Ome Quartet of Snow Country

Chapter 300 Close Call
After having dinner at Hana's house, Naruse didn't go back to his home directly, but stayed there chatting with Hana and his wife for a while.

"...Learning motorcycles is mainly for the convenience of commuting. I am not interested in drag racing."

"Compared to cars, motorcycles have too little protection, and the speed is so fast...Safety comes first."

"I think so too," Naruse said.

This flower also nodded, and asked again: "How are you doing now?"

"In about half a month, I will be able to get a driver's license."

"I remember that in the first year when I got my motorcycle driver's license, I couldn't carry people."

Naruse opened his mouth, "Hmm..."

"Chunhai definitely won't just wait until the full year is over before bringing someone in." Said Kazuko Kazuko next to him.

"what……"

He gave a dry laugh.

"No matter how confident you are in your own skills, you must be careful. With Shangzi, Chunhai is responsible for the safety of the two of them."

Naruse solemnly nodded.

"I promise."

Konoka Sawako smiled and asked him to relax a little.

"Speaking of which, your mother seems to be very busy recently. You can see her news everywhere. It seems that you have gone to Osaka again in the past two days?"

Naruse nodded, "The new drama is released, and there are many commercial activities to participate in... and the special episode will also start soon."

"It's so fast, do you want to connect directly after the broadcast of the episode?"

"probably."

"Big stars are really busy...the next time we meet, it will probably be time for Chinese New Year again."

Konoka Sawako sighed with emotion.

Shangzi sat aside, suddenly got up and went to the kitchen.After a while, a plate of cut fruits came over.

"Thank you~ Shangzi should sit by Chunhai's side, his eyes are almost glued to your body."

"..."

Shangzi pursed her lower lip, and sat next to Naruse.

"Do you have any plans for Spring Sea Golden Week? During the eight-day holiday, stay at the training center?" Zuo Huazi asked again.

"That's not true." Naruse shook his head, "I'm going to visit Morioka for a few days."

"Morioka...the hot spring in Gosho Lake is very good. Toruya and I went there once more than ten years ago, and I miss it a bit."

"That's one of the places I plan to go."

"So……"

Hana Zuohezi looked at him and his daughter, "Shangzi and Chunhai are the only ones going?"

"Everyone go together. Hikari's grandmother's house is also there, and she is familiar with Morioka." Naruse said.

"..."

Shangzi glanced at him quickly, but didn't speak.

"Ah, by the way, Mrs. Takikawa is from Morioka."

Hana Zuohezi turned her head to look at her husband, not noticing the change in her daughter's expression, "Do you still remember the few years when she was just married..."

Listening to the couple talking about the old news more than ten years ago, Naruse didn't stay long, and went home after eating a few pieces of fruit.

Shangzi escorted him to the door, and in the blind spot out of sight of the living room, Naruse suddenly grabbed her and kissed her deeply for a while.

"what……"

When he let go again, Shangzi was breathing heavily, and his chest was throbbing.

Turning her head to look at the other side of the living room, she came up again and kissed him on the cheek.

"Good night." Naruse squeezed her hand.

"Um……"

As soon as he turned around, Shangzi grabbed him again.

"Harukai said just now that everyone is going to Morioka together..."

"Of course not."

She let go of her hand, waved it again, and looked at him.

"Good night."

Back at home with only himself, Naruse sat on the sofa and stared blankly for a while.

When he was about to go upstairs to his room, he remembered that he hadn't taken a shower yet, so he turned and went to the bathroom.

When he came out of the bath, there were several missed calls on the mobile phone left on the sofa, all of which were from Song Qianqiu.

Wiping his hair, he dialed it back and turned on the speakerphone.

The call got through quickly.

"Have you done something bad?"

"Ah."

Song Qianqiu smiled, "Guess where I am."

"Osaka."

"what……"

"I heard what Aunt Sawako said."

"Huh? Sawako is back too."

"Well, I came back yesterday afternoon."

