Chapter 751: When it comes to dodging the camera, I have the most confidence!
A cold wind blew as he walked out of the main gate of Fuji Television, making people unable to help but wrap their coats tighter.
"Is it going to cool down again?"
The cold wind carried moisture, and as it swept past the street trees and shrubs by the road, it made a rustling sound of branches and leaves colliding. Under the cover of the night, one could see thin, long black shadows whispering, seemingly discussing the autumn rain tonight.
Looking up and out, the sky was already completely dark, but the commercial street near Fuji Television was brightly lit, and the shops were bustling; it was just the time for office workers to come out to eat and relax.
Looking into the distance, the red warning lights on the high-rise buildings in the main city area were already lit, and the windows below were still flashing with light; I don't know how many people were still struggling inside.
And further away in the residential area, warm yellow lights were penetrating from the windows, and one could vaguely see the silhouettes of fathers, mothers, and children.
"Better go back early~"
Naoki Nagayama hurriedly found his Toyota Century, started the car, and drove toward the night of Tokyo.
The evening rush hour hadn't passed yet, and there were many vehicles on the road, but fortunately, there were no accidents, and the speed of progress was considered okay.
He happened to pass by a bakery, and the aroma of wheat and the sweetness of sucrose lingered beside Naoki Nagayama's nose, making people unable to help but want to take a bite.
Looking at the people queuing in the bakery, most were couples, and there were also mothers and children... A strange masculine psychology suddenly popped up to make trouble:
"... A man going to eat dessert alone, it always feels a bit strange..."
Naoki Nagayama looked at his current position and then looked at the time on his watch...
"It seems Akina is at TBS right now? *The Best Ten* hasn't started broadcasting yet... so it's very normal for me as a boyfriend to go give Akina snacks!"
Seemingly having made psychological construction, Naoki Nagayama parked the car and began to choose desserts in the bakery just now.
The bakery girl wearing a white apron and chef's hat, who was still wearing a mask, had her eyes widened after seeing Naoki Nagayama...
"Nagayama... Naoki?" she asked in disbelief, "In person?"
"No... I'm just a common face!" Naoki Nagayama picked out strawberry cakes and tiramisu, as well as some other snacks, and said to the bakery girl, "Please help me pack them~"
The bakery girl, who was still peeking while packing, couldn't help but say:
"No way! You really are Naoki Nagayama!"
"..." Looking at the other person's somewhat serious appearance, Naoki Nagayama had to shake his head, "Alright, you caught me... it is me in person~"
"I said it was!" The little sister's packing speed increased, "My eyes are very sharp!"
"Hai hai hai, very sharp~" Naoki Nagayama laughed, "How much is it in total?"
"Ah... this... total 2560 yen!" The clerk calculated in a panic, then looked at the dessert that was clearly for two people, and looked up with some hesitation, "Could this be... for Akina-chan?"
Naoki Nagayama took out his wallet to pay, looking at this clerk little sister with some strangeness: "Do bakeries now ask so detailedly?"
"..." "No no no," "That..." "Sumimasen!"
The little sister apologized in a panic, then held the packaging bag up with both hands, bowed, and handed it to Naoki Nagayama,
"I'm just a fan of Akina-chan, so I'm a bit overly concerned..."
Naoki Nagayama wasn't angry either, just a bit surprised; to think he could still run into Akina's fan here; sure enough, his girlfriend is a national idol now!
"It's okay~ But you didn't guess wrong; this is indeed for Akina~"
"Ah! Really?!"
The clerk little sister's eyes lit up immediately...
Naoki Nagayama, who arrived at the TBS Hall, easily found the studio of *The Best Ten* while carrying the snacks.
Since it was half an hour before the broadcast started, the participating guests had already rehearsed, so they should be making final preparations now.
"Naoki-san?"
Fusunori Akiko saw Naoki Nagayama in the hallway first; being an agent means accompanying the artist all the time when they are on a show.
Although a program like *The Best Ten* was already very mature and wouldn't have any problems, he wouldn't be too far from Akina Nakamori either.
"Fusunori-san." Naoki Nagayama indicated the dessert in his hand, "I came to visit the set~ Brought some snacks for Akina~"
"..."
Fusunori Akiko couldn't help but complain in his heart; you two are already living together now, and you can see each other every day at night, so why are you still doing this?!
Is this sending snacks? This is clearly sending dog food to everyone!
