Ome Quartet of Snow Country

Chapter 212 Sakura and the Supermarket

After lunch and leaving the restaurant, Naruse brought Naoko and Haixing to Yoyogi Park.

Today is a sunny day, and it’s spring break again. There are crowds of people in the park, and there are people everywhere.

"The cherry blossoms here bloom so early."

Looking at the overwhelming pink in front of him, Hai Xing didn't know where to stop his gaze, "And there are a lot of cherry blossom trees."

"It's already too late." Naruse said, "Here in Tokyo, early cherry blossoms bloom around mid-to-late February. We are now catching up with the normal cherry blossoms that bloom normally."

"so beautiful……"

Hai Xing looked around and walked to the front, not listening at all.

Shangzi smiled at him, then looked at the lawn under the cherry blossom trees, where picnic mats were everywhere.

"A lot of people have a picnic and enjoy the cherry blossoms here."

"Ah."

"Well……"

Naruse looked at her, "Does Shangzi also want to come here for a picnic?"

"I'm a little excited."

"When my mother is free in a few days, come with her."

"If Auntie comes here..."

"It's okay. A little disguise, it's not so easy to be recognized. And you can come when there are few people."

Shangzi nodded and smiled, "I'll prepare the picnic food then."

"Ah."

The three continued to walk forward.

The grass is green and blooming, and the cherry trees in the park are connected together, becoming more pink and dazzling in the sun.

A gust of wind blows, and the cherry blossoms fly all over the sky, falling on the lawn, the sidewalk, and the palms of starfish.

"call……"

Gently blowing the petals, followed by the eyes, the flying pink quickly mixed into other petals, making it difficult to distinguish.

She looked towards the lawn, and there were many people standing under the cherry blossom trees taking pictures.

Haixing called Naruse and Shangzi to stop, "Let's go over and take some photos."

"Okay."

The two stopped and followed her to the lawn.

There are cherry blossom trees everywhere, and each one is more brilliant than the other.The drooping flower branches are close at hand, and the flowers are full and within reach.

There are also cherry branches holding their heads high, holding up flowers, and pointing to the cloudless blue sky.

Click!

Incorporating both the cherry blossoms and the sky into the lens, Naruse took the first photo.

Shangzi and Haixing didn't go far either, they said they wanted to take a picture, but both of them glanced at him intentionally or unintentionally with empty hands.

"..."

After taking pictures of the cherry blossoms for a long time, Naruse finally noticed and moved the camera to the two of them.

Shangzi is holding a flower, smiling, as if observing.

And after waiting for a long time, she didn't hear the sound of taking pictures, so she turned her head and looked at Naruse again.

Behind the raised mobile phone, he was also looking at her.

"Be natural, it's too contrived."

"..."

Shangzi blushed and pursed his lips.

Click!

"What did Chunhai shoot..." She was taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly leaned over.

Naruse showed her the phone, "Isn't it natural?"

Shangzi looked down.

The cherry blossoms are bright and the sun is just right.

The girl by the tree is holding a flower branch with one hand, her eyes are bright, and there is a smile on her mouth, a little annoyed.

Looking at her, Naruse added another sentence.

"It's also pretty."

Looking at the photo, the corners of Shangzi's mouth curled up.

"Chun Hai took a really good shot."

"Be natural, just pretend I don't exist. I'll find my own time."

"uh-huh."

She went back to the cherry blossom tree and took out her mobile phone to take pictures.

Naruse looked at the starfish, she turned her back to this side, and pressed the shutter against the empty sky.

Click!

The three of them spent half an afternoon shopping in Yoyogi Park, and spent most of the time taking pictures under the cherry blossom trees.

After sending the photos taken to Shangzi and Haixing respectively, Naruse walked in front and led them out of the park.

"Over there is the Meiji Shrine, do you want to go for a stroll?"

"Well... next time, it's very close to the apartment anyway." Shangzi said.

"also."

Hai Xing looked back at the Royal Garden connected to the park, "There is the Royal Garden in an animated movie, is this the place?"

"You mean "The Garden of Words"? That's Shinjuku Gyoen." Naruse said, "But it's not far away. If Starfish wants to go, we can go and have a look."

