Chapter 28 See You Again
As the New Year is approaching and many students are still participating in the New Year festival, the campus of Meiji University seems a bit empty.
In the quiet little park, apart from the dim lights on the roadside, the only sounds were the footsteps of Shirakawa Kaede and Tanaka Yuko.
As the weather turns cooler, the flowers, birds, and insects quietly hide away and no longer appear.
"Tanaka's junior"
"Shirakawa-kun"
The two people who spoke at the same time stopped at the same time. "Hehe~" They chuckled and fell into a brief silence again.
"Senior, please speak first," Baichuan Feng indicated that ladies should be given priority.
"Okay," Tanaka Yuko nodded, and then looked at him curiously, "I was really surprised to see Shirakawa-kun's performance tonight. Is Shirakawa-kun really from the Department of Business Administration?"
"Haha, it's genuine," Baichuan Feng replied with a smile, "Hearing the surprised tone of senior sister, I took it as a compliment to myself."
Tanaka Yuko curled her lips, her white teeth making her smile even brighter. " Of course it's no problem. People who don't know might think Shirakawa-kun is a professional singer."
She had attended more than one concert by professional singers, but she was still amazed by Shirakawa Kaede's performance just now.
Whether it's the voice, the performance, the atmosphere and the empathy of the audience, in Tanaka Yuko's opinion, he is much better than some idol singers.
"Thank you, thank you." Shirakawa Feng smiled and waved his hands. He felt a little embarrassed by Tanaka Yuko's serious praise.
"It was my first time to perform on stage. I had no experience and was worried and scared. So when I was on stage, I just ignored the audience and pretended they didn't exist. Then I didn't feel nervous and even felt more relaxed the more I sang."
This is Baichuan Feng's true feeling. As long as he doesn't focus on the face of a particular audience member, he feels much more relaxed.
I don't know if this can be considered self-hypnosis.
"Hey, this is also possible?" Tanaka Yuko raised her eyebrows, as if she had discovered something new. "If I have to face so many people on stage in the future, maybe this is also possible."
"Senior Tanaka, you are an actor, how can you be afraid of facing the audience?" Shirakawa Feng couldn't help but teasing her.
Tanaka Yuko rolled her eyes and glared at him, saying, "Can't an actor be afraid of the audience? Besides, I've never acted in a play before."
Seeing her cute look, Baichuan Feng couldn't help but laugh.
This was the first time he had come into such close contact with her. The previous two times were accidental encounters and they came and went in a hurry.
Only today, when I relaxed, did I have the opportunity to observe her carefully. To Shirakawa Kaede, the shape of Tanaka Yuko's face gave her a feeling of childish beauty.
It is what we often call a baby face, but her chin is just the right length, and her facial lines are soft, making her face look small and round.
Of course, what impressed me most was her eyebrows and eyes. Although she had single eyelids, her eyelids were not small at all.
Especially those eyes that can speak, with every frown and smile, they can be charming, beautiful, or cute.
These charms were hidden beneath her eyebrows, making Baichuan Feng feel a little itchy.
Beauty lies in skin, bones and charm.
"What are you laughing at, Shirakawa-kun?" Tanaka Yuko didn't know what he was grinning at.
"Yeah," Baichuan Feng smiled and shook his head, "I just feel really good."
"Eh?" Tanaka Yuko was even more confused. She rolled her eyes and said tentatively, "Arigato, Tokyo?"
"Haha" Baichuan Feng laughed loudly, and his unbridled laughter slowly echoed in the night on the campus.
Seeing Shirakawa Kaede laughing so hard, Tanaka Yuko muttered "How annoying", and then she started laughing herself.
I don't know whether I was laughing because Shirakawa Kaede was laughing, or because I thought of the phrase "Tokyo, you bastard!"
"By the way, Senior Tanaka, how is your dream of becoming an actor going? Have you started filming yet?"
"No, it's not that easy."
"Is that so? Then Tanaka-senpai, you need to work harder."
"Hai~ Hai~, Shirakawa-kun, please do your best too."
"Hmm? I'm done with my performance."
"I want to hear more of Shirakawa-kun's works and more of his singing."
"Ah~? But I'm a student in the business department."
"What does it matter? Isn't Shirakawa-kun participating in the concert today?"
"But today is new..."
"Besides, didn't Yamashita Tatsuro-san from the law department become a singer?"
"This... I'll try my best."
“Come on~”
The two figures walking side by side gradually went away in the cold night. The occasional laughter made the cold and lonely night more warm.
Young men and women hold each other's dreams in their hearts, looking forward to them bearing fruit in the coming year.
…
"Kotaro, it's ok. I've already sent back all the things I need to bring. If you stuff me with more, I won't be able to carry it."
"Don't worry, leave all of this to me, Xiaofeng, you just take a rest." Kotaro waved his hand and continued to work.
Alas, Shirakawa Kaede sat cross-legged on the tatami with his chin supported by one hand, watching Kotaro busying around helplessly.
As the New Year is approaching, Shirakawa Kaede has already had his holiday, so the most important thing now is of course to go home and celebrate the New Year.
As the saying goes, whether you have money or not, you should go home to celebrate the New Year. The Japanese people also attach great importance to the New Year on January 1st, especially the rural residents, who have not lost many traditions.
Kotaro had been working part-time for nearly a year and had been looking forward to returning home soon. Not to mention that he had made a lot of money this year following Shirakawa Kaede.
Gorgeous kimonos, fashionable bags, and all kinds of novel gadgets he had never seen before, he wanted to buy everything he saw and bring it back home.
"It's a pity that this bread maker ca n't be put down anymore ," Kotaro looked at the brand new machine on the table reluctantly.
Baichuan rolled his eyes. A bread machine? Are you sure you can use it in your hometown?
We live in Akita, and there is only rice in Akita, so there is no use for a bread machine.
"Okay, that's almost it." Baichuan Feng stood up and packed his luggage. He only had a backpack.
All other things have been sent in advance. As a promising young person in the 21st century, of course I have to make flexible use of the express delivery industry, although long-distance delivery is more expensive and slower nowadays.
But in order to be lazy, he didn't care about the drizzle.
"Hurry up, or you'll miss your flight."
Today is the 30th, and in two days it will be New Year. If I take the train back to Akita, I may not be able to get home by New Year.
So Baichuan Feng, who had a child in his pocket, waved his hand and chose to take a plane directly.
It only takes one hour to get from Tokyo to Akita, which is so convenient.
They arrived at Haneda Airport in the afternoon and boarded the plane smoothly. It was Kotaro's first time on a plane, and he felt nervous and excited after fastening his seat belt.
Being nervous is because of fear. That’s right, this fearless kid is actually afraid of flying.
According to him, it was his first time riding and he always felt uneasy. What if he fell off halfway?
In response to this, Baichuan Feng directly replied, "You're a crow's mouth."
It turned out that Kotaro's worries were completely unnecessary, and they landed safely at Akita Airport at two o'clock in the afternoon.
After getting off the plane, the two took a train immediately to Odeka Village, northeast of Akita.
Finally, when the sun was about to set behind the mountains, the two men, exhausted and carrying their luggage, stood at the entrance of Xiaolu Village.
