Chapter 403 402, The Moonlight Is so Beautiful Tonight

Chapter 403 402, the moonlight is so beautiful tonight~

Summer nights always come late.

But since it has come, it must be swift and hot.

When Naoki Nagayama drove out, he could still vaguely see some sunset glow, but when he arrived in Nakano District, it was so dim that he couldn't see the leaves of the roadside trees~

However, in the city that never sleeps with neon lights everywhere, the last thing to worry about is that you can't see at night.

There are rows of street lights on the road, emitting warm yellow light to guide the traffic ahead; there are shops on the roadside, emitting colorful and magnificent halos, attracting pedestrians walking; the glass windows between the high-rise buildings are dotted with stars in the air, illuminating the hardworking white-collar workers.

Looking up, when you are lucky, a bright moon will be in the sky, spreading a cool glow, covering the brightly lit city under the night with a layer of silver gauze, soothing the restless hearts in the city that never sleeps.

"The moonlight is so beautiful tonight~"

Naoki Nagayama sighed as he looked at the bright moon above his head.

The cool breeze of the summer night blew on his face, icy, as if silk was sliding across his face,

"The wind is also very gentle~"

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

"Akina~ I'm downstairs~"

"Ah~ Naoki-san~" The voice in the microphone sounded a little panicked, "Akidou Sack! I'll be down right away!"

Before the phone was hastily hung up, Naoki Nagayama seemed to hear the sound of something falling to the ground

"Could it be that the cosmetics fell~ Hahaha~"

At this time, Akina Nakamori was busy tidying up the bottles and jars on the table. Things that were not used often were placed on the small dressing table all of a sudden, which would be a mess~

"Yoshi, go down now!"

Finally, he looked in the mirror, and regardless of whether the mirror he put down knocked over another bottle, he ran out of the door with his small bag.

Naoki Nagayama drove the car to the apartment building and stopped not far away. Thinking that girls always need some time to put on makeup, he got out of the car and leaned against the door to wait for Akina.

The night wind was a bit cold. She was wearing a white T-shirt, a dark cardigan casually draped over her upper body, and a wide belt and ruffled linen suit pants on her lower body.

Under the light of the door of the apartment building not far away, she looked like a fashion model walking out of a magazine~

Fortunately, it was dark, otherwise all passers-by would have looked over.

About 5 minutes later, Akina Nakamori walked out of the door of the apartment building with a small bag.

The beige fluffy floral skirt was tied at the waist with a wide white belt, highlighting her slender waist.

After a short pause at the door, I saw Naoki Nagayama standing by the car not far away.

"Naoki-san!" He waved happily~

Naoki Nagayama naturally waved back, and then I saw Akina walking over quickly: "Has Naoki-san been waiting for a long time?"

"No~ I thought Akina would put on makeup for a while." Naoki Nagayama looked at Akina Nakamori casually, "Akina-chan looks so good!

Fresh and full of energy~"

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

"Naoki-san is also handsome!"

"Hahaha~ If someone heard it, I would think that two shameless guys were bragging to each other~

Get in the car~"

After Akina sat down, Naoki Nagayama started the car and slowly drove onto the highway from Nakano District to Taito District.

While keeping track of the direction, Naoki Nagayama chatted with Akina:

"Akina-chan, did you celebrate your birthday at the TV station today?"

"Yes! The staff of the program prepared a cake for me and blew out the candles~" Akina Nakamori happily shared what happened in the afternoon, "Finally, I shared a delicious cake with my friends present!"

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

"Ah! Yabai! I forgot!!!"

"What?" Naoki Nagayama was startled by Akina's voice, and hurriedly looked at the road ahead, and then turned to look at Akina Nakamori, "What did you forget?"

"Forgot the cake!!" Akina's little face was aggrieved, "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, lonely in the dark Just.

"Haha~ I actually got one too?" Naoki Naoyama was a little surprised. It was a cake prepared by the TV station~

"Yes, it's a very delicious cake! So I packed one for Naoki-san!" Akina emphasized the word delicious, as if she was advertising, "It's a pity that I didn't bring it over, Naoki-san can't eat it~"

Akina Nakamori looked at Naoki Naoyama with regret, looked at the road outside the window, and immediately suggested:

"Naoki-san, why don't we turn around now and go back to get it!"

Akina wanted to share all the good things with the people she cared about~

"Hahaha, we've walked a long way~" Naoki Naoyama laughed, "Why don't you give it to me when you come back~ I won't miss it then!"

"Okay~" Akina's tone was low for a moment, but she was full of energy again, "Naoki-san, where are we going to eat?"

