Chapter 8: Kamakura (2)
"Did you just leave to buy a picture frame and a camera?"
Seeing the sweat oozing from Lin Xiuyi's forehead, Akemi felt a burst of warmth for no reason. All those worries and worries just now disappeared in an instant.
"Hey, let me be your exclusive photographer for the next few days, I haven't fiddled with the camera much before, but I'll try to make you satisfied!
"That...... The new camera should be charged before it can be used!"
"Ah...... I didn't expect it!"
……
After leaving the mall, because of the camera, Lin Xiuyi and Akemi unexpectedly had more topics. Hayashi Shuichi drove the car in the direction of Kamakura City, while Akemi took out her newly purchased camera and fiddled happily in the car.
"Oh...... It's almost here, Kamakura Kokumae Station, the Crossroads of Fate (the station in Slam Dunk), let's take a picture here tomorrow!"
"Hmm...... I didn't expect it to be here! No wonder this area looks so familiar!"
Akemi was reminded by Lin Xiuyi, and raised her head to look at the front of the vehicle, and the traffic light in front of her happened to turn red at this time. The railing in front of the railroad was lowered at this time, blocking the way of passing vehicles. However, Lin Xiuyi now enjoys the time of waiting for the red light. On the opposite side of the railway is the coastal motorway. As a train with an antique appearance passed ahead. The railing in front of it began to rise slowly. Lin Xiuyi's GTR drove over unhurriedly.
One of Hayashi's booked hotels is the Kamakura Prince Hotel, which is located near the coast of National Highway 134. This is a small but luxurious seaview resort. When the two arrived at the hotel by car, they checked in separately and then went to two adjacent rooms on the same floor.
After Lin Xiuyi walked into the room, he first took off his shirt and trousers, went to the bathroom for a good bath, and then took out a flower shirt and sunhat from his luggage. Then he cautiously took out his sunglasses from his pocket and put them on.
Standing in front of the mirror, Lin Xiuyi felt as if he had changed into a different person. This outfit doesn't look like a well-behaved civil servant at all, but a bit like the younger brother of a certain extreme organization. Seeing his terrible appearance, Lin Xiuyi hurriedly took off his embarrassing clothes again, took out a t-shirt from his luggage and put it on his body.
Because the camera's battery needs to be charged, Hayashi Shuichi and Akemi ate lunch at the hotel. The two of them asked for some local travel information from the hotel staff, and then sat down at the table, eating lunch while planning their itinerary for the next few days.
After lunch, the two went back to their rooms to rest for a while, then took their cameras and drove out of the hotel.
Because there was only half a day left, Lin Shuichi and Akemi chose Enoshima, the closest to them, as the first stop on their trip. Lin Shuichi parked the car in the parking lot on the pier, and then walked to Enoshima with Akemi. Because she knew that Lin Xiuyi would take pictures of herself, Akemi specially changed into a yukata suitable for taking pictures and traveled together. Along the way, although Akemi is wearing a mask, there will still be people looking at Akemi.
However, just when Lin Xiuyi and Akemi had just arrived on Enoshima, Lin Xiuyi's phone suddenly rang. As soon as Lin Xiu picked up his mobile phone, he saw that it was actually a call from actor Naoto Fujiki, whom he hadn't seen for a long time. He said sorry to Akemi, then picked up the phone and walked to the side and whispered:
"Mr. Fujiki, haven't you been in touch for a long time?"
"Hey...... I'm sorry that it's been so long since I last said goodbye in Tokyo. ”
"I think you went to make a movie, how is it, is everything going well?"
"Well, thanks to you...... My first directorial work in my life was finally made. Contacting you today is also to invite you to our premiere when the time comes. ”
"Oh so, may I ask what the specific time is......"
"Next week's weekend, the venue is the Toei Theater near Marunouchi, can Officer Hayashi be able to attend?"
"Next week's weekend, yes, thank you for having me!"
"There, without the help of Officer Lin, I am afraid that this movie would not have been made so quickly. Besides, Officer Lin, your connections in the U.S. have also saved us a lot of trouble?"
"Ah...... You're so kind!"
……
Akemi stood quietly in place, quietly looking at Lin Xiuyi. Although there is still some distance between Akemi and Lin Shuichi. But she still heard the name Mr. Fujiki mentioned in surprise just now. This can't help but remind me of the suggestion that Takashima Sae made to her before leaving.
"If you really want to travel with Lin Shuichi, it's best to take this opportunity to ask him to introduce you to Naoto Fujiki. You also know that you have a long-term brokerage contract with the company. You are not allowed to fall in love or marry during the duration of the contract. However, if the men you are dating can be more helpful to your career, I think the company will also consider it as appropriate......"
I have to say that Takashima Sae's words really made Akemi feel deeply embarrassed. To be honest, she didn't want to use Lin Xiuyi's relationship to promote her career, which was hit by her love. When she set off, Akemi had forgotten about it. However, Mr. Fujiki, who played Lin Shuichi just now, suddenly sobered up Akemi.
"What should I do? If I really ask Shuichi-kun to introduce me to Mr. Fujiki, he will definitely think that I am that kind of utilitarian woman! But what if I don't say it? I'm afraid that Sister Takashima and the company won't let me continue to associate with Shuichi-kun......"
"It's been a long wait!"
Just when Akemi's heart was still worried about Naoto Fujiki's affairs, Lin Shuichi suddenly returned to his side.
"Hmm...... Not...... It's nothing! just thought about some work stuff......"
Akemi replied with some hesitation, and then lowered her head in some frustration.
