Sakura's father smiled, his tone slightly teasing: "But what was the result? He chose you."

"Of course, this is not just because of the reasons he said. I think he is more or less desperate."

"A desperate attempt to find a cure?" Sakura Ayane's expression became even more confused. "What do you mean?"

"Among these colleagues who have a good relationship with him, there may be one or two people who he thinks are of great help to him, right?"

"...Yes, it is true." Sakura Ayane recalled seriously that Ueda and Nana did give Uehara Toru a lot of support and help in his work, and Xiaoshui even guided his acting many times...

"But that's the problem. If there's only one such person, it's fine, but when there are more of them, he won't be able to handle them properly."

Sakura's father paused, giving his daughter a moment to digest the information, and then continued, "Judging from his current choices, I think he's a bit like weighing the relationship between 'favor' and 'feelings'."

"What do you mean?" Sakura Ayane couldn't help but ask.

"In his opinion, the kindness these colleagues showed him may be more important than friendship or love. This means that he feels more of a sense of responsibility towards these colleagues than pure liking for them."

"..."

"From his perspective, he is not as relaxed as he says. He has realized that once he really interacts with these colleagues who have been very helpful to him, he will disrupt the existing interpersonal balance - not only the relationship between him and them, but also the atmosphere of the entire work circle."

"So, he would rather continue to maintain a friendly but not cross-border relationship than take the risk of choosing a romantic relationship with any of them."

"...It sounds like it makes sense." Sakura Ayane nodded thoughtfully.

Sakura's father smiled slightly and continued, "Then why did he choose you? Because in his opinion, you are the most open-minded person to him, and the only one who does not have to feel the psychological burden of being bound by 'favors'."

"Besides, you have a good relationship with these people, so it's perfect for you to be the buffer point."

Sakura Ayane's expression suddenly turned ugly.

"So, I'm the one being used?"

"Silly!" Mrs. Sakura slapped her daughter on the thigh.

"This long paragraph of your father's analysis should be the logic of why he did this. It's not important at all."

"It's really not important." Sakura's father was not angry, but agreed with a smile.

"Ayane, do you think he's lying to you?"

Sakura Ayane hesitated a little: "I didn't think so at first, but now my father says so..."

"He didn't lie to you. He really thought so. But sometimes, people don't even know the deepest reasons why they do something. Just like why you like him, do you really know the reason?"

"…I really don't know." Sakura Ayane felt a little dizzy.

Her parents' level is much higher than hers, and she is a little overwhelmed.

"It's OK if you don't know. What your father is talking about now is the logic of his behavior, which is also his weakness. You just need to know these two things, then hold him tightly in your hands, continue to have a stable relationship with him, and slowly form a tacit understanding that only the two of you have, and then it will be done."

"The most important thing is that you like him too, it's that simple." It was the first time that Mrs. Sakura said so many words. Before this, she was just in a state of watching the fun, but now she felt that her daughter was easily shaken, and she began to get anxious.

If she does something shocking afterwards, she will let the duck run away.

The one who was angry to death was not Mrs. Uesaka, but herself.

"Okay, that's all for today. Go upstairs and sleep."

"Oh……"

Mrs. Sakura couldn't help but glare at her husband after her daughter left.

"Don't make trouble!"

"Sorry sorry."

Sakura's father chuckled and said, "It's my professional disease. I always like to analyze this kind of thing."

"Hey...Ayane is very delicate and sensitive."

"Is this Toru Uehara really that outstanding?" After all, Sakura's father had never met him formally. He just saw his face when he rolled down the car window this morning.

Mrs. Sakura just sighed, "It's just a dream that every young girl would have."

"Dream girl?"

"If I were twenty years younger, you wouldn't have a chance to do anything."

Sakura's father wasn't angry when he heard his wife say that.

This kind of talk is just a joke.

Moreover, he felt that even if his daughter didn't say these things, she would still think about them silently by herself.

She is loyal and righteous, and there are too many things she can't let go of. This is both her strength and weakness.

If this was not the case, why would she have been obsessed with her friendship with Mizuno Inori for more than a year and not made other friends?

-

After taking a shower, Sakura Ayane lay on the bed, her mind still a mess.

Of all the things her father said just now, the only two words she could understand were "gratitude" and "emotion".

She really didn't have any favors to say towards Toru Uehara. If she had to say something, taking him to host the radio show together could barely count as one.

