The Waseda University campus at night is full of joyful atmosphere. Students are walking among colorful banners and various small vendors, making it as lively as if they were at a temple fair.
Under the soft light of the landscape lights, the cherry blossoms on campus have an extra layer of warmth, washing away the sad and beautiful connotations.
Under the dim light, people have to be very close to each other to recognize each other. Naoki Nagayama and Kaede Nagayama, a pair of relatively famous cousins, walked among the crowd, but no one recognized them, as if
Just like a pair of ordinary college students.
"This is how the university's Sakura Festival is~" Kaede Nagayama picked up the takoyaki with a long bamboo skewer and complained while eating, "It's similar to the temple fair at Kiyomizu Temple. I thought it would be a little more advanced."
"Higher?" Nagayama Naoki was also eating Taiyaki, "In most activities such as carnivals, temple fairs, and festivals, you can't escape eating, drinking, and having fun... There are only a few kinds of snacks, at most many
Some local specialties; mainly things to play with, which will change according to the theme~"
"So, the main thing is to see what today's theme performance is like, right?"
"Brother Kaede, aren't we just here to watch Tsuruko's performance?" Nagayama Naoki gestured to the big bag in his hand, "I've even prepared the support props..."
Seeing this, Yongshan Feng showed a look of disgust on his face, "Wait a minute, do we really have to do this? It feels too social!"
"Of course...this is a specially prepared gift for Tsuruko!"
Naoki Nagayama has a smile on his face~
.......
The activities of the Sakura Season include the stadium and the roads outside. As the organizer of the Cherry Blossom Festival, the student union officers of Waseda University are doing final inspections behind the stage in the center of the event.
"Is the host ready?"
"Hi!"
"Rehearsal of a theme play?"
"Ready!"
"Prizes for mini-game interaction?"
"no problem!"
"Students participating in the shamisen competition?"
"Everyone is here!"
"A folk performing group?"
Tsuruko and the team members, who had already changed into performance clothes, quickly replied: "Hey, we are ready!"
Seeing that she was about to perform on stage, Nagayama Tsuruko, whose face was painted like a geisha, was still a little nervous. What should I do if the performance is not good? What should I do if everyone in the audience is watching? What should I do if my voice breaks?
But... no one would be able to recognize me with such a thick layer of powder on my face!
"Tsuruko-chan, daddy!" Her best friend Junsui Ishii came to cheer her up, "Iwai-san, Kaneda-san, and I will cheer you on!"
"...You make me even more nervous when you say that!"
At this time, the students outside had slowly begun to gather at the central stage. Since they were about the same age, Nagayama Naoki and Nagayama Kaede were mixed in like a drop of water flowing into a lake~
It’s just that occasionally someone looks at Yongshan Feng and sighs, which member of the fitness club came over, and these muscles are really good~
Daiyo Iwai and Landi Kaneda were also among the crowd pushing towards the inside. They wanted to stand in the front row and watch their good friends perform today!
Yes, they are still good friends...Kanada Dalu has never had the courage to confess his love since he last learned about the background of Nagayama Tsuruko, the gangster lady~
The two of them obviously have a lot of feelings for each other, which makes it difficult for Iwai Dayo and Tsuruko's best friend Ishii Junsui to be together... Good friends want to be single together!
"Kaneda! You must seize the opportunity today! This is the last moment of the Sakura Festival!" Taiyo Iwai finally reached the front row, pulled Kanada Landi over, adjusted his glasses and said.
"Hey, I'm ready. Even if I'm the eldest lady of the Yamaguchi group, I have to express my feelings to Tsuruko!" Kaneda Dalu nodded solemnly, "I have already..."
"Hey, there's no need to tell me, I've told you so many times in the dormitory!"
Iwai Dayo and Kaneda Dauri are currently living in a shared house, and every night they hear Kaneda Dalu's thoughts.
"Speak everything you have been holding in your heart to Tsuruko tonight!"
"Hi! Just tonight! Be sure to tell Tsuruko!"
