Loneliness and Rock and Roll with Band Observer

At this time, Xiangzi on the other end of the phone suddenly became hesitant.

"Akie, um, actually... I have one more request."

"What's wrong?" Qiu Hui asked.

"I don't know whether I should say this or not, but..."

Xiangzi paused and finally expressed his thoughts.

"When we discuss the project details, can you please be there, Akiie?"

"Eh?" Qiu Hui was stunned. "Do you want me to be there? But..."

She quickly realized, "Is this a euphemism for... wanting me to get involved?"

"...Oh, so, Xiangzi-san wants me to participate in your plan?"

"Yes... yes!" Xiangzi's voice became a little nervous, "How should I put it... a guest appearance is also fine! For example..."

Xiangzi on the other end of the phone was blushing and her heart was beating faster, but Qiu Hui on this end of the phone could not see her expression at all.

She had mentioned before that she hoped I could join her project, Qiu Hui thought.

How should I put it... I don't have any crucial qualities that can help her. Why did she...

Qiu Hui couldn't think any further.

Because she noticed something that made her feel a little...scary.

She paced around unconsciously, and when she turned around, she found...

...First bloom.

Standing behind her.

Now he was staring at her blankly.

"Ah?" Qiu Hui was startled. "Hatsuka-san, is there something wrong?"

Chapter 138 How about you meet?

Chuhua stood in front of Qiu Hui, looking at her with eyes that were obviously a little abnormal, which was already a little scary.

It would be even more terrifying if you consider that there was her agent following behind her and constantly calling out to her!

Qiu Hui had never seen such a posture before. She had only seen Chu Hua at work, and Chu Hua had always been steady, friendly, and gentle at work, with a senior demeanor, which almost became Qiu Hui's inherent impression of him.

But, the way Chu Hua looked at me at this time...how to put it, it looked like he was looking at a long-lost relative!

The joy, desire, loss and nervousness contained in those eyes mixed together, turning into a heavy and pent-up temperament that was completely different from Chuhua's inherent impression, making Qiu Hui suddenly at a loss and almost forgetting that she was still on the phone.

They were just together... recording a program happily, why did she suddenly become so strange? Qiu Hui thought anxiously.

"Hatsuka-san, are you okay?"

At this time, the agent Miss Renzi came to Chuhua, stretched out her hand and waved it in front of her.

“Eh…oh. Huh?”

The appearance of the agent was like cardiopulmonary resuscitation for Chuhua in front of Qiu Hui.

She finally came out of some inexplicable trance and realized what she was doing.

“I… ah, I’m sorry, I just…”

She didn't blush because of shyness or nervousness. She just smiled calmly and apologized to her agent calmly.

"I'm fine. I just wanted to ask Qiu Hui something, but she happened to be on the phone, so I thought I'd wait here for a while." Chu Hua shook her head, "Ms. Agent, although I have work arrangements later, can you allow me to stay here for a while?"

Her work experience and professional qualities enable her to remain calm even when faced with unexpected situations.

"That's no problem." Jinzi finally breathed a sigh of relief. "It's not so urgent that we have to rush for even this little time."

Although she agreed to Chuhua's request, she still seemed a little worried about his condition.

"However, if you feel too much pressure at work, or if there is anything you need to communicate with the firm, you must tell me in time and don't keep it to yourself."

Perhaps because of Chuhua's unusual behavior just now, Renzi was worried, so she looked at the other person's face very seriously while talking.

As the core of Sumimi, Chuhua not only has outstanding business capabilities, but is also almost impeccable in dealing with people. She can be called a perfect idol.

But because of this, Renzi felt that she should pay special attention to her condition.

Because, to put it bluntly, there is no such thing as a "born idol" in the world.

Maintaining a pleasing attitude requires mental energy, and this energy cannot always be easily compensated.

"It's okay, sorry to bother you. I just wanted to ask a question." Chu Hua just smiled politely and didn't reveal anything more.

Chuhua explained her behavior, but when Qiu Hui looked at the two people in front of her, the inexplicable sense of uneasiness in her heart not only did not ease, but became even stronger.

Let's not talk about what questions Chu Hua has for me, and what I can come up with as an answer. If it's just a question, is it necessary to be so... exaggerated?

With this thought in mind, Qiu Hui's previous questions were not only not answered, but became more intense.

Although she had no preference for socializing and did not think she was good at it, her work experience since she won the rookie award until now had forced her to develop some skills and awareness of observing people's words and expressions.

Therefore, she naturally began to pay attention to Chu Hua's expression and demeanor, instinctively trying to get more information from it...

...No, compared to that kind of thing, I'm still talking to Xiangzi on the phone!

"Akie, Akie...what's wrong? Why don't you say anything?"

Xiangzi on the other end of the phone asked anxiously.

"Oh, sorry, actually it seems that Chuhua just happened to have something to ask me." Qiu Hui quickly replied, "Well... she suddenly appeared just now and scared me a little."

"Chuhua?" Xiangzi was stunned, "Are you together?"

"We just finished recording a show together." Qiu Hui answered truthfully. The three of them knew each other and had a certain relationship, so there was nothing to hide.

"Eh? That's a coincidence. But you two are colleagues now, so it's not surprising."

Listening to Xiangzi's voice, Qiu Hui looked at Chuhua, who was smiling and waiting for her to finish the call, and suddenly had an idea.

Chuhua was not far away from me, so he could probably hear what I was saying.

She seemed fine during the taping, but as soon as I started calling, she looked at me like this...

