[Comprehensive] peach blossom period
Chapter 23 Press Conference
[1]
"What do you mean?"
"It means literally." Midorima looked at Kasumi from top to bottom with a look of caring for the disadvantaged, "My country graduated from Teiko Middle School, and your mother Kazawa Ami is my private piano teacher. teacher, and also my mother's friend."
"I'm sorry, Doctor Midorima, since you already know that the person I'm going on a blind date with is me, why didn't you just refuse?" Kasumi asked sincerely.
"You talk a little too much, tsk." Lu Jian turned his head away, "That restaurant will have a lot of customers at night, so let's go there first without further ado."
She responded, and followed Midorima out of the optical shop. For some reason, Kasumi Kasumi breathed a sigh of relief after learning that the blind date was actually Shintaro Midorima.
At least it is a familiar person, although the number of times she meets and the chance to speak is very few, but it is much better than the blind date she imagined before.
Thinking of this, Kasumi trotted after Midorima in front of him. Midorima seemed to realize the distance between the two people's height and pace, so he stood in place and patiently waited for Kasumi to come to him before moving forward with her.
She was about as tall as his chest, and when he looked down, he could only see the top of his head with curled hair.
"If I had known it was you, I wouldn't have dressed like this." Xiangcheng pulled off her tie a little depressed. She always likes to wear short skirts or shorts, but suddenly she changed into a more formal A-line skirt, and her feet were not at all. The wide-heeled leather shoes that show off her height are also very awkward to walk on. She began to miss her pair of stiletto suede high-heeled shoes.
Ling Kasumi didn't expect that Midorima only paused for a few seconds before reaching out to her.
"Ok?"
"Hurry up, I don't want to be late."
Midorima's voice was undoubtedly calm, but he was able to make such a rare move, maybe it was deliberately maintaining his usual calm.
Kasumi put her hand on his.
This shop is a new French restaurant that entered half a year ago. It is on the highest floor of the building. When the door opened, there were already many people standing at the door of the shop, as Midorima said.The deliberately polished floor-to-ceiling glass also reflects the slowly entering the dark Tokyo outside the window, and the flickering neon lights can't wait to light up, adding a different flavor to the dining atmosphere of the restaurant.
Most of the men and women eating in the restaurant were also wearing beautiful clothes, smiling softly, while holding long-handled knives and forks, they gracefully chopped up the food on the plate and sent it to their mouths.
After the waiter led the two of them to the seats by the window, he handed over the menu respectfully and politely. Out of gentlemanly principles, Midorima handed over the menu to her, indicating that she would take the order.
She couldn't figure out Midorima's preferences, so she had to follow the waiter's recommendation to choose the most standard dishes that wouldn't go wrong. While waiting for the dishes to be served, Kasumi put her hands on her knees, closed her eyes and tried hard to recall the dining etiquette of French cuisine, She didn't have many opportunities to eat this kind of meal, relying only on vague memory, when the appetizer cream soup of clams was served, she trembled, her manner was stiff, and her face was embarrassed.
"Let's try the wine first." Midorima interrupted her in time, and signaled to the waiter to fill up two glasses. The waiter was setting out snacks. Hearing Midorima's words, he glanced suspiciously at Kasumi who was holding a knife and fork. , then opened the wine on the table, saluted politely, and left first under Midorima's eyes.
After losing the attention of the waiter, Kasumi also became more relaxed. She picked up the wine glass, and the first time she took a sip, the rich and mellow wine made her involuntarily exhale, "Hey, the wine here tastes pretty good."
"Haven't you been here before?" Midorima asked, Kasumi looked at him, I don't know if it's because Midorima didn't wear the doctor's white coat today, the feeling Midorima gave her was not the same as the last time we met no the same.
The first time we met was that strange encounter. I met him on the side of the road who was going to attend an academic conference. He was dressed in a smart shirt and coat. He was calm and rational when he was carrying out rescue activities at the scene of a car accident.
And the second meeting is today.
Midorima changed into a warm-toned vertically striped shirt, which looked better than the unfriendly gray shirt last time. Kasumi noticed that on his perfectly shaped fingers, there were still tied Bandages, wrists up, and a black wrist watch hidden under the sleeves, other than that, there are no other decorations.
In the TV station where Kasumi works, most of the men I met at work are more accustomed to using more small accessories, such as tail rings, earrings, rings, etc., to bring out the more distinctive characteristics of the industry in which they are engaged. Dressed brightly, Midorima's low-key and calm attire is very unfamiliar to Kasumi, but it is very useful.
The crimson liquid in the cup was already approaching the bottom of the cup. Midorima, who was not fond of talking, hadn't spoken since she sat down. Too cold, after thinking about it, Kasumi took the initiative to talk to Midorima before the food was served: "Do you often go on blind dates? I mean, it seems that you are very skilled in such things as high-end restaurants."
"Occasionally, not often." Luma closed his eyes and shook his head, "I mean coming here for dinner, not a blind date. For me, meeting you is the first time."
