Chapter 1229
"So, Naoki-san's first love is Yamaguchi Momoe-san?!"
Akina's face had been stained with a faint blush by the red wine, and she didn't know if it was because of the alcohol or the mood.
For more than an hour of truth games, they hadn't finished a bottle of red wine, which showed that the two told too many truths.
Obviously, the two were very sincere, or the previous questions were too superficial and didn't touch on the places that really needed to be hidden.
Akina today had completely let go... She wanted to dig deep into her husband's inner secrets!
"...... No."
Nagayama Naoki shook his head; whether it was his previous life or this life, it wasn't.
But Akina rolled her eyes and started to drink... She felt that Nagayama Naoki was lying; clearly, she had heard from Hezi that Naoki-san definitely hadn't fallen in love before high school, and the only one he was moved by was Yamaguchi Momoe.
"....... Why are you drinking this too... don't you believe it...."
"Hmph~"
This game didn't need to explain anything, it was just an exchange of attitudes between the two sides; Akina drank red wine boldly,
"It's Naoki-san's turn!"
Looking at the clock, there were a few minutes left until midnight, and Nagayama Naoki was also ready to end this game.
"Akina actually likes the feeling of being in the spotlight, that's why she worked so hard as an idol..."
"Not at all, I like singing..."
Listening to Akina's answer, Nagayama Naoki drank red wine silently; the guy who even wanted to stand in the C position when taking photos must like standing in the spotlight and being in the spotlight!
"Naoki-san...... this time 'Departures' let Yamaguchi Momoe come back, is it because you were thinking about having more contact with your idol in your heart?!"
Akina's question was even sharper.
"No, this is a normal commercial consideration, Miura Tomokazu and Yamaguchi Momoe are indeed suitable for the roles."
Hearing Nagayama Naoki's answer, Akina drank a big mouthful again; she clearly didn't believe it...
"Akina.... actually very narcissistic, right?!"
"!!!" Akina suddenly paused, her voice became pinched, "Not at all, Akina-chan is a humble and reasonable girl!"
"Hehe~"
Nagayama Naoki drank a sip of red wine under Akina's gaze, making someone's murderous look even heavier...
Just when Akina was angrily about to continue asking questions, Nagayama Naoki opened his mouth:
"Akina, it's about time... let's stop drinking here~"
"Eh?!!"
Akina didn't want to stop; she still had many questions she wanted to ask!
However, Nagayama Naoki looked at the clock:
"Two more minutes, midnight is coming... A new day, Akina's birthday is coming!"
"Ah.... yes~"
"So, let's go to the courtyard!"
"??"
In Akina's incomprehension, Nagayama Naoki pulled her into the courtyard.
The summer night was not cold, and bright stars twinkled in the pitch-black night sky, as if watching the city below.
Akina, who came to the courtyard, was a bit confused:
"Naoki-san, what are you doing here?"
"Wait a moment..." Nagayama Naoki looked at his watch and started counting down, "30, 29......"
"???"
Although she didn't understand the sudden countdown, Akina chose to respect and touched the head of Eitaro by her leg.
"3, 2, 1, time's up!!!"
After the countdown ended, Nagayama Naoki secretly pressed the remote control in his pocket, turned around, and said to Akina,
"It's July 13th! Akina... Happy Birthday!"
"Haha, Arigato~"
Although she received the birthday blessing for the first time, Akina was very happy, but she still didn't understand why she had to come to the courtyard.
Just as she was about to open her mouth to ask, she saw a flash of fire suddenly rise from the lawn not far away, straight into the sky... and then a blue firework exploded in the pitch-black night sky!
Immediately after, another one... One after another, fireworks kept rising from the courtyard of Sanyingyuan!
The brilliant fireworks twinkled with blue flames in the night sky, like deep blue sapphires.
This is a custom-made blue firework, which is a very rare color.
Following the fireworks rising from Sanyingyuan, after a few breaths, fireworks also rose from the small park next to it, but there were all kinds of colors there~
Colorful fireworks lit up in the sky above her head, and the flames of various colors intertwined, making the whole Sanyingyuan seem to have entered a fairyland.
"Akina, Happy Birthday!"
Nagayama Naoki gently hugged Akina from behind and wished her a happy birthday again in her ear.
And Akina leaned back in Nagayama Naoki's arms, looking up, her bright eyes reflecting the fireworks in the sky, as if a fireworks show was also staged in her eyes!
"Naoki-san, Arigato~"
This brilliant fireworks show lasted for ten minutes; after all, it was inside the city, so it couldn't be too much.
