Lion King

It was God who broke the silence, his eyes moved back and forth between Mu Shenyi and me, and he murmured, "What a wonderful fate."

Li Yang and I mentioned God, they seem to have a good relationship with each other, I think he has probably heard about Li Yang's liking for Mu Shenyi, so I decided to pretend that I didn't hear this sentence.

fate?It's evil fate!

To be honest, I am very dissatisfied with the result of the lottery. I would rather be Amu's opponent than cooperate with him.But it seems that I am too short-tempered to have an attack now, so I have to accept this result for the time being.

So, the game started in this delicate atmosphere.

It was Amu and Yizhi, the tallest players of the two teams, who jumped the ball. Yizhi got the ball and passed it to Ah Shen. Ah Shen scored a three-pointer and scored the first three points.After that, Kiyota made great efforts to recover two points, and the "boom" made during the slam dunk attracted the screams of the girls.

The original four-on-four match turned into a solo show for both sides. Mariko and Yuriko simply stood on the sidelines, and only Sonoko followed us around.

Five minutes after the start of the game, the scores of the two sides were still stalemate, and then with the cooperation of Amu and I, we scored 5 points, widening the gap to the point where it was difficult to recover.

In the last minute, Kiyota intercepted a three-pointer from God, and the ball flew off the court, hitting Mariko in the head.Mariko didn't even have time to cry out in pain, so he covered his head and fell to the ground.

We hurriedly ended the game and ran to Mariko. Amu and I were relatively close and were the first to arrive. We saw Mariko curled up on the floor with his head in his arms, like a boiled shrimp.Yuriko knelt beside Mariko, and kept asking her if she was okay, but she gestured to Amu with her eyes, and Amu immediately looked at me with a embarrassed expression.

... Don't look at me, you are Mariko's boyfriend!

I immediately stared back, and when we were in a stalemate, other people also came over, Qingtian kept apologizing, but was pushed aside by God.

"Let's move Sato-senpai to the chair first?"

Ah Shen suggested, but no one dared to move.

I caught a glimpse of Touya, so I poked his waist and told him to help Mariko up.Tou hurriedly dodged and waved at me.

"I've already been dumped by her, no way!"

He explained to me in a low voice.

"Kenji, you are going!"

What am I going to do, I was dumped by her too!

So the two of us looked at Amu at the same time, noticing the scorching gazes of me and Tou, Amu grabbed Qingtian and stood in front of him, and instructed him:

"Nobunaga, go and help Sato to the chair."

Kiyota moved Mariko from the floor to the chair with a quick princess hug, and then God found an ice pack and applied it to her forehead, and we breathed a sigh of relief.

The game was over, so I went to buy drinks for everyone to share. We sat on the floor next to Mariko and drank the juice in silence.

After drinking the juice, I took the empty can to the trash can and threw it away. When I heard footsteps behind me, I looked back and saw that it was Mariko.

"Your head... all right?"

She held an ice pack to her forehead in one hand, and an empty drink can in the other like me.

"Well, it's okay, it's just a little swollen..."

When I thought that she was already A Mu's girlfriend, my heart ached, and it made me sadder than knowing that she and Tou were together.I didn't want to talk to Mariko, and I was about to leave after throwing the empty can into the trash can, but Mariko grabbed my arm.

"I haven't dated Mr. Mu..."

Her voice was so thin that I could hardly hear it. I thought I had an auditory hallucination, so I turned around and asked her, "What did you say?"

"I... haven't dated Mr. Mu."

I couldn't understand a single word of the sentence that came out of Mariko's mouth.

"You said... you have no relationship?"

Mariko nodded.

My eyes fell on her left hand holding my arm, and the ring finger was wearing a silver ring.

"Why would you wear a couple ring if you're not in a relationship? Isn't that weird?"

Mariko opened her eyes wide and looked at me blankly: "...couples, rings?"

I pulled her hand away, took a step back to distance myself from her, and told Mariko seriously:

"I don't understand what you're talking about, but this kind of thing... don't do this kind of thing that gathers people who like you together to play with them. I like you very much, but I haven't reached the point where I can even do it for you. To the point where I have given up my self-esteem, let's never meet again, Mariko, never meet again."

