Chapter 56: Ten Thousand Mountains

"Asuka... What did you say...? ”

Qiu Yang spit out these syllables with some difficulty, and although he had an inexplicable premonition before, he still felt a little black in front of him.

"I said, let's break up."

Asuka Saito repeated, his tone a little more firm.

"I ...... Can you ask the reason? ”

"Reason..."

Asuka Saito tilted her head, her eyes wide and blinked, pretending to be relaxed - in fact, she seemed to have been trying to make the atmosphere less heavy all the time from the beginning.

"Yang-chan, have you seen the hot search now? It's just that group.。 ”

Qiu Yang reacted at this time, he was just interrupted by Nana Hashimoto, and he hadn't seen the specific content of the hot search and the reactions of netizens.

"Not yet, I'll take a look now."

He took out his mobile phone before clicking on the hot search entry, but the screen was blocked by Xiaoniao's small hand.

"-Don't look at it if you don't see it."

The bird's voice was a little muffled.

"There's nothing to see anyway."

It's a pity that the bird's hand is too small, and Qiu Yang still sees a few words between his fingers.

- "Hype", "Fraud", "Suspicion"......

He brushed the bird's hand away and glanced cursoryly at the comments. Unlike the last hot search, this time the trend of public opinion seems to have turned to the other side.

Some of them suspected that it was a performance, hype, and questioned the authenticity of the bird's reaction - Qiu Yang also knew that after seeing his VTR, the management of Asuka's expression and emotions seemed to have failed, which was originally a good show effect, but after the Wenchun incident, it seemed very deliberate.

"-Saito-san is worthy of being an idol with actress experience, obviously he is an acquaintance, but he can still pretend to be moved, and the level of hype is handsome."

Others who believe in authenticity doubt whether the relationship between the two is really as Wenchun said, violating the norms that idols should abide by.

"——Look at the tears in Asuka's eyes, and the love that can't be hidden, it's clear that you see the lover's expression, right? Thinking about it this way, is it a rare real hammer in Wenchun? Isn't it possible to explain the operation yet? ”

In the midst of most doubts, there are still some people who speak for them, although they may be careful to maintain the image of their inner idol, but they do make Qiu Yang's brows stretch a little.

- Asuka, she was so surprised and moved, doesn't it just show that the Wenchun incident is nothing? They might just be strangers. ”

“……”

"Have you finished reading?"

Qiu Yang turned off the screen with some complicated feelings, nodded, and spoke with some difficulty.

"So, is Asuka going to break up with me because of the pressure of public opinion and operations?"

Seeing that Azuka was silent, he almost wanted to tell her that he and she were already in the same door. - Tell her that they can be contacted in public, and even if they are discovered, their identities will be revealed in a big deal, and it is presumably an exchange of experience between the senior sister and the younger brother.

"If that's the case... There are many more ways to do it. Like turning into an underground romance? Anyway, now that I know Asuka's contact information, I can also change to a new mobile phone number, and it won't be discovered by the operation. ”

"Also, I can stop taking the fan groups related to Azuka. I used to have a chance to meet you, but now if I have a personal connection, I don't need that, we just need to keep in touch - even if we don't even see each other! ”

Qiu Yang's brain was running rapidly, constantly throwing out possible solutions, in his opinion, as long as the two people still love each other, and now that they have met, there will always be a way.

"Or, or ......"

"-Yo-chan, needless to say, no."

Asuka Saito suddenly spoke up, interrupting Qiu Yang, who was already a little panicked.

“…… What isn't? ”

"It's not the pressure to run them, and it has nothing to do with public opinion."

Asuka Saito's eyes narrowed, the corners of his mouth rising as best he could, but the two lines of tears still slipped uncontrollably.

"It's Asuka that I want to break up with."

……

Compared to the sentence just now, this sentence was more like a hammer that stunned Qiu Yang.

