I am an ordinary college graduate who accidentally became a staff member at Nogizaka. Although others envy me for being able to interact with these cute little idols, as a low-level staff member who has been working for two or three years, I dare not The slightest bit of delusion. But one day, I accidentally discovered a little secret of one of the members, and this secret changed my life...
On January 18, 2017, the weather in Tokyo in January was not very friendly. Xiang Bunyan, who was standing behind the window, was blown by the cold wind and couldn't help but squint his eyes. However, he still stood by the railing and looked down from the high-rise to the street. The crowds on the platform are like ants emerging from an ant nest. If anyone with trypophobia takes one look, they will probably vomit.
"Hu~hu~"
The cold wind from outside kept blowing in, making the entire corridor feel chilly.
"Hey, Xiang Ben, close the window. Why do you think the company is not cold enough?"
Just as Xiang Benren was looking out the window in a daze, an unfriendly voice from behind pulled his soul back. He looked back and saw a short man standing there. His eyes were blurred due to his habit of reading for many years. Great, I couldn't see that person's face clearly from a distance, but with this tone, he probably only had that unpleasant group leader.
"Alas..." He sighed to himself, "Here comes Hikari."
He wiped the hair curtain, carried it to the top of his head, and closed the window smoothly. Then he took out a rubber band from his trouser pocket and tied his hair skillfully, and tied it into a small ponytail on the back of his head, with a layer of hair underneath. , but he didn't tie it up. This was also the most suitable hairstyle for boys with long hair that he had tried in a long time.
People call them sissies if they wear their hair down and in ponytails. Only they know the pain of long-haired boys.
Xiang Bunren is wearing a simple white sweatshirt and black loose sweatpants. He looks no different from a contemporary college student. If he can stand out, it may only be his appearance. In Japan, he can still He can be called a handsome guy.
My classmates once joked that if you can't find a job, you can go to Cowherd's to sit on the counter.
"I can't find you every time I look for you. You've been here for two years. Can you please stop running around?" the team leader scolded him angrily.
"Excuse me."
Xiang Benren followed him obediently, looking at the team leader in front of him who was a head shorter than him. He wondered if he had become taller again. How tall was he when he was measured last time? It seems to be just over 1.8 meters.
"Do you have the position list that I asked you to print before?" asked the team leader Matsushita.
"Well, I've given it to Konno-san."
"That's fine. Every time I announce my position, it's so ceremonial, but it's so busy."
Matsushita started his daily complaints again, probably because he is one of the few people who was transferred to work in Nogizaka not because of his love for idols.
Xiang Benren took out his mobile phone and looked at the time. It happened to be two o'clock sharp. He had recorded two episodes of "Nogizaka Under Construction!" in the morning! 》, just after taking a break for lunch, they were about to start filming again. However, due to the tight schedule, many members had foreign affairs in the afternoon, and the Banana Man's schedule also conflicted. This time, the selection of the 17 singles was held on another day. Recorded in a room.
Xiang Benren is currently mainly responsible for the publicity work of the little idol. In fact, it sounds nice, but he is just a member of a team in the publicity department and belongs to the lower end of the food chain. Then again, who would have thought that he, an architecture graduate, would join Sony.
Thinking about it, he has really done everything in the past two years, not to mention serving tea and water, and touching other sundries. He looks like a staff in Nogizaka, but if he really wants to say it, they are more Like a martial arts master, the professional goal is too big, but as a staff over the years, he has even learned the skill of editing videos. Although he is not proficient, he is good at everything.
STAFF is a brick, it can be moved wherever it is needed.
If it weren't for the little idol, who would work here? Not to mention the tedious work and low wages. However, he may not be doing this job for long. His favorite member also announced his graduation some time ago. Until the fifth anniversary, he will no longer participate in any activities, officially quit the entertainment industry, retire, and return to be an ordinary person.
This result is unacceptable to many fans of Hashimoto Nana, but this is exactly why they like Hashimoto Nana.
Listening to the complaints of Team Leader Matsushita along the way, Xiang Bunyan followed him into a room not far from the set. This room is usually used to store old items, but today for the first time, it has become a new place in Nogizaka. Single lineup place.
Walking into the room, many staff were already starting to place photography equipment such as cameras and lights. Needless to say, Xiang Benren naturally knew what he wanted to do. He consciously walked to the corner of the room and placed the rows of stools stacked in the corner in order. Nogizaka members would have to sit here when they arrived.
Throw the STAFF badge into your clothes, throw your arms away, and get started, otherwise your work ID will be hanging around, which will really get in the way.
