Chapter 939: I feel like an NPC~~~

Qinglai is a place that Naoki Nagayama is quite familiar with, after all, he has been here several times~

However, when he came today, he was still a little nervous. The formal suit he was wearing seemed to be ill-fitting, either tight here or wrinkled there...

He has talked about many romances in his two lives, but no matter what, this is the first time he has formally proposed marriage.

And as long as he cares in his heart, no matter what kind of person he is usually, at such a moment, his mood will fluctuate a little~

"Naoki-san..." Akina Mori on the side tilted her head to look at her boyfriend, a smile appearing in her eyes, "It's rare to see Naoki-san so nervous..."

"Nervous? How is that possible!" Naoki Nagayama subconsciously looked for an excuse, turning the steering wheel to get off the highway and driving into the city road of Qinglai, "It's just that the air humidity is a bit high, and it's a bit uncomfortable... It will definitely rain today!"

Akina looked at the sky from the car window. The bright sunshine sprinkled on the houses on both sides of the road, shining brightly and warmly, and she could see housewives hanging washed clothes on the clothesline...

"Hi hi hi..." Akina Mori didn't mean to dismantle it, echoing Naoki Nagayama's statement.

However, Naoki Nagayama, who was driving, naturally saw the sun shining, but the most important thing for a man is to be stubborn:

"I mean afternoon, or before evening... Don't look at the sun now, this kind of shower still depends on the air humidity..."

Then there was another burst of air convection, autumn rain, small-scale rainfall and other weather nouns, which made Akina Mori on the side unable to help laughing.

"Hi hi hi~"

While the two were fighting, the Toyota Century finally arrived at the old house of the Mori family.

On the weekend, there was also a taxi parked next to the old house, which seemed to be the car of Akina's brother, who was driving a taxi now.

Akina Mori walked to the door with light steps, greeted Naoki Nagayama who was carrying the gift, and then pushed the door open and said loudly:

"I'm back!!!"

Because they had called before coming, the Mori family were all waiting in the old house. They saw Chieko, who was wearing a kimono, walking to the entrance with small steps and saying with a smile:

"Welcome home..."

Then she looked at Naoki Nagayama and said politely: "Naoki-kun is here too~"

"Long time no see, Chieko-san..." Naoki Nagayama bowed and greeted very politely, and then handed over the gift he brought, "This is a little bit of heart..."

"Why so polite..."

Chieko Mori said polite words, but took the gift for granted, and then led the two towards the living room.

Naoki Nagayama felt that this scene was like a cutscene in a host game. Every move seemed to be set. He, the player, could not control the character's behavior and could only follow the plot into the next scene...

I feel like an NPC!

It's just that his level should be cheated. No matter what, he won't lose blood, and he will eventually pass the level with one hit...

Walking into the living room, seeing Akio Mori sitting in the middle and the brothers and sisters of Akina lined up on both sides, Naoki Nagayama even felt that the blank space next to him slowly turned into the name of this level - Mori Old House - Living Room.

The few people inside are the little monsters and BOSS that need to be defeated in this level...

"Long time no see, Mori-san... and everyone..." Naoki Nagayama greeted everyone politely, "Recently... is everything okay?"

"Okay... okay..."

Akio Mori said polite words in a calm tone, and the expression on his face could not be said to be enthusiastic or dissatisfied.

Because there are many children, he has experienced this proposal many times today. He could pick on the thorns in the previous few times, standing on the moral high ground to make things difficult for the prospective son-in-law... But this pair...

This daughter of his own has grown to a very high status and cannot be disciplined, and the prospective son-in-law... If it weren't for the daughter's relationship, he might not even be able to talk...

After sitting down, there was an awkward silence in the living room for a while, and neither side knew how to start.

Until Chieko served hot tea and began to greet:

"Naoki-kun, please use~"

"Arigato~"

"This is the stir-fried tea brought from the hometown... How do you feel?"

"There is a fresh fragrance..."

In this way, the normal conversation began, and the atmosphere in the living room began to become relaxed.

Akina's eldest brother and second brother asked about the things he was busy with recently. Naoki Nagayama talked about "The Legend of Hayato" which was being filmed, which had just started and would be released next year...

