As soon as the door opened, a gentle and quiet little face popped out.
Akina Nakamori took a step back, blinked her eyes, and whispered softly, "You're back."
Iwahashi Shinichi said "Oh" and looked at her expression. He stepped in and handed over the bag in his hand. While taking off his coat, he asked her, "Is mother back?"
Nakamori Akina nodded slightly, "Chiyo-san is inside."
This well-behaved look has not been seen very often since I started dating her. Even when she followed Akina Nakamori back to her hometown and she ran to open the door, she still looked cheerful and childish.
She was used to being pounced upon by paper tigers when she entered the door. At this moment, Iwahashi Shinichi saw her rare well-behaved look and felt a little unaccustomed to it. He apologized at first and said, "Is it okay?"
Nakamori Akina shook her head slightly and smiled at him.
This way, she looked like her. Iwahashi Shinichi felt relieved, reached out and gently took her hand. After holding it for a short while, Nakamori Akina pulled her hand back, hid behind him, and gently
Nudge his back.
In short, it just means following him in.
Although she had actually met Chiyo Iwahashi, as soon as Iwahashi Shinichi came back, she hid behind him again, waiting to be formally introduced again.
For such a little thought, I don't know whether to call her old-school or laugh at her for being naughty.
…
When the doorbell rang, the two women at home knew in their hearts that the person who came was Shinichi Iwahashi. Akina Nakamori subconsciously looked at Chiyo Iwahashi with her eyes, and the task of opening the door naturally fell into her hands.
With Shinichi Iwahashi's girlfriend here, Chiyo Iwahashi was not going to go around her and do things at her son's house. When she came back, she rang the doorbell and Nakamori Akina prepared tea. Now she went to open the door for Shinichi Iwahashi and handed it over to Akina Nakamori.
Do it.
Only when it came to placing the small bouquet of flowers, Iwahashi Chiyo helped Nakamori Akina, trimming the flowers and inserting them into the vase.
Thanks to the vase she found while cleaning the room, Iwahashi Chiyo bought flowers on a whim. And thanks to this small bouquet, the two women who met for the first time did not sit awkwardly opposite each other before Iwahashi Shinichi came back.
However, Chiyo Iwahashi deliberately avoided talking about the identity of Nakamori Akina and her relationship with Shinichi Iwahashi. This made the atmosphere not tense when the two women were alone, but there was no such thing as "the person you are meeting is your boyfriend."
Mother's experience.
To be precise, Chiyo Iwahashi did not regard Akina Nakamori as her "son's girlfriend" when he was getting along with her.
Although Akina Nakamori only has a 0.5 level in many things, she has a keen intuition and a delicate and sensitive person. More or less, when she realizes this, she feels a little confused.
Chiyo Iwahashi was reasonable and amiable, and used a small bouquet of flowers to soothe her anxiety while waiting all night. Akina Nakamori understood her kindness, had a good impression of Chiyo Iwahashi, and respected her from the bottom of her heart.
However, she was not sure how Iwahashi Shinichi's mother viewed her.
Iwahashi Shinichi was in front, and Nakamori Akina was a step behind him, following him into the living room. Iwahashi Chiyo was also waiting to greet him. She was also waiting for her son to introduce him again.
"I'm back, mother." He greeted Chiyo Iwahashi.
Turning his head, he looked at Akina Nakamori, stood aside, and introduced him again, "This is Akina Nakamori-san who is dating me."
"Hello." Akina Nakamori pressed her knees and saluted Chiyo Iwahashi again.
After Iwahashi Shinichi returned home, he solemnly introduced Nakamori Akina. Iwahashi Chiyo listened, but she didn't realize it in her heart. She first let go of the confusion in her heart since she entered the door.
At least, it seems that Iwahashi Shinichi is dating Nakamori Akina, and this is indeed the case.
It was the first time to meet, and it was an unplanned meeting, and there was nothing to talk about in depth.
However, before Iwahashi Shinichi came back, both Iwahashi Chiyo and Nakamori Akina avoided talking about "relationships". After Iwahashi Shinichi came back, he was able to openly talk about "relationships" as a topic.
Come on to the table.
Even so, this matter has never been mentioned before, and both parties are unsure of how far they should go. This means that even if Iwahashi Shinichi comes back, the topic of "dating" will only be discussed outside.
Wandering around and not talking in detail.
However, after Iwahashi Shinichi came back and reintroduced Nakamori Akina to Iwahashi Chiyo, Iwahashi Chiyo's attitude changed slightly.
