In the following days, Lixiang was even more busy.In September, the two TV dramas that Lixiang starred in were broadcast on TV, and Lixiang will also participate in some programs to cooperate with the publicity.In fact, she shouldn't be able to play such a small supporting role, but the protagonist is too busy, so a small supporting role like her is just a supplement.

Rika's first single was also released. When Tsuruga Ren promoted her single, she said it was a song written by Rika, and then the main pv "I Heard" was also starred by Shingo Hirai. In addition, when she attended some music shows , according to the arrangement of the company, they all played and sang by themselves, without any accompaniment, and the effect was very good.So the sales in the first week are not very good, but they are definitely not bad.The company is quite satisfied. After all, the singer who just debuted was not famous enough before, and the promotional efforts are also very limited.

The only surprising thing is that the singles released by Lixiang are not like other singles that only have high sales in the first week and then gradually decrease. Instead, they have remained relatively flat every week since the release. Although they could not reach the top of the sales list, they have been hanging In the tenth position, after three or four weeks, the sales volume is quite impressive.

And Lixiang's first movie "Love Letter" was officially released in October, and Lixiang and Aoi started to promote it.

In the rest of the time, Lixiang still has to go to class, and it will be mid-October by the time Lixiang can rest completely.And on October 10th also ushered in Rika's 10th birthday.Lixiang originally intended to cook in the apartment where she lives now, and everyone celebrated together, but was rejected by everyone, and finally decided to go directly to Xiu's family, and the food was also prepared by the chef of Xiu's family.

Li Xiang naturally knew that everyone cared about her, and she was afraid that she would be tired from cooking and tidying up, so she naturally accepted the favor.

Suzuki Sonoko and Mori Ran who grew up watching Rika, Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha who are far away in Kansai, and classmates and childhood sweethearts Takahashi Sei and Uesugi Daima are all people who must come.She also called Kyoko, MO Zisan, Yushi Ninzu and Masa Yukimura who kept in touch.Taroda Maria also went abroad to see her father, but couldn't come.Dr. Ali and Conan also took advantage of the weekend to go camping, and they couldn't come.

So, including Xiu Yi and Li Xiang, there are only twelve people.It's just that I didn't expect that when Rika Kyoko and the others finished their work in the morning, the three of them would go to repair a family together.Toxiu's family was led into the living room of the villa by the butler, but saw many people...

Yukimura pouted and explained, "My brother said it's not safe to come to Tokyo alone."

So the whole tennis team is here?

Lixiang raised the corners of her mouth and forced a smile: "Welcome."

Xiang Hiyue also ran over: "Kudo, you don't call us on your birthday, it's too embarrassing..." Yushi Ninzu made a somewhat helpless expression to Rika behind him.

We don't seem to be very familiar with it.

Li Xiang smiled and said, "Sorry, sorry."

Fuji Shusuke also came over, still smiling and said: "We also want to celebrate Kudo-san's birthday."

We seem to have only met a few times.

Li Xiang laughed until her face froze: "Thank you, thank you."

Seeing the chaotic scene, Xiuyi ran to help him helplessly: "Rika, let me introduce the friend you brought."

Li Xiang's smile became natural: "This is Jingzi, and this is Qinnan Zuojiang. We are both LME students at the same time and in the same department. We are usually very good friends."

Kikumaru Eiji approached, eyes sparkling and surprised, "Kyoko? Is it Mio from "DARKMOON"?"

"Yes."

"I didn't expect to see a real person, you are so amazing."

……

Jingzi and Qinnan Zuojiang were able to quickly integrate into it, which made Lixiang breathe a sigh of relief.

Ninja Yushi who was on the side was about to come over to talk to him, but Shusuke Fuji beat him: "Kudou-san, I want to introduce someone to you." Shusuke Fuji pulled the short brown-haired boy beside him. There are small cross marks, and the eyes have been wandering. When the gaze meets Lixiang's big dark and suspicious eyes, her ears are red.

"This is my younger brother, Fuji Yuta, a third-year student at St. Rudolph Junior High School."

"Senior Fuji, hello, Kudo Rika, a second-year student at Teidan Middle School." He said hello with a slight bow.

