They all pushed me!

“It feels like the second dimension!”

Hoshino Ai was the first to comment:

“It might be popular among certain groups.”

Beichuan Liang also smiled. Although he could not assert whether this method would be effective, he would be more pleased with the fact that his sister was seriously thinking and planning for the future without his knowledge.

"So what about my brother? Didn't he say he found a teammate for me as well?"

Placing the stack of drawing boards in her hand casually on the sofa in the living room, Kitagawa Rumi asked Kitagawa Ryo curiously.

"I'll let you meet in a couple of days. If it's confirmed, then debuting will definitely be on the agenda. The early promotional photo shoots and team tacit understanding training..."

"Ok?"

Kitagawa Ryo's words suddenly paused. Kitagawa Rumi, who was sitting next to her brother and listening with great interest, also hummed in confusion. She was now fascinated by the feeling of listening to Kitagawa Ryo planning a blueprint for her future. It even made her briefly think that the other party was acting only for her.

"It's nothing. I just suddenly remembered that Ruby's group hasn't been officially named yet."

Beichuan Liang frowned slightly, and glanced calmly at Hoshino Ai, who was sitting opposite him and still eating seriously.

"Brother, do you want to help get it?"

"Tsk - that won't do. This is a team of Ruby and two others. You should come up with the name of the group."

As if he thought this was a tricky problem, Beichuan Liang frowned slightly with a strange expression.

"Well, I see."

Kitagawa Rumi nodded obediently.

"I'm full, thanks for the treat."

On the other side, Hoshino Ai also put down her chopsticks contentedly.

By the way, he retracted his foot, which had been stretched out from under the table a few minutes ago and had been playing tricks between Kitagawa Ryo's legs, and put on his slippers again as if nothing had happened.

Sitting opposite is not necessarily worse than sitting next to you.

"Let me wash the dishes today."

Immediately afterwards, Hoshino Ai also waved her hand and made a speech like a hostess.

Normally, Kitagawa Rumi, who was always responsible for washing the dishes, said with some confusion:

"I'll do it. My brother always cooked before and I'll do the dishes."

"Ok?"

Facing Kitagawa Rumi's doubts, Hoshino Ai also cast a similarly doubtful look:

"Ruby, didn't you read the plot summary on the official account of "It's Not My Fault That I'm Popular" starring me and Ryo a few days ago? The character I play in it is a person who becomes a housekeeper after losing his job."

Hoshino Ai said as she counted on her fingers:

"I went to the housekeeping agency's course these past two days. Although I still don't have much confidence in cooking, I still learned a lot about washing dishes, cleaning windows, tidying up the room, and sorting garbage. This is a rare opportunity to practice."

Then, she turned to Beichuan Liang and said:

"The teachers there also taught me a lot of cleaning tips, such as using soapy water and jumper stockings to clean window screens, using white vinegar to clean faucets, using toothpaste to clean tea stains in cups, and using grapefruit peels to remove odors, etc."

"So - Ryo and Ruby should just take a good rest."

"Just think of it as training in advance for the filming of the new drama later... um."

"Well, come on."

Seeing the energetic Hoshino Ai, Kitagawa Ryoya also gave his support neatly:

"I'm going to the bathroom."

After Kitagawa Ryo got up and left, Hoshino Ai began to clean up the table quite skillfully, and it seemed that she had indeed studied this skill before.

"It seems there is no apron suitable for Sister Ai, so I'll do it."

After thinking for a while, Kitagawa Rumi finally came up with this reason and pointed to two aprons, one large and one small, hanging in the kitchen.

The former is what Kitagawa Ryo wears when she cooks, and the latter is what Kitagawa Rumi wears when she washes dishes.

No matter which one it is, it doesn't seem to be suitable for Hoshino Ai.

"The basic quality of a housekeeping agent is to bring their own cleaning tools."

What Kitagawa Rumi didn't expect was that Hoshino Ai immediately took out a new apron from her bag, smiled and nodded at her, then walked into the kitchen with the dishes.

For a moment, Kitagawa Rumi was the only one left in the living room.

"Meow."

As if interested in the new boards that Kitagawa Rumi had brought out, Ying jumped lightly to its side and took a curious look at it.

