Finally meeting Iwahashi Shinichi, Nakamori Akina felt happy and relieved that the two of them could be alone for a while.
The concert was about to begin, and she was not worried about announcing a big event, but only had the joy and expectation of sharing a big event.
When the time comes, Iwahashi Shinichi will sit in the audience, accompany her, support her, and complete the same life event with her.
At this time, Iwahashi Shinichi suddenly said, "Yukiko's phone call lasted long enough."
Nakamori Akina reacted, funny and helpless at the same time - with Nianxiajun's intelligence, couldn't you guess why Okada Yukiko wanted to make a phone call?
She couldn't help but sigh, and commented seriously, "Shenyi, you are really pretending to be stupid."
Iwahashi Shinichi smiled at her words, "It's not bad."
...At this time, he became humble. Looking at Nakamori Akina's expression of being unable to do anything to him, he suddenly withdrew his hand. Under Nakamori Akina's curious eyes, he put his hand into the pocket of his coat and took out
Got a small box.
“The second time I bought it, I felt more calm than the first time.”
Shinichi Iwahashi was almost talking to himself. The box was opened, and the diamond ring was shining brightly. He blinked at the ring, raised his head, and looked at Akina Nakamori. The two were facing each other, but they didn't know what to say.
alright.
Akina Nakamori also imitated him, blinked, and then asked, "First time, second time?"
Only then did Iwahashi Shinichi admit, "Before I came to Nagoya to see you for the first time, when I went to buy a ring, I felt confused."
The first time I gave the ring as a gift was in Nagoya, and the second time I gave the ring as a gift was still in Nagoya.
Is this a coincidence?
But it's not so much a coincidence as it is a variety of things and various factors that come together to eventually become inevitable.
Akina Nakamori kept asking, as if she was teasing him on purpose, "What about the second time?" She tried her best to hold back her laughter, and she was also moved by Shinichi Iwahashi's unexpected move.
Although Nianxiajun always feels that he has no chance of romance, in fact, Nakamori Akina is often caught off guard and moved by him.
"It's much easier this time." Shinichi Iwahashi cooperated with her, "All in all, I just want to buy a beautiful big diamond ring."
Nakamori Akina finally couldn't hold it back and laughed out loud at his exaggerated words. She laughed and asked, "Are there any diamonds that aren't beautiful?"
Iwahashi Shinichi also smiled, but did not answer directly, "You will know if it looks pretty when you wear it on your hand."
Akina Nakamori handed over her hand, using actions instead of words. Shinichi Iwahashi took her hand and took off the aquamarine ring for her, then put the diamond ring on her left ring finger and looked at it.
Akina Nakamori withdrew her hand and looked at the dazzling diamond ring between her fingers.
"It's very beautiful." Iwahashi Shinichi's eyes did not leave her hand.
Akina Nakamori replied, "The most beautiful diamond was given by you, Shinichi...it's so disgusting." She complained about herself first.
The two people faced each other, looking at each other and laughing at the silly things they said. Nakamori Akina herself said something silly, but she criticized it and commented on Iwahashi Shinichi, "Shinichi, every time you want to do something serious,
Always say something that you have or don’t have.”
"Really?" Iwahashi Shinichi accepted her comment and found it interesting.
It seemed that Nakamori Akina knew him better than he did himself. He held the aquamarine ring between his fingers. For a moment, he didn't know whether to return it to her or put it into a diamond ring.
in the box.
Akina Nakamori opened her palm to him, and Shinichi Iwahashi took a moment and put the ring into her hand. After taking the ring, Akina Nakamori stood up, leaned towards him across the table, and put her hand into Shinichi Iwahashi's coat.
After groping for it, he put it into the inner pocket of his coat.
"Please take good care of it for me..."
She smiled and patted Iwahashi Shinichi on the shoulder. Their faces were very close. She looked at him and couldn't help but lean in and kiss him.
Okada Yukiko's phone calls are probably almost finished.
…
When the announcement of the opening of the concert begins to sound inside and outside the venue, the atmosphere in the lounge will change. When Akina Nakamori is fully immersed in the preparations before the concert, Iwahashi Shinichi's unexpected move, and what will happen during the performance
Things announced midway were temporarily put aside.
Only when I was working with the makeup artist to complete the makeup and hairstyle, the dazzling diamond ring on the left ring finger was reflected in the mirror, making this seemingly ordinary preparation before the performance become special.
As for what happened to the diamond ring that suddenly appeared on Nakamori Akina's finger, no one among the people rushing around her was curious.
Rather than saying that the constraints of professional ethics suppress curiosity, it is better to say that it is a kind of understanding.
Who else could it be besides Iwahashi-san?
As soon as the announcement of the opening of the concert rang and the backstage staff started busy, Shinichi Iwahashi and Yukiko Okada did not stay in the lounge for too long, so as not to affect Akina Nakamori's work.
Naturally, family members who came to watch the show received special treatment. Old manager Omoto arranged a lounge for him and Okada Yukiko, so they could wait until before the show started and then go to the front.
Besides, before the show starts, someone must come backstage to say hello to Akina Nakamori. Waiting in the lounge for a while can avoid unnecessary social interactions. Shinichi Iwahashi doesn't want to turn the backstage of Akina Nakamori's concert into his own greetings
social scene.
Shinichi Iwahashi took a ticket for a related person this time and was assigned a related person seat.
When Yukiko Okada retired from the concert, he and Akina Nakamori were in the audience looking at Yukiko Okada on the stage. This time, he and Yukiko Okada were in the audience looking at Akina Nakamori on the stage.
.
Before the performance started, the two people entered the venue from the related channel. The venue, which accommodates more than 3,000 people, was full. It was a fully enclosed indoor venue. While waiting for the concert to start, the atmosphere felt like water was about to boil.
It was discovered that the person coming was Iwahashi Shinichi, and around the auditorium, whether it was the people in the related seats or the people in the ordinary seats close to the related seats, there was a big commotion.
A sharp-eyed person among them recognized that the young woman who came with him was Okada Yukiko, who had retired for a long time and now turned into a popular mystery novelist. After all, she was Okada Yukiko's hometown.
However, just like the ripples on the water surface will subside no matter how big a stone is when thrown into the water, as Shinichi Iwahashi and Yukiko Okada took their seats, the commotion naturally subsided, and the audience's attention was once again devoted to the performance.
in waiting.
When the lights in the venue went out, the first burst of cheers erupted from the audience.
Amidst the cheers, Iwahashi Shinichi heard Okada Yukiko say: "I'm so nervous!"
