I live my life in Tokyo

Higuchi Madoka is not singing for anyone, she is singing because she wants to sing.

The music gradually became fainter and the girl turned around to look at him.

Just like the sunset and sea painted by the romantic painter Ivan Konstantinovich Aivazovsky, it is a scene that warms the heart.

The purple sunset glow seemed to be colored by Higuchi Madoka's purple eyes and brown-red short hair. The teardrop mole under her purple eyes wrapped her in a mysterious and cold veil. There were inexplicable feelings hidden in her eyes, as if they were untouchable like an ancient well. There was a faint smile at the corner of her mouth, just like the seagulls that lightly embellished the sea surface, which was short-lived. In the boy's inner world, this was a world-famous painting-level beauty.

The boy stopped on the beach and looked into the distance.

Nothing goes better together than the sea and Higuchi Enka.

"Wake up... Hey, wake up."

The boy opened his eyes and stood in front of him. Higuchi Yuanka had changed back into her normal clothes. The latter glanced at her phone while carrying a backpack. "Or do you want to stay here overnight?"

Hearing this, the boy looked out the window. The sunset was exactly the same as the one in his dream.

He fell asleep unknowingly while listening to Higuchi Madoka's practice.

"Higuchi-san, let me take you home."

After tidying up his T-shirt so that it wasn't messy anymore, the boy breathed a sigh of relief and made the same invitation to Higuchi Madoka as he had made a few days ago.

"What if I say I don't want to?"

"Then I might follow you from a distance and won't leave until you go home."

Higuchi Madoka turned around and tapped her sandals, "So it's Mr. Stalker. Can I call the police?"

"Don't!"

The conversation between the two ended again with Higuchi Madoka's victory and the boy's silence, which really made the man silent and the woman cry.

Strolling out of the idol area and taking the elevator downstairs, Sakakibara Kaede embraced the sunset and caught a glimpse of a familiar figure from the corner of his eye.

Higuchi Yuanxiang followed his gaze and saw a girl with short red hair leaving from the side door, getting into a private car and leaving quickly.

"It's Nishikino-san."

"Nishikino-san, a member of that Muse group?"

Higuchi Madoka nodded calmly, recalling the competition and joint performances between idol groups, "Noctchill had the honor of performing on the same stage with Muse before... I knew Nishikino-san before Fes."

"Now that Muse is about to disband, Nishikino-san may be looking for another way out for STARS."

There was no emotion in her words, just the simplest and most neutral description. The boy recalled the reasons for the formation of Muse and their struggles, and while feeling sorry for them, he sent his best wishes to them in his heart.

My former classmates have gone their separate ways, and the only ones who can really get together during holidays are two or three classmates in nearby cities. Amid the hustle and bustle of the night market, we eat a few skewers in an open-air barbecue restaurant, drink a few bottles of wine, and talk about the past, present, and future of life.

People come and go, and every moment when two lines intersect is worth cherishing.

"Regarding what happened that day," Higuchi Madoka said, looking back while carrying her bag, "I will temporarily take back what I said that day. But I find it hard to believe."

"I find it hard to believe that there is a real person like Hayabusa Mizuno in the world."

"You have a good personality, good relationships, and a good temper. That's you."

The boy was somewhat flattered by Higuchi Madoka's straightforward praise. This... These were actually words spoken by Higuchi Madoka?

"Don't you ever feel powerless?"

Higuchi Yuanka stopped walking, her back facing the busy night scene of Tokyo, her eyes calm, "Don't you have negative emotions? Don't you have times when you are angry?"

The boy turned his head to the side, and the lights of Tokyo at night gradually lit up, lighting up the world with different colors. A taxi stopped beside the two of them, and the old man in the driver's seat looked at the two people who stopped and didn't leave in confusion. Seeing that they had no intention of getting in, he gradually drove away.

It's really unlike me to ask a question like this.

The girl looked at the boy in the twilight and closed her eyes with some self-mockery. She no longer cared about getting the boy's answer.

The real thing does not exist.

"I want to make every day count." The boy gave his answer. His smile was faint, and his blue eyes were blurred in the light. "I want to live the most wonderful day every day. This is my small goal."

“It’s natural to feel angry, furious, and powerless.”

"If this route doesn't work, then try another one. People can't always be entangled in negative emotions, but when such emotions come, they are usually unavoidable, so I usually go out for a good meal and reward myself in an alternative way to relax."

The boy smiled, "If eating is relaxing for me, then Higuchi-san is spending time with his childhood sweetheart."

Higuchi Yuanka pursed her lips, turned around and walked quickly forward.

It really looks like Mizuno Hayabusa.

The boy followed behind her, thinking about what he had said just now that might have offended Higuchi Yuanka. After thinking it over again and again, he still couldn't come to a conclusion. So he gave up thinking about it and decided to consider whether there would be any discounts on potato chips at the supermarket tonight.

