441, is this considered meeting my mother-in-law in advance?
The cool breeze blew from the car window, but it did not cool down Nagayama Naoki's slightly heated head. Ever since he hung up the phone, he felt anxious as if there was an invisible hand, always kneading him lightly or heavily.
to your heart.
"Driver Sang, can you hurry up?" The uncle couldn't help urging the taxi,
"I'm very anxious~"
"Passenger, it's already the speed limit!" The driver comforted him.
"Don't worry, I'm famous for driving taxis in Tokyo! I'll definitely deliver you as quickly as possible! There may not be a taxi in Tokyo that's faster than me!" So confident?
Is it still hidden? Nagayama Naoki couldn't help but asked cautiously: "Could it be that when I was young, I delivered tofu to my family?" The driver's uncle thought that there might be something wrong with this passenger: "Brother, don't be ridiculous, I want to
When I was young, I always drove a taxi!"
".You might as well not say anything."
"Hahaha, I have more than 20 years of driving experience. Rest assured, brother!" The driver seemed to like chatting with passengers during the night shift.
"It's so late, are you in a hurry to meet someone important?"
"You can say that." Under the stimulation of alcohol, Naoki Nagayama also relaxed a little.
"She's my girlfriend~" The driver's uncle glanced at Naoki Nagayama, with inexplicable approval in his eyes: "Oh, it's great to be young!"
"When uncle was young, there were people he risked his life to meet, right?"
"Ah~ of course." The driver seemed to be excited about the conversation.
"It happens now. Every time I make money, I head to Kabukicho without caring about myself~"
"." Naoki Nagayama was speechless. He looked at the driver. He was almost half a century old, right? There weren't many vehicles at night. The original journey of about twenty minutes was shortened to ten minutes. Although the driver was chatty,
But he still has some hard skills.
As the taxi stopped, the apartment in Nakano Ward was just ahead. After Naoki Nagayama gave the rent to the driver, his heart suddenly moved: "Uncle, the taxi will work the night shift until tomorrow morning, right?"
"The night shift is until three in the morning."
"Then can you please uncle wait for me here?" Nagayama Naoki felt that he was here to comfort Akina. He probably wouldn't spend the night at Akina's place for the time being. It might be troublesome to call a taxi then.
"I can charter a car."
"Oh? One night, that's very expensive. About 50,000 yen!" The driver uncle could earn about 40,000 yen in one night, so he raised the price slightly.
"Hey, that's 50,000 yen." Naoki Nagayama said without blinking.
"Uncle, I'll be down in about two hours!"
You don't even have to bargain with "Uh"? The driver was shocked.
"Then I'll stop over there and wait for you~" The driver pointed to the roadside not far away. If you parked in front of the apartment, you would be questioned by the security guard.
"Arigado." The taxi driver started the car and was still muttering: "Today's young people are really rich~" But looking at Nagayama Naoki's leaving figure, the driver's mouth sneered.
"Two hours? I bet you can't last two minutes!" After contacting the resident, Naoki Nagayama stepped onto the elevator under the scrutiny of the night guard, and soon arrived at the door of the bachelor's apartment.
After ringing the doorbell, Akina's little face appeared in front of her, with fatigue and worry on her brows, her eyes were still a little red and swollen, and her bare face without any makeup looked haggard.
"Naoki-san" saw Akina's fragile look, Nagayama Naoki opened his arms directly, held her in his arms, gently patted her trembling body, and comforted her softly: "It's okay, I'll stay with you."
Akina also hugged her boyfriend, feeling that the worry she had been feeling for several days was finally relieved.
After a while, she let go of her arms, and her head burrowed into Naoki Nagayama's arms a few times before she broke away from her boyfriend's arms: "Naoki-san, I'm kidding you. I've been in the entrance hall all this time." Naoyama Nagayama
Shu was led into the bedroom by Akina. It can be seen that many things in the room have been packed, leaving only some necessities.
"After tomorrow, the moving company will move all of this to a new apartment. It's a very high-end apartment in Taitung District." Akina introduced it to Naoki Nagayama.
