After the recording of the program was completed, Ikoma and Takayama fell behind the team because they waited a little longer for the fifth watch.

The bus that picks up the team stops at the back door of the building, and the members rush back to the practice room when they arrive.

"That...sorry."

The three of them jogged all the way to where the bus was. Wu Geng had already noticed something was wrong in the atmosphere.

Gao Shan and Ikoma were hesitant to speak. Unexpressible emotions piled up in the air, making even breathing difficult. It was a bit dull, and the weather was rainy. You could feel it in the fifth hour.

It was Gao Shan who spoke first.

"I'm sorry, Xiaoxiao, it feels like we have abandoned you."

Huh? What are you talking about? I'm totally confused.

"That...Seven Lucky Gods..." Ikoma said cautiously.

The two of them were slightly cautious, which made Wu Geng a little funny.

"I'm not that narrow-minded." She put her arms around their shoulders, but because of their size, she was lifted up by Gao Shan.

The two people who were suddenly "attacked" stopped unconsciously.

Wu Geng stood on tiptoes and swayed in the air twice, then let go of his hands and stood still.

"I'm very happy," she said with a smile, "Ikoma and Minoru can enter the Seven Lucky Gods, I'm really happy for you. Although Nanase is a little disappointed that he didn't enter the selection, the overall result is not bad."

Ikoma carefully observed Wugeng's smiling face, "Are you really not trying to be brave?"

Gao Shan said worriedly: "Xiao Xiao, if you are unhappy, you can vent it out."

"So what do you think of me?" Wu Geng sighed, and then his eyes gradually brightened, with no confusion and clear eyes.

I'm sad and depressed. You must be looking down on me too much."

Takayama and Ikoma observed for a long time before they felt relieved.

Wu Geng stepped forward and grabbed their arms, "Let's go quickly, the members are still waiting for us."

Being pulled forward by the girl, Ikoma and Takayama looked at each other and smiled.

It turns out that this is how you feel when your companions worry about you.

In the corridor that seemed to be stretched, the girl running smiled.

(ex){}&/In short, let’s do it step by step. In the end, this comforted me.

Of course, in fact, Wu Gen is not qualified to criticize others.

Probably because I often read alone when I was a child, which reduced the time I spent communicating with other people. Naturally, I had few friends, and maybe those people were not even friends. Since I no longer had friends to disturb me during weekends after school, I naturally had more friends.

Time to read books, listen to music, do what a person wants to do, and do what a person can do. She is very grateful to books, which have taught her many things. Isn’t this the greatest experience in human history that can be obtained from books without having to experience it personally?

Is it a great feat? Unknowingly, the act of reading is both her way of isolating the world and her way of connecting with the world. It feels like a satirical story.

So when she saw Maeda Atsuko dancing passionately on the stage, she found that she was deeply moved. That overwhelming sense of presence could be felt even through the TV screen thousands of miles away.

Others. Only then did she understand that while books can gain experience, life experience is also a particularly important part. So she signed up for the selection event in Nogizaka.

Strictly speaking, she does not admire Maeda Atsuko, but she longs for behavior that can radiate her own light and heat without reservation.

That was the first time she wanted to step out of her comfort zone and usher in her own changes. She looked at Nishino Nanase as if she was looking at her past self, but she was better at pretending at that time, using a seemingly

Respond with a calm attitude.

After joining Nogizaka, I experienced rigorous daily training every day, exhausted my body, and truly felt the arrival of happiness because of eating and sleeping. I followed the few books I brought in my suitcase, except for turning a few pages in the first two days.

, then put it on the bedside, and my daily job is to accompany myself to sleep.

The act of reading couldn't be maintained, and the barrier that separated her from the world naturally shattered. Instead, her world became broader.

She was sure this was something to be thankful for.
