restless daily life

"Okay, 9527, don't think about it, come and rehearse tomorrow's drama with me."

"Huh?" Angelina was startled, "Me? I don't know how to act..."

"Who asked you to act, when the time comes, pass me the costumes - come backstage with me, with the mouthpiece that likes all external conditions to be perfect, the obsessive terminal cancer, things must be ready."

Angelina followed Bai Ying into the backstage.

The show is about to begin.

backstage.

Angelina looked away from the gap in the curtain to look at the large audience outside, and nervously went through the sequence of costumes in her mind again.

Um?Have I been stolen from the day?

Suddenly it's coming for real!

Ahh—it must be an illusion caused by being too nervous.

It's okay, it's okay, it's very simple to pass the clothes from here to the officer who will come down from the stage and enter the compartment.

Didn't expect there to be so many viewers, because there is so little entertainment in the country?

Chapter 140 Opening

Chitanda Eru disappeared.

Of course, it is too serious to say that the disappearance is too serious. To be precise, I contacted the teacher suddenly, saying that I had something to do suddenly, and I couldn’t organize everyone to go to the swimming pool in Shenshan City. I didn’t find anyone in the other’s room. I heard that I went home yesterday. .

Could it be that something happened to Chitanda's family?

If it is not a very serious situation, she will not withdraw abruptly or even want to cancel the event.

And at that time...

Oreki Houtaro sat by the window, lost in thought.

"Is everyone here? Let's go back - there will be a drama performance prepared by Bai Ying in the evening, if you are interested, you can go and see it."

After confirming the roll call, Hiratsuka signaled the bus driver to drive back from Shenshan City and end today's swimming activity in Shenshan City.

"Just talking about me, don't you also meddle in your own business?"

"..."

"Hello? Your condition seems to be unexpectedly serious."

"Don't Disturb Energy Saving."

"When the event was about to be cancelled, I suddenly asked to replace Chitanda who was vacant. As a result, I spent the whole afternoon looking after the swimming pool, and I couldn't play. I don't see any energy savings."

"You're annoying."

"Yeah, yeah, I'm not afraid of being annoyed by people." Hikigu Hachiman shrugged, looking at the approaching twilight outside the car window, he felt that it was rare to talk too much, "Isn't it good? I heard that you are a third-year junior high school classmate, you also followed her to the Chiba Sobu High School, the relationship between each other is the most special... eh? This sudden feeling..."

Hikigaya Hachiman grunted, frowned deeply, and stared at the listless Oreki Houtarou: "You guy, you seem to be a real charge that should explode?"

Sure enough, I was confused by the other party's so-called energy-saving doctrine!Think about it carefully, no matter how you look at this guy, his life is full of pink, and he should explode immediately!

I thought that even if they had different ideas, they should not be the real ones, and suddenly there was a huge gap between them!

"Don't comfort me, I want to be quiet."

Oreki Houtaro glanced at him, and continued to think.

"Who wants to comfort you, that kind of thing is too self-aware." Hikiya Hachiman hesitated for a moment, and said decisively, "There is really no way, just go to the minister... Just be aware of death. But the minister seems to be very busy these two days, and his sense of presence is thin.”

Oreki Houtaro: "..."

You are really moved!

Hikigu Hachiman couldn't help admiring him.

It is the most special, irreplaceable and unique connection for each other—it is not something that can be obtained by opening a mouth, nor is it something that will be discarded unconsciously, something that really exists and is held tightly... in Between people, does this kind of thing really exist?

It's not as relaxed as "Let's make friends", nor is it as casual as "It's been a long time since I've been in touch", and it's not as indifferent as "It's a quarrel"-it should be heavy and cannot be ignored; Yes, the heart hurts between pulling; it should be immortal, and even if you try your best, you can't leave a mark.

Between people, is there really something that can't be damaged by constant dissection, constant stripping, constant questioning, and constant splitting?

Hikigu Hachiman suddenly felt a little envious, and then suddenly became vigilant and introspective.

Why should I be envious?Is the relationship between Oreki and Chitanda what he imagined?Could it be just an illusion of excess self-awareness?Just what I think I think?

Look again, maybe you can get the answer...

"Suddenly, suspicious heat appeared in your eyes."

Oreki Houtarou leaned in sideways.

"Ahem, I'm really sorry that my dead fish eyes hindered your thinking."

"The sudden honorific...is already suspicious and disgusting."

"..."

Hikigu Hachiman lip-synced expressionlessly: Explode!Charge now!

Well……

Yuihama Yui was in the back seat, quietly staring at Hikigaya Hachiman and Oreki Houtaro in front, what's going on?How do you feel that the relationship between Xiaozhe and small enterprises is so good?Hiss—speaking of which, the relationship between Xiaoqi and Xiaobai is rather delicate...ah!It must be wrong cranky thinking!

Alas, Xiaoan said that she was busy with rehearsals, and Xiaoxue said that she wanted to travel with her parents, so they didn't participate in the swimming activities in Shenshan City. What a pity.

Xiaobai's play - let's go and see it, it's probably a mess and a messy performance.

……

……

Under the thin twilight, a stage with a height of about ten meters stands in the open space. There are chairs like VIP seats in the circle at the front of the stage, and each chair is very intimately marked with the name , these positions are reserved for those who receive tickets.

As for other spectators, please bring your own seats, or make you stand, or rent plastic stools nearby.

"The geese have plucked their hair, the artistic aesthetics of the mouthpiece—tsk tsk tsk."

"Shut up. It's still 10 minutes, and the twilight will reach the most suitable level of light. At that time, the expressiveness of the spotlight is the most perfect. If you have time to chatter, you might as well do a warm-up."

