They all pushed me!

"Don't worry, Abiko. After all, this character is designed based on me. As long as I put on the character's costumes, I will be the same Shoji as in the comics. Besides, I plan to study acting after the Tokyo Dome co-performance."

"Then I'll look forward to Ruby."

Samejima Abiko curled her lips and picked up the pen again.

Of course, she did not deny that Kitagawa Rumi would not act like Meiji. After all, as she said, her shadow can be seen in the character's eyes and eyebrows.

But that kind of thing about acting.

After all, resemblance in spirit is better than resemblance in appearance.

Chapter 4: Who do you think the heroine is? (5k)

Miyazaki Prefecture, Japan.

When Arima Kana was holding a pile of clothes that she had brought back from the balcony, she folded them one by one carefully, and opened the suitcase she had brought with her to put them back, her hands suddenly paused. She stood there in a daze for a while, and then took out another new piece of clothes from the bottom of the suitcase with mixed feelings.

Arima Kana shook it up and down slightly to stretch it out, and a sweet pink lolita dress was revealed in front of her. The ruffles on the hem swayed gently in the breeze blowing from the window, as if complaining about the fact that she had kept it in the bottom of the box for so many days and had never worn it out once.

Today is the thirteenth day that the "Pest" crew has been in Miyazaki. The filming process went quite smoothly, and even exceeded the half-month estimate that Yasushi Gotanda had initially estimated. All filming tasks were completed two days ahead of schedule, and they will return to Tokyo tomorrow.

Although she had achieved unexpectedly good progress at work, for Kana Arima, this trip to Miyazaki did not fully meet her expectations. Almost nothing she had imagined happened, let alone going shopping with Kitagawa Ryo in the new date-style clothes specially picked by Rumi. After almost two weeks, she suspected that the conversations she had with him outside the filming site were not even one-tenth of the lines they had inside the filming site, and most of them were discussions about acting, scripts and roles.

Arima Kana originally wanted to drag Kurokawa Akane to attack together as a team as before, but the other party has been in the same workaholic state as Kitagawa Ryo for the past ten days. Even when he asked her to go out for a walk at night, he often started talking about the script. Arima Kana almost thought that her name was really "Natsuko" in the play.

After once again reinforcing the stereotype of experiential actors because of Akane Kurokawa, Kana Arima actually had a vague idea of ​​the reasons for the change in their mentality.

Kitagawa Ryo's psychological activity is nothing more than "a harmonious family brings prosperity". It is quite normal for him to refocus on his career and his pursuit as an actor after solving the problems of the two at home. After all, before getting married, Hoshino Ai had the idea that he could take on fewer jobs after marriage and gradually fade out of the circle. As a newlywed with financial freedom in his life, even in such a big background, Kitagawa Ryo has not really taken fewer roles in the past two years.

Although Kitagawa Ryo commented that he is a real actor in his soul, Arima Kana herself would rather attribute this comment to him. After all, she has never seen a male actor in the industry in his early twenties who drastically changed his previous image for his next movie shortly after getting married.

In Kana Arima's opinion, the "Tokyo Tower" starring Kitagawa Ryo a few years ago should actually occupy the same position in his acting career as "He Once Lived", or even higher.

Because in a sense, Kitagawa Ryo sent a message to other people in the industry through his performance in this movie, that is, marriage does not actually affect his mentality and acting skills. After all, in order to star in "Tokyo Tower", Kitagawa Ryo grew a beard and long hair, and even spent a long time studying the techniques and skills of smoking. Although he rarely touched cigarettes after the filming of that movie, this actually shows his dedication and professionalism as an actor.

Unlike Akane Kurokawa, who joined the agency later and only officially co-starred with Kitagawa Ryo on the screen last year, Kana Arima actually first came into contact with Kitagawa Ryo as an actor, as she had starred with him in "Spider" when they were three or four years old, and had been Kitagawa's direct junior since then.

If we go back further, when she was still a toddler, her mother had already been continuously playing clips of Kitagawa Ryo's performances in front of her for the so-called "early childhood education". However, what Arimakana didn't know was that her mother had already taken her to the LALALAI Theater to conduct even more incredible "prenatal education" when she was pregnant.

From this perspective, she knew Beichuan Ryo quite early.

Anyway, even if "Spider" is taken as the starting point, it is earlier than Kurokawa Akane.

Frankly speaking, for a long time, Arimaka had never heard of the other party's name. Even in the audition for "Shoplifters" that had always bothered Kurokawa Akane, she just defeated all her competitors once again in a mediocre manner.

