After leaving Asakusa, we went to Meiji Jingu Shrine. Heita was full of energy when we went, but he fell asleep again and again on the way back. After leaving the station, Shinichi Iwahashi hugged his sleeping child, and walked slowly back to Chieko's house with Akina Nakamori.
We set out in the second half of the night and walked around Asakusa and Meiji Shrine. This large circle ended at dawn. The winter day came late, and the sky was hazy, with blue and white in the gray.
Adults use their energy little by little, but children often use their energy thoroughly. Therefore, after having fun, they always have to drag their tired bodies and take their sleeping children home.
"It's really fun to go to Hatsuru." Iwahashi Shinichi said.
Nakamori Akina couldn't help but smile as she listened, "...it's like visiting a shrine for the first time on New Year's Day."
In fact, it was the first time for me to go to the New Year's shrine. Iwahashi Shinichi also smiled and said to her, "Of course it is the first time to go to the New Year's shrine like this."
Akina Nakamori said she was disgusted, "You're glib." She looked towards Shinichi Iwahashi and teased him, "I didn't know before that you still have such a side, Shinichi."
"Well, it's a good disguise." Shin Iwahashi climbed up as soon as he had the pole.
Nakamori Akina couldn't defeat him. As long as Iwahashi Shin thought about it, there would be a lot of words waiting there. However, at this moment, she didn't have the thought of being quick to talk. She closed her mouth and walked quietly beside him.
around.
Shinichi Iwahashi was holding his sleeping child in his arms, so she could neither hold hands with him nor shoulder to shoulder with him. But with such a pair walking on the road, no one would ignore them.
relationships between people.
The existence of a child is like an invisible thread connecting the two. Even though Heita is just her nephew, he is not the child of her and Iwahashi Shinichi. However, walking together like this with Iwahashi Shinichi, I have such thoughts in my heart
surge.
This is not so much that she is imagining it, but rather that it is a real experience.
…
Akita and his wife returned to Chieko's place and learned that Heita followed Nakamori Akina and Iwahashi Shinichi, and the three of them went to Asakusa and Meiji Shrine. Nakamori Akita looked a little subtle, "Did you take Heita with you?"
Akira's wife was very happy, "This way, Heita-kun won't be upset that he didn't go to Asakusa when he wakes up."
Chieko agreed, "When we set off, Heita was very energetic."
Both his mother and wife said so, and Nakamori Akino couldn't say much. Although in his heart, he felt more or less uncomfortable about meeting Akina next.
On New Year's Eve, before meeting this sister, she couldn't wait to go to Asakusa. Akina must have known that she was avoiding her. But in the end, she still couldn't avoid meeting her.
If I had known earlier, it would be better to wait for Heita to wake up and meet Akina and that Iwahashi-san before going.
Unlike Mingfa, who had a lot of twists and turns in her heart, his wife didn't think about it that much. In Mingfa's wife's heart, the affairs of the Zhongsen family had nothing to do with her, no matter in the past or now. Her husband was so awkward to care about it.
, if she knew about it, she would definitely laugh at him.
Nowadays, the more you act coy, the less presentable you become, right?
Since she was going to see her mother-in-law, and since she was going to meet Akina again, Mingfa's wife was even more unwilling to lose out in front of such a star.
"Heita seems to like that Iwahashi-san very much." Mingfa's wife chatted with her mother-in-law, "Before, I called him 'snack-san'... was it because Iwahashi-san bought him snacks?"
This is a secret that only Chieko, Akina, and Heita know.
Chieko smiled and said, "Shinichi-kun also likes Heita very much. The two of them had a great time."
Akina's boyfriend is liked by both Chieko and her children, and even his wife doesn't dislike him. But Akina's feelings about this person are not so much that she has any good or bad feelings about him.
of fear.
The doorbell rang and Chieko went to open the door.
In a small house, in the living room, you can hear the noise coming from the entrance. However, the voice of Akina talking to her mother, and the voice of the man talking mixed in, are all unclear and seem to be deliberately lowered.
Voice.
Mingfa's wife was the first to understand, "Is Pingtai asleep?"
Shinichi Iwahashi walked into the living room with his child in his arms.
Mingfa's wife bowed her head to him and thanked him, "Thank you for taking care of me. I have caused you no trouble."
She is more polite and considerate than ever.
Akino Nakamori watched from the side, a little overwhelmed by his wife's posture.