At this moment, a sentence suddenly interjected from the side: "What did Hezi say?"
"Huh? Of course..." Kaneda Dalu thought it was Iwai Dayo. Just as he was about to turn his head, he realized that Iwai Dayo was in another direction, "Iwai? Did you just speak?"
"No?" Dayo Iwai turned his head in confusion, and then his face suddenly began to change.
Kanada Dalu saw Iwai Dayo looking behind him, and he realized something instantly. Then his shoulders sank, and he found a strong hand pressing on his shoulders, and at the same time, a deep voice sounded:
"Tell me, what do you want to tell Tsuruko?"
Slowly turning around, Yong Shanfeng's strong figure appeared in front of him. His face, which was not originally vicious, looked quite oppressive on such a body.
"...Brother Feng..." Jintian Dalu was very impressed by this man.
"?" Yongshan Feng took a closer look before reacting, "Oh, it turns out it's you, Tsuruko's senior...what's your name...?"
"Kanada Continent..." Then someone whispered next to him, "Iwai Dayo..."
"Haha, yes, it's you two!" Yongshan Feng said with a smile, "You are also here to cheer for Tsuruko, right? Did you just want to say cheers to Tsuruko?"
"........Hi!"
The two people nodded repeatedly and trembled. No matter what they said, it didn't matter anymore. They just wanted to cheer!
On the other side, Nagayama Naoki wiped his face and couldn't even look at it. That guy must be confessing to him!
I have flowers in my hands!
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! At this time, Nagayama Kaede patted Nagayama Naoki on the shoulder: "This is Tsuruko's brother, Nagayama Naoki."
Authentic uncle! Jintian Dalu quickly bowed and said hello: "This is the first time we meet, I am Jintian Dalu..."
Nagayama Naoki could only nod: "This is the first time we meet, I am Nagayama Naoki..."
Seeing this handsome face, the two college students realized that this guy was Naoki Nagayama!
A living star!
Tsuruko mentioned it before!
Suddenly I felt excited~
...
The performance gradually began, more and more people gathered in the center of the event, and lights and fireworks were set off.
"Welcome to the Sakura Festival..." The host on the stage began to make an opening speech. It was nothing more than saying that the event was organized by so-and-so, sponsored by so-and-so, and thanked so-and-so. "Now, let us enjoy the theme drama.
,The cherry blossoms are falling~"
Japan's drama culture is very strong, and the Takarazuka Theater Company is very famous. Even many actors came from the theater group. The drama club of Waseda University is naturally very professional. The original love stories are really very similar when performed by students.
What's going on~
When the performance ended, there was naturally a burst of warm applause.
After the mini-games and interactions, it was the official shamisen competition. Representatives from several colleges took the stage to perform, and ultimately the audience voted~
However, most of the shamisen performances tend to be sad and mournful, which makes the lively atmosphere a lot quieter.
Finally it was time for the folk performance...
Tsuruko in the background took a deep breath and slowly walked onto the stage. In front of him was the dark crowd~
As the music played, the classic Japanese folk song "Sakura" was sung by Nagayama Tsuruko:
"さくら sakuraさくら sakura..."
The ethereal and eerie voice sounded from the stage, and goosebumps instantly appeared on Nagayama Naoki's neck... This ballad is poisonous, how could it be so scary!
Nagayama Naoki felt that he heard wrongly, otherwise why would he feel like a scary ghost was calling his soul in the middle of the night! It seemed that he would be taken on a shortcut to hell in the next moment!
Looking around in a blink of an eye, other college students seemed to be immersed in such a voice... It was as if I saw the cherry blossoms of heaven in the ethereal voice!
Sure enough, he is different from them!
Shaking his head and touching the skin on his arms to calm down the goosebumps, Naoki Nagayama took out the specially prepared gift from the bag he was carrying...
Hezi, you actually used the underworld ditty to scare me. You are unkind, so don’t blame me for being unjust!
