Tokyo Bubble Life

  Chapter 403 Chapter 402, the moonlight is so beautiful tonight~

  Summer night always comes very late.

   But since it is here, it must be swift and enthusiastic.

  When Naoki Naoyama drove out, he could still see some hazy light, but when he arrived in Nakano District, it was already too dim to see the leaves of the roadside trees~

  However, in a city that never sleeps with neon lights, the last thing to worry about is losing sight at night.

There are rows of street lamps on the road, emitting warm yellow light to guide the traffic ahead; there are shops on the side of the road, emitting colorful and magnificent halos, attracting strolling pedestrians; the glass windows between high-rise buildings, Light up the stars in mid-air to illuminate the hardworking white-collar workers.

Looking up, if luck is good, a round of bright moon will be high above the sky, spreading a cool glow, covering the brightly lit city under the night with a layer of silver-white tulle, soothing the restless hearts of the people in the city that never sleeps .

   "The moonlight is so beautiful tonight~"

   Naoki Naoyama looked at the bright moon above his head and sighed.

  The cool wind of summer night blows on the face, icy, like silk slipping across the face,

   "The wind is also very gentle~"

  Not far from Nakano's apartment building, Naoki Nagayama called Akina from the phone booth as usual,

   "Akina~I'm downstairs~"

   "Ah~ Naoki-san~" The voice in the microphone sounded a little flustered, "Autumn bean sack! I'll be down right away!"

  Before the phone hung up hastily, Naoki Naoyama seemed to have heard something fall to the ground

   "Could it be that the cosmetics have fallen off~hahaha~"

  At this time, Akina Nakamori was busy cleaning up the bottles and cans on the table. Things that I don’t usually use very much, if they are placed on the small dressing table, they will be messy~

   "Yoxi, get down now!"

  Looked in the mirror for the last time, and ran out the door with the small bag regardless of what bottle was knocked over by the mirror that was put down.

  Naoki Yongshan drove the car not far from the apartment building and stopped, thinking that girls always have a little time to put on makeup, so he got out of the car and leaned against the car door to wait for Mingnai.

  The wind at night is a bit cool, wearing a white T-shirt, a dark cardigan on the upper body casually, and a wide belt and frilly linen suit pants on the lower body,

  Under the light at the entrance of the apartment building not far away, it looks like a fashion model walking out of a magazine~

  Fortunately, the sky is relatively dark, otherwise all passers-by will definitely see it.

  After about 5 minutes, Nakamori Akina came out from the gate of the apartment building with a small bag in her hand.

  The beige fluffy floral skirt is tied around the waist with a white wide belt, highlighting the slender waist.

  Standing at the door and pausing for a while, I saw Naoki Naoyama standing by the car not far away,

   "Naoki-san!" He waved happily~

   Naoki Yongshan naturally waved his hand, and then saw Akina walking over quickly: "Has Naoki-san been waiting for a long time?"

   "No~ I thought Akina would have to put on makeup for a while." Naoki Naoyama casually looked at Akina Nakamori, "Akina-chan's dress is so pretty!

  Fresh and energetic~”

  Akina Nakamori carried her small bag with a shy smile on her face:

   "Naoki-san is also handsome!"

   "Hahaha~ I was overheard by others and thought that two thick-skinned guys were bragging to each other~

  Get in the car~"

   After Ming Cai sat down, Naoki Naoyama started the car and slowly drove on the expressway from Nakano District to Taito District.

  While grasping the direction, Naoki Naoyama chatted with Akina:

   "Akira-chan, did you celebrate your birthday on TV 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, "At the end, I shared a delicious cake with the friends present!"

   Then, as if he suddenly remembered something, he suddenly exclaimed:

   "Ah! Yabai! I forgot!!"

   "Nani?" Naoki Naoyama was taken aback by Akina's voice, and quickly looked at the road ahead before turning to Nakamori Akina, "What did you forget?"

