Awakening Chapter 221.1

After exiting the airport, looking at the somewhat pale Naoko, Lei Yin could not help but a bit worry, “Are you exhausted?”

Naoko smiled and shook her head, and then said: “I am okay, just having some air sickness, I’ll be fine in just a while.”

Lei Yin was not a.s.sured, so he said: “Let’s sit in the lounge for a minute, and then we can ride the bus to the hotel.”

“No, I am really fine.”

“Behave.” With that, with right hand carrying the luggage and left hand holding her slender waist, Lei Yin walked to the airport lounge with Naoko.

Feeling the thoughtfulness of her sweetheart, Naoko’s heart was both touched and filled with sweetness. She leaned her head on his shoulder while putting her arms around his waist.

At this time the man responsible for the reception noticed that Naoko walked away instead of walking to his side, so he immediately ran over and said: “Miss Hase, our bus will soon arrive, please come with me, okay?”

Before Naoko could answer, Lei Yin said to him: “My girlfriend is a bit uncomfortable, I want to take her to the lounge to take a break. After a moment, we will go to the hotel, you don’t have to wait for us.”

“Are you okay, miss Naoko?” That man really saw her pale face.

“Thank you for your concern, Mr. Maruyama, I just need to rest for a bit.” Naoko politely answered him.

“If so, then we will go first, if there’s anything then please contact me.”

“Thank you, Mr. Maruyama.”

When Maruyama returned to the gathering point, a 35-36-year-old man asked him: “Mr. Maruyama, what happens to Miss Hase?”

“It’s like this Mr. Iketsu, Miss Hase Naoko does not feel well, so she wants to go to the airport lounge to take a break. After a minute, they will go by car to the hotel to meet with us.”

“It turns out to be so.” Iketsu looked up at the figure that just walked into the lounge.

Then, came the voice of a young man from the side, “Sure enough, a beautiful woman’s body is relatively weak. Tsk, unexpectedly, this recently very popular female columnist ‘Shimizu’ (Clear water) is very beautiful. If I knew, I’d go after her.” This was a tall lanky man who wore gla.s.ses.

“It’s not too late. What’s wrong, are you afraid? Oh, this is not like your character at all, Murai.” A buxom woman interrupted from the side.

“Who says I am afraid? But, what you said make sense, in any case, she just has a boyfriend and not yet married. Besides, her boyfriend is very average.” Murai who wore gla.s.ses said while touching his chin.

“How come the car has not come yet? I am really tired of waiting.” A 40-something, heavily makeup woman complained from the side.

“Miss Aso, please wait a moment, it should come very soon.” Maruyama, who was responsible for the reception, immediately said with a smile.

“Every year it’s like this, can’t you improve your work efficiency a little bit?” The woman surnamed Aso very impatiently said.

“I am sorry, next time we will pay attention to it.”

“You say that same thing every year, but it’s still the same.”

Maruyama had to keep apologizing.

“Forget it. Let me ask you, this year why would you include that woman, who does not have a qualification as a writer and who just put a few articles in the magazine, with us?” Aso asked.

“Do you mean miss Hase?”

“Still trying to be stupid, in addition to her who else?”

“It’s like this, Miss Hase Naoko’s essays in the magazine column are getting more and more popular with women readers, so our president decided to invite her to attend this meeting.”

Aso sneered. “Humph, she’s nothing more than a newcomer who just made her debut, I want to see how long she can stay popular.”

Hearing this conversation, standing not far away, Akagi Miho whispered to Iketsu and Murai: “That woman is really here. I really admire her cheekiness. She’s already forty years old, yet every year she still partic.i.p.ates in the young writer’s conference.”

“There’s nothing we can do, she is the wife of the former president, so the current president has to give her some face.” Murai spread out his hands and said. “I heard that the former president divorced her. Is this true?” Iketsu b.u.t.ted in.

“Who knows, but with that gra.s.s-is-always-greener-on-the-other-side personality of that old goat, it is not impossible. In those days, that old guy really liked to grope me, but fortunately, he retired early because of that matter.” Akagi Miho gleefully said.

Watching Akagi Miho’s plump figure, Murai could not help but swallow a bit of his saliva.

Finally, the bus came to pick them up, so this group of more than 20 popular or semi-popular young writers from Tokyo entered the bus one by one.

When the Autumn came, the weather began to turn cold. The Young Writers a.s.sociation has arranged a very special place for their accommodations not far from Nagoya, in a hotel in Gifu County where there was an Onsen next to it.

Regarding this arrangement, most people were very satisfied, only Aso who complained about not staying in a proper hotel instead of an old-fashioned one.

After more than twenty minutes of rest in the airport lounge, Naoko said to Lei Yin: “Lei, I’m fine now.”

Seeing her face has returned to normal, Lei Yin, feeling relieved, took her out of the airport to go by bus.

On the bus to the hotel, Naoko leaned on his shoulder and said: “Lei, I am really happy.”

Lei Yin bowed and kissed her forehead, “If you think those people are too noisy, we’ll move to another hotel. Anyway, there’re plenty of hotels here.”

Naoko did not speak, just quietly looking at him. After a while, with blushing cheeks, she suddenly extended her neck and kissed his lips, and then she withdrew her head back into his arms.

Lei Yin smiled and gently stroked her hair on the back of her neck.
