beautiful him

Entering the summer vacation, Koyama suddenly invites Hirara to watch a stage play.It seems to be the repertoire of the troupe that Xiao Shan's brother helped. Because they are all informal works mainly for graduate students, it is difficult to recruit audiences, so Xiao Shan was pulled together to attract audiences.

"My brother begged me to go. I'm sorry, but I dragged you to accompany me."

"It's okay. I'm looking forward to it too"

If no one invited him, Hirao probably wouldn't go to any stage play.Moreover, compared with the stage play, the arrangement after the stage play is more concerned by Pingliang.The stage play probably ended in the evening, after which they made an appointment to have dinner at Xiao Shan's house.The arrangement is the same as usual, but today is a special day.

"Can I have dinner at your house today?"

On the way to go, Hirao asked Koyama again.

"It's rare for you to celebrate your birthday. I've already gone out anyway. Let me treat you to dinner."

"No, it's more relaxing to eat at home"

Xiao Shan leaned against the tram door and returned with a smile.Pingliang had no choice but to give up.

Today is Xiaoshan's birthday.He didn't know it when he invited himself to the stage play, but he didn't know it was Xiao Shan's birthday until he heard the members of the club chatting. "Why didn't you tell me?" After Hirao asked, Koyama smiled shyly and said, "I don't know why, I just don't want to say it."At that time, Hirao felt that he had to make up his mind.

Pingliang and Xiaoshan still continue to be good friends, but Pingliang knows that Xiaoshan's feelings for him are not friendship.Xiao Shan never imposes his feelings on him, but always gets along with him with a good impression of him.

If it was someone he really didn't like, Ping Liang could simply reject him, but things were not that simple.Pingliang and Xiaoshan hit it off very well.And in the face of Koyama's sincere heart, Pingliang also began to have the idea that he must seriously respond to him.

As if being pushed from behind, Hirara went to buy a birthday present for Koyama a few days ago.This was the first time he bought a birthday present for someone else, and after much hesitation, he chose a camera strap.A well-made leather camera strap will show its advantages as it is used for a long time. Hirao even wants to buy one for himself.

Ping Liang intends to give a gift to Xiao Shan after dinner, and then confess his love to Xiao Shan.It seems to be put on the same process as the factory assembly line.There is no need to do anything, and it will naturally become ready for shipment.What kind of expression would I use to confess my love to Koyama?It may be a very funny look, or it may be said in a very ordinary way.But it was incredible that no matter what the situation was, Hirao felt as if it had nothing to do with him.

—Is that what love is all about?

The feelings for Qingju are so easily and irresistibly overturning everything about him, but the feelings for Xiaoshan are completely different.

Maybe I was wrong.

Just use Koyama to escape the attachment to Qingju.

At a time like this, what do other people do?Is it to spend your life with that person who will never be touched in your heart?Will you be shaken by the thoughts of those around you?Or is he too weak.If there is a correct answer, I hope someone can tell me.

Although it is a stage play, the stage is an ordinary cafe.Just like any cafe you can see, it's just packed with chairs.

"The whole store is a stage. This time, the audience will watch a stage play on the stage."

Xiao Shan looked at the flyer and explained.

"There are also interactive seats. If you take that kind of seat, actors will come and interact with you"

"Never"

If so, you might as well go back.Xiao Shan smiled and said, "I think so too," and then dragged Hirara to another seat.When the waiter came to order, I ordered coffee although I thought it was weird.

"Very different stage play"

"Hmm. It looks good. I like this kind of drama very much"

While they were drinking coffee and chatting, suddenly there was the sound of staff arguing from behind the bar, Hirara and the others were startled.It was the waiter who brought the coffee just now and the manager who was arguing.

"What happened?"

Xiao Shan asked in a low voice.The audience in the store watched with bated breath as the situation unfolded.

"...Hey, those people are actors, right?"

After hearing this, everyone finally recovered.It turns out that the stage play has already begun.The show started without an announcement.It's like being in a coffee shop and suddenly hearing the sound of arguing at the next table, and can't help but prick up your ears to listen to the sense of presence.

Just when the audience was completely immersed in the play, a customer strode into the store as the bell rang at the door, sat at the bar and ordered coffee.The waiter and store manager who were arguing quickly shut up.Of course, this guest is also an actor——.

"Hirara, that person"

Koyama spoke to Hirara.

"That guy, I saw it in an advertisement"

"Hey, are you a famous entertainer?"

The audience who noticed this also whispered.

But Pingliang didn't notice this at all, he was just fascinated by it.

Heart pounding.The hands clenched on the knees were also trembling slightly.Ah, what to do.It's like a storm is coming in my heart.

