Today is a day off.

For students, it is like this.

Well, most students.

But Ruby is not one of them.

After all, as an idol, she has much more to do than Duanmu Huai.

"There is a LIVE this afternoon... Will you come to watch it?"

"It depends. I will go as long as I am free."

"Aren't you free all day, sister?"

Looking at Duanmu Huai lying on the sofa watching the news, Ruby couldn't help but complain.

"It's nothing like me. I am busy with work every day. I either go to class or go to a concert..."

"If you have nothing to do, you can bite a lighter. It was you who said you wanted to revive B Komachi. Keep working hard."

Duanmu Huai waved his hand.

"I'm going to go see Kurokawa Akane later."

"I haven't seen Akane-san in the office these past two days. Is she sick?"

"I think so, so I'm going to go see her."

"Then please say hello to Akane-san for me."

While busy putting on makeup, Ruby also spoke up. She and Kurokawa Akane have a pretty good relationship.

"I will."

"Ah, it's already this late, I'll go first!"

Accompanied by the sound of ping-pong, Ruby rushed out of the house in a hurry, while Duanmu Huai shook his head helplessly and looked at the TV news in front of him again. Coincidentally, the TV was broadcasting a popular idol's love affair exposure incident.

"…………As an idol, I was photographed like this. It was because I was not careful. I apologize to everyone here."

On the TV screen, a girl bowed her head and apologized to everyone, and at the same time, flashes of light were flashing one after another. Then, the screen switched to an interview with passers-by. On the screen, a fat guy wearing a pained shirt, holding a light stick and wearing a headscarf was crying while being interviewed.

"C-zi, be happy! Although you have graduated, you are still my lifelong supporter!"

When faced with idols exposing their love affairs, some people will offer their blessings, while others will have different opinions.

"This is a betrayal, a betrayal of fans!"

A fan who was as thin as a monkey faced the camera, indignant.

"I still remember that when the first photo was taken, she said that it was not her at all! That was a year ago! But now that she was photographed entering the hotel, she finally admitted it, right! Ah, I am so angry! We spent so much money on her! But she turned around and threw herself into the arms of other men! Is this forgivable? Absolutely not forgivable!"

"…………………………"

Looking at the interview on the screen, Duanmu Huai shrugged his shoulders. Idols are like this. Of course, it doesn't mean that idols can't fall in love. After all, free love is a human right. But the problem lies in this mechanism. The Japanese idol mechanism is ultimately about selling girlfriends. In order to make money, idols are made into the dream lovers of fans. In this case, what fans spend money to buy is possession.

Isn't that what is called "pushing"? Pushing an idol, treating him as your own woman, and spending money on your own woman is natural. But because of this, betrayal is even more unforgivable.

In comparison, actors are much better. Even if there are any love scandals, as long as they do not violate social morality, no one will mind too much.

But idols are not so good. Once a love scandal breaks out, it is almost a fatal blow to their careers.

From a certain perspective, this can only be blamed on the system. After all, the idol system sells boyfriend fans and girlfriend fans, because this is the fastest way to make money.

But at the same time, the backlash is also very serious.

The good result is just graduation, and then mediocre.

The bad result... just look at Hoshino Ai.

Ruby is still a little girl now. She has never thought about falling in love. I don't know what will happen in the future.

But with the example of her ex-mother, she should know how to keep a distance from this.

Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai retracted his thoughts and turned off the TV.

Let's go see Kurokawa Akane.

The Kurokawa family was not unfamiliar to Duanmu Huai, after all, he had been there once during the previous commotion. So this time Duanmu Huai also went up to the house with familiarity, then rang the doorbell, and then heard Kurokawa Akane's voice coming from the intercom.

"Hello, who is this?"

"It's me."

"Hey? Xiao, Xiao Ai? Wait a minute, I'll open the door right away..."

Hearing Duanmu Huai's answer, Kurokawa Akane couldn't help but get a little nervous. She hurriedly opened the door and welcomed Duanmu Huai into the house.

Kurokawa Akane was only wearing pajamas at home, and she didn't look bad. Duanmu Huai looked at her carefully and didn't see that she looked sick.

