I live my life in Tokyo

"Higuchi, you have bad intentions."

Higuchi Madoka smiled easily. She tilted her head, and a few strands of hair fell slightly and fell on Sakakibara Kaede's shoulders.

"Feng, you look a little tired, how about taking a rest?" Asakura Toru looked at Sakakibara Feng, with a hint of worry in his tone, "Don't you have work tonight, Feng?"

"I am indeed a little tired. I have been busy these past few days."

Sakakibara Kaede pursed his lips, leaned back on the sofa with his muscles relaxed, and slowly closed his eyes. "When we are done with this busy period, let's go back to Tokyo and live our lives."

"Well, I want to live a life with Feng-san."

The young man smiled helplessly and covered his eyes with his arms.

Higuchi Yuanxiang stepped forward and closed the curtains for Sakakibara Kaede. "What time do you work tonight? I'll set an alarm for you and wake you up at that time."

"Call me at five. My workplace is in the center of Kyoto, and it takes half an hour to drive there. I'll need to put on makeup and stuff when I get there."

"So serious? What show is it?"

"It's a secret, you'll know when the time comes."

At this time, Sakakibara Kaede still showed a smile that made Higuchi Madoka angry. She wanted to step forward and tear off the thin T-shirt on Sakakibara Kaede, to make him shy, to make him embarrassed, to completely ruin his performance!

After waking up from her delusion, Higuchi Enka discovered that Sakakibara Kaede had fallen asleep at some point.

Lean back on the couch.

Asakura Toru poked his cheek with his finger and poked his own cheek with his other hand, "Hmm... Feng-san's flesh is a little tight."

"Asakura..."

"what happened?"

Asakura Toru turned his head, showing a winner's smile, and made a victory V sign, "Feng-san is asleep."

Higuchi Yuanxiang had a cold face, put her hands on her hips, and tilted her head to the side, "So?"

"Higuchi, you're really not being honest. You took a bath and put on perfume for Feng-san."

Asakura Toru counted on his fingers, and Higuchi Madoka snorted, "I didn't do this for him, Asakura, don't get me wrong."

"Hey, Higuchi is not honest."

"You, what are you doing?"

Asakura Toru gently leaned his body on the shoulder of the sleeping young man, slowly closed his eyes, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly. In the eyes of Higuchi Madoka, this smile was as hateful as it could be.

"Do you still remember the topic at the Yokohama Hotel?"

"Can not remember."

"Now, Feng-sang is sleeping here."

Higuchi Madoka saw Asakura Toru manipulating Sakakibara Kaede's body horizontally and vertically, and she gritted her teeth in anger. If a look could cause actual harm, then Asakura Toru would have been pinned to the bed by her and unable to get up.

"When are you going to confess?"

The girl looked away again when she heard her childhood sweetheart's question. She bit her lower lip lightly and said, "I don't know."

"Fear?"

Asakura Toru smiled slightly. It was difficult for outsiders to understand what Asakura Toru was thinking, but Higuchi Madoka could understand. It was difficult for outsiders to see Higuchi Madoka's true heart, but Asakura Toru could.

"Come quickly." She waved to Higuchi Yuanxiang, indicating that she should sit next to Sakakibara Kaede.

It seemed as if Higuchi Madoka's body was out of her control and she took a step forward as if possessed by a ghost. Her eyes were still full of shock and anger, but her body moved involuntarily.

Although he said that, his body was actually very obedient.

All Higuchi Yuuka wanted now was for Asakura Toru to fall asleep quickly so that she wouldn't have to endure the teasing looks from her childhood sweetheart.

She rested her head on Kaede Sakakibara's body. At this distance, she could smell his faint scent on his clothes.

"Asakura, are you satisfied now?"

"Satisfied."

"..."

Higuchi Yuanka gritted her teeth again. She knew that the word "satisfied" meant that she was satisfied.

The two people's eyes met, intersected, collided, then merged and left.

The central air conditioner quietly exhaled cool air. The beautiful view outside the window was blocked by the curtains. Only a ray of sunlight fell in front of and behind the window, leaving a shallow gap.

Higuchi Enka had a dream.

In the dream, she was still Higuchi Madoka, but she was no longer a discovered idol. Instead, she lived in a small town in the north that was covered with snow all year round. Her life was so dull as she went to high school. In her second year of high school, she was elected as the class monitor.

There was a boy who caused her trouble. He transferred into her class. He was honest and gentle, and he was not good at rejecting other people's requests. He agreed to help the class monitor plan the activities for the school festival, so after school every day, he and the class monitor would go into an empty classroom to coordinate the preparations.

Thinking about the days spent with him would make people smile naturally, but Higuchi Madoka was a little scared. She was afraid that if she accepted his tenderness, then the self she had always wanted to maintain might not be herself anymore.

