...

After finishing the company reorganization in the morning and having a working lunch at the company, Naoki Nagayama had some free time. It seemed like there was nothing going on this afternoon.

I was driving on the highway and suddenly hit the midday rush hour. The road was blocked and it took several minutes to move one meter. There might have been an accident.

When Nagayama Naoki saw the long queue in front of him, he became irritated, so when he saw the path next to him, he turned directly, and he could always pass by going around in a circle.

Opening the window, the cool wind blew in. The temperature at noon was no longer as cold as before, but had a bit of a spring flavor.

"You can open the convertible in a few days." Such thoughts flashed through Naoki Nagayama's head.

Looking at the surrounding roads, I feel inexplicably familiar... This is... near Waseda University?

When I lived here before, I still liked to walk around, and I was somewhat familiar with the scenery near Waseda University.

"It's rare to come here, let's take a look at Tsuruko on the way!"

Anyway, there was nothing to do in the afternoon, so Nagayama Naoki was not in a hurry. He found a parking lot and parked the car, and then strolled through the streets of the university town.

College students on the road are in groups, chatting and laughing, showing their youthful vitality. There are many snack bars, video halls, and record stores scattered nearby, all of which are more popular than other places.

Nagayama Naoki covered his chin with a scarf and blended into the atmosphere of a college student. While strolling around, he searched for Tsuruko's college based on his memories.

"The School of Liberal Arts...where is it~"

Although I couldn't find it for a long time, Nagayama Naoki was not in a hurry, so it was good to just take a stroll~

In February in Tokyo, it rarely snows, but occasionally there is a short spring rain, and it may also be hail.

Nagayama Naoki looked at the weather that changed at any time and curled his lips, obviously he wanted to take a walk.

"It's raining!" "There's snow!" "Ah, no, it's hail!" The students around shouted excitedly, as if even raining was an interesting thing.

Nagayama Naoki also quickly found a shelter to hide from the rain. When he looked back, he saw that it was a bookstore, with his own novel "Love Letter" on the shelf... Due to the popularity of the movie, the bookstore also put it

Put it in the promotion position!

"Ha...what a wonderful feeling~"

I randomly picked up other books and started reading them, both to avoid the rain and to pass the time...

At this moment, an exclamation came from the side: "Are you...Naoki Nagayama?!"

Nagayama Naoki turned around and saw a girl wearing a bookstore uniform, holding a book and looking at him in surprise.

I looked down and saw that the scarf had fallen down... and no longer covered my chin~

"Shh~"

Nagayama Naoki raised his index finger in front of his mouth to signal the little girl to be quiet, but the girl nodded in surprise and joy like a deer.

In the following days, the little girl walked past Naoki Nagayama several times holding a pile of books, seemingly arranging the books, but her eyes always glanced at the books in Naoki Nagayama's hands...

I haven’t changed it yet! It must be very heavy!

But when Nagayama Naoki looked over, he suddenly avoided it.

"What a shy little girl."

The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, and several people took shelter in the bookstore.

Even though Naoki Nagayama has covered his chin again, his tall and slender figure, unique temperament, and high-end-looking clothes attracted a lot of attention with just half of his face exposed.

"Who is that? So handsome!" "A senior from which college?" "I've never seen him before." "Looks like a star..." "The eyes look a bit like... Fujii Shu!" "Hahaha,

You nympho..."

Thanks to "Love Letter", a very large number of college students know Naoki Nagayama's face.

Seeing that the crowd was looking at him more and more, Nagayama Naoki felt that the possibility of him being recognized was getting bigger and bigger, and when the time came, he would be unable to escape... and the possibility of causing an accident was getting bigger and bigger!

The rain outside continued, and Naoki Nagayama could only pick up a novel and go to check out.

"Please wrap it up for me..." Naoki Nagayama said to the little girl, then looked at the unclaimed umbrella in the lost and found area next to him and said, "Can I borrow an umbrella?"

"Eh? It's okay, it's okay!"

After Naoki Nagayama paid the money, he casually picked up an umbrella and walked out of the store, then opened it...it was broken!

