But now that it’s here, it must be fast and enthusiastic.
When Nagayama Naoki drove out, he could still see some faint glow, but when he arrived at Nakano District, it was so dim that he couldn't see the leaves of the street trees on the roadside~
However, in a city that never sleeps with neon lights everywhere, the last thing you need to worry about is not being able to see at night.
There are rows of street lights on the road, emitting a warm yellow light, guiding the traffic ahead; there are shops beside the road, emitting colorful and magnificent halos, attracting pedestrians; glass windows between high-rise buildings,
There are dots of stars in the sky, illuminating the hardworking white-collar workers.
Looking further up, if you are lucky, a bright moon will shine high in the sky, spreading a cool glow, covering the brightly lit city at night with a silvery veil, soothing the restless hearts in the city that never sleeps.
.
"The moonlight is so beautiful tonight~"
Naoki Nagayama looked at the bright moon above his head and sighed.
The cool breeze of the summer night blows on the face, icy, like silk sliding across the face,
"The wind is also very gentle~"
.......
Arriving not far from Nakano's apartment building, Nagayama Naoki called Akina in the phone booth as usual.
"Akina~I'm downstairs~"
"Ah~Naoki-san~" the voice on the microphone sounded a little panicked, "Qiudou sack! I'll be down right away!"
Before hanging up the phone in a hurry, Nagayama Naoki seemed to hear the sound of something falling to the ground...
"Could it be that the cosmetics fell off? Hahaha~"
At this time, Akina Nakamori was hurriedly clearing away the bottles and cans on the table. Things that were not usually used were placed on the small dressing table all of a sudden, which would make a mess~
"Yoshi, get down now!"
Finally, he took a look in the mirror and ran out of the door with his small bag, regardless of whether the mirror he had put down knocked over another bottle.
Nagayama Naoki drove the car to a stop not far from the apartment building, thinking that girls always have some time to put on makeup, so he got out of the car and leaned against the car door to wait for Akina.
The night wind was a bit cool, so I was wearing a white T-shirt, a dark cardigan casually draped over my upper body, and a wide belt and ruffled linen suit trousers on my lower body.
Under the light of the door of the apartment building not far away, it looks like a fashion model stepping out of a magazine~
Fortunately it was quite dark, otherwise all passers-by would have looked over.
About 5 minutes later, Nakamori Akina walked out from the apartment building door carrying a small bag.
The beige fluffy floral skirt is tied around the waist with a wide white band, highlighting the slim waist.
I paused at the door and saw Naoki Nagayama standing next to the car not far away.
"Naoki-san!" waved his hand happily~
Naoki Nagayama naturally waved, and then saw Akina walking over quickly: "Naoki-san, have you been waiting for a long time?"
"No~ I thought Akina would have to put on makeup for a while." Nagayama Naoki casually looked at Nakamori Akina, "Akina-chan looks so good-looking!
Fresh and full of energy~”
Nakamori Akina held her small bag with a shy smile on her face:
"Naoki-san is very handsome too!"
"Hahaha~ Others heard it and thought the two shameless guys were bragging to each other~
Get in the car quickly~"
After Mingcai sat down, Naoki Nagayama started the car and slowly drove on the highway from Nakano District to Taitung District.
While grasping the direction, Nagayama Naoki chatted with Akina:
"Akina-chan, did you celebrate your birthday on the TV station today?"
"Well! The staff of the show prepared a cake for me and blew out the candles~" Akina Nakamori happily shared what happened in the afternoon. "In the end, I shared a delicious cake with my friends present!"
Then he seemed to suddenly remember something and suddenly exclaimed:
"Ah! Ah Bai! I forgot!!!"
"Nani?" Nagayama Naoki was startled by Akina's voice. He quickly looked at the road ahead, then turned to look at Nakamori Akina, "Forgot something?"
"Forgot the cake!!" Akina's little face looked aggrieved, "I obviously brought a cake for Naoki-san, but I was so nervous just now that I forgot to take it down!"
