44. Shrimp and Pig Heart
Ling trembled as he looked at Shigure Kira, who was singing ecstatically with a KTV microphone in front of her. Her voice was clearly beautiful, but why...
"Hey..." Shigure Kira stuck out her tongue, a little embarrassed, but a hint of loneliness flashed in her eyes.
After all, if you want to become an idol, you inevitably have to perform in this area.
Her direction is not film and television dramas, but she prefers to be a performing idol on stage.
Ling rubbed his head, which was a little dizzy due to Shigure Kira's "sonic attack".
"I think you can try to change the...well, the way of performing," Ling suggested.
"I knew you were going to persuade me...eh?" Shigure Kira was suddenly stunned after hearing Ling's words.
Ling didn't seem to have any intention of persuading her to give up.
"Aren't you going to persuade me to give up?" Shigure Kira asked doubtfully.
Now it was Ling's turn to not quite understand what she was thinking.
"Why should I advise you to give up? Isn't this your dream, Sister Shigure?" Ling tilted his head and looked at Shigure Kira in confusion.
At that moment, Shigure Kira felt as if she had been hit by something.
After all, those who knew that she was tone-deaf never affirmed her dream.
He even once jokingly said he wanted to turn her voice into a "sonic weapon." Even though it was just a joke, it still hurt her a little.
And Ling was the first person to affirm her dream.
"...Don't say things seriously that will make girls' hearts flutter!" Shigure Kira shouted at Ling in shame and anger.
"Huh?" Ling was stunned. What did he say? He just felt that dreams should not be given up easily.
Just like his sister, whose dream is to become the most dazzling idol in the world, Ling asked Eden not to stop her acting career because of him.
He didn't want to become a burden on Eden's dream because of himself.
"Forget it. It seems like you've become a simple fool after losing your memory, although you were a fool before." Shigure Kira sighed.
Ling didn't know how to answer.
"But do you mean that you hope I can become an idol?" Shigure Kira roughly understood Ling's intention.
"Well, although you're tone-deaf, Sister Shigure, you're still very good at dancing. In fact, you can form a group of your own, with you being the lead dancer and someone else being the lead singer."
Ling's words made Shigure Kira's eyes gradually light up. That's right, why didn't she think of the existence of idol groups?
She used to only think about working alone and never thought about asking others for help.
The more Shigure Kira thought about it, the more she felt that there was a way out. Perhaps the dream she had once entrusted to Ling could be realized by herself again.
"Sure enough, coming to find you is the best decision I have ever made!" Shigure Kira hugged Ling's neck affectionately.
"Sister Shigure, you're too close..." Ling put his hand against her face.
"What does it matter? I've watched you grow up anyway." Shigure Kira muttered, but Ling is not young anymore, so it's time for her to...
Shigure Kira looked at the big boy in front of her seriously and felt her heart beating faster.
She coughed lightly, stretched out her hand, and extended an invitation to Ling.
"Ling, are you willing to help me?"
"But my sister won't let me..." Ling was about to refuse.
"This doesn't count as you entering the entertainment industry. You're just my supporter, that's all." Shigure Kira explained.
Ling thought for a moment and nodded.
"If only that were the case..."
"Then it's a deal, we'll let 'Kira Star' shine on the world stage!!!" Shigure Kira shouted with full momentum.
"Yeah, come on."
"Don't use such a dejected tone! Be enthusiastic and shout with me! 'Kira, Kira, Kira Star, twinkle, twinkle little star!'"
"…"
In this way, Shigure Kira began to build her own idol agency, and she began to look for teammates who met her requirements.
Her general idea was to try a three-person group first, so the top priority was to find two teammates, preferably those who were outstanding in singing.
Just two days later, Eden appeared before her.
Eden's eyes were cold, a coldness that seemed to be able to pierce through the bone marrow.
"Shigure Kira, considering that you used to be Xiao Ling's agent, I can forgive you this time. However, I don't want him to get in touch with anything about that person. You should understand what I mean."
Eden, who had always been very kind in front of everyone, actually made Shigure Kira feel a little creepy at this moment.
"Is it true that Ling lost his memory because of A Quan?" Shigure Kira took a deep breath and looked at Eden.
"This has nothing to do with you," Eden said coldly.
"Of course it has something to do with me! Ling is my supporter now." Shigure Kira was not afraid of Eden, even though the other party was a world-class superstar.
Isn't it two shoulders supporting one head?
"I can make him never meet you again." Eden threatened.
"...Is he your puppet? What gives you the right to control him!" Shigure Kira slammed the table and said fiercely.
Shigure Kira's sudden attack caught Eden off guard.
"I've been wondering for a long time why there hasn't been any news about Ling this year."
"Ling, who has lost his memory for a year, should be able to recover a lot if he really starts to integrate into this world again."
"But strangely, he's still like a blank slate when it comes to many things, as if he's never been exposed to anything before. I guess you must have placed some restrictions on him, like limiting his ability to receive information."
"Or... you could just put him under house arrest!"
With every word Shigure Kira said, Eden's face turned paler.
"Senior Eden, I know you want to protect Ling, but have you ever thought that this is what Ling needs?"
"He's a person, a person with independent thinking! He should have his own life, but this life should definitely not be controlled by you, his sister!"
"Or rather, the Ling you love is the Ling who hasn't lost his memory yet, the Ling who would act like a spoiled child in his sister's arms!"
Every word was like a sharp knife piercing Eden's heart.
Elysia and Aponia were very aware of these things, but as friends, all they could do was try their best to guide Eden from going to an irreversible situation.
But Shigure Kira ruthlessly pulled off this fig leaf, revealing the bloody wound underneath.
Lies will not hurt anyone; the truth is the sharpest knife.
"Enough! You don't understand at all!" Eden clenched her fists until her fingers turned white.
"I indeed don't understand, but I know you're only putting Ling in a seemingly flawless environment to satisfy your own selfish desires. You never consider his true thoughts because you've already obliterated his ability to think. He won't think about what he wants, but what you want!"
