Ome Quartet of Snow Country

Chapter 156
The red and white songs and battles are playing on the TV.

After singing another song, before the next singer came on stage, Morimi put down his phone and prepared to go to the bathroom.

"..."

Can't get up.

The legs in the kotatsu were crushed.

She lowered her head and lifted the quilt, feeling a little helpless.

"dad."

Mori saw no response.

He had had a few drinks in the evening and was already in bed early.

Mori saw Chie pushed him a few times.

"Hmm...has Ryoko come out yet?"

"Not yet. Yiye is going out."

He turned over, moved his legs away, and Yiye climbed out of the kotatsu.

"Remember to call me when Ryoko comes out..."

"Yes Yes."

After going to the bathroom, Yiye returned to the living room, instead of sitting directly on the kotatsu, he came to the edge and stood for a while.

The snow is falling more and more.

The surrounding fields are vast and silent.

buzz-

After glancing at the message, she put down her phone and looked away.

Rockwood Mountain is hidden under the night, and nothing can be seen.

"Shall I go to Iwakiyama Shrine Hatsachi..."

After posting for a while, she picked up the phone again, only to remember that she had already replied when she received the message just now.

Yiye: Good.

Hikaru Takikawa smiled at the news, "Ichiyo also agreed."

Sitting on the sofa, Takikawa Tsuki leaned on her shoulder, watching TV, and tilted his head slightly.

"If everyone is here, I will probably agree to it."

"Well...it seems to be true."

"Unless it will affect learning." Takikawa Tsuki added.

Hikaru Takikawa smiled, thinking of the previous school trip to Kyoto, "It was not easy to ask Ichiyo out in the past."

"In the past six months, Yiye's smile has become much more than before... although occasionally it will become tighter." Takikawa Tsuki said again.

"It's because of Harumi." Takikawa thought for a while, "It's both."

"Harukai..." Recalling some things she had inadvertently noticed in the past six months, Takikawa Yue thought thoughtfully.

"It would be better to end it as soon as possible... For Yiye."

"What?" Hikaru Takikawa looked over.

She thought for a while, then shook her head again.

"It's nothing, maybe I think too much... I hope I think too much."

Takigawa Hikaru looked at his sister without asking any further questions, leaning on her shoulder, and opened another chat window.

buzz-

Guang: Just in these two days.

Starfish: OK.

Putting down the phone, Hai Xing looked at the TV and continued with his wild thoughts.

Shall we all go to Chuyue together...

In the past, could she find a chance to be alone with him?

Should be able to find it.

——The premise is that he does not deliberately avoid it.

But on my side, after tonight, can I muster up the courage again?

Obviously, all along, he has been constantly denying and persuading himself to let go.

Is his thinking really what he thinks it is?

No real guarantees at all.

The only thing that can respond to me is the so-called intuition at that moment.

"..."

Seiichiro Maki watched the TV, turned his head inadvertently, and found that his daughter was frowning tightly, and couldn't help being stunned for a moment.

"Does Starfish not like her?"

"what?"

Hai Xing was also taken aback, and then glanced at the elderly female singer who was singing on TV, the kind she couldn't remember the name at all.

"well enough……"

Seeing her father looking a little worried, she took another deep breath, temporarily suppressing her overflowing emotions.

"I'm waiting for Ami to play."

Looking at his daughter again, Seiichiro didn't say much, took out the cigarette case from his pocket, tapped it lightly on the table, and put it down again.

Pretending to watch TV calmly for a while, Haixing picked up the phone again and stared at Shangzi's profile picture in the list for a while.

It was a photo of two puppets leaning together.

And the white bear among them, she had seen on his bed.

"..."

In the mess, she vaguely saw a clue that might be able to unravel it.

buzz-

Hearing the movement, Naruse looked at Naoko.

She put down her phone and said to him, "Guang Shuo Yiye and Hai Xing both agreed."

"Well. What time?"

"It hasn't been decided yet, so it's only two days. Just say that she will say hello one day in advance."

Naruse nodded.

