"I confessed my love to Xiaoxiao during the filming in Macau last year."

Nishino's words swept through the entire living room like a tornado, leaving a mess in everyone's hearts.

Even Wu Geng had a similar reaction to the people present, although the reason for the shock was different.

It was really unimaginable to her that Nishino would openly reveal their deep-hidden secrets on such an occasion and in such a non-ceremonial way.

Wu Geng thought that Nishino just wanted to talk about Xiao Feiniao, but he never thought that she would reveal the source directly.

Ikuta was so surprised that her mouth opened a little bit, as if in slow motion, making people wonder if she was trying to challenge the hell-hard trick in the cartoon where her jaw dropped to the ground.

"Confession..." Shiraishi couldn't believe it, "Is it that confession? That love is..."

"The impure love between men and women." Nishino said these words calmly, which made Shiraishi blush.

"Xiaoxiao also agreed at that time." Nishino continued, "So to be precise, Xiaoxiao and I started dating in private in April last year."

It was hard for Wu Geng to explain what kind of mentality he had after listening to her words.

In this living room of more than 20 square meters, everyone's hearts were shaken. There was silence for nearly half a minute, and no one spoke. It was a kind of solemn mourning silence, casting a layer of gloom over the entire space.

.

Fukawa was the first to come back to her senses. Although she was shocked, she felt relieved in her heart. She seemed to feel the reassurance that there was someone ahead of her. Soon, she felt ridiculous for her immature idea.

"Na-chan, you guys..."

Hashimoto looked at Nishino with a complex look. She tried her best not to look too serious, so she lowered her head first, then raised her head again and put on a smile, although the smile was full of far-fetched words.

"..." She wanted to say something, but the words were stuck in her throat, and she didn't know how to speak for a moment. Hashimoto seemed to have lost strength and gave up her efforts. She slowly squatted on the floor and rested her hands on her forehead.

Bian, just shook his head slightly in distress.

It's not like this, it shouldn't be like this, she thought.

"Nanamin." Xiao Asuka wanted to squat down and help her, but Hashimoto waved his hand to indicate that he didn't need to.

She stood up again and put her right hand on her forehead, as if measuring the temperature. She felt that she might have a fever, and the fever was not serious.

"Shixiao-chan..." Hashimoto looked at Oh Geng, his look was more like a pleading look than asking for confirmation, begging Oh Geng to give him the completely opposite answer.

"..." Wu Geng gave a silent answer.

Hashimoto knew that Gogeng and Nishino had a special relationship, but that was only compared to other members. As for who likes whom, as long as this kind of thing is still confined in an ignorant circle, who can say it is not true. Even if it is a woman

Children, holding hands and hugging each other, will feel their hearts flutter. This is not a big deal.

As long as we stay within the circle of friendship, everything will be fine.

But Wu Geng and Nishino crossed that line.

"Do you know what this means?" Hashimoto said quietly but forcefully, "Apart from anything else, first of all, we are idols and cannot fall in love."

Nishino expected that Hashimoto would be angry, but she didn't expect that she would be entangled in this point. She thought that Hashimoto would reprimand her and them from a more sinister angle. This was the reason why Nishino chose to tell the truth at this time.

"It seems that this clause is not written in the contract..." Ikuta muttered softly.

“It’s not a matter of writing or not!”

Hashimoto turned around and glared at Ikuta, who was so frightened that she shrank her head and hid behind Fukawa. I just said casually, it's not me who is in love in the group... She felt aggrieved.

"Even if there are no written terms and conditions, it is already a potential rule in the industry. You know this before applying for idols, right? If so, follow it seriously."

"It's just a word between members..." Wu Geng whispered. She had been using this to comfort herself.

"Xiao Shixiao, are you serious?"

"..."

"It's okay to talk between members, but did you take Shitara-san's joke seriously?" Hashimoto said angrily.

"You should understand in your heart that the prohibition on dating is not the reason for the object. As an idol, you should like every fan equally. Because the person you like is a member, it doesn't matter even if you violate the principle, so even if I deceive you and betray your trust, it doesn't matter.

It doesn’t matter. Can you say these words in front of me?”

"If this matter is at a small scale, you may be fired or forced to graduate. At a serious scale, can Nogizaka continue? How will the world view Nogizaka as a group? Have you really thought about this?

Problem?"

Of course Wu Geng had considered these issues. Because of this, after confirming the relationship, she did not dare to get along too proactively with Nishino. Every word of Hashimoto's words accurately poked at the place where she was most worried.

"Nanamin, forget it." Fukawa dissuaded, "Forget it."

"How can we forget it?" Hashimoto was still angry, "Maimai, do you understand what they are doing?"

Although it's a bit strange to say this, Wu Geng felt that Hashimoto seemed to be a bit sullen.

"It's okay to fall in love with others, but they don't have the awareness that it's wrong. I can understand if they just graduate and then confess to dating, but they choose to hide it. They have trampled on the trust of their fans. This is the most intolerable thing in this industry.

,Maimai.”

"There are still members. There is a commotion because of this matter. What will the other members do?"

Fukawa was frightened by Hashimoto's attitude. Her angry and slightly panicked attitude reminded Fukawa of everything that happened at the station at that time. Hashimoto was the same way, using anger to cover up his panic.

"Is that why you rejected me?"

Fukawa's words were like a bucket of cold water suddenly poured on her head, and Hashimoto finally calmed down.

"Maimai, that..."

"Because you don't want to betray fans' trust, don't want to break the rules of the idol industry, and don't want to cause damage to the Nogizaka team, is that why you rejected my offer? That confession."

Fukawa said these words calmly, looking at Hashimoto who seemed to be stunned by the question, lowering his eyes without looking at her. Fukawa felt a little happy instead. On this occasion and at this time, he let everything go.

She didn't look at other people's reactions, but kept her gaze firmly, firmly, as if embedded in Hashimoto's face, not wanting to let go of any subtle facial expressions of hers.

"I just want to know an answer, put aside all this."

Fukawa asked in a deep tone, not like a holy lady but more like a devil.