   "I forgot the cake!" Minna's small face was full of grievances, "I obviously brought a cake for Naoki-san, but I was too nervous just now and 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, alone in the dark.

   "Haha~ I actually have a copy?" Naoki Naoyama was a little surprised, the cake prepared by the TV station~

"Yeah, it's a very delicious cake! That's why I specially packed a copy for Naoki-san!" Mingcai emphasized the word "delicious", as if advertising, "It's a pity I didn't bring it, Naoki-san eats it It's not here~"

  Akina Nakamori looked at Naoki Nagayama with pity in his eyes, looked at the road outside the window, and immediately suggested:

   "Naoki-san, why don't we turn around now and bring it back to talk about it!"

  Ming Cai can’t wait to share all the beautiful things with those who care~

   "Hahaha, I've come a long way~" Naoki Naoyama smiled and said, "Why don't you bring it to me when you come back~ I didn't miss eating at that time!"

   "Okay~" Akina's tone dropped a bit, but she immediately became full of energy, "Naoki-san, where should we go for dinner?"

   "Taito District, a western restaurant in Ueno." Naoki Nagayama has already 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 is it in the park? Naoki-san, tell me~"

  Yongshan Naoki did not satisfy the girl's curiosity, but replied vaguely: "We will know when the time comes~"

   "Tch" complained childishly, "Mysterious~"

   "That's why it's called a surprise!"

  Leaving this topic aside, the two on the road chatted about interesting things that happened recently.

  Maybe it was because he was not able to participate in the role, Ming Cai was even more curious about the interesting things during the filming of "Hot Blooded High School", and even asked about the disobedient crow, and Yong Shanfeng taught other actors how to use swear words on the set.

   "Anyway, Mingcai-chan, don't study!" Naoki Naoyama warned solemnly at the end, "If one day you accidentally say it during the live broadcast, it will be terrible!"

   "Hahaha~ I will say that Naoki-san taught me to break it!" Akina didn't care at all, and kept laughing on the co-pilot.

   "Then I have no place to complain."

  The itinerary at night was very smooth. Just as he was talking, Naoki Naoyama found that he had arrived in Ueno, Taito District, and followed the address in his memory to a two-story western-style restaurant.

In the small garden outside, the small building on the second floor exudes soft lights, and the inside is the marble floor. The plain white tablecloths and silver tableware are carefully designed by the waiters in the restaurant, reflecting a kind of cold and high-end atmosphere. feel.

  There are fewer seats on the second floor, and the pianist in the middle plays soft tunes, making the whole restaurant in a pleasant atmosphere.

  Naoki Naoyama came to the reserved window seat, and he could still see Ueno Park in the distance.

   "Mingcai, what do you want to eat?"

  At this time, Naoki Naoyama inexplicably exuded an aura of nouveau riche, and he was short of saying "just order".

   "Hi, I want to. Grilled steak with black pepper, seafood pasta with green sauce."

  Akina flipped through the menu, while Naoki Yongshan exchanged glances with the familiar waiter brother, and was relieved after receiving a positive signal.

   "Okay, where is Naoki-san?" Akina handed the menu to Yongshan Naoki.

   "Then I want butter rib eye steak, baked with truffle mushrooms**."

  Because they had to drive, they didn't drink. The two ordered iced juice and soda to accompany their meals.

  After returning the menu to the waiter brother, Naoki Naoyama continued to chat with Akina Nakamori,

   "Ming Caijiang will hold a national concert at the end of the month. Before that, she will be filming abroad. There are still so many countries. Isn't it going to be very busy?"

   "No way, that's work~" At this time, Akina already has the mentality of a senior worker, "But between shooting, you can still go shopping in interesting local places."

   "Where does Akina want to go the most?"

   "Rome!" Akina Nakamori's eyes sparkled, "The Rome in "Roman Holiday"!"

  The movie that Audrey Hepburn starred in can be said to have advertised Rome in the entire international community,

  Which country girls don’t want to go to the “Mouth of Truth” to see if the person they love really loves themselves?