However, she couldn't help herself and looked for him in the crowd.

It was as if seeing him gave me an inexplicable sense of security.

What kind of feeling is this? Higuchi Madoka looked at the purple sunset, her purple eyes blinking, unable to tell what emotion she was feeling.

As the New Year's bell rang, he and she walked together on the streets of the small town, holding candy apples in their hands. She, who was never used to smiling, failed to do so repeatedly in front of him.

Yeah, why do you laugh like this?

Under the fireworks, she pursed her lips, then slowly approached him.

Sakakibara Feng felt the vibration of his cell phone and woke up from his dream. He opened his eyes and adjusted to the darkness in the room. He wanted to reach out to turn off the vibration of his cell phone, but unexpectedly felt heaviness and numbness in his arms, as if someone had broken both of his arms while he was asleep.

With the dim light in the room, Sakakibara Kaede saw two heads leaning on his shoulders and couldn't help but sigh. It turned out that they were treating him as a pillow. To be honest, he felt quite uncomfortable with their shoulders leaning like that. It would be better for him to lean on the pillows.

Gently straightening Asakura Toru's body, Sakakibara Kaede pulled his hand away and turned off the vibration of his phone. It was five o'clock, and he should leave.

He took back the phone, smiled, and gently helped Higuchi Madoka up so that she could sleep more peacefully.

She seemed to wake up, and in a daze, she murmured a few words, as if she wanted to say something.

Seeing this, Sakakibara Kaede leaned over and listened closely, probably wanting to drink some water or something.

Higuchi Madoka blinked her blurry eyes. The dim room seemed to be filled with the backdrop of fireworks at the festival, but the figure in front of her was so clear.

"caught you."

As she said this, she reached out her hands to hold the young man's face and gently kissed him.

Chapter 25: Mr.

"Yuan Xiang..."

Sakakibara Kaede opened his eyes. He had never thought that the day would come when he would be kissed by Higuchi Madoka.

Sakakibara Kaede was surprised by the warmth shown by Higuchi Madoka, who had always been so cold and spoke coldly to him and looked at him with cold eyes, at this moment.

The young man and Higuchi Madoka have known each other for two years. From being strangers in the beginning to calling each other by name now, the bond that has been created and the distance between them is indeed getting closer all the time.

Could it be that Yuanxiang...

The young man pursed his lips. He found that Higuchi Yuanka's movements had softened. She hung her hands around his neck and he could feel her calm breathing on his face.

Did he fall into a sleep disorder?

Sakakibara Kaede was suddenly kissed by Higuchi Madoka. If she said she wasn't surprised, it would be a lie. Her heartbeat quickened and she had an indescribable feeling in her heart... This feeling was like the state of mind when the girls around her confessed to her one after another.

Some are warm, some are sweet, and some are sour.

"Yuanxiang...Yuanxiang..."

"Well..."

The soft call was met with a hazy response from Higuchi Madoka. Her red lips trembled and her eyelashes trembled slightly with the young man's breathing. At this moment, she took off the cold coat she wore outside. She was no longer indifferent and calm. Under the clothes, she was a self-denying, self-enclosed Higuchi Madoka who did not want to change the status quo.

I want to be her light.

At some point, this idea suddenly came to Sakakibara Kaede's mind. She wanted to become a hero, she wanted to become a Kamen Rider and dispel the haze in Higuchi Madoka's heart.

If only he were really Kamen Rider, he would be able to stand up, stand next to Yuanxiang, and tell her loudly that she is great now and can be loved by everyone. She doesn't need to change herself for the eyes of others, she is who she is.

It’s not the sunflower blooming towards the sun, nor is it Bai Baihe swaying in the wind.

She was hanging in the basket, with bunches of soft-colored roses.

The flower language of rose is love and longing for love.

In a sense, Sakakibara Kaede did not want Higuchi Madoka to change like this. He had become accustomed to her presence in his life, the cold glances she cast at him from time to time, and the coldness and coquettishness that she sometimes showed insincerely.

"Are you asleep, or are you pretending to be asleep? I really don't understand, Yuanxiang."

Sakakibara Kaede smiled helplessly. He hugged Higuchi Madoka, skillfully picked her up like a princess, and carefully placed her on the big bed.

After covering her with the quilt, the young man looked at the girl's sleeping profile and touched his lips again, as if the kiss just now was not a dream.

"Thank you for the invitation. I slept very comfortably." Sakakibara Kaede whispered softly. He leaned over and kissed Higuchi Madoka on the forehead, as a magic trick to wish her a good dream.

