"I'll go out and answer a call."

Qiu Yang stood up, walked out of the warm restaurant, and stepped into the cold wind of Hokkaido.

The day after he was separated from Asuka Saito, he accompanied Nana Hashimoto on a trip to Asahikawa as promised before - ironically, he now looks back at the decision he made, and realizes that agreeing to another girl's invitation for one girl is a hurt to both parties.

Tomorrow is Nanamin's birthday, and today Nanami Min also invited Kazuki Nishino and Mai Shiraishi to celebrate their birthday in Hokkaido in advance.

It's just that during the banquet, no matter how much he controlled his emotions, he couldn't restrain himself from thinking about Asuka.

- He agrees with every word and reason she says, and knows that it is not realistic to be together now, but he still needs time to digest this result.

Knowing that he is not in a good state, he can only seek his own space by escaping.

"-Qiu Yangsang, isn't it cold here?"

Nishino Kazuki's voice came from behind, Qiu Yang turned around and saw him push the door and walk out, he rubbed his hands when he forgot to put on his coat, and his trembling appearance was a little funny.

Coincidentally, the billboard at the opposite street corner was shining with an advertisement of his dress. The suit on the screen looks very serious, and it really can't be connected with the man in front of him now. Although he has seen the contrast of artists many times, he is still a little unaccustomed.

"Ah, Nishino-san, I just finished the phone call and was about to go in."

He subconsciously covered it up, but Kazuki Nishino smiled heartily.

"Hahaha, it's okay, although it's the first time we've met, but no matter what, we're friends now, so we don't have to be like this."

The free and easy of his predecessors made him blush a little, but he didn't expect that Nishino-san's next sentence was a straight ball that jumped out.

"-You and Nanamin, she's not together yet, are they?"

I don't know if the "friend" that Nishino said just now moved him, but he took off a lot of guards. So despite the somewhat rude questioning, he still answered.

"Hmm."

"Nanamin, she likes you, you know that."

"Yes."

"And what about Asuka?"

Qiu Yang hesitated a little, and he began to feel that this senior from Xiye had asked too much.

Seeing Qiu Yang's reaction, Nishino Kazuki smiled.

"Don't see it, I also care about Nogizaka 46, after all, my wife is a member of the Yuan, and now I have some connections in the circle, so I will know some information."

He took out a pack of cigarettes from his arms, hooked Qiu Yang's shoulders and walked towards the cigarette shop.

"—smoking?"

"I don't smoke."

Qiu Yang waved his hand, and Nishino and Shu lit one by themselves. In the smoke, he turned his face up, and he couldn't see his face clearly, and his eyes were clear, as if he was remembering.

"Don't look at me like this, when I met Mai, I was still a little-known actor with a very bad reputation, and she was already Nogizaka's face at that time."

"We have experienced a lot of ups and downs since we realized it, so I can understand you somewhat."

Qiu Yang was a little touched - people always have a similar experience, on the other hand, Nishino-san seems to have stepped on the predecessor of the ten thousand mountains, and finally had a happy ending, so he can't help but have illusions about the future of himself and Asuka.

In order to seek advice, he decided to make a confession.

"Azuka and I have broken up, just yesterday morning."

Kazuki Nishino's expression was a little surprised.

"Huh? Broke up? So decisive? ”

Qiu Yang smiled bitterly.

"It's not me who is decisive, it's her..."

Immediately afterward, he repeated Asuka Saito's words one by one.

That is, the kung fu of a cigarette, Nishino Kazuki frowned and listened to it, and patted Qiu Yang on the shoulder.

"Qiu Yangsang, I originally wanted to persuade you, but now that I have heard what Asuka meant, I am even more sure."

"Senior, please speak."

"-Forget about her first, forget about the entertainment world, and be your Dongdong college student."

After listening to this suggestion, Qiu Yang fell silent, and Nishino Kazuki was also very knowledgeable and did not say much.

He lit a second cigarette and gestured to see if he needed it.

Qiu Yang, who has never smoked, did not refuse this time.

……

……

Kazuki Nishino was driven out of the door by Mai Shiraishi, and when he inspected Qiu Yang's situation, the restaurant also turned into a conversation between the two.

"-So according to you, has he and Azuka broken up?"

"That's what he told me, Asuka, I didn't dare to ask."

"That's right..."

Although Mai Shiraishi didn't have a good impression of Qiu Yang, after witnessing his entire sadomasochistic relationship with Asuka, it did make her sympathize with Qiu Yang's situation - not to mention that now the two ended miserably, which is even more embarrassing.

If Nana Hashimoto in front of them hadn't been involved, they would have been quite like parents worried about their daughter's marriage, but now they ......

Mai Shiraishi sighed and asked.

"Nana Min, what are you going to do?"

"I don't have any plans, just let it be."

Nana Hashimoto ignored her sideburns and looked a little indifferent. It's not that she's being reckless, it's just that she's also reflecting on whether her ability to act after awakening her feelings is a little too strong, which makes the whole thing end a little bad.

"In the past, he used to come to Hokkaido frequently because of his work. Now that the project is over, this will probably be his last time in Asahikawa. In addition, the matter between him and Asuka is over, and after me and him, there is no reason to have to contact. ”

She took a sip of her drink and held her face to cheer up.

