next stop king

December [-]th is the day when the Japan Film Festival Federation's year-end awards are presented, and it is also the day when Hideichi Arimori officially enters his first year of life.

Naturally, there was no need to talk about the grand occasion of the awards ceremony that night, and there was no suspense about whether the superstars under the LME could actually win the awards.The Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor in film and television have been successively won by Ren Tsuruga and Shuichi Arimori, not to mention the Best Supporting Actor, Leading Actor, and Best Newcomer of the Year in TV dramas. Take them all.

Afterwards, Dooming broke through the siege of the reporters and made a symbolic appearance at the reception.After successfully boarding the car and rushing back to the company headquarters, meeting Tsuruga Ren and transferring to the Arimori home bus.When the car slowly drove into the gate of the family manor, it was almost two or three o'clock in the morning.

After being reminded by Ryosuke Kaguchi in the front seat, he was woken up by Ren Tsuruga next to him. He calmed down a little and sat in the back seat quietly looking at the inner house that was getting closer.Although I was very surprised that I didn't see any of the guests at the birthday party, but as long as I thought about it, I didn't need to ask at all, and I could immediately guess the whole thing pretty well.

Want to take advantage of today's good opportunity when he brings Dun Helian home to settle the score with him?

Needless to say, everyone knew that this matter was definitely the idea of ​​his extremely capricious grandfather!

"Young master, Mr. Dunhe, the inner house has arrived. Judging by today's situation, the old master Qingyan must still be waiting for you two to come back. I think it's getting late, shouldn't we go in?"

Taking advantage of the time when the driver parked the car at the entrance of the inner house, Ryosuke Karuguchi, who had already felt that the atmosphere was not right, hurriedly greeted his young master and his friends to get out of the car.

Afterwards, while walking behind his young master, he walked beside Dun Helian and introduced him the situation of the family in a low voice, and waited until the three of them stepped into the front door and walked into the hallway.There was a light brushing sound, and at the same time the sliding door on the left side of the corridor facing the entrance was opened, two old men, one in blue and one in black, dressed in two-color kimonos with completely different appearances, walked out from the inside with unclear expressions.

"Grandpa...Grandpa, why are you sitting here with Grandpa Kong? The reception room is only for ordinary visitors...Could it be that there are still guests at home today?"

"Guest? Huh! You don't have to think about it, kid!" With his eyes narrowed and his hands in his sleeves hugging him in front of him, Yousen Qingyan cast an annoyed glance at his grandson who hadn't known he had returned home for a whole year, and then his gaze shifted away. To the tall man standing beside him.

Short hair, tall, real face looks pretty good, although standing there still looks like a fool, but who knows how far the real knowledge can reach.

Although his old man did say that it doesn't matter if he is a man or a woman, but not everyone can be worthy of such a perfect little grandson of his family!

"Mr. Arimori met for the first time. I am Tsuruga Ren from the same brokerage company as Xiuyi. The reason why I came back to visit with Xiuyi today is because..."

"Because? Don't be busy because!"

The two consecutive addresses of Xiuyi and Xiuyi made the old man with an old face unconsciously twitch the corners of his eyes. He wandered around the two children in front of him for a long time with unclear vision and unfriendly expressions, and then he put the arms in front of him. Putting down his left index finger, he pointed at the man Tsuruga Ren who was staring at him.

"Good boy! Tsuruga Ren, right? Come with me alone!"

"Master, grandpa!?... Lian... Lian you?!"

Aomori Aoiwa dropped this sentence and nodded to himself, then turned his head and turned into the corridor on the left. Before Arimori Shuichi could say something else completely, Tsuruga Ren, who was standing beside him, also used a At this moment, he patted him on the shoulder and nodded to the other old man opposite him, heeled up and walked over.

Some worried and wanted to follow up to find out what happened. I couldn't imagine what kind of problems my grandfather would come up with to embarrass my lover.He just lifted his foot and took a step out, when a cold gaze that suddenly seemed to have substance hit his heart instantly.

