Double AS

With a nail in his mouth, Aomine Daiki took a few steps back, squinted one eye, framed his hands, repeatedly checking his position and height.Finally he raised his hand and began to pin the hoop against the backyard wall.

The winter morning was very cold, white smoke exhaled from his mouth and nose, and then slowly spread.

The two nephews poked their heads out of the window secretly, looking at the uncle who was desperately beating in the backyard early in the morning.

"Your mother has gone out." Qingfeng found two nephews peeping at him on the second floor, without looking back.

Then the two children immediately ran downstairs with joyful expressions on their faces.

"How can I play so well?" asked seven-year-old Aomine Sho. "Uh...just keep hitting."

"Then how can you be so accurate?" Seven-year-old Aomine Yang asked. "Hey...just by feeling."

"Uncle, it's the same as not saying what you said~!"

The uncle and nephew mingled together in the backyard.

"Hey, throw the ball as soon as you get it, or don't blame me for copying it!" "Uncle, you are an adult, what will happen if you let the water go!" ─” With one palm, he directly copied the nephew’s ball back.

The two little guys rushed forward at the same time, stretched their arms, and jumped desperately to snatch the ball back from the 195-foot-tall uncle.

Natsuko, the eldest daughter of the Aomine family and mother of twins, has just returned from the morning market.

Before entering the door, he heard the sound of his sons laughing with his younger brother Dahui in the backyard.

"Are they playing?" Xia Zi narrowed his eyes, put down the shopping bag in his hand, turned around and was about to walk to the backyard.

"Wait, wait, wait! Mother of the child! Xiang and Yang have finished their homework and the school's preview! So let them play..." Husband Xiuzhi hurriedly stopped his temper and was also a wife who ate explosives.Xia Zi is very strict about his children's studies, and even his father can't help but sympathize with his two sons sometimes.

"You think I'm going to scold them?" Xia Zi gave her husband a hard look, "What I want to ask is, why did Dahui come back?"

Didn't you just come back last weekend?Why did you come back this week.

"Huh? I thought Mom told you that Dahui promised to come back after graduation." Then he would try his best to come back to help the family whenever he was free during holidays.

Aomine Natsuko turned her head in surprise.

I was speechless for a long time.

"..." looked at her husband in disbelief, then turned her head to look at Aomine Daiki who was pushing into a ball with her son in the backyard.

did not speak.

"I thought you would be very happy, Natsuko."

Xiuzhi looked at his wife's expression and said.

"...He should have done this a long time ago." Natsuko Aomine turned her head away and closed her eyes.

Kise Ryota was sitting in the office of the office.

He didn't come in for more than a month, and he almost forgot the feeling here.Suffocating feeling.

"Yeah~ that's great~ thanks to this movie~ people started talking about the next movie before it was released." Recently, the promotion of Feather Lovers has started, with the popular actress Kamiya Sakura, Kise's worth will definitely be high Get fired even higher?President Wan Taro smiled and wrote Kise's name on the calendar on the whiteboard.

"Wait, wait a minute," Kise interrupted the president hastily. "Instead of being so anxious to take over the next stage, I think I should go to an actor training class first..." Sakura went to Shikoku, and he couldn't always expect her to lead him to act.

"Why bother! Anyway, as long as it is the role played by Ryota-kun, those fangirls will obediently pay the bill──The opportunity waits for no one; don't worry, I won't take more for you, just one episode is fine. The time spent on filming It’s too long, and the pay is low. Ryota-kun’s salary as a model is much higher than that of you as an actor, and acting is just a way to increase your popularity and raise your price.” After all, Kise is still a rookie as an actor , but as a model, she is a first-line supermodel.Prices vary widely.

Hoseok was silent.

ah ah

It turns out...

The firm didn't intend to cultivate him at all.

President Wan Wu continued to speak. "Recently, the firm has signed a group of newcomers, and everyone is clamoring for Miyuki to be her manager—they all want to be the second Kise Ryota. You can also see how busy Miyuki is recently, so some relatively unimportant schedules She can't follow you around anymore. But the office will give you an assistant directly, congratulations, Ryota, you have finally been promoted to the rank of assistant, and you are now an official artist."

