Am I being simulated by their love affair.

Chapter 164 The Two's Victory Night
Outside the TBS building, Jun Matsueda walked towards Akasaka Station, thinking he would go home after the performance.

"Wait!" Kurusu Yoshi grabbed Matsueda Jun's coat, "Change clothes with me!"

So Kurusu Yoshi changed into his black baseball jacket, went back to the main entrance of the TBS building, and leaned against the wall wearing a baseball cap.

The audience passed by her after the show, not realizing that this was the girl who had mercilessly stolen their hearts on the stage just now.

"The girl who was singing barefoot before was called Lai Qi Yang Shi, right? The typhoon seemed so strong."

"She seems to be a new member of JINIAS? After watching today's 'Ou Dan', she's the only one I remember."

"By the way, I'm in the front row, and I think Yosei-chan's feet are really beautiful, rare among Japanese girls."

After the crowd had gone away, Matsueda Jun walked up to her and asked, "Isn't that guy's focus at the end a bit strange?"

The girl, with her hat pulled down, giggled, "All the audience members who left the theater were talking about me."

"all!"

Jun Matsueda's coordinated applause echoed alone in this dark corner.

"Let's go have a midnight snack." The girl said enthusiastically.

"It's not time for a midnight snack yet." Jun Matsueda looked at his phone and saw that it was just past nine o'clock.

"The stage consumes a lot of energy!" The girl raised the brim of her hat and glared at him, then walked towards the subway station.

In order to avoid the crowds leaving the show, Kurusu Yoshi decided to take the train for one more stop and get off at Omotesando.

"You're going to Omotesando for a late-night snack? Is it because the money is too much?" Jun Matsueda took off his hat as he watched the girl walk out of the platform.

"It's okay. It can be reimbursed from the activity funds anyway. My sister said we can just treat it as a celebration party and eat whatever we want." Lai Qi Yangshi shook his hair and started looking for a place to have a midnight snack.

"Isn't she coming along?" Jun Matsueda remembered that the agent got in the car shortly after the recording ended.

"Sister has to go back to report to work. Once this episode airs, we'll have to start preparing for our debut promotions."

The girl walked into a small path on the side, and Matsueda Jun followed her. "You just finished your performance, and she was so confident that she would let you run around alone?"

Matsueda Jun was still a bit strict with the agent, but Kurusu Yoshi smiled even more happily, "I told her, everything will be fine with you around."

The girl opened the door of the "Nakanishi Izakaya" and said, "Let's have our midnight snack here tonight~"

"First, let's have the Okinawa salt-grilled pork knuckle, then the yakitori set meal and the seasonal vegetable set meal. Oh, remember to order the lemon sour first!"

"Matsueda, do you want to drink?" Lai Qi Yang Shi turned around and asked him. Matsueda Jun shook his head. He still remembered the lesson from last time.

After the transparent liquid with lemon slices floating in it was served, the girl raised her glass and took a big sip.

"What a shame it's second place—"

This time she still said it with a smile.

"Didn't the agent tell you a long time ago?" Matsueda Jun looked helplessly at the charming red on the girl's cheeks.

"The first place this time has already been decided."

"There's nothing I can do about it." Kurusu watched the bubbles rising in the wine glass burst as they neared the surface. "Even though I already knew the first place was already decided, I still hope my debut will have a perfect result."

"I was thinking that if my performance was amazing enough, maybe I could get the guests to go against the program's arrangement and give me some points."

"If you know hypnosis or something, maybe you can do it." Matsueda Jun rolled his eyes at her, and the waiter brought up the salt-roasted pig's trotters.

"It smells so good~" The conversation between the two was temporarily interrupted, and they simultaneously stretched out their chopsticks to pick up the cut pig's trotters.

The meat was perfectly deboned, the skin was roasted to a slightly firmer texture, and the sticky, chewy flesh and pork required almost no chewing. After a simple salting, it became an exquisite dish that you'd want to suck on the bones. "Having a late-night snack after a performance is so great," the girl mumbled. Jun Matsueda nodded in agreement; having a free late-night snack after a performance was indeed very enjoyable.

After drinking some water, the conversation continued, "Just in this episode, you're already the most dazzling one."

Jun Matsueda still remembers the guest's comment, "It's like a flower blooming on the edge of a cliff, making people tremble with fear but unable to help but approach."

"The production team must be having a headache right now. How can they edit the show so that the audience can believe that guy named Lai Qi Yang Shi is not number one?"

The girl laughed happily while holding the wine glass, and some of the wine in the glass spilled out. "Then I want to watch my performance on TV again!"

"By the way, your performance this time didn't have many dance moves, so why didn't the host call you a singer?"

"Because I debuted as an idol. Actor, singer, idol, these identities must be distinguished." Kurusu Yoshi put down the wine glass, picked up a skewer of yakitori, held it from the bottom with one hand and put it into her mouth. For some reason, the girl's behavior became ladylike again.

"Actors act, and singers sing."

"What about the idol?"

“Idols are both actors and singers.” Seemingly feeling that her words were not very convincing, the girl held the wine glass to her face, trying to block Matsueda Jun’s view.

"Are you drunk?" Jun Matsueda felt that Kurusu Yoshi's IQ was beginning to decline.

"Well, how should I put it?" The girl lay on the table, thinking. Her long hair was spread out on the table, and her original pink pudding-like hair had disappeared, with only the ends of her hair still showing a light pink color.

"Being an idol is about selling hope!"

“Hmm.” Faced with such an abstract explanation, Jun Matsue did not deny it. He recalled how Yosuke Kiyo performed on stage, as if she were in a different universe or space from the audience, making people realize that they were untouchable by the girl and could only bask in her light.

"Perhaps that's the case."

"Really?" Lai Qi Yang Shi smiled brightly again.

After finishing their midnight snack, the two walked towards Harajuku to take the subway home.

"Matsuzhi." Laiqi Yangshi beside him called him. The girl was still wearing his coat and had not changed back. It should be full of the smell of alcohol by now.

"Are you drunk?" Jun Matsueda looked at the girl beside him and prepared to support her.

"No." Lai Qi Yang Shi waved his hands to fan himself, trying to dispel the heat on his face.

"I'm an idol now?"

"Ah."

"A grand debut, huh?"

"So awesome~"

"I will stand at the top of the idol list!"

"It's hard not to believe it." Jun Matsueda smiled in the night breeze. His cheeks were a little hot, probably because he ate too much meat in the izakaya.

"Matsueda, from the underground livehouse to the TV station building, there will be many bigger and more magnificent theaters waiting for me in the future."

"I'm on the stage, and you're below."

"Just keep watching me and witness my journey to becoming an idol, okay?"

"it is good."

There was a faint sweet smell in the night breeze, and Jun Matsueda couldn't tell whether it came from his coat or the girl's breath in his ear.
