I live my life in Tokyo

The boy felt it was a pity when he thought about how most of his acquaintances were unable to go to the beach together due to work.

But it’s okay to have regrets, because it makes me look forward to the next summer vacation with some anticipation and expectation.

This period is also the most popular graduation trip period for high school seniors. In the last summer vacation, they embrace the sunshine with their classmates and friends, sigh in the light of the rising sun, and sigh in the afterglow of the setting sun. For them, this may be the last time to enjoy the vacation with friends.

After the college entrance examination, we all went our separate ways. Looking back, I saw that the once lively group of high school classmates gradually became quieter as time went by, until gradually no one continued to talk. . .

Run before that moment comes.

Grab the target you want to grasp and speak out your inner confession.

The last summer of senior year in high school is a graduation ceremony symbolized by fireworks, celebrations, and the salty smell of sea water.

Kaede Sakakibara took off his sunglasses and looked out the window through the sun visor. He didn't sleep well last night and just took a short nap, so he felt a little more energetic.

Of course, he would never admit that he couldn't sleep because he was too excited about seeing the sea.

Taking a look at the five people sitting around him, Sakakibara Kaede found that their actions were not much different from those of the elementary school students on a spring outing.

With snacks in his mouth and a phone in his hand playing games, he would occasionally glance out the window to see if he had arrived at his destination.

"Senior Sakakibara, you're awake." Shirogane Miyuki, who was sitting next to him, said with concern. He was holding an English vocabulary book in his hand, and it seemed that he had been studying on the way.

"Well, I took a nap and I feel more energetic now."

Sakakibara Kaede unscrewed the bottle cap and took a sip of water, while Shirogane Miyuki also took the opportunity to pinch his temples while talking. The shaking of the car and the reading and memorizing of words made him feel a little dizzy.

"Thank you."

He took the chocolate handed to him by Baiyin Yuxing and put a piece in his mouth. The bitter taste of the dark chocolate dispelled some of the remaining tiredness and brought his mind back to his body.

"Brother Baiyin is very caring."

"Ahahaha, no."

"At school, isn't Junior Baiyin, as the student council president, very concerned about and caring for other student council members?"

Seeing that Shirogane Miyuki was a little embarrassed, Sakakibara Kaede smiled and mentioned the school life episode that was broadcast before. The filming crew followed the filming staff to the school to experience the student's life for a few days.

The study and life at the University of Tokyo made the production team call them experts and hardcore. Of course, the private Shuchiin Academy is no exception.

As a private academy with a very high admission rate, Shuchiin Academy specially arranged many activities for Shirogane Miyuki, letting him lead a tour of the campus, etc. . . They really treated him as an excellent student to promote the school.

Shirogane Miyuki's performance in the filming was perfect - he didn't try to act out anything in particular, but just did what he always does and showed his most authentic self.

This is a huge change from his usual quiet and introverted self in the apartment. In the school student union, Shirogane Yuki is confident and serious, with the demeanor of a senior, which is one of the interesting things that many viewers enjoy talking about.

“I just did what I was supposed to do.”

Baiyin Yuxing smiled and said that these were the responsibilities of the student council president.

"Ah, I saw that too. Shirogane-san is very reliable."

Furuno Fumino, who was sitting in the front, half-knelt in her seat and turned around, resting her head on her arms. "Of course, I also like Sakakibara-senpai's personal shots. It made me understand the University of Tokyo better, after all."

"What? Are you interested in the Department of Economics after seeing this?" Sakakibara Kaede raised his eyebrows slightly. The more junior students who entered the Department of Economics, the more direct descendants he would have, and the more say he would have in the court.

It is not just a dream to one day surpass Yuichi Sakai, the capable minister in peaceful times and the treacherous hero in troubled times.

Furuno Fumino chuckled. What Sakakibara-senpai said was indeed right. After watching that episode, many high school students wondered how many of them would choose the University of Tokyo this year.

She wanted to work in astronomy, but that did not conflict with studying science in college, because Senior Sakakibara had told her before that the major studied in college and the job to be found in the future sometimes had nothing to do with each other.

"Indeed, Sakakibara-senpai's introduction made me want to go to the University of Tokyo as well." Shirogane Miyuki laughed heartily.

Sakakibara Kaede's mouth curled up. Shouldn't the University of Tokyo give him some scholarships? Apart from anything else, he relied on his looks to make a living, and recruited so many students for the University of Tokyo, which was at least a great achievement.

We laughed and talked all the way through the mountains, and the bus drove into Kanagawa Prefecture and headed towards the seaside.

After driving for about half an hour, the bus finally stopped in front of a detached house. A few people looked through the window and found that the size was about the same as the dream apartment in Shibuya.

Several people got out of the car carrying bags and gifts, and a salty sea breeze blew in their faces. This place is very close to the beach.

Pushing open the door of the "holiday cottage", the girls couldn't help but shout out exaggeratedly - the decoration style inside has a strong Mediterranean modern style, and the combination of wooden furniture and white makes people's first impression is comfort. Dragging the suitcase to the floor-to-ceiling window, not far away is the sea that is the same color as the sky.