At this time, in Akina Nakamori's small apartment, a cake in a paper bag was placed on the table, lonely in the dark...
"Haha~ I actually have one too?" Nagayama Naoki was a little surprised. It was a cake prepared by the TV station~
"Yes, it's a very delicious cake! So I specially packed one for Naoki-san!" Akina emphasized the word "delicious" as if to advertise, "It's a pity that I didn't bring it over, Naoki-san will eat it."
It’s not here~”
Akina Nakamori looked at Naoki Nagayama with pity in her eyes. She glanced at the road outside the window and immediately suggested:
"Naoki-san, how about we turn around now and get it back?"
Akina can't wait to share all the beautiful things with the people she cares about~
"Hahaha, we have come a long way~" Nagayama Naoki said with a smile, "Why don't you give it to me when you come back~ I didn't miss it when I ate it!"
"Okay~" Akina's tone dropped for a moment, but she immediately became full of energy again, "Naoki-san, where should we go to eat?"
"Taitto District, a Western restaurant in Ueno." Nagayama Naoki has naturally made a reservation, "After eating, we can go to Ueno Park for a walk~"
"Huh? Is the surprise in the restaurant?" Akina Nakamori leaned her head slightly, with a sly smile on her pretty face, and said coquettishly, "Or in the park? Naoki-san, tell me~"
Nagayama Naoki did not satisfy the girl's curiosity, but replied vaguely: "We will know then~"
"Hey..." He complained like a child, "It's mysterious~"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "That's why it's called a surprise!"
Putting this topic aside, the two people on the road chatted about interesting things that happened recently.
Perhaps because she was not able to participate, Akina was very curious about the interesting things during the filming of "Hot Blood High School". She even asked about the disobedient crow and Kaede Nagayama teaching other actors how to say dirty words on the set...
.
"In short, Akina-chan, don't study!" Naoki Nagayama solemnly warned at the end, "If you accidentally say it during the live broadcast one day, that would be terrible!"
"Hahaha~ Then I'll say it was Naoki-san who taught me the bad thing!" Akina didn't care at all and kept laughing in the passenger seat.
"Then I have no place to complain..."
.......
The night's itinerary went very smoothly. Just as he was talking, Naoki Nagayama realized that he had arrived in Ueno, Taito District. Following the address in his memory, he quickly arrived at a two-story Western-style restaurant.
In the small garden on the periphery, the second-story building exudes soft light. Inside, there are marble floors, plain white tablecloths, and silver tableware... Under the careful design of the restaurant waiters,
It reflects a cold sense of high-end.
There are fewer seats on the second floor, and the pianist in the middle plays soft music, giving the entire restaurant a pleasant atmosphere.
Nagayama Naoki came to the reserved window seat and could see Ueno Park in the distance.
"Mingna, what do you want to eat?"
At this time, Nagayama Naoki inexplicably gave off the aura of a nouveau riche, and all he needed was to say "just do it".
"Hi, I want... grilled steak with black pepper, seafood pasta with pesto sauce..."
Akina flipped through the menu, while Naoki Nagayama exchanged glances with the familiar waiter. After receiving a positive signal, he felt relieved.
"Okay, where's Naoki-san?" Akina handed the menu to Naoki Nagayama.
"Then I'll have the butter ribeye steak and the truffle and mushroom baked**."
Because they had to drive, they didn't drink. The two of them ordered ice juice and soda to go with their meal.
After returning the menu to the waiter, Naoki Nagayama continued to chat with Akina Nakamori,
"Mingcai Jiang will hold a nationwide concert at the end of the month. Before that, she has to go abroad to shoot. There are still so many countries... won't she be very busy?"
"I can't help it, it's just work~" At this time, Mingcai already had the mentality of an experienced worker, "But in between shooting, you can still go shopping in local fun places."
"Then where does Akina want to go the most?"
"Rome!" Akina Nakamori's eyes sparkled, "The Rome in "Roman Holiday"!"
The movie starring Audrey Hepburn can be said to have been an advertisement for Rome in the entire international community.
