The hand-knitted sweater fit unexpectedly well. Iwahashi Shinichi praised her, "I didn't expect the craftsmanship to be so good."
In fact, it's not as good as he praised...
At this time, Akina Nakamori felt humble in her heart. She walked around Shinichi Iwahashi to confirm the width of the clothes, the length of the sleeves, and the fit, and then she felt that she had really given the gift away.
"Have you been knitting for a long time?" Shinichi Iwahashi asked her.
Akina Nakamori thought for a while, "I have been knitting little by little for more than two weeks since December." At the same time, she expressed her worries, "I paused, and I was worried that the knitting would not be beautiful enough or fit well enough.
"
The work at the end of the year is plentiful and intensive, and it is not an easy task to prepare hand-knitted gifts. Shinichi Iwahashi understood her thoughts, "It fits perfectly, as if I measured it with a soft ruler."
After hearing this, Akina Nakamori smiled. She thought to herself that of course she knew his size very well.
Iwahashi Shinichi raised his elbow and looked at it, "What's the color of this?"
"Gray blue." Nakamori Akina replied. He listened, nodded, and then asked, "If I want to wear this to go out, what color is better for my coat?"
After a pause, he started to push further, "...How about I ask you to help me match it up? Okay?"
I ordered a hand-knitted sweater and wanted to match it with a complete set. This is the king of soft rice, Iwahashi Shinichi.
But she couldn't stand Nakamori Akina and just fell for his tricks. Iwahashi Shinichi said this, and she happily agreed, "Just leave it to me." She patted him on the shoulder and said, "I will make you look handsome..."
However, she also had her own little idea, "Then, how about going out to play together during the New Year holiday?"
"Okay." Iwahashi Shinichi agreed. After thinking about it, "But if you want to wear this sweater to play, you can't go to places like Hawaii." He said a cold joke seriously.
Akina Nakamori couldn't help but dislike it, "What a boring joke."
"Yeah?"
Nakamori Akina's little face came close to him, "Yes, that's right~"
Shinichi Iwahashi held her face and said to her, "Merry Christmas, Akina."
Akina Nakamori couldn't help but laugh. The two were facing each other, and she looked at Shinichi Iwahashi, laughing endlessly. Shinichi Iwahashi laughed and felt uncertain, "Did I say something strange?"
She smiled and denied, "No. Rather, I am very happy."
The temperature in the room was not low. Shinichi Iwahashi was wearing a sweater and started to sweat. He wanted to change out of the sweater, so Nakamori Akina, who was getting playful, had to help him.
How can I help by taking off my sweater? It's just an opportunity to play tricks on people.
At Christmas, Shinichi Iwahashi also prepared a gift for Akina Nakamori.
However, when he was going to get it, he was stopped by Akina Nakamori. She said "wait a moment" and ran back to the bedroom. After a while, she ran back in a hurry.
He held a large woolen sock in his hand.
"I knitted this after I finished knitting the sweater." She showed off the red and white woolen sock to Shinichi Iwahashi, "I'll hang it on the bedside later, waiting for Santa Claus to put the gifts in..."
She looked very happy, as if she believed more than anyone else that there really was a Santa Claus in this world who would put gifts in her socks on Christmas Eve.
Of course Akina Nakamori doesn't believe that there really is a Santa Claus in the world. However, because Iwahashi Shinichi is by her side tonight, she believes it more seriously than a child in kindergarten.
That being said...
"Is this sock too big?"
Iwahashi Shinichi looked at the Christmas gift socks in her hand, which were more than three sizes larger than ordinary socks.
Regarding the Christmas gifts, the most he could do was show an expression of "I knew it already" when Akina Nakamori took them out, unlike Akina Nakamori, who was so sure that even the guy who put the gifts was ready.
Nakamori Akina made a lot of nonsense, "We must also consider that the gifts prepared by Santa Claus are very big, and ordinary socks can't fit them in." With this tone, I really don't know whether to say she is greedy or considerate of Santa Claus.
Iwahashi Shin was half speechless, half amused. He took the sock from her hand, looked at it, opened the sock opening, and made a gesture on his head.
This little gesture made Akina Nakamori laugh. As she laughed, she said to him, "It's too old-fashioned to treat yourself as a Christmas gift, isn't it?"
"But," Lord Akina Nakamori said, "Shinichi, if you plan to give it away, I will kindly accept it."
Iwahashi Shinichi saw her majestic and proud look, with a subtle expression on her face. Nakamori Akina couldn't hold back her anger and asked him to look at her like this for a while, then she came closer to him and said, "Why do you have such an expression?"