"Empty... grandpa?"

"Xiuyi, as a disciple I taught alone, have you forgotten what I said when you were young?"

Under the bright light, Sanada Soraichi's eyes flickered with a frightening cold light. Although there was no trace of expression on Fang Zhengyingwu's face, the awe-inspiring aura from the inside out made people feel frightened. You have to be careful and deal with it carefully.

"As a warrior, you must keep a clear mind at all times, and you can't be easily swayed by the desires in your heart because of emotions! Do you think your grandfather will do anything to him if he tells him to go over? The expression just now made you feel so disgusted. , It really makes me unable to connect it with the usual you!"

"Grandpa Kong, I..."

"What about you? Do you think Qingyan will deliberately embarrass that guy? Go to the room and change clothes, and find me in the dojo within 10 minutes!"

It was an order, not a negotiation, and Hideka Arimori was not given time to object at all. Sora Sanada, who was dressed in a black kimono and had short gray hair, had already strode and disappeared in the corridor leading to the dojo on the right side of the entrance.

One left and one right, one literary and one military.

Arimori Aoiwa and Sanada Souichi, it is really uncertain what will happen to Tsuruga Ren and Arimori Hideichi who were separated by the two.

Somewhat frustrated, he went back to the room, and with the help of Ryosuke Kaguchi, he changed into the clothes he wore during kendo practice.The front foot followed the back foot all the way to the door of the dojo on the right side of the independent inner courtyard, and waved to the worried Ryosuke Kaguchi next to him, showing a smile that was a little uglier than crying, watching him step by step and turning back three times unwillingly After the reluctance disappeared, Arimori Shuichi stood outside the door and took a few deep breaths and patted his cheek, forcing himself to cheer up.

He didn't have time to care about what drama was going on between his grandfather and Tsun He Lian, so let's use all his strength to overcome the difficulty in front of him first.

Sanada Sora caught the flaw and reprimanded him in the dojo because he was restless?

He didn't want to torture himself to that extent!

Silently clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, walked into the dojo and closed the door, only to be greeted by a turbulent momentum and a black shadow flying overhead.

As if instinctively, he turned his body sideways and raised his hand to grab it upwards. The moment his arm fell and his wrist turned, a bamboo knife was held in his hand.After that, he walked firmly to Sanada Sora one or two steps away and stood up, raised the weapon in his hand and lightly touched the opposite one twice.He took a deep breath, closed his eyes and opened them in one breath to expel all the turbid air in his body, when he opened his eyes again!Look up again!When he turned his eyes to the old man in front of him again, confidence and firmness appeared on him.

"Please advise, Grandpa Kong!"

With a light drink, no more nonsense.Arimori Hideichi raised the bamboo knife and slashed at Sanada Soraichi's chest!

The movements under the feet are small and orderly, and when the arms are raised slightly to reach the highest point, they fall down with all their strength to increase their momentum.When the black shadow like an oolong fell, it collided with a phantom that suddenly flashed in front of it. 'Snapped! ' A crisp sound immediately filled the audience!

……

"sit!"

He casually pointed to the seat in front of him for the person to sit down, and the gray-haired old man turned his attention to the steaming clay pot in his hand without saying a word.

After waiting for the boiling water to continue to tumbling for three or four minutes, he took out the tea utensils on the low table and cleaned them all up.In the picture of grinding tea, adding water, and concentrating on his expression, after more than ten minutes, a bowl of green tea, which is as green as transparent emeralds, makes people can't help admiring. He brewed it, put it down, and gently pushed it to the knee of the young man in front of him forward.

Ever since she followed the old man to sit here, Tsuruga Lian has been watching quietly without saying a word.Until now, when the old man who met for the first time pushed the tea bowl over and motioned him to taste it, he met the other person's gaze, nodded, lifted the tea bowl to his nose with both hands, smelled it a few times, and handed it to his mouth side.

