Ome Quartet of Snow Country

Chapter 203

Turning over the beef and beef tongue on the grill, and putting down the tongs, Naruse looked up at the clerk who was walking towards this side with a tray.

It was his cold noodles.

"Morioka cold noodles, please take your time."

The cold noodles were placed on the table, along with a small dish of sauce.

"Eat cold noodles this season..."

Sen Jian looked at the cold soup and cold noodles in his bowl, and didn't say anything, just asked him to give her the barbecue clip.

"I ordered it because I felt it would be hot." Naruse said, "The slices on the left are almost done."

Senjian turned it over a few more times, picked up two pieces for Haixing, and another piece for himself, not for him.

Beef is also added to the cold noodles, the ingredients are rich, and there is half a piece of duck egg, and the soup is also very fresh and thick.

Naruse took a sip of the soup base and felt that it was a little weak, so he added some sauce and mixed it again.

Then pick up the translucent noodles and put them in your mouth. They are ice-cold, chewy and smooth.

"It is said that the noodles of Morioka cold noodles are different from other cold noodles, and are made of potato starch." Morimi said.

"Well, the taste is not bad."

Naruse took a mouthful of noodles, "I understand the reason why cold noodles are served here: I have eaten too much barbecue, and eating this can relieve my greasy."

"is that so."

"Well, you can also order one to try."

"I can't eat that much." She stretched out her hands towards him.

"..."

Naruse looked at her, and Haixing also looked over.

"I mean let me have a taste." Mori Jian squinted her eyes, she had already taken off her glasses just now.

Naruse offered her cold noodles.

slid --

She picked up a bit of cold noodles and sucked it into her mouth.

"Hmm...the noodles feel a bit hard, but cold noodles are just like that...Do you want to try the starfish?"

"...Is it okay?" Hai Xing looked at him.

What else could Naruse say, "Eat."

She also took a sip.

"Very refreshing." Hai Xing licked his lips and said.

Naruse took back his noodle bowl, "Then do you want a bowl?"

She looked at the slices of meat on the grill with obvious hesitation on her face.

Cold noodles are not air, and if you eat too much, you will not be able to eat barbecue.

"Can I have half of it?" She asked after thinking about it.

"I'll ask." Naruse looked at Morimi again, "What about you?"

"I'll just eat what you have."

"..."

"Just kidding." She smiled, and then said, "If you can have half, then go for half."

Naruse got up and went to the bar to inquire, and came back soon.

"You can ask for half, or even a quarter."

"Isn't a quarter too little... about how much?"

He sat down, picked from his bowl, picked up a small ball of noodles, "About this much."

"That would be a quarter."

The clerk who came over nodded to express his understanding.

Naruse picked up a piece of freshly roasted beef and put it in his mouth, took another bite of cold noodles, and exhaled lightly, feeling very satisfied.

"Cheers." Morimi raised his glass again.

The three of them clinked glasses, and he almost drank his juice.

"Would you like a beer?" Morimi said.

Naruse looked at the wine glass she had drunk most of, "No need."

After a while, a quarter of the cold noodles for the two came up.

Naruse continued to grill the meat, and there was not much beef and beef tongue left on the plate.

"How about it, do you want to order another beef or beef tongue?"

"With this small bowl of cold noodles, I feel like it's almost done...Let's talk after we finish eating." Mori Jian said.

Hai Xing moved a little closer to her, stretching out her chopsticks to grab the grilled meat on the edge of the grill.

She sniffled and moved closer.

"Starfish's hair smells like barbecue... I'm going to take a shower again when I go back."

"what……"

After eating for more than half an hour, the supper was over.

Naruse wiped his mouth, Morimi and Haixing leaned on their seats, tilting their heads slightly.

"It's so supportive..."

He glanced at the time, and in ten minutes, it would be midnight.

"Do you want to rest for a while before going back?"

Mori Jian nodded first, then shook his head, "No, let's walk back slowly."

"also."

She helped Haixing up, and Naruse went to pay the bill.Walking out of the roast meat shop, the outside is even more deserted than when I came here just now.

"Go this way."

"I still know this way."

Naruse looked back at the two of them, "Then you should hurry up."

"Eating too much, I can't walk."

The two followed slowly.

"How much?" Sen Jian asked, and Hai Xing also looked at him.