Iwahashi Shinichi imitated, "Why do you act like you've known it for a long time?"
"What do you know already?" She asked subconsciously, "You really don't plan to give yourself as a Christmas gift, do you?" When she thought about it, she felt incredible at first.
Is this something Shinichi Iwahashi can do?
...of course not.
Nakamori Akina was thinking in a daze, and Iwahashi Shinichi saw her foolish appearance, and suddenly couldn't wait. He stretched out his arms, pulled her into his arms, and looked for her lips.
Being suddenly attacked, Nakamori Akina's arms hugged him tightly as if she was eager to find support. After being sticky for a while, Iwahashi Shinichi urged her in her ear, "Go take a shower."
Akina Nakamori said "hmm" and patted him on the back, signaling him to let go.
In short, I just don’t want to be too tired when taking a shower.
Iwahashi Shinichi went to wash it first and then put her in. When he entered the bedroom, he saw the ridiculously big Christmas stocking hanging on the side of the bed where she slept.
He thought about Akina Nakamori's childishness and smiled. He felt that she was pure and cute.
However, she knitted Christmas Eve socks early because she believed that there were real gifts. She did not believe in Santa Claus, but in Shinichi Iwahashi.
Before she came back, Iwahashi Shinichi went to get the Christmas gift he had prepared, grabbed the opening of the sock, and put it in.
After taking a bath, Akina Nakamori seemed to have washed away all her childishness, recklessness, and pride. She walked lightly to Shinichi Iwahashi.
At this moment, in front of Shinichi Iwahashi, there was no doubt that she was a charming and expectant woman. Akina Nakamori looked at him, blinked her eyes, her eyes were moist and lingering, and her eyes seemed to be covered with the mist of hot water.
Iwahashi Shinichi reached out and took her hand.
…
There was work at nine o'clock in the morning the next day, and Omoto had agreed in advance to pick her up before eight o'clock. If Iwahashi Shinichi had breakfast here, he would probably bump into Oben.
Last night before going to bed, when setting the alarm clock, Iwahashi Shinichi told her to go back and have breakfast.
But Akina Nakamori felt bad about letting him go back with an empty stomach. She got up early in the morning and went to prepare breakfast for him while Shinichi Iwahashi was still asleep.
Women who can do this to this extent during a relationship are 100% the target of ridicule in this day and age.
But Nakamori Akina doesn't feel that this is going too far at all, and she is not worried that her courtesy will be looked down upon by Shinichi Iwahashi. She just loves Shinichi Iwahashi from the bottom of her heart. While feeling loved by him, she also wants to do everything for him.
things that can be done.
If the person in front of her was Iwahashi Shinichi, she could run forward without looking back. She just believed that he would be caught firmly by his warm embrace and did not think about whether the result would be a bloody head.
She stood up lightly and took a look at the Christmas sock hanging on the bedside. After seeing it from last night's scene, looking at it now, it was indeed an exaggeratedly large sock. It was almost asking for a gift.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but smile. Then, as if she was worried about alarming Iwahashi Shinichi, she stopped smiling and her eyes fell on his sleeping face.
"I like you the most ~ Shen Yi."
Akina Nakamori was lip-texting stupidly in front of this ignorant sleeping face. While talking, she wanted to laugh a little. Thinking that time was being delayed again and again, she quickly got up.
On the woolen socks on the bedside, you can see the outline of something put inside. When was it put in? Nakamori Akina thought about what happened the night before, took off the socks, and put her hand in.
Ten minutes to seven o'clock, Iwahashi Shin will come together.
After working hard all night, I feel like sleeping in. However, firstly, today is Monday, and secondly, this is not my home. Not only that, but getting up so early is just to break up with Akina Nakamori’s agent.
I want to clear things up with Yanyin quickly, and I can sleep with her as long as I want from now on.
Iwahashi Shinichi yawned and set a New Year's goal. He glanced at his pillow and found that it was already empty. Even the ridiculously big Christmas stocking was gone.
He left the bedroom and went to find Akina Nakamori. As expected, she was in the kitchen.
"Good morning, Shen Yi." She was full of energy.
In contrast, Iwahashi Shinichi was slovenly and slovenly. Iwahashi Shinichi said "hmm" and blinked his dull eyelids, "Good morning." When he didn't wake up, he was extraordinarily thick-skinned. He stretched out his arm and put it on his face again.
She gave him a hug.
