Ome Quartet of Snow Country

Chapter 169 Consumables

Not long after going out, the wind and snow became bigger and bigger.

It was not too late, there was no one on the road, and there was no car in sight.

In the dark wilderness, only the whistling of wind and snow remained, covering all the footsteps.

The feeling of sinking and sinking when stepping on the deep snow gradually makes people numb.

Step up, lift up, repeat over and over again.

After walking for a while, Morimi raised his umbrella and turned his head to make sure that Naruse was still beside him.

The two have been walking for a while.And after he said that he would take her home, he remained silent.

His shoulders and head were already turning white, and even the snow could tell that he had something on his mind.

She moved closer, "Narase."

He didn't hear it again.

"Narase!"

"..."

He finally raised his eyes, "Yeah."

Mori held the umbrella at the side, turned to look at him, "Come in."

Patting the snow off his body, he lowered his head and got under the umbrella, took the umbrella over and leaned towards her.

The wind and snow were slightly isolated, and the voices of each other became clearer when they spoke.

"You seem distracted."

"Your home is too far away."

"It's what you want to send."

"Ah."

"..."

Sen Jian turned to look at him, so he had to be more direct: "What happened?"

Naruse was silent for a while, "Almost."

"If you sent me home because you want to talk to someone about this matter, you'd better speak up as soon as possible, my home is not far away." Mori Jian said.

"..."

He finally smiled, not knowing whether it was an admission or not.

He raised his umbrella and looked ahead, but he couldn't see anything in the wind and snow.

But he still remembered that it wasn't long before they turned around from the intersection.

"Isn't it still far away?"

Sen Jian looked at him and said nothing.

Naruse pursed his lips, and said, "He Xing said that he will not come to my house again tomorrow."

She froze for a moment, and the scene of waiting for her in the morning suddenly appeared in her mind.

"Has she given up?"

"Ah."

"What I said was..."

"—so did I."

Really give up?
Sen Jian opened his mouth, and asked after a while, "What happened today?"

"It's the same as the previous few days." Naruse said, slightly concealing part of the actual situation, "She wanted to stay overnight, but I didn't agree. She took a shower and went back."

Morimi frowned, "Is that all?"

"On the way to send her back, she said she would never come again."

"A little more detail."

"...she cried for a while."

Mori Jian suddenly raised his eyes and nailed him on the face, "Narase bullied her again?"

"If refusal counts as bullying."

She pursed her lower lip and had nothing to say again.

The two continued to walk forward.

"Are you sure that Hai Xing's giving up is not an angry word?"

Thinking back to the determination that appeared on her face, Naruse shook his head, "Not this time."

"This time...how many times have you rejected her?"

"Subjectively, I have always refused."

Sen Jian turned his head and glanced at him, looking forward.

Something probably happened between the two of them a long time ago...

"I didn't expect Starfish to be so persistent."

"I also think she should have given up long ago."

After all, from the past to the present, he has only hurt her more or less, he thought.

Morimi let out a breath slowly.

"Haixing is stubborn occasionally... isn't she always like this?"

She was always stubborn when she shouldn't be.

Naruse just nodded, and Morimi was silently thinking.

The wind and snow suddenly became more violent.

Naruse held the umbrella tightly, turned to the side where the wind was blowing, and used the umbrella to resist with his body.

"Naruse keeps rejecting Hai Xing because of Shang Zi." Mori Jian said suddenly.

He glanced at her, "Yeah."

She lowered her gaze, hesitated to speak, and finally said:

"Since that's the case, Naruse chose to associate with Shangzi, so all the problems... Haixing's problem will be solved?"

Still said it...

Morimi waited for his response, but he was silent for half a minute.

"This is the choice between me and Shangzi."

"what?"

He didn't explain, but asked a rhetorical question: "How does Morimi understand the so-called love or liking?"

She was startled.

"The so-called love is a kind of emotion that will naturally arise after getting along for a long time... I'm not sure."

"I think love, or liking, is a consumable."

"Eh……"

He stared into the darkness ahead.