After the fireworks ended, Nagayama Naoki smiled and hung a pearl necklace on Akina's slender neck; the snow-white skin and white pearls made it hard to tell which one was whiter for a while.
"This is the birthday gift for the night! There is another gift tomorrow morning..."
Nagayama Naoki said with a smile,
"But the birthday cake can't be a late-night snack! You can eat it tomorrow!"
"Haha, okay~"
Akina turned her body, hugged Nagayama Naoki's neck, and sent a sweet kiss~
For a long time, their lips separated, and their breathing was a bit rapid.
However, Akina still thought of other things:
"Naoki-san, are there staff members who need to clean up these fireworks? And the ones in the park..."
"They will clean them up uniformly tomorrow..."
Nagayama Naoki believed that Yamakawa Shigekong and the others wouldn't disturb themselves at this time; after saying this, he used force to pick up Akina in a princess carry...
"Now is not the time to consider these things!"
"But there are still the butler and Mari-san and the others..."
The fireworks just now naturally also alarmed the butler and the live-in nanny on the other side.
"They are all understanding people..."
In a short time, Nagayama Naoki had already brought people back to the bedroom on the second floor and closed the door... Little Xia Hua was already sleeping in a separate room and wouldn't be disturbed.
And Eitaro at the door was once again helplessly lying on the carpet at the door...
Sigh... the master always plays games without me...
A night without words~
Perhaps because she was too tired the day before, Akina slept in late the next day.
After she got up lazily, she found that Nagayama Naoki was no longer by her side, and even little Xia Hua was not in the nursery next door.
After washing and going downstairs, she saw little Xia Hua playing with Eitaro on the carpet in the living room, and Mrs. Nonaka Mari was looking after her.
"Akina-chan, you're up~"
Nonaka Mari looked at Akina's rosy cheeks and showed a knowing smile,
"Happy Birthday!"
"Arigato!"
Akina thanked with a smile, walked up to hug little Xia Hua and kissed her, then asked again,
"Mari-san, why didn't I see Naoki-san?"
Today was to stay at home to celebrate her birthday together, Akina didn't think Nagayama Naoki had anything to do and left.
"Ah... Naoki-san went to get the birthday cake a while ago, saying he would be back for lunch at noon..."
Nonaka Mari said,
"However, he left a gift for you, it's on the table."
Hearing this, Akina looked up and sure enough, she found another gift from Nagayama Naoki on the dining table; it was a letter wrapped with roses!
On the cover, it also wrote "Happy Birthday, Akina, please open"~
"It looks like another surprise prepared by Naoki-san!"
A smile appeared on Akina's face; she knew her husband had been preparing in the study for several days!
After unpacking the roses and opening the seal, on the exquisite letter paper, only two lines of handwritten handwriting were in sight...
It was actually a haiku love poem~
"
Konoyo ni anata ga tsuide yokatta yo (I'm glad you are in this world)
Aiete yokatta (I'm glad I could meet you)
"
Haiku is a traditional art in Japan, from Oda Nobunaga down to down-and-out civilians, everyone can say two sentences... But a brilliant haiku is very difficult~
And these two haiku sentences by Nagayama Naoki were undoubtedly carefully polished and poured with heart...
Gently reading these short words, Akina's eyes were slightly sour... Sure enough, writers are too good at flirting!!
"What did Naoki-san write?"
Seeing Akina's dazed look, Nonaka Mari walked over with little Xia Hua, and then naturally saw the haiku.
"Ah... is it actually a haiku?!"
"So moving... it was written specifically for Akina!"
"Hmm~"
Akina movedly pressed the letter paper to her heart, only feeling a warm current surging in her heart.
If Nagayama Naoki himself were here, she would definitely have to throw herself into his arms and hug him tightly!!
And Nagayama Naoki on the other side was just walking out of a famous cake shop in Minato Ward, holding a small cake box in his hand.
A cake for two or three people naturally doesn't need to be too big, so it needs to be pursued in quality.
And Minato Ward is the most prosperous area for Western pastries; many authentic pastry shops passed down from Europe are here, and the cake ordered uses the freshest cream, and the baking process and molding are also first-class...
Nagayama Naoki carefully placed the cake in the passenger seat of the Rolls-Royce, trying to ensure balance, and it was also very stable when driving later.
It's not that he couldn't ask someone to send it directly, but things like celebrating a birthday seem more thoughtful if you get it yourself~
When he returned to Sanyingyuan, it was already close to noon.
