Chapter 432: Naoki, this guy, only throws troublesome things at people!
It was already early morning, and Naoki Nagayama could only find a convenience store near the hospital and bought some fruit baskets for visiting.
However, when walking to the inpatient building, he stopped his steps hesitantly.
"This... what should I say after going up... it feels so awkward~"
After struggling for a period of time, he still walked up to the inpatient building and walked towards the ward.
However, after entering the ward, Naoki Nagayama found that his arrival didn't attract any attention at all, because Akina's grandfather seemed to have suddenly opened his eyes and regained consciousness.
And at this time, Nakamori Akina and Chieko were both standing by the bed, leaning over to visit.
"Ojisan, how do you feel? Is there anything uncomfortable?"
Akina leaned to the bedside excitedly and talked, but grandfather was so weak that he couldn't speak at all, and could only blink his eyes and look at the two people by the bed.
Chieko was relatively calm. First, she slightly adjusted the brightness of the ward, pressed the button to call the doctor, and then whispered beside the old man:
"Otosan, we are now in the Central Hospital of the city, Mingnan is taking care of mother at home, and will come over when it's dawn. If you need anything, you can signal me."
The old man on the hospital bed calmed down, but didn't need anything else, just looked fixedly at the people by the bed.
Akina held grandfather's hand: "Ojisan, you must get better! Akina still wants to take Ojisan abroad!"
The doctor on duty in the ward arrived soon. After looking at the medical record, he checked the indicators one by one, and then said to Chieko:
"The patient's indicators have no problems for the time being. If he can maintain this state, the possibility of recovery will increase later."
In Chieko's gratitude, the doctor walked out, and only four people were left in the small ward.
Naoki Nagayama put down the fruit basket, watching Nakamori Akina and Chieko talking around the sober old man. After a while, the old man's eyes seemed to see Naoki Nagayama standing outside, and he asked Chieko with his eyes.
"Ah, this is Naoki Nagayama, he is... Akina's good friend!"
Chieko didn't know how to introduce him for a while, so she could only use "good friend" to muddle through first.
Naoki Nagayama walked to the side of the hospital bed, bowed honestly and greeted: "Nice to meet you, I am Naoki Nagayama, please take care of me in the future."
The old man on the bed smiled. Although he couldn't speak, he was clearly very satisfied with Naoki Nagayama.
Naoki Nagayama retreated, watching Akina talking to the old man by the hospital bed, and Chieko also chatted about the trends at home, such as Nakamori Mingnan's recent business being okay, the eldest daughter's child growing up fast, the second son getting married, etc.
After all, he was a patient, and soon, the old man on the hospital bed felt tired and closed his eyes and fell asleep again. The ward fell into silence again, and there was some awkward atmosphere.
Chieko first broke the silence: "Akina, didn't you say that tomorrow, ah, no, today there is a Fukushima concert? Is it postponed?"
"Not postponed, but it's in the afternoon."
"Then shouldn't you go over to prepare in the morning?" Chieko whispered in surprise. "It's already... past one o'clock!"
"Preparation or something, I've already rehearsed!" Akina leaned on Chieko's shoulder. "Later, Naoki-san will send me to Fukushima directly."
Naoki Nagayama nodded at this time, lowering his voice: "Hai, Chieko-san, I will send Akina over at four o'clock, and I will definitely not be late!"
"It's really trouble for Naoki-san~" Chieko thanked him very politely, but her gaze towards Naoki Nagayama became more and more gentle.
Seeing that the mother and daughter started whispering, and their eyes would occasionally glance at Naoki Nagayama, he could only excuse himself to breathe fresh air and escape the ward, leaving the space for the two.
"It's really troublesome~ It might be even more awkward when visiting formally in the future..."
Naoki Nagayama drank a bottle of coffee to refresh himself, while thinking about the situation that might appear in the future, he couldn't help but shrink back.
"However, seeing that Chieko-san is also a very kind person, it should be fine~"
A few hours passed in a flash, and when Nakamori Akina came out,
The bored Naoki Nagayama was sitting in the waiting area, looking at the free newspaper provided by the hospital to kill time.
"Naoki-san!"
"Ah, Akina." Naoki Nagayama closed the newspaper. "What's wrong?"
"It's already three o'clock!" Nakamori Akina sat down next to Naoki Nagayama. "Mom also wants to rest, so I can go to Fukushima first."
"Hmm... don't you need to accompany grandfather more?"
"I've already seen him, grandfather is asleep now, and he should get better slowly."
Nakamori Akina's mood is very peaceful now. Being able to see her sober grandfather, and there is a trend of getting better, is already a comfort.
Naoki Nagayama didn't know how to say it. In his impression, Akina's grandfather should pass away at some point in this national concert tour, it is very likely this time, but he can't be sure.
If he said that grandfather might be a flash in the pan at this time, he would probably be scolded out by Chieko-san.
"Then is Akina going to Fukushima now?"
"Mm! Let's go!" Nakamori Akina nodded, and then was a little twisted. "And... Mom said Naoki-san doesn't need to say goodbye... she wants to rest..."
"Uh..."
This is still a bit unwilling, after all, her daughter is about to be cheated away~
"Anyway, at this time, Akina should notify the agency first~"
Nakamori Akina called her manager on the public phone in the hospital.
Mingxing Fangze naturally got up at this time. It is common for hard-working entertainment agency managers to work 24 hours a day when there is work.
When Akina ran over, Naoki Nagayama asked jokingly: "How is it, were you scolded by Fangze-san?"
Nakamori Akina showed an embarrassed smile on her face: "Although I didn't hear any scolding, I could feel Fangze-san's inner anger..."
"Then what should we do?"
"Only apologize properly in the morning!" Akina had a cunning smile on her face. "Then Fangze-san will definitely forgive us!"
Ah! Playing traditional arts! This operation is okay.
When the two found the taxi parked outside the hospital, the taxi uncle was sleeping soundly.
Naoki Nagayama knocked on the glass: "Uncle, get up to pick up guests!"
"Hmm?" The taxi master woke up immediately, seeing the two outside. "Is the time up?"
"A little early, but it's about the same. Uncle can drive slower~" Naoki Nagayama and Nakamori Akina got into the car. "Let's go to Fukushima!"
The taxi master who slept for more than three hours wiped his face and recovered his spirit:
"Hai, then let's set off."
Watching the sky change from black to gray, then to light gray, and finally to light white, is a very strange experience.
At least if someone asks Naoki Nagayama now, have you seen Tokyo at four in the morning?
He can answer proudly, of course!
Not only four in the morning, but three in the morning, five in the morning in Tokyo, I have seen them all!
Now I am watching Fukushima at six!
Watching the street lights gradually go out on the highway, watching the passing vehicles gradually increase, Naoki Nagayama looked at Nakamori Akina who was sleeping soundly on his shoulder, and smiled slightly.
Just wanted to move his body quietly to make Akina sleep more comfortably, but:
"Yabai! Half of my body is numb!"
But still didn't dare to move.
After a while, the highway exit service area in Fukushima Prefecture had arrived, and Naoki Nagayama woke Akina up.
"Are we already here?" Akina, rubbing her eyes, looked at the shopping mall outside.
"Mm, does Akina want to wash up and then have breakfast?"
The answer was naturally yes. Even for a strong young man like Naoki Nagayama, his spirit was very exhausted after a whole night, but Akina slept for three or four hours intermittently, and her state was slightly better.
"Uncle, do you want to go eat something together?"
"No, I'll go smoke a cigarette~"
The taxi master didn't want to be with two sticky young people. It was already daytime, and being a light bulb was a waste of electricity!
The highway service area in Japan is like a comprehensive shopping mall, with food, specialties, and entertainment areas like gashapon machines, and some even have hot spring services.
However, there is naturally no such thing in Fukushima Prefecture. After buying disposable toiletries, Nakamori Akina and Naoki Nagayama cleaned up, and both felt refreshed.
The two talked about today's itinerary while eating a light breakfast.
"Akina, besides the concert today, are there any other schedules?"
"There is another program in the evening." Akina swallowed the bread. "Does Naoki-san want to come to my concert?"
"Eh? Can't buy tickets now, right?"
"It doesn't matter, I'll smuggle Naoki-san in!" Nakamori Akina's clean small face had expectations. After this night, she relied on Naoki Nagayama very much. "Naoki-san can watch from backstage!"
Is this not covering up anymore? Will be discovered by the agency's staff, right? Combined with the situation tonight, such behavior will not be treated as simple friendship!
"Is this okay? Fangze-san's side..."
"It doesn't matter!" Nakamori Akina's eyes were very firm. "Fangze-san won't say anything!"
Feeling that Akina had let go a lot about "dating Naoki Nagayama" after Chieko knew they were dating, even if the agency knew, it didn't seem to matter.
Looking at Akina's eyes, Naoki Nagayama also smiled relaxedly:
"Then if I am caught by the security staff, Akina must come to save me~"
"Haha, then it will be news~" Akina seemed to have thought of that picture. "Naoki Nagayama broke into the concert without a ticket and was caught on the spot!"
"Then I will say Akina is my accomplice! You didn't have a ticket either!"
"Hahaha~ Then I will pretend not to know Naoki-san!"
Nakamori Akina laughed very brightly~
The summer morning came particularly fast, even if you want to sleep a little longer, the sun and temperature will call you up.
Fangcun Dayou, who came to the studio, was full of red light. The small wine last night could only be used to activate blood and remove stasis for him.
The employees in the studio had come seven or eight out of ten, and naturally Yin Tangxiuyi was indispensable.
"Xiu Yi-san, why don't you sleep a little longer?"
"Of course, because there is a mission goal!" Yin Tangxiuyi said. "If *Crows Zero* wants to be released in September, then not a single day can be delayed!"
"Since the trailer was cut, my whole person is hot-blooded, and I can't sleep a little at night!"
Fangcun Dayou laughed: "Haha, how can that be, you still have to take good care of your body to ensure the quality of the film."
Yin Tangxiuyi waved his hand: "It's okay, besides me, there are Zheng Xiao-kun and Naoki-san!"
Fangcun Dayou nodded, yes, there are two people to remind, there will be no problems... should be...
"By the way, will Naoki-san come today?"
Yin Tangxiuyi was very sure: "That's for sure!
I tell you, Naoki-san attaches great importance to the progress of *Crows Zero*!
When cutting the trailer, he stayed in the editing room with us for three days!
Now the workload of editing is so much, the manpower is so small, and the schedule is so tight,
He will definitely come today!!!"
"That's good... then..."
"Ding-a-ling~"
Just when Fangcun Dayou wanted to say something, the phone in the office rang suddenly.
Yin Tangxiuyi took a look, it must be work-related, so he didn't want to waste time listening more: "Then I'll go to the editing room first, Dayou-san, answer the phone~"
"Good." Watching Yin Tangxiuyi's departing back, Fangcun Dayou picked up the receiver: "Moshi moshi, this is Shu You Film."
"Dayou-san, you're already at work!"
Fangcun Dayou could still distinguish Naoki Nagayama's voice in the receiver.
"Hai, just arrived at the company. But Naoki-san! Why call the office so early? Is there anything urgent?"
"Hai!"
Before Naoki Nagayama finished speaking, Fangcun Dayou heard the sound of cars roaring in the receiver, and some people calling Naoki Nagayama's name.
"Naoki-san, I didn't hear clearly, where are you? The environment is a bit noisy."
"Ah, Dayou-san, I am in a telephone booth by the road in Fukushima Prefecture, a car just sped!" Naoki Nagayama's voice came over again.
Fukushima Prefecture?! Fangcun Dayou felt that he had heard wrong, that is a place more than two hundred kilometers away from Tokyo!
"Naoki-san, why are you in Fukushima?!!!"
"Haha, anyway, something happened, so I am here..."
Naoki Nagayama didn't know how to explain to Fangcun Dayou, so he simply didn't explain. Anyway, he is the president.
"Ano, Dayou-san, trouble telling Xiu Yi-san, I won't come to the company today! The editing is left to him!"
Fangcun Dayou just wanted to ask, but was preempted by Naoki Nagayama.
"Dayou-san, someone is calling me, I am in a hurry to go to the concert... let's stop here~ That is all~"
"Eh? Chotto matte..."
Fangcun Dayou just wanted to interrupt, but heard the busy tone of "du-du" in the receiver.
In the office, this middle-aged man with a receding hairline was a little confused.
"Fukushima? Telephone booth? Concert? Naoki, this guy, what did he do all night?!"
After hanging up the phone, Fangcun Dayou couldn't figure it out.
However, looking at the closed door of the office, he suddenly thought of a more tricky thing!
"How should I tell Xiu Yi-san?!"
"Naoki, this guy, only throws troublesome things at people!" ===== CHAPTER 433 =====
