It was already twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, but Zhongyuan Rimeixiang was still lying on the bed looking at the ceiling, unable to fall asleep for a long time.
After the results of the first selection were announced in the afternoon, she was the only one in the four-person group who was not selected. Oda and others wanted to comfort her, but they were all dismissed by her with "I'm okay" and a gentle smile. Because in the first round
The members had to prepare non-stop for the recording of the series the next day, so although they were all worried about Riyaka, she went to bed very early.
However, I am still very unwilling to accept it.
I tried to put on a strong face in order not to worry her, but late at night, when I was alone, my tears still fell uncontrollably.
There is a line in the movie "Three Idiots": "We have learned a lesson in human behavior: if your friend fails, you feel bad; if your friend tops, you feel even worse." This is probably.
It can accurately describe how Riyaka feels now.
They obviously put in the same effort and performed well enough...
Riyaka bit the quilt with her teeth, restraining herself from letting out the whine in her throat.
It can't be heard by little birds, and it can't make them worry.
It must be that I haven’t worked hard enough.
Rika believes that as long as she works hard enough, she will definitely be able to catch up with those members of the selection team. Since she is not considered a genius, she must work a hundred times harder.
She has never been afraid of hardship.
…
Early the next morning, all the members got up early. After the training, they were greeted non-stop by their first fan meeting and handshake party. After getting dressed, Xiao Asuka took Hiyaka,
She skipped to the next door to find Oda and Ikuta to gather together. Her excitement could be seen from the smiling expression on her face.
Riyaka was being held by the little Asuka, with a helpless smile on her face. No trace of last night could be seen at all. In order not to worry the other members, Riyaka deliberately set the alarm clock to get up earlier than Asuka, and wiped the smile on her face.
After cleaning all the tear stains, I used a cold towel to apply cold compress to my swollen eyes from crying. After repeatedly confirming that there were no traces of crying last night on my face, I went to wake up Asuka.
Knocking on the door of the dormitory next door, Oda and Ikuta had already put on their uniforms and walked out. As soon as Ikuta opened the door, he grabbed Little Asuka's hand from Hikaka with excitement on his face: "Asuka is so cute in uniform!
"She wanted to pull Xiao Feiniao around a few times, but Feiniao sternly refused. But Xiao Feiniao was in such a good mood that he let her hold her hand.
Oda glanced at Hika with worried eyes, as if she was a little afraid that yesterday's selection result would affect her condition today. But Hika responded with a firm look of "I'm fine."
After the gathering, the 34 members of Nogizaka46 took a bus to the venue for the first meeting. Hika noticed that Oda had brought his violin on the bus. "It was probably during the stunt reveal session later.
It's time to perform." Thinking of the melodious violin sound played by Oda in her mind, the fatigue and entanglement still left in Hikaka's heart seemed to have disappeared.
After entering the lounge through the back door, the members were all nervously preparing what they would say when they came on stage and what stunts they would do. Among them, Rena Ichirai was called outside by the person in charge, as if to preside over work before the meeting.
Make preparations.
Noisy sounds gradually came from the outside. After hearing this, the members became more nervous and at the same time more expectant.
Because Oda had performed on stage many times, he was not as nervous as other members. After confirming the self-introduction he was going to say later, Oda leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to rest. He wanted to relax for a while.
, but the look in Hinaka's eyes just now was in his mind. Although it was no different from usual, Oda still felt a little tired in it.
It should be okay. Oda couldn't help but glance at Hikaka again. She was sitting on the chair carefully touching up her makeup, and she didn't know what she was mumbling.
The meet-and-greet officially began. The Nogizaka members lined up on stage to introduce themselves one by one. In order to let the audience remember, every member can be said to have tried their best. Wada Maya's backflip, Hashimoto Nanami's fuck
The mobile phone, Takayama Kazumi’s elbow rub, etc. all left a deep impression on the audience.
Oda revealed the fan nickname "Nobu-chan" that he had been thinking about for a long time, and performed a short violin solo dedicated to showing off Paganini's skills, which also won warm applause from the audience.
After the meeting is the handshake meeting, which is also the part that Oda fears the most. She has not been good at communicating with people since she was a child, and she basically handles conversations with others with "um" and "ah", but this time she needs to talk to someone again.
A strange man shook hands and needed to respond enthusiastically. Before he could make mental preparations, the first batch of fans had already been let in. He hurriedly raised a somewhat stiff professional smile, and Oda City welcomed its first fan.
a fan.
"Nobu-chan, the violin is really good."
"Uh-huh."
"Nobu-chan, Lord Nobunaga is my favorite historical figure!"
"Uh-huh."
"Nobu-chan, you look like a young lady! Um, can you, can you scold me?"
"Uh...huh????Okay, pervert!"
"Ah! I'm so excited to be scolded by Nobu-chan!"
"??????" (ps. black question mark face)
Faced with various problems, Oda basically responded with a smile and "Hmm". He wanted to say more, but didn't know what to say. In the end, he gave up the idea and just said "Hmm"
"corresponds to the past.
Next to her, Hiyaka had a bright smile on her face. She leaned forward and shook hands with every fan who came to shake hands with energy, accompanied by "Come on!" and "I believe you can do it!"
The voice of encouragement was in great contrast to myself.
Isn’t it suitable for me to be an idol? Oda, who has been leading the training camp, had this thought for the first time.
…
This handshake meeting lasted for fifteen minutes. Oda calculated that he had shaken more than twenty people. When he heard the bell ringing the end of the handshake meeting, Oda felt as if he had heard the gospel of an angel. She rubbed her already
With a stiff smile on his face, he moved his body and immediately slipped into the lounge and slumped down on a chair. He completely lost the indifferent look he had before the meeting.
Most of the other members also looked tired. Ikoma seemed to have been said a lot of bad things by an Osuke, and was huddled in a corner crying. Takayama Kazumi and other girls with whom she was close were waiting.
comfort her.
After a while, Nanxiang came in and talked to the members about the meeting. He also specially named a few outstanding members and a few less qualified members. Zhongyuan Rimexiang was one of the former.
member, and Oda's poker face was severely criticized by Nango.
"The handshake is one of the most important ways for idols to cultivate fans. No matter how good your usual performance is, if you don't perform well during the handshake, you will lose a large number of fans." When he said this, Nanxiang looked at him seriously.
Taking a look at Oda, it seemed that her handshake was so embarrassing that even Nango himself couldn't stand it.
On the way back to the dormitory, Oda has been a little depressed. In the first 14 years of her life, although she cannot be said to have always been excellent, she was at the forefront in terms of comprehensive ability and academic performance in all aspects and was rarely criticized. This handshake meeting
It is a very embarrassing thing to be criticized by name in front of all the members.
Sensing Oda's depressed mood, Hikaka, who was sitting next to her, gently held her hand.
"Xiaoshi, it's okay. You can definitely do better in the future."
The gentle smile was like sunshine, penetrating Oda's heart and sweeping away all the gloom.
"Sure enough, Hika, you are a born idol..." Oda couldn't help but think like this.
