[Comprehensive] Kazuya's happy life

--What are you afraid of?

The voice of the young Qingyue seemed to have a strange force that hit the softest part of the heart, and it hit Tsuruga Lian's heart heavily.

……yes.

What are you worried about, what are you afraid of?

The person sitting in front of him was Kazuya.

They had shared with each other the deepest and most hidden secrets in their hearts. He once completely opened up his heart to him, telling the inferiority, unwillingness and "Ling Yun" that he thought he would not confess to anyone. ambition".

These and also accepted calmly.

The attitude of naturally accepting all of himself is something that he can still feel warm and peaceful every time he recalls it during the darkest and most depressing period.

——This person, knows the most real Tsuruga Ren... No, it should be said, Jiu Yuan.

The stiff and stunned look on the black-haired man's face gradually softened and eased.

"You taught me a lesson again."

He raised his hand to cover his forehead, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, showing a wonderful smile that was both happy and relaxed, but also somewhat helpless and awkward:

"It was like this eight years ago, and it will be like this eight years later... Kazuya, although you are younger than me, you unexpectedly see things more clearly than me—whether it was before or now."

As he spoke, he put down the palm that was blocking his eyes, and looked at the black-haired boy opposite with a smile on his face:

"It really hasn't changed at all, Kazuya."

"..."—I don't know if being said like this can be regarded as a compliment.

He also raised his eyebrows.

He rarely does such moves.Generally speaking, he has clear brows and soft expressions, so that makes him look extraordinarily different whenever he makes a different expression.

"Of course I can't compare with you on this point, can I, Mr. Tsuruga?"

Deliberately accentuated the pronunciation of the word "Tsuru", and as expected, the man across from him smiled wryly after hearing it, but Kazuya didn't feel happy at all.

On the contrary, he suddenly felt a little dispirited.

The reason why he came here today was just to get an answer.

He just wanted to know why Jiu Yuan violated the agreement and didn't contact him.

It was one of the few things he had ever thought about until the day he died.

Kazuya thought that his current state of mind was probably equivalent to wanting to "deadly understand" to some extent.

...Oh, I accidentally thought of something unlucky again.

His expression gradually calmed down.

As soon as Tsuruga Ren, who was on the opposite side, saw the change in Kazuya's expression, she instinctively sensed that something was wrong!

Although he couldn't clearly describe what was wrong, but he subconsciously understood that if he didn't make the "correct" choice next time, then this time, he might really lose his eyesight completely. This lost and found childhood friend!

Such a thing...absolutely not!

The moment this idea popped up in his mind, he naturally corrected his original relaxed sitting posture, and at the same time, his eyes met Kazuya's gaze without avoiding it:

"You really said something that I couldn't refute at all, Kazuya."

Kazuya raised his eyebrows again when he heard the words: "Isn't that the truth?"

This rhetorical question made the faint wry smile on Tsuruga Lian's face that had not yet faded seem to have a tendency to deepen.

"yes……"

He closed his eyes and answered softly.

"So I owe you a reasonable explanation. But not until then."

"Although I said it once before, before I tell you something frank, I think I should say it to you again."

"Sorry, Kazuya."

"Regardless of the reasons why I didn't abide by the agreement at the beginning, breaking my promise is breaking my promise. If our two positions were reversed today, I would not be able to be as tolerant as you. So besides apologizing, I also To say thank you—thank you for still being willing to give me the chance to explain, and for giving me the chance to continue being your friend."

Lian spoke this passage very sincerely, the lines of her face collapsed very tightly, her gaze fell on Kazuya's face rightly, as if she wanted to find out any slight emotional changes in Kazuya.

He also let him watch calmly and calmly.

He wasn't untouched.

Even, he was a little relieved—the Jiu Yuan he knew hadn't grown into a bad adult.

He was not trying to deceive Kazuya with his superb acting skills, but he said the above words sincerely.

This point alone was enough to bring back a little warmth to Kazuya's already cooled heart.

However, if the other party thinks that they can impress Kazuya in one fell swoop just by doing this, then they are thinking too simply.

So although Kazuya was indeed touched in his heart, he didn't show it at all on the surface.

And the person opposite should also understand that some things cannot be resolved in a few words, so after finishing that paragraph, he didn't say anything more, and honestly began to explain:

"In the beginning, I didn't contact you with Kazuya as agreed, but it was actually because... I wanted to give you a surprise."

As these words were spoken, the expression on Tsuruga Lian's face seemed to become a little nostalgic and a little inexplicably sad for a moment, and her tone became full of memories:

"At that time, I just returned to the United States with the old... that person, I remembered what I said to you before..."

[Although Jiu Yuan has worked very hard, can you try harder?Like I'm trying to catch up to my brother? 】

[I know that if you don't have talent, no matter how hard you work, you may not be able to catch up.I also know that the reason why I can say that if I work hard, I will definitely reach where I am is because I am also a person with talent——I knew this a long time ago. 】

【But precisely because of the talent, so...you have to work hard and let the talent go to waste, right? 】

[Jiu Yuan is a very talented person.I can guarantee this!So... try to look harder, Jiu Yuan. 】

【In that case, definitely...】

——For some reason, the conversation with this person in front of me obviously happened a long, long time ago, and Kazuya thought that he must have lost his memory after so long, but when Tsuruga Lian started verbatim When retelling, Kazuya was one step ahead of the other party, remembering every word and every sentence he had said to the other party.

