Chapter 124: The Torii Effect

Yuki Torii is an ordinary female high school student.

After lunch, she went back to her bedroom and sat on her knees crossed, staring at the poster on the wall.

The handsome young man on the poster is named Lin Hai.

Lin Hai has never taken photos or advertisements, and this poster was actually hand-painted by Yuki Torii himself.

"Alas......"

Looking at the boy's charming smile, Yuki Torii sighed.

Early this morning, the news that "Ryoko Hirosue was caught by Kyoko Fukada at the Limhai Hotel's private meeting" appeared on the headlines of the entertainment pages of many newspapers such as the Yomiuri Shimbun and the Asahi Shimbun, and was subsequently reprinted by major TV stations in the morning news and noon news. Because it is a weekend and summer vacation, coupled with the "conclusive evidence", in less than half a day, this "love triangle" has reached the point where passers-by know about it.

This was a very big blow to Yuki Torii.

A sixteen-year-old girl, the age of dreaming, Yuki Torii likes Lin Hai very much, and in her opinion, if Lin Hai does not belong to her, then it should not belong to anyone.

However...... Think of Kyoko Fukada and Ryoko Hirosue......

Yuki Torii was even more lost.

……

"Yuki-chan, Yuki-chan, come out, big event!"

A familiar shout could be heard outside the window.

Kana Inoue, the eldest daughter of the next-door neighbor's family, is one year older than Yuki Torii and is currently in her second year of high school.

Contrary to the ordinary-looking and introverted Yuki Torii, Kana Inoue is a beautiful girl full of vitality.

Although they have different personalities, the two are very good friends.

The two made an appointment to go to the festival together yesterday afternoon, but Yuki Torii, who had just been hit, was not interested at all, so Suo pretended not to hear.

"Xing-chan, come out quickly, I know you're at home! If you don't come out, don't regret it in the future!"

Kana Inoue outside the window shouted persistently.

Torii had no choice but to open the window and ask, "What's wrong?"

Inoue Kana said excitedly: "You would never have imagined, Lin Hai-"

Yuki Torii interrupted her and said, "You won't find out now, will you?" Sorry, I'm not feeling well today, you can go play by yourself." ”

She said she was going to close the window.

Kana Inoue hurriedly shouted.

"No, Lin Hai is here with us!"

"Huh?"

Yuki Torii thought she had misheard.

Kana Inoue saw her distracted and waved at her.

"Hey, Yuki-chan, are you listening?"

"Ahh

Torii Yuki came back to his senses and hurriedly asked, "You said that Lin Hai came to us? Which Lin Hai?"

Kana Inoue asked rhetorically, "Which one else?"

"Really?"

Yuki Torii's excited voice changed, and she asked more and more eagerly, "Really, you didn't lie to me?"

"What am I lying to you for!"

Kana Inoue said, "My mother just called and said that Lin Hai was at the festival site......

Before she could finish her sentence, Yuki Torii's head retracted.

"Wait for me, it'll be right away!"

Yuki Torii shouted and began to rummage through boxes and cabinets to find clothes.

"This one, no, this one, no, no, no......"

"Hey, Yuki-chan, are you alright?"

Downstairs, Kana's voice urging came from Inoue.

Yuki Torii calmed down a little, patted his head with a wry smile, and thought to himself, he was not beautiful in the first place, so what could he do if he was dressed up?

Thinking so, she chose a favorite dress anyway.

Before leaving the door, his eyes inadvertently swept over the poster on the wall, and Yuki Torii hesitated for a moment, carefully removed it, rolled it carefully, put it in a badminton tube with a pen, and took it out the door.

……

Two young girls hold hands and run towards the park where the festival is held.

"Whew, whew...... Sister Kanai, you say, why did Lin Jun come to us?"

"Who knows, maybe it was because he felt that you were for him and came to see you?"

Kana Inoue made a joke about her friend.

"Don't, stop kidding......"

