Ome Quartet of Snow Country

Chapter 601 Late Regret

After taking a bath, Naruse stood in front of the mirror and stared at the slap marks on his face for a while.

After half a day, the traces on my face have faded a lot, and they should be almost gone when I wake up tomorrow morning.

"I've been under a lot of pressure lately..."

However, after receiving such a slap from his biological mother, the worry and flinching he had felt when he came over on the road were all wiped away by this slap.

Fear always comes from the unknown, and now that Song Qianqiu has made his attitude clear, he has nothing else to worry about.

Is this a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water? He couldn't help but think.

Naruse was the last one to take a shower. When he came out of the bathroom, everyone except him was sitting on the sofa.

"Chunhai's room has been packed up. It's getting late. We still have to find someone tomorrow. Let's go to bed early." Song Qianqiu said.

Regarding Shangzi's whereabouts, she said that she would put aside his affairs with them for the time being and find Shangzi first.

"Yes." Naruse nodded, his eyes turning on the faces of Haixing and Takigawa Hikari.

"Haixing sleeps with me tonight, and Hikari sleeps with Yoko." Song Qianqiu said, directly giving up his idea.

"Okay. Good night."

"Good night……"

It was already after half past eight o'clock in the evening when they returned to the apartment. It was indeed late now. They each went back to their rooms, and Naruse lay down on the bed.

After a while, he got up again, turned on his computer, searched Amazon with the keyword "muppet", and then scrolled down.

In the next room, Song Qianqiu and Haixing had already gotten into bed, but it was not time to fall asleep.

"..."

Haixing turned her back and looked at the wall. She thought that Song Qianqiu would definitely ask her to say something when she was alone, but she just remained silent and said nothing.

She gradually became nervous while waiting, and even wanted to take the initiative to speak.

But she didn't know how to speak.

She wasn't worried that Song Qianqiu would beat her like her son, but she was also worried that she would say the wrong thing and make her even more angry.

Amidst the tension, sleepiness quietly grew.

Just when Haixing was about to fall asleep, Song Qianqiu finally broke the silence.

"It's my responsibility that things turned out like this."

"Huh?...What..."

"Are Haixing sleepy?" She turned to look at her and smiled, "It's nothing, just keep sleeping."

"No, I'm not sleepy anymore." Haixing blinked a few times to wake himself up.

Song Qianqiu smiled again, then paused for a while, and then said: "I should have been tougher before."

Starfish looked at her confused.

"After Harumi started dating Naoko, I should take some action. Even though I know Haixing also likes Harumi, I still let him stay with you... and those two children, Harumi also likes each other, so there's nothing wrong with this." That’s a weird question.”

Matsu Qianqiu sighed, "I originally thought Harumi could control it to the extent that she just likes her."

Haixing pursed her lower lip and buried her head, "It's not Harumi's fault... He has rejected me many times."

"I know. But it's because of this that it gave me the illusion that he would persist to the end."

Song Qianqiu moved towards her stepdaughter and held her in her arms.

"I can still feel how much Harumi likes Haixing... He can even reject Haixing, so I think other people won't have much problem... Why is it like this?"

Haixing also hugged her, "I think there's nothing wrong with this."

"..."

Song Qianqiu lowered his head and touched her hair.

"Fool, this is only temporary..."

"——Otherwise, I will never be able to be with Harumi."

Starfish choked up, and she soon felt the moisture coming from her chest.

"Obviously I like Chunhai so much, and Chunhai has liked me since childhood, but just because he chose Shangzi, we can't be together anymore..."

Song Qianqiu sighed deeply, "But isn't this a matter of course?"

Starfish buried his head deeper.

"I don't want to take this for granted...I just want him."

Matsu Qianqiu quickly realized that he should not bring up this topic.

Starfish's tears kept flowing, not only wetting the pajamas on her chest, but also seeping into her heart. She found that she even had a thought in her heart that she might as well just let them go on like this.

Among those girls, she originally preferred starfish.

"But this is very unfair to Shangzi, isn't it?"

