Chapter 1062: The charm of the Tyrannosaurus Rex, who can resist it?!

~13 min read 2,559 words

*Jurassic Park* the novel was released.

Compared to the promotional offensive of *Tiger of Ginza* and *The Voice of Japan*, this novel related to Naoki Nagayama seemed much more low-key. It was just placed on exhibition stands in prominent places in various bookstores, then posters were set up at the entrance, and some ground promotion was done in some dinosaur parks.

The primary and middle school students who were on summer vacation went out to play all day, so naturally, they saw this science fiction novel at first glance.

"*Jurassic Park*?"

Kyohei Horikawa, a second-year middle school student, originally came to the bookstore to buy supplementary books. He was stunned after seeing the mighty and domineering cover of this novel. The Tyrannosaurus Rex, Triceratops, etc., on it looked lifelike.

"Is this a book about dinosaur science?"

"This is a science fiction novel..." said the store manager who was organizing the books on the shelf. "It's very interesting, and it was written by Naoki Nagayama~"

"Naoki Nagayama?" Kyohei Horikawa was surprised. "Isn't he the one who writes romance novels?"

"Who knows... suddenly he wrote a science fiction one~" The store manager also didn't understand the great author's thoughts. "But this novel is very interesting~"

"Oh..." Kyohei Horikawa shrugged. "I'm here to buy supplementary books, I'm going to cram school..."

"Alright then, the supplementary books are on the shelf inside..."

"Arigato~"

Kyohei Horikawa found the supplementary books required by the teacher among a pile of books. He originally wanted to go pay directly, but his footsteps slowed down when passing by the *Jurassic Park* exhibition stand.

"It takes more than half an hour by train to get to cram school... I'll buy it to read, just to kill time..."

As a middle school student, his pocket money was naturally enough to buy a novel.

"Store manager-san, just these two..."

"Ha, as expected, you still bought it?" The store manager laughed looking at the novel with the Tyrannosaurus Rex on the cover. "As expected, kids your age definitely like dinosaurs!"

"Actually, I like Gao Da a bit more..."

Kyohei Horikawa explained silently. Ever since the *Mobile Suit Gao Da* animation aired, middle and primary school students in Japan, especially boys, had been very obsessed with Gao Da.

"It's just that the figures are a bit too expensive..."

"Yeah, yeah..."

The store manager also sighed and nodded. The figures were indeed very expensive...

After agreeing, the store manager reacted and looked at Kyohei Horikawa. They were instantly a bit awkward... The two people with a seven or eight-year age difference actually had a common hobby...

"Ahem... a total of 2600 yen..."

"Hai, please take it..."

After packing the two books, Kyohei Horikawa walked out of the bookstore quickly, avoiding the road with direct sunlight, and quickly came to the station.

At this time, there weren't many people on the train, and Kyohei Horikawa was lucky enough to find a seat, so he took *Jurassic Park* out of his school bag and started reading.

Before long, the story in the book conquered him. Genes, cloning, ancient creatures... building a zoo specifically for raising dinosaurs, and even letting everyone buy tickets to watch?!

Such unconstrained imagination made the originally introverted Kyohei Horikawa feel as if his brain had been knocked open, seeing a brand-new scenery that was hard to believe.

He read the novel with full concentration, finishing one page and turning to the next...

The train stopped and started at one station after another, and passengers on the train sat down and left one after another, but none of these disturbed Kyohei Horikawa as he wandered in the world of the book, experiencing novel and exciting adventure experiences with the protagonists.

Until...

"Terminal station Kita-Senju Station... arriving... Terminal station Kita-Senju Station... arriving..."

Kyohei Horikawa finally raised his head...

"??? Nani?!"

Looking at the name of the station, it was actually Kita-Senju Station... Kyohei Horikawa's cram school was in Bunkyo, but this was already past Ueno!

Looking at the time again... it was already noon!

He had actually stayed on the train for more than two hours!!

"Yabai..." Kyohei Horikawa, who got off the train in a daze, muttered to himself, "Cram school... completely missed it!"

Thinking of the expensive cram school... thinking that the cram school teacher might call home... thinking of the possible mixed doubles from his father and mother... thinking that his happy summer vacation was about to disappear...

Kyohei Horikawa couldn't help but slump on the station seat:

"Hehehe... forget it... destroy it, I'm tired~"

However, at this moment, the feeling of his finger being pinched reminded him. He hadn't forgotten the progress of reading *Jurassic Park* when he was in a hurry to get off the train, using his little finger as a bookmark in the book. Now it was pinched until it was numb...

"Anyway, I've already read most of it... I might as well finish the rest, I definitely won't be able to read it when I get home!"

