Chapter Seventy-Five: The Buffet
"Brother Qiu Yang...... I'm a bit ......"
Hayakawa Shenglai held Qiu Yang's arm tightly, so cramped that he stumbled a little when he spoke. Originally, I was quite happy to be asked out by Qiu Yang to be my female companion, but I didn't expect it to be such an "adult" occasion. In order to attend decently, Qiu Yang even took her to buy more formal clothes.
"I'm sorry, but bear with me a little longer."
Qiu Yang is also a little unaccustomed to such an occasion, but after all, there is Hayakawa, who is more panicked than himself, present, and he can't show his timidity.
After saying hello to Matsu himself just now, he was introduced in front of a group of quasi-big artists such as Hamada Masako and Hiromi, and after that, he had no time to take care of him, and the meaning was very clear - I will help you here, and it will be up to you personally from now on.
So the two of them were embarrassed like this, and everyone around them was chatting in groups, only the two of them were alone.
Hayakawa would look in the direction of the exit almost every three minutes, blinking at him pitifully. But he felt that it was nothing to lose face and run away as soon as he participated. The main reason is that Matsumoto-san is not easy to explain - I invite you to come, and you will leave in ten minutes?
Considering this, he still planned to wronged Hayakawa and himself, and stayed for a while. Feeling guilty, he had already begun to think about what to treat her to eat to make up for it.
"—Huh? Qiu Yangsang? ”
Someone behind him suddenly called his name, which made Qiu Yang feel excited,
Looking back, it turned out to be ...... Okura Tadayoshi San, waving his hand to himself.
"Here!"
Now in this situation, meeting acquaintances is really a savior.
Although, I don't know why he can remember himself who is just a one-sided relationship, Qiu Yang still didn't hesitate to take Hayakawa Shenglai with him, and walked towards Okura Tadayoshi's group - there were still members of their group standing beside him, and several of them were also with female companions, very lively.
"It's been a long time, but it was in my shop last time, right?"
When Okura Tadayoshi said this, his eyes glanced at Hayakawa as if he were nothing, with a little urgency in his eyes, and while chatting like this, he skillfully hooked a young and beautiful female companion, obviously treating Qiu Yang as a kind of person.
"Hmm."
Subconsciously, Qiu Yang pulled Hayakawa closer and responded perfunctorily.
"Speaking of which, does Okura-san remember me?"
"Hahahaha, I've always had a good memory, didn't I recognize Hashimoto-san last time?"
It seems that he deliberately said it to Hayakawa Shenglai, and he also added an accent to the words Hashimoto-san.
"What's more, Qiu Yangsang was quite a topic some time ago."
Okura-san laughed. These are all members of the same group, and I also watched your red and white performances, which is great. ”
One sentence was sunk into the sea, and together with Okura Tadayoshi, several members with female companions were whispering and biting their ears, which suddenly made Qiu Yang a little embarrassed.
"—Thank you so much, Qiu ...... Yangsang? support. ”
The only one who answered was a lone man, with half-length curly hair and sunglasses, who seemed to struggle to read his name in thanks.
"My name is Akidai Yasuda, and we are meeting for the first time."
Qiu Yang suddenly had a good impression of this middle-aged man who was not tall, and always felt that he had a kind of purity that was rare in the art industry. After a few conversations, I found that he was a very friendly and gentle person.
"-So, it turns out that you are a guest of Matsumoto-san, very powerful!"
"—Huh? Is Todai still in the entertainment industry? Sorry, I'm not well-informed. ”
"Our team's base camp is in Osaka, and we know most of the people at this event."
- Is Hayakawa-sama also from Osaka? Eh...... I'm honored to have such a beautiful fellow countryman. ”
The atmosphere of small talk also made Qiu Yang gradually relax, and together with Hayakawa, he slightly let go of the hand that was holding him painfully.
"It's a rare opportunity, why don't I take you to get to know our juniors, maybe your peers are more comfortable."
The men and women around them began to move their hands and feet imperceptibly, as if they couldn't stay in the atmosphere that was gradually becoming ambiguous here, Yasuda Shodai offered to take them to another place to chat.
"Then it's troublesome Yasuda-san."
"No, no, no trouble." Yasuda didn't take two steps and beckoned directly to the other side. "Ziyao, Lian! Come here. ”
……
……
Nanase Nishino is now in a dilemma.
"Nishino-san, let me introduce you, this is the investor of this film, the representative of Mitsubishi Jido, Sato-san."
The producer clearly grinned and introduced her to a greasy man with a big belly.
"Hello Sato-san."
She greeted lightly and subconsciously took a step back.
"Hello Nishino-san, it's as beautiful as it was rumored."
Sato didn't seem to see the half-step back, leaned forward, and looked at her from head to toe with a very uncomfortable look, making her want to retch.
Seriously, she really didn't want to come to this inexplicable cold lunch, obviously there was a lot of backlog in Tokyo because of the previous vacation, and the producer Sang said that he would bring her to Osaka for everything.