"It's not the first time for me."
"Is there anyone else besides me?" Midorima seemed to be a little interested, and an imperceptible emotion flashed in the dumb green eyes.
"If I say that my mother often arranges this for me, you won't believe me." She folded up the cuffs of her shirt, revealing a wrist as white as jade. It became low-key, "It's similar to the goods on the shelf. Every time I meet, I have to endure the other party's instructions on my makeup and career."
"Oh?" Midorima couldn't comment, "You are a screenwriter for a TV series, I don't think there is anything wrong with this profession, as for your clothes—"
He lowered his head and looked at her quickly, and in his mind, he recalled her outfit from the previous meeting like a movie replay.
Simple T-shirt and denim shorts, with a light-colored sweater outside, black high-heeled shoes with straps on the feet, and a long earring on the right ear on the thin shoulder, which can be described as colorful.
"I don't have too many comments, and I barely tried your best."
"Pfft." Xiangcheng laughed, and at this moment, the waiter brought the dishes to the table one by one according to their requirements. She closed her eyes and clasped her hands tightly, "I'm starting."
Ten minutes later.Luma noticed something, and asked in a low voice: "If the taste is not to your liking, let's change to another restaurant now."
Kasumi looked up, she was struggling with the salmon on the plate at this time, when she heard Midorima's question she shook her head, "I'm not used to eating too much."
Midorima is very aggressive: "For weight loss?"
"...um..." Kasumi covered her stomach with one hand without leaving a trace, not wanting the sensitive Midorima to notice her physical problems at the moment, so she could only vaguely acquiesce, but Midorima disapproved all over her face, " Even if you go on a diet, you can’t lose much weight. You don’t need to use these useless methods to maintain your figure. If you need it, I’ll teach you how to play basketball another day. Reasonable exercise is the key to losing weight, do you understand? "
"Huh?" Seeing that Midorima was frowning tightly, Kasumi couldn't refute, so she just nodded silently, Midorima glanced at her in disgust.
Well.
She endured the ups and downs in her stomach at the moment, met Midorima's eyes with difficulty, and fed something into her mouth.
[2]
As the dishes were presented one by one, the two of them had already reached the middle of the meal, but the restaurant's occupancy rate remained high, and even those seats in the center of the restaurant, which were not easy to watch the night view, were full of people.
"Kasumi? Why are you here?"
A baritone voice rang in her ears, and Kasumi raised her head in doubt. It was a black-haired man whose bangs almost covered half of his face. She felt a little familiar, but she couldn't do anything other than look at him stupidly. move.
Instead, it was Midorima who was opposite her who spoke first: "Himuro-kun, long time no see."
"Midorima-kun, it's been a long time." The man called Himuro just nodded politely. After noticing Midorima and Kasumi, Himuro's expression became stern, and he spoke to her in an unquestionable voice: "Sorry, can you come out and talk to me?"
"This..." Xiangcheng was terrified by his eyes, and just wanted to take this opportunity to avoid the painful part of eating. Before Midorima agreed, she followed the ice room to the door of the restaurant. Hesitating to speak but stopping, Xiangcheng's heart leaped to the top of her voice, and when Ice Room uttered the first words, her body froze in place.
Ice Room said, "Did you quarrel with Tiger?"
"No, no." Only then did Kasumi recall that the person in front of her was Vulcan's closest foster brother, but after she and Vulcan separated in the restaurant of the TV station because of unhappiness, they had no contact with each other. Recently, she has been busy with work, and has long forgotten the fact that she and Vulcan are actually 'pretending to be a couple'.
"Oh." Himuro looked at Kasumi struggling, thinking he had mastered her troubles, "Although Tiger usually looks carefree, he actually cares about the relatives around him, if his father has been urging him for a long time If your meeting caused you a certain amount of pressure—”
"Father?" Kasumi interrupted Himuro.
"Don't you know? His father saw the news here in Los Angeles and knew that he had a girlfriend, so he came back specially to see you."
"But, but—" Kasumi was at a loss for words, because she had only experienced being 'forced' by her mother to go on a blind date, and she never thought that such a big disturbance would be caused by being taken in by Vulcan.
Whether it's the influence of gossip magazines on him, or his family's arbitrarily high expectations on him because of his feelings...
Obviously he was just kind, but because of her, he got into so many troubles for no reason.
She wanted to pick up the phone to contact Vulcan, but in despair found that she didn't even have the contact information of Vulcan.
"Tiger is also very upset, maybe he got angry at you... But in fact, this matter has really troubled him for a long time. Before that, he suffered a lot because he liked that Yijuin. This time, I finally met you. It's still Alex, I hope you can continue walking, so Kasumi, please don't let go of Tiger's hand casually, I'm asking you very seriously."
"I..." Kasumi gritted her teeth.
