Makimura Taku echoed, “That’s right, anyone could be a couple, except you and me.”

“why?”

“How can someone match others up every day and end up getting himself involved?”

“Hahaha, that’s true.”

Makimura Taku thought for a moment and asked her, “Are you in love with me too?”

He just wanted to tease this person, but he didn’t expect Honma Lan to not reply for a long time.

Is this guy serious? he thought.

Originally, whether he quickly admitted it or quickly denied it, Makimura Taku would not take it seriously.

But this hesitant and wavering attitude made Makimura Taku feel uncomfortable.

“I surrender, please don’t be silent.”

“I like it.” She said suddenly.

Because the two were chatting on Line, Makimura Taku couldn’t tell whether it was a lie or not.

“…Then what do you like about me?”

“I like the way you are easily fooled, hahahaha.”

“I’m sorry, I should have thought of that sooner.”

“Let’s continue to work hard with Xiao Ai in the forest activities next week~”

After sending this message, Honma Ai stuffed her phone under her pillow and turned off the bedside lamp.

The moonlight flowed in from outside the fence like flowing water, making the floor and bed the same color.

The heat of late summer has not yet faded, and the sound of insects leaks into the house through the bushes.

No matter what, I have already decided to support you, so I will never have such thoughts. Honma Ai slowly closed her eyes.

A few days later, the second week of shooting in the forest arrived as scheduled.

Taking advantage of the good sunshine, the program crew drove a group of people to the mountains far away from the city.

“We’ll be shooting here for the next two weeks.”

After a few simple camera positions were set up, a staff member who looked like a tour guide said to the actors:

“Before arranging other tasks and activities, we will first draw lots to decide who will be grouped into two groups.”

“Wait!” Someone in the crowd shrieked, “Draw lots?!”

Several men and women who had just gotten off the bus stopped looking around and all looked towards Xiaocangyou Hope.

“Yes.” The person in charge turned to the one who was speaking, Ogura Tomoki, and explained, “Someone will bring the prepared wooden sticks over in a while. The boys and girls who draw the same number will form a pair team to carry out the activity in this forest.”

Ogura Tomoki waved his hands several times: “No, no, it should be a free choice, right? If I get drawn…”

The person in charge laughed and interrupted her: “Of course we have to draw lots. If we choose freely, there will be no suspense at all. The audience doesn’t like to watch this.”

“That’s what I said…”

“Mr. Yanagida,” a man wearing glasses stepped forward and interrupted them, “The props you asked for have been brought here.”

“Oh, thank you.” The person in charge, called Yanagida, raised his hand and called out to the ten actors, “Everyone, we will draw lots to decide who will be your partners for the next two weeks of forest activities. Please come over to me.”

“Yes!~”

The sound of scattered footsteps gathered together, and then everyone gathered together to draw lots.

“Girls first.”

Five girls entered the inner circle.

Hoshino Ai glanced in the direction of Makimura Taku, as if to confirm that he was still standing behind her.

Tomoki Ogura’s eyes were fixed on the five skewers in front of him, as if he wanted to eat them raw as if they were chocolate bars.

Honma Lan looked at Hoshino Ai with a smile.

Hayasaka Yuu and Makimura Taku stood together, both of them looking casually at the group of girls.

When every girl has received her own wooden stick, it is the boys’ turn.

The moment Makimura Taku took the last stick, several gazes suddenly came from all directions.

It was okay for just Hoshino Ai and Ogura Tomoki, but even Hayasaka Yuu and several other boys looked over at the same time.

“What number?” someone asked him.

Makimura Taku confirmed: “Three.”

“Tsk.” A strange smacking sound came from the side.

“It doesn’t look like Miss Ogura.” Hayasaka Yuu laughed and held up the sign in his hand, “I’m number five. Which of you girls has the same number as me?”

“Is Hayasaka-kun number five?”

“What a shame, I’m number four.”

The girls were talking among themselves when Ogura Tomoki’s face suddenly darkened under the shade of the tree.

“It looks like it’s Miss Ogura.” Hayasaka Yuu immediately said with a smile when he saw her expression.

Ogura Yuki shouted at him angrily: “Why you?”

