The 765 Night Concert was a great success.
After Miki got off to a good start, everything went smoothly for the rest of the concert, and Ryuguu Komachi finally arrived in time at the very end, creating a perfect ending.
After that, there were more and more job notices from all sides.
This time, not only STARS and Ryugu Komachi have more work to do, but everyone else is also very happy about it. After all, visible growth is the best. Compared with their previous work, they have made great progress now. Miki has received several model invitations in a row and even shot two commercials, which is a reflection of her popularity.
The same goes for the others. There are countless invitations from movies, TV, and radio programs. Fang Zheng and Ritsuko are also very busy. Of course, there are also large-scale programs jointly organized by 765.
For Fang Zheng, these are naturally all good things.
On the weekly pop music charts, STARS' ranking is getting higher and higher, and they have already entered the top ten, or even the top five. If Fang Zheng works harder and enters the top three, or even wins the weekly championship, STARS will be able to secure a ticket to the Platinum Idol Awards.
And beyond that…
"HONEY!"
Along with the shout, Mei Xi ran over excitedly and threw herself into Fang Zheng's arms.
"You're here."
"Well, here I come."
Fang Zheng patted Meixi on the head and then distanced himself from her again.
After the concert, no one knew what was wrong with Miki. She stopped calling Fang Zheng "producer" and called him "HONEY", which surprised everyone. Haruka and Chihaya were even more troubled. In the past, Miki was just "disrespectful" to Fang Zheng, but now she was openly showing affection.
It's okay in private, but if it happens in public, there might be some troublesome rumors.
So Ritsuko grabbed Miki and gave her a severe lecture, which made her restrain herself a lot. She only called him that in private, but still called him producer in public.
Of course, with Miki's personality, she would definitely forget it as soon as she turned around.
"How about it?"
"Great, huh? The teacher also said that Miki's performance today was very good!"
"That's great, let's continue filming and try to finish it today!"
"no problem!"
At this point, Miki patted her chest with pride, and then jumped back to the set. She started filming again. This time she played the fourth female role in a movie, which was a step up from the high-level NPC. But she didn't know when she would be able to get the leading female role...
Looking at Meixi performing on the set, Fang Zheng nodded, and at this moment, a voice sounded from behind him.
"Kasugano."
"Um?"
Hearing this name, Fang Zheng didn't react for a moment. He turned his head - no one was there, then looked down and soon saw Setsuna.
"Hey, Setsuna? Long time no see. Do you need something from me? Why didn't you call?"
"I was just passing by here and happened to meet you."
Setsuna, who was wearing daily clothes, pointed to the shopping street in front of her. It was obvious that she was out shopping when she happened to see Miki and Fang Zheng who were filming a movie here.
"I almost don't recognize you with those glasses on."
"You haven't changed much from before."
"After all, less than a year has passed..."
Having said that, Setsuna was silent for a moment.
"Do you have time? I have something I want to tell you."
"certainly."
Fang Zheng glanced at his watch.
"I still have half an hour to spare."
As he spoke, Fang Zheng made a gesture to Mi Xi, who was filming, and blinked to show that she understood. Then Fang Zheng turned around and left with Setsuna and walked into a coffee shop not far away.
"What is your relationship with that girl?"
After ordering two cups of coffee, Shatan stared at Fang Zheng and asked.
"Mihi? She's one of my artists."
Fang Zheng picked up the coffee and took a sip, then answered. Faced with Fang Zheng's answer, Shanna was silent for a moment.
"I think she likes you very much."
"I like her too. After all, she is cute and lively, although she has some personality issues."
Under Fang Zheng's guidance, Meixi has now evolved from speaking without thinking to speaking whatever comes to mind... Well, there hasn't been much change actually.
After all, personality problems cannot be changed unless you brainwash.
“…”
Hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Shanna looked at him silently for a while, then sighed.
"Are you always like this?"
“I’ve always been like this.”
Fang Zheng knew what Setsuna meant, so he gave an answer. To be honest, talking to Setsuna made Fang Zheng feel more relaxed, because Setsuna was very smart and quite rational. This was completely different from Sekai, Touma, and Setsuna. There were some things that Fang Zheng could explain to Setsuna, but not to the other three people.
"I heard from Touma that you have many girlfriends in Tendou Palace. Do you treat them like this?"
"That's about right."
“…”
This time, Setsuna frowned, playing with the coffee cup in her hand, and spoke after a long while.
“I don’t think this is love.”
“But I think this is love.”
Fang Zheng shook his head.
"Love itself is a very vague definition. It's not science. The results prove everything."
Having said this, Fang Zheng spread out his hands.
"Everyone has a different definition of love and happiness, and so do I. Of course, I admit that this may not conform to the common modern concept of love, but this is what I think."
“So you rejected them.”
As relatives and friends, Setsuna is naturally very clear about the world, Touma and Setsuna's feelings towards Fang Zheng.
"I didn't reject them, they made their own choice."
Fang Zheng crossed his hands and placed them in front of him.
"Everyone has to make a choice, and they have to bear the consequences of their choices."
"...As for Setsuna, you know, she is just..."
Shanna whispered to Fang Zheng about Xuecai's situation, and Fang Zheng just nodded after listening.
"I see."
"Aren't you angry?"
"There's nothing to be angry about."
Fang Zheng was speaking from the heart. He had read several misleading novels when he was in school. Compared to the suicidal behavior of the heroines in those novels, Xue Cai was just acting on impulse. Not to mention that she was doing well now. She was a rising star and a popular idol, and she was quite famous. Wasn't that a good thing?
It's much better than those heroines in poor rumor-mongering novels who not only torture themselves but also torture others, and finally drag a bunch of people into the water and cry on the shore, shouting "I didn't mean it."
"Really..."
Hearing this, Setsuna nodded silently.
Then she stood up.
"Come with me."