Unlike the way they talked about everything when walking with Sakurajima Mai, when they were with Higuchi Madoka, they didn't need to force themselves to say anything.

Two people were walking one in front and one behind. The one in front was chatting on Line, while the one behind was browsing Twitter. It was impossible for the boy to check his private account in public. At this moment, he was using his official account to like the updates of the actors he followed.

His last tweet has the most likes so far.

The boy scrolled to his own photo, which was a photo of him petting a cat in front of a cafe that day. Compared with the enthusiasm in the comments section, the boy hoped that those fanatical fans would not know that he worked in a cafe. This would not only cause trouble for Shiki-san and the students working in the restaurant, but also prevent him from getting similar temporary jobs in the future.

He doesn't want his every move to attract people's attention, but now it is just as Koichiro Yuki said, he is bound to become famous, and his lifestyle and the way he does things will have to change.

All the boy can do is enjoy the present and live in the present.

When Higuchi Madoka arrived at her home, Mrs. Higuchi opened the door for her. Unlike her daughter who was not good at expressing her emotions, she gently rubbed Higuchi Madoka's head. Her eyes moved past the short crimson hair and saw a smiling young man standing outside her home with his hands in the pockets of his cheap jeans.

"Thank you, Sakakibara-kun, for bringing Yuanxiang back."

Mrs. Higuchi ignored the speechless look in her daughter's eyes, walked up to the boy and bowed gently.

The boy quickly stepped aside and saluted, not daring to accept the wife's salute. "This... I don't deserve it."

I spoke too quickly just now and almost said that this was my job.

If he told her, the smiling Mrs. Higuchi might turn around and go back to the kitchen to get a kitchen knife, and at this time Higuchi Madoka would knock herself down and tie her to a chair.

He foresaw this future.

"What a polite young man." Mrs. Higuchi was different from Higuchi Yuanxiang's coldness. She gave people a very gentle atmosphere, as if she saw spring. "It's getting late now. Where does Sakakibara-kun live? Do you want to have dinner before leaving?"

Higuchi Yuanxiang was still standing at the door, and when she heard what her mother said, she stared at the boy, urging him to leave quickly. Seeing that the boy tilted his head in confusion, she made a big cross gesture at him.

The boy was slightly amused by Higuchi Madoka's unusual behavior, but even if Higuchi Madoka didn't say anything, he would not enter Mrs. Higuchi's house at her invitation.

The relationship between people is very subtle. The boy knows that with his current relationship with his colleagues, he can only visit the homes of a few male colleagues.

Originally, I could have gone to Yuki Koichiro's house, but Senior Yuki treated me as a wolf who coveted his sister and regarded me as his sister's number one enemy, which was really a headache.

"No, thank you. I'll bother you next time."

The boy returned the greeting and said sincerely, "When I first entered the entertainment industry, it was thanks to Higuchi-san's support that I was able to adapt to this environment quickly. It is natural for me to send Higuchi-san home. What's more, the house I rented is also in Bunkyo-ku, and we are on the same road."

"Do you live in Bunkyo-ku too? Sakakibara-kun doesn't look very old, so you're in your third year of high school..."

The boy straightened his chest, and although he didn't move, he showed the standard posture of standing like a pine tree.

He had been waiting for this day for a long time.

"I am not very talented... I am currently a freshman in the Faculty of Economics at the University of Tokyo." The boy pushed his non-existent black-framed glasses and smiled modestly.

Mrs. Higuchi smiled even more. "She is a top student at the University of Tokyo. If Yuanxiang needs extra lessons, please help her."

The boy patted his chest and promised, "As long as Higuchi-san is willing to ask questions, I will definitely pass on everything I have to her."

Mrs. Higuchi chuckled softly, and the boy laughed a few times in agreement. These few waves back and forth were truly a roll of charm!

"So Sakakibara-kun is our neighbor. Please come visit us more often in the future."

Mrs. Higuchi held her face with one hand and smiled softly. Higuchi Madoka, who was standing in front of the door, felt the boy's strange gaze. She finally couldn't stand listening to the conversation between her mother and Mr. Stalker, so she turned and entered the entrance.

"Ah, she's gone." Mrs. Higuchi smiled, covering her mouth.

"Yuuka's personality is difficult to get along with, right? As a mother, I want to thank Sakakibara-kun. With your company, Yuuka's life in the entertainment industry will be much more lively."

"Where."

They exchanged a few polite words. The boy spoke appropriately and politely, with stars in his eyes. He is indeed one of the few outstanding male actors in STARS agency.

Anyone who sees him like this will praise him by saying, what a well-dressed and handsome young man he is!

At this moment, the boy was shining with dazzling colors like STARS.

Mrs. Higuchi smiled and waved goodbye to the boy. She took a few steps back and entered the warm villa.

Such a wife is truly a treasure of the world. The boy sighed with satisfaction. The conversation just now was as comfortable as the one he had with the beautiful girl in the galgame. During the back-and-forth conversation, he seemed to see the progress prompt of the strategy and his favorability increased.