"Wouldn't that bring me closer?" Nagayama Naoki said,
"When you come back, won't you come back here?"
"Hey, I'll just go there then. It's really close to Sansakura-in~" After pulling her boyfriend to sit down, Akina poured a glass of lemonade for Nagayama Naoki, but this time, her little nose wrinkled: "Sure enough,
Naoki-san has been drinking."
"I've already taken a shower, can Akina still smell it?" Naoki Nagayama picked up his shirt collar and smelled it. It was obviously the fresh smell of washing powder.
"I know the smell of alcohol as soon as I smell it!" Akina Nakamori laughed. There is no doubt about the talent of the little drunkard.
"Did Naoki-san come here after drinking?"
"Well, today is the finale party of "Hot Blood High School", so I drank a little with everyone." Akina was very touched. She must be tired after the dinner, and from the look of Naoki, she must have drank a lot.
However, in the middle of the night, he went to the apartment here to comfort himself and sat down against Naoki Nagayama on the small sofa. He was obviously very moved, but he said: "How cunning, I actually used this excuse to eat and drink.
"
"It's an affirmation of the hard work of everyone on the crew! A lot of things happened at the closing banquet!" Naoki Nagayama put an arm around Akina and talked softly about the daily routine during the day. In fact, it was to relieve Akina of her worries.
Feeling.
And when Akina listened to her boyfriend's story, especially about being interrogated by the police, a smile appeared on her face.
"Hahaha, what an exaggeration! Was Policeman Sandu attracted here?"
"We were also shocked at that time." Naoki Nagayama thought about everyone's faces in the restaurant.
"Everyone acted like they didn't know anything."
"What happened in the end?"
"After that, we had no choice but to play the trailer again to convince the policeman that we were from the film crew." Nagayama Naoki said with a smile,
"Haha, Tahara Toshihiko and Sanada Hiroyuki were both recognized."
"Eh~~~" It's common for celebrities to be recognized. Akina Nakamori has also been recognized several times, but most fans don't bother too much and just sign their names.
"The chances of Akina Nakamori being recognized will be even greater in the future! After this national tour." Nagayama Naoki recalled it. It seems that 1983 to 1984 was when Akina Nakamori quickly became famous, and even more so after 1985.
Entered its heyday.
Wait, it seems that in my memory, Akina once held back tears because of her grandfather's death and still wanted to appear on the show. It was a great regret that she did not see her grandfather's last face before his death. Could this be this time?
"Akina. If you go to the concert this time, how many days will you have to leave Tokyo?"
"I will go to Fukushima Prefecture tomorrow and then go around the coastline. It may take more than a month." Akina thought Naoki Nagayama was worried about not being able to see her.
"But between concerts, I will still go back to Tokyo."
"Hmm" Naoki Nagayama was a little sure, it should be this concert, and her grandfather happened to be seriously ill at this time.
"Then Akina won't be able to see grandpa for at least two to three days, right?"
"Hmm." Akina felt lost again when she heard this. Nagayama Naoki sat up straight and looked into Akina's eyes: "Akina, let's go see grandpa now!"
"???Eh???" Seeing Nakamori Akina's very surprised look, Nagayama Naoki continued: "It takes about an hour to get to Kiyose from here. Does Akina know the address of the hospital?"
"Hi but"
"Although it's already early morning when we get there, Akina can spend the night with grandpa." Nagayama Naoki said,
"I'll go to the concert tomorrow."
"But Fang Zesang will pick me up at about 5 o'clock."
"It doesn't matter, I'll just send Akina to Fukushima!" Naoki Nagayama said,
"Meet us there then."
"But... Akina can't sleep at night, so she has to catch up on her sleep on the way to Futian."
"It doesn't matter if you sleep~" Nakamori Akina was confused by her boyfriend's suggestion, but she was also very moved: "But what should I tell the office?"
"Let's call in the morning!" Nagayama Naoki was very decisive at this time.
"Is there anything Akina-san you want to take to Fukushima?"
"Only a change of clothes." The other things were placed in the agent's car. After all, he would be moving to a new home after returning this time.
