Ome Quartet of Snow Country

Chapter 167
At the beginning of the new year, Vientiane is renewed, and the sun does not really show its face until the first week of the new year is about to pass.

The sun shines on the snow on the side of the road so white and bright, it is dazzling.

Naruse squinted his eyes and walked all the way to the Morimi Kohon shop, feeling a bit dark inside.

After getting used to it for a while, he glanced at the counter and saw that the person sitting there was Mori Miki, and he was inevitably a little disappointed.

He didn't say anything, and when Mori saw the tree looked up, he nodded normally in response, and then wandered among the bookshelves.

After choosing a moment, he took two books and went to the front desk to check out.

"Chunhai has been reading faster and faster recently."

"It's okay, the main reason is that I haven't found any books that I can read more times recently."

drop--

"Nine hundred yen. Let Yiye recommend some books for you."

Naruse smiled, "Next time..."

Mori Jianshu raised his chin behind him.

He turned his head, and the bookstore's daughter appeared at the door with her eyes squinted, and her eyes quickly settled on him.

"good morning."

She came over, and Mori saw the tree back out of the counter and went back inside.

"good morning."

The last time the two met was the day when they went to the shrine together half a week ago.

Walking into the counter, Morimi glanced at the book on the table, "Your?"

"Ah."

"Have you paid?"

"Ah."

"Look at the receipt."

Naruse handed over a banknote.

"..."

She squinted at him and lowered her head for change.

"Sister Guang and Yue went to Morioka today."

"yes."

Mori Jian took out a hundred-yuan coin and handed it to him, "Didn't you read the news in the group?"

"I didn't notice." Naruse took the change, "Just sent it?"

"Ah."

"Why did you go today?"

"It seems that relatives have come to the house these few days."

Senjian pushed his glasses, looked at him, and mentioned another matter, "I heard that Haixing has lived at your house these days?"

"..."

Naruse pursed his lower lip, then couldn't help but sigh.

He came here today, apart from buying books, he mainly wanted to tell her about it.

"I haven't moved in yet, but it's about the same. Except for going back to sleep at night, she stays at my house almost all day, eating and drinking my food, without giving me a penny!"

Mori Jian laughed, "Is that the point?"

of course not.

What made him even more troubled was that there was a bomb beside him who didn't know when it would explode, and he always used Song Qianqiu's words as a shield, so he couldn't get rid of it no matter what.

After laughing, Morimi also asked about the aspects he cared about.

"Why is Starfish doing this all of a sudden?"

"Before my mother goes to Tokyo, let her come to my house more often." Naruse said.

She thought for a while, "Isn't this a polite remark?"

"My mother probably meant it... It's just that she didn't take this sentence as a courtesy."

"Did you really not expect that?"

Sen Jian sat down at the counter, rested his chin on one hand, and looked up at him, "Isn't the reason obvious at a glance?"

"..."

Naruse pursed his lower lip, "The reason is not important, what is more important now is how to solve it."

She tilted her head, "So you came to discuss with me?"

He raised the book in his hand, "I want to discuss with you by the way."

"……Humph."

Sen Jian lay down, stared at the side for a while, and suddenly felt a little emotional.

"I didn't expect Haixing to be rejected, but she's still so positive..."

Naruse took a deep breath and said nothing.

She looked over again, "She's been staying at your house these few days, did Shang Zi say anything?"

"What can Shangzi say?"

"That's right, after all, even though they have lived together for a long time, they are not real girlfriends after all."

"..."

Naruse didn't speak.

Sen Jian suddenly fell silent, looking aside, not knowing what he was thinking.

"If Morimi can't do anything, I'll go back first." Naruse picked up the book and said.

"Who said no."

She looked back, "There are many ways, for example, if you agree to date Haixing, she will be obedient."

"Is this the way?"

"Then..."

Naruse thought she would ask him to date Shangzi next, but she pondered for a while, then put her head on her palm again, "There is no way."

"Perhaps Sen Jian can call her back, spend more time with her if she has nothing to do, and cultivate her interest in reading or something."

She glanced at him and sneered.

"Are you coming again? You can solve your own business by yourself."

Naruse still hasn't given up, "There are no exams yet."

"Then what's in it for me?"

"After solving her problem, I will have more time to read books, and I will provide more consumption in your store."

"Come on, how much can I spend? I don't look at this or that, I'm picky."

"Well...you and Starfish will also become closer."

She smiled, exhaled lightly, and lowered her gaze again.

"In that case, I should try my best to match her up..."

"gone back."

Sen Jian raised his head, he had already turned around and walked out with the book in his hand.

"coward……"

She lay down again, and it was already difficult to gather a smile on her face.

"It took a lot of effort to become what it is now... Is it going to make trouble so that everyone can't be friends?"

On the other hand, Naruse left the bookstore and returned home soon.

As soon as the door was opened, the two people on the sofa looked over at the same time.

"Welcome back." Shangzi greeted, and Haixing also looked at him and nodded.

He closed the door and sat down on the sofa as well.

Because Shangzi has been here all the time, he basically stays downstairs during the day.

Although there is another starfish in the family now, it doesn't have much impact on the rhythm of life on the surface of the two of them - because she basically doesn't talk much except for crying out for hunger.

Naruse reads or watches TV, Shangzi watches TV, and occasionally does some simple needlework, Hai Xing keeps holding on to his mobile phone, and the three of them have been together in this state for half a week.

As time slowly approached noon, Shangzi put down the things in his hands and got up to prepare lunch.

Naruse didn't go directly to help, but glanced at Haixing, "When are you going to go back?"

She squeezed her mobile phone and huddled in the corner of the sofa, "I'll go back after dinner."

"I'm asking when you plan to end this life of eating and drinking in other people's homes."

"...Auntie said that I can treat this place as my own home."

Naruse stared at her for a moment.

"Didn't Mr. Seiichiro say anything?"

She looked at him and crawled over here, "Dad wants me to get along with you..."

Naruse stood up suddenly, dropped the book and went to help in the kitchen.

"..."

Starfish pouted.

Leaning on the sofa, she stroked her instep, and a bit of bewilderment gradually appeared on her face.

She made a decision with a hot head. She has been coming to "harass" these few days. Besides making him even more disgusted, is there any other meaning...

The two of them worked together, and lunch was ready soon.

Putting the bowls and chopsticks on the table, Naruse suddenly said, "Should I calculate the meal price with her?"

Shangzi smiled, but did not comment.

"Starfish, it's time to eat."

"coming."

After lunch, Starfish didn't eat and drink for nothing, she would still help wash the dishes.

The afternoon is the same as the morning and even the past few days-there is nothing to do during the winter vacation.

After dinner in the evening, it was finally time for Haixing to go home, and Naruse sent her back.

After sending her to the hotel entrance, he looked at the street lights not far away.

The short-lived sunshine only lasted until the afternoon, and the snow rustled under the street lamps.

"Are you coming tomorrow?"

"Again."