But Kana Arima also acknowledged the other's growth and progress over the years. As time went by, she actually increasingly recognized what Kitagawa Ryo had said to them: "Akaon and Kana will become the best actresses in the future." This is also the most critical reason why she and Kurokawa Akane can market their personalities so deeply, because this is originally a nine-truth and one-false thing. As an actor, she and Kurokawa Akane actually have such a relationship:

They compete with each other and improve together. Their acting teacher is Ryo Kitagawa.

The relationship between the two in private is also highly similar.

They compete with each other but also stick together, and the person they like is also Beichuan Liang.

After all, ever since they witnessed that scene together in Miyazaki by chance, their destinies have been intricately intertwined.

That's why Magana was able to vaguely sense why Kurokawa Akane seemed like a different person in the past two weeks. Although Kurokawa Akane, like her, was indeed a child who loved and was obsessed with acting, this could not fully explain the other party's behavior of throwing the task of sticking behind his mind after hearing Kitagawa Ryo's true words on the first day of filming.

It was obvious that when you were choosing and trying on clothes before coming here, she smiled happier than you did. After all, Kitagawa Rumi is still your good friend.

After careful observation and indirect questioning during this period, Arima Kana boldly made her own speculation, that is, Kurokawa Akane and Kitagawa Ryo might have reached some secret agreement that she didn't know about. She herself had seen Ryo's ability to coax people. Whether it was Kitagawa Rumi, who seemed to have completely turned evil and half-forced a kiss on him, or love, whose incident should have been completely turned over and there was no sign of an explosion so far, they were all resolved with ease by the other party.

Of course, although she maintained a fairly clear mind and thinking when analyzing the problem, Arikana herself had no doubt that if the other party came up with some kind of agreement to coax her, she would probably have her brain freeze and surrender on the spot.

Arima Kana slowly lay back on the soft big bed, and the pink Lolita dress in her hand spread out on her body. The similar color reminded her of a flower girl dress that was still in her closet at home and could no longer be worn.

It was already the beginning of June, and her birthday was at the end of this month.

At Kitagawa Ryo's wedding, Arimakana once asked for a handmade birthday cake that had been made for ten years as a return gift. This year is the fifth one, and before she knew it, she had already used up half of it.

When Kitagawa Ryo was a child, she once said that she didn't want to see Kana Arima, as an actress, fall to the point where she would desperately care about the gaze of even just one person and perform with people who didn't understand acting at all. But this is a world line that will never happen. She has never fallen to such a state.

On the contrary, she would be more afraid of being ignored by him and having almost no contact with him. It's like she wanted to grow up quickly before, so she always acted too mature, too steady and polite in front of him. But now she doesn't want time to pass too quickly, so she wants to say and do things in front of him more cunningly, livelier and more willful like a child.

Although he had such random thoughts, Arima Kana's mind finally came to the same conclusion:

Um...what about me?

Come and comfort me too.

But she can be easily cheered up.

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

After finishing the filming in Miyazaki, Kitagawa Ryo followed the crew back to Tokyo. Since he came back early, he wanted to give his family a surprise. He did not tell Rumi and Ai that he had finished the filming. He took the local specialties that he asked Amemiya Goro to purchase and returned home quietly while concealing his whereabouts.

As a result, he ran into Kitagawa Rumi, who seemed to have just left Kitagawa's house. After a few surprised glances at each other, Rumi finally reacted belatedly, jumped up and took the luggage from Kitagawa Ryo, and asked with some surprise:

"Brother, did you finish the filming ahead of time? You came back so early."

"Well, I was planning on giving you guys a surprise. Where are you going, Ruby?"

Facing Beichuan Liang's question, Rumi suddenly fell silent for a while, and her steps paused slightly. After hesitating for a while, she smiled again:

"Go to the hospital, because my sister is there now."

Before Beichuan Liang could ask, Rumi immediately added:

"My sister seems to be pregnant. She is now undergoing further tests to confirm it. She originally planned to tell my brother after it was officially confirmed. After all, it would be bad to be happy in vain. After all, she thought my brother was still filming in Miyazaki. Since my brother has returned early, let's go over there quickly."

"It's my brother who should be there to accompany me at this time."

Before Rumi finished her words, Beichuan Liang had already hurriedly gotten into the car that was still parked on the side of the road, and fastened his seat belt in a panic, his voice trembling a little:

"In which hospital?"

After learning the name and location of the hospital from his sister, Kitagawa Ryo barely suppressed his agitated emotions, stuck his head out of the car window, and said to Rumi apologetically:

"Please take these things back first, Ruby. I'll be there right away."

