"The noodles are ready! It's ready to eat!"
After Cao Zhiqiang brought out a bowl of boiled ramen, he first put the noodles on the dining table, and then said to Akina Nakamori: "Come on, Miss Nakamori, come over and eat some noodles. There is something in your stomach, which will make you feel better."
After hearing this, Nakamori Akina, who was half lying on the sofa with a wet towel covering her forehead, took off the towel, sat up and looked at the steaming bowl of ramen on the dining table, and then looked at the smiling face standing aside. Cao Zhiqiang looked at her.
Suddenly, Nakamori Akina's eyes became moist. A very special, even a bit blocked emotion arose spontaneously, and her tears couldn't stop flowing down.
Seeing that Akina Nakamori suddenly started crying, Cao Zhiqiang was startled. He quickly walked over and squatted down and said, "What's wrong, Miss Nakamori, why are you crying? Do you feel sick to your stomach? Do I need to take you to the hospital?"
Nakamori Akina casually wiped her tears and shook her head: "No, I'm fine."
Cao Zhiqiang frowned and said, "Is it really okay? Don't hold on!"
"It's okay." Akina Nakamori picked up a towel and wiped her tears, then smiled at Cao Zhiqiang, "I'm just, just, hungry."
Speaking of this, Nakamori Akina smiled again, and then quickly stood up from the sofa.
But as soon as she stood up and didn't take two steps, she staggered, and she was obviously still drunk.
Fortunately, Cao Zhiqiang, who stood up, was beside her and held one of her arms: "Be careful, Miss Zhongmori."
"Thank you." Nakamori Akina smiled slightly at Cao Zhiqiang, "Also, don't call me Miss Nakamori, you are older than me, just call me Akina."
"This..." Cao Zhiqiang frowned instinctively, "Isn't this inappropriate?"
"There are so many inappropriate things." Akina Nakamori said, "This is my home, not outside, that's all!"
Speaking of this, Akina Nakamori slowly walked to the dining table and sat down, looking at the steaming ramen with a fried candied egg on top, and clasped her hands together: "Wow, it looks delicious. "
Cao Zhiqiang came over with a smile and said: "Sorry, there are only eggs, milk and noodles in the refrigerator. There are no other ingredients. I can only cook a bowl of soy sauce noodles. I added an egg for you by the way. You can try it to see if it tastes good."
Nakamori Akina smiled and picked up the chopsticks, raised her head and nodded to Cao Zhiqiang: "Then I'm welcome!"
After saying that, Akina Nakamori started to eat noodles with her head down.
After taking two bites, Nakamori Akina immediately nodded to Cao Zhiqiang and gave a thumbs up with his left hand: "First-rate, delicious!"
Cao Zhiqiang smiled: "Then you eat slowly and I'll make you some tea."
After saying that, Cao Zhiqiang returned to the kitchen, first took out a bag of tea and put it into a porcelain cup. Then he picked up the kettle that had boiled water and started pouring hot water into the porcelain cup.
Well, in Japan at this time, due to the economic boom, bagged tea has indeed become popular, especially among young people who like convenience.
Nakamori Akina dare not say that in the future, at least for now, she still doesn't seem to like complicated cooking or complicated tea making. This can be seen from the fact that most of her ingredients are instant noodles and bagged tea.
Yes, Cao Zhiqiang had searched in the kitchen before. Except for bagged tea and instant coffee, there was no loose tea here.
Considering that it was already night and drinking coffee would hurt my stomach even if I couldn’t sleep, I simply made some bagged tea.
This bagged tea is oolong tea, which is fine if you drink it at night.
When Cao Zhiqiang came over with the brewed oolong tea, he found that Nakamori Akina had already eaten half of the noodles, and she was slurping the noodles, obviously loving it.
After smiling slightly, Cao Zhiqiang put the two cups of tea aside, then sat across from her, picked up the chopsticks, picked up the bowl, and ate his share of noodles.
Just like that, the two of them didn't say a word, just sat opposite each other, slurping and eating the noodles, not eating the noodles in a low voice at all.
After a while, the two of them finished eating the noodles almost at the same time.
This is very simple. Although Akina Nakamori ate earlier, she obviously didn't eat the noodles as fast as Cao Zhiqiang. It was normal for her to finish them almost at the same time.
"Wow, it feels so comfortable!" Nakamori Akina, who had finished eating the noodles, leaned back in her chair and patted her belly gently, "It feels so comfortable!"
Cao Zhiqiang wiped his mouth with toilet paper and smiled slightly: "That's because you are hungry."
"It seems so." Nakamori Akina chuckled, "I feel much better now, how about we drink some more?"
"Forget it." Cao Zhiqiang said, "As for wine, just drink enough. Don't overdose."
Speaking of this, Cao Zhiqiang picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea. Then he looked at Akina Nakamori opposite who also picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea. He slightly squinted his eyes: "Ms. Nakamori..."
