"What a coincidence, Editor Machida! I was hoping to ask you to come over."
"It's not a coincidence." Machida Yuanzi took the coffee. "Just now, Teacher Kasumi Shiko noticed Mr. Xiao coming and asked me to come out. She said she had prepared afternoon tea for her."
Bai Ye raised his eyebrows. He didn't inform Shiyu in advance, so it seemed that he was already being taken advantage of.
"This Shiyu... isn't she being stubborn? If she were at home constantly smiling and busying herself, she would have thrown in a fit of tantrum long ago, and she's the kind that's hard to coax."
"That's Shiyu, who belongs only to Mr. Xiao. In my opinion, Teacher Xia Shizi is serious and rational. She never complains about the work she promises and always completes it to perfection. Okay, I have to go back. I can't be away for too long."
"Then I'm sorry to trouble you."
Bai Ye watched Machida Sonoko hand the coffee to Shiyu. The latter took a long sip, and the stiff corners of her mouth relaxed a lot. Then she apologized to her fans and got up to leave.
Just when he was wondering where Shiyu had gone, a message from her came to his phone.
[You haven't forgotten me. Xiaobai-kun, are you a gentleman with a conscience, or a scumbag who's still thinking about other girls while on a date?]
As soon as she came, she started complaining about herself. Shiyu really took out all her temper on herself.
Where have you been?
[It's obvious, I just drank coffee and went to the bathroom~]
[How could you possibly be in such a hurry to pee? Are you looking for an excuse to slack off? When fans ask about it later, just say your boyfriend forced you into the bathroom to do something naughty, right?]
[Xiaobai-kun is really smart... Oh no! This is real Hentai! Can't help but expose your Hentai behavior to the public, and get a thrill from it?]
white night"……"
No matter how you look at it, this Shiyu is more hentai.
Bai Ye received a reward for letting Shiyu vent her accumulated mental fatigue.
[I'm going back. Since you still have some conscience and bring me coffee, Xiaobai-kun, I'll give you a piece of advice.]
[I would like to hear more details.]
[When we go to the show later, just be a spectator with your classmates who went to sea. Don't go looking for everyone else. As for the reason, don't ask. If you ask, it's just a dream.]
Since the word "advice" was used, Bai Ye, as the one who was seeing things in the fog, had no intention of causing trouble.
[Okay, then I'll see what kind of show you guys put on.]
[Hehe—right! Send me a video invitation when the show starts.]
[what?]
[As one of the directors, I can't be there. Does that mean I can't even watch the video? Don't worry, my phone is hidden behind a book, and I'm wearing a Bluetooth headset so no one can see it.]
. . . . . .
Bai Ye and Namijima went out to the sea and arrived at the summer festival venue.
Although the weather was hot and humid, people's mood for enjoying the summer festival was not affected at all. Looking around, there were huge crowds of people, and their idea of finding a seat close to the stage was dashed.
"It's a bit crowded... Izumi-kun, let's just watch from here."
"Okay senior."
Hashima Chukai was also very satisfied with this place which was neither too far nor too close. Firstly, he could see the stage clearly, and secondly, he didn't have to worry too much about being discovered by his brother and senior Aki.
She was very concerned about what was going to happen and wanted to be mentally prepared, so she asked Bai Ye:
"Were you and Kasumigaoka-senpai just talking about what's going to happen next?"
"I can't hide it from Chu Hai-san."
"Is it something you can tell me?"
Bai Ye laughed silently, not expecting the other party to use such a statement, while at the same time admiring the other party's intelligence.
It's something you can tell me.
If the answer is that he cannot tell, it means that he has concealed something from Hamajima Chuhai, and he was exchanging messages with Shiyu in front of her, which was an extremely disrespectful act to Hamajima Chuhai.
Once the evidence is in hand, it is hard to say what Bodao Chuhai will do with it.
"With a big event coming up, everyone's minds are spinning."
Bo Dao Chu Hai knew that her little thoughts were useless in Bai Ye's eyes, and might even make Bai Ye dislike her, but she still used this trick.
"Senior Bai Ye once told me that after careful consideration, don't hesitate and just follow your own ideas, so I want to know more."
"Have you learned to respond to me using my words?"
Bai Ye smiled. The other party's words completely blocked all his escape routes.
"Actually, there's nothing to be ashamed of. Shiyu just wanted me to be a spectator with you, not to go looking for Xiaohui and the others, and not to care about what they do."
Being a spectator with the senior?
Hamajima Izumi didn't want to do this from the bottom of her heart. Even though the seniors might be right, she couldn't accept her own indifference.
But her abilities were limited, and she knew she needed support.
"Senior, what about you?"
"Me?" Bai Ye pointed at himself. "Just be a spectator, just like watching a movie."
"Oh..." Bodao Chuhai lowered his eyebrows, his disappointment evident in his words.
If Bai Ye didn't support her, she wouldn't be able to do it on her own.
Bai Ye smiled, and that smile was because he understood the other person's thoughts.
"Disappointment is written all over your face. Just listen to what I have to say~!"
As he spoke, Bai Ye moved Hajima Chukai from his side to the front and attached himself to his ear from behind.
"I'm just an audience, but I have the right to comment on a movie. Besides, this isn't a pre-made, unedited drama, so a few comments from me are appropriate, right?"