"A western restaurant in Ueno, Taito District." Naoki Nagayama had already made a reservation, "After we finish eating, we can go to Ueno Park for a walk~"

"Eh? Is the surprise in the restaurant?" Akina Nakamori leaned over slightly, a sly smile appeared on her pretty face, and she said coquettishly, "Or in the park? Naoki-san, tell me~"

Naoki Nagayama did not satisfy the girl's curiosity, but replied vaguely: "You'll know when the time comes~"

"Tsk" complained childishly, "Mysterious~"

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

Apart from this topic, the two people on the road talked about interesting things that happened recently.

Perhaps because she was not able to participate in the show, Akina was very curious about the interesting things that happened during the filming of "Hot Blood High School". She even asked about the disobedient crow and how Nagayama Kaede taught other actors how to swear on the set.

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

"Hahaha~ Then I will say that it was Naoki-san who taught you bad things!" Akina didn't care at all and kept laughing in the co-pilot.

"Then I have nowhere to complain."

The night trip was very smooth. As he was talking, Nagayama Naoki had already found that he had arrived in Ueno, Taito District, and quickly arrived at a two-story Western restaurant according to the address in his memory.

In the small garden outside, the two-story building exuded soft lights, and the marble floor inside. The plain white tablecloth and silver tableware were carefully designed by the restaurant waiters, reflecting a cold and high-end feeling.

There are fewer seats on the second floor. The pianist in the middle plays soft music, making the whole restaurant feel happy.

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

"Akina, what do you want to eat?"

At this time, Naoki Nagayama inexplicably exuded the aura of a nouveau riche, and he just needed to say "order whatever you want."

"Hey, I want... grilled steak with black pepper and seafood pasta with pesto sauce."

Akina flipped through the menu, while Naoki Nagayama exchanged glances with the familiar waiter, and only felt relieved after receiving a positive signal.

"Okay, where's Naoki-san?" Akina handed the menu to Naoki Nagayama.

"Then I'll have butter ribeye steak and truffle and mushroom baked chicken."

Because they had to drive, they didn't drink alcohol, and the two ordered ice juice and soda water to go with the meal.

After returning the menu to the waiter, Naoki Nagayama continued to chat with Akina Nakamori.

"Akina-chan will have a national concert at the end of the month. Before that, she has to go abroad to shoot in so many countries. Won't she be very busy?"

"No way, it's work~" At this time, Akina already has the mentality of a senior worker, "But in the intervals between shooting, you can still go to 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 advertised Rome to the entire international community.

Now which girl in which country doesn't want to go to the "Mouth of Truth" to try whether the person they love really loves them?

"Roman Holiday?"

Naoki Nagayama thought of the movie and laughed. Although it seems that the plot in it is full of fantasy now, it is still a question whether the camera that is placed in the lighter has been invented now.

"Which city does Naoki-san want to go to the most?" Akina asked curiously.

"For me, it's probably Norway~" Naoki Nagayama said.

"Huh? Why?"

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

"Is "Norwegian Wood" good?" At this time, Akina's English level was average, and she didn't listen to foreign songs 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", and let the whole world know the name of Norway again.

Speaking of which, movies, novels, and songs are really important means of urban cultural output. No matter which field has a popular work, the popularity of that city will definitely be greatly improved.

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

Both of them had steak first, but Akina's black pepper grilled steak tasted more spicy, while Naoki Nagayama's butter ribeye steak was milky.

The tender steak, accompanied by the rich aroma of sauce, burst out in the mouth, making people's appetite.

The following dishes, seafood pasta with pesto sauce and baked chicken with truffle and 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 had almost finished eating, Naoki Nagayama wiped the corners of his mouth and signaled the waiter to serve dessert.

"Akina, the food in this restaurant is pretty good, right?"

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

Naoki Nagayama thought for a moment: "This time it was introduced by a friend. Generally speaking, in addition to seeing it in food magazines, there are also friends who introduce it~"

Speaking of which, since they found out that he likes food, Idou Shuichi, Yoshimura Otomo and other friends would introduce him to restaurants from time to time.

"I think it might be very popular if we make a show about going around and 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, and looked at the person opposite with her eyes wide open.

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

Then he sang along with everyone: "Happy Birthday To YouHappy 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 on, make a wish and blow out the candles~"

"Hi!"

The birthday boy glanced at Nagayama Naoki, quickly closed his eyes, and then made another birthday wish before opening his eyes and blowing out the candles on the cake~

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~

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

"Akina-chan, this is a special ice cream cake!"

"Yeah! It's 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 a blessing to Akina, they can get a free order!"

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!!!" Akina Nakamori 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 under the night, Akina felt the cool breeze caressing her cheeks, blowing away the previous heat, and her thoughts sobered up.

I was thinking about the two wishes I made while 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: "Zhi Shu Mulang"

"Ah! Akina, look!" Nagayama Naoki suddenly pointed forward and spoke, interrupting Nakamori Akina's words, "The Shinobazu Pond is here!"

