I live my life in Tokyo

There are exactly two months left before the unified examination. According to the man's current deviation value, getting admitted to the University of Tokyo is not a huge challenge at all.

Yuichi Sakai put away Chi Xiao with reluctance and faced the sunset outside the window.

I don't know when the sun has changed direction, and the red afterglow shines on the white snow. It is sparkling occasionally, but it hurts your eyes if you look at it for too long. Too much is as bad as too little.

"Thank you for your guidance, Mr. Sakai."

There were only a few teachers left in the office. At this time, a teacher picked up the textbook and left the classroom. The remedial class of Sobu High School was about to begin. The teaching building gradually became quiet. Most of the students who had finished their club activities wiped off their sweat and put the remaining warmth into the remedial class and advanced class.

These three months are crucial for life and death. Any tiny sentence missed during class can make students regret it during the exam.

"Young man, now is the time to show your talents." Sakai Yuichi said with a smile. He looked at Sakakibara Kaede's tall figure and patted his shoulder vigorously, as if he wanted the boy who showed a lonely smile from time to time to feel his warm heart. "How is life in the crew? Is it hard?"

"Teacher Sakai..."

The man was startled, then grinned.

He envied Kitahara Hiroshi, and at this moment he was also a little envious of Sakakibara Kaede.

He smiled and said, "The people in the crew are similar to my classmates in school. Most of the topics in school are about the topic and gossip, while the topics in the crew are about the acting and rehearsing the lines. The atmosphere in both cases is relatively relaxed. Although I have only been in this working environment for a short time, I think I have already integrated into this working environment. I also have a relatively friendly senior, so I have not encountered any difficulties."

"Haha, that's good. I found a job for you to tutor a few female students with poor grades." Sakai Yuichi muttered, "Let's not talk about your other grades for now, your understanding of science subjects is more than enough to teach your classmates."

He turned around and looked at the young man who was a head taller than him, with a look of satisfaction in his eyes. "But seeing how energetic you are, I think this kind of job is very suitable for you. The road of life is like an infinite number, and everyone has different choices. If you think the road you are walking now is suitable for you, then you might as well continue on."

"Then I choose to continue being an actor and artist." After thinking for a long time, the man spoke with a hint of uncertainty. He became an actor just to make a living. In the future, he will move to Tokyo and his expenses will be even greater, so he may continue on the path of an actor.

He couldn't help but ask himself, did he really like this profession and decided to become an actor?

Maybe I like it because he plays his former self.

Life is unbearable, and the man can't really imagine what life in Tokyo will be like at this moment. Who knows, there might be better job opportunities in the future.

"You, you can make a living with your talent, why do you rely on your face?" Sakai Yuichi pointed at Sakakibara Kaede's face, "I support your decision, but it's different from being disappointed in you!"

"Forehead..."

"Tell me, do you still want those tutoring jobs? After you get admitted to the University of Tokyo, you will leave Chiba, and you will definitely not be able to do your original part-time job. Those tutoring jobs are all in Tokyo. Compared to serving dishes in a restaurant, tutoring is more convenient and comfortable. What do you think?"

Although it was a question, there was a hint of murderous intent in the veteran's eyes: "If you refuse, I will kill you on the spot."

Mon3tr——

"Please keep it for me."

Sakai Yuichi nodded in satisfaction, "That's more like it, tutoring is easy to make money. I heard that those kids are in the first and second year of high school, and they need to take extra classes... It's a bit much, but it's definitely not a problem for you."

Sakakibara Kaede was shocked for a moment by Teacher Sakai's first words, and hurriedly left with the homework given by the veteran. When he returned next time, it would be time for the mock exam.

He faced the sunset, raised his arms to embrace it, stretched himself, and once again saw a being that was out of place in the school.

"Sakurajima-san—you have to wear your school uniform at school."

"Ah, who's calling me?" The beautiful girl with fashionable clothes and light makeup turned her head, her black hair swung out in a beautiful arc, with a hint of teasing on her face, "It turned out to be Sakakibara... Senior, do you really want to see me in school, so I have to call you with honorifics?"

"Yes, I can still teach you as a senior in school." The man raised the right corner of his mouth, "Junior, let me show you——"

"Teaching~Senior, are you a pervert?"

"Your transcript, what are you thinking about?" Sakakibara Kaede frowned. "I don't see that you are going to give up on your studies. If you want to enter the university of your choice, the topic of tutoring is a cliché, but it is necessary."

Sakurajima Mai was full of disbelief. She walked up the stairs and looked down at the man from above. "Sakakibara-senpai, who said that, I wonder how much your deviation is worth."