"Would Fusunori-san like to have a taste?" Naoki Nagayama opened the bag, "But the tiramisu and strawberry cake won't do; these are for Akina and me..."
Pfft! Who wants to eat the dog food you sent!
Fusunori Akiko thought hatefully, but the tempting sweet fragrance wafted out, making this guy's saliva start to secrete crazily...
Before coming to TBS today, he only ate a little sushi and hand rolls; that was in the evening, and now it was just the time when he was hungry...
During this period, Akina's schedule was too full, and many times she could only deal with a bite or two in the car; he was the same, only having a late-night snack after the program recording ended...
"Arigato..."
Unknowingly, Fusunori Akiko, who had peach cakes and macarons in his hand, only felt a heat on his face and hurriedly changed the subject,
"Akina-chan is in the dressing room with her name on it, and Zhenxi-chan is also inside... right there!"
"Haha, then I'll go take a look~" Naoki Nagayama followed the directions to the dressing room door, then knocked and walked in.
Akina Nakamori was standing in front of a large mirror, using an eyebrow pencil to touch up her arched eyebrows; for the song *Tears Are Not Decorations*, she needed to draw her eyebrows a bit thicker.
And Maki Ueda was helping to fix the performance outfit with a large safety pin, and her mouth seemed to be saying "Akina-chan seems to have lost weight again..."
Seeing Naoki Nagayama walk in, both of them were stunned, and then Akina revealed a smile and walked over directly:
"Naoki-san, why are you here?!"
"Came to visit the set~" Naoki Nagayama laughed, "And brought some consolation gifts!"
"Eh~~~"
Creating a little surprise from time to time will add a lot of fun to the relationship, just like Akina now, happily looking at the desserts Naoki Nagayama brought, occasionally letting out exclamations.
"Cake, cookies, biscuits... so many~"
Akina Nakamori took the desserts out and placed them on the large dressing table; now only she was using this dressing room, so it was very spacious.
"Zhenxi-chan, take whatever you want to eat; I bought a lot~" Naoki Nagayama said to Maki Ueda on the side, "Fusunori-san already took some just now."
"Then I won't be polite~" Maki Ueda was very perceptive; after taking a few cookies and macarons, she was about to leave the dressing room, "I'll go give Fusunori-san some more..."
After the dressing room door closed, Akina Nakamori pulled Naoki Nagayama to sit down affectionately:
"Why did Naoki-san come to see me today? And brought so many delicious things?"
"If I say, because I wanted to eat dessert, but a man can't eat alone, so I thought of Akina..." Naoki Nagayama opened the tiramisu packaging and scooped a spoonful, "Akina, do you believe it?"
"..."
Akina Nakamori looked at her boyfriend with a smile; he could have just said he wanted to see me! He's so not frank! However, I like it!
Naoki Nagayama looked at his girlfriend's eyes with a smile and knew she definitely didn't believe it... In fact, he didn't believe it himself, but in fact, this was indeed the true reason!
But now he couldn't explain it. Naoki Nagayama was helpless and could only feed the tiramisu in the spoon to Akina, watching Akina smile happily, and only then did he taste the dessert himself.
So sweet...
"Why did Naoki-san buy so many?" Akina Nakamori looked at the bag while accepting Naoki Nagayama's feeding; there were still many snacks inside.
"Because... I met Akina's fan~"
Naoki Nagayama stopped and told about his encounter in the bakery.
After that clerk little sister knew the snacks were for Akina, she immediately gave many other snacks; she looked like she wanted to take everything in the cabinet... Finally, she also asked Naoki Nagayama to be sure to help send a card to her idol~
He took out a pink greeting card from his pocket; it was the kind specifically placed on cakes.
"This was sent to Akina by a clerk..."
Akina Nakamori took it and opened it; it was a slightly sloppy handwriting, written directly on the counter at the time.
"Akina-chan! I love you the most! You must be happy! Ganbatte! —By Akiya Nozomi"
Reading it softly, a layer of water mist actually appeared in Akina's eyes, and a crystal clear drop slid from the corner of her eye... This made Naoki Nagayama a bit panicked; what's going on, is she so easily moved?!
"Akina? Are you okay?" Naoki Nagayama hurriedly put down the dessert and reached out to wipe away that tear, "Why are you crying after looking at a greeting card?"