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?"

"Maybe~" Nagayama Naoki urged, "Anyway, Akina, let's go pay our respects first!"

Although Nakamori Akina was a little strange, she still followed the rules of worshiping gods, cleaned her hands, made offerings, and then whispered a wish to the gods devoutly.

However, Nagayama Naoki on the other side was not so pious. He glanced at Shanchuan Fangong next to a certain hall and hurriedly walked over:

"Shanchuan-san, how are you? Are you okay?"

"Silly tape!" Shankawa Fanggong looked confident and handed Naoki Nagayama 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 Shanchuansang!"

The two people were like agents connecting, and after speaking, they separated.

Naoki Nagayama watched the figure of Yamakawa Hanukong 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 the Kantozu Pond~" Nagayama Naoki quickly made an excuse, and then walked towards the side of the pond.

Akina Nakamori followed him, whispering, "What can we see at night?"

"A lot, moonlight, water, lotus~" Naoki Nagayama 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 ripples the clear water, crushing the bright moonlight and scattering it on the water surface that looks like the night sky. The sparkling waves are like the twinkling stars in the sky.

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

Naoki Nagayama stood next to Akina Nakamori by the lake, feeling that the person next to him was so close to him.

"Actually, the lotus flowers in Shinobazu Pond have bloomed in the past two days, and they are so beautiful~"

After hearing this, Akina Nakamori also turned around and looked around. Although the lotus flowers may be beautiful during the day, at night you can only see the dark shadows of the lotus leaves. You can't say it's beautiful in a guilty conscience:

"Yeah. It's a pity that you can't see it clearly at night~"

"Oh? How could it be? It's obviously very beautiful?!" Naoki Nagayama turned his head and said to Akina, quietly pressing the remote control in his pocket.

Akina Nakamori looked at the guy next to her with a look of disgust: "Naoki-san, don't try to fool me."

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

Instantly, the "lotus flowers" in Shinobazu Pond lit up, as if they suddenly bloomed at this moment, bright red, pink, bright yellow, indigo

From near to far, high and low, sparse and dense, they were spread among the lotus leaves in the pond, as if the colorful lotus pond had fallen from Takama-ga-hara.

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

"This"

"Akina-chan, surprise!" Only heard Naoyama Naoki next to her say this.

Akina Nakamori felt like she had drunk a lot of wine, and her head was a little dizzy.

A surge of emotions was generated from her chest,

and then it burned into her heart like a flame with gasoline, bang bang bang, and spread to her face, and even the breath she exhaled became hot.

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

The moonlight was like green smoke, quietly covering the colorful lotus lanterns in the pond, as if a layer of gauze was covered on the Shinobazu Pond, and it was like a hazy dream.

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

Naoki Nagayama raised his head, thinking about why the fireworks had not risen yet, and was attracted by Akina Nakamori's words.

Akina next to him was looking at him with rapid breathing. Her rosy little face was stubborn and serious. Her beautiful eyes were bright and clearly expressed the following meaning——

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

Being looked at by such a passionate and sincere look, Naoki Nagayama was a little flustered for a while.

It was a look that was determined to be for a lifetime, a firmness that he had never encountered in his previous life or this life.

Can he give the same response?

"Akina."

"Swoosh~bang~pop~"

In the distance of Shinobazu Pond, as if it was agreed, a myriad of colors burst out at once, and fireworks kept blooming in the night sky, decorating the dark sky 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 tilted her head to look over.

Against the colorful fireworks, her beautiful face flickered, and it was so beautiful that it seemed like an unreal illusion.

Naoki Nagayama looked at her like this, wanting to reach out and touch her, but put it back, afraid of puncturing this beautiful moment.

In the interval when the fireworks paused for a while, Naoki Nagayama finally spoke:

"Akina?!"

"Hmm?" She turned slightly, her beautiful eyes swirling, and her gaze returned to Naoki Nagayama's face again.

"I like you!!"

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

"What did Naoki-san say?"

"Akina, I like you!"

Naoki Nagayama held her hand and further clarified his feelings,

".Please date me!"

Hearing what she wanted to hear, Akina Nakamori felt like a flower bloomed in her heart, and a feeling called happiness filled her whole body and continued to expand.

However, the little girl did not respond immediately, but turned around slightly, like a spoiled child:

"What, suddenly saying this, how can people answer."

But her hand did not retract~

Pretending to be shy at this time? Where is Akina, who looked so brave just now?

Naoki Nagayama couldn't help but smile, holding Akina with both hands, and moved a little closer, his eyes fell between her eyebrows, and he looked into her eyes:

"So, Akina agrees to date me?"

"Yes!"

A soft response.

In fact, this confession moment was written when the book was opened~ Finally posted~
