If this can be considered a blessing, then Miwa-chan is indeed a genius.
Iwahashi Shinichi is convinced of this little fox. At the beginning of the new year, he accepts her blessing that makes people wonder how to react.
If this can really be regarded as a blessing, and not just a joke that this guy wants to watch.
Iwahashi Shinichi put on the giraffe hood again, left the backstage of the Kohaku Song Concert with Miwa-chan and Nakamura-chan, and got into the same car.
There was beer prepared in advance in the car. Before going back to their respective homes, the three of them toasted together to celebrate the beginning of the new year.
After running around all night, I just finished a party. After a few sips of wine, my body suddenly felt lazy. Shinichi Iwahashi couldn't help but yawned. However, even though his body felt tired, his head was still very excited.
.
Not just him, Miwa-chan and Nakamura-san are also the same.
On New Year's Eve, tram lines across the country run all night. After the New Year's dinner, people rush out of their homes, forgetting their fatigue in the sound of bells that ring all night long, and making a scene with joy everywhere.
The band's manager sent the three people back one by one. Iwahashi Shinichi went home first, changed into his suit again, and then called Nakamori Akina.
After Christmas Eve, Nakamori Akina invited Iwahashi Shinichi to visit her hometown in Kiyose during the New Year. She mentioned this at the breakfast table. Her nonchalant tone seemed to be asking him if he wanted a salt shaker.
Iwahashi Shinichi stood in front of the phone, waiting for the call to be connected. He thought of her pretending to be calm and found it interesting.
Akina Nakamori has everything written on her face.
Even if you deliberately pretend to be indifferent and don't care, it is often because you are too free and easy, and your inner nervousness is exposed.
Since it's New Year's Eve, Chieko is not the only one in Kiyose's Nakamori family. Her brothers and sisters, and maybe the father who ran away from home will also go back. On New Year's Eve, he invites him to Kiyose's hometown, and he goes back in peacetime.
It's two different things to enjoy the lunch served by Chieko.
Ever since she became popular, gossip magazines have made articles about her relationship with her family from time to time. From when she built the Zhongsen Building, they half praised and half sourly said that she "valued her family", to the relationship between her and her family.
Unpleasant negative publicity due to money. And her younger sister who made great efforts to follow in her elder sister's footsteps but ended up disappearing.
Even the general public knows that her relationship with her family is somewhat delicate. Not to mention Shinichi Iwahashi, who has known something about her family since he met her. In the past few years, he has listened to her talk and helped with advice.
In the entire Nakamori family, there is no one who truly loves her more than her mother, Chieko. Previously, Akina Nakamori only took him to introduce him to Chieko. But now, she wants to take him back to her hometown and introduce him to the rest of the family.
Even if she has a subtle relationship with her family members, she will introduce Iwahashi Shinichi to them. Even if she has a subtle relationship with her family, she will not hide the matter from Iwahashi Shinichi.
Akina Nakamori has made up her mind to spread everything about her in front of him.
Now that he is aware of this matter, how could Iwahashi Shinichi not agree to her invitation? Not only that, but he must also imitate her frankness and send an invitation from him as well.
Even though it was an invitation that made Akina Nakamori panic for a while.
…
After the Red and White Song Festival, Nakamori Akina declined the gathering among the singers as usual. Just as the person who invited her knew full well that she would not attend, it was just a matter of routine at this time.
The old manager Ben sent Akina Nakamori home. However, today's work did not end here. Instead, according to Akina Nakamori's arrangement, he had to send her home first, then pick her up at Shin Iwahashi's family, and send the two of them off.
Return to Kiyose's Nakamori family.
I had no idea what the traffic conditions would be like on New Year's Eve after staying up all night. When I arrived in Kiyose, it was probably hard to find a parking place for a while. On New Year's Eve in previous years, after the Red and White Song Festival ended, as long as there were no other
The arrangements were all for Omoto to send Akina Nakamori back to her hometown. However, this year there was an extra step, and it came with Shinichi Iwahashi.
As soon as they made their relationship public, they were invited home by Akina Nakamori to celebrate the New Year on New Year's Eve. In his heart, Ben was nervous about this progress. However, the old manager only thought about it in his heart.
After leaving NHK to inquire, on the way back, Akina Nakamori took out her mobile phone from time to time, as if she wanted to dial a number but couldn't help herself.
