15 years in business

Three years later.

Japan, Saitama Prefecture, Okegawa City, Asahi [-]-chome.

"Be careful."

Lu Zhan supported Nina Chuan and slowly moved out of the house, while Xue Xing stood in the back with a nervous expression.

Suddenly, a bluffing red phantom appeared from the side: "Uncle! I'm coming!"

"Hold!"

Lu Zhan and Xue Xing took a step back at the same time, the red phantom began to slow down, and finally turned back into a soft entity, giggling and throwing itself into Ninagawa's arms.

Ninagawa silently caught the little girl, knelt down and hugged her into her arms.

Lu Zhan squeezed the little girl's face, and taught her in an annoyed way in Japanese: "Slow down, what if I bump into your father?"

The little girl replied to him in Chinese with a smile on her face: "You should start with your Japanese book."

"Who did you learn this from?" Lu Zhan couldn't laugh or cry, and took the child from Ninagawa.

The little girl leaned on Lu Zhan's shoulder, never idle for a moment, and threw a big wink and a kiss to Xue Xing.

Xue Xing was amused by her: "Why are you so obedient today?"

The little girl rolled her eyes: "I'm hungry, I want to eat chocolate."

There's a reason for being so nice.

Lu Zhan sternly said: "There is no chocolate at home, eat when you are hungry."

The little girl was in a hurry: "I said yes!"

Lu Zhan: "No!"

"Yesterday morning I went to the supermarket..." Ninagawa said softly, interrupting the meaningless argument between the senior and the junior.

"I took a box when I saw it was on sale. She read it to me for a long time, let's give it to her."

Lu Zhan: "This...then you still go out?"

"Forget it." Ninagawa turned around and went back to the house, "I'm not interested either, I just want to sleep."

After finally doing ideological work for a long time, it was for nothing again.Lu Zhan and Xue Xing looked at each other, and helplessly took the child to follow.

Three years ago, Ninagawa gave birth to a baby girl in Japan. After waking up, he was in a very poor state of mind. He was drowsy most of the time every day. Mother tongue, took a lot of medicine, the incision on the stomach is slowly healing, but the wound on the heart shows no signs of improvement.

Ninagawa seemed to have turned back to the him he was when he was a child, silent, sensitive, and occasionally nervous, hiding in his own shell with bruises all over his body, and a little touch from the outside world was tantamount to destruction for him.

Fortunately, his friends did not give up on him. All members of SAUDADE have lived the past three years like water in a sponge. They just kept it from fans and managers, and flew to Japan again and again in rotation. The four people have the same intentions. Yes, since love is hopeless, try to make up for it in terms of friendship, even if the effect is minimal - Ninagawa doesn't recognize anyone when she gets sick, she just repeats the name mechanically.

Xia Zhi jumped up and down with Ninagawa to the refrigerator to get chocolates. The kitchen at home was open, and Lu Zhan and Xue Xing sat in the living room, watching the father and daughter talking and laughing.

Lu Zhan stretched comfortably, and put his legs on Xue Xing's body: "Thank God, your niece has never had any problems, otherwise the older one would go crazy and the younger one would get sick, and it would be fatal."

"Yes, this girl is as strong as a cow." Xue Xing pressed his calf familiarly.

Lu Zhan scolded with a smile: "She is a girl, how can I use a cow to describe a girl."

Natsue Ninagawa heard them talking, and sucked chocolate into the living room like a gust of wind: "I'm not a girl, I'm a fairy! A fairy!!"

Xue Xing laughed loudly, and pushed the little fairy to sit beside him: "Okay, okay, we all listen to you."

Lu Zhan sighed: "You dote on her too much."

"I'm her brother-in-law, who do I not spoil?" Xue Xing squeezed Xia Zhi's face, "Hey, Lu Zhan, have you noticed that the girl looks more and more like..."

The smile on Lu Zhan's face suddenly disappeared.

Xia Zhi looks like Li Yu, anyone can tell.

When Ninagawa gave birth to her, she said that if she was a girl, she hoped to be more like Li Yu, because being like him would be a disadvantage.

Now, this prophecy, whether it be a blessing or a curse, has been fulfilled.

Ningagawa made three cups of tea in the kitchen, and when they brought them to the living room, she happened to hear Xue Xing and Lu Zhan discussing the child's appearance.

Xia Zhi rushed over and hugged his leg: "Dad!!"

Ningagawa couldn't stand still, and was suddenly jumped by the little girl, his body trembled, and the hot tea in the cup spilled on the back of his hand.

"Hey, I'm here." Ninagawa turned pale and forced a smile to the child.

Lu Zhan quickly came forward to rescue him: "Xue Xing is mentally ill, please ignore him."

"It doesn't matter." Ninagawa put down the tea, covered the back of his scalded hand, "I'll go take a cold bath, and you continue talking."

Lu Zhan sat back on the sofa, and nodded Xue Xing vigorously from the air: "It's not enough to succeed, it's more than failure!"

Xue Xing held his hand: "Sooner or later, you have to say this, Lu Zhan, we are now running between China and Japan, and we have been photographed more than once. What are you going to do?"

Lu Zhan pushed back angrily: "What else can I do? If you can't hide it, just lie. As long as there is no real hammer, I will not admit it if I am killed."

"But if this continues, I'm afraid that sooner or later..." Xue Xing frowned and hesitated to speak.

"Xue Xing, let me tell you, it's not just you. When you go back and talk to the fourth and fifth, you all shut your mouth tightly, and you are not allowed to leak a word."

Lu Zhan became emotional: "Look at what the third child was like before, and look at what he looks like now, he is so thin that he has no human figure, he doesn't take up any energy, and he has a child by his side, what will fans think when they see it? What will the media say?"

