have done too many about-faces already, and as soon as you let your guard down for a moment, they'll seize the opportunity to turn things around.

  Before this, Yua had never participated in a movie promotion event where opportunities and challenges coexisted, so Tōka made an agreement with Yua beforehand.

  If a reporter targets him with some tricky questions, then he must not rush to answer and should not be flustered. He should manage his expressions well because reporters who like to seize on details and exaggerate them may fabricate a series of speculations based on the actor's facial expression.

  If there is a problem and you can't answer, just keep silent for the time being.

  Dun He Lian will take care of it and help him solve it at the right time.

  Lv knew it was all experience and had no objection, nodded to show that he understood, and the two of them entered the hall one after the other.

  The flash was dazzling, from the moment they entered, the shutter kept flashing, making Lv feel a bit dizzy.

  Firstly, Director Ida Masakazu talked about his own experiences and past, as well as the reasons why he wanted to direct this film. Then came the understanding of the plot and the selection of actors.

  A reporter indicated he had a question and Ideta nodded his head in permission before speaking.

  "Excuse me, Director Ida, how did you decide to use a newcomer this time? Previously, you've always collaborated with famous actors - of course, Mr. Tonogawa Ren is one of them - so what made you make an exception this time?"

  Ito Daijisen smiled slightly, apparently he had expected that the reporter would ask him this question.

  "You've already seen the movie and I believe you can also see that this is a very talented child. And my reason for choosing him is not just because of this, but also because at the same time he is a very serious and hardworking person."

  "As an actor, the most important thing is to have a strong determination and be willing to put in effort and sweat. I saw this from Yul's body language. Many actors only read through scripts a few times, but Yul has read it at least several dozen or even hundreds of times."

  "You might say that these actors have talent, able to memorize lines after just one or two viewings. But a movie is not just something that requires rote memorization; each film has its own soul."

  "Maybe one glance can remember the things that are visible on the surface, but there are many things that are not discovered just by looking once. Between the lines, the playwright's sweat and thoughts are permeated, all his feelings are reflected in it, every time you look at it again, you can gain some overlooked and undiscovered things. And those things are very important."

  Ida director paused slightly, "The difference in attitude will be reflected in the actor's own performance, accumulating thin hair."

  "I can see the effort behind it during the interview."

  "And it's precisely because of this that I chose to believe him. As it turned out, I wasn't wrong."

  Throughout the entire time, Director Ida never showed any appreciation for Ritsu's acting, only calmly pointing out what needed to be changed and how it should be performed for a better effect.

  But he had never heard Ida praise him in such straightforward terms before.

  Ritsu listened to this speech, knowing that part of it was also for the sake of the movie's development, but at the same time, Ritsu could clearly hear Ida's true feelings.

  Can't help but say, he's actually happy inside. All along, he thought his efforts were just behind the scenes and no one would notice, but this quietly observing old man had long since seen through him clearly.

  After Idada's words were finished, the reporter did not ask any more questions, probably because he had already gotten a very good answer.

  In the following Q&A session, reporters started a barrage of questions.

  The tactics of the sea of questions appear somewhat disorganized and chaotic within the specified questioning time.

  Most people are like Tung Ho-yan asking questions, but there are also many journalists who think that the law is inexperienced and can be used to extract information with loopholes.

  Dun He Lian appeared extremely calm and composed in the face of these questions, with a perfectly timed smile on her face as she answered each one unhurriedly.

  Answer humbly and politely but actually skirt around the issue, seemingly answering the reporter's question but not revealing any practical information.

  This kind of person always makes journalists both love and hate them.

  Everything was going normally until a reporter raised his voice and asked loudly.

  "Excuse me, Mr. Tonohata Ren, the emotions you and your co-stars display while filming seem very genuine. Do you ever find yourselves getting carried away with the acting or developing special feelings as a result?"

  Lü Yi was taken aback, this reporter's question was a bit over the line, it didn't match the previously agreed upon scope of questions.

  Dun He Lian was taken aback for a moment, then calmly replied.

  "This gentleman, I think, has nothing to do with our film. Forgive me for not answering."

  The reporter put down his hand with a sulk and didn't persist anymore.

  The law is a bit strange, actually Dun He Lian can directly and straightforwardly tell him that there is no need to make things complicated.