"Buzz~"
While he was moving the chair, the phone in Xiang Benren's pocket vibrated. He put down the chair, stood up straight and reached for his pocket. His phone had basically been set up with notifications for LINE and some necessary software, such as spam text messages and news. He will not receive it even if it is broadcast.
[The party the day after tomorrow has been moved to 8:30 pm, but the location remains the same. It will rain the day after tomorrow, so remember to bring an umbrella. 】
It was a message from his former college classmates, followed by a class reunion of their group. It was said to be a reunion, but it might include more, because he wanted to see how his old classmates were doing.
【good. 】
To be honest, if several of his good friends hadn't gone, he really wouldn't have wanted to go to this party, because his ex-girlfriend would definitely be there.
"Xiang Ben, come here as soon as you're done moving. What are you doing there?"
"Sorry, here we come."
Xiang Bunyan put his phone back in his pocket and trotted behind the camera. After a while, the Nogizaka members lined up to enter the room one by one.
There is no excitement. After all, he has been working in Nogizaka for two or three years. The little idol watches it every day and has long lost the original freshness. In addition, he announced his graduation due to his own recommendation, and he has no intention to watch it. They did.
Speaking of which, before Hashimoto Nana graduated, the last uniform she wore was this red striped dress. This uniform brought back Xiang Bunyan's memories. It seems that Hashimoto Nanami didn't come to the company today.
There is no requirement for the chairs to be arranged in order, so they all find their own seats to sit down.
"Today is the announcement of Nogizaka46's 17th single selection member."
Yoshio Konno stood not far from the camera, facing all the members, holding the copy that Xiang Bunyan had printed and handed to him, and began to announce the selection.
"The number of 17 single selections is 21 people."
"Oh!" "It seems there are more this time..." "There have never been so many, right?"
After hearing this, the members all whispered for a while, but soon became calm.
"Then, the CENTER of this order is two people, W CENTER. Let's start from the third row, No. 13, Shinnai Mai."
"Bah bang bang."
Everyone in the room applauded, including Xiang Benren.
Posted one after another, this time the announcement was not as stained as when the Banana Man hosted it before, and soon it was down to the last two people, the two CENTERs.
"The CENTER of this order, No. 3, Nishino Nanase."
"Bah bang bang."
Xiang Bunren looked at Nishino Nanase standing up from his seat and walked to the other side of the room. Xiang Bunren had a bad feeling about this woman named Nishino Nanase. As a young idol, it is inevitable to sell his character. Nishino Nanase is a typical 'soft' character, and that's how Nodan's girlfriend got her title.
However, relying on his years of experience in judging people very accurately, Nishino Nanase has always given Xiang Bunren a very scheming feeling, just like the kind of "don't bully me, or I will cry" kind of temperament It's fake. In fact, I'm not like this at all behind my back. I deliberately put on a very cute and innocent look, but I'm actually smarter than anyone else.
This kind of woman can't be said to be annoying to Bunyan, just a little repulsive, but as an idol, who cares what you say behind your back? Besides, it doesn't matter what kind of person Nishino Nanase is.
After the selection was announced, the seventeen singles were played by Nishino Nanase and Shiraishi Mai. They are two popular TOPs. At least from the lineup point of view, they are perfect.
After the announcement, the members filmed a selection interview before returning to the lounge. After all, they couldn't go to the dressing room to attend to foreign affairs in their uniforms. They had to go to the dressing room to change clothes and take off their makeup first.
Xiang Benren returned to the employee lounge, and as soon as his butt landed on the chair, he was lifted up and slipped up.
"Xiang Ben, go and deliver the basket of condolences to them." Team leader Panasonic pointed to a pile of unopened food not far away and said.
"..." Xiang Bunren thought to himself that if he didn't tell him earlier, he would have to wait until he rested to give him instructions, but that was all he thought about. "Okay, I'll go now."
Xiang Bunren walked towards the members' lounge carrying a basket of condolences. He also took a look and saw that it was indeed sweets. Except for a few people such as Matsumura Sayuri, the other members basically didn't eat this kind of food. moveable.
"Dong dong."
"excuse me."
Pushing the door of the lounge open to Ben Yan, I originally thought it would be very noisy, but there were not many people in the usually bustling lounge at this time.
"Xiang Bensang, what delicious food did you bring?"
As Xiang Benhi expected, the first one to rush up was Erika Ikuta.
"A gift from CATMIO, a cookie." Xiang Bunyan walked straight to the table and put down the basket while talking to Erika Ikuta. "Congratulations on being selected as the God of Fortune."