But he suddenly had some understanding - after all, they had only been in love for three days, and the days they got along day and night were only three or four months. This meager emotional foundation can't be maintained for too long.

The little bird in front of him rubbed his eyes, lowered his head and continued.

"On the one hand, the impact of public opinion this time is really bad, plus at this juncture, the operation inexplicably gave me this c position, although Konno-san hasn't said anything yet, I have to think about the team myself, right? After working more, I didn't have the heart or need to take the risk to fall in love underground. ”

"—On the other hand, Azuka, I'm tired."

She shook her head and smiled a little sadly.

"Sometimes I feel that as long as there is love, I can hold on to anything, but the sauce will always disappoint me; But sometimes I tell myself to forget about you, it's impossible, Yo-chan always appears out of nowhere, singing again, and acting in a group, which messes up Azuka's heart. ”

"It's been like this for almost two months, so that I don't have the heart to do my own thing, and the whole person is in a bad state."

Qiu Yang listened to Xiao Bird's calm accusation, and at the same time, he was distressed, but also a little speechless - while he was accompanied by a group of partners such as Nana Min and Brother Cang Zhen, Xiao Bird was isolated and helpless, and he couldn't understand what it was like.

"Actually, Asuka also knows this, and there is nothing you can do about it, after all, we can't get in touch with it."

Asuka Saito took another sip of beer, as if it would take more courage to say the next words, but suddenly it became bitter and bitter, as if choking and coughing.

Qiu Yang wanted to stand up and go to the other side to help her pat her on the back, just like she missed before, but was stopped by the little bird waving her hand.

"Ahem...... However, the most unacceptable thing for me is the matter of Nanamin. ”

As soon as Qiu Yang heard the name of Nanami Hashimoto, he was also deflated. It's been a few days since Valentine's Day, and he still hasn't figured out how to face this matter, and he's still "procrastinating" as always.

But now, it seems that there is one more person who makes him stand out.

"Actually, when I first knew that Nanami knew Yo-chan, I had a bad premonition...... But at that time, I thought that it was just that Nanami had a good impression of Yang-chan, and Asuka was close to the water and got the moon first, and Nanami couldn't snatch it. ”

The little bird pulled out a wry smile, a little helpless.

"At first, it was true, but later, I didn't expect it to be reversed."

"When I saw Yo-chan again, I imagined so many scenarios, but I didn't expect it to be when you and Nanami were dating."

"Asuka, I'm ......"

Qiu Yang opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to explain, and Xiao Bird's next sentence made him speechless.

"-So on Valentine's Day, Yo-chan is the same, with Nanamin?"

Asuka Saito looked straight at him, his eyes like a torch.

Mixed emotions are intertwined—the surprise of knowing that she really came to find herself that day, and the joy of knowing that she still can't worry about herself at that time.

Of course, the most is regret.

- Obviously Asuka came to her for the holiday so late, but she betrayed her and disappointed her. If he hadn't left that day, the reunion scene wouldn't have been so embarrassing.

It's a pity that there is no if, and everything is to blame.

Qiu Yang's long silence seemed to make Saito Asuka relieved. She asked with a soft sigh as if in final confirmation.

"So, does Yo-chan still like me?"

"—of course I like it."

Finally had the opportunity to express his emotions, and Qiu Yang quickly spoke.

"I've always liked it, I assured Asuka of that. From participating in the idol department to entering the entertainment industry, in fact, you know that I don't like it at all and don't want to, but I'm willing to do it for the sake of Asuka. ”

"So even if Azuka cheated me a little bit, I still like Azuka the most, and that will never change."

As if it had been warmed for the first time in a long time, Asuka Saito smiled from the bottom of his heart for the first time, which made Qiu Yang a little distracted.

But the next sentence interrupted a lot of sincerity that he wanted to confide.

"-So, what about Nanamin?"

He was speechless again—what could he say? Said that Nanami confessed to him, and he is still wavering? But he was still eagerly confessing to the bird last second, which is inevitably too scumbag.