Akina Mori was pulled to the eaves corridor, chatting with several sisters and Minghui...

"Tree Friends Film has produced quite a few excellent works this year!"

Eldest brother Akio Mori sighed. Whether it was "Squid Game" or "Love Century", they were works that made everyone's eyes shine. Even "Midnight Diner" in the late-night slot made many people like the warm small shop that only opened at midnight.

"Yes, one after another..." Akihiko Mori followed on the side, "It seems to have covered the audience's eyes for a whole year!"

"Haha, it hasn't been a whole year yet~" Naoki Nagayama laughed, "The next TV series will be released on Monday!"

"Oh? Really?"

"Yes, the name is '101st Proposal'... It's in the golden slot of Fuji TV!"

"That's really something to look forward to!" "Yes, yes!"

Originally Akio Mori didn't say much, just listened to his own children and Naoki Nagayama chatting, but after hearing the name of the TV series, it seemed to trigger some keywords and put down the teacup and said:

"'101st Proposal'? Is it that you proposed so many times?"

"It's the last time!" Naoki Nagayama said, "After so many times, this time it finally succeeded!"

"Oh? So that's it..."

Since the topic has reached here, Naoki Nagayama also knows that it is time, so he sat upright and said to Akio Mori:

"Mori-san... if it is convenient, I have something to explain to you alone..."

"Oh? Can't you say it in front of everyone?" Akio Mori took the tone, as if he was quite surprised, "Is it a very important thing?"

"Hi, it's a very solemn thing!" Naoki Nagayama nodded.

"Um... since that's the case..." Akio Mori signaled to his two sons, "Then Akio, Akihiko, you guys avoid it first..."

"Hi~" X2

Looking at Akina's two brothers leaving, only Akio Mori, who was wearing a kimono, and himself were left in the living room, Naoki Nagayama inexplicably had a sense of playing games...

Clearly, he already knew that he was coming to propose marriage, and clearly it was already a foregone conclusion, but now he had to follow the fixed script like acting...

Can't he just say "You hurry up and marry Akina back", "Nothing to say, when is the wedding", or "Okay, okay, I know everything, you already made Akina pregnant, what else can you do", and end it like this?!

How simple, how convenient!

Afterwards, he could chat while eating, harmonious...

"Mori-san..." Although strange ideas kept bubbling in his head, Naoki Nagayama was still very solemn on the surface, "Please let Akina marry me!"

"Oh?" Akio Mori nodded and subconsciously followed the previous logic, "What do you take to marry my daughter? Guarantee her life and happiness..."

Halfway through the words, Akio Mori consciously stopped.

He looked at the prospective son-in-law in front of him who was wearing a high-end suit. He remembered that this guy was a famous director, famous writer, famous musician, boss of a big company, young billionaire...

Any title is enough!

"Cough cough..." Akio Mori coughed tactically and shifted the direction without a trace, "Can you guarantee to treat my daughter well after marriage?"

"This is natural! I will love Akina as always!"

Naoki Nagayama patted his chest and made a guarantee!

At this time, outside the living room, because the house itself was not big, the whole family was gathered in the eaves corridor of the courtyard.

Akina Mori looked at the living room nervously, quite uneasy:

"Okasan, what will father say to Naoki-san?!"

"They are all ordinary words..." Chieko was not worried at all. Such a son-in-law had nothing to pick on, "When Akiko and Akie got married, they also said it..."

"Akie-sister, Akiko-sister, what did father say to brother-in-law at that time?" Akina Mori still asked her sister.

"Listening to what was said later, it seems that there is some legitimate way to make a living, and then you have to guarantee to treat your wife well after marriage." Akie Mori said, holding her little daughter. Her son Zhaoming has already gone to kindergarten.

"Clearly he can't do it himself..." Chieko said with disdain on the side.

Other children heard Chieko's words, all with an expression that they had just heard nothing...

The parents of the family are not harmonious, which the children naturally know. They also know that it is just a nominal husband and wife now.

Several children can be said to be pulled up by Chieko. The father is often not at home and later cheated, so they naturally lean towards their mother.

Now that the children have grown up, there is nothing that can stop them. If it weren't for the bad reputation, the two would have divorced long ago.