"Call me Akina!" Akina Nakamori put down her tea cup, "I've already said that in private, just call me Akina, otherwise, I won't be happy!"
Cao Zhiqiang nodded: "Mingcai, actually I have always been confused, why did you suddenly bring me to your house for a drink? Don't you know that I am an adult man? Don't you know that it is dangerous to do this? Don't say anything about my character. You are lying, what you did before was obviously wrong!"
Akina Nakamori was stunned for a moment, then smiled playfully: "Since you know something is wrong, why do you still agree to come with me? Hehe, you have something in mind, right?"
Cao Zhiqiang was stunned for a moment, then shrugged: "You, a star and beautiful girl, suddenly invited me to your house for dinner and drinks. As a foreign man who is short of money, of course I am happy to do so. It is certainly a good thing to have free meals, but... …”
"But what?" Akina Nakamori put her chin in her hand and looked at Cao Zhiqiang.
Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly: "Actually, I was suspicious of your motives at the time. After all, the way you suddenly invited me to your house for dinner was too obvious, so I didn't refuse. I just came with you to see what you were going to do.
It's a pity that you started to drag me to drink as soon as you arrived, and the more you drank, the more you drank. I was afraid of something happening, so I forcibly stopped.
In addition, I noticed that you seemed a little absent-minded. I’m afraid you didn’t really want to invite me to your house for a drink?
Let me guess, someone forced you to do this, right? "
Akina Nakamori was stunned, lowered her head and smiled self-deprecatingly: "Is it so obvious? Is my acting skills so bad?"
Cao Zhiqiang touched his chin: "Well, my acting skills are a bit lacking."
Speaking of this, Cao Zhiqiang's face straightened, he stared at Nakamori Akina and said: "So, someone forced you to invite me to your house for a drink? You don't want you to get me drunk and force you to have sex with me, right?" "
Upon hearing this, Nakamori Akina immediately raised her head, puffed up her cheeks and glared at Cao Zhiqiang, expressing her dissatisfaction, then lowered her head again, holding the handle of the porcelain cup with one hand, and gently touching the edge of the porcelain cup with the other:
"Okay, I admit, someone did ask me to entertain you well, but, no one forced me to get you drunk, and no one forced me to have sex with you. None of those things, don't think too much about it."
"Why is that?" Cao Zhiqiang frowned.
"No, there's no reason." Akina Nakamori lowered her head, not daring to look into Cao Zhiqiang's eyes.
Cao Zhiqiang shook his head and said seriously: "Mingcai, can you tell me, OK, why did you suddenly stop me tonight and invite me to your house for a drink?
You know, in most cases, when a girl invites a boy to her house for a drink at night, it is obviously a tacit admission that she wants to have a relationship with him, and it is also a tacit invitation to sleep with him. It has nothing to do with seducing someone. the difference.
Even though you are still young, you have been working for more than two years and are still an artist. I don’t believe you don’t know the meaning of this.
So I'm wondering, what's your motive for suddenly inviting me to your house for a drink so late at night?
In addition, your behavior was not quite right after you invited me to your home.
Generally speaking, people eat first and drink while eating.
But after you brought me to your house, you hurriedly started drinking with me, and you felt like you were drinking even more fiercely, as if you wanted to get yourself drunk.
This situation is a bit like breaking the pot, and it seems like being forced.
To be honest, if I hadn't been curious about what you were going to do, I wouldn't have come here with you tonight.
Originally I thought you were forced, but now you say no, I'm surprised.
So, can you tell me the truth now? What on earth do you think?
If someone didn't force you, then what happened to you tonight?
Are you trying to seduce me? "
Nakamori Akina lowered her head and bit her lip without saying a word, obviously feeling guilty.
Seeing Akina Nakamori like this, Cao Zhiqiang, who had been waiting for a while, shook his head: "Forget it, just don't say it if you don't want to. It's very late, I should go back, you have a good rest."
After saying that, Cao Zhiqiang was ready to get up and leave.
Just when Cao Zhiqiang came to the entrance and was about to put on his shoes and leave, Akina Nakamori, who had been sitting with her head bowed, suddenly raised her head and stood up: "Don't, don't go!"
After saying this, Akina Nakamori quickly left her seat, quickly ran to Cao Zhiqiang, and hugged Cao Zhiqiang from behind without saying a word: "Don't go, no!"
Cao Zhiqiang, who was suddenly hugged from behind by Akina Nakamori, was stunned and immediately said without moving: "Akina, what are you doing?"
"Don't go, don't go!" Akina Nakamori put her face on Cao Zhiqiang's back and hugged Cao Zhiqiang's waist tightly, "Don't go! Just stay here tonight and stay with me, okay?"
Cao Zhiqiang frowned and said, "Akina, what happened? Who forced you to do this? Section Chief Tomioka? Or President Yamamoto?"
"No, not at all." Akina Nakamori, who was still holding Cao Zhiqiang from behind, said, "No one forced me, it was me, I wanted to do this myself."
