[i7][45 Huanzhuang]

The backstage was busy, and Huan looked in the mirror alone and re-tied the tie.

Uniforms are not required for the first half.When the short film was played in the middle, he had two and a half minutes to take off his casual clothes, put on his school uniform, make it neat and tidy, and return to the studio.

This spirited and beautiful tie style was just learned from Yizhi.He listened to Ryunosuke, and when he was alone with Ichiori, he apologized.Yizhi frowned, not knowing why he apologized suddenly and thoughtlessly.First he said "why", and then immediately added "forget it, no need to explain, forgive you".

Zhizhi really didn't blame me.

Staff came and went behind him, Huan raised his face in front of the mirror and thought.

Will the schoolmates watch this show?That fellow Kyoutaro would probably read it, and so would Takaji.Many girls in the class know it, and they are fans of Zhizhi.Oh, and fans of Kazuko, Nagi's fans.Anyone has it.Maybe someone is my fan, but I am too embarrassed to tell me.Don't these people think it's funny to see the school uniform on TV?

Speaking of which, have I grown taller again?

Ring straightened his arms and tugged at his cuffs.It's hard to detect with the naked eye, but the person wearing the clothes knows exactly where it's short.

He turned his head and sniffed the sleeve of his uniform.

It was a long time ago that Sogo helped him iron.But until today, that warm fragrance suddenly revived again, quietly rising with the movement of the limbs.

"Mr. Huan? Here it is."

He turned around and saw Sogo.

“Costume re-trying before the show? It’s rare.”

"Your own uniform, don't try it on."

"Exactly." Zhuang Wu smiled.

"Xiao Zhuang will chat with me before the opening, which is relatively rare."

"is it?"

"Yes."

"Sorry, if you're not used to it..."

"No. You apologize again."

Zhuangwu frowned and smiled, and let out a breath.

"Han-kun is really handsome in uniform."

Ring giggled.

"You praised me."

"Remember to wear casual clothes first when you open the mirror."

"I remember."

Language froze again.They are really not used to this kind of idle chat.

The tense atmosphere among the members was reversed, but they never returned to the original state.Huan became more sensible, and no longer needed Zhuang Wu's lectures.And when something really happened and had to make up for it, other members would rush forward, so there was no need for Zhuang Wu to worry about it all the time.

They are also hardly alone anymore.

Even though they are often in the same room, separated by a delicate air, the eyes will hide from each other while looking for each other.But there is always an unresolved issue in the middle that prevents them from being honest.

Even now, it still takes a lot of courage to speak up if you are mentally prepared.

"Xiao Zhuang..." Huan still spoke, "I have something to do."

"……Um."

"It's about to start."

"I know." Zhuang Wu lowered his head, "Let's talk after the recording is over. After the recording is over, don't leave Mr. Huan, and wait for me in Le House. Okay?"

"About MEZZO"? "

"……Um."

Zhuangwu's eyes were lowered, wandering between the toes of his shoes.

"Have you made up your mind yet?"

"I... no, I can't make decisions alone, so I want to talk to you..."

Huan's eyes were also lowered, but she was looking at Zhuang Wu's hair.

"Then, let's talk after the recording."

"……Um."

"Xiao Zhuang."

"Ok?"

"I've heard what Xiao Zhuang did for me."

Zhuangwu raised his head suspiciously.

He wasn't sure which piece the ring was referring to; or rather, it hadn't occurred to him that the ring might have known about that morning—a morning he'd never described to anyone.

"My brother and Lele told me the day before yesterday. But when I got back to the dormitory, it was very late and you were all asleep. I wanted to send you an RC, but I didn't know what to say... Tell my brother, maybe you don't want to let me I know myself……"

"Mr. Huan," Zhuang Wu was even more at a loss, "What exactly are you talking about..."

"...I don't know what I'm talking about."

Zhuang Wu smiled.

Huan's face became hot again, and he hurriedly pushed Zhuang Wu into the shed.

"Okay! Let's talk after the filming is over - don't you have to go in 5 minutes earlier, let's go."

Replacement costumes and small props were placed in designated locations.The sound engineer finally confirmed a key point in the process; 7 people sat on the curved sofa, crowded, knees next to knees.

