Ome Quartet of Snow Country

Chapter 152 Parents Return
At around twelve o'clock in the noon, Takikawa Tsuki came to Naruse's house, sent Hai Xing's birthday wishes, and inquired about the things he was most concerned about.

"Well, Miss Song hasn't come back yet?"

"Not yet. She just sent a message saying that she just got on the Shinkansen." Naruse said.

"Ok."

Because there were still things at home, Sister Takigawa stayed for a while and then left first.

Mori didn't plan to stay for long.

"Feel sorry……"

Looking at her slightly haggard face, Hai Xing felt both guilty and guilty, "It's all because of me, Yiye didn't sleep well, right?"

Sen Jian looked at her for a while, then suddenly smiled.

"Starfish is so good at turning over. Fortunately, after I fell asleep, I couldn't feel any movement from your side."

Hai Xing felt relieved and apologized again.

"Okay, today is your birthday, be happy."

"Uh-huh!"

Glancing at Naruse standing aside again, Morimi turned and went home.

"Say hello to Miss Song for me."

"Ah."

Sending Morimi off, Naruse returned to the living room, and together with Naoko cleaned up the mess of the party on the table.

Starfish looked at the side for a while, pointed to the balloons on the wall, and the colorful ribbons above his head, "Do you want to remove these things too?"

"No rush." ​​Naruse shook his head, "My mother said to keep it for now, she will come back and have a look."

Starfish nodded.

Regarding what happened last night, the two tacitly kept silent.

After cleaning up the table, Naruse looked at the remaining half of the birthday cake, and cut a small piece for himself, Shangzi and Haixing.

"Would you like a cup of coffee?"

"Is there any coffee at home..."

"I can go to the convenience store and buy it."

"no thanks."

After taking a few bites of the cake, Shangzi checked the time and went back to the house next door to clean up—even though it had been cleaned up very well before.

"No need to help... I just need to tidy up a little bit." She said before leaving.

Naruse did not continue to stay in the living room, but came to the yard.

The snowman I made last night has become fat and out of shape after a whole night of wind and snow.

"Take it."

He took off the gloves and let the starfish who came out hold them, and then slapped the snowman.

Shangzi took a look with his head and went back into the room.

"Will the store be busy today?" Naruse asked suddenly.

Starfish was taken aback, and quickly replied: "I'll be busy in the morning, but I'll stop taking orders in the afternoon, because I have to be busy with family matters... ah."

She suddenly remembered that she "run away from home" in the middle of the night and hadn't greeted her father yet.

"Don't worry." Naruse glanced at her, and patched a ball of snow on the snowman's chest, "I left a message for Mr. Seiichiro last night, and he also replied to me this morning."

"Oh..." Hai Xing felt relieved.

Turning around, he patted the snow around the snowman's body again, and shook off the snow that fell on the ribbon. Naruse's hands were already red with cold.

After rubbing his hands, he took two steps back, took out his phone and took a picture.

Click!

When there is enough light during the day, the effect of shooting is better.

Starfish looked aside and stood over.

Staring at the screen for a while, Naruse zoomed in on her face and zoomed in.

"..."

He pursed his lower lip.

The fundus of the eyes is indeed a little red...

Seeing that he hadn't taken pictures with his mobile phone for a long time, Hai Xing stood on the other side and stroked his hair again, feeling a little at a loss.

"Don't be sullen."

"Ah, oh."

She tried to make her expression more relaxed.

Click!

After taking a few photos and sending them to Haixing's phone, Naruse turned his gaze to the white car slowly approaching the intersection.

The car stopped outside the yard, and the windows were rolled down, revealing the middle-aged woman in the passenger seat.

"Spring Sea."

"Aunt Sawako, you're back."

Konohana Sawako got off the car, smiled at him, and then glanced at the girl standing beside the snowman.

"Hmm... starfish? Long time no see."

"Long time no see, Auntie Hua..."

The Hana and his wife are not at home for a few days a year, Haixing is completely unfamiliar with them, greets them timidly, and subconsciously stands beside Naruse.