  Atsushi Hanae wasn't really clear himself why he didn't answer directly that there was none, it was just subconscious, he didn't mean to say so.

  Anyway, the question asked by this reporter is also deviating from the direction of the movie, and not answering it doesn't seem inappropriate either.

  Dunhe Lian did not think further and turned to continue answering other reporters' questions.

  After the press conference, Tōnaga Rie looked a bit tired, and Ryū knew that it was difficult to concentrate on answering questions from reporters, organizing language, and ensuring no mistakes were made. He himself had only answered a few questions, and the more difficult ones were all answered by Tōnaga Rie.

  But Lü didn't have time to let Dun HeLian rest well either, because he still had a notice to rush after the end.

  Hurriedly after waving goodbye, Liu turned to Dunhe Lian and shook his mobile phone, indicating that they could contact each other by text message later, and then hastily left.

  And where was Tōka's mobile phone at this time?

  Kōichi helped Atsushi get his coat, when the phone rang. On instinct, he reached for it, but only after picking it up did he remember... he couldn't directly use a phone...

  But it's clearly too late now.

  Crack.

  When Tōnaga Ren arrived, she saw her own phone in Kōichi's hand, its screen shattered.

  Dun He looked at the phone that was already a second-class disabled person with twitching corners of his mouth, and expressionlessly spat out a number.

  "The sixth."

  Kōichi: “……” I was wrong!

  On this side, Lv finished his work and looked at his phone in confusion, which had not responded all night, and sent many messages to Dunhe Lian without a response.

  Ritsu is still worried that he might have done something wrong, so Tonari no Kaibutsu got angry, but no matter how hard he thinks, he can't think of anything. As a result, Ritsu innocently lost sleep, constantly reviewing whether he had done anything wrong.

  The next day, when Ritsu saw Tonari no Kaoru, he finally understood that what he had been worried about all night was actually because Kou accidentally touched Tonari no Kaoru's phone, causing it to break.

  Ritsu's eyes narrowed as he smiled, revealing a row of pearly white teeth.

  "I'll go buy a cell phone for Lian right away... Today, no, I mean right now."

  "Of course! Take it with the box."

  There are thousands of horses galloping in Xingyi's heart - being an agent can make a newcomer who has just debuted force him to this extent - is he easy to deal with!

  Although he was wrong in the first place.

  Having obtained a satisfactory answer, Lü collected his bright and shiny white teeth and bid farewell to Cong Dunhe with a wave of his hand, leaving as quickly as he had arrived.

  Dun He Lian was taken aback for a moment before realizing that Lv had come looking for him just because they hadn't been in touch by phone yesterday.

  Kōichi had just finished comforting himself when he looked up and saw Tonari no Renge smiling warmly at him.

  "Good luck..."

  Xingyi was in tears. Nima, why did one come after another! This day can't be passed...

  Let's mourn for poor Koichi.

  "Original Sin" starts showing in major cinemas nationwide.

  From major streets to small alleys, from Ginza to roadside video stores, posters for "Original Sin" are plastered everywhere.

  The media work was done in place, and the momentum was also successful. In the first week of release, the box office broke 30 million.

  The album is everywhere, and the names of Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun and Shizuku Mizutani have become the most talked-about topics among people.

  A large number of female fans began to grow in geometric numbers, and some even set up a lotus law bar, where they had heated discussions every day.

  In short, "Original Sin" is on fire.

  It can also be said that the law is very thorough and has been enforced.

  In the shortest time, the law was known by all in Japan from top to bottom.

  And just because of this, the lawyer's workload has become amazingly heavy, every day busy until very late.

  Ryota returned to his apartment late at night, but didn't expect Kyoko was waiting for him by the door.

  "Keiko? Something wrong?"

  Although the two are neighbors, only a wall apart, due to Lü's work that knows no day or night, he often leaves early and returns late, so although they live very close, it has been some time since they last saw each other.

  Kyoko came running with an excited smile and waved her hand, completely disregarding the fact that she had been waiting for a long time, and just said with a big smile.

  "Finally, I can participate in the LME audition soon. Mr. Li said he will notify me by phone. After that, I can also enter the entertainment circle!"