After I finished speaking, I turned around and left, my eye sockets began to heat up, and tears rolled in my eye sockets. I held on for a few seconds, but the tears still fell.I hurried into the safe passage, wiping my tears with the collar of my tracksuit.

Not long after, Mariko came after me, and I hurriedly closed the fire door, only to hear her knocking on the other side of the door.

"Please, Kenji, can you open the door? It's my fault, please listen to my explanation..."

Her voice gradually became crying. I wiped the tears from my face, sniffed my nose, and decided to open the door.

The door opened just a crack, and Mariko pressed his palm against the door, forcing his way in.

"Give me 1 minute, 1 minute is fine! After 1 minute, if you still hate me, I promise I won't appear in front of you in the future!"

Mariko's eye sockets and the tip of her nose were red, and she put down her hand holding the ice pack, clasping her palms together to beg me.

I can only nod.

"I have no relationship with Mu Jun, the couple ring... I asked him to wear the couple ring. The other day Yuriko told me that you would come. I know you always hate Mu Jun, so I thought it would be okay if I pretended to be a couple with him." will make you notice me..."

I just feel dizzy.

"Wait a minute, Mariko," I interrupted, "let me notice you? Haven't I been watching you all the time?"

Mariko flinched, tears streaming down her face.

"I... I don't know why, I don't want to be led away by you all the time..."

"It's you who always hold me by the arm?"

Mariko shook her head desperately.

"It's not like this, it's not like this..."

There was an unknown fire in my heart.

"If you want to accuse me, I have nothing to say, so let me and you stop here."

Mariko cried.

"Kenji, do you know what my favorite color is? You must not know? Where is my favorite flower? Where is my favorite star? You don't even know?"

"Of course I know—" the words were swallowed back when they reached my mouth, and I froze in place, suddenly realizing that I couldn't even answer those questions.

Favorite...white, right?Mariko always wears white clothes, flowers... flowers... what flowers does she like?Hyacinth?She showed me pictures of hyacinths at home in high school—

Mariko looked at me sadly.

"I, not only know that Kenji's favorite color is green, his favorite flower is lily, and the person he admires most is Fukuzawa Yukichi, but also that Kenji's mother cooks delicious curry, and Kenji's father is an expert golfer. Kenji's younger sister is called Li Yang, who always gives you headaches—"

Mariko covered her face, sobbing softly.

"I know this because I always look at you, happy for your happiness, sad for your sad, I know so much because I like you, but Kenji, you don't know me at all, and you never know me. without trying to get to know me..."

"How can this be called liking me? You haven't even seen the real me in your eyes!"

Mariko's accusation hit my heart like a whip, and for a moment I couldn't refute it—and couldn't refute it.

"Kenji, what you like is not me, but me who always thinks of you and always revolves around you. I don't want to be with such a Kenji... and I don't want to be liked by such a Kenji..."

Mariko said sobbing.

"What about... Tou? Do you like him?"

Mariko nodded and shook his head.

"Tou-kun is very gentle... completely different from Kenji, he is a very considerate person, but, but every time when I thought I fell in love with him, you appeared, every time I decided to seriously date Tou-kun , you always come to disturb my heart..."

"...Do you know?"

I opened my mouth with difficulty, not daring to imagine the depression in my heart these past few years.

Mariko didn't answer, just kept crying.

...Wow, really speechless...the girl I like thinks I'm not in love with her for who she really is, so I date my best friend, then dump my best friend, and now I'm entangled with my old nemesis.

I thought Mariko was far more mature and stable than Li Yang, a quiet lady, but what she did was much more terrifying than Li Yang.But even for Mariko like this, my heartbeat still gets messed up because of her.

Mariko's cheeks were flushed from crying, I hesitated for a long time, put my hand on her shoulder, and apologized softly to her.

"I'm sorry, it's my fault that I haven't noticed your intentions, please forgive me, Mariko..."

She shook her head violently, but her feet moved forward, and her forehead was pressed against my shoulder. I hugged Mariko's shoulder and patted her on the back.