Yuki Torii's face flushed with excitement even redder.

Inoue Kana deliberately teased her: "Why are you joking! You have painted so many portraits of Lin Jun, what is that?"

She glanced at the badminton tube in Yuki Torii's hand, sighed, and said, "It's a pity that the painting you gave me was torn off by my brother, otherwise I would have used it to ask him to sign it......"

……

When the two girls arrived at the event, they found a large crowd gathered outside a cooking tent.

The two hurriedly ran over, and when they got closer, they found that the faces on everyone's faces were ugly.

Kana Inoue found her mother in the crowd and asked, "Mom, where is Lin Hai, what happened?"

"Someone poisoned the curry, but fortunately Lin Jun found out......"

"Poisoned?!"

Kana Inoue was taken aback.

Torii Yuki asked nervously, "Is Lin Jun okay?"

"Don't worry, he's fine. ”

Mrs. Inoue said, looking at Yuki Torii carefully.

Her eyes were strange.

Not only her, but the people who noticed Yuki Torii were looking at her with strange eyes.

"Is there anything on my face?"

Yuki Torii was nervous.

"Did you know Lin Jun before?"

"Iβ€”how could I possibly know him?"

"Oh, so it's all fate......"

Mrs. Inoue came out of nowhere.

Yuki Torii was about to ask when she suddenly heard someone calling her.

When she looked at the voice, she found that Takatoshi Tanaka, the president of the neighborhood association, was standing at the door of the tent and waving at her.

The crowd spontaneously made a way, and Torii Yuki saw this and walked over nervously.

……

Yuki Torii met Lin Hai in the tent, but before she could say hello to Lin Hai, a female reporter stopped her.

Hearing the female reporter tell the truth, Yuki Torii was completely stunned.

She finally understood why everyone's watches were so ugly.

Curry rice is one of the most important dishes in summer festivals, and most people use it as a staple food, and the thought of death once made people shudder.

Moreover, the scene described by the female reporter was too terrifying.

However, fear did not stay in Yuki Torii's heart for long, her heart

In the blink of an eye, I was filled with happiness.

Lin Jun dreamed of me? He heard my cry for help, and he rushed to save me?

At this moment, Yuki Torii felt like Cinderella in a fairy tale, smashed by a crystal slipper falling from the sky.

Yuki Torii finished accepting the interview with the female reporter in a daze, and her head cooled down slightly, and she finally had the opportunity to talk to Lin Hai.

She took out the portrait and asked nervously, "Lin Jun, can you please sign for me?"

"Signatures, of course!"

Lin Hai took the poster in the girl's hand and found that it was actually his own portrait, he asked in surprise, "You painted this?"

"I'm sorry for the bad drawing, it made you smile......"

"No, it's very well drawn!"

Lin Hai showed the portrait to the camera and said with a smile: "This painting is much more handsome than myself!"

He paused and said, "I've decided not to sign on it." ”

Lin Hai's words surprised everyone very much, and Torii Yuki couldn't hide his loss.

Seeing this, Lin Hai explained, "I mean, can you give me this painting?"

Yuki Torii suddenly became happy and said loudly, "Of course!"

"Thank you, I'll keep it for good. ”

Lin Hai said and handed the signature pen to Yuki Torii, "You don't mind signing for me, right?"

"Huh?"

Yuki Torii was even more surprised.

It has always been artists who sign autographs for fans, but when they got to Lin Hai, they actually turned upside down.

When Torii signed her name, Lin Hai gave her another surprise.

"Miss Muramatsu, could you please take a picture for us?"

Miyu Muramatsu smiled and nodded.

Yuki Torii's eyes widened.

In this regard, many offices prohibit artists from taking photos with fans, in the name of protecting the portrait rights of artists, but in fact, they are selling goods.

For example, if you want to get photos of idols, you can only join a membership and buy an idol photo taken by the agency.

It was precisely because of this understanding that Torii Yuki didn't dare to ask for a group photo at all, but he didn't expect Lin Hai to take the initiative to mention it.