Thinking this way, Kyohei Horikawa simply got on the return train, took a good seat from the starting station, and lowered his head to read...

The charm of the Tyrannosaurus Rex, who can resist it?!

In Japan, there were countless teenagers as old as Kyohei Horikawa...

The appearance of *Jurassic Park* made these teenagers, who were already curious about new things, fall into the charm of the Tyrannosaurus Rex, and even older high school and university students bought this novel out of curiosity.

As for the adults with more mature psychology, they saw the exploration of scientific ethics and the contemplation of life philosophy in *Jurassic Park*.

It also contained satire on human greed and arrogance, as well as awe of nature... It was precisely these things that made *Jurassic Park* not become a simple children's science fiction book.

More and more people bought *Jurassic Park*, and they also developed a strong curiosity about the author, Naoki Nagayama.

The afternoon sun was scorching and bright, but Shanyingyuan, which had constant temperature, was very comfortable.

The light shining in from outside the window, after passing through a layer of screen window, turned into soft scattered light, actually rippling like a wavy water surface.

The baby in the crib had just finished breastfeeding and was lying on a soft mat, twisting, stretching her hands and feet in all directions, and making unclear sounds with her mouth, as if she wanted to grab the toy hanging on the top of the crib...

Naoki Nagayama and Akina were watching from both sides of the crib, occasionally reaching out to grab the baby's hand to tease her...

"Eh... when will she call me Mama..." Akina sighed on the side, "Besides crying and laughing, she just drinks milk and sleeps..."

"She's only been here for half a month, how could it be so fast~"

Naoki Nagayama laughed,

"It seems like she can only speak around one year old..."

"That's still a long time..."

Akina seemed to have lost some weight... After all, she had to get up several times every night to feed the baby.

However, Shanyingyuan had another nanny, and Mrs. Nonaka was able to take more care of the mother and daughter, so Akina wouldn't be too tired.

"Children grow up very fast~"

"Is this the kind of sigh that only older people have? Why do I feel like Naoki-san, you are like a middle-aged person..."

"......"

My psychological age is already fifty~

Turning to look at his wife's smooth skin... As expected, youth is good. Even after pregnancy and childbirth, she recovered very quickly...

Now that Akina had given birth to the baby, her state was actually very good, and she had become much fuller...

Naoki Nagayama's thoughts unconsciously started to go astray, and his heart began to stir... After all, although his psychological age was very old, his body was only in his twenties...

"Naoki-san, what's wrong with you?"

Akina reached out and waved in front of Naoki Nagayama, making Naoki Nagayama come back to his senses. The pure gaze actually made Naoki Nagayama feel a bit ashamed... She was still in postpartum recovery!

"That..." Naoki Nagayama hurriedly changed the subject, pointing to the baby in the crib and saying to Akina, "Don't look at Hua-chan with her big eyes open now... actually, she can't see anything at all!"

"???"

Akina glanced at little Xia Hua's black and white eyes, reached out and touched her, and saw Xia Hua laughing, so she felt that Naoki Nagayama was lying~

"Nonsense, Hua-chan is laughing when she sees me..."

"The eyes can only see changes in light and dark, perhaps some shadow outlines..." Naoki Nagayama explained, waving his hand over the baby by the way. "She is laughing because she heard your voice and smelled your scent..."

"Can she also smell the scent?"

"Of course..." Naoki Nagayama gently tapped the baby's nose. "Just like Eitaro..."

"......"

Akina, as a mother, rolled her eyes and took Naoki Papa's hand to the side,

"Hua-chan, we won't pay attention to Papa..."

"Ding-a-ling~"

Just as the two were teasing the child together, the phone in the living room rang.

"Moshi Moshi Moshi Moshi, this is Shanyingyuan..."

Naoki Nagayama answered the phone.

"Naoki-san, this is Honma Architectural Design Office~"

The voice of Takashi Honma came from the receiver.

"Ah, Honma-san... sashiburi..." Naoki Nagayama hurriedly greeted, "Are you back from abroad?"

"....... I've been back for a long time... didn't we make an appointment to meet at the architectural design office before?" Takashi Honma said, "... Could it be that Naoki-san has already forgotten?"

"Er......."

"Naoki-san also said that he wanted to give us some opinions before the design... Could it be that this was also forgotten?!"

"......"

Forgotten completely!

Naoki Nagayama finally remembered that when Akina's amniotic fluid broke and she was about to give birth, he was indeed just about to take the trial version of *Jurassic Park* to give to Honma Architectural Design Office for reference.

But as a series of things rushed over, he had indeed forgotten about this!

"Sigh..." Takashi Honma sighed. "Naoki-san, your *Jurassic Park* was released today, and I also bought a copy to read..."

