"How was today's shoot?"
Unlike the sneaky behavior just now, when facing Ninomiya Chizuru, Kurosawa Mitsuru put his arm around her waist, which was very open and aboveboard.
Whether it's from an emotional or relationship perspective, such things happen naturally.
“It’s quite interesting.”
Chizuru Ninomiya recalls her experience of being the heroine of an MV today and feels it is very fresh.
She had never dreamed of becoming an actress before, but because of this, the unexpected experience gave her a very novel feeling.
"Speaking of which, do you still remember our agreement?"
Kurosawa Mitsuru saw the corners of her lips slightly raised and chuckled, then thought about it and asked.
"What agreement?"
Leaning on his arm, Ninomiya Chizuru was a little confused.
"Did you forget the promise to buy me a car?"
Upon finding that she was not aware of it, Kurosawa Mitsuo pretended to be surprised.
"I heard from Runa that if you just shoot a commercial, the agency will earn hundreds of millions, and we will split the money when the time comes. It's completely simple for you to buy a car. Do you still need me to buy it for you?"
After getting the answer, Ninomiya Chizuru came to her senses, and then raised her eyes to look at his profile with a somewhat resentful look.
Unlike before, now Kurosawa, as Zero Hour, is well-known throughout the country and is even famous overseas.
Her savings of less than 1 billion were not even enough to cover the cost of him signing a few more contracts.
Although she didn't want to admit it, she felt that she was a little unworthy of Kurosawa.
Kurosawa is really amazing. In just over a month, he has transformed himself into a superstar... and this is not his end, he will only get better in the future.
"You can't say that. Although I can buy it, I would rather you buy it for me."
In response to this statement, Kurosawa Mitsuru tilted his head slightly and refuted.
"Why?"
Ninomiya Chizuru raised the corner of her mouth slightly, but still pretended not to understand and asked.
"Because I want the car you gave me, and I need an answer."
Seeing that she asked the question even though she knew the answer, Kurosawa Hikaru was not afraid to speak.
Perhaps saying this is like asking for a gift, which is not very polite or courteous.
But as an older sister's girlfriend, Chizuru prefers to take care of others rather than being taken care of.
Maybe it was because she wanted to be needed, or maybe it was because of the age difference. As the older one, she wanted to do something rather than do nothing.
"Answer?"
Ninomiya Chizuru was a little confused.
"Do you have an answer for making peace with me?"
Kurosawa Hikaru nodded slightly and looked down at her.
In fact, it is really easy for him to buy a car now.
What's more, he doesn't even need to spend a penny. He can get a few luxury cars just by telling Brother Zhenyi.
But if he did that, it would mean he owed someone a favor.
In this world, the most difficult debt to pay off is the debt of favor.
Knowing this matter well, he is more accustomed to solving it himself rather than asking others for help.
Having said that, he was happy to owe a favor to Chizuru Ninomiya.
Because people's relationships will continue to improve in the process of helping each other.
Today, Chizuru Ninomiya gave him a car, and he will find a way to repay this kindness in the future.
"Next time when I have a day off, we'll go buy a car."
Ninomiya Chizuru looked at him seriously for a few times, lowered her head, clasped her hands together, and opened and closed her fingers, feeling a little nervous and expectant.
If she still didn't understand what Kurosawa Hikaru said so clearly, then she was really too slow.
There needs to be an opportunity for complete reconciliation between them.
Maybe their relationship and feelings can be considered reconciled now... But after all, they had a fight before, and there is a gap between them, which is not natural enough.
Just like today, maybe we can sit together hugging each other, but it is still far from the same as before.
"Then I'll wait for your holiday."
Seeing her little movement, Kurosawa Mitsuru stretched out his right hand, held her slender hand, and smiled.
"Don't be so happy. You won't have a holiday until next week."
Ninomiya Chizuru was very happy to find that he was very happy, but she still rolled her eyes at him.
Is this brother so easily satisfied
"Don't even mention a week, I'll wait for a month."
Kurosawa Hikaru didn't bother about this at all. In fact, it didn't matter whether it was a car or not. As long as she was willing to reconcile with him, that was enough.
The most important thing is, if we use this as an opportunity... then we don't have to wait until he gets Miss Runa and fulfills her three requests before we can reconcile.
"It won't take that long..."
Seeing that he couldn't contain his joy, Ninomiya Chizuru's heartstrings were moved. Her eyes softened a little and she lowered her head and spoke softly.
In fact, she couldn't wait any longer... otherwise she wouldn't have resigned so resolutely.
Unfortunately, after the summer vacation, a lot of changes happened, so that their relationship stagnated for a time and even regressed.
Having said that, by the time they reconcile, their relationship may be a natural progression.
"I'm sorry about what happened just now. I thought I had to be careful since we were dating today, but I couldn't help myself."
