Ome Quartet of Snow Country

Chapter 19 Tags
Hearing the sound of the window opening, Naruse opened his eyes, the room was bright, it was already the next morning.

Getting up and walking to the window, Shangzi opposite was pulling the curtains, eyes bleary.

"Good morning, Chunhai..."

"Good morning."

Naruse went downstairs to wash up, and after a while, Shangzi also came over.

After making breakfast and lunch, the two ate, and then took the time to prepare to go out.

"We have physical education class today, so we need to bring sports clothes."

"Ah."

When we arrived at the bus platform, several figures were already waiting.

As the only public transportation in the Qingliu area, taking the bus is the main commuting method for students in several nearby primary and secondary schools.

"Good morning, One Leaf."

Morimi looked up from the book in his hand, and nodded at Naoko and Naruse.

Away from three or two people, Hai Xing turned the back of his head to this side, but the blonde hair was still too eye-catching, Shang Zi went to greet her again.

"Shangzi...good morning."

"Starfish is early today, too."

"It's not as early as that guy. Ten minutes ago, she took Sister Yue to school by bike."

"There is probably morning training today."

Shangzi was chatting with her with a smile on his face, turned around and saw that Naruse and Morimi had also chatted in a low voice, and then quickly returned there.

Haixing was left out, slightly dissatisfied, but the target was not Shangzi, but Naruse who didn't look at her at all.

Since a long time ago, Shangzi has been his follower, and he always cares most about his side.

The four of them were not far away, and after letting go of the voice, Hai Xing could hear it clearly from here.

"I heard from Hikaru that Morimi seems to be planning to go to Juku after school starts," Naruse said.

Mori Jian nodded, and the book in his hand had been put back into the bag just now, "I have this plan."

"How did you come back that night?"

"Last train at seven."

"Only until seven o'clock?"

"Well. It's only the first grade now, and it's not time to desperately."

Naruse smiled, "'Desperately'."

"My goal is Kyoto University."

Morimi pushed his glasses and looked serious, "If you don't work hard, you won't be able to stand out from thousands of competitors."

"..."

The whole bus platform became quiet all of a sudden, staring at her, Hai Xing couldn't help but glance at her.

This is Yiye, a top student in the same class as her but very different from her.

"Really, come on."

After the silence, Naruse was the first to speak, his tone was so flat that she even felt annoyed when she heard it.

"Thank you." And Mori Jian was as plain as him, "So Naruse usually has nothing to do, so don't come to me."

Nice, one leaf!
Hai Xing felt that she was fighting back, and looked over there, but happened to meet her gaze, and quickly moved away, continuing to pretend not to care.

"However, if it's a study problem, I don't mind."

Mori Jian's voice continued, "In other words, I welcome it. Because any simple problem may be a loophole that I haven't noticed. Helping you is also helping myself."

She paused.

"As long as you are willing to come to me."

He really is a top student...

Starfish stared at the ground, feeling that the gaps in the floor tiles at his feet were like natural moats, completely separating those on the same platform from each other.

"I'm free these days." Mori Jian added.

Naruse finally couldn't hold back and let out a low laugh.

Sen Jian glared at him immediately.

Shangzi next to him remained silent, looking back and forth between the two of them.

"Ah, here comes the bus."

Someone on the platform yelled, and everyone looked over.

Soon, the bus bound for the urban area of ​​Jinqian stopped in front of everyone.

After getting into the car, Naoko sat down by the window, Naruse sat beside her, and Morimi sat alone behind them.

Without squinting, Hai Xing walked past the three of them and didn't stop until the last row.

Naruse looked out the window, and a slight sigh came from behind him.

When he came to the school and passed the carport near the school gate, Naruse saw a motorcycle parked there.

It was Hikari Takikawa's car.

When she got to the classroom, her seat was empty, and she didn't see her schoolbag.

Shangzi told him that Takigawa Hikaru came to the school for morning training, and usually did not return to the classroom until the morning class was about to start.

"yes."

She lacks the most necessary energy, but she never slackens in training, which is really contradictory.

Naruse was thinking about it when he suddenly came back to his senses and looked at the female classmate standing in front of him.

After just getting along for a day, he still couldn't call out the names of most of his classmates.

The other party spoke first, "Narase-san..."

"Ah."

She cautiously asked: "I heard...you are the son of the actress Matsu Chiaki, is that true?"

"..."

It seems that as the night passed, people gradually noticed other labels on him.

Naruse nodded, "Of course."

"awesome……"

The female classmate covered her mouth all of a sudden, and looked at him with a look of amazement that seemed to witness him being born from Song Qianqiu's belly.

Naruse just looked back calmly.

No matter what kind of reaction the other party has, he is already prepared.

"That... I like Miss Song very much, and I will always support her!"

After marveling for a while, the female student finally had a different reaction.

"Thank you." Naruse nodded, showing a polite smile, "I will tell her."

"Really? Are you still in touch with Ms. Song now?!"

"..."

The female classmate may have misunderstood the star's interpersonal relationship.

"Ah, sorry! What am I talking about..."

Naruse shook his head, "It's fine."

"—Don't worry, Shindai, Haruhi is almost used to this kind of thing." Shangzi who was next to him also spoke at this time.

"Shangzi."

The female classmate named Shinyo knew Naoko much better, so she sat in the seat in front of her and whispered to her for a while.

After she left, before the morning shift started, similar things happened a few more times.

Naruse responded calmly, thanking his classmates for their support and solidarity with his mother, and selectively answering some slightly in-depth questions. As for more prying questions, he shook his head or smiled.

"Everyone go back to your seats, the morning shift is about to begin—"

The teacher Yuki Nakahara walked into the classroom, and the surrounding students dispersed, and Naruse couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Not only because there is no need to answer repeated questions, but also because those students' inquiries just now were not malicious, but purely out of longing or curiosity.

——At least no one mentioned his stepfathers, and most of the negative comments about Song Qianqiu were related to them.

He is not afraid of malice, but whether he chooses to ignore it or fight it, it is not a pleasant thing after all.

"Catch up..."

Hikaru Takikawa hurried in from the back door of the classroom, breathing heavily.

"Light, here—"

"Thank you."

After receiving the tissue from the classmate next to him, Hikaru Takikawa wiped his sweat, and greeted Naruse who turned around.

The morning shift will start soon.

"The school has approved the cultural festival project of Class C. Who is the executive committee member... Ah, by the way, it's Tanaka-san. You can start preparing."

Zhong Yuanxue confessed on the podium, "There is only one thing that the school especially emphasizes: the content of books shared in private reading clubs must be healthy and sound."

There was a sigh of regret in the classroom.

"Student Tanaka, the first thing you need to do is to compile a list of books and submit them to me before the end of this week."

"I see, Xiaoxue."

"Call me 'teacher'."

Then there are things about the school.

After saying this, Zhong Yuanxue picked up the attendance book and was about to leave when she suddenly remembered that there was no roll call today.

"Ah, wait a minute, I forgot to roll the roll."

As a transfer student, Naruse's name was placed at the end of the class C student list.

"Narase Harumi."

"arrive."

Zhong Yuanxue gave him an extra explanation, "Don't forget to give me the career hope survey form early."

"Okay." Naruse nodded calmly. In fact, he had already completely forgotten about this matter. The form was brought back yesterday and he never took it out.

"If you are undecided, you can discuss it with your family or the teachers in the career guidance department."

"I see."

Naruse responded, thinking of Matsu Chiaki who was far away in Tokyo again.

The progress questionnaire is just a trivial matter, but what about the three-way interview that requires parents to attend one month later?
