Ome Quartet of Snow Country

Chapter 107

One day passed, and when school was over in the afternoon, the rumors circulating among the first graders that the two first graders were in a relationship had been unknowingly forgotten in a corner, replaced by the expectation of the final exam starting tomorrow or anxiety.

"...The exam arrangement for these three days is like this, everyone, please do your best. Remember to come early for the students on duty tomorrow."

After all, Zhong Yuanxue announced the end of the evening class, picked up the attendance book and left the classroom.

"Let's go to the library." Hikari Takikawa greeted Naruse.

"No, I won't go there today, let's gather at night." He turned around and said, "Shangzi and I will go back early today."

"Why... Ah, I see."

Song Qianqiu came back today.

"Have you come back yet?" she asked.

"Ah."

"Then I'll go say hello earlier."

"Aren't you going to the library?"

Hikaru Takikawa smiled, "Let's go to Ichiba's house to gather at night."

"Then you have to tell them."

"Let me go and talk." She left the classroom.

Monk Naruse packed up his things, and after a while, Hikari Takikawa came back.

"I've said it. Yiye said that she and Haixing will stay."

"Ah."

The three left the school without stopping, and took the bus back directly.

Back in front of his house, seeing the lights on inside, Naruse suddenly quickened his pace.

"Welcome back."

Song Qianqiu, who arrived home early, had already changed into home clothes, and greeted his returning son with a smile, as well as the two girls behind him.

"Is it just the three of you back, where is Yiye and Haixing?"

"Still studying at school."

Naruse put down his schoolbag, "Tomorrow is the final exam."

"Ah." Song Qianqiu hugged Shangzi, and called Takikawa Hikari to come to his side, "Has the winter vacation started so early?"

"No. There are still a few days of classes after the exam, and the holiday doesn't start until the day before Christmas."

Seeing Takikawa Hikaru who was as cute as a puppy under Matsu Chiaki's touch, Naruse didn't say anything before his mother opened her arms to him again.

"Chunhai let mom hug her too."

"No."

Hikaru Takikawa stayed until the evening before returning home, and before leaving, he made an appointment to come over in the evening.

"Are you going to Yiye's house for a study meeting tonight?" Song Qianqiu asked.

"Ah."

"The starfish will go too?"

"Yes."

"Hmm..." Song Qianqiu thought about it, "Why don't you hold a study session at our home?"

"Do you want Yiye to go back alone?"

"I'm really not worried..."

Song Qianqiu didn't say any more, but instead asked when the two would come back.

"Around eleven o'clock."

Naruse looked at Shangzi, "But you can come back early today, the exam is due tomorrow, it's better to rest early."

She nodded too.

"Mom is waiting for you to come back at home."

"What are you waiting for, just rest on your own."

"It's so late, I must be hungry." Song Qianqiu said.

"Ah, we are going to cook udon noodles at Yiye's house today." Shangzi continued her words, "It was agreed yesterday."

Matsu Chiaki was slightly surprised, then looked at Naruse again, "It seems that you are getting along very well now."

"It's okay." He understood who the "you" in her mouth really referred to, and didn't say much.

It was getting late and it was rare for Matsu Chiaki to come back. Naruse and Shangzi were going to the supermarket to buy more ingredients for dinner.

And she offered to go with them.

Passing the Zhenmu Hotel, Song Qianqiu went in to say hello to her ex-husband.

When she came out, she said, "The starfish hasn't come back yet."

"Not so early."

When he came to the supermarket, Song Qianqiu said that he wanted to choose the ingredients for dinner with his two children, but in fact, he enjoyed the screams and constant inquiries from the salesperson at the cash register throughout the whole process.

"Let's eat sukiyaki tonight." Naruse discussed with Shangzi, "Just buy more meat, and it will be easier to clean up."

"uh-huh."

After purchasing the ingredients, the two returned home and began to prepare.

Song Qianqiu spent most of the time watching from a distance, his eyes sometimes stayed on his son, and sometimes looked at Shangzi.

After being away for a few months, the two of them naturally became closer, but it seemed that something was missing...

After staring at it for a while, Song Qianqiu corrected his judgment.

No, the emotion she thought was lacking was actually so much that it was about to overflow.

It's just that both of them are restraining.

Concentrate, let all emotions be hidden in your body, only the occasional gaze will flow out inadvertently with your eyes.