He poked Brother Feng's arm and motioned for him to pick up a corner of the gift.
The corner of Yongshan Feng's mouth twitched, and he really wanted to refuse, but under the threat of his cousin's eyes, he reluctantly picked it up... But when he saw the two people next to him, his expression relaxed:
"You two...come here and help me~"
"Nani?"
"This is a support item. Come on, help hold this, and help us lift it up later!"
"Ah, hi!" The two guys didn't dare to refuse.
.......
When the song was finished, the audience burst into warm applause. Although it sounded very hellish, this ballad was still very popular in the island country. Tsuruko's voice was ethereal and melodious, and she performed it very well.
Nagayama Tsuruko bowed on the stage to thank him, and then waved happily, feeling that the hard rehearsals during this period had finally paid off!
It was such a dark crowd under the stage that most of the faces could not be seen clearly, but those in the first row were all acquaintances!
Kaneda Continent, Iwai Dayo, and next to him is Brother Kaede?! He's here too! And his brother, as expected, came to cheer!
Wait, what did they bring out?
Huh? Does it look like a banner? Why is it so big?
Why is it so colorful?
Autumn bean sack, why does that look like a photo?
That's...my picture?
"Bah!" Two fireworks were released, drawing people's attention.
The huge support item was opened, and on it were photos that Tsuruko Nagayama had taken before. She had helped take many photos with her camera. She was still in high school at that time, and she was very green in kimono~
Nagayama Naoki specially found a photo studio and developed Tsuruko's photos~
A super giant one was posted on the banner, and then stickers were placed around the photo~
"Tsuruko is the most beautiful!" and "Tsuruko sings the best!" written in highlighter next to it.
In the first row, fluorescent materials were used and fireworks were placed... As soon as this huge support object was raised, it attracted the attention of everyone in the audience in an instant!
"Oh ho ho~ That's great!" "Creative!" "That's the person performing! His name is Tsuruko!" "Awesome! In every sense of the word!"
The buzzing discussion in the audience suddenly became louder, accompanied by a lot of laughter.
Tsuruko on the stage felt a little mixed at this moment, a little surprised, a little angry, a little shy, and a little inexplicable...excited?!
It is indeed a good gift!
"Tsuruko-kun, those are your friends!" the host came to smooth things over with a smile, "What a rare kindness!"
"...Hehehe, yes~" Tsuruko tried to stay calm!
"How could they come up with such a method?!"
"Haha, I want to ask too~"
"Oh, then let us do an interview!" The host saw the excitement and didn't mind it, so he walked towards a few people and wanted to hand over the microphone, "These friends, please...
"
But at this moment, the host noticed that two of them quickly evacuated, leaving two confused guys looking around.
"Um... So what is this classmate's name?"
"Golden Field Continent..."
........
The perspective changes to the audience.
"Naoki, you can really do it!" Yongshan Feng put down the fireworks and said with a wicked smile, "You actually made me do bad things!"
"Brother Kaede also brought two helpers~" Naoki Nagayama looked at the two people holding up the photo banner and said with a smile, "They will be beaten by Tsuruko!"
"Hahaha, that's none of my business!"
Just as the discussion in the audience became more and more lively, Naoki Nagayama saw the host walking towards this side and quickly grabbed Kaede Nagayama:
"Brother Feng, flash!"
"Eh?"
"Do you want to be recognized by the students?"
Although the two of them would not be discovered if they were mixed in the crowd, it would be hard to tell if the spotlight shines on them. Suzuran Overlord and Naoki Huaxin still have a certain reputation among young people! It will be very troublesome if they are recognized.
.....it might cause an accident!
"Ah, yes..." Yongshan Feng hurriedly handed all the banners to Jintian Continent, "I'll leave this to you!"
Then he immediately used his size advantage to squeeze into the crowd with Naoki Nagayama.
"Huh? What do you mean by leaving it to us?"
Jintian Dalu was a little confused, but at this moment, the host handed over the microphone,
"This classmate, what is your name?"