  By the way, because she often discussed scripts with Ritsu before, Kyoko has come to like acting. So now she wants to enter the entertainment industry, not just for revenge against Shotaro, but also for her own pursuit and dreams.

  Kyoko was thrilled that Yui could start her own dream law, and the two of them went back to Yui's apartment and chatted for a long time until Kyoko got sleepy and left.

  Although he couldn't sleep much anymore, Ritsu didn't mind sharing these joys with Kyoko, after all they were friends and it had been a long time since Kyoko last saw him.

  He only slept lightly for a while before getting up. Nana was coming to pick him up early today to discuss the new script they had previously talked about.

  After a simple cleanup, Nana's phone call arrived, and the two went to the company together. Lü looked at the script piled on the table and slightly clicked his tongue.

  How many scripts is this after all.

  Nanako still looked very neat, "Because the actor's personal interests are also important, and these scripts only have a few that are pretty good, most of them are just some idol romance dramas. I don't think you'll choose those, not because you can't act, but because most idol stars are limited to this, and their acting skills aren't refined either. But I didn't directly refuse, they're all piled up here."

  Nanako walked over and picked out three scripts, putting them aside.

  "I've roughly gone through them, and I think these three are quite challenging and suitable for you. You choose one that you'd most like to perform, and after you've decided, call me and I'll get in touch with the director to sign the contract."

  "Uh-huh, got it." Ritsu replied to Nana after finishing and then lowered her head to read one of the books.

  Because he just wanted to have a simple understanding at first, so he roughly translated it, and soon after, he finalized one of them.

  Tears of Blood

  This is a cop-gangster movie, but it's not all dark. There's also friendship and brotherhood in the gang, but that doesn't deny they're breaking the law; cops and gangs are eternal enemies.

  The most impressive one is a small leader under the gang, who is also the protagonist of this film - Suzuki Hiroshi.

  Suzuki Hiroshi is a real hooligan, fighting is his daily routine, and even a slight glance from him carries a fierce aura.

  And he was still young. Very young.

  This also means that he may be appreciated by his superiors in the future and have unlimited prospects.

  Suzuki Ou, notorious for his ruthlessness, didn't look like a rough and tumble kind of guy - on the contrary, he looked almost frail, with a pale face that was gaunt yet refined, sporting a strong attraction that seemed to contradict itself without being jarring.

  Suzuki Ou is untamed and indifferent, yet has a bewitching charm that's almost toxic.

  A man like a leopard.

  And corresponding to him, the new police flower Teng Zhi Jia, 22 years old, lives under the sun as if in another world. She has a gentle and sunny personality, with a smile always on her face.

  Looks gentle and soft, even with a bit of indecisiveness, but the fact is far from it. Huatang Zhi Jia is the undisputed top student among this year's graduating class at Police Academy. Whether in hand-to-hand combat or written exams, all were completed with outstanding results, graduating at the top and entering the Metropolitan Police Department headquarters.

  Hanatou no Ka looks gentle, but is actually calm and has excellent judgment. Despite being young, he has already shown strong abilities and ambition that is not easily noticeable.

  Two people who are extremely outstanding in their own fields seem to have met under the arrangement of fate.

  Meet one's match in chess.

  Who wins?

  After reading the script of this play, Lv felt himself getting excited. He wanted to take down this role.

  You said it's Hanatou no Ka? No, it's Suzuki Ou.

  She immediately called Nana and Nana promised to arrange everything properly, so Ritsu could get a chance for an audition. And Ritsu was confident that she could get the role.

  He will go all out.

  Bring the script back home, Lü receives a call from Nainai, and the next episode's judge is actually him too?

  He agreed verbally, but in his heart he was wondering what kind of tricks President Bao had up his sleeve.

  Even if he's now famous, it can't be denied that he's still a newcomer who hasn't been in the industry for long. What kind of logic is it to have a newcomer as a judge?

  However, Loli-Botian has always been difficult to guess and does things that confuse people.

  Shrugging shoulders, doesn't matter anyway. Probably there's some reason I don't know about. Anyway, it won't have any bad influence on me, let him be.

