Chapter 57: The crowd is looking for her a thousand times
As the last chord fell, applause erupted all around, and even some bold spectators shoutedβββ one more, one more!"
"The young man's singing voice is really good! I think my brother was also βββ back then."
"Si Guoyi!"
"Handsome!"
......
Jun Watanabe bowed slightly, a smile on his lips, and turned to hand the guitar to the street singer.
"Aligado!"
......
The short-haired girl looked up at him, speechless, and took the guitar in a daze, a blush on her face.
"No...... Thank you, may I ask βββ"
The girl had yet to say something, but Jun Watanabe had already walked towards Mayuyu.
"Sister, I saw an old classmate, go say hello and come over, you guys go to the food stall over there to eat something first!"
"Hey!"
Old classmate? Mayu Watanabe tilted his head, revealing a puzzled look, where did the old classmate come from, so coincidental?
"Ah Chun sings so well, I really want to hear him sing again!" Yuria Kizaki clenched her hands into fists on her chest, looking at the back of Jun Watanabe leaving, her eyes full of little stars.
Sakura Miyawaki didn't speak, and also watched Jun Watanabe disappear into the crowd.
"Let's go over there and buy something to drink, we're dying of thirst!"
Mayu Watanabe walked towards the food stall first, Mu Qi followed, and the two walked a few steps, only to find that Miyawa Sakura was standing still and did not move.
"Sakura, what are you doing in a daze, are you obsessed with Ah Chun? When he comes back, I'll tell you!"
Muqi Yulia walked over and touched her little face.
"What did you say?"
Miyawaki Sakura had a confused expression on his face, and he was cute.
Jun Watanabe broke through the crowd and walked along the cherry blossom avenue, but he didn't find the beautiful figure.
"Strange?
The moment he saw her in the crowd, the hazy look of tears, his heart was pounded hard, and the impulse that surged like a tide swept over him.
That's why he found an excuse to come out to find that girl so inexplicably.
But there are many pedestrians, but only the person who has the heart cannot be found.
He stood in the center of the road, slowly turned around, and carefully looked at every passerby with his eyes, meticulously, like a sophisticated scanning machine, his eyes were eagle eyes.
But she still found nothing, where did she go?
There was a sense of confusion in his heart, but without the slightest hesitation, he walked towards the end of the road, or there, he could find her.
So there was a strange boy on the cherry blossom avenue in Ueno Park, who looked around blankly, and his footsteps did not stop, and he swept through the crowd at a rapid pace, like a carp swimming upstream.
Finally, around the corner, the slender back disappeared into the cherry trees.
There, there!
I was lucky to have found her!
"Oops, it hurts!"
In surprise, only a small body was bumped, followed by the cry of a child.
A little girl with a mushroom head in a rose suspender dress was knocked to the ground by him.
"Smimarseille!" Jun Watanabe quickly bowed and apologized to the parents of the five or six-year-old child.
Although the expressions on the faces of the little girl's parents were a little displeased, seeing that their daughter was just sitting on the ground and not crying, it should be fine, so they replied rigidly:
"Big husband (it's okay)!"
......
After this little episode, Jun Watanabe rushed to the corner of the road again, and there was no trace of him.
I couldn't help but feel a little annoyed in my heart.
But I don't know why this frustration is?
He didn't plan to go back, passing by the shrine and passing by a row of bronze lanterns Toshogu Shrine, Watanabe Jun had no hope of finding the girl, it seemed that he should have taken a fork in the road.
In a trance, he came to a huge rock, and Jun Watanabe walked around the towering boulder, only to see the three big characters "Shinobi Pond" engraved on the front.
Bypass the boulder and go to the pool, where there is a deep lake surrounded by flowers and trees. Some cherry blossom admirers are rowing on the surface of the lake, the sparkling fingers reflecting the colorful flowers and trees, and their loved ones are rowing on the surface of the lake, shoulder to shoulder, even if they don't speak, the falling cherry blossoms alone are already mesmerizing.
Jun Watanabe enjoyed the scenery and planned to return the way he came.
And beside him, between four or five cherry trees, a girl in a light blue crewneck long-sleeved lace top stood in front of a wooden railing.
Her attention was focused on the railing, where the seagull with its black and white feathers and bright red beak crouched on the wide railing, squinting and seeming to be sleepy.
The girl looked at the seagull quietly, and in addition to the seagull, there were two black mallards perched in the haystack under the railing.
The girl tiptoed towards the seagull, but before she could get closer, the mobile phone rang loudly, and she was startled, and the seagull also woke up, rolled her eyelids in confusion, jumped on the railing a few times, and then flew to perch on the cherry blossom tree not far away.
