Zongman: Kulaixiku, resurrection!

Chapter 146: The historic meeting between Hatsuka Triangle and Shoko Toyokawa

Although he didn't like the so-called century-old tamagoyaki in front of him, Sanjiao Chuhua, who was wearing a shirt with the logo of this old shop as required, still smiled politely, picked up the dish with chopsticks and took a bite.

"Mmm...it's delicious! I feel like all the fatigue and stress have been swept away!"

Trying his best to pretend that he was healed by the overcooked, burnt tamagoyaki with a heavy metal smell of unclean mineral salt, Chu Hua stood up according to the rehearsal steps and bowed deeply to the old bearded shop owner who looked like an honest man.

"Thank you so much for consistently cooking such delicious works of art for me and the people for sixty years. I am so lucky to have such flawless cuisine passed down to us by you!"

For the sake of public health, please change your seasoning supplier. The contents of your salt jar were probably still in the chemical reaction tank of a chemical plant in Fukushima Prefecture half a month ago.

"Click——"

A middle-aged man dressed in a very avant-garde style stood in front of the camera and stopped the filming.

"Ms. Chuhua is very enthusiastic. Thank you for your hard work. Next is Ms. Mana—"

Chu Hua straightened his back as if relieved, wiped the sweat off his face with gratitude, and then bowed slightly to all the staff present.

"thanks everyone."

"Well, Miss Chuhua has worked hard too."

After giving an encouraging look to her partner who was still putting on makeup, Sanjiao Chuhua walked briskly towards the lounge.

My acting just now was probably okay, right? Since Mana didn't know about this beforehand, she'd definitely be fooled by her own performance.

I'm really looking forward to Mana's expression after she eats that chemical product. It should be very exciting... Although I can't see it myself, I hope that later on you will be so kind as to show me the first version of the footage.

Is this the last shoot of the month? The Kawasaki music festival is in five days. I have to find a way to get out of Ms. Saito's sight and ask someone to buy two tickets—the money can't be transferred from my own account, otherwise the agency will definitely find out.

I really want to meet Xiangzi and her new teammates as soon as possible. I need to carefully observe whether these guys who came from nowhere are worthy of entrusting Xiangzi to their care.

Especially the man who calls himself cyeagha... He has a playboy face and plays the violin pretty well, but if I find out that he deceived Xiangzi's feelings...

I can do what the agency can do - try every possible means to destroy and disband their band, criticize that guy named cyeagha so much that he will never be able to turn over a new leaf, and then snatch Xiangzi to my side!

The lounge is not far from the filming site - it is an old two-story building opposite the old Tamagoyaki shop that has been abandoned for a long time but occasionally maintained. From time to time, elementary school students sneak in to play treasure hunt games or something. The program crew simply cleaned it up and it became a rest room for the filming of this program.

The makeup artist had already left, so the entire old building was almost empty—before Sanjiao Chuhua pushed open the half-open door and entered.

Lighting was entirely dependent on a small incandescent lamp, and the only place Chuhua could rest was a small wooden sofa, which was simply covered with a layer of cotton cloth for dust protection.

Chu Hua fell on the sofa somewhat powerlessly, staring at the old cracked ceiling in a trance. The incandescent light was not turned on. If it was turned on, it would have the atmosphere of a horror movie, making it even more difficult to rest.

That time in June was also when I was filming a food show. Back then, I had a soft little bed to lie on, but now...

Forget it, at least the result is good. With his help, Xiangzi has avoided a lot of trouble, and now they have become a new and popular band.

Chu Hua's purple pupils were slightly moist, but he soon became firm in his heart.

"It's worth it—"

dong dong dong-

There was a sudden knock on the door. Chuhua thought it was Miss Saito coming, so she quickly sat up and straightened her clothes to keep them neat.

"Please come in!"

But the door he was looking at was not pushed open, and there was not even the dry creaking sound of the latch when he pushed the door open.

...Did I hear it wrong?

"In the back, Miss Triangle Chuhua."

I'm super, box!

Chu Hua immediately shrank back to the side of the sofa away from the source of the sound, looking nervously at...

"...Hey, cyeagha, and Xiangzi?"

Two figures - Kashiwa Miki, who was leaning against the wall in a very stylish manner, imitating the characters in gangster movies, and Toyokawa Shoko, who was sitting quietly and speechlessly on the stairs with a bit of the demeanor of a young lady.

Because I was going to meet an old friend, I subconsciously brought out the aristocratic style I had before I fell on hard times, Toyokawa Shoko-san.

"Good afternoon. Would you two like to catch up first while I wait for a moment?"

Suddenly realizing that this posture was hurting his waist, Baihe Sanhui quickly changed to a comfortable standing position and gestured to Xiangzi and the somewhat surprised Chuhua.

"That's not necessary, Mr. Cyeagha," Xiangzi said, coughing with a blush, as if he was a little uncomfortable with the feeling he had before. "Time is running out, it won't be too late to reminisce next time."

Classmate Xiangzi, this look of yours makes me feel unfamiliar. You are already a thorough proletarian, so please don't talk to me in an air of superiority.

"Wait..." After seeing that the newcomer was not dangerous, Chu Hua calmed down and seemed to realize something. He asked in confusion, "How did you get in? Isn't there someone watching the door?"

Kashiwa Miki explained in an orderly manner: "Ms. Junda Mana shared her updates this morning, and we found her based on her location."

Xiangzi then added: "After seeing Miss Junda Mana coming out from here, we realized that this was the lounge and that there was no one watching next door, so we went through the building next door... uh, just like that."

Actually, she crawled over. Xiangzi was not flexible enough, so she fell when she was climbing over the balcony. She was covered in dust, and her skirt and white socks were all dirty. There were moss and mud spots on the back of her plain white shirt. That was why she didn't dare to stand up.

"...Then what's the reason why Xiangzi and Cyeagha are willing to sacrifice their dignity to come to me?"

Chuhua also guessed that the two of them had crawled over. At the moment, she had no mood to reminisce about the past. She suddenly felt a little unable to face Xiangzi, who had no resistance to climbing over the wall.

"Two questions, we'll leave after we ask them—"

Baihe Sanhui showed two fingers, and Xiangzi followed suit and showed two fingers that were originally white and tender but were now completely gray.

"First, why has our band's popularity suddenly skyrocketed? Does Miss Chuhua have any idea?"

Hearing this question, Chu Hua answered with a guilty conscience and a little pride: "I reposted Xiangzi's video on Sumimi's official channel... Well, actually, I did this occasionally before, so -"

"Second question," Baihe Sanhui interrupted Chuhua directly, gestured to Xiangzi, whose expression had become a little complicated, and took over the conversation and asked:

"Chu Hua, those navy troops and the like...are they related to you?"

Hearing this, Sanjiao Chuhua fell silent. They were all silent for a while, and then Sanjiao Chuhua replied with a hint of apology:

"I...I was informed of this by my agent. I had no idea it would turn out this way."

……

Junda Mana pushed open the door of the lounge angrily, and started to vent her anger at her good partner who was sitting on the sofa with her knees hugged and in a daze.

"Chuhua, you could have warned me that thing wasn't tasty at all! I couldn't control myself and vomited, and got scolded. I took seven takes before I finally passed..."

Chu Hua was completely oblivious to her good partner's endless complaints. All she could hear was the words Xiangzi left behind when he returned the same way. They didn't sound like they contained any blame, but they made Chu Hua very upset.

"Chuhua...when the time comes, we shouldn't meet in Kawasaki, right?"

"I know I can't control your schedule, but... I'm a little angry with you now."

"I don't mean to blame Chuhua... Just let me calm down for a while."
