Tokyo: My Girlfriend

Chapter 104 Aoki Akemi's Collapse

After getting off the tram, Shinichi Kitagawa and Akemi Aoki took a taxi to the filming location arranged by the entertainment company.

The location is next to a park.

On the way, Kitagawa Shinichi saw Akemi still leaning on his shoulder and softly asked, "Has something happened recently? Can't you tell me?"

Akemi Aoki gripped Shinichi Kitagawa's hand a little tighter, but still smiled sweetly: "Nothing really happened, Shinichi-kun, why do you say that?"

"Mingmei.."

Shinichi Kitagawa knew she was in such a state that he couldn't ask her any more questions.

But no matter what happens, he is determined to get through it together with her, and said gently, "Then tell me when you want to. No matter what happens, I will get through it with Akemi."

Normally, Aoki Akemi would be happy to hear such sweet words.

But at that moment, she didn't feel that way.

Because this situation is clearly different.

It wasn't that she didn't want to ask the questions in her heart, but she felt that if she asked those doubts, it would be as if she were doubting that Shinichi didn't like her.

She knew that the other person didn't really like her that much, but some things would be bad if they were brought up.

That would cause a big problem.

The scales of victory will tip completely.

A few days later, Shinichi Kitagawa and Akemi Aoki filmed my video.

It went well at first, and Akemi was able to get into the zone, but one afternoon...

After the incident, Aoki Akemi's subconscious emotions seemed to be unable to be suppressed any longer.

At the time, the crew was filming a music video scene on a grassy field. Shinichi Kitagawa sat in the rest area in the distance, watching Akemi walk on the grass in a dress, acting seriously, while chatting with his future younger brother, Hirano Aoki, on his phone.

In another six months, we will truly become a family.

Shinichi Kitagawa: "Hirano, has anything happened at your house lately?"

Hirano Aoki replied with a cute girl emoji with a question mark on her face: "What's wrong? Nothing happened."

Shinichi Kitagawa: "Don't lie to me, we're partners."

Aoki Hirano: "Why would I lie to you? We're partners, and you're my future brother-in-law. I have no reason to lie to you. Why are you asking this all of a sudden? It doesn't make any sense."

Shinichi Kitagawa didn't intend to hide anything from her: "I felt that your sister's mood had been a bit off lately, so I asked. She seems to be troubled by something, but she won't tell me."

"My sister's acting strange? No, I really don't know."

Shinichi Kitagawa knew that Hirano Aoki and Toka Nagai were deeply in love during this time, and probably wouldn't care about Akemi's affairs.

Therefore, the observation was definitely not careful.

However, since it wasn't something that happened at home, it means it's just Mingmei's personal matter, and Mingmei has been with me almost every day these days.

It shouldn't be anything serious.

Shinichi Kitagawa's anxiety was relieved.

"Okay, I understand. I'll stop talking to you then."

Hirano Aoki: "Yeah, I think if my sister has something on her mind, it's probably because of her partner. You should comfort her a bit. She's usually quite obedient to you."

Kitagawa Shinichi laughed; he wasn't wrong.

I put my phone away, looked up at Mingmei who was filming, and thought about taking her out for a nice lunch.

We'll investigate what happened gradually.

As I pondered, a female singer walked over quietly.

The other person was very beautiful and petite, with a figure somewhat similar to Rena's. Kitagawa Shinichi didn't know her name, but he knew that she was also a singer signed with New Star Entertainment for more than a year and was here to play a supporting role in Akemi's music video.

Since the girls didn't have any scenes in the grassy area, she was free to move around. She humbly approached and said, "You must be Teacher Kitagawa? The legendary assistant to Ms. Akemi? The teacher who wrote songs for Akemi?"

It wasn't a secret that Shinichi Kitagawa wrote a song for Akemi Aoki, and Akemi didn't intend to hide it either; many people in the company knew about it.

Kitagawa Shinichi nodded: "Yes, it's me."

The girl took two steps forward, shy yet excited, and clasped her hands together, saying, "I've heard of you a long time ago. I have a question for you: are you a novelist? Is your pen name Mr. Kong?"

Shinichi Kitagawa was surprised: "You knew about this too?"

The girl blushed with immense joy, her eyes wide as she grasped Kitagawa Shinichi's hand: "It really is you! I'm your number one fan! I'm so excited! You haven't been writing any books lately, and we fans have been wondering what you've been up to. Someone even heard you were mentoring a singer? I immediately thought of Akemi-san and your story, and wondered if you were Mr. Sora! I never expected..."

