Day 64 Happy Birthday (2)(1/2)
Since the singing started, Grace had been sitting down at the dining table again, her eyes had been circling on Ai Fei's face. She never expected that this guy would have such a romantic side? She knew the relationship between Yumiya Iko and him. The other party was just his secretary, so it was worth his careful preparation of a birthday dinner. What if it was his wife or lover? What would happen?
This question has been bothering her. Looking at his radiant young face under the light, Grace's heart twitched suddenly: "Does he seem to be a pretty handsome man too?"
Ai Fei didn't notice the change in Grace's expression at all, and his attention was all focused on Yumiya Jingko: "Hey, do you think I forgot?"
Yumiya Jingzi no longer had the depression and anxiety he had when he first came, and her goose-shaped face was full of sweet smiles: "Where? I know Xiao Aijun will never forget it."
"Hey! Come on! I don't know if it's you, you don't even want to talk to me when you come in!"
"Where...ah!" Yumiya Jingzi's face turned redder and she looked more charming: "...I'm never sorry!"
The conversations between the two people were in Japanese, and Ge Lace and David couldn't understand them at all, but they could guess a little bit of their expressions: "Oh, sorry, Miss Kelly, it's Aomiya's birthday tonight. I hope I won't neglect you and Mr. Nicki because of this."
"Oh, no.": Grace seemed to remember something.: "I'm sorry, Ms. Ariko, I didn't know that today is your birthday, and I didn't prepare a gift for you."
"Ah? No, no, no, how can this be done?" Yumiya Iko said incoherently: "I am already very happy that you can attend. How can you prepare a gift for me?"
"Yes. Mr. Ike prepared such a birthday gift for you. I'm afraid you won't take any gifts from others to heart, right?" Grace murmured to herself.
"Hey? What did you say?"
"No, nothing." Grace quickly changed the subject and suddenly felt a jealousy in her heart: What a woman who is immersed in happiness!
After dinner, I gave the birthday cake to all the guests present tonight. The group walked out of the restaurant and sat in the car. Yumiya Jingzi had a few more drinks, and her body was soft and lying on Grace's shoulder, with a sweet smile on the corner of her mouth, as if she was still savoring the joy of tonight.
"If you agree, I want me to take care of Ms. Aiguchi, okay?"
"How can you be so embarrassed?" Ai Fei pulled the seat belt, but turned his head again: "Will that not bother you?"
"No, I insist. And, I don't think it would be a very troublesome thing." Grace smiled and looked at the rearview mirror in the car: "Of course, if you're worried..."
"Haha!" Ai Fei laughed dryly: "How can it be! Well, if this is the case, I'll trouble you."
Grace's eyes turned: "If you think you are troubled by me, I think, I will translate your conversation with Ms. Aigumiya to me as a thank you, how about it?"
Ai Fei didn't expect her to make such a request, and nodded in a daze: "Actually nothing. I'm just kidding her. That's it..."
Grace's heart calmed down a little: "Sorry, my request was too much, you can refuse."
"It's nothing, it's nothing." As he spoke, Ai Fei started the car.
Grace also has her own residence in New York, at the entrance of a single villa in Manhattan. Ai Fei stopped the car, opened the car door first, and hugged Yugong Jingzi who was sleeping soundly. Nicky opened the door in front of her, walked into the guest room, put her on the bed, the latter turned over and continued to sleep.
Grace walked in with her coat belonging to Yumiya Iko: "I'll help her drag her clothes."
“…………”
"Gentlemen?"
"Ah, I'm sorry!" The two men quickly retreated and closed the door casually. The two men sat down on the sofa in the living room. Ai Fei had the opportunity to look at Grace's home: Compared with other people's homes, his residence on Lessing Street became a pigpen. It was not that the area was so large, but that the decoration was exquisite! The sofa was made of real Persian sheepskin, the walls were oak boards, and the handles on the kitchen were shining silver, and it was not sterling silver, right?
That's not counting. In 1952, TV was still an appliance that few people could use, and there was a single one in the hall. That's not counting. What surprised Ai Fei the most was that there was a strange iron cabinet on the wall behind the sofa, which was said to be an iron cabinet. It didn't look like a file cabinet in the general sense, with transistor indicator lights on it. What kind of fun is this?
"This is called an air conditioner. It can be turned on when the summer is hottest. Well, it can make the air cooler." Nicky saw his doubts and explained to him with a smile.
Ai Fei immediately understood that this is an air conditioner! It’s so awesome! It’s actually an air conditioner in 1952? Awesome, so awesome!