The small light of the camera flickered and started to work.The director gestured at the same time.

March is easy and familiar with the road.Closing and opening eyes, the opening logo has already been broadcast on the TV screens of every household.

"Welcome to the night of you, i7 and love, we are IDOLiSH7! Yamato, Ichiori, Riku, Sogo, Tamaki, Nagi, I am Izumi Sanzuki in charge of the MC. Today is a 35-minute live broadcast special, I hope you will not be troubled by this group of people. Please take care of me, forgive me, and look forward to the colorful content in the future!"

"Please take care of me!"

"Take care—"

"Then our topic today is—"

It is "student days".

Although everyone has filmed the fantasy variety show "Ai Nana Academy", it is the first time that the theme of "student days" has been presented in the show.Sanyue's eloquent teeth, like chewing crispy beans, led everyone to chat a few memories of their school days. When she raised her hand, the camera cut to the big screen - what appeared on it was wearing a bib and a kindergarten round cap, with her eyes wide open. A photo of Kazuori looking innocently through the big glasses.

Amid the roar of laughter, Ichiori stood up and made a solemn protest to his brother.And just as he expected, this photo quickly ignited the topic on social networks.

More and more people turned on the TV.The number of bullet screens on the live broadcast platform is also gradually increasing.

The photo given by Lu was taken early in the morning when he was in elementary school.He was carrying a backpack, standing at the door of the house, with both hands on the belt: his face was too rosy, and he smiled brightly.The ones shown later are the elementary school student who just won the community baseball game, Sogo who is posing for a picture at the gate of the middle school with his ID photo, Nagi whose uniform is as gorgeous as a court dress, and San who is more fashionable than Ichiori when he entered high school. moon.In the end it was Yamato's turn, but what was released was stills of the student role played earlier.This perfunctory attitude was unanimously criticized by everyone, and at the order of March, everyone surrounded him and beat him up hypocritically.

Nagi's clothing style immediately caused heated discussions.While the show was still in progress, someone opened a search engine to conduct research.

The private aristocratic high school that Zhuang Wu once attended was found in no time; fans immediately found out the amount of tuition fees and admission requirements, and they were amazed like ripples.

They in the studio didn't know this; they were destined not to know.

And thousands of living love and concern are intertwined in the air every second.

After a short video of Ai Nana Academy was played, under Nagi's command, the members started an impromptu performance of the academy scene.The audience in front of the screen couldn't catch their breath with laughter, and a video clip of TRIGGER Academy was presented in front of them.

Fans of the two groups shared the responsibility, and fans who had quarreled with TRIGGER fans on the Internet because of IDOLiSH7 expressed similar exclamations, but their emotions were different.

After the clips were finished, a new special short film appeared—the four teachers who played roles in Ainana Academy, Yamato, March, Sogo, Nagi, and the three from the neighboring school—gathered in the teaching staff room.The overhead lights went dark: they took out the fireworks from behind.

With the hiss of fireworks burning, the camera cuts back to the studio.Ichiori and Ring had already changed into their uniforms, and stood in the middle, surrounded by everyone; the firework sticks in the hands of their companions turned into paper fireworks tubes in their hands, and they were fired in unison, and the confetti sprayed their faces one head.

"happy graduation--!!"

The owner of the jewelry store pulled down the shutter door.On the way home, she was distracted from time to time, looking at the car TV.

On this day of the week, the store would normally close half an hour earlier.The purpose is to be able to return home early, sit in front of the TV, take out popcorn and beer, and be fully prepared for the moment when the titled variety show starts.

Although popcorn is not so safe, and when you laugh, you will accidentally blow the carpet, but what can you do?Love popcorn, just love it.

In the review program, "missyou..." was not sung.After that week, even the popcorn didn't taste good anymore.

The taste in my mouth is still sweet, but something in my heart is dying.

There were no early closures in the last week.When I got home and looked at my watch, the titled variety show was over.The whole room was silent, as if a period of youth that had never been here had ended hastily.

I wanted to do the same today—but for some reason, I stayed in the store, fidgeting.