Seeing her tender side, Kurosawa Hikaru thought about what happened just now and felt a little embarrassed.
Logically speaking, he should be able to control himself when faced with a girl's active contact... For example, when Matsushita Tong deliberately tried to tease him under the table, he was completely unmoved.
But he didn't know what happened today. Faced with Miss Runa's unguarded approach and her indulgence in pretending not to notice, he couldn't help but tease her.
Perhaps it was because deep in his heart, he had buried a feeling for her a long time ago... Or it could be because of Chizuru's instigation, her determination to win, and the sudden arrival of a good opportunity, which made him subconsciously take action.
"You mean you were holding Runa's waist?"
When Ninomiya Chizuru heard this, she was stunned for a moment and then asked.
"Yes." Kurosawa Mitsuru nodded honestly.
"Then the person you should apologize to is not me, but her."
"I know, but I have to apologize to you too."
"Actually, I wasn't angry when you did something to Runa in front of me... No, I was still a little angry."
"Are you angry or not?"
Kurosawa Hikaru found that her statements were inconsistent and suddenly felt confused.
The saying that a woman's heart is as unfathomable as the sea is true.
Whether it is Chizuru or Mirai, they are the type whose thoughts are hard to guess. Only Yuki's thoughts are easier to guess.
"I'm angry because you only looked at her and didn't look at me the whole time."
Because of his frank attitude, Ninomiya Chizuru glared at him with some dissatisfaction.
"I promise you, it will never happen again."
Realizing the root cause of her unhappiness, Kurosawa Hikaru admitted his mistakes and corrected them as soon as he knew them.
"That's not necessary. Just don't lose sight of the big picture."
Ninomiya Chizuru shook her head and didn't say anything decisive.
It would be bad if this incident completely extinguished Kurosawa's affection and desire for Runa.
Even though she was angry just now, she still chose to go to the bathroom to adjust her mood because of this concern.
She had already discovered that before she took the initiative to express her expectations, Kurosawa really had no feelings for Runa.
"Um."
Kurosawa Mitsuru also kept this request in mind.
At this moment, Ninomiya Chizuru suddenly pushed away her arms, sat up straight, left his arms, moved her buttocks, adjusted her seat, and kept some distance.
"What's wrong?"
Noticing her sudden action, Kurosawa Mitsuru was a little confused and looked around.
However, he did not see Igarashi Runa.
In other words, Chizuru suddenly distanced herself not because she didn't want Miss Runa to see their intimate sitting together.
"I'm so sorry to bother you."
Soon, a waitress came over with the dishes and placed them on the table.
After putting down the two dishes, she held the tray in front of her, bowed slightly, and left.
“Is it necessary to be so cautious?”
When the female clerk left, Kurosawa Hikaru realized why she kept her distance and was a little surprised.
"It's necessary. Once your new MV is released, everyone will realize that I'm Ling Shi's girlfriend. If people notice how close we are before that, then wouldn't your identity be exposed?"
Ninomiya Chizuru nodded and explained.
As she spoke, she stood up and sat directly on the sofa opposite.
That’s right, there are two sofas in total, but just now the three of them were squeezed on one sofa.
But this is normal, because I have to watch the video... Although from the results, I didn't finish watching it.
"Indeed." When Kurosawa Mitsuru saw her actions, he wanted to stop her but he was speechless.
Not long after, Igarashi Runa came back.
Unlike the loss she felt when she left just now, when she returned again, her steps were brisk, as if she was in a good mood.
"Why are you sitting here?"
However, as she walked to the table, Igarashi Runa looked at Kurosawa Hikaru, then at Chizuru, and couldn't help but ask.
As she spoke, she couldn't help but glance at Kurosawa Hikaru.
Could it be that while she was in the bathroom just now, calming down alone and changing her mood, Kurosawa had made Chizuru angry again
Facing her suspicious gaze, Kurosawa Hikaru seemed to be able to read her mind and shook his head to deny it.
"The waiter has started serving the food. When Ling Shi's new music video is released, I will be known as Ling Shi's girlfriend. I cannot let anyone see me getting too close to him."
Just then, Ninomiya Chizuru explained.
"I see."
When Igarashi Runa learned the reason, she was immediately relieved and sat down.
The seat she chose was next to Chizuru. As for next to Kurosawa Hikaru, Chizuru had already sat opposite her. Even if she had a hundred times the courage, she would not dare to sit back in her original seat.
Because of the little incident just now, the rest of the dinner was normal.
…
After eating and drinking and resting and chatting for a while, Kurosawa Hikaru and his group walked out of the restaurant.
"Ms. Runa, we have to go back to Tokyo. You drove for so long this morning. I will drive you home."
