1089. Who can resist the charm of Tyrannosaurus Rex?!
.......
The novel "Jurassic Park" is on sale.
Compared with the publicity campaign of "Tiger of Ginza" and "The Sound of Neon", this novel related to Naoki Nagayama is much more low-key. It only places booths in conspicuous places in various bookstores, and then sets up posters at the door.
, and just promote it in some dinosaur parks.
During the summer vacation, primary and secondary school students played around all day, so naturally they saw this science fiction novel at first sight.
"Jurassic Park?"
Horikawa Kyohei, a second-year junior high school student, originally came to the bookstore to buy teaching aids. He was stunned when he saw the powerful and domineering cover of this novel. The Tyrannosaurus rex, Triceratops, etc. on it looked lifelike.
"Is this a popular science book about dinosaurs?"
"This is a science fiction novel..." said the store manager who was sorting the books on the bookshelf. "It's very interesting. It was written by Naoki Nagayama~"
"Naoki Nagayama?" Horikawa Kyohei was surprised, "Isn't he a writer of love novels?"
"Who knew... I suddenly wrote a science fiction book~" The store manager also didn't understand the idea of a great writer, "But this novel is very interesting~"
"Oh..." Horikawa Kyouhei shrugged, "I'm here to buy teaching aids and go to a cram school..."
"Okay then, the teaching aids are on the bookshelf inside..."
"Arigado~"
Horikawa Kyohei found the teaching aids requested by the teacher among a pile of books. He originally wanted to pay directly, but his steps slowed down when he passed by the "Jurassic Park" booth.
"It takes more than half an hour to go to the cram school by train... I just bought some and looked at it, just to kill time..."
As a junior high school student, he can naturally buy a novel with his pocket money.
"Store manager Sang, just these two books..."
"Ha, as expected, did you still buy it?" The store manager looked at the novel with a Tyrannosaurus rex on the cover and smiled, "As expected, children your age must like dinosaurs!"
"Actually, I like Gundam a little better..."
Horikawa Yuhei silently explained that since the animation of "Mobile Suit Gundam" was broadcast, neon primary and secondary school students, especially boys, have been very obsessed with Gundam.
"It's just that the figures are a bit too expensive..."
"Yeah yeah......"
The store manager also sighed and nodded, the figures are indeed very expensive...
The store manager didn't react until he agreed, and looked at each other with Horikawa Yuhei, feeling a little embarrassed for a moment... The two of them, who are seven or eight years apart, actually have the same hobbies...
"Ahem...a total of 2,600 yen..."
"Hi, please put it away..."
After loading the two books, Horikawa Kyouhei quickly walked out of the bookstore, avoiding the direct sunlight, and quickly came to the station.
There were not many people on the train at this time, and Horikawa Kyohei was lucky enough to find a seat, and then he took out "Jurassic Park" from his school bag and started reading.
After a while, the stories in the book conquered him. Genes, cloning, ancient creatures... Build a zoo dedicated to raising dinosaurs in captivity, and let everyone buy tickets to watch it?!
Such an unbridled imagination made the originally introverted Kyohei Horikawa feel as if his skull had been cracked open, and he saw an incredible new scenery.
He was concentrating on reading the novel, turning to the next page after reading one page...
The tram stopped and started one after another, and the passengers sat down and left one after another, but none of this disturbed Horikawa Yuhei from traveling in the world of the book and experiencing novelty with the protagonists.
An exciting adventure experience.
until.....
"Terminal station Kitasenju Station... arrived... terminal station Kitasenju Station... arrived..."
Horikawa Kyohei finally raised his head...
"???Nani?!"
When I looked at the name of the station, it turned out to be Kita Senju Station... Horikawa Yuhei's cram school was in Bunkyo, but it was already past Ueno!
Looking at the time again...it's already noon!
He actually stayed on the tram for more than two hours!!
"Ah Bai..." Horikawa Kyouhei muttered to himself as he got out of the car, "I missed the cram school completely!"
Thinking of such an expensive cram school...Thinking of the teacher in the cram school possibly calling home...Thinking of the possible mixed doubles between my father and mother...Thinking that my happy time this summer vacation is about to disappear.
.....
Horikawa Kyohei couldn't help but slumped down on the seat at the station:
But at this time, the feeling of his fingers being pinched reminded him. When he was in a hurry to get out of the car, he had not forgotten the progress of watching "Jurassic Park". He used his little finger as a bookmark to pinch it in the book, and now it was numb.
of.....
"Anyway, I've already read most of it... I might as well finish the rest. I won't be able to watch it when I get home!"
