When Qiu Yang woke up in the morning, Nanami Hashimoto was no longer at home.

"Nanami is still rushing back to Tokyo to work, and she has already taken half a day off."

Mrs. Hashimoto said this, as if she was secretly observing Qiu Yang's face - her daughter got up early in the morning and left home quietly, and she didn't even notice that she was sleeping very lightly.

This abnormal performance couldn't help but make her wonder if it was the cause of last night.

Sure enough, hearing her say this, Qiu Yang's expression stiffened a little.

"Well... Then I'll pack up and go back to the hotel. ”

As if feeling a little apologetic, he stood still in front of her again and bowed deeply.

"I really troubled Aunt Hashimoto yesterday."

Looking at Qiu Yang's buried head, Mrs. Hashimoto sighed.

"Nanamin's matter, can you please pay more attention to it?"

"I will."

Qiu Yang replied very simply, if he hesitated at this time, it would be a great disrespect.

When he was about to go out, Mrs. Hashimoto said goodbye at the door.

"Qiu Yangsang, I think the request just now is not difficult for a strong man."

Qiu Yang's departing back paused, scratched his head with his back to Mrs. Hashimoto, and thought for a long time before speaking.

"—I don't think so."

……

……

Qiu Yang was halfway through the work with the local community, and it was during the lunch break when he suddenly received a call from Shinoda senior, and his tone was a little anxious.

"Qiu Yang, look at the hot search."

Qiu Yang chuckled in his heart, he already had PTSD for hot searches, not to mention that he had just come out of Nanamin's house, and it was the time to have something to do - but this efficiency is too high, right?

"What's the hot search? I wouldn't be so unlucky again, would I? ”

"Unlucky? What's unlucky? Hey, in short, you see for yourself first, I won't hang up first. ”

Qiu Yang clicked on the hot search on Twitter, swiped slightly, and almost didn't hold the phone in shock.

- "Qiu Yang" ranked 7th, "Qiu Yang, the strongman is difficult" ranked 13th, "Qiu Yang, Dongda Idol Department" ranked 25th, "Qiu Yang, Nogizaka 46" ranked 37th......

Even at the end of the hot search list, there was a small, inconspicuous "Qiu Yang, Saito Asuka", which made him feel a little palpitating.

At a rough glance, it is basically a compliment to his variety show that day.

"-I didn't expect that Dongda also has fans of my group, and they are so good!"

"-Although the singing skills are average, but I am really emotionally involved!"

"-It's worthy of being an amateur idol, and there's really nothing to say about temperament."

"——The focus of the circle, learning is better than you, singing is better than you, and you are handsome, so people can shake hands for free!"

“……”

Qiu Yang was a little speechless, and some comments had already begun to tout him as "a phenomenal pool noodle that occurs once in a century in Dongda" - is it because of the existence of the halo effect, which is also outrageous.

"Hello? Qiu Yang, are you still there. ”

"Yes, I said, where is this......"

"Hahahahaha, do you feel like a star?"

Shinoda smiled badly.

"However, I'm going to pour cold water on you, a one-shot house amateur like you can be said to be every day, don't take it too seriously."

"I know, I didn't want to take it seriously...... Haven't I had enough of the hot search? ”

"No, you're wrong, behind this matter, there is something that surprised me and is very beneficial to you."

"What?" Qiu Yang is not very familiar with things in the entertainment world, and he is somewhat dull.

"First of all, you have to understand that this hot search is not all on your own, there are many forces behind it, such as our Todai Idol Department, such as Fuji TV, such as Nogizaka, everyone is very happy to see the spread of your singing clips, so they are willing to invest in you."

"But you don't have to be particularly discouraged, at least it shows that you have made me and all parties see that you are a person with investment potential. Either way, we have to have a group of people who appreciate you and spontaneously spread the video before we can operate further. ”

"In other words, the first step into the entertainment world, you walked very well, it can be said that you got off to a perfect start, and even directly noticed you from the operation team of the group you wanted to approach - I think they were also surprised, and they were looking forward to their expressions hahahaha."

