They all pushed me!

As an actor, Liang is undoubtedly a senior who is many times more competent than her. He is not a half-baked person like her who refuses to step out of his comfort zone. From his debut to now, he has been continuously producing various high-quality film and television works every year, just like a born professional actor.

He played the role, which then became a classic role in the memories of too many people. So much so that when Kitagawa Ryo announced his relationship to the public, some people's reaction was that the little boy who made them cry uncontrollably in the cinema more than ten years ago has grown up and is in love; some people thought that Hamlet, whose every move on the stage of the drama attracted their attention and attention, is about to get married; some people, however, felt that the unforgettable wandering swordsman on the big screen finally met his Kamiya Kaoru.

In the eyes of those CP fans, this is the story in the play finally coming outside the play. Ophelia is no longer sleeping alone in the Flower River, and can renew her relationship with Hamlet; the proofreading girl Etsuko Kono and the college student novelist Yukito Orihara finally get married; the contractual marriage of Tsuzaki Hemitsu and Moriyama Mikuri living together is a dream connection with reality.

That's why Hoshino Ai is particularly fascinated by Kitagawa Ryo as he was just now and as he is now. It would be better to say that if she were to be honest and make some even stranger requests, she would actually agree to them.

"…I forgive you, Ryo, the acting geek, workaholic, and sister-con."

She stared at Beichuan Ryo's sleeping face and whispered this softly.

Because at this time, Hoshino Ai can feel most firmly that everything now is not performed on the stage, a false story about who is involved with whom, and the relationship between the two is not the so-called love caused by the play as many people imagine. The cause and effect should be reversed from the beginning.

It's just that two people named Kitagawa Ryo and Hoshino Ai are preparing to get married.

-------------------------------------

"I'd like to confirm with the two distinguished guests once again. Today's wedding photos will be four sets in total, two indoors and two outdoors. The styles are minimalist light and shadow, retro pure colors, fresh forest style, and dusk seascape."

"Okay, thank you again for choosing our company. A staff member will come to take you to the official photo shoot location in a while. I wish you two happy weddings in advance and hope you two can have a satisfying day today."

After watching the polite front desk staff leave the room, Hoshino Ai breathed a sigh of relief, but her right hand still tightly held the hand of Saito Kyoko beside her:

"Kyoko A-mon, I'm so nervous, what should I do?"

"…When did I become Doraemon again?"

Saito Kyoko shook her head helplessly, and then moved closer to help Hoshino Ai apply some eye shadow. She gently held her face with both hands and comforted her like she was coaxing a child:

"Be good, Ai is so beautiful today. She will look even prettier if she smiles."

While comforting Hoshino Ai so gently, Saito Kyoko cast a worried look at Kitagawa Rumi who was sitting on the sofa on the other side with Kitagawa Ryo.

Although accompanying his brother to take wedding photos as the only family member sounds like nothing wrong, in the eyes of Saito Kyoko, who is half-informed, this is simply a hidden mine that may explode at any time. However, for her, Kitagawa Rumie and Hoshino Ai are both her flesh and blood, and she really can't find a solution for the time being. She can only keep her eyes on the two of them like now, as if she is going to rush over to save the situation if anything happens.

However, what made her feel a little relieved was that Kitagawa Rumi had behaved normally so far. Her every move was perfectly in line with her identity as a younger sister. She had not done anything out of the ordinary. She seemed to be really concerned about the wedding photos they were taking today and even turned down today's work.

"So we have to take four sets of wedding photos? I thought there was only one set."

"The main dress is usually worn at the wedding. Most wedding photos have three to five sets of dresses, and the corresponding styles are also different. Ai and I discussed it for a long time at the beginning."

Facing his sister's doubts, Beichuan Liang also explained with a smile, but his eyes were cast towards Hoshino Ai next to him:

"After all, we were both complete novices at the time. Looking at those 'Hepburn style', 'French forest style', 'black gauze forest style' and 'fresh forest style' made our eyes dazzled. And this is just a branch of one style."

Seeing Kitagawa Ryo talking to her, Hoshino Ai suddenly calmed down and seemed to remember the previous situation. She covered her mouth and smiled and replied:

“At first I thought the previews were pretty good, but later I discovered that there were a lot of so-called styles that Liang and I could actually take photos of ourselves later, like outdoor mountain and lake scenes. It would be nice to take photos of them on our honeymoon.”

