As soon as she heard the movement in the entrance hall, the puppy rushed over and circled around the two people. Akina Nakamori didn't bother to change her clothes, so she bent down and touched the puppy's head.
Shinichi Iwahashi hung up his coat, reached into his bag, and took out a small box that was carefully packaged and tied with a ribbon. After Akina Nakamori greeted the puppy, she stood up, looked at Shinichi Iwahashi, and her eyes fell on his hand.
.
"For Christmas," Shinichi Iwahashi told her, "I also prepared a gift for Kenta."
Akina Nakamori said "Oh" and teased him, "That's quite thoughtful."
"After all, she is Kenta's PaPa." he replied.
Iwahashi Shinichi didn't deliberately act funny. However, the contrast between such a steady face and such serious words was a little funny. Nakamori Akina couldn't help laughing, but Iwahashi Shinichi had already turned his attention to the puppy and said hello.
After shouting "Kenta!", a person and a dog entered the living room in a lively manner.
When she changed her clothes and walked in, Kenta had already put the small box under his paws, showing his teeth and biting it bit by bit.
"What gift is it?" Akina Nakamori, the curious baby, couldn't wait to know. If a person could understand the language of puppies, this would probably be what the puppy trying to open at this moment would say.
Iwahashi Shinichi said, "We'll find out when Kenta opens it."
Nakamori Akina stuck out her tongue at him and made a face, "How stingy." With this childish look, it was as if the gift for Kenta was actually prepared for her. Of course, she was not without curiosity in her heart.
What Christmas gift did Hashi Shinichi prepare for her?
The Christmas stockings (extra large) have been hung on the bedside for a long time, and I won’t know the answer until the next day...
Although it's actually almost two o'clock.
She enjoyed watching the puppy opening gifts in the most primitive way, and was reluctant to move away to do other things. Shinichi Iwahashi did not disturb her, went to put in the bath water, and prepared tea by the way. When she walked into the kitchen, she thought of her own home.
There was a bucket of snow in my refrigerator at this moment, and I finally started to worry.
All kinds of weird gifts I received from Miwa-chan can still be put away in drawers or storage rooms even if they are completely useless. Only that bucket of snow, even though it is an ordinary bucket of snow,
Once it has been given the meaning of a "gift", it would be inappropriate to throw it away. However, you cannot keep it in the refrigerator forever.
In a way, Miwa-chan gave him a gift that was difficult to deal with.
Kenta tore open a corner of the gift box and revealed the true nature of the gift. It was a rubber chew toy for dogs. It made a "squeaking" sound when bitten lightly. The puppy was confused by the sound of the toy and put it down, sniffing around.
He smelled it, stretched out a paw to push it tentatively, and then brought his teeth up. After repeating this two or three times, he finally relaxed and started playing with the new toy.
Akina Nakamori cleaned up the mess left by the puppy after unwrapping the gifts and sorted the garbage into categories. When she walked into the kitchen and saw Shinichi Iwahashi standing there in a daze, she had a bad idea and quietly walked behind him, lifting the
He raised his elbow and poked him.
"I was shocked." Iwahashi Shinichi turned around.
Nakamori Akina looked at his expression and didn't believe it, "You're lying, right?"
"Yeah, that's a lie."
The speed with which he changed his words made Nakamori Akina laugh. As soon as she started laughing, she realized that she had been teased by him, so she moved her head towards him and gently pushed her chest.
Shinichi Iwahashi held her head and held her in his arms. Akina Nakamori easily hugged his waist and said, "How cunning."
Nakamori Akina pressed her face into his arms, and Iwahashi Shinichi smiled. She could feel it even without looking at his face. Although they had been together all night, drinking and dancing, this was still the first time today.
A hug. She thought so, unwilling to take up the conversation and quarreled with him.
But he didn't want to be silent like this. After thinking about it, he suddenly put his lips to his and breathed out through his shirt.
A burst of heat seeped into her skin through the fabric of her clothes, and Shinichi Iwahashi hugged her arm tighter. However, Akina Nakamori in his arms suddenly let out an "Ah!" with a regretful tone after causing a catastrophic disaster.
He escaped from his arms.
She took two steps back, her eyes fell on Iwahashi Shinichi's shirt, she pursed her lips, and blinked her eyes. She wanted to laugh, but she also tried hard not to laugh. She felt a little guilty about getting into trouble, but she still had a hint of appreciation for her own masterpiece.
of pride.