The guilt in her heart has overwhelmed the original pain in her stomach. At this moment, she just wants to find Kagami immediately, including the things he is embarrassed about not being able to tell his relatives and friends. The culprit, Kasumi Kazawa, will explain everything clearly to him .
Kasumi first apologized to Himuro, then went back to the seat in the restaurant and picked up her coat and bag.
"I'm sorry." She said in a low voice, "I'm really not feeling well today. Next time we meet, I'll treat you instead."
"I'll see you off." Midorima said.
"I'm driving." She refused in a hurry, almost jogging out of the restaurant, not even noticing that the hair that was originally coiled was unknowingly loosened.
She tossed her bag and coat to the passenger seat, stepped on the gas pedal and rushed out. The air was still filled with the faint smell of alcohol that could not be detected. Why didn't he listen to Vulcan's words, he came to her specially... there must be something to tell her, right?
The scene outside the window was filled with the sound of cars. Xiangsumi stared closely at the black Bentley in front of him. After seeing that the car showed signs of accelerating slightly, he held the steering wheel tightly. Before the driver of the car could react, Has successfully surpassed the past.
[3]
It was almost ten o'clock in the evening when she arrived at the apartment building where Vulcan lived.
Feng Zao Kacheng pressed the floor number based on her previous memory, watched the red indicator light change non-stop, her hair was loose on her shoulders, and she hurriedly fixed it in front of the mirror in the elevator.
The person who opened the door was Vulcan. He stared at her in panic for a long time, and even his tone was full of surprise: "You, why are you here?"
"I..." Kasumi was at a loss for words, and just about to explain, a strange blond woman suddenly appeared behind Vulcan. She was elated when she saw Kasumi, "This is Tiger's girlfriend!"
"No, actually—" Vulcan twitched the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, "Alex, actually she—"
Alex walked around Vulcan and ushered Kasumi, who was also stunned, into the room, smiling very brightly, "I must tell Tiger your father, please rest assured, I like your girlfriend this time very much!"
"What do you like to do with him? Tell me, don't cause trouble for me! It's hard to send dad away..." Vulcan glared at Alex dissatisfiedly, then looked at Kasumi, "Well, you, eat Have you had dinner yet?"
She realized later that Vulcan was still wearing an apron that didn't match his tall figure, and there was foam on his hands and fingertips that hadn't been wiped off.
"I have already eaten."
"Oh..." Vulcan's movements stopped for a while, so he walked back to the kitchen counter with his back to her, and continued to wash the dishes: "Your suitcase is in my room. Dad came back a few days ago to give it to you." I bought a lot of things, and the other guest room couldn't fit in the stack, so I took it to my place without authorization."
Fengzao Xiangcheng was dumbfounded, she walked into Vulcan's room at the back of the corridor, the huge room still maintained the same modern decoration as the outside, there was a basketball in the corner of the room, a poster was pasted in front of Vulcan's bed, and His high school uniform was hung on the wall, and there were several photo frames in front of the bed. In a very simple room, only her box did not match the style of the room.
Kasumi dragged the box over and opened it, and in it were the clothes she brought from the previous apartment, all washed.
The door was opened behind him, and the lock made a short click.
Then there was a long silence that almost made people fall asleep as the two looked at each other.
"Last time at the restaurant..."
"Stop, stop, I won't charge you, please."
"At that time, you would go to deliver breakfast to me because your father was coming back to Tokyo."
Vulcan raised his eyebrows nervously, "Ah, yes. I know they won't believe me no matter what, so I want you to explain it for me."
"It's okay." Kasumi said.
"That, the hair?"
"Ok?"
"It seems to be longer." Vulcan pointed to her shoulder, "Ah, actually, I think long hair looks better, hey...really." Vulcan scratched her hair, "I like long hair. The one with the hair."
"Is that why Himuro-kun's bangs are so long?" Kasumi couldn't help laughing.
"What nonsense." Vulcan was also amused, and then said: "There is still some leftovers from the dinner just now. I will heat it up for you. Let's eat together."
"You haven't had enough."
Vulcan blinked his eyes, as if admitting defeat: "I originally kept it for supper, you said."
She had a stomachache and couldn't eat any food. All she could do was watch Vulcan finish eating and then wash up the rest of the dishes with him.
She looked at her hands covered in dishwashing liquid foam and took a deep breath. The long hair that was still on her shoulders unconsciously slid to her eyes with her movements. Kasumi raised her arms to push the annoying hair back behind her ears. Vulcan was faster than her, stretched out his hand to sweep across her brow, Kasumi closed his eyes reflexively, but didn't dodge, Vulcan's fingers brushed away the fine hair stuck to her face for her, and after that, it was as if nothing happened. It didn't happen and returned to the original position.
Alex, who was watching silently, said that he was fed a mouthful of dog food, so that after Vulcan and Kasumi finished washing the dishes, Alex had quietly returned to his room and couldn't wait to tell the incident to another ice room who liked to hear about it.
"Alex! You open the door, let the wind go early...Kasumi is sleeping with you today, you can't let her drive home so late!"
