Ome Quartet of Snow Country

Chapter 11 Bento
When the phone screen was about to go dark, a new message popped up.

Chunhai: Are you in the same class as Shangzi?
Shangzi smiled.

Shangzi: Yes.

The same feeling probably passed to his side, she thought.

Putting away the phone, Shangzi looked left and right, and quickened his pace to leave the empty corridor.

When I came outside, on a bench in the corner of the atrium, a girl was waving to her.

"Shangzi—here."

She walked over, sat down next to him, and took the bento from the other party, "Thank you, Kazumi."

Opening his bento, Suzuki Kazumi took a bite first, and then asked, "What did Shangzi ask the teacher?"

"A friend is going to transfer to Tianjin High School in the second semester, please ask me to ask his class."

"Hey, transfer in the second semester?"

"Yeah." Shangzi opened the bento.

Hemei thought for a while, and said, "I always feel that it is a bit embarrassing to transfer schools at this time."

Shangzi asked casually, "Why do you say that?"

"Think about it, the first semester is over, and the summer vacation has passed, the various small groups in the class have basically formed, it is difficult to integrate, especially in the club;
And then there is the cultural festival, everyone is very busy, and there is basically no time to make new friends.

If you help out while preparing for the cultural festival, maybe you can make some friends naturally after the festival is over.But this kind of thing is hard to say, if the personality is not very good, you will even be isolated...

If you can't make friends in the second semester, it will be even more difficult in the third semester.Maybe I won't be able to make friends until next year when I'm promoted to the second grade and re-separated into classes! "

"Too pessimistic, Kazumi." Shangzi laughed.

"No, Shangzi is very popular in school, I probably don't feel it, but the real communication situation of high school students is so cruel..."

He Mei's face is full of seriousness, if one ignores the rice grains at the corner of her mouth and the blooming sausage in her mouth.

"Let your friend get ready early."

"Aren't you ready to make friends?"

"Of course."

"Okay." Shangzi didn't refuse her offer, "I'll tell him."

The two continued to eat lunch.

Because the department room is busy and meals are not allowed, many members of the handicraft club came to the atrium.

After saying hello to another girl not far away, and grabbing a few more bites of food, Kazumi suddenly noticed that Shangzi next to him was looking at the bento and was distracted.

At a certain moment, she stared at the two grains of rice on the chopsticks and murmured:

"There's nothing wrong with that... Chunhai is enough for me... Chunhai only needs me..."

"..."

It's too heavy!

Kazumi only felt that the air pressure around her and even the entire atrium had dropped a bit.

Although she had discovered early on that when Shangzi was alone, he would occasionally exude a heavy breath unconsciously, but it rarely reached the current level.

Who is that "harumi"?
She has already begun to regret what she said just now.

"That! Speaking of which, for this year's cultural festival, what is Shangzi's own work?"

In order to reverse the heavy atmosphere, Kazumi bluntly brought up a new topic.

According to the practice of the handicraft club, during the cultural festival, in addition to the need to complete a joint work of all members, each member has to prepare his own personal work.

"I'm good at sewing puppets and making small cloth products."

Shangzi recovered from his trance, took her words naturally, and continued to eat the bento.

"I'm going to make a group of small animal puppets, let's use the zodiac as the theme."

"Is that so..."

"Ah."

Seeing that this topic is coming to an end, Kazumi forcefully squeezed out another sentence: "I feel that this topic is a bit ordinary, and it is not easy to be noticed by people. Obviously, the puppets made by Shangzi are very delicate, and it is a pity that no one cares about them." gone."

Shangzi smiled and didn't seem to care, "There's nothing wrong with that."

"Does Shangzi usually watch animation? Why don't you play some popular characters recently, such as Pochi..."

"—Shangzi."

The appearance of another person interrupted Kazumi's words.

She turned her head to look and found a short-haired girl in a basketball uniform walking towards her, her eyes lit up immediately.

"Takigawa-san!"

"Yo." Hikari Takikawa smiled at her, and then sat down next to Naoko.

She pointed towards the gymnasium, "I saw you when I came out from there, and I feel a bit like you from the back, and it really is Shangzi."

"Light." Shangzi smiled at her.

"Why did you come to school today?" Takikawa Hikaru asked.

Hemei rushed to answer: "The members of our handicraft club are here today!"

"Handcraft club, come to prepare for the cultural festival?"

"Yes!"

Hikaru Takigawa looked at the other people in the atrium, and said casually, "It's really hard work."

"Did Takikawa just finish training?" Kazumi looked at the sweat on her face.

"Well, it's just over—sorry, the smell of sweat is heavy."

