She quickly stuck her head out to look towards Ryoma Ezaki and Ruby Hoshino, only to see that the two had separated at some point.

At this time, Kurokawa Akane also trotted up to the two of them and said something to them.

"So it seems that Chi Yin didn't see what happened just now?"

Nobuyuki Kumano also stuck his head out and said after seeing this scene.

"Either MEM is under stress, or Chi Yin didn't see it. There are only these two possibilities."

Kengo Morimoto added.

"The first possibility can be eliminated!"

MEM complained unhappily.

As the three were talking, they saw Kurokawa Akane suddenly pointing in their direction.

The three of them were startled and quickly retracted their heads, speaking in a terrified tone.

"No way? Why did Chiyin sell us out so decisively?"

Nobuyuki Kumano grabbed his hair, as if he had already seen the scene of himself being arrested and imprisoned for peeping.

"Haven't you figured it out yet? Akane has a crush on Ezaki, so of course she's on Ezaki's side."

Kengo Morimoto's tone also became a little flustered.

"Wait a minute, Akane-chan doesn't even know that we gathered here to spy on them, how can we conclude that she betrayed us?"

In the end, MEM啾 was the calmest and gave the most accurate answer.

"She certainly didn't betray you."

Ryoma Esaki also confirmed MEM啾's inference.

"Right, right! How could a child as innocent and kind as Akane-chan do something like betraying us?"

MEM nodded repeatedly in agreement, and only then did she suddenly realize that something was wrong.

She turned her head stiffly, only to see that Ryoma Ezaki had come to the crowd without her noticing.

"She didn't betray you, but..."

Ryoma Esaki smiled kindly and finished the rest of the sentence.

"...You have confessed it yourself."

Chapter 23 Delete your post bar for me!

In a barbecue restaurant, Ryoma Ezaki and six others were sitting around a table.

In the middle of the table, an electric oven was emitting scorching heat, roasting the pork belly slices on it until they were sizzling with oil.

To the left of Ryoma Ezaki, Akane Kurokawa was holding a pair of tongs in each hand, staring at the grilled meat on the plate.

When the meat was cooked to perfection, she quickly reached out the tongs in her right hand, picked up the meat, and placed it on a plate beside her.

Then, she picked up a new piece of meat with the tongs in her left hand and put it on the oven to fill the empty space.

The whole set of movements was done smoothly and in one go, and it was obvious that it was the result of hard practice.

On the right side of Ryoma Ezaki, Ruby Hoshino was also busy, working hard to clean up the grilled meat, with her cheeks stuffed bulging.

Opposite him, MEM啾 and the other three were sitting upright, with their heads down and not daring to look at Ryoma Ezaki.

"MEM, Axin, Jianwu, the meat is ready, why don't you eat it?"

Ryoma Ezaki smiled as he swept his eyes across the faces of the three people opposite him. Everyone who was caught in his gaze shuddered.

"Um... Liang, if you want to blame someone, blame me. It was my idea."

Finally, Nobuyuki Kumano plucked up the courage and decided to take on the responsibility himself.

"I brought Kengo to find you. MEM was the last to come. It's none of their business!"

"Ah Xin, what are you talking about? Why don't I understand?"

Ryoma Esaki looked puzzled.

As he said that, he turned and asked Kurokawa Akane beside him.

"Chiyin, do you know what they are saying?"

"I don't understand either, Kumano-kun, weren't you discussing where to have dinner?"

Kurokawa Akane also looked puzzled and looked at Kumano Nobuyuki.

"Uwaaa! Don't look at me with such innocent eyes!"

Nobuyuki Kumano raised his hands to block Kurokawa Akane's sight, and his exaggerated movements seemed as if he was burned by something.

If he admitted what they were doing here, wouldn't he be admitting that he had deceived Akane Kurokawa, and would he also be exposing what happened between Ryoma Esaki and Ruby Hoshino?

Under the double injury, he couldn't speak.

The inner torment suffered by MEM啾 nearby was no less than that of Nobuyuki Kumano.

After all, it was Nobuyuki Kumano's idea to peek at Ryoma Esaki and Ruby Hoshino, but it was her doing to deceive and conceal Akane Kurokawa.

Kengo Morimoto secretly regretted why he followed them in making trouble.

Looking at everyone's reactions, Ryoma Ezaki roughly understood the whole story.

——Maybe they saw that scene.

Jiang Qiliang thought sincerely.

Let's go back half an hour in time.

On the set, Ruby Hoshino, contrary to her usual behavior, took the initiative to pull Ryoma Ezaki and ran to a place where there were no cameras.

There are usually two main types of lenses on the set, one is a fixed lens, and the other is a moving lens held by the photographer.

Usually, Ryoma Esaki would just hide from the photographer's camera, and would not deliberately hide from the fixed camera.

After all, they have signed an agreement, so it is impossible for them to not show up on the show at all.