He would not normally do these things. Usually, Sakakibara Kaede is a very restrained person, except for his shortcomings in diet and looking at pornographic pictures and playing galgames, but he never does anything beyond friendship towards his friends.

This... can be considered a return gift. After all, Higuchi Madoka is asleep now, right?

The young man put on his coat, glanced at the curtains, and decided that since the two were fast asleep, he should not wake them up.

Putting on the watch on the table and picking up the mobile phone, the young man left with light steps.

The room returned to calm.

Breathe evenly.

Higuchi Yuanka covered her face. She felt that her face must be very red, as if it was burning. Her heart was beating non-stop. It might be the first time she had experienced intense exercise since she was born, which made her head a little dizzy and even a little short of oxygen.

She cautiously poked her head out and glanced in the direction of Asakura Toru. Seeing that she was sleeping very soundly, she couldn't help but let out a long sigh. If Asakura Toru had seen what happened just now, she would really be too ashamed to face anyone.

He could no longer maintain the cold face he usually maintained in front of Sakakibara Kaede.

"Asshole, vile, actually attacking his friend, Mr. is being too self-indulgent."

"Idiot, pervert, you are a teacher, but you are not a role model at all."

"He's obviously a senior, but he actually attacked a junior. He's really hopeless!"

The girl buried her head in the quilt, covering her forehead, gritting her teeth, and muttering constantly, as if she would tear Sakakibara Kaede into pieces in the next moment.

Her head had been buried in the quilt for too long, making it difficult for her to breathe. She had to reluctantly stick her head out and look in the direction of Asakura Toru again.

Didn't wake up.

Higuchi Madoka was so angry that her teeth were itching. She just wanted to leave two teeth marks on Sakakibara Kaede's body or neck to relieve the panic, sour and sweet mood in her heart.

She didn't like this emotion, and she knew what the name of this emotion was.

After a while, her little movements subsided, and Higuchi Madoka slowly touched her lips. . . . The first kiss was too hasty, more like a collision than a kiss. Fortunately, it didn't hit the teeth, otherwise the memory of the first kiss would only be pain.

She can still feel that softness and the throbbing that almost makes her heart burst out.

Higuchi Madoka wiped her lips, and a surge of anger rose in her heart for no reason. She closed her eyes tightly and tried to fall asleep again, returning to the New Year when she and Feng successfully confessed their love and they watched the fireworks hand in hand.

Asakura Toru moved his head slightly, adjusted to a more comfortable position, and then remained calm again.

Kaede Sakakibara took the countryside bus, which ran less than ten times a day, and swayed along the mountain road. Yuuma Miura leaned against the window nearby. As soon as he got on the bus, he leaned against the glass window and began to try to make himself fall asleep. However, the bus was a bit bumpy, and leaning against the glass window would cause his head to vibrate up and down, so his plan became to close his eyes and take a nap.

Making music is very tiring, and Sakakibara Kaede naturally knows the efforts of the wind orchestra. Last night when he and Miura Yuma went to inspect the students' rooms, they found that both men and women seemed to have no vitality, lying straight on the bed, as if the afternoon rehearsal and ensemble had sucked away their vitality.

Of course, what Sakakibara Kaede didn't know was that after they left, the students who were lying dead immediately resurrected on the spot, those who were chatting continued to chat, and those who were playing cards continued to play cards... It was almost like a school trip.

Even if the young man knew about this he would just laugh. Everyone went through the same thing back then. When the ward was checked in the dormitory, they looked like they were really asleep.

He saw that Yuuma Miura was tired and didn't chat with anyone. He had just taken a nap and was no longer sleepy in the car. With nothing to do, he opened Twitter and scrolled down the updates.

A dynamic push notification about the World Shining Concert made Kaede Sakakibara pause scrolling. He shifted his gaze from the endorsement brand forwarded by his friend and found that it was posted by the World Shining official account, which also @thanked the Kansai Wind Instruments Union and the Asahi Shimbun. The former of these two official accounts is only followed by a small number of wind instrument associations or insiders in the music industry, while the latter usually forwards more news and anecdotes. How could it be favored by both bigwigs at the same time?

"We'll be in the live studio at six tonight, see you there~"

The accompanying picture was taken by the three of them, and is a final photo with Kyoto's Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine as the background.

Sakakibara Kaede sighed and felt sorry for the fans in Kyoto. The location has already been set in Osaka, but why post photos in Kyoto to excite them?

The young man felt it was hard to say whether the staff who created this picture was a little...

The fans below have already started sending messages expressing their expectation, and some fans have also started sending hearts in three colors: blue, gold, and red.

Gold and red correspond to the hair colors of Yuuma Miura and Maki Nishikino respectively, and Kaede Sakakibara's hair color is black... You don't necessarily have to send a black heart, it's a bit annoying.
