...

In February, the cold wind blows so hard that people just want to hide inside their homes.

In the past, even big animals such as cows and horses would hide in livestock sheds during the winter, but now hard-working workers have to go out in the cold wind and work in the company shivering in the coldest weather of the year.

...

So, this means that humans are inferior to beasts~

"Sure enough, life is life when you don't have to go to work!"

Nagayama Naoki was under the heater of Yamazakura Garden, looking at the cold dry landscape in the yard through the glass partition, touching Yutaro and sighing,

"Yingtaro, you look like you don't even want to go out! In such a cold weather, it's most comfortable to stay at home~"

Mrs. Nonaka Mozato, who was busy in the kitchen, couldn't help rolling her eyes when she heard this... Having been with this family for almost a month, she gradually understood the true nature of the Nagayama couple.

Apart from being good-looking, talented and handsome, they are just two idiots!

If it were any other wealthy family, shouldn't they be thinking about their ambitions like opening up new tracks, occupying the market, and controlling the industry all day long? But Naoki Nagayama actually thinks about not going out to work!

The other, as a wealthy wife, did not think about spending her husband's money on shopping and partying with famous ladies to compete with each other. Instead, she stayed at home to raise her baby. She even recently opened a design studio at home and painted all day long.

I've been painting here and there...it looks like I'll do it myself in the future...

If you want to wear trendy new clothes, just go to a brand store in Shinjuku and buy them!

"It's true... I can't enjoy life even if I'm so rich..." Nonaka Moli complained in her heart, "If I were a rich wife, I would definitely buy all the clothes in the clothing store and wear them in one go.

One set is lost!"

At this moment, Akina came down from upstairs with a full belly.

Akina is five months pregnant, her belly has become more and more obvious, and she feels sleepy more often, but as long as she gets up, she doesn't want to lie down in bed.

No, when I walked down, I was still holding a sketchbook in my hand and wearing big black-rimmed glasses on my face... It was obvious that I was going to my newly established design studio in a while.

"Naoki-san...Good morning~" Akina greeted her husband energetically, and then petted the dog that came close to her, "Good morning, Yingtaro!"

"Why don't you sleep a little longer?" Naoki Nagayama asked, "There's nothing wrong..."

"I can't sleep...I don't know what's going on, the baby is kicking me..." Akina touched her belly, and the baby's fetal movements became more frequent. As a mother, she felt it most clearly.

"..."

Nagayama Naoki walked to Akina, bent down and leaned close to his belly, and said seriously to the baby inside:

"Good daughter, you have to be good, otherwise Akina's mother will spank you after you give birth!"

"..."

Nakamori Akina burst out laughing, stretched out her hand and patted Nagayama Naoki on the back,

"Naoki-san, what are you talking about? See if I don't hit you first..."

"Eh, eh? I'm helping Akina educate her children!" Naoki Nagayama smiled and dodged, "I really don't know the heart of a good person!"

"You...haven't even given birth to a child!"

"This is prenatal education!"

"..."

Early in the morning, the two young couples started a new day energetically like this. This made Nozaka Mori, who was serving breakfast, see it and couldn't help but shake his head again...

Sure enough, they are two idiots...

However, I am indeed very happy!

"Naoki-san, Akina-san...breakfast is ready~"

"Hi, come right away..." X2

........

Nagayama Naoki still maintains the habit of reading the newspaper while eating breakfast... There is no way, now there is no mobile phone to check, so he can only rely on this to prepare meals.

And there is news related to him in today's newspaper...

"The list of winners of the Film Academy Awards has been reported!" Naoki Nagayama said while looking at the movie version of the article, "And sure enough, as before, the Blue Ribbon and the Film Academy Awards were also announced at the same time..."

"A movie award?"

Akina came over to take a look, and sure enough, it was the one they judged when they were at the Red Fish Institute. They also lived in the Red Fish Institute for more than half a month, so Akina naturally knew the list of winners of the Film Academy Awards.

Now that I have looked at it, I see that the other two awards are actually very similar...

"Sure enough, Kurosawa Akira's "Ran" is the biggest winner!" Akina sighed, "Last year Naoki-san's films couldn't compete with Kurosawa Akira..."

"After all, he is the great director who made "Seven Samurai"!"

