Celebrity ex-girlfriend got revenge on me

Chapter 548 Invalid Countdown

The black curtain blocked the outside noise, and a spotlight was turned on, casting a clear boundary between light and dark in the center of the stage. Gao Lixufeng took a long breath, and nervously raised her toes slightly. She watched Kitahara Kento pass by her and walk to the center of the stage. He finished his announcement calmly and turned back along the same path.

Clenching her fists to encourage herself, Gao Li Xufeng stepped forward. When she passed him, she glanced sideways and whispered a word.

"Don't forget to go to the Student Union Office after the anniversary celebration."

After saying this, Gao Li Xufeng stepped onto the stage and her figure merged into the spotlight.

On the other side, watching the "pollution source" returning step by step, Kashiwagi Mayu glanced at Amemiya Masahira who was staring at Xufeng, and knowing what was going on, she said something to the "pollution source" and turned and left.

"I'm going to record Xufeng's video."

Kitahara Kento nodded without replying, his eyes still fixed on the little otaku girl Amamiya who began to evade his gaze again, continuing the topic that had been interrupted just now.

Her true psychological needs.

If she didn't want to say it, then he could say it. To prevent the little homegirl from running away again, Kitahara Kento was ready to grab her at any time.

Feeling the pressure from Kitahara Kento's gaze, Amamiya Masahira turned away unnaturally, changed the subject, and muttered softly: "I didn't make you angry, why are you looking at me so fiercely?"

Kitahara Kento stared at Amamiya Masahira's every move and asked, "Do you want me to tell you, or do you want me to tell you? What's your true feeling——"

Before he could finish his words, the cell phone in his pocket rang at an inopportune time.

As if she had found a savior, Amamiya Masahira, who was almost at the end of her rope, hurriedly said, "Is it a message from Kaiji?" She paused, and then deliberately emphasized, "It's the Kaiji whose name is Kaiji, also known as Hanatani. You haven't told me why Kaiji is called Hanatani."

Kitahara Kento kept a wary eye on Amemiya Masahira's every move and took out his cell phone from his pocket with one hand.

——If it is really a text message from my daughter, I really can’t delay. After all, this time, she is the only one who is not affected by the psychological invisibility. The little rascal is the last bastion of the Kitahara family.

Kitahara Kento lowered his eyes and quickly glanced at the phone screen.

"That person just now," Amamiya Masahira glanced at his phone and continued to change the subject, "Why did he ask you to go to the student union office after the school celebration?"

"Is that a text from Kaiji? What did she say?"

"I don't know. She asked how long it would take you to play." Kitahara Kento answered briefly, typing out his reply quickly:
"Seven or eight minutes, no more than ten minutes."

As soon as the send button is pressed, a new message pops up immediately:
"Got it. Hanatani is watching the live broadcast intently, not even blinking! Dad was so handsome when he announced the show just now."

Seeing that Kitahara Kento had finished his reply and was about to interrogate her with his tough attitude of "leniency for confession", Amemiya Masahira hurriedly tried to change the subject again, imitating Takanari Sufu's tone just now, and said to him with a meaningful drawl:
"Mr. Kitahara, I'll ask you to introduce the show for me later."

After he finished speaking, the gymnasium's speakers finally played the accompaniment melody, and the delicate, pure and spiritual voice that belonged only to Takanashi Sufu penetrated the black curtain.

"Stretched figures lined up on the asphalt road."

"I want to hold your hand forever"

"Always by your side"

Amemiya Masahira turned around upon hearing the voice, his eyes falling on the figure under the spotlight in the center of the stage outside the black curtain. The figure was Takashi Sufu, who was wearing the uniform of Mine High School and had just invited Kitahara Kento to meet him in the student union office tonight after the anniversary celebration.

Kitahara Kento also looked back, sighed, and returned his gaze to Amemiya Masahira.

"It's no use trying to change the subject. How about I try to say it for you?"

Amemiya Masahira seemed not to hear anything. I don’t know if she was pretending not to hear it, or at this moment, all her attention was truly attracted by the girl under the spotlight.

"We have played this song before." Amemiya Masahiro suddenly said in a low voice.

Of course Kitahara Kento remembered.

At that time, he and Amemiya were still young. Amemiya Masahira was his instrument teacher. The two sat side by side on the piano bench. She played the main melody, and he was only responsible for a few simple accompaniments in the bass range. His main task was to reach out and turn the music score for Amemiya Masahira.

《Snow Flower》

Amemiya Masahira stared at the dazzling Takanari Sufu under the spotlight and said to Kitahara Kento, "I want to listen for a while."

After being hit by the unreasonable emotional card played by the little otaku girl, Kitahara Kento, who was lost in memories for a few seconds, withdrew his thoughts, turned around, and watched Takanari Sufu under the spotlight with her.

"Give her some time and the organization's subsequent explanation." Kitahara Kento considered sympathetically.

