Chapter 1242: Gradually arriving on the island!!

The clock reached 9:00 AM, and the sun in Tokyo was already very intense.

It was already the holidays; Tsuruko's best friend, Ishii Chunshui, had already returned to her hometown for the holidays, leaving only Tsuruko in the apartment. If it weren't for a boyfriend in Tokyo and a business to manage, Tsuruko would definitely have returned to Shizuoka.

In the small apartment near Waseda, Tsuruko's suitcase was already packed and sitting by the entrance.

Just at this moment, the apartment doorbell rang. Tsuruko opened the door happily and saw the figure of her boyfriend, Jin Tian Dalu.

"Finally here, so slow!"

"Morning rush hour, you know, taxis are very jammed."

Jin Tian Dalu, carrying a travel bag, explained slightly, and then saw the suitcase at the entrance.

"Already packed, are we leaving now?!"

"Wait a little longer... Nii-san's driver will come to pick us up."

Tsuruko let her boyfriend come in to rest for a while, waiting for the arrival of the dedicated driver, Toda Zhian.

Jin Tian Dalu sat cross-legged on the tatami, fanning himself with a magazine while pouring a glass of water to drink:

"Are we going to the island in the Seto Inland Sea?"

"Hai~~" Tsuruko said while choosing sunglasses to wear, "I heard it's going to be built into the kind of park in *Jurassic Park*... so he specifically bought the island."

Before he could sigh at Nagayama Naoki's extravagance, Jin Tian Dalu thought of another aspect:

"Is Naoki-san going to film *Jurassic Park* on that island?"

"Probably, yes..."

"That's a huge investment!"

"Nii-san is always willing to spend money on making movies... but this island will definitely be open to the public in the future; this time it's also to celebrate Hua-chan's birthday there..."

Tsuruko and Jin Tian Dalu going together this time was nominally to attend the birthday party, but Tsuruko went a bit earlier just to have more of a vacation.

Speaking of this, Jin Tian Dalu asked with some worry:

"Tsuruko, celebrating Hua-chan's birthday, is it appropriate for me to go this time?"

Hearing this, Tsuruko turned her head to look at her boyfriend:

"What's inappropriate about it... Dalu, you have already withstood Nii-san's test long ago, and you have even met his parents! What are you afraid of?!"

"......."

Jin Tian Dalu couldn't help but recall the scene of seeing Tsuruko's brother, Nagayama Naoki, and cousin, Nagayama Feng, for the first time... That was truly enough to scare the psychological shadow out of someone!

The junior he wanted to pursue was the daughter of a yakuza family...

This kind of plot would be very dramatic in manga and novels, but in reality, it truly made ordinary people shrink back!

Even on TV, there were many prank shows, similar to human observation, that would plan plots where one's girlfriend's father was a yakuza boss... The other half would always be trembling!

"*Cough, cough, cough*..." Jin Tian Dalu's face turned red, "What do I have to be afraid of!"

"*Heh*... that time my father came, you were as panicked as anything!"

"I... I was being respectful! Reverent! Because they are Tsuruko's parents!"

"*Hmph~*"

Tsuruko turned her head away, but she was very happy inside~

"Going early this time is mainly because I want to go to a resort hotel with fewer people in the summer... I heard that it was built very beautifully by Nii-san, and even the beach is pure white!"

Actually, with Tsuruko's current net worth, going to Hawaii or similar places abroad for vacation was also possible, but her foreign language wasn't very good, her boyfriend was interning, and she had already played in the main domestic attractions, so she was very curious about her brother's island this time.

Moreover, there was a private car to pick them up, a private jet to send them off... Where else could you get such good treatment!

During their chat, the driver, Toda Zhian, had already arrived. He followed Nagayama Naoki's instructions; he had already picked up others today, and now he came to pick up Tsuruko, and would pick up others later.

After traveling for more than an hour on the crowded road, they finally arrived at Narita International Airport, and then walked through a special passage directly to the hangar.

In the huge hangar, a white Gulfstream plane was parked quietly in the center...

"Wow~~ so big! Is this Nii-san's plane!"

Tsuruko let out a sigh, and Jin Tian Dalu's eyes lit up beside her.

"So beautiful!"

Men, when they are young, like toy cars and toy planes; when they grow up, this hobby doesn't change.

Jin Tian Dalu had seen many luxury cars and boasted that he could buy one in the future, but a private jet... it was unlikely for him to rely on his medical profession in this lifetime.

Led by the ground crew, they walked into the cabin. The retro and luxurious interior surprised them again. The spacious space also made people who had taken planes marvel. There were also entertainment areas, small bars, etc. This was no longer a means of transportation, but a luxurious travel rest stop.

And at this moment, on the side of the cabin seats, Tsuruko saw someone very familiar.

"Miho!!" Tsuruko called out in surprise, and then when she saw the person beside her, she greeted very politely, "Chieko-san... *Sashiburi*..."

Tsuruko and Nakamori Miho were pen pals before, and after they had a relative relationship, it didn't fade away.

And the other one was Nii-san's mother-in-law; Tsuruko naturally knew her too.

