Upon hearing this, Shiraishi also looked out to sea, his eyes filled with thought. "Everyone wants to achieve something," he said softly, as if talking to himself, but also to Uzuki, "I can proudly tell others that this is my achievement."

"What does that mean to you?" Mao Yue turned her head and looked at Shiraishi seriously, her eyes full of anticipation.

"It's something that competes with singing and idol careers," Shiraishi replied, his voice firm and powerful. "It's something that can make others admire me and that I can show off to others." He believed that everyone had such a dream, and Uzuki was no exception.

Uzuki was silent. She stared at the sea quietly, as if digesting Shiraishi's words. A gentle sea breeze blew by, bringing a hint of coolness but also dispelling some of the heaviness in the air.

"But everyone hasn't become that person yet, so when they see you on TV and as an idol... they think you're dazzling," Shiraishi continued, his tone full of understanding. "Also, because everyone isn't calm or strong enough to honestly admit it, they resort to sour words to vent their frustration."

Uzuki nodded slightly. She understood what Shiraishi meant. Those seemingly harsh words were actually just walls people built to protect their unfulfilled dreams.

"Ah, but what my friend said is also very pertinent." Uzuki suddenly changed the subject, her smile showing a hint of relief, "Because you can't be an idol forever."

"Yeah..." Shiraishi responded. He didn't refute it because he knew it was the truth. But he also believed that no matter what the future held, Uzuki would continue to shine in her own way.

"That's the reaction. Generally speaking, wouldn't you encourage the other party that it's not true?" Mao Yue teased with a smile.

"Do you want me to encourage you?" Bai Shi asked back, his eyes full of sincerity.

"I feel like I'll be unhappy if Xiao Qian says that now." Mao Yue shook her head, a hint of cunning hidden in her smile. "573 If that's the case, I should have said it earlier."

"Why?" Bai Shi asked curiously.

"Because if I do that, Yueyue might lose her composure and tell me the truth." Maoyue said mischievously, but her eyes revealed a hint of seriousness.

Shiraishi smiled. He knew that Mao Yue was using this method to hide her emotions. He patted Mao Yue's shoulder gently, as if to tell her that no matter what happened, he would be here to support her and accompany her.

"Xiao Qian, you are very mean." Mao Yue said with a smile, but her tone was full of warmth and gratitude.

"It's not that bad." Shiraishi replied with a smile, "It's just that you're so good at pretending to be mean that I feel like you might accidentally say something."

"For example?" Mao Yue asked curiously.

"Let me think...like the martial arts hall is far away," Shiraishi said casually, but he knew it was just a joke. However, Uzuki's voice drifted lightly on the wind, as if she truly spoke from the heart.
