"That's okay."
The three of them then walked towards the back of the gymnasium.
"I heard that Xiao Jiuhua had a quarrel with several classmates before, and scolded one of them until he cried?" Qiansui blinked and asked with pretended curiosity.
Fujii Itsuki raised an eyebrow, "How did you know that, Chitose?"
"Rinka told me. How is Kouka now?"
Akai Muzi half-jokingly said, "I didn't realize Chitose actually cares about Satsuki."
Yang Kui Chitose waved her hand casually, "We are good friends~"
"As for Xiaoyue, don't worry. She has always had a cold relationship with other classmates. The argument that day didn't change anything. With Xinchun helping her take care of her relationship with everyone, she should continue training."
Fujii Itsuki explained.
When they arrived at the dance studio, Fujii Itsuki was afraid of disturbing them, so he just watched secretly from outside the window.
Right now, the crew members haven't put on the special costumes for the stage play, but they are all concentrating on their lines, taking them very seriously.
Fujii Itsuki stared at him intently, and after looking at him for a while, Yang Kui Chitose quietly pulled the corner of his clothes.
"what happened?"
Fujii Itsuki asked in a low voice, and after he turned his head, Yang Kui Chitose leaned close to his ear:
"Brother Shu hasn't been with Qiansui for many days~"
The girl's whisper was soft and warm, and Fujii Itsuki felt a little guilty for a moment:
"I'm free today after Xinchun and her friends' stage play ends. Where do you want to go?"
"Anywhere is fine! At home, in the seafood market, in the supermarket, it's all fine!"
Fujii Itsuki couldn't help but reach out and rub her head, "Then listen to Chitose."
"Great!"
"Shhh! Be quiet."
"Okay, okay."
It can be seen that Qiansui is very happy.
It must be said that Chitose has been focusing on his career recently.
The weather in Otaru has been pleasant recently, and it has welcomed another wave of tourists. Yang Kui's hot spring shop in Otaru is quite famous, so naturally there are many tourists.
In this situation, even if Chitose really wanted to stay with him, she had to go back to help her adoptive parents.
She has really grown up.
Fujii Itsuki felt both relieved and a little guilty, feeling that he had indeed ignored her.
If the three were arranged in chronological order, Qiansui would be the one who had been with him the longest.
"Shall we go to the auditorium and wait for the play to start?" suggested Fujii Itsuki.
"Uh-huh!"
When they arrived at the stadium, Akai Muzi had already bought the movie tickets.
This ticket was hand-drawn by Xinchun and her friends, and costs 300 yen each.
Fujii Itsuki took the ticket and took the two of them to a corner seat where they sat down, surrounded by strangers.
A red curtain hung in the center of the stage, hanging high, almost covering the entire ceiling of the gymnasium. There were all kinds of lighting equipment, and it was obvious that Tachibana Kita had invested a lot in this cultural festival.
“This stadium has become like a movie theater.”
After hearing Fujii Itsuki's mumbling, Yang Kui Chitose secretly took his hand in a corner where no one else could see, and whispered:
"It seems that Brother Shu has never taken Chitose to the cinema."
"Want to go?"
"I want to, I really want to."
"Well, I'll take you there on Saturday."
When Yang Kui Chitose heard him say this, she was so happy that she looked at him for a while and her heart was filled with sweetness.
"Then later on"
"What are you mumbling about?" Fujii Itsuki listened attentively.
"I was thinking...if we can date legitimately in the future, Brother Shu will definitely continue to take me there, right?"
This child is so pitiful.
"Even if we're not dating, isn't it my responsibility to take you there?"
"But I always spend Brother Shu's money"
"You're my sister, it's only natural that I buy you something."
Qiansui turned her eyes away, her cheeks as red as the sunset, her heart filled with sweetness.
At this moment, the lights in the stadium suddenly went out and the audience gradually quieted down.
The curtain of the stage slowly opened, and the spotlight cast a dim glow, illuminating the scene in the center of the stage - in the dark forest, tall ancient trees had intricate roots and branches intertwined in the sky, and the sound of thunder and rain rolled in through the speakers.
