Chapter 137 You and I join forces, how can he not be tempted (1)

Contrary to the gloom in Qingshui's heart, two days later, Saturday, May 4th, was a sunny day.

The clear blue-white morning sky and the newly emerged sun have no clouds to block its light.

At the dining table in the morning, Shimizu Mi and Hoshino Akiko sat opposite each other.

Putting aside work, after returning from her trip to Okinawa, she felt full of energy and radiant with youth, as if she was twenty years old again.

Sure enough, moderate travel is like a lubricant in life. Shimizu is considering whether he should go somewhere to relax during the next summer vacation.

This morning's dish was toast with ham and eggs. After waiting for the butter on the surface to seep into the toast, Qingshuimin bit into the golden toast, making a crispy sound.

Fold the ham and eggs and stuff them into your mouth. After swallowing them, you have finished your breakfast.

After breakfast, Shimizu changed his clothes and went to the station to take the first train.

The sky viewed from the car window was as clear and sparkling as a sapphire.

Although the weather forecast on the morning news confidently predicted that it would rain today, it was clear that the weather station staff still had more work to do.

"Hehe~~"

The dazzling sunlight that filtered through the white clouds made Qing Shuijian squint his eyes and yawn loudly.

I feel sleepy after getting up early.

I woke up at five o'clock this morning, changed my clothes and left home just twenty-five minutes later at five twenty-five.

After a ten-minute walk, you can catch the first bus at 5:36.

Then, it is about 6:20 now. There are no students at this time on a Saturday morning. In fact, there are only a few passengers. The only person in the same carriage with Shimizu is a man in a suit who looks like he is just in his first year in society.

When Qingshuijian yawned again, he found that he could see the sea in the distance outside the car window from here, sparkling in the sunlight.

It is truly a dazzling, beautiful and refreshing scene.

Yes, Shimizu left Tokyo by train this time and is now in Fujisawa City, Kanagawa Prefecture.

The train slowly stopped at the Enoden platform. When it arrived at the station, Shimizu stood up from his seat.

This was Shimizu's first time in Fujisawa City, but he deliberately made the trip so early on Saturday morning, certainly not for school.

I wiped the tears from my eyes and got off the train. As soon as I arrived at the station platform, I immediately felt the presence of many people.

Compared to Tokyo, this is a small station, and there is not even a station attendant on duty, but it is filled with an atmosphere that makes people feel lively.

The reason why Shimizu Mi came here early in the morning was because he had promised Sakurai Shio that he would come to the crew for an audition.

But he didn't expect that the audition location would be so far away in Fujisawa City.

After the tram left the station, the passengers on the platform gradually dispersed.

Shimizu bought a bottle of water from the vending machine and sat down on the bench. This was the meeting point designated by Sakurai Shio.

On the walls are guides to tourist spots at stations along the line, as well as posters introducing local specialties.

Probably because it was the weekend, there were more tourists from other places like Shimizumi than locals. There were families who came to see the sea, and there were also young couples who seemed to be going on a date.

Leisurely time flows through the station platform, at this moment, a hurried sound of footsteps approaches.

"Sorry... I've waited for a long time."

Shimizu looked up and saw Sakurai Shio standing in front of him, looking a little shy.

Today she wore a white knitted short-sleeved top and a light blue short skirt, exuding a light and elegant vibe. She held a blue and white striped navy-style handbag in both hands, as if to cover her slender thighs wrapped in black tights.

She retains the soft aura of a girl while giving people a refreshing impression of the seaside. It has to be said that she does have unique insights and tastes in clothing matching.

At this time, a moist sea breeze mixed with water vapor blew, and the hem of the short skirt fluttered lightly in the wind.

Shimizu Mi just looked at her without saying a word, while Sakurai Shio, who was standing in front of her, looked around as if she was at a loss.

"Your face is very red."

"Because I was in a hurry just now." Sakurai Shio explained.

"Speaking of which, Senior, you are five minutes late."

Although Shimizu Mi didn't mind waiting a little, the agreement was to meet here at 6:30. Sakurai Shio arrived at 35 minutes, and the pointer was gradually moving towards 40 minutes.

"There's nothing we can do about it, right? After all, it takes time to prepare."

"Ready, huh..."

Shimizu looked at Sakurai Shio's whole body intently.

This outfit can be interpreted as "taking time to prepare". She exudes a modern and fashionable vibe, but at the same time, she is not too flashy and just blends in with the surroundings.

"Where did you buy this kind of clothes, Senior?"

"Ah? Where else? Just a normal clothing store..."

"Where?"

"Why do you ask such a question?"

"Next time I have the chance, I want to buy clothes for my sister."