"Welcome to Dream Apartment Holiday Cottage."

Sakakibara Kaede picked up the letter of introduction on the table. In addition to the introduction to the apartment, it also came with a chore chart - unlike last time when they were in groups of two, this time they were divided into groups.

Oh, naturally there are also tasks for the production team, but Sakakibara Kaede and the others are no longer surprised by these tasks.

"Let's go pack up first. How about we set out to see the sea in half an hour?"

Among the six people, Sakakibara Kaede gradually got used to being the one giving orders. He clapped his hands, attracting everyone's attention.

"Then I'll just change into my swimsuit." Fumino Furuhashi said to herself. She was going to the beach soon anyway, so she might as well change her clothes.

The six people were divided into two groups. After discussion, they decided to go to the beach to enjoy the bathing on the first day and have free activities on the second day.

After taking out the things from his backpack, Kaede Sakakibara walked down the stairs. Except for changing into a pair of swimming trunks, nothing else changed - this place was some distance from the beach, and he couldn't walk on the street with his upper body naked.

The others had the same arrangement. The girls wore their swimsuits over their short-sleeved T-shirts, changed into sandals in front of the door, and walked out in twos and threes.

"I haven't been to the beach very often." Shirogane Miyuki said as he walked beside Sakakibara Kaede.

No chance? Or no time?

Sakakibara Kaede didn't say anything for a while. He knew about Shirogane Miyuki's family situation, or rather, the other five of them knew about it.

Whether it was from his self-introduction when he first moved in, or his careful budgeting in his later life, Sakakibara Kaede could see what Shirogane Miyuki's financial situation was like.

On the contrary, it was Shirogane Miyuki's hard work that made Sakakibara Kaede see some shadows of his past in him.

Although the two have fewer filming tasks together, they are considered a good pair in the dream apartment. In the eyes of the audience, they are kind and gentle, very caring, and do not get involved in emotional trivia. Many female viewers have positioned them as high-quality males.

"By the way, what is Shirogane doing during the summer vacation?"

"Ah, it's Xiaogui, right?" Shirogane Miyuki said with a smile, "She went out to play with her classmates these past two days. I used to think that she spent too much time studying and had no social interaction. It's great that she listened to my advice."

Shirogane Yuxing admitted that he had a younger sister, and the boy had run into the brother and sister interacting several times near Dream Apartment. After a while, they naturally started calling each other "senior" and "junior".

Well, there are quite a few sisters around me.

Thinking of a certain Miura, a certain Yuki, a certain Sakurajima, and the Shirogane in front of him, Sakakibara Kaede snorted softly.

Because this incident reminded him of the original owner's family, Sakakibara Kaede couldn't help but feel a little irritated. It would be better if they could send a message whether the original owner's father was alive or dead. Just stop the living expenses, and just tell him if he wants to form a new family. At least with the news, he could put his last thoughts to rest.

"I'll have to ask my teacher to write me a letter of recommendation when school starts."

When Shirogane Miyuki talked about applying to American universities, he became quite eloquent. Sakakibara Kaede listened, nodded, and interjected a few words, trying his best to give Shirogane Miyuki some advice.

"By the way, have you told your friends about this?" Sakakibara Kaede coughed lightly, "You are about to apply to an American university."

Baiyin Yuxing's originally upright back bent slightly. He pursed his lips and finally sighed, "No."

"Then you have to tell them."

The boy looked up at the waves in the distance and took a breath of the wet sea breeze. "There is only half a year left in the third year of high school. There is not much time left for reunion. Even if we have to separate one day, the memories and the bond will still be there."

"Tell your friends, let them know where you're going to be in the future, they have the right to know."

Shirogane Miyuki looked at the black-haired young man's free and easy back with admiration, "Sakakibara-senpai's senior year of high school must be very exciting."

Hearing this, Sakakibara Kaede smiled bitterly and said, "No, don't learn from me. My senior year of high school is not a story I can be proud of."

He paused, and seeing that Baiyin Yuxing was still somewhat curious, he chuckled and told the story of the past.

Sakakibara Kaede's high school life was definitely not brilliant. Looking back, she just sat quietly in a corner by the window, watching the lively youth in the class with indifferent eyes.

He didn't say much, but just described in a calm tone what he had seen, experienced, and felt when he was a senior in high school.

Shirogane Miyuki pursed his lips. Seeing the boy's open-minded smile now, he suddenly had an urge to go back to the past and help senior Sakakibara get out of the haze.

Chizuru Ichinose, who was walking in front, fell behind by half a step. She heard Kaede Sakakibara talk about his experience of staying at home, but she didn't hear him tell her the reason. She clenched her fists. She wanted to know more about Sakakibara-senpai, just like Sakakibara-senpai knew her - what was the inner world of that gentle senior with a gentle smile like?

She knows nothing.