Following the rhythm of thunder, the Twilight Princess, played by Jiu Huayue, walked out slowly in a purple cloak.
She walked through the dense forest carefully, with a serious and focused look, as if she was looking for something. Her every step seemed to step on the audience's heartstrings, and every subtle movement made people hold their breath.
Suddenly, thunder roared.
"what!"
Fujii Itsuki turned around and it seemed like someone in the audience couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice.
Then he heard people whispering, "The young actor's acting is great," and "The effect is great."
"Ashu, has the school approved special funding for you?" Akai Muzi couldn't help but ask.
"No." Fujii Itsuki answered in a low voice.
“How can the effect be so good?”
Fujii Itsuki doesn't know either.
But from the current point of view, this is due to the scene arrangement and Xiao Jiuhua's excellent acting skills.
Just in the opening scene, the solemnity, fear, and inner strength of the Twilight Princess as she stepped into the dense forest were all shown on her face, and the sound of thunder and rain set the atmosphere.
In the next scene, Prince Dawn, played by Matsumae Shinharu, appears, focusing the audience's attention again.
She was wearing silver armor, walking with firm steps and a heroic look.
Her voice was clear and powerful, and every word was packed with emotion and power.
Her eyes were fixed on the Twilight Princess on the other side of the stage. Although they were clearly opposites, her gaze was filled with a complex mixture of emotions - concern, ambivalence, and love that could not be concealed.
The audience watched with bated breath, as the deep emotions and potential conflicts were revealed in just one glance.
Fujii Itsuki noticed that Chitose Haruki was also fascinated by the show.
This proves that everyone’s acting skills are really great.
After nearly 40 minutes of performance, the plot entered its final climax. Many years after all the grudges and battles ended, the Twilight Princess came to her brother's territory. When she walked to the room where the two had stayed as children and picked up a wooden sign she had given to her brother when she was a child, she finally understood.
It turns out that even if I hate my brother for various reasons, my brother still remembers me and the promise they made to each other to stay together forever when they were children.
All he did was to make it natural for himself to accept the entire kingdom.
Her fingertips gently touched the cold and heavy wooden sign, as if she had touched an eternal oath. Her eyes slightly reddened, and she finally understood her brother's silent love and care.
She couldn't help but hug the wooden sign and burst into tears.
The music slowly began, and its gentle and hopeful melody echoed in the theater.
Twilight Princess's expression changed from confusion to determination, and she then smiled with relief, as if she was reconciling with past hatred and finding strength to face future challenges.
Jiuhuayue turned to face the audience and looked up at the sky, as if she saw the hope called tomorrow.
The stage lights gradually brightened, and the last beam of light stopped on her. She held the token in her hand, her eyes firm and gentle.
The curtain slowly closed and the audience burst into thunderous applause.
Fujii Itsuki looked towards the stage and was somewhat moved by Jiuhuayue's acting.
Ugh.
This stage play is based on the childhood stories of Jiuhuayue and Matsumae Shinharu. Jiuhuayue should have put in some real emotions here, right?
She... No, it should be said that both of them should understand the things that each other can't let go of in their hearts, right?
Fujii Itsuki couldn't help but follow the audience and applaud the people who had just performed.
Chapter 231 A Thousand Years of Dreams
The white snow came quietly in the night of Otaru, falling lightly from the gray-blue sky.
Overnight, the window glass was covered with a thin layer of frost.
Outside in the old town, the snow was covered with a thick layer, and the snow line on the roof and the edge of the black tiles outlined a clear arc.
A six-year-old girl woke up early, listening to the ticking of the clock in the corner. She lay by the window, her bright eyes looking out at the century-old red pine tree covered by snow.
The world outside the glass was cold and empty, but she didn't care. She stretched out her little hands and drew two stick figures on the cold glass.
One big and one small.
The older one carried the younger one on his back. Behind the two of them, there was an iron gate that looked very similar to the one at the welfare home.
dong dong.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door behind me.
She turned her head and saw Aunt Yamaoka walking in. She was fat and holding a cane, tapping along the edge of the bed.
"Get up, everyone get up!" Her impatient voice echoed in the room.