When they arrived in front of the car, Kurosawa Mitsuru also said.
Whether out of sympathy for the woman or out of a sense of indebtedness, he felt that he had to do something.
After all... he just took advantage of Miss Runa and touched her sexy waist.
"No, I've been free all day. As a photographer, you've been shooting for so long, you're actually more tired than me. Just let me drive."
Igarashi Runa took the car keys from her pocket and shook her head.
Because she said this, Kurosawa Mitsuru had no choice but to get in the car and sit in the back seat.
“Although Runa seems easy to talk to, she is actually quite strong-willed… No matter what the matter is, as long as it is a good thing, she will want to do her part.”
Kurosawa Hikaru had just sat down when Ninomiya Chizuru, who got on the car right after him, came up to him and whispered.
"But I always feel it's not good to let her be the driver all the time."
Although such moral character and personality are good, Kurosawa Mitsuru always feels embarrassed.
"Just follow her wishes, but you can't take it for granted. This is her way of expressing her kindness."
Ninomiya Chizuru saw his depression and snickered.
"I see."
Because the lights in the back seat of the car were still on, Kurosawa Mitsuru was also amused when he saw her giggling.
When you like someone, everything will reveal itself unintentionally, from words to eyes, and even to actions.
Just like now, Chizuru should like Runa very much, so she will be particularly happy when she mentions Miss Runa's strengths and weaknesses.
As for taking other people's kindness for granted, he would never do that.
At the same time, Igarashi Runa walked around the car, looked at the surrounding environment, confirmed that there was no problem, and opened the driver's door.
“I have been busy until very late without realizing it. It will probably be after 11 when I get home… I woke up very early this morning and now I have to take a night train. Why don’t I stay in a hotel in Nagano for a night’s rest and go back tomorrow?”
However, Igarashi Runa did not get in the car immediately. Instead, she looked at the two people in the back seat and made a suggestion.
"Are you tired? Let me drive."
Hearing this, Kurosawa Mitsuru immediately recommended himself.
"Runa, I have to go to work tomorrow."
Ninomiya Chizuru understood her best friend very well and knew that she wanted to stay the night outside on purpose, so she rolled her eyes at her and reminded her.
The fact that she was able to come to the shoot today was already a result of taking leave... If she stayed in Nagano for one night and returned to Tokyo tomorrow, it would be at least noon, and she would definitely be late.
"If you have to go to work tomorrow morning, you should go back to Tokyo."
After noticing that their reactions were different, Igarashi Runa thought about it and gave up the idea of assisting them.
"Ms. Runa, let me open it."
Having decided to return, Kurosawa Hikaru repeated the decision because he didn't get a response.
"No, I'll drive it."
Igarashi Runa sat directly in the driver's seat, not giving him a chance to take over.
Soon, the car started and set off on the journey back to Tokyo.
"Kurosawa, when are you going to release your new MV?"
The journey home is long, and Ninomiya Chizuru sits in the back seat and takes the initiative to find topics to talk about.
"It depends on Ms. Runa's arrangement. I don't really understand the best timing for artists to release songs."
After hearing this, Kurosawa Mitsuru thought about it and did not make a decision immediately. Instead, he passed the ball to the front seat.
Things are different now. He is no longer alone and has many people around him.
Faced with many things, he cannot make decisions arbitrarily, but still has to consider everyone's thoughts.
"If the MV can be edited quickly enough, we can release it this week. You have a performance at the end of the month. As your first official performance, we can release more songs to better promote it."
Igarashi Runa glanced at Kurosawa Hikaru through the rearview mirror and responded.
"Does Kurosawa have a show at the end of the month?"
It was the first time that Ninomiya Chizuru heard this and was surprised.
"Yes, and this performance is extremely important. The value of the zero hour depends on the number of tickets sold for this performance."
Igarashi Runa nodded slightly, looked ahead and drove seriously, and added.
No matter what kind of artist it is, the ability to monetize is the most important indicator.
Although Lingshi is extremely popular on the Internet nowadays, his ability to monetize remains to be verified.
Even though she knew that Zero Hour had a strong ability to make money, such as attracting tens of billions of dollars in contracts and ten billion in game endorsements, the world did not know about these private matters.
"There's not much time left this month, so it's only next week, right?"
Ninomiya Chizuru seemed to be thinking about something, and then confirmed it.
"Yes, next Wednesday, August 31st."
Igarashi Runa nodded slightly and explained.
"Would it be Wednesday? Would it be better to have it on Friday or the weekend?"
Ninomiya Chizuru took out her cell phone, looked at the calendar, and expressed her own opinions.
Although she is not a person in the industry, from common sense, no matter what kind of event it is, it is definitely better to hold it on the weekend than on weekdays.
"There are pros and cons. If the audience can still be full on Wednesday, it will show the influence of Zero Hour."
