Early morning is a relatively quiet time of the day.
Because at this time, a normal working person will sleep and rest.
Even if people don't go to bed that early, they will go back to their homes at this time, or have a midnight snack outside.
Under the cover of night, the streets and alleys have become quiet, but on the Internet, at this time, it is still bustling.
“The prelude to ‘Adeelina by the Water’ is absolutely amazing.”
“The treasure of the station!”
"God of the piano!"
Those who have heard Zero Hour's piano music before and know that today is the day when a new single is released, all log on to YouTube with their mobile phones to listen to the new work.
Not only Japan, but even other countries across the ocean have heard the news one after another and are listening to the new songs.
Not everyone will go to watch the video of the Kawai Piano Competition at the Tokyo Bunka Kaikan.
Not everyone will go to watch the premiere on time.
But it doesn’t matter if you don’t listen to it first.
Things of value will never be buried forever.
When the diamond breaks through the dust, stands on the tower, and radiates light, people will surely see its brilliance.
"This song must be inspired by God, it's unbelievable, it touches the soul!"
“Its melody is really beautiful!”
"Great Zero Hour, the best and most beautiful piano music I have ever heard, may God bless your life!"
“I think Zero must have had a rich life to be able to express himself so well through music!”
"Adilina's aura of pureness and otherworldliness is so beautiful! How can she be so beautiful?"
When faced with truly beautiful things, people always express their praise sincerely.
It’s just that the world is so big, and all kinds of things are happening all the time around the world.
In less than an hour, Lingshi’s new work "Adeline by the Water" directly caused a sensation in Japan, and even topped the music charts in various areas of YouTube in a short period of time.
Because its playback volume and number of likes are increasing at such an exaggerated speed, it seems that it has caused a sensation as soon as it came out.
Your opponents understand you better and pay more attention to your performance than your friends.
In the Japanese entertainment industry, every agency is keeping a close eye on the data.
"One hour, 5.83 million views..."
"The speed at which Master Zero Time rises is simply unstoppable."
“Is the discussion on Twitter so intense?”
"He's so good at masking, why can't our masked artists become popular?"
When the time came to 1 a.m., all the artist agencies were shocked, and even more jealous and troubled.
You know, Zero Hour’s rise as a masked artist is so fast that it is simply unheard of.
Whether it is the exaggerated level of discussion or the terrifying traffic data, people in the industry are really envious.
Since Zero Hour debuted, various agencies have done a lot of research, formulated new strategies, and invested resources in an attempt to follow suit and get a piece of the pie.
However, no matter how much they studied Zero Hour's rise, they ended up becoming a cat instead of a tiger.
People in the industry focus on data and results, while people outside the industry focus on things that interest them.
At the same time, as the topic fermented for an hour, fans were no longer completely immersed in the single MV video, and the battlefield of discussion shifted to Twitter in large numbers.
Of course, not everyone is like this. There are still many people who are active in their respective group chats or even private chats.
However, even though some people did not come, there were too many people paying attention to the new song.
There were 860,000 people watching the premiere alone, not to mention that there were many people who didn’t know about the premiere function and just came to watch the video because it was about time.
With such a huge crowd, if even one percent of them express opinions, there would be tens of thousands of people.
On the Twitter hot list, the topic "Adeline is a professor at the University of Tokyo" was directly pushed to the top of the Japanese Twitter in a short period of time.
People were discussing this topic crazily, and many people were communicating with others under the tweets promoting the new song trailer at midnight.
Originally, the first hot comment under the new song preview tweet was the support from the well-known YouTuber Kitajima Shizuka, but now it has been suppressed by a comment.
"The actress who plays Adeline, whose real name is Ninomiya Chizuru, is a second-year teacher in the Department of Economics at the University of Tokyo. During her time at school, she was elected Miss Tokyo for four consecutive terms and was hailed as the most beautiful Miss Tokyo in history. As a student representative, she spoke at student conferences many times and holds a doctorate in economics from the University of Tokyo. At the age of 25, she successfully passed the university teaching certificate and returned to Tokyo as a teacher. She is the youngest female teacher in the history of Tokyo University... She has resigned for unknown reasons."