After all, Reina Shimizu is already a high school student, and she usually wears school uniform. Shimizu Mi thinks that girls of this age could pay a little more attention to their dress.

"You have a younger sister, how old is she?"

Having said that, Sakurai Shio naturally sat down next to Shimizu Mi.

"One year younger than me, but more developed than you."

"I wasn't asking about breasts."

Sakurai Shio pouted dissatisfiedly.

"I'm not talking about breasts either."

Qing Shuijian didn't say a word about that.

"Oh, I...of course I know."

Sakurai Shio paused briefly before she finished the second half of her sentence. And, despite what she said, she obviously looked away at the end.

Shimizu looked at her with sympathy, which eased her mood a little.

"Oh, by the way, junior, ID! ID!"

Then, Sakurai Shio took out her cell phone from her handbag as if she had suddenly remembered something important.

"I originally wanted to inform you that I would be a little late, but you deleted my contact information before."

Shimizumi endured the sudden gaze that was somewhat resentful.

"You mean it's my fault?"

"Well, it's really my fault for being late... I'm sorry."

This time, Sakurai Shio apologized sincerely.

"It's okay, it's only five minutes, I won't make a fuss about it."

"Didn't you care about it just now? By the way, ID."

Sakurai Shio mentioned it again and had already opened the LINE interface.

In fact, Shimizu Mi had added Sakurai Shio's contact information before, but because of considering Sakurai Haruka's feelings, he deleted her.

"Could it be that my sister is very strict with you?"

"No, that's not the case."

Being asked again and again like this, Qing Shuijian couldn't refuse anymore.

However, when he opened his phone, the wallpaper of him hugging Sakurai Haruka that he had taken last time accidentally appeared on the screen.

Although Shimizumi turned it off in an instant, Sakurai Shio's eyes still caught it sharply.

"Nene, tell your sister, what progress have you made?"

Sakurai Shio became like before, she came closer and grabbed Shimizu's sleeve tightly.

Shimizu tried to break free from her grip, but to no avail. What kind of strange power is this? Her movements are so cute, but she can't get rid of it at all... "By the way, have you two kissed? Or have you already...?"

Sakurai Shio gently turned her body, and that soft and delicate body almost wrapped around him.

"No."

Shimizu Ken wanted to get up, but Sakurai Shio pulled his clothes and made him sit down.

"Haven't you kissed me yet, or haven't you..."

Sakurai Shio's smiling face now looks like a kind and amiable older sister. It's not a bad feeling to have a beautiful older sister smiling at you.

But Shimizu felt that Sakurai Shio was just teasing her deliberately. Of course, it wasn't just the kind of bad taste that an older sister would have when teasing a young boy. Maybe she just wanted to know about her younger sister's recent situation.

"Has the audition not started yet?"

Shimizu didn't want to continue discussing this matter with Sakurai Shio, so he brought the subject back to the main topic of today, thinking about finishing the audition quickly, repaying the favor to Sakurai Shio, and then going home quickly.

Sakurai Shioya knew that she shouldn't continue asking questions at this time, as it would only make her seem boring.

"Look, it's on the other side. It's almost time to start now."

Shimizu looked across the tram tracks at the sidewalk along the coast.

There were men carrying strange large cameras, and some were holding white boards, which were probably reflectors.

The people gathered here are the staff who will be filming next.

Qingshui Jian observed the crowd casually. These people were probably professionals in this field.

It was still early after all, so there weren't many passers-by around to watch the fun.

Sakurai Shio told Shimizu that the crew would use time periods like this when there are few passengers to shoot various videos.

The time was almost up, so Shimizu followed Sakurai Shio out of the platform and walked towards the crew opposite.

"Ms. Sakurai Shio is coming~~"

When Sakurai Shio approached, the staff's energetic voices could be heard, and they temporarily put down their work and applauded to greet her. However, out of consideration for the nearby residents, they only clapped lightly.

Sakurai Shio continued walking forward, saying "Thank you for your guidance" and bowed deeply.

The short-haired woman with a microphone hanging from the front of a long stick said "Excuse me" to the staff nearby, and then came in front of the two men.

"Good morning, Miss Xi."

The other party greeted Sakurai Shio enthusiastically.

"Good morning, Ms. Tachibana."

On the way here just now, Sakurai Shio had already briefly introduced to Shimizu Mi that this smartly dressed Miss Tachibana was her agent.

"Hey, is this handsome guy next to you the actor that Miss Xi has been mentioning as the most suitable actor to play the leading role?"

There was curiosity in Miss Tachibana's eyes. She looked at Shimizu with a strange look in her eyes.