Just treat him as a cash cow, shake him a few more times while he is still popular, and squeeze out the last drop of oil and water from his body while there are still people who want to see him.

Then kick him aside when someone younger can replace him.

Anyway, there are many people who dream of being a star, and he is not the only one.

If he can win one Kise Ryota, he can win another.

The meaning couldn't be more obvious.

Kise blinked dryly, and shifted his gaze elsewhere.

My heart is complicated and I have mixed feelings.

Nakatani Miyuki stood beside him, silently without speaking.

"Tomorrow, I will shoot your promotional video, Feather Lover, the opening of the fashion show on Monday and Tuesday, I will give you a breather on Wednesday, I will knock on Thursday and Friday, and Saturday──" the president said while detailing Kise's work schedule Pen writes on whiteboard.

"──Wait! Didn't I say that I have a game on Saturday? Why did I schedule work!" Kise raised his head suddenly.Didn't he tell the firm many months ago that he would never schedule work on this day!

"No one informed me that Ryota has a job this weekend, President." Nakatani Miyuki was also stunned.

"You are now an official artist, not the half-toned student model you used to be. Of course, work is the most important thing!"

Huang Seto looked at him, and he was completely stunned.

"President, didn't we agree at the beginning that Ryota will continue to play..." Manager Nakatani stepped forward immediately.This is different from what they said at the beginning.

"Will playing basketball make him more popular? Will playing basketball increase his income? Neither. An artist's time and youth are precious, and every second should not be wasted──Maybe Ryota won't be popular tomorrow , How can we not seize the opportunity on the waves now.”

"Let me play. Let me go to the game." Kise clenched his trembling fists, and he begged the president from the bottom of his heart, "In exchange... I can talk about anything..."

"You haven't replied to me about the filming of AN˙AN."

"That's going to be naked on the cover. I won't accept it!" he screamed.He finally put his clothes back on!

Nakatani Miyuki was stunned upon hearing this.Unexpectedly, the president completely bypassed her and went directly to Ryota in this matter, which violated the general procedure.

"President, AN˙AN's request for Ryota is too wide after all... If the underage Ryota is allowed to take pictures, it will also hurt the image of our office. Mr. Matsuko Hanagawa's work has already caused a wave of controversy." Nakatani Miyuki tried hard to convince her president.

"Haha... Miyuki, you really love Ryota... No wonder everyone is rushing to be your artist." He said so, but the president looked at her with cold eyes.

Then, President Mantou nodded, as if he had decided on something after consideration.

"Okay. I promise you, I will help you reject AN˙AN. After all, you want to be the leading actor in pure love movies, and such a provocative job is really not suitable..." He smiled kindly at his little supermodel road.

"Thank you, President..." Kise breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ryota-kun also said just now, as long as I let you go to the competition in exchange... you can accept any job, ah, you should accept jobs other than adult magazines. And I also showed my sincerity──"

President, Wan Tae Daikai said.

"─GK has named you for this year's endorsement in Japan, are you willing to take it off again?"

Hit the forehead hard.

Kise Ryota was lying in Nakatani Miyuki's spacious office.

He curled up on the velvet three-seater sofa and didn't speak for a long time.

"I'm sorry." Sister Zhonggu sat beside him silently.

"That's not Miyuki's fault." Kise said, "You also live on the president's salary."

He was wearing a black fitted wool sweater, cashmere wool.A long silver chain around the neck hangs down on the sofa.Kise wrapped his arms around himself.His head has been aching from just now.

"...I'm just a little bit cold. They never even think about me—anything."

Have they forgotten what happened to him?Still don't care at all.

Although Master Mikami is dead.And the shooting this time is GK, not the sub-brand of the year, but in such a similar environment...

The old wound that had finally scabbed was dug open.