With this thought in mind, Horikawa Kyohei simply got on the return train, occupied a good seat from the departure station, lowered his head and looked at it like this...
Who can resist the charm of Tyrannosaurus Rex?!
In Neon, there are countless teenagers as old as Horikawa Yuhei...
The appearance of "Jurassic Park" made this group of teenagers who were already curious about new things fall under the charm of Tyrannosaurus rex. Even older high school students and college students bought the product out of curiosity.
this novel.
Adults with more mature psychology have seen the discussion of scientific ethics and the thinking of life philosophy in "Jurassic Park".
There is also a satire on human greed and arrogance, as well as a reverence for nature... It is precisely because of these that the novel "Jurassic Park" has not become a simple children's science fiction book.
More and more people have bought the book "Jurassic Park" and have become very curious about the author Naoki Nagayama.
.......
The afternoon sun was hot and bright, but the temperature-controlled Sanzakaku-in was very comfortable.
The light coming in from the window, after passing through a layer of screens, became soft astigmatism, rippling like undulating water.
The baby in the crib has just been breastfed and is lying on the soft mat writhing, stretching his arms and legs in all directions and making unknown sounds from his mouth, as if he is trying to grab a toy hanging from the top of the crib.
.....
Naoki Nagayama and Akina looked at each other from both sides of the crib, and from time to time they would reach out and grab the baby's hand to tease...
"Hey...when will you call me mommy..." Akina sighed beside her, "In addition to crying and laughing, I just drink milk and sleep..."
"It's only been more than half a month, how can it be so fast~"
Nagayama Naoki smiled and said,
"It seems that you can only speak when you are about one year old..."
"That will still take a long time..."
Akina seems to have lost some weight...after all, she has to get up several times every night to feed her baby.
However, there is another nanny in Yamazakura, so Nonaka Mari can take more care of mother and daughter, so that Akina will not be too tired.
"Children grow up very fast~"
"Is this an emotion only experienced by older people? Why do you feel like you are middle-aged, Naoki-san..."
"..."
My mental age is already fifty years old~
He turned around and looked at his wife's smooth skin... Sure enough, being young is good. Even if she was pregnant and had a baby, she recovered quickly...
Now that Akina has given birth to her baby, she is actually in good condition, and her body is much plumper...
Nagayama Naoki's thoughts began to wander unconsciously, and his heart began to stir... After all, although his mental age is very old, his body is only in his twenties...
"Naoki-san, what's wrong with you?"
Akina stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Nagayama Naoki's eyes, causing Nagayama Naoki to come back to his senses. The pure look in his eyes actually made Nagayama Naoki a little ashamed... He was still in confinement!
"Well..." Nagayama Naoki quickly changed the subject, pointed at the baby in the crib and said to Akina, "Don't look at Hana-chan's big eyes now... In fact, she can't see clearly now.
of!"
"??"
Akina glanced at Xiao Natsuka's black and white eyes, reached out and touched Natsuka and saw Natsuka smiling, and felt that Nagayama Naoki was lying~
"Nonsense, Huajiang is laughing when she sees me..."
"The eyes can only see changes in light and shade, and maybe some shadow outlines..." Nagayama Naoki explained, waving his hand over the baby a few times, "She smiled because she heard your voice and smelled it.
It tastes like you..."
"Can you still smell it?"
"Of course..." Nagayama Naoki gently tapped the baby's nose, "Same as Yutaro..."
"..."
As a mother, Akina rolled her eyes and took Naoki's father's hand aside.
"Hua Jiang, let's ignore dad..."
"Dingling bell~"
Just as the two of them were playing with their children, the phone in the living room rang.
"Moses Moses, this is Yamazakura-in...."
Nagayama Naoki picked up the phone and returned.
"Naoki-san, this is Honma Architectural Design Office~"
Takashi Honma's voice came from the microphone.
"Ah, Honma-san... Sashi ignored..." Nagayama Naoki greeted quickly, "Are you back from abroad?"
"...I've been back a long time ago...Didn't you make an appointment to meet at the architectural design office?" Takashi Honma said, "...Has Naoki-san forgotten?
Is it done?"
"Forehead......."
"Naoki-san also said that we should give some opinions before designing...Have you forgotten this?!"
"..."
Forgot completely!
Only then did Nagayama Naoki remember that when Akina's water broke and she was about to give birth to a baby, he actually happened to be holding the trial version of "Jurassic Park" to give to Honma Architectural Design Office for reference.
But as a series of things happened, he had indeed forgotten all about it!