"Look! It's the sea!"

Nanami Aoyama pointed to the sea not far away. From this position, she could see everything in the beach.

"Ohhhhhh!"

While the atmosphere crew was cheering, Sakakibara Kaede took out his phone to check the beach. The result was a bit shocking. This production crew must have some money, and this beach is not cheap.

This is probably why there are so few tourists here.

The boy lifted his bangs in the sea breeze, wore sunglasses and walked into the beach in sandals.

The sand inevitably sank into my sandals, soft, fine, yet scorching hot.

Kaede Sakakibara and Miyuki Shirogane took the parasols, stalls and lounge chairs from the filming crew. With their prior preparations, they started working directly, while the girls began applying sunscreen.

If this were a school harem anime, there would definitely be a scene where the heroines would actively ask the heroes to apply sunscreen on them.

Kaede Sakakibara was wearing a thin zippered shirt, revealing a strong body that had been trained for nearly a year, and was gradually moving towards the sea.

By the way, the muscles that Sakakibara Kaede possesses nowadays are not exaggerated. They are not exaggerated enough to attract same-sex fitness hunks to approach him, nor are they so thin that he dare not show them off.

If this is a school harem anime, there will definitely be a plot where the heroines who can't swim ask the hero to teach them how to swim.

Feel the sea water rolling over your ankles, gently washing away the sand remaining on your feet, and then slowly pulling it away.

"Ichinose-san isn't going to go swimming?"

Seeing that Chizuru Ichinose did not go into the water, Kaede Sakakibara left footprints on the beach, walked over to her side and asked.

"I'm doing warm-up exercises."

Ichinose Chizuru rubbed her wrist, and when she saw the figure of Sakakibara-senpai, she didn't know where to put her eyes under her sunglasses.

Her face felt a little hot for a moment, and she just wanted to jump into the sea to cool down and cool down her brain that was filled with strange thoughts.

Seeing her walking towards the sea in two steps, Sakakibara Kaede glanced sideways at the production crew who were filming, smiled at the camera, took off her zippered shirt and put it on the lounge chair, then walked towards the blue sky.

Kaede Sakakibara missed that feeling, the sea breeze blowing on her face.

It was the same color as his eyes.

As the waves surged, Sakakibara Kaede suddenly had a sense of déjà vu.

It seems that this is how Higuchi Madoka's group makeup photos were taken.

In the sea, it turns into a swimming fish.

Chapter 33: A Woman with a Dark and Evil Taste

After going through thousands of hardships, he is still a young man when he returns.

Sakakibara Kaede walked on the sand back to the lounge chair and stretched her body.

He just swam a few times back and forth, which was considered to be exercising his body, but considering that he had activities in the afternoon, he didn't continue to burn energy.

As the sun reached the center, the group felt hungry and walked together to the restaurant at the beach.

Live by the sea, eat from the sea. The closer you are to the sea, the more seafood there is on the menu. Sakakibara Kaede sat in front of the window and turned his head to look out.

Now, any frame of Kaede Sakakibara recorded by the filming crew can be used as a wallpaper.

"Did you enjoy your trip?"

Kaede Sakakibara smiled at Chizuru Ichinose who was sitting opposite her. Her hair was wet and hung on her shoulders, and her face was flushed with a healthy blush. She also followed the boy's example and put on a zippered shirt, which not only protected her from the sun but also covered her skin.

"Hey, I learned how to swim in elementary school, and I didn't expect I still remember it now." The girl chuckled, "Sakakibara-senpai swam extremely fiercely, and his image of swimming against the waves and fighting with other high school students left a deep impression on me."

Sakakibara curled her lips and said, "Ichinose-san, this is just your superficiality. A person needs to fight for his life. Right now, I am facing a small wave and I have to go all out when facing high school students. This is also the case when facing auditions in the future. This is exactly the attitude towards life I choose, the attitude of loving life."

“What you love is your life.”

Chizuru Ichinose blinked her big eyes, thinking that what Senior Sakakibara said made some sense.

Sakakibara Kaede coughed lightly. The above was all made up by him on the spot. As for racing with a few high school students... How can that be called fighting? It was clearly healthy competition.

But in the end, these high school students actually wanted to use a rotation system to sneak attack on him, a highly respected senior from the University of Tokyo. That was really unsportsmanlike.

"Sakakibara-senpai, have you received any news about the winter season audition?"

Ichinose Chizuru asked tentatively.

Sakakibara knew that Chizuru Ichinose was a novice in this area, so she waved her hand and said, "The winter season is not that early, and the autumn season is only halfway through. It will be almost there in September after the summer vacation. That's when information about the new season's TV series and movies will appear. September is also a peak period for auditions."

"Amazing..." Ichinose Chizuru exclaimed. I don't know if she was impressed by Sakakibara-senpai's knowledge of intelligence or his proficiency. "When can I get my first role?"

"It'll be soon. Try your best this September. Pat Iida-san's horse. He might find you an audition for the female lead role."