"Aren't you a couple? Why don't you sleep in one room, Tiger?"
Kasumi tried to communicate with Alex again, but the latter didn't know whether he was really asleep or didn't open the door at all. Kagami was annoyed, and finally he could only look at Kasumi, "I'll just drive you back."
"Do you have a driver's license?"
"Hmm...? Does a Chicago driver's license count?"
"Forget it, I'll just drive back by myself." Kasumi didn't care that it was eleven o'clock, she tried to reassure Kagami.
"How is it possible, there will be problems going back so late!" Vulcan said solemnly, "You go to my room, I'll go to the sofa... Oh no, I forgot that Alex took the last quilt away."
"Don't bother...I'll go back by myself."
"No, I won't let you go, you go to my room with me, let's sleep together."
"Ah...?" Kasumi's face suddenly turned red, and she waved her hands quickly, "No, no, no, I, I, I, I, I, I, I sleep very poorly, I'll just go to the sofa or the room where your father slept."
"Let me tell you, there is no extra quilt, so to speak. Besides, as long as you don't fall out of bed, it will be fine soon?"
Vulcan, who was belatedly aware of it, came to his senses after uttering the word that was enough to make people daydream. He faltered, looking very coy, "I, I'm going to the sofa in the living room."
After discussing this issue over and over again for a long time, until the clock has slowly reached 11:30, Kasumi thought that she had not slept in the same bed with another man before, bit her lower lip, and stopped the fire. God's clothes hem, "It's okay, I won't do anything to you, just, let's sleep together."
Vulcan also blushed, and finally took out all his clothes from the closet and separated them on the bed, which was not too big. At the end, he added, "I also have a bad sleeping posture. I snatched your quilt in the middle of the night, and you kicked me off the bed."
[4]
At six o'clock in the morning, Kasumi returned to the TV station, lying on her desk, she looked like a panda in the mirror, especially the black eyeshadow circle around her eye sockets, even her eyes were bloodshot.
The situation last night was quite embarrassing. Although Xiangcheng usually likes to move around when sleeping, he is basically a good child sleeping in bed, but Vulcan is completely different. Maybe he is used to the life of sleeping alone. They kept kicking the quilt, moving around restlessly, but he was still in a deep sleep, the movements of kicking the quilt and turning over were completely instinctive, so Kasumi kicked him almost non-stop throughout the night The dropped quilt was covered again, and then kicked off by him, and then she covered it again, caught in a kind of endless loop.
She finally couldn't bear to get up from the bed at five o'clock in the morning. After washing, she saw that the quilt she had covered 10 minutes ago was lifted by Kagami again, and Kagami lay on the bed with his arms outstretched. He even lifted up the pajamas on his body, revealing his strong abdominal muscles.
"If I had known earlier, I might as well have let me sleep on the sofa." Xiangcheng squatted in front of Vulcan, looking at his peaceful sleeping face.
Because of the deep sleep, the canine teeth are not visible when speaking, and the canine teeth are playfully exposed, and the eyelashes tremble with the breathing, which is quite harmless and surprisingly cute.
Kasumi Kazami stood up, and she stretched out her hand to cover the quilt that had been kicked off the bed for Vulcan, borrowed the kitchen and tools from Vulcan's house, cooked a hearty breakfast, and then quietly dragged the box away The home of Vulcan.
No matter how tired you are at the moment, the work still needs to be done.
Today is the TV show press conference. She changed into a more gorgeous embroidered dress, and carefully painted her makeup in the mirror. Her hair was combed and tied with a gray headband. The woman who was still yawning a few minutes ago has returned to her former self Confident and charming at work.
"Morning, Fengzao screenwriter." Baishi opened the door, strolled past, and handed her a document nearly a knuckle thick. You also prepare in advance."
She took the file, and as soon as she opened the first page, her eyes suddenly turned pale. Xiangsumi squeezed the space between her brows, and waited until her eyes became clear again, but it seemed that something was wrong with her body. At this moment, when she read the file, most of the time she just looked at it. Can see a kind of hazy and vague pale white.
The press conference in the afternoon was to build momentum, and all the main creators were present. The corridors leading to various areas of the TV station were covered with promotional posters of the TV series shot by Fuji Zhouzhu, a talented photographer who just won a photography award a few days ago.
This poster did not choose the usual mode of four posters standing in parallel, but innovatively shot four versions based on the characters of the four characters, with different colors and different positions. Electric guitar Rinko Ijiin, bass Marui Bunta, Drum set Ryota Kise and electronic piano Sena Izumi, the four of them in the poster are dressed in black and white as the theme. They have clear eyebrows and charming eyes. They almost show the maximum beauty of the four people, attracting people to participate in the release The reporters at the meeting praised it again and again, and there was an endless stream of flashing lights.