"...I don't want to forgive you!" Mariko buried her face in my neck and whispered.Her tears cling to my skin, wet and itchy. "I don't want to forgive you! It's all because I like you... because I like you no matter what, I hurt Tou-kun... I don't want to hurt him... Tou will never forgive me...he will hate me!"

She trembled in my arms, and the sadness and regret passed through our skin to my heart.

Why is this happening?

I hugged Mariko tightly, trying to alleviate her guilt—it was my fault in the end, I was too self-righteous, I never saw her well, saw her through, understood their thoughts, and shared their worries... I haven't done anything a friend should do.

I'm such a lousy person.

Just as I was immersed in self-torture, the fire door was pushed open.Mariko and I looked at the door at the same time, only to see Toru poking his head in and looking at us, his mouth slightly opened in surprise.

The moment he saw Tou, Mariko pushed me away in horror. The two of us seemed to be caught in bed, and we were too nervous to look at him.

"Uh, since the two of you have been away for a long time and haven't come back, so Kazushi asked me to take a look... Are you okay?"

Looking through at me and then at Mariko, a shy expression appeared on his face.

"Didn't... bother you?"

He seemed to think I was with Mariko.

Mariko and I shook our heads in denial at the same time.Let out an "ah" and look at Mariko.

"Mari, I heard from Yuriko that you and Amu... how to put it, don't worry about me, I also understand in the past few years... Anyway, we broke up. If you always look at me with sympathy like this, I will It will be hard."

Turu paused, then turned to me: "Kenji too, don't compare me and Mariko on both sides of the scale, I don't want to draw conclusions from you that I am more important than Mariko or that Mariko is more important than me... You have always needed us Two, no?"

Mariko burst into tears again, she cried and walked to Tou, apologizing to him in a low voice.

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry... Thank you for your tolerance in the past three years... I'm sorry..."

Tou smiled bitterly and touched Mariko's head, put his hands on her shoulders, and said to Mariko as if coaxing a child:

"Although I really want to hug you and comfort you now, we are no longer in a relationship that can do this kind of thing... It is I who should say sorry, Mari, and I will not be by your side when you are sad in the future ,Oh, sorry."

Mariko shook her head while wiping her tears.

Tohru took one last look at me and smiled at me—the smile he’d had since high school when he refused me when I tried to reach out to him.

"Everyone is waiting for you outside, come out after hugging for a while, we can't wait too long."

He walked out of the safe passage and closed the fire door again.

In the dark safe passage, we were only illuminated by the green light from the escape sign on the door beam. In the darkness, I saw Mariko's thin shoulders shaking up and down.

I walked up behind her and held her gently in my arms.

"I'm sorry, Mariko, in the future... tell me more about you in the future, and I will keep it in my heart."

"……I do not want."

She sniffed and answered, but didn't break free from me.

"Then... if you don't say it, I won't be able to like you in the way you like."

"There's no need to do this now, it's enough... I don't need you to like me."

I sighed.

"But you still like me, Mariko."

Mariko let out a slender whimper, she pushed my arm away, turned and stepped on my shoe, then buried her head in my chest, her fingers grabbed my back hard.

"I hate you, Kenji, I hate you the most!"

While stroking Mariko's soft hair, I let out a long sigh of relief.

"Now can you tell me what's going on between you and Amu?"

I pretended nothing happened with Mariko and went back to the stadium. Isshi proposed to go to the izakaya. Kiyota and Ashin were underage and couldn’t go. I made an appointment to talk to Li Yang in the evening today, and Toru had another date. So there were only two girls and Kazushi and Amu go together.

Mariko still looked upset, and Yuriko who was traveling with her was not very interested in drinking, but she agreed at Mariko's insistence.She probably wants to chat with her friends about what happened today.

In front of the gymnasium, our group bid farewell to each other. Before we left, Amu stopped me with a hesitant expression.

"what happened?"

He scratched his cheek, looking like he didn't know how to speak.I immediately remembered the scene where Mariko was too intimate with him before, and the fire of jealousy burned.Maybe it was because he noticed that my complexion was not good, so Amu immediately waved his hands to explain:

"It's not what you think, Fujima, it's really not... your girlfriend and I, eh, that... I have nothing to do with Sato, it just happens to be—"

"...Mariko and I haven't dated, at least not before, why are you so flustered?"

