They all pushed me!

"I like everything my brother gives me."

Ignoring Hoshino Ai who was standing aside and watching the interaction between the brother and sister with a smile, Kitagawa Rumi suddenly stood on tiptoe, leaned forward and gently pecked her brother's cheek, as if to express her gratitude.

God wants people to do everything in moderation.

Because people's thinking can never go beyond the present.

Because things in the past are always magnified.

Therefore, human desires are always unlimited.

That's why the so-called jealousy arises.

Chapter 5: Just Sleeping in Your Arms (5k)

"What are you doing?"

On the evening after finishing the rehearsal of "Oedipus Rex", Kitagawa Ryo had just finished taking a shower at home. While wiping his slightly wet hair with a dry towel, he opened his mobile phone and immediately saw a two-minute message from Hoshino Ai.

"I just took a shower and was going to read a book before going to bed."

"Where's Ruby?"

"I'm already asleep. After all, it's almost ten o'clock. It's not good for children to sleep too late."

Every two nights, Beichuan Liang would go to his sister's room to check if she was pretending to be asleep but was actually hiding under the covers and playing with her phone.

After being reminded by Hoshino Ai, Kitagawa Ryo pushed open his sister's door quietly. After confirming that Rumi was asleep with the orange bear doll in her arms, he helped her to hold the corner of the quilt, then carefully left the room and closed the door.

Because he had already checked the inside of the orange bear and confirmed that there was nothing inside, just as Kitagawa Ryo had expected at the beginning, a few days later, the sister who had gotten used to sleeping with the bear in her arms asked for the doll back.

"Ryo, do you ever feel that Ruby is too clingy to you sometimes?"

Just after Kitagawa Ryo walked back to the living room, Hoshino Ai suddenly sent a text message that looked a little strange.

"It's normal for children to be clingy. Girls won't be like this as they grow up. After all, Ruby has always lived with me alone."

Beichuan Liang sat on the sofa in the living room. He reached out and took a glass bottle filled with colorful hand-folded paper cranes on the coffee table in the living room. He shook it gently, and they rustled in his ears.

Then, he thought of what happened in the theater today, and with a smile on his face, he edited another text message and sent it:

"Isn't love jealous of a nine-year-old child?"

After sending this text message, there was no reply for several minutes. Beichuan Ryo put the phone aside, took out several history books that he had planned to read from the bookshelf in the living room, placed them on the coffee table in the living room, and then crossed his legs and leisurely prepared to start reading.

As he grew older, he has received several invitations to act in Taiga dramas that are being planned. His role is no longer just a supporting role as before, but he can now play the leading role.

A few minutes later, just as Beichuan Liang was gradually immersed in the contents of the book, he suddenly heard his phone vibrate. It turned out that Hoshino Ai had replied to his message, but it was only two simple words:

"Open the door."

Putting down the book in his hand a little helplessly, Kitagawa Ryo walked over in slippers to open the door, and it was indeed Hoshino Ai standing at the door.

Ever since the incident involving Hoshino Ai's mother and Rina Ichisuki's stalker fan, Kitagawa Ryo asked Mr. Izaki to find an apartment in a residential complex with better security. Just as he had said to Hoshino Ai at the beginning, he also reserved a new house specifically for Ai.

In other words, although the two are not neighbors now, they are also household owners living in the same community.

After Beichuan Liang opened the door, Hoshino Ai subconsciously planned to push the door open, but as soon as she stretched out her hand, she felt a resistance and pouted a little dissatisfiedly and said:

"Liang, quickly remove the anti-theft chain."

Mr. Izaki, who decorated the two new houses, paid special attention to security details. Not only the basic but extremely strong anti-theft chains, but also equipment such as indoor monitoring and automatic alarms are all available.

"Don't use such a nonchalant tone. If you love living alone, you should pay more attention to these things."

Beichuan Liang took out the key to unlock the security chain while speaking seriously.

After the two of them moved into their new home, he went to visit Hoshino Ai, but found that she had no awareness of this at all, so he had to ask her every now and then.

Although he is an adult who is almost 21, he always behaves like a child in some aspects. It even seems that he enjoys this cat-and-mouse game. He is exactly the same as his sister Kitagawa Rumi, who needs him to make surprise checks every time to see if she is playing with her mobile phone secretly.