In addition to this talented photographer, the main creator of this TV series also includes Seiichi Yukimura, who just won the Best Director Award from Xunbao last year, and the popular writer Kasumi Kazezaya, who has accumulated 5000 million publications, but these are not enough. For As far as the media is concerned, if there is no more gossip news to dig out enough, then this press conference will undoubtedly fail.
In the plan provided by Imayoshi, this press conference mainly excavated the stories of Yukimura Seiichi, Marui Bunta, and Kazawa Kasumi who went to the same high school, the friendship between classmates, and the cooperation again after many years of graduation. Although it is not earth-shattering, it is also a commanding Interesting news.
However, the day before the press conference, it happened that Rinko Ijuin, the main character of the TV series, was found to have broken up with her boyfriend Daiki Aomine who had been in love for many years, and her office also came forward to confirm the news.
The press conference was held in batches according to the influence of the media. At the beginning, the reporters also asked about "Seina, how do you feel about being ugly for the first time in many years?" ', 'Has Marui watched the original work, will he act in a large-scale role in person' and other questions, but in the end it exploded, and all the focus was on the girl who just broke up yesterday, but is still in good spirits today Actor Ijuin Rinko.
"Why did you break up?"
"Is it just an advance hype for Qingfeng to enter the entertainment world?"
"When did you really break up?"
"Is the reason for the breakup related to the female manager who often accompanied Qingfeng?"
Questions like these kept coming one after another, and the three leading actors were even ignored. Kasumi looked at Rinko who answered them one by one with complete disapproval. Her makeup was very delicate, her smile was extremely gorgeous, and her answers to the questions were ambiguous——
That's enough.
This kind of bloody love story of separation and reunion is the one that the public pays attention to.
"The reason for breaking up is not important, but I hope everyone can understand that Rinko and I will get married after the filming of this TV series is over." Yukimura said seriously. He continued in a rebuttal tone: "As for Aomine-kun, it's a thing of the past for Rinko. I'm very grateful for his care for Rinko before, but that's just the end of it."
Kasumi was originally sitting quietly at the table, but now she moved.
"Director Yukimura."
Among the stunned media, a man stood up. He had aqua blue hair and eyes of the same color. No one noticed how he managed to grab such an opportunity to ask questions.
That person glanced at Kasumi who was sitting in the corner, and continued to ask in an emotionless voice: "May I ask you, what do you think of the screenwriter Fengzao, his ex-girlfriend?"
Another bomb was thrown into the crowd.
"What do you mean?"
"It means literally." Midorima looked at Kasumi from top to bottom with a look of caring for the disadvantaged, "My country graduated from Teiko Middle School, and your mother Kazawa Ami is my private piano teacher. teacher, and also my mother's friend."
"I'm sorry, Doctor Midorima, since you already know that the person I'm going on a blind date with is me, why didn't you just refuse?" Kasumi asked sincerely.
"You talk a little too much, tsk." Lu Jian turned his head away, "That restaurant will have a lot of customers at night, so let's go there first without further ado."
She responded, and followed Midorima out of the optical shop. For some reason, Kasumi Kasumi breathed a sigh of relief after learning that the blind date was actually Shintaro Midorima.
At least it is a familiar person, although the number of times she meets and the chance to speak is very few, but it is much better than the blind date she imagined before.
Thinking of this, Kasumi trotted after Midorima in front of him. Midorima seemed to realize the distance between the two people's height and pace, so he stood in place and patiently waited for Kasumi to come to him before moving forward with her.
She was about as tall as his chest, and when he looked down, he could only see the top of his head with curled hair.
"If I had known it was you, I wouldn't have dressed like this." Xiangcheng pulled off her tie a little depressed. She always likes to wear short skirts or shorts, but suddenly she changed into a more formal A-line skirt, and her feet were not at all. The wide-heeled leather shoes that show off her height are also very awkward to walk on. She began to miss her pair of stiletto suede high-heeled shoes.
Ling Kasumi didn't expect that Midorima only paused for a few seconds before reaching out to her.
"Ok?"
"Hurry up, I don't want to be late."
Midorima's voice was undoubtedly calm, but he was able to make such a rare move, maybe it was deliberately maintaining his usual calm.
Kasumi put her hand on his.
This shop is a new French restaurant that entered half a year ago. It is on the highest floor of the building. When the door opened, there were already many people standing at the door of the shop, as Midorima said.The deliberately polished floor-to-ceiling glass also reflects the slowly entering the dark Tokyo outside the window, and the flickering neon lights can't wait to light up, adding a different flavor to the dining atmosphere of the restaurant.

And the second meeting is today.
Midorima changed into a warm-toned vertically striped shirt, which looked better than the unfriendly gray shirt last time. Kasumi noticed that on his perfectly shaped fingers, there were still tied Bandages, wrists up, and a black wrist watch hidden under the sleeves, other than that, there are no other decorations.

As the dishes were presented one by one, the two of them had already reached the middle of the meal, but the restaurant's occupancy rate remained high, and even those seats in the center of the restaurant, which were not easy to watch the night view, were full of people.
