Chapter 623 631, I'm Sorry! I'd Rather Die than Let My Friend Die!

Naoki Nagayama stayed in the courtyard of Kyoto for three days.

Every day when you open your eyes, you see the beautiful scenery of green mountains and green waters; when you are hungry, you take out the stored ingredients from the refrigerator to make a delicious meal, or you can ask a dedicated chef to cook it; when you are full, you take a walk to the backyard On the small hill, worship the Bodhisattva; when you are idle and bored, you can watch TV in the living room and read in the study; when you are tired, you can use the feed to entertain the koi in the pond.

Fully enjoy the decadent life in a capitalist country~

It's just a bit lonely. Although you can chat on the phone, you can't see anyone. It's okay for a short stay. But for a long time, it's almost like a monk practicing hard in the mountains~

So before it was fully dark that day, Naoki Nagayama embarked on his journey back to Tokyo!

Nagayama Naoki was called back by a call from Itou Shuichi, the night before:

"Naoki-san, the power-on ceremony will begin tomorrow! Are you back?!"

"tomorrow?"

"Yes, tomorrow morning!" The voice on the phone was a little anxious, "At 9 o'clock in the morning, it will be in that restaurant! Naoki-san, you haven't forgotten, have you?"

"Um" Nagayama Naoki was stunned for a moment, "If I said yes, Shuichi-san wouldn't come to Kyoto at night, would he?"

".Not really~" For some reason, Nagayama Naoki seemed to hear the overwhelmed squeaking sound of the microphone on the opposite side, "But if Naoki-san doesn't show up at the restaurant at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning, I will go to Yamazakura every night from now on." It’s in the closet in the courtyard!”

This threat is too terrifying! Naoki Nagayama had to take the Shinkansen back to Tokyo early in the morning

The sky slowly brightened, and the morning light seemed to tear through the remnants of the night in an instant, awakening the silent mountains and plains. The crystal dewdrops dissipated in the white morning light, and the trees and wild grass were now translucent green, as if they had just been washed.

Seeing the date on the passenger newspaper, Nagayama Naoki suddenly realized that he had been in Kyoto for a few days and it was already May!

"Time passed by so casually!"

Naoki Nagayama, who came out of Tokyo Station, did not choose to go back to Yamazakura-in. Instead, he took a taxi directly to the filming location of "Love Will End", a comprehensive home with a cafe, dessert shop and restaurant. Dining room.

It was already half past eight when Nagayama Naoki arrived. At this time, there were many people in front of the restaurant, and there were also some temporary rain shelters, shrines and other things used for the power-on blessing ceremony.

"Haha, Shuichi-san, I'm here!" He saw Yido Shuichi in the crowd and quickly went to report his arrival.

"I still caught up!" I don't know why, Shuichi-san's tone was a little disappointed. Could it be that he couldn't get into Sakurain's closet openly? "I thought Kyoto was so unforgettable that Naoki-san might not be able to return. Come~"

"Yes, the scenery is indeed nice~" Naoki Nagayama said, "But how could I miss Shuichi-san's movie opening ceremony? I got up at six in the morning! Just so I wouldn't be late!"

When Yi Tangxiu saw this, he didn't say anything more: "Naoki-san, get ready. When the power-on ceremony is over, there may be reporters who will conduct a brief interview."

"Are there any reporters left to interview?" Naoki Nagayama turned around and looked around, and sure enough he saw many people with cameras. I thought they were all crew members!

"Just a few words~"

Itou Shuichi said briefly, and then turned around to greet the goddess in a grand dress.

The elderly goddess's living standard has obviously improved a lot in the past two years. Her face is rosy, her eyes are bright, and she is full of energy. Even the strange mop-like dress made of colorful cloth strips has been replaced by a silk scarf. of!

Nagayama Naoki couldn't help but shook his head as he watched Itou Shuichi and the Goddess greet each other warmly, as if they were still asking if it would be a hindrance if it rained today.

Now, as a soul who grew up in a materialistic education, he has to be in awe of the power in the dark.

As the time approaches, the creative team of "Love Has Ended Like the Rain" have all arrived, and with the crisp sound of a Buddhist bell, the film's start-up blessing ceremony officially begins!

"√*℡" The goddess recited incomprehensible spells and danced in front of the altar.