Kise curled up on the sofa, hugging herself tightly.Close your eyes deeply.

"I will definitely follow this shoot, don't worry. This time it won't be the same as last time." Manager Nakatani said in a low voice.

Kise didn't respond, not even nodding.

His temples throbbed wildly, his stomach turned upside down.

He has already turned down the filming of AN˙AN, and he has to accept the job of GK—this is the limit of his willfulness.

The meaning of the president is obvious - if you don't accept the job, you can't compete.

If you can't play.

Then I can't abide by the agreement with Xiao Qingfeng.

They have already decided that they will treat him so cruelly in the future.

Then at least this promise must be fulfilled──

At least in the future, at least he still has those three years of dominance in Xiaoqingfeng's memories──

He made an appointment with Xiao Qingfeng.

This is also the reason why he came to Tonghuang.

headache.

It hurts.

It hurt so bad it was about to explode.

──He is trying so hard to put on his clothes, trying so hard to let people see his inner self.

──But the firm didn't let him go.

"Those who have come to you can't let you go just once."

Sakura's words are especially in my ears.

"The contract expires in more than a year. At that time, you can escape from Japan." She could feel the pain in Ryota's heart.Manager Nakatani said in a low voice.Fortunately, she has an independent office, so she doesn't have to worry about these words being heard by others.

The office is full of people.

There are many people, and the mouth is "mixed".

"They didn't ask you to talk to me about renewing the contract?" Kise said.

"Yes, but not now. They feel that you have won the prize recently, and they are afraid that you will speak up about the renewal of the golden lion." The reason why the president did that just now was to get rid of Ryota's spirit.They are a large firm with thousands of people under their umbrella, and they have countless celebrity models. It is impossible for them to be blackmailed by this 17-year-old kid.

The president asked him to recognize his weakness.

"...I'm sorry. Xiao Meixue has cultivated me until now, but I just left. I'm really sorry." But if you don't leave here, it's only a matter of time before such a nightmare returns.

He's red, he's won.But he still doesn't have the ability to fight against the company.

It's like Sakura doesn't have the ability to fight her mother.

There is no other way to be free except to walk—

"Compared to that, I want to know what your plan is when you go abroad? Are you planning to go alone?" Miyuki Nakatani was smoking.She knew that Ryota asked her to take care of Mazi-senpai at that time, probably because she wanted to leave alone.

"Hmm..." Kise said in a low voice, there are too many variables in going abroad, and he can't take his mother to take risks together.

"Originally, I wanted to sign a contract with a foreign modeling agency, but after I went abroad a few times... saw those things... escaped from this circle, but fell into another dyeing vat..."

The foreign modeling circle is also morbid and deep, and in order to win a little bit of male model work, I am afraid that I have to sell my body, right?

Either way, the outcome is the same.

"Want to change careers?" Nakatani asked.

"I don't have the courage to start over. I can't find the direction." Even if he wants to act, at his level, he left Japan.Without the aura of supermodel, it is impossible for him to get the role.

This is a very realistic, but it is indeed a matter of fact.

Dignity cannot be sustained when survival is at issue.

Nakatani nodded.she understands.

"...Think about it. When I decided to quit modeling and become an agent, I thought about it and struggled for a long time. But whether you choose to leave or stay, I don't think you have betrayed me." She held her hand Put it on Ryota's forehead.

"─As long as you haven't been polluted by this circle, it's not a violation of my teaching." Nakatani Miyuki said to her most proud apprentice.

"Without Miyuki...I really don't know what to do..." Kise closed her eyes.He said it sincerely.

"You are a sissy. You have reached the age to be independent. You will graduate next year." It is impossible for her to protect him for the rest of her life.Only when people learn to be strong can they truly prevent themselves from getting hurt.

That's why his life direction is completely different from Xiao Qingfeng's.

What Xiaoqingfeng is facing is a bright and brilliant future—what he likes to do, what he wants to do.

But he has to struggle hard, try his best not to let himself sink...

This alone has exhausted him...