"Alas..." Takashi Honma sighed, "Naoki-san, your "Jurassic Park" was released today, and I also bought a copy to read..."
"Ah, well... I originally wanted to send a trial version to Honma-san..."
"It doesn't matter anymore..." Takashi Honma said, "Naoki-san, the survey on the uninhabited island has been completed, we have drawn the topographic map, and we are about to start designing..."
"The reason for this call is to confirm that it is indeed designed to be similar to "Jurassic Park", right?"
"Hey, it's true." Nagayama Naoki gave a clear reply, "I hope this can become a real Jurassic theme park in the future...
In addition, the novel "Jurassic Park" will definitely be adapted into a movie in the future, and I also want to film it on this island..."
"I see..." Takashi Honma understood, "Then we try to ensure that it is consistent with the description in the book when designing..."
"Hey, I'm sorry to bother Honma-san~"
"Silly tape, the customer is God..."
Takashi Honma naturally has to serve the big customers of his office with a smile.
"The schematic renderings will probably be available at the end of the month, and the overall design drawings are expected to be completed before the end of the year... Is there any problem with Naoki-san at this time?"
"No, there is no problem at all..."
"Okay, let's meet with Naoki-san again before the end of the month to finalize the renderings..."
After Takashi Honma finished talking about the business, he continued to chat for a while about several projects he had designed before...
For example, how is it to live in Sanzakura-in after the renovation? Is there any aging in Samadhi-in? Is the courtyard of Koyo-in more lush? The garden of Lake Toya Resort...
These well-designed residences are carefully crafted by Honma Design Office.
After hanging up the phone and chatting for almost half an hour, Akina asked curiously:
"Naoki-san, what's going on over there Honma-san? Why have we been chatting for so long?"
"Let me tell you about the design progress of the uninhabited island..." Nagayama Naoki said, "By the way, let's talk about other properties..."
We talked about the Red Fish Garden and the holiday house... This also aroused Naoki Nagayama's thoughts...
He came to Akina and put his arm around her shoulders:
"Speaking of which... we haven't had a vacation for a long time... The Red Fish Garden is so beautiful, and the hot springs at Lake Toya are also very comfortable... but we didn't enjoy it much...
..”
"Yeah...it's been a long time since I went on vacation!"
Speaking of this, Akina also felt a little emotional...
Before I married Naoki Nagayama, I had a lot of work and no time to take vacations, and it was even rarer to go on trips together.
After getting married, I suddenly had to wait for labor and give birth to a child again...and now that the child is born, I have to take care of the child again...
Why do I feel like my time has been taken up all of a sudden!
"But if we go on vacation..." Akina looked at the baby on the crib, "What should I do with Hana-chan?"
"..."
Looking at the lively little Natsuka, Naoki Nagayama had no choice. It seemed that after giving birth to a child, everything about adults would be tied to the child...
"Then wait until Huajiang grows up, leave Huajiang at home, and the two of us go out to play... just the two of us, without this little guy!"
Nagayama Naoki looked at the little meat dumplings angrily and said in a pretended way,
"Did you hear me...I won't take you with me!"
Seeing Naoki Nagayama like this, Akina couldn't help laughing and patted her little husband gently.
At this time, the baby in the crib seemed to feel the malice from his biological father. His mouth tightened and he started crying...
"Wow~~~Wow~~~"
"Hey? Why are you crying?"
Nagayama Naoki was confused by the baby's move, and quickly took Xiao Xiahua's hand to coax her.
"Hua Jiang, Hua Jiang, I was just joking! I'll take you with me... wherever I go!"
But the little guy in the crib threw away Naoki's father's hand and cried even louder. Naoki Nagayama really thought for a moment that it was his own words that made the little guy cry.
"Hua Jiang, be good... When you grow up, daddy will take you to see dinosaurs, okay? Tyrannosaurus Rex!"
".....Wow~~Wow~~"
The harsh crying woke up Taro Taro, who was taking a lunch break, and he looked up.
"Haha~" Akina observed and patted Naoki Nagayama on the shoulder, "It's the bed wetting! Go get a diaper!"
"Oh~"
The young couple in Shanyingyuan immediately started the process of changing their child's diaper in a hurry.
Taro, who was lying on the verandah, turned his head and looked for a while, then lay helplessly on his forelimbs, gasping for air with his mouth open~
Ever since the daughter of the Yongshan family was born, his status in the family has plummeted. The male owner no longer plays with him, and the female owner holds the baby every day...
He, Taro Taro, was once a baby too!
No one cares about him now, only he and Mew Taro depend on each other...