"Besides, just taking these four sets of photos, including changing clothes, removing makeup and applying makeup in between, will take a whole day. This is not a wedding photo shoot just for the sake of taking wedding photos. If you take too many photos and end up being so tired that you can hardly smile, there will be no point."

At this time, the staff responsible for picking them up also arrived. After taking the man Kitagawa Ryo and the woman Hoshino Ai away to put on makeup and change clothes, they also diligently brought fruit plates and drinks to the families of Saito Kyoko and Kitagawa Rumi, and asked them to wait for a while.

Seeing that Kitagawa Ryo and Hoshino Ai had both left, and only Kitagawa Rumi and herself were around, Saito Kyoko also leaned slightly towards Rumi and asked tentatively:

"Actually, I can just come here alone today. Ruby has been so busy with work lately, she should rest more at home."

"Well - not that tiring, after all, being an idol has always been my dream. Although my schedule is really full recently, I'm doing something I love, so Kyoko doesn't have to worry about me so much."

Kitagawa Rumi took a sip of the juice that the staff had just brought over. Her tone was still cheerful and there was nothing unusual in her voice.

"Today should be one of the happiest days in my brother's life. Being able to accompany my brother at a time like this and witness his happiness with my own eyes... well, just like Kyoko will accompany Sister Ai here today?"

"Because Ai and Ruby are like daughters to me. If there is such a day when Ruby grows up, I will definitely accompany Ruby here."

Saito Kyoko smoothed the hair behind her ears, looked at Kitagawa Rumi with a smile and said:

"Although it's a little early, I really want to see how Ruby will look in her wedding dress in the future."

"That's too early."

"Time flies by so fast. I always felt that love was a little girl, but now she is about to wear a wedding dress and become a bride."

After beating around the bush for a while, Saito Kyoko still couldn't figure out anything from Kitagawa Rumi's expression, so she was planning to use a more straightforward approach. But the moment she said it, she was worried that it would irritate the other party, so after hesitating for a long time, she stumbled and asked:

"Ruby will be attending Ryo's wedding next month, right? ...I'm asking this because it will make it easier to arrange ACE's schedule."

"Of course I'll go. Kyoko, just help me keep the itinerary for those few days. Please, please."

Kitagawa Rumi looked at Saito Kyoko strangely, then answered without hesitation with an expression as if it was a matter of course.

"……it is good."

"Oh yeah, that's what I've been wanting to ask Kyoko. As the brother's sister, is there anything I can do or help with at the wedding? Akane and Kana Arima have already been chosen as flower girls. If I add them in, it will be an odd number of three, which is not good. As for bridesmaids, Ai has already asked her former teammate B Komachi to be the bridesmaid. I'm too young compared to them, so it doesn't seem right."

Saito Kyoko fell silent after hearing this. For a moment, she couldn't even tell whether Kitagawa Rumi was speaking sarcastically to vent her emotions. But when she saw her blinking her bright eyes and glancing at her, the distressed expression on her face didn't seem fake. After a moment of hesitation, she felt relieved and answered seriously:

"Generally speaking, as the man's family member, there is nothing that Ruby must do, but after all, Ryo is nominally the only family member now, so Ruby can also try to do some small things like entertaining guests, accepting gifts and expressing gratitude."

"I understand. Thank you, Kyoko A-meng—"

Kitagawa Rumi nodded and also imitated the way Hoshino Ai called her, deliberately lengthening her tone.

Although she still felt that something was not quite right, seeing how Rumi was so well-behaved, Saito Kyoko didn't dare to ask any more questions about it. She just found another topic and the two of them waited for the newlyweds while chatting about the activities after ACE.

After a while, Hoshino Ai, dressed in pure white veil, and Kitagawa Ryo, who was also wearing a corresponding suit for the groom, walked out hand in hand. After saying hello to Kitagawa Rumi and the others, they followed the photographer here towards the first shooting location where the set had been completed.

As a set of wedding photos mainly used for display at the wedding scene, the minimalist lighting style shot indoors, as the name suggests, uses a solid-color background and lighting effects to highlight the bride and groom. Therefore, their attire is elegant and generous. After putting on makeup, it is even more difficult to take your eyes off them. Standing together, they look like a perfect match made in heaven.