Nicky poured him a cup of coffee on the table, and picked up one and sat on the sofa: "Mr. Ike, please."
"Ah, thank you, Mr. Nicky."
Grace walked out slowly and took the door to the room: "Ms. Yugong is asleep. I think she will lose her alcoholism when she wakes up."
"Thank you very much!" Ai Fei stood up and bowed: "Because my assistant..."
"Nothing. You're welcome." Maybe I was tossing inside, and sweat appeared on Grace's forehead: "David, can I pour me a glass of water?"
"Yes, Miss."
The lady sat down on the sofa and looked at Ai Fei at close range, making him look a little furious: "Miss Kelly?"
"Can you be as romantic as you are with me Japanese?" Grace held her cheek with great interest and looked at him with a smile.
"...In fact, as far as I know, the Japanese are a very restrained nation. Well, there is almost no Japanese who would congratulate their...assistant on their birthday in such a romantic way. Of course, some birthday gifts will be prepared. Others,... nothing more."
"That is, do you think you are very different from other Japanese people? What is my reaction in this case?"
"You also know that Arimiya is my secretary. I originally arranged some other jobs for her in Japan, but... she still took the initiative to come to the United States to accompany me and take care of me, which was also of great help to my career. I celebrated her birthday today, which can only be said to be a way for me to express my gratitude."
Grace opened the bag beside her, took out the cigarette box, installed the cigarette mouthpiece, and blinked at Ai Fei with a smile: "Is that OK?"
Ai Fei subconsciously touched his body a few times: "I'm sorry, I didn't prepare a match? And..."
Grace took out her lighter and was about to light it and stopped again: "And what?"
"If I can make the decision, Miss Kelly, cigarettes are a product that is very harmful to the human body..." He smiled helplessly: "Do you don't believe me? Of course, if you just smoke a small amount of cigarettes every day, nothing will happen."
“That is, if there are a lot, it would be bad?”
Ai Fei didn't say anything, but just picked up the cup and tasted the fragrant coffee. The appearance was clearly accustomed to it.
Grace hesitated for a moment, and intuition told herself that this weird Japanese man did not lie, but was unwilling to accept his opinion just like this. When she was in a dilemma, Nicki walked over with a cup of water: "Miss Kelly, you want water."
"Ah, thank you, David." Grace put the cigarette holder aside: "Oh, David, you can go and rest."
"……………” David's eyes rolled around the two of them: "Miss, are you sure I don't have to do anything more?"
"No, no need. You're tired today too. Good night."
"Good night, Miss Kelly."
As time went by, Grace was not tired at all, and kept asking questions. Ai Fei couldn't say goodbye and left directly, so he had to deal with it and answered: "...As for my family, it's even more ordinary, Dad, Mom, and me, a family of three. There are several dogs I picked up from the street and then raised them like this." As he said that, he yawned: "I'm sorry... Miss Kelly, will it delay your rest?"
"No." Grace felt very energetic: "Of course not. I mean, I rarely talk to a friend from the East, and in this situation where no one disturbs me, can I say more about you?"
Ai Fei pinched his nose helplessly and tried to make himself more sober: "Miss Kelly, I am only 20 years old this year. My life is only so short, and there is nothing to say as an anecdote. In fact, every time I recall my life, I feel that there is a little missing point!"
"But... please forgive my recklessness. I once heard Ms. Aimiya talk about your life in Japan. It seems that a man who can achieve such success at the age of you is extremely rare even in the United States?"
Ai Fei blushed: "Actually, this is Yumiya's excessive praise for me! Yes, I... have my own company in Japan, of course, it's very small. There are very few people... working with me. It's probably doing some work in the cultural industry. Well, that's probably that."
"A company that can produce film works like "Naruto Theater Edition" can even enter the American film market for screening. I don't think this is a very small company, and a few people can do it, right? Not to mention being the leader of these people? Oh, by the way, I heard Ms. Arimiya talk to me about your theory about 'on the road'! Do you really think so?"
"She even told you this?" Ai Fei was surprised.
"Answer my question. Mr. Ike, as a gentleman who respects ladies very much, isn't this supposed to be?"
"Well, if you must know, yes, I have said this before, and so far, this is my criterion." Ai Fei nodded: "The so-called on-the-road is just a feeling of pursuit. Miss Kelly, don't you think the pleasure of a lady movie like you or an advertising work during the shooting is much greater than the pleasure that comes after the official completion?"
Grace recalled her experience seriously and shook her head slightly: "Sorry, I can't agree with your statement. For me, I'd rather enjoy the pleasure you mentioned in your mouth and after the official completion."
