He is an idol and a childhood sweetheart.

"I never thought there would be such a situation... We are already in the 21st century."

Higuchi Enka couldn't help but lean back on the chair weakly:

"Miss Du Ye, haven't you ever read romance-related works?"

"As for girls' comics... I'm actually reading them."

Duye Linshi replied:

"But a lot of it is not clear."

"for example……"

"The... heartbeat feeling mentioned in the book, I never quite understood before."

Having said this, Duye Rinshi suddenly moved his eyes towards the window, and then said softly:

"Ah, but now, I feel like I have a little clue."

"Well……"

Looking at Duye Rinse's youthful look, Higuchi Enka could not guess what she was thinking.

I see, that is to say, Duye Rinse is now in the budding state of love.

If I had to describe it, it would be the level of Toru Asakura during his junior high school days.

Although I have felt my special feelings for Kento Watanabe, I cannot clearly define them...

So, what to do next?

Higuchi Enka's brain began to work rapidly.

Do you want to tell her truthfully, "This kind of feeling is called love"?

If this is the case, then will she devote all her energy to pursuing Kento Watanabe instead of focusing on idol activities?

But if she continues to fool around, not only will she be irresponsible for Du Ye Rinshi's growth, but even if she hides it now, she will one day understand her feelings at the moment. During the conversation, her deliberate concealment will make her appear extra special.

I was worried.

……

"Forget it, I'd better tell you."

After a brief hesitation, Higuchi Enka chose to truthfully explain the concept of "like" to Dono Rinse.

One is because she doesn't want to leave a bad impression on this new junior, and the other is because of what she just saw and heard.

Before meeting Kento Watanabe, Duye Rinse was already practicing various arts at the age of 16 and was quite accomplished.First of all, it has been stated that she does not reject performances, singing and dancing.

At the same time, even with such an excellent foundation, she was still very attentive when learning the basic courses of Xi, without any sign of neglect.

If you want the name of Watanabe Agency to be resounding throughout the idol industry, then Sage needs more outstanding idols.

And this Du Ye Rinshi... there is no doubt that he is an indispensable one among them.

For the sake of Ken Watanabe's ideals, Enka Higuchi wants to believe in this seriousness and potential.

So after that, Higuchi Enka endured the shame and helplessness, and carefully explained her understanding of "love" to Duye Rinse...

........................

In shojo comics, scenes where the heroine looks at the hero and then becomes passionately attracted to him are often depicted.

At such times, the background of the picture will be surrounded by countless flowers, and the heroine's eyes will become sparkling.

Although I can indeed feel the heroine's happiness, but... is it really that exaggerated?

The joy that overflows from the words, the happiness that shows in the eyebrows... Is it just because of being with the hero?

In the past, I never understood what this feeling was about, and I even suspected that it only existed in comics.

But... since I met the producer, I began to realize that this feeling was not a fiction.

The warmth I felt when being taken care of by him, the peace of mind I felt when standing next to him, and the freshness I felt when chatting with him, everything was so fascinating to me.

When I realize the many advantages of the producer, my eyes will already start to search for him subconsciously.

But...even after finding his figure, it seems that nothing more can be done.

A sense of unreasonable happiness gradually accumulated in my heart, and there was no way to vent the nameless joy.

No matter whether you stare at him, talk to him, or even lean on his shoulder a little by the shaking of the train, it can only increase the anxiety and joy in your heart.

As a result... apart from wanting to be with him all the time, I couldn't think of anything else.

[This kind of feeling is called liking.And this state is called love. 】

Higuchi-senpai said to me.

[If the description is more specific, it means that as long as we are together, we will feel happy, and there is a greed in our hearts that wants to continue this happiness... You must also have this idea, right? 】

...Is that so?

……

That's it.

Otherwise, why would I suddenly run to the guest room that afternoon and chat with Mr. Producer?

Why do I feel so lonely and anxious when I think about how we will never see each other again after Mr. Watanabe completes the order?

Why did I say those words to him, "Follow me for life"?

Because I want to continue to be with him, more, more, more...with him.

I want to continue to look at his refreshing smile, I want to continue to listen to his gentle voice, and I want to continue to hear more fresh stories from him that I have never heard before.

Is this what you like?

This is what I like.

On the train, he handed the headphones to me and looked at me with a smile on his face. I liked it very much.

On the train platform, he walked slowly half a step in front of me, but looked back at me from time to time. I liked the way he looked in his eyes.

