Chapter 1598 JIF (Today’s dream was too outrageous)

Today is a day off.

This is true for students.

Well, most students.

But Ruby wasn't among them.

After all, as an idol, she has much more to do than Duanmu Huai.

"There's a live show this afternoon...will my sister come to watch?"

"It depends. I'll go as long as I'm free."

"Sister, aren't you free all day?"

Looking at Duanmu Huai lying on the sofa watching the news, Ruby couldn't help but complain.

"Unlike me, I am busy with work every day. I either go to class or attend concerts..."

"If you have nothing to do, you can bite a lighter. It was you who said you wanted to revive B Komachi, so work hard."

Duanmuhuai waved his hand.

"I plan to go see Kurokawa Akane later."

"Come to think of it, I haven't seen Sister Chiyin in the office these past two days. Is she sick?"

"It seems so, so I plan to go and have a look."

"Then please also say hello to Sister Chiyin for me."

While busy putting on makeup, Ruby also spoke up. Speaking of which, she had a very good relationship with Kurokawa Akane.

"I will."

"Ah, it's already this late, I'll be leaving now!"

With the sound of ping-pong, Ruby rushed out of the house in a hurry, while Duanmu Huai shook his head helplessly and looked at the TV news in front of him again. Coincidentally, the TV was broadcasting the love affair of a popular idol.

"…………As an idol, I was photographed like this because of my carelessness. I apologize to everyone here."

On the TV screen, a young girl lowered her head and apologized to everyone, while flashes of light flashed one after another. Then, the screen switched to an interview with a passerby. On the screen, a fat guy wearing a pained shirt, holding a light stick, and wearing a headscarf was crying while being interviewed.

"C-son, be happy! Although you have graduated, you are still my lifelong support!"

When an idol reveals his/her relationship, some people will offer their blessings while others will have different opinions.

"This is a betrayal, a betrayal to the fans!"

A fan who was as thin as a monkey faced the camera, filled with indignation.

"I still remember that when the first photo was taken, she said that it wasn't her at all! That was a year ago! But now that she was photographed entering the hotel, she finally admitted it, right? Ah, I'm so angry! We spent so much money on her! And she turned around and threw herself into the arms of another man! Is this forgivable? It is absolutely unforgivable!"

"………………………"

Duanmu Huai shrugged his shoulders while watching the interview on the screen. Idols are like this. Of course, it doesn't mean that idols can't fall in love. After all, free love is a human right. But the problem lies in this mechanism. The Japanese idol mechanism is, after all, selling girlfriends. In order to make money, idols are made into the dream lovers of fans. In this case, what fans pay for is possession.

Isn't that what is called "pushing"? Pushing an idol, treating her as your own woman, and spending money on your woman is natural. But because of this, betrayal is even more unforgivable.

In comparison, actors are much better. Even if there are any love scandals, as long as it does not violate social morals, no one will mind too much.

But it’s not the same for idols. Once a love scandal breaks out, it is almost a fatal blow to their career.

From a certain perspective, this can only be blamed on the system. After all, the idol system sells boyfriend fans and girlfriend fans because this is the fastest way to make money.

But at the same time, the backlash is also serious.

The best outcome is just graduation and then becoming just like everyone else.

As for the bad ones...just look at Hoshino Ai.

Ruby is still a little girl now. She has never thought about falling in love. Who knows what will happen in the future.

But with the experience of her ex-mother, she should know how to keep her distance from it.

Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai withdrew his thoughts and turned off the TV.

Go check out Kurokawa Akane.

Duanmu Huai was not unfamiliar with the Kurokawa family, after all, he had been there once during the previous commotion. So this time Duanmu Huai also went up to the house with a familiar route, then pressed the doorbell, and then heard Kurokawa Akane's voice coming from the intercom.

"Hello, who is this?"

"it's me."

"Hey? Xiao, Xiao Ai? Wait a moment, I'll open the door right away..."

Hearing Duanmu Huai's answer, Heichuan Akane couldn't help feeling a little nervous. She hurriedly opened the door and welcomed Duanmu Huai into the house.

Kurokawa Akane was only wearing pajamas at home and looked quite energetic. Duanmu Huai looked at her carefully and did not see any sign of illness in her.