  Originally, I thought about whether or not to tell Kyoko that I was a judge, but then I thought that if Kyoko saw me appear on the judges' panel, it would definitely be interesting. So, with ill intentions, Ritsu didn't say anything and waited for that day to come and give Kyoko a "surprise".

  "Hmm———"

  From "the great god".

  "I'm free this afternoon and I still owe you a meal. Do you have time?"

  Ryu was taken aback for a moment, when did he owe himself a meal? After thinking for a while, he suddenly remembered that during his hospitalization, Tonari Kusaka had mentioned a great restaurant and promised to take him there.

  I didn't expect that I, as the creditor, would forget, but the debtor remembers clearly.

  Can't help but smile, someone invites you to dinner, why not go.

  "Yes. What time at night? Where?"

  Tun He Lan replied quickly.

  "That place isn't well-known and is hard to find, I'll pick you up at 6pm tonight at the entrance of your neighborhood."

  "Okay, see you this afternoon."

  "Uh-huh."

  Put down the phone, rubbed his head, and picked up the script again to read. Before Dun He Lian arrived, there was still a considerable amount of time, just enough to take another look and make some marks.

  Time always passes unconsciously very quickly, and when Lu finally studied "Blood and Tears" again, the sky had already darkened.

  Rubbing his somewhat tired and sour eyes, Lv raised his hand to look at the luminous watch on his wrist.

  5:30

  Washed his face to look refreshed, changed into going-out clothes, felt it was about time, and headed out.

  Lü Dai put on a hat, not because he wanted to, but because Nainai had repeatedly reminded him to take some disguise measures when going out, at least so that others couldn't recognize him at a glance.

  Even if Lv thought he wasn't that famous himself, that was just his nerve being too big.

  Nanako thought silently, surprisingly few people didn't know him, yet he still thought of himself as just an ordinary newcomer. Didn't he know that the number of fans registered on his official website had skyrocketed to a terrifying figure?

  If he goes out directly, it is estimated that he will be eaten by the wolf-like fans and there will be no hair left.

  Nanako feels a lot of pressure being in charge of someone who doesn't have a correct understanding of themselves.

  Does he have any awareness of being a star at all?!

  No matter how Nana maintains her facial expression and internally mocks, it won't change the fact that this guy is very lacking in self-awareness.

  Dunhe Lian will arrive early, it's actually expected. Anyone who is serious about things won't allow themselves to be late. He said with a smile as he got into the passenger seat.

  "Long time no see, Senior Tung Ha."

  Tong He Lian raised an eyebrow, clearly not having seen him just a few days ago. However, she didn't expose him and simply nodded slightly before dropping the subject.

  "Has anything new happened at work?" asked Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun while driving.

  "Uh-huh, yeah. Today Nana showed me a few scripts and I think one of them is really attractive to me, I want to get that role."

  "What is it about?"

  "Cop movie. I want to play the role of the gangster."

  The corners of her mouth involuntarily curled up, and Dunhe Lian tilted her head to look at Lv. "I thought you'd want to play a positive role."

  Lü shook his head and blinked, "How can that reflect my versatile style? I don't want to play roles that are not much different. The more distinct they are, the more challenging it is. Playing a variety of different roles is what's interesting."

  This remark made Tōga Ryūjin's mouth curve upwards. As an actor, it is necessary to try out different roles and styles. If one sticks to the same role all the time, they will not achieve great success; not only will their acting skills and career stagnate, but the audience will also get tired of seeing someone with a similar image all the time.

  Lü's idea is pretty good.

  It seems that what was said pleased the great god's intentions and made the great god feel good, so Tōka Ren very generously let Ritsu choose for himself.

  Tonkatsu Laut is a traditional Japanese restaurant, with exquisite decor and not many people. Each table is in a small compartment, separated by curtains, so you don't have to worry about being seen or heard.

  It seems that she often comes here, and Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun is familiar with the staff here.

  But it wasn't until they ordered that the waiter smiled and called Tōnaga Ren "boss" that Ritsu realized this was a restaurant owned by Tōnaga himself.

  Her eyes widened slightly as she stared at Tōka Hana, and Ritsu exclaimed in surprise. "No wonder you brought me here, this store is actually yours?"

  Dun He Lian nodded and smiled, supporting her chin with her hand.

  "What's wrong, very surprised?"