Because the introduction was too detailed, the number of comments below this comment exploded.
"Is she really a teacher from the University of East?"
"No wonder Adilina has such a good temperament, it turns out she is a top student and beauty from the University of Tokyo."
"She's so beautiful and studies so hard, isn't that amazing?"
"Master Zero Time is so powerful that he even invited a professor from the University of Tokyo to be the female lead in the MV."
"She was elected Miss East for four consecutive terms... I seem to have an impression of her. I've seen her in the news before."
"The floor master knows so much, but do you know the relationship between Ninomiya Chizuru and Master Lingshi?"
"The floor master is so powerful, do you know the true identity of the master of zero time?"
"I don't know either. I am a student of Teacher Ninomiya. I only know about her glorious deeds in the past."
Life is busy and no one will take love to heart because there are too many troubles.
Having said that, when a man and a woman are involved, the first relationship and emotion that people think of must be love.
What's more, this MV also tells a love story, which makes people even more curious.
The audience is very persistent about pairing together.
Especially when a man and a woman are talented and beautiful, and people feel that they are a perfect match, they will pursue perfection.
Everyone has a love for beauty... This is not just about the pursuit of beautiful women and handsome men, but also about all beautiful things.
Whether it is love, family, friendship, or youth, as long as it is a truly beautiful thing, people will envy it.
…
"Sure enough, the student from the University of East China was definitely the first one to recognize it."
At the Zero Hour Agency, Chizuru Ninomiya saw the most popular comment on Twitter and muttered to herself.
The people who know her better than her colleagues are definitely a large number of students.
The most important thing is that teachers at the University of Tokyo are generally very busy. Even during summer vacation, they usually maintain the habit of going to bed early and getting up early.
Because even during summer vacation, Tokyo University teachers are actually very busy, with many extracurricular activities such as lectures and cram schools.
Students are students after all. Without jobs, they tend to relax during summer vacation. It is not surprising that they surf the Internet during such time.
"Is Chizuru-sister the most beautiful Miss Todai in history?"
Kurosawa Hikaru didn't know who the person who left the hot comment was. After all, one's online name couldn't easily reveal a person's real identity. But he was surprised by such detailed information.
"Re-elected Miss East for four consecutive terms... Are you that amazing, Chizuru?"
Igarashi Runa was amazed.
Neon has a mysterious obsession with beauty pageants.
Even a serious top university like the University of Tokyo is not immune to this. Every year during the school festival, they hold the "Miss & Mr. Tokyo University Selection" to select the Mr. and Miss Tokyo University of the year. Among them, the campus beauty competition attracts more attention and its influence even spreads outside the school.
"This is to prepare for the teacher qualification exam. The more active you are, the more attention the school will pay to you."
Ninomiya Chizuru felt a sense of pleasure in her heart when her past glorious achievements were accidentally discovered, but she still kept a straight face and spoke seriously.
"Stop laughing."
However, no matter how well she managed her expression, she soon couldn't hold it in anymore because the two people were laughing at her. She laughed in annoyance and touched them with her hands.
Smiles are contagious. Even if you don't want to smile, when you see others smiling and looking happy, you will smile involuntarily.
"Hahaha."
Seeing her embarrassed and angry look, Kurosawa Hikaru and Igarashi Runa were stopped by her hands. While dodging, their ticklish spots were touched and they laughed even more happily.
"Chizuru is so beautiful, so she is Miss Todai... Kurosawa you are so handsome, are you Mr. Todai?"
After playing for a while, Igarashi Runa became curious.
She was not a student of Tokyo University before, so she didn't know much about the affairs of this university.
"No, I don't have the heart to participate in a beauty pageant." Kurosawa Hikaru shook his head.
He was admitted to the University of Tokyo last year. Because the students at this prestigious institution are so talented and outstanding, he worked even harder than before college and studied like crazy.