Shin Iwahashi looked at her intently. Looking at her face, he could guess what happened without having to lower his head.
The two people stared at each other. Iwahashi Shinichi looked at her expression, but he didn't hold back and laughed. When he smiled, he turned on Nakamori Akina's switch. She covered her face with her hands, but even so, she couldn't stop her laughter.
The sound leaked out from between her fingers.
…
In the morning, Akina Nakamori pressed the harsh ring of the alarm clock and woke up from her sleep. She calmed down, raised her eyelids, and saw the Christmas stocking she had hung up on her own side of the bed.
Shinto Iwahashi was still asleep. She got up gently, picked up her pajamas, put them on, took off her Christmas stockings, and put her hand into this extra-large sock. She carefully, as if she was taking it from her mother's purse.
Take a fifty yen coin.
When Nakamori Akina thought of this, she wanted to laugh a little. But she immediately held her breath and held it back.
The large Christmas stockings had square edges propped up by the gift box. She took out the gift box and opened it, revealing an Opal brooch. The black opal background made the play of colors of the gems not only more beautiful, but also brought a sense of color.
Added a touch of mystery.
Even though Nianxia-kun seems to be incomprehensible about style, he has a good eye for choosing gifts... However, if it was a gift from Shinichi Iwahashi, anything would be fine.
Nakamori Akina thought so, and suddenly her expression moved slightly, and she noticed the other side of the gift box.
Shinichi Iwahashi got up at night and yawned and entered the bathroom. Although Nakamori Akina's agent would come to pick her up for work in the morning, but to this day, things like meeting her agent or assistant, etc.
Nothing could be more normal.
He was shaving in front of the mirror, and Akina Nakamori's figure was reflected in the mirror. She was wearing an apron and had her hands behind her back. This posture seemed to be inspecting his shaving appearance.
The two people's eyes met in the mirror, and Iwahashi Shinichi couldn't help but smile.
When he smiled, Nakamori Akina couldn't guess whether it was because he looked funny now or because he remembered something funny. Was it the little accident last night or something else...
She herself didn't realize that her mood was affected by Iwahashi Shinichi. But perhaps it should be said that after she knew that her whole heart was with Iwahashi Shinichi, she automatically put down all her defenses.
"Good morning." Shinichi Iwahashi greeted her.
Nakamori Akina came back to her senses and responded to him by facing his back or the mirror, "Good morning." She looked attentively, watching Iwahashi Shinichi finish taking care of himself until he turned around.
.
Everything in the mirror was blocked, but Shinichi Iwahashi was face to face with her. He walked over, hugged her, and said again, "Good morning, Akina."
Akina Nakamori patted him on the back, "Breakfast is ready..."
"Before that, let me ask you."
She took Shinichi Iwahashi's hand, and the two of them came out of the bathroom. At dawn one day, Akina Nakamori took out the gift box that Shinichi Iwahashi put in his Christmas stocking.
Iwahashi Shinichi watched her movements, guessing what she was going to say, and waited patiently for the next step.
As soon as the gift box was opened, the play of color of the opal stone appeared more vivid and vivid in the morning light. However, compared to the gem brooch, what Akina Nakamori wanted to ask was another question, "This."
She opened the piece of paper attached to the other side of the gift box by Shinichi Iwahashi and showed it to him.
Iwahashi Shin nodded, and repeated as if imitating: "This." As soon as he finished speaking, Nakamori Akina gave him a gentle tap.
What was written on that piece of paper was: "I would like to invite you, Akina, to wear this brooch and travel somewhere with me. PS, you will decide the location of the trip. As for me, I will be responsible for the travel planning."
."
"It's true." Nakamori Akina was angry and funny.
However, such a reaction is not because of this gift, but because of Iwahashi Shinichi's reaction at this moment. She sighed, there was nothing she could do about Nianxiajun, "At this time, you should say something nice, right?
"
As a result, Nianxiajun is here to imitate her speech.
Iwahashi Shin nodded, "That makes sense." He took it seriously and invited her, "So, is Akina-san willing to accept the important task of deciding where to travel?"
Akina Nakamori smiled and asked, as if she wanted to pose a problem to him: "Is it okay to go anywhere? Is it okay to go abroad?"
Iwahashi Shinichi agreed, "Anything is fine."
"Then, can you take a vacation? Isn't President Sang very busy?"
At this time, even Iwahashi Shinichi laughed, "Of course. Even if I am President-san, I still want to go on a trip with my girlfriend."... Although after the New Year, I will no longer be President-san and I will have to change my title.