"No no, it's okay!"

Looking at the inexplicably excited Kazumi beside him, Shangzi signaled with his eyes that he planned to switch places with her.

And Kazumi stared at Hikari Takikawa, not paying attention to her gaze at all, and then asked again: "Does Takikawa-kun not eat lunch?"

"Oh……"

Hikaru Takikawa smiled, "Actually, I forgot to bring my bento. Now I'm considering whether to find a place outside the school to fill my stomach."

Kazumi's eyes suddenly became brighter, "If you don't mind, I can give my bento to Takikawa-san!"

"That won't do."

Hikaru Takikawa stood up and walked in front of her, "How can I make you hungry."

"Takigawa-san..."

Hemei raised her head and smirked, her body and heart almost melted.

Shangzi watched from the side.

Very good at pleasing girls, people can't help but want to rely on, this is the other side of Takikawa Hikaru.

"But..." Hikaru Takikawa glanced down at Kazumi's bento, "It should be fine to eat a little egg roll, right?"

"no problem!"

"In that case, I'm sorry."

She directly picked up an egg roll with her hand and put it in her mouth.

"Hmm... it smells really good. Ah, don't worry, I just washed my hands."

"Let's have another piece!"

"is it okay?"

"Of course!"

"Then have another piece of this."

"Takikawa-san, try this char siu again!"

"It looks good."

Hikaru Takikawa picked up a few pieces of food and put them into his mouth. After eating them all, he licked his lips, still feeling a little unsatisfied.

She looked at Shangzi next to him, and the latter had already picked up a small half of the bento and put it on the lid, and handed it to her together with the spare chopsticks.

"Shangzi..."

Shangzi only showed a slight smile, which made people feel extremely gentle, "You're welcome."

Hikaru Takigawa looked at her in a daze, and after recovering, he only picked up an egg roll and put it in his mouth.

"One piece is enough."

Shangzi took back the bento, the smile on his face remained unchanged.

"That's it." Takigawa Hikaru licked his fingertips, and finally smiled at the two of them, "Thank you for your hospitality, and I won't bother you."

Until she walked away, Kazumi was still looking there.

"Takigawa-san... you are really handsome."

Shangzi didn't say anything, and continued to eat the bento.

It's not that she can't feel the special charm of Hikaru Takigawa, nor can she understand her high popularity among the opposite sex and even the same sex, but occasionally she finds that if she looks at her with deep meaning, it makes her unable to be like the people around her. Hemei is so unreservedly immersed in each other's thoughtfulness.

Is it because I am too sensitive and paranoid, Shangzi thought to himself.

"what."

Kazumi suddenly let out a dry sound.

Shangzi turned his head and followed her line of sight, only to see Hikari Takikawa go around the courtyard for a small half, and then sat next to the other two girls.

Then, as if what happened here was repeated over there, she was enthusiastically "fed" by two admirers.

It's almost like using your own charm to cheat food and drink everywhere...

"Could it be that the bento I made wasn't tasty enough?" Kazumi looked over there, and Shangzi didn't know whether she was mourning herself or complaining to her.

"It's probably because I'm worried that if I eat too much, it will make Kazumi hungry." Shangzi said.

When this sentence came to his heart, Kazumi immediately turned her head and nodded, "I think so too!"

Shangzi smiled, "Continue to eat."

"Uh-huh."

The two continued to eat bento, but neither could fully focus on what was in front of them.

And Hikaru Takigawa, who distracted them, was like a butterfly accidentally discovering a large garden, picking things up and stopping at every flower she met, but none of them could keep her focused.

As the first flower to be "eaten" by her, Hemei's face is not only satisfied, but also occasionally shows a bit of sadness of being abandoned;
After watching it for a while, Shangzi felt that the athlete's appetite was really not small.

It seems to be a bit stretched...

Feeling the fullness of his belly, Hikaru Takikawa squeezed out a smile to the girl beside him, "Thank you for your hospitality, it's almost time for me to go back to training."

"Is it enough? Takikawa-san, don't you need to eat more?"

"No, I've been... filled with your love and passion."

"ah--"

After bidding farewell to the two girls who couldn't be named, Hikaru Takikawa walked to the gymnasium.The afternoon training didn't start so early, she just wanted to find a place where no one was around to lie down for a while.

When she was about to leave the atrium, she glanced back.

Shangzi and another girl who had been sitting on the bench in the corner had disappeared at this time, and they had probably returned to the club room.

"Shangzi..."

Recalling that calm and gentle face, Hikaru Takikawa felt regretful, but also looked forward to the future.