Naruse crossed his legs, changed his hand and continued to wipe his hair, "It is said that there are three days of vacation."

"That's great." Song Qianqiu sighed, "I don't have a day off, and I'm going to Kyoto tomorrow morning."

"Osaka to Kyoto, isn't it just a blink of an eye."

"The activities in the morning cannot be solved in the blink of an eye."

"Thanks for your hard work."

Matsu Chiaki went on to talk about how delicious the Kobe beef I ate tonight, and how presumptuous the assistant lady ate without paying the bill. After Naruse's hair was almost dry, he asked:

"Are you going to come out to play during the Spring Sea Golden Week?"

"Going to practice driving."

"Well……"

Song Qianqiu has always held an attitude of not opposing but not supporting him learning motorcycles. He always feels that it is not safe, but he understands that too much worry makes him tired of listening, so he didn't say much.

"Just practice driving?"

"By the way, go to Morioka for a few days."

"Morioka...that's fine too. Are you with everyone?"

Naruse responded vaguely.

Song Qianqiu didn't think much about it, "Then you guys have fun."

"I will."

After chatting for a while, Song Qianqiu hung up the phone.

Putting down the phone, looking at the empty living room, Naruse suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

Back in the room, the opposite window was lit up for a long time, and Shang Zi lay down beside the window after the light was lit on his side.

She waved her hand and asked in a voice small enough for him to hear:
"Is Chunhai going to sleep?"

"Where can I sleep so early."

"Me too……"

"I'm going to read a book for a while."

"Yeah." Shangzi raised the puppet in his hand, "I'll continue to make this."

Naruse returned to the desk, picked up a study of foreign religions and cultures that he hadn't read before, and read it from the beginning.

After turning two pages, the phone suddenly rang.

"..."

It was Shangzi's voice call.

He got through.

"There is no sound at all, it feels too quiet..."

"I think so."

"Will you disturb Chunhai's reading?"

"will not."

"That's good."

He continued to read, listening to the occasional page-turning sound from his mobile phone, and she also continued to sew puppets.

"Are Shangzi's parents asleep?"

"Well, I just went back to my room."

Otherwise, she wouldn't have come this morning.

"My mother called just now."

"yes."

"She was in Osaka, showing off that she had eaten delicious Kobe beef."

Shangzi smiled.

"Kobe beef is so expensive...the price at the store I went to last time was scary."

"Yes."

"I can't tell the difference either."

"Maybe the taste is better, for people with a tricky mouth... I can't feel it either."

"By the way, mom and dad also brought some beef back from the research institute. Let's use that meat for tomorrow's lunch."

Tomorrow's bento refers to the bento he had for lunch at the training center.

"it is good."

After chatting for a few more words, Shangzi suddenly asked:

"Which color does Chunhai think looks better?"

"Ok?"

"Look at the window."

Leaning back, he looked at the opposite window, where Shangzi held two pieces of fabric of different colors in his hand.

"The one on the left. I think the color on the left is milder, and the blue on the right has a cheap feeling."

"Good~"

The two returned to their original positions and continued to chat on the phone.

"Tomorrow is also one class in the morning and two classes in the afternoon."

"Ah."

"By the way, what's the name of that female college student who was at the same time as Chun Hai?"

"I don't know, I never asked."

"Didn't she come to ask for Chunhai's contact information?"

"She asked her, and it has nothing to do with me...they stay together in the classroom, and go to the field to practice separately."

"Like This."

Time passed slowly.

When Shangzi on the other end of the phone showed sleepiness, Naruse only read a small part of the book in his hand.

It's really too hard to chew...

He threw the books aside and continued to put them together with those books that were difficult to read.

"It's time to sleep."

"Well--"

She seemed to stretch.

"it is good."

The two came to the window again and saw the last time before going to bed.

She waved her hand, "Don't hang up."

"Ah."

Turn off the light, lie down on the bed, and lean on each other's breath in the dark silence, the two of them closed their eyes one after another.

"Good night."
