Chapter 31: Encounter
"- Hello everyone, first meeting, I'm... Hashimoto-san's friend Qiu Yang. ”
Qiu Yang sat on one side of the barbecue table, and there were five people in the six-person seat, only Nana Hashimoto did not accompany him and sat on his side.
……
Today is the day when Nana Hashimoto did not return from Asahikawa, and Qiu Yang also fulfilled his promise after getting the news and asked her to come out of the izakaya for a small gathering. In addition to apologizing, I also want to share my thoughts recently and seek advice from seniors and seniors in the entertainment industry.
"Okay, but I also had a few friends today, so why don't you come and eat together, let's go have a barbecue."
“…… Friend? Qiu Yang has a bad premonition in his heart, most of Hashimoto Nanawei's friends are the girls in the group, ah no, and sisters when they were active as idols before.
"You know them all." When Nana Hashimoto wrote this sentence, she felt a little strange, "It's the last time you met, Nishino-san, Shiraishi-san, and Ikuta-san." ”
"Okay......" Qiu Yang agreed a little reluctantly, how could he share his recent thoughts......
He had some headaches.
Speaking of getting to know them, we have to start from that early morning.
……
……
"Nishi, Nishino Nanase-san?"
"Yes, it's me." Nanase Nishino replied subconsciously, somewhat calming down.
After all, she is more or less a well-known actress now, and there are also things where she is accosted by some more enthusiastic fans on the way, asking for a group photo or something.
She has a little social phobia, and it has been so long since she graduated, every time she encounters something like this, she will miss the days when she used to be an idol.
- At least the fans will be very restrained, knowing that private contact is considered out of bounds. Moreover, there were more group activities during that time, and there were not so many opportunities to be alone.
However, this time the situation seems to be a little different......
The moment she turned around just now, she saw it really, and the boy's eyes in front of her were obviously hot, even more emotional than the fanatical fans she had seen before—so she was suddenly a little worried about whether it would be some kind of excesses.
But when she really looked at each other, she saw that the eagerness disappeared quickly, as if she had a strong sense of disappointment - this change she had never experienced before, and even made her a little unhappy:
What, are you so disappointed when you see me? So who were you expecting?
Then, as if frightened, the person in front of him became a little confused after calling out his name.
"Hello...? Can you hear me? After Nanase Nishino agreed, he looked at the big man with some wood, and his little hand stretched out and shook it in front of his eyes, but he didn't even blink his eyes.
What the hell is this man...... Nanase Nishino was a little confused.
"Hey——? Yes! I'm sorry..."
He woke up like a dream, and then apologized again and again in embarrassment.
"I... If you admit the wrong person, you can't say that you admit your mistake... It's just, I know Nishino-san... Oops, who doesn't know Nishino-san..."
looked at him a little incoherent for a while, and explained in a panic, as if he suddenly poked Nanasai's laughter - it seems to be an idol period, and he was suddenly cued when he was recording a show to save some time!
"You speak slowly, you speak slowly......"
Knowing that the person in front of him had no malicious intent, and he didn't seem to be a fan, Nanase Nishino also relaxed.
- She was originally a gentle and friendly person, and she thought that this boy was a little funny, so she was not in a hurry to run away.
"That's it, I'm here to find me... Friend, I just accidentally recognized Nishino-san as my friend, so I'm a little disappointed and surprised, I'm really sorry..."
"Poof..."Nanase Nishino couldn't help but laugh out loud - what! This excuse is too handy!
Seeing the sweet pigeon with crooked eyebrows and eyes up close, Qiu Yang realized why when watching various videos, everyone was frantically brushing "I will marry a pigeon!" "Nana Saigao!" And so on -- it is indeed protective, loving, and heartwarming.
It's a pity that his heart is now full of the little bird that likes to fly around, and his heart is always unfazed.
"Then this friend of yours must be very good-looking!"
Probably quietly committed some shaky bad taste, Nishino Nanase kind of wants to tease this simple brother - because she is only one brother who is bullied by her all day long, spoiling her, and her partial sister attribute is difficult to attract younger brother fans, and it feels a little fresh.
"Then you say who is better looking, me or her."
"Of course it's Aso... Of course it's my friend! Qiu Yang shook his head and said without much hesitation - if you go to cater to please at this time, won't you become a big scumbag! The pigeons are very good-looking, but they are still much worse than their own Asuka! Hum!
After saying that, as if remembering Asuka's appearance, he smiled a little silly and embarrassedly.
"What...... Can't speak! Nishino Nanase didn't care that it was a stranger he had just met, and he threatened with a small pink fist.
She is actually quite a person who recognizes life, but I don't know why, this big boy's sense of youth, just the right amount of confusion, and the innocent appearance of no thoughts at all, all make her feel a little involuntarily kind.
After all, most amateurs of the same age will be somewhat embarrassed and even have mixed desires when facing these little stars. But the big boy in front of him doesn't seem to have this mind at all, and he seems to be very accustomed to it.
- How did she know that not long after people came to neon, the friends she knew were all idols, how could there be a small wave of sayings.
When he came back to his senses, he found that the other party's eyes had been staring at his chest, and he couldn't help but be a little vigilant and ashamed. You, what are you doing! ”
"Is this painted by Nishino-san?"
He pointed to the sketchbook held on his chest, the side he had just drawn was turned out.
"Ah, is this one? Yes. ”
Admittedly in a bit of a panic, Nanase Nishino blushed a little - it turned out that he had misunderstood the meaning of the person in front of him, what were I thinking!