"Forget it." Naruse shook his head, "I treat you."

"Really, then I'm not going to be polite."

But Hai Xing was overjoyed at first, and then his expression became a little complicated.

"thanks……"

The three continued to walk back.

"Do you still want to go shopping tomorrow?" Mori Jian asked suddenly.

Hai Xing was stunned for a moment, "Didn't you say at night that you will go shopping until eight o'clock?"

"Well, let's go shopping." She seemed to be a little bit out of interest.

Naruse looked at them, "I don't mind going back early tomorrow."

Mori Jian looked over immediately, "I said I want to go shopping."

"Don't force yourself..."

"Go shopping, go shopping!"

"……whatever."

Naruse turned around, and when he turned his head again, his eyes focused on Morimi's face.

"Why does it feel like you have broken a can?"

"right."

She didn't deny it.

"When I came out for supper, I decided to treat it as if I had 'fallen' in the past two days."

Naruse laughed.

"why are you laughing."

"Nothing, I just thought it was a good idea."

"It's the starfish that inspired me."

"Huh?" Starfish looked over.

"'It's all here'..." Sen Jian smiled at her, "That's what Hai Xing said."

Starfish opened its mouth.

What she said probably didn't mean the same thing as what she understood...

Mori smiled again.

"do not mind."

Naruse looked at her: "So during the two days when you 'fall', there are no taboos, can you even drink alcohol?"

"It was a spur of the moment...but that's about it."

Senjian said, and also looked over:
"Narase actually drank in a bar a long time ago? When you were drinking just now, you looked very skilled."

"Don't talk nonsense, you haven't reached the level of proficiency yet."

"That means drinking."

"Ah."

"Just 'huh'?"

"...well, it was hanging out with some 'friends' in middle school, and they offered to drink, and I couldn't say no."

"Did you fail to refuse or did you not refuse?"

"Are you a policeman?"

"This is of great significance to my research on 'what kind of person is Harumi Naruse'."

"You seem to be drunk."

"Ah, I really started to escape."

The two talked to each other, Hai Xing basically had no chance to interrupt, and could only watch from the side.

Yiye, who doesn't talk much, talks a lot when he's with him;

When alone with him—if she was ignored—it was especially talkative.

Is this the resonance among top students...

She just wants to think so.

After walking for another five or six minutes, the three of them finally returned to the front of the hotel building.

"Go up." Mori Jian raised his head and looked at the tall buildings in front of him.

Naruse looked back at her, "Otherwise."

She looked left and right at the deserted street.

"Go up."

Walk into the elevator, press the button on the 21st floor, and the elevator goes up quickly.

"They should all be asleep..." Hai Xing said.

"Ah."

Naruse nodded, besides the floor, the elevator panel also showed the time, "It's past zero."

"Remember to keep your voice down when you close the door." Mori Jian suddenly said, "I told Shangzi that I would go out for supper, but I didn't say that you would come too."

"..."

"After all, you didn't intend to go at the beginning... Isn't this a lie?"

Naruse was silent for a moment.

"Ah."

Ding--

The elevator reached the 21th floor.

Walking out of the elevator, Naruse's room was closer, he stopped to open the door, Morimi and Haixing also slowed down.

Glancing at the door of the next room, she looked at him again and whispered softly, "Good night."

He didn't look at them.

"Good night."

pat-

The sound of the door closing echoed in the corridor, not lightly.

"..."

Sen Jian glanced back, said nothing, and dragged Hai Xing back to the room.

"Starfish go wash first."

"Okay... I won't take a bath, it will be fine soon."

"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry."

Not only was he tired, but he also smelled of barbecue. Instead of lying on the bed, Mori sat down in front of the French window.

The city that is gradually falling into a dream is quiet and peaceful, but the lights are still bright, like a section of the Milky Way that has been taken off.

At this moment, she likes the feeling of hiding in the distance and watching.

It would be even better if the lights could be turned off.

"Good night, Sendai."

Two in the morning.

buzz-

Yiye: It's really fun to drink together today.Let's go together next time, Naruse Harumi-san.

Naruse: You're drunk.What I drank was fruit juice, and the only person who drank alcohol was you, Morimi Ichiyo-san.

Yiye: [Indifference]
Naruse: Don't try to keep the evidence and drag me into the water.

Yiye: You have so many eyes.