"How do you feel?"

"Fortunately, is the rehearsal going well?"

"It's going well, but you look like this now..."

"Ah, I've already told the director, fortunately, there are not many scenes for Shaoji... but..."

After pouring a cup of tea for Duanmu Huai, Kurokawa Akane sat opposite him.

"To be honest, I haven't slept well these past few days, and I'm in a bad mood..."

"Is it because of the tension from the stage play?"

Duanmu Huai asked curiously, and Kurokawa Akane shook his head.

"That's not the case, it's just that I feel a little bit..."

"Somewhat?"

"No, nothing."

Kurokawa Akane looked at Duanmu Huai, wanting to say something, but in the end she didn't. She raised her head cautiously and looked at Duanmu Huai.

"Xiao Ai, do you sleep well at night?"

"Hmm? I sleep well every day, and I've been having good dreams these days."

"Is that so..."

Hearing Duanmu Huai's casual answer, Kurokawa Akane sighed inwardly. She originally thought that Duanmu Huai was cursed and she was also infected. Although this sounds fantastic, considering that the dreams she had every night these days were unscientific, it was not particularly strange.

But now it seems that this is not the case. At least from Duanmu Huai's expression, he doesn't look like he is troubled at all.

"So you're not feeling unwell physically, but you're just not feeling well mentally?"

"Well... it's indeed a mental problem. Physically... I went to the hospital for a checkup, and the doctor said there's nothing wrong."

"Is that so...?"

Duanmu Huai felt that Kurokawa Akane was a little listless, as if she was very tired. How should I put it... this look was a little familiar, like Irisviel, Medea, Freya, Norn, Xiaolongnu, etc., sometimes they couldn't get up the next day, and they would be like this.

But Kurokawa Akane doesn't seem to have a boyfriend, right? I haven't heard that she's dating anyone.

"Then, do you want to go out for a walk?"

Duanmu Huai retracted his gaze from Kurokawa Akane and suggested.

"Go for a walk?"

"Yes, Ruby and the others are going to participate in JIF today and perform on stage as an idol group."

"Ah, speaking of which... I did see news about Ruby and the others recently, and B Komachi is working very hard."

Kurokawa Akane was also enlightened when he heard this. As Kurokawa Akane said, Ruby's B Komachi is still very popular on the Internet. On the one hand, because of Duanmu Huai's rigorous training, Ruby's singing and dancing are all professional, much better than those ordinary idols. In addition, MEM is a master at manipulating network traffic, and Fengbin Kazuka is also a healthy girl full of cheerfulness and vitality.

In addition, B Komachi was also considered a legendary idol group back then. With this name, it reappeared in people's vision, and its performance was not bad, so it naturally attracted a lot of attention. I heard from MEM that B Komachi's subscription has exceeded 50,000 now, and JIF also sent an invitation to B Komachi because of their fame.

"Indeed, Ruby's performance is not bad. It is quite successful to have such results just starting out."

Duanmu Huai nodded.

"So, do you want to go and see it together? I think it would be much better to go out and walk around than to stay in the house."

"That's... true."

Facing Duanmu Huai's invitation, Kurokawa Akane hesitated for a moment, and then nodded in agreement.

"It's just right. I also want to go out and relax."

So, the two decided to go to the JIF venue to watch the idol performance together.

But soon, Duanmu Huai regretted it.

"Although I invited you, I still want to ask, is it too late to go back now?"

Looking at the sea of ​​people in front of him, Duanmu Huai's face turned pale.

"Xiao Ai doesn't like crowded places?"

"I hate it very much."

Duanmu Huai was speaking the truth. What bothered him most was the noisy and crowded places. For example, at the previous concert of Robin in Xianzhou, Duanmu Huai slept all the way from the beginning to the end. One of the reasons was that he really couldn't stand the environment with too many people. Fortunately, he had a VIP room to slack off at that time.

But here...

"Wu...I can't see anything from so far away."

Kurokawa Akane raised his hand, put it on his forehead and looked at the stage in front of him. Under the lights, he could only barely see the clothes others were wearing, but he couldn't even see their faces.