"It's like perfume, once opened, it will continue to evaporate... sooner or later, there will be nothing left."

Most of what he has seen and heard is like this.

"..."

Sam turned to look at him, frowning.

She didn't realize until now that he had such a negative attitude towards such a positive emotion.

Evaporating, less and less perfume?

It is obvious that Shangzi likes him so much that it is overflowing...

She suddenly thought that he returned to Shang Zi's side again, which was the past six months.

And what has he experienced during the four years in Tokyo?
...Only she knew about two failed family reorganizations.

There is also a vague knowledge of his experience of hanging out with delinquents in middle school.

The two walked forward in silence.

After a while, Morimi took a slow breath.

"Love consumes, it is inevitable...but besides consuming, love also accumulates."

Naruse looked at her.

"When accumulation is greater than consumption, love will increase." She continued.

"yes."

"Isn't it?" Sam asked, looking at him.

"That's right... But accumulation is just a simple statement, and a small thing will consume love, such as picking the wrong color of a gift." Naruse couldn't help thinking of some past fragments, "Destruction is always easier than construction, maybe In a split second..."

She couldn't help it, "Can't you think of something better?"

"I've tried my best to think about it."

Sen Jian stared at him: "Then you are probably sick."

"maybe."

"Go to Soya Hospital tomorrow."

"Isn't there only internal medicine and orthopedics?"

"..."

She stared at him for a moment, then sighed.

"I never thought that it would be because of this reason that you and Shangzi have not been in contact."

Naruse didn't speak.

"Shangzi, do you understand what you think?"

"Ah."

"How do you know?" She was sure he hadn't asked.

"Because she is Shangzi." Naruse said.

"..."

Mori took a deep breath.

"So, are you going to keep Shangzi in this state forever?"

"I still have a lot of time with Shangzi."

"It's just your selfish thoughts."

"That's a matter between me and Shangzi, and no one else will be involved. If someone accidentally gets involved, I will persuade her to leave...just like a starfish."

"..."

She was speechless, and quickly turned her face away.

During the second half of the journey, Morimi remained silent.

Naruse also remained silent until he sent her home.

"arrive."

"Thank you."

"I'm going back."

Mori Jian stood at the door, "I shouldn't have asked you to send me back, no, I shouldn't have talked to you about this kind of topic in the first place."

Naruse didn't want to speak, so he nodded.

She looked at him for a while longer.

"Is there anything between you and Hai Xing that you haven't told me?"

"Have."

"Can you tell me?"

"No."

Sen Jian paused, "Then you and Hai Xing, can we still be friends in the future?"

Naruse shook his head, "I don't know either."

"If we really break up, I will stand by Haixing's side. Anyway, you just have Shangzi."

Naruse twitched the corners of his mouth and forced a smile.

"up to you."

See no more words.

"Take the umbrella back, good night."

"Good night."

After leaving Morimi's house, Naruse walked alone in the snow and returned home after more than 20 minutes.

"I'm home."

Shangzi took the umbrella from him, shook the snow off it, and put it aside.

He sent Sen Jian a message before sending her back.

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

At a certain moment, Shangzi turned to look at him: "What's wrong?"

He seemed to have something to say.

"fine……"

He denies it, then shakes his head.

"No, I want to ask, does Shangzi feel uneasy...sometimes."

"..."

She froze for a moment, showing him a reassuring smile.

"No, as long as Chunhai is still by my side."

"...Is this all right?"

"That's fine."

He nodded slowly.

"I will."

　This month's monthly pass will be related to the star list and subsequent recommendations, so continue to ask for a monthly pass.

　　In addition, most of the updates in the past half a month are basically created by spelling time codes. The time for coding is squeezed out by work. There is no way to adjust the vicious circle after the archives are completely used up. At least I am not satisfied with the quality of the updates.

　　In the afternoon, I proposed to resign, and I will not be able to resign until the end of May Day.That's right, I'm working overtime today too.

　　At that time, we may have to take a few days off to adjust the status, please understand.

　　I wish you all a happy holiday.