After listening to this pile in a daze, Qiu Yang was a little dizzy: "Then what do I need to do next?" ”

"At this stage, there are already some variety shows that have come to our side, all of them are some cameos, and we will choose when you return to Tokyo, let public opinion ferment for a few rounds, and there are still a few parties whose promotion has not entered."

"By the way, there is one more thing I want to tell you - in the early stage, our Dongda Idol Department has an external economic company to dock, and how far you can go after that, whether you will sign in or not, it depends on you."

"Uh...... Then trouble the seniors? ”

To be honest, he didn't think it was a complicated thing when he made the bold statement of entering the entertainment world—but now it's like an arrow from a bow, maybe he can only move forward.

- Will we meet again? Where all can see.

"So, if I'm not mistaken, you're going back to Tokyo on February 10th, right?"

I could hear that Shinoda Cangzhen was obviously in a good mood, and he laughed very presumptuously:

"Then let's do a lot of good work, we have a once-in-a-century pool noodle mulberry! - Speaking of which, I've used it before hahahaha. ”

hung up the phone with a black line on his face, Qiu Yang continued to swipe his phone a little unconsciously - I have to say, makeup, costumes, stage beauty and filters, he really looks like that.

Inadvertently, he glanced at the third place on the hot search list, and was suddenly a little surprised: What's the situation? Why is this kind of information hotly searched?

- "Asuka Saito, Shikajima"

……

……

On an ordinary morning in Shikashima, Asuka Saito was woken up by a phone call with Yuki Tada.

"Hey...... Yoda-chan, what's the matter so early? ”

"Asu Kasan, take a look at the hot search, I don't know what's wrong, are you okay?"

Yuki's voice sounded a little anxious.

"Hot search...?" Asuka Saito has some bad premonitions, and he is obviously in his rest, and it is probably not a good thing to have hot searches.

- Soon, I saw my name in the front line: "Asuka Saito, Shikajima".

"- Heading to Shikashima for Azuka today! Beautiful island with a beautiful view! Where will you meet her? ”

I heard that Asuka-san Saito is on vacation in Shikajima! Is it too late to buy a ticket now? ”

"——The only convenience store in Shikashima, successful check-in! Asuka and Yoda-chan must have been here too! ”

“……”

Looking at the photos on the Internet on the PO, they are all "ordinary and quiet" streets that I have walked through not long ago.

A long-lost sense of panic hits me - aren't I in a period of self-discipline? How could the news leak out? Or is it all in the calculation along with the invitation to come to Shikashima in the first place?

"Azukasan, did you see that?"

"I see it...... Yoda-chan, what's going on? ”

She was actually a little weak-hearted with Tian Youxi, she guessed the reason to some extent, and even more or less had anything to do with herself - but she really didn't know it would be like this at first.

"Uh...... I think it's probably Uncle Miyagawa and them......" She recounted what she had known about Shikashima's construction plan, and carefully put forward her own guesses.

"I'm sorry Azukasan, I really didn't know I was going to involve you in the first place......"

"It's okay, Yoda-chan, and I don't blame you for that."

Asuka Saito listened to Yuki Yoda's description, and her brows gradually tightened - she had been in the entertainment world for some time than Yoda, and she also had a clear understanding of some of the means of operation.

In her opinion, this is mostly a project where the local government and operations join forces to expand their influence, and it happens that she is here, and she doesn't need to show her face anyway, so she can pick it up and use it, which can be regarded as a kind of sidekick.

- After all, compared to the upward movement of the group, who cares if the holiday of a small idol is peaceful?

"I'm okay here for the time being, yoda-chan, don't blame yourself too much, you can be regarded as a small victim of this matter."

Comforting Tian Yuxi like this, the little bird hung up the phone with a heavy heart.

