Chapter 327: A Day in the Life of Natsue Osamu

Natsue Usumoto slowly opened her eyes, the soft morning light filtered through the gauze curtains into the room, and the air was filled with a tranquil and warm atmosphere.

She lay on the spacious bed, feeling the dissipated body warmth beside her. The memory of her long-awaited reunion with Kogoro Mori last night still appeared vividly in her mind.

Her thoughts were rippling like ripples in the lake of her heart. She turned her head slightly and looked at the empty bed on the other side. A happy smile involuntarily rose at the corner of her mouth.

"Kogoro, did you go out this morning?"

She murmured softly, reaching out to touch the pillow where Kogoro Mori had lay last night, as if she could still feel his body temperature.

The moment she closed her eyes, everything that happened last night quietly replayed before her eyes - they hugged each other tightly under the soft light, telling each other about their longing and concern for each other over the years, and the surging emotions after the long-parting reunion made her feel as if she was in a dream.

Slowly getting up, Xia Jiang Yumoto put on his pajamas and stepped barefoot on the soft carpet.

She gently pushed open the bedroom door and came to the spacious and bright dining room.

The table was already filled with a carefully prepared breakfast: a bowl of steaming miso soup, a golden fried Japanese omelet, neatly arranged rice, a glass of milk and a freshly baked toasted sandwich.

When Xia Jiang Yumoto looked at this sumptuous breakfast, a warm feeling suddenly surged in his heart.

"Kogoro..." She smiled softly, her eyes so gentle that they seemed to be drowning in water.

Obviously, he had prepared all these for her carefully early in the morning.

His serious look seemed to be right in front of him, making Natsue Tsunamoto feel that he had never been so cherished and cared for.

She carefully picked up the bowl of miso soup and took a sip. The warm soup slid across her tongue, and the taste was richer than she had imagined.

The omelette was unexpectedly smooth, with the light aroma of butter mixed with the salty taste of soy sauce, which made her curl the corners of her mouth involuntarily.

"Really tasty……"

Natsue Uzumoto whispered to himself as he continued to savor this breakfast full of love, but he couldn't help but start to miss the figure who went out to work early in the morning.

As she was thinking, her cell phone suddenly vibrated.

Uzumoto Natsue looked down and saw a message from Mao Li: "Good morning, Natsue. I prepared breakfast for you, I hope you like it. I arranged a car for you today, you can come to the set to see me later. The Uzumoto has been borrowed to shoot "Titanic", I am still waiting for you on the set. I will give you a surprise then!"

Natsue Yumoto held the phone in his hands, his face full of surprise and sweetness.

She looked at the familiar name in the message, and her heart suddenly softened.

Maori is always like this, seemingly rough, but revealing his care and concern for her in every detail.

He knew her attention to details of life and her feelings for the Yamato, so he specially arranged a comfortable car taking her preferences and needs into consideration.

"Humph, what's so mysterious about it..."

Natsue Yamoto chuckled, shook his head and put down his phone.

She finished her breakfast in no time, then walked briskly back to her bedroom and picked out a white dress that was decent but not too formal.

With light makeup and small hairpins in her hair, she smiled at the mirror, then turned and walked out of the house.

Following the information provided by Mao Li, the car stopped downstairs on time.

This was a spacious and comfortable black luxury car, with her favorite refreshments and a newly published detective novel in the back seat - obviously all of this was specially arranged for her by Mao Li. The driver politely opened the door for her, she smiled and nodded, and got in the car.

The car drove smoothly towards the set, and the scenery outside the window passed by her eyes quickly.

Natsue Usumoto watched quietly, feeling a surge of anticipation in his heart - what would Mori's "surprise" be?

Soon, the car stopped in front of the set.

When Usumoto Natsue got out of the car, what came into view was the huge Usumoto cruise ship, which was moored at the chartered port studio, standing there like a giant beast.

The port was crowded with staff and crew members, each doing their own job and working in an orderly manner.

Before Natsue Uzumoto had fully recovered from the shock, he heard warm applause and cheers coming from the front.

She looked in the direction of the voice and saw Kogoro Mouri standing in the center of the set, dressed in a handsome suit, playing the role of a dashing leading man.