"Yes……"

Haixing sobbed, "When Naoko comes back, I will apologize to her. But... I will never let go of Harumi again. The first person he liked was me."

Song Qianqiu raised his head and looked at the dim room.

"Will Naoko really come back... Chunhai has done such a sorry thing to her. He just found Naoko and apologized to her, but he still wants her to come back to him... This is too cruel for Naoko. Some."

Haixing also raised his head, "But I think it's Shangzi who can't live without Chunhai."

"But she's gone now."

"So, Harumi said that after returning all the money to her parents, Naoko may not have the motivation to continue living."

"..."

"So, we must find Shangzi."

Song Qianqiu closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

"One or two, why do children nowadays have such heavy worries... Life is so long, don't underestimate the weight of life." Haixing looked up at her and whispered: "Yiye said, because we grew up They are problem children..."

"That kid..."

Speaking of Morimi, Matsu Qianqiu thought of something else.

"Haixing tell me the truth, was it Harumi's idea to let Harumi date the four of you at the same time, or was it Kazuyo's suggestion?"

Starfish was silent for a while.

"What did Harumi say?"

"He said it was his idea."

"That's it..."

"..."

Song Qianqiu looked down at her stepdaughter, and she already had the real answer in her heart.

"Speaking of which, why didn't Kazuye come with you this time?"

"Ah, this is because Harumi decided to come here in a hurry. Kazuha was still in the study school, so he came with only Hikari and me."

"Is that so?"

She thought she didn't dare come over to see her.

Song Qianqiu continued to be silent for a while, then his head suddenly moved, he listened to the noise outside, then got up and got out of bed, and opened the door.

"..."

Takigawa Hikaru nodded to her calmly, "Ah, Miss Matsu, do you want to go to the bathroom?"

"Let's go first."

"Ok."

Watching her walk to the bathroom, Matsu Qianqiu sighed and looked at the door of the room next to her.

After staying in the bathroom for a while, Hikari Takigawa came out and the door of Matsu Chiaki's room was closed.

She tiptoed to the door of Naruse's room, opened the door gently, and Naruse looked inside.

Song Qianqiu, who was standing behind him, also cast his gaze.

"..."

Takigawa Hikaru forced a smile and said, "I'm ready, Miss Matsu, go ahead."

"Yes." Song Qianqiu nodded and looked at his son again.

Naruse pursed his lower lip.

"Is Harumi playing games?" Hikari Takigawa walked in.

"No. Just looking through it casually."

She walked next to him and looked at the computer screen. On the web page was the Amazon product page.

"Go to rest early." Song Qianqiu glanced at the two children again and left the room.

"Okay." Both of them responded.

She didn't go to the bathroom and went directly back to the room next door. Naruse looked at Hikaru Takigawa and said, "My mother just said that you will definitely come over."

"Aha..."

Takigawa Hikaru smiled, lay down behind him, hugged his neck, "Harunami can't sleep?"

"Ah."

"Then I will accompany you."

He took her hand and squeezed it twice.

"Is Miss Sato asleep?"

"Looks like he's asleep."

He continued to flip through the pages.

"Is it possible to find the puppet made by Naoko?"

"Basically impossible."

She hugged him tightly, "Shangzi, can you really make money like this?"

Naruse took a slow breath and said, "She should be able to earn a little. She left only when she was ready... She paid back a large amount of money some time ago, which means she should have a continuous and considerable income now."

Takigawa Hikaru looked down at him, his eyes lingering on the side of his face for a while.

"Does your face still hurt?"

"I don't feel anything anymore."

Naruse raised his hand and touched his face, moved the mouse with his other hand, and closed both the web page and the computer. "Go to bed early. We have to find someone tomorrow."

"Ah."

"Do you want to go back to Miss Sato?"

She kissed his face and said, "Chunhai wants me to go back."

"do not wish."

She smiled.

"But my mom said if I made any weird noise, she would come over and strangle me to death."

Takigawa Hikaru smiled again, and his face turned red.

"Then have a good sleep."

"Ah."
