When the car drove to where she was, Sakura Ayane was standing on the side of the road with a smile on her face. Uehara Toru rolled down the window and asked in confusion, "Why don't you come up?"
"Senior~" Sakura Ayane said in a soft and tender tone, "Would you please come down with me and chat for a while?"
Toru Uehara looked at her playful appearance and suddenly felt a familiar feeling in his heart.
The dream returned to the time when the two of them got along most naturally.
It's that kind of tea-like feeling with a hint of tea and a bit of playfulness.
Uehara Toru smiled slightly, his tone somewhat doting: "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I just want to talk to you and keep me company." Sakura Ayane looked at him with a smile, her tone hinting at coquettishness.
Toru Uehara shook his head helplessly, drove the car to a temporary parking space on the side of the road, got out of the car and walked to her side.
Sakura Ayane took his hand without hesitation, with a bright smile on her face: "Ahh~ It's so cold!"
Uehara Toru looked down at her and said, "It's not cold now, is it?"
"Senior, you don't understand!" Sakura Ayane said mischievously, "If I didn't say I was cold, how could I hug you so naturally?"
“…You are…”
"Hey," Sakura Ayane looked up at him with a sly gleam in her eyes, "Are you remembering how it felt when we were together before?"
Uehara Toru nodded: "Yes."
"Which one do you like? You are not allowed to say you like both!"
Uehara Toru was forced to smile by her questioning, and replied helplessly: "Then let's go with these three now." 0? 5〗;
"Sincerely?"
"Truthfully."
Hearing this answer, Sakura Ayane raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a smug smile.
She stopped and looked directly at Uehara Toru: "Senior, after dating me for this period of time, do you think you understand what kind of person I am?"
Uehara Toru was slightly stunned, and thought seriously for a while: "Hmm... I think I understand it."
"Humph, you're totally wrong!" Sakura Ayane retorted briskly with a hint of mischief.
"So, Senior, I've made up my mind." She took a deep breath and blinked at him. "In the next ten days, I want you to understand me thoroughly, from the inside out, what kind of person I am."
"Are you mentally prepared?" She tilted her head with a hint of challenge in her eyes.
Uehara Toru looked at her delicate but serious look, couldn't help but laugh out loud, and nodded: "...Okay."
At the same time, a commercial vehicle slowly drove by the street. In the car, Mizuno Inori looked through the window and accidentally saw Uehara Toru and Sakura Ayane standing on the roadside.
Sakura Ayane held Uehara Toru's hand and seemed to be talking about something, and they smiled relaxedly from time to time. Sakura Ayane even trotted and skipped, looking like a happy child, and Uehara Toru just smiled helplessly and cooperated, with tenderness in his eyes.
Mizuno Qi watched this scene quietly, her eyes full of envy. She lowered her head slightly, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, as if she was talking to herself, or to the two people in the distance:
"You two must continue to walk happily together."
At that moment, envy was mixed with a little relief and blessing.
After retracting her gaze, Mizuno Inori took out her phone and opened a forum she often visited. The voice actor forum that she had been silently maintaining condensed many of her past memories.
She stared at the screen for a long time, and finally clicked on the settings and transferred the moderator's authority.
Volume 148: Chapter Chapter Your Lie in April
"Uehara Cafeteria?"
When Toru Uehara was having dinner and chatting with the director and producer, he was a little surprised when he heard about this project.
"Of course, this is just a concept right now, but we all think it's quite interesting. And Uehara-san, we've all heard that you're a good cook, so this could be an opportunity for you."
"Yeah...it is, I am happy to do this job."
"That's great, but to be honest, I really want to try your cooking. The original author also heard that you were trying to recreate their recipe..."
Uehara Toru chuckled and said, "Then please come and be my guests at that time."
"Haha, it's a deal then."
-
After get off work, as the intensity of work decreases, Uehara Toru's life has obviously become much more leisurely. However, even so, he still goes to the recording studio every day, either to record programs or to participate in the production of broadcasts.
The radio program with Sakura Ayane has obviously gradually developed a new format. Uehara Toru sometimes brings in new people, or Sakura Ayane hosts new people, and also invites guests to participate, trying various combinations to keep the program fresh.