   "Roman Holiday?"

   Naoki Yongshan laughed when he thought of that movie. Although the plot in it seems to be full of fantasy, it is still a question of whether the camera in the lighter has been invented yet.

   "Which city would Naoki-san want to visit the most?" Akina asked curiously.

   "In my case, it's probably Norway~" Naoki Naoyama said.

   "Huh? Why?"

   "Because of the Beatles' "Norwegian Wood"~"

   "Norwegian Wood. Is it good?" At this time, Mingcai's English level is quite average, and she doesn't listen to foreign songs very much.

   "Very good~ I have a record at home, next time let Akina listen to it~"

  Naoki Naoyama actually wants to say that in a few years, Haruki Murakami will write a novel called "Norwegian Forest", which will once again let the whole world know the name of Norway.

  Speaking of it, movies, novels, and songs are really important means of exporting a city’s culture. No matter in which field there are well-known works, the popularity of that city will definitely be greatly improved.

   While the two were chatting, the dishes they ordered had already arrived.

  Both of them served the steak first, but Mingcai's grilled black pepper steak tasted more spicy, while Naoki Naoki's butter rib eye steak was milky.

  The tender steak, accompanied by the strong aroma of the sauce, explodes in the mouth, whets the appetite.

  The following seafood pasta with green sauce and baked chicken with truffle and mixed mushrooms are not disappointing, they are very good. The two foodies enjoyed the delicious food while chatting, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

   Seeing that Mingcai was almost eaten, Naoki Yongshan wiped the corner of his mouth and signaled the waiter to serve dessert.

   "Ming Cai, isn't the food in this restaurant not bad?"

  Akina Nakamori also thought it was very good: "Where did you find Naoki-san?"

   Naoki Naoyama thought about it for a while: "This time it was introduced by a friend. Generally speaking, apart from seeing it in food magazines, it is also introduced by friends~"

   Speaking of which, since he discovered that he likes food, Shuichi Ido, Otomo Yoshimura and other friends have introduced restaurants to him from time to time.

   "I think that in the future, a program dedicated to eating food everywhere may become very popular."

   "Hahaha, if Naoki-san makes it, I must watch every episode without missing a beat!" Akina Nakamori promised her face~

   "Then I must thank Ming Caijiang 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 dimmed a few.

  The pianist in the restaurant suddenly played "Happy Birthday To You!"

  The manager of the restaurant walked over pushing an exquisite cake, followed by two waiters singing, with trays and knives in their hands.

   "Huh?" Nakamori Akina was surprised by the sudden attack, and looked at the opposite person with wide eyes.

   Naoki Naoyama stood up, looked at the surprised Akina with a smile and said, "Although it's a bit late, happy birthday, Akina!"

   Then he sang along with everyone: "HappyBirthdayToYouHappyBirthdayToDearAkina"

  When the singing was over, Akina was surprised to see that everyone on the second floor was applauding for her~

   Some guests who are obviously foreigners are still wishing Akina a happy birthday in English.

   "Mingcai~ Hurry up and make a wish and blow out the candles~"

"Hi!"

  Shou Xing glanced at Naoki Nagayama, quickly closed his eyes, and then opened his eyes after making a birthday wish again, and blew out the candles on the cake~

  Amidst the cheers of the crowd, Akina took the knife and gently cut the cake in front of her.

   "Arigado!" The little girl seriously bowed to everyone around and thanked her~

   After everyone dispersed, Naoki Naoyama and Akina Nakamori began to taste the birthday cake:

   "Mingcai sauce, this is a special ice cream cake!"

"Hmm! It's super delicious!" Mingcai smiled until her eyes narrowed into a crescent moon, and then quietly asked, "Naoki-san, why did everyone 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, if the guests who come to the second floor to eat today, if they give Mingcai their blessings, they can get free!"

  In fact, Naoki Yongshan directly occupied the second floor of the restaurant, and every guest who came up was only able to come up after agreeing to bless Mingcai.

