He said that as long as he wears the ring he gave me, isn't the ring he gave me always on his finger?
Nakamori Akina tried on the aquamarine ring on the ring finger of her left hand and looked at it. It fit just right on this finger. She was bored, so she raised her eyelids and saw herself in the mirror, as if she had been caught red-handed.
, made a face in the mirror, took off the ring, and held it in his hand.
If you want to go to an outdoor performance, it's better to dress more casually. In early autumn, you should avoid dark colors... She thought about it in her mind, muttering to herself, changing her clothes, and choosing a hat.
"Kenta~!"
She raised her voice and the puppy playing in the living room heard it. He forgot his toys and ran over with his tail swung. Akina Nakamori bent down and touched the puppy's head, "Get ready to go, Kenta!"
The puppy had an extremely accurate idea of going out to play. He looked excited after hearing this, as if he was Wang Jiang who only understands human speech.
"I'm going to see Shinichi Pana~"
"Woof woof!!"
With this reaction, it seems that he still remembers the name "Shen Yi".
Facing the puppy she was interacting with, Nakamori Akina seemed to have forgotten that this panda couldn't understand human speech, so she teased it and said in a long tone, "And~ Chieko-san."
Kenta ran away from her and went to rummage through the box containing his things. Being ignored by the puppy, Nakamori Akina later realized what a stupid thing he had done. However, he did not feel ashamed at all, but was filled with pride.
She was so proud that she took her out of the house and went to Chieko's place, still beaming with joy. Seeing her like this, Chieko laughed at her, "She looks like a child going on an autumn outing."
Nakamori Akina didn't feel embarrassed, and answered her mother with a bit of pride, "It's exactly the same as when I was looking forward to going on autumn outings when I was a child." However, now it's with Shinichi Iwahashi, not with school classmates or family members who act together.
Chieko saw her daughter's expression in her eyes and wanted to continue laughing at her, but she couldn't help but feel relieved. She stretched out her hand and called to the puppy, "Kenta-kun, this way."
Sometimes the puppy brought to her mother by Akina Nakamori still remembers Chieko. In other words, the puppy is used to meeting strangers, being taken to the workplace, or being fostered in a pet shop and living like this.
Be more mature.
Iwahashi Shinichi and Nakamori Akina made an appointment to meet in her hometown, have lunch with Chieko, and then set off from here. The older Chieko gets, the more childish she becomes. I heard that the two of them went out on dates, bypassing her agent and assistant.
, gearing up to help out on the side, and if necessary, I can probably send the two of them to the music festival in person.
Last night, when Akina Nakamori called Shinichi Iwahashi, after conveying her mother's enthusiasm, Shinichi Iwahashi answered her with a smile, "If that's the case, you have to prepare Chieko-san's share of the ticket."
"If that were the case, my mother would definitely wave her hands vigorously and say, 'I don't want to be a light bulb to help!'" Behind her mother's back, Nakamori Akina perfectly imitated Chieko's tone of voice.
In fact, my mother's enthusiasm is mostly due to her desire to join in the fun.
Chieko is physically weak and has no ability to protect her daughter and her boyfriend.
However, Chieko, who lives alone at home, is separated from her husband, and her children are also scattered. Although her life is free and comfortable, it is also a bit monotonous. This kind of imagination is, in a sense, her fun and some unexplainable expectation.
.
...I hope Akina and Iwahashi-kun can be happy.
Akina Nakamori silently looked at her mother who was teasing the puppy, and then she opened her mouth and said, "Iwahashi likes to eat fried hamburgers made by her mother the most." Taking advantage of Shinichi Iwahashi's absence, she tried her best to arrange him, "We agreed to come over.
Just thinking about it from the bottom of my heart."
She said this as if Chieko's fried burgers were not her favorite.
Chieko certainly knows what her daughter likes best. It is precisely because the mother and daughter understand each other that Nakamori Akina would like to say that the person who likes fried burgers is Iwahashi Shinichi.
This subtle affection made Chieko feel that her daughter's reaction was interesting in her heart. She listened with a smile and said, "As long as Iwahashi-kun doesn't feel bored."
Akina Nakamori replied quickly, "I won't get tired of it."
With this unthinking tone, he confidently answered for Shinichi Iwahashi. After he finished speaking, he realized how unreasonable he was. This time, he finally felt embarrassed and went over to act coquettishly with Chieko.
"Iwahashi doesn't seem to like Chinese food very much."
Akina Nakamori pouted, thought about it, and said something.
