Ome Quartet of Snow Country

Chapter 360
The sunshine in the rainy season is always short-lived. Even if there was no cloud the day before, it may rain heavily the next morning.

The rain lasted for several days, and Haixing always felt that the house had a musty smell.

Mentioned it to Dad at the breakfast table, and he nodded too.

"When the weather clears, let's tidy up everything inside and out... The roof should also be checked by someone. The upstairs room where Chunhai used to live seems to be a little leaky."

The room hadn't been occupied since he moved out, and it was pretty much reduced to a utility room now.

Hai Xing was stunned for a moment, then asked:

"What should I do with the things in there, should I throw them away?"

Seiichiro Maki thought for a while, then nodded.

"Throw away the things you don't need. Sooner or later, you have to clean up."

Hai Xing took a bite of his meal, but didn't speak.

"By the way, there seems to be some things that Chunhai left behind in the room. Haixing should go and ask him if he wants any more."

"what is this……"

"Toys or something."

"Then he definitely doesn't want it... No, I'd better ask."

After taking a few mouthfuls of rice, Hai Xing wiped his mouth.

"I'm done eating."

After packing the bento, she picked up her schoolbag and her umbrella.

During the recent period, even if it is sunny in the morning, you have to bring an umbrella, not to mention that it is raining happily outside at this time.

"I am leaving."

"Be careful on the road."

clack clack clack -

As soon as the umbrella was opened, the rain played.

Before it was too late, Starfish walked slowly forward while carefully avoiding the hidden "mine" bricks on the sidewalk.

"ah--"

She just stepped on it without paying attention.

The sewage splashed between the bricks instantly stained her thighs. After so many days of rain, the water inside was not dirty, but it still made her sick for a while.

"Really..."

Starfish stomped its feet angrily, and the bricks on the other side were also loose...

"Yeah—really—"

She turned around and ran home.

"starfish?"

"I'll wash it..."

Taking down the shower head, Haixing lifted her skirt, rinsed off the water stains on her legs, wiped them off a little, and went out as soon as possible.

When I came to the bus platform, the last light to go out had already passed.

"Good morning."

Hikaru Takikawa waved his hand to greet her, then raised his chin in the direction she came from.

"If the starfish comes later, it will have to run after the bus."

"..."

Starfish turned around, only to find that the bus had already come.

"so close……"

"Get up a little earlier."

"I... I'll tell you when I get off the car, I'm so mad."

I hurried into the car, found a seat and sat down, my legs were still wet.

She took out a tissue and wiped it slowly.

"Did you splash any water?" Morimi, who was sitting next to him, asked.

"Hmm... I stepped on a 'landmine', I washed it at home, but I stepped on it again on the way here..."

Sen Jian looked at her sympathetically, and continued:

"When it rains, let's go directly to the road below. Two idlers cleaned up the drains on this road after school a few days ago, and now there is no water on the road when it rains."

And one of the idlers was sitting in front of them and turned his head to take a look.

"Who are you talking about?"

"What do you think... where are you looking?"

"..."

Even though he was caught, Naruse still gave Mori a glance.

He was just attracted by Starfish's movement of rubbing his legs, and looked down a little.

But Haixing lowered her head and didn't speak, her face was a little red, she continued to wipe her legs, and then pulled up her skirt seemingly inadvertently.

"What's wrong?" Shang Zi also turned around.

"fine."

Naruse quickly turned around and put his arms around her shoulders again.

"What are you doing with the skirt so high? It didn't splash here." Mori saw that Hai Xing's uniform skirt was pulled down a little, "Be careful of being seen."

"I've seen it all." Hikari Takikawa, who was sitting on the other side of the aisle, said with a smile.

"If only we could fill in those floor tiles that splash water."

"Aha, that project is a bit big..."

The bus was shaking, the rain was still falling outside, and the people in the bus were chattering around without saying a word.

"Next week, it seems that an intern from the Department of Education will come to Tianjin High School to teach."

"Are there any second graders?"

"Every grade has it, and it's only three days."

clack clack clack -

A sudden gust of wind blew all the rain onto the car windows, slapping them constantly.

"Wow, it's windy... I hope it doesn't blow up suddenly when I get off the car."

Naruse stared out the window for a while, "It seems to be raining heavily too."

Shangzi sighed, "Get out of the car and walk to school, your shoes must be wet again..."