  It's not surprising at all after knowing it. Ritsu shook his head, "Not particularly surprised, just a bit at the beginning. You look like you have a business mind, opening a restaurant isn't that strange."

  Tong He Lian's smile deepened slightly, hmm, did he look like a business-minded person? How would he know.

  The wasabi made him keep drinking tea, trying to suppress the spiciness.

  Dunhe Lian couldn't help but laugh at Lv's appearance, who was sweating while eating and still wanting to eat more, even though his face had already turned bright red.

  The law can't control that much, anyway it's spicy and enjoyable. Recently, I rarely get to eat so happily, I must enjoy it to the fullest.

  Two people eating and chatting at the same time, the atmosphere is surprisingly good.

  Tun He Lian drove to send Lv back to the apartment, just got off the car and hadn't had time to say goodbye, when he heard a cheerful voice behind him.

  "Law! You're back!"

  Some were surprised to turn back, Kyoko was wearing a khaki-colored sportswear and rushing towards him with a bright smile.

  "Ah, yeah! Today's nothing special, so I was thinking of going out to eat with my sempai. Is Kyoko just coincidentally here or is she waiting for me?"

  Kyoko only then noticed the black sedan behind Lutz, and as the window rolled down, the person inside was surprisingly familiar.

  That's not...

  Before she could even greet him, Kyoko saw the man simply say "see you later" and drive away.

  Huh?

  Kyoko was somewhat perplexed, thinking that the man who had just looked at him with an unkind gaze. She hadn't met him before, had she?

  Lü Weiwei stared blankly at the departing car, after being together for so long, he could naturally tell that Dun He Lian was not as happy as she had been on the road just now. What's wrong?

  Tōga Ren was a bit irritated and gripped the steering wheel tightly in his hands. He knew that his condition wasn't normal, but when he saw that girl smiling brightly and waving at him, he started to feel inexplicably annoyed.

  Recalling the girl's deep-in-thought expression, Togame's already gloomy face turned completely dark. Looking at her, could it be that she couldn't remember who she was? This was simply impossible.

  As soon as he thought of the girl's smiling face when she rushed to greet him, Tōka Hanae stepped on the accelerator with a blank expression - only looking somewhat cute, what made Ritsu choose her...

  Tun He Lian Meng's brake.

  Covering one's face won't stop the noise from behind.

  He must have gone mad.

  ——————————————————————————————————————————

  Lü felt it was strange. The daily text messages suddenly stopped since that day.

  Some people are worried that Dunhe Lian is ill and has sent many messages without a response.

  Originally Lü wanted to ask about it, but because the new drama is about to start filming soon, and there are too many activities going on, he didn't have a chance to go.

  It's been a month like this.

  Only then did Lv Zhe realize that Dun He Lian was deliberately avoiding him.

  Although they were in the same company, because Tunghai Lian wanted to avoid him, they really couldn't meet. Because he didn't know the reason, it was very mysterious and frustrating for Ritsu. What's going on? It wasn't that day when everything was fine, why did she want to avoid him? Unable to guess the reason, since she didn't want to see him, Ritsu didn't bother to ask either.

  But on the day of LME's draft, the two still met.

  All of them are judges this time, and without sufficient reason, President Bao wouldn't agree not to come.

  So the two people still met. What made Lv feel most deceived was that Dunhe Lian didn't even look at him, and directly found his own seat and sat down.

  His own position was just beside him.

  He slightly raised his head, and Lu Zhi only wanted to ask innocently, what kind of heinous crime had he committed anyway, what did this all mean...

  They say you can't guess a girl's mind, but in fact, a man's mind - don't even try to guess.

  I have had an extremely profound understanding of this law.

  From head to toe, Ryō was completely bewildered as he sat down next to Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun, who had Rori on the other side of him.

  It's clear that President Hōden is also very interested in the awkward and embarrassing atmosphere between the two, but looking at Tōka Hōden's expressionless face, he wisely didn't ask directly.

  What a relief.

  The law is now looking forward to the draft starting early to get rid of this incredibly weird atmosphere, but unfortunately, there are still twenty minutes before it starts.

  Why did he come so early after all? Lü started to suspect that his professional spirit was too good.

  Twenty minutes should be spent somehow, can't just sit there all the time.