"Okay, but I'll only give you one minute. If you exceed the time, I will..." Kitahara Kento didn't say anything else. He glanced at the girl with long black hair beside him. She was still indifferent and just kept watching and listening to the other side.

"If I Lose You"

"I will become a star to light you up"

"A night of smiles or tears"

"I will always be with you"

"Last time, she sang this song," Amamiya Masahira suddenly spoke.

Kitahara Kento remained silent. The "last time" she was referring to was the band competition.

"I remember that at that time, her voice didn't have the same emotion as now," Amamiya Masahira glanced at him, frowning slightly, "not even a little bit of emotion."

"She couldn't express delicate emotions when she sang this kind of song before." Kitahara Kento was silent for a moment when asked this question, and became like Amemiya Masahira just now, with his eyes only looking to the other side.

After a few seconds of silence, he said without looking at Amamiya, "Maybe she has improved. She has good talent. Talent in pop music and vocal music."

"Oh~~~" Amamiya Masahira's slightly teasing voice floated into his ears: "Step forward?"

When Takanari Sufu sang this song in the past, she was like a baby bird that had just hatched from its shell, looking up at the blue sky, full of curiosity and unconcealable expectation - Kitahara Kento did not look back at her, so apart from Amemiya Masahira's tone, there was no way of knowing what kind of expression she made to him at this moment.

"What a big change."

Kitahara Kento still didn't go to see the little otaku girl, and had no idea of ​​Amemiya Masahira's expression when she said this. He just counted down silently in his heart.

"474852"

Amemiya Masahira's gaze returned to Takanari Sufu who was under the spotlight.

The emotion of this song is one of indulgence, like a person who is deeply in love and willing to give everything without expecting anything in return; it is also mournful, worrying about the future, like holding a crystal bottle that will break at the slightest touch, afraid of it falling, leaving only a broken heart.

"If I Lose You"

"I will become a star to light you up"

"A night of smiles or tears"

"I will always be by your side"

"565758"

"She sang with emotions that she couldn't sing before and hadn't sung before." Amemiya Masahira looked at the girl over there.

The wise man Kitahara was speechless.

How could he not understand the implication of Amamiya Masahira's words? He knew it best in his heart.

In fact, some mysteries have gradually become clear as his remaining future collections appear one by one - the white scarf given to him by Takanari Sufu, his second mask, which is Takanari Sufu's pink mask - and everything he has experienced during this period.

Although his daughter did not describe many things about his future clearly, the hints revealed by the little rascal were enough to reveal the future and were predictable after experiencing so many things.

She glanced at Kitahara Kento, who remained silent.

Amemiya Masahira took a step forward and moved closer to Kitahara Kento, his tone and eyes full of teasing.

"She has indeed made progress, and it has been huge."

As he spoke, Amemiya Masahira was almost coming face to face with Kitahara Kento.

"There must be a good teacher who is teaching her 'carefully'. He has helped her make great progress." Amemiya Masahira stopped and looked at Kitahara Kento's eyes looking to the other side, emphasizing the word "carefully".

Kitahara Kento remained silent. How could he explain these muddled things? For the girl who was singing on the stage, he really didn't "put in so much effort to help her improve" as Amamiya Masahira said.

"At least in this world line with Flower Valley, I don't have any improper thoughts about Takanari Sufu." Kitahara Kento thought.

The time had already exceeded the one minute he had set. But her extremely cunning interruption was like a lawyer laying out evidence of a crime one by one in front of a criminal, making it difficult for him to speak.

"Hmm?" Amemiya Masahira gestured to Kitahara in a questioning tone.

In order to avoid appearing guilty by remaining silent, Kitahara Kento opened his mouth.

"Her mother was a professional singer. It's only natural that she should be very attentive when teaching her daughter."

"You want to stay out of it and clear yourself of all charges?" Amemiya Masahira glanced at Kitahara, and as a token of reciprocity, he showed mercy but did not pursue him relentlessly.

"I just want to be with you forever"

"I really want to"

Amemiya Masahira frowned slightly and listened to the affectionate singing of the girl in the center of the stage.

The accompaniment in the speakers gradually became calm. The figure under the warm yellow spotlight held the microphone to his lips with both hands, and sang the last phrase in a breathy voice.

"Pure white snow piled up in this city"

"Memories are written lightly in our hearts"

"From now on, I want to be with you forever"

Standing in the shadow behind the black curtain, Amemiya Masahira looked at her in the spotlight, one in light and the other in dark, but the boundary between light and dark was no longer clear in a trance.

Memories of the past are like black and white photos and color photos falling layer by layer, past events overlapping, black and white and color pictures covering each other layer by layer.

"Some people have been broken, but they still stubbornly spend several years mending themselves, and when they are repaired, they choose to move forward again. And some people have just arrived at that turning point. Or, have they just set foot on that road?"

Amemiya Masahira was lost in thought. With mixed feelings, he withdrew his thoughts and turned to look at Kitahara.

"Hey, the one-minute countdown should have ended a long time ago."
