Chapter 38 Section five

There are not many chairs prepared for buffet-style parties. Kyoko and Kyoko sat side by side on the resting chairs set up along the wall.Not face to face, not looking at each other, each other only looking at the front. The first to speak was Xiangzi again this time. "I've always missed you.—but I always thought you'd never see me again." "Actually, I didn't intend to come." Today's son answered.There was no smile on his face that he showed to the whole class just now, but suddenly changed, as cold as ice. Xiangzi tilted the red wine glass in his hand, and replied, "I think so." Kyoko was silent, but nodded.

"Aren't you with Asai?" "The tram doesn't have the right time, she seems to be late. She will call me when she arrives at the hotel. Lingling is looking forward to today." "--so." In Kyoko's hand, the glass of red wine was shaking.She was just sitting, but her figure was dazzling like a scene in a movie. The students who had gathered around Kyoko just now completely fell silent and were watching from afar.It was as if there was a tacit understanding that no one approached this corner. "I have something to ask you. I'm here to ask about it today." Said Today.

"What's up?" "I've always found it incredible. Why did you join the class reunion?" The question was unexpected.Xiangzi was surprised and looked at her face.Impatiently, today's son said again: "It's not sarcasm, it's pure curiosity." Kyoko pulled back his shoulders and looked at Xiangzi: "How could a person of your status...?" Finally understand the meaning of the problem.While comprehending, she was startled, she smiled wryly and shook her head: "You flatter me too much, I don't deserve to be said that." "You don't understand, do you? What kind of eyes did this place look at you and exclude you in the past."

Today's son's voice is unreserved, naked.She no longer pretended to be a respectful voice.Xiangzi nodded. "I haven't forgotten." "Then you also understand what it means to come back here, right? I have never understood. I have heard about your current job. I have also read the interview with the F newspaper." "The above interview is all bullshit. Sorry." Whatever you say, it sounds like an excuse.She can only apologize, and she has come here with this awareness. The interview in the local newspaper also approached her because she was "a classmate of the actress KYOKO".She didn't know it when she first agreed, but halfway through the interview, she found out from the way the interviewer asked questions.It was designed from the beginning, and it is impossible to complete a report without talking about KYOKO.

She did something that betrayed her self-esteem.But it is also troublesome to refuse. "It doesn't matter." Today's son lowered his eyes. "What I'm trying to say is that you seem to have found new value well in a new place. Why are you clinging to this kind of place so desperately?" "Just like you don't take this place seriously, so should I. Do you mean that?" Xiangzi asked, but today the son was silent.There was a hesitant silence for a second or two before nodding.After a while, Kyoko let out a surprised voice: "Are you going to run?"

"what?" "I heard you held a large full-year reunion, and it immediately occurred to me. You have some pressing reason, you must lay a good foundation locally. Don't you?" "how is this possible?" It's ridiculous - she was about to laugh, but found that there was no smile in Kyoko's eyes when she said that.The tone was downright serious, and he snapped angrily: "I'm not joking. Otherwise it's really inexplicable. If there's no need to improve, you—" Seeing her angry expression for a moment, Xiangzi couldn't help laughing anymore.She didn't even think about running for the election.She laughed and covered her mouth.

"What's so funny?" Unlike the ruthless actresses on TV, Jinzi, a former classmate, puffed out her cheeks.Doesn't look happy, but it's a nice look. "Sorry." Xiangzi smiled and waved his hands.She inhaled to calm her breath, but her voice suddenly softened.She recalled what she had just said today.For the purpose of going to the next level. Xiangzi shook his head: "That's because you are too flattering. I'm sorry, I'm just like this. No matter what I do, I can't get rid of the class status that you have lost interest in." Kyoko watched Xiangzi's eyes in silence.The color of the pupils is both deep and pitch black, as if to see through the bottom of the heart.His awe-inspiring eyes seemed sharper than before.She realized that she couldn't escape and looked back at her, then replied in a low voice:

"I want to be downright embarrassing. I want to be here." It was only when she said it that she realized it for the first time.It turned out to be the case.She was determined that since she had fallen to this point, she should face upright and face the injury.Some people can measure the meaning of the past only by being bound.That's who I am, and that's my minimum self-esteem. "I don't understand." Kyoko said dumbfounded. "Probably." Xiang Zi narrowed his eyes and said. "I don't think you will understand." The two were silent and drank red wine for a while.When the two cups were almost empty, Kyoko suddenly said:

"School reunion." She turned her face away.she continued. "My family didn't receive the notice of the class reunion for the whole school year. I heard that you told everyone that you invited me to be the guest of honor at the class reunion for the whole school year." "I commissioned it through your firm." Xiangzi replied, Kyoko's eyes widened in surprise. "Isn't it natural?" Xiangzi replied. "Even if you are an old classmate, you are still an entertainer. If you are entrusted with giving a speech, it is the rule to do so through proper channels, right?"

Today's eyes are still open.As if struck by lightning, he maintained the same posture.After a while she said: "—I thought old classmates and fellow countrymen were not polite." "I don't want to be like that." Xiangzi didn't say that she understood this feeling.It's just that it's not easy for everyone to recognize their own faces, and they have something in common.She originally planned to pay a price in line with the market and invite her through formal procedures. Today, the back that was already straight became even straighter.The next "I'm sorry" she said was a little lower than before.

