retrieve a bunch of dreams

"Wow——! What's going on?!" Aoi went out to take out the trash in the morning, and as soon as she opened the door, she immediately closed it again.

"What's the matter, it's so noisy early in the morning?" Taiyang went down the stairs, watching Aoi running around.

"Sano! Help me close the curtains in the living room!" Aoi locked the door and shouted, pointing at the living room.

Sano came out of Aoi's room, ran directly to the living room and closed the curtains.

"Don't think about it, what happened yesterday must have made the headlines!" Sano pulled the curtains, smiled and said to Taiyang, "Oh, our Taiyang is really capable. Before the competition is over, Captain Otsuka became famous~"

Both Tachibana and Otsuka went downstairs, heard the yelling outside the house, looked at the drawn curtains, and immediately understood everything.

"Little Kanazawa, are you afraid?" Otsuka walked to Taiyang's side.

"I..." Sun thought for a while and said, "I'm actually just afraid that my parents will be pissed at home one day when they see the news. Although they are not in China, social information spreads so fast now, in case they find out... "

"If they know, let them know!" Otsuka said while holding Taiyang's shoulder, "I'm not afraid anymore, what are you afraid of? Some people can accept it, some people can't accept it, but we ourselves There is nothing wrong! If your parents come over, I will tell them, I will make you happy!"

"Big, Otsuka..." Taiyang bit his lip, feeling a surge of heat in his heart.

"Hey, hey, don't mess around with dog food early in the morning, okay~" Sano said, pushing Aoi to make breakfast.

"Have you ever thought about how your public relationship will affect the competition?" Tachibana said calmly, "Maybe this can become a gimmick for the band. Now that there are so many rotten girls, maybe the band will use the BL positioning It’s hot. However, TOP Global President Minami Miyazaki hates homosexuality very much. You’d better be prepared to be blocked.”

"If you are really banned, Tachibana, you and Sano will be implicated." Otsuka said with a slight frown.

Tachibana shrugged, "Heh, it's not the first time I've been banned. I was banned after following Captain Otsuka, and I admit it."

"Don't tell Sano yet, just take every step!" Otsuka said with his eyes narrowed.

Tachibana turned on the phone and read the news.What happened yesterday really made today's headlines, "Naoto Otsuka, vice president of the Central Hospital, and his gay man Kanazawa Taiyo issued a statement at the Kyoto International Hotel, officially coming out as gay. '

Suddenly thought of something, Tachibana hurriedly called Xiao Zhi.

"A Hiiragi, are you back?" Xiaozhi rubbed his eyes and asked.

"I came back last night." Tachibana walked to the sofa and sat down, "Xiaozhi, have you read the news?"

"Not yet, I just woke up." As soon as I woke up, I heard Tachibana's voice, which made Xiaozhi feel good all day, "Wait what are you going to do, I'm going to rest today, do you want it?"

"I was going to tell you!" Tachibana interrupted Xiaozhi, "Don't come to me these few days, Aoi's house is surrounded by reporters now!"

"What?" Xiaozhi sat up from the bed excitedly, "Is it because of the song from the Sunrise competition?"

"Oh, no..." Tachibana smiled wryly, "Naoto Otsuka, the vice president of the Central Hospital, announced yesterday that he came out of the closet."

"Huh?" Xiaozhi laughed, "With the sun?"

"Yeah," Tachibana also laughed, and said without blame, "That idiot Taiyang will ruin the reputation of the entire band one day~"

"If one day you want to make our affairs public, I'm willing to make it public too." Xiaozhi said softly.

"Hey! We are not lovers now!" Tachibana reminded him with a smile.

"Okay." Xiaozhi said gently, "The pressure of public opinion should not be underestimated. Let Otsuka and the others be more vigilant recently."

"Well, I'll tell them." Tachibana was once a star, and he knew that media people were monsters who would not care about the feelings of any parties involved.

"Then... Since I can't go to you, can you come and see me?" Xiaozhi asked cautiously.