"——This movie is an important turning point that can take your career to the next level, and whether you can become a domestic actress or not is likely to depend on this step!"
Producer Sang's words are very bluffing, but I have to admit that it does make her very excited. What's more, it was the investor who wanted to see her by name, maybe he wanted to review the casting, and he had no reason to shirk it.
But now, looking at Sato's disgusting look with moist eyes, she somewhat understands the producer's intentions. She looked at the agent Sang on the side, and also turned her head to acquiesce, only feeling desolate.
- Either compromise or you give up.
"I don't know if Miss Nishino will be able to have a drink with me in a moment? Let's talk a little bit more about the film. ”
Sato handed over the business card with one hand somewhat arrogantly, but to his surprise, Nanase Nishino did not answer.
"I'm sorry, Sato-san, I may not be available tomorrow. Let me reconfirm the itinerary. ”
Sensing Nishino Nanase's retreat, Sato didn't seem to be annoyed as expected, but just dropped the sentence "Nishino-san think about it", handed the business card to the producer, and stood aside with his arms crossed.
"-Nishino-san, don't be confused, something that can be solved with just one meal, don't you want this opportunity!"
Comprehending Sato's meaning, the producer stuffed the business card into Nanase Nishino's arms, and persuaded him with some "hatred of iron does not make steel".
Nanase Nishino was silent. Similar unspoken rules have not been encountered in her career for more than ten years, but it is the first time to invite them naked like this.
- Maybe this is the price that is necessary to go further? She suddenly thought with some sadness.
Seeing that Nanase Nishino didn't react, Sato only acquiesced, and reached out to pull her to his side. The moment he could touch the snow-white lotus arm, Nishino jumped away as if he had been electrocuted.
"Hug, I'm sorry, my stomach is not very well, so I will miss it first."
As if sensing Sato's vague anger, she still chose to apologize humbly, bowed and hurriedly retreated.
……
……
"—Huh? Is Qiu Yangsang Chinese? ”
"What, Zi Yao, how off-line are you, he said it when he introduced himself as soon as he came up......
"But I speak really good Japanese! I forgot about it while chatting! ”
"What the hell......"
Under the introduction of Yasuda Shodai, Qiu Yang met Hirano Shiyao-san and Nagase Ryo-san, both of whom were born in Kansai and now belong to the King&Prince group under Genesys.
Among the two people, Hirano is a simple Yaga, and Nagase is like a spit in Mancai, always giving complaints accurately, making Qiu Yang and Hayakawa giggle.
"-Sure enough, I'm still comfortable with my peers."
Qiu Yang thought from the bottom of his heart.
"Speaking of which, Qiu Yangsang is also making an idol, right? Although it's on campus, I've seen it before. ”
Hirano Ziyao suddenly mentioned this topic, and couldn't wait for Qiu Yang to deny "I won't do it in the future", so he invited with interest.
"Why don't you dance our tracks next time? Or how about I wear a mask and play with you! ”
"What kind of mask are you wearing, no one knows you when you wear it, you think you are Nishino and Shusan!"
"- Hey! Honest! ”
Qiu Yang looked at the two of them who were talking about each other, and always felt a little warm and funny, so he couldn't help but nod his head and agree.
"Okay, if you have the chance, next time."
"-Anyway, I just wanted to ask, are the two of you a couple?"
As soon as Qiu Yang heard Hirano's sudden questioning, he squirted out the water he had just drunk in a sip - after two days in Osaka, he found that thinking out of the box seemed to be a common characteristic of Kansai people.
He subconsciously looked at Hayakawa beside him, only to find that she was just blushing and bowing her head - hey, you should deny it!
"No, we're just partners in this model shoot, and we just happened to be here together."
In a panic, he subconsciously "cleared" the relationship.
"That's it......" Nagase looked at Hayakawa, whose expression quickly fell, and he also counted it in his heart.
In the suddenly embarrassed air, Qiu Yang's gaze wandered a little, and coincidentally, he saw a familiar figure passing by not far from him, walking towards the bathroom.
At first, he thought he was dazzled - didn't she say that she wouldn't come to Osaka?
However, seeing her covering her mouth and walking in a hurry, he was always a little worried.
"—I'm sorry, I'll go to the bathroom."
……
After the word "partner", Hayakawa did not listen to all the conversations that followed.
- It turns out that it's just a partner? Also, I haven't talked to Brother Qiu Yang for a few words, so I really can't be friends.
Thinking about it this way, the so-called "tell or not tell" entanglement before seems so redundant and naïve - since you haven't had it, then you don't care about losing it.
With a lot of concern, she suddenly felt that it didn't matter. It just so happened that Qiu Yang went to the bathroom, perhaps a rare space to be alone.
"-Well, I'll miss it too."
Under Nagase's clear gaze, Hayakawa Seilai hurried in the same direction.
