Tokyo Bubble Life

Chapter 1123 Chapter 1132, We are on vacation! Others are still at work.
It takes about 5 hours to drive from Tokyo to Kyoto, 2 hours by Shinkansen, and 3 hours by plane. Since there are no direct flights between the two cities, you have to transfer in Osaka, so it takes more time and energy.

Taking the Shinkansen is indeed more comfortable than taking a car, especially when you are the only ones in the carriage.

You can move around freely, sit wherever you want, and don’t care about other people’s looks.

Naoki Nagayama held the summer flower and looked out the window. As the train accelerated, the scenery kept flowing and gradually blurred, and finally turned into constantly changing blocks of color. The window was like an abstract painting.
But Xiao Xiahua was watching it very happily. I guess she is just a little sensitive to colors now.

Akina and Mrs. Nonaka Mari were chatting quietly.
"Kyoto."

Akina mentioned the key words of Kyoto, such as Red Fish House, and occasionally added some gestures, and the whole person looked very energetic.
It has been almost a year now. Because of having a baby, I couldn't go out to travel, and my husband had to drag me to shoot a movie. People have forgotten that Akina is just a young girl in her early twenties.

A few hours passed in a flash, and Xiao Xiahua fell asleep in her mother's arms, but the other three were not sleepy at all.

"We've arrived at Kyoto Station."

As the broadcast sounded, Naoki Nagayama and others put on masks and sunglasses and followed the crowd out of the station.

Naoki Nagayama carried a small package with him, which contained baby supplies. Of course, he had no luggage or anything, as he had already sent someone to deliver it to Hongyuyuan.

As soon as we exited the station, we saw a familiar figure waving and walking towards us. When he came to the side, he reached out and took the package:

"Naoki-san, the car has been arranged and is parked over there."

"Thank you for your hard work, Toda-kun." Naoki Nagayama patted the shoulder of the full-time driver Toda Tomiyasu, "The luggage has arrived at Hongyuyuan, right?"

"Hi, it has been delivered to the custodial housekeeper, and the Red Fish House has also been cleaned. We are just waiting for Naoki-san and Akina-san to move in!" Toda Tomoyus answered and led the way in front.

He arrived early yesterday, also by Shinkansen, but when he moved to Kyoto, he went to a car rental company and rented a high-end Mercedes-Benz business car to conveniently pick up the Nagayama family. Of course, it was at public expense.

The black Mercedes outside the station was not conspicuous, but the interior was spacious and had safety seats installed. After Naoki Nagayama and his companions sat in it, there was still plenty of space.
After a half-hour drive, the group finally arrived at Hongyoin, located at the foot of Rurikoin Mountain!

The owner came back and naturally entered through the main gate. When Mrs. Nonoka Mari got out of the car and walked through the main gate, she covered her mouth in surprise.
As you enter the door, you will see an exquisite garden. The golden chrysanthemums blooming in autumn and the bright red maple trees are scattered around, forming a harmonious landscape together with the rockery and strange rocks.

A little further away is a large expanse of water, where you can occasionally see koi of various colors swimming leisurely in the rippling water, most of which are red. When they are still, they look like maple leaves falling on the water.
A little further away is a low mountain, with a sacred path looming among the lush green bamboos.
Between the mountains and the water, three red and white buildings are arranged in the shape of a mountain, and a pavilion extends into the water. The whole building is full of divinity, and it is eye-catching when you look at it from a distance.
"This is the Red Fish Courtyard in autumn~"

"Yes, Morisan, isn't it beautiful?"

“This is no longer a question of whether it’s beautiful or not.”

Mrs. Nonaka Mari murmured to herself. She thought she had come to the villa of an ancient noble.
Mrs. Nonaka Mari had been to Hongyuin before, but it was not the autumn leaves season at that time.

Coming here this time of year, it feels like a completely different place!

Compared to Rurikoin Temple on Mt. Hiei, this is not inferior at all, right?!
"Morisan, let's go. It'll take ten minutes."

Toda Tomoan was already amazed yesterday, but he felt much better today. Seeing that Nagayama and his wife were already walking towards the main house, he quickly said to Nonaka Mari,
"This yard is very big, and there is a path running through it."

This courtyard was built according to the plan of one step, one view, so the path is naturally winding to make it convenient for guests to appreciate the scenery of the courtyard.

Naoki Nagayama walked slowly while holding Natsuka, while Akina introduced her to the baby, stopping from time to time to show the baby special sights.

Even such a small baby will stare at something beautiful.
After arriving at the main house, the gilded plaque is shining, and the words "Xiangrui Yumian" are clearly visible.
The villa manager has prepared all the supplies for the room. If you don't want to cook yourself, it's just a matter of making a phone call to invite a chef to come to your house.

However, Naoki Nagayama and Akina are both good at cooking, and they don’t want to be disturbed by too many strangers when they are on vacation, so they will probably cook by themselves.
"Naoki-san and I will live in the main house." Akina acted like a hostess and assigned the rooms, "Mari-san, you will live in the room on the left. At night, Natsuka-chan will sleep with you."