On the topmost board was a vivid painting by Samejima Abiko, who was gifted with painting skills, to express sadness:

QAQ.

Chapter 2.0: God's Prank

Miyazaki Prefecture, Japan.

In the silent moonlit night, two men were walking side by side on the mountain road.

"I didn't expect Goro to get married and have his own family."

Suddenly, the man on the left turned his head and laughed as if to tease a friend:

"Are you worried that even though you are almost twenty years older than me, you might end up having to attend my wedding first?"

It seemed that he was amused by Kitagawa Ryo's remarks. Amamiya Goro couldn't help laughing and shook his head and sighed:

"Compared to the fact that I'm getting married soon, I actually didn't expect you to get married so early."

After all, when he first met Kitagawa Ryo, the other party was just an eight-year-old child. Even though the other party has now become an adult male taller than him, Amamiya Goro still feels a little dazed about the passage of time and the changes it brings.

"Because some feelings must be responded to, you can't keep dragging it on."

Beichuan Liang smiled and put his hands into his pockets. The temperature in the forest was a little low at night, and the evening breeze blowing through the branches and leaves was also a little cool.

"As for Goro, I remember your fiancée is also a staff member at the hospital."

"Yes, it was a nurse there. I always liked to enjoy the view from the rooftop during lunch break. I met her on the rooftop once, and we met more often since then. But she was very rude when she spoke, like the type who made sarcastic comments."

Amamiya Goro took a slow step forward, his eyes also looking ahead at the road:

"But after we get married, I might let her be a full-time wife. I have saved a lot of money over the years and plan to move to the city. If we have children in the future, it will be more convenient for them to go to school."

"Well, it sounds like it's already been planned."

Beichuan Liang played the role of a listener very well, quietly listening to his friend chattering about many things in the past, many things in the present, and many things in the future.

"Didn't I tell Liang before? My mother got pregnant with me without telling my parents. She died of postpartum hemorrhage when she gave birth alone at home. During this period, my father never showed up. It's better to say that I don't know who he is at all."

"So in the end, my grandparents adopted me because I was their daughter's biological son. Although my grandmother took good care of me, I didn't get along well with my grandfather. Maybe in his eyes, seeing me was like seeing his miserable daughter."

"But in fact, my grandmother might have had the same idea in her heart, because when I graduated from high school and applied for Tokyo Medical University, she held my hand and cried and said to me, 'It's because of my mother that I want to become an obstetrician and gynecologist.'"

"It was because I couldn't refuse or deny these words that I became an obstetrician and gynecologist. It was also after that incident that I realized that I had always been... how should I put it, like a relic of my mother, living in my grandparents' house for so many years."

"I've never even seen her."

When Goro Amemiya said this, he paused slightly and took off his glasses.

"for you."

Beichuan Liang handed over the tissue immediately. He looked at his friend who was over 30 years old and worked as a chief physician in the obstetrics and gynecology department of the hospital, but still looked sad like a child. He watched him quickly wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes that were not obvious in the night, and calmed himself down.

"But it's all in the past after all."

Amamiya Goro patted Kitagawa Ryo on the shoulder and nodded vigorously:

"I really like a line from Rurouni Kenshin, starring Ryo: People have different happiness. The changes of the world and the times are not something that one person can decide, let alone bear the happiness of everyone... All I can do is protect the specific happiness in front of me."

"Since my parents, whom I have never met, cannot be considered good parents, let my generation make a good start and become a pair of good parents... Let them take a good look."

Goro Amemiya raised his head and looked quietly at the huge moon hanging above their heads, then extended a hand to it.

It was so close to him, just like a piece of frost on the window when he was a child living in the mountains. He could pick it off with just a light reach.

As a husband, he would not be irresponsible and leave without saying goodbye like his father.

As one of the best obstetricians and gynecologists in Miyazaki, his wife would not die from heavy bleeding while giving birth at home like his mother did.

So it must be different from the past——

When his child is born, what he will see must be his father and mother, smiling warmly, welcoming him into the world.

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

After the walk with Amemiya Goro, Kitagawa Ryo did not return to the hotel as the other party expected, but went back to the mountains alone in the dead of night.

