Ome Quartet of Snow Country

Chapter 474
After separation from Takigawa Hikari, Naruse went home to pick up his motorcycle. Naruse also told Naoko that he was going to have dinner at Morimi's house.

Sure enough, after being silent for a while, she decided to stay at home.

"I'll be back soon."

"Well, be careful when walking at night."

He pulled her to the blind spot in the room and kissed her for a while. Finally, Naruse pushed her hair away and kissed her forehead.

"I've passed."

Shangzi shook his hand and then let go, "Yes."

They left by bike and waited for the Takigawa sisters at the intersection. The three of them went to the supermarket together and met up with Morimi and Haixing who had already arrived.

"Well, if there are five people, how much meat should we buy?... We also need to buy some vegetables."

"It was Shangzi's decision before."

"..."

Morimi glanced at Takigawa Hikari who deliberately mentioned Naoko, "Let's buy it. If it's not enough, eat less. If there's more, you can leave it in my refrigerator."

"It's too much!"

In the end, Naruse, who often shopped with Naoko, decided on the amount of ingredients.

Mori saw himself riding a bicycle home, Hikaru Takigawa took his sister and ingredients, and Haixing, who was left at the end, naturally sat in the same car with Naruse.

"If Shangzi comes too, can I just ride there by myself?" she suddenly asked as she got in the car.

Naruse turned to look at her and put the helmet into her hand, "You can also walk over."

"……Never."

She put on her helmet and hugged his waist.

Naruse looked down at the small hands on his waist, speechless for a moment.

Every time she got in his car, she would hold her tightly, exposing her heart to him in the blind spot of his vision, and it seemed as if she would suddenly disappear as soon as she let go of him.

He raised his gaze, looked at the street where he came from, and then looked ahead.

He should say something.

"It's too tight."

"..."

Starfish relaxed a little.

Looking back at the road conditions behind him, Naruse turned on the accelerator and rode on the county road.

Riding towards Morimi's house, it didn't take long for the two of them to catch up with Morimi, who had set off first, and the Takigawa sisters, who were riding slowly.

There were no cars in front or behind him, so he slowed down and followed on the other side.

The two motorcycles on the left and right looked like a convoy, and Morimi was pedaling a bicycle in the middle, dumbfounded.

"You guys go there first."

Naruse turned the accelerator, rode to the front, and immediately threw them away.

"..."

Seeing Mori's expression suddenly downgraded, Takigawa Hikaru shook his head.

"Didn't Kazuyo ask him to go there first?"

She pedaled and ignored her.

Takigawa Yue looked around at the scenery.

After looking at the road behind her, Takigawa Hikaru continued to follow her, and after a while, she arrived at the yard of Morimi's house.

Stopping the car and letting her sister behind her get out first, she looked at Starfish standing alone and the motorcycle parked next to her.

"Where's the Harumi people?"

Starfish raised his chin toward the outside of the yard, "He went to the river."

"It's so relaxing."

Takigawa Hikaru turned around and rode out again. It seemed that he was going to ride to the river.

"Be careful." Takigawa Yue shouted from behind.

She raised her hand and waved, causing the car to jolt, and she immediately clenched the handlebars with both hands.

Morimi rode into the yard at this time. He stopped and looked at Naruse by the river and Hikari Takigawa who was riding towards him. He kicked off and rode to the parking place.

"Don't worry about them. Haixing and Sister Yue come in first."

Hearing the movement of the motorcycle, Naruse looked back and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Look what Harumi is doing."

"Don't come over here, be careful if the car slides down, I can't push it back up."

Takigawa Hikari stopped the car on a flat spot.

"It just so happens that Harumi also wants to buy a new car."

"You think beautiful."

She smiled, walked to him, and stared at the Nanmuchuan flowing underneath for a while.

"I've been riding by the sea these days, and it's hard to even see a river."

"You can still see a few rivers." "So it's just difficult, it's not that you can't see it. But basically all you can see are the mouths of rivers."

Naruse turned to look at her, "Do you still want to go to Thirteen Lakes?"

Takigawa Hikaru nodded slowly, "Tomorrow at the earliest...just tomorrow, I will go there. I will come back the same day."

The shortest route from here to Thirteen Lakes is only sixty or seventy kilometers away. Three hours is enough for her to run back and forth and cry again at the beach.

but……

He looked at the smile on her lips and looked into the distance.

She is different now from that time.

"Be careful on the road."

"Haruhai really doesn't want to go with me?"

"My mother will be back tomorrow."

"Ah, yes... okay."

The two stood by the river for a while, and then returned to Morimi's yard together.

It was still early, so Mori saw that the three of them did not start preparing dinner, but were sitting beside Yuan chatting.

The two of them also went over and sat down, and Naruse asked, "Why didn't Sister Yue go out to play during the summer vacation?"

"I have been out, but you don't know it. I also went to Sendai to participate in the Tanabata Festival a few days ago."

"Hey, alone?" Haixing was surprised.

Takigawa Yue shook her head, "I went with three high school classmates. By the way, I took them to Northeastern University for a walk and stayed in my apartment for one night before coming back."

"For the Tanabata Festival, Sendai Station and nearby commercial streets will mainly have festive decorations, right?" Morimi asked.

"Yes. The busiest time is the Chinese Valentine's Day Fireworks Festival in the evening, which is packed with people."

"Fireworks festival..."

With his arms on the floor, Haixing looked up into the sky with longing on his face, as if fireworks were being set off there, "I haven't seen it this year."

"I'll see if there's a fireworks display nearby. Let's go watch it together then." Hikaru Takigawa said.

"Yeah."

"Are we the only ones now?" Morimi said abruptly.

Takigawa Hikari turned to look at her, "Of course there is Naoko."

The few of them chatted for a while, and when the dusk became darker, Takigawa Yue and Morimi got up and went in to prepare dinner.

"Let me show you the cooking skills of college students who have already lived independently."

"I'm looking forward to it." Takigawa Hikaru looked up at his sister who was walking in.

"You come and help too."

"Here we come." She stood up and followed.

Only Naruse and Haisei were left on the side. He was lying on the floor, looking at the eaves of Morimi's house above his head, which covered most of his field of vision, and only a small piece of the sky was exposed.

From the corner of his eye, he saw the starfish next to him also getting up and leaving. He was a little disappointed for no reason, but he forced himself to change his mind and curb this disappointment.

The footsteps echoing on the floor did not go away. She went back to the living room and walked around. She came out soon and returned to his side again.

Naruse turned his head and Haixing knelt down, holding a cushion in his hand and looking at him.

"Do you want some padding, underneath your head?"

"..."

Seeing that he didn't speak, she moved back and said, "If you don't want to, forget it..."

"want."

"Eh?"

"I said yes." Naruse raised his head.

Starfish curled her mouth, bent down, and stretched out her arms to stuff the cushion under his head.

The neckline of the slightly loose T-shirt droops naturally, revealing the snow-white skin underneath, as well as a thin light-colored bra.

The body is also very thin.

He wanted to get closer, to touch.

Want...a hug.

Naruse crossed his arms and put them over his eyes, blocking the light and restless sight.

"Haixing, please go in and help."

"Eh?...You don't need me anymore, right?"

"Then you are not allowed to eat meat at night."

"..."

She was silent for a long time, and finally muttered something incomprehensible, then got up and went in.

As the footsteps walked away, Naruse put down his arms, stared at the sky for a while, and then closed his eyes.
