Chapter 15 Encounter
"It turns out to be Senior Tanaka." Shirakawa Feng recalled the scene when the two of them first met.
Hearing Shirakawa Kaede's greeting, Tanaka Yuko couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Shirakawa-kun is very stingy." Her crescent-shaped eyes were full of smiles.
"Ha" Baichuan Feng was infected by her smile and curled his eyebrows. He didn't expect that the eyes of a girl with single eyelids could be so charming, as if they could speak.
"Then just call me Senior Tanaka from now on." Shirakawa Kaede stopped and waited for her to catch up. The two of them maintained a polite social distance and walked side by side along the cherry trees.
Yuko Tanaka put her hands behind her back, and as she walked forward, her slender white fingers flickered behind her. She nodded hesitantly, "That's fine."
Shirakawa Feng smiled and said, "It's settled then." As a student, Tanaka Yuko is no different from an ordinary girl, somewhat cute and a little naive.
The girl standing next to Baichuan Feng at this moment had long hair, a beige top, a light-colored long skirt, and a white bag on her shoulder, dressed like an ordinary young woman.
"By the way, senior, does the drama department also have classes here in Izumi?" If Shirakawa Kaede remembered correctly, most of the third and fourth year students were at the Surugadai campus.
Tanaka Yuko shook her head and said, "I came to Izumi today to participate in the troupe's activities. Many seniors will be in attendance."
After listening to Tanaka Yuko's explanation, Shirakawa Feng finally understood that as a student of the drama department who was about to graduate, there were almost no theoretical classes left.
Everyone is busy running around between major TV stations and theaters, looking for any opportunity to participate. Extras and background boards are not a big deal, as long as they can appear on the stage.
Many actors feel that they simply lack opportunities. Regardless of whether this statement is right or wrong, at least without opportunities, they will never succeed.
As one of the future actors, Yuko Tanaka is no exception. This year, she joined the Bungakuza, one of the three major theater groups in RB, under the introduction of her senior.
While learning acting techniques and honing my acting skills , I also wanted to see if I could use the resources of the troupe to get performance opportunities.
All things are difficult at the beginning. This is true for Shirakawa Kaede now and for Tanaka Yuko at this moment.
Baichuan Feng didn't know much about acting, and couldn't help much. He could only offer his blessing, "I wish you success in the future and become a household name."
Tanaka Yuko narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Thanks to Mr. Shirakawa for your words."
"By the way, Shirakawa-kun still has classes in the afternoon?"
"Not really, but the guitar club has a welcome party for new members."
"Shirakawa-kun can play guitar?"
"Haha, I don't even know the music score. If I were to go up and play, I'd probably be kicked off the stage by the president right away."
Then Shirakawa Kaede told Tanaka Yuko about his funny experience, and the latter also laughed non-stop.
A few strands of hair covered her sparkling eyes, and she tucked them behind her ears, "Then Shirakawa-kun will join. I hope to hear Shirakawa-kun's performance in the future."
"The same goes for Senior Tanaka." Shirakawa Kaede raised his fist and made a cheering gesture.
The two smiled at each other and said goodbye.
Hoping that there is still a long time to come, Baichuan Feng waved at her as she was gradually going away, and the figure opposite looked back and smiled.
There were no mobile phones or big brother phones in those days, and he couldn't even afford a pager, so they just left each other their addresses.
But even so, Shirakawa Kaede couldn't guarantee that he would be able to contact the other party. Changing residences in Tokyo was very normal.
Maybe one day you send a postcard on a whim, but you never receive a reply.
In the past, things were slow, including transportation, horses, and mail.
…
After saying goodbye to senior classmate Tanaka whom he met by chance, Shirakawa Kaede walked leisurely towards the place where the club had agreed to meet.
When he got there, he happened to meet classmate Kobayashi who was rushing over. So, I don't know if it was out of revenge, Shirakawa Kaede was pulled up by her to introduce herself, and at the end she didn't forget to tease Shirakawa Kaede about being music-blind.
Several other female members in the club were very curious about this junior and asked him all kinds of questions.
“I heard that the winter in Akita is very cold. Is that true?”
“Aren’t Akita dogs small and cute?”
"It seems that Akita is not only rich in beautiful women, but also handsome men."
The curious seniors kept chattering, and the president was having a headache about how to arrange for Shirakawa Feng, so he wanted to find an assistant to teach him the basics of music scores.
Before the other seniors raised their hands, Xiaolin took on the task without hesitation. The seniors were still naive and could not be fooled by Shirakawa Kaede's harmless appearance .
That’s right, Kobayashi decided to take the poison out of consideration for the safety of his senior classmates.
So while others were showing off their skills, in the corner of the activity room, Shirakawa Kaede was clumsily playing the guitar under the guidance of Kobayashi.
Occasionally, if he played a wrong note, he would be mocked by classmate Xiaolin. This was naked revenge, Baichuan Feng thought with some grief and indignation.
I shouldn't have joined the guitar club in the first place. Wouldn't it be nice to just pick up junk comfortably?
…
"Dad Matsumoto, this time I brought you authentic Akita sake, Shinsei Sake Brewery, please try it."
This time, Shirakawa Kaede came with sake and cigarettes, and even took away some Wagyu sushi.
Father Matsumoto muttered to himself, judging from the situation, is there going to be a big move today?
Matsumoto's guess was correct, there really was a big move. This time the three men did not come empty-handed, Kashiwagi drove the company's pickup truck directly over.
When he heard that Baichuan Feng had repaired the TV that he had pulled last time and even exchanged it for some pocket money, his mind immediately became active.
Baimu assured everyone that there was no need to worry about the transportation capacity, as the freight company had many trucks.
As for the issue of using the public bus for private purposes...
My colleagues can all drive pickup trucks to go on dates, so what’s the big deal about me, who drives a pickup truck to transport some goods?
So today the three of them upgraded their guns to a cannon. Although this cannon is rusty, it can still pull several hundred kilograms with ease.
Matsumoto could probably guess that the reason they wanted these junk was far from being just for their own use.
But it didn't matter to him, these things were just rubbish to him, and they couldn't be turned into money. He looked at the sake and sushi in his hand and swallowed his saliva. The last time he had such high-end food was several years ago.
As for Baichuan Feng and the others who are busy in the garbage dump, just leave them alone.
"Koutarou gives priority to appliances that are in good condition. I've already told you which appliances are valuable. Don't just keep looking at the big ones."
The ones who were mainly picking up junk were Shirakawa Kaede and Kotaro, while Kashiwagi was in charge of loading the things they picked onto the pickup truck.
Shirakawa Feng thought that when this route became smooth, he could let Kotaro pick up the garbage. After transporting the selected appliances back, he would be responsible for repairing and restoring them. This would save a lot of time, and Kashiwagi could just help out in his spare time. Of course, Shirakawa Feng would not let him work for nothing.
He even thought that if there was not enough space, he could rent a room nearby. This would save distance and there would be a dedicated place to store the appliances, so it wouldn't be a big deal to keep the place so messy.
Of course, the premise is that we have a rich harvest this time and everything goes well at the second-hand store.
