Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Butterfly Effect
Spring in Hokkaido comes a little later than in Tokyo, when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom.
A couple sits side by side on a park bench.
"Miri-chan, how long have we been dating?"
"Eh, why did Kenta suddenly ask about this? I want to think about it...... It's been five years since I graduated from high school. ”
"Well, when I was in college, we were still in a long-distance relationship, and we both persevered."
“…… yes, it's not easy. ”
As if with some wonderful premonition, the girl's voice began to tremble slightly.
"-Now, I also have a stable job, so ......"
The boy's voice was also a little cramped and nervous, he had expected it so many times, but when he actually said it, it was still jerky.
He stood up, took out the long-prepared ring box from his bosom, and knelt down towards the girl.
"So, do you want to think about it and marry me?"
The moment she saw the ring, the girl's eyes were a little stunned, but she still smiled sweetly and agreed.
"—I do."
The moment she agreed, her eyes turned red unconsciously.
"Such a special ring is very much in line with Kenta's simplicity......"
"Huh?"
Kenta Hashimoto felt a little strange - the diamond ring that he had saved up for so long to buy, although it was not a pigeon egg, it was by no means simple, right?
He was about to put on the ring for Miri, when he suddenly felt an unfamiliar texture, and when he looked at it, it was a pitch-black wooden ring, lying quietly where the diamond engagement ring should be.
"-??!!"
……
……
"-Qiu Yangsang, I'm really sorry."
In between shooting, Jingu Terahin folded his hands and apologized very sincerely to Qiu Yang, who was black-faced.
"Because I added a job temporarily, I stayed for two days, and I didn't realize in time that I collided with Saito-san's Osaka itinerary, and your work itinerary should have avoided meeting! I'm really sorry! ”
“……”
Qiu Yang was still wearing a black shirt for filming at this time, with a delicate cherry blossom pattern embroidered on the collar, like a modern samurai who was about to die at any time, and his expression was even more solemn.
"Ahhh......h But then again, if Qiu Yangsang wasn't so romantic......"
The Jingu Temple, who found out Qiu Yang's temperament, also knew that he was just making trouble, not really angry, and Yu Yu complained quietly.
"—what did you say?"
"Nope! Nothing! ”
In the end, Qiu Yang looked like a well-trained killer who was about to do it-the target was Jingu Temple, which scared him.
Jingu Siren guessed correctly, Qiu Yang was indeed not angry—not so much angry, but desperate.
And this matter, in the final analysis, is still an oolong.
……
……
—Asuka ......"
Quickly reacting from the shock of the reunion after a long absence, Qiu Yang called out to Asuka Saito.
However, the bird never raised his eyes to look at him, and with red eyes, he slammed the door shut, and even shut Horimi Ona out of the door.
"Uh...... Qiu Yangsang, you ......"
Hori Miyana looked at Qiu Yang a little speechlessly, and Hayakawa Seilai who was cowering behind him, his clothes disheveled and his face was red, and he had no other emotions in his heart except silent mourning.
"Ask for your own blessings......"
Before she could finish speaking, the door suddenly opened a small crack, and she was pulled in by the bird, and then slammed the door slammed shut.
Seeing that this head was inexplicable, he turned his gaze to Hayakawa Seilai again, who also stared at the diamond ring on the ground in a daze.
"Hayakawa ......"
"Brother Qiu Yang, it's not early, I'll rest first."
With a bang, another door slammed into his eyes.
In the corridor, only he and Jinguji were left looking at each other.
"That...... Brother Qiu Yang......"
The heart is empty, and the shrine temple Ren followed and shouted "brother".
"I still have work tomorrow, Qiu Yangsang, you should rest early, don't think too much, good night!"
After saying all the words in one breath, he also closed the door and fled.
The corridor that was noisy just now was suddenly empty except for Qiu Yang, leaving only the small diamond ring on the ground, shining with irony.
……
……
"- Nanamin, Hayakawa is next to me now, can you repeat last night's explanation......"
After finishing the filming work, Qiu Yang finally made an appointment with Hayakawa Seilai through Jingu Temple Ren to clarify the misunderstanding - Jingu Temple now owes him a big favor, and he agrees very happily.
As soon as he returned to his room last night, Qiu Yang couldn't figure out why Nanami would give him a diamond ring.
- Marriage proposal? Is there such a casual marriage proposal? Or is it implying that you are proposing?
Either way, it doesn't always feel like Nanamin's style......
After thinking about it, he decided to call and ask—originally, he also had too many things to report.
This question will make you understand everything.
"-So, it was Hashimoto-senpai who took the wrong brother's engagement ring when he was preparing a gift in Asahikawa?"
Although he heard the explanation of the person concerned, Hayakawa Shenglai still felt that it was a little too ridiculous, and looked at Qiu Yang beside him with a suspicious expression.
Qiu Yang nodded innocently, indicating that he only found out last night.
"Kenta told me yesterday that he made a big joke about his marriage proposal, and I realized that I was confused. I'm really sorry to misunderstand you. ”
Nana Hashimoto didn't hear Qiu Yang say yesterday that when the diamond ring was seen by many people, there was a little panic.
- Especially Hayakawa Seilai, she is still a junior in the regiment. Young people are not strict in their mouths, and once they accidentally leak the news, then it is not good what kind of gossip is it.
What's more, if it really happened, it would have been just an oolong incident.
So when Qiu Yang proposed to call today to clarify, she quickly agreed.
"I see......"
Hayakawa Shenglai only believed it a little, yesterday, she thought it was another big news - Brother Qiu Yang wants to get married? The absurd thing is that for a while, she couldn't be sure who the object of the marriage proposal was.
Thinking like this, she suddenly wanted to make a bad one.
"Then this misunderstanding will be clarified, yesterday I was scared to death, and I thought Qiu Yang was going to propose to Asu Kasan, or Hashimoto-san, or Nishino-san!"
"-Huh??"
Nana Hashimoto suddenly raised her voice - she knew about Qiu Yang's encounter with Asuka Saito yesterday because of her agent's mistake, but where did this Nanase Nishino come out of now?
"Qiu Yang, can you explain? Don't tell me, this Nishino mulberry is Nishino and Tree. ”
"Ah......h I didn't have time to tell Nana Min yesterday, but I actually met Na in Osaka this time...... I ran into Nanase-san Nishino. ”
While answering the interrogation with a headache, looking at Hayakawa Shenglai who was smiling evilly beside him, Qiu Yang was inexplicably relieved.
This simple girl has finally returned to her original carefree appearance.
Hayakawa looked at Qiu Yang with a wry smile and on the phone, and remembered his close face yesterday. The seeds in my heart also sprouted uncontrollably.
- Since I don't want to get married yet, then don't I still have a chance to come?
Nana Hashimoto probably didn't expect that the chain reaction brought about by his small act of unintentionally taking the wrong ring box would implicate so many people and things - Hayakawa Seilai's heart was revealed, the misunderstanding between Asuka Saito and Horimi Nana, and now there is a Nanase Nishino.
"When the work is over, I have to hurry back to Neon."
With a strong sense of crisis, she was still going to be free to move around in Shanghai for two days, thinking about whether to fly back quickly and take care of Qiu Yang's big pig's trotters.
However, the effect of the butterfly effect is far greater than Qiu Yang and Nana Hashimoto imagined.