Because both Kitagawa Ryo and Hoshino Ai have experience in facing the camera and shooting, their bodies are straight and coordinated, which dazzled the photographer. After adjusting the relevant photographic equipment, he raised his hands to signal that the two could start doing the relevant movements and poses.

Although wedding companies also provide similar wedding photo strategies for inexperienced newlyweds, Hoshino Ai designed various wedding photo poses at home early on, and even took Kitagawa Ryo to rehearse several times. At this point, she was very familiar with the practice and did not need any special instructions or assistance from the photographer.

The progress was smoother than the photographer had imagined. She had actually seen newlyweds who had thought out their movements in advance, but many of the movements and poses designed by the brides often did not achieve the desired effect when captured in the camera.

There was another weird one, it didn't even feel like they were taking wedding photos for two people, but rather a solo show. Once the man made all the movements, only his closed eyes, side face, and even most of the back of his head were left in the camera. And because of the height difference, all his poses were bending over, turning sideways, and kneeling on one knee, as if he was afraid of stealing the limelight from the bride. It was a bit like the protagonist and supporting role.

The various postures displayed by Kitagawa Ryo and Hoshino Ai in front of the camera, although without any fancy movements and seemed a bit simple, their various little glances and expressions were quite well grasped, just like appreciating beautiful things will make one's mood happy. The photographer has secretly decided in his heart that he must obtain the other party's consent to put these wedding photos as demonstrations on his company's official website.

Standing with arms around waist, hugging from behind, leaning head against each other, hugging lower waist, holding hands and leaning on shoulders...

Almost forgetting the passage of time, the photographer kept clicking the shutter, freezing all the most beautiful moments of the newlyweds in front of him.

After all the postures were finished, she finally stood up with a look of unsatisfied desire, gave a thumbs up in the direction of Kitagawa Ryo and Hoshino Ai, and said with a smile:

"I feel like this order will be the easiest one for us to edit. Although I know that Mr. Kitagawa and Ms. Hoshino are both well-known domestic actors, they are more photogenic and stunning than I imagined."

In this way, it took a whole morning to complete the two sets of indoor shots - minimalist light and shadow and pure color retro. Because a full meal might ruin the makeup, in order to improve efficiency, Kitagawa Ryo and Hoshino Ai just casually ate two pre-prepared chocolates and energy bars, and then rushed to the shooting location of the outdoor scenes without stopping.

Mori style, that is, forest style. Forest style wedding photos mostly use green plants and forests as the background, so spring and summer are the best time to take wedding photos. This is one of the reasons why Kitagawa Ryo and Hoshino Ai chose the fresh forest style.

The lush forest lawn exudes a romantic atmosphere unique to early spring, and the green atmosphere full of oxygen also makes the originally depressed mood become lively again after a whole morning of shooting.

Kitagawa Ryokazu, wearing a light-colored suit and a pure white veil, and Hoshino Ai, wearing a slim wedding dress, made various poses in front of the camera casually, easily and freely. Every frame of the picture revealed a quiet and sweet taste, giving people a gentle, romantic, fresh and healing feeling.

Hugging each other with foreheads pressed against each other, holding hands and looking out, half-squatting to hug each other like a princess, hugging each other from behind...

The sunlight is gentle, the white gauze is light, and the gentle sun halo is a natural color filter, which perfectly interprets the beauty of the misty light and shadow. The photographer couldn't help but slow down his breathing, and finally focused the lens on a backlit picture. He felt that the two people in it deserved all the beauty in this world.

Finally, there was the evening sea view. After calculating the time, the company staff drove Kitagawa Ryo and Hoshino Ai to the shooting location. This time it was the groom's turn to wear white, because this wedding dress for the seaside was a cool purple, which showed full charm against the golden sunset and the deep blue sea. Accompanied by the sound of the waves and the evening breeze caressing the cheeks, they left two sets of closely packed footprints on the beach as they walked side by side.

The sunset at the seaside has an innate cinematic quality. Just holding hands with your loved one and standing shoulder to shoulder will create one of the best wedding photo materials.

They put their hands on each other's shoulders and kissed intimately, leaned forward to hug and whispered in each other's ears, held hands lovingly, smiled and touched noses, and finally lifted the hem of the skirt that was sprinkled with gold edges by the afterglow of the setting sun, and turned a small circle in the waves that covered their ankles with full of vitality.

