Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 65 065. Infinite Possibilities
When the phone rang, Shinichi Iwahashi was sorting out the program schedule.He divided his attention, took the receiver, and said in a business-like tone: "Hello, I am Yanqiao made by Watanabe."

The other end of the phone was silent and did not speak.

"Hello?" he asked again.

There was still silence on the other end of the phone.Yanqiao Shen thought it was probably a prank call, and was about to hang up, thought for a while, and asked a third time: "How are you?"

The other person finally spoke, "Yanqiao-san, I am..."

A trembling girl's voice sounded like she was only in her teens.

"Yes, please speak."

After another pause, the person on the other end of the phone reported his name, "I'm Yukiko Okada."

"Huh?" Yanqiao Shen was taken aback.

Okada Yukiko called him?No matter how you think about it, it's impossible.He wondered if he had encountered the legendary phone scam.But the voice on the phone is a bit familiar, and the age seems to be right...

Although the ancestor of telephone fraud was in RB, it would not be so coincidental that he used Yukiko Okada's name to deceive someone from the entertainment agency, and he was also someone who had met and talked to her.

Thinking of this, Iwahashi Shinichi continued, "Yes, Okada-san. Excuse me?"

"..." There was silence on the other end of the phone.

Okada Yukiko heaved a sigh of relief when the phone was connected.However, the cold voice from the receiver at first made her unable to speak.It wasn't until Yanqiao Shenyi took the trouble to ask for the third time that she was sure that the person opposite was indeed the person who encouraged her.

However, after reporting her name, Yanqiao Shen asked her what was the matter, and she couldn't continue.She wanted to say "thank you" to Yanqiao Shinichi, but his gentle and kind treatment made her feel shaken again.

She wanted to say thank you to Iwahashi Shinichi for the last time, what about after saying thank you?

Iwahashi Shinichi waited patiently.

"I got your business card from Hayakawa-san." Okada Yukiko confirmed her identity as soon as she opened her mouth.

She glanced outside the office and pulled down half of the blinds to block the view from the outside, but she could still see figures walking up and down the corridor, she lowered her voice, "I will always remember Yanqiao-san's encouragement that day .”

"So, I want to say thank you." On the other end of the phone, Okada Yukiko's voice was a little weak.

"Did you call on purpose because of this?" Yanqiao Shinichi was a little surprised, he didn't expect that her popular idol would remember a casual sentence in her heart for so long.

"If that's the case, I also want to thank Okada-san."

"Huh?" Thank her?
"Yes, thank you for calling specifically."

The phone fell silent again.Yanqiao Shinichi felt that this silence made him feel more heavy than embarrassment.Is it just to say thank you for the sudden call after such a long time?

"That," he asked tentatively, "Does Okada-san have anything to say?"

The other end of the phone still didn't speak.

"If there is, I will listen." Iwahashi Shinichi finished the sentence slowly, then closed his mouth and waited.

The object he was waiting for was not the cheerful and smiling idol Okada Yukiko on the stage that others saw, but the confused Okada Yukiko who was an ordinary person when he met by chance that day.

"Iwahashi-san..." Finally, Okada Yukiko spoke again.

When Shinichi Yanqiao said that she would listen to her, she suddenly realized that before deciding to commit suicide again, she must call this person who once gave her that sincere warmth and made her feel grateful. people's true intentions.

Not to settle the last concern, but to expect him to reach out.

"What should I do, Yanqiao-san?" Tears welled up in his eyes as he spoke.

This is the first time she shed tears since she committed suicide and was rescued until now.Shinichi Yanqiao on the other end of the phone responded and waited patiently, like a hand extended to her.

"I'm very scared, I've caused a catastrophe..." She tightly grasped the warm palm.

Yanqiao Shinichi listened on the phone, the more he listened, the more dignified his face became.He never imagined that Okada Yukiko, who only met twice, made this call to him when she attempted suicide and was panicked in the face of the mess.

"Okada-san." He said, "Whether it is inappropriate to say this now or not, I still want to tell you that you are still alive. It is really great that I received this call now."