Fuji Yuta's cheeks were also red, and he said nah na, "Hello."

Fujisuke interjected with a smile, "Actually, my younger brother likes Kudo-san very much and is a fan of Kudo-san."

"Eh?" Lixiang was surprised at first, and then a grateful look appeared on her face: "Thank you." Lixiang was so busy that she only paid a little attention to the sales in the first week. In the name of comfort, Li Xiang's ears were callused when she heard the sarcastic words.At this moment, a person said that he liked her song, which made her extremely flattered.

Fuji Yuta assisted and pushed Fuji Yuta, and Fuji Yuta said with an unnatural expression: "That...it's not convenient for Fang, can you sign for me?" When he said this, he didn't dare to look at Rika.

Li Xiang opened her mouth in surprise, and then a really bright sunflower-like smile appeared on her face: "Okay."

At this time, a solo single by Rika appeared in front of her. Rika followed the single and saw Nioh Masaharu's cynical face: "Sign one for Marui Bunta too."

Rika glanced at Nioh Masaharu and Marui Fumita smiled at her embarrassedly, and Rika nodded with a smile, agreeing.

After a few words, it was time for lunch.Everyone had a lively lunch together, and then most of the tennis teenagers went to the tennis court behind the villa to play tennis.The rest of the people are still chatting in the living room.

Lixiang, Jingzi and Qinnan Zuojiang are discussing the announcement. Although they are all autumn dramas, "DARKMOON" is relatively long, and only part of it has been filmed now.And the plays that Li Xiang and Qin Nan Zuojiang participated in were about to finish, so I talked about the scripts I received recently.

Kyoko sighed: "I got three scripts, all of which were bad girls. Is it a karmic cycle?" Because I was always bullied before: "And I always play that kind of bullying role, there is no way to hone my acting skills."

Lixiang sighed weakly: "I also got three scripts, but they are basically idol dramas, and they are all the kind of silly and innocent characters." Appearance: "'As long as you can be happy, I don't care what I do', 'I will wait for you here, I will wait', 'I believe that our love can overcome everything'," Li Xiang sighed: "The Virgin of this vase You can’t hone your acting skills at all with such a role.” And Lixiang really doesn’t like such a role, even a lover should love with dignity, and someone who naively thinks that love is everything is too stupid.

So, two pairs of big pure eyes looked at Qinnan Zuojiang flickeringly.

Qin Nan Zuo Jiang was unable to support his forehead: "I will decline."

The two looked at each other, and it was true.

"If it's not the role I want to play, then I won't be able to play it well at all." Seeing the two people nodding, Qin Nan Zuojiang smiled bitterly: "Actually, I also did some work that I didn't want to do for the sake of exposure, such as being caught by the same A stupid little woman who is abandoned by men over and over again, a poor OL who thinks that there is only love in this world, who has been dazzled by love, is very decadent, right?"

Rika, who has never been in love first, and Kyoko, who is afraid of love, nodded desperately.

Qin Nan Zuojiang's face darkened suddenly: "There is also the role of the second daughter of a big family from a poor family." Although she is the number one female: "Why did this kind of role fall into my hands?"

Lixiang and Kyoko looked at each other with a clear look in their eyes, so it was completely tailor-made.

"Could it be that my well-trained acting skills exude a sense of poverty?" Qin Nan Zuo Jiang beat his chest and stamped his feet: "What is 'no money but love', can you fill your stomach without money? Barbara..." The two began to listen to Qin Nan Zuo Jiang The big story: "So, your decision is correct. Many scenes will make you stagnate."

Li Xiang asked: "But MO Zisang, if you are too picky about the script and have no exposure for a long time, it will be even more difficult to accept dramas in the future."

Qin Nanzuojiang nodded: "So you have to control this speed yourself." Thinking of something, he continued: "Lixiang, I remember that you are now a semi-permanent member of two variety shows, right?"

Li Xiang nodded. The invitation she received at the end of July was, in the final analysis, because the booked artists were unable to attend, so they informed her: "One is for a karaoke competition." The impression I left on the other party last time was pretty good. , so I received an invitation: "The other is a test of common sense and simple knowledge." Because Lixiang read a lot since she was a child, and she is still in junior high school, her accuracy rate is quite high, and her performance on the show is not bad, so she also received the invitation.

