The old manager, Ben, was never rude. As soon as Okada Yukiko's identity changed, her name was also immediately changed, sealing the identity of "Idol Okada Yukiko".
On the other hand, Shinichi Iwahashi and Akina Nakamori, two old friends of Yukiko Okada, got used to calling her Yukiko. In fact, to be precise, they call her Yukiko's nickname "yukko".
Ben stepped down at the right time and continued to be responsible for communicating with the staff at the concert venue outside and making preparations to receive those who came backstage before the performance.
Nakamori Akina's assistant and makeup artist bowed their heads to say hello to Iwahashi Shinichi. Iwahashi Shinichi's arrival seemed to change the atmosphere in the lounge. Only Nakamori Akina looked at Iwahashi Shinichi for a moment.
After staying, he only talked to Okada Yukiko and didn't pay much attention to him at all.
A pair of good friends met, holding hands and smiling happily.
"I'm so happy that Yukiko-chan can come!" Akina Nakamori said happily.
Okada Yukiko was elated, looking at Nakamori Akina's face, and remembered what Iwahashi Shinichi told her, and was about to blurt out, but suddenly remembered her promise to keep it secret with Iwahashi Shinichi, and quickly changed her words, "I've been looking forward to it for a long time,
Mingcai mulberry."
To some extent, this is a pun.
The two people threw Shinichi Iwahashi aside, and Shinichi Iwahashi had no choice but to sit on the chair brought out for him by his assistant and chat with her.
Akina Nakamori's makeup artist met Shinichi Iwahashi for the first time and was a little curious about him, but more of awe.
Shinichi Iwahashi's plan to poach the young assistant was a great success. After getting the assistant's reply that he was willing to find a new job, he stepped forward to say hello to Kenyin.
Anyway, Akina Nakamori's management contract is still being reviewed, and the assistant is not an important person, but is just a favor. Therefore, the two parties immediately agreed to arrange for the assistant to join Akina Nakamori's personal office.
About to change from being a staff member of Kenyin to being a staff member of Akina Nakamori and Shinichi Iwahashi, the identity of the assistant changed. When he saw Shinichi Iwahashi, he felt duty-bound and took on the job of entertaining him.
Shinichi Iwahashi remained silent, watching Akina Nakamori and Yukiko Okada talking and laughing. After a while, the two of them realized that they had left someone aside and looked at Shinichi Iwahashi.
, and couldn’t help but look at each other and smile.
"Iwahashi-san."
As a result, it was Okada Yukiko who spoke first. She still had a smile on her face and said in a brisk tone, "Today is a nice day!"
When we arrived in Nagoya, the weather did not rain as predicted. Although it was not sunny, there was a faint light among the clouds.
Iwahashi Shinichi also smiled and responded to her words, "When more than 3,000 people gather, there will always be one or two good men and good women."
After listening to Nakamori Akina for a while, she was able to make a good guess. She took two steps forward and approached Shinichi Iwahashi. She held her hands on the table and boasted with a smile, "Speaking of Haruonna, in front of you, there is
one."
Iwahashi Shinichi said "Oh" and pretended to be stupid with her. He looked around and looked for the Haruonna who didn't know where he was.
Nakamori Akina couldn't help but dislike him, "This joke is too cliché, Iwahashi-san."
The assistant was very familiar with the couple, and had seen them bickering like this several times, so he was used to it. The makeup artist heard such a conversation for the first time, and was surprised that the legendary Iwahashi-san would play such a game as if nothing had happened.
Kansai Oji-san’s jokes are a bit funny at the same time.
Although the joke was old-fashioned, it also depended on who said it. However, the two people finally realized that they should leave for the time being, said hello, and left the lounge.
There were only three of them left in the lounge. Okada Yukiko's heart was filled with uncontrollable excitement. There was a series of "Congratulations!"
It seems like Iwahashi Shinichi is deliberately teasing people.
Okada Yukiko stared at Nakamori Akina, her bright and naughty eyes were as moist as if she had put eye drops on her eyes.
It's time to put on makeup, and Akina Nakamori is still naked at this moment. People who come backstage are quite knowledgeable, and they rarely come to say hello before the show starts - so as not to see the true face of the star.
Of course, for Okada Yukiko, Nakamori Akina's bare face is very familiar to her. Thinking of what Nakamori Akina will do at the next concert, she can't help but feel that Nakamori Akina at this moment is different from the past.
Comes even more radiant.
But Nakamori Akina did not let Okada Yukiko carry this "secret". She told her softly but in a brisk tone, "Yukiko-chan, wait a minute, I want to do something on stage..."
Iwahashi Shinichi smiled when he heard this sentence. He was not surprised. In other words, it was expected.
Previously, Iwahashi Shinichi and Nakamori Akina teamed up to play tricks on Okada Yukiko. After that, whenever the two of them had any plans or made any progress, they would always think of her and report to her immediately.