The man seemed to be stumped by the question, and he held his chin in silence. Seeing this, Mai Sakurajima showed a slightly cruel smile and walked to Sakakibara Kaede, laughing softly, "Ah, someone wanted to pretend to be a senior and failed. Senior is now in the third year of high school, and there are less than ninety days left for the unified college entrance examination. Since we are both actors, it is not impossible for me to give you extra lessons."

"Has Sakurajima-chan studied the senior year courses?" Sakakibara Kaede was really surprised this time.

Sakurajima Mai's fingers played with her long hair, and she smiled with a bit of complacency, "Of course, I'm a genius."

"Okay, I'll take care of it when the time comes." Seeing this, the man didn't want to discourage Mai Sakurajima's enthusiasm, so he just treated it as a game.

"Then it's settled." Sakurajima Mai was very satisfied with Sakakibara Kaede's attitude. She had seen him having a close relationship with teacher Hiratsuka Shizuka before, so he was most likely a liberal arts student.

It seems that she needs to prepare a lot of lessons that men are not good at, such as science, and then watch men suffer setbacks on the spot.

The man was happy, and the girl was happy too. Sakakibara Kaede calmly changed the subject, "How was your work today? Did it go well?"

"The performance of the second male lead is a little..." Sakurajima Mai weighed her words, "Teacher Aoyama was not very satisfied, and he even got angry today, which is rare."

"Nani, what did I miss?"

Sakakibara Kaede felt that something happened on the crew because she was absent, and she missed so much gossip!

It was the same in his previous life. On the days he was absent, big things would often happen in school, and he had to listen to his classmates bragging about who confessed their love to whom, or who beat up whom in the next class.

Miss one day, wait another year!

"I don't understand the role well enough, that's what I think." When talking about work, the junior sister gave 100% of her enthusiasm, "This is the most difficult part of acting. For example, when you, Sakakibara junior, played Kitahara Hiroshi, we could only see Kitahara Hiroshi, not Sakakibara junior. Any role played cannot bring the actor's own characteristics, otherwise there is no point in acting."

"So professional." The man exclaimed.

"You performed brilliantly in this regard, Sakakibara-san. There was no sense of disobedience at all."

The man smiled, walked to Sakurajima Mai, and saw several homework books in the handbag beside her.

Sakakibara Feng raised an eyebrow in surprise, "I thought you came to school just to report and get some grades, how could I have thought you were so serious?"

"I want to go to college, senior~" Sakurajima Mai stuffed the notebook from the locker in front of her into her handbag.

"I also said I wanted to apply to the University of Tokyo."

"It's not certain who is bragging."

Mai Sakurajima glanced at the boastful man and pointed at the bag with her empty hand. "Senior, when a man sees a woman asking for help, it's common sense for him to step forward and help her, right?"

"Who is it? I don't know him."

"I'm going to step on you."

"That's a pity. I only have one pair of shoes." The man saw through the world, "I will worship this pair of shoes. They have the footprints of Senior Sakurajima. It is a great honor for both the shoes and me."

"Ah..." The girl silently took a few steps back away from the pervert.

Although he said so, Kaede Sakakibara still lifted the rather heavy handbag. Mai Sakurajima quietly looked at his profile, and when she saw that he didn't show any reluctance, she withdrew her gaze.

Sakakibara Kaede wrapped his black suit tightly around himself, put his handbag on his shoulder, and blew a breath into his palm.

"Where are you going, the subway station or home?"

"Senior, do you want to know my address so you can attack me at night?"

"Hehehe, what else?"

Sakurajima Mai glanced at the laughing Feng Guardian and said softly, "Send me to the restaurant where we ate last time. I want to pack two dishes to eat back."

"Oh, that's tasteful."

Kaede Sakakibara became excited when he heard this. It just so happened that he had to go to work today. Isn't this killing two birds with one stone?

The softness and pure whiteness of the snow can only be felt when you first step on it. The snow that has been stepped on many times by people has become stained with a turbid color. It is bare and very slippery, which will slow down the pedestrians' walking speed.

The setting sun illuminated the two people's clumsy steps, leaving behind a last deep purple afterglow, which disappeared under the tall buildings after a while.

The girl laughed at the boy's appearance of an old man staggering along the wall, but the next moment she slipped and fell into the snow beside her.

The boy's laughter like a night owl startled the birds in the forest. Before long, he was chased by the angry girl.

The noise of the fight attracted several yawning passers-by to watch on the winter evening. A man and a woman were standing in front and behind. Their laughter and actions made the cold day warm up without knowing when.

The darkness of winter always comes so quickly.

Kaede Sakakibara put on a work apron, put on a smile like a thawed spring breeze on her face, and began to wipe the table diligently.

Mai Sakurajima was sitting at the bar. Her order had just been placed and she was concentrating on looking at the wrinkled manuscript. Her red lips moved slightly as she muttered to herself.