He congratulated Ikuta Erika and said to Bunhi.
In the past few years of working in Nogizaka, he is considered to be someone who has persisted for a long time. Most of the staff who come here for young idols basically can’t continue working for a few months. The work is tiring, and they are not the kind of photographers. Yes, it’s hard for staff and idols like them to speak.
But even at the lowest level, Xiang Benren has been working for almost three years and has been hanging out in front of the members for three years. Even if he is a cat, they remember him. At the same time, they all know that he is a bridge pusher.
"I'm still a member of the first row in the top order. Congratulations on being in the second row this time." Erika Ikuta glanced at her mouth, but it didn't affect her speed of taking the cookies. Soon there was one less in the basket. Less than half.
"Well, I'll go back to the front row after placing my order. Come on." Xiang Benren said with a hand on his waist.
"Then I accept your good advice~Thank you."
Erika Ikuta thanked her and ran back to the sofa holding her pile of cookies.
Because today's recording has been completed, the members either went home or had other activities, and basically everyone who should have left left. Erika Ikuta seemed to leave a little later because of time reasons, as there was a foreign affairs officer waiting for her. I went out, but the remaining time was awkward, so I just stayed in the company for a while.
"Buzz~"
Suddenly, there was a vibrating sound coming from nowhere. There was no one near Xiang Bunren. His first reaction was his mobile phone. He took out his mobile phone and took a look, but there was no information about who it belonged to.
"Buzz~"
Another look, it seemed...under the basket.
He lifted the basket, and sure enough, there was a white mobile phone underneath, still on.
"What should I do if I find out I like girls..." Xiang Bunren squinted and read the title of the webpage displayed on his phone.
"Bang."
At this time, there was a sound on the door behind him. Xiang Benyan glanced back with the basket, and it was Nishino Nanase. At this time, she had finished changing her clothes and waved her hands as if she had just washed them.
The two looked at each other for a moment, and Nishino Nanase retracted his eyes as if he was electrocuted and looked at his feet.
"Nishino-san, do you know whose phone this phone belongs to? It rang twice just now." Xiang Benren said, pointing to the phone on the table.
Hearing what Xiang Bunyan said, Nishino Nanase quickly ran over, grabbed the phone and hid it behind his back.
"mine..."
"...Um..."
Embarrassed, Xiang Bunren bit his lip subconsciously.
"Okay, then I will..."
"you saw it?"
"I didn't see it." Xiang Bunren responded extremely quickly. As soon as Nishino Nanase finished speaking, he picked up the conversation. "I still have something to do over there, so I'm leaving."
Walk towards Bunyan towards the door.
"Oh, by the way, congratulations on serving as CENTER."
After leaving such a sentence, Xiang Bunren left without waiting for Nishino Nanase to speak. He rushed all the way back to the employee lounge, turned around and fell down on the sofa. In fact, he didn't pay attention to what happened just now. He had no interest in the personal life of his little idol, whether he liked men or women.
He had always had the habit of taking a nap in the afternoon. He lay on the sofa and fell asleep soon after.
It wasn't until about an hour later that Xiang Benren was called up.
"Hey, don't sleep, wake up."
"Um?"
Xiang Bunren opened his eyes drowsily, and the team leader's face was not far from him.
"Oh, it would be nice if Nanamin came to call me..." Xiang Benren thought for a while.
"It's pretty good to think about it." Matsushita sneered, "Get up, you have work."
"What's wrong? Isn't everything recorded?"
With that said, Xiang Benren sat up and rubbed his eyes.
"Nishino Nanase is on foreign duty, and there is a few people carrying things. Go and help."
"...Nishino Nanase?"
"Yes, Nishino Nanase." Matsushita nodded.
"nishino?"
"Yes, Nanase. Why are you so annoying? Everyone has almost packed up. Go downstairs to the door. That's the business car."
"Tsk..."
"What the hell, I specifically asked you by name, so just go ahead and enjoy it."
He would probably be happier if he didn't go.
"Then I still need to go home to report." As he said this, Xiang Benren packed up and put on his down jacket.
"No, you can just finish fucking them and go home in the afternoon."
"OK."
Xiang Benren twisted his nose and went downstairs. A white business car was parked at the door. He ran out and opened the door. It should be said that it was a car worthy of a female idol. A smell of perfume came to him. He saw Nishino Nanase and her agent sitting in the car.
"Get in the car." The agent knew him.
"excuse me."
He muttered something to Bunyan and sat down in the back row with his waist bent. He didn't speak along the way, and the two people in front didn't take the initiative to speak, so the atmosphere was very subtle.
