I live my life in Tokyo

...very nice.

The boy looked at the snow outside the window. People were hurrying around him, and there were fewer and fewer people in the lounge.

He didn't want to read on, wrapped in the familiar yet unfamiliar feeling of loneliness, so the boy walked up the stairs of the fire escape and came to the rooftop terrace.

Among the many high-rise buildings, the boy's existence seemed like a drop in the ocean. Looking up at the million-dollar night view of downtown Tokyo, he slowly exhaled a breath of misty moist air.

The top of my head felt the weight of the snowflakes, and my bangs drooped slightly.

gorgeous.

Reaching out his hand to feel the coolness of the snowflakes, the boy held the coolness deeply in his palm.

He wanted to run again.

The boy's cell phone vibrated and he took it out and saw a number.

After pressing the call button, Uehara Yo's laughing voice came from the other end of the line. "Hello, hello? Is Sakakibara there? This is Uehara. Do you want to go out for a barbecue with the brothers later?"

"Okay, time and place."

"OK, I'll send you a private message. I've invited quite a lot of people today. Let's have fun until we're drunk!"

"Let's forget about drinking."

The boy chuckled at the end of the brief call and hung up the phone. It didn't matter if he didn't check it just now, but now when he looked at the line, it was full of Merry Christmas wishes.

"Merry Christmas Eve, Sakakibara-senpai. I'm back home for the rare occasion today. Don't miss me too much. I'll find you for extra lessons next time. I'll also show you what I ate today.jpg."

"Hmph, since we're both science students, I wish you a Merry Christmas. My sister didn't wish you a Merry Christmas, so forget it. P.S. Good luck on your college entrance exams."

"Sakakibara-senpai, I am Yui Asuna, wishing Sakakibara-senpai a happy Christmas."

"One of my five best generals, Sakakibara Kimiaki, your signature and deviation value both make me very satisfied, Merry Christmas."

The boy put down his phone and looked at the colorful world.

Let’s just run to the barbecue restaurant later.

Chapter 56 A New Chapter in Life

Burn, running boy.

The boy was sitting on a bench, and the roller coaster whizzed past not far away, making him shrink his neck.

There will definitely be side effects from sitting on this thing, and he will definitely have nightmares at night.

"Hong, come, let's go ride the roller coaster together?" The girl came and sat next to the boy with a doll in her hand. The doll was a trophy the boy had just won in front of the shooting stall. Seeing that the girl liked it, she gave it to her.

"Do you really want to ride the roller coaster? I'm... afraid of heights."

The boy without glasses had an expression as if he had eaten bitter candy. When he saw the girl's invitation, he was a little tempted, but he was really not used to riding this kind of amusement facility that was not good for the heart.

"Otherwise, Nanbu-san and Dong-chan have already gone up, now it's our turn."

The girl patted her slender arms, and her expression of pretending to be hard-working made the boy relax a little.

In front of him, Nishida Orange laughed freely, spoke and expressed his thoughts.

In class, she is also slowly changing, gradually revealing her true self. Although she still has a long way to go before she can truly open her heart, she has someone by her side and will not be alone.

A lot of things have changed since the sports meet.

Perhaps the only thing that has not changed is the relationship between the two of them. No, their childhood sweetheart relationship may become even closer in the future.

"Hong-chan, how do you feel about high school life?" The girl opened her arms, her white dress fluttering, embracing the summer sunshine.

The boy propped his chin on his fist and thought for a moment before saying, "I feel that high school life is no different from what I used to be. I still study and learn."

"But it became even more exciting later." The boy said this and looked up at the smiling girl, "Maybe I have begun to like my high school life."

"Of course!" The girl held up a finger in front of him, and the boy nodded helplessly.

She put her hands behind her back, looked up at the Ferris wheel not far from the amusement park, raised her wrist, glanced at the watch on her wrist, and confirmed the current time.

"What a pity! There are too many people today. I can't seem to squeeze onto the Ferris wheel."

"..." The boy opened his mouth. He even looked a little embarrassed. Embarrassment and shyness flashed across his fair face. "That..."