"It's Tsuruko! You are also going to the birthday party, right?"

Chieko was much thinner than before, but she looked very spirited. She looked at Jin Tian Dalu beside her,

"Who is this?"

"This is my boyfriend, Jin Tian Dalu!" Tsuruko introduced generously, "We are dating with the premise of marriage!"

Then she introduced Nakamori Chieko and Nakamori Miho to Jin Tian Dalu.

"Chieko-san, Miho-chan... nice to meet you, I am Jin Tian Dalu..."

Jin Tian Dalu was naturally very polite at this time.

"Ah, he is a very good young man!"

Nakamori Chieko laughed. At her age, what she liked to see most was the next generation having a good marriage.

"What do you do?"

"Currently an intern doctor at a hospital..."

"Ah... a doctor, not bad, not bad..."

For some reason, Jin Tian Dalu felt as if he had returned to the day he was scrutinized by Tsuruko's parents...

And Tsuruko beside him had already abandoned her boyfriend and started talking to Miho.

"Akina and brother-in-law invited mother and brothers and sisters to go to the Seto Inland Sea to attend the birthday party, but brothers and sisters either have to take care of the family or can't leave work, so in the end, only I accompanied mother..."

Miho explained the reason to Tsuruko. Because her parents had already separated and her father had a bad relationship with the family, she now tried not to mention her father, Nakamori Akio, in front of her mother.

Just like this time, although Akina also said that if her father had time, he could come, everyone knew it was just polite words, and Nakamori Akio didn't want to join in either.

"Eh? Then what about Miho's flower shop?"

Tsuruko asked.

"I asked the salesperson to look after the flower shop for a few days..."

Nakamori Miho's flower shop business was very good now, and she had already hired employees to help.

Although it wasn't as violent as the milk tea shop, it was a long-term business... Both unmarried young women could be considered to have industries.

"Then we can play together for a few more days this time!"

Tsuruko said happily, but Miho looked at Jin Tian Dalu, who was chatting with Nakamori Chieko, and laughed:

"Oh? Then what about yours?"

"...... I don't care about him!"

Tsuruko didn't feel awkward at all, directly abandoned her boyfriend, and then started gossiping,

"Does Miho have a boyfriend now?"

"......"

Just at this moment, the captain walked out. This was a new captain, and he said to all the passengers:

"Minasan, today's passengers have all arrived, and the luggage has been placed; we are ready to take off!"

"Hai..."

On the seventh day that Nagayama Naoki was not in Tokyo, major media in the entertainment industry all knew one thing... The editor-in-chief of *Tokyo Sports* had resigned from his job as editor-in-chief for personal reasons!

Then those with well-informed sources shared their "exclusive news."

"He offended Shu-Yu!" "Because of the report on Yamaguchi Momoe!" "They can't get internal news about artists under Shu-Yu for a month!" "I heard Imamura Junichi was severely scolded! That's why he had to resign to apologize!" "And the reporter who wrote that report was also fired!" "..."

Amidst everyone's discussion, the specific situation of this disturbance was gradually analyzed.

The summary was that *Tokyo Sports* violated the agreement previously reached with Shu-Yu, so it had to apologize to Shu-Yu by having the editor-in-chief resign and firing the involved employees.

At the same time, many media practitioners were also indignant.

"Why surrender to Shu-Yu!" "We enjoy the right to freedom of the press!" "If it's like this, how can we reporters carry out our work in the future!" "How can the public know the truth!" "..."

Not to mention other complaints, some people in the media circle made suggestions when drinking with colleagues:

"Our media circle should unite; Shu-Yu actually punishes media newspapers with the news and exposure of its artists, so we should collectively boycott Shu-Yu!

Let all their artists have no traffic and no exposure, and see who can't hold on in the end!!"

"Haven't various media done this before!"

The colleagues drinking with him all laughed:

"Are you drunk? Why should other media do this? Offend Shu-Yu for no reason? Lose the heat of popular idol stars?! Lose a large sum of money?"

"Isn't this..." the person was speechless for a moment, "Isn't this about the lips and teeth being cold!!"

"Today Shu-Yu dares to threaten *Tokyo Sports*; what if they threaten our other newspapers tomorrow?!"

The others all laughed:

"Lips and teeth cold? Who is lips and teeth with *Tokyo Sports*? We are competitors!"

"..."

The media circle was never able to be of one mind; after all, everyone usually competed for traffic and exposure, and reporters from different newspapers could even fight...

In the past, boycotting a certain artist or group together wasn't spontaneously carried out by the media, but rather a consensus reached by larger interest groups and the top management of media groups.

"This time it was *Tokyo Sports* that violated the agreement first...

Shu-Yu doing this is not wrong! They are only targeting *Tokyo Sports* alone!

They didn't target all media... why should we unite to oppose Shu-Yu?!"

Amidst such discussions, the idea of wanting to unite the media circle to resist Shu-Yu's tyranny was extinguished all at once~

Gradually, news about the relationship change between Miura Tomokazu and Yamaguchi Momoe on media newspapers slowly disappeared.