'You're not going to put on small shoes for me, are you? Xiang Benren couldn't help but think that he seemed to have seen something extraordinary just now. If it was spread that Nishino Nanase was a lesbian, it would be a big joke.
Looking at Nanase Nishino, who had revealed his scalp in front of him, Xiang Bunren felt that he was quite dangerous, but he didn't plan to continue working. He might resign after a while.
Thinking about it this way, Xiang Benren also felt that there were too many lice and he was not afraid of being bitten. He was about to resign anyway.
When they arrived at the place where the magazine was shot, Xiang Benren followed them into the magazine office like a little follower. It was not like he had never been to the studio before. When he was working as a handyman before, he was responsible for holding the lights and winding up the wires.
So what was he called here for?
Looking at Nishino Nanase, who had already taken photos, he asked himself, sitting on a chair and watching the photos being taken as if nothing had happened. It felt like his girlfriend was taking photos and waiting nearby.
Time passed little by little. When he was bored, he took out his mobile phone and started to read interesting stories. Surfing the Internet and eating melon every day was his most enjoyable moment, because you will find that those trolls on the Internet can always make you laugh and make you laugh. You forget the worries of reality.
Even if it's only for a short time.
"Hero, thank you for your hard work. Let's take a rest."
"Thanks for your hard work."
Just when he was getting excited, someone on the set shouted, like a leader, and "Thank you" came one after another in the studio.
Of course, this also includes the protagonist Nishino Nanase.
Xiang Bunren glanced up subconsciously, and just as he was about to continue watching the video, he saw Nishino Nanase walking towards him. Xiang Bunyan stopped what he was doing, and when he confirmed that Nishino Nanase was indeed walking towards him, he put his phone into his trouser pocket.
"Thank you for your hard work." Xiang Benren said first.
"Hmm..." Nishino Nanase hummed softly.
Xiang Benren was very discerning. He immediately pulled a stool over and placed it some distance away from him. After all, the other party was a young idol and he was still a man.
"So, you called me here?" Xiang Benren was not a person who liked to talk nonsense, so he just hit a straight ball.
"um, yes."
"what's up?"
"That's right, what you saw at noon, can you..."
Xiang Benyan felt uncomfortable listening to Nishino Nanase speak. If talking can be regarded as digging a tunnel, normal people dig with a hoe, while those with a more straightforward personality drive a drill. How can Nishino Nanase compare it to a prisoner in a cell? Dig there little by little with a spoon.
"Ah, you said that." Sure enough, Xiang Benren guessed correctly, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. I'm not a big mouth."
Xiang Benren expressed his gratitude quickly. But looking at the slightly frowning expression of Nishino Nanase across from him, it was obvious that he didn't believe what he said.
"I can give you money."
After holding it in for a long time, this sentence popped out of Nishino Nanase's mouth.
"...I don't want money."
How does it feel that he has become a bad guy? Xiang Benren thought so.
"But other things, I also..." Nishino Nanase was a little flustered.
"No, you misunderstood. I didn't mean that I wanted anything else. I wanted nothing. I'll help you keep it secret for free. Do you understand?" It was the first time that Xiang Benren felt that talking to a little idol was so complicated. matter. "Besides, it's 2017, people now think more about renting a house, and homosexuality is not illegal."
"But as a public figure you are not allowed to do that."
"Uh, but I think for your profession, it's better to like women than men, right? Think about the good side of everything. For example, if you and Nanamin go out to eat or even spend the night, Wenchun can't Report an article about your indiscretion."
Nishino Nanase did not speak, but kept rubbing his knees with his hands. Xiang Benren looked at the little beauty opposite. It was the first time for him to be in such close contact with an idol. It was not unreasonable for Nishino Nanase to be pushed at such a close look. In fact, if you look closely at Nishino Nanase's eyes, you can see that the corners of the eyes are It is a little tilted up, but this angle is very comfortable and does not look kitsch. The purity is slightly mixed with a little bit of coquettishness, and the body naturally exudes a harmless but a bit playful feeling.
Nishino Nanase found that the person across from him had been looking at him, and felt a little embarrassed. When he met Xiang Bunyan's eyes, he lowered his head again as if he was electrocuted.
"Sorry." Xiang Benren also realized that he seemed a little unreasonable. "Hey, Nishino-san."
"はい."
Nishino Nanase sat up straight.
"It doesn't have to be so formal...it's just out of curiosity. When did you discover that...that thing?" Xiang Benren was embarrassed to say it too directly, and there were many people around here, "No. Sorry, that’s too presumptuous, so I don’t need to answer.”
