Nogizaka's Synchronized Coincidence

Chapter 27 Like hugging a stiff shell
According to the operation, the sales date of the second single is set on May 5nd. It may be accidental, but it is more intentional. It is related to AKB2's Sashi-Shihara Rino's first solo single "Just Like You". A "direct duel" between Nogizaka48 and Shihara, who was hyped to be AKB48's official rival since it went on sale on the same day

Kurokawa Aoi didn't pay much attention to these operations and marketing methods. Anyway, it is enough to do her own part. At this moment, she needs to care about other things.

Huahua and Xiaonan fell from the front row to the third row, Asuka missed the selection and fell to under, and Maimai and Misa, who went from anticipation to disappointment in the two consecutive selections, although they cried, they were not too sad on the surface, but connected The psychological impact of the blow cannot be ignored.

How to get rid of the members around her became the most important thing for Kurokawa Aoi, so she approached Ling Xiang, Ikkuma, Mai Yang and Nana Min.

"Just after the selection and announcement, the members' psychology and emotions will be affected. Lingxiang, I just want to remind you, I hope you don't mind. If you can, pay more attention to the status of the members, especially the under side. Maybe you can go to Looking for help from your family, Yueyue, Sala Ling, and Mai Mai Misa"

"Aoi sauce, thank you for your reminder, I will pay attention to it." As the captain, there are countless things to be responsible for, but the most complicated thing is the relationship between the members.It's rare for Kui Jiang to care and bring it up. While Lingxiang is grateful, she also hopes to get the other party's help. After all, the other party's influence in the group is very important.

"Kui Jiang, as the interim captain, I will do my best, but my personal ability is still limited, so I hope you can help me, and the members are also very willing to talk to you! Even if you pity me, you will You don't want a cute and beautiful girl like me to be exhausted, and die in a beautiful way?" Lingxiang's combination of flattery + flattery + pretending to be pitiful softened Kui's heart, which had long been intentional.

"Okay, Lingxiang, don't pretend to be pitiful! I don't know that everything is big or small, and I am helping you to deal with it? I also have this wish, so I came to you. Maiyang, you should pay more attention to it now Let’s talk about Huahua and Misa, Nanamin pay more attention to Maimai and Asuka, and Yikuma looks for Xiaonan. Needless to say too much, the main thing is to accompany and listen. If they can express their thoughts and feelings, then It’s not a big problem, and I will try to find opportunities to talk to them.”

After a week passed, the news from Maixiang, Yikuma and Lingxiang was mainly positive. Huahua's emotions came and went quickly. She knew that the main reason was her academic and music needs. Taking leave and being absent from work and activities is a bit too much, which makes the operation have opinions on itself.But Huahuahua is unwilling to turn it into strength, she is greedy and wants everything, and she decides to work harder, do her best in every aspect, and strive to return to the position of God of Fortune again.

And Xiaonan was a little sad for a while, and then replied.Yikuma said that Xiaonan's desire to win is not so strong, and his usual work attitude is a bit Buddhist, and he mainly saves electricity by fishing for the group when recording the series, and he is not too concerned about the selection for the time being.

Maimai and Misa are psychologically strong enough because of their age and experience. Although they were frustrated and sad, they quickly cheered up and gave comfort and encouragement to other under members. non-elected members.

But it is the "compensation" of the operation that plays the main role. This time, the songs of Under's second single finally have their own MV!The moment this news was announced in the group, both under and selected members were overjoyed.

What is worrying is Asuka.Nanamin said that Asuka just sat quietly in the corner alone, and when she asked her, she just shook her head or said "it's okay", and she didn't communicate with other Hina or Chiharu who usually had a good relationship, and she became a bird "Autistic bird", so Kurokawa Aoi decided to take the initiative.

"Asuka, come home with me tonight and stay overnight, and tomorrow we will go to the "Great East Japan Earthquake Reconstruction Aid Charity Performance"" After the dance practice class on Friday night, Kurokawa Aoi hugged Xiao Asuka from behind, using A voice that tolerated no objection.

"But...but I have to get my mother's permission first, and I have to go home to get clothes." The long-lost warm embrace, softness and fragrance, made Saito Asuka not too resistant to Aoi's proposal, but subconsciously made excuses to hide In the world where there is only oneself, that safe harbor that will not be harmed by others.

"I already told Mom Saito that she gave me your clothes before you came to the training class, so does Asuka have any other questions?" How could Aoi not have thought of these details, and she knew Asuka I was willing in my heart, so I made an agreement with Maiyang and Saito's mother early in the morning.

With half-push, Saito Asuka followed Kurokawa Aoi to have dinner first, and then returned to Nakameguro's home together.