But it is not easy to maintain freshness. Fans may be very passionate about their idols at the beginning, but as time goes by, their interest will inevitably wane, and one day they may suddenly get bored and stop being fans. This is perfectly normal.
Therefore, those radio programs that can maintain high popularity for a long time, to a certain extent, rely heavily on the ability of the host and the level of program planning. And Uehara Tetsu also began to feel the rapid dissipation of popularity.
Not only he and Sakura's broadcast popularity is visibly declining, but also Xiao Shui's.
Xiaoshui performed well in that concert and her violin performance was also quite a topic, but even so, she did not attract many new fans and her fan base even decreased.
Maybe the zombie fans have been cleaned up, but it is obvious that the popularity is not so easy to control.
If you want to gain a firm foothold in the industry, you obviously need to continuously and steadily produce excellent works, or cross over into new fields. Short-lived success is meaningless.
From this perspective, what Caiyin said might be correct.
Take your time and be steady.
I have made some progress this year, and I just need to work harder next year.
After Toru Uehara gradually calmed down his mentality, he found that there were actually countless reasons in life that could help convince himself.
Or maybe he really wanted to convince himself.
"Senior, sorry for the wait."
Sakura Ayane walked over from the other side with a smile and patted Uehara Toru's shoulder lightly.
"Ayane."
Uehara Toru turned to look at her, and seeing her bright smile, he couldn't help but ask, "What good thing happened today?"
"Well~ not really, but I have already thought about what to do tonight. Senior, will you accompany me?"
"Ah."
"Let's go then!"
Sakura Ayane's "Ten-Day Appointment" officially begins.
She suggested that, without affecting her daily work, Uehara Toru should accompany her to complete everything she wanted to do during these ten days.
Faced with such a request, Toru Uehara felt a little helpless, but he did not refuse.
The first stop they came to was...vehouse?
Toru Uehara stood at the door, his eyes fell on the poster with the words "With or without Thorns" written on it. He was stunned for a moment, and then he was filled with emotion.
Once upon a time, Thorns Without Thorns was a little-known band that even had trouble getting a chance to perform at Vehouse.
And now, they have become the top stars here, even enough to serve as a publicity highlight to attract audiences.
Sakura Ayane chuckled and said, "Come to think of it, ever since I met Nina and the others, I've never really watched a complete performance of theirs. It was only last Christmas when you performed with them that I got a small taste of their performance."
"I always feel like it would be a shame if I didn't come to see it."
"Regret?" Uehara Toru was a little puzzled. "Can't you come and see me whenever you want in the future?"
"Oh, I just don't have that much time. Senior, please don't dwell on these details!"
Sakura Ayane puffed her cheeks slightly, then took Uehara Toru's hand and led him into the vehouse.
This was her first time to come to such a place as a real audience. Although she had performed on stage as a member of BangDream, those places were much more spacious. Vehouse was more compact and crowded, with a different atmosphere.
Even though there was still half an hour before the show started, the front row was already packed. Fans were covered in all kinds of peripherals, and their passionate emotions could be felt from their backs.
Uehara Toru looked around and couldn't help but smile: "It's getting more and more presentable."
Sakura Ayane looked up at Uehara Toru's expression, smiled, and sighed in her heart that coming here was indeed a good decision.
Although Toru Uehara never took the initiative to talk to her about Nina, it was obvious that he still cared about her very much.
"But, senior, why are you so close to Nina?" asked Sakura Ayane.
"Didn't I tell you...niece..."
"That's a lie, you two don't look alike at all." Sakura Ayane was indeed fooled at first, but after spending more time and observing the details, she realized that it was not the case at all.
And Sumire Uesaka also revealed some information to her, that the last time Uehara Toru's mother met Nina was the first time.
As she is my niece, it's not reasonable at all.
Uehara Toru pondered for a while and said, "Because, she might be my former self, or I just wishfully projected my own image onto her."
"When I see her growing up, I feel very satisfied. It makes up for my previous regrets?"
