On the last day of the holiday, the road conditions on the downlink line were much better than on the uplink line. Leaving the dog alone at home, the two of them packed up and returned to Iwahashi Shinichi's hometown in Shizuoka.
After following Akina Nakamori to her house on New Year's Day, in the past few days, except for going back to water the sunflowers on the way, Shinichi Iwahashi has been staying at Akina Nakamori's house, and the two of them spent time together.
At this moment, if he had to drive his own car, he would have to go back again. Iwahashi Shinichi was too lazy to bother with it, even though the two of them lived very close to each other, so he simply went to the end of the road and drove Nakamori Akina's car back.
Driving his girlfriend's car back to his hometown, Iwahashi Shinichi is irresistible as a soft rice king.
Before setting off, Nakamori Akina was still amused by his shamelessness, but she actually did as he planned. Staying in the car soaked in her own scent, she unknowingly felt relaxed.
Years ago, her hot-headed preparations didn't come in handy. Today, she dressed low-key and natural, with a little makeup. Not to mention that they were going back to Iwahashi Shinichi's hometown together, it was no different from when the two of them went out on a date.
"It's a pity." Shinichi Iwahashi said suddenly.
Akina Nakamori reacted, "What's the pity?"
"The clothes you bought specially." Shinichi Iwahashi glanced at her quickly, then looked ahead, "If you don't have a chance to wear it, it will be wasted."
Nakamori Akina was so angry and funny, she broke the rules and said bad things about herself, "I'm just an extravagant woman." She was the one who was at a loss before, but now she doesn't admit it, and she is the one who started to cheat.
Both of them are in a good mood to go back to their hometown together. In the past few years, Shin Iwahashi has been looking forward to going back to Shizuoka every time. Akina Nakamori, who is sitting next to him, is even more looking forward to this day, even though he is nervous and expectant.
Pros and cons...
However, because Iwahashi Shinichi is here, Nakamori Akina doesn't seem so nervous anymore.
Rather than being relaxed in the car soaked in her own scent, it was better to say that she felt at ease because Shinichi Iwahashi was by her side.
Akina Nakamori didn't have any good memories about dealing with her boyfriend's parents. Back then, when she learned of the scandal between her and Masahiko Kondo, Masahiko Kondo's mother took the initiative to give an interview to a weekly magazine in order to publicly express her dissatisfaction with her. She felt that Kiyose
A wild child in a country shopping street cannot reach the realm of elegance.
At this moment, Kondo Masahiko automatically turned invisible and treated his mother's rude behavior as if nothing had happened.
Suddenly thinking of Kondo Masahiko and Kondo Mieko, Nakamori Akina reacted and realized that it had been a long, long time since she had heard of this name or thought of anything about him.
Kondo Mieko has passed away many years ago, and the name Kondo Masahiko has also faded in my memory. So now that I accidentally think of it, I have to react first.
There is no need for her to deliberately forget, a fulfilling life will naturally wash away the people and things that have nothing to do with life. Even if she occasionally thinks about it, she has neither regret nor disgust in her heart, but it feels like she is looking at other people's things.
I remember the last time I heard about that person becoming a weekly hot topic was when he held a press conference to announce his retirement from Johnny's and the entertainment industry.
A person who treats others without sincerity and is proud of this insincerity will eventually become a cocoon because of this insincerity. A person who is passionate about fame and fortune, obsessed with being sought after by fans, and even jealous of newcomers who come from behind will eventually retire in embarrassment.
It's really sad to leave such a clown-like ending.
When the word "pathetic" came into Nakamori Akina's mind, her heart suddenly skipped a beat. She remembered the dilemma she had been in during the Daesang incident, and recalled her refusal of Masahiko Kondo's inducement to buy a house.
It was because she insisted on stepping onto the stage of the Grand Prize that she was able to refuse the trap of buying a house later... right?
If she had given up the big prize, if she had accepted the inducement to buy a house, could she have looked at it all with the eyes of a bystander like she does now, and thought of this "pathetic" word that had nothing to do with herself?
A large truck passed from behind and drove in front of their car.
Nakamori Akina subconsciously glanced at Shinichi Iwahashi next to him. He looked ahead and drove the car smoothly. I remember that once, Shinichi Iwahashi made a joke to himself, saying that his driving style was "a driver's style" because he had never been a driver.
Since entering the entertainment industry, I have been working as a driver for others for the first period of time.
But on the other hand, anyone who rides in a car driven by him can feel at ease.