After unfastening the security chain, Kitagawa Ryo was about to get a pair of slippers for Hoshino Ai from the shoe cabinet on the side. However, he realized at this moment that he had just taken all the shoes out to wash and dry them today while the weather was good, and all the indoor shoes should still be on the balcony.

"I'll get my shoes."

Kitagawa Ryo opened his mouth to explain, and just when he turned around and was about to go to the balcony to get slippers for Hoshino Ai, he was suddenly grabbed by Hoshino Ai's arm and explained with a smile.

"No, I'm not coming in."

She said as she closed the door with her foot.

"Then you do it..."

Kitagawa Ryo turned back a little confused, but before he could finish his words, he was pressed against the wall by Hoshino Ai and forced into a corner.

Her eyelashes and nose tip were lightly touching Beichuan Liang's jaw, and the skin contact was vague. At this angle, Beichuan Liang only needed to lower his head to see the girl's amazing curves, and the white and plumpness occupied his entire field of vision in an instant.

In a flash, when Beichuan Liang came to his senses, he found that his right hand had been pressed against the wall. The back of his hand felt a slightly cold touch on the wall, but the palm of his hand was soon filled with soft warmth. The other person's slender fingers forcefully squeezed into his fingers, and the other hand touched Beichuan Liang's chest.

Hoshino Ai's eyes were full of charm. She raised her chin towards Beichuan Liang and pursed her lips. The hint of letting you pick her was self-evident:

"Of course I came here to tell you that I am indeed jealous."

Beichuan Liang glanced at his sister's room. There was no reaction from the noise here. He didn't hear Ruby's question, and he could see through the crack in the door on the ground that the light inside was not on.

“Perhaps love is more suitable for the pendant that says ‘Everything should be done in moderation’.”

After muttering this, Beichuan Ryo lowered his head.

They leaned against the shoe cabinet in the entrance hall, kissed each other on the lips, and then took each other's kiss.

"Scene 53, shot 2, action!"

With the cooperation of an excellent production team and actors with superb acting skills, the filming of "Shoplifters" has proceeded smoothly to the middle and late stages. Today, Kitagawa Ryo will face a two-person rivalry with his father played by Masaya Nakayama.

This is a plot that happened before Mr. Number Four, but because Kitagawa Ryo was in such good shape in the previous few days, director Hirokazu Koreeda moved up the shooting of that scene.

The character he plays, Yusuke, is a somewhat isolated figure in the entire family, and the only person he is familiar with and close to is his grandmother.

In other words, Yusuke only lives with his grandmother, and because his grandmother adopted all the other people, he lives here with everyone else.

On a hot summer day, only the father Osamu and Yusuke, played by Masaya Nakayama, were left at home. The father, who hoped that his adopted "son" Shota would call him "Dad" in person, saw a father and son playing a football game outside the window, and on a whim, he found a plastic bag, blew it up, and started kicking the bulging plastic bag in the living room.

"childish."

Yusuke, who was lying in the living room to cool off, glanced at Zhi who was playing with such crude toys that even children would disdain, and made a casual comment.

"Go aside."

My father, who was lying on the other side of the living room holding a plastic bag, responded calmly.

Perhaps because Tokyo is really hot in the summer, Yusuke turned his head towards Zhi and asked with interest:

"Hey, when did you and Nobuyo (mother) go to bed?"

For Yusuke, who works in a brothel, sex is a topic as common as eating and drinking.

"Well...we don't do that kind of thing very often now."

"really?"

Yusuke looked at Zhi meaningfully, and he confirmed with a chuckle.

As if he felt that he was being looked down upon, and as if he wanted to educate the younger generation in the family as an elder, the father patted his chest first:

“We’ve always been connected by this.”

Then he raised one of his legs and pointed to his lower body:

“It’s not like this is used.”

Yusuke laughed at his father's answer. He turned his head away, his tone rising but indifferent:

"Forget it—it's too fake."

"Then what do you think holds them together?"

At this time, his father asked Yusuke back.

Hirokazu Koreeda couldn't help but widen his eyes. He was looking forward to Kitagawa Ryo's interpretation of this plot.

Yusuke, who had turned away, slowly turned his head back. He stared straight into his father's eyes, his features frozen there. His black and white pupils were like two inorganic glass balls at that moment:

"money."