——Clean house.

Qingju is right in front of Pingliang.Qingju is talking.Qingju is drinking coffee.New characters appeared one after another, but Hirao focused all his attention on Kiyoi, completely unaware of what the story was about.

The actors got up from their chairs by the bar and began to perform while walking around the store.Improvised performances and audience interaction in interactive seats.Just when the plot was reaching its climax, Qingju walked towards him.

Walking past Hirara while saying the lines, for a moment, Hirara felt as if he had made eye contact with Kiyoi.

It was such a moment, as if everything was blown away.He made friends and seniors who tolerated his stutter.He has someone who likes him.It is nothing to ordinary people, but it is very valuable to oneself.All these things were overturned easily, and Hirao could only watch blindly.

Qingju was like a storm, taking away all the fruits he had so hard to bear.

very sad.But I was so happy that I didn't know what to do.

"—Piragara"

Someone shook his shoulders, and Hirara came back to his senses.

"You seemed to be absent-minded in the middle, are you okay? Your face is very red. Didn't you have a fever?"

"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm fine. I'm just fascinated"

The consciousness that was taken away by Qingju gradually came back.

The play was over, Hirara looked into the store.The actors who usually return to the lounge after the show are still in the store, some are talking to the audience, and some are chatting with people they know.

Pingliang suddenly lowered his head.Because the incident happened so suddenly that he didn't know what happened. Now that he came back to his senses, he remembered: he can't be here.

——Then, goodbye.

Qingju's back is saying: Don't catch up again.What if he misunderstood that he came to watch the drama after a special investigation.Hurry up and go back when Qingju doesn't notice you.Hurry up.Just when Pingliang stood up.

"He Xi"

Two men came to look for Xiaoshan.

"Ah, brother. Sato-san, you have worked hard. The stage is very special and interesting."

"That's good. The show is what the grad students thought of and I'll pass it on to them"

At this time, Koyama's brother turned to Hirara and greeted him.

"Let me introduce. This is my friend, Hirashi. I am the same age as me and in the same club. Hirao, this is my brother and my brother's friend Sato-san. Sato-san is a freelance writer engaged in dramas, He also has articles in the troupe's free magazine"

"It's the first time we met. I'm Kazuki's older brother. My younger brother has always been under your care."

"Ah, that's not the case. Please take care of me when we meet for the first time."

Hirara bowed his head nervously.Sato also took out his business card and handed it to Hirao.This was the first time Hirao received a business card, and he looked at the business card in his hand curiously. At this moment, Sato asked Koyama: "Is he the one in the legend?"

——Legendary?

Hirao had a strange expression on his face, and Koyama quickly stopped him: "Don't talk about that now."Sato looked at Hirara with a meaningful smile.He seems to know the delicate relationship between himself and Xiao Shan.Pingliang couldn't help feeling a little restless.

"Ah, by the way, Kiyoko appeared. I didn't see his name in the list of performances. I was surprised when I saw him come out."

To change the subject, Koyama suddenly mentioned that name.

"That's right. The organizer knows Kiyoi, and this time he's going to be a special guest. If it's made public in advance, there must be a lot of young girls coming, so it's a secret guest."

"I see. He also acted in commercials, so I feel like he's popular now. Hirao is a fan of Kiyoi."

The topic suddenly turned to himself, and Hirao didn't react for a while.

"Hey, is that so? Then let me introduce you. Hello——Qingju"

Sato had already yelled loudly before Hirara Miku could stop it, and Kiyoi, who was talking to others in the store, looked this way.Seeing Sato beckoning, Kiyoi came over.Hirara fell into confusion and could only keep his head down.

"Qiju, thank you for your hard work. Thank you at the last reception."

Sato greeted Kiyoi familiarly.

"I'm very happy too. Be sure to call me again next time. How was the performance today?"

“Very gorgeous and great”

"Do you have any comments on my acting skills?"

"Well, take this slowly"

Qingju frowned, and everyone laughed.

Ping Liang kept his head down, desperately trying to make himself disappear.Please, please, just let it go.

"Qingju, this boy is your fan, Qingju."

Following Sato's introduction, Hirara's heart tightened suddenly.

"Male fans of the same age are very precious. Hurry up and settle down, let's eat and eat."

Sato urged Kiyoi, and Hirao shouted in his heart: Stop.

"Oh, long time no see"

Qing Ju opened his mouth and said, everyone was stunned for a moment.Taira raised his head tremblingly, and his eyes met with Kiyoi's.Exactly the same as in the memory, the perfectly shaped eyes pierced Hirato's heart in an instant.

