"Is that true..." Sakai Izumizu said with a little regret.

Although Ye Zhao's feelings were not keen, he was definitely not slow. He immediately realized the regret in her voice. After thinking about it, he asked her tentatively: "Can Sister Quanshui want to meet me now?"

As soon as he said that, he felt that this question was a little frivolous, and wanted to apologize to her by saying "I'm rude", but he felt that doing so would be too deliberate. When he was embarrassed, a gentle voice came from the other end of the phone: "Yes."

"Eh?" This time he changed from embarrassment to surprise.

"Actually, I originally thought that if Ye Jun was convenient, I would invite you out for a cup of coffee." Sakai Izumizu could not know what he was thinking just now, so she continued to talk to herself quite frankly. "However, while dialing the phone, I realized that it was a little late. Because I am the type of day and night, I will occasionally do such inappropriate things."

Speaking of this, she smiled a little.

"If I were in Tokyo now, I would definitely go to have coffee with Sister Quanshui without saying a word." Ye Zhao breathed a sigh of relief and leaned against the wall of the building. "I haven't seen Sister Quanshui for a long time. Even if I 'assisted the evildoer', I will definitely go."

"Assisting the evil and abusing..." Sakai Izumi was amused by this sentence, "This is too exaggerated." Without Ye Zhao's explanation, she immediately understood the implicit meaning in his words.

The reason why I am particularly relaxed when I get along with Sakai Insumi is probably because there is no need to explain anything, right?

Ye Zhao thought, and said, "But now, I can't even catch up with the last Shinkansen to Tokyo. Moreover, I will be on stage for a performance soon, so it seems that this cup of coffee can only be put back."

"Play on stage?" Sakai Izumizu was attracted by these words.

"Yes, this friend of mine in Kyoto is now running a club. When I came here, I made a little agreement with him. After today's performance, I will perform on stage as a 'surprise guest' for a while." Ye Zhao explained.

"It's so good." Sakai Izumi showed a little fascination.

"I watched it for a while in the audience just now. The club's audience was really good and very supportive." Ye Zhao said this and talked about his concerns about Sakai Izumizu. "It is because everyone is so good that I feel a little uneasy when I think about going on stage later. I am afraid that the performance will not be good enough and will disappoint everyone."

"About this, Ye Jun just needs to do his best to perform. I think everyone in the audience will definitely feel Ye Jun's sincerity." Sakai Izumizu gently encouraged her and asked, "Is it okay to leave the performance now?"

Ye Zhao looked at his watch and it was less than twenty minutes before the performance began. Although there were still many topics to talk to her, time was tight, so he had to end the topic. "It's almost time to prepare to go on stage." He did not forget to thank Sizumi Sakai, "Thanks to Sister Sizumi reminded me, otherwise it would be a 'performance accident'."

"I've been holding you to chat." Sakai Izumizu made a joke in a good mood, "So, if you cause a 'performance accident', you will have to go with Ye Jun to apologize to your friends."

"If you say so, Sister Quanshui's reminder is what it is called 'helping others is helping yourself'?" Ye Zhao responded to her joke while walking into the building.

“That’s exactly that.”

"Then... let's hang up the phone first?" Ye Zhao said, "As for that cup of coffee, although it's a little late, you should still count it?"

"Well..." Sakai Izumizu seemed to have confirmed her itinerary, and after about three or five seconds, he replied: "If you want to go tomorrow, Ye Jun will be able to return to Tokyo, right?"

"I'm sure to go back and I'll be able to arrive in Tokyo at about 10 o'clock in the morning."

“What about the work itinerary?”

"There is an exclusive interview with a magazine in the afternoon, but it can definitely be finished before five o'clock. After that, although there have been a few bits of work in the past two or three days, it is not very busy." Ye Zhao recalled his itinerary.

"Then, what about nine o'clock tomorrow night?" Speaking of this, she added, "With this time, you won't let Ye Jun 'assist the evil', right?"

After being teased by Sakai Izumizu, Ye Zhao immediately smiled brightly, "No."

...

Hang up the phone and return to the background.

"I've been waiting for a long time." Ye Zhao apologized to Watanabe Riki.

Watanabe Riki smiled gently, "Is it a work matter?"

"That's not." Ye Zhao explained a few briefly, "It's a friend who went overseas before and has just returned recently, so he chatted for a while."

"That's good. If you leave you in Kyoto like this, I will be disappointed if you delay your work."

"Don't worry, that kind of thing that can cause trouble for everyone will not happen."

Watanabe Riki took off a Martin hanging on the wall, "Is this one possible?"

"Very good." Ye Zhao took the guitar over and sat down on the sofa. While debugging the guitar, he confirmed: "It's almost time for me to play, right?"

"I have already greeted the audience in advance and said that there are guests performing a special performance today." Watanabe Riki looked at his watch, "Now, let's go and wait."

After debugging the guitar, Ye Zhao habitually rubbed the strings with his palm, held the neck and got up from the sofa, nodded, "Let's go."

"By the way, I've already decided what to sing?" As he walked out, Ruo Watanabe asked.

"Of course this." Ye Zhao was confident.

...

The last group of singers retreated from the venue. When they met in the corridor, the musicians greeted him with gestures very kindness, and Ye Zhao also gave them one by one.

"It's OK." Watanabe Riki sent him the order to take the stage.

Ye Zhao nodded, unfolded his strap, hung the guitar on his body, and walked towards the small stage.

The moment he appeared, the audience was guessing who was the guest who suddenly appeared today. When they saw him, the reaction was not so much a surprise, but rather a shock.

No one would associate the popular singer who had just finished his concert in Osaka yesterday with Kyoto, a small club that can accommodate only 200 people. However, after a brief commotion, cheers gradually sounded, like waves, pouring towards the stage one after another.