"Kasumi? Why are you here?"
A baritone voice rang in her ears, and Kasumi raised her head in doubt. It was a black-haired man whose bangs almost covered half of his face. She felt a little familiar, but she couldn't do anything other than look at him stupidly. move.
Instead, it was Midorima who was opposite her who spoke first: "Himuro-kun, long time no see."
"Midorima-kun, it's been a long time." The man called Himuro just nodded politely. After noticing Midorima and Kasumi, Himuro's expression became stern, and he spoke to her in an unquestionable voice: "Sorry, can you come out and talk to me?"
"This..." Xiangcheng was terrified by his eyes, and just wanted to take this opportunity to avoid the painful part of eating. Before Midorima agreed, she followed the ice room to the door of the restaurant. Hesitating to speak but stopping, Xiangcheng's heart leaped to the top of her voice, and when Ice Room uttered the first words, her body froze in place.
Ice Room said, "Did you quarrel with Tiger?"
"No, no." Only then did Kasumi recall that the person in front of her was Vulcan's closest foster brother, but after she and Vulcan separated in the restaurant of the TV station because of unhappiness, they had no contact with each other. Recently, she has been busy with work, and has long forgotten the fact that she and Vulcan are actually 'pretending to be a couple'.
"Oh." Himuro looked at Kasumi struggling, thinking he had mastered her troubles, "Although Tiger usually looks carefree, he actually cares about the relatives around him, if his father has been urging him for a long time If your meeting caused you a certain amount of pressure—”
"Father?" Kasumi interrupted Himuro.
"Don't you know? His father saw the news here in Los Angeles and knew that he had a girlfriend, so he came back specially to see you."
"But, but—" Kasumi was at a loss for words, because she had only experienced being 'forced' by her mother to go on a blind date, and she never thought that such a big disturbance would be caused by being taken in by Vulcan.
Whether it's the influence of gossip magazines on him, or his family's arbitrarily high expectations on him because of his feelings...
Obviously he was just kind, but because of her, he got into so many troubles for no reason.
She wanted to pick up the phone to contact Vulcan, but in despair found that she didn't even have the contact information of Vulcan.
"Tiger is also very upset, maybe he got angry at you... But in fact, this matter has really troubled him for a long time. Before that, he suffered a lot because he liked that Yijuin. This time, I finally met you. It's still Alex, I hope you can continue walking, so Kasumi, please don't let go of Tiger's hand casually, I'm asking you very seriously."
"I..." Kasumi gritted her teeth.
The guilt in her heart has overwhelmed the original pain in her stomach. At this moment, she just wants to find Kagami immediately, including the things he is embarrassed about not being able to tell his relatives and friends. The culprit, Kasumi Kazawa, will explain everything clearly to him .
Kasumi first apologized to Himuro, then went back to the seat in the restaurant and picked up her coat and bag.
"I'm sorry." She said in a low voice, "I'm really not feeling well today. Next time we meet, I'll treat you instead."
"I'll see you off." Midorima said.
"I'm driving." She refused in a hurry, almost jogging out of the restaurant, not even noticing that the hair that was originally coiled was unknowingly loosened.
She tossed her bag and coat to the passenger seat, stepped on the gas pedal and rushed out. The air was still filled with the faint smell of alcohol that could not be detected. Why didn't he listen to Vulcan's words, he came to her specially... there must be something to tell her, right?
The scene outside the window was filled with the sound of cars. Xiangsumi stared closely at the black Bentley in front of him. After seeing that the car showed signs of accelerating slightly, he held the steering wheel tightly. Before the driver of the car could react, Has successfully surpassed the past.
[3]
It was almost ten o'clock in the evening when she arrived at the apartment building where Vulcan lived.
Feng Zao Kacheng pressed the floor number based on her previous memory, watched the red indicator light change non-stop, her hair was loose on her shoulders, and she hurriedly fixed it in front of the mirror in the elevator.
The person who opened the door was Vulcan. He stared at her in panic for a long time, and even his tone was full of surprise: "You, why are you here?"
"I..." Kasumi was at a loss for words, and just about to explain, a strange blond woman suddenly appeared behind Vulcan. She was elated when she saw Kasumi, "This is Tiger's girlfriend!"
"No, actually—" Vulcan twitched the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, "Alex, actually she—"
Alex walked around Vulcan and ushered Kasumi, who was also stunned, into the room, smiling very brightly, "I must tell Tiger your father, please rest assured, I like your girlfriend this time very much!"
"What do you like to do with him? Tell me, don't cause trouble for me! It's hard to send dad away..." Vulcan glared at Alex dissatisfiedly, then looked at Kasumi, "Well, you, eat Have you had dinner yet?"
She realized later that Vulcan was still wearing an apron that didn't match his tall figure, and there was foam on his hands and fingertips that hadn't been wiped off.
"I have already eaten."