It is because of the peace of mind that I can look at everything with the eyes of a bystander at this moment. Even if I am overtaken by a large truck and look at its oppressive body and the rear of the car that is approaching and far away, I am not worried that something will happen.
ACCIDENT.
The two questions that popped up in my mind just now, no need to worry, they got the answers immediately.
The person who encouraged her to stand on the Grand Prize stage was Shinichi Iwahashi. Because of the courage Iwahashi Shinichi gave her, she chose to believe in the firm and stand with the firm, and she won the unprecedented three consecutive Grand Prizes. It was
The courage and determination brought by three consecutive Grand Prize winners allowed her to stay away from Kondo Masahiko and reject the trap of buying a house.
I met Shinichi Iwahashi, was encouraged and affirmed by him, and unknowingly, I did something unprecedented.
...Unconsciously, I got rid of the noise in my ears and became myself.
Nakamori Akina thought about how she was getting closer to Shinichi Iwahashi at that time, and also thought about how Shinichi Iwahashi was by her side at this moment. She couldn't help but want to laugh, but she felt a little sour in her heart and wanted to shed tears. She thought a little stupidly
, the courage that allowed her to approach Iwahashi Shinichi and extend her hand was also given to her by Iwahashi Shinichi.
But at this moment, sitting in the car, the peace of mind she felt was because this person was Shinichi Iwahashi.
Iwahashi Shinichi suddenly spoke to her, "Yesterday afternoon, my mother called me."
Nakamori Akina said "Hey", came back to her senses, looked at his face, her own face flickered, and a wave of heat surged up in her own face. Fortunately, Iwahashi Shinichi was driving and didn't see her suddenly shy expression.
"Don't worry." Shinichi Iwahashi smiled, "Just confirm the itinerary with me."
Nakamori Akina nodded and answered him, "I'm not worried." However, she recalled her rash first meeting with Iwahashi Chiyo last year, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed, "Chiyo-san turns out to be such a cautious person."
"That doesn't really count." Iwahashi Shinichi replied, "I also made a reservation at a Western restaurant on a whim to taste something like this alone."
Akina Nakamori was a little impressed, "It's so fashionable."
"It's quite fashionable." Shinichi Iwahashi said smoothly, "I suggested that she leave her father at home occasionally and come to Tokyo for a few days. She also seriously considered my suggestion."
"It's a bit excessive. If Shinichi's father knew about his son's arrangement, he might feel hurt."
Iwahashi Shinichi laughed loudly when she heard Akina Nakamori imitating her imaginary father's reaction, "My father doesn't have such delicate emotions. He only complains, 'What is there in Tokyo that is worth spending a few days in?'"
"There's a lot to do in Tokyo." Akina Nakamori answered with a smile.
Tokyo is like a huge amusement park. You may not be able to fully enjoy it in a few days or even months. But it’s like some people just go to the amusement park and just wait in line for the recommended items without feeling any enjoyment at all.
In that case, Masaaki Iwahashi is such a person.
"But, so to speak, Shen Yi's father is a bit serious." She began to think about it herself.
As a result, Iwahashi Shinichi interrupted her train of thought again, "That's not true. My father is the best at telling cold jokes. As long as you continue to talk to him, sooner or later you will be cold enough to surrender."
Akina Nakamori imagined an image of a person telling cold jokes with a straight face. She couldn't stop thinking about it, and she felt happy first, "After Shinichi said that, I can't even imagine what Shinichi's father and mother are like." Mingming and Iwa said.
Hashichiyo had met her once, but Iwahashi Shinichi made her go around her, which made her confused.
Shinichi Iwahashi smiled at her, "Then don't think about it. In short, they are my father and mother. It's such a simple thing."
"A simple thing." Akina Nakamori looked at his face.
Iwahashi Shinichi said "Yeah", "Anyway, don't worry, I'll be with you for everything." His tone was normal, and he didn't think this was a big deal. But maybe it was the calmness and calmness he felt after making up his mind.
Akina Nakamori breathed a long sigh of relief and said surprisingly, "I really want to hug you."
Iwahashi Shinichi was unexpected and didn't know how to react, so he teased her, "Then please be patient for a moment, now is the critical moment."... On the highway.
"It's just a 'thinking'." Nakamori Akina emphasized. Looking at the calm face, she couldn't help complaining, "Shinichi, you really don't know if you are serious or not."
Shinichi Iwahashi replied quickly, "About half and half."
"You're really good at talking." Akina Nakamori made him laugh.
She had lowered her nerves and had long since stopped her unconfident thoughts. Just like now, she was sitting peacefully in Iwahashi Shen's car, waiting for the next step to be led by him into his home.