She covered her mouth, overjoyed: "I can't believe it's true! Can I have your contact information? If you agree, I'll be happy for a whole year!"

Shinichi Kitagawa smiled and nodded, looking at their clasped hands. The other person realized he had been a bit rude and quickly and shyly let go, repeatedly apologizing, saying he was just too excited.

Shinichi Kitagawa wasn't offended: "It's alright, of course we can add each other's contact information. Please wait a moment."

Shinichi Kitagawa has been adding a lot of these singers' contact information lately. He now has a dedicated work account for adding these people, so he politely agrees to add anyone who asks.

Just as Kitagawa Shinichi took out his phone, about to tell the other party his account number...

Suddenly, a crisp slap rang out.

The sound appeared in my ears almost without warning, without any build-up.

Kitagawa Shinichi looked up in a daze.

Upon discovering that it was Aoki Akemi, who had been filming a music video, she inexplicably ran over, her eyes red with jealousy and anger, and slapped the girl, saying, "Who told you to get so close to my boyfriend?! You want to steal Shinichi away too?!"

The girl who had been slapped immediately had tears in her eyes, not understanding what had happened.

"Ms. Akemi... I... I just want to add a friend..."

Shinichi Kitagawa and the other staff looked at Akemi Aoki with confusion, especially Shinichi, who quickly grabbed Akemi's arm to stop her from continuing: "What are you doing, Akemi?!"

He paused for a moment after seeing Aoki Akemi's eyes.

Because the intense insecurity in Aoki Akemi's eyes at that moment was like a bottle of Coke filled with Mentos, overflowing uncontrollably.

Akemi Aoki frowned, both jealous and annoyed. She couldn't get angry at Shinichi Kitagawa, so she just stared at the girl in despair.

She seemed to realize she had done something wrong only after the fact, but she had clearly reached her limit and could no longer restrain herself.

The girl who was beaten ran away in fear and sadness, tears streaming down her face.

Shinichi Kitagawa realized that Akemi was acting strangely, so he quickly apologized to the staff present.

He took Mingmei to a secluded place, saying they would rest for a while.

He first arranged for his public agent to apologize to the girl on his behalf, and then he and Mingmei would go over in person to apologize to her in person later.

We arrived at the empty lounge.

Kitagawa Shinichi closed the door, puzzled: "What happened? Why did they attack?"

Aoki Akemi looked down at her hand that had just hit someone, realizing that her anger wasn't actually directed at the girl.

However, during filming, she inadvertently saw Shinichi Kitagawa laughing so happily with the other person. Seeing their hands clasped together and that petite body, she momentarily hallucinated that person and suddenly thought of Rena Kitagawa and Haruna Kasuga.

Akemi Aoki squatted on the ground and broke down in tears.

"Shin-ichi... I feel so bad, Shin-ichi... I feel like I have so many feelings stuck in my heart that I can't express..."

Shinichi Kitagawa wanted to comfort him.

But he was scolded and stopped by the other party: "Shin-il-kun, don't touch me! I... if you try to coax me now, I'll definitely argue with you. I don't want to argue with Shin-il-kun, I don't want to disappoint you, but I can't control my emotions right now... I just saw you laughing so happily with a girl, I'm so angry, so angry that my whole body is shaking."

Shinichi Kitagawa still didn't quite understand, because Akemi had agreed to add other singers' contact information beforehand, and he would always show Akemi what they talked about after adding them, never hiding anything from her.

Besides, Aoki Akemi is definitely not such a petty person, so why is she breaking down like this right now?

Shinichi Kitagawa asked softly, "You don't like me adding those girls as friends?"

"That's not it!" she replied immediately, raising her head and staring at Kitagawa Shinichi with tears streaming down her face. "It's not that I dislike these little things, I..." she couldn't help but blurt out, "I dislike Rena! I dislike you being so close to Rena and Haruhi! Why should I, as your girlfriend, have to watch you and Rena being all lovey-dovey all the time! Why can Rena possess Shinichi just because she's called a younger sister?!"

"What?" Shinichi Kitagawa frowned. "Possession? Rena hasn't done anything lately..."

"You really didn't do anything?!" Aoki Akemi frowned and stared intently at the other person, her eyes bloodshot: "Shinichi-kun, I'm not stupid when it comes to relationships. I can't be stupid even if I wanted to. We've been dating for more than two months, and I think you know yourself how many things you've never told me?"

Including the times Rena would hug you, the times you two would kiss, the times you would sleep together, and even the times you would meet with Haruhi Hina... Can you honestly say you haven't done any of these things?!
