1990: Starting from Baojia Street

Zhou Yan carried Akina Nakamori into the house again, then he came out to tidy up the table and went to the guest room.

When he got to the guest room, he found that the bed was not made.

Looking at the bare mattress, Zhou Yan patted his forehead and turned back to the living room.

After looking at the sofa in the living room for a while, he finally decided to sleep in the room. After all, it was not the first time that the three of them slept in the same bed.

But before going to bed, he wants to take a bath.

After taking a shower, he ran straight to the bed and lay down in his shorts.

He was lying on the far left, Shizuka Kudo was lying in the middle, and Akina Nakamori was lying on the far right.

At this moment, they were both sleeping soundly, and they didn't react at all when Zhou Yan lay beside them.

Zhou Yan was also a little sleepy, and fell asleep after lying down for a while.

He didn't know how long it had been, but Zhou Yan felt an itch in his chest. He reached out his hand in a daze and grabbed a small hand.

Zhou Yan subconsciously thought that it was Shizuka Kudo's hand because Shizuka Kudo was sleeping next to him.

After Zhou Yan grabbed that hand, instead of retreating, he went further and put his legs over Zhou Yan.

Before Zhou Yan could react, someone was riding on him.

Zhou Yan was about to open his eyes to see what Kudo Shizuka was going to do, but suddenly his brows frowned because little Zhou Yan was surrounded.

When Zhou Yan opened his eyes, he found that it was Akina Nakamori who was riding on him.

Seeing Zhou Yan open his eyes, Akina Nakamori quickly covered his mouth with her hand, as if she was afraid of making a noise and waking up Shizuka Kudo.

Zhou Yan was very surprised when he saw Akina Nakamori biting her lips, with a dazed look in her eyes but trying not to make a sound. He didn't expect Akina Nakamori to be so brave. She dared to come up even though Shizuka Kudo was lying next to her.

In the next few minutes, Zhou Yan simply lay there and gave the initiative to Akina Nakamori.

……

But Kudo Shizuka next to her suddenly rolled over, scaring Akina Nakamori so much that she rolled to the other side.

In the end, Zhou Yan could only turn around and hug Kudo Shizuka in his arms.

Shizuka Kudo was dazed and Zhou Yan hugged her, and she murmured, "You're here."

As soon as she finished speaking, she was kissed by Zhou Yan.

Kudo Shizuka snorted softly, hugged Zhou Yan tightly and responded.

The next morning, when Akina Nakamori woke up, she found Shizuka Kudo staring at her with burning eyes.

Both of them were naked, and Zhou Yan was lying between them.

Facing Kudo Shizuka's gaze, Nakamori Akina felt guilty. She swallowed and whispered, "Shizuka, I..."

But just as she opened her mouth, Kudo Shizuka said calmly, "What do you want to eat in the morning?"

"Ah?" Akina Nakamori looked at Shizuka Kudo in surprise, not knowing what was going on.

Shouldn't she question herself? Why ask herself what to eat for breakfast?
Kudo Shizuka didn't explain, but asked again, "What do you want to eat for breakfast?"

"Me, I can eat anything."

Kudo Shizuka nodded, "Then let's cook some noodles."

After saying that, Kudo Shizuka climbed up from the bed. Nakamori Akina lagged behind by half a beat, but then she also climbed up, "I'll help you."

After Zhou Yan got up, he found that Akina Nakamori and Shizuka Kudo were already busy in the kitchen. The scene was peaceful.

Thinking of the madness of last night, Zhou Yan patted his head. He had originally thought that the situation might be difficult to clean up after getting up, but now it seems to be better than he imagined.

I just don't know if there are undercurrents beneath the calm.

Hearing Zhou Yan's footsteps, Kudo Shizuka turned around and said, "Go wash up. It's almost time for dinner. The new toothbrush in the bathroom is in the bottom drawer."

"okay."

When Zhou Yan came back after washing up, they had already served him the noodles with a fried egg on top.

Then the three of them began to eat in silence. Apart from the sound of slurping noodles, no other sound could be heard.

After a long while, Zhou Yan spoke first, "I have to go back to the hotel soon and record a show in the afternoon. What about you guys? What are your plans?"

Akina Nakamori looked up at Zhou Yan and blinked, "Didn't you say you didn't book a hotel?"

