Locking the door of her room from the inside, Reina Nengnian dragged a few steps and fell on the bed.

Clutching the fluffy pillow filled with cotton, I rolled back and forth several times before I suddenly remembered something, took out my mobile phone from my pocket, found a name in the front line in the call log, and dialed it.

The phone didn't ring a few times before someone picked it up, it was a soft female voice, sounding fifteen or sixteen years old.

"Reina? Can I help you? ”

"Little love!"

On the other end of the phone was Ai Hashimoto, an actor from Sony Music. The first time the two met was at the audition site of the movie "Confession". Although they are two or three years apart, there is nothing better for two young girls who have just arrived in Tokyo from the countryside and are apprehensive because they are participating in the audition for the first time.

"Xiao Ai, are you done with your work?"

"Don't call me Xiao Ai anymore, it sounds like a schoolboy," the voice in the earpiece was a little dissatisfied, but quickly dispersed, "I just came back from the publicity venue of "Control Tower", and I am so tired to keep my expression all the time..."

"It's good to have a job..."

Nengnian Lingna muttered in a low voice, not letting her friend on the other end of the phone hear.

The audition for that film resulted in both selections. It's just that Ai Hashimoto plays an important supporting role with a lot of scenes, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she is the female number three in the whole movie; And Nengnian Rena only played a background role with no lines, and the camera only flashed by.

With the popularity of the movie "Confession", the gap between the two has widened a lot. Ai Hashimoto has become popular for her wonderful performance and the attention that the film brings, and "Control Tower" is already her second film in which she has played the lead role, as if she is regarded as the next Yui Aragaki and Masami Nagasawa-like characters. Nengnian Rena is still tossing and turning between different passerby roles.

"By the way, is there something wrong with this time?" Perhaps it was a conscious gaffe, Ai Hashimoto's tone was a little cautious.

I didn't hear this, and the melancholy that had just arisen disappeared in an instant, Neng Nian Lingna sat up from the bed, held the phone to her ear, and said, "Xiao Ai, I met someone in Dongbao last time, and I told you that, do you remember?" ”

"Pretend to be the one who helped you out of the siege by a Toho employee?"

"Hmm."

"What's wrong?"

"Today... I met him again. ”

"Huh? Is it a stalker or something? Reina, did you call the police? ”

"No, no", Nengnian Rena hurriedly waved her hand into the air, "It's when the school arranges a visit to Waseda today..."

Knowing what happened, Ai Hashimoto's tone couldn't help but be surprised.

"It's too much of a coincidence, isn't it... And then what? Did you talk to him? ”

"No", Nengnian Reina's shoulders drooped, and her upturned lips pursed slightly, "When I visited, he was surrounded by girls from the promotion class... I... I didn't dare to go up..."

"Huh~ Sounds like... It's not a Playboy type of character. ”

"I'm going to be angry if you say that again."

"Alright, alright. But apart from knowing that he was a student of Waseda, I don't know what kind of person he is just from your description. ”

Nengnian Reina thought about Qing Shui Toru's other characteristics in a muffled voice, and the persuasive voice of Ai Hashimoto in her ears continued to come.

"Even if you don't speak, it doesn't matter, right? After all, he only helped you once by chance, and it wasn't a particularly big kindness, so if you have the opportunity to meet again, thank you seriously. ”

She paused and continued, "Are you really going to look for him in Waseda?" I've heard people say that Waseda University is huge, and you can't find tens of thousands of students alone. ”

"He's a second-year in the Faculty of Letters..."

"There were hundreds of them. And college students can't stay in school every day, you have to go to school every day. ”

"That's right!" Nengnian Rena suddenly clapped her hands.

"Hey, did you hear what I just said?"

Ai Hashimoto's complaint was left behind her ears. Nengnian Rena bounced up from the bed with her hands on the edge, rummaged through the schoolbag on the table, and finally returned to the bed with something.

"When I came back from school, I stopped by and bought his books."

"Oh? Is there any information on it? ”

Hold the newly bought "Night Hiking" in your hand and look back and forth.

In addition to the title and pictures on the cover, only the words "Toru Shimizu" are noted in the corner. The title and colophon pages were just some information such as the book number and publication date, and there was no such thing as the author introduction she expected.

If anything, it's only on the spine...

"See you in the study."

"What's that?"

"The name of the publishing house. That's right, the publishing house! ”

"Huh? You're not going to go to the publishing house to find him, are you?"

Ignoring Ai Hashimoto's surprise, Nengnian Reina hurriedly turned the title page, and the address of the publishing house was listed at the bottom.

"4-12-8 Sage 12-8 SSU Building, Sendaiya, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo... Northeast of Kitasando Station..."

"It's rare for a writer to appear in a publishing house, right? According to people in the office, some writers don't go to the publishing house once a year... Reina, are you listening? ”

"Wait a minute!"

Unable to distract from the extra thoughts, Nengnian Rena suddenly got up and found the map of Tokyo that she had bought when she first went to Beijing from the deepest part of the cabinet. Although it is a little old, the exact location is still accurate.

"Kitasando... If I'm not mistaken..."

His gaze scurried, and he finally locked on a blue mark on the map.

"Scale scale."

Thinking of what she learned in geography class, Nengnian Rena was in a hurry again.

Drawing a ruler on the map for a while, she came to a conclusion that was beyond her initial expectations.

"It's about five kilometers from the school, but it's less than two kilometers from the bakery in front of Shinjuku Station... Cycling is... Five minutes? ”

With this conclusion in mind, she felt her heart beat a little faster.

"Is it only five minutes away?"

In the mobile phone, Ai Hashimoto's voice still floated persistently.

"Although the people from the publishing house will definitely have his contact information, but if you look for it yourself, it shouldn't be given to you, there must be a reasonable reason... And when you get the contact information, are you going to meet him? It's too dangerous to say anything. ”

"Five minutes."

"What?"

"It only takes me five minutes to get to the publishing house."

"Wait, Rena, are you going to go now, are you? At this time, the publishing house should also be off work, and you can't find anyone if you go. ”

"yes..."

I didn't expect this for a while, Neng Nian Lingna's movements stagnated, and she sat on the bed.

"And are you really going to see him? After all, your status as an artist... If it were known to a weekly reporter or an office..."

"Hmm..."

Nengnian Rena leaned back, and the whole person was spread out in large characters, embedding her slender body into the bed.

Staring at the blank ceiling, Ai Hashimoto's words made her hesitate.