Light music came from the car TV.Kazuori, who gave a graduation speech at school, also walked to the center of the stage today and said a few words.Huan was next to him, dressed in neat clothes, but his back was tensely shrunk; after a while, he also adjusted his collar and walked to the front of the stage.

The car drove past the window of the shopping street, and a female student stood there blankly.The same four-leaf ring is on the screen of the window TV and the car TV.

After he didn't speak for half a minute, he forgot the words and took out the cheat sheet amidst laughter.The sentences are finally fluent, and the content has become a little more formal, like a serious speech.

The girl in front of the window tapped her heels lightly, with her hands behind her back and her cuffs down, revealing a tattoo appliqué pattern.

Her figure made the shopkeeper feel familiar; but he didn't believe that things could be too coincidental.

The car didn't slow down.Meteors flew over Yomachi.

"... While doing this job, I graduated smoothly. I want to thank the teachers and classmates of the school, as well as my colleagues, people in the office, and fans. Thank you everyone. In the future, the ring, I will continue to work hard to become a mature, reliable and handsome adult."

Huan solemnly finished reading the speech in his hand.All the companions on the sofa stood up and applauded him.

"It's the first time I've heard such a serious speech from Huan." Sanyue sighed, "It's really well written."

"It's really good, and the sentences are very standardized. It's a bit like Hajime."

"Have you been discovered?" Huan scratched his head at Yamato, "Zhizhi wrote it for me."

"Fuck, it's true!"

There was a burst of laughter on the sofa.Ichiori also smiled, and sighed helplessly.

"Even if you're embarrassed, don't push the blame on me, okay? You wrote it yourself. Thank you to everyone, thank you to fans, and your expectations for work. You have to say it yourself. I just help you polish the words and sentences. That's all."

"Oh--"

Yamato and March on both sides nodded frequently.

"Hey, Xiaohuan has really grown up. Brother is very lonely now, and his head feels cold."

"Okay, Leader, I don't have time for you to be lonely. Next, we will be awarding our two high school students with graduation certificates specially made by this program group! The sponsor also provided us with some congratulatory gifts, thank you very much..."

In March, the tongue burst into lotus flowers and reported a long list of brand names.The music switched a little brightly, and Yizhi returned to the middle.

It was another wave of hilarious and joking ceremony, and everyone shared the cake on the spot.

"Ah, that--"

Huan cleared his throat, and the camera refocused on him.

It turned out that he stayed in front of the microphone and never left that position.

"Well, I have something else to say."

March made a gesture.

The laughter stopped, and everyone sat back on the sofa.

The viewers in front of the TV were also affected, they adjusted their sitting postures and became a little more serious.

Huan lowered his head and was silent for a short while, reviewing the speech he had prepared for the last time.

Zhuang Wu was very nervous, his heart was pounding.

The flow chart he got didn't have this link, so he didn't know what Huan was going to say.In fact, earlier, he had noticed that the progress of the program was rushing forward all the way, and now, it was already 3 minutes faster than the scheduled schedule.If this continues, won't there be a gap in the end?Zhuang Wu was worried, and he kept thinking about it when others were eating cakes.But I don't know which link went wrong; during the live broadcast, I couldn't stop the camera to remind others.

The timing is March.He never made a mistake in this regard.He tried his best to wink at March, but March never noticed.

Is there a planned arrangement?Why don't I know?

If it was planned, who would deliberately set up a free speech for the ring?

What the hell are you going to say?Nothing will happen, right?They have so many NG keywords, but live broadcasts can’t be NG—can Huan really avoid them all?

But Sanyue didn't say anything; Yamato didn't say anything, and Kazuori didn't say anything.No one spoke, and they all deliberately ignored Zhuang Wu's uneasiness, instead they all looked around encouragingly and expectantly.

A trace of cold sweat broke out in the palm of Zhuang Wu's hands, and the tip of his heart was also slightly sticky.

Huan finally thought about it and raised his head.

"Last week, I participated in the school's graduation ceremony. After that, everyone hugged each other, took pictures, and good friends signed each other's school uniforms. It was very lively. Many students came to me and said, congratulations on graduation. Can't I only see you on TV? Be a good social person and don't cause trouble for others!"