"Oh..." Vulcan's movements stopped for a while, so he walked back to the kitchen counter with his back to her, and continued to wash the dishes: "Your suitcase is in my room. Dad came back a few days ago to give it to you." I bought a lot of things, and the other guest room couldn't fit in the stack, so I took it to my place without authorization."
Fengzao Xiangcheng was dumbfounded, she walked into Vulcan's room at the back of the corridor, the huge room still maintained the same modern decoration as the outside, there was a basketball in the corner of the room, a poster was pasted in front of Vulcan's bed, and His high school uniform was hung on the wall, and there were several photo frames in front of the bed. In a very simple room, only her box did not match the style of the room.
Kasumi dragged the box over and opened it, and in it were the clothes she brought from the previous apartment, all washed.
The door was opened behind him, and the lock made a short click.
Then there was a long silence that almost made people fall asleep as the two looked at each other.
"Last time at the restaurant..."
"Stop, stop, I won't charge you, please."
"At that time, you would go to deliver breakfast to me because your father was coming back to Tokyo."
Vulcan raised his eyebrows nervously, "Ah, yes. I know they won't believe me no matter what, so I want you to explain it for me."
"It's okay." Kasumi said.
"That, the hair?"
"Ok?"
"It seems to be longer." Vulcan pointed to her shoulder, "Ah, actually, I think long hair looks better, hey...really." Vulcan scratched her hair, "I like long hair. The one with the hair."
"Is that why Himuro-kun's bangs are so long?" Kasumi couldn't help laughing.
"What nonsense." Vulcan was also amused, and then said: "There is still some leftovers from the dinner just now. I will heat it up for you. Let's eat together."
"You haven't had enough."
Vulcan blinked his eyes, as if admitting defeat: "I originally kept it for supper, you said."
She had a stomachache and couldn't eat any food. All she could do was watch Vulcan finish eating and then wash up the rest of the dishes with him.
She looked at her hands covered in dishwashing liquid foam and took a deep breath. The long hair that was still on her shoulders unconsciously slid to her eyes with her movements. Kasumi raised her arms to push the annoying hair back behind her ears. Vulcan was faster than her, stretched out his hand to sweep across her brow, Kasumi closed his eyes reflexively, but didn't dodge, Vulcan's fingers brushed away the fine hair stuck to her face for her, and after that, it was as if nothing happened. It didn't happen and returned to the original position.
Alex, who was watching silently, said that he was fed a mouthful of dog food, so that after Vulcan and Kasumi finished washing the dishes, Alex had quietly returned to his room and couldn't wait to tell the incident to another ice room who liked to hear about it.
"Alex! You open the door, let the wind go early...Kasumi is sleeping with you today, you can't let her drive home so late!"
"Aren't you a couple? Why don't you sleep in one room, Tiger?"
Kasumi tried to communicate with Alex again, but the latter didn't know whether he was really asleep or didn't open the door at all. Kagami was annoyed, and finally he could only look at Kasumi, "I'll just drive you back."
"Do you have a driver's license?"
"Hmm...? Does a Chicago driver's license count?"
"Forget it, I'll just drive back by myself." Kasumi didn't care that it was eleven o'clock, she tried to reassure Kagami.
"How is it possible, there will be problems going back so late!" Vulcan said solemnly, "You go to my room, I'll go to the sofa... Oh no, I forgot that Alex took the last quilt away."
"Don't bother...I'll go back by myself."
"No, I won't let you go, you go to my room with me, let's sleep together."
"Ah...?" Kasumi's face suddenly turned red, and she waved her hands quickly, "No, no, no, I, I, I, I, I, I, I sleep very poorly, I'll just go to the sofa or the room where your father slept."
"Let me tell you, there is no extra quilt, so to speak. Besides, as long as you don't fall out of bed, it will be fine soon?"
Vulcan, who was belatedly aware of it, came to his senses after uttering the word that was enough to make people daydream. He faltered, looking very coy, "I, I'm going to the sofa in the living room."
After discussing this issue over and over again for a long time, until the clock has slowly reached 11:30, Kasumi thought that she had not slept in the same bed with another man before, bit her lower lip, and stopped the fire. God's clothes hem, "It's okay, I won't do anything to you, just, let's sleep together."
Vulcan also blushed, and finally took out all his clothes from the closet and separated them on the bed, which was not too big. At the end, he added, "I also have a bad sleeping posture. I snatched your quilt in the middle of the night, and you kicked me off the bed."
[4]
At six o'clock in the morning, Kasumi returned to the TV station, lying on her desk, she looked like a panda in the mirror, especially the black eyeshadow circle around her eye sockets, even her eyes were bloodshot.
The situation last night was quite embarrassing. Although Xiangcheng usually likes to move around when sleeping, he is basically a good child sleeping in bed, but Vulcan is completely different. Maybe he is used to the life of sleeping alone. They kept kicking the quilt, moving around restlessly, but he was still in a deep sleep, the movements of kicking the quilt and turning over were completely instinctive, so Kasumi kicked him almost non-stop throughout the night The dropped quilt was covered again, and then kicked off by him, and then she covered it again, caught in a kind of endless loop.