"Yes, his name is Shimizumi." Sakurai Shio nodded affirmatively.

"Indeed, as for the first impression, it is indeed very consistent. In fact, in terms of temperament and image, it is even better than I imagined. I believe that Miss Xi's vision is not wrong."

To be honest, Qing Shuijian felt a little uncomfortable with being expected so much from someone he met for the first time. What's more, he was just an outsider, not the actor the other person was talking about.

"I'm so sorry, Mr. Shimizu, the director said that he wants to focus on Miss Xi next, and shoot the promotional video of the movie first. The audition will be postponed a little. Is this okay, Mr. Shimizu?"

Ms. Tachibana simply explained, "Next we will be shooting a promotional video for the movie," and her tone was very polite. Even though the person she was talking to was high school student Shimizu Mi, she responded very politely.

"It's ok."

Afterwards, Shimizu Mi came to the level crossing where he would not affect the filming of the crew and at the same time be able to see Sakurai Shio, keeping a distance of about twenty meters.

"There's no time to lose. Let's take a try before the train arrives at the station."

The person who dominated the scene was a man who looked to be in his early thirties, but also seemed to be almost fifty.

He was dressed very young in shorts and a short-sleeved jacket, but if you look closely you can see that he has a lot of white hair. Judging from the reactions of others, this man of unknown age seemed to be the director of the scene.

"Please give me more advice."

Sakurai Shio greeted the staff and sat on a bench to wait for orders. The camera captured her figure.

"Is the next train ok?"

The director confirmed with the staff to prevent the approaching train from entering the frame and affecting the filming.

"The next train will be in in four minutes, so no problem."

"Then, let's begin."

At the director's command, the test shoot began.

At this moment, the atmosphere at the scene changed. The staff who had been interacting enthusiastically until a moment ago suddenly fell silent, concentrating on doing only one thing, concentrating on Sakurai Shio's acting.

The scene was filled with a breathtaking tension.

No, it was a tingling tension.

Although he was just a bystander, Qingshui got goosebumps all over his body and even felt short of breath.

In this situation, Sakurai Shio showed perfect acting skills as the heroine "Mizuno Inori". She noticed her friend walking towards the camera and instantly broke into a bright smile.

"Okay, Ka."

The first scene should only be about ten seconds long, but Shimizu felt it was particularly long.

The director played the video he had just shot on the screen for confirmation.

A female staff member wearing a waist bag ran over to Sakurai Shio and helped her fix her hair. She looked like a stylist.

"Miss Xi..."

The director left the screen, walked towards Sakurai Shio with a satisfied smile, and told her something.

It seems that the shooting of the first scene went very smoothly and was basically completed in one take.

At this moment, the discussion was interrupted by the sound of an alarm on the platform. It was a train coming from the opposite direction.

"We'll officially start after this train leaves."

As soon as the director finished speaking, the green tram pulled into the station without paying any attention to the photography, and then left the station without anyone getting on or off.

The train slowly moved away, and finally even the sound of its movement could no longer be heard.

The stylist fixed Sakurai Shio's bangs that were messed up by the wind. However, during this time, she inexplicably turned her head and kept looking towards Shimizu.

"OK."

The stylist finally adjusted the curve of the long hair from the shoulders to the front and returned to the back of the camera.

Immediately afterwards, the photographer began to shoot "Mizuno Inori" again, the lighting technician raised the light, the tall male staff at the back picked up the reflector, and the sound engineer prepared the microphone.

Everyone present was focusing their attention on one point: a group of people were about to create a work centered around "Mizuno Inori".

Qing Shuijian belatedly understood the emotions contained therein.

Just now, he thought it was a tense feeling like a gasp, but mistook it for a tingling tension...

Later I realized that the true reason for this nervousness was the trust that all the staff on the set, including the director, photographer, stylist, lighting technician, sound engineer, etc., had in Sakurai Shio.

In terms of age, the youngest, Sakurai Shio, was recognized by them as a partner.

They proved with their attitude that they acknowledged Sakurai Shio as a professional actor, and everyone worked hard, hoping to be worthy of Sakurai Shio's ability.

This kind of emotion will undoubtedly make people feel comfortable.

Being trusted and needed by others will make you extremely happy.

However, the trusted Sakurai Shioji only looked uneasy and looked towards Shimizu again, which made him uneasy as a bystander and even caused a pain similar to colic in his stomach.

Because of the lonely and uneasy look in Sakurai Shio's eyes, Shimizu Ken had seen it on Sakurai Haruka.

That night under the starry sky, this was the look in Haruka Sakurai's eyes when she mentioned her fiancé.