Although Nagayama Naoki thought she was just dancing blindly, in front of the shrine filled with incense, it seemed that this very old goddess had also received some mysterious bonuses, making everyone who came to participate look solemn.

Only Nagayama Naoki recalled the domestic popular science documentary "The Wizard's Deception" he had watched in his previous life, and wild thoughts kept popping up in his lowered head:

"If I go up now and perform a performance of breathing fire with rosin powder, using oil mixed with vinegar to rub a frying pan with my bare hands, or turning an empty pot into a snake, will it be considered a wizard coming down to earth?"

"It seems that Qigong is very popular in China right now. Why don't you pretend to be a Qigong master?"

After thinking for a long time, Nagayama Naoki gave up. He said that it was better to stay away from these things!

After about ten minutes, the goddess panted and stopped her devilish steps, and signaled to Yi Tang Shuichi that she had already informed the gods and could burn incense!

Itou Shuichi led a group of people to respectfully offer incense, and then announced to everyone who came to participate:

"Mina-san, "Love Will End Like the Rain" officially starts filming today!"

Amidst the applause of the crowd, Itou Shuichi once again said to the media reporters: "Dear reporters, please move to the main entrance, where we will take photos and accept interviews~"

Everyone took a group photo in front of the restaurant, and then the question-and-answer session began.

After asking a few innocuous questions to the main actors such as Takewaki Muga and Kohiruimaki Kaoru, the reporters looked at Naoki Nagayama who was trying to hide in the crowd.

"Mr. Naoki Nagayama, can I ask a question?" A reporter saw that Naoki Nagayama still wanted to hide in the main creative team, and said directly, "A handsome man like you can't hide! Please come to the front, okay?"

"."

Since he was called out like this, Naoki Nagayama had no choice but to stand up, and it was definitely not because he was praised for his handsomeness

"Mr. Naoki, you didn't come to the last movie release meeting, what was the reason?"

"Uh, I went to Kyoto for some personal matters."

"Oh? Didn't you go to secretly shoot a movie?" A voice in the reporter group asked

".No"

It seems that it is no longer a secret that he likes to make movies alone~

"Naoki-san, you have been in Kyoto for so long, are you dating someone?" "Mr. Naoki, are you planning to get married recently?" "Mr. Nagayama, I often took pictures of you and some idols going to KTV for a while, is that true?"

Gradually, the original movie unveiling meeting was about to become a personal interview with Naoyama Naoyama. Naoyama Naoyama didn't know whether he should reply for a while. Anyway, he should find a chance to divert the attention of reporters!

"Director Naoki, you wrote the script of this movie, why don't you direct it yourself?" Another reporter asked.

Ah! That's it! I'd rather die than die with my friend! I'm sorry, Shuichi-san!

"Because the script of this movie was created based on Shuichi-san's first love story!" Naoyama Naoki said the news that shocked everyone at the scene without changing his expression!

"?" First, the leading actor Takewaki Muga, who was standing next to him, looked at him with surprise.

"???" Then came the actors around him.

"???" The reporters who asked the questions seemed to be shocked by the news.

"???" This is the crew member with his mouth wide open.

"?" This is the fortune teller who doesn't understand the situation.

"!!!!!!" This is Shuichi Ito who was laughing at Naoki Nagayama being besieged by reporters.

In an instant, all eyes turned to Shuichi Ito.

"Director Ito!" "Director Ito, is this true?" "Director Ito, is this movie a commemoration of your first love?" "Is Director Ito's first love in middle age?!" "Is Kaoru Kohireimaki the type of director's first love?" "Does Director Ito's first love know about this?" "."

A storm of questions was thrown at Shuichi Ito, the click of the flash was like lightning, and the noisy air was like a whistling wind, making this guy thoroughly enjoy the feeling of being in the center of the storm.

At this time, the first thought that came to Shuichi Ido's mind was:

"This report will be seen by my wife, Kaori Ido!"

Then the second one was: "Naga! Yama! Naoki! I will definitely run into your closet tonight! With a knife!!!"

While Shuichi-san was besieged, Naoki Nagayama quietly slipped out and took a taxi to Yamazakurain.