Sip slightly on the first sip.The second sip is a little more, letting the tea foam slide on the tip of the tongue.After the third and fourth sips, he slowly turned the bowl until he finished drinking the whole bowl of tea. Then he put down the tea set that felt moist in his hand and knew it was not ordinary, and slightly attached himself to push the tea bowl at hand back.

Immediately afterwards, watching the host take back the teacup, his eyes swept over the scrolls and utensils on the wall of the tea room one by one.When he completely withdrew his attention from the Chinese character 'tea' on the wall, the old man in front of him had put away all his things, extinguished the charcoal fire, and stared at him for a long time.

"It's the first time I've met Mr. Yumori. My junior is Tsuruga Ren, an artist under the LME, and at the same time... is also your grandson's chosen lover!"

In the action of bending over to salute, the air in the whole tea room seemed to freeze as soon as the word 'lover' came out.However, although this feeling is dignified, it is only a breath. When Tsuruga Lian finished the salute, she straightened her back and looked at the old man opposite again, that feeling had disappeared.

Under such circumstances, Arimori Aoiwa, who was sitting opposite Tsuruga Ren, kept his eyes firmly locked on Tsuruga Ren's body with a blank expression.It wasn't until I watched him kneeling and sitting for about five or six minutes, from head to toe, over and over again, that I closed my eyes slightly and narrowed my scrutiny.

It's just that this feeling is very faint, so faint that people who don't know him can hardly see it.So under this situation, even if he felt that the old man's gaze was no longer so severe, the man kneeling there still didn't dare to relax, for fear that any slack would lead to an irreversible accident in this meeting.

He still remembered that before coming here, Xiuyi had told him that what his grandfather valued most in front of outsiders were traditions and rules.So before he has been accepted and approved by the other party, it's better to tense up all the nerves and get [-] points.

"spouse?"

"Hmph, please forgive me for speaking bluntly. Tsuruga-kun, it's not that this old man is mocking you, it's really because of all your experiences in the showbiz, you are not a man who believes in feelings at all!"

In Tsuruga Ren's shocked expression, it seemed that Arimori Aoiwa, who had already understood everything, continued without giving him any time to think.

"After watching all the films you have made since you entered the entertainment circle, do you think that no one knows that you are acting when you are dealing with your feelings? Although the situation has improved in the past six months, but what if you let me be a grandfather? May I give you my most precious grandson with confidence?"

"You should also feel the sensitivity of that child, Xiuyi, right? That's right, he means that he is willing to give you a chance and believe in you, but I am an old man! I am an elder and a grandfather! I don't want this passage Unyielding feelings, what accidents will happen in the future because of certain things!"

"Acting? Lover? Hmph, Tsuruga-kun, as an outstanding actor, don't you ever think that your love for Xiuyi is subconsciously acting?"

Subconscious acting?

Is the love for Xiuyi a subconscious act? !

Do not!no!

Absolutely not!

It's like the dragon's reverse scale was touched, like being poked to the vitals by the opponent with a weapon in a fight.After hearing that sentence, the man kneeling there suddenly withdrew the smile that always hung on his face, and replaced it with darkness and danger.

The eyes that looked at the old man were full of aggression and dissatisfaction, and the palms on the legs were also tightly clenched into fists at the same time.The aura exuding from his body was earnest and a little crazy. Although he was still sitting there, judging from his stern expression, it did not rule out the possibility of making the other party take back the previous sentence by himself.

"What's the matter? Are you angry at what the old man said?"

Facing the turbulent and oppressive negative aura, Arimori Aoiwa still sat there calmly like a normal person.His eyes shot straight into Tsuruga Lian's pupils, and he glanced at the whitish fists clenched on his legs.Bit by bit, a clear smile gradually appeared on his face.

"Tsuruga-kun, we have three generations of the Mori family who take their feelings very seriously."

