Tokyo bubble life

Chapter 784 792, How to quickly break the awkwardness when meeting parents.

It snowed again last night and the wind continued until one or two o'clock in the morning.

How did Naoki Nagayama know?

Because a nervous girlfriend couldn't sleep until one or two in the morning, she pulled Nagayama Naoki to ask all kinds of things, including what kind of gifts were suitable, what were the character traits of Nagayama's parents, and were there any There are certain customs to pay attention to and so on.

In the end, I fell asleep and kept turning over until dawn the next day.

It seems to be a regular pattern, it snowed all night and it was sunny during the day the next day.

Nagayama Naoki and Nakamori Akina got up very early this time and drove back in the snow in time for lunch. It was probably much slower than before. If they wanted to arrive before noon, there would not be so much time to waste.

Nagayama Naoki simply made breakfast, and saw Akina hurriedly ran down and stood in front of him:

"Naoki-san, can't you see the dark circles under my eyes? There's also this pimple on my forehead."

Yes, being too nervous caused acne to appear~

"Peace of mind, you can't tell!"

Nagayama Naoki looked at Akina, who was wearing light makeup in front of him. His expression could still be seen as a little tired, and his eyes were still a little bloodshot. On the one hand, I didn't sleep well, and on the other hand, I have been really busy at work recently.

"And acne is a symbol of youth, so what does it matter~"

"." Nakamori Akina looked at it again and again with the small mirror in her hand, "Go to Naoki-san's house in the best condition!"

Looking at the fair and tender cheeks in front of him, Nagayama Naoki stepped forward and kissed:

"It looks great already!"

"Ah Naoki-san!" Akina was a little annoyed and punched Nagayama Naoki's arm with a small fist, "I'm going to touch up my makeup again!"

"."

With such a delicate face and no powder stuck on it, what should I be afraid of?

Even with Naoki Nagayama's comfort, Akina Nakamori didn't really relax. After breakfast, packing the gifts, and getting in the car, she was still a little restless.

"Naoki-san, did you forget to bring anything?" Akina Nakamori asked, looking at the gifts on the back seat.

"I can't even remember the things I forgot to bring~" Naoki Nagayama shook his head.

"Naoki-san, where's the gift for Weeda?" Akina was still patrolling.

"In the trunk~"

"Oh~"

About to drive, Akina suddenly saw the big dog outside the car window:

"Ah, Naoki-san, Yutaro didn't bring him!"

"We're only going back for one day. There's no need for Taro Ying to take him with us."

"Oh~"

"."

After the car started, Akina finally calmed down, but she still looked at the scenery outside the window nervously.

Are you so nervous? Naoki Nagayama is a little helpless.

So I found an album "Floating Space" by Aran Zhizi from the tape in the car and played it. The famous citypop singer from the 1980s, with his lazy voice and relaxing melody, made the car seem like a bar at night, full of alcohol. The intoxicated and slow-dancing crowd filled the air with a relaxing atmosphere~

Sure enough, after hearing the music, Akina seemed to relax a lot and even started to hum along.

"I seem to be listening to more and more songs of Naoki-san's style~"

"Well, citypop, disco, rock and roll," Naoki Nagayama gave an example, "After the neon ballad craze, we have more and more contact with Western music. There will be more and more of this kind of music! Just like Japan For the Record Awards, maybe pop music will be chosen, this is a trend~"

"That's it~"

Nakamori Akina has not yet considered the music style at this time. She simply thinks these songs are good.

"Maybe Akina will sing this type of song in the future!"

Nagayama Naoki said that he knew that Akina had a song "OH, NO!" in his later period. OH, YES! ” is also a widely sung city pop song.

"It should be very easy to sing." Akina smiled. With such a brisk music style, she would be very happy when singing.

In this way, the two of them were chatting and listening to music while driving, and their nervousness seemed to disappear.

On the expressway from Tokyo to Shizuoka, the snow on the road must have been cleared by snow plows. Only the shoulders of the road are still covered with thick snow.

Looking at both sides of the highway, only the brown trunks and some green leaves of the trees can be seen in the distant woods. The rest of the place is completely white, slightly melting in the sun, reflecting the crystal light.

But when you get to the beach, it's better. You can see the blue sea on the other side. The never-ending waves hit the shore, and the white waves they bring up sometimes gather together with the snow on the shore. Unclear~

The slippery ground made it difficult to drive too fast. It was already past 11 o'clock when Naoki Nagayama arrived in Shizuoka, driving a full hour longer than before.

"We're finally here!" Naoki Nagayama breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the building that was starting to become familiar to him.

