Chapter 360 She is wavering [4K4]

Unlike the sunny Saturday, it rained coldly in Tokyo again over the weekend.

Amid the sound of falling rain, the dry ground was gradually moistened, and a slightly damp and cold coolness also quietly emerged. The cold wind blew, and the pedestrians holding umbrellas on the street all shrank their bodies.

The icy rain that came with the cold air came so suddenly that most people didn't have time to put on more clothes.

“So I really don’t like rainy days.”

In the cafe outside the flower shop, Naoko Hayakawa, who was sitting by the window, looked at the rain outside the window and couldn't help but sigh.

Thanks to the sudden cold rain, the pedestrian street, which was quite bustling in the past, suddenly became much quieter, and the remaining passers-by on the road were mostly walking in a hurry, completely different from the leisurely pace of previous weekends.

"If I remember correctly, didn't you say you liked rainy days when you were interviewed before?"

Matsushima Rie yawned and two tears squeezed out of the corners of her eyes.

She really wasn't awake yet.

She has been overwhelmed with work during this period. Although yesterday was a day off, she still worked overtime until three in the morning in order to complete the sudden work.

Before falling asleep, she was still thinking that no matter what, she must sleep until she wakes up naturally today. Even if eight million gods came, they would have to wait until she wakes up.

But sadly, she was not woken up by the eight million gods, nor by the work emails, nor by the alarm clock that she had already turned off. Instead, she was forced to turn on her phone by a call from Hayakawa Naoko.

"People change. Things that you like when you are young may not be liked by you when you are middle-aged. It's just like stuffed toys. You may think they are cute when you are young, but you may think they are childish when you are older."

Naoko Hayakawa shook her head, looked away, picked up the coffee spoon and stirred her cup of cappuccino.

As she stirred, the heart-shaped latte art in the coffee cup disappeared.

"Not really. I loved eating Napoleon cake when I was in high school, and I still like it now."

Matsushima Rie took a deep breath and rubbed her face hard.

She was really sleepy.

These two days of vacation are her first rest in this month.

As a result, she worked overtime yesterday and today too. Maybe she was born to be a hard worker.

“So it still depends on the person.”

She picked up her cup of black coffee and took a big gulp.

The bitter taste blossomed on the tip of her tongue and then traveled to her cerebral cortex, slightly perking up her tired nerves.

"When you are old, you will understand what I mean."

Naoko Hayakawa also picked up the coffee and took a sip.

She added more milk to her cappuccino, and two sugar cubes, so it wasn't bitter at all, and was even a little sweet.

"You mean you have arthritis in your knees?"

Matsushima Rie raised her eyebrows and blinked mischievously.

One of her colleagues has synovitis. According to her colleague, this disease is a chronic disease. It is not a big deal on weekdays, but it is very uncomfortable on rainy days. The joints feel sore and astringent, and they can't use any strength.

This also led to her colleague basically saying goodbye to short skirts. Even in summer, her colleague always wore long pants.

But sometimes you can see her wearing a skirt, but it's the kind of super long skirt that covers her ankles.

Being dignified is dignified, and being elegant is also elegant, but having to choose only this one, and having the ability to choose many but finally choosing this one, are ultimately different feelings.

"How is that possible?" Naoko Hayakawa rolled her eyes. This person was really asking for trouble. "I have a physical checkup twice a year, and I always exercise and walk according to my ability. How could I have arthritis?"

Her annual physical examination report always focuses on health.

"Then why do you say 'approaching old age'?"

Matsushima Rie asked with some curiosity.

"Because my mother has bursitis. She feels very uncomfortable when it rains, especially when it is rainy." Hayakawa Naoko paused, "Let's get back to the topic. What do you think of Jay's future?"

She accompanied Yuki and You to record the whole process yesterday.

From the amazement at the beginning, to the emotion in the middle, to the numbness at the end, she really had an indescribable feeling.

A more appropriate description is that the worldview has collapsed.

When she was the same age as You, her singing skills were far ahead of You's.

But the problem is that she started learning systematically since she was young, while You was a latecomer.

As for whether the child was hiding his incompetence at the beginning, she was very sure that he was not.

The simplest truth is, is there really anyone who would joke about his or her own song or future just to show off?
The answer must be no.

That's why she felt numb.