A Mu immediately kept silent, and finally he smiled wryly and waved his hands. Mariko happened to be standing next to him, so he shook his head at Mariko: "Look, it's the same as what I said, right?"

Mariko immediately lowered her head to apologize to him, and promised something, "I will definitely do what I promised you before, please rest assured."

what the hell? !

I was about to have a seizure when Mariko pulled me aside and promised me that I would call at night to explain the matter, so I let her go.

At nine o'clock in the evening, shortly after I finished talking with Li Yang, Mariko called.

"What the hell is going on with you two?"

Mariko muttered, and it took a while before she spoke.

"It's like this...that, Mu-kun—he seems to like Kenji—"

"what?"

"--my sister, after we met in the bookstore, I knew you and I were friends, so I kept asking about your sister... It seems that they used to be classmates, and Li Yang lost contact after she transferred to another school. Said, also said that after finishing college, she would go to the United States to continue her studies, and wanted me to ask you which school Li Yang studied in..."

Saying this, Mariko started apologizing again.

"I heard you say it before, so I told him, but I don't know Li Yang's contact address and phone number. This time, I promised him to ask for him... I'm sorry for doing this kind of thing without authorization!"

I held the microphone and took several deep breaths to calm down.

"You mean, he is going to America just to meet my sister?"

I deliberately emphasized "sister", as sensitive as Mariko, and soon noticed my anger.

"I think...it should be..." She paused, her voice became cautious.

"How should I reply to him?"

I took a deep breath, grabbed the letter from Li Yang on the locker, poured out the photos inside, and said to Mariko:

"If he asks you about Li Yang again, tell him not to dream. My sister already has a new boyfriend and is living a happy life in the United States. Let him stay in Japan quietly and find someone If a woman like him gets married and has children, stop thinking about harassing my sister!"

Mariko didn't make a sound for a while, and for a while, I could only hear my panting on the microphone.

"...I see, I will convey..."

Mariko changed the subject and asked me: "What if he doesn't believe what I said? Li Yang doesn't have a boyfriend, right? If Li Yang also likes Mu Jun—I remember you told me that Li Yang liked a boy in the same class, Maybe it's Mu—"

"Enough! Even if I liked it before, I've forgotten it after such a long time! I won't accept such a man as my brother-in-law, don't even think about it! Impossible!"

Mariko sighed.

"Then, if Lord Mu asks me who Li Yang's boyfriend is, how should I answer? There is no such person, right?"

I let out a sneer.

"What are you talking about, Mariko." I lined up the photos and turned them over. On the back of the photos was written the name of the person who took the photo with Li Yang.

"Li Yang is my younger sister, I'm afraid she's too popular with men—those annoying stinky men!"

"Hey, that's too much to say..."

"Okay, if he asks, just tell him—" I stacked up the photos one by one, and read the names on them to Mariko.

"Monday is Kaede Rukawa, Tuesday is Akira Sendo, Wednesday is Louis Bolton, Thursday is Chris Lee, Friday is Eiji Sawaki, Saturday is...uh, Ivanov Golitsyn, Sunday is not available .This is my sister's boyfriends, let him stay where he is cool!"

"There are Russians? Are Russians very fierce..."

Mariko muttered and wrote down the names one by one.

"However, Kenji, I think... the person Li Yang likes should be Lord Mu. It's not good for you to do this...?"

She still did not forget to advise me.

"And I don't think Mr. Mu is the kind of person who will give up easily... If the two of them are together, your position will be very awkward."

I couldn't help but "hum".

"Don't worry, I'll throw him out of my window by then. I wouldn't want to have a family portrait with him anyway, that would be stupid."

I looked at the photos sent by Li Yang, no matter how I looked at them, Ruchuanfeng, Xian Daozhang, or the Russian with a tricky name, they were all more harmonious than Mu Shenyi standing beside her.

"hope so……"

Mariko still refused to stand by my side.

A year later, Mariko and I spent a leisurely weekend at home, and Mariko told me that Amu had given up studying abroad and had passed the senior civil service examination to become a member of the Metropolitan Police Department's Search Section [-].