He would avoid participating in social activities and beauty pageants if possible.
"Although he didn't participate in the beauty pageant, many people think he is the uncrowned Mr. Tokyo University."
Having been laughed at just now, Ninomiya Chizuru felt a little resentful and revealed the news.
Perhaps beauty pageants are not only about looks, but also about talent.
But whether in appearance or talent, Kurosawa Hikaru is undoubtedly outstanding.
Compared with Mr. Kurosawa Mitsuru, last year's Todai was far inferior in appearance and temperament.
"The uncrowned king? It seems that Kurosawa is very popular in the University of Tokyo."
When Igarashi Runa heard this, she looked carefully at Kurosawa Hikaru's handsome face and couldn't help but sigh.
This guy's looks are really amazing, and when she first saw Kurosawa and Chizuru dating, she decided to be their wingman soon after because she thought they looked a good match.
If Kurosawa wasn't handsome enough, she would probably have obstructed him even if he had shown himself to be a very loyal person at the time.
After all, she has had a best friend for so many years, who is so beautiful and outstanding, and an ugly guy is not worthy of her.
"He is very popular. Since he entered the school, he has had many suitors. They have been around him all day long. Many senior students even came to the economics department to have a peek at him. Especially this year when the freshmen entered the school, the junior students were so enthusiastic when they saw him."
Speaking of this, Chizuru Ninomiya has made another revelation.
"Since I entered the school? Has Sister Chizuru paid so much attention to me so early?"
Maybe it was because of the revelations, but Kurosawa Hikaru not only didn't care, but laughed and joked.
He still doesn't know when Sister Qianzuru fell in love with him... But this sentence revealed a lot of information.
"You are a student of the Ninomiya Group, I think it would be difficult for me not to know."
Facing his smiling gaze, Ninomiya Chizuru suddenly felt guilty and shy. She tucked her hair behind her ears, played with her hair with her hands, and said calmly.
Although she fell in love with Kurosawa at first sight, she did not dare to admit it.
After all, falling in love with someone at first sight is too cheap and is purely based on lust.
Following her reaction, Kurosawa Hikaru and Igarashi Runa subconsciously looked at each other, and then smiled at each other.
When Ninomiya Chizuru feels guilty, lies, or is being tsundere, she will subconsciously tidy up her appearance. It is her little habit.
Strangers may not know this, but acquaintances know her little habit.
“When will the official announcement be made?”
Seeing their tacit smile, Ninomiya Chizuru felt guilty and turned to face the notebook.
"It's about time. Let me take a look."
Igarashi Runa noticed that she was changing the subject, so she didn't tease her. Instead, she smiled, shook her head, and took out her cell phone.
After all, they are three people, and none of them are professionals, so it is difficult for them to fully control public opinion and topics.
That's why she found a professional team to handle it.
"All data are almost up to standard. We'll send it out in five minutes."
Igarashi Runa exchanged a few words and soon came to a conclusion.
The reason why it was not officially announced right away was due to interests, results, and considerations at various levels.
If Chizuru wants to put aside her label as a teacher at the University of Tokyo and cover it with the identity of Lingshi’s girlfriend, she must make careful plans.
Official announcement alone is not enough, because if you want to change people's impression, more shocking changes are necessary.
If most people's first impression of Ninomiya Chizuru is her girlfriend, and later someone revealed that she was a female teacher at the University of Tokyo and suddenly resigned, the controversial topic is likely to shatter the previous impression.
That's right, their strategy is to let people know that Ninomiya Chizuru is a teacher at the University of Tokyo first, and then announce her identity as Zero Hour's girlfriend.
"good."
Ninomiya Chizuru nodded slightly, then held the mouse to operate the computer and started reading the comments.
Humans are very strange creatures. They don't like being judged or criticized, but they also want to know what others think of them.
Following her movements, Kurosawa Hikaru also leaned forward slightly and looked with her.
Noticing his behavior, Ninomiya Chizuru also changed her operating method and began to point at one comment after another with the mouse cursor and read them together.