"Just recently."
Nishino Nanase hesitated for a while, but still told the truth.
"Oh~"
The two fell into silence again.
Xiang Bunyan looked at her and thought for a while. Nishino Nanase and Hashimoto Nanami have a very good relationship. Although they are both popular TOP members, Nogizaka is relatively less competitive. I don’t know why. The relationship between them is very good. Originally, they were in a competitive relationship, but it's so wonderful that everyone gets along very harmoniously.
"Hey, Nishino-san."
"はい."
"Do you want me to teach you how to chase girls?" Xiang Benren moved his stool forward with a slight smile.
"はい?"
"You girls, virgin friends, you are good at chasing girls, I am good at chasing girls. Only men know what women want. How about, think about it. I used to be called Xiaoyue Lao in school."
Even though Xiang Benren usually looks like a serious gentleman, when he was in school, he was a matchmaker for many people. Both boys and girls came to him for matchmaking. Not to mention, the success rate was quite high.
Although he has no feelings for Nishino Nanase, he is still happy to help others and pull strings. The spirit of pulling strings that had been dormant for three years seemed to be rekindled.
"Are you sure?" Nishino Nanase leaned back and looked down at him.
"Believe me, I'm an expert in love. Well... I'm not an expert, but I know more than a novice like you, right?"
"Well..." Nishino Nanase nodded hesitantly.
"Now, it seems like you have a goal, right? Who? Tell me." Xiang Bunren became more interested, unscrewing the water on the table next to him and taking a sip.
"Mai-like."
"Cough cough cough."
The saliva almost choked him to death. If Nishino Nanase wasn't sitting across from him, he would probably have spit it out. Xiang Bunren looked at her, shocked but also a little... excited.
What fans like to watch the most is CP. As a senior bridge pusher, he is also a No Tuan fan.
"I agree to this marriage." He gave Bunyan a thumbs up.
"It's useless if you agree."
"Well, it's not a big problem. Just do as I say. As long as Mai doesn't hate you, I will take it down."
"Must win?"
"Definitely take it!"
--------------------------------------------------
February 20, late.
Xiang Benren wrapped himself tightly. It seemed to be colder today than the previous two days. If it weren't for a class reunion, he would have stayed at home and played games. Dark clouds covered the sun and half of the moon was blocked.
He turned on his phone and looked at the time. It was 8:20, and he was on his way to the izakaya. He would definitely be able to catch up with the party at 8:30, but what he was thinking about was that he was in Tokyo, but waiting for Shiraishi in another place. Mai's Nishino Nanase.
This is the first time he has helped his friends chase girls. This is the first time he has helped a girl chase a girl.
He raised his head and glanced at the sky. There was a gusty wind, and it was clearly going to be a sunny day. Thinking about this, he tightened his collar and continued on his way.
"cheers!"
In an izakaya or a class reunion, drinking is naturally inevitable. Everyone is an adult entering the society. Almost no one drinks fruit juice and Coke. They just pour the wine and start drinking.
"Ren, are you still doing this at Sony?" Xiang Benren, a boy next to him, put down his glass and asked.
"Yeah, but I'm planning to quit recently."
"Quit? What do you mean, return to your old profession?"
"Let's take a look and find a company to try."
"Congratulations to the talented architect who found his way back. Congratulations. Let's have another drink for your future!"
"Drink so fast, you're not afraid of getting drunk."
He said this, but he also raised his glass to Bunyan.
Gradually, although there were those who showed off their disgusting behavior at the class reunion, most of the people still had the mentality of reminiscing about the past, eating and talking about interesting things about college. Time passed very quickly, and soon it was over. It was almost ten o'clock, but there was no intention of leaving.
Xiang Benren didn't have to pay attention to the girls' table on the other side of the dinner party. At some point, it started pouring rain outside, and it was time to pour water down.
"Dingling bell~"
Just as Xiang Benren was looking out the window in a daze, his cell phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID and saw that it was an unknown number. He thought about it and ignored it.
"Dingling bell~"
After a while, the bell rang again. He glanced and saw the same number again.
"Hello? Hello." This time he didn't refuse to listen.
"Xiang Benren?"
A female voice came from the phone, but the voice sounded unfriendly no matter how hard it sounded.
"It's me, may I ask who you are..."
"I am Shizuka Sato, Nishino Nanase's manager."
"Oh, Sato-san, what's wrong?"
Sato Shizuka shouldn't have his phone number, and generally speaking, agents won't contact staff of his level.
