next stop king

sorry?

Really sorry?

……

Hehe, for a man as strong as him to show such a vulnerable side, shouldn't he be proud of having Shuichi Mori?

He stared at the pair of gloomy eyes a few steps away, and glanced at the hesitant movement that wanted to step forward.Arimori Hideichi couldn't help but secretly sighed in his heart, shook his head lightly, turned around and walked back to the room, letting Kyoko take care of the guests first.He took two cans of coffee himself, closed the door and stood in front of the man in the corridor again.

"Lian, since you don't want to go in, let's go to the rooftop to chat."

He casually threw the aluminum can in the man's hand, pointed to the direction of the elevator on the left, and walked over without waiting for the other's answer.

It was seven o'clock in the evening, and it was the time for every household to rest, entertain, and enjoy dinner.

Standing in the elevator, looking at the flickering lights of different colors on the street in the distance, I really don't know what to say.

This feeling of wanting to break the deadlock but being unable to do so, I'm afraid the man next to me is the same.

Why do you know?

Because... he looks a lot like him.Also because they belong to the same category of people.

'Ding! '

"Xiuyi, it seems to have arrived."

A pleasant bell rang, and the elevator gates slid open to both sides.Tsuruga Lian looked at the dozen or so stairs facing the door, grabbed the apparently absent-minded young man behind him and walked up.

To say that today was a rare rest day, but because of his own whim, he almost turned this beautiful day into a different look.

The audition on a whim, and the aggressiveness when facing the company's newcomers.Coupled with what happened later... His image in the minds of everyone present at that time may have been so low that it couldn't be lowered.

Oh, the image.

It's really hard to wear the mask of this perfect, good man all your life.

Pushing open the last door leading to the roof of the building, feeling the refreshing night breeze, the two stood one after the other in this open environment full of flowers and plants.

Find a place to sit down, and opened the lid of the drink in her hand. Just when Tsuruga Lian was about to say something to change the current silence, the guy who had come back to life jumped up and down to the railing, leaning against it He closed his eyes comfortably.

"Ah-hmm, the wind is really comfortable."

Arimori supported the guardrail with both hands, closed his eyes and raised his head slightly on purpose.

Facing the wind and feeling the refreshing coolness, it only takes a few seconds for the whole person to become transparent, and the troubled and complicated mood can also be healed.

He just stood there, took a few deep breaths, and when he turned his body around again, a pair of bright, vibrant and admirable dark eyes appeared in front of the man opposite him.

"Lian, do you know? In fact, I am quite contradictory."

"I like to be lively, but I can't do without loneliness. It's okay when I'm working. Once I'm free, I either stay at home alone, or go to a place where no one else can find me except myself."

"I really don't think about things like family, friends, and job ideals. Isn't it strange? Haha, otherwise, how could I be said to have no conscience."

Throwing away the drink bottle in his hand, he laughed at himself and stared at the man sitting on the stone bench not far away.He really never thought that the two of them could sit together like today, talking about such a topic calmly.

This man has a strong and steady personality. Although he also has a weak side in his heart, what he hides is very deep.

Losing control, getting angry, getting angry, these things that he can't even imagine can happen to him, I really have to sigh his luck.

After this accident, if I want this man to show such a fragile expression, I'm afraid it can only be in a dream.

"Xiuyi, can you tell me why you want to become an artist?"

"Why do you want to be an artist?"

Hearing this question, the boy who was playing with the aluminum can visibly paused.He looked at the man who had finished drinking coffee and put down the bottle more than a dozen steps away with some incomprehension, straightened up and walked slowly over.

"why?"

"Well, this has always been my ideal. Although the family conditions are very good, and there is no need to worry about food and clothing, but for a man, isn't it more important to fulfill the ideal in his heart?"

"I like the feeling of acting! Experience the stories of different characters and feel the hearts of different characters. Especially at the moment when you meet an equal opponent, that kind of excitement and sense of accomplishment when you compete with each other and stimulate your full potential is simply amazing in the world. The most beautiful thing ever."

