I live my life in Tokyo

There is nothing that can be done about it. If it was Higuchi Madoka, she might be able to achieve zero mistakes, but her appearance and temperament are not suitable for this role.

She is more suitable for cold and aloof female roles. If she plays a role as warm as the sun, there would be an indescribable sense of incongruity.

The sun-type character, whose mere presence can warm others. The only person who appears in the boy's mind now is Sakurajima Mai-senpai. Having been in the acting world for many years, she can adapt to any role.

Once again, appearance determines the role. Although this is unfair, it is the reality.

The man couldn't help but think of his other partner, Uehara Yo.

During the half-time break, Kaede Sakakibara bought a bottle of drink from the vending machine downstairs. After returning to the classroom, she took the tray and looked for an empty seat.

He found that the seating arrangement here was like that of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. The Qin Muse headed by Ken Sano occupied most of the seats, the Chu Burning Production starring Ichika Nakano was at the back of the classroom, and the Zhao Nice Office was located in front of the classroom door.

All that was left for STARS was a small piece of Wei State in the center.

Higuchi Yuanka was fighting alone. She drank boiled water in small sips as if no one was around, and ignored the curious and inquisitive looks cast at her intentionally or unintentionally.

When she was an idol, she also didn't care about any attention.

This is the circle, the boy was filled with emotion, it was a bit like the university in his previous life. When they first met in the dormitory, they exchanged names and asked about their origins. If they were lucky enough to be from the same city, they would immediately meet each other as fellow villagers, with tears in their eyes. If they were alumni of the same school, they would be half-brothers.

Dating back to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were factions fighting for power. Muse was like the Ruying faction where many strategists gathered, Burning Production was the Jiangdong faction that was both civil and military, and Nice Office was the fierce and rough Liangzhou faction.

"We still have a long way to go, Zijing."

As one of the two only descendants of the Jianghuai faction, Liu Ye, played by Sakakibara Kaede, sat opposite Higuchi Yuanxiang and spoke to Lu Su earnestly.

As expected, I got two big white eyes.

"Why are you coming here instead of sitting next to Sano-senpai?"

The girl looked up at the man sitting opposite her, her words hinting at sarcasm.

"I want to discuss acting with you." Sakakibara Kaede ignored Higuchi Yuuka's words and said to herself, "I feel that my gaze towards you is still too abrupt. In order to prevent the audience from misunderstanding in the early stages, I'd better look at Nakano-san... I have to say hello to her afterwards."

Higuchi Yuanka was silent for a moment and nodded slightly.

She also has her own immature performance, such as giving positive feedback to men's passionate gazes - this is a habit, she looks into the other person's eyes when she speaks. There may be nothing wrong with this at ordinary times, but in the script, she is a cold and shy girl. Facing the eyes of "school hunk" Sakakibara Kaede, it is impossible for her to look him in the face without feeling anything.

"Apart from this, are there any other points, Mr. Dreamer?" Higuchi Madoka's tone calmed down and she asked seriously.

"Dreamer? Is that some meme I don't know about?"

"Oh, didn't you know?" Higuchi Madoka scrolled through the phone that was returned during the break and opened the popular voting Twitter currently pinned to the top of the STARS agency. "After watching your performance in the TV series, netizens all called Kitahara Hiroshi a dreamer. I personally think the introduction of the first episode is very good. By the way, Sakakibara-san, your popularity has increased a lot this morning, and you are about to surpass Kashima-san."

The man was stunned for a moment, then drank a sip of black coffee to calm himself down. "I think the netizens and Kitahara Hiroshi have resonated with each other."

"resonance?"

Listening to Higuchi Madoka chewing on words that she rarely came across, Sakakibara Kaede sighed. He was the first person who resonated with Kitahara Hiroshi, an ordinary person.

"Kitahara Hiroshi is just an ordinary person. Unlike Kashima-san who is good at sports and socializing, the only thing he is good at is reading. In the real world, not everyone has a strong body and an outgoing and unrestrained heart. The only way for them to show their ambitions and achieve their dreams is to read."

"Higuchi-san, do you think there are more people in the world who are the leading male characters played by Kashima-san, or are there more people who are like Kitahara Hiroshi, played by me?"

Higuchi Yuanxiang hummed and swallowed the food in her mouth.

In this world, those who were born with a silver spoon in their mouths occupy the top of the pyramid. There are more ordinary people like me and the boy.

She understood Sakurajima-senpai's feelings. The man in front of her was indeed much more mature in his understanding of the role than the new actors who came out at the same time. He was only one year older than her.

"Mr. Sakakibara, I heard from Sakurajima-senpai that she will come to check on our understanding of the script after the filming is finished today. Our schedule is full this afternoon, do you have time to finish reading the script for one episode?" Higuchi Madoka wiped her lips with a tissue, picked up her lunch box and stood up.