Kudo Shizuka rolled her eyes, "You didn't even know you were deceived by him. If he didn't book a hotel, where would he put the luggage?"

After hearing what Kudo Shizuka said, Akina Nakamori realized how stupid she was.

Yes, Zhou Yan came all the way to Tokyo, it is impossible that he did not bring any luggage. And Zhou Yan went to the martial arts hall yesterday, but empty-handed, he must have dropped off his luggage at the hotel in advance before going to the martial arts hall.

"I'm so stupid."

Zhou Yan smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll check out of the room in a bit and come back tonight."

Kudo Shizuka curled her lips and said, "If you come tonight, you will also sleep in the guest room.

“The beds in the guest rooms were not made.”

"Then sleep on the sofa. You won't be allowed to sleep in our room anyway."

Akina Nakamori said weakly, "Why don't I go home tonight."

"No, you're staying here tonight, let him sleep on the sofa."

Zhou Yan smiled and said, "You can sleep on the sofa. I'm going to the hotel later. Do you want to come with me?"

"Who's coming with you? Let's go shopping."

They had originally agreed to go shopping today, and Kudo Shizuka was not planning to change her plans. She was still a little confused and didn't know how to deal with the relationship between the three of them, so for the time being she planned to keep everything as it was and not change anything until she had thought it through.

"Then let's go shopping." Zhou Yan nodded, and then asked, "They have a premiere tomorrow afternoon, do you want to go? If you want to go, I can get you two tickets."

"Of course."

"it is good."

Then Zhou Yan quickly finished the noodles in the bowl and went to the hotel.

When he arrived at the hotel, he took a shower, changed his clothes, had lunch, and then rushed to TV Asahi.

Today he was going to record a talk show, so he went there in advance to check the script.

When he arrived at the TV station, his old friend Hide Nomura came to pick him up with an interpreter.

Nomura Hide was very happy to see Zhou Yan and held his hand tightly. "Mr. Zhou Yan, it's been a long time. Thank you very much for your help this time."

The program Zhou Yan participated in today is called "Music River", a new program hosted by Nomura Shu.

When this program was being prepared, we wanted to invite Zhou Yan to participate, and we had sent him invitations several times before, but he had never agreed.

Just a few days ago, Nomura Hide suddenly received a call from Zhou Yan, saying that he was willing to participate in the recording of "Music River", which made Nomura Hide very happy. The station had high hopes for "Music River", but the response to the first two episodes did not meet expectations. Zhou Yan's presence at this time might be able to turn things around.

Putting aside other things, at least there is no need to worry about the ratings of this episode.

The reason why Zhou Yan agreed to participate in Nomura Shu's program was naturally because Asahi TV had always been good to him. Every time he had a work released, Asahi TV would spare no effort to help promote it.

Of course, Asahi TV did not help Zhou Yan for no reason. There were interests involved between the two parties, and Zhou Yan had many things sold by Asahi TV.

The most famous one is the videotape called "Distant Journey". This videotape is still selling well and Asahi TV can continue to make profits from it.

In addition to this videotape, Zhou Yan also gave videotapes of several of his concerts to TV Asahi for agency, and these concert videotapes also brought a lot of revenue to TV Asahi.

As for Zhou Yan's Forbidden City Concert, TV Asahi can be said to be the biggest beneficiary from Japan, because they directly obtained the live broadcast rights and the sales agency for subsequent videotapes.

Over the years, Zhou Yan's cooperation with TV Asahi has been very good, and both parties have always been very satisfied.

Feeling Nomura Hide's enthusiasm, Zhou Yan said with a smile, "I heard that your show just started not long ago?"

"Yes, two episodes have just been aired."

“Are the ratings okay?”

Nomura smiled sheepishly, "Not bad, but the goal was set too high before the show started, and it hasn't met expectations yet."

Zhou Yan nodded. "Is your show a pure interview show? Am I the only guest in this show?"

"It's not just a talk show, there are also some game segments. As for the guest, you are the only one this time."

"How many hosts are you?"

"Including me, that makes four."

"What kind of games are there?"

"We have several games, and it depends on which one you want to play, such as cooking competition, street challenge, truth or dare, and theme creative styling game."

Zhou Yan smiled. The production team respected his opinions so much that they even let him choose the game segments.

This is not a good thing. If all the links are not confirmed in advance, there will definitely be many problems during the recording.