“How does your body feel?”

"It's fine. Is the rehearsal going well?"

"It's going well, but you're like this now..."

"Ah, I've already told the director. Fortunately, Shaoji doesn't have many scenes...but..."

After pouring a cup of tea for Duanmu Huai, Kurokawa Akane sat opposite him.

"To be honest, I haven't slept well these past few days, and I'm in a bad mood..."

"Could it be because you're nervous about the stage play?"

Duanmu Huai asked curiously, and Heichuan Akane shook his head.

"That's not the case, it's just that some... "

"some?"

"No, it's nothing."

Kurokawa Akane looked at Duanmu Huai, wanting to say something, but in the end she didn't. She only raised her head cautiously and looked at Duanmu Huai.

"Xiao Ai, did you sleep well tonight?"

"Hmm? I sleep well every day, and I've been having good dreams these past few days."

"That's it..."

Hearing Duanmu Huai's casual answer, Heichuan Akane sighed inwardly. She originally thought that Duanmu Huai was cursed by some kind of curse and she was also infected. Although this sounds very fantastic, it is not particularly strange considering that the dreams she had every night these days were very unscientific.

But now it seems that this is not the case. At least judging from Duanmu Huai's expression, he doesn't look as troubled as I am.

"So you're not feeling well physically, but mentally?"

"Well...it's indeed a mental problem. As for the physical aspect...I went to the hospital for a checkup and the doctor said there's nothing wrong."

"That's it..."

Duanmu Huai felt that Kurokawa Akane was a little listless and seemed very tired. How to put it... this look was a little familiar. People like Alice, Medea, Freya, Norn, and Xiaolongnu would look like this sometimes when they couldn't get up the next day.

But Kurokawa Akane doesn't seem to have a boyfriend? I haven't heard that she is dating anyone.

"Well, do you want to go out for a walk?"

Duanmu Huai withdrew his gaze from Heichuan Akane and made a suggestion.

"Turning around?"

"Yes, Ruby and her friends are going to participate in JIF today and perform on stage as an idol group."

"Ah, come to think of it... I did see some news about Ruby and the others recently. B-Komachi is working very hard."

When Kurokawa Akane heard this, he suddenly realized it. Just as Kurokawa Akane said, Ruby's B Komachi is still very popular on the Internet. On the one hand, because of Duanmu Huai's strict training, Ruby's singing and dancing are at a professional level, much better than those ordinary idols. In addition, MEM is a master at manipulating network traffic, and Fengbin Kazuka is also a healthy girl full of cheerfulness and vitality.

In addition, B Komachi was also considered a legendary idol group back then, and with this name, they reappeared in people's vision, and their performance was not bad, so naturally they attracted a lot of attention. I heard from MEM that B Komachi's subscriptions have exceeded 50,000 now, and JIF also invited B Komachi because of their fame.

"Indeed, Ruby's performance is quite good. To be able to achieve such results just after starting out is considered quite a success."

Duanmuhuai nodded.

"So, do you want to go check it out together? I think it would be much better to go out and have a look than to stay in the house."

“That’s true…”

Faced with Duanmu Huai's invitation, Heichuan Akane hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

"That's right, I also want to go out and relax."

Just like that, the two decided to go to the JIF venue together to watch the idol's performance.

But soon, Duanmu Huai regretted it.

"Although it was me who invited you, I still want to ask, is it too late to go back now?"

Looking at the huge crowds of people in front of him, Duanmu Huai's face turned pale.

"Xiao Ai doesn't like crowded places?"

"Very annoying."

Duanmu Huai was speaking the truth. What bothered him most were noisy and crowded places. For example, at the previous concert of Robin Bird in Xianzhou, Duanmu Huai slept all the way from the beginning to the end. One of the reasons was that he couldn't stand the environment with too many people. Fortunately, he had a VIP room to relax.

But here... "Ugh... I can't see anything from this far away."

Kurokawa Akane raised his hand, placed it on his forehead and looked towards the stage in front of him. Under the lights, he could only barely see the clothes other people were wearing, but he couldn't even see their faces.

