After leaving the martial arts hall, Chizuru Ninomiya returned to her apartment, hid in her room, and wrapped herself in a quilt.
As for Igarashi Runa, she sat by the bed, silent, waiting for her to vent.
The bedroom was a bit messy, with underwear, used stockings, and some clothes placed everywhere, stacked in a very messy manner.
Although it is messy, it is not dirty because Chizuru Ninomiya hires a part-time worker to help her clean every week.
It's just that this time, it's particularly messy... Maybe I've been too busy recently and too many things have happened.
Igarashi Runa stared fixedly at a wall in the room.
That is the wall next to the desk, and it is also one of the few neat and clean areas in the room.
There is a painting surrounded by an exquisite frame hanging on the wall. In the painting, Chizuru Ninomiya is sitting by a stream, playing in the water with her hair tied up. She is so beautiful that it is fascinating, like a work of art.
After a long time, I came to the Ninomiya family and came to this bedroom. Igarashi Runa looked at the painting for a long time.
"well… "
Her mood was complicated, melancholy, regretful, headache, and she sighed in her heart.
She regretted it because she knew she had done something wrong.
When they were at the Budokan, Chizuru had asked her for help. Out of selfishness, she said, "Don't think so much. Just think of one thing. Are you willing to give it up?"
That's right, she said this out of selfish motives... Because even though she saw what kind of person the real Kurosawa Hikaru was and realized that he was a fickle and playboy, she still wanted to help him.
Because she has seen too many people like this in the entertainment industry. Although she has always hated this kind of people, what Kurosawa Hikaru did just happened to be on the edge of being hated.
Whether you are being honest with each other or before officially deciding on a relationship, your relationship with a girl should be limited to kissing and not cross the line.
Including these, but not only that, her selfishness is very complicated... so complicated that it is difficult to explain it in one sentence.
She was immersed in her own world. As a bystander and outsider, she completely ignored Chizuru's mood and state at the time. One sentence forced Chizuru to make a choice between a dilemma.
However, human endurance is limited. If it exceeds this limit, the person will collapse.
"Ding Dong."
At this moment, a reminder bell rang in the silent room.
Hearing the voice, Igarashi Runa came to his senses and looked in the direction of the sound and saw Chizuru's cell phone.
It lay on the soft bed, near the head of the bed but not under the thin blanket.
Facing this prompt sound, the bulging hill did not move at all, and Ninomiya Chizuru still wrapped herself in the quilt.
Because of the angle, she saw that the phone's screen was awakened by a prompt sound, which was a notification bar prompt from Line.
However, she couldn’t see clearly what the content was because the phone was facing her upside down.
That could be a message from Kurosawa Hikaru... or it could be someone else's message. After all, they are all adults, and they have jobs to work on and a large social circle, so it is normal for them to have a lot of messages.
Igarashi Runa stared for a long time, until the phone screen went into sleep mode again, and she found that Chizuru had no intention of looking at it.
There are two possible results.
The first possibility is that she didn't notice it and was completely immersed in her own world. She was still in a state of depression and had no time to care about what was happening around her.
The second possibility is that she noticed it, but she no longer cared and was completely heartbroken.
If it were the first case, it would be fine. As long as Kurosawa Mitsuru put in some effort and find a way to make Chizuru happy, she might be able to get over this blow.
If it is the second case, then the matter is very serious. People who are extremely disappointed and completely collapsed are likely to have a drastic change in their temperament in the future.
"No... Is that really Kurosawa Hikaru's message?"
While thinking, Igarashi Runa suddenly thought of something.
If Chizuru went to see it as soon as she heard the news, but found out that it was not her... If Kurosawa Mitsuru had respected each other's choices as he said at the beginning, the problem would only have become more serious.
Thinking of this possibility, she couldn't help but stand up, walk over, and want to wake up her phone to take a look.
"!"
When Igarashi Runa walked to the bedside, reached out and was about to press the wake-up button on her mobile phone, she was suddenly startled.
Because a hand suddenly stretched out from the quilt, grabbed the phone, and then dragged it into the dark abyss.
Seeing this scene, Igarashi Runa froze at the head of the bed, her heart pounding wildly.
I have to say, Chizuru in her mentally ill state is just as scary as ever.
It was like this last time, and it is like this now.
"Does she want to see it first? Or is she rejecting me?"
While feeling a bit unsatisfied, Igarashi Runa looked at the airtight quilt and thought in amazement.
Silence and indifference are terrible for any relationship.
By contrast, open communication is a good sign for all relationships... except arguments.
