.......

Nagayama Naoki has walked the road to Qinglai before, so it is not unfamiliar now.

Driving a Toyota Century to show his formality, Naoki Nagayama took Akina Nakamori to Qinglai’s hometown in the morning... to meet his parents~

In April in Tokyo, cherry blossoms are in full bloom everywhere. The petals falling in the wind fall into the water, and the spring scenery is seen on both sides of the river.

The pink petals are tender and white, just like the cheeks of the girl in the passenger seat, which is endearing~

"Naoki-san, are you nervous?" Akina Nakamori turned her cheek and asked her boyfriend with a smile.

"...a little bit~" Nagayama Naoki looked serious, "After all, it is a very official visit~"

"Don't you feel like your heart is racing and your head is sweating?"

Akina Nakamori didn't believe it, and she even reached out to her boyfriend's forehead. She pouted in disappointment after finding no trace of sweat.

"Eh~~ You're really not nervous..."

Nagayama Naoki was helpless: "Akina can't just because she was so nervous that she was shaking when she went to my house, she wants me to do the same!"

"...Don't say it!"

Akina stretched out her hand and covered Nagayama Naoki's mouth.

"At that time, I just didn't eat in the morning and had some hypoglycemia shaking!!!"

"..."

In fact, everyone who is familiar with Akina knows that although Akina usually looks cheerful and confident, she is a coward at heart. Although she is a top idol singer, her hands will shake before she goes on stage to sing!

However, after this guy took the stage, he was able to fully devote himself to giving a perfect performance... The reason for this situation has always been an unsolved mystery...

You can't fight in the car. After Akina retracted her hand, she started to mutter again:

"Besides father, Mingsui is also here today..."

"Huh?" Nagayama Naoki was subconsciously surprised, "Doesn't that mean we need to prepare another gift..."

"No need~" Nakamori Akina explained, "...just give it to father and mother~"

"That's it~" It seems like this in Neon...

"Besides Akiho...is there anyone else at home?" Nagayama Naoki continued to ask.

"No more...they are all married...moved out~"

Akina Nakamori replied, if for no other reason, young people in this era, especially those in rural areas, generally get married very early.

"That's good~"

Nagayama Naoki is most afraid of five brothers and sisters, parents and grandma, and eight pairs of eyes looking at him alone!

Oh, if you include Akina herself, it will be nine pairs...wait a minute, if you add her nephew, it will be ten pairs!

What a huge family indeed!!!

As the car moves forward, the houses on both sides of the car window begin to become old, mostly made of wood, without the rigidity of reinforced concrete, the streets are no longer cement roads, and you can even occasionally see traces of livestock...

Qinglai City is one of the satellite cities of Tokyo. It is said to be a city, but more like a town.

When Akina arrived, she was sitting aside, looking at the scene outside the window, and her mood became lively.

"Naoki-san, I used to come here to buy groceries!" "Naoki-san, it was the place we came to shoot last time!" "Ah, I haven't eaten dim sum from this place for a long time!"

Naoki Nagayama didn't stop until he reached a house with a flag flying.

As the Toyota Century slowly stopped at the door, Akina Nakamori also took a deep breath:

"arrive...."

"Well, let's go in then!"

Nagayama Naoki got out of the car, took the gift from the trunk, and then looked at the flag next to the house with some curiosity...

"Mingna, I've wanted to ask before, why is the flag always hanging?"

"After I debuted, I rose up... It seemed like I was praying for blessings or something..."

Nakamori Akina said, anyway, it is the habit of the parents’ generation.

"Naoki-san, I'm going to knock on the door!"

"Hi hi hi, I'm ready!"

.......

Entering through the low wall, there is a somewhat narrow entrance hall. Whether it is Sanzakura-in or the current 80 Building, the entrance hall is much larger than here.

However, it was neatly organized and there were slippers that could be changed...

"Ogasan, I'm back!" Akina yelled inside, as if she suddenly felt more confident.

"Welcome back...."

Chieko Nakamori, who was wearing a kimono, walked out with small steps. When she saw Akina Nakamori and Naoki Nagayama, she greeted her very gently.

"Naoki-san is here~"

After all, the first few children are already married, and I have already had this process of meeting my parents four times, so I am naturally very calm.

"Chieko-san, long-lost greetings..." Nagayama Naoki presented his gift, "It's a small thought, but it's not respectful..."

"Arigado! Please come in quickly!"

Chieko took the somewhat heavy gift generously, and then led the two people towards the back room.

