Ome Quartet of Snow Country

Chapter 181 Shared Bathing Between Partition Walls

When Naruse and Hikari Takikawa went downstairs, all the students in the last class had left the bathroom, and they were the only ones going to take a bath next.

When the two came over, the teacher in charge explained a few more words, emphasizing again not to soak for too long, and not to cause trouble to the people in the hotel.

"OK--"

No matter what they thought in their hearts, the two obediently agreed on the surface.

Watching the teacher leave, Hikaru Takikawa turned to look at Naruse: "Which side?"

"Stop it."

"Haha."

The two walked into the men's and women's baths respectively.

Even though he had already taken a bath, Naruse rinsed it off a bit, then opened the glass sliding door and sat in the hot spring pool.

"Well……"

Soak again, still very comfortable.

Leaning against the pool, Naruse closed his eyes, and soon heard the sound of the door opening again.

It's the women's bath next door.

wow-

Then came the sound of entering water.

"Spring Sea—"

"..."

Naruse opened his eyes.

"Spring Sea—"

"I heard."

"what?"

"I said I heard it."

"Your voice is so low, come here."

Naruse had no choice but to get up, and moved to sit down beside the log fence separating the male and female hot spring pools.

"now what?"

Hikaru Takikawa smiled, "It's much clearer now."

"Just soak for a while, you also want to chat."

"Obviously two people came here together, so it's a bit boring to soak alone."

Naruse didn't say much, and moved to the side again, leaning against the stones by the pool.

"I just soaked for a while before, and I feel that the muscle soreness has been relieved a lot, and the effect is really good." Takikawa Hikari said.

"I feel the same way."

"I don't know if I will feel pain when I wake up tomorrow morning."

"I hope not... I finally came to the ski resort. I want to ski a few more times."

"Me too."

She smiled, then fell into a brief silence.

"Sorry, Haruhi..."

"The light wasn't intentional."

"Um... But, I'm sorry."

"Well, I accept."

Naruse looked at the wooden wall in front of him, "Both of us were uninjured, which is already a blessing in misfortune, so let's stop here for any entanglements."

"..."

After a short silence, she laughed again.

"Thank you, Chunhai."

Naruse raised his hand and shook it on the surface of the water, and the sound of the water was a response.

Relying on the moist and warm stones, the body and spirit are constantly relaxed, and I even want to sleep here for a while.

"—I was thinking about Yue."

Hikaru Takikawa spoke suddenly, dispelling the little drowsiness he had just raised.

"Sister Yue should be resting now." He said.

"No, I mean during the afternoon skiing."

"..."

The voice over there paused for a moment, as if recalling.

"'What is Yue doing now', at that time, this idea suddenly popped up in my mind, and then I couldn't help thinking about it... In the blink of an eye, Chunhai suddenly appeared in front of me."

"..."

Naruse looked up at the sky.

This is what caused the two of them to lie in the room all afternoon...

"It's better to be more focused when skiing... let alone on the advanced road."

"I know...but the advanced way here is just like that."

"Is the point here?"

Her tone of voice, which had just risen a little bit, fell again.

"Sorry."

Naruse was silent for a while.

"Guang still doesn't want Sister Yue to leave?"

"Yeah... But I have long understood that Yue will leave sooner or later."

Hikaru Takikawa leaned against the edge of the pool, raised his head, and looked at the dark sky above his head.

"Yue knew very early on what she wanted to do and where she was going. That's good, there's nothing better than this...I won't stop her, but..."

She lowered her gaze to her knees that were slightly above the water.

"If Yue left, I would have a feeling of not knowing what to do."

Naruse was silent for a while, and said, "I didn't come to this world to take care of Sister Yue."

"What was that for?" she asked rhetorically.

"For...to create the life that Guang himself wants."

"What do I want in life?"

"You have to ask yourself that."

"I do not know."

"..."

"Then what kind of life does Chunhai want?"

"..."

The silence became longer.

Same question, got the same answer from another person, "I don't know."

Both fell silent.

After a while, Naruse heard the sound of water coming from over there.

"Are you going out?"

"No."

She just said this, and the sound of water continued, and it gradually faded away.

Naruse listened for a while, thinking she just wanted to change places to soak, so he ignored it.

And after a while, he heard her walking back again.

"Light?"

"Well, I just went for a walk."

"'Go away'?"

"Take a walk in the hot spring."

Naruse was silent.

"It's so small here," she said again.

"Hmm." Compared with the several hot spring hotels I have been to before, the hot spring pool of this hotel is really not that big.

"Spring Sea."

"Ah."

"You said, can this wall be turned over?"

"...don't mess around."

Naruse carefully looked at the wooden wall separating the two sides, and determined that at least on the men's bath side, it was impossible to climb over with his own strength.

And Hikaru Takikawa just asked this question, and there was no movement after that.

"Light?"

"Ah."

After confirming that she was still there, Naruse said, "Be honest and soak for a while, the time is almost up."

"I'm soaking."

"Then keep soaking."

After a while, she suddenly said, "For the common exam on the weekend, I'm going to accompany Yue outside the exam room."

"Is the exam room for the common exam at Tsu University?" Naruse asked.

"Yes."

"After that, the entrance exam for Northeastern University, you just have to pass?"

"Of course. I'll send Yue there and come back with her."

Naruse responded without saying anything.

"Is Chunhai coming?"

"I'll let it go."

"Is it just to accumulate some experience for taking the entrance exam in the future?"

"It's not necessary. You only need the results of the common exam to enter Tianjin University."

Hikari Takikawa answered after a while.

"……All right."

Naruse wanted to say something else, she stretched, and then seemed to stand up.

"It feels like the bubble is almost over, let's go out."

Both of them didn't bring their mobile phones, and they couldn't see the time in the bathtub, but it should be within a few minutes.

"Ah."

Naruse left the bath, put on his clothes and went out, Takikawa Hikari was waiting for him outside, and smiled at him again.

"Drink a bottle of milk and go up."

"Okay."

This time it's her treat.

At this time, there was no one in the hall.

The two sat on the sofa drinking milk, and looked at the clock hanging on the wall at the same time.

"So it's only been about 15 minutes..."

"Counting the time to put on and take off clothes, it didn't take long."

"Then go soak for a while?"

Naruse shook his head, "As soon as we came out, the people from the hotel went in to clean it, so don't embarrass them."

Hikaru Takikawa smiled, leaned back, raised his feet slightly, and held on for a while before putting them down.

After drinking the milk, the two of them didn't stay in the hall for long.

Ten o'clock in the evening is the time for the teacher's inspection. Although Zhong Yuanxue has already greeted Zhong Yuanxue in advance, it is troublesome to be interrogated.

"Good night."

"Hmm, good night~"

Back in the room, Naruse opened the door, and the light inside had been turned off.

The five boys in the same group lay quietly in the bedding, unable to be more honest.

"..."

He didn't say a word, and they didn't dare to move.

"it's me."

"What are you doing, it's Naruse...it's scary."

And not long after he returned to the quilt and lay down, the door was suddenly opened with a bang, and a figure stood at the door, and the shadow was also elongated by the lights in the corridor.

Here comes the real inspector.

He also stood longer at the door.

Silent and anxious.

"……have they gone?"

"No." The answer came from the door.

"..."

Hikaru Takikawa closed his eyes without moving, swallowed the next sentence, and then let out a slight snoring sound.

Shangzi smiled silently.
