National Tide 1980.

Chapter 936
A bumblebee was flying endlessly outside the window, buzzing, as if courting a mate.

Keiko Matsumoto approached the window quietly, and she carefully opened the curtains a little, and the humming stopped.

But when she moved away from the window, the buzzing started again.

When she approached again, he fell silent again.

The wasp seemed to be teasing her.

However, Keiko Matsumoto didn't feel that it was noisy, and it seemed that she was screaming in her heart.

Simply ignoring it, she went back to the dressing table, combed her hair again, and admired her new hairstyle.

Before he knew it, the sound outside the window stopped, and the wasp flew to nowhere.

Yes, it's like a potluck on January 1th.

It looks really bad, but as long as you ignore it and don't take it to heart, it will pass.

That day, Takahara Miwa's fiber mediator was like a rotten rag, stuck in Matsumoto Keiko's heart for a long time.

Until the evening, she failed to regain her good mood.

However, around ten o'clock that night, her pager received a digital message from Ning Weimin - 14106.

Then she thought of the wonderful trip that was coming, and how happy the two of them would be together soon.

In this way, the tightness in the chest disappeared and gradually became more comfortable.

Waiting until the next day to wake up, in order to cut off troubles, but also to refresh my mood.

She even arranged the affairs of the office early, and went to Harajuku to get her hair done in the afternoon.

The result is a bold breakthrough with the new hairstyle.

In front of the mirror, she has changed from the long curly hair she has been accustomed to for many years to a relatively simple medium-length hair.

This black and straight hair is completely another fresh feeling.

Not only does it make her more fresh and natural, but her melon-seeded face also looks cute and delicate.

Compared with the flashy and utilitarian atmosphere of the showbiz, this hair style looks simple and simple
But it seemed to make her look younger all of a sudden.

Matsumoto Keiko put on a gray silk shirt with bare legs in front of the mirror, and then tied the Lyon silk scarf that Ning Weimin gave her.

After that, she looked at the vanity mirror and began to take the trouble to compare again and again.

Tilt your head to take a picture, raise your face to take a picture, turn your face to take a picture, hold your face in your hand to take a picture, get close to take a picture, and take a distance to take a picture...

Just looking at it like this, the woman in the mirror suddenly became quiet, and Guazi showed a slight smile on her face, a kind of smile expecting a man to hug her tightly.

This smile is for today, for the person who is waiting for her.

It has to be said that Keiko Matsumoto's thoughts were not in vain.

Because when she drove a Toyota Crown to Akasaka to pick up Ning Weimin according to the agreed time.

It really caused Ning Weimin who was waiting downstairs by the road to be surprised and dumbfounded.

In fact, Ning Weimin didn't even have time to say hello. He was dazzled by Matsumoto Keiko who opened the car door and walked out after just meeting each other.

In Ning Weimin's vision, the Matsumoto Keiko in front of him is a new image completely different from the memory in his mind.

The black, straight, mid-length hair was combed casually behind the ears. Although the hairstyle was unassuming, it was still a bit neutral.

But with brown sunglasses, it looks cool, quite capable and attractive.

Especially on the forehead, there was a strand of hair freely scattered, lightly touching her face, setting off the white skin.

It makes her look feminine without losing her charm, which is very touching.

The clothes are also surprising.

A mid-length leather jacket in the form of a safari suit, and the watch is a Cartier men's watch of the same style as his.

Compared with her slender wrist, it looks very exaggerated.

But the gray jeans and black leather boots fully revealed her figure advantages.

Especially the romantic Lyon silk scarf tied around the neck, not only makes the two people emotionally connected, but also looks casual and elegant.

If this was a beauty pageant, he would give it full marks.

The point is, he didn't expect that Keiko Matsumoto would transform into another fashion beauty in just two days.

You know, for the past two days, they have kept talking on the phone at least twice a day, and Matsumoto Keiko didn't disclose any news.

"What's wrong? Looking at me like that?" Matsumoto Keiko asked knowingly.

"Your hairstyle is good. The change surprises me." Ning Weimin praised from the bottom of his heart.

"Do you really like it?"

"I like it. I like it very much."

"Okay, put the box in the back, let's go now..."

Matsumoto Keiko, who was so flattered by the praise, didn't worry about the failure of the new look at all, and happily opened the trunk for Ning Weimin.

In this way, the suitcases of the two of them were placed head to head and shoulder to shoulder.

In the trunk, it looks like a couple sharing the same bed.

…………

When I actually drove on the road, because I had already avoided the morning rush hour, there were no pedestrians like a wave.

However, Tokyo, a place where every inch of land is expensive, has gathered one-tenth of the population of Japan after all.

The city is full of towering buildings, the traffic on the road is still busy, and there will inevitably be traffic jams on the way out of the city.

Only after passing through the maze-like urban tunnels and getting on the expressway, the traffic flow decreases suddenly, and the speed of the vehicle can be increased

In addition, the speed limit on Japanese expressways is also very severe.