"Excuse me, isn't Mai-chan not at home?" Following Aoi into the house, Asoka asked curiously.

"Maiyang is staying overnight at Sera Ling's house tonight, so it's just me and Asuka's world." The smiling Aoi looked down on Asuka's small face, and the other party immediately blushed and dared not look at her.

"Haha, the red-faced Asuka-chan is so cute! By the way, this is your change of clothes. I'll bring you the pajamas when I take a shower later." Return the clothes that Saito's mother gave her from the backpack to the original owner .

"Thank you Aoi sauce, can I go to the bathroom first?" Although timid, taking a bath is one of Asuka's favorites, and he can often stay in the bathroom for an hour or two.

"Okay, but don't lock the door, and I'll bring you the towel and pajamas." After finishing speaking, Aoi walked to her room.

Asuka entered the bathroom, first poured water into the bathtub, took off her clothes, washed her hair, washed her body, tested the water temperature with her hands, soaked her whole body in the water, and sighed comfortably.

"Asuka, I'm coming in." Following the knock on the door, Aoi opened the door and walked in, holding a towel and pajamas for Asuka in her hand.

"Ah, thank you Aoi sauce, please just put it over there." Asuka said casually as he closed his eyes to enjoy the comfortable feeling brought by the 40-degree water temperature.

There was no response, only the sound of water flowing after the shower was turned on half a minute later, Asuka said in a bit of astonishment, "Kui Jiang! What's wrong with you?"

"Oh? I'm taking a shower!" Aoi replied after turning off the shower just after washing, while approaching the bathtub.

The bathtub in Kurokawa Aoi's house is not big, but it can still accommodate two slender girls. The comfortable water temperature and tranquil environment make them both relax physically and mentally.

"Asuka-chan, you can tell me what's on your mind, whether it's about school, family, friends, being an idol or anything about yourself, as long as you want someone to talk to, I am willing to be your audience, so stop hiding everything in your heart, okay?" Aoi said softly with her head pressed against Asuka's little ear.

From being nervous at the beginning, to relaxing and enjoying the feeling of touching each other, listening to Aoi's caring words, tears slowly fell from the corners of Asuka's eyes.

"I'm not as good as Huahua and Rotty in singing, not as good as Huanai and Reina in dancing, I'm not as funny as Xiaoshi and Sayori, I'm not likable, I'm not as cute as Xiaonan, I don't have any special skills, let alone no With the appearance and figure of Mai-chan and Aoi-chan, it is reasonable for a worthless person like me not to be selected. Aoi-chan, am I really suitable to be an idol?" Asuka's inner depression burst out all at once.

Aoi didn't answer immediately, but hugged the little bird in her arms tightly, and said after feeling that the other party's emotions calmed down a little: "Have you ever heard such a sentence, Asuka-chan?"

"Everyone is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its life thinking it is stupid"

"I think everyone is unique, and there is no need to compare with others. If you want to do something, try to do it hard and learn, maybe you will succeed or maybe you will find that you are not. Fit. The important thing is did you grow from the experience? Did you grow stronger mentally? Did you change in the face of shock and stress?"

"You are a bird, so you don't have to swim with a fish. You have to find your own sky that allows you to spread your wings and soar in the sky. Maybe you have to wait for your wings to be full, but before that day comes, enjoy and cherish it Every opportunity to grow"

"Be the best version of yourself! I look forward to Asuka, you can find your own uniqueness and become that radiant, sparkling Saito Asuka!"

"Kui Jiang!" Asoka was so moved that he turned around and raised his head, and buried his head in the opponent's arms. This moment belonged to his own safe haven.

After the two warmed up for a while longer, Kurokawa Aoi dried Asuka's body, wrapped her wet hair, put on their pajamas and dried their hair, and went to Aoi's bed together.

"Kui Jiang, thank you. Also, I like you the most!" Xiao Fei Niao leaned her head on Aoi's arms, like a baby lying on her mother's chest, with a tone of gratitude and attachment.

"I have received Asuka's confession, then you have to promise me that you will not hide your worries in your heart in the future, I am willing to be your listener anytime, remember it!" Aoi reached out and stroked Asuka's hair , enjoying the softness of the hair in his hand.

"Well, I promise Kui Jiang." The comfortable feeling made Asuka close her eyes, quietly enjoying the other party's doting on her.

Moist lips touched the other person's forehead, and Aoi closed her eyes and said, "Then it's settled, Asuka, good night" and turned off the bedside lamp.

A few minutes later, the snoring sounded softly, and a pair of bright eyes flashed in the darkness. The owner of the eyes moved gently and slowly until he found the target. He leaned his head back and broke apart with one touch, and everything returned to the original state.

"Aoi sauce, this is my thank you from Asuka, good night"
