I live my life in Tokyo

"Thank you."

"Don't do that. It gives me goose bumps." Iida Kei rolled his eyes. "Just speak in your normal tone. That way, you and I can still use our words to fight back and forth."

"Well, I wonder if Iida-san has found the resources for the live-action adaptation of the harem for me."

If you open your mouth, you will see blood.

"Isn't it uncomfortable to say this on the day of the college entrance examination?" Iida Kei groaned, "The TV series Our Daily Life as High School Students ended successfully this week. You and the other five main actors finished filming perfectly. In the Twitter vote, you far surpassed the other four main actors and won the second place after Sakurajima Mai."

"We don't know the final rating of the TV series on Yinghua.com yet. The staff of the agency has counted it and it is about 4.7 points. Whether it is a good start for the agency or the first completed TV series in your career, it is a perfect start."

"After filming a TV series, STARS Agency cannot film another one in the short term. During this time, I will find more audition opportunities for you. You will also have more opportunities to compete with actors from other agencies. This will also be a rare experience for your acting career."

Listening to Iida Kei's mumbling, a faint smile appeared on the boy's face and his eyes looked at the snow scene passing by outside the window.

Chiba University, a famous comprehensive national research university in Chiba Prefecture, today serves as the examination center for the unified college entrance examination in Chiba Prefecture.

From a distance, the boy saw a lot of candidates gathered in front of the school gate.

"I'll drop you off here. Cars can't drive in front." Iida Kei pointed to the sign prohibiting vehicles from driving, turned around and nodded to the boy, "See you at the office later."

"Ah."

When he opened the car door, Sakakibara Kaede was greeted by a chill.

He wrapped his school uniform tightly around himself, rubbed his slightly cold fingers, and followed in the footsteps of others, heading towards the gate of Chiba University.

He saw a group of people near the school gate who looked out of place with the worried candidates.

They were wearing colorful winter coats, with smiles on their faces, and looked over here from time to time.

"Sakakibara!" Uehara Yao discovered Sakakibara Kaede and waved his hands vigorously at the boy.

The boy's face looked strange. He looked at them one by one and found that not only Uehara Yo was there, but most of his colleagues in the crew were there.

"you..."

"This is a surprise." Takeda Hiroshi followed up.

The extras, those who have seen him and those who haven't, smiled and said, "We are all here to cheer for Sakakibara-san."

Higuchi Madoka nodded slightly and said softly, "Sakakibara-san, good luck in the college entrance examination."

Sakurajima Mai put her hands behind her back and smiled warmly. She glared at the boy, as if blaming him for not wearing the coat today, and made a gesture of encouragement to him: "Sakakibara-senpai, come on!"

The boy accepted all the blessings from you and me. He was infected by your smile and waved his hand with a strange laugh, "Okay, okay, after the exam tomorrow, I'll treat you to meat!"

"Ow!"

The wolf howl attracted the dissatisfied attention of many students' parents. The person who just made the strange cry was immediately attacked by the crowd. Some apologized, some were secretly happy, and some were looking forward to the barbecue. It was a happy scene.

Sometimes, just a word of encouragement is enough.

The boy waved goodbye to these people who sparkled in his eyes, walked up the bluestone steps, and headed towards the gate of Chiba University.

Waiting here are two important teachers he met in his life.

"Hiratsuka-sensei."

Shizuka Hiratsuka, who had just finished taking care of her students, turned around. She glanced at the figures cheering for the boy in the distance and said in a gentle tone, "That's great, Sakakibara."

"Yeah, I also feel very lucky." The boy looked back, paused for a moment and then smiled.

"This is not luck." As a Chinese teacher, Hiratsuka Shizuka corrected her, "This is the happiness you fought for with your own hands."

"..."

"Teacher, I'm actually... sorry for not doing anything for you during the time you were in pain. I'm really an incompetent teacher." Shizuka Hiratsuka said self-deprecatingly. She looked at the boy with a peaceful smile, one of the few times in her teaching career, and gently stroked the top of a student's head. "If you encounter any difficulties in your future life, tell me and I will give you some advice."

"Thank you, Mr. Hiratsuka, you are a very good teacher." After hugging Shizuka Hiratsuka, the boy took a step back and bowed deeply.

Hiratsuka Shizuka turned away and looked into the distance, "Boy, if you don't do well in the exam this time, I will beat you to death. If you do well, the graduation speech will be handed over to you."