"Great?"

"Thinking that I almost couldn't hear this voice, I sincerely feel the preciousness of your being alive." Yanqiao Shenyi saw a life standing on a trembling steel wire rope, and he carefully persuaded him.

yes.Okada Yukiko recalled being unable to move, feeling the powerlessness of life passing by, and the joy of regaining a new life when she was rescued, and also felt the preciousness of being alive.But at the same time, there is still the heaviness of being alive.

"I got into a catastrophe, and I don't know how it will end. My existence will cause too much trouble to too many people, so it's not as precious as you said." She said.

"So, is Okada-san going to run away? Do you want to leave the situation where you don't know how to end it to others?"

"It's not like that..." Okada Yukiko's rebuttal was weak.She knew that this was the way to escape.If the first suicide is the ultimate resistance, then the second suicide is the ultimate escape.

"It's okay if you want to run away." I thought Iwahashi Shinichi wanted to educate her, but in the end he said so.

"Actually, I am also a person who is a little afraid of taking responsibility." He said, "When I was young, I accidentally broke a vase. Because I was afraid of being scolded, I framed it and said that the cat at home did it."

"Are you lying?" Okada Yukiko smiled through tears.

"it is true."

"Does your family believe it?" Okada Yukiko was aroused by curiosity.

"It's a little unbelievable to say that it was the cat that broke the vase?" Yanqiao Shenyi laughed silently, "But that time, my mother really believed it and punished the cat."

"Hey?"

"Obviously the cat is innocent, but because I shirked responsibility, I became a scapegoat cat. Because things always have to be settled, but the cat can't confront me. If the cat can understand the ins and outs, it will definitely jump up and scratch me. .”

Okada Yukiko couldn't help laughing when she thought of the scene of the human-cat battle.

"Speaking of it now, this approach is too cunning, isn't it?"

Okada Yukiko wanted to say "yes", and then thought of the current self who wanted to avoid the unknown by death.If he dies, it will definitely leave everyone with a situation that is a hundred times more difficult to end than it is now.

There are also family members far away in Nagoya...Is it because Yanqiao-san's mother wronged the cat because she believed his words, rather than because of her preference for her son?Okada Yukiko also thought of her family in Nagoya.

Guided by interesting stories, she didn't realize that Iwahashi Shinichi deliberately talked about family-related topics, so as to quietly arouse her longing for her family.

If he directly said "Think about your parents and family", it would be the same as directly shouting "Come on, You Xizi!", and he was using pressure to force her.

"Actually, breaking a vase is not something that requires lying to escape responsibility. What's scary is actually the 'unknown'." Yanqiao Shinichi said. "Isn't there that kind of game where you put your hand into the box and guess the object? Because your eyes are blindfolded, no matter what you touch, you subconsciously associate it with scary things, and finally scream out in fright."

What he said didn't seem to have anything to do with persuasion, but every sentence was to enlighten her.Just like when he encouraged her back then, he said "Please relax and move forward", gentle and friendly.

Okada Yukiko completely relaxed in front of him.

"Besides being a star, what else does Okada-san want to do?" At this moment, Shinichi Iwahashi asked suddenly.

Okada Yukiko thought about it, "If I don't want to be a star, I want to be an illustrator because I like drawing. I like English, and it would be nice if I can work overseas in the future."

“It’s a great idea to work overseas,” he said. “Maybe there’s an opportunity to travel the world.”

The unknown is scary, but life has infinite possibilities.A life with so many possibilities can just accommodate these "unknowns".

Okada Yukiko heard the true meaning from Iwahashi Shinichi's words.

"Iwahashi-san," she asked, "afterwards, can I call you again?"

The palm that was held tightly by her was so warm.Okada Yukiko thought to herself, she didn't want to let go of this hand.

　…Following on, Okada Yukiko and the protagonist have only two sides. Compared with thinking of him at the beginning, it is better to think of him after a certain opportunity.So it was before the second suicide, when I was alone and helpless, to steal the business card, not to steal the business card in the first place.
