Chapter 240: Even time travel can't change being urged to marry

~11 min read 2,020 words

Reading fans' letters is different from reading Weibo comments.

On Weibo, as long as you feel it's not to your liking, you can casually post a comment or blog, and you can also tag everyone you want to notify, and it can be seen by everyone who cares.

But if you write a letter, first you have to buy stationery, envelopes, and stamps, then spend energy writing at least hundreds or thousands of words, and finally mail it out, so that it can only be seen by the recipient.

In comparison, the cost is too high. And one important point is that since the novel has been finished, there is no such thing as urging for updates in all fan letters. All letters basically contain the fans' intentions, which moved Naoki Nagayama, who was a first-time author, very much.

Prepared paper and pens in the house in Bunkyo, selected a few letters to reply to, and then casually put the reply letters into the mailbox on the way back. An afternoon passed in a hurry.

When arriving at Shanyingyuan, the sky had completely darkened.

The landscape lights in the yard were temporarily turned off, otherwise the bare cherry tree would look claw-waving and very weird under the light. Occasionally, when meeting the aunties who lived in this area while walking, they also euphemistically put forward opinions:

"At night, the atmosphere of this house is too scary, scaring my little grandson/granddaughter/granddaughter/grandson..."

So Naoki Nagayama had to turn it off temporarily~

Wang Wang Wang heard the sound of the car entering the door and ran over happily.

It was the time of rapid growth. Added with appropriate exercise, Wang Wang Wang had initially grown into the appearance of a big dog, weighing 25 kilograms, his height had reached above Naoki Nagayama's calf, and the fat accumulated at home before had been converted into solid muscles.

"Wang Wang Wang~ Don't lick randomly!" Blocking the enthusiastic dog, Naoki Nagayama finally walked into the house.

Eating relatively late in the afternoon, Naoki Nagayama, who was not too hungry, didn't go to the restaurant for dinner, but used the stock in the refrigerator to make a tomato stewed beef brisket and garlic greens, plus refreshing fruit salad, and prepared dinner carefully.

Generally speaking, as long as there were no guests or too many dishes, Naoki Nagayama didn't like to eat dinner at the dining table. Bringing the dishes to the coffee table in the living room and then watching TV while eating, this was the thing that felt relaxed and happy.

Sharing the deliciousness of stewed beef brisket with Wang Wang Wang, and then drinking red wine for the meal, Naoki Nagayama ate beautifully.

His eyes were still focused on the program on TV, using one mind for two or three things.

The variety show in the golden time is actually very exciting, especially this time watching a variety show where many young idols play games in the swimming pool.

Mainly there were more young female artists. This kind of program mainly relied on game interaction and interspersed talent performances to attract attention. It hadn't reached the level of pranks or specifically teasing female artists in Japanese programs later.

Although many idols didn't know each other, it was also a good experience to occasionally pop out one or two familiar idols.

In a blink of an eye, Naoki Nagayama's beef brisket was finished. Just waiting for the red wine in the cup to be finished, he went to clean up, while Wang Wang Wang on the side looked like he hadn't had enough.

"Wang Wang Wang, today's dinner is finished, only one molar stick is left!"

"Wang Wang Wang~" (I know)

"Since you know, then wait a while and I'll give it to you."

Just as the variety show ended, Naoki Nagayama drank the wine in the cup, collected the cups and plates and sent them to the kitchen to clean.

Cooking at home has a bad point. Every time after eating, you always have to clean it yourself. After wiping the stove clean, Naoki Nagayama had time to get the molar stick for Wang Wang Wang.

On the TV in the living room, the host read the lines quickly: "*Girl A* 6189 points, Nakamori Akina! Welcome to this program!"

Eh? Nakamori Akina?

Naoki Nagayama walked a few steps quickly and came to the living room. Sure enough, the TV was playing the *THE BEST TEN* music program, and the guest appearing this week was Nakamori Akina, who became popular because of *Girl A*.

Akina was wearing a wine-red dress, the golden belt on her waist outlined a slender curve, her hair was simply tied into a single ponytail, revealing a swan-like neck, her fair cheeks carried a bright smile, her eyes were bright and her teeth were white, and the whole person looked youthful and beautiful.

After a simple greeting, host Kuroyanagi Tetsuko knew that it was her first time coming to this famous Showa music program, so she asked:

"What is the feeling of coming to the program for the first time?"

"Ah, it's like a dream?"

"Is that so? Then what is the feeling of walking over from the door just now?"

"A bit nervous, suddenly want to go to the toilet..." The childlike answer made the entire program scene full of laughter.

Hearing this, Naoki Nagayama in the living room also laughed. "Is this something that can be said on the program?"

Handed the molar stick in his hand to Wang Wang Wang, watching him bite it impatiently: "Wang Wang Wang, did you see the girl on TV? She has been to Shanyingyuan."

The speed of the *THE BEST TEN* program was very fast. Nakamori Akina, who appeared on the stage for the first time, had a good sense of variety. The atmosphere of the program was very good. The subsequent *Girl A* performance effect was also very good, matching the corresponding movements for the right hand that had nowhere to place, and the stage style was also teased by the host~

"Akina-chan's debut progress is very good."

Entering the second half of September, the daytime was still hot, but the temperature at night already needed a quilt.

Naoki Nagayama, who had just returned to Tokyo from his hometown, once again embarked on a journey back to Shizuoka. This time it was for his parents to buy a house.

Before, he had already selected the property with Fujita Keiko. Returning this time was naturally to handle the mortgage loan business and sign the contract.

*Above the High Sky*

Miss Fujita Keiko would arrive later with the prepared contract and related tea garden materials.

Father Naoki Ken, who had run an izakaya for a lifetime, and eldest brother Naoki Aoki had no experience in bank loans, let alone housewife mother and Nagayama Hezi. So Naoki Nagayama still needed to help stare at it.

Along the familiar coastal road, Naoki Nagayama didn't have the mood to enjoy the sea view this time, and it took less than 2 hours to reach his old home in Shizuoka.

Because he had called yesterday, Father and eldest brother rarely took a day off, and the whole family except Nagayama Hezi stayed at home.

"I'm back~" Parked the car, pushed open the door,

Wang Wang Wang next to him rushed in directly. He had a fresh memory of this second home, especially because there was a hostess who often fed him delicious food. The current master was too stingy, and he couldn't eat enough every day...

"Ara, Wang Wang Wang is back~"

The surprised voice of mother Bai Mifan came from the room. After Naoki Nagayama walked in, he really found Wang Wang Wang lying at his mother's feet acting like a spoiled child, and made a 'ying ying ying' sound that he hadn't seen for a long time...

This scheming dog!

"Okasan, I'm back!" Naoki Nagayama emphasized, and then greeted his father who was reading the newspaper in the living room, "Otosan~"

"Hmm, Naoki returned very early this time."

"Hai, nothing delayed, and there were very few people on the road."

"That's good..."

The father and son who didn't chat much at ordinary times were silent like this, until the eldest brother came down from upstairs.

"Naoki, back~"

"Hai~" Looking at Naoki Aoki who was a bit unaccustomed, Naoki Nagayama laughed. "What's wrong, eldest brother hasn't had a holiday for a long time, right?"

"Hahaha, yes. Suddenly didn't go to the izakaya in the morning, and it wasn't a festival or anything, always feeling empty in the heart."

As expected, he was a hardworking worker~

"It's only been one day. After the loan is handled, you can take the opportunity to go on a date in the afternoon~"

Naoki Aoki suddenly became stuttering: "W-w-w... what date, what date..."

"Eh? Didn't you say you were dating a girlfriend?"

"Who said that!"

"Nagayama Hezi~" He decisively betrayed his little sister. It looked like it was still in the initial stage.

Mother Bai Mifan poured tea for the two, and also said on the side: "Also, Aoki, hurry up and determine the relationship. If it's suitable, you can get married next year!"

"Hahaha~ Eldest brother hasn't determined it yet? Then you have to work hard~"

Mother didn't like the way the eldest son was humming, and she didn't like the way the second son was teasing:

"Naoki don't laugh either, you are not small anymore, you should also consider marriage. Do you have a girlfriend?"

Eh? Why was he suddenly urged to marry?

Could it be that even time travel couldn't escape the clutches of being urged to marry?

"Temporarily not yet..." However, Naoki Nagayama in this life didn't panic. "Okasan, I am only 20 years old. And in Tokyo, marriage should be at least after three or five years of dating, can't be rushed~"

With the development of the bubble, the marriage age of big city girls would be even later.

"It's not that you have to get married now, but you can date now!"

Mother began the nagging journey. Naoki Aoki and Naoki Nagayama could only listen silently.

Until half an hour later, Father Naoki Ken couldn't listen anymore: "That, Aoki, Naoki, let's go handle the loan in the morning."

"Hai!" X2, the two brothers ran out of the house impatiently, and the Naoki couple followed behind.

The bank in the small town was a small branch of Mitsui Bank. In fact, it was not far from home, walking for ten or twenty minutes.

It had been consulted before. This kind of mortgage loan was not very difficult. After bringing the property rights certificate and other materials, the four people of the Naoki family walked into the bank, and then the customer manager who had made an appointment before received them immediately.

"This izakaya has a history of more than 20 years." The bank employee named Hirakawa Toshikatsu looked at the data and sighed. "Boss Naoki, I even went to eat before~"

"Actually an old customer?" The atmosphere suddenly relaxed. "Then it's really fate."

"There is no problem with the izakaya data. Naoki-san, the total mortgage loan amount is 6.8 million yen. After signing the contract, it will be hit into the account within seven days."

"Seven days?" Naoki Ken looked at Naoki. "Naoki, will it be too late?"

"Daijobu, the payment after signing the house contract still needs a certain amount of time." Naoki Nagayama said definitely. Even if it was too late, he could temporarily cushion it, the problem was not big.

"Just hit it into my account at that time."

Hirakawa Toshikatsu quickly made the contract. Naoki Ken took out the seal and stamped his own, and then mother Bai Mifan also signed and stamped. After a few simple times, this izakaya that the two had operated since marriage was mortgaged out.

"Still a bit reluctant~" Mother Bai Mifan sighed, and Father patted her shoulder, "Just listen to Naoki, no problem."

"Yes, in a few years you will be grateful for the decision now!"

Naoki Nagayama was full of confidence!