"Maybe you've also heard about what happened to Xiuyi's father, and maybe you've also heard about what happened to the old man before. From these two things, you should be able to see that whether it's the accident between Zhongqing and Ryosuke, It’s still the insistence of the old man and Kong Yi. As long as we have the relationship that the man of the Mori family has recognized and confirmed with his lover, even if the other party regrets it in the future, don’t even think about leaving us!”

Having said that, the smile on Arimori Aoiwa's face changed into seriousness instantly.

"Like Liangsuke, he rescued Zhongqing by chance, and was accidentally eaten by Zhongqing. Although he didn't care at first, the kid Zhongqing tied Liangsuke to him immediately after he came out of the army. And the old man The situation with Kong Yi is similar, after we recognized each other's feelings for each other, he passed the family to his son and moved here to me in order to reassure me! Xiu Yi is destined to inherit the Mori family business in the future, and you are here At that time! When there is a gap in the identity and status of the two, can you still guarantee that your feelings for him will remain as confident as before! Can you guarantee that your feelings for him will remain the same as before?!"

"Acting is actually not much different from life. Now you can immediately imagine if that kind of situation really happened, if you were misunderstood and insulted by others, whether you can still be like before—— think Xiuyi It's your lover!"

……

"Drink—!"

There was a light drink, followed by a series of crackling sounds, which came from between the two figures in the dojo again.

This contest, which lasted for more than an hour, looked evenly matched from a distance, but as long as you get a little closer, you can find that the old and the young in the contest have already decided the winner.

Yi Yi was sweating profusely all over his body, and Yi Yi was calm and relaxed, but sweated a little and panted a little.In the case of Mori Hideichi and Sanada Soraichi, you can immediately know who has the upper hand just by looking at it and without saying anything else.

To be honest, Arimori Shuichi's arm was already numb by this time.The reason why he didn't give up now, and the reason why he still attacked again and again, was because of the belief in his heart, because he would never give up lightly, and never underestimate his self-esteem just to be laughed at!

When he came back this time, he had expected to encounter various tests.Although the situation and location of the test were a bit strange, since he had already expected it, how could he give up lightly! ?

Feelings, love!

Lovers, homosexuals!

Perhaps it is precisely because Grandpa and Grandpa Kong are experienced people who clearly understand the difficulties of that relationship, so they want to test to see how far they can persist? !

Desperately mustering all the strength of his upper body to transfer to the arm muscles, while controlling the bamboo knife in his hand to attack Sanada Sora's side, he was always watching the opponent's movements and preparing to dodge at any time.

However, the idea was good, but he overestimated his remaining physical strength.

Before his attack could fall, the weapon in Sanada Soraichi's hand suddenly stabbed forward, and the moment he jumped forward, his free right hand grabbed his arm that was taken away, and threw him with a back fall. to the ground.

In fact, the competition between the two was no longer a simple competition of swordsmanship, but no matter which one the process belonged to, he still lost after Hideichi Mori persisted for an hour and more than 20 minutes!

"Again...Again! — Mmm!!"

Before he got up from the ground, Sanada Sora, who had been standing by the side condescendingly watching his struggle after the attack, saw that he was about to get up, suddenly raised the bamboo knife in his hand and pointed the tip of the knife at his throat.

"Come again?"

"Xiuyi, it seems that you have almost forgotten the teachings that Grandpa Kong taught you after being away from home for a year. It is important for a warrior to have self-knowledge. Do you think that even if you can still get up, do you still have any chance to defeat me?"

Ruju's eyes showed no fluctuating expression.Seeing this situation, Arimori Hideichi, who was being questioned, was taken aback for a moment, but after regaining his senses, he slapped the point of the knife on his throat and tried to sit up from the floor.

Then, following the bamboo knife in Sanada Soraichi's hand, he looked into his eyes, expressing clearly the persistence in his heart through his extremely serious gaze.With the expression on his face and the words in his mouth, the determination he expressed has never been as strong as it is at this moment today!

"Grandpa Kong, do you mean that I want to give up? Or do you always think that I, who was taught by you since childhood, don't even have such a firm belief?"