She nodded.

Leaving from the main entrance of the park, and having no other arrangements in the afternoon, Naruse was going to go straight back to the apartment.

When reaching the intersection, Shangzi suddenly asked: "Is that supermarket that Chunhai used to go to close?"

"It's not too far." Naruse looked at her, "What does Shangzi want to buy?"

"Ingredients for today's dinner."

"Do you want to eat at home?"

"If you have no other arrangements, can you eat at home?"

Naruse didn't know if Matsu Chiaki had any arrangements, and while walking towards the direction where the apartment is also a supermarket, he took out his mobile phone and was about to send a message to ask.

After thinking about it, he sent the message to Miss Sato.

She did reply quickly.

"Because I don't know how long it will be until the end of the night, so there is no arrangement."

"Then eat at home." Shangzi made a decision.

"Yeah." Naruse nodded, and at the same time sent the message.

buzz-

Ms. Sato: Master, will you do it yourself? I really look forward to it.

Miss Sato: I'll send a message when I'm coming back.

Miss Sato: But don't wait too long.If there is no news at eight o'clock, there is no need to wait for us, that's what Ms. Song said.

Naruse: Let's talk about it when the time comes.

Putting away his mobile phone, he walked for a while, and came to the nearest supermarket. Naruse looked at the counter, and there was an unimpressive face inside.

"What's wrong?" Shang Zi asked.

"It's okay." He picked up the shopping basket, "Go in."

Looking at the shelves inside, Naruse added: "There is nothing in the apartment, so let's buy some snacks."

So Starfish also took a shopping basket.

The three watched as they walked, and Naruse and Shangzi went straight to the ingredients area.

Naruse casually picked up a small bag of lettuce, and was about to put it into the shopping basket when Nariko grabbed his wrist.

She squinted her eyes: "Such a few pieces of lettuce cost 230 yen?"

"Hmm...these are prices in Tokyo."

She looked at the other vegetables on the shelf and scanned the prices one by one.

"A garlic is 270 yen, a few green onions are 580 yen, and a broccoli is [-] yen..."

Shangzi's heart skipped a beat.

"It's so expensive! It's much more expensive than Jinqian!"

Naruse smiled helplessly, "Don't compare with the country."

"I don't know what to buy..."

"You can take whatever you want to eat, just like usual, anyway, my mother pays for it."

"Is this the price in Tokyo?"

"This way."

"I will never come to Tokyo to live in the future..."

"The prices here are high, and the income is relatively high."

"That's what you said..." Shangzi looked at the prices of vegetables on the shelves again, "Sure enough, they are still very expensive."

Naruse smiled, and put the vegetables he wanted into the shopping basket.

"You'd better buy it, or you won't have anything to eat tonight."

"Um……"

Shangzi finally made up his mind to pick and choose.

On the other side, Haixing walked around and came over with an empty shopping basket.

"Is there anything you want to buy?" Naruse asked.

Starfish looked at them blankly: "It's so expensive! It's too expensive!"

"...take whatever you want, I'll pay for it."

After shopping around Tokyo's supermarkets with trepidation, Naruse walked back with a big bag of ingredients in one hand and more snacks in the other.

Although they were taken aback by the prices, they would still buy what they should buy as they walked around, and they were not too polite.

Shangzi followed him, "Let me get one."

"It's okay, I can move it."

After walking for a while and returning to the apartment, Naruse walked in front, brushing his face and opening the door below.

Hai Xing pressed the elevator and looked back, "Is that door only for facial recognition?"

"You can also use the key card." Naruse said, "If you come down by yourself, remember to bring the key card."

"Oh……"

Ding--

The elevator has arrived.

Back home, Shangzi took the ingredients to the kitchen and put them into the refrigerator one by one.

Hai Xing carried the remaining snacks, thought about it, and put it in the living room, opened a pack first and ate it.

"It feels no different from cheap snacks in the countryside..."

Naruse didn't say a word, and also opened a package.

At around six o'clock in the evening, Song Qianqiu sent a message, saying that he would be back in an hour.

Shangzi stretched his waist and walked towards the kitchen.

"Let's prepare dinner."