The girl stomped her feet, with a look of chagrin on her face, she took out her mobile phone from her red bag, looked at the caller ID, and then exclaimed:
"Tooth failure, elbow, forget you're still waiting for me!"
With that, she connected her phone and hurried in the other direction.
Jun Watanabe just turned around, and unfortunately saw her holding up her mobile phone and talking, passing in front of her.
He just stretched out his hand to say hello, but he raised his hand in the air before realizing that he seemed to be a little abrupt.
I met in a barbecue restaurant before, and now I meet here again, and the two have never known each other, so it's a bit ...... to say hello so presumptently Will it be regarded as a tailgating idiot?
In a moment's hesitation, the girl has already walked away.
Although reason told him not to keep up with him anymore, if he was found out, he would really be regarded as an idiot, anyway, Nogizaka 46 was forbidden to fall in love, and he returned to Tokyo after half a month after the movie was completed, and then he thought about it in the long run, but there was still a force in his heart that involuntarily drove him.
It didn't matter if he was treated as an idiot, he followed again without hesitation.
The girl's steps were fast, and as if there was something urgent, she bypassed the Shinobi Pond and returned to Sakura Avenue along the same path.
Along the way, Jun Watanabe followed suit, but fortunately there were too many tourists and she was not noticed.
I saw her raise her hand and wave it into the distance.
"Elbow, I'm here!"
"Where have you been? Takoyaki is cold, really!" Takayama handed over her snack.
"Hee-hee!" Nanase Nishino pursed his mouth, his eyes fluttered unconsciously, his lips moved slightly, and he didn't see an obvious mouth shape, and his voice came out clearly.
"I went to the infertile pond for a while, and I forgot the time. β
"Didn't you listen to songs before? When I walked over, I didn't see you, but those two girls sang so beautifully!"
"Really?" Nanase Nishino's mind flashed to the cherry-tree-like boy, and he shook his head vigorously.
"Nanasai, what are you doing shaking your head?
"It's not...... Elbow, do you remember the boy sitting next to Mayu Yu-san in the barbecue restaurant?"
"That's a handsome boy, right, I've noticed him a long time ago, it's a handsome little guy, but he seems to be staring at you all the time, right?"
"You...... Noticed?"
"I hate the kind of boy who hooks up everywhere just because he's handsome, Nana Sai, if you meet such a boy in the future, it's best to stay away!"
"Huh?"
"You're so simple, it's easy to be deceived by that kind of good-looking boy who can talk sweetly!"
"I'm not a baka like Maya!" Nanase Nishino complained dissatisfiedly, his elbows were too underestimated!
"I'm just reminding you that handsome boys are the most unreliable!"
"You seem to be very experienced, is that before joining the group?"
"What is before entering the group, there is no thing!" Gao Shan Yimi's eyes dodged, and he suddenly pointed ahead and said:
"Mai sheep, and Sha Youli, today is really a coincidence!"
"Let's sneak over and scare them!" a sly look flashed in Nishino Nanase's eyes.
"Well, you follow me!"
The second girl sneakily followed the flow of people and walked towards the two beautiful girls in front of her, who were talking and laughing.
Jun Watanabe followed behind, watching this scene funny, but when he heard them mention Mai's name, he looked ahead, and sure enough, less than seven or eight meters away from him, there were two slender girls.
The one with the brown shawl and long hair, who occasionally turned his face sideways, was indeed Mai Shiraishi.
The flames burning in his heart were suddenly extinguished by a basin of ice water, and Jun Watanabe walked briskly through the crowd, surpassing Nanase Nishino and Takayama Ichimi, and then Mai Shiraishi and Sayuri Matsumura, and suddenly looked back at her.
Time seemed to stand still suddenly.
Close at hand, looking at her familiar and unfamiliar face, those memories sealed in the depths of memory rushed towards him like an oncoming train.
There was nowhere to hide, and it was smashed into blood-red powder.
It was as if a long time had passed, but in fact it was just a snap of a finger.
Well, everything was normal, and there was no reappearance of loss of consciousness, except for the pounding heart announcing its resistance.
A self-deprecating smile appeared at the corner of Watanabe's mouth, and the moment he looked back, he gave Nanase Nishino one last look.
Met her gaze again.
For a moment, a warm smile appeared at her.
Time and space seemed to return to its original flow speed again, and Watanabe Jun walked through the crowd with a bright smile, and the mobile phone in his trouser pocket vibrated non-stop. Not far away, Mayu Watanabe put down his phone and waved excitedly at him.
"Where have you been? I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
"I saw that old classmate, but I couldn't find it somehow, and I searched for the bathroom for a long time!"