"This is normal." Ai Fei was disturbed by her words and lost his sleepiness: "Because you have experienced very little, at least, never achieved success completely with your own strength. Otherwise, you can understand what I said."
Grace slowly tied up her blonde like a cloud and became a small wrinkle, and her face turned a little cold: "What do you mean is that I'm still very childish, right?"
"These are two things." Ai Fei looked directly at her clear blue eyes: "It can only be said that you have very little life experience. Too many successes and things that are too easy to obtain can greatly satisfy your needs materially, but on the spiritual level, it seems that something is missing."
"Mr. Ike, I'm a little tired and want to rest."
Such a mindless sentence made Ai Fei a little stunned, but he stood up politely: "Then, I won't disturb you to rest. Good night."
"Good night."
Although I slept very late yesterday, Ai Fei still got up early. The room was very warm and I couldn't feel the coldness of winter. He was wearing only a vest and a pair of shorts and didn't feel cold at all. His hair, which had just taken a shower, was wet and dripping on his forehead. His eyes were bright and bright, and he was humming songs that no one had ever heard of in this era while making breakfast for himself.
For a long time, Yumiya Jingzi was serving his daily life, making Ai Fei become more and more stupid. It turned out that the simple job of frying a poached egg was easy to get, but now it was a mess: I don’t know where Yumiya put the salt? When he found the salt jar, the eggs were already fried black!
Not only that, the entire kitchen made him feel like a fog filled with heavy oil smoke. Ai Fei coughed and blinked, quickly turned off the fire and ran to the living room outside: "Ga?"
He suddenly appeared in the living room, which scared the three people who had just walked into the door. Looking at his half-body look, Arimiya Iko was fine, and she had seen it in Japan. Grace and Mr. Nicki unnaturally moved their eyes away: "I'm sorry, are we... not the time?"
"Kitchen..." Yugong coughed a few times: "What are you doing?"
"Fried egg." Ai Fei scratched his head childishly: "Ah, I'm sorry, I'm not wearing clothes yet! Please wait!"
Only then did Grace begin to notice his body, which was different from that of Westerners. His body looked very round, and his extremely well-developed skin showed a light pink under the rising sun. In addition to the masculine beauty, there was a kind of female softness and tenderness. This was the first time she saw a man actually having such a body! He wanted someone to change his skin with his!
Ai Fei waved his hands randomly: "Miss Kelly, Mr. Nicky, please sit down, I'll go... change clothes in the clothes in the room."
As soon as he ran upstairs, Yugong Jingzi flashed out of the kitchen with a look of lawsuit, and kept coughing: "What are you doing? Xiao Ai Jun...oh? Where is Xiao Ai Jun?"
"He went upstairs to get dressed." Nicky explained with a smile, "You can't let him entertain guests like this, right?"
As he was talking, Ai Fei walked down the stairs and bowed to apologize: "I'm sorry, I was too rude just now... Yugong, why are you glaring at me?"
With guests present, Yumiya was really not angry with him, so she had to glar at him fiercely, then turned around and walked into the kitchen to prepare drinks for the guests.
Ai Fei smiled awkwardly: "Miss Kelly, Mr. Nicky, please sit down."
Several people sat down in the living room, and Grace looked at him with a smile: "I was going to come here a little later, but Ms. Ariko seems not to feel relieved that you are alone, so I won't disturb you from rest, right?"
"No, no. I'm used to sleeping for a very short time a day."
"Yes. Ms. Aiguchi told us that you seem to be using a very special method to rest every day? You only sleep for 30 minutes every two hours?"
"15 minutes." Ai Fei corrected her: "In fact, as long as you can persist, everyone can do it. For example, I will fall asleep after a long time of adaptation."
As a man, Nicky seems more interested in such a question: “Don’t such a resting method…were people tired?”
"No. And it can greatly save a lot of wasted rest time and increase work efficiency to a greater extent. Anyway, I personally feel that I have never felt sad or depressed the next day because of this rest method. Nicky would also try it if she wanted. Of course, at the beginning, it would be better to have someone around you who can be responsible for waking you up. If you do this a few times, your body will gradually adapt."
While talking, Yumiya Iko came out with a drink. There was the coffee prepared for Nicky and the orange juice prepared for Grace, but there was no Ai Fei. Facing the latter's puzzled eyes, Yumiya curled her lips: "Have you used breakfast yet?"
"..." Ai Fei scratched his head embarrassedly: "Wait a minute, is there a lady here?"