"After all, when I first came to Tokyo, there was no other Uehara Toru to help me." Uehara Toru smiled and said, "At first I was wondering why my luck was so good since last year. On the one hand, it might be that my luck has really changed. On the other hand, it's just that... you haven't reached that stage yet. There are some people you really can't meet, such as Niina, you, Xiaoshui, Matsuoka-senpai, etc."
"…Does Nina look like you?" Sakura Ayane felt a little confused when she heard his words, but after the Thorny Band came out, she couldn't help laughing at the arrogant and confident child.
If you look at it this way, it is indeed a bit similar.
Maybe Nina only appears to be relatively well-behaved in front of Toru Uehara, and her true side has never been seen by herself.
As the wait was over, the lights on the stage suddenly lit up, the music started, and the performance began.
After more than half a year of intensive performances and almost uninterrupted training, "You Ci Wu Xi" showed amazing tacit understanding and coordination in this performance.
Nina's singing skills have improved significantly. She no longer relies solely on the raw conditions of her body, but incorporates more techniques, and her voice is filled with deeper emotions and layers.
It’s clear that this band doesn’t treat every performance as a routine. They review each performance carefully, find shortcomings and continuously improve.
This cycle allows them to naturally grow into a band that can amaze new audiences and continually surprise old fans.
Rencai stood on the not-so-spacious stage, yet she seemed like a free bird, soaring freely in the ocean of music.
And Toru Uehara, who was standing next to her, was more like a bound eagle and could only watch quietly.
After the performance, Nina and the band members didn't notice that Toru Uehara and Ayane Sakura were also there. When the two walked out of the vehouse, they suddenly heard someone calling Toru Uehara's name from behind.
Looking back, I saw a girl with excellent temperament and stunning appearance. She was wearing a fan uniform with thorns or without thorns, but it could not hide the charm that radiated from the inside out.
Even someone as confident as Sakura Ayane felt the gap between herself and this girl at the first moment when facing her.
This girl was none other than Matsubo Yuka, whom Uehara Toru had met during a blind date in Nagoya.
"I thought I had made a mistake just now, but it turned out to be you, Uehara-kun." Matsubo Yuka walked forward with a smile, greeted both of them, and nodded to Sakura Ayane in a friendly manner.
Uehara Hachito frowned slightly, but then recovered as usual: "You came to see the performance too?"
"Yes, as you can see, I am already a loyal fan of Thorns Without Thorns." Matsubo Yuka smiled, "Their music is really great. Every time I listen to it, I feel happy, just like seeing the sky outside the cage."
"Really... If you like it, buy a few more albums." Toru Uehara said in a calm tone.
"That's natural." Song Dian Xuehua smiled softly, and then seemed to suddenly realize something, "Oh, sorry, did I disturb your date with your girlfriend?"
"Well, I'm fine. Is there anything else?" Toru Uehara did not respond directly, but directly held Sakura Ayane's hand to indicate her identity.
Matsubo Yuka looked at them, still with a decent smile on her face: "Nothing, just a small request. You are Miss Niina's friend, I wonder if you can help me take a photo with them?"
Toru Uehara thought about it for a moment, then nodded, took out his cell phone and contacted An and Subaru.
The relationship with Matsubodono Xuehua still needs to be maintained. After all, she is now his real shield and tool.
Not long after, An He Subaru came over from the lounge, a little out of breath. When she saw Matsubo Yuuka and Sakura Ayane, she was stunned for a moment, and the expression on her face was as if she had accidentally entered a Shura field.
But after listening to Uehara Toru's explanation, she breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Of course, Miss Matsumuro, come with me! Brother Toru, let's go first!"
"Well, today's performance was great." Toru Uehara responded with a smile.
"Hehe, I will tell Ninah about Toru's compliment!" An He Subaru smiled and waved his hand, then left with Matsubara Yuka.
As they gradually faded away, Sakura Ayane felt the invisible pressure finally dissipate. She exhaled softly, thinking to herself:
What a terrible woman.
"thorough."
Sakura Ayane doesn't even call her senior anymore.
"Who was that person just now to you?"
"The blind date I had in my hometown was a very nice person."
