Chapter 177 Undercurrent [3K6]

It has to be admitted that after observing the meeting between Yu and Meikai Jiro, Hamabe Ryoko's expression management level has improved a lot compared to before.

Even though she was panicked for a moment, the expression on her face remained natural.

——At least Amamiya Ayana didn’t notice any flaws in her expression. She just thought she looked a little tired.

"Welcome back."

The Saint Lady came forward and naturally took Hamabe Ryoko's hand.

In fact, she originally wanted to give the latter a hug, but after thinking about it, she gave up the idea.

Given Ryoko's personality, if she really did that, the latter would probably feel embarrassed.

"I'm so tired, Ayana."

Hamabe Ryoko leaned her head on the Saint Lady's shoulder and started to complain.

Since Ayana didn't see it, she just went along with it.

"Okay, you're not a child anymore, why are you still acting like a spoiled brat?"

Amemiya Ayana rubbed Hamabe Ryoko's head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, but she felt a little confused in her heart.

Normally, Ryoko did get along well with her, but she had never acted like this before.

But she didn't think much about it. She raised her head and looked at Watanabe Yu who was dragging a suitcase, and winked playfully.

"Get in the car, Mr. Troll."

After saying that, she led Hamabe Ryoko to sit in the back seat.

have to.

Watanabe Yu looked at the luggage he was dragging, and then looked at the old butler who closed the back door.

"Master Watanabe, do you need my help?"

After looking at each other, the old butler took the initiative to speak and broke the silence.

"unnecessary."

Watanabe Yu shook his head, put the suitcase into the open trunk, and then sat in the passenger seat consciously.

"Miss, is the destination still the same?"

The old butler sitting in the driver's seat raised his eyes and looked through the rearview mirror at Amamiya Ayana who was having a pleasant conversation with Hamabe Ryoko.

"Let's go to the Evening Breeze House first."

Amamiya Ayana changed her destination without making a sound.

If I go home first, seeing how tired Ryoko looks, she probably won't want to move anymore.

"Ok."

The old butler withdrew his gaze, and after confirming that Watanabe Yu had fastened his seat belt, he stepped on the accelerator and started the car.

The black Maybach drove smoothly into the main road and merged into the traffic, but the speed was much slower than before.

It is rush hour in Tokyo right now, and the surging traffic on the road is enough to make people suffer from trypophobia.

"Aren't you eating at home today?"

Seeing that the old butler was no longer paying attention to this side, Hamabe Ryoko changed the conversation in a low voice and gave Amamiya Ayana an inquiring look.

"Yes." Amamiya Ayana nodded, "According to custom, after a long journey, there should be a 'welcoming dinner' (Chinese version).

"You said so, Yuu."

She turned her head and looked at Watanabe Yu who was sitting in the passenger seat.

She actually had a lot of things she wanted to say to him, but the current occasion was not appropriate, so she could only wait until she got home to talk about it.

"Yes."

Watanabe Yu echoed, the dense traffic outside the car window reflected in his eyes.

The sun sets relatively early today, and is already setting slightly.

The golden sunset passed over the city's skyline and spread onto the city's roads, covering the slowly moving traffic with a layer of golden gauze.

There are crowds of pedestrians on both sides of the road, and the hustle and bustle of the modern city is vividly and realistically reflected here.

For no reason, he felt a little more emotional.

Although he had only stayed in Anzumi Village for three days, he couldn't help feeling as if he was in another world.

"How is grandma's health?"

Amemiya Ayana turned around and looked at Hamabe Ryoko again.

"It's been much better recently, even..."

Hamabe Ryoko naturally took up the conversation, and the two of them started chatting back and forth.

Listening to their conversation, Watanabe Yu thought for a while and took out his cell phone.

He hasn't told Yuki about recording the song yet.

Taking advantage of the traffic jam, he just happened to tell the other party about this.

But before he could organize his words, a new message popped up in his and Yuki's Line chat interface.

【Are you back? 】

Looking at the four words displayed on the phone screen, Watanabe Yu was stunned at first, then typed out a reply.

[Yes, just arrived]

When he had dinner with Yuki Hayakawa before, he had mentioned to her that he was going to follow Ryoko back to her hometown.

[Would you like to come out for dinner? I'll treat you]

Yuki Hayakawa replied to messages very quickly, it would not be an exaggeration to say that she replied within seconds.

[Let’s do it another day. I’m a little tired today.]

He can't say that he has an appointment.

[Then you will have to treat me next time (cat smirks.jpg), and besides, why are you tired? ]

Her reply came as promised.

[After a day of traveling, first by bus, then by taxi, then by Shinkansen, and now in a private car]

Watanabe Yuu typed out the words.

[…That’s really tiring. Where’s Ryoko-senpai? ]

[She is also very tired and has completely exhausted]

[I see (laughs)]

[Yuki, I need your help with something]

Watanabe pondered for a long time, but finally gave up thinking and chose to get straight to the point.

【You say it】

On the other end of the phone, Yuki Hayakawa looked at the message and the corners of her lips unconsciously raised slightly.

Isn't this the chance to be alone?
On the laptop computer nearby, an interview video of Ming Haijiro was playing, but the volume was turned very low.

She has just started watching this interview video.

As luck would have it, the video happened to play the part where Ming Haijiro announced his cooperating singers.

[Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, the song "Fireworks" may need to be recorded again, and I will need your help then]

Buzz. Buzz.

The phone vibrated, and her thoughts were drawn back to the screen.

【no problem】

Yuki Hayakawa tapped the screen a few times with her long fingers.

[I think I need to re-record the instrumental demo. Also, this time, it’s not just my solo. I need you to join in. This version of “Da Shang Hua Huo” is a chorus.]