"Does Qingju know him?"

"We were classmates in high school"

Qingju replied flatly, "Huh?" Brother Xiaoshan and Mr. Sato tilted their heads in disbelief.

"Wait, Kiyomi, what's going on. Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"Sorry, just trying to play a prank"

Qingju and Brother Xiaoshan were whispering something.Not knowing what they meant, Kiyoi suddenly turned to Hirara while he was standing there in a daze.

"is it going well?"

Hirao was taken aback.Qingju spoke to him.Just a short sentence.It was enough to make Pingliang feel flustered, as if something nostalgic came rushing from a distance and crashed into Pingliang's arms.

"Very, very, very, very, very, very"

very good.Just this sentence stuck in Hirao's throat.The long-forgotten sense of shame that wanted to disappear filled Hirao, and Kiyoi looked at Hirara coldly and uttered a word.

"nausea"

Everyone else was taken aback.Brother Xiaoshan said hesitantly.

"Qingju, he's a stutterer—"

"Ah, no, no, no, no, no, nothing"

Pingliang hurriedly interrupted Brother Xiaoshan's words.Kiyoi hasn't changed at all, Hirara looked at Kiyoi with joy, nostalgia, and yearning eyes that wanted to cry.

"I'm doing well. Qingju is amazing, working hard in the entertainment industry, it surprised me"

"That's right"

Kiyoju raised his chin slightly, looked at Hirara contemptuously with a cold smile on the corner of his mouth.Qingju's unique indifferent smile made Pingliang's stable college life in the past few months evaporate like a dream.He was supposed to be in this world, Hirao realized it again.

"There will be a celebration banquet after this, come?"

Faced with Kiyoi's unexpected invitation, Hirao returned immediately without hesitation for a second.

"I go"

"Really. Where did it come from?"

While Qingju was looking around, the staff came to call Qingju and brother Xiaoshan.

"Ask whoever you want"

Kiyoju looked troubled, turned around and left after speaking, brother Xiaoshan and Mr. Sato hurriedly said hello and left in a hurry.Kiyomi disappeared from sight, and Hirao couldn't recover immediately.

"So you are friends"

Hearing Koyama's words, Hirao turned to look at him.He completely forgot about the existence of the hill.

"Just tell me earlier that you don't know each other."

"I'm sorry, because I haven't had a chance to say it"

"There are many opportunities to talk about it"

"……sorry"

Xiao Shan didn't speak.The atmosphere was extremely awkward.

"What about tonight?"

"Celebration banquet?"

After Hirao asked, Koyama looked a little annoyed.

"Aren't you coming to my house?"

Hirao realized his stupidity again.

"Ah, sorry"

"If you want to apologize, apologize to Qingju."

Xiaoshan's implication is to let him refuse Qingju's invitation.Of course.Today is Xiao Shan's birthday, they made an appointment at the beginning, and there is still a gift for Xiao Shan in Pingliang's bag.There are still words of confession to Xiaoshan in my heart.But now, all of these have disappeared, only Qingju completely occupies Pingliang's heart.

"Say what you want to say as soon as possible, they also have to reserve a seat"

Koyama tactfully urged, and Hirashi hummed and walked in the direction of Qingju.Pingliang felt like a prisoner being escorted to the execution ground.

Although he passed by, Hirara really didn't dare to talk to Kiyoi who was in the crowd. Just when he was standing a little distance away and didn't know what to do, Kiyoi suddenly looked at him.

"What?"

Qingju's expression was obviously impatient.

"Well, about the celebration banquet—"

"Mr. Sato knows the location, you can ask him."

"No. Well, I have something to do today"

Qingju tilted his head.

"So, I can't go to the celebration banquet..."

In an instant, Qingju's eyes became sharper.

- Lie to you, I will go, even if I climb, I will crawl there.

Hirao wanted to immediately kneel down at Kiyoi's feet.However, the hill not far away is looking at this side.Hirao froze in place, sweating coldly, and Kiyoi's expression suddenly eased.

"I don't care if you come or not"

Qing Ju returned to the crowd with an extremely impatient look on his face.

Hirara stood there like a fool.

Ah, yes, Hirara's anxiety dissipated all of a sudden.

Whether he is there or not is completely meaningless to Qingju.He even came to specifically tell Qingju that Hirashi once again felt that he was really stupid.It's been a long time since Pingliang felt that he was so stupid, but Kiyomi always made him aware of his stupidity easily.

That night, Hirao was absent-minded, and it was rare for Koyama to celebrate his birthday, but he couldn't cheer up at all.The gift was given to Xiao Shan to confess but he didn't say it.How could he speak it.