"It's the same with drama, but it's not that noisy after all."

"Of course. If there's a scene going on up there and people are shouting down below, it's simply a nightmare."

Duanmu Huai tiptoed. With his current height, he couldn't even see what was in front of him in the crowd. Seeing this, Kurokawa Akane couldn't help but chuckle.

"do you need my help?"

"No, let's find a place where there aren't so many people."

"It's impossible to squeeze forward now."

What Kurokawa Akane said was indeed correct. The audience was already packed with people, and even if they wanted to squeeze in, it would be impossible.

"No, I have a better way."

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Duanmu Huai said this, glancing around, then reaching out and holding Heichuan Akane's waist.

"Close your eyes."

"Eh? Oh..."

Although she didn't know what Duanmu Huai was going to do, Heichuan Akane still closed her eyes obediently. The next moment, she heard a sudden gust of wind in her ears. At the same time, her whole body became lighter, as if floating in the air. But it was only a moment later, and she felt the ground under her feet again.

At the same time, Duanmu Huai's voice sounded.

"All right."

Kurokawa Akane opened his eyes curiously, and then...

"Whoa!"

It’s no wonder that Kurokawa Akane screamed, because now she was no longer standing on the ground among the surging crowd, but in mid-air!

Strictly speaking, it is not half-empty, but a gap on a large billboard in front of the venue. From here, you can clearly see the stage, which can be regarded as a special seat!

"Xiao, Xiao Ai, what's going on? How did you bring me here?"

"It's very simple. I just jumped up."

"Jump up?"

Facing Kurokawa Akane's question, Duanmu Huai did not answer. Kurokawa Akane only saw her leaping from the four-meter-high billboard in an instant. Before Kurokawa Akane could scream again, the petite figure disappeared into the crowd below. Then, the next moment, a white light and shadow flew up along the billboard pole two or three times, and then Duanmu Huai flipped in the air and stood steadily in front of Kurokawa Akane.

"Look, it's like this."

“Wow…”

Seeing this scene, Kurokawa Akane was completely confused. Although actors on stage would also make similar movements, they were all done by hanging steel wires, but there was definitely no such device here!

"How did you do it, little love?"

“Kung Fu.”

"Can Kung Fu actually do something like this?"

"Of course, if you are a strong person, flying over eaves and walking on walls are basic operations. For someone like me, flying high and high is not a problem at all."

Duanmu Huai was not lying. In the world of martial arts, people with good light skills can move faster than those on horseback.

"That's amazing, I want to learn too..."

"This is something that needs to be trained from a young age. It's too late for you at your age now."

"Wu... Xiao Ai Ni, what you said is too much. I am only sixteen years old."

Hearing Duanmu Huai's answer, Heichuan Chiyin puffed up his face and looked at him angrily. However, Duanmu Huai did not respond to Heichuan Chiyin at all, but just looked at the stage in front of him.

"Oh, just in time, Ruby and the others are here."

"………………………"

Forget it. I’ll settle the score with you later.

Kurokawa Akane turned his head and looked at the stage not far away, only to see Ruby, MEM, Fengbin and Xiang also came out and waved happily to the audience below. As they moved, the sea of ​​light sticks below also danced, and the cheers were deafening.

“They are really popular.”

Looking at the reactions at the venue, Kurokawa Akane couldn't help but sigh, while Duanmu Huai didn't say anything, just stared at Ruby.

At this moment, she is singing and dancing under the spotlight, and seems to be enjoying it very much.

To be honest, Duanmu Huai no longer thinks of this sister as being reborn. After all, sometimes she acts even younger than her current age. However, his love for idols has never changed.

"Ruby is really dazzling."

Standing next to Duanmu Huai at this moment, Heikawa Akane couldn't help but sigh.

"MEM, Toyohama and Kazuka are both very cute, but the most dazzling one is Ruby. The way she looks like she is enjoying herself so much makes people feel better just by looking at her."

"…………………"

Staring at Ruby, Duanmu Huai was silent for a long time.

"A girl I knew before had similar ideas to Ruby."

“Is it about becoming an idol?”

"No, she wants to be the cutest girl in the world."

Duanmu Huai couldn't help but chuckle when he said this.