"Perform well. Variety shows can increase your popularity."

"Of course." After finally getting the notice, how could he not show it well.

……

Suzuki Sonoko looked at the three of them working and chatting enthusiastically, and looked at the people in the living room, most of their eyes were focused on them, so he had to come over and take the notepads of the three of them, and said to them helplessly : "You three, since today is Lixiang's birthday, let's have fun, gossip, and stop thinking about work."

Suzuki Sonoko made a fool of Rika, Lixiang looked at the people in the living room, many people were looking at them, it seemed that they were listening with their ears just now, smiled apologetically, raised her head and said to Suzuki Sonoko : "How about some fun?"

Suzuki Sonoko took out the cards: "How about the werewolf game?" Then he turned to greet everyone: "Would you like to come together?"

Many people responded, so they sat and played together lively.

Li Xiang touched the cell phone that didn't vibrate through her clothes, a trace of loneliness flashed in her eyes.

Qin Nan Zuojiang glanced at Li Xiang, sighed secretly, but didn't say anything.

It was said to be a birthday party for Rika, but in the end it completely turned into a party where everyone played and played together.But it's true that everyone had a good time.After dinner, everyone left birthday presents for Li Xiang and went back.Rika rejected Xiuyi's suggestion to stay at his house, and didn't ask the driver to take her off, but went to the bus stop to take the bus.

After boarding the bus, Lixiang chose a seat by the window to sit down, took out the mobile phone in her pocket, saw that there were no missed calls or emails on it, Lixiang sighed, the corners of her eyes and brows were slightly bitter.Li Xiang was reluctant to put the phone in her pocket, but held it in her hand, leaning her head against the car window, watching the bright lights moving backwards outside the window.Rika bit her lower lip, but her grip on the phone kept increasing.

When the bus arrived, Lixiang walked slowly downstairs to the apartment building, raised her head and looked up, some windows were brightly lit, while others were dark.Rika gritted her teeth, took a deep breath, walked into the apartment, and pressed her floor as usual.After the elevator stopped, Lixiang walked to her room door, took out the key from her bag to open the door, although it was inconvenient, she didn't put away the phone in her hand either.

After changing his shoes, he lazily said "I'm back", without even turning on the lights, and with the moonlight and lights coming in from the floor-to-ceiling windows, he walked to the living room and threw himself on the sofa.Fingers touched the dark mobile phone screen, which was particularly glaring in the dark room.

【Senior Tsuruga doesn't know your birthday?If he doesn't even have an email or phone call that day, I think you should give up. 】

[Yeah, I think ordinary friends would do this kind of greeting. If he refuses to put on a perfunctory face, you can imagine your status in his heart. 】

Li Xiang remembered what Qin Nan Zuo Jiang had said before, her heart felt as if someone had pinched her heart, and the pain swelled up bit by bit.Although he said it very chicly, and he is indeed not a person who takes love so seriously, he still feels sad and sad.

Don't you even want to be perfunctory?

So how has he always seen himself?

Rika turned over irritably on the sofa, stared straight at the ceiling, her mind was in chaos, Tsuruga Ren's gentle and patient smile to herself and the image of him whispering to other women could not stop in her mind tumbling.Obviously the body is already very tired, but there is no sleepiness at all.

The doorbell rang, and Lixiang sat up lazily, without even turning on the light, and walked slowly to the door, asking casually, "Who is it?"

"It's me, Tsuruga Ren."

Lixiang's big eyes flashed with joy for a moment, and her tone was full of joy: "Wait a minute." He quickly turned on the chandelier, arranged his somewhat messy hair and clothes at the full-length mirror by the door, restrained his face from being too bright With a smile, he calmed down his mood, opened the door in front of him, and saw that familiar face, still extremely gentle eyes and smile.

"Senior Lian, please come in."

Tsuruga Ren shook her head: "You don't need to go in." Stretched out her right hand, a small silver hexagonal box was in the palm of her hand, and handed it to Li Xiang: "Happy 14th birthday."