"Is it about to arrive?" Akina next to her visibly stiffened a little, and suddenly looked at the gas station next to her and said, "Naoki-san, we've arrived at the gas station, don't you need to refuel?"

"Eh? There's still plenty of oil." Naoki Nagayama looked at the strange nervous yet shy expression on Akina's face, and seemed to understand something. "Ahem, just fill it up. By the way, I just want to go to the bathroom. Is Akina going? "

"I'm going to touch up my makeup"

Sure enough, being so nervous that I wanted to go to the bathroom was almost a joke on "The Best Ten"~

Finally, the car drove to that familiar building!

Naoki Nagayama got out of the car and picked up his things, and said with a smile: "The most critical moment has come. I will see my father and mother soon. Is Akina even more nervous?"

"." Why do I suddenly want to punch this handsome face? !

"Okay, follow me!"

Without continuing to create tension, Naoki Nagayama took the lead and pushed open the courtyard door, then walked towards the door of the house.

"Father, mother. I'm back!" Naoki Nagayama opened the door and walked to the entrance, shouting towards the house.

"Welcome home!"

Nanako Nagayama came out of the kitchen, and saw the beautiful girl following her son. She was a little stunned.

This is what ordinary people do when they suddenly meet a celebrity~

"Mom, this is my girlfriend, Akina Nakamori." Nagayama Naoki had to introduce her, "Akina, this is my mother, Nanako Nagayama~"

Akina Nakamori immediately bowed and said quickly: "Nanako-san, it's our first meeting. I am Akina Nakamori who is dating Naoki-san. Please give me more advice in the future~"

"Ah, I am Naoki's mother, please give me more advice"

Although she had met her elder brother Aoki's girlfriend once, she had some experience, but at this time, Nanako was a little nervous. After all, the first one was an ordinary small town girl, and the other was a nationally famous star.

After the two introduced themselves, they didn't know how to continue for a while~

It seemed that they were about to freeze at the entrance, but it was Naoki Nagayama who broke the deadlock:

"Mother, Akina brought you a gift~"

"Ah, yes." Akina Nakamori hurriedly took out a gift from the bag in her hand and handed it to Nanako Nagayama, "Nanako-san, this is the silk scarf I brought when I went abroad before."

Mother Nanako also took it, as if this was the beginning of the process, and began to be humble:

"Ah, thank you so much~ Why is it so expensive?"

"No, no, because I saw it and thought it should be very suitable."

"Come in quickly and put your things down."

The polite words between you and me became the best icebreaker, allowing the atmosphere between Akina Nakamori and mother Nanako to quickly return to a non-awkward state.

Otherwise, this kind of polite words would be passed down, this is all the practical experience of the previous generation, quickly narrowing the distance, it is really useful!

Walking to the Japanese-style room in the living room, my father, Ken Nagayama, was dressed very formally, pretending to sit upright and read a newspaper.

"Father, this is my girlfriend, Akina Nakamori~" Nagayama Naoki introduced again, "Akina, this is my father, Ken Nagayama."

"Mr. Nagayama, nice to meet you. I am Akina Nakamori!" Akina Nakamori bowed again and said hello, "Please give me your guidance~"

"Yes, it's our first meeting, please give me your guidance." Ken Nagayama nodded seriously, his eyes seemed to look at Akina Nakamori, and then lowered his head to look at the newspaper.

Akina Nakamori became more nervous, but under Nagayama Naoki's eyes, he still remembered his gift:

"Mr. Nagayama, this is a gift for you. I heard that you love tea, so I asked someone to bring it from China. "

Ken Nagayama raised his head again and took the gift bag: "Thank you for your hard work!"

"." Akina Nakamori slowly retracted her outstretched arm, and for a moment she didn't know how to reply.

Naoki-san's father is really so taciturn!

Naoki Nagayama didn't care. He put the gift in his hand and the gift bag in Akina's hand in the corner of the living room and said to his mother who had just come in:

"Mom, there are some gifts for my elder brother and Yecao. Tsuruko's share will be given to her directly~"

"It's really troublesome." Naoki Nagayama brought two cups of hot tea and asked Naoki Nagayama and Akina Nakamori to sit down. "It must be very cold on the road. Come and have a cup of hot tea."

"Arigato~" Akina Nakamori took the tea and knelt down on the mat obediently, as if she was participating in some ceremony.

The mother was busy for a while, and when the four people finally sat around the low table, the real test was coming!

Some people say that bringing a boyfriend/girlfriend home is actually an interview, and it makes sense that you need to get the approval of both parents before you can continue the relationship~

So the elders must ask questions first:

"Akina-chan, when did you meet my Naoki?"