Because it was a short trip of only one day, Kitagawa Ryo didn't even tell Ai that he had come to Miyazaki Prefecture.

After all, it only takes ninety minutes to travel from Tokyo to Miyazaki by plane.

As a tourist city with a forest coverage rate of over 75%, Miyazaki Prefecture has a well-protected ecological environment. Even at night, you can hear all kinds of insects and birds chirping.

I don’t even know what kind of mood I am in.

Almost as if the body was moving instinctively, Kitagawa Ryo had unknowingly walked to the cemetery where Tendoji Sarina was buried.

As if to add a bit of horror to the purpose of the night, Beichuan Liang could even see a crow with black feathers standing on the branches by the roadside, hiding in the night and folding its wings.

But there was no panic in Beichuan Ryo's heart.

Some people are afraid of ghosts, some people want to become ghosts, and some people want to see ghosts but can't find them.

Beichuan Ryo reached out and took the now dried white bouquet he had brought last time, cleaned the flat surface briefly, and then sat down.

The time he came to visit Tendoji Sarana was not fixed. Sometimes, if he had more time, he would come several times a month and share some interesting things in life with her, as if she were still alive.

And if the schedule is tight, like the time when I starred in "Kamen Rider Polar Fox", I can only find an opportunity to come here once every few months.

But no matter how the time and frequency change, there will always be a day when I can't come.

On the tenth anniversary of the release of the movie "He Once Lived", a tabloid reporter had a sudden idea. On the anniversary of Sarina Tendoji's death, he took a camera and waited at the cemetery for a day, hoping to take a photo of Kitagawa Ryo coming to pay his respects. After all, the other party had attended Sarina Tendoji's funeral that year.

But throughout the whole day, the tabloid reporters failed to wait for Kitagawa Ryo, but instead Amemiya Goro came to perform the customary worship.

But the tabloid reporter was unwilling to return empty-handed, and wrote a new report with a reversal of thinking, saying that Kitagawa Ryo's previous statements of hoping that the deceased could rest in peace were all just empty words, and he himself had obviously forgotten about Tendoji Sarana long ago, and was a complete profiteer.

Although this report was quickly attacked by fans of Kitagawa Ryo, who said that the exposure of the behind-the-scenes footage was entirely the work of Kitagawa Jin alone, and that Ryo was just a child at the time and had no say in the matter, he has always been a kind-hearted child who is enthusiastic about public welfare, and what the reporter wrote was a deliberate smear campaign.

"Besides, as a fan, Tendouji was able to spend half a month with the two idols she singled out for her final moments. If she died, she wouldn't have any complaints, right? Should Ryo hang her portrait in his home, put up mourning offerings, and kowtow three times and nine times every morning when he wakes up? You can't discredit anything, so why use a dead person? It's unlucky."

This is the speech that left the deepest impression on Beichuan Liang.

If it is said that Goro Amemiya felt guilty for a long time that as a doctor he was unable to save the life of Sarina Tendoji, who became a patient.

Then he is the culprit who made Sarina unable to rest in peace even after her death.

The higher the popularity of Beichuan Liang, the more attention will be paid to his so-called "black spot". People will say it positively, negatively, analyze it horizontally, and blame it vertically. It seems like bad luck, resurrection, and human blood steamed buns. Please choose the camp you want to join.

Sarina Tendoji's parents were not at the hospital on the day she died.

But in fact, Beichuan Liang was not there at all.

Why is it?

Even with such guilt and remorse, there is no way for me to come here every year on the anniversary of Tendoji Sarana's death to express my condolences to her.

Beichuan Liang stroked the cold stele inch by inch, and his fingers ran over the name engraved on it.

To this day, even after twelve years, he can still recall everything about Tendoji Sarana, including her serious look.

She means it.

She really hopes that her condition will get better, that she can survive and become an idol.

That's why he always stares at me with a smile on his face.

Even if it's the very last one.

I firmly believe that my wish will come true one day.

But such a wish will eventually be shattered by death, and this is the reality he sees.

The anniversary of the death of Tendoji Sarana.

It is Kitagawa Rumi's birthday.