In comparison, the content captured by fixed lenses has a fixed perspective and is mostly boring and uninteresting, usually serving as a supplement or transition.

He and Ruby Hoshino would not perform too spectacularly in front of the camera, but they would not stand there like wood, motionless and unresponsive.

Everything is just going on as usual with some very ordinary and just enough interactions.

This is Ryoshin Ezaki's way of mediocrity, which emphasizes participation.

Performing too well or too poorly would make both of them stand out too much.

In his previous life, Ryoma Ezaki had seen celebrities who performed badly in every show, but became popular in the end.

Therefore, his policy was to take Ruby Hoshino with him to do some daily and boring things in front of a fixed camera.

We talked about some topics that were not very explosive, made some expected reactions, maintained a certain distance, and there was no progress in the relationship from beginning to end.

It's just like those everyday plain-water, airy novels. Reading them is the same as not reading them at all.

In this way, even if the two have been together from the first episode to the last episode, it will not cause any splash.

It feels like two clumsy people are trying to get closer to each other and want something to happen with each other, but in the end nothing happens.

Without arousing anyone's suspicion, he quietly hid in the show.

Ryoma Ezaki had already explained all this to Ruby Hoshino.

So this time, Ruby Hoshino dragged him to a place where there was not even a fixed camera, and her purpose was obviously not to reduce her presence in the show.

"Ruby, that's enough for here."

Arriving at an open space behind a teaching building, Ryoma Ezaki and Ruby Hoshino sat down on a bench and said.

Ruby Hoshino looked around nervously, and after making sure that there were indeed no cameras and no photographers following them, she spoke mysteriously.

"Ezaki-kun, I have a very serious question to ask you, but you are not allowed to laugh after listening to it."

Ryoma Ezaki looked puzzled. If it was a serious question, why was he laughing?

"go ahead."

"I say...Ezaki-kun, do you know who the current Emperor of Japan is?"

"Uh... I don't know."

Ryoma Esaki has no interest in the Japanese political aristocracy, so he naturally doesn't know this.

"Great, I'm not the only one who didn't know!"

Upon hearing this, Ruby Hoshino patted her chest, breathed a sigh of relief, and then said proudly.

"Do you know? In fact, the current emperor is the man named Sun Xiaochuan!"

“No wonder everyone in that forum calls Japanese their hometown dialect. It turns out they are all real Japanese people!”

"..."

Jiang Qiliang was speechless.

Although he initially took Ruby Hoshino to watch the Sogen Bar for fun, he obviously underestimated the intensity of the pollution of the Sogen Bar by those clichéd Internet memes, and overestimated Ruby Hoshino's mental age and ability to distinguish.

Although she has lived two lives for nearly thirty years in total, due to Ruby Hoshino's upbringing, her mentality is not much different from that of a normal sixteen-year-old JK.

Ryosuke Ezaki is well aware of how amazing those high school students who hang out in the Sun Bar for a long time are.

He didn't want Ruby Hoshino to become like them.

"Ezaki-kun? What are you daydreaming about? Are you shocked by this shocking fact?"

Hoshino Ruby placed her hand in front of Ezaki Ryoma and waved it, saying.

"…Give me your phone."

"What do you want to do?"

"Don't ask, just give it to me."

Although Hoshino Ruby was confused, she still handed the phone to Ezaki Ryoma.

After getting Hoshino Ruby's phone, Ryoma Ezaki's face suddenly turned cold.

He opened Ruby Hoshino's phone, found the Tieba APP, and long-pressed it to uninstall it.

"I'm going to delete your post!"

Chapter 24 You came at the right time

"Eh? Why? Come on!"

When Ruby Hoshino heard this, she became anxious and reached out to snatch her phone back.

She had finally discovered an amusement she had never seen before, and she didn't want to lose it.

"I was wrong. I shouldn't have rashly opened this Pandora's box for you."

Ryoma Ezaki looked heartbroken.

"A place like Sun Bar has an immeasurable bad influence on teenagers like you!"

"Aren't you just one year older than me? Why can you see it?"

Hoshino Ruby was not convinced.

“Because even though I don’t know who the current emperor is, I use the Internet.”

As Ryoma Esaki said this, he used Hoshino Ruby's phone to search for the name of the current emperor and held it in front of her.

And that name certainly couldn't be Sun Xiaochuan.

When Ruby Hoshino saw this, she realized how big of a bummer she had made and her face turned red with shame.

"Do you understand now? Allowing you to play with Tieba again will only harm you."

Ryoma Ezaki said this, put away his phone, and was about to continue uninstalling Tieba.

Ruby Hoshino's eyes narrowed, and suddenly she pounced on Ryoma Ezaki when he wasn't paying attention, and reached out to grab the phone.

However, Ryoma Ezaki was prepared and raised his arm to narrowly avoid Ruby Hoshino's sudden attack.