"Hmm? Nani Nani? Hong-chan, what do you want to say?"

The girl blinked her big eyes and moved closer to the boy.

The two of them were so close that their breath blew on their eyelashes, making them itchy, and it seemed that their eyelashes would touch each other every time they blinked.

The boy lowered his head, not daring to look his childhood sweetheart in the eye. He said in a self-destructive tone, "Well, let's go ride the Ferris wheel together next year!"

"Eh...eh?" The girl blushed and her heart beat fast. She looked away in a hurry, her heart beating faster and faster. She was not an ignorant girl who knew nothing. The Ferris wheel was always ridden by couples. Was the boy's words a confession?

"...I do."

The girl usually teased Kitahara Hiroshi every day, calling him Hiro-chan affectionately, and holding his hand with him at school, acting like they were very familiar with each other. But at this moment, she looked even shyer than the boy, her face flushed, her slender hands grasping the hem of her skirt, and she whispered softly.

The boy was so embarrassed that he could dig a hole in a three-bedroom apartment with his toes. He immediately stood up, regardless of anything, and walked towards the roller coaster with a bit of self-destruction. His back looked quite tragic, as if the wind was whistling and the Yishui River was cold, and the hero would never come back once he left.

The girl was stunned, her face was still rosy, but the corners of her mouth were raised high. She didn't want to catch up with the boy who ran away after confessing his love. She wanted to tell the boy her feelings in person.

This warm feeling made her feel upset.

The boy can accept all of her, the complete her, and she is the same. No matter what the boy becomes or what changes he makes, he is still the shining boy with dreams who confessed under the starlight.

"Hiro-chan, wait for me!"

The girl smiled and took the boy's hand.

This time, Kitahara Hiroshi did not answer his childhood sweetheart impatiently.

"Okay." The boy said with a smile.

"CUT!!!"

Qingshan Yang shouted loudly into the microphone, and there were bursts of cheers and celebrations all around. Not only the more than 40 actors in the crew, but also the staff of the filming and makeup teams were also venting their excitement and moving feelings, clapping their hands vigorously, with their palms red and swollen.

"A perfect ending! The personal stories of the third male and third female characters have ended!" Aoyama Hiroshi came in front of the two of them. He didn't even need to recheck the video recording. "Sakakibara-kun, Sakurajima-kun, what a beautiful scene, a beautiful ending."

"It's all because of Director Qingshan's good guidance."

The boy smiled modestly.

"I benefited a lot from this TV series. I found a new direction for acting." Sakurajima Mai said with a smile, her eyes looking at the boy standing next to her, "I also learned a lot from Sakakibara-san."

"I don't believe it." The boy raised his eyebrows, "Unless you explain it in detail."

"Not only that, your ability to immerse yourself in the role, but also your deep understanding of the role are what I lack. I need to learn from you." Mai Sakurajima praised the boy earnestly.

The boy hummed.

Several staff members came out at this time. They came to the leading actors and handed them bouquets of exquisite flowers.

"Congratulations on finishing!"

The woman who handed the boy the bouquet left a slight impression on him. If he remembered correctly, she was the makeup artist who did his makeup on his first day as an extra and who gave him several lunch boxes when he left.

He whispered the words of thanks, and he will always remember this kindness.

Holding the flowers, the boy looked at the girl and saw that she was skillfully placing the bouquet on her shoulders and making a victory gesture to him.

Sakakibara Kaede looked at her bouquet.

It’s… a sense of satisfaction.

Or a sense of accomplishment.

A warm current filled his body, and he looked at the Ferris wheel in the distance. After all, he had left his mark in this world.

He likes this kind of warmth, likes to experience the joys and sorrows of a character, likes to play opposite different actors, and deepens his understanding of the character while understanding the other party.

He also likes the kind of youth that runs recklessly. Although he has no chance to start over again, he can let others have this feeling and make their youth more wonderful. This time, he is not going to experience it himself, but telling them as a guide and actor not to waste their lives.

He prefers the buffet at the office.

"Sakurajima-senpai."

"What is it? Sakakibara-san?"

"I... I still like it after all."

