[Tokyo Ghoul] Tea Coffee Companion

On the eve of the start of the sophomore year, the crew of "Reverse Life" officially started filming.

Strictly speaking, excluding the memory of her "self" in this world, apart from accepting a physical advertisement last month, this is the first time that Xiangba Chacha has participated in a formal film and television production.

What's more, it's a big-budget movie.

After dealing with all kinds of chores and reviewing the skills in her memory such as memorizing scripts, setting up models, station positions, etc. in a week, Xiang Ye Chacha walked into the crew of "Reverse Life" with a feeling of apprehension.

——A huge figure approached.

Aiba Chacha stood there blankly, letting the lump of flesh growl, but unexpectedly... the soft-moving creature raised and lowered its hands on itself:

"Oh, oh, it's really Xue Ji who can't be more like it! My lord, please let me kiss your hand and stroke your hair!"

"……"what happened.

A full minute later, the other party let go of her with tears full of enthusiasm, took a deep breath, and cleared his throat: "You are Aiba-san, right? It’s director Kurosaki, please give me your advice.”

Aiba Chacha: "Ah... Please give me more advice."

So who can tell her what happened?

Looking at the usual expressions of the onlookers behind the director, Xiangba Chacha suddenly wondered if she had gone to the wrong place.

Kurosaki Noriko, the eldest daughter of the famous director Ushio Kurosaki.Inheriting his father's outstanding talent in directing, at the age of 25, he established his position in the show business circle with "Red の Tide".This year, he is 28 years old. After taking over the filming of the movie "Reverse Life", he once again attracted a lot of attention.

However... Xiangye Chacha looked at the woman in front of her, who seemed to weigh more than 150 catties and was about the same size as her, and she deeply understood the truth that people should not be judged by their appearance.

……

……

"Cut! Very good, pass this one, prepare for the next one!"

Xiangba Chacha got up from the grass and adjusted the somewhat cumbersome twelve single hems.An assistant next to her ran up and handed her a bottle of water.

"Thank you." Taking two sips carefully through the straw - this is to avoid staining the lipstick - Aiba Chacha thanked softly, and heard the director shouting, "Aiba takes a rest for 5 minutes, and then proceed to the 23rd scene shooting!"

"No problem!" she replied.

This is half a month after Xiangye Chacha joined the crew, and the filming of her role has already been mostly done.

After all, "Reverse Life" is not a love work, but a story about light, shadow and time.As the second female lead, Aiba Chacha doesn't have too many scenes.

The story begins in an obliterated era, a city lord who was over fifty years old killed a new young maid beside him.

The life of the city lord is smooth and safe, with occasional small twists and turns.The husband and wife are harmonious, there are many children, and there are not many incidents under the rule.

But he felt dissatisfied.

"If you regain your youth, you will definitely do better than now..." He thought so more than once, and unlike those high-ranking people who pursue longevity, the city lord knows how impossible it is to reverse time.

Because of this sobriety, the city lord felt double the pain.Until his 50th birthday, the maid who combed his hair was dismissed because of a mistake and was replaced by a young girl of seventeen or eighteen.

That is also the most "youthful" girl that the city lord has ever seen in his memory.

Then, he killed her.

After the banquet, the excitement and celebration during the day were replaced by the loneliness and coldness of the night.Since Fa's wife passed away last year, the city lord has felt more lonely than before.

Until the sound of light footsteps reached the ears, it was the sound of petite feet stepping on the soft couch.And which maid who ate the courage of the ambitious leopard?The city lord frowned and thought, turned over and sat up, and was about to scold the other party——

His mouth was gently covered by a soft and boneless hand with a faint fragrance.

"Hush—" The girl's brows were soft and gentle, and her bent eyes seemed to be staring at a child who was arguing.Her voice is soft and soft, but like her fair and beautiful face, there is a kind of exuberant and full-bodied vitality between the syllables: "Your Highness, would you like to use the remaining 50 years of your life in exchange for A 50-year counter-current—opportunity?"

"Cut!"

Hearing Kurosaki Noriko's angry shout, Aiba Chacha heaved a sigh of relief, and let go of her hand covering the opponent's mouth: "Senior Matsuyama, I offended you."