Was he... so precocious?

And also thought suddenly.

He knew that from a very young age, he seemed to think a little more than his peers.

But I didn't expect it to start from such a young age...

Oops.

I don't know why, but suddenly I feel a little shy.

Kazuya lowered his eyes silently, trying to maintain a calm expression, and tried his best to control the scorching heat that kept rushing to his cheeks.

On the other hand, Tsuruga Lian didn't seem to notice his strangeness at all, and continued to say:

"So I thought, I'll try to work harder like Kazuya said. If you want to defeat that person, no matter when or what you start, it can't be said to be too early."

"So I started to run to the actors' union very diligently, looking for opportunities for roles that suit me—since I said I wanted to defeat that person, of course I couldn't rely on his strength."

"I was rejected many times at the beginning. No one knew that I was the son of that person, so naturally no one would give me any preferential treatment."

"Sometimes I was obviously very suitable for the role, but I was rejected for various reasons... To be honest, during that time, I was really depressed and depressed."

"When I feel that I can't go on, it's not that I haven't thought about contacting Kazuya. I want to get support and encouragement from you, and get the courage to continue."

"But I'm always holding a grudge in my heart. I want to tell you the good news after I succeed, and give you a big 'surprise'. Let you know that, as you said, as long as you work hard, One day it will get what it deserves.”

"So it just kept on procrastinating."

"Finally one day, I received a very suitable role. That was the best opportunity I could get at that time."

"I was really happy at the time, and I really wanted to tell you right away, but then I thought, it would be better to wait until the results come out, and then talk together, the impact will be even greater."

"Unfortunately, in the end..."

But because he was still a rookie actor, but he didn't obey the director's order, he was expelled from the crew...

"Kazuya, do you remember? How high was my self-esteem back then?"

Speaking of the most unforgettable experience, Tsuruga Lian put on a deep wry smile on her face.

"How can I tell you about being expelled for disobeying the director's order? But if I contacted you at that time... I can't guarantee that I won't complain to you and seek comfort from you. "

"I don't want to make myself appear so powerless and weak in front of you."

So I continued to postpone the time to contact you.

However, affected by this incident, my mentality gradually became unbalanced. The more I wanted to make achievements, the more I was eager to become popular, and it often became a waste of time.

I spent every day in a senseless busyness, when I realized...

"I haven't contacted you for more than half a year."

"I blamed myself and was afraid that you would get angry." So I really hesitated for a long time, and finally got up the courage to dial the number I knew by heart.

however……

From the other side of the phone, there were only bursts of busy tones that made one's heart feel empty...

He also couldn't help but sighed slightly when he heard this.

There was a busy tone or something... of course it was.

Soon after Tsuruga Lian bid farewell to him, the old man became seriously ill and passed away.

After her funeral, the family members simply closed the mansion because they didn't want to see things and think about people, thinking that they would stay there for a long time, so they only left the phone number and address there for Kazuya, Naturally, it is impossible to receive contact from Tsuruga Lian in half a year later...

So this is the so-called "missed for a while, and missed for a lifetime"?

Is this what he still brooded about in his last life until his death, the truth about the loss of contact with his childhood friend?

For some reason, Kazuya suddenly felt helpless and powerless at this moment.

And the person on the other side who should have been more responsible for what happened to the two of them in the end, didn't know what Kazuya was thinking at this time, but just continued to tell:

"I was really anxious at that time, because I couldn't reach you anyway - the phone was busy, and there was no response to the letter. In the end, I had no choice but to ask that person's acquaintance in Japan to go there to see your situation."

However, the mansion is closed, and the neighbors do not know the contact information of the old man's children. The friend of the man wanted to help with a "simple" investigation, but found that all the information about the old man had been sealed up. Can't find any information...

——When the other party said this, Kazuya remembered belatedly, as if he had heard Haruko's mother mention by chance that the old man and Haruko's mother's distant family seemed to be very famous in Kyoto. clan……

That's why the person invited by Tsuruga Lian's father and friend returned without success?

He secretly guessed.

"At that time, I really thought that I would never see you again."

The man on the opposite side raised his eyes while talking, and his eyes fell on Kazuya quietly:

"So you can imagine how I felt when I found out that you are you."

Surprised and unbelievable.

Both hopeful and impossible.

The reaction of the whole person became strange.

To even do that to Kazuya...

It's really embarrassing to go home.

However, I am really very happy.

Unexpectedly... just because of a chance encounter, I was able to reunite with He Ye.

The man's gaze was focused and gentle, fixedly staring at Kazuya, as if worried that he would disappear from his eyes without warning.

Under such staring eyes, even if the state of mind has always been calm and indifferent, he can't say any unfeeling words...

Kazuya sighed slightly——