The packaged food was quickly brought to Sakurajima Mai. It took her a long time to react and she hurriedly put the manuscript into her handbag.

She wanted to say hello to Sakakibara Kaede before leaving, but she saw him confirming the order with a customer. He was so serious at work that she couldn't bear to disturb him, so she slowly put down her raised hand.

She had some impression that the man was chatting with the old lady who recommended her granddaughter to see her son that day. He had an upright back and a comfortable smile, and he wrote down the order during the cordial conversation.

His movements were deft, his strides were powerful, and it was like... bringing out the best in himself.

weird.

Today, no, every day is like the last day that Kaede Sakakibara will be alive. He works so hard and is so dedicated.

"Little girl, you should go home first. I will let Sakakibara know." The proprietress who was serving rice behind the counter forced a smile. She looked out the window at the sky, "Ah! It's already dark outside. Do you need Sakakibara to take you to the nearby subway station?"

"Ah, no need. Someone is outside to pick me up."

Mai Sakurajima declined the proprietress's kindness. She let out a cute "hey" and opened the store door with the packaging boxes and handbags.

The proprietress was worried, so she looked over and saw a black Toyota parked outside the door. Sakurajima Mai knocked on the window and then got into the back seat.

The car window was rolled down and she waved to Sakakibara Kaede who happened to look up.

The latter chuckled, nodded, and watched the black Toyota quickly and steadily roll over the snow and onto the road.

"You have a long way to go, Sakakibara-kun." The proprietress murmured these words. Sakakibara Kaede, who was about to report the order, heard it and looked at the proprietress in confusion.

"It's nothing, come on young man."

"Come on, what?"

Sakakibara Kaede skillfully called out the names of the dishes and took the finished plates to the dishwashing area.

The proprietress smiled without saying anything. The warm gaze she gave the young man didn't last long before she switched back to work mode.

"Sakakibara-kun, this is for table 11."

"okay!"

Tonight is not as busy as usual. Maybe it's because of the snow. There are fewer customers tonight than usual. For this reason, Kaede Sakakibara started collecting dishes and doing cleanup work early.

He took the lunch box prepared for him by the proprietress with a smile, thanked her repeatedly and put the bag away.

Helping Jianzi's grandmother walk out of the restaurant step by step, he looked around and saw that the weather was really bad, so he suggested sending the old lady home.

Unexpectedly, Grandma Jianzi's address was in the building next door. Sakakibara Feng helped the old lady downstairs, said goodbye to her with a smile, watched her enter the house, and after the warm lights came on, he turned and left.

An elderly person living alone.

Kaede Sakakibara stepped into the snow with her back to the warm yellow light.

The side facing away from the light is still warm.

Chapter 4 Audition: What is Secret Love (k)

What do you usually do when you are not working?

In addition to sleeping, which is a way to take care of himself, the boy would choose to turn on the computer and flip through the many games in the Steam game library, and play whichever game he flipped over.

Sometimes, playing games can make you type faster. Beautiful sentences will appear in the lower left corner or in the middle one by one along with the return key. You can just ignore friend requests after the game.

Sometimes, playing games can train people's minds, show tolerance for human evil, feed evil with one's own body, and the brave dragon slayer will eventually become the dragon... What, start a war? Fight hard!

Sometimes, playing games can temper your willpower. When faced with those seductive live2D pictures, you can become a devil or a Buddha in just one thought.

Instead of yelling at your teammates during the game or being scolded by them, it is better to face the snow and enter into a state of meditation.

The main reason is that Sakakibara Kaede doesn't have the conditions. What kind of games can be played on this XP at home? Even Minesweeper is stuck.

After his October salary was settled, he had some savings, and his deposit just broke six figures.

He originally wanted to go shopping but stopped because of the housing prices in Tokyo. Apart from anything else, the rent in Tokyo was too expensive. He even thought about sleeping in the STARS office every day.

After all, the office provides three meals a day and free WiFi. Isn’t this a good place to rest?

The only entertainment prop in the room, which was neither too big nor too small, was a Yamaha acoustic guitar leaning against the corner, which was the few inheritances left to him by the original owner.

Kaede Sakakibara had only learned folk songs in his previous life, but in this life his deceased mother was a musician. The original owner had been influenced by her for so many years, and although he only half understood the theory, he was very good at practical skills.

Putting his hands on the guitar, the man played familiar melodies one after another. He hummed Jay Chou's Rice Fragrance while familiarizing himself with the fingering.

Kaede Sakakibara's original future might have been to enter a music college and become a musician like his mother.

original.

Everything now seems like a dream. Everything here is very new and unfamiliar to him. Even after entering society, he has not felt the ups and downs of the workplace like in his previous life.

So, he must live before he disappears, before this vibrant life is exhausted, and before another accident may strike.

Live passionately.
