Chapter Thirty-Eight: I Came to Your City, and Walked the Way You Came

After leaving Mita Hospital, the two went to a cold drink shop on the street to buy two ice creams.

"Let's go to the movies. Haruka Shimazaki said casually as she licked the strawberry-flavored ice cream.

"Song on the Lips?"

Shimazaki nodded, "After all, I've promised Aragaki seniors, if you don't look at it, it's a deception." Also, can you be sincere and don't talk nonsense in front of your seniors?"

"I see, don't be angry!" Watanabe Jun knew that she was still struggling with the nonsense he said before about longing for Yui Aragaki to enter the entertainment world.

"I'm not angry, it's just that Aragaki Senpai is someone I like very much, so I don't want to make a bad impression in front of her. ”

Haruka Shimazaki said a little sullenly, biting into the ice cream fiercely, freezing her teeth.

"Can't you eat less?" Watanabe Jun was a little speechless.

"It's a pity that there is no group photo. ”

Look at her lost look, secretly funny, little girl temper.

"Next time, I'll take you to see her, isn't it Yui Aragaki. ”

"Can you not brag? I don't think she knows you well, and she said that she had dinner together, and you were able to meet her because of other connections, right?

Shimazaki thinks he's a bit messy.

"Don't want to see you? Forget it, when I didn't say it. Jun Watanabe rolled his eyes.

Although it's not polite to disturb people if it's okay, the problem is that he also wants to have a good relationship with Gakki, and by the way, he is popular.

Otherwise, when will it become popular?

Li Ronghao sang sadly——— I was so hurt that I cried exaggeratedly, just to be popular for a few years.

Eason Chan sang sadly———You are exaggerated to me, exaggerated just because I am afraid, if it is like wood or stone, will it be noticed?"

Everyone's mentality of wanting to be popular is the same.

So Jun Watanabe doesn't think he's shameless, it's just a conscious effort to expand his network.

Sister, you're very popular, so let's be friends.

Is there something wrong?

"Don't be like this, next time you have a chance, you must call me, I still want to ask her for acting skills. ”

"Don't worry, you don't have to wait long, my sister will come back from Osaka, I will make an appointment with her again, she should be well at that time, and I will take a beautiful photo of you when the time comes." ”

Watanabe Jun doesn't quite understand why a girl likes Aragaki Yui, and his sister is like this, and he was very excited to hear that he could see Aragaki Yui, but in fact, the most popular in Neon Bang is still the national actress Haruka Ayase, known as Milk Haruka, who is now 30 years old.

Jun Watanabe has never seen a single work of this actress, so it is naturally impossible to talk about her, but just from the appearance, he still thinks that Aragaki Yui looks much better.

"Thank you, it's so hard for you. Shimazaki was a little depressed, and he could only meet Aragaki seniors in this "despicable" way.

"Didn't you say to watch a movie, which theater to go to?" Watanabe Jun is not very familiar with Tokyo.

"It's relatively close to here...... I think let's go to Roppongi Hills TOHO Studios, I've seen movies there a few times, and it feels pretty good. ”

With that, the two of them got on the Mercedes-Benz that had been attached to the back and headed to TOHO Studios.

Since it was not a holiday, and it was a session after 3 p.m., Jun Watanabe easily chose two seats in the middle of the vending machine.

A ticket costs 1,800 yen (110), which is still slightly more expensive than in Japan.

Admission began at 15:45, and Jun Watanabe sat in the lounge area in front of the entrance of the theater, quietly waiting for the time to pass.

Couples in twos and threes sit around, their intimate gestures exude the sour smell of love, Watanabe Jun is a little curious about how Haruka Shimazaki, who doesn't like to go out, came to watch the movie alone, isn't this situation dog abuse?

"Did you really come to the movies alone before?"

"Sometimes, when you can't find anyone. ”

"Is what is said on the show true?"

"I'm not like you, and I'm full of lies. ”

"I'm just a white lie. ”

"Sophistry. ”

"Don't you have good friends? In the group, it's good to drag a junior over to watch a movie with you, right?"

Jun Watanabe was a little puzzled.

"I spend most of my time at home in Saitama Prefecture, and I am only in Tokyo when I work, so I can't make up the time. ”

"It's just a house, your skin looks like it hasn't been exposed to the sun, and you still exercise regularly...... It's better. ”

Speaking of which, Juncai Watanabe remembered that she suffers from asthma and should not be able to do strenuous exercise.

"Why don't you say it? I'm just a house, what's wrong with it? Are you very diligent? Do you go out and exercise every day?"

......

"Ha, I still have the face to say that I'm probably lazier than me. ”

Jun Watanabe was speechless and changed the subject.

"What kind of movie is Song of the Lips?"

"It should belong to the category of literary films. ”

"What type of movies do you like to watch?"

"I watch horror movies and comedies, and I don't have anything particularly annoying, what about you?"

"Me," Jun Watanabe thought for a moment, his favorite thing to watch was of course small films, but he couldn't say that.

"Violent crime dramas. ”

"It's no surprise at all, a boy your age is full of messy things. ”

Palulu said disdainfully, "In the future, it is better to watch more literary films like "Song on the Lips" to sublimate your spirit." ”

It didn't take long for the time to come, and the two lined up to enter the venue, but they received a message from Nengnian on the line.

"Aren't you going to class in the afternoon?"