"Well..." Lihua pursed her lips, "Don't you have any work arrangements today?"

"I have been busy for a week, and I can finally take a day off. I have no arrangements. I came to see you yesterday after finishing work at noon, but you are not at home." Xiaozhi felt urgent when he thought of Tachibana's face on the phone. Wanting to see each other, "I haven't seen each other for a week, Hiiragi, do you miss me?"

"No." Tachibana pretended to be cold and said.

"Yeah." Xiao Zhi frowned, pursed his lips tightly, his heart was twisted, and after a few seconds he said sadly, "I know, I... I have no right to ask you to miss me too. I'm sorry... "

Lihua was also distressed by Xiaozhi's reaction, bit her lip, Lihua said, "Get up, I will bring you breakfast."

"Eh?" Xiaozhi was stunned for a moment, and asked in disbelief, "You mean, do you want to come over to my side?"

"Yeah." After Tachibana answered, she quickly hung up the phone.

Otsuka and Taiyo were both in the restaurant, Tachibana went to the restaurant and said to them, "I'm going out, not having breakfast at home."

"You can't rehearse today without you!" Sun said.

"It's so noisy outside, it's impossible to rehearse at home with peace of mind." Tachibana said.

Otsuka asked, "When will you be back?"

"I don't know, maybe at night." Lihua thought about Xiaozhi, and thought that maybe he would spend the night there tonight, "There is no need to prepare my dinner."

Otsuka nodded, and Tachibana went to the kitchen to say hello to Aoi, "Aoi, I'm not at home for dinner today, I'm going out now, can I borrow your balcony to go out?"

"Do you want to go out?" Aoi looked at Tachibana and asked, "I made a sandwich, should Tachibana leave after eating?"

"Sandwich?" Tachibana thought for a while, "Make an extra one for me, I want to bring... alone, can I?"

"Is that person Minase?" Sano put his arm around Tachibana's shoulder and asked with a smirk.

Tachibana smiled and said nothing, and Aoi understood, "I'll make another one later, and now I'll pack two sandwiches for you first! Well, I'll remove the vegetables in the middle of one of them."

As she spoke, Aoi took a bento box, filled two sandwiches, and took out a paper bag to pack them.Just about to get the milk, Aoi thought about it, then took two bottles of juice from the refrigerator and put them in a paper bag.

"Thank you!" Tachibana smiled and touched Aoi's head, "The landlord is really great!"

"I'll go to the balcony with you." Sano said, and went to the balcony with Tachibana.

The balcony is a terrace on the first and a half floors that extends to the outside of the house, where Aoi hangs clothes.There was a row of short trees outside the terrace, Tachibana took Sano's hand and jumped off the terrace.Looking around, Tachibana made an OK gesture to Sano on the first and a half floors, and then got into the short tree holding the paper bag.

Tachibana walked through the bushes and got scratched on the face, but luckily no marks were left.Tachibana was in a good mood, ran to the station, and got on the train with the crowd.

Arriving at Xiaozhi's house, Li Hua thought of the mess in Xiaozhi's house when he came here before, frowned slightly, and raised his hand to knock on the door.

Xiaozhi came out and opened the door soon, and when he saw Tachibana, he pulled him into the room in surprise.

"Are you... doing cleaning?" Tachibana looked at the living room, although it was still messy, but Xiaozhi was already cleaning up the beer cans all over the floor with a big garbage bag in his hand.

"Hehe, you want to come, so I quickly cleaned up." Xiaozhi smiled and bit her lips, with a little embarrassment on her face. This expression reminded Tachibana that when she first met Xiaozhi, Xiaozhi was often so shy He looked at himself expectantly.

"I'll help you clean up after breakfast." Tachibana walked to the sofa and put the paper bag on the coffee table.

Xiaozhi took the rag in his hand, followed Tachibana to the coffee table quickly, and wiped the coffee table.

Tachibana sat down, saw the broken TV screen, and said distressedly, "The TV was very expensive at that time."