Akina Nakamori felt that the experience of "meeting her boyfriend's mother" was a bit late compared to when she and Chiyo-san were alone at home, but it had arrived.
In her heart, she suddenly realized the kindness of Chiyo Iwahashi.
…
When my sister came to attack me last year, I was still planning in my mind whether to stay or not. But now, it was obvious that it was impossible not to go back.
That night, I vaguely realized that so many things had happened, but it was actually just meeting Iwahashi Shinichi's mother. However, emergencies were always the most draining of energy. There was also an unexpected meeting, and not long after, she was ready to say goodbye.
Nakamori Akina said goodbye and left, leaving only Iwahashi Shinichi and her mother at home.
"What on earth is going on?" All night long, Chiyo Iwahashi waited to ask her son this question.
Iwahashi Shinichi continued to apologize, "It was my negligence."
"Let's forget about that for now." Chiyo Iwahashi did not pursue the meaning of "suddenly meeting his son's girlfriend". He was just surprised by the identity of his son's girlfriend.
"When I came back, I opened the door and was shocked to see someone who only appeared on TV." Chiyo Iwahashi said, "It was like a situation that only appeared in TV dramas."
Iwahashi Shin nodded. He thought to himself, it was like a part of a prank show.
If in the future, a similar scene appears in the prank show he planned, my mother and Akina Nakamori will probably have a better understanding when they see the show...
If this incident is really made into a program, I don’t know if it will trigger a "beating when mom sees it" or a "paper tiger going down the mountain".
Maybe mixed doubles.
Chiyo Iwahashi noticed her son's nodding and was a little dissatisfied with him, "I should have stated in advance that the person I want to meet is Nakamori-san."
"I was in the car just now, so it's not convenient to talk." Iwahashi Shinichi explained.
After hearing this explanation, Iwahashi Chiyo did not answer.
Iwahashi Shinichi tentatively asked her, "What's your mother's impression of Akina?"
Chiyo Iwahashi did not answer this question, but said lightly, "What impression I have of Nakamori-san is actually not that important."
"Just call her 'Akina'." Shinichi Iwahashi suggested.
Just now, when Nakamori Akina was still here, looking at Iwahashi Chiyo's attitude towards her, it was obvious that she didn't hate her. However, looking at Iwahashi Chiyo's current appearance, Iwahashi Shinichi couldn't guess what her mother was thinking.
"Moreover, my mother's impression of her is not an insignificant matter." Iwahashi Shinichi said.
Tonight, Nakamori Akina's anxiety, anxiety, low self-esteem, and uneasiness, all the emotions he experienced, conveyed to Shinichi Iwahashi that she cared about whether she wanted to please his family.
Wants to be liked and recognized by his mother and family.
Iwahashi Shinichi himself doesn't care. He has never regarded "getting the blessing and approval of his family" as an emotional necessity. Even if his mother really hates Akina Nakamori, as long as he is determined, it won't be a problem.
However, Akina Nakamori cares about it and hopes to be recognized by his family. He has almost no feelings for his family in Shizuoka, but now he suddenly has some kind of bond with his family because of Akina Nakamori.
"I saw her on TV occasionally, and I thought she was not easy to get along with in private." Chiyo Iwahashi said slowly, "The real person doesn't have the airs of a star at all...she is also down-to-earth, sincere, and not frivolous.
.”
As an artist, we are used to seeing all kinds of glamour. In such a flashy world, we are still the top stars, but we don't have any of those bad habits.
Dressed lightly, I came to help Iwahashi Shinichi tidy up the room. Seeing her reaction suddenly made me feel disgusted.
Iwahashi Shinichi laughed when he heard his mother's comments about Nakamori Akina, "Akina will be very happy if she knows that you think of her this way."
When he looked like this, you could tell that he was happy for Akina Nakamori.
Chiyo Iwahashi took her son's reaction into consideration and said, "It doesn't really matter what I think of Nakamori-san." She insisted on calling Nakamori Akina "Nakamori-san".
Iwahashi Shinichi's enthusiasm cooled down a bit, "Doesn't mother like her?"
Chiyo Iwahashi looked at Shinichi Iwahashi who showed some disappointment on his face. Ever since he went to Tokyo, it seemed that he had never seen such an expression on his face again.
The image of a son who cares about his mother's evaluation of his girlfriend and is frustrated by it becomes vivid and vivid.
Was it because of his relationship with Nakamori Akina that Shinichi opened the door to his heart?
Iwahashi Chiyo shook her head slightly, "Nakamori-san is a very nice person."