He saw through it very early on that truth is the biggest taboo in this profession.Eyebrows are painted, singing and dancing are rehearsed, selling rot needs to be measured, and even sadness must be as decent as "Fairy Tears".

The duty of an idol is to create a dream for fans, and there must be no violence, blood, tears, or old age in this dream.

So Lu Zhan is determined to keep this secret until the end.

Xue Xing felt that he didn't understand what he meant, so he could only expressly said: "I think...his heart knot has not been untied, it will never get better, and we are so busy, why don't you let him come..."

Over the years, Mu Zhi has been raised by Li Yu, Xia Zhi has been raised by Xue Xing, and the two brothers have one on each side, which is pretty average. Li Yu has approached Xue Xing more than once in private, wanting to reconcile the old relationship with Ninagawa, but with Ninagawa's attitude, Xue Xing has always He didn't dare to agree, but as Li Yu came to him more and more frequently, Xue Xing felt that he was going to be overwhelmed.

Lu Zhan's face changed when he heard it: "You are dreaming!"

Xue Xing: "No, listen to me first..."

"What the hell, do you still think the third child's health is not bad enough? You almost lost your life to that bastard, you have to force him to death to be reconciled, right?!", Lu Zhan was furious.

Xue Xing smiled bitterly at him: "No! How could I know that, oh, forget it, I won't talk about it, can you not get angry?"

His three plywood is simply too aggrieved.

Reluctantly, Lu Zhan leaned on Xue Xing's shoulder, closed his eyes and said in a low voice, "Instead of going around that old bastard every day, why don't you think about our affairs."

Xue Xing was taken aback for a moment, and then became ecstatic: "You... you finally agreed to me?!"

"It's been so many years, can't you see it? Stupid." Lu Zhan pushed his head against his shoulder.

Xue Xing immediately threw Li Yu's mess out of the blue, and repeatedly agreed: "Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes..."

Lu Zhan smiled and said, "Before that, I want to see you again."

"Meet the parents? But my mother is long gone..." Xue Xing looked distressed.

"Don't be afraid." Lu Zhan buried his head on Xue Xing's chest, took a deep breath, "I know someone, and she has a way."

Houses in Japan have thin walls and poor sound insulation. Xue Xing and Lu Zhan are flirting with each other, and Ningagawa can hear them clearly in the bathroom.

He turned off the tap, curled up by the sink, covered his mouth to keep himself from crying

Ninagawa struggled for a while, but the sadness in his chest was getting stronger and stronger. He let out a breath, stood up and staggered into the bathtub, took a brand new blade from the window sill, and stabbed the inside of his arm fiercely.

The blade cut through the whitish scar on the skin, and blood gushed out. Ninagawa turned on the shower and rinsed the wound with warm water. After being stimulated by the pain repeatedly, he felt a little better, lying in the bathtub like a dying person gasp.

Lu Zhan hadn't seen Ninagawa hysterical for a long time. He thought that Ninagawa was slowly getting better as time went by, but he didn't know that he just chose another way to vent his sadness.

The blood flowed for a while, and slowly showed signs of congealing. Ninagawa wiped away her tears, and was about to find gauze to bandage, when she suddenly saw Xia Zhi standing at the door of the bathroom.

The bathroom is divided into two parts, the inside and the outside, separated by a plastic sliding door. The outside is the washbasin and a cabinet for underwear, and the inside is the shower and bathtub. Ninagawa was startled, and quickly jumped out of the bathtub to check whether the door on the outside is okay.

Xia Zhi looked at him in confusion, "Dad..."

Ningagawa locked the door, turned around and hugged Xia Zhi, tremblingly said: "You must not let uncle know what happened just now, did you hear me?"

"Blood, it hurts." Xia Zhi touched his arm and pouted.

Ninagawa smiled and shook her head: "I'm fine."

"It's something! Don't say it's nothing!!", Xia Zhi imitated the adults and put her hands on her hips.

After all, the little girl was born in Japan, and she already speaks Japanese well enough. As for Chinese, she is a bit weaker, and I don’t know who she learned from. The demeanor of a mysterious domineering president.

Xia Zhi arched to Ninagawa's side, and gently blew on the wound: "Huhu."

Overbearing is overbearing, but the girl is still caring.Ninagawa touched her braid: "It's okay, it won't hurt after a while."

When Xia Zhi lowered her head, her eyes looked extraordinarily deep. She was only three years old, and the features of her high nose bridge and deep eye sockets were already obvious. He himself couldn't deny that Xia Zhi looked a lot like Li Yu.

Xia Zhi realized that Ninagawa was peeking at her, crawled into Ninagawa's arms, held his face, looked straight into his eyes and said loudly: "Don't peek, look like this!"

"Baby looks like daddy." Ninagawa couldn't help laughing, and shaved her pink face.

Xia Zhi shook her head: "It's not like that."

Ningagawa hugged the child, and said softly against her face, "It's not me, it's another father."

Xia Zhi sucked her finger, tilted her head and thought for a while: "The bad one?"

Ninagawa patted her head: "Did uncle tell you?"

"Yeah." Xia Zhi rolled over in Ninagawa's arms, blinking her big watery eyes, "That father is a beast."

At the age when ordinary children use "bad guy" to describe everyone they don't like, Natsue Ninagawa has started to use advanced vocabulary like "beast", which is probably taught by Lu Zhan.

The child was right, Ninagawa felt helpless and didn't want to correct her, rubbing Xia Zhi's little head with complicated emotions: "Then if Dad wants to see him, will the baby go with me?"

"Go!" Xia Zhi agreed without thinking.

She stood upright in front of Ninagawa, her eyes widened, and she emphasized loudly: "I want to protect you!"