I like his figure very much when he is bathed in the crimson glow in the nandina bamboo forest and muttering to himself in the mist.

Ah, yes, that's it.

It turns out that since meeting him.

My world...unknowingly became filled with flowers.

In shoujo comics, I have experienced the joy, happiness, anticipation, nervousness, and anxiety that the heroines have experienced.

I like Mr. Watanabe, and I like Mr. Producer.

I, Rinse Duye... fell in love.

........................

"...Isn't this reaction a bit too standard?"

Looking at the girl in front of her who was blushing to her ears and whose eyes were spiral-shaped, Higuchi Enka couldn't help but sigh with a complex expression.

"It's exactly like an innocent girl's first love..."

To be honest, after seeing such an innocent reaction, Higuchi Enka couldn't bear to regard him as a "love rival"...

Ah... No, she herself has never thought about competing with anyone for a sage.

She was simply worried that Xian Ren would be affected by this and would not be able to work with peace of mind!

"Then...that's what happened. There is no doubt that you have fallen in love with Xian Ren. But for Xian Ren's sake, before falling in love, please——"

"First continue to be an idol and support the ideals of the producer...right?"

"……Eh?"

Higuchi Enka couldn't help but be robbed by the other party

He was stunned.

At this time, Du Ye Rinshi, whose face was still flushed, was no longer confused. She pursed her lips and said in a softer tone than usual:

"I have not forgotten what Higuchi-senpai said at the beginning... For the producer, this agency and us, as idols, are his most precious treasures, right?"

"……Well, that's it."

"Then, Rinshi will definitely do my best to help the producer protect his most precious treasure."

A gentle smile appeared on the corner of Du Ye Linshi's mouth:

"Not only as his idol, but also as...his admirer."

“……………………”

Higuchi Enka couldn't help but be a little shocked by this dazzling smile.

Pure and straightforward affection, and the same dedication as hers.

To a certain extent, it's like a fusion of Asakura and her...

(Sorry, Asakura.)

Higuchi Enka sighed slightly in her heart.

(I seem to have accidentally awakened a rather remarkable guy...)

A powerful enemy is coming.

Chapter 54: Your peace of mind, my “torture”

"Ah, okay, let's settle it, please...Yes, then, please allow me to be rude..."

After putting down the phone, Kento Watanabe subconsciously took the thermos cup at hand and poured out a cup of still steaming green tea——

"...I'm completely addicted, I am."

Putting the tea cup aside, Kento Watanabe took a long breath.

The arrival of Duye Rinse once again added a lively and lifelike atmosphere to Watanabe Office.

The office, which was originally empty except for Kento Watanabe and office documents, has begun to become more and more "livable"

Kento Watanabe stared at the potted marigolds by the window, and couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

Thinking about it this way, in fact, before Rinse joined, Enka and Fuyuko also brought a lot of changes here.

The first is Enxiang. In addition to confiscating most of his private collection of cigarettes and beer in the refrigerator, she often comes here to clean up after school, and even helps him take the old clothes in the lounge home for cleaning. Ironing.

Then there is Fuyuko. After the "Hell's Haunting" incident, in order to prepare some simple dishes for Kento Watanabe in the office, she completely cleaned up the cupboards in the office and brought a lot of tableware. with kitchen utensils.

Then, there are many objects brought by Duye Rinshi.

Exquisite and traditional teapots and teacups, wind chimes affixed to the door, and potted plants brought from the dormitory...

This space that originally would only bring him endless loneliness and emptiness has now become so warm.

"I always feel that no amount of words of thanks are enough."

Every girl trusts and supports his ideals, and every girl is working hard with him in the same direction.

Among them, the one he was most grateful for was indeed the one who saved him from despair——

"Speaking of which, it has only been five days and the clothes are already finished."

Kento Watanabe was quite impressed by the efficiency of the Duye family:

"The clothes will arrive tomorrow, and I think I can go to Chatan Studio for shooting this weekend."

"Is it Wu Fu?"

"Well, to put it simply, it's a high-end kimono."

"Let's talk first... You should also know that although I do wear a yukata, I have never worn any high-end kimono... I guess the same goes for Fuyuko."

Enka Higuchi said this while sitting on the sofa.

After hearing this, Kento Watanabe said:

"It's okay. Leave it to Rinshi then. She should also be happy to help you."