The sadness and entanglement just now seemed to disappear in an instant, the heart was beating non-stop, the eyes showed joy, and the arc of the smile couldn't help but widen.Lixiang stretched out her hand, and her fingertips lightly touched the box with body temperature, but she retracted for some reason, seemed to be struggling a bit, then stretched out her hand to grab the box, raised her head and said with a bright smile: "Thank you .”

"Don't you want to take a look?" The tone seemed rather regretful.

Rika's cheeks were slightly red, she bit her lower lip, and opened the box, revealing the sunflower brooch inside.The sunflower brooch is inlaid with gemstones of different sizes from deep to shallow on a platinum base, which is lifelike and exquisite.Although Lixiang is not very proficient in gemstones, she can roughly tell the difference between cheap and expensive.

Looking at the color and transparency of gemstones, you will know that the price is not cheap.

Looking at this gift, Lixiang was a little hesitant. According to her long-standing principles of dealing with things, except from her family and friends who grew up with her, she would not accept expensive gifts from others.

However, this was given by Senior Tsuruga Lian, and I really want to keep it...

Seeing that Lixiang just lowered her head to look at the brooch without speaking, Tsuruga Lian asked, "Don't you like it?"

Li Xiang quickly shook her head, this is really beautiful, how could she not like it: "It's too precious..."

Tsuruga Ren secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and interrupted Rika's words: "Just as long as you like it. There is one more thing, I would like to trouble you to go with me..." Saying that, she stretched out her other hand.

Li Xiang looked at the things in his hands, and was very surprised: "Incense and firework?"

"Let's go to the rooftop and let's play it together." Tsuruga Lian said.

There was a dim, small light bulb on on the roof, which wasn't really bright.Rika and Tsuruga Ren squatted on the ground side by side, each holding a small incense stick Hanabi.

Rika turned her head to look at Ren Tsuruga, the faint light of Hanabi Senka reflected on her handsome face, she looked at Hanabi Senko with serious and focused eyes, as if she was doing something very sacred.Lixiang couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"What's the matter?" The one in Tsuruga Lian's hand was about to burn out, so she quickly took out a new one and lit it.

"I just feel that Senior Lian and Xianxiang Huahuo don't match very well, which is a bit strange."

"Strange?" Ren Tsuruga smiled and turned her head to look at Rika.

Rika took out the last stick of incense and lit it, and nodded with a smile.

"But you are very suitable..."

"Eh?" Lixiang was a little surprised, she looked sideways at Tsuruga Ren, but her gaze just collided with his eyes, gentle, focused, firm, and serious, which made people feel heart-thumping.Li Xiang quickly lowered her head, her cheeks began to heat up, her heart was beating like a drum, and her mind went blank.

"It's burnt out." Tsuruga Ren's voice brought back Rika's rationality.

Li Xiang looked at the bare wooden stick in her hand, coughed lightly, pretended to be calm and calmly threw it into the garbage bag.

Tsuruga Lian picked up the garbage bag: "Would you like to come to my house for a cup of hot cocoa?"

It was still very cold in the autumn night, when Li Xiang thought of the sweet and mellow hot cocoa, she nodded quickly.After nodding, she realized: "When did Lian-senpai's house buy cocoa powder?" Li Xiang remembered that when he went to Tsuruga Lian's house before, there was only coffee and wine in his house, and he had never seen other drinks at all.

Tsuruga Lian said perfunctorily, "I bought it later."

Turning from the cooler outside to the warmer room, Rika couldn't help but sneezed twice.Tsuruga Ren signaled Rika to wait for him on the sofa, while she went directly to the kitchen to make cocoa.

Li Xiang thought of the exquisite sunflower brooch and the incense sticks and fireworks on the rooftop, and the corners of her mouth couldn't stop smiling.Maybe it's because my mind is over, my body is exhausted, and my upper and lower eyelids start to fight.

When Tsuruga Lian came out with hot cocoa, Li Xiang had already fallen asleep on the sofa, with a slight smile on her lips.

Tsuruga Lian did not wake up Lixiang, but put the hot cocoa on the tea table casually, squatted slightly, and watched Lixiang's lovely sleeping face.Tsuruga Lian's eyes gradually deepened, and she involuntarily wiped Rika's cherry-colored lips with her thumb, and said to herself, "What a defenseless child." Then, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