This kid is a born actor!

Seeing the excited look of the young man in front of her with her own eyes, Tsuruga Lian was abnormally disappointed.

Ordinarily, he should have such things as ideals, but compared with the person in front of him, he is not so simple.

Oh, what is he for?

It is neither for dreams nor to reflect one's own value.It's just...it's just that I want a different life from before.

But, dream...

A long, long time ago, he seemed to have had one too.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this for now. Xiuyi, please come here."

He waved to the child in front of him, and watched him walk over suspiciously. When the distance between the two was only one or two steps away, the young man sitting on the stone bench suddenly stretched out his arms and threw his body The thin and thin boy was pulled into his arms.

"Lian! You..."

"Shh, hold still, let me see your neck."

Before the person in her arms could finish speaking, Tsuruga Lian forcefully transferred his body to him and sat on her lap.

He unbuttoned the neckline and turned down the collar that blocked his neck. Taking advantage of the bright lights on the roof, the scene that caught his eyes still made him breathe hard, and the palm on the opponent's shoulder couldn't help but tremble.

What did he do? !

The bluish-black scars on the fair skin, just looking at them now will make you feel pain!What's more, what about the time when he was pinched tightly?

Tsuruga Ren, you are an asshole!

"Senior, I'm really fine. You see, my speaking and movement are not affected, it doesn't matter at all."

Sensing the change in the breathing of the man beside him, Arimori Hideichi resisted the pain and turned his neck left and right to show him.But who would have thought that something that I thought could be done easily, but when I turned to the right and touched the opponent's shoulder, an accident happened.

"what--!"

"Xiuyi! You..."

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, Lian, don't be so excited."

He grabbed the man's arm desperately, sucked in the cold air, and tried little by little to return his neck to its original position.

Okay, now it's difficult, isn't it?Not only was the effort to show that he was nothing, it was completely in vain, but it also made the injury that had just recovered not long ago even more painful.

The tense, congested, convulsive feeling like needle pricks when you move your neck really makes people unable to get used to it for a while.

"What do you want me to say about you? Sit down quickly and don't move around!"

Trying to control herself to make her voice as calm as possible, Tsuruga Lian supported the back of the boy in her arms with one arm, and at the same time, with the other free palm, she took out a glass bottle from the coat pocket on her side. Got it.

"Lian, this is?"

"A medicine for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis."

Unscrew the bottle cap casually, pour out some light yellow liquid and put it in the palm of your hand.After rubbing his palms together a few times, he put his palms on the neck of the child in his arms.

"I asked Mr. She to get these from my friends who were from the theater in the afternoon. According to them, the effects of these potions are pretty good."

Do these things work well?

Hope it's really good.

If he really had to stay at home and rest for a few days, he would really feel quite boring.

Sitting on the man's lap, feeling the movement of those hands on the neck carefully for fear of hurting him, Yumori Shuichi suddenly felt a burst of relief for no reason, and couldn't help laughing in a low voice.

In his opinion, this guy next to him is really cute.It gives people the impression that sometimes it is as powerful as a god who is powerful and intimidating, and sometimes it is pure and simple for people to understand at a glance.

Drugs for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis?

If the external medicine used on the skin surface is applied so carefully, by the time it takes effect, there will probably be nothing left.

"Haha senior, you can't do this, you'd better look at me!"

With stunned eyes, he pulled away the fluffy palm on his neck, took the bottle in the opponent's hand, poured some liquid, rubbed it on his hands a few times, gritted his teeth and became cruel!With all his strength, he put his hands on his neck and rubbed them quickly.

Pain, right?

Sour, right?

However, he is Amaterasu!If the medicine for external use does not rub against and produce heat as soon as possible, who knows how long it will take to recover! ?

Never mind, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, since it has the same effect as safflower oil, rubbing it vigorously must not be wrong!

"Xiuyi!—You!"

