They all pushed me!

"How old are you? Thirty-two... thirty-three... or thirty-four? Or forty-four? Just asking, it doesn't really matter."

"Yelena Sergeyevna, I am now formally proposing to you. Of course, the prerequisite is that you have to give us the key first. Oh? I didn't hear you? Do you agree? Why is it that there is no joy and excitement on your face that a fiancée should have?"

He held out his hand, gracefully like a gentleman proposing to his beloved.

"Make up your mind, Elena Sergeyevna, I will not let you down."

Kyoko Saito couldn't help but be fascinated by the show. Just as she was nervously looking forward to the development of the plot, she suddenly heard a "hmmmm" response.

Huh? Is this how it's going to develop?

After her brain crashed for a moment, Saito Kyoko realized that it was not the actors on the stage who were speaking the lines, but Kitagawa Rumi, whom she was holding, who was nodding continuously:

"Hmm."

This should also be considered as being shocked by Liang's performance?

Kyoko Saito tilted her head slightly, but Ichigo Saito beside her clenched his fists nervously, because the plot on the stage had gradually reached the last scene, and Lala, played by Hoshino Ai, appeared in the spotlight again.

Then, Beichuan Ryo pressed him forcefully onto the folding chair.

Kitagawa Rumi's eyes widened.

"S'il vous pla?t, Madame. (Please, ma'am)"

His left hand rested on her shoulder and his right hand was on her waist.

Kitagawa Rumi leaned forward.

"Lara, now you know what I want from you, right? Take off your clothes."

As he spoke, his right hand, which was originally on the other person's waist, slowly moved down and pinched the girl's snow-white stockings.

Kitagawa Rumi wrinkled her small nose.

"Come on, your coat, your stockings and... hm?"

He put his fingers in, then used force to tear apart a part of the stockings, and the pure white silk floss fell in his hands.

Kitagawa Rumi felt like her heart had risen to her throat.

Knowing clearly that nothing will happen.

But it's Kitagawa Ryo's acting that makes people feel that it will happen soon.

It just happened to be... my brother’s acting skills.

At this moment when everyone's attention was taken away by Kitagawa Ryo on the stage, Saito Ichigo still kept his eyes on Hoshino Ai.

Even now, he still firmly believes in the other party's abilities.

Just like when he first met her in front of Starbucks, he decided to create an idol team with her as the absolute center.

The bound girl began to make futile requests for help.

First to his former lover, but now to Basha who allows the violence.

Then:

"Mother--"

On a stage filled with all kinds of noise, her voice was incredibly clear and reached the hearts of most of the audience.

Sometimes, the sublimation of a character only requires one word, one action or even one look.

Saito Ichigo could feel the changes around him. He was surrounded by reporters from various newspapers and magazines. They were all here to report on Kitagawa Ryo's new play. They also came here hoping to get a chance for an exclusive interview.

But now, I can vaguely hear them whispering to each other, saying things like "This girl's acting is quite impressive", "I don't think I've heard much about her before", "If we can't get an interview with Kitagawa Ryo, why not try to interview her after the show is over" and so on.

He heaved a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on the corner of Saito Ichigo's mouth. He looked at Saito Kyoko beside him as if he was eager to share this good mood.

Then he noticed the little child held in his wife's arms.

The momentum that it had at the beginning was completely gone, like a balloon that was inflated high and suddenly had a hole poked in it.

However, the balloon could still fly in the wind for a while before turning into a piece of rag and falling to the ground, but Kitagawa Rumi could only curl up in Saito Kyoko's arms.

"The kids must be tired after the novelty wears off."

Without giving it much thought, Saito Ichigo quickly looked away. He was already eager to use this traffic to push B Komachi to a new height.

When he thought of this, he couldn't help laughing out loud again.

Kitagawa Rumi buried her head between her knees.

She just felt that the uncle sitting next to her——

very noisy.

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

As expected, "Youth Forbidden Game" received widespread acclaim and was soon hailed as a good work worth watching that "even those who don't understand drama can enjoy watching it."

In addition to praising Kitagawa Ryo, many newspapers also took the initiative to mention the acting skills of the "new actor" Hoshino Ai.

Especially the line "Mom——", which was praised by professional critics as "like a tremor coming from the soul".

The president of Berry Pro, Saito Ichito, also followed suit, and the popularity of B Komachi, or the idol group B Komachi with Hoshino Ai as the absolute C position, ushered in a second wave of rapid growth.

After nearly a month of intensive work at both the troupe and the agency, all performances of "Youth Forbidden Game" finally ended, and Hoshino Ai was able to take a breath.

“I’m so tired—ah!”

Burying her whole body in the soft sofa, Hoshino Ai held up the [Orange Bear] in her right hand and complained loudly to the ceiling.

"Come to think of it, why is there no Strawberry Bunny in Liang's refrigerator? There are only Orange Bears and Watermelon Kittens."

"Ruby bought them all. She probably doesn't like the taste."

Beichuan Liang walked out of the room with a tall stack of books in his hands.

"By the way, where's Ruby?"

"I went to kindergarten, what's wrong?"

"I see."

Hoshino Ai moved towards Kitagawa Ryo with a smile.

"It's so hot when you get close."

With some disgust, Kitagawa Ryo pushed Hoshino Ai's thigh back with his foot, took out the top book from the ones he brought, and opened a page.

"What is Ryo looking at?"

Coming closer like a curious baby, Hoshino Ai lay behind Kitagawa Ryo and looked at the book in his hand with great interest.

“Some historiography and literature.”

Beichuan Ryo continued to turn the pages indifferently.

"Mr. Izaki got me a new play."

"NHK TV's Taiga drama for next year."

"Whoa whoa."