"In my old house, there was a warehouse in the yard that was leaking so badly," Mori said.

Hikaru Takikawa looked over, "Is it all right?"

"It's okay, there are unnecessary things in it."

But listening to the conversation between the two of them, Hai Xing was reminded, and told Naruse who was sitting in front of him what his father told him in the morning.

"My stuff?"

He looked back at her, "That room on the second floor?"

"Yes."

"Is there anything else that you didn't take with you?"

"Dad said it was a toy or something. I put it in another place before, but after I found it, I put it in that room."

"..."

Naruse blinked, and was in a daze for a while.

"I see... After school, I'll go to your house to see."

"it is good."

He quickly turned back and whispered something to Shangzi.

After staring at the back of his head for a while, Hai Xing turned his eyes and found that Hikari Takikawa, who was sitting on the other side, was also looking at him, a little lost in thought.

And the latter quickly noticed her gaze.

"It's been many years since Chunhai moved into Haixing's house, and now." Takikawa said with a smile.

"Yes."

Is it reminiscing about the past...

Across the starfish, Morimi glanced at her calmly, and quickly looked away.

For no reason, she was a little annoyed and irritable, and looked out the window again.

The rain gathered in streams and flowed down the glass windows, obscuring the ever-receding view outside.

Amidst the wind and rain, the bus continued to drive, and it didn't take long to send this car of students to the station.

"It's a good thing it's not raining heavily, so let's go."

A few people came to the school stepping on the rain, went upstairs and separated, and went to their respective classes.

The rain stopped at noon, but the sky was still cloudy, making people ignore the passage of time.

When I came back to my senses, it was already the time when school was over in the afternoon.

After looking at the weather forecast and judging the weather with the naked eye, it was estimated that it would not rain in a few hours, so Naruse and Hai Xing took the bus back first.

The two hadn't been alone for a long time.

On the bus home, when Naruse was seated first, Hai Xing hesitated for a while, but he still didn't sit next to him, but sat behind him.

He tilted his head slightly, "There shouldn't be many things."

"I don't know... Dad said it."

Naruse nodded, fearing that she might not notice, he responded again.

"Let's go and have a look."

"It might be a little messy inside..."

"It's turned into a utility room, right?"

"Um……"

He let out a slow breath.

"Time flies so fast."

Starfish lowered its eyes and did not speak.

After more than 20 minutes, the two returned to Qingliu.Naruse didn't go home either, and followed Haixing directly to her house.

"Chunhai is here."

"Mr. Seiichiro."

After saying hello to Seiichiro Maki, the two went upstairs, Naruse opened the door of the room that used to belong to him, and a musty smell came over his face.

"The musty smell is a bit heavy."

"Well... this room is a little leaky."

Naruse looked up and turned on the light again. The corner of the ceiling was a bit darker, and that should be where the rain leaked.

"Father said that after the weather clears, we should find someone to take a look." Hai Xing said behind him.

"Does this room need to be cleaned out?"

"I don't know... I will tidy up a little bit."

Naruse didn't say anything, put down his schoolbag at the door, and walked in.

The room has everything.

Cardboard boxes and waste furniture are placed randomly, and there are piled up all kinds of things that can be thrown at random, such as pictorials of tired stars, curtains that have been replaced, and even old pajamas that have not been worn. .

"..."

Recognizing the pink dress in his hand, Hai Xing quickly grabbed it and stuffed it into another cardboard box beside him.

Naruse glanced at it, a little helpless, "There are so many boxes and sundries, how do I know where are my things?"

"I do not know either."

He looked back at her, "You asked me to come over, you didn't ask me to clean up, did you?"

Starfish didn't know what to say, so he could only bury his head in helping to find it.

Looking around in the room, Naruse looked at her again, and had no choice but to continue searching.

In order to improve efficiency, he simply helped to clean up.

"Look at the contents of the box. If you can still use it, put it by the door. If you don't need it, put it outside, and throw it away later."

"Oh oh."

Sooner or later, the room has to be tidied up, Hai Xing is happy to be his "deputy", she will do whatever he says.

And when he was picking and picking in the box, he would look at it first, and then hand it over to her to decide whether to keep it or throw it away.

Until he picks up a notebook.

【X month X, week X, raining

Chunhai moved out, and we broke up. 】