"Then quickly pack up and we'll set off right away!"
"But at this time, taxi." Akina was still a little at a loss.
"Already waiting downstairs!"
"???" The uncle driver, who had opened the window and was smoking leisurely, saw Naoki Nagayama suddenly walking out from under the apartment building. He waved his hand in this direction. He quickly took two puffs and then put out the cigarette butt.
"Hey, he is indeed a young man! He hasn't even finished smoking a cigarette~" The driver started the engine.
"Including warm-up, two minutes is the most!" When the car stopped at the door of the apartment, he realized that this handsome passenger had actually brought the girl out!
"Sang, guest, do you want to go back?"
"No!" Naoki Nagayama pulled Akina Nakamori into the car.
"Uncle, let's go to the Central Hospital in Kiyose City!"
"Kiyose? Is it Kiyose City beyond Nerima District?"
"Hi!" The driver was a little surprised: "That's not close, it will probably take more than an hour!"
"Well, we are going to visit our grandfather who is seriously ill." Naoki Nagayama said,
"Uncle, I will still give you the money for the chartered car!"
"Okay then~" If you have money, you are a man! Seeing the car start, Nagayama Naoki in the back seat held Akina's hand: "Akina, take a rest first, I will call you when we get to Kiyose."
"Hmm~" The girl next to her hugged Nagayama Naoki's arm, rested her head on her shoulder, and closed her eyes.
The night wind in the early morning brought bursts of coolness, blowing away the clouds and fog blocking the sky, revealing the cool moonlight and the brilliant starry sky.
On the suburban expressway, the silver gauze paved on the cement road silently welcomes the vehicles passing quickly one after another. The headlights pull out strips of psychedelic colored light, tying a red and white line on the quiet night.
Alternate drawstrings.
Next to her, Akina was resting with her eyes closed. The driver naturally stopped nagging as before, and the whole car seemed very quiet.
The night breeze blowing in through the window cooled Nagayama Naoki's originally heated head. The alcohol in his body was quickly digested, and he felt much more awake.
With more and more residential buildings and street lights, taxis once again drove to the urban area. Kiyose City. Arrived!
The uncle driver is indeed an experienced driver with 20 years of driving experience. He even knows a little bit about such a remote town. The address of the central hospital is naturally not a problem for him.
Soon, the car stopped in front of a white building with lights on.
"Akina. Akina, we are here!" Nagayama Naoki gently called the girl next to him. Akina opened her eyes in a daze and quickly regained her clarity.
After more than a year of idol career, Akina has been able to fall asleep and wake up at any time in the car.
"Have you arrived yet?" Looking at the familiar building outside the window, Nakamori Akina was stunned.
"Well, you go down first and I'll pay the money~"
"Hi" Nagayama Naoki took out 5 Shotoku Prince cards from his wallet and gave them to the driver's uncle, but this was not the end: "Uncle, are you interested in making more money?"
"Huh? Do you still want to go back?" The driver was surprised.
"No, we are going to Fukushima Prefecture tomorrow! We will leave around three or four in the morning." Naoki Nagayama said,
“Drive all the way from here to Fukushima!”
The taxi driver of "this" has never heard of such a request. This is a taxi! Cross-city trips are expensive to a certain extent!
It’s more than 200 kilometers from Kiyose to Fukushima! And I’m working the night shift, so the fare is estimated to be 100,000 yen.
"Guest, the fare is estimated to be 100,000!" Nagayama Naoki reassured him: "Don't worry, uncle, I will compensate for the gas money!"
"Okay, then!" Although he was not very willing to go out of the market, he gave too much!
"Uncle, let's fill up the gas first and take a rest here~" Nagayama Naoki closed the door.
"I'll come back to you in four hours!"
"Hi!" After Nagayama Naoki's back disappeared, the driver Dashu looked at the time. It was just after midnight, and he had already earned 50,000 yen tonight. He could sleep for four hours later and wake up.
There is also a big order of 100,000 yen!