Everything else had nothing to do with him, including his main role, and the more audition opportunities he got later.

But Xiaoshui did do him a favor.

Although she didn't understand it in detail, in addition to teaching acting, Xiaoshui should have given him some opportunity once.

I don’t know if he knows about this now?

She is indebted to him and also likes him, and Xiaoshui is obviously a very proactive person.

Sakura Ayane imagined a scene where Toru Uehara rejected Komizu after she confessed to him and said that he already had a girlfriend.

Then at this time he walked out from the side and took Toru Uehara's hand.

If the scene was like this, what expression would Xiaoshui have?

Could she really not take this seriously?

Now that she has finally returned to her innocent and cute state, will she really be like Toru Uehara said, not caring that much, and still be able to smile and wish them the best?

No matter which one it was, Sakura Ayane felt very guilty.

愧。

uncomfortable.

Unable to be truly happy.

There are others too.

Senior, you are not a gentle person, but I am.

Hey……

-

Mizuno Inori didn't know that Sakura Ayane was still worried about her own affairs. For her, every day was a good day.

Because she had expectations.

Around the end of February, she will start holding her own solo performances.

At that time, I will reveal the violin I have practiced in front of my fans to show my achievements.

Now she is gradually gaining praise from her teacher because she has honestly started to practice according to the basics, and it is obvious that her basic skills have become more solid.

But in her opinion, this was obviously the credit of Toru Uehara@四霖蒐索∑UN:.

She was very grateful to Toru Uehara.

After finishing recording the January anime series today, she took the script and prepared to go to a nearby restaurant for a meal.

As it happened, I saw Toru Uehara at the gate.

She felt a little surprised and quickened her pace.

"Tetsu-kun!~"

"What a coincidence!" Mizuno Qi greeted her with a smile, a little breathless, while holding the script.

Uehara Toru was stunned, looked at Mizuno Inori, and nodded lightly: "It is indeed quite a coincidence."

When it comes to how he interacts with these friends of the opposite sex, Toru Uehara will start to be more careful about the proper manner.

"Tetsu-kun, are you waiting for someone?"

"Yeah, I'm waiting for Ayane."

"Ayane?" When Mizuno Inori heard this name from Uehara Toru's mouth, she was stunned for a moment.

But I soon felt relieved. Well, this is normal. After all, it seems that they are working together again recently.

Unfortunately, I was attending other auditions at that time. If we have a chance to work together again, it will probably be in early March for "Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma".

By then I must get a role and strive for more opportunities to meet them!

Xiaoshui silently cheered herself up.

"Tetsu-kun, how about we go in and wait? And then have lunch together?"

"...Xiao Shui, I have something to tell you."

As soon as Uehara Toru finished his words, he was stopped by Sakura Ayane who was not far away.

She called out to Uehara Toru loudly: "Wait!"

"Do not talk!"

Then he quickly came in front of the two of them.

The snow stopped today, but Sakura Ayane still wrapped herself tightly.

She blushed as she looked at Uehara Tetsu and said, "Senior, Xiao Shui, you guys..."

"Are you okay, Ayane?" Xiao Shui patted Sakura Ayane's back and asked with concern.

"..."

"It's okay, Xiaoshui, you go in first, I want to talk to the senior alone."

"Oh... okay." Xiaoshui nodded, went ahead and went in to find a seat.

"senior."

"Were you planning to tell her that I was dating you?"

"Yes."

"……Can't."

"...I remember I had already discussed this with you when we were dating before."

"I don't care!" Sakura Ayane chose to use her own unreasonable skills.

"Anyway, you are not allowed to tell Xiao Shui, or those who like you, or Ren Cai either!"

Uehara Toru frowned slightly: "..."

"If you tell anyone, we'll break up."

Here we go again, the classic breakup threat.

But this time was different from the last time when she was just joking. It was obvious that Sakura Ayane was serious.

Uehara Toru's face instantly turned expressionless.

"Then go eat by yourself."

"..."

Uehara Toru turned around and left without looking back.

Sakura Ayane looked at Uehara Toru's indifferent back, was stunned for a moment, her eyes slightly red, but she held it back and started to go in to see Mizuno Inori.

When Mizuno Qi saw that she was the only one coming in, she was a little confused.

"What's going on, Ayane?"

"It's okay, I just had a quarrel with my senior."

"..." Mizuno Qi was also left speechless by her.