"That's very good." Yizhi interrupted with a faint smile.

"——I know, I have caused troubles for many people," Huan didn't look at Yizhi, but straight ahead, "But there is one person, I have caused the most troubles for him, but he has never complained to me."

It's a bit weird to open this one.

There seemed to be a rope hanging behind Zhuang Wu's collar, and his breathing was constricted.

Huan didn't look at him, and went straight on:

"When I first became an idol, I hated Xiaozhuang very much."

Sougo stood up.

In the same second, many people stood up in front of the TV.

A slow-moving silver car slammed to the brakes in the alley.

"Look, you scared him." March smiled, stood up and pulled Zhuangwu's arm, "Don't be nervous, listen to him first."

Zhuang Wu hesitated for a while, and sat down before Huan continued to speak.

"At that time, I thought he was so annoying—so annoying. Mother-in-law, mother-in-law, this, that, everything. I was obviously very tired, but he still ran to my room and asked me if I had anything for school. Get ready, have you read the work materials, don’t lie on the bed and eat snacks, don’t play with your mobile phone too late. It’s like this every day. When we go out on location and stay in a hotel together, he will endlessly urge me to go to bed early. 5 minutes earlier, Everything is 5 minutes early. I have worked hard! I don't understand him, and I don't want to understand. I was angry with him and yelled at him.

"However, later, Xiao Zhuang found out about my separation from Li. After Xiao Zhuang found out, he... always thought of her for me, and whenever he had a chance, he would help me find her. Xiao Zhuang...for me He did a lot of things. Xiao Zhuang thought of things for me that I never thought about myself. So many, so many.

"I know now. Xiao Zhuang is very good to me. He wants to be good to me, so... that's why he keeps nagging me.

"I...I understand now. I want to praise Zhuang.

"I'm an idiot. Xiao Zhuang is great everywhere.

"I'm an idiot, so he had to work harder when he was working with me. He was already working hard, and I... I knew it. But, because it was me, he had to work harder.

"Xiao Zhuang even did very...remarkable things for me. When I first heard it, I didn't believe it at all. I couldn't imagine Xiao Zhuang like that. I never knew that he would do it People at this level.

"I think it's because I'm not reliable enough. So, when it came time to fight the boss, Xiao Zhuang didn't want to discuss it with me at all. He rushed up alone.

"I don't like this. I used to say to Xiao Zhuang that you can't make decisions alone, because I hate him the most because he doesn't care about my feelings. But now I know that no matter what decisions Xiao Zhuang makes, he always considers my feelings .He didn't think too little, but too much.

"I'm not going to say things like that now. Never again. If he's going to make a decision, I want him to do it alone. I just hope -- I hope he can make a decision that makes him happy."

At the beginning, I stuttered and couldn't understand the sentences.In the end, it turned out to be faster and faster, and more fluent.

"Now, I have graduated from high school. I don't have to go to school, I can have a lot of time, I can clean the room, and I can go to the work site a little earlier. I can do many, many things. In the future, I want to become A reliable person - I want to be a person who can protect others. I hope that when the management mentions me, they can say that I am a good brother, and when my companions mention me, they can proudly say that I am A good partner."

At the end, he squeezed his fists and bowed deeply.

"I'm done."

Many people shed tears in front of the TV, unknowingly.Although he didn't fully understand the meaning of what Huan said, and he might not be able to explain exactly what he was crying about.

The close-up shot was given to Zhuang Wu, but he was also stunned.His eyes were wide open and his lips parted slightly.I was stunned, at a loss.

March nudged him; Nagi was blinking at him.

He knew it was time for him to stand up.What to say.

That's part of the job of being an idol, though he's never quite done it.

His fingertips couldn't stop shaking; he tried to say a few polite words first, but when the words came to his mouth, they melted and disappeared like snowflakes falling on the tip of his tongue.

There is a wooden house to shelter temporarily in the wind and snow, and it is always warm and comfortable.In the fireplace behind him, firewood was crackling, hot soup was burning on the pot, and the aroma of pine mushrooms wafted out.

