Tokyo: The story begins with a confession.

Page 147

On August 8th, Uesugi Ken woke up very early because he had gone to bed very early the night before, and because of that, he couldn't fall asleep.

I tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

Thankfully, after lying there for a while, I finally fell asleep.

When Uesugi Kenichi woke up, he had set his alarm for half an hour earlier than usual, so he had plenty of time to prepare.

Kenichi Uesugi was lying in bed.

He yawned several times in a row, then lay there, not wanting to get up. He was very sleepy and really wanted to stay lying there forever.

However, I lay there for a few minutes, less than ten minutes.

Kenichi Uesugi picked up his phone, checked the time, and decided it was about time, so he got up. To be honest, he really didn't want to get up.

After getting up, Uesugi Kenichi began to tidy up and prepare.

He has to go back to school today to participate in the Koshien opening ceremony, so he can't be late.

After tidying up, Uesugi Ken rushed downstairs.

When he came to the table to eat breakfast, it was so early that Ram and Rem, who didn't have to go to class, were still asleep.

Only Mom and Dad got up.

Regarding Kenichi Uesugi, his mother gave him some instructions.

"You're going back to school today, be careful on your way."

Upon hearing this, Uesugi Ken nodded in agreement.

"Ah."

After a quick breakfast, Kenichi Uesugi went to school. It was his first day back at school, as there were many of his fans there.

However, they are in different classes.

If they were in the same class, the pursuit of Kenichi Uesugi wouldn't be as intense, because there would always be opportunities to spend time with him.

Kenichi Uesugi dreads the moment he steps into the school.

Fortunately, he left in a hurry and got into the classroom as quickly as possible, so he didn't have any troubles along the way.

When he returned to the classroom, Kenichi Uesugi had no more worries.

Soon, the Koshien tournament began.

Kenichi Uesugi is playing.

As someone who is different from ordinary people, he naturally receives constant attention during the competition, and even puts a lot of pressure on Uesugi Kenichi.

It was as if he could only be number one.

It would be very embarrassing if he didn't come in first place, because everyone had such high expectations of him.

This put a lot of pressure on Kenichi Uesugi.

Some students even took photos with their phones, and Uesugi Kenichi didn't know if they were live-streaming or just taking pictures.

He was solely focused on the Koshien tournament.

There's simply no time to worry about anything else.

He was very focused throughout the day, and Uesugi Kenichi was under a lot of pressure, so he was also very tired.

When the competition ended, Uesugi Kenichi indeed deservedly took first place.

But at that moment, all he wanted was to go home as soon as possible and get some rest, rather than endure the aftermath of his classmates taking pictures with their phones and bombarding him with questions like they were being interviewed.

Kenichi Uesugi gave a hasty reply, and then made an excuse to leave.

I finally made it home.

When his mother saw him return, she noticed that a whole day had passed and it was already evening. She asked him what was wrong.

"How did it go? Did you win first place at the Koshien tournament?"

It seems his family also had high hopes for him to get first place. And thankfully, he played very seriously and diligently throughout the match.

So, he lived up to expectations and won first place.

"Uesugi Kenichi said."

"Yeah, I got first place, but I'm so tired. I need to rest now. Mom, I'm going upstairs to take a nap. Wake me up when dinner is ready."

Upon hearing his words, Uesugi Reika immediately agreed.

"Okay, you can go upstairs to sleep now."

Kenichi Uesugi returned to his room, lay down, and while he was comfortably lying there, he checked his phone again.

Sure enough, the internet was flooded with reports about him playing in the Koshien tournament today.

And those who provided this information were none other than their classmates.

He remained at the school.

It's a closed campus, so people from outside can't get in, and those people on the internet can't get any information from it. The only information they get is from their own group of good classmates.

Sure enough, Uesugi Kenichi was looking at some of the videos he had recorded.

Those classmates were actually recording a video.

He was speechless about this, but Uesugi Kenichi didn't feel anything either; he had already gotten used to this lifestyle.

Whatever I do, I get noticed.

No matter what you do, you have to be number one. If you don't get number one, you'll let everyone down.

The pressure caused by this environment is quite significant.

Especially the point about taking first place.

Although Kenichi Uesugi believed himself to be very capable, he felt that he was much smarter than the average person.

However, he is not a complete superhuman.

His first-place finishes required him to concentrate fully and fight for every second.

Therefore, Kenichi Uesugi felt that he was struggling to maintain his position.

Every time he won first place, he felt completely exhausted. He was always so tired, but what others saw was not his exhaustion, but his achievements, his glory, and his ranking.

Kenichi Uesugi was a little depressed.

The thought of having to be number one every time made him feel immense pressure, almost crushing him.

Kenichi Uesugi was really tired, and he was feeling drowsy and wanted to fall asleep.

Unexpectedly, Ram and Rem pushed the door open and came in. After seeing Uesugi Kenichi, they walked over.

"Qianyi, you're back?"

Upon hearing this, Uesugi Kenji looked over and, seeing that it was them, responded.

"Hmm, how did you get in?"

The two came to the bedside and looked at Uesugi Kenichi and asked.

"You won first place in the competition? It's all reported online."

Kenichi Uesugi was a little frustrated by this, as his updates were constantly being posted online, and because of this, he really felt a lot of pressure.

There's not much to say about the good aspects.

But if she is pregnant, that's not good.

For example, regarding the issue of smoking, many boys his age, including Kenichi Uesugi, have seen their classmates smoke.

But he believed that those classmates were fine.

Female classmates wouldn't say anything if they saw it, but if it were him, and the photo was posted online, it would definitely spark a backlash.

Therefore, Kenichi Uesugi needs to be mindful of his words and actions at all times.

He felt like he was a finished product constantly living under the dream packaging of these people, with no freedom and no personal space of his own.

Kenichi Uesugi looked at Ram and Rem.

"Yes, I got first place, but I'm so tired, I need to rest now."

Upon seeing this, Ram and Rem spoke to Uesugi Kenichi.

"If you're tired, you should rest. We won't bother you any longer."

Kenjiro Uesugi nodded in agreement.

"it is good."

Then, Ram and Rem went out. Uesugi Kenichi was very fortunate to have someone who understood him; otherwise, if he didn't receive any understanding when he got home, he would have really broken down.

After Ram and Rem left, Uesugi Kenichi turned his gaze away.

He stared at the ceiling, drifted off to sleep, and then drifted off again.

Chapter 274 Tired

After a long day, Uesugi Kenichi went home and didn't want to go out again except to rest, because he was really tired.

Moreover, individuals feel they have the time to showcase themselves.

After that energy was used up, he just wanted to rest for the rest of the day, because if he wanted to perform, there would be other platforms to perform on the next day.

That's how it is with everything; once you have something suitable to satisfy, you no longer need it.

On the contrary, forcing it in will only make people feel disgusted.

Kenichi Uesugi also enjoys being the center of attention.

But if you're constantly being watched by fans and filmed all day long, you won't even have any personal time.

Then, Kenichi Uesugi would feel very tired.

He lives entirely under the spotlight, a puppet created to be performed by others, with no personal space of his own.

Those so-called fans.

They can't live like this themselves, so they hope to collectively create such a puppet to replace them in terms of mindset and live like this.