"Where's Nanase?" The other party's voice was cold.
"Nishino, she..."
"I'm telling you, if something happens to Nanase, don't even think about leaving."
Before Xiang Bunren could finish his words, the other party threatened him with a fiery temper. No matter how good-tempered Xiang Bunren was, he couldn't stand this unexplained anger.
"Sato-san, Nishino is not with me. She should be with Shiraishi now."
"Shiraishi just sent me a message. She said she couldn't get through Nanase's phone, and I couldn't get through either. Nishino Nanase has been so weird lately, and she even brought you with her the day before yesterday. Who would she be with if she wasn't with you?"
"Um?"
Xiang Bunren frowned and found that something seemed amiss. Today she asked Nishino Nanase to ask Mai Shiraishi out for dinner and shopping. Logically speaking, they should all have finished eating and prepare to go to Shiraishi's house by now. Why are they even here now? No letter?
Abnormal, very abnormal.
"Sato-san, don't worry, I'll contact her."
"let me tell you..."
Before Shizuka Sato could finish shouting, Xiang Bunren hung up the phone.
Opening LINE, he sent a message to Nishino Nanase, but there was no response. After a few minutes, there was still no response. He called LINE directly, so that as long as her phone was nearby, he would be able to hear her.
But unfortunately, no one answered.
Did you lose your phone somewhere? Or is it a signal problem on rainy days? That's not right, Sato Shizuka called him smoothly, and there was no interference in the communication between the two.
The more he thought about it, the more something was wrong. Although he didn't like Nishino Nanase very much, she was Nogizaka's top after all. If something happened, he really couldn't bear the responsibility.
Xiang Bunren put the clothes on the back of the seat, zipped it up and walked outside.
"Hey, why are you going? I haven't finished eating yet." The boy grabbed Xiang Benren.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, everyone, I have something urgent at home, so I'll take the first step." Xiang Benren bent over and apologized one by one.
"Takeuchi, lend me your umbrella."
Xiang Bunren picked up a black umbrella next to the table and ran out.
"Hey, how do I get back?" asked the bespectacled man named Takeuchi.
"Don't you like Watanabe? It just so happens that you can take an umbrella back together. You're welcome." Xiang Bunren didn't even look back.
"This kid...what are you talking nonsense about?"
The bespectacled man's face turned red, and his eyes drifted to the girl at the table from time to time.
After leaving the izakaya, he was not idle on the phone. He kept calling Nishino Nanase, and kept calling, and kept calling, but no one answered.
Xiang Bunyan recalled that when he gave Nishino Nanase advice, Nishino Nanase planned to meet at the commercial street in Shiraishi Ginza today, and the meeting place was in front of a quite iconic bronze statue. This is much better than those who meet in front of some store.
'She's not still waiting there, is she? Not that much...'
The thoughts in my mind came up, were suppressed, and came out again. At this time, he hoped that Nishino Nanase would wait there stupidly, and he also hoped that Nishino Nanase would have gone home long ago.
He was not far from the meeting place, but not close either. Taking a taxi was a waste of money, so he simply ran all the way to Bunren. Fortunately, he was in good health, but when he ran to the place, his lungs were about to burst.
In front of the bronze statue, only a few passers-by passed by. Only a white figure stood out, standing motionless in front of the bronze statue, like a lamppost.
Xiang Bunyan squinted his eyes, trying to confirm whether it was Nishino Nanase, but the distance was too far, and his eyesight was not strong enough. There was a street between the two sides, and it was still a red light, so he couldn't get through even if he thought about it.
"Beep, beep, beep."
The traffic lights were like drums, beating on Xiang Bunren's heart. These few dozen seconds felt extremely long to him.
"Da da da."
Finally, the pedestrian light turned green, Xiang Bunren flew out like a wild horse and ran to the bronze statue.
"Ha...ha..." Xiang Benren was dressed roughly, "Xiye?"
Through the rain gauze, he was still not sure whether the person in front of him with his head lowered and wearing a white wool down jacket was Nishino Nanase.
The figure slowly raised his head, and a small face with eyes was revealed.
I remember these eyes very clearly, they were Nishino Nanase's, that's right.
"Holy shit, eldest sister..." Xiang Bunren had ten thousand grass-mud horses passing by in his mind.
But now that the other person was still pouring water, he couldn't say much, so he walked over and held the umbrella on Nishino Nanase's head.
"Take it!"
Because the rain was so loud, Xiang Bunyan couldn't help but increase the volume. Nishino Nanase took the umbrella handle tremblingly like a frightened rabbit.