Jun Watanabe lied, but his face was not red and his heart was not beating.
Lying in front of girls should be a gene that has been passed down from generation to generation by men.
"Here you go!" Miyawaki Sakura handed over a bottle of Suntory's oolong tea drink from the side.
"Aligado!" Jun Watanabe reached out to take it and took a large gulp.
"Look over there, that's Mai Goat!" Yulia Kisaki pointed to the back.
"Well, Sayuri and Gao SX are here!" Miyawaki Sakura looked at with some surprise.
"It seems that Jun suggested coming to Ueno Park, right?" Mayu Watanabe looked at his brother suspiciously.
There is no such coincidence!
"It seems that when I was eating, I heard Nanase Nishino say that she was coming to Ueno Park!" "Yulia Kizaki Conan possessed, and in an instant she discovered the truth of the matter.
"I'll just say it's not a coincidence!" Mayu Watanabe glanced at Watanabe Jun with a smile, and smiled hesitantly, even if Watanabe Jun was thick-skinned, he lowered his head embarrassedly at this time.
"It's not like that, you guys are thinking too much, it's just a coincidence!"
"Is it a coincidence?" Yuria Kizaki doesn't think so, because during the meal, Jun Watanabe said that his favorite female idol is Nanase Nishino.
Obviously, he decided to go to Roppongi Hill, but he suddenly proposed to go to Ueno Park farther away.
"Ah Chun, they're here, do you want my sister to do you a favor?"
Mayu Watanabe's eyes wandered, not knowing what he was thinking.
"No, it's embarrassing, don't you think?"
"Not at all, what do you say, Sakura?" Yuria Kizaki looked at Sakura Miyawaki and thought it was fun to tease Mayu's younger brother.
"Well, what?" said Miyawaki Sakura, who seemed to come back to his senses suddenly.
"Are you tired, we'll go back later!"
"Yes. Miyawaki Sakura fell a step behind the three of them, raised his head and glanced at Jun Watanabe secretly.
As if aware of this, Jun Watanabe looked back and saw that it was the calm face of Sakura Miyawaki who smiled reservedly at him.
"Kunichiva, Mai ......"
......
The two teams greeted each other, ignoring the polite greetings between the girls, and Jun Watanabe slipped silently to Nanase Nishino, unexpectedly isolated by a girl who didn't understand the amorous feelings.
Forget it, and was glared at fiercely with vigilant eyes.
Takayama Ichimi hugged Nanase Nishino and moved a few steps to the side, keeping a distance from the dangerous boy.
Jun Watanabe touched his nose and felt that he was innocent, as if he hadn't done anything excessive, right?
My Fair Lady, good gentleman, no matter if you have any love prohibition regulations in Nogizaka 46, my brother will talk about it first.
But after all, it's just thinking about it, and the impression on the first side is very important, and Jun Watanabe decided to do it slowly, and it is not appropriate to rush it.
AKB48 plus Nogizaka 46, seven beauties and one handsome man, such a lineup walked in the crowd, and the attention it attracted was huge.
Passers-by looked at each other, and needless to say, almost all of them were recognized.
"Mayouyou, see you next time!"
"Goodbye!"
The two parties waved goodbye.
However, before parting, Mai Shiraishi still asked quietly in some confusion:
"Who's that skinny tall boy?"
Mayu Watanabe had an eerie smile on his face.
"He's my brother Jun Watanabe. β
Mayu looked at her with a friendly smile.
The younger brother's appearance has changed greatly in the past two years, his height has rushed from his early 170s to 187, not only that, but his face has also grown, faded from his childishness, and some manliness has also faintly emanated from his three-dimensional facial features, like a different person.
Not to mention Mai Shiraishi, it's herself, if she hasn't seen her for two years, I'm afraid she won't recognize it easily.
"Ah Chun?" Mai Shiraishi was like a thunderbolt, and a trace of panic flashed on her face, but she immediately calmed down.
"I'll go first, goodbye!"
As she spoke, she hurriedly walked away, and the three girls beside her glanced at each other strangely, said goodbye to Ma Youyou, and chased after each other.
"Mai sheep!"
"Mai sheep, slow down, what are you doing so fast?"
......
Matsumura Sayuri chased after her and stopped in front of her.
"Mai sheep, what's wrong with you?"
......
Mai Shiraishi didn't speak, tears silently flowing down her white face.
She never cared, and she had forgotten his name, his face, the moment they met again two years later.
She didn't recognize him at all, but that inexplicable sense of familiarity, the illusion of dΓ©jΓ vu, made her ask his name.
Oh, so you're here too.
It turns out that I have never forgotten you.
