The next weekend, Hamasaki stayed at home, waiting for his mother Akiko's arrival.
Iwahashi Shinichi and Nakamori Akina were getting ready to go out. Hamasaki went to get Nakamori Akina's shoes. When he came back, he saw her reaching out to smooth out the wrinkles of Iwahashi Shinichi's shirt, and stood there for a while.
Iwahashi Shinichi was joking with his wife: "Xiaoguang went out early... and didn't want to go to Chieko's house with me."
Utada Hikaru made an appointment with Maiko today, and the two children didn't know what kind of adventure they were going to go on. Utada Hikaru has always been tight-lipped about his own affairs.
Akina Nakamori revealed the girl's little thought: "Hikari doesn't want to go with us."
Iwahashi Shinichi smiled and acquiesced to his wife's statement.
It is not suitable for a couple to take a child back to his wife's natal home. What's more, the wife is pregnant. Hamasaki understood Utada Hikaru's approach in a subtle way.
Having been under the same roof for so long, they are both children who have stayed in the Iwahashi family. Although they are very different from Utada Hikaru in many things, there are always some similarities between the two. Perhaps, only between these two girls,
Only then can we understand each other.
Hamasaki Ayumi doesn't hate Utada Hikaru, and she can't say whether she likes her or not. However, she knows that this girl is smart and exquisite, and she probably sees everything clearly.
Ayumi Hamasaki couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable when he thought of this.
She thought that if Utada Hikari's recent changes were due to her seeing everything clearly, then Utada Hikaru's recent sudden change in attitude when facing her was probably because her heart was realized by this child.
What did Utada Hikaru notice?
A strange question popped up in Hamasaki's mind. However, when she thought about this, she did not reject Utada Hikari's approach.
Shinichi Iwahashi saw Ayumi Hamasaki standing there and said to her: "When you see Zhang Zisang, please say hello to me. If she is not in a hurry to return to Fukuoka, it would be best if we could meet and have a cup of tea together."
He sounded like he was about to call his parents, very old-fashioned.
"Until then, Ayu-chan, have fun." Akina Nakamori smiled and supported her husband.
Is this kind of singing and harmony a tacit understanding between the couple?
The fact that a new life was about to come to the Iwahashi family had a shock to Hamasaki, and she was so frightened that she took a step back. Taking a step back, she accidentally saw a whole picture that she had never seen before.
…
Before going out, Nakamori Akina called Chieko. With this last preparation completed, the couple walked out of the house. Ayumi Hamasaki, who stayed at home, was waiting for a call from his mother Akiko and went to meet her.
Until Zhang Zi's call, she would be the one looking after the house during this period.
The daughter calling her mother and the daughter waiting for her mother's call. The coincidence of this moment is not uninteresting. On the way there, Akina Nakamori had a sudden idea and told Shinichi Iwahashi.
"That's quite a coincidence." Shinichi Iwahashi also smiled.
He told Akina Nakamori: "It's been so long since the summer vacation, and Ayu hasn't mentioned whether to go back to Fukuoka. I'm still thinking about it. Zhang Zisang can come here, which saves me from worrying."
There was a hint of helplessness in Iwahashi Shinichi's tone that he couldn't do anything to an adolescent girl.
Nakamori Akina was thoughtful after listening to her husband's words. She suddenly mentioned: "That child said, 'You shouldn't come to Tokyo.'"
When his wife mentioned Hamasaki's rebelliousness again, Iwahashi Shinichi felt a little bored and casually replied: "It's just that she was excited at the time and didn't hesitate to speak."
Akina Nakamori broke the news: "It's precisely because Ayu said it sincerely that she doesn't mention returning to Fukuoka now."
Shinichi Iwahashi seemed to be dragged into a sticky topic by his wife. He did not answer the topic. However, it was not because he was unhappy, but because he acquiesced to what his wife said.
In fact, on the other hand, during this summer vacation, Hamasaki Ayumi didn't mention a word about returning to Fukuoka, which just shows that this girl has really made a decision about staying in Tokyo.
"Ayu is a good boy." Akina Nakamori said, "Because he is a good boy, he is always competing with himself."
Competing with yourself, the other side of this coin is actually not wanting to cause trouble to others.
If things don't go as expected, that's another story.
Although Hamasaki Ayumi's rebellion caused waves in the Iwahashi family a few days ago, Nakamori Akina has always been tolerant of her. However, at that time, Nakamori Akina's gentleness and patience came more from the tolerance of adult women towards young girls.
.
Since becoming pregnant, she has had the realization that she is about to become a mother. Suddenly, Nakamori Akina has a more subtle understanding of Hamasaki's previous awkwardness and rebellion. The girl's rampant emotions are wrapped in a more subtle understanding.
Something delicate and delicate.
This girl didn't remember much, but her father ran away from home and was never heard from again. She neither had any memory of her father nor did she have any deep memories, which left a hazy shadow in her heart.
She had not felt her father abandoning her for many years, but she had imagined her father in Iwahashi Shinichi. When she tried to find the shadow of her father in Iwahashi Shinichi, the hazy image left in her heart
The shadow was cast on Iwahashi Shinichi. So, when Iwahashi Shinichi turned a blind eye to her, she truly felt the pain of being abandoned by her father.
Her struggles and erratic emotions are a manifestation of her confrontation with this non-existent thing. It is precisely because those things do not exist that her various actions and behaviors appear willful and willful.
She also wanted to become a mother, and Akina Nakamori had a deeper understanding of these subtle emotions. When she realized this, she couldn't help but feel more love for Hamasaki Ayumi.
Iwahashi Shinichi also realized the change in his wife's attitude. He said, "Why are you suddenly siding with Ayu?"
Akina Nakamori didn't like his wording and asked, "Was I not considerate of Ayu before?"
Iwahashi Shinichi smiled, "That's not what I meant." He paused and said, "These days, Xiaoguang and Ayu share their anger."
"..."
"This is a good thing." Shinichi Iwahashi explained, "It's not that Xiaoguang's attitude towards Ayu has changed, it's that Ayu's own thoughts have changed."
"This child is very special. He has to work to support the family since he was a child. It is better to say that he is a daughter of a woman's family, but she is a 'little woman' from the beginning."
It was the first time that Shinichi Iwahashi talked about Hamasaki Ayumi so frankly, "In the final analysis, she is a child after all. Many of her inner conflicts come from here. But this child's personality would rather be bent than bent, so she cannot be easily restrained."
On the way to see Chieko, the couple unexpectedly started talking about the girl living at home.
The two of them seemed to have different ideas, but in fact, they were considering the same thing.