Xiang Bunyan unzipped, took off his down jacket, revealing the woolen sweater underneath, and walked behind Nishino Nanase.
"Why!"
He took off Nishino Nanase's clothes. Because they were made of wool and had been soaked in the rain for so long, they were as heavy as a suit of armor. He put his dry down jacket on Nishino Nanase and took it smoothly. Umbrella.
It was okay for the two of them to stay here like this. After thinking about it for a while, Xiang Bunyan told Nishino Nanase to follow him and started walking north.
Tokyo is a big city, which also means there are many small alleys. In twists and turns, Xiang Benhi led Nishino Nanase into a small alley. The only bright place in the alley was a small restaurant.
Not far from them, a man wearing a raincoat and holding a camera smacked his lips secretly.
"It's a woman. Damn it. I thought there was some big news."
The man operated the camera and deleted the photo of two long-haired figures in the rain. Then disappeared into the rainy night.
The perspective returned to Xiang Benren, who took Nishino Nanase into the tavern and shook off the umbrella.
"You sit down first."
Xiang Benren entertained her like a boss. He wrung out Nishino Nanase's clothes at the door, and then hung them on the heater in the room to dry them faster.
"Welcome light...what, it's Xiaoren." An old man came out from behind, ready to entertain the guests, but he didn't expect that he was an acquaintance.
"Uncle Yoshida, I came here to take shelter from the rain, I'm sorry."
"It's okay, oh, your girlfriend?" The old man waved his hand, but his attention was on Nishino Nanase.
"No, a friend."
"Ah, I understand, my friend, then you can entertain your friends well. You can put up the closing sign, and I'll go upstairs and watch TV."
"okay."
"My door is very soundproof, so I can't hear anything. I watch TV for a long time, for an hour, and I won't come down to use the bathroom for an hour." Yoshida held the door frame and explained everything in detail.
"She is really my friend..."
"Tsk, I understand, I'm going up." After saying this, the old man closed the door.
Now, he and Nishino Nanase were the only two people left in the whole room.
"I'm sorry, that old man's name is Yoshida Yumichi, he's me... he's my grandfather's friend." Xiang Benren scratched his head, "Take off your coat, don't cover your cold, I'll get you a glass of water. "
"Um..."
Nishino Nanase obediently took off his down jacket and put it aside, revealing a half-wet shirt, but only his shoulders were wet. Most of the rainwater was absorbed by the wool down jacket.
Bunyan poured a glass of boiling water to Nishino Nanase.
"garrulous."
"Thanks."
"So," Xiang Benren sat behind the counter, only a table away from Nishino Nanase, "What is your situation? If your agent hadn't called me to ask for someone, you would still be in the rain now."
"My mobile is out of battery."
"Yes, I guessed it. Don't answer anyone who calls you. Give it to me." He extended his hand to Bunren.
"What?"
"Charge your mobile phone and call your agent quickly, otherwise she will come over and kill me."
"Oh." Nishino Nanase took out her white mobile phone from the bag she carried with her.
"Apple huh?"
"right."
"Fortunately, if you have an Android, I don't have a charger here." After taking the phone, he leaned towards Bunren, pulled a white cord from the corner, and plugged it into the phone. "Here, tell your agent that I didn't kidnap you."
Xiang Bunren took out his cell phone and dialed Sato Shizuka.
Next, even if Xiang Benyan was about half a meter away from Nishino Nanase, he could clearly hear the voice of Sato Shizuka scolding Nishino Nanase on the phone. Nishino Nanase was like a child who had done something wrong. , being submissive and not daring to speak, could only agree and keep admitting his mistakes.
After chatting for about ten minutes, the other party hung up the phone. Originally, it was Shizuka Sato who wanted to say a few words to him, but Xiang Benren didn't want to talk to that tigress. She was about to resign anyway, and she couldn't suppress her across industries. Bar?
Put the phone back in your pocket and continue talking to Nishino Nanase.
"You're out of battery. Don't you know how to find a store to take shelter from the rain and recharge it?"
"But Mai and I made an appointment to meet there. If I enter the store, she won't be able to find me."
"..."
Nanase Nishino sat in the customer's seat, and Xiang Bunyan sat on the boss's stool. He was taller than Nanase Nishino, and since he was already tall, Nanase Nishino had to look up at him, feeling wet. The bright eyes behind her bangs and the naturally pouty lips feel even more attractive after being washed by the rain.
Maybe as a fan, you will never see this scene. Nishino Nanase is like a stray cat waiting for food, looking up at him pitifully, which makes people feel extremely protective.