Akina Mori held her mother's arm, but she was still anxious in her heart.

"It's okay, it will definitely be agreed!" Chieko patted Akina's head, "If your father doesn't agree, I will agree too!"

"Hi~"

Akina Mori showed a smile on her face, then ran to her eldest sister Akie Mori and took over her little niece Xiao Ai.

"Akina is finally going to be a mother herself~" Eldest sister Akie laughed, "You can hold your own child in the future, otherwise you always come to grab my daughter to hold..."

"That's because Xiao Ai is really cute, isn't she? Xiao Ai?"

Akina Mori teased her little niece who was only six months old in her arms. The child who couldn't speak could only answer with ah ah ah.

The Akio and Akihiko in the distance also had no topic to talk about in the pile of women, so they talked about recent work.

"Akihiko... determined to open a shop with father?"

"Well... at least making ramen is no problem..." Akihiko Mori didn't get into college. After working part-time several times, he decided to try opening a

"How about..." Akihiro Nakamori was a taxi driver; although it was a bit tiring, it was a pretty good job for this era. He turned his head to look inside the house, "After Akina gets married, ask the brother-in-law if he can introduce a good job?"

Although Akina Nakamori had great fame and was a top idol... she only earned a lot of money; her say in other areas was not very large. Even though she was already a shareholder, it was a very troublesome matter to arrange for family members to work at the agency.

If it were a girl, out of respect for Akina, perhaps some resources could be allocated to help with a debut or something, but if it were a male family member, it was quite difficult. After all, one couldn't just arrange for someone with no particular skills to work as a cleaner or security guard... after all, they were Akina's relatives...

If it were just a matter of giving money to support them, how would that be any different from Akina herself giving them money...

But if it were a powerful president of a large company like Naoki Nagayama, casually placing someone would just be a matter of a single word; at worst, he could just arrange an idle position, like an expired document clerk or something...

"I still want to try opening my own shop first~" Akihito Nakamori was not very old and still had many aspirations for his own future, "My own business is a bit more free."

"Alright~ Let's try it first~"

Akihiro Nakamori didn't say much more. After all, following a father who could only manage a butcher shop with mediocre results to open a store, it would be good enough if they didn't lose money... Some people can't be taught by others, but one lesson is enough to teach a person.

While the few were chatting, the conversation in the living room had already reached its end.

"So, you are planning to hold the wedding in Shizuoka, right?" Akio Nakamori asked.

"Hi, because several generations have held their weddings at the family temple..."

"Hmm, that does make sense!" Akio Nakamori nodded. He had no objections to this decision; after all, it was the groom's ancestral home and a family tradition.

"Then, when welcoming the bride..."

"We will book a hotel in Shizuoka and welcome her out from the hotel in the morning," Naoki Nagayama said directly. If it weren't for the urgent timeline, buying a house in Shizuoka would also have been an option.

"As for the people invited..."

"Nakamori-san and Chieko-san, please be sure to attend..." Naoki Nagayama's tone was very solemn, "Akina's brothers and sisters also hope to be at the wedding venue... I will pick them up together from the hotel!"

"Her mother and I have no problem with that..." Akio Nakamori said, "As for Akihiro and the others, it depends on whether they have the time... after all, it's going to Shizuoka."

"Hi, Akina and I will confirm..."

"Hmm... there are no other problems in other aspects..." Akio Nakamori was silent for a moment, then said, "Since that's the case, I will entrust my daughter to you! I hope you will treat Akina well in the future!"

"Hi!" Naoki Nagayama promised, "I will definitely take good care of Akina!"

"Mm, that's good!"

"..."

After the living room door opened, both Naoki Nagayama and Akio Nakamori had smiles on their faces, so the people outside naturally knew that everything had gone smoothly.

Chieko smiled and was about to start preparing lunch:

"Today I made Akina's favorite fried meatballs, Naoki-san, please eat plenty too!"

"That's truly great!" Naoki Nagayama nodded with a smile, "I've been missing this delicacy!"

In the yard, Akina Nakamori was still holding her little niece, Ai, and chatting with her sisters. When she looked up at Naoki Nagayama, a flash of shyness crossed her face, then she immediately turned away and continued teasing her little niece!