Which girl in any country doesn't want to go to the "Mouth of Truth" to test whether the person she loves truly loves her...
"Roman Holiday?"
Naoki Nagayama thought of that movie and laughed. Although the plot in it now seems to be full of fantasy, it is still a question whether the camera placed in the lighter has been invented now.
"Which city does Naoki-san want to go to the most?" Akina asked curiously.
"As for me, it's probably Norway~" Naoki Nagayama said.
"Huh? Why?"
"Because of the Beatles' song "Norwegian Wood"~"
""Norwegian Wood"...is it good?" At this time, Mingna's English skills were quite average and she didn't listen to foreign songs very much.
"Very good~ I have a record at home, let Akina listen to it next time~"
Naoki Nagayama actually wanted to say that in a few years, Haruki Murakami will write a novel called "Norwegian Wood", once again letting the whole world know the name of Norway.
Speaking of which, movies, novels, songs...are really important means of exporting a city's culture. No matter which field a popular work appears in, the city's popularity will definitely be greatly enhanced.
While the two were chatting, the dishes they ordered were already served.
Both of them served the steak first, but Akina's black pepper grilled steak had a more spicy taste, while Nagayama Naoki's butter rib-eye steak had a milky aroma.
The tender steak, accompanied by the rich flavor of the sauce, explodes in the mouth, making people appetizing.
The next seafood pasta with pesto sauce and baked chicken with truffle and mixed mushrooms lived up to expectations and were very good. The two foodies chatted while enjoying the delicious food, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
Seeing that Akina was almost finished eating, Naoki Nagayama wiped the corners of his mouth and signaled to the waiter that dessert could be served.
"Mingcai, the food in this restaurant is not bad, isn't it?"
Akina Nakamori also thought it was very good: "Where did you find Naoki-san?"
Nagayama Naoki thought about it: "This time it was introduced by a friend. Generally speaking, in addition to seeing it in food magazines, there are also introductions from friends~"
Speaking of which, ever since they discovered that he likes food, Shuichi Itou, Otomo Yoshimura and other friends have introduced restaurants to him from time to time.
"I think it might become very popular if I make a program specifically about eating delicious food in the future."
"Hahaha, if Naoki-san makes it, I will definitely watch it without missing an episode!" Nakamori Akina assured her with dignity~
"Then I must thank Akina-chan for her support~"
At this time, the lights in the restaurant on the second floor suddenly dimmed a little, especially the lights above their table.
The pianist in the restaurant suddenly played "Happy"
Birthday
To
You!”
The manager of the restaurant came over pushing an exquisite cake, followed by two waiters singing songs, with trays and knives ready in their hands.
"Huh?" Akina Nakamori was surprised by this sudden attack. She opened her eyes wide and looked at the person opposite.
Nagayama Naoki stood up, looked at the surprised Akina and said with a smile: "Although it's a bit late, Akina...happy birthday!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Then everyone sang together: "Happy
Birthday
To
You...Happy
Birthday
To
Dear
Akina......"
When she finished singing, Akina was surprised to see everyone on the second floor applauding her~
Some guests, who were obviously foreigners, were still wishing Akina a happy birthday in English.
"Mingna~Come and make a wish and blow out the candles~"
"Hi!"
The birthday boy glanced at Nagayama Naoki, quickly closed his eyes, and then made a birthday wish again before opening his eyes and blowing out the candles on the cake~婩
Amid the cheers of everyone, Akina took the knife and gently cut the cake in front of her.
"Aligado!" The little girl bowed and thanked everyone around her seriously~
When everyone dispersed, Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori began to taste the birthday cake:
"Mingcai-chan, this is a special ice cream cake!"
"Yeah! Super delicious!" Akina smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed into crescent moons, and then she asked quietly, "Naoki-san, why did everyone else on the second floor come to congratulate me just now? There are so many foreigners!
"
"Ha, that's because I asked the manager of the restaurant that if the guests who come to the second floor for dinner today give blessings to Akina, they can get free of charge!"