When the plane arrived at Jurassic Island, it wasn't even noon yet.

As soon as the group got off the plane, they didn't even look at the small airport a few times before they were picked up by the employees who came to pick them up and drove all the way to the resort hotel without stopping.

"So big..."

Tsuruko looked at the scenery on the road, the continuous forests, the rising green mountains in the distance, and the faintly visible port town. It was hard to imagine that such an entire island actually belonged to the Nagayama family!

"Ah, that's a dinosaur sculpture, right! And there are tracks! Maybe they will build a roller coaster for an amusement park? And many barbed wires? What are they used for? "..."

The two little girls chirped about every place they saw, but soon, the car arrived at the bay of the resort hotel.

And Nagayama Naoki, wearing a floral shirt, and Akina, holding little Ye Zi and wearing a sun hat, were waiting at the door for everyone's arrival!

"Chieko-san, Tsuruko, Miho... and, Jin Tian..."

Nagayama Naoki greeted everyone first. At the end of the greeting, Nagayama Naoki seemed to have just remembered Jin Tian Dalu's name.

"Was the journey smooth?"

"Very smooth!" Jin Tian Dalu replied respectfully, "Thanks to Naoki-san's plane."

"Hahaha, that's good... next, go into the hotel and have a good rest!"

However, on the other side, Nakamori Chieko had already picked up little Ye Zi, and Akina was pulling Tsuruko and Miho toward the inside of the hotel.

It was only a journey of more than an hour; the young people naturally didn't feel tired. After Tsuruko and Miho teased little Ye Zi for a while, they went to play in the bay of the resort hotel under Akina's lead.

And Nagayama Naoki was accompanying Nakamori Chieko to talk, and watching little Ye Zi by the way...

"When will Naoki-san's parents come over? And other relatives and friends?"

"They will be a little later; my father can never let go of the izakaya that is his life's work."

Nagayama Naoki sighed. Clearly, just relying on the appreciation of the land in his hometown could earn a lot of money now, and he, his eldest brother, and Tsuruko could all earn money, and they would give their parents some household expenses; they didn't need to work long ago~

"It's like this; when people get old, they all need some sustenance."

Nakamori Chieko understood very well,

"If I hadn't been sick, I would have thought about continuing to work..."

"Chieko-san, how has your body recovered?"

"It has fully recovered, but after all, I had surgery, and my vitality was hurt." Nakamori Chieko sighed, "After all, I am old, and my body's recovery ability is poor."

"When you get older, you have to take good care of yourself..."

Nagayama Naoki looked at little Ye Zi twisting in Chieko's arms and said,

"Chieko-san still has to be healthy and watch Hua-chan grow up!"

"Hahaha, yeah..." Nakamori Chieko tapped little Ye Zi's nose, "I still have to watch Hua-chan grow up and get married!"

"Mar... riage..."

Little Ye Zi learned a new word ignorantly, making Nagayama Naoki and Chieko, who were talking, laugh.

The atmosphere in the lobby was very harmonious...

And as one of the only two male guests, Jin Tian Dalu wasn't convenient to follow the few girls to play, and couldn't insert himself into the conversation between the mother-in-law and son-in-law. At this time, he could only be idle in the small garden... ah no, there was also a dog!

"Eitaro, Eitaro..."

Jin Tian Dalu greeted the big white dog,

"Do you still remember me?"

Eitaro looked at this unfamiliar person, his tail wagging slightly; he seemed to have a little impression.

"Didn't we meet at Hua-chan's full-month banquet?"

The dog's tail wagged with a larger amplitude~

"You also came to the island... are you also very bored? Do you want to play a game?"

Jin Tian Dalu really had nothing to do, so he could only play with the dog... He picked up a branch from the small woods beside him at random,

"Come, I have a branch here; I'll throw it away, and then Eitaro will go pick it up!"

"..."

Eitaro looked at Jin Tian Dalu making a gesture to throw a branch, his head full of confusion.

What is this human doing with a piece of trash...

Until Jin Tian Dalu demonstrated picking it up twice himself, Eitaro reacted; it turned out he wanted to play the ball-throwing game!

But taking a branch was too shameful; he, Eitaro, didn't play with such branches... Thinking of this, Eitaro quickly ran to the place where he hid things and brought a tennis ball in his mouth.

"Ah, so Eitaro has toys!"

Jin Tian Dalu was still surprised why the dog didn't go pick up the branch, but after seeing Eitaro bring a tennis ball, he was relieved.

"Okay, then let's use this tennis ball to play!"

Saying this, he was about to take the tennis ball from the dog's mouth.

However, what Jin Tian Dalu didn't expect was that just when he was about to reach out to take the tennis ball, Eitaro shook his head and threw the tennis ball not far away...

And then he sat in front of him looking at him with eager eyes, and even nodded his head...

"....... Uh......"

Jin Tian Dalu's hand froze in mid-air; for a moment, he didn't know if he was surprised or speechless.

Is this dog... wanting me to go pick up the ball?!

It must have become a spirit, right?! ===== CHAPTER 1243 =====