"Kurosawa, how long will it take you to finish cutting it?" Ninomiya Chizuru thought for a moment and asked.
"I'll edit it after I wake up tomorrow. I'm not sure how long it will take yet." Kurosawa Hikaru had no idea about this because he hadn't completed his date mission with Chizuru yet, and his computer-audio and video editing skill was still in the experience card stage.
In fact, he currently has no relevant knowledge... The experience card will not work until he holds the video and sits in front of the computer.
"Don't be anxious. This is a new MV for the public, a very meaningful first MV. It's better to ensure the quality of the finished product than a half-finished product that is rushed. Don't just do something shoddy to make it look good."
At this moment, Igarashi Runa also spoke.
"Slow work makes fine work, just take your time."
Ninomiya Chizuru also thought it made sense.
"Sister Chizuru."
Seeing her nod in agreement, Kurosawa Mitsuru thought for a moment and suddenly said.
"What's wrong?"
Upon hearing this, Ninomiya Chizuru looked at him with some confusion.
"If you give me a kiss, it will definitely cut faster and the quality of the finished product will be better."
Following her gaze, Kurosawa Hikaru leaned close to her ear and whispered softly.
"What does this have to do with anything?"
Ninomiya Chizuru, who originally thought he was going to say something serious, rolled her eyes at him unhappily after hearing this.
"Yes, it does matter, because when people are in a good mood, their work efficiency will improve and their attitude will be more positive."
Seeing that she was unwilling, Kurosawa Hikaru did not give up and made up a story.
This date mission is quite special. Even if you complete the task of making her kiss you, there is still the unfinished goal of shooting a high-scoring MV with her as the heroine. There is no way to make the experience card of the Computer - Audio and Video Editing skill permanent.
Of course, if Chizuru could give him a kiss, he would definitely be more proactive in his attitude when doing things.
After all, most of the time on today's date was spent working... and with Ms. Runa present, there was no other physical contact between the two of them except for hugging.
It is no exaggeration to say that this date, in terms of the number and degree of contact... is not even as good as the night when Chizuru ran to his house.
If he went home and slept like this, he would definitely not sleep well tonight.
"no."
Ninomiya Chizuru glanced at the seat in front of her and felt a little embarrassed.
Even if she did something intimate with Kurosawa in front of strangers, she would feel embarrassed... let alone in front of her good sisters.
"Just once, really just once."
Seeing that she refused, Kurosawa Mitsuru started to persuade her with both soft and hard methods.
"Let's talk about it next time we're alone, okay?"
Ninomiya Chizuru shook her head, looked ahead, and coaxed him.
"All right."
Faced with her concerns, although Kurosawa Mitsuru felt it was a pity, he had no choice but to give up. He took a reluctant look at her delicate and tempting lips and sat down obediently.
As he compromised, Ninomiya Chizuru saw him retract his head and sit down with disappointment, and she immediately softened her heart.
"Anyway, Runa will be like me in the future, and no one will be able to laugh at anyone else."
After hesitating for a few seconds, Ninomiya Chizuru made up her mind and went for it.
After thinking about it, Ninomiya Chizuru looked at his lips, pursed her lips slightly, moistened her lips, and then moved her face closer.
This kiss was like two clouds intertwining, soft and gentle, or like a dragonfly touching the water, leaving immediately.
The sudden kiss stunned Kurosawa Mitsuru. He widened his eyes and looked at her in disbelief.
"Just for a moment."
Seeing his surprised look, Ninomiya Chizuru felt a little relieved. As their lips separated, she slowly sat back in her original position and whispered with her face hot.
However, just as she sat down, Kurosawa Mitsuru responded by kissing her directly on the lips.
Different from the light kiss just now, this kiss was firm and intense.
"Sister Chizuru, I love you."
After kissing her lips, Kurosawa Hikaru looked into her eyes, seeing her surprise, his eyes were full of love.
Maybe it was just a kiss, but it was the first time she had kissed herself since the Kyudo Tournament.
And unlike the last time at his house, when they agreed to kiss on the face, this time she chose to kiss his lips.
The significance of this incident is very important because it represents an attitude.
Although a lot of things happened from last night to today, such as he smelled of other women's perfume, and during dinner tonight, he was obsessed and flirted with Miss Runa.
Although this happened, she still chose to kiss him on the lips.
This kiss represented the burying of past grudges and expressed her feelings.
Men are not good at expressing emotions, but they are also good at responding.
When a man is loved, he feels it very clearly.
Faced with his sudden kiss and confession, Ninomiya Chizuru didn't know how to react for a moment.
"I love you too."
However, when she met Kurosawa's loving eyes, her surprise suddenly disappeared and turned into endless tenderness, and she already had the answer in her heart.