At first, Iwahashi Chiyo was still wondering if Nakamori Akina's innocence that was written all over her face was just an act. But getting along with her putting flowers into a vase, having a simple conversation, and after Iwahashi Shinichi came back
During our chat and brief time together, I was sure that she indeed had an unthinking innocence and purity.
Instead of being dissatisfied with her, Iwahashi Chiyo likes her. Even if she is not his son's girlfriend, he still likes Nakamori Akina from the bottom of his heart. However, it doesn't really matter whether she likes her or not.
Chiyo Iwahashi told her son, "She is a very good person, so I hope she can be happy."
"ah."
When Iwahashi Shinichi heard her mother's words, she came to her senses and felt uncomfortable. Suddenly she understood why Iwahashi Chiyo emphasized that her impression was "not important."
It was precisely because I had a good impression of Akina Nakamori that I said "it's not important".
"This time it doesn't count." Iwahashi Chiyo said in a relaxed tone.
"I'll just pretend I've never met Nakamori-san," she said. "After I return to Shizuoka, I won't tell your father, 'Shinichi has a girlfriend.'"
"When will you take her back to Shizuoka... It's too late to say anything else and change your name to 'Akina' at that time." Iwahashi Chiyo smiled, seeming to have made up her mind to make this unguarded meeting a success.
Forget about it.
However, Iwahashi Shinichi understood his mother's good intentions towards Akina Nakamori and her good intentions towards his son.
…
Iwahashi Chiyo made up her mind not to mention this meeting again. The next day, Iwahashi Chiyo was going home. Iwahashi Shinichi had something to do and couldn't leave, so he discussed with his mother to send a driver to take her home, but
was rejected by her.
"It's been a long time since I've taken a longer train," said Chiyo Iwahashi. She wanted to take the tram back by herself, not even taking the Shinkansen. She looked like she was going on a trip and was going home now.
"It's rare for a housewife to have the opportunity to travel far away." She was in a happy mood and wanted to enjoy the journey home slowly.
In this case, Iwahashi Shinichi did not force it, but suggested to her, "How about taking a break from work occasionally and coming to Tokyo to relax?"
Chiyo Iwahashi made a "think about it" expression, but did not say whether it was a good idea or a bad idea.
Chiyo Iwahashi is old and rests early.
After her mother returned to her room, Iwahashi Shinichi was worried. It was late at night and she still wanted to go to Nakamori Akina's house. I guessed that Nakamori Akina must be very worried and wanted to know how Iwahashi Chiyo felt about her.
view.
In fact, after finishing the matters at hand tomorrow, he will set off in the evening and has made an appointment with Akina Nakamori to meet in Hokkaido.
Most of the New Year's holiday is spent on socializing. After that, I have to work right away, so I don't have enough time to go abroad. Instead of being stretched, it is better to have some fun in China first, and then save up for a long vacation before going abroad.
Previously, the two of them made an appointment to go to Hokkaido, and it just so happened that they could fulfill their agreement during the New Year.
We fulfilled our "promise in Hokkaido" and made an appointment for our next stop.
However, when something like this happened, he was still the "culprit". No matter what, Iwahashi Shinichi could not wait until tomorrow to talk with peace of mind.
Chiyo Iwahashi made up her mind to forget about this meeting. However, it was expected that Akina Nakamori would be filled with questions about this meeting, holding back a belly of uneasiness and confusion.
Tell him clearly.
His mother was at home, and Shinichi Iwahashi was very cautious when he went out, fearing to disturb her. In this way, it felt more or less like when he was a student and went to meet the girl he liked without telling his parents.
With such an association, Iwahashi Shinichi felt interesting in his heart. He was really like a young man who only cared about his sweetheart and went to see her.
Late at night, she rang the doorbell at her house. Iwahashi Shinichi deliberately opened the door without the key she left behind.
…
Late at night, Shinichi Iwahashi ran to her house. After Akina Nakamori was so surprised, she was filled with the feeling of "it's true".
After being welcomed in by her, Shinichi Iwahashi looked at Akina Nakamori with a smile and opened his arms to her.
Nakamori Akina couldn't help laughing when she looked at his appearance. She put her hands behind her back and pretended to look him up and down. However, she didn't put on airs for long, and suddenly, she pounced on him and jumped into his arms.
Earlier, the gentle and quiet Akina Nakamori who opened the door for him at his house disappeared.
She hugged Shinichi Iwahashi's neck tightly.
"Why are you here?" Nakamori Akina asked him with a smile.