"..."

Song Qianqiu sighed silently.

Of course she understood her son's problem, but she was even more surprised by Shangzi's patience.

What should I do? Should I do something?

She also has no idea.

Is this a matter of time to solve...

Until the two brought the dinner to the table, Song Qianqiu was still thinking.

Seeing that she was leaning on the sofa without moving, Naruse thought she was asleep, "It's time to eat."

"Come on."

Song Qianqiu took a deep breath, stood up and came to the restaurant, and was soon attracted by the aroma wafting from the sukiyaki pot.

"It's delicious."

Shangzi smiled beside him.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Song Qianqiu hugged her suddenly, and gently stroked her back, "Thanks for your hard work, in all aspects."

"..."

Shangzi was stunned for a moment, then raised his head, Song Qianqiu had already let go.

"Let's eat—Chunhai, break an egg for me."

"Aren't the eggs right by your hand?"

"Mother's hands are too precious to do such a thing."

"How can it be so exaggerated..."

Naruse cracked three eggs in a row, handed them to Matsu Chiaki, Shangzi and himself respectively, and then sat down at the table.

The soup in the boiling pot is full of aroma.

"I'm gonna start now."

After dinner, Hikaru Takikawa came to the door on time.

"Yue also heard the news of Auntie's return, so I'm very happy."

"Why didn't she come, isn't she at home?"

"Yue is still in school, and the third grade will not take tomorrow's exam."

"It's hard work now."

"Yes."

Packing up his things and going out, Naruse said again that there is no need to wait for them, Matsu Chiaki just smiled and didn't comment.

When she came to Haixing's house, she wore black-rimmed glasses for a whole day, and she didn't bother to change contact lenses anymore.

"Yiye is at home."

"Well, let's go straight there."

When I came to Mori Jian's house, several people were changing shoes when they entered the door. Mori Jian asked casually:
"I didn't come this afternoon, what's the matter?"

Naruse was taken aback, then turned to look at Hikari Takigawa, "Did Hikari tell you?"

"Just said that you should go back early." Mori Jian said.

"Huh? Yiye didn't ask."

"..."

The three looked at each other.

"My mother is back." Naruse said.

Shang Zi looked at Hai Xing beside him, and she froze as soon as his words came out.

"This time?" Morimi was also surprised, "Why, is the shooting in Tokyo over?"

"No, let's talk when we go in." Coming all the way through the snow, Naruse was so cold that he wanted to get into the kotatsu immediately.

After several people sat down around the kotatsu, Naruse explained the reason why Matsu Chiaki came back.

"Has the director fallen? It feels like it will become news."

"It's possible, it can be regarded as a warm-up for the new drama."

"In that case, is it intentional?"

"how is this possible……"

Several people chatted for a while before starting today's study session.

"After the exam tomorrow, do you want to correct the answer?" Mori asked suddenly, looking at Naruse.

He didn't even lift his head, "Don't go too far, honor student."

She just snorted softly and didn't say much.

After a few days of cramming, it was the last night before the exam. Both Hai Xing and Takikawa Hikari had passed the stage of trying to pass all subjects and continued to participate in the study meeting. The former was using continuous learning to eliminate the anxiety before the exam, while the latter It's more like coming to join in the fun.

"This time, I might be able to get the best grades since entering high school." Hikaru Takikawa said, "If the teachers have unreasonable expectations of me, what should I do?"

"Then continue to work hard and meet their expectations." Morimi said.

"But I'm really not material for studying, whether it's interest, talent, or hard work... Attending the study session before the exam is already the limit."

She was babbling, Naruse took the exercise book and asked her to do a problem, but she quickly frowned and stopped talking.

After a while, he finally solved the problem in front of him, and let out a long sigh of relief.

Sen Jian glanced at him.

"You've been doing math, too."

"It's just to pass the time." After checking it, Naruse climbed out of the kotatsu and went to the bathroom.

When he came out again, the starfish just came over.

The two were speechless and were about to pass each other, when she suddenly pulled him back.

"..."

Naruse hesitated for a moment, didn't break free, just looked at her.

Hai Xing pursed her lips, "I have something to ask you."

Naruse glanced towards the living room.

"Ah."

"Your mother...how long will you stay in Tianjin this time?"