This was the case when she was naturalized. Now, if Nakamori Akina wants to announce her marriage to her fans at a concert, she will not hide it from Okada Yukiko.
"Because Yukiko-chan is very important to me and Shinichi, so I am very, very happy that you can come." Nakamori Akina's tone was sincere. She blinked and looked at Okada Yukiko's wet eyes.
Okada Yukiko pursed her lips, blinked, and her eyes were moist. She wanted to say something, but she also wanted to shed tears for her favorite Akina-san and Iwahashi-san. In the end, when she opened her mouth, she said: "I thought I wanted to keep a secret.
By the time Akina-san announces it on stage."
Akina Nakamori opened her eyes wide, "Huh?"
Okada Yukiko didn't realize at all that what she was doing was to report Iwahashi Shinichi to Nakamori Akina. Three times five divided by two, she told her about Iwahashi Shinichi in advance, and also promised her to keep it secret together.
Secret things are revealed.
Nakamori Akina was stunned for a while after hearing this, and turned her eyes to look at Iwahashi Shinichi. Iwahashi Shinichi smiled and said, "I also want to tease you with Yukiko."
"How childish." Nakamori Akina said of him. After thinking about it, she also complained about Okada Yukiko, "It's childish and mean-spirited."
Iwahashi Shinichi accepted this comment with a smile.
Okada Yukiko finished telling the big story and sat aside obediently. The three of them talked together for a while. Okada Yukiko thought about it and suddenly stood up, "I haven't called my mother yet... tell her,
I will go home after the performance in the evening."
Okada Yukiko’s family attended yesterday’s concert and will not be there today.
She smiled and said "I'm sorry" to Shinichi Iwahashi and Akina Nakamori.
In fact, Okada Yukiko's thoughts are all written on her face. Although she is now twenty-five years old, has rich life experience, and is still a reasoner, she still maintains an innocent side in life.
.
In front of unfamiliar people, Okada Yukiko is of course very decent and will not be seen through so easily.
However, in front of her two most trusted friends, Okada Yukiko is still as innocent as a little sister. Iwahashi Shinichi and Nakamori Akina have known her for too long and are too familiar with her, so they have no idea what she is thinking.
Know it well.
The two of them pretended not to see through Okada Yukiko's intentions at all, watched her walk out of the lounge, and gently closed the door. Now, they were finally alone.
Nakamori Akina propped up her elbows and looked at Iwahashi Shinichi's face. Iwahashi Shinichi could also sit still, so he let her take a closer look first. She had seen enough, and said to Iwahashi Shinichi's face: "
Actually, you did it on purpose."
Iwahashi Shinichi said "Huh?" and asked, "What's intentional?"
"You're pretending to be stupid." Nakamori Akina stretched out her hand, stretched out a finger, and gently touched his hand on the table.
Iwahashi Shinichi looked at the aquamarine ring on her left hand, on her ring finger.
"Wait a minute, do you want to wear this ring on stage?" His eyes fell on the ring.
Akina Nakamori was a little unhappy. She took her hand back and deliberately put it behind her back, "I won't let you see it."
Shinichi Iwahashi laughed at her childish appearance.
It was not that Nakamori Akina didn't know how naive she was, she pursed her lips at him, but she still said again, "Shinichi, you deliberately told Yukiko-chan that you wanted to keep a secret together."
At this time, Iwahashi Shinichi finally answered Nakamori Akina's question seriously, "That's right."
Nakamori Akina will definitely tell Okada Yukiko about this before the concert starts. It is impossible for her to find out about it while watching the performance.
Iwahashi Shinichi deliberately said that to Okada Yukiko because he guessed what Nakamori Akina was thinking.
"Iwahashi-san does this all day long." Akina Nakamori stuck out her tongue at him.
Iwahashi Shinichi thought she was funny, but he didn't answer and just stretched out his right hand. Nakamori Akina pretended to be helpless and put her left hand into his hand.
"Actually, it rained this morning." Akina Nakamori told him.
Iwahashi Shinichi held her hand and listened to her.
"However, it cleared up by noon. Although it was an indoor concert, there were people listening to the sound leakage outside the venue for two days in a row, so it would be great if the rain stopped." Akina Nakamori said.
, his tone became lighter unconsciously.
"After all, our Akina is Haruyo."
Iwahashi Shinichi said this, and Nakamori Akina became a little excited, "Has Iwahashi-san finally noticed the Haruonna in front of you?"
"One mouthful of 'Iwahashi-san'." Iwahashi Shinichi couldn't do anything to her.
Nakamori Akina smiled and squeezed his hand, "I think calling you 'Iwahashi-san' now feels very different..."
"What does it feel like?" Shinichi Iwahashi was curious.
She laughed even harder, knowing that what she said was stupid, "It's like that, I want to introduce you to everyone right away."