"Mouthpiece, there are many things."

"Climb! I call it excellence!"

"White hair, black beard, straw clothes..."

"..."

In the backstage, Mai Sakurajima felt that she was out of place. She tried her best to keep calm, guessing over and over again in her mind the possible performances of the other three.

She was wearing a simple apron, a straw hat on her head, and a beige dress with some petals dotted on it. She was dressed plainly but could not conceal her natural beauty, while the others...

The puppet was scratching its throat in a daze, Shirokage was changing the one-piece simple clothes, and Angelina next to her was muttering about the order, and the mouthpiece was talking to the puppet to herself.

Mai Sakurajima suddenly felt that if she joined impulsively, she might also be a little mentally disturbed.

"Yo! Bastard, are you busy?"

A corner of the curtain was lifted, and Yukinoshita Haruno poked his head in with a smile.

Everyone stared at her for a moment.

A huge aura suddenly rose from the crowd.

"Audience is prohibited from entering the backstage!"

Mouthpiece angrily picked up some tools, and wanted to impress the audience on the spot.

"excuse me."

Yukinoshita Haruno immediately retreated, heard the noise in the backstage, stuck out her tongue, walked around the stage, and returned to the audience seats: "Yukino-chan, what do you think the bastard will perform?"

When jumping into the river, Bai Jun seemed to have slipped his tongue, because he wanted to use this performance to make himself aware of his determination and courage.

But it is also hard to say what exactly Bai Jun will act to shock himself.

"Uh..." Yukinoshita Yukino said subtly, "Probably something he wants to perform."

Yukinoshita's mother tried to join the conversation between the two daughters: "I have seen the performance of the Scarlet Troupe. Although I don't know how the actors are in private, the performances on the stage are very exciting, and each has its own characteristics."

Confidant big trouble plus, I wish you a cool performance.

Yukinoshita's father silently offered his blessings, and by the way quietly stared at Hikigaya Hachiman next to him—although it was only an accidental injury, but in a sense, this guy's character traits and various performances are also threatening, and he needs to defend against the enemy outside the border.

"Does the young man have a girlfriend?"

"No, not interested, not in the mood."

Uncle, why bother?Hikigaya Hachiman had a headache, but then he thought about it, if there was someone he considered suspicious next to Komachi... such as the minister.

hiss--!That being said, uncle and I are actually comrades-in-arms on the same path!

It's just that this potential comrade-in-arms is not very friendly, and he just wants to kill him.

Oreki Houtarou didn't pay attention to the small theater next to him, his eyes shifted slightly, and he saw Chitanda Eru in the auditorium on the other side of the stage, and she was accompanied by her parents.

The sky at dusk was a little dark, so I couldn't see Chitanda's situation clearly... What happened?

Oreki Houtaro lowered his eyes.

My father and I had a conversation that we both kept misunderstood.The uncontrollable emotions colored the words, showing a different color on my father's side. My father's words may come from the sincerity of caring, but my ears can't avoid distorting them into other meanings.

You always let me grow up as an heir since you were a child, why now you want to give me the wings of freedom in your eyes?Does this make me turn back halfway, a waste of time, or let me spread my wings and fly to the distance in your eyes?

Unable to bear the grievance, the words he uttered became fragile and bewildered, and his father misunderstood it as a sign of losing his goal for a while.He is probably guilty, guilty of not being able to give more, but leaving more responsibilities and burdens, so that he is more determined not to inherit family responsibilities.

so hard.

The person who gave me a goal at first denied my goal, how can I speak my voice calmly and clearly?

I am a child in my father's eyes, and my father is an adult in my own eyes. How can I let my father really hear my voice?Do I really have the power and possibility to be unwavering and convey my voice to my father?

Dialogue between people is really difficult.

Oreki-san...

She has very good vision, and across the stage, she can see Houtaro Oreki who is resting with his eyes closed.

No, you have to be strong, not weak.

You must think carefully and face it calmly. No matter how confused and wronged you are in your heart, you must be strong when you act.

Chitanda Eru lowered her eyes.

Did something happen to my sister's house?

Guan Guchun always feels that his niece is not in the right state today.

"The most common problem with literary films is that people can't understand them. Directors and screenwriters focus on expressing something, but the more deeply they are obsessed with expressing themselves, the more confused the audience will be. Even the actors may mess up. I don't know what I'm doing..."

"There is a huge difference in consciousness between people. The more intense you express yourself, the more stupid you tend to be in the eyes of others. An excellent literary film should and must have a popular story side."

"Only when you get into people's hearts can you have empathy."

Director Okita Masa flipped through the script, talking about self-writing and directing, with many years of experience in the street, he couldn't help sighing softly: "It's a pity that I have to vent violently and describe it calmly, and I want to balance the expression of this conflict. , it is extremely difficult—this script makes me want to go all out.”

"That's right, back then I knew that Brother Bai must be different from ordinary people." Guan Guchun immediately began to blow in vain.

Okita said regretfully: "I thought he would not be able to keep up with the script, and I planned to lend him the small black room of the crew, but now it seems that he won't be able to use it."

"Ahem, it seems that the performance is about to begin."

As a creator, Guan Guchun was oversensitive to the behavior of the little black house and other demons, so he quickly changed the topic.

The bustling audience waits.

Faint lights rose from the edge of the stage to light up.

The lights above suddenly converged.

"Ah↗↗↗↗↗——!"

Gradually raising the height, the powerful singing that naturally draws the audience's attention from the auditory sense also kicked off the heavy curtain.
