Fukawa and Ikuta left the building together.

"Isn't Hikaka with you, Ikuta?" Fukawa asked.

She vaguely remembered that at the end of the training, the two of them went back together. Ikuta went back to get something. With Zhongyuan's character, he should have accompanied her.

"No, I temporarily said that something happened and asked Riya Xiang to go back first."

"Well, why?"

Ikuta lowered his head slightly, "Because, I don't want Hika to think that I am a neglectful person."

Since the 8th single, in the past year or so, without the interference of Wu Geng, the relationship between Ikuta and Zhongyuan has finally returned to the atmosphere of getting along when they were staying together. There is enough time for the two of them to be alone, as long as the schedule is right, go

Go shopping, go to an amusement park, or other places.

Ikuta slowly changed himself, trying to re-establish a stable and mature image of Ikuta in Zhongyuan's heart.

Even without Wu Geng's intervention, she knew that Zhongyuan still had many troubles, such as selection issues, physical problems, and psychological problems. Ikuta was embarrassed to ask questions directly in person, so he had to make himself more reliable, so as to make Zhongyuan more reliable.

Zhongyuan can rely on himself a little.

correct.

"Maimai, what on earth did you hear in the locker room that made you hide in such a hurry?" she asked.

Fukawa looked back in the direction of the practice room.

"Asuka seems to be complaining to Nanamin. She must have had trouble with Shixiao-chan again."

"It's Shiyao-chan again." Ikuta muttered softly.

Fukawa looked at Ikuta, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Ikuta, you... seem to be a little dissatisfied with Shixiao-chan. Did you have any disputes before?"

Ikuta said nothing.

Fukawa thought he had guessed correctly.

In fact, during the recording of the program, Ikuta often broke down Wu Geng's stage. Those words were not included in the script process. Originally, she thought that Ikuta was planning to take the initiative to accept the role of Xiao Asuka and Wu Geng. Because during this period, Xiao Asuka

I rarely quarrel with Wu Geng on the show anymore.

But now it seems that is not the case.

"Although Shixiao-chan sometimes speaks outright, she is actually a very nice person. Most of the time, her words are unintentional. Don't take it to heart, Ikuta."

She tried to understand Ikuta like a big sister.

"It's not my problem."

"I know," Fukawa said, "but we are a unit, and if there is any misunderstanding, we must resolve it as soon as possible and we cannot let our petty emotions go.

That's right, just like what happened between her and Hashimoto.

"But, Shixiao-chan is not good in the first place..."

"Ikuta."

Fukawa emphasized her tone slightly sternly. She rarely or almost never showed this expression, and Ikuta was a little shocked.

Fukawa's soft and gentle face, even if he raises his eyebrows, does not look like he is angry, but more like being coquettish. However, Fukawa, who is usually gentle to others, puts on the look of "I'm going to be angry", which is indeed

It makes people feel sad.

Just like Kawamura, who is always smiling, he will seriously criticize members who don't dance seriously.

For Fukawa, it is more important than anything else for everyone to live in harmony and love.

Ikuta scratched his hair in distress, hesitating whether to tell Fukawa the truth.

"Ah, I don't care what happens next." Her tone of voice made Fukawa a little confused.

"Maimai, what I am going to say next is top secret, you must not tell others."

This sentence……

Fukawa was a little weird. He always felt that Ikuta had set up a small flag. Generally speaking, in film and television works, secrets revealed in this way would be known to everyone in two or three days.

"Actually..." Ikuta looked around, "Actually, Shia-chan is a terrible scumbag, and Hika was hurt by her."

"..." Fukawa's head buzzed for a moment, and he came back to his senses when he looked at Ikuta's serious and serious eyes.

"……joke?"

"It's true!"

——

Xiao Asuka accidentally saw Nishino stealing a kiss on Valentine's Day, and he kept it as promised and has not shared it with her until now. In comparison, Ikuta is really not a person who can keep secrets properly.

Of course, she never promised anyone not to tell anyone about this matter. From this point of view, she was able to hold back until now before revealing it to Fukagawa, the most vocal person in the group, which can be regarded as quite tolerant.

More importantly, there was not much pressure in Ikuta's heart. The pressure of keeping secrets, and the imagination of what would happen next.

The two sat down in a roadside cafe. Firstly, these things were not easy topics for Ikuta to talk about while walking. Secondly, Ikuta became angry when he thought of Wu Geng's various actions towards Zhongyuan.

Don’t mention it all. When people are angry, it’s better to add some sugar. So, Ikuta ordered a chestnut Mont Blanc cake.

Mai Mai should pay, after all, she revealed so much top-secret information. Ikuta thought while eating. Although her original intention was that Fukawa could deeply understand the "dangerous" aspects of Wu Geng.

