He is an idol and a childhood sweetheart.

"I told you...it's time to get off work now."

Higuchi Enka glanced at the clock on the wall and said:

"You've been so tired all day, do you still have to work at night?"

"Just checking the various contacts in the mailbox, it shouldn't take too long."

Kento Watanabe said:

"Ah, by the way, Enxiang, please help me put the extra pillow in the lounge on the sofa later."

"…………"

Did you naturally decide to sleep on the sofa?

That's right, after all, it's him, and this kind of basic consideration and care is completely normal for him.

But... the reason why she wanted to stay here today was not to receive this care.

and so--

"...Let's sleep together."

"……………………………………ah?"

Kento Watanabe almost suspected that there was something wrong with his ears.

"Um...Miss Higuchi Enka? What did you say just now? I didn't quite hear it -"

"I said, let's sleep together tonight."

With a hint of blush, whether it was because he had just come out of the bathroom or because of shame, Higuchi Enka said again:

"Both of us are the kind of people who sleep more peacefully, and the bed looks wide enough."

"No, no, no, it has nothing to do with the width of the bed, right?"

Kento Watanabe's voice was even a little too surprised and became a little uncontrollable.

"It was because I was drunk that I allowed that situation to happen last Bon Festival! Now that it has happened, let me sleep in the same bed with you... Absolutely not!"

"...What will you do to me?"

"You obviously know I won't do anything, right?"

"Isn't that enough?"

Desperately suppressing the shame and wavering in his heart, Higuchi Enka said in as calm a tone as possible:

"I believe you."

"No, no, no, this is not a question of trust or distrust, it is a question of the most basic principles!"

Kento Watanabe began to dance and express his objections.

Lines such as "there are differences between men and women", "men and women are not intimate with each other", "Enxiang, you are 17 years old this year and a big girl" were repeated over and over again.

Faced with Kento Watanabe's strong resistance, Enka Higuchi had no intention of giving in, and shouted to him louder than usual:

"So...you have such a lonely look in your eyes, what's wrong with relying on me a little now?"

"…………"

Like a hurricane blowing away the fog, Higuchi Enka's words made the disguised panic and tension disappear in an instant.

Under Higuchi Enka's gaze, Watanabe Kento's expression froze at first, and then gradually turned into a touch of indescribable embarrassment.

"...Is it that obvious?"

"It's not obvious at all, at least Fuyuko and Du Ye didn't see anything."

Higuchi Enka said:

"But I'm your childhood sweetheart, so I understand."

Because she had been watching, she was able to discover the emotions hidden behind thoughtfulness, tenderness, indifference, panic, happiness, and even happiness.

"So now...I'm going to say it again."

With persistence that could not be refuted, Higuchi Enka looked directly into Kento Watanabe's eyes and said again:

"Tonight... let's sleep together."

Chapter 63: I want to sleep with your loneliness

Since childhood, Kento Watanabe has seldom exposed his vulnerable side.

In the eyes of outsiders, he is always so strong, hard-working and full of motivation.Just like a machine that doesn't know what frustration and fatigue are, it continues to radiate its own light and heat to the surroundings.

"But... I have seen what you, sage, look like when you feel lonely or helpless."

Higuchi Enka said:

"You should still remember the scene when we met two months ago after a year and a half.

"

"...Yeah. Of course I remember."

Kento Watanabe nodded.

"That meeting with you was the most important turning point in my life."

"That's why I know what it's like when you feel lonely."

Beneath the usual gentleness and thoughtfulness, there are occasionally gratuitous silences and contemplation.

The pair of eyes that always look at the person in front of them often become inexplicably hollow and distant.

"Actually, if you think about it carefully, I saw you showing this expression once when I was a child...and that time was when you first received a letter from Ms. Mai."

"........."

"It's just that I didn't think much about it at that time. I thought you were just a little tired, but looking back now...it turns out that you were already hiding yourself at that time."

"...You remember it too clearly, don't you?"

Kento Watanabe reluctantly twitched his lips and said in a joking tone:

"It turns out that you have really cared about me since that time."

"Well, that's actually the case."

Only this time, Higuchi Enka did not continue to be as tough as before.

"I've always cared about you...both as a child and now."

"…………"

Faced with Higuchi Enka's unprecedented frankness, Watanabe Kento was speechless for a moment.

"I can tolerate working so hard to distract myself in normal times, but today you also participated in the filming like us. There is no way I will allow you to continue working when you are exhausted."