"It's okay, it's okay to say you like it."

As if she had been mentally prepared for a long time, the little bird gently put her hand on Qiu Yang's hand on the table, Qiu Yang wanted to hold it with her hand, but she slapped it away.

"After all, Nanami is so good, smart and super sensible...... I also like Nana Min the most, and it's normal for Yo-chan to like it......"

After all, the laughter of the strong face was still no match for the grievances in his heart, and Asuka Saito's voice gradually lowered.

"It's just, it's just possible, Nanami can accept it, unconditionally accompany someone else's boyfriend, but Asuka, I can't, I'm not the second female in the harem novel, I can't accept this."

Although he looked like he was about to cry again, Asuka Saito's tone was very firm.

"I've never been in a relationship before, and the first experience that Yo-chan gave me really made me very happy and happy, and that's why I don't want to lower my standards so quickly."

"So, even if Yo-chan says that he likes me the most, I don't doubt that at all, but Azuka still decided to break up. All the objective reasons before were secondary, and before Yo-chan figured out Nanamin's matter, this matter was not negotiable. ”

Asuka Saito's words actually have a little bit of his own caution - this can be regarded as a small "forced palace", which makes Qiu Yang face his feelings more seriously.

- Just seeing Qiu Yang, who was still silent after listening to so many of her words, she realized that she might have underestimated Nanamin's influence.

"Actually, Asuka, I've always owed Yo-chan an apology, and I also hid it before. So in fact, the foreign sauce may not be all of me......"

As he spoke, it seemed as if tears were about to fall again.

So so, it's okay to separate first, don't meet, there's nothing to do. You are your proud son, and I don't have to compromise with each other in my art world. ”

Qiu Yang wanted to say something to redeem Asuka, but he was also really, and he couldn't say the promise that he would not break off diplomatic relations with Nana Hashimoto.

Even if he is facing the little bird now, he doesn't know how to face the two of them after today.

"Asuka, I'm sorry..."

All the entanglements ended up with only one apology left - he wondered with some sadness whether he was really just a scumbag who squandered his kindness, and everyone suffered together.

"It's okay."

Although he was hurt by him, Asuka Saito suddenly smiled with relief and continued to comfort him.

"Actually, when I walked into an izakaya today and saw that, I felt that Azuka was enough."

She pointed to Qiu Yang's chest, and he lowered his head, it was the wooden pendant.

When I looked up, I saw that the little bird also took out the small pendant from his sweater, and waved it playfully at him, his eyes were still a little swollen, but he was smiling like a flower.

The lamb motif engraved on the pendant is particularly dazzling at the moment.

……

……

"So, goodbye?"

Outside the izakaya door, Asuka Saito and Qiu Yang stood side by side, she turned sideways to distance herself a little, and waved her hand playfully.

"The next time I see Yang-chan, I wonder if it will be a well-known cross-border architect!"

Looking at Asuka, who was standing on one foot and shaking his calves, and had room for fun, Qiu Yang only felt distressed to the point that it was difficult to breathe.

Rarely, he decided to make a decisive decision.

"Whew!"

A coquettish hum was rubbed in his arms, and it also crushed Saito Asuka's pretense of relaxation, Qiu Yang felt that his chest seemed to be starting to get wet.

"Are you looking forward to me saying that in the future, when we meet again, it will be Asuka-san Saito?"

Qiu Yang seemed to be whispering to Asuka, as if he was hypnotizing himself.

"Although, that's all there is to it, Azuka will always be Asuka."

After a long time, I heard a muffled snort.

"Hmm."

The two figures under the street lamp were very close, but only the two of them knew, and in the distance where the sound of breathing was faintly audible, their respective roads ahead were already separated by mountains.

"We'll see you again."

Qiu Yang let go of his hand, and his soft words seemed to be after the full stop of the story, and several more periods were continued.