   "Hey!!" Akina Nakamori exclaimed in a low voice, her face full of surprise, "...this... this is too extravagant."

   It's just a birthday, and Akina has never encountered such a situation.

   "As long as Akina is happy~" Naoki Naoyama smiled, but the cost is actually not too expensive.

  Akina Nakamori's face was full of surprise and shyness. The original fair face quietly painted an extra layer of rouge, which made it look even better~

   Enjoyed a delicious meal and experienced some surprises,

   After dinner, the two walked slowly on the road towards Ueno Park.

  When Akina Nakamori walked out of the restaurant, she was actually very satisfied, and she was still thinking in her little head, is this a surprise?

  Naoki-san really understands girls' hearts very well.

  Walking on the trail under the darkness of night, Mingcai felt the cool wind caressing her cheeks, blowing away the heat from before, and her thoughts also came to her senses.

  I was thinking about the two wishes I made when I was blowing 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! Look, Akina!" Naoki Naoyama suddenly pointed to the front and spoke, interrupting Akina Nakamori, "I'm here!"

  The shimmering Shinobi Pond under the moonlight is right in front of you. In the middle of the pool, there is a small temple - Benzentango. It is dedicated to Benzaiten, the goddess who brings wealth with her musical talent and tongue discernment.

   "Akina, as an idol singer, you just need Benzaiten's blessing!" Naoki Naoyama turned his head and said happily, "Let's go and pay respects!"

  Akina Nakamori's words were blocked back like this, her cheeks puffed up quietly: "Oh"

   Within a few minutes, the two arrived at the temple that was still lit, and a huge bronze lute stood at the door.

  Akina Nakamori looked at the brightly lit temple curiously: "Is there any event today? It's still open so late?"

   "Maybe it is~" Naoki Naoyama urged, "Anyway, Akina, let's go to worship first!"

  Although Akina Nakamori was a little strange, she still followed the rules of worshiping gods, cleaning her hands, making offerings, and then piously whispering a wish to the gods.

  But Naoki Nagayama on the other side was not so pious anymore. He saw Shigekatsu Yamakawa next to a certain temple with a glance, and hurried over:

   "Sanchuan-san, how is it? Are you okay?"

   "Stupid tape!" Shigekō Yamakawa looked confident, and handed Naoki Nagayama a remote control,

   "Naoki-san, this is the remote control, as long as you press the switch, the light will turn on! In less than a minute, the fireworks will definitely be lifted into the sky!"

   "Hi, Arigado! Sorry for the trouble, Yamakawa-san!"

  The two of them were like secret agents, and they separated after speaking.

  Naoki Naoyama watched Shigeru Yamakawa disappear into the darkness, and just about to turn his head, he heard Akina's voice:

   "Naoki-san? What are you doing?"

  Akina Nakamori came out after worshiping the gods, and saw Naoki Nagayama outside, with doubts on his face.

   "Ah, I can't bear to look at the pond~" Naoki Yongshan quickly found an excuse, and then walked towards the edge of the pond next to him.

  Akina Nakamori also followed, whispering: "What can I see at night?"

   "In short, there are many, such as moonlight, water surface, and lotus~" Naoki Yongshan walked to the pool with Mingcai.

  There is a bright moon in the sky, and there is also a bright moon in the water.

  The breeze wrinkled a pool of clear water, crushed the bright moonlight, and sprinkled it on the water surface like the night sky. The sparkling waves were like the twinkling stars in the sky.

   "It's so beautiful~~~" Nakamori Akina also praised.

  Naoki Naoyama stood next to Akina Nakamori by the lake, feeling that the people next to him were so close to him.

   "Actually, the lotus in the Unbearable Pond has bloomed in the past two days, so it looks beautiful~"

  Akina Nakamori also turned her head and looked around after hearing it, but the lotus may be beautiful during the day, but at night, only the dark shadows of the lotus leaves can be seen.