Then, he added with a smile:

"Did you receive the gift I sent to Ruby a few days ago? Those are things that Goro has been keeping for you until now. They are all old items from more than ten or twenty years ago."

"Yeah, and I also saw the words my brother left for me inside."

As if she was a little surprised that Beichuan Liang didn't drive away immediately, Beichuan Rumi carefully moved closer to the car window, reached out to push back the strands of hair that had fallen down because of lowering her head, and replied with a smile:

"I love Ryo just as deeply."

Feeling that Rumi's gaze suddenly softened, Kitagawa Ryo reached out and gently held the other's hand that was resting on the window sill. He spoke in a gentle voice, but did not repeat what he had written at that time. Instead, he spoke in a more direct and even bold way:

"Ruby and I will have children in the future."

"Ah."

The super high school level coaxing ability certified by Arima Kana was used again, and Kitagawa Rumi nodded obediently and took two steps back:

"Brother, please go over there quickly."

After watching Kitagawa Ryo's car drive away, Kitagawa Rumi stood there for a while, until the other person's figure completely disappeared from her sight, then she slowly moved the specialties and gifts into the living room of the Kitagawa family, then locked the door again and left.

Perhaps because of what Kitagawa Ryo said just now, or perhaps she wanted to add some kind of blessing buff to herself, before leaving Kitagawa's house, Kitagawa Rumi picked up Hotaru who was dozing off in the courtyard, buried her face in her back, and deeply absorbed the cat energy for a while, and finally put Hotaru down again in the other's confused eyes.

At this moment when Kitagawa Ryo, who had just returned from Miyazaki, was rushing to the hospital in a hurry, she chose to go to the opposite destination. Without telling anyone including Saito Kyoko, she boarded the flight to Miyazaki alone, and went straight to Arata Shrine after landing.

The last time she came to Miyazaki to shoot a MV, she met a little girl who called herself a god. She tempted her in her ear with words that only she could hear, saying that she had the ability to replace or even extract the souls of babies, and even said that as long as Rumi was willing, she could easily help.

Although Kitagawa Rumi had scoffed at this idea at first and had no intention of agreeing to it, when Ai became pregnant, she suddenly began to worry, and even to be afraid.

She didn't want or desire anything to go wrong with this pregnancy. The jealousy that did exist in the past had long since disappeared into the past. Everything now was the best outcome her brother had gotten for her.

Kitagawa Rumi walked into the shrine step by step, and made a new wish seriously and devoutly. She clasped her hands together, closed her eyes, and silently recited her wish in her heart.

"Oh, it's you. Long time no see."

Then, she heard the familiar voice again.

"I didn't expect that after such a long time, I would finally make such a wish... But in fact, you shouldn't have worried from the beginning. After all, I never had any ill intentions. I am just a gentle god who guides you to the right destiny. Otherwise, I would not have let you reincarnate in the first place."

"And to be honest, I can't do this at all. I was just kidding you. After all, you have another god who can transfer the memories and souls of the dead into babies. I don't want to do something that will definitely anger him and won't be fun."

There was still a hint of teasing in the god's voice, but Kitagawa Rumi opened her eyes wide in surprise, and suddenly discovered a problem in the other party's speech that she had never noticed before.

If she was reincarnated by this god, then who was her brother who was also reincarnated?

"Alright, alright, make your wish and leave quickly."

As if she was dissatisfied with Kitagawa Rumi's daze, she immediately heard the other party's urging voice in her ears.

"I understand. I will come back to fulfill your wish when the baby is born safely."

"…Is it possible that this is a shrine dedicated to the god of performing arts?"

Amid the other party's somewhat speechless complaints in the background, Kitagawa Rumi walked down the stairs briskly, quickly left the shrine, and her mood became cheerful again.

Why must she dwell on the question of who was reincarnated as her brother? She should be thankful to the kind-hearted god for allowing the two of them to meet.

"Meow--"

Ying turned over lazily again, feeling that the afternoon sun was particularly warm.

Chapter 60: New Name

After struggling for a long time on the line of speeding violation, Kitagawa Ryocai finally drove to the hospital address that Rumi told him. Fortunately, he did not catch the evening rush hour this time, which saved him the effort of running for his life in a Japanese drama.

After hastily putting on the hat and mask that had been prepared in the car, he hurriedly walked into the Tokyo Medical University Hospital with his head slightly lowered. This is one of the few top hospitals in Tokyo and even in the whole country, and it is also an affiliated hospital of Tokyo Medical University, Goro Amemiya's alma mater.