"Sure enough, it's a starfish." Seeing her reaction, Kazuko Konoka said again inexplicably.

Hai Xing lowered his head slightly, and responded with a smile that he would show when he didn't know what to say.

Jin Huache also drove the car into his garage, and Shangzi also came out of the house to welcome his parents back home.

"Dad, Mom."

She smiled and said, "Welcome back."

After his parents returned home, Shangzi stayed at home.

Naruse greeted Hai Xing and returned home after a while.

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Song Qianqiu, who was carrying big bags and small bags, finally came back.

"I'm exhausted..."

After unloading the luggage from the trunk and watching the taxi turn around and leave, Naruse asked, "Didn't Ms. Sato come back with you?"

"She also wants to go back to her hometown for the New Year."

"Didn't Ms. Sato stay here every year when I was in Tokyo?"

"I've been back this year, and the office has no other arrangements, so Yoko will go back."

Song Qianqiu took off the concealed sunglasses and mask, revealing her true face.

"I'm suffocating... The driver of the taxi just now is still my fan, saying that my voice is very similar to Matsu Chiaki."

"If you sign his name, the fare from Aomori will be waived." Naruse said.

"Well, maybe... But I don't want to bother."

Unlocking the shackles of the disguise, she stretched a long waist, and then hugged her baby stepdaughter who was standing aside, "Happy birthday, starfish!"

"thanks……"

Deep in the warm embrace, feeling the throbbing brought by another kind of hug, Hai Xing couldn't help but hug her tightly.

"Chunhai prepared a party for Haixing... are you happy?"

"Uh-huh!"

"That's good." Song Qianqiu smiled slightly, and looked into the house again, "Where is Shangzi?"

"At home." Naruse motioned her to look at the neighbor's house on the other side, "Shangko's parents also just came back this afternoon."

"Really." Song Qianqiu looked towards the neighbor's house, "Then I'll go over to say hello later. Go in first."

Let go of Haixing, she dragged her into the room, Naruse looked at the sky from behind, and could only drag the big and small bags in by himself.

"Why did you bring so many things back..."

Song Qianqiu signaled him to bring one of the paper bags over, "I picked out a suit of clothes for Haixing, let's try to see if it fits."

"Ah good……"

The two went to change clothes in the room, Naruse sat on the sofa and looked through the rest of the things, except for her own clothes, the rest seemed to be gifts.

After a while, Song Qianqiu opened the door of the room, walked out, turned around and beckoned inside.

"Come out, let Chunhai see it too."

Only then did Hai Xing put out her skirt.

"..."

Naruse subconsciously held his breath.

She was wearing a black one-piece long dress, sleeveless on both shoulders, hanging by the shoulder straps, with long-sleeved gloves on her hands, and a white veil around her.

The waist is cinched, and the bottom skirt reaches to the ankles. Half of it is black, and the other part is transparent gauze.

She took two steps forward, her long golden hair draped over one shoulder, making it hard to look away.

The only thing that made people feel uncoordinated was probably the cautious expression on her face at this moment.

Well, my chest can't hold up at all...

Naruse stared unconsciously for a while, then remembered to look away, "Evening dress?"

"Hmm. How about it, is it suitable for starfish?" Song Qianqiu said.

"Well, it's quite suitable." He couldn't deny it.

The corner of Hai Xing's mouth raised, and slowly let go of the skirt he was holding in his hand.

"As soon as I saw the evening dress, I was looking forward to what Starfish would look like in it, so I bought it."

Song Qianqiu took her arm, "If there is a dance or party in school, you can wear this dress."

"Yeah." Starfish nodded.

"There are also some matching decorations... Chun Hai, bring that blue bag."

Inside are a few red and black ribbons, and a small top hat, all of which are worn on Haixing's body, and her temperament has also undergone a slight change.

"Ah, and this."

Song Qianqiu went back to the sofa to search, took out a necklace from the bag, and handed it to Naruse.

"Go help Starfish put it on."