He thought for a moment and said, "I don't care. Just make sure the steps are in place."

"Actually, we have designed a link before, but we don't know if you are willing to do it."

"What link?" Zhou Yan asked.

"It's a big part, divided into two small parts. The whole part is related to music, and it's for you to show your musical talent. In the first small part, you are given a text, and then you play a piece of music that matches the text. The second small part is similar, you are given a video, and then you create a temporary soundtrack based on the video."

Zhou Yan raised his eyebrows and said, "This part is quite creative."

"Don't worry, we will show you the text and video in advance so that you can prepare in advance. In fact, we should have communicated this link with you earlier, so that you can prepare earlier."

In fact, this segment was also prepared temporarily by Nomura Hide and others, and the reason they thought of this segment was naturally because the guest was Zhou Yan.

If it were an ordinary guest, let alone asking them to create something on the spur of the moment, even if they were asked to prepare it in advance, I'm afraid the effect would not be very good.

Zhou Yan smiled and waved his hands, "It's pointless to prepare in advance, let's just follow the plan and show it to me when the show officially starts."

"Is it really possible?" Nomura Hide's expression was both surprised and worried.

Of course he knew that Zhou Yan's talent was unmatched by ordinary people, but the difficulty was so high that it was easy to make mistakes, which would affect the recording effect.

Zhou Yan said affirmatively, "It's okay, just do it this way. As long as it's related to music, it's okay to make it a little more difficult."

His confidence also infected Nomura Shu, making Nomura Shu full of confidence in today's program recording.

The three of them talked as they walked, and Nomura Hide took Zhou Yan to the fifth floor.

The elevator door opened and two women were standing at the door, one of whom Zhou Yan knew.

The other party also recognized Zhou Yan and said with surprise, "Mr. Zhou Yan."

Although the other party spoke in Japanese, Zhou Yan knew that the other party called his name, so he smiled and responded, "Hello, Ms. Sakai."

The translator next to him also started working, translating Zhou Yan's words to Izumi Sakai.

Izumi Sakai smiled and said, "It's been a long time since we last met. Are you here to record the show today?"

“Well, I’m here to record ‘Music River’.”

"Oh, is it Mr. Nomura's new show?"

Nomura Hide smiled and nodded, "Yes, Sakai, do you want to come and play some time?"

"Of course, I will go when I have time." Sakai Izumi looked at Zhou Yan again, "Mr. Zhou Yan, your new movie is about to be released. Are you coming to Tokyo to promote the movie this time?"

"um, yes."

"Will the movie have its premiere in Neon?" asked Izumi Sakai.

"There is a premiere the day after tomorrow."

"Can I join in then?"

Zhou Yan looked at Izumi Sakai in surprise. He didn't expect Izumi Sakai to be so proactive.

Izumi Sakai took the initiative to ask about the premiere ceremony. Zhou Yan couldn't refuse such a favor, so he nodded and said, "Of course, if you want, I'll have someone save a seat for you."

"Of course I do. I was planning to buy a ticket to watch it at the cinema on the 12th. Now I can watch it in advance. It's really great."

Afterwards, Zhou Yan and Izumi Sakai exchanged contact information and said goodbye. The woman standing next to her should be her assistant.

After Sakai Izumi left, Nomura Hide said with a smile, "Zhou Yanjun, you are indeed popular. Sakai rarely pays attention to the opposite sex."

Not only does Izumi Sakai rarely interact with the opposite sex, she rarely shows up in public, including rarely participating in variety shows.

In recent years, the most popular female singer in Japan, besides Shizuka Kudo, should be Izumi Sakai. She debuted later than Shizuka Kudo, but has developed very well in recent years. Her first single entered the top ten of the Oricon chart that year, and then she released an album with million sales in the second year. Her third album even topped the annual chart.

"Is she here to record the show?" Zhou Yan asked.

Nomura Hide shook his head. "No, she basically doesn't participate in programs. Even though she just promised to go to my program when she has time, it's actually impossible."

"Oh, really?"

"Well, it's been a few years since she last appeared on the show."

"A few years. Wouldn't the last time I saw her on the show be the last time?"

"Well, that should be the case. The last program she participated in was "Music House". Qingyinfang was also invited to that episode, right?"

“Yes, I was there that time.”

"That's right."

Zhou Yan secretly sighed, this girl is really low-key. (End of this chapter)
