If you want to know how to make an origami giraffe, you can write it in your reply. I called Akina Nakamori specifically because she wrote about her cold in the letter.
As a result, after a greeting, it turned into a failed teaching lesson.
"No……"
Iwahashi Shinichi said sorry, and Nakamori Akina subconsciously wanted to say something, but as soon as the conversation started, she suddenly found this mutual apology situation interesting and couldn't help but laugh.
Hearing Nakamori Akina's laughter on the phone, Shinichi Iwahashi thought about the situation and found it funny.
The two of them laughed together across the phone. After laughing, they coincidentally fell into silence.
When making a phone call, no one could see anyone's face. Akina Nakamori was not good at making phone calls, but she didn't want to hang up like this. She held the phone and wanted to say something more, but hesitated.
"that……"
"What?" Shinichi Iwahashi looked like he was listening.
As a result, as soon as he reacted, Nakamori Akina seemed to throw the ball to him and said in turn: "You have to say it first."
This nonchalant tone was as if the two people in the current situation were waiting for the other to speak. Iwahashi Shinichi was stunned for a moment when faced with the ball that was suddenly thrown over.
Nakamori Akina, who threw the ball to him, quietly breathed a sigh of relief on the other end of the phone and showed a mischievous smile, proving with practical actions the true truth of escaping is shameful but useful.
Shinichi Iwahashi caught the ball, half helpless and half amused. However, he could also sense the subtle mood of Topo Star on the other side who didn't want to just hang up the phone.
After thinking about it, I still mentioned the origami giraffe just now, "I couldn't explain it clearly on the phone..." Originally, this method of teaching handicrafts over the phone was not feasible, and it was really hard for her to be able to make gestures for so long.
"Or," he originally wanted to ask Nakamori Akina the name of the origami reference book she was using, but when the words came to his lips, he changed his mind, "If there is a chance in the future, how about teaching me how to fold in person?"
In the past, I could get her to recommend origami reference books, but after she worked so hard to sell them, she would probably feel discouraged if she put aside her previous efforts and went to read origami reference books.
Akina Nakamori's reaction also said it all.
After hearing what Iwahashi Shinichi said, she happily agreed, "Of course..." her tone paused, and she couldn't tell whether she was confident in herself or not, "If I show it to you in person, I should be able to figure it out.
"
"Even if I'm not a qualified teacher, Shen Yijun has such a good mind that he can understand it at a glance." She muttered.
Iwahashi Shinichi was amused by her words. He couldn't help but feel a little curious in his heart, what kind of image he had in this Taopusida's mind.
"With such high expectations, I have to worry about making a fool of myself from now on." He was half joking and half serious.
Akina Nakamori followed his words and said, "Don't worry, even if you really make a fool of yourself, I won't laugh at you." However, when she said this, she was already smiling.
Shinto Iwahashi is so smart, he will definitely not be able to do a small skill like origami.
However, if he was really stumped... Nakamori Akina thought that she had never seen Iwahashi Shinichi in trouble, and she felt a faint expectation in her heart to see him really be stumped.
The sense of anticipation made her blurt out: "The cold should be gone next week. Can I see you then?" She was like a child who wanted to play a prank, and couldn't wait to see if her method would be successful.
In fact, because of her sudden curiosity, Nakamori Akina suddenly had the idea of learning more complicated origami crafts.
Even if he failed this time, there would always be a day when he could be stumped... She thought childishly, but the more she thought about it, the happier she became.
Iwahashi Shinichi was also happy to play this kind of game with her and agreed, "Okay."
So Nakamori Akina went to get her schedule, and Iwahashi Shinichi also opened his itinerary. The two of them discussed the time to meet on the premise that "Nakamori Akina's cold will be cured next week."
The location was decided by Akina Nakamori.
Iwahashi Shinichi said, "I was honored to serve you before, and the two snacks were delicious, so I trust your ability in choosing a store."
Akina Nakamori was very happy, "Please don't worry."
This tone has the flavor of a shopping street kid again.
On the phone, Shinichi Iwahashi didn't mention the new single she sent, and Akina Nakamori didn't say anything either. This may not be called a tacit understanding.
There is a tacit understanding that since you have received the "questionnaire", you should write down your "tasting impressions".