"Does Shiyao-chan and Hiya have such a relationship..." Fukawa looked complicated and stirred the coffee in the cup with a spoon.

Frankly speaking, Ikuta's expression was not clear and smooth, but Fukagawa still clarified the general outline of the incident. It was just that Zhongyuan had a good impression of Wu Geng, but Wu Geng was unable to detect Zhong Yuan's intentions, which ultimately led to

Zhongyuan was hurt, like this.

"That's right, Shixiao-chan has Na-chan, and she's still carrying the scent of Hiya. It's not clear. If you don't like it, you have to make it clear from the beginning, so that others don't misunderstand and take advantage of it.

"Ikuta chewed the cake in his mouth and felt it was extremely delicious. It was even more delicious than the Montblanc he usually eats.

I don't know if it was because the cakes in this store had some interesting ingredients, or because he finally had a chance to express what he had been holding back in his heart. Ikuta felt much relieved.

"Also, according to my observation, Shixiao-chan and Houli-chan have a very good relationship with each other. The second person injured by Shixiao-chan doesn't know whose turn it is."

Fukawa's mood became complicated.

Did the scene she saw in the practice room last time turn out to be an illusion? She had some admiration for Wu Geng at that time, and admired him for handling the interpersonal relationships around her so well. It seems that no one is the kind of person who can deal with various situations with ease.

people in this situation.

"After all, Shiyao-chan's self-awareness is really bad," Ikuta accused angrily. "She dances well. She saved such a handsome Yumi. She also helped Himaka drive away bastards. She looks cute.

, has a good personality, is nosy without making people feel troublesome, and is a police officer in various groups. She thinks she is the protagonist of Shonen Jump."

Ikuta, are you praising her or hurting her? Fukawa took a sip of coffee silently.

"However, there is nothing we can do about it. After all, Shiyao-chan is relatively slow. Since she didn't notice Hiyaka's thoughts, saying that she hurt Hiyaka might be a little subjective."

Huh? Fukawa frowned, why should I speak for Shixiao-chan?

"Slowness is Shiyao-chan's original sin," Ikuta counted them one by one with his fingers, "There is also the gentleness of a person regardless of time and place, the fact that he is so easy to talk to, and the fact that he is small and cute and can easily confuse others.

And… there’s a lot more, anyway.”

"But before that, Riyaka didn't clearly express her thoughts about Shiyao-chan that she liked. If Shiyao-chan could understand the other person's intentions, she would definitely make it clear and serious, instead of maintaining an unclear relationship.

relation."

Ikuta flattened his mouth and lay on the table, "That's right... Shiyao-chan isn't a bad person either."

"As long as you know," Fukawa lowered his gaze and stared at the tiny dense bubbles clinging to the edge of the coffee in the cup, "When it comes to this matter, no one is right or wrong."

Many things are.

"Although Shia-chan hurt Hikaka, this is not the result she wanted to see. Just like Ikuta said, Shia-chan may have many small character flaws."

He has a weird laugh, is surprisingly timid, easily oversleeps without being woken up, is in poor health, and has very poor table tennis skills.

"But that's also a part of her, a part of her that I like. So, I think it's immature not to accept it all."

Although, her current actions are not considered mature.

"So, I think it is very important to make a choice, whether it is confession or keeping it all in the bottom of my heart. Of course, there will be people who are troubled by this. Nanamin is——"

"Nanamin?" Ikuta was lying on the table, his head almost reaching Fukawa's eyes.

"Ah..." Fukawa subconsciously covered his mouth. What am I talking about?

"What's the matter with Nana Min?" Ikuta asked.

"Nothing...just a slip of the tongue." Fukawa looked away.

Ikuta felt curious, but did not continue to ask.

"In short," she concluded, "Shixiao-chan's character makes it easy for others to like her, and maybe... maybe she will suddenly reconcile with Hika at some point. In order to avoid such a situation, I

You have to pay close attention to the fragrance of sun buds."

"It would be better if Na-chan could take good care of her Xiaoxiao and not let her come out to harm others." She sighed before she died.

Fukawa looked at her awkwardly.

"What's wrong? Mai Mai, look at me like this. Did I say something wrong?"

"...No, I just think what you said, Ikuta, is so right that I thought you were prophesying."

Ikuta was stunned for two or three seconds, "Maimai, what do you mean?"

"Turn around and look behind you..."

Ikuta probably had a premonition of something and swallowed nervously. Like a robot, he turned his head one by one and looked out the French window beside him.

On the street, Wu Geng and Zhong Yuan were walking side by side with relieved smiles on their faces, wondering what they were talking about.

"Ikuta," Fukawa thoughtfully handed over the tissue box on the table, "Cry if you want. There are enough tissues here."