In this era, the four highways can only drive up to [-] miles, so in fact, the driving speed can't be faster.

For Ning Weimin, it would be better for him to drive on the Second Ring Road in Beijing.

But the good thing is that the weather is really nice.

The sky was unusually blue, bright and clear, and there was not a breath of wind.

Although it is winter, sitting in the car does not feel cold at all. Instead, it is warmed by the sun and a little bit hot.

This rare good weather seems to be a good sign.

It can be said that it can be regarded as a special gift from God in order to make a happy tryst between men and women in the world.

The two people in the car are undoubtedly excited and excited, and they are also very well-matched.

Ning Weimin coincidentally wore a leather jacket with jeans today, which obviously should be attributed to a tacit understanding.

In addition, the watches on the wrists of the two are exactly the same, which also reveals the signal of a couple who is envious of others.

Although this is a luxury watch, the total value is 240 million yen.

But for this kind of satisfaction like first love, for this special sentiment, Matsumoto Keiko can spare no expense.

In short, after driving out of the city, they drove west all the way, and after bypassing the winding mountain road, there were pine forests along the way.

Sitting next to each other, the two felt the long-lost happiness of satisfaction.

So much so that no matter how beautiful the scenery along the way is, it is not very important to them.

Because the most beautiful scenery in this world is the love between two lovers.

The scenery in a man's heart is a woman, and the scenery in a woman's heart is a man.

In their eyes, apart from each other, other scenery flashed in front of their eyes, which was just embellishment.

While everything along the way is doing everything in its power to lure them and please them.

But there is only one result, which is to be forgotten and ignored.

In turn, the two of them grew closer in the car.

Both physically and mentally.

Whether silent, or chatting, whether laughing, or distracted.

Of course, it's not a problem to chat like this all the time, and they will inevitably get tired and bored when the car is halfway through.

So, like all people who travel by car, it is inevitable to think of music to refresh themselves.

"Want to listen to music?"

Seeing that Ning Weimin looked drowsy, Matsumoto Keiko took the initiative to propose.

"Okay." He really regained his energy.

"Listen to what?"

"Your song, "Flowers in the Water of Love". It's in your storage box."

"No, let's turn on the radio..."

Matsumoto Keiko is self-aware, and her voice is not very good.

There is only one music album out, it's purely for fun.

It was also because of the popularity of the TV series "Flowers in the Water" starring in that year that he was able to publish a personal music album featuring the theme song of the same name.

Although they have been developing in music since 1979, there are only a few famous singles.

Since three years ago, I haven't sung any outstanding works.

So she sang only a few old songs, and she was far less confident in singing than in acting.

It's okay to perform in front of an audience.Isn't it just to show up from time to time, so as not to be forgotten.

But let her lover listen to these songs of hers... She really blushed a little.

Although she also knew that Ning Weimin had already bought her album, she often listened to it by herself, and she was actually quite happy in her heart.

But if she played it face to face, she would still be embarrassed.

Unexpectedly, when she was about to turn on the radio, Ning Weimin was unwilling.

Not only did he reach out to stop her, but he made even higher demands.

"What's the point of the radio. Qingzi, why don't you give me a live version of the singing?"

"Ah?" Matsumoto Keiko was taken aback, this is even more impossible.

"No no, without a band, I can sing out of tune."

Ning Weimin persevered and continued to plead.

"Don't say that, you can just sing casually. It's just me listening, what's the matter?"

Matsumoto Keiko still shirks.

"Don't say that, you can just sing casually. It's just me listening, what's the matter?"

"But I really want to hear it, just a few words. I haven't heard you sing a song yourself. Don't disappoint. Don't you have the heart to refuse my little request?"

Ning Weimin started to play the bitterness card, but Matsumoto Keiko really couldn't catch it.

When she couldn't bear it, she showed a hesitant look.

As a result, Ning Weimin, who is good at observing words and expressions, immediately seized this moment and spoke while the iron was hot.

"Is this good? To be fair, if you sing to me, I will sing to you too."

"Huh? Will you sing to me? That would be great!"

Matsumoto Keiko said happily that this condition made her unable to be indifferent.

She had never heard Ning Weimin sing before, so she was indeed curious.

"Well, the premise is that you sing to me first. You are a professional singer who sings at the Red and White Song Concert, so you won't be afraid that you won't be able to sing as well as me, will you?"

Just like that, half-push, half-joke, Matsumoto Keiko finally nodded.

"Okay then. I'll sing any song I want. Please forgive me if I don't sing well."

Following Ning Weimin's encouraging eyes, Matsumoto Keiko held the steering wheel and started singing a cappella with her unique voice.

"The ice and snow melted, and I faced the neighboring northern sky, shouting out the dreams of the past, the people who have passed away and never returned, still passing my excited chest, at least I will start my own journey in the future. Ah! In Japan Is there someone waiting for me somewhere? Today is a good day to look for the sunset and travel..."