The Nagayama family disappeared from Tokyo, but Tokyo's entertainment industry did not stop at all.

First of all, during an interview on a program, Toshihiko Tahara clearly stated that the crew had completed filming, which increased the outside world's curiosity about "Ghost".

Then there were some Reuters photos and posters specially distributed by tree friends. Everyone was looking forward to the arrival of Christmas a month in advance.

In addition to movies, the entertainment industry has a lot of activities at the end of the year, with all kinds of publicity reports and news revelations. However, what has been hotly discussed in the circle during this period is naturally the debut of the new singer "Neon Voice" Izumi Sakai, who is highly praised by Shuyou!
The first album quickly occupied the top three of the Oricon chart, approaching Dong Jia Furen's "Passion"~
She had already gained fame for her "Neon Voice" and won a lot of audience favor, and her outstanding performance at the Tokyo International Film Festival made her famous in the entertainment industry. Now, the combination of these two elements is reflected in Izumi Sakai's first album after her debut.

With the strong support of Shuyou Agency, the sales of this album exceeded 10 copies in the first week, and then showed a steep upward trend.
As a newcomer, Izumi Sakai is currently rehearsing at the FNS Song Festival.

"Izumi-san."

Horiuchi Yufu had gone out to answer a phone call before, and now he hurried to the large rest room backstage. Newcomers naturally shared a large one, and Sakai Izumi did not receive any special treatment.
"I'll add another schedule tonight. Go to TBS to record a notice."

Even the usually gentle Izumi Sakai frowned at this time:
"Another increase?!"

Today she got up in the early morning and was busy until the evening, and she finished 7 shows!
"Hi, I'm a surprise guest performer who was arranged at the last minute. I just need to come on stage, say a few words, and then sing a song."

Horiuchi Isamu comforted his artists. After all, he had been in the industry for several years and knew that when dealing with artists who had just debuted, in addition to communicating about work, he also had to soothe the artists' mentality. Many artists were overwhelmed by the sudden increase in work after their debut.

"."

Seeing that Izumi Sakai was in a low mood, Horiuchi Yufu quickly comforted her:

"Izumi-san, this is a must for every artist. Debuting to increase exposure is the best way to expand fame and increase song sales!"

The agent saw that the artist's expression did not change, and immediately changed his tone:

"Even Naoki-san's wife, Akina Nakamori, went through this when she first debuted!"

"Akina-san?" Izumi Sakai looked at Horiuchi Isamu, "Akina-san doesn't have that many schedules! Don't lie to me?!"

She had chatted with Akina Nakamori and had heard about what happened before her marriage.

"It's true. When Akina-san first debuted, she would leave early and come back late every day, even catching up on sleep in the car!"

"."

Izumi Sakai still didn't believe it.

"But she seems to only be busy on tour for a few months each year."

"That's because Akina-san has become famous! You don't have to work so hard anymore!"

Horiuchi Isamu said that he actually knew another reason. At that time, he was already in love with Nagayama Naoki, and any random movement made by the two of them would make headlines in the media. The exposure rate was much higher than if they worked hard to catch up with announcements!

"So, now all we have to do is work hard. When Quanshui-san becomes more famous, the number of trips will gradually decrease!"

Izumi Sakai seemed to be comforted, but still a little helpless:
".So I have to add more schedule today!"

Horiuchi Yufu smiled and advised:

"Quanshui-san, think on the bright side. After tonight, you can sleep in tomorrow!"

"Are there going to be any more last-minute announcements?!"

Izumi Sakai looked at her exclusive agent with some distrust. This guy always said one thing and another.

"I promise!"

"."

After the agent left, Izumi Sakai chatted with Asaka Yui who was in the same lounge.

Asaka Yui has been in the industry for a year. She was originally a mediocre idol, but her popularity soared after she starred in "Tamei Keiichi III: The Legend of Ninja Scrolls" in October this year. The period of her popularity was similar to that of Izumi Sakai.

"Wei-chan, are artists always this busy in the early days of their debut?"

“Not really”

Asaka Yui shook her head. When she debuted, her career was very quiet and her debut song didn't even make it into the Oricon charts. Naturally, she didn't have so many announcements and schedules.

It wasn't until a year later that things started to get hot, and it wasn't until last month that things started to get busy.

“Only famous artists are so busy!”

"Eh? I just debuted?"

"Izumi," Asaka Yui looked at Sakai Izumi, who looked like a queen but was actually a pure newcomer in the entertainment industry, "Your fame and popularity right after your debut are already the pinnacle that many idol singers desire but cannot obtain!"

"Is this so"

Izumi Sakai, who has been smoothly reaching the peak of popularity since participating in "Neon Voice", really cannot understand the plight of other grassroots artists.

"Anyway, take advantage of this opportunity. It only comes once or twice in a person's life."

"Hey, I got it!"

Izumi Sakai nodded, and gradually understood the goal.
"At least, we have to win all the newcomer awards in various music competitions!"

