Nogizaka's Synchronized Coincidence

Chapter 30 The Way to Forget Sadness

"Life is like a one-way train, starting from birth and traveling all the way to the grave, there will be many stops on the way, every time you stop at a station, someone will get on the train, and likewise, someone will get off the train, no one can Accompany you from the starting point to the end point, but we should all cherish the time we spend walking with each other and enjoy the scenery along the way, because you never know when the other party will get off the bus.”

Hashimoto Nana has not forgotten where she read a passage of text, but the content is still fresh in her memory, because she feels deeply about the sudden parting.

She has also experienced blaming others and lamenting that fate has tricked people, and she has also tried to find the answer that will never be found, because people only know about "birth, old age, sickness and death", but not why. The only option for the living is how to live go down.

The death of his father put the financial pressure on the family, which was not well-to-do, suddenly heavy. After graduating from high school, should they continue to pursue their ideals, or resign themselves to their fate and start working early to reduce the financial pressure on the family.Too many burdens and choices oppressed this young girl so hard that she couldn't breathe.

But she survived strong!Gritting his teeth, he said, "I want to go to Beijing to study in university!"

Mother's objection was due to financial considerations and worries about her physical condition. It was just Nanamin who was determined, even if she fell down on the way, she would try her best to get up until the end.

Shangjing lives a self-sufficient life. Even if she is working a few jobs to earn tuition and living expenses, she will soon reach her limit. She is financially stretched, and even if she only eats one rice ball bought at a convenience store a day, she will reach her limit. The situation where you can't make ends meet, and the oil is exhausted and the lights are dry.

At the end of the road, Nanamin, who was a little delirious, suddenly had a whimsical thought: "As for entertainers, there are lunch boxes for location. If you become an artist, you will have lunch boxes so you don't have to worry about eating!"

Later, in order to find a way to become an artist, she began to search the Internet.Then, by chance, I saw the advertisement for Nogizaka46's recruitment.

I looked at the application project, it said that as long as there is a photo, I thought it was easy and sent it.She was surprised that it passed the first inspection.

After calling to tell her mother, she said, "This is also a kind of social experience, why don't you try it? If you go there, you will be able to see many future idols!"

Nanamin also felt that what her mother said was quite reasonable, so she came to Beijing from Hokkaido to study at the University of Fine Arts, but she came to Nogizaka with the unbelievably real reason of being able to eat bento. The idol also met a group of friends and partners.

Looking at the boundless darkness outside the plane window, Nanami Hashimoto’s thoughts were uncontrollable, recalling fragments of the past, which is why she has a soft spot for reading, because words can construct a fantasy world in her mind , Letting one's mind into it has become a way for oneself to forget the sadness, and briefly detach oneself from the cruelty of reality.

"Nanamin? Don't you want to sleep more?"

The sound from the ear brought Hashimoto Nanami's thoughts that drifted far away unconsciously, and brought them back to reality.

"I have already slept, and now I don't feel sleepy. I really envy Aoi Jiang, who can fall asleep whenever and wherever I want to sleep"

Aoi Kurokawa puffed up her bun face slightly and said, "Are Nanamin describing me like a pig that eats and sleeps?"

Nanamin subconsciously stretched out her fingers to poke the face of sunflower sauce, which is very rare in front of her, and said with a smile while enjoying the elasticity: "Where is there a pig that is as cute as sunflower sauce and has such a slim figure?"

"Nanamin doesn't deny that I'm gluttonous and sleepy!?"

Aoi Kurokawa was not fooled by Nanamin's sweet words.

"Then you said yourself that you are gluttonous and sleepy?"

Nana Min's words kill people.

"."

At this time, Mai Shiraishi, who was sitting on the other side of Aoi, joined the discussion.

"I can testify! I have never seen a person who is more gluttonous and sleepy than Kui. Maybe Huahua and A Song can compete in greedy food, but it is really unprecedented to love sleep and be able to sleep!"

"At least I'm not lazy in bed like Nanamin and can't get up in the morning!"

Aoi tried hard to defend, but also decided to divert the trouble to the east.

Nanamin's face was calm, but the aura she exuded was like the icy cold wind in Hokkaido, and her voice leaked through her teeth: "Can you repeat what you just said?"

Aoi Kurokawa, whose life was hanging by a thread, wiped the sweat that didn't exist on her face, and said softly and flatteringly: "I said that Nanamin is like an angel when she sleeps!"

As long as you don't have to wake her up, otherwise she can immediately turn into a demon, Aoi added in her heart.

"Even if you can talk, otherwise I will let you go back without sleep if you try not to sleep"

Nana Hashimoto did not play it lightly.

Aoi absolutely believed that Nanamin, a cruel woman, would definitely do such a thing.

"You have the nerve to say that Nanamin, you are really unconscious when you are asleep, and you can't wake up no matter what you do."

Maiyang was dismantling Kurokawa Aoi's desk at the side.

"No way? Why do I remember that when the alarm clock rang, I was the first to wake up? And how do you know you can't wake me up? What have you done to me?"