"Okay." Nakamori Akina was satisfied, "Then I have to carefully decide on a place...I'll leave the travel plan to you."
Iwahashi Shen nodded, "It's just a matter of duty."
"When the time comes, I will wear the brooch, but I need your help to wear it."
Iwahashi Shinichi was a little surprised and asked her, "Is the brooch also a gift that needs help putting on?"
"Of course." Nakamori Akira's noodles did not change color.
Iwahashi Shinichi nodded again, "Okay, help me put it on."
At this time, Nakamori Akina was satisfied and stretched out her hand. Iwahashi Shinichi deliberately dodged, as if he was afraid of taking another blow from her.
Nakamori Akina laughed happily, took a step forward to catch up with him, and put her head on his shoulder.
"Don't worry." She muttered.
Are you reassured that you won't hit him again, or are you reassured that what happened last night won't happen again? But it doesn't matter. Nakamori Akina took his hand and whispered: "...I'm so happy."
The two of them took their time and sat together to have breakfast. During this period, Oben called and said he would be downstairs at her house at nine o'clock. At that time, the assistant came to pick her up. Akina Nakamori agreed and put down the receiver.
, sat back at the dining table.
"Is Omoto-san coming to pick you up?" Iwahashi Shinichi asked.
Akina Nakamori stuffed the rice into her mouth and nodded, "Here comes Momoi-chan." The way she eats has nothing to do with elegance. However, every time Iwahashi Shinichi looks at it, he feels aroused by the way she eats.
appetite.
Despite this, Nakamori Akina still put the food on his plate that he couldn't eat, as if she was deliberately trying to arouse his appetite just for this moment.
"Wait a minute, I have to go back home." Iwahashi Shinichi said, and then thought of the bucket of snow in the refrigerator.
Nakamori Akina didn't miss the momentary change in the expression on his face and asked him, "Why do you suddenly look so worried?"
Iwahashi Shinichi thought for a while and said to her, "Yesterday, our Yoshida-san gave me a Christmas gift that I don't know what to do with."
Nakamori Akina said "Huh?" and showed an interested expression, "What gift?" She knew whether Iwahashi Shinichi and Yoshida Miwa would give each other gifts at Christmas or all kinds of weird gifts.
At Shin Iwahashi's house, she had seen strange little things given by Miwa Yoshida. Even so...
"Snow?"
Nakamori Akina's expression was even more surprised than that of Iwahashi Shinichi when he received the gift.
Iwahashi Shin nodded, "A bucket of snow from the night of the 23rd." He was a little helpless, and with a bit of admiration for Miwa-chan, "She is probably the only person who would think of snow as a Christmas gift.
."
"That's not just snow."
Unexpectedly, Nakamori Akina didn't laugh at Miwa-chan's strange gift. On the contrary, she, who just said that Iwahashi Shinichi was preoccupied, now looked thoughtful.
She remembered the lyrics of the song "Snowy Christmas" that she had heard.
Iwahashi Shinichi told her what he was worried about, "What should I do with that bucket of snow? I can't throw it away, but I can't keep it in the refrigerator either."
Akina Nakamori chuckled, "It's okay to put it in the refrigerator."
Iwahashi Shinichi looked at her looking like a spectator and said, "From now on, every time I open the refrigerator to get something, I will see a bucket of snow first."
Then when she went to Shinichi Iwahashi's house, she opened the refrigerator and saw the bucket of snow. Akina Nakamori suddenly sighed softly and said nonchalantly, "Shinichi, you don't know anything."
Looking at Shinichi Iwahashi's confused face, she finally gave up the idea of not giving him any advice on how to deal with the gift from Yoshida-san for Shinichi Iwahashi, and said, "I have an idea for that bucket of snow."
"What?" Shinichi Iwahashi was curious.
That confused face suddenly became vivid.
Nakamori Akina blinked, "Anyway, just put it in the refrigerator for storage first." Seeing Iwahashi Shinichi's expression turning helpless again, he felt a little happy that he was teasing others, and couldn't help laughing.
After teasing people, she slowly continued, "Shenyi, would you like to consider raising some plants?"
Raise a pot of plants and irrigate it with the bucket of snow given by Yoshida-san. The plant will grow vigorously, and the gift given by Yoshida-san will be preserved in another form and take on a new meaning.
Nakamori Akina told Iwahashi Shinichi what she had thought of.