Nakamori Akina laughed at him, "Nianxiajun is listless."
Iwahashi Shinichi turned a deaf ear. So she leaned into his ear as if she was worried that he wouldn't be able to hear her words, "Thank you for your hard work~"
One hundred percent intentional.
Shinichi Iwahashi said something, and his hands were about to be dishonest. As a result, he was slapped away. Akina Nakamori came out of his arms, went around behind him, and pushed his back, "So, please hit me."
Cheer up and go to the bathroom quickly."
"President-san!" she pretended.
Iwahashi Shinichi was pressed in front of the sink by her. From the mirror, he could clearly see her overjoyed expression. After cleaning up and coming out, he went to change clothes. Nakamori Akina prepared breakfast for him.
"I probably don't have an appetite so early, so please take it away. For convenience, I've prepared sandwiches." She explained.
Iwahashi Shin nodded and went to pick up the breakfast, which was specially wrapped in furoshiki.
Nakamori Akina laughed at him, "Why do you have a face that doesn't know what to do?"
"Have it?"
"You are so serious." She said matter-of-factly, "I feel like it won't be strange to say anything the next second."
Iwahashi Shinichi was amused by her tone. Nakamori Akina patted his arm and looked at him with a smile, "This is the right thing. As I said, Shinichi, you look best when you smile."
"Yeah." Shinichi Iwahashi listened, "I'll bring it back to you later." He was talking about the crisper box for the sandwiches and the furoshiki.
"There's one more thing." Akina Nakamori said.
Iwahashi Shinichi waited to hear what was going on. She spoke plausibly, "When you choose a necklace as a gift, you have to help put it on with your own hands."
"Necklaces, rings,... in short, when giving jewelry to girls, you have to put it on with your own hands. You can't just put it down and leave. Do you understand?" Akina Nakamori seemed to be giving a love class.
Her appearance is more interesting than what she says.
"I know now." Iwahashi Shinichi suppressed a smile.
Nakamori Akina looked at his face and snorted, "You must have thought me a fool again, right?"
He didn't deny it either.
Akina Nakamori wasn't upset, so she acted like a fool and handed Shinichi Iwahashi the jewelry box he put in her Christmas stocking last night back into his hand and turned around.
Iwahashi Shinichi put it on for her and gently hugged her from behind.
"So easy." Nakamori Akina whispered, "I may be a fool, but you, Shinichi, must always pretend to be stupid."
Iwahashi Shin heard her thoughts in his ears, which made her laugh, and he hugged her harder.
"Mingcai."
"What?"
"The person I like most is you." He whispered.
In the morning light at the beginning of the day, she heard Iwahashi Shinichi confessing to her. Nakamori Akina felt happy, but her eye circles were sore. She raised her hand and put it on his arm. She raised her voice and said in a lively tone, "Where's Akina? I like it the most.
You are also the person.”
She deliberately imitated the popular way of speaking among young girls nowadays.
Iwahashi Shinichi hugged her tightly, and when he smiled, he sent the shock of his laughter to her.
"And one more thing……"
After sending him to the entrance, Akina Nakamori brought it up again like a greedy man who asked for too much.
Iwahashi Shinichi didn't feel impatient at all and asked her, "What?"
"Wouldn't it be a pity to only use that Christmas sock once?" Akina Nakamori said to him, "I'll have to hang it on the bedside on Christmas Eve next year."
"Then next Christmas Eve, we need to prepare bigger gifts." Iwahashi Shinichi cooperated with her.
There was a bit of pride in her eyes, but she said generously, "Actually, the size of the gift does not matter."...The intention is more important. And the most important thing is that she and Iwahashi Shinichi have made an agreement to spend next year's Christmas Eve together.
"besides……"
Iwahashi Shinichi looked at her, "Is there anything else?"
Akina Nakamori chuckled and waved to him, "Be careful on the road, President-san!"
…
President Sang spent Christmas Eve and fell into the final busyness of the end of the year. The world was busy carousing, and he was busy making money down to earth.
On December 29, the Nikkei Index reached an unprecedented 38957.44 points. At the close, the entire stock exchange was in jubilation. Great prospects unfolded in front of the reveling Japanese people. Before the old year was over, their eyes seemed to have already
I saw the wonderful weather in the New Year.
Then on the 31st, the day of great darkness comes.
On this day, or rather this year, Shinichi Iwahashi's last two jobs are to go to the Record Awards as a producer to receive his planning award, and then to dress up as a giraffe man and attend the red and white show on New Year's Eve.