Next, just choose Mrs. Higuchi when the option comes, and you will enter Mrs. Higuchi’s personal line.

After the joke, the boy still felt a little envious of Higuchi Madoka, as he had neither a childhood sweetheart nor a home.

His thoughts suddenly stopped. It seemed that according to what Higuchi Yuanxiang said, the boy's performance just now did have some flavor of Mizuno Hayabusa. When talking to Mrs. Higuchi just now, he used rhetoric + charm, and also performed an economics roll, inadvertently showing his profound knowledge as a top student of the University of Tokyo.

However, the skill he chose the most was in the library. After all, the boy had a photographic memory, so he could still do such simple things as finding a few classics on the bookshelf and using the profound vocabulary in them.

The boy sighed when he found some soda that was about to expire and was on sale in the supermarket. The Almighty Soda commercial he had filmed before became very popular after the success of the TV series. Almighty Soda thanked him for his efforts and sent him a truckload of Almighty Soda.

After fighting with an old lady in the supermarket, the boy passed by the park with the bag of food and saw the girl with short dyed hair on the climbing frame in the park.

From a distance, he waved to Asakura Toru, whom he had met several times. The latter smiled back at him and continued to look up at the night sky.

The radio girl was really confused. The boy saw the other three members of the idol group at Higuchi Madoka's house that night. It was not difficult to guess that the other members lived in Bunkyo Ward, not far from Higuchi Madoka's house.

After returning home, the boy put the food he bought into the refrigerator and took the time to reply to the messages about the exam sent to him by Nakano Ichika and Nakano Nino.

He didn't expect them to make rapid progress; as long as they scored higher each time than the previous time, they would have achieved their goal.

I also have to go to school to pay homage to the Emperor of Han.

Chapter 21: A Song Not Sung for Others

Ato Ryu Sakakibara was a native of Chiba Prefecture, Changshan. His surname was Sakakibara, his taboo name was Feng, and his courtesy name was Zilong. His family fell into poverty.

A young Taoist priest observed the person's appearance and was amazed, saying, "With the appearance of a dragon and a phoenix, this person is a noble man. His heart is as strong as metal and stone, and he will surely help the world."

He was eighteen years old, eight feet tall, with a majestic appearance. He was a brave general in the Department of Economics of Tokyo University in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. He was promoted to the rank of Huben Cavalry Captain and had a fief of two thousand stones.

The emperor was delighted to see Zilong and said, "Qianye Yingjie, you are good at reading, good at using books, and know the art of war. You are indeed my Zifang."

"My Zilong, what do you want from me?"

The morning class of the Economics Department had just ended. Zilong followed the emperor to the office. After gently putting down the memorial, he looked at the emperor, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.

Ichiro Kimura drank the soy milk he had just taken out of the small refrigerator and motioned for the boy to sit down.

"But what happened to the acting?"

Sakakibara Feng smiled shyly. He took the iced soy milk handed over by Professor Kimura Ichiro, thanked him and sat down. "Dean Kimura, I may have to take more days off than before in the next few months."

"Well, Sakakibara-kun is filming a movie?" Kimura Ichiro wiped his lenses with a smooth cloth, put them on after a moment, and the wrinkles at the corners of his mouth moved slightly upwards. "You are a special seedling in the Department of Economics. You don't need any special attention to thrive."

"You were able to complete the essay, market research, and the homework I assigned to the students. I don't think missing classes and lack of attendance are big problems."

Kimura Ichiro put away his smile, his face gradually tensed, "It's just that, Sakakibara boy, you have to take the exam, understand?"

The boy was impressed. When it came to getting along with students, Yuichi Sakai was worthy of being Ichiro Kimura's disciple. He was exactly the same as him.

"The University of Tokyo is an open institution. All students here have their own goals." Kimura Ichiro's lips were stained with a white mark. He elegantly took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth. "In the past, some students became artists while in school, and some became entrepreneurs."

"I am happy for you because you have found your own path among so many."

"Now that we have found it, we must run forward even at the risk of our lives!"

The emperor's words are deafening.

The boy pursed his lips and nodded.

Putting on his schoolbag and bowing to the old man sitting in the office chair, the boy pushed open the door of the dean's office and breathed a sigh of relief.

Asking for leave was easier than he thought.

He nodded to the mature woman with short black hair who was waiting in front of the dean's office, "Senior, you can go in."

"Ah, isn't this Sakakibara-kun?"

The maturely dressed woman told him his name right away. The boy was confused for a moment, then he suddenly realized what was going on. He took out a marker from his shirt pocket and prepared to sign.

"Pfft!" The woman laughed. Seeing that the boy misunderstood, she felt as if her prank was successful.

"I didn't expect that Sakakibara-kun's first reaction would be to give me an autograph instead of asking for my phone number."

The boy was surprised. Is this a new way of picking up girls?