When two people do something together, it is a very enjoyable activity.
Experiencing something together and knowing the synchronization rate of something will make people more familiar with it.
But before they could seize the little time left to read the comments together, Apple's classic cell phone ringtone suddenly rang, interrupting the event.
When multiple people are acting together, if someone suddenly receives a phone call, the others will tacitly keep quiet and look.
"I'm going out to answer a phone call."
Chizuru Ninomiya was wearing a skirt without pockets and her cell phone was on the table. As the ringing sounded, she looked over and saw the caller's note. She couldn't help but pursed her lips.
Immediately, she took her phone, stood up, and walked out the door.
She is very tall, with slender arms, and every move she makes is very graceful.
As she moved, Kurosawa Hikaru and Igarashi Runa both saw that the caller's note on the phone screen was "Mom".
Soon, Chizuru Ninomiya walked out of the lounge, went to the corridor, and closed the door.
"Card."
As the door was gently closed, Kurosawa Hikaru and Igarashi Runa, who had been watching the figure's back, simultaneously withdrew their gazes and looked at each other.
The next moment, without any hesitation, they all stood up and followed.
Soon, the two of them bent down together and put their ears to the door to eavesdrop.
Perhaps eavesdropping on other people's phone calls is very impolite, but human curiosity can serve as a driving force and lead to many actions.
Through the door, they heard Ninomiya Chizuru's one-sided words:
"Mom, I don't want to be an artist."
"I'm not messing around, I'm starting a business."
"I opened an artist agency with my friends."
"Does it matter whether the rate of return is high or not? As long as we don't lose money, it's fine."
"I am very sure about my investments and I am not impulsive."
"You're not the only ones who act in a measured way. I'm that old, and I have a PhD."
"Just because you're not married doesn't mean you haven't grown up yet. I don't like the ones you introduced to me."
"It's not that I'm disobedient or ignorant, it's just that I have a partner."
"You don't need to investigate what kind of person he is. You will know it later."
"I still have work to do. I'll hang up now."
Even though Chizuru Ninomiya, who is usually calm and composed, speaks with a bit of impatience and annoyance when talking to her mother.
Hearing this, Kurosawa Hikaru and Igarashi Runa were suddenly startled and quickly turned around and slipped away.
It is not easy to move quietly without being noticed and to act quickly at the same time.
After all, Kurosawa Hikaru had a solid foundation, and he sat back on the sofa in a flash.
Seeing how fast he was, Igarashi Runa also sped up in a hurry.
As a result, she sat down and sat on Kurosawa Hikaru's left leg.
But her butt slid along and she sat down right next to him as before.
Finally sitting down, Igarashi Runa looked up and saw that the door had been opened at some point.
Chizuru stood at the door, holding her phone in one hand and looking at herself with her arms folded.
"I didn't do anything with him... I just went to get a glass of water and sat down by accident."
In order to avoid misunderstanding, Igarashi Runa quickly clarified.
"Don't run so fast next time when you eavesdrop. It would be bad if you fall."
Ninomiya Chizuru knew her best friend's personality too well, so she naturally knew that it was an accident, and said helplessly.
"Did Auntie just call to talk about you?"
The eavesdropping was exposed, and Igarashi Runa smiled guiltily and asked the question even though she knew the answer.
"I thought it would be my teacher who called me first to question me, but I didn't expect my mom to be woken up by a phone call. I don't know who saw me in the music video and called my mom to ask if it was me."
Ninomiya Chizuru clenched her cell phone and walked over speechlessly and irritably.
Her parents are very busy at work, and unless they are on business trips or during special periods, they go to bed early and get up early.
At times like 1 a.m., people are basically in a deep sleep.
"Feel sorry."
Sitting back in her original seat, Ninomiya Chizuru noticed that Kurosawa Mitsuru beside her was silent. She realized her tone and complaints just now, and then she reacted.
A mature, smart and calm person will not complain about trivial matters.
"Don't apologize, I just don't know what to say to comfort you, and I don't know how to help you."
