[i7][45 Huanzhuang]

From: Sogo Aisaka

Mr. Jiutiao's Taijian: I have been greeting you for a long time, and my fear is beyond words.

The RC message you sent a few days ago, I failed to reply in time, it is really difficult to find an excuse to defend myself, I can only ask you to be lenient and forgive me.But in this situation, I still acknowledge your great kindness, regardless of the serious suspicion, and created conditions for Sister Li to contact Huan directly.If there is any assignment in the future, I will never die.

From: Sogo Aisaka

Sorry, I

From: Sogo Aisaka

Sorry, I was editing my wording and accidentally hit the send button.

Please ignore the above content please?I'll rewrite it right away.

From: Jiutiaotian

……

What else do you want?That's about it, okay?

From: Jiutiaotian

Did Yotsuba talk to Ri?

From: Sogo Aisaka

Unfortunately, it was live at the time.I got a call by chance, but couldn't get Ring to answer it.

From: Jiutiaotian

yes.

From: Sogo Aisaka

It's all my fault that I didn't think carefully when I spoke to you earlier, and I failed your good intentions.If you can apologize by cutting off your hair and limbs, I will not hesitate to ask you to give me instructions.

From: Jiutiaotian

Okay, okay, I know why Four-leaf Ring is scared by you.

From: Jiutiaotian

How about this.You order another cake, send it to my office, and write Jiuyao Lianxing to accept it.Someone will put it on my desk.Ask the store to include a business card in the box.

From: Sogo Aisaka

true

From: Sogo Aisaka

I really can't believe you are willing to give me the opportunity to express my gratitude and apology.

I will carefully select two or three snacks and sugar-free healthy drinks and deliver them to your designated name.

From: Jiutiaotian

……

Do you have nothing to complain about?

From: Sogo Aisaka

Sorry, I didn't understand what you mean?

From: Jiutiaotian

It's nothing.

From: Jiutiaotian

Are you done with Clover?

From: Sogo Aisaka

……

Have you heard that too?

From: Jiutiaotian

Your Nikaido told Ryu when he was drinking with him.

Long was worried.When I was in the background, I kept sighing.

From: Sogo Aisaka

Thanks... Thanks for letting me know.

I have caused a lot of trouble to my family members, I have nowhere to go, and now TRIGGER's mood is also affected by my affairs, I don't know what to do.Mr. Ten has received a lot of care from him all the time, thanks to his mediation during the ShuffleUnit...

Another day I will come to the door in person and apologize to Mr. Ten.

From: Sogo Aisaka

Kujo-san must be worried about me too.I really feel ashamed.

From: Jiutiaotian

I don't care much.You worry too much.

From: Jiutiaotian

It's just that I can't bear to see the dragon like that.Le still ran over to ask Long what happened.Do you know how annoying it is to have two tall idiots chattering in the fun room?

From: Sogo Aisaka

I'm sorry, I... I don't have the guts to ask for forgiveness anymore.

Only this time, I really have something that I can't explain to you.I don't ask for forgiveness, I just ask you to understand this unspeakable secret...

From: Jiutiaotian

never mind.I also told Long that their avatars have not been changed, and there will be no major incidents.Long seems to believe it.

From: Sogo Aisaka

head, avatar...sorry, i didn't notice these

From: Jiutiaotian

you.Don't you think you are too selfish?

From: Jiutiaotian

Long is worried about you to this extent, but he still doesn't know what happened.

From: Jiutiaotian

Nikaido didn't know either.You call them companions, but you don't tell any of them.

From: Jiutiaotian

If you're not going to talk at all, don't let anyone see that you have something on your mind.But you can't do it.

From: Jiutiaotian

Not only your members, but even I know it now.And you still look so painful that you can't speak, which makes others feel that they can't bear to ask you, as if forcing you is torturing you.

From: Jiutiaotian

Do you think you are so great?How do you take responsibility for other people's concerns about you?

From: Jiutiaotian

Aisaka Sogo?

From: Jiutiaotian

What's wrong?Are you the type to hide and cry when someone says a few words?

From: Jiutiaotian

In terms of endurance, Izumi Iori is stronger than you.

From: Sogo Aisaka

I'm sorry, Mr. Kujo...I'm here, I didn't run away, I'm sorry.

From: Sogo Aisaka

You're right, I don't think too much, but too little.It's me who doesn't care about the feelings of my relatives and friends around me.I am too selfish.

From: Sogo Aisaka

Whenever I think of Mr. Kujo, I reflect on myself.

Mr. Kujo also left home when he was young, and some family members don't understand you.But you are always strong and shining, and you can achieve everything perfectly no matter the time.

