Ome Quartet of Snow Country

Chapter 545 Grocery Cart
There was a night class meeting before school, but it was already a little late. Naruse and Naoko went to the handicraft club together, so they simply didn't go upstairs.

The second-year students all have to go on an excursion today, and the club room is full of first-year members. School is out at this time, and there are not many people coming over. Shangzi said that everyone can go back early today.

When the members of the club were almost gone, Shangzi said a few words and left.

"How are you preparing for the cultural festival?" Naruse asked as he went downstairs.

"It's basically completed."

"So you're still so busy every day?"

"Because there are still two or three weeks left, there is still plenty of time, and everyone wants to continue to refine it until it is impeccable." Shangzi said, with a little complacency on his face.

Naruse pinched her soft cheeks and said, "Don't just focus on refinement. In the end, you won't have enough time and you will have to come up with an unfinished work."

"It will not."

Naoko narrowed her eyes slightly, enjoying his touch.

"Every time we enter a new refinement stage, we will hold a meeting to discuss the overall level of refinement and the time required. At later stages, if we feel that there is not enough time, we will stop."

"It's in good order."

"Hmm~"

The two held hands and went downstairs. As soon as they arrived downstairs, Hikaru Takigawa walked over.

"..."

Is it to find him?
Naruse guessed.

Their eyes met, and she quickly looked away and looked at Shangzi: "Are you going back?"

"right."

"Then let's go together, Haixing is going back too."

"it is good."

Takigawa Hikaru turned around and walked in the front.

Because he came back late, Haixing didn't have to go to the cafe to work today - he didn't have much energy to work in the first place.

She waited at the carport and didn't say anything when she saw the three people who came with her.

Naruse went in to look for his car. When he passed her original car, he looked at the vacant seat next to him.

"Kazuye went to the bookstore." Haixing said.

"I know."

They got on the bike and left the school. They didn't waste any time on the road and went straight home.

Back at Aoyagi, Naruse slowed down the car and said, "See you tomorrow."

"Yeah." Takigawa Hikaru turned around and rode into the path.

The same goodbye was quickly said to Haixing, and the three of them separated. Haixing rode his bike and stopped at the door of his hotel.

"I'm back." Seeing his daughter, Seiichiro Maki also came out, "How did it feel like hiking?"

"I'm so exhausted..." Haixing said weakly.

"Have a good rest tonight." Seiichiro picked up half a box of wine on the floor, "Dad went out to deliver some wine and will be back soon."

Haixing looked at it and said, "Where are you going to send it?"

"Sanno Restaurant over there in Soma."

"Are these all?"

"Ah."

Haixing put down his schoolbag and took the wine box, "I'll deliver it."

"Huh?" Seiichiro was startled, "Isn't Haixing very tired?"

"not bad."

She was just mentally exhausted.

After moving the wine box onto the motorcycle, Haixing shook it a few times to make sure it wouldn't slide off, then asked for the order for the wine delivery, turned the accelerator, and set off.

Seiichiro stood at the door for a while and looked away. Naruse and Naoko came over from the other side.

"Mr. Seiichiro." He slowed down and greeted.

"Chunhai..."

"I'm going to buy groceries."

Seiichiro nodded and looked at the new motorcycle under his seat, thinking that it would be much more suitable for buying groceries than the original racing car.

But the original-pay model of Haixing is more suitable.

At this time, Haixing was still riding on his way to Soma.

It was past five o'clock, and dusk had already appeared on the horizon, and the golden glow stained the clouds, making it dazzling.She squinted her eyes, riding very carefully because she had alcohol in the car.

After riding for a while, he came to the restaurant where the wine was to be delivered. Haixing stopped the car, took out the key, and moved half a box of wine inside.

"Hello, Maki Hotel is here to deliver drinks."

"Huh? Didn't Seiichiro say he would deliver it himself?"

Haixing put down the wine box, "I'm back, so let me deliver it."

"That's it."

After paying the bill and getting the empty box back, Haixing said goodbye to the shop owner, got on his scooter, and headed back the way he came.

With the dazzling sunset at our back, the ride back was much easier.

Staring at his elongated shadow, Haixing raised his gaze, but there was no one in front of or beside him.

"..."

In recent times, our relationship has become increasingly strange.

But when she tried to figure it out, she got either vague and incomprehensible words or wordless silence, which made her even more confused.

She always had the feeling that they were doing something without telling her.

A small truck drove up in front. Haixing quickly recovered and rode aside, carefully avoiding it.

The empty wine box was not as easy to fix as before. She adjusted it slightly, then picked up the speed and rode back.

When she was about to return to the hotel entrance, she saw Morimi riding over from the other end of the county road.

She rode a little further and stopped in front of the bookstore.

Morimi also stopped and looked at the wine box in front of her, "Are you going to deliver wine?"

"Ah."

"When did Haixing come back? Why did all the drinks run out so quickly?"

"It's very close. It's just over Soma. It only takes ten minutes to ride there and back."

Morimi nodded and smiled at her again, "With a motorcycle, it will be much more convenient."

Starfish also laughed.

"Have you bought the book you wanted?"

"It's exercises. If you buy a few more copies, you'll get a discount. I also brought one for Haixing."

"..."

"You need to check me after you're done."

"I do not want……"

Morimi smiled again, "I'm just kidding."

Starfish puffed up his mouth.

After parking the scooter, Morimi asked again: "Would you like to come in and chat for a while?"

Haixing looked down at the wine box in front of him, "I'm going home first."

"Ah."

When I got home and parked the car, I handed the drink money to my father. After Haixing had walked for a while, a whistle sounded from behind.

She turned around, and Naruse rode up from behind with Naoko.

He didn't stop, just looked at her and nodded.

Shangzi was holding two bags of ingredients in his hands, but he couldn't spare the time to say hello to her and smiled at her.

Haixing waved his hand and the two quickly rode over.

“It’s such a short distance to ride a bike…”

She muttered and continued forward, arriving at Morimi's bookstore.

Morijian was looking through the exercises he had just bought and handed her another one.

Haixing flipped through it, glanced at the content, and almost fainted.

Looking at the cover again, "Kyoto University's English entrance exam in the past five years...Has Kazuyo already started writing this kind of question?"

This kind of red book is not unfamiliar to her. She often sees it in school, but she usually only starts to study this kind of questions in the third grade.

"Is it very difficult?"

"Well, let's do it first." Morimi took the exercise book back, looked at the cover and let out a breath, "Someone is already getting serious, and I don't want to be pushed too far away."