"Although it's the same with drama, it's not that noisy after all."

"Of course, if there's shouting below while the show is going on, it's simply a nightmare."

Duanmu Huai tiptoed. With his current height, he couldn't even see what was in front of him in the crowd. Seeing this, Kurokawa Akane couldn't help but chuckle.

"Do you want my help?"

"No, let's find a place with fewer people."

"It's impossible to squeeze in now."

What Kurokawa Akane said was right. There was already a huge crowd of people under the stage. Even if they wanted to squeeze in, it was impossible.

"No, I have a better way."

Duanmu Huai said, looking around, then stretched out his hand and hugged Kurokawa Akane's waist.

"Close your eyes."

"Hey? Oh..."

Although she didn't know what Duanmu Huai was going to do, Heichuan Akane still closed her eyes obediently. The next moment, she heard a gust of wind in her ears. At the same time, her whole body became lighter, as if floating in the air, but only a moment later, she felt the ground under her feet again.

At the same time, Duanmu Huai's voice sounded.

"Okay."

Heichuan Akane opened her eyes curiously, and then...

"Woo wow!"

It's no wonder that Heichuan Akane screamed, because now she is no longer standing on the ground with the crowd surging, but in mid-air!

Strictly speaking, it's not in mid-air, but in the gap on a large billboard in front of the venue. From here, you can clearly see the stage, which can be regarded as a special seat!

"Xiao, Xiao Ai, what's going on? How did you bring me here?"

"It's simple, I jumped up."

"Jumped up?"

Faced with Kurokawa Akane's question, Duanmu Huai did not answer. Kurokawa Akane only saw her jump and instantly jumped down from the four-meter-high billboard. Before Kurokawa Akane screamed again, the petite figure disappeared in the crowd below. Then the next moment, a white light and shadow flew up along the billboard pole two or three times, and then Duanmu Huai flipped in the air and stood steadily in front of Kurokawa Akane.

"Look, it's like this."

"Woo wow............"

Seeing this scene, Kurokawa Akane was completely confused. Although actors on the stage would also make similar movements. But that was done by hanging steel wires, but there must be no such device here!

"How did Xiao Ai do it?"

"Kung Fu."

"Can Kung Fu do this?"

"Of course, if you are a strong person, flying over the eaves and walking on the walls are basic operations. It is not a problem for me to go up and down like this."

Duanmu Huai was not lying. In the world of martial arts, people with good Qinggong can move faster than those riding horses.

"Amazing, I want to learn it too..."

"You have to train from a young age. It's too late for you now."

"Wu... Xiao Ai is too much. I'm only sixteen years old."

Hearing Duanmu Huai's answer, Kurokawa Akane looked at him angrily with a puffy face. However, Duanmu Huai didn't respond to Kurokawa Akane at all, just looking at the stage in front.

"Oh, just in time, Ruby and the others are on stage."

"…………………………"

Forget it, I'll settle the score with you later.

Kurokawa Akane turned his head and looked at the stage not far away. At this moment, Ruby, MEM, Fengbin and Xiang also came out and waved happily to the audience below. As they moved, the sea of ​​light sticks below also danced, and the cheers were deafening.

"They are really popular."

Looking at the reaction at the venue, Kurokawa Akane couldn't help but sigh, while Duanmu Huai didn't say anything, just staring at Ruby.

At this moment, she was singing and dancing under the spotlight, and she looked very happy.

To be honest, Duanmu Huai no longer regards this sister as a reborn, after all, sometimes she even behaves younger than her current age, but this love for idols has never changed.

"Ruby is really dazzling."

Standing next to Duanmu Huai at this moment, Kurokawa Akane couldn't help but sigh.

"Although MEM and Fengbin Kazuka are both very cute, Ruby is the most dazzling one. The way she enjoys everything makes people feel better just by looking at her."

"……………………"

Staring at Ruby, Duanmu Huai was silent for a long time.

"A girl I knew before also had similar ideas to Ruby."

"Is she going to be an idol?"

"No, she wants to be the cutest girl in the world."

