Chapter 140: The Happiness of Others
"Dut...... Honk...... Toot ......"
"-Smack."
Another moment of waking up in a daze, the girl stretched out her arm from the quilt with difficulty, fumbling with the vibrating mobile phone that disturbed her dreams. But one of them fell to the ground, and shouted even more arrogantly.
"Who! It's really ......."
Asuka Saito poked her head out of the quilt with an irritated expression, her hair messy, as if she had just returned to civilization from the wilderness.
- What time is it? What day of the week is today? How many days are left until the time limit? She didn't know what to ask, after all, she had been so depressed for almost a week and hadn't gone out.
Picking up the screen, unexpectedly, it was a call from Shinoda Aojin, who had just been added.
“…… Feed? Shinoda-san, what's the matter? ”
"—Asuka-chan, are you still in London? Would you like to come out with us? ”
“…… Huh? Why? ”
Asuka Saito pinched his face and subconsciously asked - shouldn't he be dreaming? What kind of wind is Shinoda-san blowing? Good two people on a date, why don't you bring your own light bulb?
"Okay, it may sound a little sudden, but we want to go to a Michelin-starred restaurant here, and the tables for two people are out of order, and it takes three people to book, so I can only trouble you."
I see...... Asuka Saito felt that it made sense - if there was no reason to take advantage of her, she would not be at ease. She always thinks so pessimistically, maybe others will think it is strange, right?
"That ......"
Even though it's to make a light bulb, after all...... It is delicious. Almost only after hesitating for three seconds, she asked tentatively.
"Is Shinoda-san in a treat......?"
“……”
The other party seemed to be choked by her sudden uprightness, and hesitated for a moment before taking over.
“…… Please、Please ”
……
……
"—The appointment came out, and as you said, there must be some reasons that seem rude."
"-But I guess I'm going to break the bank, is there any reimbursement?"
Looking at the two messages sent by Shinoda, Qiu Yang relaxed a little.
"-Qiu Yang-san, have you been in contact with Saito-san lately?"
Yesterday, at the end of the conversation, Yoshio Konno asked as if he was tentative.
"No, don't say I didn't try, even if I did, you wouldn't let me get in touch, right?"
This time he didn't lie, and he was naturally justified.
"That's ......"
Konno's thoughtful look made him suddenly feel a little uneasy.
"We seem to have lost contact with her......
……
His face remained calm, but as soon as he stepped out of the door of the conference room, he hurriedly called Shinoda on the back foot, asking him to confirm Azuka's situation.
Now that he received the reply, the stone hanging high in his heart fell to the ground—now that he thinks about it, could it be the way of the old thief of Konno? He's testing me??
However, after only having time to glance at the message, Qiu Yang put the phone back in his pocket - not because he was unwilling to reimburse, but because of the current situation, it was really inconvenient to reply.
—This uncle...... I want to ask, where is Kenta's wedding going......? ”
Before he took back his mobile phone, Qiu Yang felt that the hem of his shirt was pulled, followed by a clear children's voice.
Turning around, it was a little girl carved in pink, staring generously into his eyes and asking questions.
Amused a little helplessly by Tong Yan Wuji, he squatted down and said kindly, his tone was as gentle as possible.
"Little friend, first of all, I'm not an uncle, I'm about the same age as your brother Kenta, you should call me brother. Secondly, Kenta's brother's wedding went over there. ”
"-Yes uncle!"
With a crisp answer, she turned and walked inside.
“…… This kid ......"
Looking at the little girl looking like a cute little bully who does whatever she wants, Qiu Yang shook his head helplessly - his task today is to be guided by Nana Hashimoto on the way to the hotel lobby and box. After each guest meets the bride and groom, they can also meet Nanami along the way, and then he will be him.
Thanks to this job, he also met many relatives on Nanami's side.
"-Ah, Koharu, don't run around!"
The woman's cry was heard from afar, most likely the little girl's mother, right? Qiu Yang stood up and saw a woman carrying a large bag stumbling over, and hurriedly greeted her.
"Don't worry, if you're talking about a little girl with a double ponytail, I've already let her go inside."
"I'm sorry to cause you trouble."
Getting closer, Qiu Yang realized that the woman's eyebrows and eyes were not somewhat similar to Nana Hashimoto.
And the woman looked at him and hesitated to ask.
"—You're ...... Nana Min's boyfriend? ”
Seeing Qiu Yang nodding in acknowledgement, she grabbed his hand with a little excitement.
"-My Nanami will ask you."
“…… Ah, yes, I will. ”
When she separated from him and walked into the infield, she was still muttering "Why do you think the young man is a little familiar......".
Qiu Yang wiped his sweat a little embarrassed - he had experienced a situation like this many times today.
It's just that the "face" like this is quite light, and some young people who recognize him start asking for autographs in surprise to take a group photo, and some ask him when he will release the single...... Fortunately, as a relationship with Nanami Hashimoto, they also have a sense of privacy protection.
There were even many elders who recognized him, patted him on the shoulder, and said something to make him reluctantly return to his family—and he had to firmly promise.
"-Yo-chan, it turns out that you were sent to stand guard here, I said why didn't you stay with Nanamin......"
In the distance, it was Nishino and Kazuki who walked over - he knew in advance about the attendance of the two, Nana Hashimoto only invited a few acquaintances in the circle, and Kazuki Nishino was still invited as Kenta Hashimoto's idol.
"Kazuki seniors、Shiraishi-san, welcome."
"Hahaha, aren't you very like the male host of the Hashimoto family!"
Kazuki Nishino laughed loudly, and Mai Shiraishi saw his presence on this occasion, and her expression softened slightly.
"—I'm sorry about what happened last time."