But I was always indecisive, and it was difficult to make a choice.

From: Sogo Aisaka

What should I do to find the right path like you?

From: Sogo Aisaka

If you still want to teach, please do so directly.Even scolding and reprimanding, I will accept them all.

From: Jiutiaotian

I didn't come here specifically to scold you.Just can't stand it.

From: Jiutiaotian

I don't know what you're referring to, but I think it's the same thing.

What you have to do is not to find the right way.Instead, firmly believe that the path under your feet is correct.

From: Jiutiaotian

You dare not choose, but because you cannot face the consequences of your choice.

You're just afraid of failing, of being hated.

From: Jiutiaotian

Why should you care about your own failures, your own pain, if you feel that you are really doing it for the good of another?

From: Jiutiaotian

Even if you fall into the quagmire and suffer all kinds of humiliation, even if you hate you even if you want to protect, you still have to insist on doing what you think is right, just because you believe that you are for his own good—do you dare?

From: Jiutiaotian

If you dare, what choice would you not be able to make?

From: Sogo Aisaka

Mr. Kujo, thank you for your advice.

From: Sogo Aisaka

I know what to do.

From: Jiutiaotian

……

From: Jiutiaotian

you wait a minute.

From: Jiutiaotian

Aisaka Sogo?

Sougo stood up.

The hour hand has passed zero.It was always dark in his room.He groped, and when he got to the door, he rubbed the densely packed schedule with his trembling fingertips.The street light outside was so weak that it seemed to be there, and the words were not clearly visible when it shone on it. There were only dark and dark red markers tangled together.

After finally touching a blank space, his fingers finally stopped.

He heard his own breathing violently, and then gradually calmed down in the long silence.

At some point, there was light in the room.

Zhuang Wu turned around and suddenly saw heavy snow falling outside the unclosed curtains, shaking the whole night as bright as day.

He poked his head out of the room, looked left and right, and made sure that no one was in the living room.

This is the early morning of the fourth day of the first lunar month.As the Chinese New Year holidays for the world are coming to an end, professional entertainers can finally breathe a sigh of relief.For IDOLiSH7, with the rising popularity, this year's New Year's work has almost doubled compared to last year.Last year, I was free to eat rice cakes and play shuttlecock feathers together on the morning of the Chinese New Year, but this year I wish I could just sleep on the TV station and on location.

It's finally the day off. There was a grand dinner the night before, and no one got up early today.Zhuang Wu came out quietly, with his coat draped over his hands, wearing a white suit with an indigo tie, without a single wrinkle.He walked quickly through the empty living room, passing the scattered cushions and snack bags that he hadn't cleared away in time.The kotatsu, which had been hot the night before, had naturally turned cold by now.

When passing by the full-length mirror in the entrance, he inadvertently glanced at himself, and suddenly froze on the spot.

Where am I going?

Thinking of what to do next, the time to face... No, I dare not think about it.

Hands suddenly stretched out from the mud on the floor and bound him in place.

If you think about it for another second, you will not be able to take this step.

In the corner of the dizzy field of vision, suddenly appeared the kite that was flown with Huan during the Chinese New Year last year.

The pudding pattern was expressionless, with eyes without pupils, looking straight at him.

Courage returned as suddenly as it had vanished.

Zhuang Wu regained his composure and looked at himself in the mirror again.That's me in normal times: brows are relaxed, lips are loose, and it seems that a humble smile will appear at any time.

The grip on his ankle loosened; the air in the room began to flow again.

It's too cold outside.The living room has not yet been finished, and the cold has already soaked in from every gap.When he opened the door, Zhuang Wu couldn't help shivering.He put on his overcoat, wrapped his scarf over half of his face, and went out.

The snow had stopped, and the few vehicles slid slowly and cautiously through the mud.Sogo walked three blocks before finding a taxi.The driver kept yawning and seemed not to recognize him.Zhuang Wu announced a landmark; the driver nodded, and started straight away as if he was too lazy to talk.

The snow has only been cleared initially, and there are black ruts on the road.The sun hesitated behind the clouds, never showing its face.Some companies have already opened for work, and people who meet at the door of the office building exhale, stamp their feet, and exchange New Year greetings.

Zhuangwu straightened his neck all the way until he reached the bottom of the dazzling glass building.The driver called him, and he came back to his senses, apologized, and asked the driver to stop for a while.

He made the call.

"Miss Shiina? Yes, I'm Sogo."

"You're welcome. Is he... is he already in the office?"

"Understood. I'll be there in ten minutes. Don't trouble you to pick me up...I'll go up by myself."

Miss Shiina came down to pick him up.