She asked incredulously, "Is that okay?"

Lin Hai nodded and said, "Of course." ”

……

If history does not change, Yuki Torii will lose his young life in this incident.

From this point of view, she was lucky.

Outsiders don't know this, but that doesn't stop people from calling her a "lucky girl."

……

More than a decade later, the well-known journalist Katsuaki Kito mentioned this history in his autobiography.

It goes like this in the book -

"During that time, newspapers, radio, television, and the fledgling Internet were reporting on it...... And in life, even if you walk into a convenience store casually, you can hear people talking about it, or in other words, talking about Lin Hai at the center of the incident. ”

This is not the first time that Lin Hai has sparked a national discussion, not long before this incident, he had become a talking point for the song "Poison". Interestingly, Poison means 'poison', and the Wakayama incident

It's also about 'poison'. Some time ago, I did a social survey, and when asked about the author of the song "Poison", the respondents answered in the affirmative that it was Lin Hai, but in fact, Lin Hai had never sung this song in any concert except for the theme song of "GTO......"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ The drama of the Wakayama incident was the root cause of the controversy. Some time after the incident, the police revealed the truth in a press conference - Lin Hai deduced that the incident could have happened through clues found on the Internet, so he went to Wakayama under the banner of a roadshow to investigate the truth. This is logical, but interestingly, most of the people around me, even my father, who is a lawyer, believe the original report that Lin Hai was guided by a dream to prevent the tragedy from unfolding. In my mother's words: 'What could be more romantic than that?'"

"Men aspire to be heroes, women pursue romance, old people are superstitious, and children are naΓ―ve and fantasical...... The dream world is a good way to meet the psychological needs of the whole society. And when it comes to this 'dream', I can't fail to mention Yuki Torii as the 'heroine'. Yuki Torii is undoubtedly lucky, she is just an ordinary girl, but because of the Fuji TV report, she became a household name, and even caused a social phenomenon - at that time, countless girls were influenced by it, and began to paint, they put the portrait of their favorite idol on their heads, prayed at night, hoping to pass on their hearts to each other, or expressed their meaning to men by giving portraits - personal, which was more influenced by the "Titanic" released at the end of 1997; At that time, the word 'luck' became the first choice for parents when naming their children......"

……

"Wouldn't you have a troubled conscience about using a simple girl like this?"

Rika Inomi walks into the president's office of RIN and finds Hayashi Hai listening to the radio.

A talk show is being broadcast on the radio, and the guest on the show is Yuki Torii.

Now that a week has passed since the trip to Wakayama, the degree of the incident has not diminished at all, and Lin Hai has been interviewed a lot, and he is really unbearable - there is really nothing to say, so he uses creation as an excuse to hide in the office and refuse to show up.

He hid, and the reporters set their sights on Yuki Torii.

The girl herself enjoys it, and it seems that there is a tendency to "blow in the forest".

Seeing that Rika has been talking lately, the smell of gunpowder is very strong, and Lin Hai doesn't want to mess with her, but he doesn't want to take the blame either.

Lin Hai shrugged his shoulders: "Could it be that if I saved her, I have to be responsible for her life?"

Seeing that Rika didn't say anything, it was a tacit acquiescence to his statement.

Still, she was upset. In her opinion, Lin Hai's behavior of using the topic to hype is no different from "making a fortune".

Lin Hai knew very well what she was thinking.

The question is, whose country?

Lin Hai is not a boundless person, he is a Chinese man who runs to save his life, and when he returns to China, I don't know how many people will poke him in the back, and he took such a big risk, if there is no return, then wouldn't he lose a lot?

What's more, although his popularity has skyrocketed, but popularity is very empty, and it is still impossible to confirm whether it can be transformed into real wealth and influence.

No, there's a chance to confirm it right away.

Lin Hai stood up and said, "Accompany me to Kinokuniya." ”