Naoki Nagayama has actually never met Akira Kurosawa... ah, he has, but the two of them have no friendship. He can only say that he knows that there is such a number one figure in the film industry.

One of them is a highly respected senior film master, and the other is a new upstart who has gained fame. Logically speaking, they should have admired each other... However, Naoki Nagayama rose too fast and too high, and Akira Kurosawa is getting older.

But his ambition has not diminished, and somehow he feels like a rival.

Nagayama Naoki's thoughts last year were mainly on the Palme d'Or in the first half of the year and the Tokyo Film Festival in the second half of the year. The director's films were mainly innovative, and naturally they were not as good as "Ran", which was carefully directed by Akira Kurosawa.

So Akira Kurosawa won almost half of the three major film awards this year...

"Aren't Naoki-san unwilling to give in?" Akina asked curiously.

"What's the point of being unwilling..." Nagayama Naoki said with a smile, "Can't anyone else besides me win the prize?!"

Naoki Nagayama has always been very liberal when it comes to the awarding of awards. After all, these films are actually the masterpieces of other future masters... He is just allowing them to be revealed to the world in advance.

"..."

Akina ate her breakfast in silence and stopped talking... She still felt that her husband should win all the awards.

Nagayama Naoki continued to flip through the newspaper, but when he saw a certain piece of news, he subconsciously stopped his hand - a new work by a famous artist, Teiki takes you to experience "Tokyo Love Story"...

"Is this..."Tokyo Love Story" on sale?" Nagayama Naoki was a little surprised, "Is it ahead of schedule?"

When Shogakukan communicated before, it was indeed said that it would be in the next few days, but why did it appear in the newspaper today?

"Naoki-san's new book is on sale!" Akina said in surprise, "That's great, I want to be one of the first readers to support it!"

"...Don't you already have it? It's a trial printing of the collector's edition..."

"No, going to the bookstore to buy it is the only way to support Naoki-san!"

"Using all our money to buy books, only 15% goes to me..." Naoki Nagayama complained, "Is this supporting me? Is this supporting the bookstore..."

"This is different...I don't care, I just want to buy it!"

Akina became stubborn, and Naoki Nagayama could only succumb to the power of the pregnant woman...

After breakfast, Naoki Nagayama called Kuniji Morikawa from Shogakukan and inquired about the specific situation.

"Ah... National sales will indeed have to wait until the day after tomorrow..." Kuniji Morikawa explained, "This should be a sales measure of Kinokuniya Bookstore, releasing some information in advance to increase awareness...

"

"These large chain bookstores sometimes find newspapers to place advertisements...or find novel critics to build momentum...and also put a few books in the stores in advance as early adopters...

.”

“But the unified sales time will still be the day after tomorrow!”

Nagayama Naoki nodded: "I see..."

"By the way, Naoki-san... our Shogakukan is also going to have a promotion..." Naoki Nagayama just called, and Kuniji Morikawa also discussed it, "Would you like to prepare some signatures?"

Books as prizes for the event?”

"Signed books?" Nagayama Naoki nodded, just like Akina's signed photo... "How many books do you want?"

"Why don't you just get a thousand copies..."

Nagayama Naoki was stunned for a moment, and then a tic-tac-toe appeared on his face, "Kuniji-san, I'll give you another chance to organize your words!"

"...Hahahaha~" Kuniji Morikawa laughed, "No kidding... Naoki-san, please help me sign a hundred copies... That will be no problem!"

(Kunji Morikawa thought: It’s a pity...it didn’t succeed!)

Only then did Nagayama Naoki let Morikawa Kunji go:

"...Bunji-san, please send the book to Sansakura-in. I happen to be free today..."

"Hey, please wait a moment, I'll ask Furuya Yuya to send him there right away..."

.......

Ryoto Hirata, who came to Tokyo to work hard, is the kind of worker who has to work in the cold wind.

But fortunately, his job is in the bookstore, so he can take a break when there is no one around... In such a cold weather, there are not many customers coming to the bookstore, so he can naturally take his time.

I even took out the newly arrived novel from the library and read it in advance... This is also a work benefit~

""Tokyo Love Story"... Teiki..." Hirata glanced at the cover, looking at the dark and thin man sketched on the cover, and the girl with a sunny face, and smacked his lips, "

This is the male protagonist, why does he look like he came from the countryside..."