"No, sorry, watch a movie. ”

“...... Know how to play all day long. ”

"Sister, where am I playing? I'm going to watch "Song on the Lips", just to figure out the acting skills of Aragaki seniors. ”

"Went with a girl, right?"

"You know all this?"

"Then you can continue to figure out your acting skills (look of disdain). ”

Putting the phone back in their pockets, the two of them were already carrying popcorn into the screening room.

Because I entered the venue early, advertisements were playing on the screen, and people were coming in one after another, and there was a small noise around me.

"Those two girls are so beautiful?"

"Where?"

Jun Watanabe kept swiping his phone and didn't pay attention.

"Sit...... The third row in front of you, already seated, you can't see it. ”

"Oh. ”

"The movie is on, you don't play with your phone. ”

Jun Watanabe looked up.

Verdant mountains and blue seas, ferries on the sea, a slender girl lying on a bench, the whistle sounded, she was awakened, gradually got up, the camera zoomed in and rotated, and saw her soft side face.

Sure enough, it's Yui Aragaki, every shot is so beautiful.

......

The children participating in the music show sang in prayer, the former music teacher heard the children's singing through the mobile phone during the production, and the temporary music teacher played by Yui Aragaki sat in front of the piano and played elegantly, and the pair of slender jade-like fingers jumped lightly on top of black and white.

There are some cliché youth inspirational films, how an injured genius and beautiful pianist returns to his hometown to bring up a group of cliché students' cliché stories, but still with a solid script, a thick cast lineup, an experienced director, and a fresh and pure painting style, Jun's heart of Watanabe is slightly rippling.

Yui Aragaki in the movie is more beautiful than in reality.

The theme song sung by the choir is also very beautiful, at the end of the movie, the former teacher gave birth smoothly, and the substitute teacher Aragaki Yui who healed the pain of the heart knot wore a simple long skirt, standing on the ferry with fluttering clothes, the whistle sounded melodiously, the theme song sounded again, and the students said goodbye to her on the shore.

The lyrics are shown on the subtitles:

Where are you reading this letter right now?

What to do?

At the age of fifteen, I had troubles that I couldn't talk to anyone

If it is a letter to one's future self

I guess I can say it frankly

At this moment, he is about to admit defeat and cry

It was as if I was going to disappear in the next second

Whose words should I believe to keep going?

There is only one heart

Constantly shattering and crumbling

In the midst of pain, live in the moment......

With the singing, the camera rotates and zooms out, and the white ferry crosses a white trail on the blue sea, and the names of the actors float on the screen: Yui Aragaki, Fumino Kimura, Kenta Kiritani......

Jun Watanabe turned sideways to look at Shimazaki only to find that she was secretly wiping away tears.

I didn't expect her to be a sentimental woman.

Although he thinks that the movie is above the standard, the plot is cliché after all, lacking commercial film elements, the two-hour movie is slightly dull, the plot is slightly dragged, and it should not be a big hit at the box office.

After all, in the bustling city, the impetuousness of people's hearts and the busyness of life and work, few people can maintain a calm mind to watch such a warm and inspirational youth literary film.

But with the gold-lettered signboard of Aragaki Yui, it shouldn't be smashed into the pot.

From a business point of view, it's decent.

The movie ended, and the audience left one after another.

Out of the theater building, Haruka Shimazaki pointed ahead and said:

"I saw Mai Shiraishi, the one next to her should be Sayuri Matsumura, I didn't expect them to come to see this movie, what a coincidence!"

Mai Shiraishi?

Following her line of sight, sure enough, in the cold drink shop not far in front, I saw the familiar shadow in my memory.

Suddenly, my head went blank.

Shimazaki took a few steps forward before realizing that he hadn't followed, and when he turned around, the boy's gaze was glazed.

"Are you alright?"

She took two steps back and poked the boy's arm with her finger.

Something unexpected happened to her.

The boy paid no attention to her, and as if a gloomy shadow was shrouded in him, he walked briskly forward, towards the two beautiful girls.

Shimazaki was confused, why did he suddenly stop talking?

What does he want to do?

Recalling his demeanor just now, he felt a little uneasy inexplicably, so he hurriedly chased after him.

The boy was a step late, and after the two girls bought the juice, they beckoned a taxi and left.

Shimazaki was petite and didn't have the size of a teenager, and it took a few steps to catch up with him.

"Are you a fan of Nogizaka?"

"What did you say?" the boy looked in a trance.

"I said you're not a fan of Nogizaka, otherwise what are you doing so fast? ”

But the boy's reaction was beyond her expectations.

Jun Watanabe glanced back at where he had been standing before, and compared it to where he was standing now.

There is no memory in my mind of how he crossed the thirty-meter distance.

"Did I come by myself?" he looked solemn, but Shimazaki was a little puzzled.

"Otherwise, I'm still carrying you over? What nonsense are you talking about in broad daylight?Are you too excited to see your idol? It's understandable, but are you pushing Mai Shiraishi or Sayuri Matsumura?"

"Mai Shiraishi?"

Jun Watanabe's heart palpitated, and when he mentioned the name, it seemed as if something was about to jump out of his head, just like just now.

Suddenly, he lost his mind.

Isn't the fusion after the crossing completely complete?Or did the predecessor suddenly come back and give him a counter-kill?

Jun Watanabe shuddered.