Before leaving, she said sideways, "By the way, I've already finished reading it."

The man's face changed drastically, and the lunch box in front of him suddenly lost its flavor. He hurriedly took out a thick stack of manuscripts from the backpack piled behind the classroom and began to look through them.

Higuchi Yuanka saw a rare side of the man, and a secret smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, but it was short-lived.

. . .

"Mina, you've worked hard!"

Hide Oshima clapped his hands, and after many NGs, they finally finished shooting the short first scene before it got dark, and the first day's task was completed.

For Hide Oshima, this was an over-achievement of his mission. He had originally planned to let everyone get familiar with the shooting location and get used to each other on the first day, but he did not expect to be able to shoot wonderful scenes on the first day.

But he obviously underestimated the abilities of the actors present. After all, they all came from well-known agencies and didn't want to embarrass their own agencies.

"Thank you for your hard work, Sakakibara-san."

Ken Sano patted the boy's shoulder, and the latter looked up and smiled, then lightly bumped fists with Ken Sano who extended his fist.

He also had a commercial shoot in the evening, so after saying hello to a few acquaintances, he headed to the dressing room to change his clothes and remove his makeup.

"Nakano-san, you've worked hard today."

Ichika Nakano, a new trainee actor who was quietly putting away the items on the table, did not expect that Kaede Sakakibara would talk to her. In her eyes, the boy was a genius-level actor who had made a name for himself in the entertainment industry just one week after his debut. Not to mention the gimmicks that STARS agency deliberately threw out to promote Kaede Sakakibara, Ichika Nakano, who was about to graduate from the training school, and her sisters gathered in front of the TV on Friday night after school to watch the TBS evening TV series.

The boy's existence is stunning. This may be a bit of an exaggeration, but for Ichika Nakano, ever since she saw the smiling boy confessing to the starry sky in the introduction, she has been looking for the boy in every scene in the class.

When seeing those crooked notes, Nakano Ichika would think of herself - her grades were also hard to describe.

When she sees the boy studying alone in the library after dusk, she would sigh and applaud his hard work.

Seeing the boy being bullied in the bathroom and the family photos being thrown to the ground mercilessly by the bully, her mood became gloomy and heavy.

"Nakano-san?"

Seeing that Nakano Ichika was stunned, the boy couldn't help but wave his hand in front of her.

"Oh, sorry!" Nakano Ichika quickly bowed and performed the junior's salute, "I'm sorry, Sakakibara-senpai, I was just thinking about my own things."

The boy felt relaxed. Is this what it felt like to be called a senior?

Unlike his seniors in school, he feels quite comfortable being called a senior even though he has just entered the industry not long ago.

"It's okay, Nakano-san." The man went downhill and called his junior with a smile, "Regarding future filming, I want to look straight at you when filming, just like the previous few NGs... About that, I thought about it and decided that it's better to just look straight ahead."

Nakano Ichika blushed slightly, and there were a few NGs because she was shocked by the boy's blue eyes with complicated emotions, which made her feel embarrassed and lowered her eyes with embarrassment. This kind of performance naturally failed.

"Well, I will try my best to adapt. Please don't change it for the time being, Sakakibara-senpai." Nakano Ichika nodded continuously like a chick pecking at rice.

"No problem, let's work hard on our own from now on."

The boy smiled.

Nakano Ichika left in joy. The image of her cold, taciturn, iceberg senior was shattered in her mind. She was so lucky to have such a gentle senior.

She couldn't wait to share what she saw and heard today with her sisters.

"You're so energetic." The boy watched the girl's back disappear around the corner and began to help the crew tidy up the desks.

After arranging his study supplies and books neatly according to categories, the boy took a bottle of water and went to the locker room to remove his makeup.

Ken Sano hasn't left yet.

Sakakibara Kaede was moved and she and Sano Ken added each other as Line friends. After shaking hands and saying goodbye, they were almost done removing their makeup.

The actors in the dressing room also left arm in arm, and in the end only the boy was left changing into his indoor shoes.

It was a dramatic ending, with the last person leaving the classroom as the senior class graduated.

He consulted Oshima Hide and asked if he could wear this school uniform home. After getting an affirmative answer, Sakakibara Kaede took over the warmest clothes he had worn so far without any hesitation.

Wearing the warm school uniform of the private Shuchiin Academy, after pushing open the door, he was greeted not only by the biting winter wind, but also by Higuchi Madoka who had changed back into her regular clothes.

She wore a brown turtleneck sweatshirt inside and a black coat outside. Even in this cold November, she was still wearing knee-length denim shorts.

"Let's go."

"Where are we going?" Sakakibara Kaede asked back.

"Sakurajima-senpai is waiting at the school gate. It's impossible to sneak away."

The famous playwright Shakespeare once wrote in his tragedy "Hamlet" that the boy lamented the meaning of existence and lamented this painful and unfair life.