She has been with FSC for more than ten years, and has been the secretary of Aisaka Zhishi for more than five years.Zhuang Wu didn't know her exact age, maybe she was 35 years old or 40 years old; he only remembered that when he first met her, she was young and beautiful, and he was a senior elementary school student.Soon her expression became refined and stern, with downward nasolabial folds at the corners of her mouth, like the image of a governess in French literature of the eighteenth century.She was wearing a dress and looking down from the top of a high marble staircase.There are always one or two huge staircases in important clubs, no matter how prominent people come to visit, they have to move their legs step by step and walk up in person.

She nodded to Zhuang Wu, and wordlessly led him through the corridor and into the elevator.

With her around, he walked straight through the security gate without being asked to check his belongings.The young security inspector recognized him as his idol, Sogo Aisaka—another, older one immediately rushed over to cover his mouth and pulled him aside.

He knows him too, as FSC's So-dong.

Zhuang Wu saw it and smiled at them together.

They straightened their clothes and bowed to him with different expressions.

I never felt that the office was so far away and had to go through so many levels.Zhuang Wu lowered his head and walked quickly behind Miss Shiina.When he could come when he wanted to, everyone opened the way for him.

Miss Shiina asked him to wait in the concierge room, and went out alone.

The gold-carved door was not closed properly. After Zhuang Wuku sat for a few minutes, he suddenly saw the door diagonally opposite open.The president of the Yatome Office, Yaotome Sosuke, came out with Yatome Raku.

Zhuang Wu was startled, and hurriedly stood up.But they were just passing by, heading towards the other end of the corridor.It disappeared from view after a while.

There is nothing wrong with thinking about it. FSC is one of the main sponsors of TRIGGER, and TRIGGER endorses the image of many FSC subordinate brands.On the opening day of the Chinese New Year, the president of the idol agency and the head of the artist team visited the patrons together, which was just a very ordinary business relationship.

...I heard that Yaotome-senpai was also at odds with her father.

But they will form a short-term alliance on this day to fulfill their due responsibilities together.

Zhuangwu stood for a while before realizing the dryness of his lips and the thirst in his throat.

Miss Shiina opened the door a crack, exited the room after he walked in, and closed the door.

Father sat behind a huge desk with a pile of newspapers spread out in front of him, writing some notes on the tablet with a stylus.The room is big, a bit cold, and there are big pots of evergreen plants in the corner, and the leaves are gray and white like frost.On the left hand side is an exclusive reception area; on the coffee table there are a few snacks and a teacup with a simple style, steaming.

Ms. Shiina must have specially prepared it for herself.But Zhuang Wu did not pass.

He stood silently in the doorway until his father finally looked up.

"It really is you."

His flower glasses fell on his nose, and he stretched out his fingers and pushed it slowly.

"Shiina arranged a meeting for me, but the name and title were all blank. She was vague when I asked her, and only said that it was a meeting with a business partner. She really..."

He chuckled a little in his throat.

"—pretending to be smart."

The heavy air fell silently between them.Father's hand fell on the countertop and knocked heavily.

"Maybe my request is a little pale, but please don't blame Miss Shiina," Zhuang Wu lowered his head, "I kept calling her, begging her to arrange for me..."

"She's my secretary. And she should know who you are now."

"Please trust her professionalism, she is very clear..." Zhuang Wu never raised his head, "Besides, she is also thinking about you. She cares about us...the relationship between father and son."

Father's gray eyebrows were slightly raised, revealing a plausible smile.

"I'm surprised. The word father-son love can still be heard from your mouth."

"If you didn't still think about this affection, why would you come to the TV station...to see me in my happy house?"

Father narrowed his eyes.

"This is much more sensible. It reminds me of you when I was a child."

"You prefer me when I was a child."

"Of course. When you were young, you always sat quietly when you were taken out, and everyone praised you. You wouldn't quarrel with me for stupid reasons, and you wouldn't grab your old father by the collar and hit the wall."

Sogo's eyes dimmed even more.

"...I won't do anything like that again. Please take your finger off the guard bell."

The father watched him for a few seconds, moved his hands silently to the armrest of the chair, and leaned back.

Sogo bowed in his father's direction.

"Thank you."

"Speak the truth."

"...It seems that you already know."

The father didn't answer, motioning for him to continue.

"Please forgive me for not accepting the suggestion you made last time."

Zhuangwu slowly raised his head.

"I want to maintain my current identity as IDOLiSH7 and also a member of MEZZO". "

The father didn't move, nor did he show the slightest surprise, his eyes were looking straight at him.

"Go on."

"I know I have nothing, so..."

Zhuang Wu closed his eyes, then opened them again.

"I want to negotiate with you, so I have to use myself as a bargaining chip."