"Then do you think it's better to stay out in the rain, or to talk to Maiyang after charging?" Xiang Bunren blinked and asked, putting aside his distracting thoughts.
"But what if I go to take shelter from the rain and Maiyang comes and can't see me."
"Then...then why don't you ask a passerby to borrow a mobile phone?"
"I can not..."
"..."
According to Nishino Nanase on the screen, she is indeed capable of such a thing, but privately, Xiang Benren thought that she was a quite independent person. He had previously thought that Nishino Nanase was all soft and cute. She was all disguised deliberately. Looking at it this way, this child is really a bit...
Foolishly.
"You haven't eaten yet. Conditions are limited. Are there any taboos?"
"If I may, I don't really like green peppers."
"Just green peppers?"
"There are also carrots, onions, eggplants, burdock, taro, mustard, fungus, offal."
"You're really rude..."
Xiang Bunyan walked to the back kitchen, started cooking some, and came out with a bowl of steaming udon noodles, placing it in front of Nishino Nanase.
"The craftsmanship is not very good, but at least it can fill your stomach. I put some barbecue and tofu for you, so you can eat it."
"Thank you." Nishino Nanase bowed slightly to Xiang Bunren, "I'm starting."
Nishino Nanase was obviously very hungry, and the steaming udon noodles were wrapped in soup and put into his mouth.
"Hi~ha, it's delicious." I didn't forget to praise it while eating.
"OK, don't rectify those virtual ones, it's not delicious, I haven't eaten it, I don't have eaten it. You may be hot in your mouth, can you have a taste?" The lies of Nishino Sase.
The roots of Nishino Seaki became red, and then they ate silently without continuing to say it.
One noodles, one looked at people eating noodles, and the two were so stayed downstairs. There was only the sound of Nishino Seako sucking noodles in the whole store, although she was already loud.
"I was full. Hum ..." After that, Nishino Sase took a snot.
"Don't come again?"
"No."
Affirmative, he handed her a paper towel to Ben Ren.
"Thanks."
"It's okay. Okay, your clothes are almost doing, mobile phone ..." Xiang Benren pressed the standby keys, and the wallpaper of taking a photo with Shiraishi Mai on the mobile phone of Nishino. "The power is enough for you to go home."
Ben Ren returned his mobile phone to Nishino Sase.
"Okay, go back." Seeing Ben Ren almost, he got a guest order.
"I ..." Nishino Sase is a little dazed.
Theoretically, according to the TV series routine, shouldn't it be a man to send a lady home at this moment? Why not go out on the opposite side.
"What's wrong, don't know the way home?"
"know."
"Then you go back, one person can, all 22, 23 people. I will never send you it, I don't want to be photographed by your fans, I want to live a few more years." Xiang Xiangxiang Ben Ren joked.
"Haha." Obviously, he also laughed at Nishino Sase.
"The rain stopped, and the umbrella would not be given to you. I still take my classmate's umbrella."
"By the way, are you here today?"
"Well, I won't eat half of it with you."
"Feel sorry."
"I should say sorry, I would have taken it down, huh." Xiang Benren mocked himself.
"No, I think it's very good to your idea to Ben Sang."
"Hmm, yes, yes, you can't go home, I don't go home, I tell you that there is no one near the three verses in the middle of the night. You also heard what the old man just said, now there are .... Twenty 20 In minutes, I think twenty minutes I should be able to solve the battle. If you don't leave, I will ... "
"Speaking, it's disturbing." Hearing this, Nishino Sase's face became more and more red. Since the idol of the industry, the number of times of Ka Huangqiang has not yet had a lot of fingers, and he was shy.
Wearing clothes, I walked out of the izakaya and walked in the direction of home. Xiang Benren's name was deepened a lot in her heart. She suddenly had a kind of desire to know Xiang Benren.
But she never noticed this signs.
In the izakaya.
"Girl is gone?"
"Aren't you watching TV?"
"This is not to watch the girl go, I will come out."
"Do you still say a good sound insulation?"
"Hey, say this." The old man Yoshida waved his hands and said, the folds on the entire face were stacked together. "This little girl looks water, don't work hard?"
"It's not a person in the world. The most important thing to be a person is self -knowledge. Is this you taught me, forgot it?"
"Well, indeed, but I have also taught you that you can't easily admit defeat. So early, you are not a world?"
"Oh, the old man doesn't understand."
Operating the phone screen to Benren, clicking on the mailbox, and the resignation of the resignation in the draft box.