There was no answer, and some were just sack-clothed with malicious intentions, like a fox who stole a chicken.

"Sackie! Tell me what the hell happened? Don't just laugh!"

Aoi kept shaking her sackcloth-like hand, but no matter what, the other party had an unpredictable smile on her face.

Nana Hashimoto couldn't help laughing, the usually calm Aoi Sauce was so flustered, but she also kept her heart secretly, wondering if there was a chance to verify whether Aoi Sauce really couldn't wake up no matter how hard she tried .

The flight from Tokyo to New York passed in the blink of an eye amidst the girls' playfulness, and it was already past six o'clock in the evening when they arrived at Kennedy Airport in New York.After passing through the customs, I took my luggage and boarded the arranged tour bus in the departure hall. It was already [-]:[-].

Fortunately, the traffic rush hour has passed by this time, otherwise I don't know how long we will be stuck in traffic jams on the road. About 30, 10 minutes later, the tour bus arrived at the hotel near Times Square in Manhattan. The staff in charge handed over the room key cards to them and said, "You are a room of four, Kurokawa, Shiraishi, Hashimoto and Matsumura. One for Takayama, one for Ikoma, one for Nakata, and one for Sakurai. As for dinner."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Aoi Kurokawa: "We will arrange the dinner ourselves. I have made an appointment to have dinner with my family here. I have reported this to Konno-san before."

After checking the messages on the phone, the person in charge of the Sony team nodded in agreement and said, "Then please pay attention to your personal safety, and return to the hotel room by [-]:[-] at the latest, and we will call everyone to confirm."

"Okay, I understand. This is my grandfather's mobile phone number. I will send it to you now, so that I can contact you if there is anything to do." After talking, Shikui sent the text message to the other party, then turned around and said to the other girls: "I am now Send a message to grandpa and grandma, can everyone gather here in 15 minutes?"

Except for Aoi Kurokawa, the rest of them are coming to the United States for the first time. They are not familiar with life, and their English is not good enough to communicate with the locals. Of course, Aoi Kurokawa is the leader.

When I came to the room to put down my luggage, I went back to the hotel lobby after a little freshening up, and a gentle and pleasant voice came to Aoi's ears.

"Mon bébé! Tu m'as tellement manqué!"

"Grand-mère, je t'aime et tu me manques aussi!"

They couldn't understand the conversation between Aoi and the mature blond woman, but judging from their joyful expressions and the way they hugged each other, they believed that this was Aoi's grandmother.And the man next to the two women, with an Asian face, slightly older but still tall, with a resolute and majestic face, should be Aoi's grandfather.

After being hugged by her grandmother and leaving a dozen lip prints on both cheeks, Kwai led her grandparents to the members and said, "I would like to introduce to you, this is my grandfather Li Jianyang, and my grandmother Judy Lawrence" then introduced the members to grandparents one by one.

"Xiaokui, it's getting late and you are all hungry too! Let's go to dinner quickly, let's talk while eating," Li Jianyang said, Kurokawa Aoi of course obeyed.

They arrived at their destination after walking for about 46 minutes from West 5th Street, where the hotel is located. A very traditional Italian restaurant "Carmine Italian Restaurant"

Fortunately, my grandfather reserved a table early in the morning, so the waiting time was saved.

There are no special or innovative dishes in this restaurant, just simple Italian dishes, but whether it is garlic bread, pizza or pasta, they all take the taste of traditional Italian dishes to the extreme, making people who have never tasted authentic Italian dishes The girl who eats the dishes eats with gusto.

Of course, Aoi’s grandparents, who are not young, broke the news from time to time about various interesting stories and black history of Aoi’s childhood, and she was asked to translate for other members herself, so except for her, everyone else returned with fun.

When she returned to the hotel lobby to say goodbye, grandma hugged Kui for a long time and refused to let go. Thinking of how she grew up from a little girl to the beautiful and charming girl in front of her, she had mixed feelings.

"I'm sorry, I've arranged to shoot commercials all day tomorrow, so I took the last flight back to Tokyo in the evening, so I couldn't spend more time with you and grandpa, and I wanted you to fly over from California."

Aoi buried her head in her grandmother's neck, just like she did when she was a child, but now her height has already surpassed her grandmother's.

"Don't tell me you're sorry, my little baby! It's enough to see your grandma. As long as you are healthy and happy, doing what you like, and living a life that you feel happy, grandma has nothing to ask for. "Grandma said affectionately, sweeping Aoi's hair with her hands.

In the reluctance of grandma, she gently pushed the other away, and Aoi Kurokawa came to grandpa.

"Xiao Kui, do you keep in mind your daily exercises? Practicing kung fu is like sailing against the tide, if you don't advance, you will fall back, do you understand?" Li Jianyang, who has practiced martial arts since childhood, has a habit of going straight, even to his favorite The granddaughter is also true.

"Grandpa's teachings, Xiaokui dare not or forget, and must practice it every morning and evening," Kui responded respectfully to her grandfather.

