After lingering in the office for a while, the two also left the morning study and entered the rain.

On the path near night, the rainy season dispersed the already small number of pedestrians, and Toru Shimizu looked at Reina Nengnian, who had been silent beside her, and felt that she was really a little strange today.

Did the film go wrong, or did the firm and the so-called agent say something nasty to her again?

Although several possibilities were speculated in an instant, Toru Shimizu was not sluggish enough to poke her wounds directly, and turned to other topics.

"Speaking of which, this umbrella can still be yours."

Nengnian Lingna didn't react, lowered her head, and just moved her feet mechanically, until she accidentally stepped out of the range of the umbrella, she was awakened by the cold raindrops, and raised her eyes in a panic.

"Ahh Really..."

"Haven't you noticed it after walking for so long?" Toru Shimizu complained with a smile and remembered something else, "By the way, didn't you get a role in the previous audition, how about now, have you started filming?" ”

It took her a while to answer.

"No, filming won't start until August, and recently... Just familiarize yourself with the characters. ”

After saying this, she lowered her head and hid her expression under her hair, looking preoccupied.

"That's right."

After two failed attempts in a row, Toru Shimizu gave up his intention to continue talking.

The street fell silent, only the thin sound of raindrops falling on the umbrella, feeling the silence, but Nengnian Lingna's heart became anxious: when will she be able to speak?

————

After passing the audition, I met the lovely Minami Hamabe, and spent an evening with Toru Shimizu in Ishikawa Prefecture. The good things that happened one after another made Reina Noh Nian spend a few days in a dizzy state.

However, no matter how good the memories are, they will always fade after repeated tastes. Nengnian Rena couldn't help but look forward to when she would meet Toru Shimizu again.

But more than a month has passed, and the expected meeting has not happened.

"If you wait like this, you don't see the possibility of seeing him again, right?"

In her room, Reina Nengnian was lying on the bed, staring at the snow-white ceiling, and Ai Hashimoto's voice came from the hands-free mobile phone next to her.

"If you think about it carefully, the few times you have met him with Reina are all coincidences, whether it is in Toho or in Waseda, it is already a miracle to be able to meet several times in a row..."

Even if she doesn't say this, Nengnian Rena herself knows it very well. However, there have been no auditions recently, and the school has not arranged any more visits, and even if you want to artificially create new "chance encounters", the prerequisites do not seem to exist.

With that in mind, Radio Wave brought Ai Hashimoto's advice.

"Don't you have his phone? If you want to meet, wouldn't it be nice to call him directly and ask him out? ”

"Huh?"

It seems that she never thought of this method, Neng Nian Lingna was stunned, and the whole person bounced up from the bed violently, just imagining the scene a little, and felt that the temperature of her cheeks was secretly rising.

"No, no, no, no!"

Rejecting Ai Hashimoto's proposal completely, Reina Nengnian fell back on the bed again, turned over, buried her head in the soft bed, and said in a muffled voice.

“... I can't find a reason to meet him..."

"If it's just a meeting, you don't need any formal reasons, do you?" Ai Hashimoto's voice was full of doubt.

"Just find a reason, like a dessert shop you want to go to. If he has a crush on you, it's easy to make an appointment. ”

"But that's not for sure..."

Rolling around the bed several times, Nengnian Reina stared at the ceiling, recalling the process of getting along with Toru Shimizu.

He was neither deliberately approached nor excessively distant. In general, it's all about the attitude towards ordinary friends. This conclusion made Nengnian Reina couldn't help but feel a little frustrated.

Beside it, the phone was still ringing.

"If you really want to find a reason... By the way, you have a birthday next month, how about that reason? Even if it's an ordinary friend, it's okay to be invited to a birthday party. ”

"Birthday..."

Ending the phone call with Ai Hashimoto, Nengnian Rena lay on the pillow, holding her mobile phone, thinking about a way to invite Toru Shimizu.

He may accidentally ignore the words he sends an email, and he may encounter a situation where no one answers the phone. Even if you get through, you may be prevaricated by him, or doubt the sincerity of your invitation.

In various comparisons, it is most appropriate to invite him in person.

But in this way, in order to ensure that you can meet him, you must first ask him to send an invitation, and this is not back to square one?

Nengnian Lingna suddenly felt a little depressed, buried herself in the pillow with a "hmm", and turned over on the bed for a long time, until she finished venting the shame in her heart, and then sat up suddenly.

Since you can't find any other way, it's better to go and see him directly!

After specifying the plan, he went to the morning study where he was most likely to appear, and after some waiting, he finally entered the expected state of being alone with the two.

Even if he forgot to bring an umbrella and got a little rain, it didn't matter, even if he said in front of Aya Uei that the two were just ordinary friends and made him feel a little depressed. Anyway, as long as you can say it.

"Shimizu-san..."

Hearing the whisper in his ear, Qing Shui Toru turned his head in confusion and met the gaze that Nengnian Rena had seen.

"Nengnian, what's wrong?"

But she still didn't respond, and lowered her head again, almost hitting the lamppost in front of her.

Although it was strange about her performance today, Qing Shui Toru had no intention of pursuing it, just glanced at her more, and continued to move forward with an umbrella.

Feeling that he removed his eyes, Nengnian Lingna gently stroked his chest that was beating too fast, and a sad cry flashed in his heart.

Ahh

However, the station as the destination has already appeared in front of her, and Reina Neeni only feels more anxious.

The two of them failed to muster up the courage when they were alone, and in the densely populated environment of the station, I am afraid it will be even more impossible...

Two emotions were entangled in their hearts, and in the midst of their hesitation, the two had come to the eaves of the station. Looking at Toru Shimizu who turned around and put away the umbrella, Nengnian Rena suddenly felt that now was the last chance.

"Shimizu-san!"

Unable to care about anything else, desperate to catch something, she raised her head and shouted, "You... Remember... Did we say anything around here last time? ”

Although her voice was lowered at the end, it was enough to express her feelings.

"Oh?" Toru Shimizu folded the umbrella and held it in his hand, and looked back at Reina Neng, who was tense in her body, "It's about birthdays." I remember, is your birthday next week? Happy birthday. ”

"That's... Thank you, Shimizu-san, but that's not what I want to say..."

She tilted her head, her cheeks flushed from the signal light next to her, and her words stumbled, but her eyes flashed with a light that Qing Mizutoru had never seen before.

"I... I would like to invite Shimizu-san... Come to my birthday party... May I? ”