As Higuchi Enka spoke, he forcibly dragged Kento Watanabe's office chair back and stood between him and the computer.

"So now, go take a shower and take a good rest...or you can choose to ignore my words and continue working."

"You...why are you telling me to ignore it?"

Kento Watanabe raised his head and said helplessly:

"You are directly in front of me now. Even if I want to continue working, there is nothing I can do, right?"

"Who knows, push me away or whatever...it's up to you."

Higuchi Enka leaned her back on the desk and supported her hands on the table and said to Kento Watanabe:

"Anyway, given the power gap between us, if you want to do anything to me... I will never be able to resist you."

"...You girl."

Seeing Higuchi Enka's "non-violent non-cooperation" attitude, Watanabe Kento couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"You obviously know that I won't do this kind of thing to you, right?"

"…………"

Higuchi Enka chose to express his attitude through silence.

"You who have always only preached have actually begun to take practical actions, and you have become more and more cunning..."

After staring at her face for a while, Watanabe Kento shook his head, stood up, and put his hands on Higuchi Enka's shoulders——

"Then...I will do as you say, don't go back on your word."

"!?"

Kento Watanabe's actions shocked Higuchi Enka at first, and then a biting chill rushed into his heart.

(… Even if I say this, he still doesn’t want to open up to me?)

Higuchi Enka looked at Kento Watanabe with disbelieving eyes, and his face even turned pale.

It was obvious that she had demonstrated her determination with tough practical actions as never before, and it was obvious that she so seriously hoped that he could rely on her!But... he didn't seem to intend to accept his intention.sixty-nine. four-nine-three. six-one-three-five

(Does it mean that I am so unworthy of reliance? Or... he has never regarded me as—eh?)

However, the next second, just when Higuchi Enka thought that Kento Watanabe was going to push her away, Kento Watanabe took her body into his arms, turned around slowly, and pushed her away with extremely gentle force. Pushed onto the office chair.

"Turn off the phone for me, and then... turn off the lights in the office for me."

Under Higuchi Enka's blank gaze, Watanabe Kento first stretched out his right hand and gently pinched her pink cheek, then turned around and walked away from the office, leaving only Higuchi behind. Enxiang sat alone on the office chair, his whole body as if he was petrified, and there was no movement for a long time.

“……………?!”

It wasn't until nearly three minutes after Kento Watanabe left the office that Higuchi Enka finally recovered from the long sluggishness and realized what had just happened.

The residual warmth on the office chair and the unforgettable touch on her cheek brought her back to her original shape, turning her into a trembling cub curled up on the chair. Shy joy and a sense of security instantly intertwined in her throat, turning into an unbearable wave. The famous whimpering sound.

"It's terrible...it's really...terrible!"

Before Watanabe Kento left, his gentle gaze and slightly doting movements were like the bright light on the stage, leaving a lingering "visual persistence" in her heart.

She never thought that this person, who had always been honest and protective,

The guy who kept guard would actually use such an ambiguous and cunning way to "deceive" her feelings!

"If you dare to make me so embarrassed, I will never forgive you."

Higuchi Enka, who was slumped on the office chair, muttered through gritted teeth while covering his still-unhealed heart.

"Tonight...just wait and see, Kento Watanabe!"

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

"Haha... I really scared her."

On the other side, recalling Higuchi Enka's expression at the moment when he put his arm around his shoulders, Watanabe Kento couldn't help but chuckle and shook his head.

Of course he knew that his actions could easily cause Enka to misunderstand him as being "rejected", but...this was exactly Kento Watanabe's original intention.

"I've always been bullied by you, so it's time for me to regain my position a little bit."

But...it's a shame she was able to find out.

Kento Watanabe turned to look at himself in the mirror, and stretched out his hand to tug at the corner of his eye.

"You can even see the change in the eyes. Should I say that we are truly childhood sweethearts..."

In other words...he is truly worthy of Enka Higuchi.

"If this continues, it might be really dangerous."

Kento Watanabe pointed the nozzle of cold water directly at his head and whispered:

"I'm a producer, I'm a producer, I'm a producer..."

This extremely "troublesome" day is not over yet.

Chapter 64: I want to sleep with your loneliness

After taking a shower and changing clothes, Kento Watanabe came to the lounge as Higuchi Enka said before.

In the lounge, Higuchi Yuka, who had turned off the computer and office lights, was leaning on the bed, staring closely at Kento Watanabe who had just entered the door——