Akina Nakamori helped carry the gifts, then held her mother's hand and walked in front, followed by Naoki Nagayama~

When we arrived at the Japanese-style room where we were waiting, we saw Akina's father, Akio Nakamori, already sitting on the tatami, and next to her was her youngest sister, Akiho Nakamori...

"Kyushu greetings... Nakamori-san..." Naoki Nagayama bowed formally and said hello.

"Well, Yongshan-san..."

No matter what his status is outside, now Akio Nakamori is Akina’s father, so he naturally has a good attitude towards his boyfriend who comes to meet him.

"The last time we met was four years ago!"

Although I knew that my daughter was dating Naoki Nagayama, the first time the two met was before Akina's debut, once when they were negotiating to purchase the patent for cat ear hair accessories, and once during a support event.

"Hi~" Nagayama Naoki nodded, "I never had a chance..."

After two sentences, the Japanese room suddenly fell silent, and the two men didn't know what to say anymore.

It was the first time for Naoki Nagayama to meet his parents, while Akio Nakamori didn't know what to ask...

The first few sons-in-law are all ordinary people. Just ask about their career, income, whether they can shoulder the heavy responsibility of taking care of their daughters, etc.~

But the guy opposite... needless to say about his career and income, it can be seen from the fact that he gave his daughter a blue Porsche. Of course, he can give his daughter a wealthy life, and both in appearance and talent.

There is no choice...it's just character...

There may be some mistakes in the reputation spread, but it can't be groundless... But it's not convenient to ask in person.

But at this time, Nagayama Naoki couldn't hold it in anymore... It wasn't because of Akio Nakamori, but because of Akio Nakamori next to him, who kept winking and sitting there with a strange expression...

What does this guy want to do...act as a manga artist?!

"Akiho? What are you doing?!" Fortunately, at this time, Chieko Nakamori came in with tea. When she saw her little daughter's appearance, she quickly scolded her, "You're not a child, how can you be so rude!"

"..." Nakamori Akiho calmed down.

Akina, who followed her mother in, sat next to Naoki Nagayama...

"Naoki-san...please use tea~" Chieko handed the tea to Nagayama Naoki, and then asked smoothly, "Is the situation on the road okay today~"

"Hi, it can be said that it has been a smooth trip..." Nagayama Naoki replied, "It takes about an hour from Taolun to Qinglai..."

"Takanawa? Don't you live in Chiyoda?"

Chieko naturally knew that her daughter was already living in someone else's home, but Akina had just returned from a promotional trip abroad, and she had to meet her parents, so it seemed that she hadn't mentioned the move yet.

"Because Chiyoda's house needs to be renovated, I will temporarily transition to the 80 Building in Takanawa." Nagayama Naoki said it directly without hiding anything.

"I see... Is it inconvenient to work now?"

"Not really..."

Just like this, we started talking about the family relationship, and slowly started chatting. No wonder Akina said that her mother is omnipotent. It can be seen from the way she treats people, at least it is easy to get closer in interpersonal communication.

Akina sometimes helps Naoki Nagayama with supplements. When Akio Nakamori hears about her current job, she will occasionally interject. And Akiho Nakamori will occasionally ask about the current situation in the entertainment industry.

However, what makes Nagayama Naoki feel at ease is that it seems that the novel "Paradise Lost" has not yet spread in the countryside, otherwise it would be embarrassing to be asked at this time~

Naturally, we had to eat lunch at Akina’s hometown. Chieko made her specialty pancakes, and Akina also opened the gifts she brought and took out the medicinal wine that Naoki Nagayama gave to Nakamori Akio. She wanted to have lunch

Have a drink while you're there.

"Let me drive this afternoon~"

As for driving back in the afternoon, Akina said this to Naoki Nagayama.

I don’t know what this little girl wants to do...

"Naoki boy!" After a few glasses of highly medicinal wine, Nakamori Akio's face turned red and his tone began to relax, "If you marry my daughter, do you know that you must devote yourself to it?!"

"Hey! I can!"

Nagayama Naoki nodded repeatedly. It was impossible to say no at this time. Even the future father-in-law across from him did not devote himself to his wife...

After a few more drinks, even my eyes became blurry:

"If you dare to bully Akina, I won't let you go! Do you understand?!"

"Hey, it won't happen~"

Although he is not very qualified as a father, at this time, even if he is just pretending, he still has some responsibility~

But as he continued to drink, Nakamori Akio became even more drunk... How could such a drinker inherit a drunkard like Akina?
To be continued...