Standing in front of the upright microphone, Ye Zhao greeted the audience: "Good evening, I'm Ye Zhao."

"Oh--" The thing that I was a little worried about before was rejected by the audience who came to support the underground band did not happen. Just like welcoming every group of singers and bands who appeared before, the audience cheered for the audience.

"The boss here, Sang Watanabe, is my friend. He was taken care of by him in his underground era before his debut. He held a concert in Osaka before, and came here to disturb him after the end... So, although it was a bit presumptuous, can I let me sing a song for a while?" With the experience of several previous concerts, Ye Zhao interacted with the audience calmly.

"Of course!" The club is full of stands, and there is only a short distance between the stage and the audience in the first row. The audience's earring style, the necklaces they wear, and the expressions on their faces, are all in sight.

Of course, even the sincere welcome on the audience's faces can be clearly seen. No wonder many musicians, even if they can support large venues, still love small concerts, and even hold LIVE HOUSE tours. If you just want to enjoy music, you can no longer feel the enthusiasm from the audience more deeply than this close interaction.

Because it was a bit late, Ye Zhao didn't sing for a long time, but only sang three songs, and the instrument was only a casino guitar in his hand. This was the last time when "WINTER, AGAIN" started to promote the promotion of "WINTER, AGAIN" since the Snow Country.

The first song is "Secret Base". The songs that are included in the singles as C/W songs will be rarely sung in the future. If the B-side music selection was not specially released, there would be almost no chance of being included in the album. Therefore, being able to be sung at this moment is definitely an unexpected surprise for the audience.

The second song, Ye Zhao, did not sing his own song, but covered "Sunny Down" from Blue Heart Band. If he sang songs from other singers at a concert or other public occasions, he not only needed to obtain the consent of the singer's record company, but also had to pay the cover fee for the musical association.

However, if it is in such a private performance, it is a tacit thing that heaven knows the earth knows the singer knows the audience knows.

After singing the two songs, Ye Zhao interacted with the audience for a little while, "Is the performance just now okay?"

After pausing for a moment, he slowly said, "The next one is the last song." Facing the audience's somewhat disappointed voice of "hey--" he smiled: "It's already taking up everyone's precious time, so let's just stop here, and if you have the chance to continue in the future?"

As he said that, he no longer responded to the audience's reaction and reported the name of the last song: "... The previous concert was arranged in the last song "FLY". Today, it is also arranged as usual. Is it OK?"

Ye Zhao raised his right hand holding the pick, "Then please listen to the last "FLY".

After the final "FLY" was sung, after saying "Good night! Be careful on the road!", Ye Zhao stepped down from the stage and returned to the backstage.

Watanabe Riki took the guitar from him, "It performed really well. He didn't feel that strong during the concert. Looking at it up close, guitar skills and singing skills have both risen to a big step compared to the past."

"No matter what, I've listened to the relevant professional courses carefully." Ye Zhao said with a smile.

"Today's arrangements are still too hasty, otherwise, I really want to see how good your bass skills are." Watanabe Lu Xiaoxiao regretted.

"There are still many opportunities in the future." Ye Zhao replied easily, "Before coming here next time, let's make an appointment with Brother Watanabe in advance. Then we will rehearse and sing on stage together. I will serve as the bass, Brother Watanabe will play the guitar. How about it?"

"In that case, I have to practice the guitar well during this period so as not to hold back." Watanabe Lu smiled. His guitar level is probably similar to Ye Zhao's bass level.

"The same is true for me. If I don't practice well, I will become a party for amateur players at that time."

...

After the club ended, Ye Zhao planned to stay in a hotel outside, but Watanabe insisted on inviting him, and finally followed him home.

Before Naoko Asakura had fallen asleep, she turned to the kitchen after entering the reception room, and soon brought in red wine and a small plate of cheese. Of course, there were only two wine glasses.

Ye Zhao thanked him and had a drink with Watanabe Ryu. During this period, Naoko Asakura packed out the first floor guest room and came over to tell him that the new towel and toothbrush was ready.

"So, good night." After preparing these, she went back to the bedroom first.

The next morning, after breakfast at Watanabe's house, Watanabe sent him to Kyoto Station.

"So, see you next time." He took the suitcase out of the trunk and said goodbye to him.

"Next time, it's your wedding, right?"

"I remember it's quite clear."

"Of course." Ye Zhao smiled and waved goodbye to him.

...

At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the exclusive interview and shooting of the music magazine "PATi·PATi" was held in the studio in Du. In addition to taking photos on the spot, the magazine also received additional photos of the previous concert in Osaka. During the shooting interval, Ye Shoah magazine reporters completed the visit in the lounge next to them.

This interview was a little longer, not only involving his musical trends, his mood as a producer, and his feelings for holding a concert for the first time, but also asked a few additional questions about his personal life.

The interview and shooting ended at 5:20 in the afternoon, a little later than expected. After leaving the studio and returning to the car, Ye Zhao said relaxedly: "...the questions raised are really bad. For example, if you plan to have a few children, will you let the children become singers in the future? I don't know what kind of readers will be interested in this kind of thing."

"I think there are many more people who are interested in this kind of thing than those who are not." Umemura Yuki said with a smile. "Although the works are the most important for singers and actors, the edges of this kind are the seasonings that make the meat more delicious."

"It sounds like I'm going to be eaten alive." Ye Zhao also smiled.

“Where are you going next?”

"Put me at Shinbashi Station, and the next time is free time."

In Shinbashi, before Ye Zhao got off the car, Yuki Uemura said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Please cherish your feathers and don't do things that will be paid attention to by reporters."