"Can you show me?" Ever since he discovered the painting, the boy's eyes had never taken off, as if he had been caught by his own painting. That sincere look seemed to have magic, and Nanase Nishino let the boy pull the sketchbook out of his hand.
In the huge courtyard, all that was left was the rustle of him gently flipping through the script. Nanase Nishino stared at his bony fingers, and the expression of a great contrast and unsmiling expression as he carefully flipped through his works, and was a little distracted.
Realizing the shame in hindsight, Nanase Nishino reaches out and tries to snatch the book back.
"This is the movie set design done by Nishino-san." The boy spoke suddenly, causing her outstretched hand to pause in the air. She widened her eyes in surprise - she originally thought that the simple boy in front of her would flatter at most two clichés such as "the painting is good", but she didn't expect that he was not very old and could see her leisure hobbies at a glance.
In the past few years after graduation, Nanase Nishino's habit of liking painting has been retained, and the development of his career has also exposed him to the vast film and television industry outside the idol circle, and there is also a lot of room for development - painting some simple scenes is one of her recent hobbies.
"Huh? How do you know...? ”
"Ah, I'm sorry, I just looked at it myself," the boy apologized a little sluggishly, "because I'm a landscape architect, and I care a lot about this kind of spatial scene." ”
"I just saw this painting - it's the Yakushido in front of me, but there is a slight difference in atmosphere, presumably Nishino-san did it intentionally."
"Later, when I looked through your other works, I was even more convinced. Because I studied design myself, I am particularly sensitive to these subtle designs. ”
"Look here," he said, pulling out a pen from nowhere.
"I just drew it! Like this bamboo, if you can draw it a little more... Is it possible to set off the environment more deeply? You can block the heroine in this scene a little bit, doesn't it make her seem even more lonely...? Of course I guessed, Nishino-san, you want to show that she's lonely, right? ”
……
……
After all the chatter was changed, Qiu Yang realized that he and Nanase Nishino didn't know when they were on the same side. Because she was too focused on watching herself redraw, her head poked in front of her eyes, and she could smell the good smell...
Looking closely, Nishino-san's eyebrows and eyes do have a good-looking arc, and his focused appearance is also extraordinarily serious and stubborn.
"There is a light of determination in the eyes." A comment suddenly occurred to him.
"Sins, sins—" He silently muttered Asuka's name in his mind as he quietly distanced himself.
"I'm sorry, but I was rude, an occupational disease, and I changed so much unconsciously...... It seems a little disrespectful......"
He scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed, he was always so reckless, and he couldn't control what he was interested in.
"Whew-" He heard Nanase Nishino breathe a long sigh of relief, withdrew his gaze from the drawing book, and suddenly looked up and looked into his eyes with great sincerity, and there was really excitement in his eyes.
"I think you're too powerful! I really learned a lot! The title has changed unconsciously.
"Not really... It's just that I'm from a professional class..."Qiu Yang scratched his head a little shyly as he was praised, "Nishino-san's design is already very thoughtful, and I think I have also gained a lot of inspiration." ”
This is not polite, as a layman, the design of several small space scenes of Nanase Nishino looks really aura, and the idea is also very special.
As if remembering something, he asked casually, "Isn't Nishino-san an an actress?" How did you come up with such a professional scene design? ”
Unexpectedly, this question suddenly made Nishino Nanase hang his head and look thoughtful.
"Huh...... I just asked casually, and it doesn't matter if I don't answer! Qiu Yang felt that he was a little nosy.
"No, no... I just haven't figured out what to say..."
Nanase Nishino's voice gradually lowered, and he looked confused, tilting his head and trying to think.
"Maybe you want to get involved in the field behind the scenes? It may also be that you want to understand how some of the scene designs behind the scenes are drawn, which is also helpful for acting. ”
"I see...... Qiu Yang actually doesn't understand much, he only has a sensitive sense of smell for space, and he really doesn't understand film and television things.
I suddenly reacted and talked for so long, and I haven't introduced myself yet.
"That...... My name is Qiu Yang and I am an international student from China. He scratched his head and introduced himself with some embarrassment.
"Huh?? Students?? I can't see it at all! Nanase Nishino caged his mouth in surprise.
Immediately afterwards, she also took off the mask she had been wearing, revealing her white front teeth, squinting and smiling slightly, while stretching out her hand.
"My name is Nanase Nishino, and I'm an actress - but now I'm your student, Mr. Qiu Yang."
She knew that the boy was younger than herself, and she deliberately teased him with some evil intentions.
Sure enough, Qiu Yang was suddenly red-faced, rubbed his hand on the down jacket before reaching out, shook it gently as a sign of politeness, and quickly dispersed.
"Sin, sin—" he thought to himself, going back today to add some points to his punishment.
Nanase Nishino was a little surprised, he shook hands more before. In the face of his own handshake, such a one-touch restraint and conservatism is indeed a bit rare.
"This brother is really interesting." She thought to herself.
Qiu Yang was thinking about how to end the topic, when he was suddenly hit on the back of his head by a large ball of snow, and several streams of snow seeped into his neck, making him shiver.
"—Nanasa! Come on! I've hit this pervert! ”
A clear and high-pitched female voice came from behind, Qiu Yang turned his head and hit the second ball of snow head-on.
In a little dizzy, he saw a long-haired girl, somewhat disoriented, collecting snow from the stone slab next to her, and smashing it at him in a steady stream.
A figure in a white down jacket stood to the side, as if dialing a cell phone.
"Don't call the police—misunderstanding—"
Before Qiu Yang could convey his voice, he was attacked by a third shot.
