You are Toyokawa Shoko, then who am I?

The driver's eyes gradually became deep.

He had been an adult for so long that he had forgotten that he was once young, and could stand out like this in a green and naive manner and roar like a teenager.

He took a cigarette and put it in his mouth.

After a while, he lowered the brim of his hat and quietly turned off the useless navigation system that was used to fool the passengers. He turned the steering wheel to the right and took a small road that would allow him to reach his destination in the shortest time.

"Please sit tight, both of you."

At this moment, the elder brother's figure became glorious and majestic.

He was no longer bound by the quagmire of money and realized what he really wanted in his heart.

The dark middle-aged man of the past is dead, and the one sitting in the driver's seat now is a true bright middle-aged man.

I saw the brother throw the unfinished cigarette out of the window, then readjusted his sitting position. At this moment, the strength of ten years of driving surged out from his Dantian, and the whole car was like a galloping wild horse speeding along the road.

"We can get off in ten minutes."

Done.

The driver licked his dry lips.

He has made up his mind to help others complete the regretful thing that he dared not do.

However, what my brother didn't expect was.

The words he just heard were actually all empty talk and nonsense, just a means to trick him into driving faster.

The two young men sitting in the back looked at each other, and saw the smiles that each other tried hard to hide in their eyes. Their fists, one big and one small, touched each other lightly in the air in tacit understanding, as if they were saying something.

Happy cooperation?

Happy cooperation!

……

……

……

"Great, we finally arrived!"

8:13 AM.

With the driver's super high school level driving skills, Chihaya Aine finally arrived at her loyal examination location before the deadline of thirty minutes.

She jumped a few times happily on the spot, her long pink hair fluttering in the air, and the schoolbag on her shoulder also bounced along with it, revealing her most energetic and lovely side without reservation.

Then she clenched her hands into fists and placed them next to her mouth. Her big gray eyes flashed with crystal glints as she blinked at Toyokawa Sho beside her.

“Senior——!”

Chihaya Aine stretched out her voice, "I'm so lucky to have you today, otherwise I would still be at the station, not even able to find someone to call Mom for help. Thank you so much!"

"Okay, it's not too late to say thank you later."

Toyokawa Sho urged, "Time waits for no one, hurry up and go to the examination room. When will you finish the exam?"

"The written exam will be over around 12 o'clock, but there's also an oral exam in the afternoon, so it should be over around 2 or 3 o'clock."

Chihaya Aine thought about it.

"Then I'll call my aunt later and ask her to pick you up this afternoon."

Toyokawa Sho pulled out a few thousand yen bills from his pocket and said, "Use this money to buy lunch for lunch."

"This is too caring..."

Chihaya Aine looked at the several thousand yen bills that were forced into her hands, just like the red envelopes given to her by relatives when she went home for the New Year.

I originally wanted to refuse, but then I thought that if I went hungry at noon it might affect my oral test in the afternoon. After extreme struggle, I finally accepted the money embarrassedly.

"Well, senior, don't worry. I will definitely make up for your expenses today later. If I have time, can you let me treat you to a meal as a thank you? If you don't agree, I will really feel bad, and my mother will definitely scold me..."

Chihaya Aine clasped her hands together, a pleading expression on her face.

But it was also at this time.

A flash of lightning suddenly flashed through her mind.

When a man and a woman go out to eat alone, even if it's under the guise of returning a favor, isn't it still a date?!

So she quickly shook her hand and said.

"I, I mean, please have dinner with your girlfriend. Don't worry, senior, I won't cause you any trouble!"

How long will she keep calling him "senior"...

Toyokawa Sho felt a little uncomfortable with this magical name that had never appeared in the previous world.

But when I thought that the person opposite me was Chihaya Aine, I felt relieved. At least it was better than Soyorin or Rikki.

Then again, what about the girlfriend? Did she meet Li Xi or Mu?

Toyokawa Sho was confused for a moment, and memories flashed in his mind. He remembered the morning when Chihaya Aine and Kaname Rana slept all the way, each holding one of his arms.

Oh.

It turns out he was talking about Lenai.

"She's not my girlfriend,"

Toyokawa Sho shook his head. "Her name is Kaname Lenai, and she's my boss's granddaughter. I was just taking her to school on his behalf that day."

Not a girlfriend?!

Chihaya Aine almost said this out loud.

Fortunately, she covered her mouth with her hand in time, blinked her long and delicate eyelashes quickly, and the words her mother had said to her on the phone began to echo in her head.

[Aine, you know, we don’t object to you dating…]

[You forgot what your mother told you, how she used to catch up with me—]

pat!

Chihaya Aine clapped her hands vigorously.

it is good!

To understanding!

Mom, back off!

Really, this is not the same era as before. How can anyone fall in love with someone after just a few meetings? That’s too fast!

Although the senior is a little different, I always feel like I have known him for many years... But no matter what, things like love must be treated with extreme caution!

"I see. That makes things much easier. Senior, could you please give me your contact information? I'd like to invite you out for dinner later. I know a lot of good places."