"Is it convenient to go to Iwakiyama Shrine here?"

"It seems that you have to go to the city to take a bus first. If you go from the city, it will take four to ten minutes."

"It's a little troublesome."

"Alright."

The two sat together, watching TV and chatting, and Shangzi looked back from time to time.

There was a mess of cups and plates on the table, and the three adults had almost had enough to drink.

"Hey, there's no wine..."

Song Qianqiu picked up the wine bottle and poured it down, only three or two drops of residual wine flowed out.

And there are empty bottles next to it.

"Let's drink here today."

Accompanied by his wife and Song Qianqiu, this flower also drank a lot, but relatively sober.

"Chunhai." He helped up his wobbly wife, greeted him again, and gestured with his eyes.

Naruse also got up quickly, and helped Matsu Chiaki who was unsteady on the sofa, and leaned against Hanasawako.

Ji Huache also wanted to help tidy up the table, but was dissuaded by Shangzi, and sat back on the sofa.

"I'll come, Dad."

After clearing the table with Naruse, Naoko poured another glass of water for the three adults.

The two went to the kitchen to do the dishes together.

"Mom and aunt seem to be having a good time drinking."

"This is the first time I know that Aunt Sawako likes to drink."

Shangzi smiled, "I didn't drink much before."

"That was instigated by my mother."

Naruse rinsed the plate in his hand, "But it's rare for her to relax...even if she drinks normally, she is quite restrained."

Shangzi reached out to take it and put it on the other side, "Today is New Year's Eve."

"Well, today is New Year's Eve."

It took some time to clean up the dishes, and Naruse walked out of the kitchen, but Shangzi didn't follow.

Looking back, she bent down and opened the cabinet, looking for something again.

He walked back and looked at the soba in her hand, "New Year's soba?"

"Yes."

"It's only after nine o'clock, it's still early."

Shangzi washed the vegetables in his hands, "It's getting late, I'll prepare the ingredients first. Does Chunhai want to add anything else?"

Naruse thought for a while, "prawn tempura."

Shangzi smiled, "Okay."

He also stayed to help.

"It's so quiet outside, is it still snowing?"

"Seems to be."

Going back to the living room, Song Qianqiu leaned against this Hana Sawako, chatting in a low voice, and this Hana Toru also sat beside him drinking water.

The two also sat on the sofa and continued watching TV.

The last bit of time belonging to this year is slowly passing by, and no one keeps it.

On TV, singers on both sides of the red and white sides took turns, singing on stage one after another.

"It's a new face I haven't seen before."

"Don't Sawako know this group? It's quite popular on the Internet now. The new drama I'm shooting now is said to invite them to compose the theme song."

As Song Qianqiu said, he bumped his son next to him with his arm, "Does Chunhai know him?"

"I don't know. But I seem to have heard their songs in an advertisement." Naruse said.

"Tsk. Where's Shangzi?"

"I don't know, but I seem to have heard from friends..."

"That won't work. Shangzi should pay more attention to popular things, and don't always stare at this nerd."

"what……"

After several shifts and changes of attention and topics, the Red and White Song battle was coming to an end. Shangzi looked at the time and got up to go to the kitchen.

Naruse also quickly followed.

When the two returned to the living room, they both held a steaming bowl of soba noodles in their hands.

Song Qianqiu took a deep breath.

"Did you add prawn tempura, so happy~"

After coming back a few times, he brought over his own bowl of noodles, and Naruse sat down next to Shangzi.

The red and white song battle has ended, and the New Year's Eve program "Year after Year" is playing.

thump -- thump -- thump --

Accompanied by the long ringing of the bell, Konohana Sawako ate his noodles, looked at the two children sitting together, and smiled.

"Before the new year comes, you should finish eating soba noodles."

"Ok."

thump—

And when the one hundred and eighth chime came from the TV, both Naruse and Shangzi had put down their chopsticks, looked at each other and smiled.

"Happy New Year."

"In the new year, please take care of me."

　It's already one o'clock after the code is finished, and it is almost set to be released on the 24th. . .