"Why?"
"Because, because I like you!"
"Nani?" Cao Zhiqiang was stunned, "You like me? When did it happen?"
After saying that, Cao Zhiqiang turned around.
"Don't turn around!" Nakamori Akina, who was holding Cao Zhiqiang's back from behind, said quickly, "No, I, I'm afraid that if you turn around, I won't be able to say anything."
After Cao Zhiqiang stopped moving, Nakamori Akina took a deep breath and said: "I, actually the first time we met that day was when I met you with Toko and I had a good impression of you.
But at that time, I just thought you were good-looking and polite. You were my type. You also sang well. Besides, I was a little curious about your Chinese identity.
Yes, at that time, I just had a slight liking for you, but not to the point of liking you.
Then, Section Chief Tomioka came to me this morning and said that I am your idol, and also an important customer and partner of the company. I hope I can entertain you well, familiarize you with the company, and preferably make you have a good impression of the company. Able to agree to sign a long-term contract with the company.
At that time, I, I was more curious about you, but that was all.
Next, after actually meeting you, I found that you are a very good person.
Well, how should I put it, being with you in private, I feel very comfortable, at ease, and unburdened. That feeling is something I have never experienced before.
Then, when I worked with you, I discovered that you are very talented, at least much better than me, and you also have a lot of ideas, and the story you came up with is also very good.
I, I don’t know why, anyway, unconsciously, I don’t want to leave you less and less.
In fact, after the short film was finished, I wanted to find you to join us, but you were always with your friends and I couldn't get in.
Well, I don't know what's wrong with me. Anyway, after I couldn't see you, I felt in a trance, restless, and always felt that everything was wrong, and all kinds of uneasiness.
Until I saw your back, I didn't know why, but I felt much better all of a sudden. All the trances and uneasiness I had before were gone.
I found out that you were leaving, I, I stopped you in a daze. I heard that you were going back alone, I, I don’t know why, my heart immediately beat very fast, and I subconsciously felt that this was an opportunity, and subconsciously I I invited you to dinner, and even subconsciously asked you to come to my house for a drink.
I, I also thought about what would happen with this kind of invitation.
But, I am not afraid at all. On the contrary, I am still vaguely looking forward to it.
But, it was my first time and I had no experience with this kind of thing, so I thought of drinking.
Actually, I don’t usually drink.
The wine at home was bought when my parents came here to see me last time. It was bought for them to drink.
I, I just think, think, if I drink, if I'm drunk, maybe, maybe I won't be so embarrassed, and then I won't be so shy when I do that kind of thing with you. "
Speaking of this, Nakamori Akina let go of the hand holding Cao Zhiqiang, covered her face with her hands and squatted down: "Ah, I must be crazy, really crazy, how could I do such a thing?"
Hearing this, Cao Zhiqiang slowly turned around and looked at Akina Nakamori who was squatting on the ground covering her face and crying, and was speechless for a while.
Well, luckily Cao Zhiqiang had thought a lot before and thought this was a honey trap used by Warner Pioneer President Tokumoto Yamamoto. For the sake of the Chinese market and to capture Cao Zhiqiang, he forced Akina Nakamori to entertain him.
Well, I don’t blame Cao Zhiqiang for thinking so. He actually thinks that this kind of "special bribery" should be very common in Japan.
After all, others don't know it, but Yamamoto Tokuhara should know the value of Cao Zhiqiang.
After all, let’s not talk about Cao Zhiqiang’s songwriting and singing abilities. Let’s just say that Cao Zhiqiang is the general manager of a Chinese record company. This is a huge cake in itself.
Japan's record market is indeed the second largest market in the world, but the competition here is also fierce. Various record companies are emerging one after another, and the competition among artists is also fierce.
On the contrary, although the Chinese market may not seem large, it is indeed an undeveloped virgin land, and with a large population base, there is no doubt about its future development potential.
If we can cooperate with a mainland record company controlled by Cao Zhiqiang, it will be beneficial to both parties.
So in order to make money, it should be nothing to sacrifice a young star Akina Nakamori who has just become famous.
Yes, although Akina Nakamori has won many awards at this time and has also sung songs that ranked number one on the Oricon weekly charts, in terms of influence, she is actually just a fledgling, completely different from her later success. .
This can be seen from her income, which is not as rich as she was later.
Akina Nakamori began to soar to the sky. It was after 1985, but in 1983, she was not that famous.
In other words, Cao Zhiqiang did have reason to suspect that Akina Nakamori was forced to do so, so she suddenly asked him to go to her house late at night.
But looking at Akina Nakamori's appearance now, it's obviously not the case.
Isn't it?
Previously, Kyoko Koizumi suddenly came to ask for a date.
Now there is another Akina Nakamori who suddenly asked me to book a room.
Am I really not dreaming?
Is my charm really that high?
Can these goddess-level figures really take the initiative to attack me, or even throw themselves into my arms?
Is this really reality?