In fact, Nagayama Naoki directly occupied the second floor of the restaurant, and every guest who served it had to agree to bless the dish before it could be served.
"Eh!!!" Nakamori Akina exclaimed in a low voice, her face full of surprise, "...this...this is too extravagant."
It was just a birthday, and Akina had never encountered such a situation.
"As long as Akina is happy~" Naoki Nagayama smiled. In fact, the cost was not too expensive.
Nakamori Akina's face was filled with surprise and shyness. Her originally fair face was quietly painted with an extra layer of rouge, making it even more beautiful~
...
Enjoyed a delicious meal and experienced some surprises,
After dinner, the two of them walked slowly on the road toward Ueno Park.
When Akina Nakamori walked out of the restaurant, she was actually very satisfied. She was still thinking in her little head, is this a surprise?
Naoki-san really understands girls' hearts.
Walking on the path in the night, Akina felt the cool breeze caressing her cheeks, blowing away the previous heat and waking up her thoughts.
I was thinking about the two wishes I made when I blew out the candles on my birthday today, and I couldn’t help but look up at the handsome Naoki Nagayama next to me.
The lower lip moved slightly: "Naoki-san..."
"Ah! Akina, look!" Nagayama Naoki suddenly pointed forward and spoke, interrupting Nakamori Akina's words, "The Shinobazu Pond has arrived!"
Shinobazu Pond sparkling under the moonlight is just ahead. In the center of the pond, there is a small temple - Benten Tendo, which is dedicated to Benzaiten, the goddess who brought wealth with her musical talent and tongue-speaking skills.
"Akina, as an idol singer, you need the blessing of Benzaiten!" Nagayama Naoki turned around and said happily, "Let's go and pay homage!"
The words in Nakamori Akina's mouth were blocked, and her cheeks bulged quietly: "Oh..."
.......
Within a few minutes, the two of them arrived at the temple, where the lights were still on, and a huge bronze pipa stood at the door.
Akina Nakamori looked at the brightly lit temple curiously: "Are there any activities today? Is it still open so late?"
Although Akina Nakamori is a little strange, she still follows the rules of worshiping gods, cleansing her hands, making offerings, and then whispers a wish to the gods devoutly.
However, Nagayama Naoki on the other side was not so pious. He glanced at the mountains and rivers beside a certain hall and hurriedly walked over:
"Shanchuan-san, how are you? Are you okay?"
"Silly tape!" Shankawa Fanggong looked confident and handed Nagayama Naoki a remote control.
"Naoki-san, this is the remote control. As long as you press the switch, the lights will turn on! In less than a minute, the fireworks will definitely take off!"
"Hey, Arigado! I'm sorry for trouble Shanchuan Sang!"
The two people were like agents connecting, and after speaking, they separated.
Naoki Nagayama watched the figure of Shanchuan Fangong disappear into the darkness. Just as he was about to turn his head, he heard Akina's voice:
"Naoki-san? What are you doing?"
Akina Nakamori came out after worshiping God. When she saw Naoki Nagayama outside, she had doubts on her face.
"Ah, I'm looking at Kantoba Pond~" Nagayama Naoki quickly made an excuse, and then walked towards the side of the pond.
Akina Nakamori also followed and whispered: "What can we see at night?"
"Anyway, there are a lot of them, the moonlight, the water surface, and the lotus flowers~" Nagayama Naoki took Akina to the edge of the pond.
...
There is a bright moon in the sky, and there is also a bright moon in the water.
The breeze ruffled a pool of clear water, crushed the bright moonlight, and scattered it on the water like the night sky. The sparkling waves were like the twinkling stars in the sky.
"It's so beautiful~~~" Akina Nakamori also praised.
Naoki Nagayama stood by the lake next to Akina Nakamori, feeling that the person next to him was so close to him...