Chieko listened patiently, "Really?"
She nodded repeatedly. When we went to a Chinese restaurant together, it seemed that it was not to his liking.
…
Before noon, Iwahashi Shin and his friends came to Chieko's place to have some food.
It's been a long time since I've been to Akina Nakamori's hometown. When I arrived at Kiyose Station, I subconsciously glanced to the side and saw that the building where the Nakamori family lived had changed its entrance.
The past has disappeared, and the large Nakamori family gathered in this building seems to have dispersed.
Iwahashi Shinichi relied on his memory to find the house where Chieko lived. After entering the yard, he pressed the doorbell. Not long after, the words "Here it comes~" floated out from the crack in the door, along with a faint smell from the kitchen.
Fireworks.
The door opened, revealing Nakamori Akina's little face.
She dodged and let Shinichi Iwahashi come in, "You came here quite early."
Iwahashi Shinichi smiled, "It's not very early."
Nakamori Akina nodded and teased him, "Shinichi, you know it yourself, 'it's not very early'."
...Okay, just wait here.
Shinichi Iwahashi had no choice but to keep his mouth shut and muddle through. Every time he visited her hometown, Akina Nakamori became more arrogant and showed off her true qualities as a paper tiger.
Of course, not in front of Chieko.
"Lunch will have to wait a little longer," Akina Nakamori told him.
The puppy that was playing alone in the living room heard the noise and ran out, jumping around at Shinichi Iwahashi's feet, very excited. Shinichi Iwahashi was very happy to see the puppy and said, "Kenta brought it too."
."
It's okay for the young couple to take their dog back to their hometown.
Iwahashi Shinichi thought for a while and asked her, "Will you leave Kenta here later?"
"I made an agreement with my mother, and then she will send Kenta back." Akina Nakamori told him, "My mother will stay at my place in the evening."
Iwahashi Shinichi said "Oh", "I understand."
Nakamori Akina stared at him intently, trying to see something from his face. Iwahashi Shinichi stopped following her behavior and just let her look at him as if nothing had happened.
Until this paper tiger, who couldn't get any benefits, became discouraged and muttered to him, "How cunning."
Anyway, if he didn’t respond, he would be called cunning. If he reacted, he would be teased by her. Iwahashi Shinichi simply put his mind to it, bent down to pick up Kenta, walked across the aisle, and stood outside the kitchen to greet Chieko, "Excuse me, Chieko-san.
."
Chieko, who listened to the conversation between these two people, laughed in her heart that her daughter had lost another round to Shinichi Iwahashi, with a cheerful look on her face, "Welcome, Iwahashi-kun."
But what made her find it even more interesting was that Shinichi Iwahashi was dressed differently today than when he came over for dinner in the past. She also wondered whose "credit" this was.
Mother and boyfriend united, Nakamori Akina puffed her cheeks at Iwahashi Shinichi's back, squeezed past him, and entered the kitchen, "It'll be ready soon, please wait a moment."
How childish.
Iwahashi Shinichi thought silently. He said hello to Chieko again, and took Kenta into the living room. They played games while waiting for the meal.
While he was playing, Akina Nakamori walked in and brought him some tea, "Please use it, President-san."
Iwahashi Shinichi was a little speechless, "What are you talking about?"
She finally let him go, lay down next to him, raised her right hand with a smile, "Let me show you." The aquamarine ring was on her finger.
Shinichi Iwahashi followed suit and straightened his back, "Let me show you."
Nakamori Akina laughed happily. She laughed heartily a few times, then thought about her mother who was right next door. She opened her eyes wide and stopped for a moment. This funny look was probably made by her deliberately to tease Iwahashi Shinichi.
…
After the plates were removed, the three of them, plus the puppy Kenta, chatted in the living room. With company, Chieko was in a good mood and full of energy. She didn't take a lunch break and didn't feel tired.
"The new album will be released soon." She confirmed with two people.
Nakamori Akina answered faster than Iwahashi Shinichi, "Including today, there are exactly ten days left."
"I'm looking forward to it now." Chieko smiled.
Iwahashi Shinichi praised Nakamori Akina, "Akina's performance is quite good. It is indeed an album worth looking forward to." He said and smiled, "Because the protagonist is Akina, I can shamelessly say 'worth looking forward to'."
He affirmed Akina Nakamori's talent. Chieko felt even happier after hearing this. Akina Nakamori looked at her mother's happy expression and said, "As for Akina, my performance is good, but Shinichi, the producer, is also quite powerful."