The traffic conditions along the way were not very good. While waiting, Omoto saw her appearance in the rearview mirror, which was a little strange. If he was worried about keeping Iwahashi Shinichi waiting for too long, he might as well just call her.
Or maybe the call was meant to be made to someone else?
Of course, there was no answer to the question in Omoto's mind. Akina Nakamori didn't dial any number until the end. She put the phone back in her bag and turned to look out the window.
That expression was a bit expectant, but also a bit awkward.
…
Of course Omoto didn't know that Shinichi Iwahashi was actually present at tonight's Hongbai Song Concert backstage. If he had been at home tonight, he wouldn't have gone to such trouble. He would have sent her home first and then picked up Shinichi Iwahashi together.
Going in a circle is just to avoid missing out.
After the Kohaku Song Festival ended, the singers all left the NHK Hall. When Akina Nakamori arrived home, she thought that Shinichi Iwahashi should go back as well.
However, she did not call Iwahashi Shinichi. After changing her clothes, she checked Kenta's food and water. While playing with the puppy, she waited for Iwahashi Shinichi to take the initiative to call her.
On the way back from the NHK lobby, Akina Nakamori thought that Shinichi Iwahashi was sitting in the car with Yoshida-san and Nakamura-san from DREAM's sexy T-shirt and E, so she wanted to give him a call.
But in the end, I still suppressed this idea.
Or maybe, it was because there was a phone call that I wanted to make but I didn't make it on the way, so at this moment, I had to wait for Shinichi Iwahashi's call to come.
It was obvious that even she herself felt embarrassed about this little thought.
...but confidently.
Iwahashi Shinichi's call came not too early or too late. Nakamori Akina answered the phone, resettled Kenta, and called Omoto who was waiting in the reception room of the apartment to ask him to prepare the car.
Before going out, she bent down, patted the puppy's head, and said with a smile: "Kenta, please stay at home." She was about to see Shinichi Iwahashi, and her joy of returning to her hometown with him could not be concealed on her face.
…
The road conditions to Kiyose were better than expected.
On the other hand, the upward line from Kiyose to Tokyo is a bit confusing. Tokyo, the city that never sleeps, is even brighter on New Year's Eve. Wherever you look, the stars are shining.
Due to the presence of Ben, it was not convenient for the two of them to talk about tonight's Red and White Song Concert. However, the more this happened, the more intense and unconcealable emotions surged in their hearts.
Nakamori Akina suddenly reached out her hand and slapped Iwahashi Shinichi's knee. This attracted his attention, and when she was stared at by him, she met his eyes and couldn't help laughing.
"Nothing~" She blinked.
Shinichi Iwahashi glanced at the big book in front of him, and following suit, he also stretched out his hand, put it on her lap, and slapped her. He blinked and said seriously, "Nothing."
"..." Nakamori Akina glared at him, reminding him of words such as "stingy and cunning", but she couldn't say them clearly. For a moment, she felt like she had dug a hole for herself.
Subtle feeling.
Seeing her puffing up her cheeks, Iwahashi Shinichi made her laugh, then stretched out his hand and grasped her fingers.
That's pretty much it.
Akina Nakamori thought so in her mind, but she turned her head away, not looking at Shinichi Iwahashi, but looking at the scenery outside the car window. Despite this, the fingers that were clenched were hooking his fingers up and down.
The two people in the back row looked at each other, and Ben in front tried his best to keep a straight face and drove his car silently. After all, he is an old agent who is not afraid of changes...
Daben sighed silently.
There is also an origami book by Akina Nakamori in the car. Usually, when I get home, I can easily find a lot of things to do. Instead, I sit in the car and rush from one work place to another.
Able to focus on learning origami.
Shinichi Iwahashi pointed to the origami book and asked her, "Have you learned any new origami patterns recently?"
Akina Nakamori shook her head, took the origami book over, and turned to one of the pages, "I've been learning this recently." She pointed to the origami monkey pattern on the page and let out a sigh of relief, "However, it's a little difficult."
She can be considered an origami expert. Even she said it was difficult, and it looked like it was not easy.
Iwahashi Shinichi leaned over and looked at the inner pages of the origami book. Although he had been learning origami from Akina Nakamori, he had never read an origami book before, and it was all because of the arrangement of this teacher who was not very good at teaching.