The song sung by Matsumoto Keiko is the original song "Good Day Departure" by Momoe Yamaguchi.

The lyrics contain not only winter, but also the content of travel, which can be said to be appropriate for the occasion.

Although Ning Weimin hadn't heard of it, he was able to blend into the scene smoothly, and couldn't help but lightly applauded to keep the beat.

Such an attitude fully expressed his appreciation and recognition, which naturally relieved Keiko Matsumoto's tension a lot.

What's more, she is a professional actor after all, once she really let go of her voice, her condition will get better and better.

In the end, the slightly stiff voice became round, and he sang the whole song without distraction.

The degree of completion is 100%, and the expressiveness can also be scored [-]%.

Not to mention that this is an exclusive version that only Ning Weimin can hear.

So after the song was sung, Ning Weimin spared no effort to praise him sincerely, and greatly appreciated it.

Just like that, Matsumoto Keiko relaxed with joy, and next, it was Ning Weimin's turn.

But what Matsumoto Keiko didn't expect was that Ning Weimin actually made an extra request before singing.

"Can I watch you sing?"

This made her stunned for a moment, her heart felt hot, and her face also became hot.

She suddenly wanted to reach out and touch her cheek, or to look in the mirror.

This feeling is very subtle, very exciting, very exciting, and indescribable.

how to say?

This is what she was expecting.

But when the time came, she couldn't help but want to run away.

If you really avoid it, you will regret it.

Like what?

Like a button on her neckline was undone and he was going to help her fasten it.

There was a strand of hair scattered around her ear, and he wanted to help her comb it.

Her bag dropped women's things, and he quickly picked it up to help her tidy it up.

Nothing could conceal her joy.

"Okay, let's see..." Keiko Matsumoto replied with a beating heart.

Just like that, under Ning Weimin's gaze, in a blend of embarrassment and joy. ,

She finally got her wish, and heard Ning Weimin open his voice and start singing for her.

"I can't forget the faces of the past. In the mist with flickering lights, the two of us hugged each other side by side, whispered and smiled knowingly. The days we spent together made you and me melt in happiness. When will you come back, my lovely, He Rijun will come again! He Rijun will come again..."

The song Ning Weimin sang is the Japanese version of Teresa Teng's "When Will You Come Again". During this period, Teresa Teng had already become famous in Japan.

Many Japanese izakayas and cafes will play Teresa Teng's songs, and Ning Weimin learned it by listening to it often.

It's just that the consequences of this song are unexpected.

It was precisely because Ning Weimin sang a song that the car stopped suddenly and approached the roadside parking area crookedly!

In fact, Ning Weimin hadn't sung a few lines before Keiko Matsumoto's face began to show a trace of uneasiness.

She was in a daze, her hands trembled suddenly, and then she hastily clenched the steering wheel.

She kept slowing down the speed of the car, staring absently at the empty asphalt road ahead.

The images of the past, 15 years ago, flashed and jumped indistinctly.

She still remembered that at that moment, he was also singing.

The singing voices of the distant him and the him in front of him are so similar that they belong to the same type.

They are both calm and masculine, with a little hoarseness.

But this kind of memory is extremely painful!

Her memory had already froze at that moment, and she dared not recall it again!

That's why she couldn't control herself and had to pull over in an emergency.

Keiko Matsumoto's body was weakly lying on the steering wheel, her head was lowered and buried in her arms.

Her hair fell down, covering her face.

Ning Weimin sat aside worriedly.

He silently looked at Matsumoto Keiko, hesitated for a long time before handing her a neatly folded handkerchief.

No need to say anything, no need to ask anything, he can guess that Keiko Matsumoto has something to hide and has left a trauma in his heart.

Once a traumatized woman lets go of her defenses, it is tantamount to giving herself completely to a man.

That being the case, his smartest thing to do is to accompany him quietly.

Don't speak hastily, trying to pry into Keiko Matsumoto's privacy, otherwise things will backfire.

All sounds are silent.

After several minutes, a car roared past them.

Fortunately, this is the case, otherwise the accident just now may have caused a major accident.

After a while, Ning Weimin's kindness was rewarded.

Keiko Matsumoto raised her head suddenly, turned to look at Ning Weimin, and said with some embarrassment, "I'm so sorry. You really sang like someone I used to know. Listening to me, I just...don't mind .”

"Don't say that, I should apologize." Ning Weimin said sincerely, and handed over the handkerchief again.

"You...do you think I'm crying?" Keiko Matsumoto returned to her usual smile.

"Oh... are you okay then?"

"it's nothing……"

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I won't sing anymore."

"That's not what it means. You sing very well, especially well. It's just because I didn't expect it... I'm ready."

Matsumoto Keiko smiled and added something.

"When I want to hear it, please sing it to me again..."

Then, she started the car again and was on the road again.

To say that it was different from just now, except that the atmosphere in the car was not as lively as before, the circles of her eyes were indeed red.