She finally couldn't bear to get up from the bed at five o'clock in the morning. After washing, she saw that the quilt she had covered 10 minutes ago was lifted by Kagami again, and Kagami lay on the bed with his arms outstretched. He even lifted up the pajamas on his body, revealing his strong abdominal muscles.
"If I had known earlier, I might as well have let me sleep on the sofa." Xiangcheng squatted in front of Vulcan, looking at his peaceful sleeping face.
Because of the deep sleep, the canine teeth are not visible when speaking, and the canine teeth are playfully exposed, and the eyelashes tremble with the breathing, which is quite harmless and surprisingly cute.
Kasumi Kazami stood up, and she stretched out her hand to cover the quilt that had been kicked off the bed for Vulcan, borrowed the kitchen and tools from Vulcan's house, cooked a hearty breakfast, and then quietly dragged the box away The home of Vulcan.
No matter how tired you are at the moment, the work still needs to be done.
Today is the TV show press conference. She changed into a more gorgeous embroidered dress, and carefully painted her makeup in the mirror. Her hair was combed and tied with a gray headband. The woman who was still yawning a few minutes ago has returned to her former self Confident and charming at work.
"Morning, Fengzao screenwriter." Baishi opened the door, strolled past, and handed her a document nearly a knuckle thick. You also prepare in advance."
She took the file, and as soon as she opened the first page, her eyes suddenly turned pale. Xiangsumi squeezed the space between her brows, and waited until her eyes became clear again, but it seemed that something was wrong with her body. At this moment, when she read the file, most of the time she just looked at it. Can see a kind of hazy and vague pale white.
The press conference in the afternoon was to build momentum, and all the main creators were present. The corridors leading to various areas of the TV station were covered with promotional posters of the TV series shot by Fuji Zhouzhu, a talented photographer who just won a photography award a few days ago.
This poster did not choose the usual mode of four posters standing in parallel, but innovatively shot four versions based on the characters of the four characters, with different colors and different positions. Electric guitar Rinko Ijiin, bass Marui Bunta, Drum set Ryota Kise and electronic piano Sena Izumi, the four of them in the poster are dressed in black and white as the theme. They have clear eyebrows and charming eyes. They almost show the maximum beauty of the four people, attracting people to participate in the release The reporters at the meeting praised it again and again, and there was an endless stream of flashing lights.
In addition to this talented photographer, the main creator of this TV series also includes Seiichi Yukimura, who just won the Best Director Award from Xunbao last year, and the popular writer Kasumi Kazezaya, who has accumulated 5000 million publications, but these are not enough. For As far as the media is concerned, if there is no more gossip news to dig out enough, then this press conference will undoubtedly fail.
In the plan provided by Imayoshi, this press conference mainly excavated the stories of Yukimura Seiichi, Marui Bunta, and Kazawa Kasumi who went to the same high school, the friendship between classmates, and the cooperation again after many years of graduation. Although it is not earth-shattering, it is also a commanding Interesting news.
However, the day before the press conference, it happened that Rinko Ijuin, the main character of the TV series, was found to have broken up with her boyfriend Daiki Aomine who had been in love for many years, and her office also came forward to confirm the news.
The press conference was held in batches according to the influence of the media. At the beginning, the reporters also asked about "Seina, how do you feel about being ugly for the first time in many years?" ', 'Has Marui watched the original work, will he act in a large-scale role in person' and other questions, but in the end it exploded, and all the focus was on the girl who just broke up yesterday, but is still in good spirits today Actor Ijuin Rinko.
"Why did you break up?"
"Is it just an advance hype for Qingfeng to enter the entertainment world?"
"When did you really break up?"
"Is the reason for the breakup related to the female manager who often accompanied Qingfeng?"
Questions like these kept coming one after another, and the three leading actors were even ignored. Kasumi looked at Rinko who answered them one by one with complete disapproval. Her makeup was very delicate, her smile was extremely gorgeous, and her answers to the questions were ambiguous——
That's enough.
This kind of bloody love story of separation and reunion is the one that the public pays attention to.
"The reason for breaking up is not important, but I hope everyone can understand that Rinko and I will get married after the filming of this TV series is over." Yukimura said seriously. He continued in a rebuttal tone: "As for Aomine-kun, it's a thing of the past for Rinko. I'm very grateful for his care for Rinko before, but that's just the end of it."
Kasumi was originally sitting quietly at the table, but now she moved.
"Director Yukimura."
Among the stunned media, a man stood up. He had aqua blue hair and eyes of the same color. No one noticed how he managed to grab such an opportunity to ask questions.
That person glanced at Kasumi who was sitting in the corner, and continued to ask in an emotionless voice: "May I ask you, what do you think of the screenwriter Fengzao, his ex-girlfriend?"
Another bomb was thrown into the crowd.