Mai Sakurajima is serious.

To be or not to be?

Chapter 32: Urban Wolf King

Sakakibara Kaede felt cold for Higuchi Madoka when she saw the way she was dressed.

Mai Sakurajima wore long pants today.

Seeing the figure standing in front of the school gate waiting from afar, Sakakibara Kaede couldn't help but slow down his pace.

"Hey, whose girlfriend is that? She's waiting in front of the school gate. How sweet."

"Look at the way he's dressed, how come he looks like a member of society?"

"She looks like some celebrity, what's her name?"

There are always creatures called gossips in women’s bodies. They usually hide in the body obediently. They usually break out of the body at the end of get out of class, at lunch, and after school to gather together to eat. . .

Why do I feel more and more sanity the more I think about it? What kind of Junji Ito comic is this?

Sakakibara Kaede quickly shook her head, and Higuchi Madoka beside her had already stepped forward and greeted Sakurajima Mai.

After chatting with each other for a few words with laughter, the two turned around and looked at the Wolf King who was standing in front of the school gate without moving forward.

Although the boy is handsome, smart, and can tell jokes, girls should not fall in love with him easily, because he is a lonely wolf in the wind.

But in this steel city, there is no room for lone wolves to survive, and the arrogant Arctic wolf suddenly transformed into a Husky.

"Sakurajima-senpai, on such a cold day, most people should be watching TV in the kotatsu instead of standing in the snow and wind to share the hardship with me." The boy advised earnestly, "If it were me, I would be sitting in the kotatsu early in the morning, eating snacks and watching TV, and playing a game of Candy Crush Saga on my phone. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"

Sakurajima Mai turned her head slightly, "Who is this person? Do you know Yuanxiang-chan?"

Higuchi Yuanxiang glanced at Sakakibara Kaede and shook her head decisively, "I don't know her, maybe she is a student of this school."

"Oh, I have spent my life with a flute and a sword, carrying a bad name for seventeen years. I am myself, the most brilliant firework. I am the new actor and artist Feng, and the sky is witnessing my will." The young man opened his arms and embraced the sky, his fighting spirit overflowing, his momentum was so terrifying, his black school uniform was blown by the cold wind, "Today's wind is a bit noisy."

"Let's go." said Sakurajima Mai.

"Okay." Higuchi Enka agreed.

"Hey!" The boy complained briefly with an onomatopoeia, then sighed somewhat dejectedly, "I should be cooperating with you in your performance, but I'm pretending to be blind."

Sakurajima Mai snorted and crossed her arms, "Who are you? I don't know you."

Sakakibara raised his hands in surrender. "Ahem, we've strayed off topic. I just read the general plot outline during the break. I'm sure I'll understand it thoroughly by dinner time."

"Really?" Sakurajima Mai's face was serious.

Seeing this, Sakakibara Kaede nodded repeatedly and pulled in an ally, "If Sakurajima-senpai doesn't believe me, why not ask Higuchi-san? I also made a lot of notes on the manuscript. This wave, this wave has both human and material evidence."

"Okay, from your expression, I know you read it carefully."

Mai Sakurajima succeeded in her prank and laughed, "I checked the map on the way here, there are quite a few restaurants nearby, what do you want to eat for dinner?"

“Family restaurant.”

“Family restaurant.”

Sakakibara Kaede and Higuchi Madoka said in unison.

"Why do the two of you talk so in sync?"

"Because family restaurants have an atmosphere that makes people relax." Higuchi Madoka, who often visits family restaurants with her childhood idol group, has the most say.

"Because the price per person in a family restaurant is not expensive and you can eat your fill." The man's reason was impeccable.

Seeing that the two had made up their minds, Sakurajima Mai decided. She also liked the relaxed atmosphere of the family restaurant.

As for whether someone will take a photo of her and upload it to Twitter... Come on, actors are also human beings, can't they have a pork chop meal?

"Ah... It's my honor to be able to dine with two star actresses of our time." Sakakibara Kaede was somewhat moved. "I will embed this scene in my memory and never forget it."

It’s better to ignore such people.

The man made another joke to relax the atmosphere, and the three of them walked on the road where students went home after school. Many luxury cars could be seen on this road, which gave Sakakibara Kaede, who had the intention but no money, a feast for the eyes.

After turning a corner, the three entered a family restaurant frequented by students next to the subway station.

After drinking the warm water brought by the waiter, Sakakibara Kaede looked at the menu. He seldom went out to eat out, but with the increase in salary, it meant that he could now satisfy his appetite a little.

"Well, I'll have omelette rice. Have you thought about what to eat, Sakakibara-senpai?"

"I'd like a 1500 yen steak set with seasonal vegetables, medium rare, thank you."

The man smiled politely at the waiter and said "medium rare" in English, showing off his authentic British accent that he had learned from watching TV dramas and movies.