We are all human beings, with two hands, two feet and a head, but his talents are so abnormal that he doesn't seem like a human being.

She remembered very clearly that when she first entered the music scene, many seniors said that her talent was exaggerated and that she was a talented singer that was rarely seen in decades or even hundreds of years. In addition, she had a good voice and outstanding functions. In one word, it was as if God himself brought her food and fed her with a spoon.

Although she was happy about this evaluation at that time, she did not care too much about it. After all, in her opinion at that time, other people were telling the truth, and there was no need to show her joy just for the sake of telling the truth.

In fact, this is true. She beat all the singers in the same batch and became the most dazzling and shining star without a doubt.

At that time, she felt that the future of the Japanese music scene belonged to her.

Now it seems that her conclusion was a little too early.

Even if she had not been blinded by love at that time, had not chosen to quit, and had continued to shine in the music industry, in the end, her era would still have been ended by You.

Whether she likes it or not, the baton will eventually be passed from her hands and held in his hands.

"It's safe to say that he will become the most famous singer in the next ten years."

Matsushima Rie rubbed her eyes, turned her head, and her gaze passed the glass that was wet and left water marks by the rain, and fell on the umbrellas that were open on the street, like blooming flowers.

"What if we say it in a less conservative way?"

Naoko Hayakawa pursed her red lips.

"Then, he will become the greatest singer of this century." Matsushima Rie paused, then shook her head and chuckled, "Of course, this is just my personal wishful thinking, don't take it seriously."

To be honest, not only others but even she herself doesn't quite believe this evaluation.

But deep down in her heart, she did feel that way.

"…If you were me, would you stop him from dating Yuki?"

Hearing this, Naoko Hayakawa was silent for a full half minute. After rubbing her temples, she finally spoke the rest of the story.

"Why are we suddenly talking about this?"

Matsushima Rie frowned and looked at Hayakawa Naoko with some uncertainty.

She really didn't quite get her idea. If I remember correctly, she had just discussed this issue with Hayakawa Naoko during the New Year this year, or rather, it was Hayakawa Naoko who discussed this issue with her.

She still remembers the conclusion at that time. Hayakawa Naoko's original words were, "It is better to guide than to block." Let them develop first and I will wait and see.

As a result, just half a year later, Naoko Hayakawa started to feel conflicted again.

She even suspected that the Naoko Hayakawa, who used to not think too much after making a decision, had been replaced.

The person she had in mind was not like this.

"I'm just a little... worried." Hayakawa Naoko hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke about the whole story, which could also be said to be her mental journey. "Yesterday Yuki came to our place to record a song, and I accompanied Yuki throughout the whole process."

"Ah."

Matsushima Rie adjusted her sitting posture slightly, folded her hands on the table, and looked like she was listening attentively.

"At first, I didn't think there was anything wrong. I just felt a little jealous. I couldn't wake Yuki up on weekends, but because You was coming, Yuki got up early by herself."

At this point, Naoko Hayakawa pursed her lips, her eyes full of undisguised jealousy.

If you think about it carefully, it is indeed the case. Even her words as a mother are not so effective!

As a result, a boy of the same age forced Yuki to obey his orders.

"Girls in love are like this, and you've been through that, too."

Matsushima Rie met Hayakawa Naoko's gaze and pursed her lips.

Strictly speaking, Hayakawa Naoko is the least qualified to say this. When teacher Chieko was teaching her, she complained about this a lot. Teacher Chieko said that she had never seen such a love-brained person in her life.

He really didn't want a career for love, so he just threw it away.

"Well, that's true." Hayakawa Naoko sighed, "Thinking carefully, I don't think I have the right to say anything about Yuki.

"Forget it, let's not dwell on this anymore, I'll continue.

"During breakfast, Yuki suggested that You hum a new song so she could get a feel for it. Of course, part of the reason was that she wanted me to see the talent of the person she liked."

Not to mention Xiao Yuki, anyone who has come into contact with this girl can see the little thoughts that Xiao Yuki has.

"Then?"

Matsushima Rie tilted her head.

"Then he started humming songs, one was 'Loser' and the other was 'I Once Thought of Ending It All'." Naoko Hayakawa paused, "Both songs were of very good quality, especially the latter, which was outrageous and could be performed on the Red and White Songs Contest."