"Look, he gave up."

I was quite proud of myself for seeing people accurately, but before I could finish speaking, the phone rang.I had no choice but to suspend my cynicism towards A Mu and pick up the microphone.

"Hellokenji ~ Guess where I am?"

Li Yang's cheerful greeting came from the receiver, and I subconsciously looked at the wall clock. It was three o'clock in the afternoon, and she should be sleeping.

Just when I was in a daze, a few syllables that brought tears to my eyes suddenly came from the receiver.

"ただいま, お兄ちゃん (I'm back, brother)."

"...おかえり, Liyang (welcome back)."

chapter50Romance

Beep beep - beep beep -

Struggling to get up and turn off the alarm clock, looking up, the LCD screen was flashing green, showing that it was already six o'clock in the morning.

Turning his head and looking out of the window, the early summer morning light shines through the white gauze curtains, and between the gaps between the two curtains, one can see a flame-like deep orange band of light melting under the navy blue sky.

I sighed and got up from the bed.Although I don't want to get out of bed, the habit of not being able to fall back asleep once I wake up drives me to the bathroom.Shampoo bottle was almost empty, had to go buy a refill today... I barely washed my hair with the last bit of shampoo, put on my shorts, brushed my hair and went to the living room to press the answering machine button.

"You have a message—"

"Ah, I'm Sakata who doesn't get fat no matter what I eat, what time is--er, what time is it?"

On the answering machine came the voice of a co-worker, the guy who always called me when he was drunk.

"Uh, it's... three, three o'clock... ah, it's three o'clock, the last electricity is off... Hey! You bastard! Why did you run away so early! Do you hate me so much?"

Yesterday's celebration banquet didn't end until ten o'clock, so I didn't go to renew the booth and went home directly. Sakata was always in high spirits, and the senior said that he would take him to the hotel in Ginza.I'm afraid I was hugging some hotel hostess when I left the message.

"I said you! I live alone, I don't have a lover, why, just...uh, my stomach hurts... ah, it hurts... Where is the toilet, where is it?...Miss Yuko, I'm sorry about that, I want to throw up , courtesy bag... where is it? Oh, it hurts—"

Then the message is over.

Although what Sakata wanted to say was interrupted by a stomachache, I also roughly knew what he wanted to say-I live alone, I have no lover, and there is only work in my life. Sexuality... something.

I put a towel on my head and wiped my hair, then turned around and looked around the 2DLK room—an empty living room with only a TV and coffee table, a bedroom with only a bed and a simple wardrobe, almost never clean used kitchen.

It's so simple that you can't see the owner's preferences and preferences.

My room in my hometown was much messier than here. When my mother came here for the first time, she was taken aback, thinking that I had always lived in the police station—when a vicious incident occurred, I lived in the search headquarters most of the time.

The focus of my life is my work.

It's a bit pitiful to think so, but it is reality.

Fry the few slices of toast left in the refrigerator, cover with eggs and ham slices, and pour a glass of milk for breakfast.I sit cross-legged at the coffee table in the living room, turn on the TV and watch the morning news while munching on toast.Today, the heat is a bit too hot, and the corners are blurred.

Tear off the blurred part and throw it on the plate. The news that a family of five in a high-end apartment in Akasaka was solved a week ago came from the TV. Turning to another channel, a former police officer was analyzing the motive of the murderer as a guest. Turning the channel again, a group photo of the murderer with his friends when he was a student was reflected on the screen, with a silly smile on his childish face.

He also had such a smiling face when he was arrested, with saliva dripping from the corner of his mouth to his neck.It's just that he was lying on his back on the floor at that time, facing the black muzzle of the gun, he didn't panic at all, his black pupils stared at me quietly, his pale lips moved, and the corners of his mouth raised, but in my eyes It seemed to be against the floor—he smiled at me.

"Oh, what a young police officer."

An older voice came from his throat.It took less than a second before I realized he was talking about me.

My looks befit my age at last--that's what's on my mind when I'm apprehending a vicious suspect.