Then, he slowly raised the corners of his mouth, paused at an angle that seemed like a smile, and added:

"Isn't that the case for most people?"

"But we are not ordinary people."

The father suddenly laughed in relief. He stopped talking to Yusuke and lay there throwing and catching the plastic bag, as if he was imagining playing a game with his son Shota:

"Dad... isn't he handsome?"

This time, Yusuke didn't say anything like 'childish'.

The camera quickly zoomed in, giving him a close-up.

Beichuan Ryo's mouth and nose didn't move, but you could tell at a glance that he was smiling.

Because his two eyes changed from inorganic glass beads into glowing stars.

"Card!"

It was the first time that Hirokazu Koreeda called Kitagawa Ryo "NG" (not good, meaning that the actor made a mistake and did not achieve the effect the director wanted). He stroked his chin and said to Kitagawa Ryo:

"The acting is great, but this look shouldn't be what Yusuke has at this point in time. It can be shown after he meets guest number four. Yusuke now just needs to show a little change and a longing for love and being loved."

"I see."

Beichuan Liang nodded. He was indeed a little affected by what happened last night and unconsciously showed the expression just now.

The second take went smoothly.

During the intermission, Hirokazu Koreeda was chewing over with great interest the look that Kitagawa Ryo had performed the first time.

"This expression... does it mean - are you in a relationship with someone?"

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

"Card!"

Just like Kitagawa Ryo was also called NG, the filming of the crew was not always smooth sailing.

When it comes to the first emotional outburst chapter in the middle of the movie, which is also right after Yuri's hair was cut short and she changed her name to Rin, the perfectionist Hirokazu Koreeda suddenly said "NG" more often.

In order to prevent being discovered by neighbors and the police, and as if to say goodbye to the shackles of the past, after obtaining Rin's consent, mother Nobuyo personally burned the clothes that Rin was wearing when she first came to their house, and then hugged Rin and told her that real family members would not hurt her, but would only hug her tightly like this.

The one who had problems this time was Arimaka.

Hirokazu Koreeda's style for child actors is to just tell them the general plot and then let them play out, seeking out the children's natural acting skills.

So in this scene, he did not stipulate how Kana Arima should perform, because Sakura Ando, ​​who played the mother, showed amazing acting skills throughout the filming process, and Hirokazu Koreeda also believed that she could lead Kana Arima to complete a perfect performance.

But the reality is not as we wish.

Sakura Ando delicately shows the kindness and care of a mother, and her words and actions are full of extremely passionate love.

But the performance of Kana Arima, who was held in her arms and was the only other protagonist in this long shot, made Hirokazu Koreeda frown.

"Don't be so stiff, relax a little, it's past the time when Rin just came to this family, she now has a deep bond with this family and Nobuyo who is holding her."

It was a rare occasion that Hirokazu Koreeda specifically explained the play to Kana Arima.

Although he didn't directly write in the script what kind of expression and actions Rin should show at this time, it is definitely not the stiff and even confused acting shown by Magana.

"Or put yourself in their shoes and imagine yourself being held in the arms of your family, your father or your mother."

But no matter how hard director Hirokazu Edada tried, Kana's condition was always a little low, and she just had to wait until it was time to take a break.

Noticing Magana's abnormality, Beichuan Liang took the initiative to approach and asked kindly:

"What's wrong?"

"Dad and Mom are arguing at home."

Arima Kana, who was curled up in her seat with her legs curled up, seemed to have become an even smaller ball. She had no intention of hiding anything from Kitagawa Ryo and told him all the recent events at home in one breath.

Ms. Arima's personality can be said to be visibly strong, especially after Kana Arima participated in "Shoplifters", directed by the famous director Hirokazu Koreeda, which was expected to be a big hit at first glance, Ms. Arima seemed to be full of energy and had no place to put her mischievous energy.

However, because she had just been warned by Kitagawa Ryo some time ago, and now she still expects Kitagawa Ryo to continue introducing big-name jobs to her daughter, Ms. Arima did not dare to make any jokes in the circle and displease Kitagawa Ryo, so she could only focus on her family.

As a result, the relationship between the couple, which was not harmonious to begin with, became even more tense, and Arima Kana's father, who had money but felt that he had to endure bullying from his wife, was suspected of having an affair outside.

The couple has been arguing over and over again about this topic over the past two days.
