"Miss Akemi, how do you feel about being the heroine of a TV drama for the first time!"

"That...... I am glad that I was able to gain the trust of Director Kimura this time to serve as an adaptation of the manga of the same name by Mr. Fukuda. Actually, just before I took the stage, I quietly confirmed it with Superintendent Kimura."

I asked Kimura-sensei, "

"Are you really asking me to be the heroine of this show?"

Kimura-sensei looked at me with a confused look on his face, and then said to me with some concern.

"You haven't read the script yet......, have you? It's going to turn on soon......"

"Haha......"

With Akemi's slightly teasing answer, there was a burst of laughter from the press gallery in the audience. Sae Takashima stood quietly in the corner of the conference room, secretly full of Akemi's performance

nodded knowingly.

When Akemi skillfully answered the reporter's question. Another reporter threw the question to the male protagonist of the show, Ryojin Chiba. I saw that the reporter took the microphone handed over by the staff, and then asked unceremoniously.

"Mr. Chiba, can you respond to the relationship between you and Nana Kobayakawa who was the heroine of the previous play?"

"Hmm...... We are very good friends and colleagues, and we hope to continue to work together if we have the opportunity in the future......"

"Someone took a picture of you spending the night at Nana Kobayakawa house, excuse me, are you dating?"

"That...... We're just friends in general......"

Hearing someone ask about the scandal between Ryojin Chiba and Nana Kobayakawa, the reporters in the audience immediately scrambled to raise their hands and wanted to ask Ryoma Chiba a question.

"This is the third time you've had an affair with the actress you worked with, and you've been photographed staying overnight at the other party's house, do you still want to deny it?"

"You're not already living together, are you?"

……

Seeing that a good press conference was about to be taken crooked, Kanako Kimura hurriedly turned on the microphone and said to the reporters in the audience.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today is the press conference of "Reasoning After Dinner", please don't ask irrelevant questions......"

"What a headache...... The TV station is afraid that the ratings will not be good, and it is unwilling to increase the budget, so it can only find this kind of artist who is riddled with negative news, I am really afraid that he will ruin this opportunity that I have won so hard!"

Kanako secretly scolded in her heart. Then she looked at Akemi, who was sitting next to her. I thought to myself that Akemi probably had the same distress as herself!

As a result, Kanako's first media conference as a supervisor came to an abrupt end in the scandal of Ryojin Chiba. Akemi said goodbye to Kanako and left TV Asahi in a car. On the way back, Akemi took the initiative to dial Lin Xiuyi's phone.

"Moses Moses?"

"Is it too good to repair the sauce?"

"Huh?"

Hearing Akemi express her dissatisfaction with herself on the phone, Lin Xiuyi couldn't help but feel a little surprised?

"Na...... Nani?"

"Xiu-chan is injured and didn't tell me, is it too much?"

Hearing Akemi's dissatisfied tone on the phone, Lin Xiuyi hurriedly apologized to the salesperson who was introducing the car to him, he put the phone to his ear and trotted all the way outside, until he was sure that the sound of the phone would not disturb the people around him, Lin Xiuyi carefully explained on the phone.

"Ah...... I'm really sorry, this wouldn't have happened, but I was careless and accidentally got punched, don't worry, I'm okay now. The reason why I didn't tell Akemi-chan was because I didn't want Akemi-chan to worry about me......"

Hearing Lin Xiuyi's explanation, Akemi was not satisfied, in fact, what really made her dissatisfied was not that Lin Xiuyi didn't tell her about her injury.

"Xiu-chan, it's all because of that woman that you get hurt! She's been living with you for a long time, why hasn't she moved away from you?"

Akemi unceremoniously questioned Lin Xiuyi on the phone.

"It's been a long time, but it's only been a little over a week, and I've asked you before, and you agreed at the time......"

Lin Xiuyi asked Akemi on the phone with some puzzlement.

"But...... Why isn't it me who lives with Xiu-chan, obviously I'm your real girlfriend!"

Akemi asked Lin Xiuyi angrily on the phone.

"This ...... If we do that, Miss Takashima will kill me!"

Although what Lin Xiuyi said was true, Akemi still couldn't accept that Lin Xiuyi got along with a beautiful woman every day. That's why she couldn't wait to complain to Lin Xiuyi on the phone after the press conference.

"I don't care, Shu-chan has to choose between Akemi and that woman!"

"Uh...... I don't think I have to choose at all, Akemi-chan! Sakurako-sama and I are just ordinary friends. ”

Lin Xiuyi replied on the phone with some embarrassment.

"In that case, why not let the woman move out?"

Akemi still asked Lin Xiuyi unrelentingly.

"This ...... How can you say such a thing, and it's a bit too much to kick a friend who is in trouble out of his home, isn't it?"

Lin Xiuyi explained to Akemi in embarrassment on the phone. I don't know why, the more he explained, the more angry Akemi became, which made Lin Xiu not know what to do for a while.

……

After about ten minutes of calling, Sakurako, who had been waiting for Lin Xiuyi to come back in the store, ran out with some worry, but just when she walked not far behind Lin Xiuyi. But I heard Lin Xiuyi explaining something to Akemi on the phone.

"Don't be like this, Akemi-chan, Miss Sakurako is in need of help when she is sleepy, how can I not lend a hand?"

……

Sakurako heard Lin Shuichi's words and immediately stood in place. Then there was a trace of pain in my heart.

Mr. Lin...... Sure enough, I already have a sweetheart!"

Sakurako secretly took a deep breath, trying to calm her mind. A few minutes later, when the exhausted Lin Xiuyi finally hung up the phone and planned to go back, as soon as he turned around, he saw Sakura standing not far behind him.

"Sakurako-san?...... How long have you been waiting?"

Lin Xiuyi asked Sakurako with a somewhat embarrassed expression.

"Ah...... I also just came out, Mr. Lin, that ...... Reina-chan asks if you're sure you want that car?"