"In 1949." Nakamori Akina still remembers, "We met while dancing~"

"In a dance hall?" Mother Nanako was a little surprised, "Akina-chan was just in high school at that time"

Nagayama Naoki felt that his thigh under the table was grabbed by Akina's hand and it was a bit painful.

"Well, at that time, I was celebrating my adulthood with my older sister at home." Nakamori Akina explained carefully, absolutely not wanting to leave any impression of a bad girl on Naoki's parents.

"Oh~ then we should celebrate" Nanako Nagayama nodded, "Akina-chan also debuted that year, right?"

"Hey, I participated in "Star! Birth!" that year"

"Have you liked singing since you were a child? So you want to participate in talent shows?"

"My mother likes singing very much, so I also like to participate in talent shows. The main reason is that I want to become a star and make money to support my family"

"What a filial daughter~"

"No way."

"I heard that Akina-chan has a big family?"

"Hi, there are six of us brothers and sisters."

"."

Mother Nanako was the one talking, Akina Nakamori answered politely, Naoki Nagayama occasionally helped answer, and the last of the four, father Ken Nagayama, quietly drank tea and listened, occasionally nodded or smiled.

They talked for almost half an hour, and the whistle of the pressure cooker came from the kitchen, and mother Nanako suddenly remembered:

"Ah, there is still soup in the kitchen."

She stood up quickly and rushed to the kitchen.

Akina Nakamori also stood up: "I'll help too"

"How can that be~ Akina-chan is a guest~"

"Dumb tape, I'm the one who cooks at home"

"How can that be embarrassing."

During the conversation, the two went to the kitchen together to work, but the atmosphere was much more relaxed than the simple chat before. Akina could also be heard praising the aroma of the soup, saying that Naoki-san's cooking skills were inherited from Nanako-san and so on.

In any case, it's always right to praise the other person's son.

I didn't expect that Akina is also very good at mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationships~

Naoki Nagayama took a sip of tea and looked at his father opposite, and happened to meet Ken Nagayama's eyes:

"Why didn't father ask?"

"Your mother asked. I don't know what to ask." Ken Nagayama said, and then looked at Naoki Nagayama, "And Naoki, you have grown up, and your achievements are far higher than your father, even higher than your grandfather. You should still make your own decisions."

"Haha, father is still very good at talking~" Naoki Nagayama said with a smile.

"."

Ken Nagayama didn't know whether he should scold his frivolous son.

The lunch was unusually rich, with shrimps just caught in Shizuoka, grilled eels, kelp rib soup, curry beef, rare honeydew melon, and many side dishes.

It was even richer than the New Year's Eve dinner. This must have been prepared by his mother early, and maybe with the help of his father.

"I'm starting~"

Naoki Nagayama drove for a whole morning, and his breakfast was almost digested, so he ate it in big mouthfuls.

And Akina Nakamori next to him was quietly picking up the dishes with small mouthfuls, and even the sound of chewing could not be heard, fully reflecting the style of eating and sleeping without talking.

The father was also eating silently, and the mother occasionally asked if the food was to Akina's taste.

"Is the eldest brother the chef of the izakaya today?" Naoki Nagayama asked.

"Well, he can be independent now~" The father nodded. Since the eldest brother got married and had children, he seemed to have really settled down, and even rarely went fishing.

"Is that so? Then maybe we can try the show we talked about before next year~" Naoki Nagayama whispered.

"What show?" Nakamori Akina was a little curious.

"A food variety show~" Naoki Nagayama smiled, "I plan to use the izakaya at home as one of the scenes"

"Hey~~"

After chatting for a while, Naoki Nagayama looked at his father again:

"By the way, didn't Dad and Mom buy an apartment in Bunkyo-ku before?"

"Yes, that's the case, what's the matter?"

"It has risen a lot now." Naoki Nagayama asked, "I think the housing prices in Tokyo will still rise in the next few years, and it will be very fast. So I want to ask you, do you want to mortgage that house and take out a loan to buy two smaller ones?"

"Is it okay? Then What should I do to repay the loan? "

"The increase in the house price has been fully covered, and it will exceed it by a lot." Naoki Nagayama said, "If you agree, I will arrange to continue to mortgage, and then sell the first set in the end. It is estimated that the positive cycle will be formed within five years."

"This"

The father is a little unsure, but the mother Nanako is very open-minded.

"Just listen to Naoki. Naoki now makes more money than us, and even grandfather combined. It won't be wrong to listen to him!"

"Then I will start to arrange it after I go back~" Naoki Nagayama decided directly.

The parents use the operation of circular mortgage to double the assets, and the eldest brother makes more money through the show, so the family life is basically worry-free~
