In an ordinary restaurant, two people who had just ordered food were sitting face to face. Before they started chatting, they received another contact from Riho Yoshioka.
Mizuna Hayato shook his phone at Arimura Kasumi and joked: "The news about the little fox, does she regret not coming?"
"Eh?" Arimura Kasumi was also a little surprised when he heard this, and he didn't want Riho Yoshioka to regret it.
But Yoshioka Riho said he really wasn't coming. He sent the message because of something else - a photo of him and Arimura Kasumi entering the restaurant together was taken, and it was already on the news.
"The cast of Yukidaba has been decided? Hayato Minakami had dinner with his artist Kasumi Arimura..." Hayato Minakami read out the news headline.
"Uh..." Arimura Kasumi didn't know what to say for a moment.
Yoshioka Riho's original intention was to send it to Minato Hayato, asking him to comfort Arimura Kasumi so that she would not go back and see the news and return to the previous "replayed" state of despair. Yoshioka Riho was deeply affected by it.
Who would have thought that Hayato Minakami not only read out the title, but also showed the photo taken: "Look, this photo is pretty good, right? Even though I'm wearing a hat and a mask."
It was a photo of them looking down at the restaurant sign at the door. They were obviously looking at the restaurant's signature dishes, but because their heads were so close, the photo was very ambiguous.
After all, Mizuna Hayato has a lot of experience. One look at this photo and he knows that the reporter who took the photo must be his "old friend", an "old friend" who specializes in taking photos of his trysts with various actresses.
His skill lies in finding various angles to take photos that look like a date.
Generally speaking, when artists are photographed at such angles, fans won't believe it, but it makes sense to put it on Mizuna Hayato. After taking too many photos, Mizuna Hayato didn't bother to refute, and instead started pointing at these photos.
Looking at the photo, Kasumi Arimura felt an inexplicable impulse in her heart and wanted to take out her phone and save it immediately.
Looking at Arimura Kasumi who seemed a little happy in front of him, Minato Hayato nodded secretly.
Compared to Yoshioka Riho's unexplained worries, Minakami Hayato thought he understood better why Arimura Kasumi frantically replayed the audition footage that day.
It's not because I can't afford to lose, or because I don't recognize myself clearly, it's just because I'm unwilling to get what I want.
Just like when he was managing time, some people didn't get what they wanted due to various factors such as time, location, etc. The solution is very simple, just find ways to compensate.
For example, prepare some small gifts, and change into firefighter, doctor, etc. uniforms.
Again, women also have uniform fantasies.
Of course, Kasumi Arimura's relationship with him is not that great, so he first promised the heroine of the movie, and then took her to dinner, just like comforting a child, buying things and giving her delicious food, so it shouldn't be a big problem .
While chatting and laughing, the champagne they ordered was already on the table. After the waiter poured it for them, Mizuna Hayato smiled and said, "By the way, it was your birthday last month. Have you tried drinking?"
"Well... I tried to drink a little bit on my birthday." Arimura Kasumi nodded.
"Beer?" Minato Hayato asked.
"Yes." She said with a bitter expression: "It's not as delicious as everyone said."
"Hahaha, let's try champagne today." Mizuna Hayato raised his glass: "Just think of it as a celebration."
"Celebrating what?"
"Celebrate that you can play the heroine of my movie next year~"
"ah!"
"I'm serious." Hayato Minakami said earnestly: "The eldest lady complains every day that I don't leave good roles to my own people in the company. In fact, it's just that I haven't found a good opportunity. Whether the role is suitable is one thing, and my acting skills are another. The problem is, the first few movies are too important to allow failure, and we’ll be done waiting until next year.”
"By the way, are you the best actor in our company now?" Mizuna Hayato asked abruptly.
"No, actually everyone is very powerful." Arimura Kasumi whispered.
"I told you when I recruited you to be more confident." Mizuna Hayato looked at her and said, "Anyway, I always believed that you were fine. Now it seems that my intuition is fine."
"Yeah." Faced with Hayato Shimizu's unabashed "preference" words, Arimura Kasumi was a little silent.
Mizunakura Hayato has always been very optimistic about her. Junya Muraka knows about this. Over the years, people around her have been saying things like, "Mizukami-kun has really good vision." Until these days, the eldest lady helped her practice and said, "I have to." Admit that guy’s vision is better than mine,” she finally confirmed.
Even though Minato Hayato hasn't paid much attention to her over the years, he always believed that she could succeed and become Stargaze's best, and even the most popular actress of this generation.
However, the more she understood this, the more she valued this opportunity to be the heroine of Mizuna Hayato. She wanted to stand in front of Mizuna Hayato in person and use her own progress to prove that he was right about her.
But in the end, we still lost.
Being overly optimistic can sometimes turn into pressure. If you succeed, it's okay, but if you fail, it might be overwhelming.
Mizuna Hayato also understood this, so he took the initiative to propose the plan of "Bottom Hot Girl" in advance.
"You have worked hard enough." Mizuna Hayato held up the cup: "Don't forget, you are only twenty years old, and it was only a few days ago that you were able to drink. Isn't it only a matter of time before you surpass those 'old women'?"
Hayato Minakami's words of "old woman" made Arimura Kasumi, who almost fell into melancholy again, unable to hold back. She couldn't laugh or cry. In the news about the "Yukiyoda Battle" between her and Maki Horikita, Hayato Minakami called Hori countless times. Kita Maki is a "goddess", why is she now an "old woman"?
"Come on, come on, it's been so hard during this period. Let's forget about those annoying things and come and have a good drink." Mizuna Hayato said, "Quick, my hands are sore from raising the glass."
"Cheers." Arimura Kasumi obediently raised his glass and clinked it with Minakami Hayato.
Alcohol can sometimes be very harmful to people. Even Lu Bu, who was so hurt by the alcohol and haggard, had no choice but to give up drinking, but sometimes it is a good thing that opens the door to the heart.
A little girl like Arimura Kasumi, who has just reached the age of drinking, basically shows her attitude after a few drinks.
From the champagne at the beginning, to the white wine, and then to the supplementary red wine, finally, when Hayato Minato saw Arimura Kasumi drinking, he understood that what she said at the beginning was that the wine was not as good as expected, and it was probably a woman. It's just an excuse for a kid to act cute in front of boys he's interested in.
The final result of this dinner was that Hayato Minato helped the dizzy Arimura Kasumi out of the door of the restaurant.
Letting Arimura Kasumi lean on him, Mizuna Hayato looked in one direction. Sure enough, there was a familiar face holding a camera, taking pictures of them unscrupulously.
Minato Hayato didn't stop him. After the taxi he called stopped, he put Arimura Kasumi into the car, waved to the reporter to say goodbye, and then got in the car.