  But in fact, dear Treasure President is a person who can't stand loneliness.

  And his first words out of his mouth almost choked him to death.

  "Hey, Lian, look at your expression, have you fallen in love again?"

  Lü doesn't know if Dun He is heartbroken, but Bao Tian's CEO wants to give him some special advice, considering he's actually a pretty good entertainment company CEO.

  Boss, you're really going all out with this one, aren't you?

  At this time, Tōka Hien, who had been unresponsive all along, seemed to come back to life as she slightly raised her eyes and gazed at Rolly-Poly with a faint smile.

  What he said made Lü feel once again that this world was unscientific.

  He said.

  "I didn't lose love." This sentence is quite normal.

  "It ended before it even began."

  Boss, trust me, this is really a rhythm of seeking death.

  Loli-Botian looked at Pi Xiao Rou with a faint tremble that was almost imperceptible.

  He asked some weird questions...

  President, you finally have a sense of self-awareness. It's truly something to be congratulated on.

  However, Tohka had indeed been dumped many times before —— although it wasn't because they didn't like him anymore. That was also a fact.

  Previously using this matter to educate him or tease him didn't get any reaction, at least not as terrifying as today, it's like countless tangible resentments came rushing forth.

  Materialized.

  Oh, this is really scary.

  Lyu felt a lot of pressure. The atmosphere, which had already been quite awkward before, unexpectedly took an even more eerie turn after President Bao Tian spoke up.

  How tragic.

  Still unable to bear this atmosphere, the law decided to open its mouth fearlessly.

  "Hello, Mr. Dunhe, it's been a while since we last contacted each other, what's wrong?"

  Tong Hua Lian tilted her head to look at him. It had been a month, and Lu felt like it had been a long time since he had seen someone looking directly at him like that.

  Her thin lips parted slightly, "Because I finally knew the reason for contacting every day, but there was no reason to continue."

  "What does this mean." Lü Weiwei was taken aback for a moment, seemingly puzzled, yet somehow also seeming to understand.

  My mind is a bit confused.

  Tun He Lian didn't say anything else and turned her head back without looking at him again.

  He rubbed his hair irritably, feeling that he was completely bewildered by Tonari's attitude.

  While sorting out ideas, the draft show that had been eagerly awaited earlier finally started one after another.

  Forget it, I'll just go back and think about it. The law looked at the staff arranging the contestants' attention with some unease, then saw Jingzi.

  The girl with orange hair had a visibly tense expression on her face, but it couldn't hide the expectation, and the somewhat conflicted look was quite cute.

  The law couldn't help but think of Atsushi's unnatural start, which was when he saw Kyoko.

  So... it seems that Atsushi has a crush on Kyoko after all?

  Ritsu, who didn't believe in love at first sight, couldn't help but think that way. If she thought about it like that, then everything made sense. And besides, this was the world of shoujo manga, where love at first sight was a common occurrence among the male and female leads - what was impossible for them?

  Now that the law has been figured out, there's no need to dwell on this issue. Since the reason has been found, everything is simple. As long as it's clear to Tōru after the end that he and Kyoko are just friends, Tōru will probably stop being so down. Maybe, it can even bring about this pair getting together earlier than in the original story.

  That's right, Tohga-senpai seems to have known Kyoko since they were kids. He vaguely remembers that in the manga, Tohga Ren once said that Kyoko was his sunshine.

  For some reason, he felt a bit depressed, shook his head and thought that he should give Kyoto a hint. When he saw him, Kyoto would be very surprised, right?

  He thought of this and raised his head to look at Kyoko, revealing a faint smile.

  Keiko seemed to have noticed something and lifted her head, just in time to see Ritsu smiling.

  Kyoko was taken aback at first but then became very happy. In order not to disturb the atmosphere, she didn't say a word and instead responded with a big smile.

  Feeling a bit better, Ritsu turned around, but saw Tonari no Kaibutsu with an expressionless face.

  Oh right, he forgot again that Tonari is in love with Kyoko. If they show such a good relationship with Kyoko, won't it make Tonari unhappy again?

  Thinking of this, Lü Dao sat still and didn't move again.

  The draft is about to begin, but it seems that everything isn't going as smoothly as I had imagined.