"After we have finished all the follow-up work, we will package all the negatives and retouched negatives shot today, including some small highlights of the whole process, and send them to you two. If you need albums, photo frames, tables, wedding posters and electronic albums, please feel free to contact customer service. We will serve you wholeheartedly."

After all the shooting was finished, the photographer bowed to Beichuan Liang and Hoshino Ai to express his gratitude, then stood up, smiled brightly, and spoke in a brisk tone:

"Okay, now that I have finished the company's formalities, what follows is my personal blessing."

"Mr. Kitagawa, Ms. Hoshino, I sincerely hope and believe that you will be the happiest couple in the world. Happy wedding!"

Chapter 54: The flower girl is ready!

"I remember putting on this wreath at the end—"

Facing the floor-length mirror in front of her, Akane Kurokawa, who was wearing a pure white flower girl dress, was carefully putting the wreath placed aside on her head. She shook her head slightly from side to side, and after making sure it would not fall off, she put her hands down and carefully checked her whole body again, smoothing out every tiny wrinkle meticulously. She also lifted her feet slightly and knocked on her small leather shoes to make sure they fit perfectly.

Generally speaking, the attire of the flower girls at a wedding corresponds to the attire of the newlyweds and the style of the scene's decoration. Boys match the groom, and girls match the bride. Because the two flower girls chosen for Kitagawa Ryo and Hoshino Ai's wedding were both girls, the wedding company decided on the flower girl dresses of Kurokawa Akane and Arima Kana based on the style of the main veil that Hoshino Ai wore on the wedding day, and gave four options: light pink, light blue, light purple, and pure white.

After sending the preview picture to the two, Kurokawa Akane finally chose pure white, while Arima Kana chose light pink. The reason why they are all light colors is because the main dress of Hoshino Ai on the wedding day was pure white, so as to avoid the consequence of overshadowing the main color.

After deciding on the style of the flower girl's dress, the next step is to try it on and rehearse. This is a very important part of the wedding, and because flower girls are basically children, in order to prevent accidents on the wedding day and to help the flower girls avoid being nervous and become familiar with what they are supposed to do, it is customary to rehearse the flower girls for a period of time before the wedding. For example, the rhythm and speed of throwing petals and holding up the tail of the bride's wedding dress requires a certain coordination with the bride herself.

Today, Akane Kurokawa and Kana Arima were invited here together for this matter.

She bent down slightly to pull up her white socks, and Kurokawa Akane patiently and carefully smoothed the sock openings, wrapping her ankles and half of her white calves tightly. She then pressed down the hem of her skirt and suddenly felt inexplicably shy.

In order to facilitate movement, unlike the long veil trailing behind the bride's wedding dress, the hems of the flower girl's dresses are not too long, just reaching above the knees. However, this is not the reason why Kurokawa Akane feels embarrassed. After all, such a hem length is completely normal, and the little dress she wore when she played Matilda was almost the same length.

"I knew you would choose pure white. After all, the main dress of Sister Ai's outfit is pure white."

Another person's figure suddenly appeared in the mirror. It was another flower girl at the wedding, Arimakane. She had also changed into a flower girl dress and walked slowly behind Kurokawa Akane. While taking care of herself in front of the mirror, she spoke in a long-expected, slightly teasing tone.

The flower girl's dress was originally designed to be consistent with the style of the bride's wedding dress, and the color was the same pure white. At first glance, Kurokawa Akane looked like she was wearing a smaller version of a wedding dress.

After Arima Kana revealed her vague thoughts, Kurokawa Akane's eyes widened immediately. But before she could open her mouth to refute, Arima Kana smiled and said:

"You've been doing pretty well lately. Matilda is pretty successful, right? I've seen reports about it. Many people can't wait to give you the title of 'genius'."

"...You too, the new drama is set to premiere in less than a month, and you can see all kinds of promotions all over the streets right now."

"I say, don't be so tense. The shy look on Akane's face just now was actually quite adorable."

She was completely unable to withstand Magana's teasing. They were obviously children of the same age, but every time they were alone with each other, Kurokawa Akane always had an inexplicable sense of danger in her heart, as if she was facing a natural enemy. She subconsciously took two steps back and said in a very unconfident manner:

"I, I'll go out first. Sister Ai is still waiting outside. You should hurry up too."