"There have been a few times in the past, when my firm turned me down without telling me the content of the job. Especially small cases such as speeches that have nothing to do with acting." Xiangzi found her voice shaking when she whispered this.Today's son looked up: "Sorry, I've been misunderstanding." "It's okay, I'm used to it." Xiangzi glanced away, and smiled with crooked lips, but today's face was tense.Xiangzi accepted her gaze with his side face, and drank the last red wine in the glass.Then she said: "Is that what you want to ask?" Something heavy slipped down his throat along with the liquor he drank.Today's child did not answer.After a while, "Now," she said quietly. "Do you want to see Hinata?" She didn't have the confidence to control her expression. Her fingers were stiff, and in an instant she exerted force on her wrist.If she didn't do this, she would let the cup in her hand drop to the floor and break.Gritting her teeth and blinking her eyes, she couldn't answer. "I saw Handa.—I went to her play last week and had dinner with her." The memory that should have been dusty, even after ten years, was able to bring her back to such a girlish feeling, making her cursed. "I heard about it at that time. She said that you were very angry because of Hinata's ridiculous rumors, and you had a conflict with Yuki Mikami, which aroused the resentment of their group." "Because that's really ridiculous and boring." "He's in Africa now." The sound of the heart beating faster and faster became louder.The throbbing was so violent that it was almost audible.The fundus of the eye burns like a fire. "He really believed in greening the desert there. He's still the same, isn't he?" "yes." Nodding his head, emotion welled up in his chest.If you face forward and lower your head slightly, tears seem to be about to roll out.Since losing everything that day, she should have stopped crying a long time ago.She nodded patiently. "He's been saying things like that ever since." "Everyone seems to be very concerned about whether I didn't come to the class reunion because I was concerned about Yangping. They thought I was trapped there and couldn't get out." A picture of Amaterasu Osho in seclusion in Iwato came to mind.Today Zi raised the corners of his mouth and smiled faintly. "It's actually the opposite," she said. "If you want me to say it, everyone is trapped. Especially you, you are deeply trapped and cannot extricate yourself." Kyoko's eyes didn't look comforting or mocking, but they looked like both. "Hinata and I don't care about it anymore. He said too much to you before, but he is still worried about it. You should meet and have a good talk. Otherwise, you won't be able to get out." "As I said just now, I'm not someone who can climb up. I'm sorry, I really don't have that kind of strength." "Really?" Staring like a stare, sharp eyes pierced up.It takes a lot of willpower to confront those eyes.Xiangzi looked back at her as if encouraging herself. Today's son said.It was a contemptuous and forceful voice: "You are Kyoko Takama, right? The Kyoko I know is not someone who ends like this." "'KYOKO' is your name." Kyoko smiled, folded her arms and said. "I can't be as strong as you." "Do you know why my stage name is 'KYOKO'?" Kyoko said: "Because I am very happy." She said clearly with a firm voice. Xiangzi was surprised, dumbfounded, waiting for her next words.Kyoko went on to say: "I'm very happy to have my name back from you. At that time, I clearly thought about it, and I would never lose to you. It's not someone else, it's me who thought so." This is surprising.Holding their breath in the classroom, looking for a place to stay beside them, what are they actually thinking? ——Xiang Zi didn't even think about it. You should have known long ago that I am the "Queen" who is ridiculed by everyone. "Story." While strongly looking forward to it, she also gave up her heart.Deciding that the story and events are one-sided, "it's all over." Today's expression twisted.Whether it's in a drama or a movie, it's probably the first time I've seen an expression that I haven't seen even in high school. "Hinata and I have already let it end.—Here, I say Kyoko." Touching his own name in the same way as before, the place that he had been reluctant to face up to now appeared before his eyes.Xiangzi wanted to bow his head, but it was too late.Kyoko took her hand and said: "There is no door at all." Amaterasu Omiya's hand appeared slightly from the crack of the opened door. Immediately the gods grabbed the hand and closed Iwato.In order that the sun goddess can no longer hide in it.The male god said: Never return. Bite your lip. According to the myth, Amaterasu Omikami, who was locked in Iwato, heard the goddess Tianyu who was dancing outside and was singing with the gods, so he opened the door to peek outside.Because I wonder if there is a god more noble than her standing there instead?Is it anxiety or jealousy that lingers in her heart? The day I retreated alone in the sports equipment room. She knew that she was not allowed to sit forever like the sun in its unmoving position.She saw exactly where the sun was, and the shadow of the sun, in the blinding sunlight that flooded the gymnasium floor.where the door is.What locked it was——. will i be freeAre you really free this time? "I'll tell you one thing. Hinata and I didn't take it to heart.—Lingling too." Xiangzi looked up silently.Today Zi shook his head: "Lingling changed schools later, it was really because of family factors. She didn't run away. What you did didn't hurt her or me at all." "But..." She realized that her voice had become weak for the first time.Kyoko's tough tone didn't allow her to turn her head away. "It's up to you to decide whether to apologize today. But no one is trapped there anymore." The chest that has been oppressed for a long time seems to have found a way to breathe.The feeling of gradually becoming lighter made her feel unwilling.Throat warmed up. "she……" "Ok." "Are you happy now?" "Ok." Tianzi nodded, and when Xiangzi saw this, a deep sense of relief gradually appeared on his face, as well as an expression of crying and laughter.She could no longer hide it. "Great." "Other things, you can ask me directly." Kyoko took out her flickering phone from her small party bag. "It seems that she just arrived too." She stood up and answered to the phone pressed to her ear: "I'm going to the entrance now." She looked back at Xiangzi and stretched out her hand in a hurry. "Let's go." Facing that white and slender hand, even so he still hesitated.Seeing this, Jinzi tilted her head and smiled: "Don't you want to apologize to her?" Seeing that face, Xiangzi could only smile wryly. "Yeah." She nodded and stood up slowly.After going out, Kyoko put the mobile phone into the purse, and at the same time took out a piece of paper from it and handed it to Xiangzi.Xiangzi took it silently, opened it, and almost collapsed from her knees. "His contact method." It was Kiyose's words. Her feet seemed to be glued to the floor, and she could no longer take half a step.The paper in his hand trembled with his fingers pinching it.Her vision was distorted and she was suffocating. Today, the child narrowed his eyes.Her hand stroked Kyoko's back. "Let's go." I'll never see her again - abruptly, but this time she really thinks. The exit of the class reunion meeting place.Through the harsh daylight, the door is now open.