Akina Nakamori looked up and smiled at her boyfriend:
"Moved by the most sincere kindness of others~"
Fighting in the entertainment industry, even with Akina Nakamori's current fame, the malice she perceived was countless.
The jealousy and cold words of fellow idols, the attacks and slander of bad fans, and the suppression of so-called seniors who couldn't stand the top-tier idol...
Especially after Akina Nakamori and Naoki Nagayama made it public, there were naturally blessings, especially when asked by the camera, but there were quite a few rumors behind the scenes that even Akina Nakamori herself knew about, and there were naturally more that she didn't know.
If it weren't for Naoki Nagayama's support and encouragement, the tolerance and understanding of loyal fans, and the protection of the agency, she didn't know what she would look like now.
"Naoki-san... do you remember?" Akina Nakamori looked up at her boyfriend, her delicate cheeks rubbing against Naoki Nagayama's hand, "Before entering the entertainment industry, you said what kind of idol I should be..."
"Hmm?"
Did I say that? What did I say? Naoki Nagayama is very panicked now!
"An idol who responds to fans' expectations, like a pointer, making fans better..." Akina Nakamori muttered, "I only now realize this goal is very difficult..."
"Hmm..."
Naoki Nagayama couldn't speak; Akina, don't take the words I used to fool a little girl so seriously!
However, in a turn, Akina Nakamori became full of vitality again:
"However, with the support of these fans, I will definitely work hard!"
"..." Looking at his girlfriend with firm eyes, Naoki Nagayama could only respond, "Hmm, Ganbatte!"
Just at this time, the dressing room door suddenly opened, and a burst of light laughter was heard:
"Akina-chan, let's go to the backstage together..."
Kyoko Koizumi walked in with a smile on her face and was stunned immediately... In the dressing room, Naoki Nagayama's hand was resting on Akina Nakamori's cheek, and the two were looking at each other affectionately...
This was clearly the look of wanting to kiss!!!
She actually broke in like this?!
Didn't this make her the legendary super invincible lightbulb?!
"Sumimasen... I didn't see anything!" Kyoko Koizumi immediately bowed and retreated, preparing to close the dressing room door...
She was still complaining in her heart, how can these two guys be like this?! Doing shameful things without even locking the door?! And it's in the TV station; this is also... too exciting... they really know how to play...
"Kyoko-chan..."
Akina Nakamori was stunned, and then her face immediately became hot, and a layer of crimson quickly climbed up her cheeks, and even her neck was a bit red... She hurriedly got up to chase her best friend.
Naoki Nagayama shook his head helplessly; it was really unclear now, but it didn't matter; they were lovers, so what if they were intimate?
This is the benefit of being public!
After Akina Nakamori finally chased Kyoko Koizumi back, Naoki Nagayama continued to eat dessert easily~
"Naoki-san..." Kyoko Koizumi greeted him a bit awkwardly.
"Kyoko-chan~" Naoki Nagayama laughed, completely not mentioning the awkwardness just now, "I brought a lot of consolation gifts; would you like to have a taste?"
"This..."
Kyoko Koizumi was a bit hesitant, but Akina Nakamori had already pulled her to sit down and stuffed the only strawberry cake into her hand,
"Naoki-san brought it specifically... it's delicious!"
"..." "Arigato~"
Just like that, the three of them started eating dessert in the dressing room... The atmosphere was slightly awkward~
"Kyoko-chan, did you just come to find Akina to go to the backstage?" Naoki Nagayama broke the atmosphere and brought up a topic.
"Yes!" Kyoko Koizumi said, "The broadcast is about to start... Akina's new song is on the list for the first time, so she should perform a bit earlier..."
*Tears Are Not Decorations* had already been released; although the momentum was rising fast, after all, there was a bit less time, so this time it wasn't in the top five of *The Best Ten*.
"Actually so early?" Naoki Nagayama was a bit surprised.
"Does Naoki-san want to go watch?" Akina Nakamori asked; she seemed to have never sung this song in front of Naoki-san!
"Is it okay?" Anyway, it would be lonely going back, so Naoki Nagayama became interested. (Eitaro: Woof?)
"There is definitely no problem..." Kyoko Koizumi and Akina Nakamori both made guarantees, "It's just that I don't know if the live broadcast camera will catch Naoki-san..."
"Haha, what is the camera doing for me... besides, I will hide in the audience under the stage~"
Naoki Nagayama laughed; as long as I hide fast enough, the camera definitely won't catch me!