The boy looked up, he didn't see it. The girl who heard these words lowered her eyes to the ground, as if she had imagined something, her ears turned slightly red, and she felt the heartbeat of Nishida Orange.

At this time, the sky was still bright, with a faint waning moon hanging in the sky. The color of the sky was the same color as the boy's pupils.

"Junior Sakakibara, what do you like?" Sakurajima Mai raised her head with a smile on her lips. At this moment, she seemed to be playing the role of Nishida Orange, urging her childhood sweetheart to continue speaking.

"I like acting." The boy turned around. His expression at this moment was no different from the one he had under the starry sky in the first scene. It was a look of light in front of his eyes. "Maybe, I like actors."

"Well, that's a good answer! Please give me your guidance in the future, Sakakibara-san~"

"Okay, Sakurajima-senpai."

Hearing his answer, Sakurajima Mai smiled brilliantly, as gorgeous and beautiful as the bouquet of flowers resting on her shoulders.

. . .

“It’s so cold…”

The boy was awakened by the cold again. He got up with a start and crawled into the kotatsu.

After warming up his hands and feet, he hurriedly got up and put the lunch box from the refrigerator into the microwave.

I checked the contents of the bag. The photo was pasted on the registration form and tightly pressed against the innermost layer of the bag. The pencil case was filled with sharp black pencils and a plastic eraser, slippers and a bag to hold the slippers, and a calculator.

In Japan, the unified college entrance examination is usually held inside universities, and changing into indoor shoes is also a rule within some schools, or it is believed that wearing slippers will not make noise and affect the candidates.

This is a test that determines your fate.

The boy was brushing his teeth, and although his movements were a little hurried, his facial expression was leisurely and he didn't look nervous at all.

I'll have to squeeze into the subway later.

Kaede Sakakibara spat the mouthwash into the sink, turned around and went back to the small living room and bedroom to start preparing her lunch box.

The moment he opened the lunch box, he was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed.

The bento box was filled with ham and two boiled eggs arranged in a perfect shape. Seeing this, the boy stared at the familiar food configuration in a daze for a while for no reason.

After a long time, he picked up the chopsticks and swallowed the sour memories with the gravy.

"I'm thankful that the deviation is 80 this time."

He smiled. His mock test scores were usually between 80 and 85. As long as he performed normally, those math problems would not be difficult.

Carrying his heavy backpack, the boy made one last check at the door and looked back into the room.

It was filled with memories of the past three months... no, three years.

Every corner has his memories and his figure.

After staying for another month after the college entrance examination, he will go to Tokyo, the city intoxicated by money.

"I'm leaving, Sakakibara Kaede." The boy looked at the empty room, paused for a moment and then continued, "I will live passionately... I want to shine brighter than anyone else in the world."

His eyes swept over the Yamaha guitar, the boy closed the door, and walked down the stairs on the snow.

In front of the door... there was a silver Honda parked.

In the car was the military advisor, who was yawning and holding a cigarette. He rolled down the window and sneered at the boy, "Surprise?"

Lü Bu was startled and reached for the Fang Tian Hua Ji behind him. "Iida-san, why are you here? Could it be that there was an incident in Yanzhou and Cao's army is attacking like a raging fire?"

"Get on the horse... no, get in the car."

Chen Gong narrowed his eyes and said coldly.

Lu Bu dared not say anything to Chen Gong. He did not dare to act rashly. He snorted and sat on the silver Red Hare.

"drive!"

The carriage drove out of the path, rolled over the uncleared snow, and sped along the main road.

"You are taking the college entrance exam today, right? We have worked together for many years, so I'm here to give you a ride." Iida-san put out his cigarette and opened the window for ventilation. "The subway during the college entrance exam is very crowded. The subway in Chiba is incomparable to that in Tokyo. If you miss a train, you will be doomed."

The boy smiled and said, "Iida-san, you make Chiba sound like a country town."

Iida Kei pushed his gold-rimmed glasses and said with a sarcastic tone, seemingly mocking himself, "After getting used to the prosperity of Tokyo, you will have this feeling when you come to other cities."