Duanmu Huai couldn't help but chuckle when he said this.

"I still remember what she said, cuteness is buried in everyone's heart, a dazzling light that can be blessed by everyone, a dream that will always be pursued, and the love she conveys to everyone. She hopes that everyone's life can be filled with cuteness, so she will stand on the stage... Well, Ruby now has that feeling."

Of course, if Duanmu Huai said, Ruby is still a little bit inferior in terms of cuteness.

After all, Karen-chan is the cutest in the world.

Duanmu Huai stared at Ruby, and didn't notice that Heichuan Akane was staring at him curiously at this moment.

Who is Xiao Ai talking about?

The longer she knows Duanmu Huai, the more incredible Heichuan Akane finds it.

She once talked to Ruby privately, and Ruby told Heichuan Akane that Duanmu Huai had almost no friends since he was a child. Sometimes even her sister was worried that her sister would be isolated. However, from every casual talk of Duanmu Huai, it can be detected that he does have friends, and the relationship is not ordinary.

But... With such a close friend, even the sister doesn't know?

And Heichuan Akane can be sure that the girl Duanmu Huai is talking about now is definitely not the one he talked about when chatting with him before, because the tone is different.

When he talked about the girl who turned her face as fast as turning a book, his tone was a little helpless and speechless intimacy.

When talking about this lovely girl, it was a bit cheerful and joyful. At least it is certain that the other party left a very happy impression in Duanmu Huai's heart.

However, Kurokawa Akane did not ask, because she had a feeling that even if she asked, she would not get an answer.

The resurrected B Komachi's performance on the stage was very successful, which could be heard from the thunderous encores when they left the stage. After watching the performance, Duanmu Huai also took Kurokawa Akane to evacuate decisively - after all, if people found out that they were watching a show on a billboard, it would be troublesome.

After that, the two took the train back home.

"Bang... Bang... Bang..."

Holding the handrail, looking at the sunset outside the window, and hearing the crowded and noisy voices of the crowd around, Kurokawa Akane couldn't help but feel a little nervous. She felt that this scene seemed familiar, as if she had encountered something similar not long ago. But when Kurokawa Akane thought about it carefully, the scene quietly disappeared from her mind, and she couldn't remember what happened at all.

However, even if she couldn't remember it, her body seemed to still remember it. At this moment, Kurokawa Akane could feel that her body was tense—just like the instinctive reaction of being tensed unconsciously just by looking at the needle when being injected.

Like waiting—no, expecting something.

Her heart was pounding, nervousness, expectation, uneasiness, shame, all kinds of emotions mixed together, making Kurokawa Akane's brain blurry.

"What's wrong? Akane?"

Looking at Kurokawa Akane, Duanmu Huai was somewhat surprised.

"Your face is a little red."

"Hey?"

Hearing Duanmu Huai's explanation, Heichuan Akane couldn't help but reach out and cover his face.

"Isn't it the setting sun?"

"Maybe, but you do look a little weird now..."

"Squeak!"

At this moment, the train suddenly turned sharply, and Heichuan Akane was completely unprepared at this moment and fell straight towards the window.

"Be careful!"

At this time, Duanmu Huai, who was standing next to Heichuan Akane, also hurriedly stretched out a hand and wrapped it around Heichuan Akane's waist. At the last moment, he pulled her and prevented Heichuan Akane's head from coming into close contact with the window. However, even so, because of the overcrowding, Heichuan Akane's chest was still tightly pressed against the window, and Duanmu Huai was squeezed behind her.

At this moment, Heichuan Akane felt it.

The same feeling as in the dream, at this moment, was like a fire, igniting the impulse in the body.

I had a dream today. The first dream was similar to exploring ruins in the Elder Scrolls. Then I met a person in the ruins. He said that he was abandoned and had been trapped in the ruins for ten years. Then I took out my mobile phone to call for help. Then I turned around and saw a group of tourists climbing the mountain on the other side of the window. There was even a hotel at the foot of the mountain... The atmosphere was so awkward that it almost froze.

Why did I have such a weird dream... The first half was very Tomb Raider-like... But the second half was completely indescribable...