The only thing that puzzled her was how You, who was only seventeen or eighteen years old, could write the kind of songs that could only be written after experiencing great ups and downs in life.

"Isn't that great? It proves that Yuki-chan's vision is correct."

The doubt in Matsushima Riie's eyes became more and more intense.

"Yes, her vision is indeed better than mine when I was young, but..." Naoko Hayakawa took a deep breath, "After singing the chorus of the last song, he seemed to be excited and sang another song.

"As always, it's a song I haven't heard before and it's of absolutely top quality.

"I don't know if you can understand that feeling. In his hands, many singers regard songs as treasures, or songs that made them famous. He takes them out just like he takes out a 100 yen coin."

The most important thing is that after he took it out, he didn't have the slightest expression as if he had done something remarkable. His look was as natural as if he just bought a bottle of milk coffee.

"..."

This time, it was Matsushima Rie's turn to remain silent.

She had thought that Du Bianyou's inspiration would not dry up in a short period of time, and would not even decrease, but she really didn't expect it to be to this extent.

Not only will it not run out of steam, it will even become more powerful as the battle goes on.

"After recording the songs, he sang all the songs he had hummed in their entirety." Hayakawa Naoko sighed, "After listening to him sing, I only had one feeling."

"What does it feel like?"

Matsushima Rie looked at her face.

"It's possible that he and Yuki won't be together." Naoko Hayakawa lowered her eyebrows. "Do you know how many conditions must be met for a healthy relationship? I mean, the kind that can develop into a husband-and-wife relationship?"

"Three, right? After all, marriage is two young people coming together to resist risks together."

To be honest, Matsushima Rie found this question a bit difficult because she had never been married.

But since people asked, she had no choice but to answer.

"Yes, but your last sentence is irrelevant, although the concept is correct." Hayakawa Naoko paused, "When it comes to the stage of marriage, apart from temporary impulsive situations, to maintain the marriage, the major premise is to meet the mutual assistance.

“Secondly, mutual assistance can be divided into three aspects.

"The first point is to help each other emotionally, that is, to become each other's spiritual harbor. To put it in a more fashionable way, it is to give each other emotional value and give each other spiritual comfort when the other party needs comfort.

“The second point is to help each other financially, just like you said, two young people should jointly resist unknown risks.

“The third point is to help each other in life, that is, to tolerate each other’s shortcomings and help each other grow.

"Then you can look back at the relationship between him and Yuki and see how much they are satisfied with."

This is also the core point of Watanabe Yu, or the more Jay shows his talent, the more complicated her heart becomes.

In terms of appearance, both Hamabe Ryoko and Amamiya Ayana are no worse than Yuki. In terms of personal abilities, they also have their own strengths and can help him in his career.

By this calculation, her precious daughter was really surrounded by enemies on all sides.

Even though they have reached a 'contract' among the young people, how long can this 'contract' last? Or can it really be guaranteed to remain the same in the future?

She believed that You was a loyal person, but the problem was that being loyal and being attractive were two different things.

When Yuki is completely outshined by Ryoko and Ayana, no matter how loyal he is, he will pay less attention to Yuki.

Yuki is the kind of person who cares about such things.

It would be strange if there were no conflicts at that time.

Of course, she also...

"I think you're thinking too much. Forgive my directness, but what I mean is, can you also look at Yuki from a developmental perspective?"

Matsushima Rie sat up straight and expressed her opinion solemnly.

"Don't worry about things that haven't happened, okay? Even if you want to worry, can you communicate with them first? For example, find some time to talk to You alone.

"Only communication can solve the problem. Just thinking about it by yourself is meaningless except scaring yourself, because all these worries will directly lead to one result, which is to force Yuki and You to separate. Think about it, will Yuki agree?
"Or do you want to emotionally change a decision you've already made because of an unknown factor that hasn't happened yet, or even if you're not sure if it will actually happen?

“I think you should reconsider and meet with You Jian and have a chat instead of analyzing it unilaterally here.

"There's no reason to feel inferior to a man just because he's too good.

"This is not the logical thinking that a normal person should have, or rather, this is not the logical thinking that a mother should have. Besides, in the beginning, wasn't it you who asked someone to find connections to help him?
"He is not the kind of ungrateful person. I think you should know this better than me."