…
After a brief exchange of polite greetings, Akira and his wife, each holding a child, said goodbye. The couple did not want to face Nakamori Akina and Iwahashi Shinichi. At this point, if Heita was awake, they would probably not even have the child.
Everybody can see it.
However, Akina Nakamori loved her nephew, but she had no intention of repairing the relationship with her brothers and sisters. Even Chieko did not have any expectations that the relationship between her children would be the same as before.
It took a lot of effort to end the entanglements over the years in a way that completely turned the once big family over. Chieko was by no means the kind of person who would start making unrealistic calculations as soon as she got a little peace.
We met at my mother's place by chance, exchanged simple and polite greetings, and then parted ways. Nothing could be more appropriate than this moment.
"Drink a cup of Tosu wine." Iwahashi Shinichi said, going to get the wine bottle. He reached over and suddenly smiled, and said to Chieko and Nakamori Akina, "My arms are sore."
"This is the only level of reliability." Chieko laughed at him.
Iwahashi Shinichi accepted her kind-hearted joke and nodded, "Holding a baby is much harder than expected."
"Really?" Chieko showed a somewhat proud expression, as if a senior was imparting experience, "Don't underestimate raising children."
In front of Iwahashi Shinichi, Chieko showed such a naughty attitude from time to time and sang along with him.
Nakamori Akina listened to the conversation between her boyfriend and her mother, took the wine bottle away from Shinichi Iwahashi, and filled the glass for her mother first. The young man was supposed to drink the Tusu wine first, but Shinichi Iwahashi, a foreigner, changed it to "New Year's Eve".
The older ones drink first.
Although Akina Nakamori said that he looked like a foreigner, Chieko felt that it was because of his informality.
She also poured it into Iwahashi Shinichi's cup. When she heard Iwahashi Shinichi tell his mother, "I'm a little hungry," she deliberately changed her mind and teased him in front of her mother, "If your arms are sore, how about you?"
'Ah~' So, take special care of you?"
"Then I won't be polite." Iwahashi Shinichi didn't follow the routine.
Nakamori Akina was caught off guard and was dodged. Didn't she usually react like "spare me"? She wanted to gain the upper hand, but was led around again. Only Chieko was happy to watch the fun.
It's funny to see my daughter cringe in front of Shinichi Iwahashi. But in a sense, this is a sign of peace of mind about Akina and Shinichi Iwahashi's relationship.
Of course, Iwahashi Shinichi was determined that she would not do this in front of Chieko. However, if she knew this idea, Akina Nakamori might fight him for the sake of competition.
When you get into a fight, you have to push forward even if you lose a thousand dollars. This is Nakamori Akina.
…
This year's New Year's Day was as quiet as expected, with no one visiting. Shinichi Iwahashi and Akina Nakamori put their feet into the kotatsu and took a nap in the living room.
If you slept like this in winter, you would have been scolded as a child.
Even so, maybe it was because they had changed places, maybe they were still excited, or maybe they had eaten the rice cakes and it was difficult to fall asleep when they were full, so neither of them fell asleep.
The weather was nice. Chieko went for a walk and visited a nearby temple.
There were only two people at home. Akina Nakamori raised her eyelids and saw that Shinichi Iwahashi was still awake. Like a child, she rolled over to his side and touched his arm with a smile, but said nothing.
.
Iwahashi Shinichi stretched out his hand and put it on her shoulder.
Under the kotatsu, Akina Nakamori's feet stretched out and pressed against his calf. The two were facing each other. Akina Nakamori thought of something, blinked, leaned over, and gently bit his ear.
A small laugh escaped from between her lips and teeth, and penetrated into Shinichi Iwahashi's ears without any trace, making him feel itchy in his heart.
"Do you want to be here?" Iwahashi Shinichi moved his hand down with a little revenge.
However, Akina Nakamori left his arms and stuck out her tongue at him, "Of course not."
"What was that just now? Were you making fun of someone?"
Nakamori Akina smiled and told Iwahashi Shinichi, "That's what I want to do... bite you."
"As expected, I'm still teasing people." Iwahashi Shinichi refused to let her go.
Nakamori Akina felt sorry for herself and couldn't think of a good reason. She reached out her hand and gently poked his cheek, "Why are you like this?"
Iwahashi Shinichi used his only 11% acting skills and some sincerity to pretend to be pitiful.