It was exhausting to be immersed in work for the past week, and I switched to another channel, and the subtitles at the bottom of the screen finally had nothing to do with the case, and replaced it with "Returning from the war! The incredible young legendary photographer!"

Ah, why do I always have to be forced to see these things?

Are all variety shows this deep?

I stared at Xiandao surrounded by female guests on the screen. He still looked lazy, combing his hair soaring, and answered a question from a recently popular female model with a smile:

"Mr. Xiandao, in such a harsh environment on the battlefield, how do you keep your hairstyle?"

By hairspray?I answered in my heart, to maintain that hairstyle, there must be at least one box in the luggage for hair gel.

But Xiandao didn't give such an uninspired answer. He raised a finger, half-closed his eyes, approached the female guest pretending to be mysterious, and whispered to her: "Depend on my willpower."

The guests suddenly burst into laughter.

Will Li Yang laugh when she sees it?Probably not, because she is preparing for the live broadcast now - the alarm clock shows that it is [-]:[-] at the moment.

There is a short talk show "Rolling Star" at [-]:[-], the guests are rookies from the sports world, Li Yang is a regular team member, and she is currently working on the script - Sato Mariko, whom she met in college, works in a TV station, and she often tells I have some knowledge about the production of TV shows, and the shows that Li Yang starred in.

The last guest was the rising national player Hanamichi Sakuragi. In just half an hour of the program, he was urged by Li Yang to confess to his sweetheart and was rejected. Thirteen hours later, Sakuragi's tearful photo was taken Zoom in on the headlines of the entertainment sections of the evening newspapers of major newspapers.

Who is today's guest?I closed my eyes and recalled, but couldn't remember anything.

The program is broadcast weekly. A week ago at this time, I just came back from the scene of the crime. I bought a honeydew melon bread for breakfast at a convenience store, and then went to investigate with the director.Fortunately, before going out, I set the timer video in advance, and secretly watched it when I went home to change clothes in the middle of the search.

Ah, could it be Ai Fukuhara?My colleague Sakata is a table tennis fan. Last year, he kept talking about Xiaoai Xiaoai. If I remember correctly, he is the youngest member of the national team, right?

During this period of distraction, the immortal part is over, and behind him is the currently popular idol Lilith, a petite girl with a voice like a child.

Seeing that it was still early, I switched to the original TV station. The case analysis was over. The camera turned to the gate of the National Assembly Hall. A middle-aged man walked towards the black car surrounded by many people. There were many recordings stretched out in front of him. Pen, reporters are chasing this piece of fat like piranhas.In the flashing shot, I saw Fujima's figure.He stood between the congressman and the reporter forcefully, opened the car door, pressed the congressman's shoulder and stuffed him in.

The last time I met him at work was six months ago. The middle-aged councilor was accused of manipulating votes in local elections on TV. At that time, I was seconded to the second search section, responsible for the investigation of the staff around the councilor. , and Fujima is a cadre of the member election office.

It was an extremely unpleasant experience, and the mere memory gives chills down the spine.

They are obviously brothers and sisters, why do people feel so far apart?

After breakfast, I cleared the tableware, and then stuffed the dirty clothes that had accumulated for a week into the washing machine. When the washing machine was working, I cleaned the house roughly with a vacuum cleaner, and then put the bedding on the balcony to dry.

At 28:[-], I returned to the TV on time.

Accompanied by the opening song of the show, three hosts with a fixed team came out from the left side of the screen and sat on the three-seater red sofa in the center. Li Yang was on the far left. A comedian and a newcomer to the firm known as "Dream Factory".

Among the three, only Li Yang is a girl.After the three sat down, they greeted the audience. I habitually nodded to Li Yang and said good morning.Next to the red sofa, there is a luxurious single sofa like a throne, which is the guest's chair.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, we finally got to the point.

"Who will be our guest today?"

Comedian Cangtian opened his hands and asked the audience with an exaggerated facial expression. Both Li Yang and idol Ishihara said they didn't know, and I shook my head too.

Cang Tian chuckled: "Speaking of today's guests, they are very destined to be with the three of us—" He looked at Li Yang and said, "Li Yang Jun, I think it's better for us to change seats."