In the car, Naoki Nagayama comforted himself:

"Everything is for the movie~ I can be considered to have made the movie more popular, right! For the sake of art, Shuichi-san sacrificed such a little reputation, you shouldn't blame me, right! You definitely won't blame me, right!"

After arriving at Yamazakurain, Naoki Nagayama affectionately stroked the dog that pounced on him. Although he had been out for a few days, he also hired someone to walk the dog! There was enough food in the automatic feeder in the room.

"Yingtaro, you must be alert today, okay?" After Naoki Nagayama calmed the dog down, he began to give instructions, "If any strange guy wants to sneak in, you must roar loudly! Be a Roaring Sky Dog! It's okay to pounce on him and bite him a few times! Got it?!"

"Woof woof woof! Woof woof!" Yingtaro must have understood, and his barking just now must mean "I know, master!"

After walking around the living room and the yard, he saw Meowtaro on the eaves of the porch:

"Meowtaro, you too, if someone wants to climb in from the second floor, you can also catch him twice!"

"." The cat looked at the two-legged beast with a cold look.

"Ha, I'll take it as if you already understand~"

After staying at home for a while and dealing with the chores of the past three days, including the mail bills and voice messages sent to him, Naoki Nagayama did not eat lunch at home, but drove directly to the studio.

"Naoki-san? Aren't you supposed to be at the opening ceremony?" Yoshimura Otomo in the office asked in surprise, "Is it over already?"

"Haha, I sneaked back." Naoki Nagayama said with a smile, but didn't tell Otomo-san the real reason, "By the way, Otomo-san. I plan to take a long vacation."

"Take a long vacation?" Yoshimura Otomo looked over with surprise, "Naoki-san, it's not summer yet!"

The boss of his company must take a long vacation in the summer and winter of the year, ranging from half a month to a month; and in normal times, he will also take vacations at irregular intervals in spring and autumn. The shortest is three days, and the longest is a week. This is an open secret of the Shuyou Group.

"It's not because of time," said Naoki Nagayama.

"What's the reason?" Yoshimura Otomo asked.

"You'll soon know that I'll rarely appear during this period!" Nagayama Naoki felt a little guilty.

"." In this case, Yoshimura Otomo didn't ask the reason ". Then, how long will Naoki-san take a break?"

"Until Shuichi-san is no longer angry!"

"???"

"Anyway, is there anything you need me to deal with recently? I'll take care of it now!" Nagayama Naoki urged.

"Um, this" When it comes to business, Yoshimura Otomo also resumed his conscientious attitude, "You need to sign the payroll of the headquarters this month. And the project budget of "Hot Blood School 2" needs to form a production committee."

Most of the documents that need to be finally handled by Nagayama Naoki are those that have been reviewed by Yoshimura Otomo and Idou Shuichi, and he just needs to make the final confirmation on the process.

Naoki Nagayama dealt with it quickly, and then said something strange to Yoshimura Otomo:

"Otomo-san, don't tell Shuichi-san that I've been here!"

"???"

It was almost noon, and Naoki Nagayama didn't take the company's work lunch box, and stepped on the accelerator all the way to Harajuku.

It was not a weekend or holiday, and although the KTV was open in the morning, there were almost no customers. The KTV seemed empty, and the waiters and supervisors in the store were all in a relaxed attitude.

"Naoki-san!" Supervisor Kurita Tetsuhiro saw Naoki Nagayama and hurried over to greet him.

"Tetsuhiro, is Brother Feng here?" Naoki Nagayama remembered that he should be here at this time.

"Ah, Brother Feng went to Roppongi, and called Brother Hamasaki Shogo and the group of people over." Kurita Tetsuhiro said, "It seems to be the demolition project of the new store."

"So fast?" It has only been three days, and the transfer procedures of Roppongi Bookstore have been handled?

"I don't know the details, but Brother Feng went with a designer." Tetsuhiro Kurita continued.

"Designer? Ishida Xinhai?" Naoki Naoyama suddenly said in his mind: "There is something wrong with these two guys!!!"

"Naoki-san?" Tetsuhiro Kurita saw that Naoki Naoyama didn't say anything, so he asked, "Do you want to open a private room to rest?"

"Oh, no need." Naoki Naoyama was originally looking for his cousin Naoyama Feng. Since he went to Roppongi, he didn't want to wait in the KTV. "I'll go to Roppongi to find him!"