"So, I can't say what will happen after that. He's signed a contract with SME now, and if he's going to insist on getting into the entertainment world, it's not even convenient for me to have more contact with him — you know, I don't like it. ”

Although it was a relaxed look, the loss in the eyes was still seen by Mai Shiraishi.

She suddenly felt a little irritable, reached over and grabbed Nanami Hashimoto's hands, and said with a little annoyance:

"That scumbag, it's not worth Nanamin's this."

"Perhaps."

Nana Hashimoto didn't feel the body temperature coming from her hand, and felt a familiar warmth flow to the bottom of her heart.

"But Mai like you know me, it may be the relationship I experienced before, and I will always succumb to the ordinary tenderness."

She lowered her head, as if she was a little embarrassed.

"Recently, only Qiu Yang has made me feel this way. So, as long as he remains in his current state, he doesn't get contaminated with those ...... things, I still like him. ”

Mai Shiraishi was also silent, after so many years of fetters, she also knew Nanawei Hashimoto's stubbornness, and it was not easy to persuade her. Moreover, if you put aside those entanglements, Qiu Yang is indeed a suitable boyfriend candidate for Nanami Hashimoto - born in Todai, gentle temperament, and a common love of literature......

Even if these advantages are not discussed, just talk about his courage to force himself to plunge into the art circle for the sake of his beloved, which is worthy of admiration.

"Qiu Yang, Qiu Yang, why can't you be more decisive and dedicated."

She couldn't help but hate iron in her heart.

"It's okay, even if I'm really lonely and old in the end, I still have Mai."

Nana Hashimoto suddenly held Mai Shiraishi's hand with her backhand.

"Na, it's said that it's a friend forever, Mai won't regret getting married, so you can take me in when the time comes."

"Hmmm! Forever friends! ”

Mai Shiraishi looked at Nanamin's eyebrows and eyes and smiled crookedly, and her nose was a little sour.

"When the time comes, let He Shu and Qiu Yang roll together! The two of us went to live! ”

……

……

"Ahh

Nishino Kazuki, who was about to help Qiu Yang light a cigarette, suddenly sneezed loudly.

"Is Nishino-san too cold? Or let's go inside. ”

Qiu Yang was a little reluctant.

"It's okay, it's okay, let's move on."

Nishino and Tree twitched their noses, always feeling that someone was saying bad things about them.

"Ahem......" Qiu Yang, who smoked for the first time, was unsurprisingly choked.

"Hahaha, it's okay, don't force it."

Seeing him like this, Nishino and Shu also guessed in their hearts that this junior, who was a few years younger than him, was pretending to be an adult. So, I took advantage of this thing to play out.

"Actually, like tobacco, many things don't work now, not because something went wrong – it's not that the smoke is bad, it's not that your body can't bear it."

He paused and gently spit out a smoke ring, and the handsome face behind the smoke screen suddenly looked serious, which actually made Qiu Yang a little stunned.

"It's just—it's not time yet, so you don't have to force it."

"Isn't it time......" Listening to the words of his seniors, Qiu Yang was thoughtful.

"Now you, if you ask a hundred people to give you advice, they will all suggest that you break up with Azuka. She is in a critical period of her career, and you have just come to Japan, with an unstable foundation, and neither of you has the capital to fall in love. What's more, there is also the prohibition of love and the restriction of public opinion, I know the events of some time ago, presumably this, you know better than me who has experienced it. ”

"And in other words, in fact, if you miss it, you miss it, and forgive me for saying it, in my opinion, it is not very likely that you will be together in the future."

Qiu Yang lowered his head when he heard this-how could he not know what Nishino's predecessor said.

After Asuka made his statement, there was no need for him to enter the entertainment world. But if you follow the rules, when your career is really matched, a few years have passed, and the two who have not intersected will definitely drift apart.

"So, maybe I'm standing in Mai's position, there will be my selfishness, and my personal advice is to cherish the people in front of me."

Nishino and Shu snuffed out the cigarette in his hand, and by the way, he also helped Qiu Yang, who was already out of his mind, to extinguish his half, patted him on the back, and pushed him indoors.

"I'll be nosy if I say more, you can think about it yourself."

Immediately after, he scratched his nose as if he was a little embarrassed.

"To be honest, I say so much because, after hearing a lot of things about you, I personally like you as a junior - you always seem to want to handle everything gently, but in the end it is always self-defeating."

"—reminds me a little bit of myself back then."

Qiu Yang seemed to have been poked to tears all of a sudden, and his eyes began to redden.

"Today, thank you, Nishino-senpai. I'll think about it. ”

"—little things, little things."

Nishino Kazuki's back was in front and waved at him behind him. He pushed the door open, and the light in the room gave him a brilliant halo, which made him look particularly handsome.

……

"Hey, and the tree! You're smoking again! ”

In the next second, Nishino was slapped with Mai Shiraishi.

"Didn't bring Qiu Yang with you, what are you two talking about outside!"

Nanami Hashimoto also pouted with a bun face.

The handsome image vanished, and Nishino and Tree sat down and smiled at Shiraishi:

"I'm discussing with Qiu Yangsang, next time I go to Shangyinfan, do I want to sing a song "Lonely Brother" with him!"

Saying this, he winked at Nanami Hashimoto and Qiu Yang at the opposite table.

"After all, the two of us are now in sympathy with each other."