"Ah, this... I originally wanted to send a trial version to Honma-san..."

"It doesn't matter anymore..." Takashi Honma said, "Naoki-san, the measurement of the uninhabited island has been completed, we have drawn the topographic map, and the design is about to begin..."

"I made this call to confirm, it is indeed to be designed to be about the same as *Jurassic Park*, right?"

"Hai, that's correct." Naoki Nagayama gave a clear answer. "I hope that this place can become a real Jurassic theme park in the future...

In addition, *Jurassic Park* the novel will definitely be adapted into a movie in the future, and I also want to film it on this island..."

"I see..." Takashi Honma understood, "Then we will try our best to ensure that it is consistent with the description in the book when designing..."

"Hai, sorry to trouble you, Honma-san~"

"Daijoubu, the customer is God..."

Takashi Honma naturally had to maintain a smiling service for the big customer of his own office,

"The effect schematic should be available by the end of the month, and the overall design drawings are expected to be completed before the end of the year... Naoki-san, do you have any problems with this time?"

"No, absolutely no problem..."

"That's good, we will meet with Naoki-san again before the end of the month to confirm the effect drawing..."

After Takashi Honma finished the business, he continued to chat for a while about several projects designed before...

For example, how is the renovated Shanyingyuan, is there any aging in Sanmeiju, is the courtyard of Hongyuyuan more lush, the garden of the Toyako vacation house...

These residences full of design sense were all the painstaking efforts of the Honma Design Office.

After hanging up the phone, they chatted for almost half an hour. Akina asked curiously:

"Naoki-san, what's wrong with Honma-san's side? Why did you chat for so long?"

"To inform about the design progress of the uninhabited island..." Naoki Nagayama said, "By the way, we chatted about other properties..."

Talking about Hongyuyuan, talking about the vacation house... This also aroused Naoki Nagayama's thoughts...

He came to Akina's side and put his arm around her shoulder:

"Speaking of which... we haven't been on vacation for a long time... Hongyuyuan is so beautiful, and the hot springs at Toyako are also very comfortable... but we haven't really enjoyed them..."

"Yeah... it's been a long time since we went on vacation!"

Speaking of this, Akina also felt a bit emotional...

Before marrying Naoki Nagayama, there was a lot of work and no time for vacation, and it was even harder to go out and travel together.

After marriage, she had to wait for delivery, give birth to a child... and now that the child was born, she had to take care of the child...

How come it feels like all the time has been occupied!

"But if we go on vacation..." Akina looked at the baby in the crib, "What about Hua-chan?"

"......"

Looking at little Xia Hua moving around lively, Naoki Nagayama had no choice. It seemed that after having a child, everything about the adults had to be tied to the child...

"Then wait until Hua-chan grows up a bit, leave Hua-chan at home, and we two go out to play... just us two, don't bring this little guy!"

Naoki Nagayama looked at the little meatball angrily, pretending to be fierce,

"Did you hear that... not bringing you!"

Seeing Naoki Nagayama like this, Akina couldn't help but laugh, gently patting her husband who wouldn't grow up.

And at this moment, the baby in the crib seemed to feel the malice from her biological father. Her little mouth puckered, and she cried out suddenly...

"Wa~~~ wa~~~"

"Eh eh eh? Why did she cry?"

Naoki Nagayama was stunned by the baby's action, hurriedly holding little Xia Hua's hand to soothe her,

"Hua-chan, Hua-chan, I was just joking! I'll bring you, I'll bring you... I'll bring you wherever I go!"

But the little guy in the crib threw away Naoki Papa's hand and cried even louder, making Naoki Nagayama really think for a moment that it was his words that made the little guy cry.

"Hua-chan be good... when you grow up, Papa will take you to see dinosaurs, okay? Tyrannosaurus Rex!"

"....... Wa~~ wa~~"

The harsh crying made Eitaro, who was taking a nap, wake up, and he looked over.

"Haha~" Akina observed for a moment and patted Naoki Nagayama's shoulder, "She wet the bed! Go get a diaper!"

"Oh oh~"

The young couple in Shanyingyuan immediately started the process of changing the baby's diaper in a flurry.

Eitaro, who was lying on the eaves, turned his head to look for a while, then helplessly lay on his front limbs, panting with his mouth open~

Ever since the birth of the Nagayama family's daughter, his status in this family had plummeted. The male owner didn't play with him, and the female owner held the little baby every day...

He, Eitaro, was also a baby once!

Now no one cares about him, only he and Miaotaro are dependent on each other...

Eh? Where did Miaotaro go?

Oh... went to find a little female cat~ ===== CHAPTER 1063 =====