After putting down the phone, Shinichi Iwahashi picked up the new single. Taking advantage of his free rest at night, he put the record into the record player and pressed the play button.
The smooth melody and deep voice flow in one go, like flowing water.
After listening to the title song, the b-side song followed.
The song is called "bilitis", bilitis. Speaking of bilitis, this word has always been associated with lesbianism. The love of bilitis, the daughter of bilitis, etc. are all "female"
"homosexual" reference.
The reason why Bilitis is roughly equivalent to lesbianism must be mentioned in the prose poem "The Song of Bilitis" by the French poet Pierre Louis.
This prose poem describes the life of the goddess Bilitis, and a considerable amount of it describes the love life between Bilitis and the same sex. For this reason, the earliest lesbian organization called itself "Bilitis"
Daughter of Bilitis".
So, this is a lily song?
While Shinichi Iwahashi grasped the key points, the intro of the song sounded, which was completely different from the title song. It was not a smooth flow, but full of impact and momentum.
It is said that there are quite a lot of female fans of Taopu Star. I don’t know how I feel after hearing this song... However, considering that Akina Nakamori is so small, before she opened her mouth, I would never have thought that her singing voice was so deep and powerful.
Powerful.
Quite handsome.
She is completely different from the soft, hoarse-voiced girl on the phone just now.
Shinichi Iwahashi listened to the entire single, went to find paper and pen, and wrote a reply to Akina Nakamori. Although they made an appointment to meet next week, that was the deal.
Since it’s a taste test, I’ll write it down on paper and send it back.
Iwahashi Shinichi does not find it troublesome to keep writing letters, but rather enjoys it. The reason for this is probably because when writing letters, he does not need to weigh the pros and cons like he does at work. He only needs to write down what comes to mind.
Can.
I work my way around the industry with my bare hands, and I have to be cautious at all times.
He was so stressed at work that writing a letter to her became a wonderful way to relax himself. He also wrote piecemeal like Nakamori Akina did in the letter.
…
In this November, there is another important event, the wedding of my sister Iwahashi Asako and Narita Hiroyuki.
Iwahashi Asako and Narita Hiroyuki booked a reservation at the New Takanawa Prince Hotel, and the naturalization application was submitted on the day of the wedding, so before then, she could still be "Iwabashi" Asako for a while.
After the wedding, it will be "Narita Chaozi".
When a married couple gets married, they have to unify their last names, which Iwahashi Shinichi thinks is boring.
Although there was a situation where locusts were critically ill and a self-imposed order was issued, the wedding had been prepared several months ago and the hotel was booked in advance. At this time, it was complied with.
Couples who have booked their wedding date and hotel in advance have other things to say. However, couples who are still in the marriage negotiation stage have to postpone their wedding due to the self-imposed order and the national mourning that will happen at an unknown time.
Getting married requires a lot of energy. If you muster up the energy to get it done in one step, it is done. If you keep putting it off like this, it will be very easy to delay and hesitate, and eventually break up.
Iwahashi Asako and Narita Hiroyuki, a couple who calculated carefully, did not delay anything. Iwahashi Shinichi, who was the younger brother, breathed a sigh of relief for his sister and thought of his sister and brother-in-law's performance in preparing for the wedding.
I was enjoying it, and I secretly thought about it, what would happen to the two of them if the wedding was postponed due to the self-restraint order?
Ms. Liang Cuiping can not only give people the courage to enter the siege, but also speaks the true truth that there is no if.
Iwahashi Asako and Narita Hiroyuki, who have not delayed anything, remain motionless. However, among the couples-to-be who have postponed their weddings due to the self-restriction order, there are probably not a few who secretly curse Tianlu.
At the wedding, a total of about 300 people, including the couple's relatives and friends, will be present, which is by no means a small crowd.
It costs a lot to hold a wedding, and the gift money required to attend the wedding is not a small amount. The bigger the wedding, the more money the wedding attendees will give.
Immediately after the wedding banquet, the price of the return gifts prepared for the wedding attendees also increased. In short, the improvement of the level of one link is a series of chain reactions.
…
The day after he sent the letter to Akina Nakamori was Friday, and in the evening, Shinichi Iwahashi went to a dinner party attended by the Iwahashi family and the Narita family.
The wedding was on Saturday. After the dinner party, the prospective couples went to their respective parties on the eve of their bachelorhood.