But at this moment, she found Shinichi Iwahashi reading an origami book. Akina Nakamori pouted and said, "Don't read it." She moved the book aside a little and told him, "Don't read it, don't read it~"
Iwahashi Shinichi was a little helpless and reminded her, "'Don't watch', just say it once."
Nakamori Akina held the origami book in her arms and laughed happily. She looked so proud, as if she was holding not an origami book, but a magic book that would lose its effectiveness if others saw it.
.
…
The Nakamori family in Kiyose made up their minds to party until morning. After the Kohaku Song Festival ended, Minghui was the first to suggest moving out the family karaoke machine, and joked with the family that this was a "family version of the Kohaku Song Festival"
”.
Chieko was the first to join in, "I want to be a censor."
The eldest son Minghong was the first to object, "I don't want to make a family version of Red and White...it sounds too shabby, doesn't it?" He was somewhat unhappy with his eldest sister's family coming back to celebrate the New Year on New Year's Eve.
Akie Nakamori disappointed her younger brother and jokingly complained, "It's too much."
The second son Mingfa looked like he wanted to stay out of it, "Whether it's a duel or anything else, in short, I definitely don't want to sing." He opened a can of beer again and said, "I want another drink."
He may not have done this intentionally, but he did it accidentally and drove away the delicate atmosphere.
Mingfa's wife took the opportunity to respond positively, "Then I will sing to my heart's content!" She smiled and went to chat with her eldest sister, and the two women began to play with the home karaoke machine that they could only use once a year.
machine.
The atmosphere in the Japanese room became relaxed again. As long as the atmosphere was heated, Mingfa, who even said that he would never sing, still took the microphone. However, although the people present were thinking about their own things, at this moment, they were at least thinking about it.
Same thing.
Chieko was once again surrounded by the laughter and laughter of her children. However, deep down in her heart, she was not happy because of this moment of harmony.
The Japanese room was bustling with activity, but the sounds outside could not be heard clearly.
Until the sliding door of the living room was opened, Akina Nakamori leaned out half of her body and greeted the people inside with a smile, "Happy New Year!"
Chieko was the first to welcome her daughter, "Happy New Year, Akina." She looked at the young man walking behind Akina Nakamori, smiled, and said in a hearty tone, "Welcome, Shinichi-kun."
Her mother's words were like a signal. Nakamori Akina didn't care about the looks her brothers and sisters were looking at. She stepped aside and signaled Iwahashi Shinichi to come in with her eyes. Beside him, she acted as an introducer: "This is Iwahashi."
bridge."
She didn't feel that she should be shy to say this on her own initiative, so she went straight to the point and announced to her family, "This is my boyfriend I'm dating."
…
When Iwahashi Shinichi heard her formally announcing his identity, even though they had been dating for a long time, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. Like a person who is not good at talking, he was suddenly pulled to the middle of the stage.
Although when Akina Nakamori wants to play tricks on Shinichi Iwahashi, the plan often ends in failure. But Shinichi Iwahashi is real, and from time to time he sees a surprising side of this Taupusta. And in a sense,
It's because she is frank and sincere towards others, so occasionally there will be moments like this that surprise him.
That little bit of embarrassment flashed through his mind. Then, he realized her determination.
Nakamori Akina is courageous, and Iwahashi Shinichi will certainly not shrink back. He walked into this crowded Japanese-style room, said hello to Chieko, and greeted Nakamori Akina's brothers and sisters.
In the Japanese-style room, Akio Nakamori was nowhere to be seen. New Year's Eve is the best day to write off the past as if nothing happened. Since Akio Nakamori did not appear, it seems that his father who ran away from home still has no intention of coming back.
But the wonderful thing about the Nakamori family is that the children have long been accustomed to their father's absence at home and don't take it seriously.
Akina Nakamori's hometown in Kiyose and this Japanese-style room were visited by Shinichi Iwahashi more than once. Chieko prepared delicious meals, and he and Akina Nakamori ate together, and the three of them talked happily. At that time, I felt calm and peaceful.
I don’t have the tension of visiting my girlfriend’s family.
However, at this moment, when greeting Chieko, Iwahashi Shinichi suddenly became cautious. But he did not think that the source of this nervousness was because in addition to Chieko, other family members of Akina Nakamori were present in the Japanese room.
So, why?
However, the atmosphere in the Japanese room was lively and lively, leaving no room for Shinichi Iwahashi to think at the moment.