"Hi~"

When he arrived in Roppongi, Naoki Naoyama felt that his schedule today must have exceeded the limit. From Kyoto to Tokyo, and then almost went around Tokyo. This is morning!

As the selected location of the bookstore, it has been cleared. A fence has been built at the door of the store, and several small engineering vehicles are parked next to it.

Walking into the fence, I saw that Naoyama Feng and a group of strong men were working hard!

"Brother Feng!" Naoki Naoyama walked over.

"Naoki?" Nagayama Feng clapped his hands and stood up. "Aren't you in Kyoto?"

"I came back this morning," Nagayama Naoki said perfunctorily. "Has the bookstore's transfer been completed? Why did you start decorating it?"

"It's being processed, but Keiko-san said that the owner of the land is very straightforward and it will be done soon."

"Then why did you ask the old people in the club to help? Isn't there a special company?" Nagayama Naoki looked at the dusty Hamasaki Shogo and others and couldn't help asking.

"Well, this is not to be faster!" Nagayama Feng sighed, "The day before yesterday, I saw a group of people in the KTV always looking around the store, and asked the waiter where the karaoke equipment came from. These guys must be competitors!"

KTV has been doing a booming business since it opened, and it has already gained a certain reputation among young people, so it is normal for peers to know about it.

These people who come to inquire may not necessarily open a KTV, but at least they want to understand the secret of KTV's money-making. When they find out that opening a KTV is very profitable, people who follow the trend will definitely emerge like mushrooms after rain!

"Is that so?"

"Yes, so I asked Hamasaki Shogo and the others to help, at least let this store be decorated quickly!" Nagayama Kaede said, "It would be best if it can be opened in June!"

". This. is not impossible." Nagayama Naoki asked, "Have the design drawings come out?"

"Ah! Xinhai-chan has already had a preliminary idea, and today I am here to observe on the spot!" Nagayama Kaede smiled and took Nagayama Kaede to the second floor, "She is taking notes in the office."

A small office, originally supposed to be used by the manager of the bookstore, all the information and other things were moved out, but there was still a table inside. Ishida Xinhai spread a design drawing on this table and drew a basic draft with a pencil.

"Naoki-san! You are back in Tokyo!"

The little girl came back with Takashi Honma on the first day she brought Naoyama Naoki to Kyoto. They have a lot of things to do!

"Well, I arrived this morning." Naoki Nagayama walked to the design drawing, "Is this the preliminary idea?"

"Hey! Because Brother Feng said that the faster the construction period, the better, so I plan to make more use of the original layout of the bookstore." Did Ishida Xinhai also call Brother Feng?

"Fortunately, the bookstore is used to install bookshelves, and there are large areas of blank space. But there are also several offices and toilets."

Speaking of his own profession, Ishida Xinhai changed his originally shy personality and became energetic, and told the two of them about the layout plan he had just made.

“If the design goes well, construction will be much easier!”

Nagayama Naoki nodded. He originally thought she was a young girl, more or less unwieldy, but she seemed to be very talented!

The smile on Yongshan Feng's face, who was standing aside, became even wider: "Xinhai-chan is indeed very powerful!"

"Where. This is the advice given by Mr. Honma." After saying this, his shy character came back. A shy blush appeared on Ishida Xinhai's face, and he didn't even dare to look at Yongshan Kaede's face.

"."

Nagayama Naoki wasn't sure if he was fed dog food. He just felt a little hungry now. It was already meal time!

Seeing the two guys squirming, Nagayama Naoki decided to add fuel to the fire:

"Brother Kaede, Xinhai-chan, it happens to be lunch time, let's go have a meal together! I'm treating you!"

"Huh? Is this okay?" Ishida Xinhai was a little hesitant.

"Haha, this is a reward for Xinhai-chan's hard work!" Nagayama Naoki said with a smile, "If you don't believe me, ask Brother Feng, he must think so too!"

I saw Yong Shanfeng beside him nodding his head.

"Then I'd be rude." Ishida Xinhai finally nodded.

Seeing the silly smile on his cousin's face, Nagayama Naoki silently thought about how he should leave without leaving a trace when the time comes.

Leave two people alone