Li Yang got up with a dazed expression and changed seats with Cang Tian, ​​taking the seat closest to the guests.

Then the screen went dark for a moment, and a video began to play. In the small circle on the upper right corner of the screen, Li Yang lowered her head and stared at the camera in confusion.

She used to always look at me in this way, even through the screen, I still felt a heat on my face.

The image on the screen shook for a moment, and it was aimed at Li Yang, who was holding a microphone and tied a ponytail.She was wearing a white T-shirt with NYU printed on it, staring at the camera with a serious face.

"Hello everyone, I'm Fujiwara. This is the scene of the 1999 NCCA basketball finals. The two sides are Duke University and the University of Connecticut. The current score is 40 to 52. Duke University leads—"

"Good morning, senior."

"—First, ehhh?"

A man in a ball uniform passed in front of Li Yang like no one else, and nodded to her while greeting her.

"This one is abolished, do you want to start over?"

The person holding the camera said, Li Yang nodded unhappy.

Then Li Yang stood in the center of the camera again, only saying "NCCA" this time, and the person in the ball uniform passed in front of the camera again, this time drinking water while walking.

"Come again?"

Li Yang sighed heavily, and raised the microphone again.

This time, the opening remark was finished, but the man in the ball uniform appeared on the left side of the camera. This time he realized that he could not walk in front, so he walked back after walking a few steps, but his figure still appeared on the camera. inside.

"It still doesn't work."

The camera hangs down, only to hear Li Yang's roar outside the camera:

"Kaede—"

The recording ends here.

The welcome music played, the three hosts stood up from the sofa, the camera turned to the right, Rukawa Kaede walked in.

"Good morning, senior."

Wearing a navy blue tracksuit, he bowed his head to Li Yang.

"Good morning, Rukawa-kun." Li Yang said to him with a smile.

Ah, it's the Rukawa Kaede who put up a finger at Xiandao and said "I'm one point ahead of you", and the Rukawa Kaede who dated Li Yang twice a week.

Fortunately, it wasn't Rukawa Feng who was dating Li Yang.

Li Yang cleverly pulled the topic away from Rukawa Kaede's love life, and brought the flames of war to the previous guest Sakuragi.

"What's your first impression of Sakuragi-kun?"

"idiot."

Cang Tian laughed out loud.

"It looks like Sakuragi-kun should make a fuss and come to our show again!"

"Staff, can you consider making a special about the two of them!"

Li Yang even found out that Sakuragi's sweetheart once liked Rukawa Kaede, and within a few minutes, Cangtian yelled that the director received a complaint call, and the other party was furious and wanted to talk to the guest.

"You skinny fox!! You actually said that this genius is an idiot! You are the idiot! Idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot, big idiot!"

Sakuragi's loud voice resounded through the studio, and Rukawa Kaede replied coldly, "Big idiot."

"Smelly Fox!!"

"Big idiot."

"Smelly fox, stinky fox!"

"Big idiot big idiot."

This cycle went on and on, and Cangtian laughed so hard that he fell from the sofa to the floor.

Until the end of the show, when introducing the guests of the next episode, Cang Tian couldn't help smiling, and the corners of his mouth kept twitching.

"See you next week~"

At the end of the show, Li Yang waved goodbye, and I unconsciously raised my hand and waved.

This year is the ninth year we have known each other. I am 24 years old and Li Yang is 23 years old. It has been seven years since I last met her.

From 17 to 24 years old sounds like a long time, but to me it seems like it just happened yesterday.

On the rest day, there was nothing to do except cleaning in the morning, and I planned to go surfing in the afternoon. When I was scrubbing the surfboard, Sakata called. His voice sounded like he was still drunk, and he asked me to drink in the evening.

"I, I met a super positive girl yesterday!"

He proudly showed off to me on the phone.

"Yuko?"

"Eh? How do you know?"

Sakata yelled in panic, and asked me: "Is it possible, is it possible that you also know Yuko? Ah, no, you are Yuko's favorite, I will be dumped—"

"...It was when you left a message yesterday. Yuko is a waitress at the hotel?"

"Hey, did you hear me? Hahaha, I'm so sorry...
