This time Xuebu didn't even scream.

Because she fainted directly.

When Xuebu opened his eyes again, what he saw was an unfamiliar ceiling.

At the same time, Fang Zheng's voice sounded from beside her.

"you're awake?"

"!"

Hearing Fang Zheng's voice, Xuebu sat up in fright and huddled up against the wall. Then she saw Fang Zheng sitting on the chair beside her bed, watching her.

And the next moment, Fang Zheng spoke.

"Ogihara Yukiho!"

"Ah...yes! Mr. Producer...?"

Hearing Fang Zheng suddenly calling her name, Xuebu suddenly felt a little nervous. She subconsciously looked around and realized that this should be the infirmary of a certain school. There were only herself and Fang Zheng in the whole room.

This made Xue Bu even more frightened and uneasy... But before she could say anything else, Fang Zheng continued to speak.

"Why did you become an idol?"

"I……………"

Hearing Fangzheng's inquiry, Xuebu hesitated.

【 .】

"I...I don't have confidence in myself. I want to get rid of my cowardly character...that's why I...become an idol."

"I guess so."

Fang Zheng nodded. This answer was not beyond his expectation. If it weren't for some special reason, it would be basically impossible for a shy girl like Ogihara Yukiho to want to become an idol.

"Your idea is good, but..."

"but?"

"Did you do it?"

"Why?"

Hearing Fang Zheng's inquiry, Xuebu was stunned for a moment, but Fang Zheng continued to speak.

"You became an idol because you wanted to change your personality and become a different person. So what now? What are you doing? Are you working hard to face all this?"

"I……………"

"It's not surprising that you are afraid of men. But since you have decided to be an idol, you should know that this is a difficulty you must face. Just escaping is of no use. You must cheer up and face it proactively.

OK."

After saying this, Fang Zheng stood up and stared at Xuebu, who was also clasping his hands and looking pale.

"But you have been running away. I don't know why you are afraid of men, but since you are determined to overcome it, you must show up with courage."

"me………"

Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Xuebu opened his mouth, then lowered his head in frustration.

"I... am I not doing well? I want to overcome my weaknesses, but I can't do it. Is it true that I can't do anything? I became an idol because my friends helped me sign up, so

I just came to participate. But...but I feel that I am not suitable to be an idol at all..."

"So you have to deny yourself?"

Fang Zheng also saw that Yukipo's biggest problem was his lack of self-confidence. This was also normal. Shinji Ikari also had this problem. He thought he was incompetent at everything. Even driving the EVA was pushed to the top. He still passed by Fang Zheng's Si

After training with Bada, his character gradually changed.

But for Ogihara Yukiho and Fangzheng, it is of course impossible to use Spartan training.

"…………"

This time, Xuebu didn't speak.

“If you don’t have confidence in yourself, it’s useless for others to believe in you.”

If it were the protagonists in love games, they would probably say something like "I believe in you, even if you don't believe in yourself, I will believe in you" to gain Xuebu's favor, but Fangzheng didn't.

In this mood, what he is playing now is idol development, not a love simulation. Moreover, those words are meaningless to Fang Zheng.

This is like a teacher and a classmate. If they are classmates, they should be considerate and tolerant of each other. Of course, even if the other party does something wrong, as a classmate, as a friend, as a best friend, it is difficult for me to point it out, or even follow it.

It's okay to do what you want.

But the same can't be said for teachers. Even teachers who have a good relationship with students on weekdays will not look down upon them in this regard, because teaching and educating people is their job, so they often have to deal with it.

Of course, there may be many students who couldn't figure it out at the time, and even resented the teacher because of it, but when they grow up and enter the society, some of them will understand the teacher's painstaking efforts.

Of course, there are some people who are unrepentant.

But none of this matters.

It doesn't matter if it's square.

"You have to know, Xuebu, you are an idol now. You can find ten thousand reasons to escape from all this, but don't forget that others are waiting for you and they believe in you... Okay, to be honest

, it’s useless for them to believe in you, because you don’t believe in yourself. Now tell me, is your so-called desire to become an idol and change yourself just a whim?”

"…………"

"answer me!"

"no!"

Faced with Fang Zheng's shouting question, Xue Bu screamed out in fright, and then she clenched her fists.

"I, I really want to change myself, but, I don't know..."

"You don't need to know. No one knows what will happen to you in the future. Maybe you will be hit by a car and die when you go out one day. Why don't you eat today?"

Fang Zheng stared at Xue Bu, making her unable to raise her head.

"To be honest, I have no way to tell you that you will definitely be able to overcome it, or that it is absolutely impossible for you to overcome it. No one knows what the final result will be. You don't know, I don't know, and neither do others. But this

It’s life, we do what we can do, and leave the rest to fate. Now, let me ask you again, are you ready to take this step?"

"………………"

Hearing this, Xuebu was silent for a moment, then she raised her head uneasily and looked directly into Fang Zheng's eyes for the first time.

"Producer... I, can I really take this step?"

"This is your choice. If you just stand here, then you will never know whether success or failure is waiting for you after you take this step. Indeed, standing still is the safest, although you will not succeed.

, but at least you won’t fail. But, if you want to stay put, do you think others will always stay with you?"

"………………"

This time, Xue Bu didn't answer, and Fang Zheng's voice became softer.

"But don't worry, I will push you behind you. No matter if you fall or go down in front, I will be watching from behind."

After saying this, Fang Zheng stretched out his hand.

"The next step is your own decision. This path is your choice. You can only walk it yourself."

This time, Xuebu was silent for a long time. Then she closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and then opened them again.

"I...I'm not willing to give in. I want to give it a try. Producer...I...I think I can do it!"

While saying this, Xuebu looked at Fangzheng's outstretched hand. She hesitated for a moment, as if what was in front of her was not a hand but a red-hot iron. Fangzheng's movements did not change at all, even if Xuebu did not.

In response, he just stretched out his hand and stared at her.

After several minutes, Xue Bu gritted his teeth, as if he had made up his mind, stretched out his hand, held Fang Zheng's hand, and stood up.

"How does it feel? It's not that scary, is it?"

"Ah...well..."

Feeling the warm touch from her hands, Xuebu's cheeks couldn't help but blush slightly. She was a little nervous at first, but soon, Xuebu felt a warm breath, and the touch of her hands was as if someone was holding her.

He gently held her in his arms, making Xuebu's heart, which was originally beating due to fear, involuntarily calm down.

"Now that you have made your choice, be prepared. We have a lot of troubles to deal with next."

As he said this, Fang Zheng let go of his hand and walked towards the door. Xue Bu, who let go of her hand, felt a little empty in her heart, but she only hesitated for two seconds and followed Fang Zheng out of the infirmary.

.

Then, Xue Bu knew why Fang Zheng said, "There are still a lot of troublesome things to deal with."

Because it's a complete mess.

The venue for the mini live performance as a celebration was on the playground of Jiangxiang Elementary School. A simple stage was set up at the end of the playground, and that was all. There were other things, including speakers, but there were a lot of them.

It's an old thing, maybe even from when the elementary school was built. It's pretty good if it's barely usable now.

Not only that, there are not even lighting engineers and sound engineers here, which means that everyone has to do everything by themselves.