...Does her strange behavior have anything to do with the content of my conversation?

Once you think in this direction, the result is obvious.

Chuhua probably became interested in me because he heard me say the name "Xiangzi".

Qiu Hui thought this made sense because there had been precedents for this kind of thing.

Didn't Suyo decide to form a band with us because she heard Aine and I talking about the lights?

In addition, Xiangzi said that Chuhua and she had known each other since childhood and they had not been in touch for a while; so, it is normal for Chuhua to want to know more about her childhood playmate when she heard me mention him whom she had not contacted for a long time, right?

"Aki? Are you listening?"

"Ah, I'm listening!" Qiu Hui, who was unconsciously immersed in her own thoughts, quickly responded, "Speaking of which, Xiangzi, have you not told Chuhua about your plan yet?"

Qiu Hui deliberately raised her voice slightly, and while speaking she observed Chuhua's appearance distractedly.

Although the latter seemed to be trying to conceal it deliberately, he still had some subtle reactions when he heard Akie mention "Shoko's plan."

"Yes. I think it would be better to wait until this matter is decided before telling her."

"I think you can make an appointment when both of you are free, and then you can talk to Chuhua in person about your ideas." Qiu Hui said, "Besides, Chuhua happens to be here right now...ah, why don't you just let her answer the phone?"

Qiu Hui's idea is simple.

Since Chuhua and Xiangzi were childhood playmates, and Chuhua in front of her seemed to be very concerned about Xiangzi's situation, it was natural for them to meet.

Xiangzi had said before that she was worried whether Chuhua would still remember their past friendship. She probably didn't tell Chuhua about her thoughts in advance because she was worried about this.

But now it seems that Chuhua really cares about Xiangzi...

After suggesting that the two of them could meet, Qiu Hui clearly noticed that Chu Hua in front of her was very happy and didn't even bother to hide her reaction.

Chapter 139: My mind is already full of Qiu Hui

"Is it okay?" Xiangzi asked in surprise, "Then let's do it this way!"

Qiu Hui nodded: "Okay, then I'll ask Chuhua..."

That's what she said, but there was no need to ask. She saw Chu Hua nodding like a chicken pecking at rice, his eyes filled with anticipation that was about to overflow.

...It seems that Chuhua doesn't have any objection. She is really looking forward to contacting Xiangzi, right?

In that case, there is nothing more to say. Qiu Hui handed the phone to Chu Hua in front of her without hesitation.

"Thank you, Akie."

Chu Hua almost trembled slightly as he took Qiu Hui's phone. He then carefully lifted up the golden hair hanging beside his ear and put the receiver to his ear.

"Xiao Xiang? Is it really you?"

"Chuhua."

Xiangzi on the other end of the phone smiled.

"It's been a long time since we last met."

……

At the same time, outside the office's meeting room.

At this moment, Xiangzi was wearing a suit specially designed for formal occasions. He was sitting upright in front of the door, talking on the phone with Chuhua.

She had just met with a staff member of the agency. At first, the other party didn't care much about the "project" proposed by Xiangzi, a student-like person; it was not until Xiangzi revealed Mu's identity that the other party showed some interest.

But even so, the firm still did not show a strong willingness. According to the other party's statement just now, Xiangzi only relied on Mu as a bargaining chip to obtain the qualification of "further discussion".

As for whether the agency is willing to lend out its popular artists, it is still completely unclear.

Therefore, Xiangzi, who was talking to Chuhua at this moment, still felt a little uneasy and had strong emotions.

Under her arm she held a stack of paper materials in a folder to deal with possible formalities.

Some of them were what Qiu Hui had told her to prepare, and some were asked from her father.

She found an opportunity when her father didn't seem to have drunk too much and asked him about the situation. He vaguely told her about the general project based on his memory of working, and then took out some money from somewhere and gave it to Xiangzi as the cost of printing materials.

Although his father put down the wine bottles scattered on the ground and went back to sleep after he finished speaking, the fact that he actually helped him was a complete surprise to Xiangzi.

Now, being able to talk to old friends who have achieved certain success in the entertainment industry is another unexpected surprise.

Things have been going in a good direction since I met Akie, Xiangzi thought.

It was obvious that she didn't do anything for me and didn't have any special opinion of me, as if her mere existence could make everything less bad.

"Xiao Xiang!" Chu Hua said excitedly on the other end of the phone, "It's been a long time since we last met. Is everything going well recently?"

Smoothly... or something. Xiangzi showed a bitter smile.

If you say everything went smoothly...in fact, only the things related to her went smoothly.

The negotiation process for the new project is still underway, the savings accumulated previously have run out, and suitable part-time jobs have not been found.

Even now, I can chat with Chuhua like this, thanks to Qiu Hui...

Xiangzi was a little dazed, so she overlooked some very important facts.

She already had Chuhua's contact information, so she could contact Chuhua anytime she wanted.

Moreover, Chu Hua's attitude towards her was also very enthusiastic, so enthusiastic that it could almost be said that he was craving for her. As for the reason why he had not taken the initiative to contact her for a long time, it was not because he had forgotten or ignored her existence, but because he valued her too much, so he was hesitant and full of concerns.

However, Xiangzi, who had been deliberately suppressing his emotions for the past year, was completely unaware of all this.

In her heart, she is now a destitute person who has lost everything due to an accident and is now fighting for a slim hope.

Chu Hua, however, already has a stable career and is a successful person who is welcomed and admired.

Does Chuhua still care about our relationship? Am I qualified to ask her for such a great help now?
