Chapter 890
"No,"
dry and decisive,
leaving Isshiki Iroha with no choice but to give up.
Inside the Service Club, the four of them eat their bento.
A peaceful daily life,
Yukinoshita Yukino watches Lin Ye eat the last grain of rice in the bento box, and her mood improves even more.
And Isshiki Iroha eats the fastest; she is already browsing the trending news on her phone.
"Wow!"
An exclamation rings out.
Isshiki Iroha looks at the news on her phone screen, her expression excited.
"Sakurajima Mai-san has come forward!"
"She has already come forward to explain her current situation; so amazing, she didn't choose to ignore it and wait for the heat to fade, but came forward to explain now; how much courage must that take."
"At the press conference, I hope there won't be any fan riots."
Saying that,
Isshiki Iroha clicks the link.
It is a video of the press conference held by Sakurajima Mai's agency, and Sakurajima Mai is sitting on the stage, her expression calm and natural; facing the fans below the stage, she shows no stage fright or fear, but rather a confident and composed appearance.
"Senior, you're curious too, right!"
Isshiki Iroha notices the gaze Lin Ye cast over.
"Since senior is curious, I'll be merciful and share it with you,"
Yuigahama Yui is also very curious and leans over too.
They all have phones, but compared to searching for related news themselves, it's better to just watch directly.
Yukinoshita Yukino, sitting on the other side, is actually also very curious and wants to watch the video, but her own style of conduct dictates that she cannot take the initiative to lean over.
And Isshiki Iroha turns on the speaker, "Yukinoshita-senpai, I'm going to turn on the speaker volume, is that okay?"
She asks for Yukinoshita's opinion.
To this, Yukinoshita Yukino nods directly to indicate acceptance.
"Thank you, thank you, Yukinoshita-senpai is so nice."
Saying that,
Isshiki Iroha plays the video.
This is an edited video; the live broadcast has already passed.
The explanation from the agency's person in charge at the beginning is very simple.
The key is still handed over to Sakurajima Mai.
For the agency, how Sakurajima Mai can calm her public opinion, win back the fans she might lose, and retain her qualifications in the entertainment industry is the key.
Japanese actors, especially young actresses, shouldn't have scandalous news, but this time Sakurajima Mai's Akihabara confession incident happened suddenly; let alone the agency and fans, even Sakurajima Mai herself only knew about Lin Ye's plan a little while in advance.
She actually didn't hold the idea of success at the time; she just wanted to cooperate with Lin Ye.
But the result,
Lin Ye succeeded, and her acting career also began to face the biggest challenge from fans and public opinion.
If she fails,
her acting career and entertainment life will end right here.
Looking at the familiar girl in the video, Lin Ye believes she can handle it properly, but as a boyfriend, he still inevitably feels a touch of worry.
If Mai fails, he will help.
At worst, hypnosis.
Hypnotize the whole world, hahaha, although this is exaggerated, Lin Ye feels that maybe it can be done!
Yukinoshita Yukino concentrates on listening to the sound from the phone screen she cannot see, while her eyes fall on Lin Ye's cheek, observing Lin Ye's reaction.
Deep in her heart, she is very concerned about Lin Ye's attitude and mood toward Sakurajima Mai at this moment.
The phone rings with Sakurajima Mai's sweet voice.
She stands up and bows to everyone below the stage, expressing her politeness and respect.
"Thank you to all the fans who came to the scene, media friends, and also thank you to all the numerous fans who have always supported me; I... really thank everyone for their support of me, Sakurajima Mai,"
"Without everyone's support, there wouldn't be me today,"
A standard opening statement,
but Sakurajima Mai's words are sincere, and her posture is appropriate, making people feel her sincerity.
"Today, I will explain what happened in Akihabara the night before yesterday,"
This is what the people below the stage and the numerous fans and curious onlookers watching the video want to know most.
Sakurajima Mai's Akihabara confession incident this time can be said to have brought Sakurajima Mai's traffic and reputation to a higher level; if she can properly resolve this public relations crisis, it can be said that 'Sakurajima Mai', this young female star, will become a first-class star in the true sense.
But if she fails, she will sadly withdraw from the stage and become a fallen new star in the entertainment world.
Many people will feel regret.
"There are many speculations on the internet, among which it is mentioned that it was a scene filming for my new movie,"
"There are also netizens who say that I am deliberately hyping it up to gain traffic,"
"There are many speculations, many associations, I won't elaborate on them one by one here."
"What I want to say is that it wasn't acting, nor was it to gain traffic, but it was real,"
"I accepted his confession, became his girlfriend, we... are officially dating."
A single sentence,
completely leaves everyone below the stage in silence; the expectant eyes turn into astonishment.
No one on the scene expected Sakurajima Mai to be so decisive, not looking for any excuses or reasons, first defining the Akihabara confession incident and confirming the facts.
This makes numerous speculations and analyses turn into nothingness.
'Swish!'
A reporter raises their hand,
"Please speak,"
"Miss Sakurajima Mai, aren't you worried that your romance will affect your acting career?"
Actually, this is a subtle reminder of the unspoken rules of the Japanese entertainment industry; it is very difficult for young stars who officially announce they are dating, as they will lose a large number of fans.
"Worried, but liking someone means liking them, and dating means dating; if I miss him, I will regret it for the rest of my life."
Regret it for the rest of her life?
One stone stirs up a thousand waves,
especially the men, who open their eyes wide, their hearts inevitably running wild, wondering what charm that man has to be worth Sakurajima Mai's description.
They recall some of the man's situation and performance during the Akihabara incident.
Although the man was handsome, very sincere, and had a heart of true sincerity toward Sakurajima Mai, these conditions combined still shouldn't be enough for Sakurajima Mai to say 'I will regret it for the rest of my life', right!
They find it hard to accept.
"Miss Sakurajima, what is good about him? I think our audience on the scene, the countless audience in front of the camera, are all very curious; can you share it with us?"
A reporter asks what everyone wants to know.
"I encountered a matter, a matter of being at a low point in life; I was unable to walk out of it alone and could only wander alone; I longed to successfully escape and return to my original life, but I failed,"
Sakurajima Mai naturally doesn't explicitly state that she encountered an anomaly that caused her presence to be ignored by everyone.
And in the eyes of the audience, it is that Sakurajima Mai encountered a major problem in life, perhaps in life, perhaps in the workplace.
"When I was about to give up, when I was about to be completely desperate, he appeared,"
"He appeared before me, provided help, and tried every way to solve the problem I encountered,"
"Finally, the problem was solved,"
"I returned to my current life and am full of hope and passion for the future,"
"Facing such a boy who reached out to help me when I was in a desperate situation, I... how could I refuse his confession!"
"I like him; I like him more than any other girl in the world."
At this moment, Sakurajima Mai's eyes are filled with love and a palpitating expression. ===== CHAPTER 891 =====
