Ome Quartet of Snow Country

Chapter 324 Absence
Naruse was not surprised that he didn't see Hikaru Takikawa at the bus platform in the morning, because she would occasionally go to school an hour earlier to participate in the early training of the basketball team.

Not showing up all morning is also very common.

Until noon, she didn't come over to eat lunch together as usual, and they felt something was wrong.

Senjian sent her a message, got a reply after a while, and turned to look at several companions.

"Guang didn't come to school today."

"Why?" Naruse asked.

Mori Jian glanced at the latest news received again, "It is said that he is not feeling well."

"are you sick."

"Probably, she didn't go into details, so let's go to her house after school to have a look."

"it is good."

buzz-

"She said no need to go."

"He actually refused you to visit, it seems that he is seriously ill."

"Then do you want to go?"

"of course."

The daytime passed quickly, and in the afternoon, several people practiced until about five o'clock, gathered together again, and then left the school.

"Let's buy some souvenirs." When passing by the dessert shop, Naruse dragged Shangzi in, picked and bought some desserts.

Seeing that he bought a lot, Mori Jian patted his bag, "Then my condolences are today's class notes."

"This is the poison of death."

"Then what should I buy?"

"So be it."

Back in Aoyagi, the four of them came to Takikawa's house together.

After ringing the doorbell, Mrs. Takikawa quickly came to answer the door with a subtle expression on her face.

"Everyone is here."

Naruse was pushed to the front.

"...Yes, let's take a look at the light situation."

"Come in, she's lying in the room."

"It's a little sympathy."

"Oh, that's too polite."

Mrs. Takikawa took Naruse's condolences and called the children to go up first, "Go upstairs first, I'll pour the drinks."

Several people filed in, and when they came upstairs, Naruse was pulled to the back again. Mori saw him and knocked on the door, and was the first to go in after getting a response.

"It's okay, just put on your clothes, come in."

Naruse was then let in.

Hikaru Takikawa was lying on the bed, wearing pajamas, and it seemed that he hadn't gotten up all day.

And looking at her face, there is nothing wrong.

"What's the matter, do you have a cold?" Mori asked as he sat on the edge of the bed.

She smiled at them.

"It's okay, just a little uncomfortable."

Morimi touched her forehead.

"The temperature is quite normal... I thought I caught a cold during the drive yesterday afternoon."

"Haha, I'm not that weak."

"Can I go to school tomorrow?" Naruse asked.

She didn't speak, stretched her arms and kicked her legs on the bed, tensed her body again, and stretched a long way.

"Lying at home feels so comfortable."

Naruse raised his eyebrows, and what else to say, Mrs. Takikawa came up, carrying drinks and the desserts he brought.

"Let's eat together."

Shangzi brought over the low table placed aside, and several people sat down around it.

"You get up too."

Mrs. Takikawa put down her things and went downstairs as soon as she reminded her daughter. Hikari Takikawa sat up quickly.

"Anything?"

"Pudding and cakes." Shangzi said.

"Ah, I want to eat."

"Eat in bed?"

She got off the bed and sat down at the low table too.

After digging a spoonful of small cakes and putting them into her mouth, she closed her eyes and let out an exaggerated sigh of satisfaction.

"Well—it's delicious~"

Naruse glanced at her, "Are you really sick? Why do you look more energetic than the three of them?"

She just smiled, leaned back against her bed, and dug another spoonful of cake.

"You eat too."

"..."

Shangzi looked at Naruse, he took a sip of juice without saying anything.

Several people also ate the desserts on the table.

After staying for about 10 minutes, Naruse took Shangzi, said hello, and went back first.

"I still have to go to the supermarket to buy ingredients today."

"Goodbye." Takikawa Hikaru waved to Shangzi.

His piece of cake was completely untouched, Hai Xing stared at it twice, and Morimi directly brought the plate in front of her.

"Eat it, or it's a waste."

"Yes." Takikawa Hikaru also smiled, "Eat the starfish."

"Um……"

Under the gaze of the two, she picked up the spoon again and scooped up the cake.

"Will the 'illness' get better tomorrow?" Mori Jian asked suddenly.

Takikawa smiled.

"Who knows."

"Are you mad at him?"

"..."

Feeling that something was wrong with the atmosphere, Hai Xing looked up at them.

The two looked at each other in silence for a few seconds, and Morimi picked up his cup.

"What happened yesterday?"

"No. Ah, starfish, let me have a bite too."

"Ah good……"

She reached out with her spoon and scooped a small piece of her cake.

Mori Jian took a sip of the juice, fell silent for a while, and looked at the two of them.

The other two quickly divided up the rest of the cake.

"It tastes really good."

"The price is also very expensive to say..."

Hikaru Takikawa looked down at the empty plate in front of him, "Harukai probably bought it."

"Ah."

"I knew it……"

"Did you quarrel?" Hai Xing asked suddenly.

"..."

Hikaru Takikawa opened his eyes wide, then smiled, "No."

"Is it because Chunhai refused to go to Shisanhe together yesterday?" Haixing continued to ask.

"It's Thirteen Lakes."

Mori Jian corrected her first, and then asked, "What's going on?"

"Oh……"

Hikaru Takikawa leaned back, trying to fool him with a smile, but Morimi kept staring at her, so she had no choice but to confess.

"Just like what Haixing said, I wanted to ask Chunhai to ride a bike to Thisan Lake to have a look, but he refused."

"So you're just angry?"

"I'm not angry..."

"Who are you lying to? You refused to say a word to him just now."

"..."

She began to hide it with a smile again.

"Well, it's impossible to say that I'm not angry at all... But there's only a little bit of anger."

"Then why don't you go to school today?"

"Hey, is it just pretending to be sick?" Hai Xing finally realized.

"..."

Senjian glanced at her, then at the empty plate on the table, "The cake is finished too, Haixing should go back first."

"Don't go." Takigawa Hikaru grabbed her.

"Light……"

Hai Xing looked at her, and then at Sen Jian.

"I can't handle Ichiyo alone." Takikawa Hikari said with a smile.

"..."

Sen Jian stared at her for a while, sighed, and didn't ask too much about the reason for her absence.

"Can I go to school tomorrow?"

Hikaru Takikawa leaned back against the edge of the bed, raised his head, and looked at the ceiling of his room.

She's been staring at it all day.

"I can't cheer up."

Sen Jian looked at her: "Everyone will slack off for a while occasionally, it's nothing, just cheer up."

"What is the probability of chance?" Takikawa Hikari asked suddenly.

Sen Jian was taken aback.

"Occasionally... just occasionally."

"The two accidental collisions can still be considered accidental, right?"

"..."

Seeing helplessness, Sen asked, "Do you still want to stay at home?"

Hikaru Takikawa smiled, and said the same thing just now.

"I can't cheer up."

Morimi and Haixing stayed for a while and left together.

"Patient" Takikawa sent them downstairs, stood at the door for a while, and then lay down on the sofa in the living room.

Mrs. Takikawa came over, picked up a freshly washed cherry, and stuffed it into her daughter's mouth.

"Monk Chunhai just sat downstairs for a while before going back."

"yes."

She was not angry with him, or rather, anger was only a momentary thing.

"Ah, the cherries are delicious."

"It was also brought by Chunhai."

She's just... more at a loss.