   "Yes. It's a pity that I can't see clearly at night~"

   "Oh? How come? It's obviously very good-looking?!" Naoki Yongshan turned his head and said to Akina, and quietly pressed the remote control in his pocket.

  Akina Nakamori looked at the guy next to him with a look of looking at Baga: "Naoki Sangyu wants to lie to me"

   Thought that Naoki Naoyama was joking with himself, Akina Nakamori wanted to say something, but was stunned by the scene in front of him: "Huh?"

  In an instant, the "Lotus" lit up in the Unbearable Pond, as if suddenly blooming at this moment, bright red, pink white, bright yellow, indigo

  From near to far, high and low, sparse and dense are spread among the lotus leaves in the pond, like colorful lotus ponds falling from Gaotianyuan.

   Immersed in this unreal scene, the little girl was captured by such a fantastic and magnificent scene,

"this"

   "Ming Caijiang, let's be surprised!" I heard Naoki Naoyama next to him say so.

  Akina Nakamori felt like she drank a lot of alcohol, and her head was a little dizzy

   A surge of emotion is generated from the chest,

   Then, like a flame filled with gasoline, it burned into the heart all of a sudden, throbbing non-stop, spreading to the face, and even the breath it exhaled became hot.

   "This is the surprise that Naoki-san said before!"

  The moonlight is like blue smoke, quietly covering the colorful lotus lanterns in this pool, like a veil covering the unbearable pool, and like a blurred dream.

  The little girl suddenly turned her head and looked seriously at Naoki Yongshan next to her. Her hasty voice was bold and direct: "Naoki-san! Do you have something to say to me!"

  Naoki Naoyama raised his head, thinking why the fireworks hadn't risen yet, and was attracted by Akina Nakamori's words.

  Akina next to her was looking at her with shortness of breath, with a stubborn and serious expression on her rosy face, and a bright light in her black and white beautiful eyes, clearly expressing the meaning——

   "If you don't say it, then I will say it!"

   Seeing such fiery and sincere eyes, Naoki Naoyama panicked for a while,

  That is a kind of eyes that you have recognized for a lifetime, and it is a firmness that you have never encountered in your previous life or this life.

  Can I give an equivalent response?

   "Mingcai."

   "Swoosh~bang~crack~"

  In the distance of the Unbearable Pond, as if agreed, bursts of purple and red burst out for a while, and blossoming flowers and fires bloom in the night sky, decorating the dark sky like a fairyland.

  Bright flames lit up the entire Shinobi Pond~

   Akina Nakamori, who was waiting for a response, was also attracted by this scene, and turned her head to look over.

   Against the background of the colorful fireworks, the pretty face flickers on and off, as beautiful as an unreal illusion.

  Yongshan Naoki stared at her like this, wanted to reach out to touch her, but put it back, fearing that this beautiful moment would be spoiled.

   During the pause between the fireworks, Naoki Naoyama finally spoke:

   "Mingcai?!"

   "Huh?" She turned around slightly, her beautiful eyes turned, and her eyes returned to Naoki Yongshan's face again.

"I like you!"

   "Ah!" As if a bubble had burst, Akina showed a bright smile, but asked as if to confirm again,

   "What did Naoki-san say?"

   "Akina, I like you!"

   Naoki Naoyama held her hand and further clarified his intentions,

".please date with me!"

  After hearing what she wanted to hear, Akina Nakamori felt like a flower had bloomed in her heart. A feeling called happiness filled her whole body and was still expanding.

  But the little girl didn't respond right away, instead she turned around slightly, like a baby:

   "What, suddenly said so, how do people answer?"

  Hands didn’t retract~

   Are you actually pretending to be shy at this time? Where did Minna, who looked so brave just now, go?

  Yongshan Naoki couldn't help but smile, took Ming Cai with both hands, moved a little closer, his eyes fell between her brows and eyes, and fixedly looked into her eyes:

   "Then, will Akina agree to date me?"

"Um!"

   responded with a soft sound.

   In fact, this moment of confession was written when the book was opened~ finally sent it~