The little girl I saw next to me said enthusiastically:

"There are some umbrellas at the back! I'll get them..."

With that said, he ran to the store and took out many umbrellas...

"This umbrella..." The little girl found a black umbrella, opened it and saw that there was a hole...

"This... umbrella is broken..."

"This... can't be opened..."

At the entrance of the store, the two people were laughing while holding an umbrella, which attracted more people to take shelter from the rain. Nagayama Naoki was a little impatient. Because of his bending, his scarf fell down again, and he heard

Someone exclaimed "Naoki Nagayama".

"Pa~" The tense sound of the umbrella opening made him feel happy. Under the attention of more and more people, he hurriedly walked out into the rain holding the umbrella.

"Naoki-san! That umbrella is broken too!"

The little girl shouted a little anxiously. Naoki Nagayama looked up and saw that one of the red umbrella's ribs was broken, causing one corner of the umbrella to break off, but most of it was still good.

So he turned around and smiled:

"Silly tape, this umbrella is fine, I will return it!"

Seeing Nagayama Naoki walking further and further away, the little girl murmured a little disappointedly: "Naoki-san..."

"Really Naoki Nagayama?!" "Me?" "Really?!" "Impossible..."

There were a lot of discussions among the people who were taking shelter from the rain, and some people even asked the shop assistant for confirmation. However, Naoki Nagayama didn't know it at this time. He finally found his Toyota Century in the rain and got in.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Looking at the red umbrella on the co-pilot, Naoki Nagayama couldn't help but smile: "Today is really interesting... I actually leaned on it

This broken red umbrella saved my life~The little girl in the bookstore is also very interesting... However, there is a very familiar feeling..."

Bookstore, red umbrella, shy little girl, these keywords rushed into my mind like a starting gun.

Nagayama Naoki's head started to feel dizzy, "Are you going to remember something again?"

In the soothing music, Naoki Nagayama seems to have seen a secret love that can be complacent for a long time because of a little intersection: a high school girl studied hard just because her crush was admitted to a prestigious university in Tokyo.

I was also admitted to the same university...

Moving when the cherry blossoms are in bloom...the cherry blossoms falling in the pocket...the grassland under the bright sunshine...the wonderful college life...the bookstore in the rainstorm...

..The broken red umbrella...the sensitive and introverted little girl...

"April Story" is a movie whose images are so beautiful that they seem unreal.

After a long time, Nagayama Naoki opened his eyes...feeling his swollen head, Nagayama Naoki had to slap it with his hands a few times to wake up.

"It's "April Story"!"

"Why is it another secret love movie..."

"I'm obviously already in love... How come I keep recalling the movie I had a crush on?! It's still the same director!"

"Love Letter" and "April Story" are both films directed by Shunji Iwai.

"Why does this director always make movies about secret love?"

"Shunji Iwai must have had a secret crush when he was a boy but never confessed it!!!"

........

Now that he recalled the movie, Nagayama Naoki naturally couldn't continue looking for Tsuruko.

However, after it rained, the road became much smoother, and he quickly drove back to Shanyingyuan.

Avoiding Yotaro's warm welcome, Nagayama Naoki casually took off his coat and hurried to the study. Then he took out the manuscript paper and started typing.

There are a lot of things to recall this time. In addition to the movie scripts, there are actually several pieces of pure music...

While recalling the sound of music and writing down the score, Naoki Nagayama went a little crazy:

"Why does a movie of just 60 minutes have so many original soundtracks!!!"

Yantaro followed his master all the way to the study. After seeing his master immersed in work, he silently lay down in front of the desk to rest.

Some time ago, my master also stayed in the study, but at that time there were not so many complaints...

........

When you are immersed in work, time passes very quickly.

By the time Naoki Nagayama was forcibly woken up by his hungry stomach, it was already completely dark, and it was raining lightly outside.

Opening the window, a burst of warm and cool air rushed in, making Nagayama Naoki's somewhat heated head feel a sense of coolness.

Looking at the wall clock, it's almost 20 o'clock.

"It's already this point!"

Naoki Nagayama touched his stomach and looked at the half-written script... "Life is still important~"