"Just like what you said to your son and grandson at Sanada's house, I can say it again! I have Mori Shuichi's lifelong love, and there is no one else except Tsuruga Ren!"

He was decisive, without any hesitation.Just when Shuichi Arimori finished yelling these words, the closed door of the dojo was suddenly pulled open, and two familiar figures walked in one after the other.

The smiling old man in front is Arimori Aoiwa.Walking behind him, he saw Arimori sitting on the ground dripping with sweat, and it was Tsuruga Ren who hurried over to check.

Seeing that Sanada Sora stepped aside and walked to Arimori Aoiwa, he raised his eyebrows slightly and turned his gaze to the young couple in the arena, which was obviously very obvious.

"Why, is your expression asking how my kid is doing, right? Hehe, don't worry, I told him that there are men from the Mori family who can only go in and out, and the lover must be tied by his side." He beckoned Sanada Sora lowered his head and put his ear to his mouth.

"For the rest, I just exaggerated the dominance of our Sen family and told him that once he is identified, his kid will never be able to run away again."

The warm breath brushed over Sanada Souichi's ears, causing a slight tingle, and the old man who realized that what he said and what he did was completely messing around quickly straightened up and gave him a sideways glance.He put away the used bamboo knife casually, wrapped his solid right arm around his lover's shoulder and leaned against himself, and walked out of the dojo, leaving the whole room for the young people to whisper.

With a half-smile expression, there was a hint of teasing in his eyes, but his fingers slid in along the green skirt of his lover at the same moment as he walked out of the dojo.

"A man from the Mori family can only go in and out? Qingyan, Zhongqing can also say that. But you... it seems that you have never been in, right?"

"Sanada Souichi you!?"

……

"Lian, why is your back wet? Could it be that Grandpa..."

"It's okay, don't think about it, Mr. Qingyan is a very kind person."

kind?

Master Lian, are you sure you are right? !

If you don't want to say it, you don't want to say it, and I won't force you.Anyway, it is your own test, and it has nothing to do with me at 01:30.

He let out a muffled snort out of breath, and with the help of Tsuruga Lian, controlled his stiff and sore body, walked out of the dojo and sat down under the corridor.At this time, even if the two young people who had just experienced some tests said nothing and simply leaned against each other, the feeling of warmth and happiness in the night breeze was quietly spreading.

One year.

Judging from the fact that Yumori Shuichi left home, and from the events that Tsuruga Ren and Yumori Shuichi met, dated, and happened, this short period of time is really quite busy.

Enter the LME, notice each other.From hiding from one to another, when you can't see it for a while, you will feel awkward and panic.

Since Hideichi Mori's rebirth, his goal was nothing more than to become a superstar and a king of heaven. Although it was a bit unexpected to have a love by the way, this surprise made him feel more satisfied than simply becoming a superstar of heaven.

I thought that in this life, I would travel abroad for a few years and then return home to inherit the family business.I thought that in this life, I would find a lover and a partner in a family with a similar family background.But now, when I really love, when the person I love really responds to my love, the feeling in my body is so warm and fulfilling.

He doesn't know if there will be another life, but at least this life!At least for now, he has Xiuyi from the Mori family, a soul who has lived two lifetimes, has happiness and a lover.

"lotus."

"Ok?"

"I have Shuichi Mori, the only lover in this life is you."

"Ah. Me too, Xiuyi."

He was stunned for a moment when he heard the confession of the boy in his arms, and the reassuring warmth flowed through Tsuruga Ren's whole body when he thought about it carefully.

From the initial hesitation to the present clarity, from the initial fear and hesitation to the present never letting go.Although he did miss a lot, at least now, at least now he can have him!To be able to own Xiuyi.

"Shiichi."

"Ok?"

"I don't think I've ever said that to you, have I?"

"what?"

The boy looked up suspiciously, and looked at the man who was hugging him from behind.

"I, Tsuruga Ren, will love you all my life."

……
