Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 1514 1515. A Life

Shinichi Iwahashi finally talked to Ayumi Hamasaki about responsibility.

When he started talking about the responsibilities of adults, Ayumi Hamasaki realized that this was very different from what she had always imagined. Since going to Beijing, all her willfulness, or painful entanglements, were actually built on this dislocation, like a twisted flower growing in a crack.

Shinichi Iwahashi personally admitted that he was responsible for her, but what he brought to the girl was not comfort, but the fact that was ruthlessly revealed.

The girl's heart was shaky, but because of this, she miraculously calmed down.

"I haven't asked you yet, did you have fun at the disco?"

Ayumi Hamasaki just looked at Shinichi Iwahashi, and heard him add with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm not making fun of you."

"…It's because I said that that it sounded like I was being sarcastic." Ayumi Hamasaki argued quietly, but finally answered honestly, "I can't say. I was happy when I was playing. But when I realized I was escaping, I couldn't be happy anymore."

"Escape from what?"

"You shouldn't ask me that."

Iwahashi Shinichi smiled, "Then ask something else."

"what?"

"For example, what do you think about singing now? Or, it doesn't necessarily have to be singing, you can act, or you can do anything else."

Ayumi Hamasaki suddenly asked back: "Do you remember asking me to sing?" Without waiting for an answer, she said: "You shouldn't have done this to me." She felt very aggrieved, "You were the one who asked me if I wanted to sing, but then you didn't care about anything."

Shinichi Iwahashi was stunned when he heard the girl's confession.

This child, although she said words that blamed him, revealed her true feelings without reservation. She was waiting for Iwahashi Shinichi to ask her again whether she wanted to sing, so that she could give the answer that she thought Iwahashi Shinichi wanted.

"Of course I remember. But it is always you who decides whether to sing or not." Shinichi Iwahashi calmly placed the ball gently in Ayumi Hamasaki's hands, letting her decide where to throw it.

On the way here, the girl said in a clear and logical way, "Children are happy because they can make their own decisions, but women are unhappy because they have to make their own decisions." The words she spoke to Shin Iwahashi without restraint could all be the answers to the various questions in her mind. This girl has always been fighting with herself.

"If I become a singer, will Iwahashi-san be my producer?"

It seemed that this was the first time that Ayumi Hamasaki hypothesized about becoming a singer in front of Shinichi Iwahashi.

"I will definitely not ignore your affairs."

“What if you’re not the right producer for me?”

Ayumi Hamasaki suddenly said something that even made her heart beat faster, as if she had made a blasphemous assumption.

Iwahashi Shinichi was not unhappy. Instead, he answered her with great interest: "The result will be revealed when you start preparing for your debut."

“I want to sing for you, but I don’t want you to know what I’m thinking when I sing.”

After Ayumi Hamasaki said this witty remark, her cheeks turned red without any expression. However, Shinichi Iwahashi did not take it to heart.

After finishing their meal, the two were ready to go back. Iwahashi Shinichi was worried and asked Ayumi Hamasaki, "I wonder if Akina and Hikaru have gone back yet."

"Iwahashi-san always worries about all kinds of things."

Iwahashi Shinichi smiled, "Next time, you can go visit Chieko-san too. Chieko-san is really good at making fried hamburgers."

Ayumi Hamasaki thought for a moment, "My grandmother is also good at cooking, but my mother is not at all. I don't like things in the kitchen..."

Iwahashi Shinichi said, "You should go back to Fukuoka during the summer vacation."

Ayumi Hamasaki asked Utada Hikaru: "Will Hikaru continue to stay at your house during the summer vacation?"

"It depends on whether Xiaoguang's parents will return home during the summer vacation." "How strange."

Ayumi Hamasaki muttered: "Xiaoguang's father left her here like this and went out traveling with Xiaoguang's mother. My father..." She had no impression of her father at all.

It just suddenly occurred to me that I was also a child left behind by my father. The only difference was that Xiaoguang's father didn't know when he would come back, but he would definitely come back, while I didn't know if my father would come back one day, and during the years of growing up, I even hoped that he would not come back.

When her father is not present, she can only have his shadow in her imagination.

Iwahashi Shinichi said: "You are different from Xiaoguang."

After hearing this, Ayumi Hamasaki unexpectedly did not ask Shinichi Iwahashi "why".

……

When they got home, it was Utada Hikaru and Kenta who came to greet them at the entrance. Iwahashi Shinichi asked her, "Where's Akina?"

Utada Hikaru pointed upstairs with a mysterious expression on her face, which confused Shinichi Iwahashi. He left the two girls at the entrance and went upstairs to find out what was going on.

The two girls who were left behind stared at each other. Ayumi Hamasaki asked, "What happened?"

Utada Hikaru shook his head: "I don't know."

Ayumi Hamasaki's expression showed that she didn't believe it. But Hikaru Utada didn't lie, "Akina-san didn't come down after she went upstairs."

"..."

Ayumi Hamasaki was speechless. If that was the case, why would she be so mysterious?

Iwahashi Shinichi went upstairs. Hikaru Utada was acting mysterious, which made him wonder if something had happened today. He stood at the door of the bedroom, said "I'm coming in", and opened the door.

Akina Nakamori was lying on the bed with her back to the door, unresponsive. Shinichi Iwahashi approached and found that she was asleep.

This Akina Nakamori looked particularly innocent when she was asleep. Shinichi Iwahashi saw her sleeping face and couldn't help but feel love for her. He looked at her for a while, and finally couldn't help himself, stretched out his fingers and gently moved her eyelashes.

Akina Nakamori moved her eyelids.

She was not in the right state of mind. She opened her eyes and saw that it was Shinichi Iwahashi. She relaxed and closed her eyes again. After a pause, she opened her eyes again.

Iwahashi Shinichi looked amused and asked, "Are you confused by sleep?"

Akina Nakamori let out a sticky "hmm" and slept lazily.

After dinner, she couldn't wait to say goodbye to Chieko and wait for Iwahashi Shinichi. As she waited, she fell asleep. It was fine when she didn't think about it, but when she thought about it, she realized that she was tired easily recently. She wanted to take a nap, but she fell asleep without realizing it.

Her thoughts slowly came back to her mind, and she had a lot to say, but Iwahashi Shinichi just looked at her half asleep and found it funny.

Seeing that her husband was not in good shape, Akina Nakamori pouted her lips and held Shinichi Iwahashi's hand.

“It’s so cold.”

Iwahashi Shinichi held her hand in his.

This time, it was Akina Nakamori who looked at her husband with a smile. Shinichi Iwahashi was confused and a little overwhelmed by such a gaze. There was only one thing he was sure of: Akina Nakamori had something to say.

"what?"

He simply lowered his head and put his ear close to his wife's mouth.

Akina Nakamori was about to say what had been churning in her chest all night, but when the words reached her lips, her nose felt sore.