"I will go back to Sobu High School to see Hiratsuka-sensei often."

The boy stepped up another step, and was greeted by a veteran warrior who had fought on the battlefield for many years.

"My Gongming, why are you here so late?"

"There's a little bit of traffic on the road."

"Although you are fully confident about the college entrance examination, you must not take it lightly." Sakai Yuichi said calmly, "Don't forget why the Prime Minister was defeated at Red Cliff! It was because he was too conceited."

"Here."

"You are not conceited, and you even often belittle yourself."

Sakai Yuichi patted the boy's shoulder vigorously. "Confidence is not arrogance. I hope you can hold your head high and go to Tokyo with a confident attitude towards life. Then, I can rest assured."

The boy was silent for a moment, then bowed deeply to Yuichi Sakai.

"Thank you, Mr. Sakai."

"Haha, no need to thank me, you earned all this through hard work."

The boy looked at the blue sky. The weather was particularly good today, with no clouds in the sky.

Sakakibara Kaede stepped onto the stairs again and came towards him.

It's his new chapter in life.

End of volume remarks

Dear readers, I am Jue Ye

The first volume, which once wanted to shine brighter than anyone else, has come to an end. What awaits us is our new chapter, entering the university chapter.

It can be regarded as a small milestone, with one volume of 200,000 words and one story.

The outline is 10,000 words. There are currently seven stories, or seven volumes. Each volume is about 200,000 to 300,000 words, and the content of the outline is still being steadily increased and polished.

After working in the online writing circle for many years, I finally want to write what I want to write.

I think I am very satisfied with my first volume. If any readers are dissatisfied with any part, please feel free to speak up. If anything can be changed, it must be revised.

Three female protagonists have appeared now, and I believe everyone knows who they are without me having to say much.

There are five heroines in total. One of them is not mentioned in the first volume but is in the introduction. There is another one... I'll leave you with a thought, and she will be mentioned in the next volume.

The theme of the first volume is youth.

The theme of the second volume is summer.

The title of the second volume is: We still have many summers to spend with friends.

In the book, everyone in real life is the protagonist, with colorful clothes and shining brightly in the world.

Finally, let me say a few words. The reward will be launched in mid-August, and the date is tentatively set for August 16th.

To be more vulgar, please give me a monthly ticket. This book will be about 70 words by the end of the year, with a daily reward of 2023+. According to the outline, this is only two and a half stories. I want to strive for the best of the year in ()

Although it is slow to warm up, I really like the description and expression of the details of life, the attitudes of both parties in the dialogue, and the quietly emerging feelings.

Jue Ye pays respects.

Chapter 1 Good Morning, Tokyo

The cold room gradually became filled with a breath of life after adding easy-to-assemble furniture purchased from IKEA.

"Ha..." The boy wiped the sweat from his head, leaned back on the cushion, and looked at the not-so-big room filled up by him, feeling full of satisfaction.

I just arrived in Tokyo and have found a place to stay. It's an old detached house in Bunkyo Ward, less than 20 minutes' walk from the University of Tokyo.

The rent is 88,000 yen a month, which is considered above average in Tokyo. Considering its geographical location, the small size of the house does not seem to be that important.

The boy took out a photo frame from the cardboard box. On the photo were young boys and girls smiling happily at the camera and making victory signs. The background was the amusement park approaching at night, with warm lights.

Sakakibara Kaede took a look and placed the photo frame on the desk.

Although the house was small, he finally had different rooms that separated the living room and bedroom. Going down the narrow stairs was the kitchen connected to the living room.

It was Uehara Yo who helped find this house. Let's treat him to a barbecue later.

The boy opened the wooden door and stretched lazily towards the rising sun with satisfaction.

"Good morning, Tokyo."

After the unified college entrance examination and the school test, the boy moved out of the old and dilapidated tube building and came to Tokyo alone. He was admitted to the Department of Economics of the Department of Mathematics of the University of Tokyo - the seniors who graduated from there all had a bright future.

For the boy, he has already found a way out. At least if he cannot become an actor in the future, he may be able to become an accountant.

When he said goodbye to everyone at the Chinese restaurant, the lady boss wished him a safe journey in Tokyo and packed a lot of snacks for him. The person who was most reluctant to leave on that night was Jianzi's grandmother. She cried like an 80-year-old lady.

No matter what, a new chapter in the life of the boy named Sakakibara Kaede began.

