Ome Quartet of Snow Country

Chapter 170 Third Semester

Drop drop drop-

When the alarm clock rang early after a long absence, Naruse struggled for a while before opening his eyes even though he was prepared in his heart.

After turning off the alarm clock, he didn't have much time to be dazed. He got up and got out of bed, changed into his winter uniform, and went downstairs to wash up.

The holidays are over and term three starts today.

In the morning, I will go to school to attend the opening ceremony.

After washing up, Naruse went to the kitchen to take a look, but he didn't see Naoko.

Pushing open the bedroom door, he found that she was still lying in bed.

"Shangzi."

"Well……"

She turned over and was soon silent again.

Naruse had no choice but to go in, "Shangko, get up."

She has been a little too relaxed these two days.

He picked up the alarm clock next to him and took a look, but sure enough, no alarm was set.

"Well……"

Shangzi turned around and opened his eyes to look at him.

"Good morning." Naruse put down the adjusted alarm clock, "I'm going to be late."

She was sleepy, "The alarm clock hasn't rung yet..."

Naruse pressed the alarm clock and dialed it.

Drop drop drop-

"..."

Shangzi sat up, looked at the alarm clock and wanted to say something, covered his mouth and yawned.

After waking her up, Naruse went to prepare breakfast.

Taking off her pajamas and putting them aside, Shangzi lowered her head and unbuttoned her underwear, readjusted it and buttoned it again, before noticing that the door was not closed.

Getting out of bed to close the door, when she reached the door, she leaned out and looked again.

There was the sound of water in the kitchen.

After listening for a while, she still didn't pass by in this half-naked state, and turned back to the room.

The door was still open.

Dress, wash, and help in the kitchen.

The morning of the first day of the third semester was as usual, busy but not tense.

After breakfast, the two went out together.

At the bus stop, Morimi was already waiting.

"Good morning."

I haven't seen you for a few days, she looks a little cold, "Good morning."

Sensing her attitude, Naruse didn't say much, and stood with Naoko, continuing to wait for the bus.

And when the Takikawa sisters and the school bus arrived one after another, he didn't see the starfish either.

"Haixing is sick." Mori said after getting into the car, "I'm asking for leave today."

"……yes?"

"I had a fever the night before yesterday."

"..."

Naruse glanced at her, and suddenly understood her indifference.

"I do not know."

"Ah."

Morimi continued to walk back and sat alone in the back row.

"When you come back, go and see the starfish." Shangzi said.

Naruse nodded.

"I'll go as well."

Hikaru Takikawa turned around, "I didn't even know that Haixing was sick... She didn't tell me when she sent me a message."

"go together."

The bus starts quickly.

When they arrived at the prefectural Tsudaka, several people got out of the car together, and Hikari Takikawa pulled Morimi again and asked about Haixing.

"I only found out yesterday."

She pushed down her glasses, "I just caught a cold and lay down for two days, and I have almost recovered, just continue to rest."

"Okay. After school, I will go to visit her with Chunhai and Shangzi. Yiye will come too?"

"Ah."

Go up the stairs in the middle and reach the third floor. Mori Jian walked to the other side, "I'm going to tell the teacher about Hai Xing's leave."

"it is good."

When he came to the classroom and greeted his long-lost classmates, Naruse sat down on his seat, took out his phone and looked at it for a while, then put it away again.

Not long after, Zhongyuan Xue, who was a teacher, also came to the classroom.

"Xiaoxue, long time no see~"

"Hmm, happy new year everyone."

"After a year, Xiaoxue seems to have gained a little weight."

"no!"

When it was almost time for people to arrive, she began to roll the roll, and then explained some things.

When the broadcast sounded, students from the three grades came to the gymnasium together to participate in the opening ceremony.

On the first day of the new semester, the dean's speech on the stage seemed extraordinarily long, which made people sigh.

Shangzi looked at Naruse, and said in a low voice, "It's so nagging."

"I've been holding back for a winter vacation, let him talk... see how long he can talk."

After nearly half an hour, the opening ceremony ended.

Back in the classroom, Zhong Yuanxue continued to explain the matter, and finally reminded all the students:
"Classes will start normally tomorrow, pay attention to adjust your schedule, don't be late!"

The class meeting ended and the students dispersed one after another.

"Go back." Hikari Takikawa greeted Naruse, "Wait a minute."

"Ah."

While waiting for Mori to meet, Shangzi sent a message to friends in the club to cancel some arrangements that were originally scheduled for this afternoon.

Morimi quickly came over from Class E, "Let's go."

After leaving school, while waiting for the bus, Naruse went to a nearby dessert shop to buy some snacks as souvenirs.

Back on the platform, he looked at the dim sum in his hand, and Sen Jian's face turned pale.

Glancing at Shangzi, she whispered, "It was Haixing who told me not to tell you."

Naruse nodded, indicating that he understood.

When the bus came, they returned to Aoyagi, and Hikari Takikawa went in to buy something when he passed by the convenience store.

"Starfish like to eat this."

When he came to the Maki Hotel, Seiichiro Maki welcomed the children very much.

"The starfish has almost recovered, she woke up just now, you go up."

When he came upstairs, Mori Jian knocked on the door, Haixing responded, and then several people rushed into the room together.

She leaned against the head of the bed, looking a little weak.

"...Why are you here?"

"Who told you not to go to school today." Sen Jian poured her a glass of water and put it on the bedside.

Hikaru Takikawa sat by the bed, "Why didn't you tell me when you were sick?"

"Forgot..." Hai Xing smiled, trying to perfunctory.

She touched her forehead, "How do you feel now?"

"It's much better."

Shangzi put down Naruse and her condolences, "Have a good rest."

Staring at a certain snack in the bag, Hai Xing paused for a moment, then smiled.

"Well, thank you, Shangzi."

Shangzi looked at her, "Sure enough, I caught a cold because I just went back after taking a bath that day."

Hai Xing smiled, "I forgot to wipe my hair... I went out and blew a gust of wind, and then I fell down when I got home."

"..."

Naruse took a slight breath and looked out the window.

Shangzi pursed her lips, "Sorry, it's me..."

"—No, it has nothing to do with Shangzi."

Hai Xing shook her head, and glanced at the other person standing by the window.

"It has nothing to do with anyone else, it's my own fault."

Shangzi looked at her for a while, stopped talking, and brought over the condolences instead.

"Does starfish have an appetite now, let's eat something."

"Yeah, okay. Let's eat together."

Morimi moved the low table to the side of the bed and put it down. Naoko and Hikari Takikawa sat around and looked at Naruse who was still standing by the window.

Hai Xing also looked at him, "Did you buy the dim sum?"

"Ah."

"Thank you."

"you are welcome."

"Can you make me a few cups of tea, I want to eat it right now."

Naruse stopped Naoko who was about to get up with his gaze, and Naruse nodded.

"it is good."