The good lighting engineer also turned the spotlight on the stage at this time to create a highlight.
The vast expanse of white dazzled Jintian Continent, and the looks from the people around him made him even more nervous: "Jintian Continent..."
"Ah, Kaneda-san, are you Tsuruko-san's friend?"
"Hi..." Jintian Dalu felt his whole body tense up, and he seemed to be able to hear the thumping sound of his heart in his ears.
"Haha, you must have put a lot of thought into this support!" the host asked again with a smile.
"Forehead....."
Jintian Dalu was a bit speechless. This was prepared by his uncle... But the two of them ran away, but it was hard to tell their identities... Just like this, Jintian Dalu's face became more and more expressionless.
The redder it gets, the more dizzy my head feels.
"Haha, it seems that our little brother is a bit shy." The host said kindly, "That's it, let me borrow the microphone in front of you. Is there anything you want to say to Tsuruko?"
He originally wanted to ask Kaneda Dalu to say some words of support. This is a common behavior of idols' personal guards, calling their idols in front of the camera.
Jintian Dalu's mind was already in chaos at this time. He opened his mouth but no sound came out.
The host encouraged: "Silly tape, say it loudly!"
The buzz in the audience was so loud, the spotlight was so bright, the banner in my hand felt quite heavy, and the microphone in front of me gave me tremendous pressure...
Kaneda Dalu looked up at a loss and suddenly saw Nagayama Tsuruko on the stage. Although his face was covered with thick white makeup, he could not hide his eyes, which were as bright as the stars in the sky...
.
Seeing no reaction, the host said again: "This classmate..."
"Okay..." said softly.
The host didn't hear clearly: "What did you say, classmate?"
The courage that came from nowhere made Jintian Dalu grab the microphone in front of him, took a deep breath, and said it loudly:
"Tsuruko-chan! I love you so much (I like you)!!!!!"
The square was silent for a moment, then there was a roar and the sound exploded!!!
"Oh ho ho!" "Ha ha~" "Have a hand!" "Awesome! Awesome in every sense of the word!" "Come on, little brother!"
The boys started to applaud one after another, and some lively guys started to whistle, and even the girls laughed loudly... The commotion made the entire Sakura Festival extremely lively at the end.
Hezi on the stage was tense all over and was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to do~
.......
At this time, Nagayama Kaede and Nagayama Naoki, who happened to squeeze out of the crowd, also heard the loud confession coming from the speakers.
Yongshan Feng was stunned at first, and then suddenly felt a lot of inexplicable emotions. The cabbage at home was eaten!!!
Clenching his fists, he wanted to walk towards that guy before and let him know what the iron fist from Brother Tsuruko was!
But Nagayama Naoki stopped him:
"Brother Feng, forget it~ It's not worth it, it's not worth it!"
"Naoki, that's your sister, your biological sister!" Yongshan Feng opened his eyes wide.
"It's time for my own sister to get married!" Nagayama Naoki sighed, "Tsuruko obviously has a crush on that guy too~"
"Have a crush? When and where did you see it?!"
If you don’t have a good impression, will you specifically ask me for tickets to a concert? And you’ll take others with you? And you’ll even get to know Brother Feng?
"Anyway, believe me~" Nagayama Naoki said, "Let her handle the young people's affairs by herself!"
"...Naoki, you are obviously only twenty years old! Don't pretend to be an adult!"
Nagayama Naoki took Nagayama Kaede's arm and walked outside...
"It's just... I didn't expect that my support gift would actually become that guy's help..." Thinking about this, I couldn't reconcile myself, "When that guy comes to officially visit, I will definitely be in trouble.
one time."
"Wait a minute, what if we break up?"
Nagayama Kaede heard this and showed a ferocious smile: "No one can get rid of my Tsuruko! Anyone who has this idea, I will definitely let him go to Tokyo Bay to calm down!"
At this time, Jin Tian Dalu, who was so excited for a moment, felt a chill down his spine~