She pushed open the door and went out, wanting to relax, but she didn't want to face a huge poster on the distant mountain-

"Paradise Resort Island for Idols!"

The small print on the bottom line: "Jointly created by Sony and Shikashima region, travel and vacation theme month 6/1-6/30." ”

Asuka Saito looked at the huge advertising board that had destroyed the skyline she was familiar with, and her heart was sad that she had never felt before.

"Azuka-chan, come out for a walk?"

The neighbor's uncle, as usual, greeted her warmly.

It was obviously an ordinary warm smile, but she wanted to vomit for no reason, just waved her hand, and ran back to meet the door with the Tian family as if she were running away, panting heavily.

- The idea that hadn't been the first time it had crept back to her, every time she got bored.

After calming down, she dialed her agent's number:

"Nango-san, I'm rested, and I can return to Tokyo tomorrow."

The other end of the phone was not too surprised, after all, the agreed month had passed, and coupled with the operational decision, there was some intention to forcibly interrupt her vacation.

"It's good to rest, have you adjusted your work condition? When you come back, I should help you gradually pick up the announcement, after all, the new song will be selected in a month. ”

"I'm okay with that."

"Okay."

"Then when I go back to the company, I have something I want to tell you, so help me contact Konno-san when the time comes."

“…… Good. ”

Nango Yui expected that Asuka Saito had a lot of dissatisfaction, but she was a little surprised that she wanted to talk to Director Konno directly.

Asuka Saito was about to hang up the phone when the other end of the phone suddenly stopped talking.

"Saito-san, that..."

"What's wrong?"

"Did you see that?" Perhaps out of guilt, Nango Yui still brought up this matter that didn't need to be mentioned to the bird.

"See what...?"

"Ah, if you don't see it, forget it, it's nothing."

Asuka Saito hung up the phone a little unconsciously, and the more he thought about it, the more strange he felt, so he turned on his phone and swiped the news.

With this brush, it quickly became clear what the "that" Nanxiang Sang was referring to.

——"The high-achieving students of Dongda sang in a low voice, and the idol made a surprise appearance to support. ”

From seeing the hot search with Qiu Yang's name, to clicking on the video to listen to him singing Nanami Hashimoto's solo song, to Miona's appearance at the end of the video, the two met awkwardly - Asuka Saito was unexpectedly calm.

On the one hand, from the first moment Qiu Yang swept the strings, she knew that all the psychological defenses she had previously pretended to be weak in Shikajima were useless - she still wanted to see him.

Especially now, Shikashima is no longer her ostrich nest, and she understands that maybe from beginning to end, she only has Qiu Yang's ostrich nest.

Recognizing this, she was also at ease in her heart - just pure liking, no matter how difficult it is, it is always simpler than a tangled heart.

On the other hand, although Qiu Yang did not explain, even though it was not her song, and even sang the song of another girl who was also familiar with him, she still stubbornly felt that this song was sung for her.

She can understand Qiu Yang's mood, she can understand the implication that he doesn't want to make things difficult for others, and she confidently believes that they are of the same mind.

- After all, Azuka and I are a real girl!

……

Thinking stubbornly, she dialed a number.

"Asuka-chan? What's wrong. ”

The other party seemed a little surprised by her sudden call.

"Nanamin, are you in Tokyo now?"

“…… Yes, what's wrong? ”

"What about Qiu Yang?"

“……”

Perhaps the tone was too aggressive, and Nana Hashimoto on the other end fell silent.

He ...... in Hokkaido. ”

"Okay."

Both of them fell silent for a moment.

"Asuka?" Nana Hashimoto asked tentatively.

"—we'll see you in Tokyo."

"Huh?" Faced with Asuka Saito's sudden and illogical words, Nana Hashimoto was a little confused.

"I say, Nanamin."

Asuka Saito said softly, as if he was saying to Hashimoto, but it didn't seem to be.

"We'll see you in Tokyo."
