"After I went to Beijing, I felt like I had followed my brother's footsteps," Hashimoto continued. "Now I realized how hard it was for my brother to study and work part-time to support himself. Izakaya, fast food restaurants, shopping guides, Chiyoda where I took you to go last year

Wenshengtang Secondhand Bookstore, do you still remember it?"

Wu Geng nodded.

"I also worked there for a period of time, mainly sorting and sorting books. The first year after arriving in Tokyo was the most difficult. The tuition fee alone was nearly two million, studying, working, and then scrambling for time to rest. It was a particularly tight time.

I couldn't even afford instant noodles. When there was no one in the dormitory, I buried my head in the quilt and wanted to cry but couldn't. Even at that time, I never thought about accepting help from others. You can say it was me.

I am stubborn, but at first I really wanted to survive in this city by myself. Fortunately, my mother supported me, and I have been able to survive until now."

"After joining Nogizaka, I have a lot more money. The remaining money is sent directly back to my hometown. My younger brother will also use the money to go to college in the future. My mother may have let it slip and my younger brother found out, so he clamored to go to Beijing for the same reason.

I was pretty much the same when I went to Beijing. I could only support myself. Well, maybe he was also worried about me, in his own way... My brother, my brother, and I, our family really didn’t learn the lesson."

After saying this, Hashimoto remained silent. Unknowingly, she had walked a considerable distance away from the fifth watch. She stopped at the street intersection. Even before the New Year, the pedestrians wandering the streets of Tokyo were still missing.

few.

"Just come here," she said. "The platform is right in front of us, and the next tram won't be long."

"Nanamin."

"Um?"

"These...are definitely not lessons." Wu Geng said.

"..."

A taxi happened to be passing by in the distance. Hashimoto's figure was instantly submerged in the sea projected by the car lights. He squinted his eyes and the dazzling light flashed by.

Hashimoto looked at her quietly.

"Nanamin and your brother, now that you have made a choice, don't simply summarize it by mistakes. Of course, those who can learn lessons can learn more, but I think those who make mistakes again and again without repentance are also worthy.

That's admiration. Besides, Nanamin, you didn't do anything wrong, you just did what you wanted to do."

"I'm not as good as you think..."

Hashimoto smiled and raised her hand to tuck the hair behind her ears. She crossed her arms and looked coldly towards the platform.

"I joined Nogizaka because I was browsing work-related information on the Internet at the time. I happened to see an advertisement label for Nogizaka46's recruitment. It said 'Akb48's official rival group member recruitment' or something like that. In fact, I don't even know akb.

A lot. I thought that the income in the entertainment industry should be quite high, and the first review only requires an email with a photo, which is not troublesome, so I sent it with a photo. Unexpectedly, the notice for the second review came soon.

I actually didn’t pay much attention to it at the time, I thought it was just a matter of luck and I passed it the second time, so I paid attention to the news in this regard.”

"Isn't it nice to have this... Everyone joins Nogizaka for various reasons."

"But there are very few people like me who don't have 'dreams'." Hashimoto noticed that the mountains behind them were getting closer, so he smiled at Wu Geng and said, "Let's walk a little further."

The fifth watch followed in silence.

"In the first year after joining Nogizaka, because of the permanent selection, even if the group was not well-known, they could still get a lot of jobs, and the economy gradually became more comfortable. I went to a beauty shop several times a month regularly to buy various cosmetics and skin care products, which I didn't have before.

I don’t have enough time to think about these, so I just paid a little attention to hair care when I was a hair model. Then in the second year——"

Hashimoto and Goteng crossed the road, and the green light just turned red. Nishino waved vigorously from the other end. The two stopped and waited for them.

"This year, starting from the four singles at the end of 2012, Nogizaka's fame has gradually grown, and various jobs have increased. She has appeared in magazines, participated in movies, TV series, Budokan performances, and national tours. Things that I could not even think of before.

Things came true one by one. Many fans came from all over the country just to shake hands for a few seconds and say a few words... Shixiao-chan, don't you find it incredible?"

"I...maybe I'm used to it." Wugeng didn't tell the truth.

In just two years, because of joining Nogizaka, the trajectory of life suddenly changed and was simply divided into two sides: before joining and after joining. Anyone would find it strange. In the fifth night, I sometimes think, if I had not participated in the selection at that time,

Where will she be doing now? Studying in her room to entertain herself? She has good grades. Maybe she will be admitted to a university in Tokyo in a few years, stay after graduation, find a job that she is interested in, and her life will be simple.

This goes on.

There is nothing wrong with this, but it would be a little regretful that she did not get to know such an interesting companion during the most precious time. No, at that time she did not know the possibilities of her life as an idol.

"The national tour that started in August, I stood on stages in various places, and the louder the cheers from the audience became, the more I started to think wildly. Is this really okay? Idol is a profession that gives everyone dreams, but I don't have it.

Is it really okay for someone whose 'dream' is hindered by reality to do such a thing? There are probably many people who are more qualified than me."

Wu Geng shook his head, "Nanamin, idols don't give people dreams, but people gain dreams from idols. Just the existence of 'Hashimoto Nanami', many people get strength from it."

"……Maybe."

At this time, Takayama and the others came over as the red light turned green. Hashimoto did not continue the topic.

Little Asuka probably woke up on the way, so she patted Takayama on the shoulder and wanted to get down and walk on her own. As soon as her feet touched the ground, she immediately wrapped herself around Hashimoto. However, she arrived at the station within two steps, so she had to reluctantly wave to Hashimoto outside the car window.

Hashimoto's Farewell.

"Did you talk about anything?"

"Um?"

"Omi said that Xiaoxiao and Hashimoto-san might be talking about something, with a serious look on her face, and asked me not to disturb them," Nishino said, "so we deliberately slowed down and followed."

Gao Shan is indeed very good at reading the atmosphere and has accurate vision. Not only does he get along well with Wu Geng and the others, but he also gets along well with other members. However, because of his good personality, he is often pulled out to help.

"It's nothing, I talked about some personal things," Wu Geng noticed that Nishino was staring at him and was shocked, "Just in case I ask too much, Na-chan, are you not jealous?"

"Huh? Why?" Then he reacted, smiled and rubbed Wu Geng with his shoulder, "How much trouble do I have in your mind, Xiaoxiao."

"That's good, that's good."

Wugeng was relieved here, but Xiye laughed at her, "Xiaoxiao is so weird."
