Chapter 107 I Must See You

In the evening, Kazuki Akiyama and Yoko Nagayama sat opposite each other in a box of a high-end restaurant in Roppongi.

Yoko Nagayama looked at Kazuki Akiyama hesitating to speak, with a hint of guilt and hesitation in his expression, and his eyes that had no place to rest lost the luster that was full of water in the past.

But Akiyama Kazuki didn't realize it, he picked up the jug and filled it for her and himself.

"Nagayama-san, congratulations. Nagayama-san, wearing a kimono on stage and playing the shamisen, has become a symbol of enka."

Since Yoko Nagayama transformed into an enka singer, her development on the road of enka seems to have entered the fast lane.

The few enka singles released from the second half of last year to the present have almost sold well for the first time, and each of them can be ranked on the weekly list of ORICON singles.

This can be said to be very rare in the 90s when enka gradually declined. For a while, Yoko Nagayama seemed to have become a new representative figure in the enka world.

And this can be regarded as completely fulfilling her original singing dream, so Kazuki Akiyama is really happy for her.

Facing Kazuki Akiyama's clear eyes with a slight smile on her, she suddenly relaxed from her nervousness.

She stretched out her fair and slender hands, picked up the small blue wine glass, and gently touched him.The clear greenish liquor moistened the red lips and flowed into the mouth again, the traces of warmth extending from top to bottom.

"Akiyama-kun, I also congratulate you on breaking through your first million-dollar single." After drinking a glass of wine, Yoko Nagayama seemed to have regained her former look, her pair of autumn eyes were indescribably charming.

"Although I have heard many similar congratulations, Changshan-san still couldn't help but feel happy when he said this."

Akiyama Kazuki sat there very casually, propped up on one leg, with one arm resting on his knee, and the other hand holding the wine glass.He is not very used to sitting on his knees until now, so he simply sat on the floor according to the habit of his previous life.

Yoko Nagayama saw his casual side in front of her, and he didn't look upright on TV at all.But I don't know why, but my heart is more and more relaxed and happy.

Putting down the wine glass, Yoko Nagayama picked up a piece of salmon sashimi with chopsticks and dipped it in the dipping sauce, "Akiyama-kun, try the sashimi here, it's very tender and delicious." He said and put it in the bowl in front of Kazuki Akiyama.

Seeing the sashimi she picked up, Kazuki Akiyama was stunned for a moment, but he picked up the chopsticks and put it in his mouth.

"It's really delicious, a rare delicacy." After living here for so long, he rarely tries raw food like sashimi.

More or less still carrying some eating habits from the previous life, this may be the last stubbornness from the Chinese soul.

"Does Nagayama-san like sashimi?"

"My father liked this kind of cuisine very much when I was young, and I gradually began to like this kind of taste under his influence."

The two chatted about the trivial things around them recently, and before they knew it, the pot of wine had already bottomed out.

"Akiyama-kun, those reports from the outside world..." Yoko Nagayama looked at him with drunken eyes, and said hesitantly.

"It's over, Nagasan-san, please rest assured, no irreparable damage has been caused, and no shadow has been left behind." Before she could finish speaking, Akiyama Kazuki had already joked with a smile.

"Yes, Mr. Qiushan is always so considerate." Yoko Changshan seemed to be talking to him, and seemed to be talking to himself.

Before Kazuki Akiyama could ask, she had already filled another glass of wine and drank it down in one gulp.

Seeing that she was about to pick up a new jug of wine, as if she wanted to fill it up again, Kazuki Akiyama reached out and gently pressed the jug, looking at her, "Nagayama-san?"

"Call me Yoko." Changshan Yoko raised his eyes and stared at him closely, without blinking.

Facing her stubborn gaze, Akiyama Kazuki subconsciously wanted to look away, but still met her gaze and said softly, "Yoko, you've had enough."

Yoko Nagayama, who was staring at him, suddenly laughed, slapped off his hand holding the hip flask, and poured another glass for herself.

"Qiu Shan-jun, do you know that at this moment, I really hope that you can scold me loudly and get angry with me once.

The more gentle you are, the more you never mention the past, the more guilty I feel.

It wasn’t until today that I overheard the conversation between manager Sang and president Oda-san that I realized that they suggested to BURNING to poach you from BEING.

Only then did the following things happen, and the person who first introduced you to them and praised you was me, Qiushan Jun. "

Yoko Nagayama looked at him with tears in his eyes, and his voice sounded like remorse and confession.The moment she knew the truth, her mind went blank for a moment, and she thought about the overwhelming doubts and slanders against him by the media in those days.

She couldn't even imagine how he, who has always been gentle and gentle, would face him, and all this might be brought to him because of herself. At that moment, her heart almost collapsed, and it was her heart to see him no matter what. only thought.

"Yoko, you didn't do anything wrong, the reason why I didn't mention it has nothing to do with what you said, and it has nothing to do with whether you are a BURNING artist or not.

I just don't want to get involved in the relationship of interests, and I don't want to be strangers because of the firm behind me.

What I want to see is still the girl who is eager to try enka with the microphone, or the Yoko Nagayama who can dismiss me as a countryman without any scruples.

I cherish every friend around me, please let go of the self-blame in your heart, that carefree Yoko Nagayama is the most beautiful. "

Kazuki Akiyama Ever since Yoshitaka Watanabe joined AKKA, when Yoshitaka Watanabe was sorting out his personal connections, he was keenly aware that the firm behind Yoko Nagayama was not simple.

It was far from being an unknown third-rate small firm as it appeared on the surface, and sure enough, after a little research, BURNING was pulled out from behind.

It's no wonder that when she became an enka singer, so many enka seniors escorted her, and even enka like Kitajima Saburo treated her very affectionately.

Apart from liking her singing talent, I'm afraid the BURNING faction behind her is also an important reason.

Although he understood this, Kazuki Akiyama didn't want to look at Yoko Nagayama differently because of this reason.I have known her for such a long time, and I still know what kind of character she is.

But unexpectedly, the scene in front of her still appeared. Kazuki Akiyama looked at her quietly, silently comforting her agitated emotions.

Yoko Nagayama looked into his eyes blankly, pursed her lips, then stretched out her hand and gently held the hand he put on the table.Such a suddenness made Akiyama Kazuki subconsciously tense for a moment.

Yoko Nagayama gradually approached, and the distance between the two became smaller and smaller.Finally, Yoko Nagayama's soft red lips took the initiative to stick to his lips.

A burst of fragrance lingered at the tip of his nose for an instant, and then melted in his mouth.The warm and softness made him a little confused whether it was a dream or reality, until a warm and trembling body leaned against his arms, which woke him up.

"Yoko"

"Don't talk, and please don't refuse, just let me rely on it for a while."