Chihaya Aine asked openly.

Toyokawa Sho reached out and took the pen handed to him by Chihaya Aine, and wrote down his account number in her vocabulary notebook.

Chihaya Aine then smiled contentedly, ran forward a few steps, then turned around cutely, her clothes fluttering, looking youthful and beautiful, and then waved her hands vigorously and said.

"Well, Senior, I'm going to take the exam!"

"Go."

"Senior, won't you say something encouraging to me? I have an exam soon and I really need encouragement now!"

Chihaya Aine leaned forward and put her hands in front of her mouth and shouted.

"Then I wish Miss Chihaya Aine a speedy IELTS test. Her strength is as strong as a genius, and others will not be able to defeat her even if they try their best."

"Hmph, then I wish you all the best! I'm leaving, senior. Bye!"

"OK Bye Bye."

Toyokawa Sho smiled and waved to Chihaya Aine, watching the pink figure getting farther and farther away, then slowly withdrew his gaze, opened the map, and navigated to his destination.

The clouds in the distance were stretched infinitely by the wind. Looking up, there was an endless clear sky. A cool breeze blew at this time, bringing the freshness of the early morning, and the sunlight passed through the swaying leaves and cast shadows on the path.

Recalling that lively and cheerful smiling face.

Maybe I'll be in a good mood all day today.

Chapter 75 An Hemai: Do you have an old man at home too?

As a peerless master who has been hanging around on the set for many years and is already familiar with most of the work there, Toyokawa Sho always has a habit after arriving on the set, which is to see if there is anyone he knows there first.

Well known.

The absolute factor that determines the success of a film or television work does not lie in the actors, but in the level of its production team and how rich their experience is.

It’s like when you see the director of a movie is named Takeshi Kitano.

Or maybe you saw the same name of Hayao Miyazaki and Joe Hisaishi in other animations.

This feeling of trust that can be brought to the audience cannot be achieved by actors alone.

This is also why Toyokawa Sho particularly likes to hold a lunch box, and after filming, he will go to the staff to chat about family matters whether he has time or not.

Because this allows you to always discover some shining geniuses on different sets, or rough diamonds that have not yet shined but have already demonstrated their talent.

They are all forces that may be borrowed in the future, and it would be a waste not to get to know them well.

What Toyokawa Sho didn't expect was that the network of interpersonal relationships he had accumulated would one day become something similar to a Pokémon encyclopedia to help him.

After arriving at the set, Toyokawa Sho took a walk around and found that there were not many familiar faces there. He only knew the uncle in charge of photography and the art director over there. He had the honor of working with them several times in the future and even had a drink together privately. They were all trustworthy artists.

As for the others, I can’t even name them. In other words, they are a ragtag group that can’t even be included in the Pokémon Encyclopedia.

There are only one or two people who can carry the banner.

It looks like the quality of this commercial shoot won’t be very high.

However, it is also a good stage for newcomers to practice.

"Do you need help moving the equipment? If you don't mind, let me help too."

After finishing his observation, Toyokawa Sho naturally walked over to the place to help the staff carry things.

There is still some time before the official shooting. An Hetiantong, the general manager of this clothing brand advertisement and the biggest star of the show, has not arrived yet, but the director has already begun to mobilize the entire set to prepare for the shooting.

Toyokawa Sho has always been quick-witted. When he saw that the lighting team needed to debug their equipment, he went over to help calibrate the error. When he saw that the set design team next door also needed help, he first waved his hand to indicate that there was a laborer here, and then walked over diligently to listen to the art director arrange the important tasks.

Some staff members wanted to complain about where this pretty boy came from and caused trouble for no reason. Whose relative had sent him here to gild his reputation?

But when you look at Toyokawa Sho's neat and efficient manner, it's obvious that he understands the professional terms and knows what he is doing. He even takes the time to help make art props.

The staffs immediately put aside their disdain and thought that this handsome young man was so dashing. Even though it was not his job, he took the initiative to help them.

What a good man.

The art director in charge of scene design also noticed Toyokawa Sho's activities. He first asked the people next to him a few questions, and when he saw that everyone shook their heads, he walked over and asked.

"Hey bro, which group are you from? You look a little unfamiliar."

"Are you asking me?"

Toyokawa Sho turned around and gave a standard business smile, "I'm here to be a model."

"Huh? Model?"

A model doing art design so well?

The art director was shocked.

He originally wanted to complain about how this was impossible, but when he saw the other person's face, which looked like God was chasing him and feeding him, the words in his throat immediately disappeared, leaving only a puzzled expression on his face.

"But your work is better than those college students who come here to intern on the set, and you don't look like a professional watchmaker..."

He then revealed a look of sudden enlightenment. "Oh, I get it. Did you study digital media or photography in college, and you couldn't make it, so you decided to make money as a model?"

"Teacher, I am a minor and have not yet started college."

Toyokawa Sho blinked his eyes, his face looking harmless.

“Minor…!?”

The art director was shocked.