Great! After consulting at the front desk of the hospital, Akina Nakamori and Naoki Nagayama came to an intensive care unit.
Opening the door, under the dim light, an old man was lying drowsily on the bed wearing an oxygen mask. On the chair next to him, half-lying on the chair, was a middle-aged woman, who was Akina's mother, Chieko.
The sound of opening the door woke the woman up. She was very surprised when she saw Akina Nakamori walking in: "Akina? Why are you back?"
"Because grandpa is seriously ill." Akina Nakamori walked to the bedside and looked at her unconscious grandpa, her eyes turned red again.
"Mom, grandpa's condition." Chieko sighed: "The doctor said it depends on the patient's willpower." This is the most dangerous statement. Either he wakes up or dies in a coma.
"This" Akina couldn't help but shed tears. She looked at her grandfather on the hospital bed and was sobbing. Instead, Chieko kept comforting her daughter, saying that when the time comes, everyone must have this test.
Gently patting Akina's back, she finally calmed down. Only then did Chieko realize that there was actually another person in the ward!
"I'm sorry, this one." I didn't look carefully in the darkness just now, but when I looked carefully, Chieko recognized it.
"Naoki-san?"
"Hi, Kushu greetings, Chieko-san." Nagayama Naoki bowed and said hello. Chieko was very surprised when she saw Nagayama Naoki. This young man had contact with her family, but she hadn't seen him for more than a year:
"Well, it's been a long time indeed. What are you doing?" Akina Nakamori interrupted at this time: "Mom, it was Naoki-san who sent me here."
"Ah? What's the point of this? It's really troublesome for Naoki-san!" Chieko thought it was sent by the agency's manager, so she bowed and thanked her when she heard this.
Naoki Nagayama waved his hand quickly: "It doesn't matter, Akina and I have known each other for so long and have such a good relationship, what does this mean!!" We have only been dating for less than a month!
It’s not time to announce the meeting with parents yet! Naoki Nagayama can only say that we are still good friends now!
Chieko looked at the embarrassed look of the handsome guy in front of her, and then glanced at her daughter. Her eyes focused on this, there was definitely something wrong!
Nagayama Naoki said something like grandpa will definitely wake up and Chieko-san should take care of her health. Then there was nothing left to say. The entire ward fell into silence, and an awkward atmosphere slowly filled the air.
Chieko and Nakamori Akina began to make eye contact, which made Naoki Nagayama, who couldn't understand, feel like his toes were digging holes in his shoes.
"Ahem, Chieko-san." After a few minutes, Nagayama Naoki couldn't stand it anymore.
"Grandpa is sick. He came in a hurry and didn't bring some condolences. It's really rude. I'll excuse you for a moment."
"Ah, Naoki-san, there's no need for that! As long as it comes to your mind!"
"No, no, no, it's still necessary!" Naoki Nagayama said as he exited the ward and quickly wiped away the non-existent sweat.
"Is this an early meeting with my mother-in-law? It's really difficult!" After Nagayama Naoki disappeared, Chieko pulled Nakamori Akina and whispered: "Akina, is that Naoki-san dating you?" Akina
His pale face suddenly turned red. He was a little hesitant and shy, so he said coyly: "Yeah."
"How long have you been dating?" Chieko asked hurriedly,
"Akina, have you ever dated Naoki-san?" Akina's face turned even redder: "Mom, Naoki-san and I have only been dating for a month!!"
"I care about you!" Chieko breathed a sigh of relief, but looking at the way Akina looked at Nagayama Naoki just now, she clearly gave her heart away.
If she were not in the ward now and her grandfather was still lying next to her, she would have to give her a warning! Her daughter has always been very stubborn and dedicated, but she is not an adult yet. How could she be treated like this by the bad boy outside?
Cheated!
But then again, Naoki Nagayama is someone who knows the Nakamori family well, and he seems to be pretty good, too?
What's more, this guy seems to be very rich! And he's very handsome! He seems to be very talented? He was very polite to himself just now, and all the good things about Nagayama Naoki came out.
This is the mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law. The more she looks at her, the more pleasing she is to her eyes~