"That..." Xiaozhi said shyly, "Should I buy a TV later?"

"Hmm." Tachibana murmured while taking out the juice from the paper bag, "I would have chosen the one with the low configuration if I knew it back then, and I would have broken it anyway, so I might as well save some money back then."

Xiao Zhi actually laughed when he heard that, "If I knew I could find you, I shouldn't have lost my temper and broke the TV. At that time, I was quite struggling to buy this TV."

"If it weren't for you insisting on buying this house, we wouldn't be in a tight spot." Li Hua thought about the past, and felt a little sweet in his heart, "I said to pay the down payment and we will pay it back together, but you have to use all your savings to pay the full amount .People who don’t take out loans in today’s society must be out of their minds.”

"I want you to feel at ease." Xiao Zhi thought about it and smiled slightly, "Hehe, after you left, I thought about it, if you want to buy a house privately to live, I will pretend to be the buyer, so that I can find you , but you never thought about touching this house. I felt sad at that time, did you never regard this house as your own home. "

"Who would be stupid enough to take out all their belongings to buy a house, but write someone else's name." Tachibana muttered and took out the lunch box, "Go wash your hands, Aoi made sandwiches."

"Yeah." Xiaozhi nodded, and quickly put down the rag to wash his hands.

Xiaozhi sat next to Tachibana, the corners of his mouth could not stop rising, Tachibana felt strange, and handed a sandwich to Xiaozhi, asking, "What's wrong? Is there something good?"

"Huh?" Xiaozhi was stunned for a moment, then bit the sandwich with a smile, shaking his head slightly.

"Here you are." Tachibana opened the juice bottle cap and handed it to Xiaozhi.

"Thank you." Xiaozhi took it and took a sip, then ate the sandwich with a smile.

Tachibana understood that Xiaozhi was just in a good mood.

Xiaozhi ate very quickly, and saw that Tachibana still had some left in his hand after eating, "The sandwiches made by Aoi are really delicious, have you lived there all the time?"

"Well, Aoi is the landlord, and all our Sunrise members are tenants." After Tachibana finished speaking, he looked at Xiaozhi's face and said, "You should eat more, it's not good to be too thin."

"Yeah." Xiao Zhi nodded with a smile, and then ate the sandwich in Tachibana's hand in one bite.

"Hey, this is mine~" Tachibana said with a smile, licking the mayonnaise on her fingers.

"A Hiiragi," Xiaozhi looked at Tachibana's smiling face and got carried away again, hugged Tachibana tightly and said, "Stop renting Aoi's house, come back and live here!"

"No." Tachibana gently pushed Xiaozhi away, seeing the sadness flashing across Xiaozhi's face, Tachibana hurriedly explained, "It's great that all the members of SUNRISE live together, communication is timely, and rehearsal is also very convenient! "

"Oh." It turned out to be the reason, Xiaozhi smiled lightly, "Then... If I don't have a schedule, can I go to your place to find you?"

"Don't you always come to see me?" Tachibana said strangely.

"I mean... as long as the work is not started, I want to spend the night there." Xiaozhi was afraid that Tachibana would refuse, and looked at Tachibana with some expectation and said.

"I didn't say I forgive you~" Tachibana raised her chin and said proudly, "If it wasn't because it's the competition period and we still need you to help us make suggestions, I wouldn't let you spend the night there."

"Yeah." Xiao Zhi looked disappointed, and nodded with his lips pursed.Glancing at Tachibana, Xiaozhi squeezed out an ugly smile again, and said to himself, "It's okay, in fact, I'm already very happy to be able to sit with you and have breakfast like today."

Tachibana frowned, not wanting to look at Xiaozhi's face.After clearing the table, Tachibana put the bento box into a paper bag and put it away at the entrance.Looking at the house, Tachibana thought of the days when he and Xiaozhi lived together.If the messy room is left to Xiaozhi, it is estimated that it will not be cleaned in a day.