Kurosawa Hikaru shook his head, held her hand and spoke softly.
It is difficult for a judge to judge family affairs, and he really doesn't know how to comment on other people's family affairs.
"Did Auntie scold you for no reason again?"
Igarashi Runa, who was more experienced, asked.
Frustration needs to be vented. If you keep it in your heart, it will make you more irritated.
"She asked me if I was crazy to shoot a music video... She also said I was crazy to open an artist agency."
"Oh, she's always like that."
Realizing that her aunt had said something unpleasant again, Igarashi Runa sighed and didn't know how to comfort her.
She also had a bad relationship with her parents and was unable to come up with any good ideas.
The bad relationship between children and parents is mostly due to the communication gap.
Parents always like to act arrogantly and command their children from a superior position, and never reason with their children. Even if they do something wrong or say something wrong, they will never admit their mistakes out of dignity and face.
"Sister Qianhe, has your mother introduced you to any men?"
Seeing that the situation was not right, Kurosawa Mitsuru changed the subject.
"You've seen them, haven't you? They were the three people who chased me after I got off work. They all chased me at my mom's behest."
Ninomiya Chizuru nodded slightly and explained.
"I thought they just simply liked you and came after you."
Kurosawa Hikaru was a little surprised. He thought that Chizuru had just gone to a new unit and was simply being welcomed.
"No one dares to chase me."
Ninomiya Chizuru glanced at him and raised her chin a little arrogantly.
"Hahaha, that's right."
Seeing her pride, Kurosawa Hikaru was immediately happy.
Beautiful women are always popular, but super beautiful women are a different story.
Men are very self-aware. Perhaps all men like beautiful women, but when they see a beautiful woman on the street, even if they are extremely attracted to her, they will first consider her appearance and abilities.
"Chizuru is only in such a good mood when she's with you. She's never bothered to respond when others approach her." Seeing this, Igarashi Runa interrupted.
Maybe Chizuru's personality is cold on the outside but warm on the inside. Once you get familiar with her, you can have a lot of fun playing with her because she is very smart and knows how to take care of other people's feelings. But this is her performance in private. In front of outsiders, she always gives people the feeling of being an iceberg beauty who should be kept away from strangers.
"I know."
Kurosawa Hikaru nodded slightly.
Although he was focused on studying at school, it didn't mean that he didn't understand Ninomiya Chizuru.
However, before the dating mission was triggered, he only dared to watch Ninomiya Chizuru from afar and did not dare to approach her.
Whether it is due to the gap in the relationship between teacher and student, or the feeling she gives people, it is enough to make people stop in their tracks.
"I decided to help you pursue Chizuru because I felt that she was very friendly towards you and was willing to go on a date with you. It was obvious that she was interested in you."
Speaking of special treatment, Igarashi Runa added.
"I was because he said he bought tickets for the amusement park and it would be a waste if he didn't use them."
When Ninomiya Chizuru heard this, she could no longer sit still.
"Didn't I say that if you don't go to the amusement park with me, I'll find someone else to go?"
Seeing her reaction that she didn't dare to admit, Kurosawa Hikaru said slowly.
"How dare you bring this up? You obviously didn't even buy a ticket, but you bought one right in front of me, making me a laughing stock in front of Runa."
Speaking of this, Ninomiya Chizuru got angry and grabbed his hand with her backhand.
This guy had been lying to her from the beginning, and he had lied to her so many times that she couldn't count.
She was very smart and not easily fooled, but because she trusted this bad guy, she was deceived all the time.
"I wanted to date you at first."
Having successfully diverted her attention, Kurosawa Hikaru smiled.
Maybe it was true that I lied to her, but it was also true that I won her over. Lovers eventually get together, and that's all that matters as long as the result is good.
“It’s time to make the official announcement.”
At this moment, Igarashi Runa received a message, raised her head and spoke.
After saying that, she bent down, moved the laptop in front of her, and started operating the mouse.
The official announcement text has been prepared in advance, and it can be released by just copying and pasting.