While waiting for the traffic light on the road, Kitagawa Ryo also sent a message to Ai, informing him that he had returned to Tokyo, had learned about this from Rumi, and was preparing to go to the hospital to find her. The other party replied very quickly, saying that Saito Kyoko was with her. At the same time, she carefully reminded him not to worry too much and not to drive too fast.

Beichuan Liang walked through the atrium and the hall without stopping. The unique smell of disinfectant in the hospital soothed his inner emotions little by little. In addition, most of the people in the corridor of the obstetrics and gynecology department were pregnant women who were supported by others. His pace slowed down inadvertently, and he walked through the crowd carefully. Just after turning a corner, he saw a familiar figure sitting on a bench by the road, who seemed to be reading a report.

Resisting the urge to call out the other person's name in public, Beichuan Liang took two quick steps forward and sat down next to Ai quietly. He lowered his voice like a thief, and his eyes were also glancing at the piece of paper in the other person's hand:

"Here I come, love."

Ai didn't wear a hat, but the mask she used to cover her face was still tight. However, compared with the pure white simple one worn by Beichuan Liang, hers was a light pink tone, and there was a little rabbit pattern in the lower right corner.

After hearing Beichuan Liang's voice, Ai also reacted immediately. She quietly raised her eyes in the direction of Beichuan Liang, and unconsciously moved closer to him. With one hand, she gently pulled down the mask on her face halfway, and the exposed lips immediately pressed against Liang's ear. Her warm breath and words were mixed with an unconcealable throbbing:

"Liang, we are going to have a baby."

Then, she stuffed all the various films and examination reports in her hands into Beichuan Liang's arms, leaned half of her body on him, closed her eyes and hummed softly, looking like she was in a very good mood.

Just as Kitagawa Ryo was carefully reading through these, Saito Kyoko came back with two cups of hot water. She was slightly startled when she saw Kitagawa Ryo, but she quickly came to her senses and handed the two cups of water to each of them with a smile:

"It came pretty quickly."

"It just so happened that the filming ended smoothly ahead of schedule, but I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence."

Beichuan Liang took the initiative to reach out and take the two cups of hot water. He took a sip and confirmed that the temperature was not too hot before handing it back to Ai. He then turned around and thanked her:

"Please Kyoko, come with Ai today."

"We are one family and we should keep our differences separate, especially when it comes to such an important matter."

Saito Kyoko also shook her head when she heard this, and glanced at Beichuan Liang again, holding her chin and speaking:

"Ai originally said not to tell you right away, fearing that it would affect the filming of your new drama. I didn't expect Liang to come back just on that day. It's really romantic."

After saying this, Saito Kyoko started to make a suggestion again:

"Okay, it's not convenient to talk here. We have just finished all the examinations, so let's go back and talk slowly. Now that it has been confirmed, the relevant preparations can officially begin."

"Well, Kyoko, don't worry about that."

Kitagawa Ryo and Ai looked at each other tacitly and nodded at the same time. As early as when they were filming the special episode of "It's Not My Fault That I'm Popular", they had already learned a lot of knowledge in this area. After all, the plot of the three episodes of the special episode was related to pregnancy preparation, pregnancy, childbirth and parenting.

Looking at the couple in front of her who showed no sign of confusion or anxiety at all, Kyoko Saito nodded with relief, picked up her handbag on the seat, and left with them.

When the three of them walked out of the hospital again and entered the parking lot to find their own cars, she waved at the two of them again and smiled gently:

"Call me if you need anything... I'm going back to the company first. After all, today is still a working day and there are still many things that have not been dealt with."

"Don't worry, I won't be polite to Kyoko then."

Ai smiled and waved goodbye to Kyoko Saito. There was only one week left for ACE's Tokyo Dome performance. As ACE's agent, Kyoko Saito had been working overtime during this period, coordinating all aspects of the performance very rigorously to ensure that the performance could go on smoothly.

"It's been really hard for you during this period, Kyoko, but it should be much better after this."

Beichuan Liang also took a step forward and spoke sincerely.

"As for Kyoko and Ichigo, they can actually consider this aspect as well."

Kyoko Saito naturally understood what the other party meant. After all, after ACE's performance at the Tokyo Dome, group members Kitagawa Rumi and MEM啾 will slowly shift their energy and work focus to aspects other than idols. At the very least, MEM啾's related affairs company will appoint another agent to take over, and the burden on her will naturally be much lighter.

"This kind of thing always depends on fate, but I'll lend you my good wishes."