Seeing that he suddenly lowered his voice and leaned into his ear, Qiu Yang realized that he was mostly talking about "In the Fortifications of Nogizaka", but he obviously knew about it but did not discuss it with him in advance.
"It's okay, seniors...... There are your rules, I understand. ”
He deliberately bit the word "you" harder, and Nishino and Tree obviously noticed. He was stunned for a moment, and then looked at him deeply.
"Then we'll take our leave."
Regaining his relaxed, slightly cynical expression, he waved his hand and walked inside.
After Nishino and Shu left, Qiu Yang didn't know how long he had been standing. When it comes to physical exhaustion, he doesn't feel as tired as dealing with the problems of relatives and friends - but it can be regarded as a large area of face brushing.
There were fewer people, and finally, the bride and groom's family came from the lobby.
“…… Yang, I've worked hard for you today. ”
In the distance, Nanami Hashimoto waved at him and shouted, and Mrs. Hashimoto on the side also had a satisfied and proud smile on her face—even a little bit of showing off her son-in-law to her in-laws in advance.
"-Brother Qiu Yang, thank you for coming."
Kenta Hashimoto also hugged Qiu Yang - although the two have been in the same bed for a long time, maybe they attended his wedding today and did their best for it, Kenta Hashimoto accepted him in his heart, and his title changed.
This thank-you is half a thank you for attending, and half is a request of "I'll hand over my sister to you".
"- Kentaijun, happy newlywed, I wish you a long old age."
"Of course."
Kenta Hashimoto listened to his blessing and glanced at Miri, who was wearing a white gauze skirt beside him, and the sweet bubbles overflowed.
Qiu Yang was also infected by this happiness of others, and naturally, he set his eyes in the direction of Nanami Hashimoto - however, his eyes only touched slightly, and the other party faintly looked away.
It was too late to wonder, and he hurriedly sat down at the main table behind the bride and groom, a relative of the Hashimoto family, and he became the only male.
"Nana Min ......"
After taking his seat, he watched Kenta and the two of them walk onto the stage - a god-style wedding, with a rather complicated set of etiquette, which seemed quite sacred. In such a quiet atmosphere, he didn't dare to speak loudly, so he could only call the name of Nanami Hashimoto softly in a breath.
“…… What's wrong with you? It's been a bit strange for both days. ”
“……”
I don't know if I didn't hear it or what, Nanami didn't respond to him. He just thought it was his first time attending a Japanese wedding, maybe he broke the rules, so he kept silent.
"-Yang, I ask you."
The newlyweds on the stage drank the first glass of wine, and the guests from all parties applauded one after another, and there was a joyful atmosphere. And in such an atmosphere, Nana Hashimoto said softly.
“…… On the day of the summer festival, did you hide anything from me? ”
……
……
"—This wine is a Riesling from Rheinhessen, Germany, and this Bretanian blue lobster."
The waiter on the side kept changing the plates and sake as if they were playing a trick, and the Saito Asuka was dazzled.
She chewed on the carefully cooked, but it was not too much lobster meat, and after a sip of wine, her head began to get dizzy, and she suddenly regretted that she had come to make up this game.
She doesn't know French food; I can't drink the difference between this wine with a variety of names and a long one; When it comes to a favorite dish, there is no way to "have another one" like a family restaurant.
- Well, maybe she could, but she wasn't too embarrassed to open her mouth.
"-Non-chan, what do you think of this lobster?"
"Crushed almonds are the finishing touch, but I feel like the sauce is too sour."
"Really? I think the sweetness of this pairing is a lot more neutralized. ”
"Hahaha, after all, Cangzhen, you eat sweet......"
“……”
Watching the two people in front of her delicately cut up the lobster meat, which was already small, and then put it in their mouths in an unimaginably elegant way, and then said a dialogue that she couldn't understand at all - chopped almonds? Does it smell like almonds? Asuka Saito suddenly had a feeling that "these two people are a match made in heaven in a sense."
"Kakki-chan, your chances are really not too big......"
She thought with a little pity.
"—what does Asuka think?"
The conversation was suddenly thrown to herself, probably because she was immersed in her hardship, and she didn't want to snub her. It caught the little bird, who was eating the dog food in a daze, off guard.
"Ah, I, I think ......"
After holding it for a long time, the most unpretentious food comment came out.
"Azuka, I...... I think it's delicious......"
"Hahahaha......"
Both laughed without malice. Especially Nengnian Rena, she can't wait to go over and pinch her red and bloody face - it turns out that she and Asuka Saito have never met, they just match each other's names. But now, she is the most resistant to cute girls, and she has completely fallen at this time.
"Azuka-chan, it's so cute, isn't it? I really don't know which one will be cheaper in the future......"
Having said this, she suddenly recalled the affair that Shinoda had made up for him in the past two days, Qiu Yang and the girl in front of her, and hurriedly stopped the conversation—but it was too late, and the air was already silent and embarrassed.
"-Qiu Yang, you can really do it."
Knowing that she was speechless, Nengnian Lingna hatefully forked a piece of lobster meat, making a slightly rude and sharp sound.
Asuka Saito lowered his head and pulled the chopped almonds on the plate back and forth with his knife - it turned out that there were really chopped almonds......
"—the ......"
Seeing that the two of them were silent, Shinoda tried to make amends and diverted the topic - it just so happened that he also wanted to inquire about something.
“…… Azukasan, do you have any plans for the future? How long has it been in London? ”
"Haven't thought ...... yet"
The bird swayed, looking a little sullen.
"-maybe, I'll change places after a while."
She looked out the floor-to-ceiling window at the sky, her eyes glittering with the light of a caged bird.