"Wait until we get back..." Nakamori Akina also used her 98-point acting skills and true feelings to pretend to be back. She blinked her eyes, looking pitiful, "You can't be at mother's house, can you?"
Iwahashi Shinichi took his hand back, but did not reply to her words.
Seeing this, Akina Nakamori leaned towards him again, "You shouldn't be angry, right?"
"Are you really angry?" She leaned over to him.
Iwahashi Shinichi hasn't spoken yet.
Nakamori Akina began to regret a little, and was trying to use her brain to think of how to redeem herself, when she suddenly noticed that something was wrong with Iwahashi Shinichi's expression. After thinking about it, she reached out her hand and put it on his stomach.
really
After being discovered, Shinichi Iwahashi couldn't bear it anymore and laughed.
Akina Nakamori had been anxious for a long time, but in the end she was deceived by someone with only 11% acting skills. She was a little unhappy, but she couldn't help laughing when she thought that she had done a good thing first.
"Your acting skills are so good, I give you ninety-nine points."
After laughing enough, the two of them lay together again. When Akina Nakamori said this, she wanted to pinch his ears. But remembering the trouble she had just caused on a whim, she stretched out her hand and gently placed it on his shoulder.
superior.
"Doesn't it mean that actors' acting skills will explode when they feel their true feelings?"
Hearing what he said, Akina Nakamori asked him cautiously, "So, were you really angry just now?"
Iwahashi Shinichi asked her, "Why did you do that suddenly?"
Akina Nakamori puffed her lips, sighed, and told him the truth, "Actually, I wanted to do this when I was in Asakusa."
"In Asakusa?"
She nodded, "You are holding Ping Taijun in front...what are you laughing at?!"
Unfortunately, when she became angry, Iwahashi Shinichi laughed even harder. He laughed at her, as if she was jealous of her little nephew.
Of course not.
Akina Nakamori was unwilling to give in and blurted out, "Behind you, of course I only see your ears."
Shinichi Iwahashi still had a smile on his face, but this smile was different from the joke he had just made on her. He reached out his hand and touched her head, "New Year's Eve is not as planned."
If it goes according to plan, I won't just look into his ears.
When Akina Nakamori heard this, she smiled instead, "But, I'm still very happy. And, I also know one thing."
"What's up?"
Akina Nakamori acted like she was trying to hide her secrets and kept her mouth shut.
Iwahashi Shinichi asked again, but still didn't get an answer. Look at her slightly proud expression and her deliberately pursed lips. After all, she has a bright mind or knows her well enough.
Nakamori Akina felt happy and waited for him to kiss her. However, before her lips were waiting for her, Shinichi Iwahashi stretched out a finger, trying to pry her mouth open.
...One hundred million percent of this guy did it on purpose!
Nakamori Akina became so angry that she acted so passionately, she opened her mouth and bit the finger.
Iwahashi Shinichi bent his fingers, gently hooked her teeth, and then asked: "What do you know?"
Nakamori Akina wanted to "hum", but unfortunately, she bit a finger and hummed with her nose, which looked particularly funny. Not only was it not powerful, it also looked ridiculous in this situation.
She relaxed her mouth, drooped her eyebrows, and asked Iwahashi Shinichi, "Why are you doing this?"
This look looks cute, pitiful, and a little funny.
Shinichi Iwahashi touched her face, leaned in and kissed her on the lips. Akina Nakamori dodged for a moment, but when she was caught again, she gave up dodging and closed her eyes.
...I also know one more thing.
As for you, Shen Yi, you will definitely be a good father.
If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have told Shinichi Iwahashi directly.
The moment this thought came to Nakamori Akina's mind, she suddenly felt aggrieved. When Iwahashi Shinichi's fingers touched the corners of her eyes, she came to her senses and saw that she was crying.
In front of me, Shinichi Iwahashi's face looked surprised, at a loss, and a little apologetic.
"Let me tell you first"
Akina Nakamori stared, opened her mouth, and threatened him with a fierce tone, "Don't say 'I'm sorry', don't say 'It's all your fault', and don't say 'I know'."
She quickly mentioned a bunch of words that Shinichi Iwahashi might say at this time. Akina Nakamori didn't know whether she wanted him to speak or not.
Iwahashi Shinichi looked at her stubborn expression, and for a moment, he was really a little bit calmed by her.