Masaaki Iwahashi and his wife came to Tokyo from Shizuoka, and the Narita family also came from Utsunomiya.
At the stage of discussing the wedding date, the parents of the two families had met several times. It was the first time for Iwahashi Shinichi and Narita Hiroyuki's younger brother and sister-in-law and each other's families to meet each other.
Hiroyuki Narita is an elite Dentsu man who graduated from Tokyo University, while his younger brother who stayed in Utsunomiya has mediocre academic performance, just like the two siblings of the Iwahashi family.
But seriously speaking, the fact that Narita Hiroyuki's younger brother did not study hard is also related to his early decision to inherit the family business. There are many family factories or old stores in Japan, and children are often prepared to inherit the family business.
They rarely read seriously.
In today's era, for some extreme self-employed people, it is enough for their children to attend junior high school. It doesn't matter how they go to high school. Going to college is even less interesting. They have to come back and inherit the family business anyway.
The whole family of both parties attended the dinner together, and the atmosphere was very polite.
The meal was quite reserved, with the parents on both sides talking politely and communicating about tomorrow's wedding.
Tomorrow's wedding is scheduled for 11:30. There are a lot of things to prepare before arriving on time. We have to go to the hotel lounge early in the morning to prepare.
Invitations were sent out long in advance, and guests who came from Nagoya, Osaka and other places had booked hotels for them.
Almost everyone was talking about these things during the entire dinner.
My brother-in-law, Shinichi Iwahashi, was not only an absolute spectator, but also the only bachelor in the whole party. Hiroyuki Narita married late, so as a younger brother, there was no need to jump ahead. He just had to let nature take its course and be one step ahead of his older brother.
The most active person at the table was Hiroyuki Narita's sister-in-law. She heard that Shinichi Iwahashi was working in the entertainment industry, and out of a spirit of gossip, she asked Shinichi Iwahashi many industry news.
Dealing with this kind of thing is a piece of cake. Iwahashi Shinichi will answer all questions. As for whether it is true or false, it doesn't matter. Even the people who ask these gossips may not be really interested in the truth or falsehood of the gossip.
…
At the end of the dinner, it was still early, and the parents of both parties went directly from the restaurant to the hotel where they were staying. Hiroyuki Narita's sister-in-law wanted to change places to play, so she called her younger brother, and they left first.
Asako Iwahashi, Hiroyuki Narita, and Shinichi Iwahashi, the three of them were waiting for a taxi on the side of the road.
"Shinichi-kun, by tomorrow, I will be your real brother-in-law." Hiroyuki Narita seemed to be in a good mood and took the initiative to talk to Shinichi Iwahashi about this.
Things like the night before the wedding, the worries before saying goodbye to being single, etc., had nothing to do with this man. On the other hand, Iwahashi Asako, her husband and her brother were chatting next to each other, and she didn't interrupt, she just listened.
However, after all, they are just three workaholics, so it is impossible for them to get together and chat about everyday things.
After chatting for a few words, Narita Hiroyuki's topic turned to the self-restraint order. After the self-restraint order was promulgated, TV advertising was hit hard. In this regard, Narita Hiroyuki, as a Dentsu man, naturally has a profound experience.
"Previously, there was a line in a chocolate commercial shot by Kudo Shizuka-chan, 'The day has finally arrived!'. After it was aired, it was urgently canceled because it was suspected of being cursed..." Hiroyuki Narita mentioned.
Iwahashi Shinichi thought that even "So happy! So happy! I love it so much!" could be accused of being cursed to death. It would be strange if such a line that is easily associated with it is not withdrawn.
However, the people who filmed the commercials and those who planned the commercials were all wronged. The planning was decided early in the morning and the script was written in advance. Who could have imagined that something like this would happen.
"Your entertainment industry has been severely impacted this time," Hiroyuki Narita said.
Iwahashi Shinichi replied, "Indeed. Everyone is in a state of bewilderment and dare not act rashly."
While her fiancé and her brother were chatting, Asako Iwahashi was watching for taxis.
At this time, it's Friday again, so it's hard to find a taxi.
"anyway."
When talking about TV commercials, Iwahashi Shin thought of the band's next promotional plan and took the initiative to mention, "At this stage, during the advertising period after the New Year, manufacturers are probably in a wait-and-see state, right?"