"I still remember her saying that loveliness is buried in everyone's heart. It is a dazzling light that can bless everyone. It is a dream that will always be pursued, and it is also the love she conveys to everyone. She hopes that everyone's life can be filled with loveliness, so she will stand on the stage... Well, Ruby now has a bit of that feeling."

Of course, if Duanmu Huai were to say, Ruby is still slightly inferior in terms of cuteness.

After all, Kallen-chan is the cutest in the world.

Duanmu Huai stared at Ruby and did not notice that Kurokawa Akane was staring at him curiously at this moment.

Who is Xiao Ai talking about?

The longer he knew Duanmu Huai, the more incredible Heichuan Akane found it.

She had talked to Ruby in private, and Ruby told Kurokawa Akane that Duanmu Huai had almost no friends since he was a child. Sometimes even her sister was worried that her sister would be isolated. However, from every casual talk of Duanmu Huai, she could tell that he did have friends, and their relationship was not ordinary.

But...he has such a close friend, but even his sister doesn't know about it?

Moreover, Kurokawa Akane could be sure that the girl that Duanmu Huai was talking about now was definitely not the one he mentioned when chatting with him before, because the tone was different.

When he talked about the girl who changed her attitude as quickly as turning the pages of a book, his tone was a little helpless and speechless with intimacy.

When talking about this lovely girl, he was cheerful and happy. At least it was certain that the girl left a very happy impression in Duanmu Huai's heart.

However, Kurokawa Akane did not ask, because she had a feeling that even if she asked, she would not get an answer.

The resurrected B Komachi's performance on stage was very successful, as could be heard from the thunderous encore cheers when they left the stage. After watching the performance, Duanmu Huai and Kurokawa Akane decisively evacuated - after all, it would be troublesome if people found out that they were watching a show on a billboard.

After that, the two took the return train.

“Bang…Bang…Bang…Bang…”

Holding the handrail, looking at the sunset outside the window, and hearing the crowded and noisy voices of the crowd around her, Kurokawa Akane couldn't help but feel a little nervous. She felt that this scene seemed familiar, as if she had encountered a similar thing not long ago. But when Kurokawa Akane thought about it carefully, the scene quietly disappeared from her mind, and she couldn't remember what happened at all.

However, even if he couldn't remember, his body seemed to still remember. At this moment, Kurokawa Akane could feel his body tensing up - just like when he was given an injection, he would tense up unconsciously just by looking at the needle.

Like waiting—no, expecting something.

His heart was pounding, and he was feeling nervous, expectant, uneasy, and ashamed. All kinds of emotions mixed together and made Kurokawa Akane's brain become fuzzy.

"What's wrong? Chiyin?"

Looking at Kurokawa Akane, Duanmu Huai was somewhat surprised.

"Your face is a little red."

"Hey?"

After hearing Duanmu Huai's explanation, Heichuan Akane couldn't help but reach out to cover his face.

"Isn't it the setting sun?"

"That's possible, but you do look a little strange right now..."

"squeak-----!"

At this moment, the train suddenly turned sharply, and Kurokawa Akane was completely unprepared at this moment and fell straight towards the window.

"careful!"

At this time, Duanmu Huai, who was standing next to Kurokawa Akane, also hurriedly stretched out a hand and wrapped it around Kurokawa Akane's waist, holding her at the last moment to prevent Kurokawa Akane's head from coming into close contact with the car window. However, even so, because of the overcrowding, Kurokawa Akane's chest was still tightly pressed against the car window, and Duanmu Huai was squeezed behind her.

At this moment, Kurokawa Akane felt it.

The same feeling as in the dream was like a spark, igniting the urge in my body.

I had a dream today. The first part of the dream was similar to exploring the ruins in the Elder Scrolls. Then I met a man in the ruins. He said that he was abandoned and had been trapped in the ruins for ten years. Then I took out my cell phone to call for help. Then I turned around and saw a group of tourists climbing the mountain on the other side of the window. There was even a hotel at the foot of the mountain... The atmosphere was so awkward that it almost froze.

Why did I have such a weird dream... The first half was very Tomb Raider-like... but the second half was completely indescribable...