“It’s okay, right?” Hayasaka Yu shrugged slightly and said faintly, “Except for Makimura, you and I have a higher CP value than anyone else. Since so many people are optimistic about us online, it means that we have been a good match so far. In other words, you can use me as a lower-level substitute for Makimura. After all, we are both male, right?”

He laughed again, as if at himself.

Such words may sound a bit self-deprecating and may even disgust others, but he doesn’t really care. As long as Ogura Tomoki doesn’t feel so sad, that’s enough.

He didn’t like Ogura Yuki to the point of self-abuse, but sometimes he would suddenly feel sorry for her.

“Forget it,” Ogura Yuki exhaled, turned around and went to the bathroom alone. Before leaving, he turned back to Hayasaka Yu and said, “Well, although I’m not interested in you, please don’t say such things next time. What do you mean by a lower-ranking substitute? You are you, and Makimura is Makimura. Saying such self-abuse words is really disgusting, so disgusting!”

“is it?”

“Yes.” She walked away without looking back, her legs moving faster than anyone else, her light yellow skirt lifted up, leaving only a receding back.

She didn’t want to explain further, or rather, she was a little afraid to continue arguing about this issue.

From the beginning to the end, she kept comparing herself with Hoshino Ai.

Lower-ranking replacement? Didn’t she always think of herself as a weaker version of Hoshino Ai?

If it weren’t for Hoshino Ai, she might have been with Makimura Taku, but in reality, she herself is the dispensable one.

“It’s so annoying.” She muttered to herself as she went into the woods.

At the original place, several boys were holding their signature signs and looking for future partners.

Makimura Taku glanced around, and Hoshino Ai was looking at him quietly from a few meters away.

The girl glanced at the serial number in her hand again, and swallowed nervously as if she was afraid of being discovered, then slowly walked towards Makimura Taku.

“I’m number five too.” She seemed a little shy, and carefully showed the wooden stick in her hand, “We should be partners, huh.”

The early morning sun shone through the shadows, and the girl’s soft body seemed to be coated with a layer of silvery light.

Makimura Taku looked at her with amusement: “Not really.”

“what?”

“Are you shy?”

Hoshino Ai hugged her face, which was indeed a little hot: “That’s because…well, nothing.”

She really couldn’t say it. Ever since the first episode of “Current Love” was broadcast, she had been looking for various edited videos on the Internet to watch all night long.

I originally wanted to correct my shortcomings through self-searching and show a better side to the audience.

Unexpectedly, all she found were slices of sweet love with Taku Makimura. She even forgot what happened in many scenes.

While watching it, her mind was filled with thoughts like “Have I ever done something like this?”, “Is this part also edited in?”, “This close-up of the smile is too unfair!”, “This is a completely fabricated video, right?!!!” As a result, she felt a long-lost sense of discomfort when she saw Makimura Taku’s face again.

“If you don’t want to talk about it, forget it.” Makimura Taku acted uninterested.

“I can’t say it.” Hoshino Ai looked at him with tears in her eyes.

Hayasaka Yuu, who had returned to the crowd, approached the two and clapped his hands while saying, “That’s great, both of you got what you wanted. That’s great, great things.”

“Ahem.” The blush on Hoshino Ai’s face had not yet faded, so she found an excuse to slip away, “Sorry, I’m going to the bathroom.”

Not long after she left, Honma Lan appeared out of nowhere, rushed to Makimura Taku and asked:

“How is it? What’s your number? What’s Xiao Ai’s number?”

“Don’t worry, they are partners.” Hayasaka spoke first.

After spending some time together, Hayasaka Yu had already figured out what this guy was thinking.

If Honma Ai was only intent on bringing together Makimura Taku and Hoshino Ai, then Hayasaka Yuu hoped that the losing party would fail more gently, whether it was Ogura Tomoki or Hoshino Ai.

“Really? That’s great!” Honma Lan patted his chest in relief, “Ah~ After hearing this news, I basically have no regrets in death.”

“You’re talking too scary, aren’t you?”

“Haha, it’s exaggerated but it’s all true!”

“I admire you a little bit.”

Lunch time passed and everyone spent a relatively leisurely afternoon.

Around five o’clock in the evening, Taku Makimura was listening to music under the shade of a tree.

Hoshino Ai walked over from a distance, as if it was a day long ago, and sat down quietly on the hay beside him.
