The city on weekdays and the streets at night are quiet and quiet.
The two held hands and walked slowly. Iwahashi Shinichi heard the soft sound of the kimono fabric rubbing, and he didn't know whether it was the quiet environment that made him feel peaceful, or whether it was his inner peace that made him feel the tranquility of the environment.
The two of them unknowingly strolled to the cherry blossom tree.
Akina Nakamori raised her head and said, "It's Sakura."
The couple stopped at the same time. Iwahashi Shinichi did not look at the cherry blossoms, but turned his attention to Nakamori Akina who was looking at the cherry blossom tree in front of her.
Akina Nakamori turned her head, glanced at her husband beside her, and suddenly showed a cunning expression - at a glance, you could tell what evil idea was coming to her head. She took her hand out of Shinichi Iwahashi's hand, stepped forward, and walked
Go under the cherry blossom tree.
The cherry blossoms illuminated by the street lights exuded wonderful colors and textures, which unexpectedly complemented the satin fabric of the kimono. Iwahashi Shinichi saw it in his eyes and felt it was strange. Although before setting off, he said something about "kimonos and cherry blossoms"
"The perfect match", but for a foreigner like him, there is nothing special about cherry blossom viewing.
It wasn't until he saw Akina Nakamori in person wearing a kimono, standing under the cherry blossom tree, that he truly understood it.
Previously, whenever the cherry blossoms were in full bloom, Iwahashi Shinichi was indifferent. I heard that Akamatsu Haruko would go back to Kyoto to enjoy the cherry blossoms, and I thought Kyoto people were making a fuss about it. But once at this moment, I truly realized the beauty of cherry blossom viewing.
, you will have a new understanding of these things.
Iwahashi Shinichi was surprised by the new discovery brought to him by his wife. Nakamori Akina looked at him with a smile, turned her head and focused on the cherry blossom tree she met by chance.
As he walked forward, Nakamori Akina suddenly confessed to him: "I like Hokkaido."
Iwahashi Shinichi said "hmm" and answered her: "I like Akina."
Akina Nakamori smiled brightly, but she did not forget to take the opportunity to joke: "Iwahashi-san can talk now."
Iwahashi Shinichi was helpless, "At times like this, what's the point of a mouthful of 'Iwahashi-san'?"
Akina Nakamori blinked her eyes and pretended to be stupid with him, "I thought you would focus on 'now'." This Taopusida finally found the trick to argue with her husband.
Iwahashi Shinichi looked at her complacent look and couldn't help but stretched out a finger and poked her forehead.
Akina Nakamori was not annoyed, but instead held his finger with a smile.
"I like Hokkaido." She said again. Her tone paused, "Although I have always liked Shenyi, but when I came to Hokkaido, I became more fond of you."
Shinichi Iwahashi smiled at her, "In that case, we might as well just stay in Hokkaido."
"Here we go again." Nakamori Akina seized the opportunity and continued to tease him, "Iwahashi-san can always say nice things anytime, anywhere."
Iwahashi Shinichi was helpless, "To you, what else can I say other than this?"
Nakamori Akina took his hand and stepped forward. She happily said, "But... I like what you said, Shinichi." She seemed to murmur.
But because the two people were close to each other, even if they spoke in a low voice, Iwahashi Shinichi could hear them.
"Since we like Hokkaido, let's buy a vacation villa in Hokkaido."
Iwahashi Shinichi spoke on the spur of the moment, and Nakamori Akina stopped in her steps and said "Huh?". Iwahashi Shinichi laughed at her, "She looks like a big sister."
Akina Nakamori was not convinced, "It's Shinichi you're trying to scare people."
"I'm serious." Shinichi Iwahashi brought up the old story, "Didn't you say before that you wanted to give Akina Sangada a more adult gift?"
"For a bigger gift, of course it should be something powerful." He deliberately showed a little bit of pride.
Nakamori Akina was amused by him and said to him: "If it scares people, it is a great success."
Iwahashi Shinichi asked her: "So, how is it?"
The idea of buying a vacation villa in Hokkaido came to Shinichi Iwahashi on a whim when he was still in Sapporo.
The huge waves set off by the bubble era also left a considerable mark in the far north. When the bubble burst, areas far away from the city center felt like the winter in the snow country, dull and intense, but because it was too long,
As for the intensity gradually, I only felt the dull impact.
Shinichi Iwahashi was reading the local tabloid during the day and when he read the information about the land transfer, he was moved by this idea.
When the cherry blossoms in Tokyo have stopped blooming, you can do it if you want to see them on a whim. This alone is enough to be a reason. What's more, not only Akina Nakamori, but he also likes Hokkaido.
"You ask me what I think..." Akina Nakamori smiled. She breathed a sigh of relief and answered him, "If it's a gift from you, of course I'll accept it."
For a child in a shopping street, receiving a holiday home as a gift will inevitably cause some instinctive resentment towards the prodigal son. But for a wife, there is no reason why she should not happily accept such a gift from her husband.
