Chapter 136

Having a current girlfriend but still remembering his ex-girlfriend clearly made Nanxiang have no choice but to apologize to Yamada Ryo.

He turned around again: "Let's continue."

"Um."

Rikka Takarata nodded.

"It has always been her dream to become a director of special effects films and to one day write a special effects script that belongs only to her."

I see.

When he heard this, Nanxiang suddenly realized.

Why is she who always disguises herself so delicately willing to communicate with him?

Why was she willing to stoop to a false 'boyfriend and boyfriend' relationship with him when she was clearly hostile to him?

It turns out that everything comes from this reason.

But--

"Although I feel very sorry and sorry, it has nothing to do with me anymore."

Nanxiang Shi shook his head and spoke.

Yes.

That has nothing to do with him anymore.

Although the words were said very ruthlessly, in fact it was true.

He once gave all his heart to that girl with short pink and purple hair.

But sincerely for his positive contribution.

The girl with short pink and purple hair chose to refuse.

She never showed her true feelings in front of him, nor did she show a real smile.

The close contact with him was just to take advantage of his writing strengths, nothing more.

He had never entered her heart.

but--

"Is the truth really what Nanxiang thinks?"

Rikka Takarata asked softly.

She looked at Nanxiang with her royal blue eyes.

His expression was as sad as the last time he saw her at Ocha High School.

She slowly told Akane Shinjo's situation over the years.

[After graduating from Ocha High School, Shinjo Akane was admitted to the film and television major of the Faculty of Arts of Nihon University, which is well-known in Japan, with the score second only to you. 】

[There, she continued to move up and continued to learn everything about film writing. 】

"After I graduated, I met Akane a few times."

"But at that time, she was no longer as lively and energetic as she was in Ocha High School."

Rikka Takarata fell into memories,

Studying at university is boring.

And Akane Shinjo, who is devoted to the path of special photography scripts, is even more so.

Although she still had a smile on her face and acted the same as usual.

But as a good friend, Rikka Takarata could clearly feel Akane Shinjo's inner fatigue.

When people get tired, they talk more.

At that time, what Akane Shinjou and Rikka Takarata talked about the most... was probably what happened in Nango.

Every time I talk about Nanxiang Shi when I was in high school.

Akane Shinjou, who was a little tired, always seemed to regain her energy.

Soon, Akane Shinjo, who officially graduated from university, officially entered the film and television industry.

Getting busier at work.

Let Baoda Rikka rarely see her again.

By the time he saw her again, it was already too late.

She died at home after taking medication.

While sorting out the belongings.

Rikka Takarata noticed countless thick stacks of scripts and manuscripts that were stacked on top of each other, rejected and ignored by others.

Similarly, she finally understood the mental pressure that Akane Shinjou had endured over the years.

"It's not your fault, Miss Baoduo."

Nanxiang Shi gently comforted Rikka Takarata, who had tears coming out of her eyes again.

He could probably understand what was going to happen next.

The Japanese film and television industry is unlike the Japanese literary industry, where talent and talent alone are completely insufficient.

Without the guidance of qualified seniors and decent interpersonal relationships, it is impossible to go further - unless your talent is truly beyond ordinary people's imagination, and you can change things on your own like you did in the Nanxiang simulation before. The whole pattern.

A girl's special photography dream, in such a big environment, is just a seemingly gorgeous bubble in the water, which is fleeting just when someone touches it with hands.

Probably because I can't accept this fact.

The girl who always carefully disguised herself chose to leave the world in this way.

"No, that's my problem."

Baoda Rikka sighed heavily. At this time, she had lost all her strength:

"If I had been more serious and tried harder to persuade you, maybe the two of you would have continued, and Akane probably wouldn't have..."

"This has nothing to do with Shinjou and I, and of course it has nothing to do with Miss Takarata. It is Shinjou's own choice."

Nanxiang stood up, touched Yamada Ryo's head, and motioned for her to wait outside the cafe.

She, who had always been free, was extremely well-behaved at this moment, nodded and left.

"No, it is related. Every time, every time Akane and I talk about you, her face always shows other emotions."

Almost every time when talking to Akane Shinjo, when talking about Nango.

Her beautiful face, which has always been good at hiding and disguising, will also be slightly regretful.

It was as if even that delicately disguised smile was tinged with some shadow.

"That's just speculation on your part."

Nanxiang Shi looked out the window of the coffee shop.

Pedestrians outside the cafe window are still walking. As the heating in the room rises, hot and cold alternate, blurring the scenery outside the window and distorting people's sight.

"This is not a guess! This is a well-founded fact!"

Rikka Takarata's mood suddenly became excited, and she probably thought of something, and she spoke: "In Akane's belongings, on her mobile phone, there is a text message she edited before she died and wanted to send it to you! She has never forgotten you!"

When it comes to this.

All her grief, all her sadness came to an abrupt end, suddenly came to a standstill.

It's like feeling sad to the point where you can't cry anymore.

She just silently took out a cracked mobile phone.

On top of a screen where everything comes to a standstill.

There is an edited text message.

It was a blank text message with no content.

The recipient of the letter is Nanxiang Shi.

[No one can understand the mood of Akane Shinjo who edited this text message before she died. 】

[Similarly, no one can understand Rikka Takarata's mood and thoughts as she lay on the table and cried loudly after that. 】

[You just looked at the blank, edited text message and sighed a little. 】

[Perhaps as early as Ocha's high school days, you really touched her heart by accident, but she was good at disguising and hid it. 】

[Perhaps she has been tempted a long time ago. 】

[Or maybe everything is just an illusion of Rikka Takarata. 】

[The edited text message she accidentally encountered was just a coincidence of her unconscious struggle before her death. 】

[However, there is such a line in the special photography script she left behind. 】

[These are the words that the villain Weird, who was completely sad and turned into a monster, said to the messenger of justice who came to defeat him. 】

["I once had someone who really liked me, but that person disappeared forever because of my ignorance, stupidity and arrogance."]

but--

"It's too late to say that now."

After sending Rikka Takarata, whose mood had stabilized, out of the cafe, Nanxiang Shi spoke.

"Maybe so. It's indeed too late to say this, but Nango-san, do you really think that you have never touched Akane's heart?"

Standing at the door, Rikka Takarata said the same words as she did a few years ago.

And these were the last words I heard from Rikka Takarata when I was in Nanxiang.

Nanxiang Toki and Yamada Ryo, who were standing at the door of the cafe, watched her leave. They also saw cumulonimbus clouds piling up in the sky.

The clouds at dusk are mixed with crimson red.

When I was in Nanxiang, my head hovered for a long time.

[You held a wedding with Ryo Yamada later, and your married life was very happy. 】

[But apart from happiness, you will occasionally think of that girl. 】

[The girl who always pretends to be herself and never shows her true feelings to others. 】

[Have I ever really fallen in love with you at a certain time and place? 】

[If that blank text message was really sent to you, what would it be like? 】

[You don’t understand, and maybe you won’t understand in the future. 】

【You will never see her again. 】

[Simulation ends. 】

"..." Nanxiang Shi.

no.

Looking at the simulation results, Nanxiang Shi was silent for a long time, and it took a long time before he came back to his senses.

He stood up silently.

He sat down again.

I couldn't help but scratch my hair with my hands.

His hands clenched inexplicably again.

In the eyes of others, he seemed to have a feeling of being restless and hating that iron could not become steel.

Finally, he let out a long breath.

woman--

What a hassle.

Yes.

This is how I really felt when I was in Nanxiang.
