Disguise is a technical job.
Baiyun Mountain obviously does not have this technology.
So he felt at ease and had no pretense.
Baiyunshan stood at the entrance of the park, looking at a huge lantern statue inside, and was amazed.
It is a tree-like statue. It is said that the highlight of the night is to light it up. At that time, the colorful lanterns will bloom on it, and it is so powerful and eye-catching that it can attract everyone's attention. It is a real fireworks.
Baiyun Mountain didn't care about this. He couldn't help but secretly despise him. Huh, the spectacle is misleading the people. With so many fancy things put away, he doesn't know how much electricity will be consumed at night. Compare this to himself as a defender of the earth and an environmental pioneer. Just now, I couldn't even turn on the light. Look at the ugly faces of these wasteful resources!
With a critical gaze, Baiyunshan moved forward along the colored lights on both sides. Most of them are in pairs on the road, and it is very lively with people coming and going. There are already many snack vendors taking up good positions on both sides of the road. Obviously everyone knows that the four-year lantern festival has unlimited business opportunities. Of course, Baiyun Mountain will not comment on the specific taste.
With this thought in mind, he finished the last piece of dried sweet potato he bought, then threw the remaining paper bag into the trash can and turned around to buy something to drink.
But at this moment, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in his field of vision.
The man was wearing a mask, so his appearance could not be clearly seen, and he was carrying a guitar on his back. However, Baiyunshan relied on his keen observation skills to judge his clothing, body shape, and the length of his hairstyle, and he was still able to tell who it was.
——Of course, there may be another reason why that person is still not wearing a skirt.
With some unknown resentment, Baiyunshan walked briskly around behind her, and then gently patted her shoulder.
"ah--"
The girl was startled, and quickly distanced herself and turned around, only to see Baiyunshan looking at her with a playful expression.
Although she was wearing a mask, the panic and embarrassment in her eyes could not be concealed. Hashimoto Nana was silent for a long time, and then a smile appeared on her face under the mask: "What a coincidence, Baiyun-san, why are you here too?" ?”
Bai Yunshan looked at her with a smile, then stared at the guitar she was carrying for two seconds, and said, "Yes, what a coincidence, why are you here too?"
"I...I'm here to take a look. The lantern festival is beautiful, isn't it?" Hashimoto Nanami hurriedly found an excuse to excuse herself.
"Oh? Really? Then why are you carrying a guitar here? Also, is there actually a person attending the lantern festival?" Baiyunshan said with a sneer.
"Isn't Baiyun-san also a person?" Hashimoto Nana said suddenly.
"..."
The sudden knowing blow silenced Baiyunshan. He suddenly felt a sense of dullness, and the dried sweet potatoes he had just eaten seemed a bit sour.
He waved his hand: "Forget it, let's go, let's buy something to drink and talk later."
Seeing that he no longer cared, Hashimoto Nana secretly breathed a sigh of relief, nodded quickly and followed.
The two of them sat down in the pavilion in the park with a drink in their hands.
It's a bit far from the stage on the playground in the center of the park, so there aren't too many people. The performance seemed to have started on the stage, but it was not a live performance by himself as Mr. Ueno said. Instead, several groups of people came on stage one after another. There were all kinds of people, and the onlookers reacted very well. warm.
Hashimoto Nanami's eyes kept staring there.
Baiyunshan took a sip of the drink in his hand and frowned slightly. Even in winter, the drinks sold at the food stalls were still iced, which was really unacceptable to him.
But he didn't pay too much attention to these, and leisurely said: "Do you want to go up?"
"No."
"You said no, then why did you come all the way here with a guitar on your back?" Baiyunshan obviously didn't believe it.
"This is not mine, it belongs to Mr. Ueno. I received this guitar as soon as I returned home this afternoon. I called and asked about it. Mr. Ueno asked someone to send it here." Hashimoto Nanami explained.
"Why did he send you this?"
"have no idea."
"He didn't say?"
"No."
"You didn't ask?"
"asked."
"How did he say?"
"have no idea."
"..."
Only then did Hashimoto Nana realize that something was wrong, and quickly explained: "Mr. Ueno said that he didn't know either. He just thought it was a pity that he couldn't go on stage, so he sent this guitar over. He didn't know why. I think maybe it’s because I’m not willing to do this.”
Bai Yunshan shook his head: "There is nothing you can do if you don't want to. Don't forget, Hashimoto, I told you that it is impossible for you to go on stage alone as a member of Nogizaka46, and the agency will not allow it."
Nana Hashimoto stared at the stage, her eyes dimmed due to the lighting effect, but her expression was as usual, and she nodded quietly.
A meaningful smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Baiyunshan's mouth.
Then, he also turned his attention there and enjoyed the performance on the stage.
But right away, he discovered a problem.
"What's going on? Didn't they change the group of people before singing a song? Why is this kid still standing on top after so long?" Bai Yunshan said vaguely with a straw in his mouth.
Before Hashimoto Nana could answer, a strong voice came from behind the two of them.
"Because the ones in front are all amateurs, but this one is a professional singer."
The two looked back and saw an old man in his sixties walking over. Although he looked old, he was walking as fast as he could. He was the old man walking his dog that Baiyunshan had just seen this morning.
Baiyunshan looked strange: "Uncle, why are you here?"
The old man gave him a bright smile, then looked at Hashimoto Nanami aside, nodded and praised: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, not bad, young man, is this the girlfriend you were waiting for this morning?"
Baiyunshan thought to himself, he knew that this old man would definitely say this when he came over! Turning around to look, sure enough, Nana Hashimoto next to him was staring at him with a strange look, obviously questioning what Baiyunshan said behind her back, and why he said he was her girlfriend?
Baiyunshan felt like a light on his back, and quickly changed the subject with a cough: "That's not important, the important thing is...how do you know this?"
The old man laughed proudly, then pointed at himself and boasted: "Of course you know, I am also a staff member here. From the first lantern festival to the present, it has been more than ten years. But participate every time!”
"So awesome?" Baiyunshan raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that the dog walker he met in the morning could actually be a staff member here.
"Hehe." The old man chuckled twice but did not answer.
"What's going on with that guy on the stage?" Baiyunshan continued the previous question.
The old man explained: "Although he is a third-rate person, he is also a professional singer. In the past, our lantern festival was a festival held by the residents for their own entertainment, and the stage and other things were all performed by that boy from Ueno. And so on. But this year Ueno can’t come, so we changed it to anyone who wants to go up, and it doesn’t cost any money anyway.”
At this point, the old man sighed and complained: "But some people objected. They felt that after finally having a lantern festival, there must be some profit, so they invited a professional singer to perform, hoping to increase their reputation and attract sponsors. Something like that, I don’t know what the business considerations are.”
"But who would have thought that even though he was invited, he stayed on the stage and refused to leave. The others were just playing around, how could he compare to others? The stage became his own. It’s really——”
