This is already after the program recording has ended.
The new center of the sixth single is undoubtedly the most popular among the members, Mai Shiraishi.
Not to mention someone who had gotten the news early, it was many members who had vaguely guessed the result as early as Rina Ikoma appeared in the second row. Because no matter from the handshake, popularity, or appearance, the girl is undoubtedly the most qualified candidate to inherit this c position, and this selection is well-deserved.
But guess what, when it really happened, there was still a burst of surprise and whispers. Even a certain mayonnaise star herself didn't seem to react. After reading her name, the member behind her gave her a gentle push, and then she came to her senses as if she had just woken up from a dream, and followed the guidance to the studio.
After all, this is the first time that Nogizaka46, which has been debuting for more than a year, has changed the C position. Whether it is within the members or externally, it is bound to cause a lot of discussion.
Fortunately, the situation in Nogizaka seems to be very good now. Rina Ikoma was re-elected as the fifth single to lay the foundation for overcoming obstacles. Coupled with the grand occasion of the first anniversary live and the girl's own popularity, it seems that there is no need to worry too much at the moment. Whether it is the attitude of internal members or the predictable feelings of outside fans, there will be no big problems with this term of center——
However, these have nothing to do with Baiyun Mountain for the time being.
After the recording of the program ended, he was responsible for sending the second-term students away. Now the immature second-term students encountered such a situation for the first time while observing the recording. I have to say that they gained a lot of experience.
The tense atmosphere during the selection period also deeply affected these little girls (although one of them has already reached the first level of the adult ladder). The invisible pressure was already a bit unbearable just by watching. If it weren't for the fact that there was someone beside them who whispered something to them from time to time to distract them, some girls might have cried unconsciously on the spot.
This is the first time I have experienced the hardships of the job of an idol. In addition to busy practice and exploring one's own position, pressure is also something that an idol must face. Whether it is external pressure or internal pressure, if you cannot adjust your mentality in time, it will be a matter of time before a psychological condition occurs——
After finally sending everyone off, it was getting late and it was almost time to take a break from get off work.
But Baiyunshan was not in a hurry to go home. Instead, he returned to the original lounge, sat on a chair and looked up at the ceiling in boredom, as if waiting for something.
Sure enough, not long after, I saw a girl in uniform pushing the door open.
At a glance, he saw a lonely person sitting on a chair in Baiyun Mountain.
The girl was suddenly startled.
"Baiyun-san?"
"I saw that your things were still there, so I knew you had to leave before you arrived, so I would definitely come back."
Baiyunshan nodded lightly. The girl in front of him could not be anyone else. It was the new center that had just been released - a certain mayonnaise star Mai Shiraishi.
Listening to his words, a complicated look appeared on Mai Shiraishi's delicate face. The girl's eye circles were still a little red. It was obviously because she shed too many tears during the selection just now and has not fully recovered yet.
But in this way, not only did he not become haggard, but he became a bit more pitiful. Under the snow-white skin, the beauty marks on the corners of her lips looked softer, giving rise to another stunning temperament.
"Are you waiting for me?"
"I think after the selection, you will definitely have some questions you want to ask me."
Baiyunshan smiled and replied: "So I will wait here first."
Mai Shiraishi didn't speak when she heard this, she just sat down silently on the seat where her things were placed.
Someone knew her as well as ever, but what was different from the usual unwillingness to be seen through was that the girl who had gone through the torturous struggle during the selection and opened her heart to face herself honestly, when she heard these words, she felt... I felt a warm current flowing slowly through my heart, and I felt more at ease than ever before——
Yes, solid.
Or to put it bluntly, relax.
This kind of relaxation is like finally letting go of the anxious heart that has been hanging around. It is like waking up from a dream and looking at the alarm clock to find that it is far from the peace of mind when you wake up. But it wasn't because she learned that she had become the new center, but because she understood that everything was just a false alarm.
When the girl heard her name ringing at the last moment of this selection, she was not so ecstatic because she became the center, but more because she understood that someone would not announce her departure at this time, and she was completely overjoyed. He breathed a sigh of relief.
The heart that had been struggling and hanging finally let go. The regrets that had been entangled earlier finally saw hope at this moment. It was as if I had suddenly come from the abyss to the top of the mountain and saw the light. The ups and downs came so fast. The reason why I hid my face I cry because of this——
With a slight murmur at the corner of her mouth, Shiraishi Mai still spoke, looking at him and asking the question: "Baiyun-san, was the congratulations you said to me last time also because of this incident?"
"certainly."
Baiyunshan answered without hesitation. Hearing the girl's question, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Otherwise, what do you think it is? How does it feel like to be the center?"
"Feeling...okay-"
Mai Shiraishi shook her head slightly. This was really the truth. To be honest, when she heard that she had become the center, the girl felt as if she was in a dream. She has no real feeling until now. On the contrary, it’s because the guy in front of me brings about greater mood swings and he thinks more——
Fortunately, it was just a false alarm.
This means there is still time. She had been unable to make up her mind due to indecision before, but in the end she finally faced her heart honestly, which already made the girl regret it very much.
Now, since there is still a chance, we must not silently watch the opportunity pass by again.
The girl clenched her fingers silently, thinking in her mind.
"Shiraishi? Shiraishi?"
Baiyunshan didn't know what she was thinking. He looked at the girl who suddenly fell into deep thought. After calling twice in a row, he finally brought her back to her thoughts.
He couldn't help but laugh and said: "What you said is a bit Versailles. Being the center is just okay, but if others hear it, you will be depressed to death?"
The girl's face was slightly red, and she knew that what she said was indeed a bit unconvincing, but she did not mean to reveal her inner thoughts. Instead, she was a little confused about the words that the other party just flashed: "What does Versailles mean?"
"Well... you can probably understand it as showing off -"
Baiyunshan coughed lightly. It was a bit troublesome to explain this thing, so he changed the subject without leaving a trace and continued: "By the way, are there any other questions? Since you have become the center, there must be more than this, right?"
"There are indeed many things I want to ask -"
Shiraishi Mai also regained her composure. After hearing this, she took a deep breath, subconsciously bit her lips dotted with tiny beauty marks, and looked deeply at the other person with complicated eyes.
After learning from the painful experience just now, the girl finally made up her mind this time, no longer hesitating and escaping, but facing her own heart.
The most direct way, of course, is to ask.
"Baiyun-sang, what is your relationship with Nanamin...?"