Acting opposite him was none other than the world-renowned top actress Yukiko Kudo.

The performance of the two is reaching its climax.

The character played by Mao Li has a deep complexion and his eyes are full of complex emotions. His voice is low and infectious, as if he can bring everyone on the scene into that magnificent story.

And Yukiko Kudo vividly displayed the heroine's inner entanglement and struggle with her delicate expressions and soft lines.

"I don't care who you are! I just want to be with you!"

Maori's voice suddenly rose, and he stared at Kudo Yukiko with his sharp eyes, as if everything around them had disappeared and only the two of them were left.

Tears welled up in Kudo Yukiko's eyes. She trembled slightly, her voice full of pain and longing: "But... I can't abandon my family, I can't--"

"family?!"

Mao Li's voice exploded like thunder. He grabbed Kudo Yukiko's shoulders and looked at her lovingly. "If this is the wall that separates us, I will tear it down with my own hands!"

All the staff off the field held their breath, and even the air seemed to freeze.

Natsue Usumoto couldn't help but cover her mouth and stared at the two of them intently - at that moment, she seemed to be deeply infected by their emotions, feeling the strong love and struggle.

Finally, Maori and Kudo Yukiko hugged each other, and the audience burst into warm applause and cheers.

"Card! Very good!"

The director shouted excitedly, and the crew members immediately rushed over to offer their warm congratulations to Mao Nanari (and Kudo Shiori).

Mao Li turned around and scanned the crowd, finally meeting the eyes of Usumoto Natsue who was standing in the distance. He smiled slightly and extended his hand to her.

A surge of emotion surged in Xia Jiang's heart, and she walked towards him without hesitation.

Mao Li held her hand tightly and whispered, "Xia Jiang, welcome to our Titanic!"

As Usumoto Natsue felt Maori's warm and powerful palm, an indescribable emotion surged in his heart.

She raised her head slightly and looked into Maori's deep, smiling eyes. It seemed that at this moment, all the noise around them was isolated, leaving only the two of them staring at each other quietly.

"You...acted really well."

Uzumoto Natsue said softly, his voice full of admiration and satisfaction, "You are worthy of being the savior of Tokyo."

Maori laughed heartily, "I told you, I'm a hidden genius! I just don't want to show it too obviously."

He put down Natsue Yamamoto's hand, winked at her confidently, then gently put his arm around her shoulders and escorted her towards the rest area on the set.

At this time, Kudo Yukiko was surrounded by a group of staff. The retro long dress she was wearing looked particularly elegant, and her golden curly hair had a soft luster in the sun.

Seeing Mao Li and Usumoto Natsue walking side by side, Yukiko was stunned for a moment, then she smiled warmly and waved her hand gently.

"Ms. Natsue Tsunamoto, nice to meet you!"

Kudo Yukiko's voice was still soft and kind, with a unique intellectual charm, "No wonder Kogoro chose you as the prototype of Rose, you are really unique."

Natsue Tsunamoto was stunned for a moment, then nodded gently.

She had a very good impression of Yukiko, a legendary actress who not only had amazing acting skills but was also very sincere in her dealings with others.

"Senior Yukiko, your acting skills are impeccable. I was almost moved to tears by your performance just now." Uzumoto Natsue praised sincerely.

"No, no, today Kogoro's performance was even better than mine."

Yukiko smiled. This woman was the financial sponsor of the entire Titanic, and she also had a close relationship with Mori.

As a smart woman, Yukiko Kudo naturally knew what to do.

Kudo Yukiko stood behind Usumoto Natsue, watching her staring at the interaction between Mori and herself, and her heart moved.

She turned slightly to the side, gently patted Xia Jiang's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Ms. Xia Jiang, you are so fascinated by it, do you also want to try to play the leading role?"

Uzumoto Natsue was stunned for a moment, a slight blush appeared on his face, and he waved his hands hurriedly as if his secrets were exposed: "No, no! Yukiko-senpai, how can I compare with you? And I have no acting experience at all..."

Yukiko looked at her slightly reserved yet expectant expression, and a hint of tenderness flashed in her eyes.