"I'm back~"
Nagayama Naoki walked into the entrance with the cake; the first one to run over was Eitaro, who became even more excited after smelling the fragrance of the cake, even having the urge to rush up...
"Eh eh eh... Eitaro, if you break this cake today, then if Akina gets angry, I can't save you!"
Stretching his leg to separate the dog, Nagayama Naoki held the cake box and placed it on the dining table, looking at the living room,
"Akina?"
"Naoki-san... you're back!"
Akina, wearing summer clothes, walked over happily, threw herself into Nagayama Naoki's arms like a little bird,
"I received the gift! Arigato!"
"As long as you like it~"
Nagayama Naoki patted Akina's back and breathed a sigh of relief... It looks like this hurdle has passed, and it looks like the tragic novel he wrote won't be seen by Akina.
"Alright, the cake has been brought back... Let's celebrate the birthday!
No need to make lunch at noon today, just have cake!"
"Good~"
Akina also happily started to set it up.
22 candles were inserted on the cake on the table, and after lighting them, they burned into a piece; Nagayama Naoki and the two nannies and the butler served as the background board, singing "Happy Birthday to You," while Akina sat in front of the cake, crossed her hands, and closed her eyes.
Little Xia Hua was seeing a cake for the first time, but she had long smelled the fragrance of the cake, her mouth slightly open, anxiously calling her mother and father's names, and her little hands also wanted to reach for the cake...
"Hua-chan, wait a moment..."
Nagayama Naoki held the little guy in his arms,
"This is mom's cake, you have to wait until mom makes a wish before you can eat..."
At this time, Akina had already made a wish, opened her eyes, blew out the candles in one breath, and then happily pulled them out and picked up the cake knife...
"Alright, alright... Naoki-san, let's cut the cake!!!"
"Good... Hua-chan can't wait anymore!"
The small cake was divided into several pieces; the biggest one was given to Nagayama Naoki, and then she divided a portion for herself, Xia Hua, the two nannies, and the butler...
However, after the nannies and the butler got the cake, they quickly left the West Building, leaving the space for the small family.
"Come... Hua-chan, you can only eat a little, taste it..."
Akina fed a little cream into little Xia Hua's mouth, making the little guy's pupils enlarge at once... She had eaten sweet things before, but this time the sweetness was a bit intoxicating!
"Sweet~~"
A surprised smile appeared on little Xia Hua's face, expressing her happiness to her parents with the few words she knew.
"You can only eat a little cream... but you can eat one strawberry!"
Akina gave the strawberry on top of the cake to little Xia Hua, slightly stained with some cream, sweet and fragrant~
Then she shared it with Nagayama Naoki!
"Hmm~~~ so delicious!!"
Akina, eating the cake, squinted her eyes like a satisfied kitten... Nagayama Naoki also started to enjoy it and chatted.
"Akina, did the agency arrange any birthday party or something?"
"There is no special arrangement... but I guess there will be cake when working... let the staff sing birthday songs or something... very boring~"
Akina said according to previous practice; when the schedule was very full before, most of them would have the program team organize a celebration party.
Actually, in the entertainment industry, an artist's birthday is just an excuse, enhancing the effect of the program and increasing the ratings, which can be used continuously from a few days before the birthday to a few days or even a week after.
Giving you an early (late) birthday has become an early (late) birthday for artists~
Even a birthday has to be filmed with a camera, which is no different from recording a program, so Akina is not rare for this kind of formulaic birthday party, and hopes more to spend her birthday with her family like now...
"I see..." Nagayama Naoki nodded, "Then don't have a party... does it feel a bit simple?"
"Daijoubu..."
Akina wiped the big flowery face covered with cream for little Xia Hua,
"I'm very happy to have you by my side!"
Just when the young couple was about to continue enjoying the delicious food, the phone at Sanyingyuan rang.
"Moshi moshi..."
Nagayama Naoki walked over to answer it, and then quickly handed the phone to Akina,
"Akina, it's Chieko-san, looking for you..."
"Hai..." Akina hurriedly walked over and took the receiver, "Okasan..."
Nagayama Naoki returned to the dining table to take care of little Xia Hua; he couldn't hear it very clearly, but it should be something like "Happy Birthday to You."
The smile on Akina's face was even brighter!
So from the afternoon, many people called one after another to bless Akina.
There were several older brothers and sisters, good friends in the circle Koizumi Kyoko, Okada Yukiko, as well as acquaintances at Yan Yin, friends she knew in the entertainment industry...
In short, everyone who knew Akina's home phone called to express their blessings...
All day today, Akina was in a very good mood~