"You throw all the things you don't need into the trash bag, and I'll vacuum." Tachibana said, and went to the utility room to get the vacuum cleaner.

Xiaozhi threw all the beer cans and all kinds of waste into the garbage bag as Tachibana said, and Tachibana put all the messy things in the house back into place.Xiao Zhi took a rag to wipe the floating dust on all the faces, and Tachibana started to vacuum.Xiaozhi tidied up his music supplies, Tachibana took clean bedding and changed the sheets and duvet covers in the master bedroom.Tachibana put the dirty sheets and clothes in the laundry basket into the washing machine to wash, then went to the kitchen and rearranged the kitchen supplies.

With Tachibana as the conductor, Xiaozhi's house has taken on a completely new look.After looking at the results of three hours, the house returned to the way it was before Tachibana left.Xiaozhi was very moved, seeing Tachibana went to the balcony to dry the sheets again, Xiaozhi had the urge to hug Tachibana and beg him to come back.

"It's done!" Tachibana stood under the moving clothes rail and pulled the corner of the quilt, turned around and saw Xiaozhi who was a little absent-minded, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Go in." Then he walked into the living room first.

"A Hiiragi..." Xiaozhi frowned and followed Tachibana into the living room, Tachibana looked back at him, waiting for him to speak.Xiao Zhi hesitated to speak, finally pursed his lips, shook his head slightly, "It's okay."

Tachibana touched the frame of the TV and found that Xiaozhi had wiped it off just now, so he said with a smile, "I'm going to throw it away, what are you doing wiping it~"

Xiaozhi brought an old sheet and prepared to cover it up, "I'm going to put it in the utility room for storage."

"It takes up a lot of space, so let's lose it." Tachibana said while looking at the TV.

Xiao Zhi frowned, and said in embarrassment, "This is the first thing you bought after we lived together, I think... just keep it as a souvenir."

Lihua's heart felt uncomfortable again, he bit his lip and thought for a while, supported the TV and said, "I lost it, I'll buy you a new TV, the same one I bought, don't lose your temper and ruin it."

Xiaozhi didn't say anything, just stepped forward and hugged Tachibana.

Tachibana smiled and patted Xiaozhi on the back, "Let's go, I happened to go to the commercial street to have lunch, and then I went to buy a TV."

"Yeah!" Xiaozhi nodded happily, and then went into the room to change clothes.

Xiaozhi wore a loose sweater, a mask and a hat so as not to be recognized by fans.The two went to eat strong Kansai food, and then went to the shopping mall to buy a TV together.

Xiao Zhi felt that today was the happiest day, not only resting, but Tachibana was with her all day long.It's been a long time since they walked the streets together, ate together, and went shopping together.

Although Xiao Zhi wore a mask, Tachibana knew that he was in a good mood.Bought the latest TV model of the same brand as before, Tachibana went to check out, then packed the receipt and all the receipts and handed them to Xiaozhi.

Tachibana said gently, "Remember to keep the phone open, someone else will."

"Well, I know." Xiao Zhi also said softly, "Wait to watch a movie?"

Seeing Tachibana's hesitant expression, Xiaozhi quickly said, "We haven't seen a movie together for more than a year."

"Okay." Tachibana said lightly.It feels weird, like trying to fall in love with this person all over again.

When they got into the elevator together, Xiaozhi secretly glanced sideways at Tachibana, Tachibana raised his head to look at him, Xiaozhi turned his head in embarrassment.

"A Hiiragi, thank you for buying me a TV." Xiaozhi said softly, turning her head.

Tachibana smiled lightly and did not speak.

Bang, boom, the elevator stopped suddenly, and it was pitch black in the elevator.

"What's going on?" Tachibana was very nervous, "Is it a power outage?"

Beep, beep, beep, the air defense siren sounded.

"The siren." Xiao Zhi approached Tachibana in the dark, "Could it be a fire?"

Lihua took a step forward, knocked on the door quickly, and shouted, "Is there anyone outside? Is there anyone outside? We are trapped in the elevator!" voice, but it seems to be far away, "Xiao Zhi, we may be trapped on the half floor."