Shinichi Iwahashi encouraged her, affirmed her, and gave her courage.
Although there are times when he is in a hurry, when he is hot-headed, and when he is at a loss, he will not be confident in himself, and will also think about how to perform to win higher scores from his parents...
Even though he had all kinds of stupid ideas, he did indeed do stupid things and became unlike himself.
But because Shinichi Iwahashi is by her side, going around in a circle, she is still herself.
…
When she saw the Western-style house of Shizuoka Iwahashi's family for the first time, Akina Nakamori couldn't help but express a hint of surprise, "It's amazing!"
Even Iwahashi Shinichi couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he saw this Western-style house that looked like it was built by a foreigner when he returned to his hometown for the first time, let alone Akina Nakamori.
She never expected that Shinichi Iwahashi's hometown would be such a unique Western-style building. At this moment, a question suddenly occurred to her and she couldn't help but ask Shinichi Iwahashi, "Could Shinichi's home also be completely Western-style?"
,There are no Japanese-style rooms at all, right?”
If that's the case, wouldn't the scenario of "kneeling down and saying hello in a Japanese-style room" that I had imagined since meeting Chiyo Iwahashi by accident last year, not just wishful thinking?
Iwahashi Shinichi smiled, "That's not a problem. There are still Japanese-style rooms for entertaining guests."
"Um……"
When Nakamori Akina received such an answer, she just wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, but she felt that it was strange to breathe a sigh of relief at this time, so she stopped. As a result, unknowingly, at the sight of Iwahashi Shin, she made another small mistake.
stupid.
He reached out and took Nakamori Akina's hand, "Let's go."
Akina Nakamori felt a little embarrassed when she thought that this was outside the front door of his house. But Shinichi Iwahashi did not let go. He took her hand, opened the door, walked through the small courtyard, and stood in front of the door.
Iwahashi Shinichi pressed the doorbell first, and then took out the house key. The moment the door opened, Nakamori Akina took her hand back and was too embarrassed to hold hands when she first came to the door.
"We're back." Iwahashi Shinichi stood in front of the entrance and greeted.
Chiyo Iwahashi came over to greet her, "Welcome back." She responded to her son and then turned her attention to Akina Nakamori, who was standing next to him.
Akina Nakamori lowered her head, "Greetings from Jiu Shu, I am Akina Nakamori."
Chiyo Iwahashi looked at her delicate head and smiled, "Long time no see, Akina-chan."
"Yes!" Nakamori Akina straightened up, looking at the gentle face of Iwahashi Chiyo, she couldn't help but smile, "I wish you a happy New Year, I'm sorry to bother you today."
Once you get some released kindness, your mood will immediately rise and you will go all out.
When Iwahashi Shino thought of Nakamori Akina's childish personality, he felt both love and pity for her. In addition, what surprised him was the way Iwahashi Chiyo called Nakamori Akina, "Akina-chan".
He still remembered Chiyo Iwahashi who accidentally met Nakamori Akina. When mother and son talked afterwards, Chiyo Iwahashi insisted on saying "Nakamori-san".
Because of this, when he entered the house at this moment, Chiyo Iwahashi naturally called him "Akina-chan", which made Shinichi Iwahashi feel grateful for his mother's kindness. In addition, it became clearer why his mother insisted on saying "
Nakamori-san".
"I'm looking forward to your return." Chiyo Iwahashi took the gift from her son, "Your father is out and will be back in a while."
Iwahashi Shinichi listened, "Would you like to pay New Year's greetings?"
"I said I was going to visit a nearby temple," Chiyo Iwahashi replied.
Iwahashi Shinichi thought about it and said with a smile, "Akina and I haven't gone to visit anywhere this year." Iwahashi Chiyo and Nakamori Akina had met before, and when there were only three of them at home, Iwahashi Shinichi spoke more casually.
"Is it okay for Akina-chan to drink black tea?" Iwahashi Chiyo discussed with her.
Nakamori Akina immediately replied, "Sorry to trouble you."
"Okay." Chiyo Iwahashi nodded, then looked at Shinichi Iwahashi, "Shinichi, let's drink black tea too."
Iwahashi Chiyo went to prepare tea, while Iwahashi Shinichi and Nakamori Akina stayed in the living room. Only the two of them were there, their eyes were exchanged, and Iwahashi Shinichi smiled at her.
As if she was deliberately trying to make people laugh... Nakamori Akina thought so, but she couldn't help but laugh.
At this time, I heard movement at the door. It was Iwahashi Shoaki coming back.