It was night at the Hongyuyuan in the suburbs.

The sound of the wind in the bamboo forest, the chirping of night birds, the flow of the stream, and the sudden sinking of the fish in the water, making low gurgling sounds, all kinds of tiny sounds rang out from time to time in the night, making the Red Fish Courtyard seem even quieter.

From the French windows of the main house, you can see that the fire in the fireplace has been lit. The warm light shines through the window onto the water, creating a shimmering pattern.
In the living room, a jukebox was playing soft blues, and Naoki Nagayama was dancing with a glass of red wine in one hand and Akina in the other.
In fact, it’s not really dancing, it’s just two people slowly swaying their bodies to the rhythm, enjoying this intimate and leisurely time~
Xiao Xiahua was naturally taken to bed by Nonaka Mari. How could there be an extra light bulb in the world of two people on vacation?
After the song ended, the two of them snuggled up on the sofa to rest. At this time, Akina looked at the wine glass in Naoki Nagayama's hand and felt a little greedy:

"Naoki-san, let me have a sip!"

"Red wine?" Naoki Nagayama looked at his wine, "Can I drink it now?"

She is still breastfeeding. If her mother drinks, then Xia Hua will be drinking alcohol-flavored breast milk tomorrow?!

"How about I make you a non-alcoholic cocktail?"

"No, I want to drink! Real alcohol!" Akina stretched out her hands and locked Naoki Nagayama's hands holding the wine glass, as if she suddenly had a drinking addiction, "I haven't drunk for more than a year!!"

".Then it's settled, just one bite!"

"Mmmmmmm!"

After Mingcai got the red wine glass, she couldn't wait to put it to her lips, and then drank all the red wine that was still one-third in the glass.
After drinking it, a satisfied smile appeared on his face, and he wiped his lips proudly, and he was just about to let out an "ah"!

".Didn't you say you only wanted to drink one sip?"

"It was just one mouthful!" Akina said confidently, "I finished it in one gulp!"

"."

Thoughts like "a woman who has just given birth will become stupid for three years", "treat her like a child and coax her", and "don't be angry, don't be angry" echoed in Naoki Nagayama's mind. He shook his head and decided not to argue with the child's mother.

"Okay, just one sip! But you can't drink it after this!"

"."

Seeing his wife nodding self-deceivingly, her eyes still on the red wine glass, Naoki Nagayama shook his head again.

It looks like I can’t drink anymore, otherwise it will definitely be snatched away!
So I got up and went to the bar and made a non-alcoholic cocktail called Shirley Temple, which had the same red color as red wine, as a substitute for Mingcai.

The Shirley Temple cocktail with ice cubes tastes refreshing and has the right balance of sweetness and sourness. It is also suitable to drink it by the fireplace while listening to music.

The two of them listened to music and drank drinks while chatting casually. Before they knew it, it was already very late.
"Naoki-san," Akina leaned on Naoki Nagayama's shoulder and said softly, "You said that we are on vacation at Hongyuyuan now, what are the others doing?"

"other people?"

Naoki Nagayama leaned his head on the sofa and said casually,

"Maybe working overtime?"

"Hahaha." Akina laughed and bumped her head against her husband's. "I mean relatives and friends, Tsuruko, or Otomo-san and the others."

"Tsuruko, should she be shopping? Tokyo's young people's nightlife has just begun."

Tsuruko, who was shopping with her boyfriend, suddenly sneezed.
"Otomo-san should be drinking at the club~"

Fangcun Dayou, who was drinking with his drinking buddies, choked.
"Shouichi-san, should you help your daughter with her homework at home?"

Idou Shuichi looked at the answers on the test paper and felt a little helpless. His daughter seemed to be a poor student! But she was still a good daughter!
"Brother Feng, should we be accompanying the baby in the confinement center now?"

Yongshan Feng looked at his wife's bulging belly and was worried about when the baby would be born.
"Yuta-san should be communicating with the Americans. It's just dawn over there." Nagayama Naoki looked at Akina, "Akina, what do you think everyone is doing?"

"Mom should be asleep by now."

Mingcai first thought of her mother, who went to bed early and got up early as she got older.

"Yukiko-chan and Kyoko-chan, they should still be on the announcement list."

Artists are all like this!
"My eldest brother, second brother and sister should all be at home watching TV. Minghui may be in the store."

The flower shop run by Akiho Nakamori is doing pretty well. She has to settle the accounts before closing the shop every day and also take good care of the flowers.

“Everyone is living a good life!”

"Yeah, we are enjoying life! It's like a vacation~"

".Um."

Akina nodded and was silent for a while. Suddenly she drank the remaining drink and looked at Naoki Nagayama with shining eyes:
"Naoki-san, everyone else is busy, it's not good for us to just sit there doing nothing!"

"??"

Naoki Nagayama was still a little confused when he was dragged upstairs by Akina and into the bedroom.
"We should enjoy our vacation well! While Xia Hua is away, we should enjoy our time together!"

".this."

(No words all night~)