After escaping from the fitting room in a somewhat embarrassed manner, Akane Kurokawa just walked out of the door and saw Hoshino Ai standing quietly in the middle of the room, wearing a full set of main veil. Different from the slightly eccentric style that she usually saw in the LALALAI troupe, the layers of veil naturally shrouded her in a hazy meaning, and the long tail veil showed a graceful temperament, which even made Akane Kurokawa subconsciously hold her breath when she saw it for the first time.

"Xiao Qian is out? This outfit is quite cute - ah, if it weren't inconvenient for me now, I would definitely run over to your side to touch and take a good look at it."

Although once I opened my mouth I destroyed a lot of the atmosphere and feeling.

After secretly complaining in her heart, Kurokawa Akane took the initiative to jog in front of Hoshino Ai so that Hoshino Ai could see clearly.

"The wreath is a little crooked."

Seeing this, Hoshino Ai smiled and bent down slightly to help adjust the position of the wreath on Kurokawa Akane's head. With this movement, her round and upright breasts drew a perfect arc in front of Kurokawa Akane's eyes, making her subconsciously lower her head, only to see the round toes of the small leather shoes on her feet.

"Speaking of which, Xiao Qian, do you want to walk in front and scatter flowers, or trail behind with your skirt?"

"——I, I can do anything. Let's discuss and decide together after Kana comes out."

Akane Kurokawa was stunned for a long time before she came to her senses and answered haltingly.

"Alright."

Hoshino Ai nodded when she heard this. Just then, Arima Kana also came out of the fitting room and greeted Hoshino Ai with a smile:

"Sister Ai is simply the most beautiful bride I have ever seen. Senior Liang is so lucky to marry a beautiful bride like Sister Ai."

As she spoke, Arima Kana walked up to Hoshino Ai and winked at her playfully:

"Thank you, Sister Ai, for advertising me on your show. I downloaded that episode of "B Komachi x B Komachi" to my phone and I watch it whenever I have time."

Akane Kurokawa looked at Kana Arima, who was talking and laughing intimately with Ai Hoshino, and was a little dazed for a moment, wondering when these two people became so close.

But after a while, Hoshino Ai's question brought her thoughts back:

"Xiao Qian, Kana said she wants to be the flower girl who throws flowers in front, what do you think?"

"Okay, I'm fine with anything. Since Kana took the initiative to say it, I'll just hold up Ai's skirt."

Akane Kurokawa didn't care about these two tasks, so she nodded in agreement.

"Now that we've decided, let's just practice briefly. Kana's flower basket is on the table over there. As for Akane, I'll have the staff come in and teach you."

After assigning the duties of the flower girls, Hoshino Ai also carried out the arrangements in an orderly manner. Arima Kana followed the direction of her finger, stepped forward, picked up the flower basket filled with various petals, and looked inside curiously.

Peach pink peonies, white dahlias, yellow hyacinths, cream garden roses, as well as lilacs, white citrus, lavender and fresh mint, are like a small garden, with petals of various colors and fragrance crowded together, exuding a mixed aroma.

On the other side, under the guidance of the staff, Kurokawa Akane also lifted up the long veil behind Hoshino Ai and stood there quietly, not knowing what she was thinking.

As the staff shouted "one, two, one", Kana Arima stood in front of Hoshino Ai and walked slowly forward. She reached into the flower basket with her right hand and was about to take out the petals and scatter them, but she immediately heard the instructions of another staff member:

"The flower girl standing in front should pay attention. When the bride walks down the aisle at the wedding, the flower girl should stand outside the red carpet to scatter flowers, that is, in front of the bride. If you walk in front of the bride like this, you will block the photographer. When scattering petals, you should also pay attention that your body and even your arms cannot occupy the space on the red carpet. If you regard the red carpet as a wall, it should be clear."

So, as Akane Kurokawa was struggling to hold back her laughter, Kana Arima reluctantly gave up that rather intimidating position and walked to the side of Hoshino Ai.

Forced to put away all her little thoughts, Arima Kana lowered her eyes as she looked at the dazzling and stunning Hoshino Ai who was walking slowly in the rain of flowers.

At least in this wedding, everyone can only serve as her foil.

Chapter 5: Deadlock (5k)

While Hoshino Ai and her two flower girls, Kurokawa Akane and Arima Kana, were rehearsing for the wedding day in advance, Kitagawa Ryo was handwriting wedding invitations at home.
