Ome Quartet of Snow Country

Chapter 253
The next morning, the weather was not so good, the sky was dark and cloudy.

Hai Xing got up a little late, and when he came to the bus platform, the three companions who also took the bus to school had already arrived.

After chatting casually for a while, she looked at Naruse, saw that he was distracted looking aside, and didn't intend to speak, so she asked:
"How's it going?"

"..."

He recovered and quickly realized what she was asking.

"A little bit."

"Oh..." Hai Xing was not surprised, "I'm not in a hurry."

But he didn't seem to hear, "It will be done as soon as possible."

Starfish looked at him and nodded.

Sen looked over, "What are you talking about?"

"Haixing wants to be a makeup artist, so I found some information about beauty schools for her," Naruse said.

"Eh……"

She froze for a while, then blinked again, looking at Haixing.

"Is that right?"

"Yes... forgot to tell Yiye."

I actually said I forgot...

Sen Jian took a deep breath, thought for a while before asking, "When did this happen?"

"It was decided in two days."

She felt a little better, and looked at Naruse again.

"He made the decision for you?"

Starfish nodded.

Naruse glanced at her.

"It's Haixing who has this idea, I just helped her make up her mind."

Starfish nodded again.

Mori Jian glanced back and forth between the two faces, and asked Hai Xing, "Is this the result of going to Tokyo this time?"

"Yeah. We went to the set a few days ago and saw a makeup artist doing makeup on Chunhai's mother... I felt like I could do this job too."

"What about the actual situation?" She asked again.

"Not too optimistic." Naruse said abruptly.

"Eh--"

Hai Xing was extremely dissatisfied with his sudden statement, "Yesterday you said you believed me."

"Believe it or not, but it is difficult to become a professional makeup artist. If you still hold the current light-hearted mentality, then you are really not optimistic."

"...It's not very light." Hai Xing muttered softly.

"Do I have to go to beauty school to be a makeup artist?" Morimi asked.

"This is the most important and most reliable way."

Naruse nodded, "I found some information about beauty schools for her and let her choose by herself."

"Isn't this great, Hai Xing finally found what he wanted to do." Mori Jian said.

Although I regret that I didn't help Hai Xing in this matter, it is still a happy thing that she can find her goal and direction.

"Mmmmm~"

"Narase is right, the starfish is really too light."

"Where is it?"

Mori Jian looked at her: "Haixing now looks like she has become a makeup artist instead of just setting a goal. You are easy to be hit like this-this sentence is not meant to hit you."

"..."

She spoke seriously, and Hai Xing had to face up to her mentality.

"I'm just happier...then what should I do?"

"Normal." Naruse said.

"I need to be more serious, more serious, and truly regard becoming a makeup artist as my only goal for the next ten years." Mori Jian added based on his mentality when he was studying.

Naruse glanced at her.

"Of course, you don't need to be so serious that you will die if you get frustrated once."

"..."

Senjian sneered and didn't bother to pay attention to him.

Starfish looked at them.

"You talk so abstractly."

"Forget it." Naruse took a deep breath, "Before I finish sorting out the materials, you can float first."

"……Oh."

After a while, Hikaru Takikawa came to the platform on a motorcycle.

"Good morning~"

After saying hello to the four of them, she patted the back seat, and the meaning was obvious.

Haixing looked at Sen Jian, but she said, "Haixing and Guang go to school together."

"Ah good."

Hai Xing didn't refuse either, and sat behind Hikari Takikawa, and the two set off first.

Watching them disappear on the other side of the Lower Green Willow Bridge, Morimi slowly said:
"I didn't expect Starfish to go to Tokyo and find the target."

"She probably had a similar idea a long time ago, and going to Tokyo is just an opportunity." Naruse said.

"But I didn't realize it before."

"You are not the same kind of people."

She fell silent for a moment.

"You're right... that's fine, Haixing finally has something to do, and I can focus on my studies."