Squeak——, the elevator slipped a little.Bang——, and then it seemed to be stuck somewhere.All the sounds in the darkness made people nervous, Tachibana unconsciously grasped Xiao Zhi's hand.

"Don't be afraid, if there is a power outage, it will be fine when the power supply is restored." Xiao Zhi put his arms around Tachibana, comforting him.

"Xiao, Xiaozhi... We, will we die?" Lihua was a little scared, especially after Xiaozhi hugged her, Lihua felt even more flustered, and immediately hugged Xiaozhi tightly.

"It's okay, it's just a power outage." Xiaozhi just comforted Tachibana, listening to the siren outside the elevator, Xiaozhi knew that it was more than just a power outage.Xiaozhi took off the mask and put it in his purse, "Fortunately, we are together, Hiiragi, I always feel that no matter what happens, as long as we are together, I will not be afraid of anything, even if I die Don't be afraid."

"Is there anyone down there—?" A voice called from above.

"Someone—! We're trapped in the elevator—!" Hyoji yelled.

"Open the emergency escape door at the top—!" said the voice from above, "There is a button right behind the center line of the elevator door—!"

Xiaozhi stretched out his hand and jumped up. When he landed, the elevator shook again.

"Don't move around!" Lihua said, holding Xiaozhi up, "I'm holding you, touch and see!"

"Yeah." Xiao Zhi raised his hands high, Tachibana hugged his thigh and pushed up hard, Xiao Zhi quickly touched a round button.

One click, bang——the top of the elevator cracked upwards.

"A Hiiragi, go higher!" Xiaozhi said, and as the fireworks were raised, he pushed up the escape door at the top.

The light of the flashlight came down, like a glimmer of hope in the dark, Tachibana looked at the light, feeling like crying.

The man above took a flashlight to shine on himself, and then shone the light on the escape door at the top of the elevator, "I am the security guard of the mall. The mall is completely out of power now. We have already called the police. The firefighters will be back soon. Don't worry!" Hurry up, wait a minute."

"Why did the elevator slide down?" Xiaozhi asked loudly.

"I don't know!" The security guard also shouted.

Squeak——, as he spoke, the elevator quickly slid down a whole floor.Bang——, and then got stuck again.

The elevator shook violently, and both Tachibana and Xiaozhi fell to the ground.

"Are you all right—!" The people above shouted loudly.

Xiaozhi helped Tachibana stand up, and then shouted to the security guard above, "Can we go up first, the elevator keeps going down like this, if we fall down, we will die!"

"I'm just a security guard, and I'm just in charge of the elevator on the top floor. I don't have the tools to save you, so I can only wait for the rescue team to come." The security guard leaned against the elevator on the top floor and said with a smile, "Don't move around now, I tell you to open the door." The escape door can only help you not die from lack of oxygen~”

Boom——an explosion occurred on the top floor, and the strong airflow of hot flames rushed the security guard who was still talking just now into the elevator entrance.The security guard was joking just now, but in just a few seconds, he fell directly from the top floor and fell to the top of the elevator.Several of the belts pulling the entire elevator were burned by the flames that had just rushed into the elevator shaft.

"Ah!" Tachibana yelled in horror.

Bang, boom, the flashlight fell through the escape door at the top of the elevator.

"A Hiiragi!" Xiaozhi picked up the flashlight on the ground, the light flickered, but luckily it didn't break, "We can't stay in the elevator like this!"

"Yes, get out of the elevator quickly!" Tachibana grasped Xiaozhi's hand with a trembling voice, "Fortunately we are together, Xiaozhi, if we can get out alive this time..." Tachibana's voice was a little choked up, "We. .We'll be together!"

"I won't let you die, I want to be with you!" Xiao Zhi hugged Tachibana's knees, and hugged Tachibana vigorously, "Hurry up and grab the top, Hiiragi, you climb to the top of the elevator first!"