"I'm fine! I'm fine! I'm fine! I'm fine! Absolutely, absolutely, it doesn't hurt at all, it doesn't hurt at all!"

In the dumbfounding scene, in the scene where Tsuruga Ren didn't know how to describe it at all, there was Mori Shuichi biting his cheek, eyes wide open, shaking his handsome eyebrows desperately with his palms Rubbing the bruise on his neck.The rustling sound, the tones intertwined with his own long and short snorts, I really don't know how to be evaluated.

"Xiuyi, you guy is really..."

"You're done!"

Before Tsuruga Lian finished speaking, the young man who felt the heat in his palms and neck immediately jumped up from the man's lap, ran a few steps away and yelled something loudly, relieving the pain that had accumulated for a long time.

shame?image?

Where does he have the time to take care of this!

Anyway, his personality in front of acquaintances is the same, anyway, he is the most hurt right now.Presumably judging by the strength of the man behind him, it must be nothing bad.

However, speaking of it... the effect of this medicine is really good.It has only been used for a few minutes, and the soreness has been relieved a lot. It is really a special medicine for professionals.

"Is it not hurting, Xiuyi?"

Noticing that the yelling lively boy had quieted down, Tsuruga Ren lamented that she knew him a little more, and suddenly remembered something that both Takada Raleigh and himself were very curious about.

He did not forget the scene of the audition on the stage a few hours ago.

The child's tone and reaction, which is so familiar to the whole script, plot, and lines, is so strange no matter how you look at it.If he didn't have a script in hand, why did he know those lines?

"Xiuyi, have you read the script "Forest of Mist"?"

"Huh?...Well...forget it, I've seen it."

I don't know if I should explain that the script was written by Shuichi Arimori in his hands, but after hesitating for a long time, he finally decided to get away with it first.

Anyway, there are so many screenwriters in this world, one less than him is a lot, and there is not much more than him.To be admitted immediately when asked, no matter how you look at it, it seems like showing off.

Have you seen it?

Sure enough... this child is just like what the president said, there are still many secrets about him that no one knows.

Noticing the words used by the child in front of him just now, Tsuruga Ren suddenly remembered what Takada Raleigh had said to him before leaving the company.Now it seems that this little guy not only has a difficult family background, but also has a lot of secrets about himself.

However, as their president said.It is not the time to ask these things, unless they have been together for a year or so, otherwise it is best not to ask about these things.The aristocratic family has the style of dealing with things, although this child seems to be informal and lively, but who knows whether those things they are curious about are taboos of others.

You can still be friends if you don't ask, but if you ask and become strangers from now on, it's really uneconomical.

"Xiuyi, since you are very familiar with that script, have you ever thought about playing a role in it?"

"Play a role in it?"

As soon as Arimori Shuu heard this sentence, he glanced at the man in front of him with a strange expression, completely unable to understand what he was thinking.None of the main characters in that show are suitable for him in any way.

Whether it's the two feuding male protagonists who fell in love with each other, or several other very important supporting roles, looking at the whole script, except for the boy who belonged to the fuse and was skipped by him, there is really nowhere to be found. less than other...

etc!that boy? !

Was that the character he was talking about? !

"Senior, the role you said you want me to play is that 'Tou'?"

"Yes, it is the character who was mentioned by the original author."

Tsuruga Lian cast an admiring look at the young man who was a little bit transparent a few steps away, and continued to speak with ten slender fingers intertwined and clasped together.

"The president means that although this script is excellent, it is still not suitable for domestic use."

"Although the plot and character creation are excellent, in this country where the mind is still not very open, it is still somewhat impossible for the public to accept that kind of plot arrangement. So President Takara came up with an idea and decided in Another character who eases the conflict is created between the two protagonists. Naturally, the teenager who died of illness has become a stabilizer to adjust the audience's feelings."

"How about Xiuyi, are you interested? I think, judging from your performance this month, you are already playing the role of my younger brother..."

"enough!"