He knew that once the door of this wooden house was opened, there would still be the noise and wind and snow in front of him.The sound of the wind was so loud that it covered everything, so that the sound of the strings being plucked, the sound of shouting, and the strong beating of the heartbeat all disappeared.Out of this door is the vast snowfield.I don't know where the trap is, I can't see the wolf, I can't see the ice cave and the cliff.All that is in hand is just a cloak.Don't talk about going outside.Just peeking at this wind and snow, you have to use up all your courage.

But so what?

Didn't the person who was about to walk with him—he had only seen it with the last sliver of hope in the hallucinations that were so frantic and out of control—hadn't he stretched out his hand and was waiting in front of him?

"...Thank you, Mr. Huan, I... I'm so shocked, I don't know what to say, I'm sorry..."

Zhuangwu finally stood up, trembling.

"I... thank you. Thank you. Mr. Huan, I think... you are already a reliable adult. So..."

Zhuang is incoherent in five languages.But no one smoothed things over for him, no one urged him.They waited quietly, because they all knew that this was Zhuang Wu's decision, and it was his time alone.

Huan also looked towards him, waiting quietly.

The anticipation was so clumsy, it couldn't be concealed, it was hidden in the lines of the eyelids, flickering non-stop.

Zhuang Wu smiled.

He raised his head, his eyes no longer dodging.

"In short, Mr. Huan, thank you. From now on, we will go far together. Whether it is IDOLiSH7,—"

He paused.

It seemed that everyone had sensed his wishes and stood up silently behind him.

"——It's still MEZZO", please continue to advise. "

Huan didn't need any answer, he had already walked up.

The camera lens came close together with him, and clearly photographed the corners of Huan's eyes with tears welling up, and a smile on his lips.

They clapped their hands and then shoulder to shoulder in a quick embrace.

All the companions came over and hugged each other tightly.

In the last 30 seconds of the show, March, who still took care of the overall situation, stood up and said the concluding remarks.The urge to shed tears behind his nose was so violent that he couldn't speak continuously several times.

And that doesn't matter anymore.The swiping barrage on the live broadcast platform has completely froze the screen.In the silver car in the alley, someone was crying bitterly.

After the cameras stopped, the people on stage still hugged each other.

Zhuang Wu closed his eyes, in the middle, protected by the overlapping body temperature.

The buddies cried, but this time he didn't.His slender eyelashes drooped, revealing a warm and safe smile.

There is no need to cry anymore, he thought.

END

"Actually... before the show started, I said to let Mr. Huan stay, there is another thing."

Zhuang Wu leaned against the wall and sat on the carpet; Huan leaned shoulder to shoulder with him.

"what?"

"Senior Jiutiao sent me a message, saying that my sister Li wants to call you after you finish recording the show. She knows the theme of today's show and wants to call to congratulate you on your graduation."

"Hey——" Huan made a long sound, "Xiao Zhuang just told me now, is he trying to surprise me?"

"No, no. I didn't do it on purpose. At that time you said you were going to talk about MEZZO", I became nervous...and forgot to mention it. "

"Xiao Zhuang... now, are you afraid?"

"Huh? Haha... I'm afraid. Look at my fingers, they're still shaking."

Sogo placed his fingertips on the back of Tamaki's hand, making him feel the involuntary tremor.

"It's okay. Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Zhuang Wu gave him a smile in answer.

Huan took the phone out of his pocket and held it together with Zhuangwu's fingers.

"I will receive it this time."

"Mmm. Surely it will."

"Will you wait with me?"

"Ah."

Huan smiled, but the tears in the corners of his eyes were still not completely wiped away.

"I like Xiao Zhuang."

Zhuang Wu nodded slightly.

"I know."

"I really like it, not a joke. It's not a child's like, not a friend's like. It's...it's..."

Zhuang Wu laughed out loud when he saw that he couldn't find any words after searching his guts.

"What are you laughing at?"

"Sorry……"

"Xiao Zhuang," Huan looked at him seriously, "Do you like me?"

Sougo also turned his head to Huan.

They all remembered that the question had been asked and had been outright refused to answer.

But this time Zhuang Wu just looked at Huan tenderly, looked at it for a while, and then smiled slightly:

"I'll tell you when you're an adult."