[Okay, then you can come earlier? Then we can have dinner in the evening]

[Sure, how about we go to your favorite restaurant then? ]

[I'm already looking forward to it (cat, cat and bug.jpg)]

[I'll tell you later when I've decided on a time, okay? ]

[Yeah][I'll take a nap first]

【have a good rest】

call.

Yuki Hayakawa turned off her phone, picked up the mouse, and turned up the volume of the interview video.

Her attention was then focused on the computer screen.

She was indeed very excited and interested in singing a duet with Watanabe Yu.

But what she was more interested in right now was the second half of the interview video.

Earlier, she saw many comments in the comment section of this interview video, such as "Let's fight" and "Is this a declaration of war?"

Judging from the interview style at the beginning of the video, she really couldn't imagine such a scene.

Everyone was chatting happily in the beginning, but towards the end, things started to turn to provoking a fight.

Is this too biased?

Even the style of painting is different!
As the video played second by second, the conversation between the female reporter and Ming Haijiro gradually answered her inner questions.

"What do you think of Mr. Kimura's message?"

The female reporter looked at Ming Haijiro and her voice became more serious than before.

At the same time, that line of message was posted on the video.

[Kimura Naoto: My song is very suitable for "Summer Trails". I look forward to working with Director Ming Hai. I believe that our cooperation will spark the same sparks as before. I believe that you have the ability to recognize heroes with wisdom. ]

Looking at this line of text, Yuki Hayakawa frowned instinctively.

She had heard of the name Naoto Kimura, a new generation singer who often appeared on TV.

In terms of singing skills alone, he is one of the best young singers. Although his creative ability is average, he has strong resources behind him and has made good progress in the past two years.

But this statement is really too ambiguous.

What do you mean by 'I believe you have the ability to recognize heroes'? This is outrageous.

What I mean is that apart from him, all other singers who left comments in Ming Haijiro’s comment section are trash.

“It’s a good thing for young people to be motivated.”

In the video, Ming Haijiro's answer was flawless.

"Director Minghai's answer is quite elegant, but it makes sense when you think about it. His father is in this line of work."

At some point, Hayakawa Naoko, who was wearing home clothes, sat down next to her and put the fruit plate on the coffee table.

"Dinner is sandwiches. Mom is tired today, so let's take a break."

"Okay, but Director Ming Hai's father also does this?"

Yuki Hayakawa looked at her mother with curiosity.

"Yes, Meikai Jiro's father is called Meikai Tatsuya, a very famous director. Do you remember the movie Snow Flower that I took you to see? That award-winning movie was directed by his father."

Naoko Hayakawa paused and continued.

"However, his father has retired for a long time. It is said that he has now joined Oda Broadcasting Company and is a member of the board of directors.

"Of course, compared to this, I think you should be more concerned about Kimura Naoto."

Hayakawa Naoko said this, deleted the video, clicked on the social networking site familiarly, and entered Kimura Naoto's homepage.

The latter's latest statement was still the one made half a month ago.

He said that his collaboration with "Summer Trails" was a foregone conclusion.

"Why can he say this?"

Yuki Hayakawa frowned even more tightly.

The director has already decided on the cooperating singer. Why not delete this news and keep it to slap yourself in the face?

"Because there's someone behind him."

Naoko Hayakawa's answer was concise and to the point.

"But Ming Haijiro's background is not bad. Will he compromise because of this?"

Yuki Hayakawa asked this question with some confusion.

"Xiao Yuki, think about it again. Cooperation is always a matter between two parties. If you can't put pressure on Ming Haijiro, can't he put pressure on your You?"

Naoko Hayakawa sneered, with a hint of sarcasm in her eyes.

When she was at the peak of her career, she also suffered such suppression.

At that time, she could only bite her teeth and swallow it.

Now, it is not like that anymore.

"I'll call Grandpa Yuzhi right now!"

Yuki Hayakawa said this without even thinking.

At the same time, her body moved faster than her words and had already dialed Yamano Yuzhi's number.

"I'll get a sandwich."

Naoko Hayakawa glanced at her daughter, smiled and shook her head, then stood up and walked towards the kitchen.

Before she could say anything, Yamano Yuzhi hated this kind of pressure and would not give any face to those people.

But her daughter moved too quickly and she didn't even have time to remind her.

However, she was left to her own devices.

The phone rang only once and was quickly connected.

"Hey, Yuki-chan, why did you think of calling me?"

On the other end of the phone, Yamano Yuzhi's voice was still as powerful as ever.

"I have something to ask of you!"

Yuki Hayakawa chose to go straight to the point.

"...So you're not even going to say the opening words now? Aren't you afraid of Grandpa getting mad at you?"

Yamano Yuzhi on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, and said this with a feeling of being at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Yes, very similar.

Shangzi was exactly the same back then.

"Because I know you are magnanimous and won't care about these little things."

Yuki Hayakawa responded quickly.

"...You've convinced me. Tell me, what's the matter?"

Yamano Yuzhi smiled and shook his head, asking the question even though he already knew the answer.

The interview video of Ming Haijiro had just finished playing on his computer screen.

"This is what happened..."

Yuki Hayakawa told the story in a concise and to the point manner.

"I understand the situation, don't worry."

After listening to Yuki Hayakawa's narration, Yamano Yuzhi comforted Yuki Hayakawa in a calm and relaxed manner.

"Grandpa will..."

Just when he was about to say something else, his cell phone suddenly vibrated.

A phone call followed.

Ah.

After taking a look at the caller, he sneered, hung up Yuki Hayakawa and answered this call instead.

Speak of Cao Cao, and here comes Cao Cao.