Suddenly, she realized... In this matter, the person Chizuru might hate was not only Kurosawa Hikaru, but also her.
Because after the game, she helped Kurosawa Hikaru more than once and rescued him many times.
As long as Chizuru thought about all these things, it was possible that she would suspect that she had bad intentions and harbor resentment towards her.
Just as she was daydreaming, a gap suddenly appeared in the quilt, and the arm appeared again, pushing the phone out.
"Is she asking me to look at my phone? Or what does it mean?"
Seeing this scene, Igarashi Runa didn't dare to move. She was not sure what Chizuru was thinking.
"Runa."
At this moment, a hoarse crying voice came from under the quilt.
"I am here."
Igarashi Runa was startled and responded immediately.
"I'm hungry, how about you?"
"I'm hungry too, what do you want to eat?"
Hearing this, Igarashi Runa was stunned and asked the same question.
It was already past 4pm, almost 5pm, but they both had breakfast at 7am, and they had eaten very little, so they were already starving.
"Fried pork cutlet and porridge."
"Okay, you can eat whatever you want."
Igarashi Runa nodded happily and agreed.
Not to mention fried pork chops, as long as she wants to eat, I will make anything for her.
She was afraid that Qianhe would continue to be depressed like this, neglecting sleep and food, and refusing to eat or drink.
Even if it is a revengeful eating binge, at least it is a way to vent, rather than holding it in.
"Ding Dong."
Before she could leave, her cell phone rang again.
The next moment, a hand took the phone in.
"Was that really the message from Kurosawa just now?"
After seeing this scene, even though Igarashi Runa didn't have time to see it clearly, he already had the answer in his mind.
"I'm going to buy some food."
Igarashi Runa didn't disturb him. She just said a word, then stood up and walked outside.
The air conditioner was on in the bedroom. When she walked out of the room and came to the living room, the weather became hot and humid because of the rain, and she felt like she was in another world.
However, she did not stop, but walked straight to the door, put on her shoes, took her umbrella, and walked out of the apartment.
The entertainment industry is like a magnifying glass. It will infinitely magnify human nature. When you are in it, you will see many different kinds of people.
Even a man with good character will become bad after he becomes rich.
Even a smart woman will become stupid once she falls in love.
This is neither a good thing nor a bad thing, but a reality, a very pathological phenomenon.
Under Japan's sick social system, this sick phenomenon is displayed vividly.
There are many stars and idols who, when they debuted, were passionate and supported each other with their friends and made progress together.
But later on, he drifted away from his old friends, and even became enemies with them, but he reached the peak of his career and life.
The key is opportunity, or chance. Once a choice is made, the path of life will change.
When people stand in different environments, the choices they face will also change.
"I hope things can go back to how they were before..."
Igarashi Runa took the elevator, walked out of the apartment, got into her car, and then set off.
The moment the car starts, traffic lights and accidents are inevitable, but the car will eventually reach its destination.
She didn't want to judge who was right or wrong today. She just hoped that the world would not trap everyone in this painful day, but continue to move forward and reach a better future.
She wanted to get together as the three of them did before, to discuss the company's development direction and imagine the future together.
She wanted the three of them to sit together, drink and eat together like before.
No one enjoys pain, everyone yearns for beauty.
…
Ninomiya Chizuru was still hiding in the quilt. She lay on her side holding her mobile phone, looking at the messages on Line. She licked her bitten lips with her tongue. It was very painful and had a strange sweet taste of blood.
In the phone, there are two messages sent by a person with the note "Light".
"sorry."
"How are you?"
"I am fine."
Seeing these two messages, the stubbornness in her heart drove her fingers to type a few words, but she couldn't send them.
"Not at all."
Then she deleted the message. The grievance and sadness in her heart surged up in her mind. She typed a new message and hesitated before sending it.
"Not at all!"
Filled with grief and anger, she pressed the delete key and replaced the symbol, trying to emphasize her anger.
However, no matter what message she typed, she didn't have the courage to press the send button.
Because when she tried to respond, two images appeared before her eyes like nightmares.
That was the scene where Kurosawa kissed Ichinose Yuki, and then he turned around and kissed Shihouin Mirai.
It hurts. It hurts so much.
These two scenes still make her feel heartbroken and difficult to let go.
"Didn't you say you respected my choice? Why are you looking for me for anything?"
After hesitating, Ninomiya Chizuru changed her reply.
However, no matter what content she changed, she didn't dare to send the message... She didn't dare to respond.
Not all words can be spoken, including information.
No matter what the content is, the send button is like a button for making a choice... When people are faced with difficult choices, they always hesitate and have their own concerns.