"Good! But we can't follow the old ways and be self-sufficient. As my mentor said, what we practice is a martial art that can accommodate all rivers and learn from the strengths of each school. Only by "taking the essence and discarding the dross" can we make progress and express our true self without restraint, you have to remember it."

"Xiaokui got it! Grandpa, you should also take care of your health. My current work arrangement prevents me from traveling far for the time being, so I hope to have the opportunity to visit you in a while."

After hugging and saying goodbye to her grandparents again, Aoi returned to their room.

"Have you said goodbye to them? Aoi sauce, are you okay?" Seeing Aoi who looked a little depressed, Mai Yang asked with concern.

"Well, they went back. I just don't know how long it will take until then to see each other again." Aoi was also full of reluctance, and said sullenly.

"Maybe they can live in Japan for a while, so you can see them often!"

Sayori has a good impression of Aoi's grandparents, and hopes to meet again in the future.

"Maybe! Let me discuss it with my parents after I return to China, and see what they think about it." Aoi thought this was a solution, so she wrote it down.

"Is Nanamin taking a shower? How about you?"

"Nanamin said that she has a short time to take a bath, so let her go first. Aoi, you can follow Nanamin! Sayu and I came to play a game of chess to decide which one to come first." Two long-haired ladies who wash their hair and take a bath The time is indeed much longer than the two of them with short hair.

The door of the bathroom was opened, and Nanamin, whose face was still flushed due to the temperature of the water, came among them with the scent of moisture and shampoo.

"Then I'll take a shower first! Let's talk slowly." Aoi said as she took out a change of clothes from her luggage and walked quickly to the bathroom.

Aoi came out in less than 10 minutes. She was wearing a T-shirt and shorts, revealing her long legs and impressive bust. Even the women who were women couldn't take their eyes off her.

Kurokawa Aoi came to Mai Shiraishi, reached out and grabbed her by the shoulder as if hugging her in her arms, and said, "What's the matter? What did you just say?"

"It's nothing, I'm just discussing the sleeping arrangements for tonight. It's decided now! I'll sleep with Aoi-chan, Nanamin and Sayori, that's all"

Never thought Nanamin and Sayori said in unison: "No, I want to sleep with Aoi sauce!"

They were at a stalemate, and Aoi didn't care. Anyway, after falling asleep, as long as it wasn't an earthquake or fire, she could sleep soundly, so she ignored their discussion and went to blow-dry her hair.

Afterwards, the three parties reached a consensus on the issue of "Kurokawa Aoi's ownership tonight" in a "friendly" and "harmonious" attitude. Shiraishi expressed that Kurokawa Aoi is an inseparable part of himself, but in order to For the long-term interests of all parties and the overall situation of maintaining the relationship between the four parties, she is willing to make concessions on tonight's matter.She thought to herself that since she and Aoi lived together, there would be plenty of opportunities near the water.

Hashimoto expressed her views and position. She decided to act in accordance with Aoi Kurokawa’s wishes, but clearly stated that the other party had promised to provide waist massage services unconditionally when necessary. , Kurokawa Aoi must agree to her request to share the same bed, but once again reiterated that she will focus on Kurokawa Aoi's personal decision.

Mrs. Matsumura said that he did not insist whether he could sleep with Aoi tonight, but only proposed that he could often stay in the residences of Kurokawa and Shiraishi in the future. , The behavior of "eating" during "sleeping" is often seen, the target is to be determined because no matter who it is, they have made money, right?
So after Aoi dried her hair, she came back and saw Nanamin laying on the bed, showing off her beautiful white legs and shouting, "Aoi sauce! Can you press my waist? Maybe my waist is a little bit tight after sitting on the plane for a long time." sore"

"Okay! I'll get the massage ointment." After hearing that, Aoi turned around and went to find the ointment in her suitcase.

Maiyang and Sa Yuri looked at the poor Nanamin with contempt and envy, but they had no choice but to watch Aoi giving Nanamin a massage while taking turns to take a bath.

That night, Kui Fa dreamed that he came to the sun and beach resort, enjoying a full-body massage under the hot sun.The humidity of the sea breeze, the temperature of the air, and the sweltering heat of the sun are all unreal, and the feeling of being pressed on the body makes me feel comfortable physically and mentally.

When the alarm clock rang and woke up, Kurokawa Aoi only felt refreshed, and a sense of sweet satisfaction that came from nowhere filled every cell in her body, making her get up happily to wash her face and brush her teeth.

Kurokawa Aoi, who came back from washing, leaned forward and approached Nanamin, stretched out two fingers to pinch the bridge of her nose, and whispered softly in her ear: "Nanamin, get up! The sun is drying your ass."

Frowning but closing her eyes, Nanamin said irritably, "Okay, okay! Get up now, give me a minute"

Awakened consciously but not physically, Nanamin flashed some fragments of what happened in the night.

It turns out that the way to forget sadness is to find something you like and learn to enjoy it.

At this moment, Hashimoto Nanami suddenly transformed into Mitsui Shou.