Shinichi Iwahashi smiled and said of her, "In front of Chieko-san, she spoke unscrupulously."
"What does it matter?" Chieko couldn't help but smile, "I like to hear such big words the most. First, I must be confident, and then I can impress the audience."
Iwahashi Shinichi nodded seriously, "That makes sense...it's Chieko-san after all."
Chieko smiled even more happily, "I like to hear flattery the most." In front of Iwahashi Shinichi, she tried her best to be a girlfriend's mother who loves to listen to flattery.
There was laughter and laughter in the living room, but the puppy Kenta was the first to notice the movement. He barked "woof" twice and ran out. The next moment, he heard a sharp scolding, "Where did the puppy come from!"
Chieko and Akina Nakamori stood up almost at the same time. Mother and daughter exchanged glances. Akina Nakamori took the lead and walked out of the living room, shouting: "Kenta!"
The person standing above the entrance is my sister Akiho Nakamori.
Seeing her sister Akina, the expression on Nakamori Akiho's face was slightly stiff, but it immediately softened, showing a little bit of pride that she had understood everything.
Under the entrance, in addition to women's flat shoes, there is also a pair of men's shoes.
There is another man in the living room.
Nakamori Akiho thought that she had betrayed her sister Akina and brought a man back to visit her mother, and suddenly she felt a sense of joy in her heart. It was as if the things Nakamori Akina had carefully concealed were easily exposed by her.
"I'll come back to see you, mother." Nakamori Akiho greeted Chieko who came out behind Nakamori Akina, paused, and then looked at Nakamori Akina again, "Sister Akina."
A smile appeared on her lips, "Are there any guests here?"
I haven’t heard from Akiho for a long time. Even her mother, Chieko, doesn’t know what she does now. Occasionally, mother and daughter chat and talk about her. All they know is that Akiho rented a house with her friends in the Setagaya area.
It’s been a long time since I last saw Akina Nakamori. It’s been so long that Akina Nakamori didn’t know how to react.
Shinichi Iwahashi is in the living room.
Nakamori Akina looked at the playful smile on her sister's face, and suddenly felt an unknown anger. Then she remembered what Shinichi Iwahashi told her at that time.
"Keeping your dream is your fight against Ming Sui-san."
Now, Iwahashi Shinichi is her dream. Nakamori Akina also smiled, with a cheerful look, and said in a brisk but firm tone, "I brought my boyfriend back."
Chieko was listening on the side, feeling the aura of her daughter, and was speechless for a moment.
The expression on Nakamori Akiho's face suddenly looked bored, "That's right." She told Chieko, "If there are guests, I will go back first... Next time, choose a time when there are no guests."
"Don't you want to have a cup of tea together?" Chieko asked in an attempt to persuade her.
The delicate atmosphere between the two daughters puts the mother caught in the middle in a dilemma.
Nakamori Akiho shook his head, "Next time, if we bump into someone unexpectedly...please take me to say hello..." She stopped talking, turned away, changed her shoes, and exited.
The door was closed, and no one chased her out. She sneered, stood in the yard, and looked towards the living room. On the other side of the window, there was a young man sitting inside. He was not a celebrity entertainer.
At this moment, the person on the other side of the window seemed to be aware of her gaze, turned his head, and looked over. Akiho Nakamori reacted, but that moment seemed to be just an illusion, and the man turned his head again.
Then, two figures appeared at the door of the living room, and Nakamori Akio hurriedly took steps. The boredom in her heart became deeper and deeper, and she felt that her mother was already in Akina's camp.
…
After two o'clock, an ordinary Golf parked outside Zhongmori's house.
On Saturday night, Mitsuo Iijima was called again by Shinichi Iwahashi to arrange his schedule for Sunday. He drove his own car to Kiyose City and picked him up to watch the music festival.
In Kiyose City, that family's surname is "Zhongmori".
On the way here, Iijima Mitochi made up his mind to "not look, not listen, not think." It didn't matter what the truth was. Anyway, he just listened to Iwahashi Shinichi's orders unconditionally.
With her mind stable, when Shinichi Iwahashi and Akina Nakamori got into her car, the Tao Pustar greeted her with a smile and said "Thank you for your hard work", Mishima Iijima just responded with a blank expression.
.
"Let's go." Iwahashi Shinichi ordered.
Mijima Iijima has a good mouth and a smart person, which is why Iwahashi Shinichi likes to use her the most.