Mori turned to look at him, "I'm going to go to the juku to sign up after school this afternoon. Sign up for one semester first."

"Really." Naruse had nothing else to say, "Come on."

Senjian looked at him again, hesitant to speak.

"The bus is coming." Shangzi, who hadn't spoken much, said suddenly.

She took a step forward, one hand stretched back.

Holding her hand, Naruse also turned his head to look in the direction of the bus and waited quietly.

"..."

Mori Jian stared at the hands they held together, and suddenly felt that they were a little unusually close.

Squeezing onto the bus and arriving at the school, the three of them separated at the stairs on the fourth floor.

Naruse waved his hand, Naoko smiled and turned to go to Class C.

"I always feel that Shangzi seems to be very relaxed today." Walking into the classroom of Class A of the second year, Morimi said.

Naruse walked in front, "Yeah."

After saying hello to Ogasawara who had come over, she quickened her pace to follow him.

"Have you nothing else to say?"

The seats for the two have already arrived.

Naruse sat down, hung his schoolbag aside, and looked up at her:
"We're dating."

"..."

Sen Jian was stunned for a moment, then sat down slowly, and only after a while did he remember to hang his schoolbag beside the desk.

After a while, she turned around:
"Are you serious?"

"Yeah." Naruse nodded.

"Really, it was so sudden."

Sen Jian turned half of his body back, looked out the window, and was stunned for a while.

Dark clouds gathered, a heavy rain was coming, and the classroom with the lights turned on was much brighter than the outside.

Her slack gaze stayed on the thick clouds flowing outside the window for a while, and she focused her gaze a little, and she saw her own blank face on the glass.

"It was too sudden...why?"

"Because I like Shangzi, and Shangzi also likes me." Naruse said.

"Isn't that the case a long time ago? I didn't see you guys dating back then."

She turned her head, looked at him and continued:
"Didn't Naruse say that the so-called love is actually a consumable? I thought you would hold such dark thoughts and stay in a dank corner full of slugs, never daring to speak to Shangzi for the rest of your life."

"It's hard to say."

Naruse glanced at her, "Even if you are a slug, you want to see the sunshine outside occasionally."

"Then wait to be sunburned to death."

"You seem angry."

"..."

Sen Jian suddenly calmed down.

After another minute or two, she finally said, "Is it because of the shift?"

"almost."

Mori took a deep breath.

"When Shang Zi saw the situation of class division yesterday, he absolutely never thought that it would end up like this."

Naruse pursed his lower lip, but said nothing.

Last night, after careful confirmation twice, Shangzi covered his face and cried for a long time.

Morimi looked at him, "Can Naruse finally face his future directly now?"

"I don't want to be with slugs all the time either. I want to see the sun outside, even if I get sunburned."

"You're not a slug...you weren't any more when you had that thought."

"Going to Tokyo, has it changed you so much?" Morimi looked at him, "The same is true for starfish, I even want to go to Tokyo to see."

Naruse smiled.

"Next time I have a chance, I will bring Sen to meet."

She looked at him for a while longer.

"Congratulations."

"Ah."

"Does starfish know?"

Before he could answer, she shook her head herself.

"I definitely don't know, or I won't be able to laugh in the morning."

"……Um."

"When are you going to tell her?"

"When the time comes, she will be told." Like now.

"Are you ready to face your ex-girlfriend's tears?"

"..."

Naruse fell silent for a moment.

"Since it's my ex-girlfriend, it doesn't matter if I date Shangzi now."

"..."

Mori opened his mouth.

actually admitted...

The so-called ex-girlfriend.

She finally realized that he seemed to have really broken free from the shackles of the past and was ready for a new beginning.

And what was left behind at the same time was...

"If Hai Xing associates being a makeup artist with you..."

"That means she is not suitable to be a makeup artist."

boom -

The two looked out the window at the same time.

The dull thunder echoed in the thick clouds.

The cold spring has not subsided, and the first thunder in spring has already resounded through the sky.