Hoshino Ai sighed inexplicably, shaking Kitagawa Ryo's shoulders and asking:

"Is it the costume drama that airs every week?"

"Period drama is just a type of Taiga drama."

Feeling like he couldn't read properly, Kitagawa Ryo simply closed the book, raised his head and introduced Hoshino Ai:

"You can think of it as a large-scale TV drama based on the characters and stories of the Warring States period and the end of the shogunate."

"The meaning of Taiga comes from the French word roman-fleuve, which roughly means that history is like a torrent. Taiga dramas are basically based on the fate and rise and fall of a person or a family to reflect the style of that era."

"Uh... I don't understand."

Hoshino Ai scratched her head. For a primary school dropout, the two terms "Warring States Period" and "The End of the Edo period" alone were beyond her knowledge.

"But I know this drama is amazing! The ratings are very high."

"That's true."

Kitagawa Ryo nodded. Although Taiga dramas have been relatively unpopular in the past two years, they can basically get a viewership rate of more than 10%. Moreover, unlike ordinary TV dramas, Taiga dramas are more like so-called serious dramas, and often they can even get subsidies and support from official agencies such as the Cultural Bureau and Tourism Bureau.

Therefore, compared to popularity, the selection of actors in Taiga dramas often focuses more on their acting skills.

Actors like Kitagawa Ryo, who have both popularity and acting skills, naturally become popular in the eyes of directors.

However, due to his young age, Beichuan Liang can usually only play roles with not many lines. Several directors and producers have patted him on the shoulder to express their regret.

It seems that everyone wants him to grow up faster than Kitagawa Ryo himself.

"It would be best if Ai could read more books. Maybe she'll have a chance to act in a Taiga drama in the future."

Kitagawa Ryo glanced at Hoshino Ai and gave a serious suggestion.

Although he gave Hoshino Ai two years of cultural lessons, they were basically focused on drama.

In recent years, many Taiga dramas with female protagonists have gradually emerged, such as "E: The Warring States Period of Princesses".

"If Liang says so, then I'll try my best too."

Hoshino Ai nodded, and she casually took away two books from Beichuan Liang's desk:

"Then I'll borrow two books from Liang first."

"Well, remember to return it to me after you finish reading it."

Beichuan Liang didn't pay attention to which two books the other party took away. He leaned back on the sofa, opened the book, and soon immersed himself in it.

What he didn't know was that one of the two books that Hoshino Ai took away was called "The Tale of Genji".

As a novel written by Murasaki Shikibu, a female writer in the Heian period of Japan, The Tale of Genji is set against the backdrop of the heyday of the Heian Dynasty in Japan and describes the life experiences and love stories of the protagonist Genji.

But in the whole story, the most well-known is actually a somewhat morbid plot.

Cultivate the younger person you like step by step into the "ideal image" in your mind, and then marry him or her.

This is the so-called Genji Plan.

Chapter 25: A movie for three people

Miyazaki Prefecture.

After a whole day's work, Goro Amamiya yawned and stretched on his way home.

After the movie "He Used to Live", which was mainly filmed in Miyazaki Prefecture more than three years ago, reaped high box office revenue in China, many domestic and foreign movie fans have come here for the so-called "pilgrimage" in the following days.

Especially as the popularity of the lead actor Kitagawa Ryo has continued to rise in the past two years, this work, which is considered to be a transitional work in his acting career, is still gaining popularity three years after its release.

Because he made a cameo appearance in the movie as a warm-hearted young doctor, Goro Amemiya, who was only an intern at Miyazaki Prefectural Hospital at the time, also gained considerable attention due to the popularity of the movie, and even an agency tried to contact him.

But in the end, Goro Amemiya still chose to stay in Miyazaki Prefecture and continued to be an ordinary doctor. Thanks to the promise made by the dean at that time, his regularization process was quite smooth and he soon became a formal obstetrician and gynecologist.

However, the only thing that made Goro Amamiya feel a little distressed was that during the two years of normal work, many patients were quite fond of him, and some even asked him to be responsible for the delivery of babies.

Maybe it's just like what the nurses in the hospital often joked, because Goro Amamiya's image in the movie is so upright and kind, and they are all doctors, so as long as you have seen the movie and then meet him in person, you will naturally have a better impression of him.

However, there are also some inconveniences in Miyazaki Prefecture. For example, Goro Amemiya was unable to attend the premiere of the LALALAI Theater Company's new play "Youth Forbidden Game" last month to support it.

Although I later took advantage of my vacation to go to Tokyo and watch a subsequent performance, I still feel a little regretful.

Goro Amemiya walked slowly towards his home at the foot of the mountain. It was the house left to him by his grandparents. The two old people had passed away in the past few years, and now he lived alone.

Arriving in front of the old wooden house, Goro Amemiya took out his key and opened the door. He habitually said "I'm back", then changed his shoes and walked into the house.

Just when Goro Amemiya was about to make some food for himself as usual, he suddenly heard a knock on the door.

Because the residence is relatively remote and Goro Amamiya's social circle is not large, generally speaking, few people come here. If there are any urgent matters with patients or colleagues, they will choose to contact by phone.

With a slight doubt, Goro Amamiya agreed and walked over to open the door.

"Long time no see, Doctor Goro."

Standing outside the door was Beichuan Ryo. He slightly raised his right hand to show the beautifully packaged souvenirs he brought, and greeted with a smile.

"cold?"

"Well, it's me. Aren't you going to let me go in first?"

Goro Amemiya, who had never expected that the person coming would be Ryo Kitagawa, opened his mouth in surprise. He was stunned for a long time before he turned around as if waking up from a dream and hurriedly rummaged through the shoe cabinet to find another pair of clean slippers.

"This is my first time visiting Dr. Goro's home."