"It's just necessary for filming, and Aiba performed very well." Matsuyama is an old-timer in the industry, and his acting skills are extremely superb.In "Reverse Life", he played the city lord in his old age.

"Aiba can rest now, recover his energy, and go all out to prepare for the shooting at night."

"Yes."

Hearing the director's emphasis on the word "go all out", Xiangba Chacha hurriedly responded.

She sat down in the rest area, opened her script, and read it again.

During the two weeks of filming, the script was already a little old by her, and the corners of the pages were fluffed up. The scene shooting of "Reverse Life" does not follow the plot, and will be greatly adjusted according to the time and environment of the actors.

The role played by Xiangba Chacha has only a very vague title in the play: Xue Ji.

Her plot is concentrated in two places, which are the beginning and the middle of the whole play.

It started with the maid who was killed by the city lord to vent her anger, and on the night of the maid's death and the city lord's birthday, a mysterious girl who was exactly the same as the dead maid.

The girl appeared in front of the city lord's couch and asked him if he dared to exchange the remaining 50 years of his life for a chance to go against the current for 50 years?

The city lord finally agreed, even if it was just a joke, or there was some other conspiracy, he still hoped to feel the energetic and youthful self again.

The girl nodded, and then disappeared.

The next morning, the castellan opened his eyes and found that time had gone backwards.

——Go back to the day before his 50th birthday.

The meaning of "50 years against the current" was not understood until a few days later by the city lord.

It's not about returning to childhood overnight, or getting younger every day.But the real "countercurrent".Every morning when he wakes up, he will find that time has gone back one day, and for him, what happened the day before has become a "future" thing at this time.

Bizarre, eerie, uncanny.

The city owner felt joyful at first, especially on the day when he saw his dead wife again. He almost thought that he was blessed by the gods.However, as time passed and the time faded away, he felt the pain again.

——Everything that happened the day before, all the efforts he made, will be completely overthrown with the arrival of the new day "past".

In other words, everything he did at this time was based on the established past.

25 years have passed like this, and the city lord has gradually changed.Because of resentment, because of countless failed struggles, and because of indulgence and drifting with the crowd day after day.Although his appearance is getting younger and younger, a kind of dejection that a dying person has gradually enveloped him.

Until his 25th birthday, he met a girl in the cherry blossom forest outside the castle.

The girl is called Xue Ji.

She sat under a tree, and the snow-white cherry blossoms filled the sky like rain.Her skin is as soft as the first flower bud in early spring, and she is wearing apricot-yellow Twelve singles, smiling towards the sky.

It was exactly the same as the innocent maid he killed 25 years ago, and the girl who asked him if he would like to exchange years.

The city lord couldn't help approaching her, and after a long period of self-exile and depravity, he once again had the urge to regain a new life.Just like the old man at the age of 50, he was deeply attracted by the vigor and vitality of the girl, but when he saw his old face in the mirror, he lost his mind in an instant.

When he woke up, the weak and delicate flower had already died in his hands, dripping with blood.

"It's okay this time," the city lord told himself, "You now have a young body, full of vigor and vitality. Everything has just unfolded in front of you. As long as you are willing, you can win anything you want."

During the long entanglement for a whole year, the city lord approached Xue Ji little by little.Even though every time is "yesterday" and every day is "the past", he is still satisfied with every more obvious softening of the girl.

His wife, who was supposed to be deeply affectionate, was abandoned by him, and he only chased the beautiful Xue Ji like a madman.It wasn't until a year later, on his 24th birthday, that he finally had enough confidence to win Xue Ji's heart.

"My wife has been abandoned by me, and the wedding banquet is entirely up to you. As long as you are willing to nod, I am willing to put all the fiefs under your feet."

The castellan looked at her like a drowning man leaping at driftwood, or a dying traveler in the desert looking at an oasis.It's like looking at the biggest obsession and desire in my life, as long as the other party nods, even if I close my eyes and die at this moment, I will have no regrets.

The girl looked at him, and finally smiled.

Like the soft smile that I saw for the first time a year ago, the blurred afterimages of the sky and clouds reflected in the pupils.

"But your eyes are already rotten," she said softly and tenderly, "how can I marry someone who is very old and almost rotten?"

The author has something to say: Xueji...hahaha I never dared to use this word since I got rid of the second year of middle school
