Ome Quartet of Snow Country

Chapter 383
Chao Yueming drove the pickup truck back and forth twice, and finally stopped for a while, staying to look at the stall.

As a result, Naruse was able to get away and go to other places, and learn from it by the way.

Of course Starfish followed him.

But after walking a few steps, both of them were attracted by the things on the roadside stalls again, and suddenly understood Chao Yueming's unfulfilled mood after dragging two carts of things back.

"What is this, what a strange mask..."

Hai Xing squatted down, but his hat was caught by the backpack of a passerby beside him, and his blond hair fell apart, "Ah."

Naruse grabbed the hat, apologized to the surprised passers-by who turned around, and pressed the hat to her head.

"They said your hat was too big."

"..."

Hai Xing pouted, raised the brim of his hat, and picked up the strange mask on the booth.

"Look at this, is it an Indian mask?"

"Where did you see that this is Indian style?"

"Uh...like."

Naruse suspected she only knew the name.

And the stall owner also said at this time: "This is the mask of the Ainu people."

Naruse wasn't interested in it at first, but when he heard that it belonged to the Ainu people, he looked a few more times.

"Did you buy it from Hokkaido?"

"Yes."

The stall owner nodded, "This is a handicraft made by the Ainu people, and it has a high collection value."

Naruse smiled, but didn't respond.

He squatted down, picked up the mask that was more than two circles bigger than his head, and compared it on his face.

"It's too big." Starfish said.

"Buy it, it matches your hat very well."

"No, like a fool..."

Both of them didn't want it, just took a few glances, and then put it back.

The stall owner didn't care, and continued to greet the next person who seemed interested in his stuff.

Continue to walk forward, passing a tent, with several rows of hangers underneath, full of various styles of clothes, like a temporary clothing store.

However, the prices of clothes are very cheap, and they are all autumn and winter coats, and there are no seasonal clothes.

Seeing Haixing staring at it, Naruse stopped, "Do you want to take a look?"

"Oh, no need..."

She shook her head immediately, "It's nothing else, I don't want to wear clothes that others don't want."

Naruse looked at her, "My mother gave you a few coats that she didn't fit last year, you were very happy."

"That's different..."

He just said it casually without asking what was different, "Go and see the bookstall over there."

Hai Xing quickly followed, and when he squatted down in front of the booth, he also stood behind him.

On the bookstall was a piece of corrugated paper probably torn from a cardboard box, with the price written on it.

【All one hundred yen】

"It's a hundred yen for such a thick book?" Naruse picked up a thick copy of "War and Peace".

The stall owner nodded, "Yes, it's all one hundred yen."

"It's really cheap."

He turned his head and said to Hai Xing: "You have a black-hearted ancient book shop, such a thick book, at least [-] yen."

"..."

Haixing laughed dryly, "I want to tell Yiye."

He raised his eyebrows, turned around and continued flipping through other books.

Hai Xing took out his phone, only to find that there was an unread message, which was sent more than an hour ago.

Staying by his side all the time, she didn't even bother to touch the phone.

"..."

And the message was sent by Yiye.

After flipping through a few books that he had read, Naruse scanned the booth and found that it was difficult to find a book he hadn't read.

The ones that are sold are basically classics that have been read by anyone who has read a little.

Apart from lamenting that a classic is a classic, Naruse doesn't know what to say.

Looking at the price on the side again, he took out his phone, paused, and put it away again.

Subconsciously, he wanted to take a photo and send it to the daughter of the bookstore as a topic.

"Let's go."

Taking a deep breath, Naruse stood up and found that Haixing was holding the phone with a complicated expression on his face.

"what happened?"

"……nothing."

She put away her mobile phone, "Don't you buy any of them?"

"Any book here, you can find the same in my house, even if you can't find it upstairs, you can definitely find it in the study downstairs."

"It's amazing." Hai Xing squeezed a perfunctory smile.

Naruse vaguely guessed something, but didn't ask, and continued to walk forward.

Yiye: Has Starfish gone out?

"..."

Looking at the message again and not knowing how to reply, Hai Xing put away his phone and continued to follow him closely.

Walking around and watching, the time came to noon. Although the bustle was still there, I could still feel that there were fewer people in the park.

It's time to eat.

"Are you hungry?" Naruse turned around and asked.

"Ah, I'm fine..."

"Really, then you can go shopping for a while, I'm going to eat."

"..."

Hai Xing was stunned, and quickly caught up with him again, thumping his back.

After a while, Naruse didn't turn his head back, "To be honest, it's fine if you're hungry, you will suffer sooner or later."

She muttered something, but he didn't catch it.

"what?"

"nothing!"

Back at Chao Yueming's booth, he pointed them to places to eat nearby, and said that he wasn't that hungry yet, so he could go there when they came back.

"Then we'll be back as soon as possible."

"Ah."

The two left the park, settled for lunch at the restaurant that Chao Yueming mentioned, and soon returned to the flea market where there were fewer people.

Chao Yueming then went to eat, and after walking a few steps, she suddenly turned around and said, "Tonight, I invite you to dinner."

Hai Xing was stunned for a moment, while Naruse smiled, "Can I bring my girlfriend?"

He looked at Starfish.

"...not her."

"can."

After Chao Yueming left, Hai Xing thought about it and said, "I won't go... After it's over, you can take me home first."

"The Shangzi asked what to do."

"Shangzi doesn't know...you told her?"

"What do you think."

"why?"

Naruse looked over, and said the same words: "What do you think?"

"..."

Starfish pursed her lips.

"I do not want to go."

"That's fine too."

She insisted on going back, and he would not object.

Seeing that he agreed so easily, Hai Xing was a little annoyed, squinting at the booth next to him, sulking alone.

At noon, it was probably the most deserted period after today's flea market started.

People from several booths next to it came and went, and at a certain moment, there were only two of them left in this area.

The wind blows, the white clouds float, and the sun comes and goes.

Sometimes they were in shadows, and sometimes they were in a shadow too big to see.

"Summer is coming."

"Huh?...Is that so?"

Naruse looked at Haixing, then looked outside again.

"It doesn't feel like summer is coming at all...even though it's almost July."

"It's getting hot."

"Is this considered hot?"

"It counts in our Aomori."

Naruse looked at her again, "I am also from Aomori."

The small bench was a bit short, Haixing hugged her knees, and the white skirt was pressed underneath.

"Yiye sent me a message in the morning."

"...Really, what did she say?"

"Ask me if I'm going out."

"Doesn't she know?"

Haixing lowered her head, "I didn't tell Yiye."

"so."

"Did she confess to you?" she asked without warning.

"..."

Naruse was silent for a while, "Yeah."

"really……"

Starfish looked at the ground and murmured in a low voice, "After returning from Thirteen Lakes, Yiye became weird."

Naruse pursed his lower lip, but did not correct them that they went to Meishan Lake that day.

"Did you refuse?"

"What do you think."

She turned around all of a sudden, "Can't you just say it, it's always 'you think', 'you think', I'm an idiot, I can't figure it out!"

"..."

Naruse was baffled by the yelling, "I rejected it, just like rejecting you."

"You're so naughty!"

"That's how I am."

When Chao Yueming came back from lunch, Hai Xing had already sat in the corner alone.

"Leave her alone."

Chao Yueming nodded and continued to scan the goods.

People from other stalls also returned here one after another, and the flea market became lively again.

And when he came back after scanning around, the two people who stayed behind to watch the booth sat together again, chatting as before.

Chaoyue Ming glanced at the sky.

The summer wind is blowing, and the clouds are drifting away.

"High school student."