In addition, there was a girl living in her house in Tokyo who disturbed her heartstrings. This incident, invisibly, changed Akina Nakamori's past thoughts and made her feel involuntarily moved by the gift that Shinichi Iwahashi was going to give.
But even Nakamori Akina herself was ignorant and unaware of this. Iwahashi Shinichi had no way of knowing his wife's subtle thoughts, but since he had obtained Nakamori Akina's consent, he began to plan in his mind and give her the gift the next day.
The clerk in Tokyo called.
The two of them liked walking when they were dating. Today, as long as they walk side by side, they don't feel bored until they are tired.
You can't walk fast in a kimono, and the more you do this, the more likely you are to feel tired.
Iwahashi Shinichi held Nakamori Akina's hand and took small steps with his wife. The phrase "You can't have your cake and eat it too" came to mind and he couldn't help but chuckle.
"Have you thought of anything good?" Akina Nakamori asked him.
Iwahashi Shinichi replied: "I was thinking, if I had known I had the opportunity to wear a kimono, I would have prepared one for me." He joked about Nakamori Akina's lies to fool people before going out, "Just prepare what you said, the style that married men should wear.
."
"...Iwahashi-san is so stingy," Nakamori Akina complained.
Iwahashi Shinichi smiled and accepted his wife's harmless complaints, becoming more and more enthusiastic as he spoke, "It would be more conspicuous if both husband and wife went out wearing kimonos."
This time, it was Nakamori Akina's turn to tease him: "It's like Shinichi said, just pretend you're going to a wedding."
"It seems that Akina-san is not generous either." Iwahashi Shinichi replied.
The two people talked about allusions that only each other could understand, and subconsciously looked at each other. When their eyes exchanged, they both laughed.
The warmth and tranquility brought about by the connection between each other lasted until the two of them sat and rested in a street pub, and continued until they returned to the hotel where they stayed.
As soon as Iwahashi Shin handed the coat he changed into to his wife, he subconsciously looked at her kimono outfit. Although he also wanted to help his wife, after looking at it again and again, there was really no use for him.
"Are you going to change clothes?" he asked.
Akina Nakamori hung up Shinichi Iwahashi's coat and asked him instead, "Do you want Shinichi to take a shower first?"
Shinichi Iwahashi said "hmm" and put his hands on her waist. Akina Nakamori leaned into his arms. From outside to inside, her hands touched the material of the kimono. Different temperatures brought different tactile sensations.
Nakamori Akina imagined Iwahashi Shinichi's intentions for liking her in kimono, but she did not avoid it. On the contrary, it was Iwahashi Shinichi who smiled as if he had surrendered and admitted defeat to her: "I can't untie the belt of your kimono."
Is it because of what happened before the trip that he is like this?
When Akina Nakamori had such a ridiculous idea in her mind, she couldn't tell whether it was Iwahashi Shinichi or herself who was causing the quarrel.
The more Iwahashi Shinichi behaves himself, the more Nakamori Akina becomes intolerable.
She actually felt a desire that was irresistible.
"Forget it if you can't untie it." When Akina Nakamori opened her mouth, she said words that sounded like she was angry.
When Iwahashi Shin heard what she said, his fingers dug into the complicated belt of his kimono. He knew that what he was doing was in vain, but he still had to take action.
He was reckless and confused, and Akina Nakamori felt her heartbeat tremble and hugged him tightly.
"Shinichi, you are so narrow-minded." He was obviously the one who was harboring all his worries, but Akina Nakamori just hit him instead, which was inexplicable.
Iwahashi Shinichi smiled softly and asked her: "Do you miss me so much?"
"It's a fact." Nakamori Akina continued to speak harshly.
Iwahashi Shinichi asked her: "So, it's because I'm petty that you're unhappy?"
"Am I unhappy?"
Iwahashi Shin nodded, and Nakamori Akina heard the swishing sound of her temples rubbing together and quietly puffed up her cheeks.
"At least, it seems that he is quietly having trouble with me." Iwahashi Shinichi said.
Akina Nakamori's little mood couldn't be hidden from him. However, she was very happy along the way, but she was secretly fighting in some inexplicable place. The reason for Akina Nakamori's change in mood was unknown to Shinichi Iwahashi.
Nakamori Akina murmured: "If you tell me this, now it's not a secret quarrel."
Iwahashi Shinichi made her laugh, "Then, why are you so awkward?"
"I don't know." Akina Nakamori didn't think twice, she simply lied, "Just think that I am a moody woman..." She grabbed Shinichi Iwahashi's fingers that were doing useless work on the kimono belt, "Don't move, it's itchy."
"I can't untie your kimono belt." Shinichi Iwahashi said again.
When Akina Nakamori heard this sentence just now, she thought it was a sign of him giving in, and she hated him for being so easy to do so. But now, when she heard it, she suddenly felt that it was a signal for help sent by Shinichi Iwahashi.
Who is the person causing the quarrel?
Such thoughts flashed across Nakamori Akina's mind again. She raised her eyes and looked at Iwahashi Shinichi's face, "I think..."
Iwahashi Shinichi said "Huh?" and looked into her eyes.
Nakamori Akina told him: "I want to wear this kimono...with you."