Wearing a backpack and white retro casual clothes that can be worn in spring and autumn, the boy strolled in the cherry blossom rain in Bunkyo Ward.

There are many differences between college courses and high school courses. The biggest difference is the class time. Most of them are divided into morning and afternoon. Sometimes I have four hours of classes in the morning and go back to the dormitory to play games in the afternoon.

The economics course is neither difficult nor difficult. In addition to the necessary science knowledge such as mathematics, one also needs to have a mind sensitive to the market, and he will learn these new contents today.

However, considering his current status as an actor, he still needs to apply for leave from the dean - if necessary, it would be even better if he could become a student like Ken Sano who works and studies at the same time.

“I still need to find a new place to work…”

An actor's life is not everything. When he is busy, he is very busy, and when he is not busy, he has nothing to do at all. In order to maintain a stable income, he also plans to find a job in a restaurant or cafe as he did in the past.

The boy looked at the coffee shop that opened on the corner and then looked away. If he wanted to apply for a job at a coffee shop, he might need to know how to make coffee. He had worked at Starbucks when he was in college, and he was more suitable for making coffee than being a front desk receptionist.

The boy also considered buying a means of transportation, either a bicycle or a motorcycle. He had experienced the crowded Tokyo subway dozens of times. Besides, the place where he lived now was closer to his office by car, and taking the subway would require taking several detours.

With a vague idea about the future, Kaede Sakakibara entered the University of Tokyo.

"Good morning, Sakakibara-san."

The familiar voice made the boy look in the direction of the speaker unexpectedly, and he saw the configuration of the plaid shirt and glasses, "Senior Jiecheng, good morning, don't you have classes this morning?"

One can feel Yuuki Koichiro's enthusiasm between the lines and in his words, "My classes are in the afternoon. Usually in the morning I work on my game in the software development department and study at the same time."

"It's a little late to say this, but welcome to the University of Tokyo, Sakakibara-kun."

The boy smiled and nodded. After passing the school test, the two of them had a meal at a restaurant nearby. It turned out that as long as his sister was not mentioned, Koichiro Yuki would not transform from a science student to a science macho.

"Well, the freshman economics classroom... I'll take you there." Yuki Koichiro glanced at his watch and found that the first class was about to start. "How about this, we meet in the club this afternoon. Aren't you interested in code and programming? Why don't you join our club?"

Sakakibara Kaede nodded deeply, filled with emotion. He had been coveting the computer configuration of the University of Tokyo for a long time!

Now, he finally has the chance to own a computer that can run the latest live2D galgame on the market. How can he not be moved?

"Of course, after becoming a senior, I can't wait to show my ambitions. As the saying goes... If I hadn't been born as a programmer, the world would have been dark forever!"

Yuki Koichiro was moved and held the boy's hands. In ancient times, people would hold each other's hands tightly when they were excited. The boy knew this a little bit, but Yuki Koichiro's action in front of the freshman classroom... seemed a bit homosexual.

"Good! You're very energetic! I'll wait for you at the club this afternoon, see you there!"

After saying something that could be misunderstood, Yuki Koichiro turned around gracefully, stopped to push his glasses that were flashing white light, and left gracefully.

The boy was left alone to endure the strange looks.

The morning class was taught by Dean Kimura himself. He first congratulated the students sitting in the classroom, proudly recounted the history of the University of Tokyo, and then officially started the class.

Going to college, for boys, is a repeat experience.

However, this time, he cherished it more than before. He carefully wrote down the crooked notes in his notebook while listening to the class, and also wrote down the calculations of the exercises in the class.

He used to live like this. His roommates were all people who loved reading. They liked to go to the library after class. During breaks, they would relax and play a game of League of Legends or Dota to cultivate their mood.

It’s just that he still didn’t play games much and spent more time on his studies, and ultimately lost on the battlefield.

Given this opportunity to start over, Sakakibara Kaede will not give up.

What's more, he wanted to live a dazzling life and become the boy who confessed under the starry sky.

Although reality is not as smooth as in TV dramas, and he also does not have a childhood sweetheart who grew up with him, he still wants to give it a try.

Life is always spent in constant attempts and self-challenges. No matter what the outcome, life has meaning.

The first economics class lasted for two hours, and the boy took more than six pages of notes. He nodded with satisfaction. These sloppy notes would serve as his future review material and spiritual food.

"Hey, isn't this the young man who once went to hell with me?"