She gently held Xia Jiang's shoulders and said softly, "Don't say that. Everyone has a passion and desire to perform. If you want to try, don't be constrained by these concerns. Just enjoy the fun of acting!"

Natsue Usumoto stared at Yukiko Kudo in a daze. She felt the sincere encouragement and unreserved support. The uneasiness and inferiority in her heart slowly dissipated, replaced by a slight impulse to try.

She took a deep breath and glanced at Maori Kogoro who was standing beside her, seeming to be hesitating.

At this moment, the director came over and said to her with a kind smile: "Ms. Xia Jiang, I think Ms. Yukiko's suggestion is very good. Mr. Mao Li and Ms. Kudo's acting skills are very stable, and our shooting progress today is faster than expected. So there is no problem with time, you can give it a try without worry!"

"Really, really?"

Natsue Uzumoto opened his eyes wide with excitement, and could hardly believe his ears.

She subconsciously glanced at Mao Li to see his reaction. Mao Li met her gaze with a gentle and doting smile on his face.

"Come on, Xia Jiang!"

Maori Kogoro gentlemanly extended his hand to her, his voice low and magnetic, "Since Yukiko said so, let's give it a try! I'm really looking forward to performing with you."

Xia Jiang's heart was pounding with excitement and his eyes were sparkling with excitement.

She could no longer suppress her inner joy, and nodded gently, reaching out her slightly trembling hand and holding Maori's hand.

The familiar warmth passed into her heart, making her heart beat faster.

Maori took her hand and led her step by step to the center of the deck.

Natsue Yumoto hardly noticed the surprised looks from the staff around her. All she had in her eyes and heart was the man in front of her and his doting smile.

"How about we do a classic scene from Titanic?"

Maori's voice was soft and clear in the sea breeze, with a hint of teasing, yet a kind of intoxicating power.

Natsue Usamoto's breathing suddenly became rapid. She knew which part he was referring to - that was the famous scene that all the audiences had remembered.

"Kogoro..."

She murmured softly, tears glistening in her eyes, and the indescribable emotion in her heart almost overflowed.

"Open your arms, Xia Jiang!"

Maori smiled softly and pulled her to the edge of the deck, standing behind her as Jack did, holding her waist gently.

He lowered his head, leaned close to her ear, and said in a low and infectious voice, "You are my heroine, let me take you to feel the wind of freedom."

Natsue Usumoto felt like she was almost melting in Maori's gentle voice. She closed her eyes, feeling his warm breath brushing against her ears, and it was as if a pair of wings rose up in her heart, gently flapping.

She slowly raised her arms and opened them like a swan spreading its wings for flight, feeling the oncoming sea breeze brushing against her fingertips.

The gentle sound of the wind, Maori's steady strength, the sparkling sea below the deck... At this moment, she seemed to have really transformed into Rose, standing on that huge cruise ship, feeling the freedom and happiness she had never experienced before.

"Look, you're flying."

Mao Li's voice sounded behind her, with an undisguised fondness in it.

"I...I really did it..."

Natsue Yumoto murmured softly, tears welling up in her eyes.

She never thought that one day she would become the focus of everyone's attention in this way.

She felt the support and strength from the hands behind her, and her heart was filled with deep emotion.

At this moment, the workers around also stopped their work and fell silent tacitly.

Everyone watched with bated breath as the couple reenacted the classic scene in the afterglow of the sunset, with indescribable emotion in their eyes.

"What a nice view……"

A young female staff member sighed softly, "They really look like Jack and Rose."

"Yes," another photographer couldn't help but sigh, "This kind of real emotion is far more touching than acting."

Hearing these words, a slight sweetness arose in Xiajiang Yumoto's heart.

She opened her eyes, her gaze gently swept across the smiling staff, and finally stopped at the endless horizon in front of her.

The afterglow of the setting sun dyed the sky and the sea golden, as if casting a soft glow on this heartwarming performance.

"Kogoro..." She murmured, tears glistening in the corners of her eyes, "Thank you..."

"Silly, why are you thanking me?"

Mao Li hugged her tightly, with a hint of smile in his voice, "To make you happy, this is what I want to do most."

Xia Jiang Yumoto closed his eyes and let the tears slide down quietly, but he was smiling.