Bodao Chuhai also laughed, and couldn't help but use his head to nudge Bai Ye's chin, and said coquettishly:
"Hehe~~Senior still has more ideas!"
Chapter 582 Is it a blessing or a curse?
The cheerful special music started playing, and Bodao Chukai took out the program and held it up so that Bai Ye could see it.
"Senior, the next show is Icy tail's."
"Uh-huh."
Bai Ye took out a selfie stick from his bag. He originally brought it because he needed to take photos today, but he didn't expect that he would use it to live broadcast to Shiyu.
"Luckily I brought a selfie stick, otherwise my hands would be crippled..."
He was just about to send a video invitation to Shiyu when he saw Hamada Ichuhai in front of him. An idea suddenly occurred to him. He quietly grabbed Hamada Ichuhai's slender wrist and lifted it up, making a scissors sign.
"Senior?" Hamadama Chukai came back to his senses.
"Have fun at the summer festival. If you keep pouting, all your luck will go away."
Bodao turned his head and put his left hand on his chest. He felt his uneasy mood eased a little, and forced a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"My heart is beating so fast, I'm so worried, it's hard to be happy..."
"But I'm very happy."
"Why?" Bodao Chukai knew that the other party was not the type to gloat over other people's misfortunes.
"Classmate Chu Hai said her heart was beating so fast..." Bai Ye took a step forward, his chest pressed against her back, "I thought it was because I was by her side that her heart was beating so fast~"
"Senior..." The girl's face gradually turned red, and she could clearly feel her own heartbeat.
Although she was reluctant to admit it, Bai Ye's action of leaning over to whisper in her ear did make her heart tremble, even overshadowing her uneasy mood.
"Want to take a picture, Senior?"
"Mmmmm, eggplant—!"
Click——
The shutter sounded, leaving behind a forced smile on Hasima Izumi's face.
. . . . . .
Leaving the photos as a memory, Bai Ye called Shiyu for a video invitation.
The video was connected, and Shiyu's profile appeared on the screen. Even the upward-angle lens known as the "death filter" could not conceal her charm.
"Hey, can you see or hear me?"
Shiyu signed another one. While handing the book over, she lifted her hair from her ear and smiled quietly at the camera of her phone hidden among the books. She put on her Bluetooth headset and took the opportunity to drink some water to speak:
"I can hear it. It looks like it's busy over there too."
"That's ok!"
Bai Ye adjusted the lens again to get a good focus, and on the way, he saw the island of Bo in front of him going out to sea.
"Hmm~ With a soft jade in my arms, Xiaobai-kun is very happy~~"
white night"……"
Fortunately, I was also wearing Bluetooth headphones, otherwise what would happen if my classmates who were out at sea heard it?
"Didn't you ask me to go with Izumi-san?"
"But did I ask you to hug each other? Humph - Sima Zhao's intention is obvious."
"There are too many people. There's nothing we can do."
Bai Ye did not retreat because of this. Instead, his free left hand was half-placed on Bo Dao Chu Hai's waist.
Anyway, everyone in the club knows the idea of bringing Tomigumi into the harem, so there is no need to hide it.
Of course, you can do it quietly, but if you do it openly, you will just have to wait for Shiyu to chatter in your ears about your evil intentions.
Bodao turned his head to the side of the sea without saying anything and without pushing Bai Ye's hand away.
Bai Ye took off the headset temporarily.
"I wanted to piss off Shiyu for letting them hide so many things from us."
When Bodao Chuhai knew that they were on video call, he quietly hugged Bai Ye's hand and pressed it on his waist, and was half-hugged like that.
She was also a little dissatisfied with the fact that her senior classmates had concealed her anger, but since Senior Bai Ye was the shield for them to vent their anger, she naturally didn't care.
"Senior, Icy tail is on the court."
"oh oh!"
Bai Ye put on the Bluetooth headset, and Shi Yu didn't say anything else. She continued with the book signing while glancing at him occasionally.
On the stage, Michiru Hyodo led her team members out, and the audience cheered as soon as they appeared.
"Good afternoon everyone—we are Icy tail—!"
After introducing herself, Icy Tail posed, which caused another round of cheers. After all, no one would hate a young beauty appearing on stage.
"It looks very popular!" praised Bo Dao Chukai.
Bai Ye nodded in agreement. He was well aware of Icy Tail's strength, but he didn't know Icy Tail's reputation among the public. The discussion among others was a good opportunity to find out.
"Hey, I think I've seen this band called Icy Tail before. Was it at the anniversary party at Tanaka Shopping Street last time?"
"You remember correctly, they appear quite frequently, but they're not big stars. They can't just go to a festival of this scale."
"Hey—I seem to have heard that they have a big boss behind them. Do you think they will be…"
"Who knows, but it's certain that she has someone behind her. Such a beautiful girl, what a shame~"
The big boss behind the scenes?
Bai Ye looked down at himself, feeling a little uncomfortable being called the big boss behind the scenes.
However, he was even more curious about the rumors surrounding Icy Tail… Oh no! It wasn't entirely a rumor. He was indeed Icy Tail's agent and investor, so where did the rumors about Icy Tail come from?
Seeing Bai Ye still looking around, Bodao Chuhai nudged him with his bun.
"Senior, the show has begun."
"I've seen it, Chu Hai classmate, you can watch it. I'll get some information and find out where Xiao Hui and Aki classmate are."
"what news?"
"Regarding Icy Tail's reputation."