"Actually, the lotus flowers in Shinobazu Pond have been in bloom for the past two days, so it's beautiful~"
After Nakamori Akina heard this, she also turned around and looked around. However, the lotus flowers may be beautiful during the day, but at night you can only see the dark shadows of the lotus leaves. No matter what, you can't say they are beautiful without conscience:
"Yeah...it's a pity that I can't see clearly at night~"
"Oh? How could it be? She's obviously very pretty?!" Nagayama Naoki turned his head and said to Akina, and quietly pressed the remote control in his pocket.
Nakamori Akina looked at the guy next to her with a look that looked at Baga: "Naoki Sankyu wants to lie to me..."
I thought Naoki Nagayama was joking with me. Akina Nakamori wanted to say something, but was stunned by the sight in front of her: "Huh?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In an instant, the "lotus flowers" lit up in the Shinobazu Pond, as if they suddenly bloomed at this moment, bright red and pink.
White, bright yellow, indigo...
From near to far, high and low, densely and sparsely spread among the lotus leaves in the pond, like colorful lotus ponds falling from Gaotianyuan...
Immersed in this unreal scene, the little girl was captivated by such fantastic and magnificent scenes.
"this....."
"Akina-chan, what a surprise!" I heard Naoki Nagayama say next to me.
Akina Nakamori felt as if she had drunk a lot of wine and her head was a little dizzy...
A surge of emotion arises from my chest,
Then, like a flame with gasoline, it suddenly burned into my heart, beating and beating, spreading to my face, and even my breath became hot.
"This is the surprise Naoki-san mentioned before!"
The moonlight is like blue smoke, and the colorful lotus lanterns quietly shrouding the pond are like covering the Shinobazu Pond with a veil, and also like having a blurred dream.
The little girl suddenly turned her head and looked seriously at Naoki Nagayama next to her. Her hurried voice sounded bold and direct: "Naoki-san! Do you... have something to say to me!!"
Naoki Nagayama raised his head and was thinking about why the fireworks hadn't gone up yet. His attention was attracted by Akina Nakamori's words.
Akina next to her was looking at him with rapid breathing, a stubborn and serious expression on her rosy little face, and a bright light flowing in her beautiful black and white eyes, clearly expressing this meaning——
"If you don't say it, then I will!"
Being looked at by such hot and sincere eyes, Nagayama Naoki felt a little panicked for a moment.
It was a look that was sure to last a lifetime, a firmness that I had never encountered in my previous life or this life.
Can you give an equal response yourself?
"Mingna..."
.......Wu
"Whoosh~ bang~ bang~"
In the distance of Shinobazu Pond, as if agreed upon, a riot of purple and red suddenly burst out, and fireworks bloomed in the night sky, making the dark sky look like a fairyland.
The bright flames illuminated the entire Shinobazu Pond~
Akina Nakamori, who was waiting for a response, was also attracted by this scene and turned her head to look over.
Against the backdrop of the colorful fireworks, the beautiful face flickers in and out, as beautiful as an unreal illusion.
Nagayama Naoki stared at her like this and wanted to reach out and touch her, but he put it back for fear of ruining this beautiful moment.
During a brief pause in the fireworks, Naoki Nagayama finally spoke:
"Akina?!"
"Huh?" She turned around slightly, her beautiful eyes moved, and her gaze returned to Nagayama Naoki's face again.
"I like you!!"
"Ah!" As if a bubble had been popped, Akina showed a bright smile, but asked as if to confirm again,
"What did Naoki-san say?"
"Mingna, I like you!"
Naoki Nagayama held her hand and further clarified his feelings.
"......please date with me!......"
After hearing what she wanted to hear, Akina Nakamori felt as if a flower had bloomed in her heart. A feeling called happiness filled her whole body and continued to expand.
However, the little girl did not respond immediately. Instead, she turned around slightly and acted coquettishly:
"What? If you suddenly say this, how do you respond..."
But he didn’t retract his hand~
Are you pretending to be shy at this time? Where is Akina who looked so brave just now?
Naoki Nagayama couldn't help but smile, he held Akina with both hands, got a little closer, his eyes fell between her eyebrows, and he looked into her eyes:
