Chapter 702: Something must be abnormal!

~15 min read 2,845 words

People who are often photographed are very sensitive to the camera.

Naoki Nagayama immediately left Yukiko Okada's side when he noticed a camera filming him.

In the corridor on the periphery of the gymnasium, most of them were behind-the-scenes staff from various TV stations or talent agencies. At this time, some were preparing for their own programs, and those who were not working had rare leisure time, chatting with peers in the corridor.

Seeing Naoki Nagayama coming, most of them would nod or greet him respectfully, and then make way.

Naoki Nagayama had unknowingly gained quite a bit of fame in the entertainment industry, but he neither belonged to the artists in front nor the staff behind the scenes, and he actually felt that he couldn't integrate into either side.

Perhaps he should be sitting with the big-name guests of the organizer, which would be more in line with his current status. That side would definitely welcome him very enthusiastically, and maybe even arrange an award-giving position for him.

"I don't want to chat with that group of old people~"

Naoki Nagayama threw this thought out of his head and walked toward a quiet place in the gymnasium on his own.

Three o'clock in the afternoon was the best time for light. The bright sunlight illuminated the sports center covered with white tiles. The faded handrails, old floors, and walls that were no longer white were all telling Naoki Nagayama that this was a gymnasium that was frequently used.

In the university campus gymnasium, in addition to the main stadium, there were many indoor venues.

When Naoki Nagayama walked to another indoor venue, through the open door, he happened to see a few young people secretly playing street basketball on the indoor basketball court.

"Don't they know? Or do they not care at all?"

Naoki Nagayama looked at them curiously at the door. This gymnasium should have been rented out entirely today, so these college students should have sneaked in.

The enclosed indoor basketball court only opened a few ventilation windows, which felt very stuffy, but this group of young college students didn't seem to care about the temperature at all~

Five people were divided into two teams, one person rotated, one person attacked and one person defended, playing inside, sweating profusely, and freely splashing the sweat of youth...... The TV station recording close at hand didn't seem to attract them at all.

However, Naoki Nagayama standing at the door attracted the attention of several people. Slowly, they stopped with some doubt, and the atmosphere was slightly awkward.

Naoki Nagayama didn't mean to stop them, but his standing here formed a kind of pressure......

Shrugging his shoulders, just thinking about turning and leaving, but the scene of young people splashing sweat moved his heart, and even the anxiety hidden deep in his heart for this period of time seemed to be touched, and he yearned for this wanton youth.

Instead, he walked in and said to the five young people:

"Add me!"

"?!!"

The young people who had intended to leave were all stunned.

"Add me, aren't you missing one person? Just 3V3!" Street basketball is generally 3V3. Naoki Nagayama smiled and started to warm up. He was wearing very loose clothes, so he could play directly.

Several young people looked at each other and agreed without surprise...... On the basketball court, if there is a vacancy, it is very common to join in and play a pickup game.

After quickly dividing the teams, Naoki Nagayama soon integrated into it.

"Pass it to me!" "Defend him!" "Block!"

"Three seconds, three seconds!"

"He traveled!"

Pickup games without referees rely on the eyes of both sides. After being pointed out, no one would play rogue, and they would directly change ball possession and restart.....

Naoki Nagayama had no talent for basketball. He was not in the sports department when he was in high school, and he only played with his roommates when he was in college before crossing over.

However, at this time, relying on his height advantage, he played on par with several young people who obviously played basketball frequently.

"Come again, come again~"

A ball went in, and Naoki Nagayama and the others immediately changed defense.

His T-shirt was already soaked with sweat, and the others were about the same~

However, as the light dimmed, this unexpected basketball game was almost coming to an end. Naoki Nagayama had unknowingly played in the venue for two hours~

The wanton flowing sweat seemed to take away the panic, anxiety, hesitation, etc., that had been accumulating in his heart for the past few days all at once.

Naoki Nagayama felt much more relaxed!

The All-Star Sports Meet in the other venue also reached the halftime break. The organizer naturally prepared sushi and rice balls for the participating members. Anyway, it was summer, so it didn't matter if they ate it cold. If the artists didn't want to eat the standard food, they could also ask their own agents to buy it.....

Akina Mori was originally eating with Yu Hayami and Kyoko Koizumi, but after looking around, she didn't see her boyfriend, so she walked to the side of Fusunori Akiko:

"Fusunori-san, have you seen Naoki-san?"

"Did Naoki Nagayama come too?" Fusunori Akiko didn't notice at all.

"Hai.... But I didn't see him after looking around....." Akina Mori knew that Naoki Nagayama said he would wait for her, so he must be in the gymnasium now.

"Then..... maybe he is with the organizer." Fusunori Akiko was a little uncertain, but the guests of the organizer and some staff were indeed eating in other places.

Akina Mori was a little disappointed, she wanted to talk to Naoki-san during the break.

Just at this time, she heard the staff passing by saying something like "Naoki Nagayama" and "playing basketball", and walked curiously in the direction they came from.

The venue where Naoki Nagayama and several people were playing basketball was no longer just a few people at this time. I don't know when, the male idols who were resting also began to play under the remaining basketball hoops.

Toshihiko Tahara, Shonentai, Hideki Saijo, Masahiko Kondo...... In addition to these male idols, more and more female idols who came to watch the fun also gathered around.

The five people playing basketball with Naoki Nagayama saw more and more "celebrities" and began to become very cautious, and even the passing became soft......

Just at this time, the organizer's people seemed to understand this scene and felt it was very valuable, so they found several cameras and prepared to record behind-the-scenes footage.

"Who are you people? Don't you know that this gymnasium has been rented by us?!"

A middle-aged man with a work permit found that some people in one of the venues were not wearing the sportswear issued by the organizer, so he came to drive people away rudely:

"Please leave immediately, we are going to film."

Looking at the middle-aged man waving his arms, the five young people were stunned, and there was nothing to say, so they prepared to leave.

"Wait, which class are you in! What are your names!" The middle-aged man didn't let them go, but stopped the few people who were about to leave, and asked for detailed information aggressively, looking like he wanted to complain to the school.

Some people are like this, having a little power, they want to make things difficult for others.

"Who are you!""Why should I tell you!""Get out of the way~" College students are naturally not people who swallow their anger, but when they are not reasonable, they all feel a bit fierce but cowardly.

The male idols on the side remained silent, not their business, they naturally wouldn't go against the organizer for strangers. Seeing the few young people looking a bit cramped, Naoki Nagayama walked to the middle-aged man:

"They are my friends~ Just happened to meet, so I brought them over to play for a while. For my sake, let them leave~"

Naoki Nagayama activated the "Face Fruit"!

"Who are you....." The middle-aged man just wanted to say something, but recognized the person in front of him, "Naoki Nagayama-san......"

And seeing Naoki Nagayama come forward, the few people from Shonentai also came to the side:

"Yeah, yeah, Manager-san, it was originally their gymnasium, but they just came over to play basketball....."

And others who didn't come over also echoed a few words on the side.

The middle-aged manager saw so many celebrities interceding, and the person in front of him was Naoki Nagayama, who had a great reputation, and instantly changed his attitude:

"Since that's the case, then don't do it again next time~"

"Haha, then thank you."

After Naoki Nagayama thanked him, he turned his head and said to the few people playing basketball:

"Everyone go back first, let's play together again when we meet in the future!"

"Hai!""Then it's a deal~"

The three people from Shonentai still wanted to continue to invite Naoki Nagayama to play basketball, but he had no strength left now.

"Haha, played for an afternoon, starving to death now...." Naoki Nagayama declined, "I'll go eat dinner first....."

Walking out from the female idols at the door, Naoki Nagayama happened to meet Akina Mori and Fusunori Akiko who were looking for him. She was very surprised to see Naoki Nagayama soaked in sweat:

"Naoki-san, what did you do?"

"Haha, played basketball for a while before." Naoki Nagayama tilted his head and asked Akina, "Preparing to go eat now..... Does Akina want to go together?"

"Now?"

"There should be some snacks nearby, I'll go buy some." Naoki Nagayama said, "It's just that the T-shirt on my body is wet and sticky...."

"Don't you have a spare one in the car?" Akina asked. As an artist, she always has clothes in her car.

"..... Who knew I would need to change today....." Naoki Nagayama shook his head.

Fusunori Akiko on the side suddenly interjected: "Seems like the organizer has a lot of sportswear....."

"Eh?" Naoki Nagayama asked in surprise, "Then can I borrow one?"

Just like that, Naoki Nagayama, Akina Mori, and Fusunori Akiko found the room where materials were stored and borrowed a sportswear from the attendant brother....... Although it looked like cheap goods at a glance, it was no problem for an emergency.

"Arigato~" Naoki Nagayama took the sports T-shirt and turned his head to look around, "Let's change now~"

Walking such a long way, his body had already dried, but the T-shirt was wet and sticky on his body, which was very uncomfortable. Naoki Nagayama thought that the bathroom was in another corner of the gymnasium, and didn't want to walk over.

Seeing that there was no one else in the material storage room, Naoki Nagayama said to Akina:

"Akina, turn around~"

"???" Akina Mori hadn't reacted yet, but found that Naoki Nagayama had already started taking off his top!

Although she had seen it many times before, this time there were outsiders on the side! Seeing that Naoki-san had already revealed his large abdominal muscles, Akina Mori's little face turned red all of a sudden!

Quickly turned around!

I don't know why, even Fusunori Akiko and the brother who looked after the materials turned their backs together.....

The wet T-shirt was put aside, and Naoki Nagayama put on the sportswear....

Just at this time, Akina Mori suddenly heard the sound of girls coming from the door, it seemed like two or three girls were walking over!

The material storage room has windows! What if they see Naoki-san's body!

Akina Mori was anxious, and couldn't help but say:

"Naoki-san, put on your clothes quickly! Someone is coming!"

"......" Naoki Nagayama had two black lines on his forehead, "Sounds like catching an affair......"

"Hurry up! Someone is coming!"

Akina Mori listened to the sound outside getting closer and closer, and her voice became more anxious.

Couldn't help but turn her head to observe, just in time to see Naoki Nagayama pulling down the sports T-shirt, and the abdominal muscles were covered.....

"ε=(′ο`*)))Sigh~~" Akina let out a light breath~ What a pity..... After going back at night, I must see it clearly!

Naoki Nagayama put on his clothes and said:

"What's the big deal, it's just changing the top, at most see the upper body~"

"It's just no~"

Akina's expression is firm! Her boyfriend, only she can see!

Fusunori Akiko and the brother on the side looked at each other at this time, showing a helpless expression~

After entering the night, the main work of the sports meet changed from various sports competitions to filming.

Just like various award ceremonies, the final closing ceremony, in addition to various processes, the most important thing is the interviews and thoughts of the idol artists.

However, in the middle, Akina had a small situation.

This week's "thebestten" happened to be today, and Akina Mori's "Jikkai" was the first place, which made the program team pull over satellite relay live broadcast without fear of hardship.

During the closing ceremony, Akina Mori was pulled out and performed a segment live in the corridor.....

Naoki Nagayama stood among the surrounding audience, the sports T-shirt he was wearing made him blend into the group well, and he could see clearly even standing in the back row.

Being able to perform anytime, anywhere is a talent. Unlike some idols who only rely on stage effects, even with simple equipment, and even the accompaniment is used with headphones, Akina still sang the effect of the studio.

"Being able to attract everyone's attention even when singing on a cardboard box...... As expected, it is well-deserved~"

Naoki Nagayama looked at Akina's vivid appearance of being shy because she forgot the dance moves, and only felt that Akina at this moment was so vivid and full of vitality.

At ten o'clock, the sports meet finally ended.

Naoki Nagayama drove out of the parking lot early and picked up Akina Mori who rushed over halfway.

"How is it? Are you very tired today?" Naoki Nagayama asked with a smile.

"Not really...... I don't feel too exhausted." Compared to national tours or other large-scale events, Akina Mori felt that the fun sports meet could be said to be very relaxed, "And I haven't sweated so much for a long time."

"Then do you want to go back first, or go for a stroll?"

"Go back!" Akina Mori answered very firmly, "Today's exercise is enough! And I have to go to the TV station to record a program tomorrow!"

"There is still a program....."

"There are many more...." Top idols are very busy, okay!

"Alright~" Naoki Nagayama drove in the direction of home.

"Is Naoki-san still editing the movie tomorrow?" Akina Mori asked.

"No.... I'm going to participate in Shizuka Kudo's first concert."

"Shizuka Kudo, huh~" Akina made an inexplicable sigh.

"......."

After returning to the Mountain Cherry Garden, it naturally attracted the enthusiastic welcome of Eitaro and Miaotaro. Watching Akina happily petting the dog, Naoki Nagayama strangely lifted the orange cat to observe.

Until the eyes on the big orange round head turned to other directions unnaturally.

"Naoki-san, what's wrong?" Akina leaned over and looked at Miaotaro too.

"Miaotaro is a bit strange...." Naoki Nagayama said, "This guy has never actively leaned over except when he wants to eat!"

"Is it because he didn't eat today?"

"No, the stomach is bulging!"

Naoki Nagayama touched the big orange's stomach. Before, when Naoki Nagayama petted the cat, Miaotaro had a look of "let you pick", although he enjoyed it without resisting, he wouldn't lean over when not being petted.

But today, as soon as he came back, he rubbed against him very abnormally, and even the meowing sound was clipped.

"Something must be abnormal!"

Naoki Nagayama felt that this guy might have done something bad! So he spent some time checking everywhere in the Mountain Cherry Garden, but found nothing.

"Naoki-san, I think you think too much, Miaotaro just wants to be close to you." Akina hugged Miaotaro and laughed.

"Alright, believe it for now....." Naoki Nagayama said, "Check it again tomorrow during the day!"

Seeing that it was late at night, Naoki Nagayama didn't continue to investigate and prepared to go to the second floor to rest.

"Akina, do you want to take a bath first?"

At this time, Akina didn't know what she thought of, and hurriedly said: "Naoki-san go wash first!"

"Good~"

However, when Naoki Nagayama was taking a shower, he heard Akina's voice outside the bathroom:

"Naoki-san...... is the water temperature okay?"

"Uh....." I'm taking a shower~

"Did you bring a change of clothes?"

"Uh....." Looking at the underwear on the hanger, Naoki Nagayama didn't speak. His girlfriend has ulterior motives!

"Then..... is the shampoo enough?"

"......"

Naoki Nagayama gently pulled the partition door open, and sure enough, he saw Akina with a flushed face standing at the door.

"If Akina is so concerned, come in and see~"

"Ah.... this......"

Naoki Nagayama reached out and pulled Akina into the bathroom all of a sudden~ ===== CHAPTER 703 =====
