Ome Quartet of Snow Country

Chapter 256 Decision
Hikaru Takikawa was lying on the table, his eyes were blank, completely opposite to the expectation when he first came here.

"..."

After reading the book for a while, seeing that she was still in this state, Naruse had no choice but to speak.

"You don't even have a general direction. Of course, I don't know what advice I can give you... Besides, I'm not as nonsense as Haixing. Being a makeup artist is her own idea. I just planned it for her. The path to becoming a makeup artist at once.”

Hikaru Takikawa lay on his stomach without moving, his eyes rolled around, and he looked over.

"Give me back the juice."

"..."

Naruse pushed the half-drunk apple juice to her.

She closed her eyes and sighed again.

"If I can find the direction, I won't need to ask Chunhai for help..."

Naruse didn't speak, but opened the juice and took another sip.

She opened her eyes and looked at him again.

"I'll buy another bottle and return it to you later."

"...No more."

Takigawa rolled his eyes, turned his head, and continued to lie on the other side.

Looking at the back of her head, Naruse ignored her and continued to read the book.

After a while, her phone vibrated.

"Ah, the starfish is still waiting outside."

"If you just want to find her, let her go as soon as possible... No, forget it. I don't have anything to do later, let her do what she wants."

Hikaru Takikawa looked at him, lowered his head and sent a message on his mobile phone. After a while, he suddenly said:
"I sent Starfish over here."

"She agreed?"

"Ah."

Naruse raised his eyebrows, but said nothing.

After another ten minutes, Hai Xing returned to the repair department with Takikawa Hikari's schoolbag.

"Ah, I forgot the bag was still there. Thanks, Starfish."

"nothing……"

Haixing was talking to her, and he couldn't help but glance at Naruse who was aside.

Takikawa Hikari didn't say anything in the news, and she didn't know if he was still angry, and since he came in from her to now, he hasn't said a word, it's even harder for her to guess.

"Sit down." Hikari Takikawa patted the empty seat next to him.

"Um……"

Haixing sat down beside her, further away from Naruse.

But Takikawa Hikaru's a little bit of energy soon dissipated, and he lay down on the table listlessly.

"What happened to the light?"

"I was deceived by you." Naruse said suddenly, "Sora was happy."

"Eh?"

Hai Xing looked at him, then at Takikawa Hikari, "What did I say?"

"Haixing said just now that Chunhai planned the future for you, right?"

"Well, almost..."

Hikaru Takikawa lay on the table and looked at her, "But Haixing didn't say that it was your original plan to be a makeup artist."

"Hey, didn't I say that?"

"..."

The other two in the room took a deep breath at the same time.

"So don't count on me." Naruse said to Takikawa Hikari.

She didn't speak, and buried her face on the table again.

After looking at her for a while, Haixing looked back at Naruse.

He took the initiative to answer her words just now, is he not angry anymore?

"How are you thinking?" Naruse suddenly looked over.

"Huh?" Hai Xing was taken aback.

With his eyes, he pointed to the school materials that she deliberately held and confiscated.

"Didn't you just go out and think about it?"

"..."

Starfish was silent for a moment, then nodded again.

"Is there any result?"

"As a result... I want to think about it for a while."

"Don't worry. Strictly speaking, you even have two years."

Naruse withdrew his gaze and stared at the book, but couldn't put himself into it again soon.

"Sorry, I spoke a little louder just now."

He suddenly apologized, and Hai Xing opened his mouth.

"No, I'm..."

"However, I still want Starfish to understand what I mean:
Your own life is the responsibility of only you.

I can't take on such a heavy responsibility to decide the future for you, and I don't want to take on..."

"—Eh, I actually want Harumi to decide the future for me." Takikawa Hikaru suddenly turned his head and said.

"...Don't make trouble." Naruse suddenly felt a headache.

Takikawa got down on the ground again after finishing speaking, she still hasn't found her way yet.

Starfish was silent for a while, then said:
"Then can you give me some advice?"

"As long as you..."

"I make my own decisions," she said.

Naruse nodded.

Hai Xing handed over the information, and he shook his head.

"No, I've already memorized it. It's for you."

"Oh."

Across Takigawa Hikaru who was lying in the middle, the two of them asked and answered, screening all kinds of conditions that Haixing could think of-although she could find the answers to her questions in the information.

Hikaru Takikawa listened for a while, sat up, changed places with Hai Xing, and continued to watch them from the sidelines.

After about 20 minutes, the information in Haixing's hand has been filled with circles.

After looking back and forth between the four charts, she finally put the information of Shanye on the top.

"Then the mountains?"

Naruse just looked at her.

Starfish pouted.

"...Then it's the mountains."

He just nodded.

"Congratulations." Takikawa Hikari clapped his hands beside him.

"You can take the general entrance examination for Yamano after graduating from high school normally, so now, make sure you can graduate smoothly."

"...There should be no problem with this."

Naruse continued: "Leaving aside the practical ability, it is necessary to improve the basic aesthetic quality and aesthetic level. The experience I heard from a makeup artist who has worked for more than five years is that I usually look at fashion more. Magazines, pay more attention to trendy people on ins, get familiar with their makeup, understand their style.

It may not have much effect in a short period of time, but under subtle influence, it can still improve some aesthetics... After all, there are too few things that can be touched in the countryside. "

Hai Xing listened carefully, and finally nodded to show that he had listened.

"You remember to discuss with Mr. Seiichiro after you go back, so that he can make preparations earlier—whether it's about tuition fees or other issues."

"Uh-huh."

"That's it." Naruse had nothing more to say.

Hai Xing nodded, then suddenly asked:
"Which school do I choose, you will say that?"

Naruse glanced at her, "Does what I said later have anything to do with which school you choose?"

"No……"

"That's it."

"But...but..."

Hai Xing spent a long time, but couldn't find the right words to express his meaning.

Naruse didn't ask either.

Takikawa Hikari looked at the two of them from the side, thoughtfully.

The time after school passed slowly, and the two uninvited guests didn't leave, they just stayed at the restoration department until Shangzi came up after finishing his work.

"Ah, has the light come today?"

"Actually, I was going to find Shangzi, but was interrupted by the sudden appearance of Starfish."

"Really?" Shangzi smiled, then looked at Naruse who started to pack his schoolbag, "Let's talk while walking."

He locked the door and the four of them left the school together.

Hikaru Takikawa followed slowly on his motorcycle, and when he arrived at the bus platform, he took the starfish with him just like yesterday.

"See you tomorrow."

"Goodbye. Be careful on the road."

After watching the two of them leave by bicycle, Shangzi looked at Naruse again, and stretched out her hand.

He took her hand.

The two smiled at each other.

"A few first-year freshmen came to visit the handicraft club today, and they have already decided to join."

"It's so positive."

"Because we are just preparing the works for the next week's exhibition, we should be attracted by this atmosphere when we work together."

"It's better to be led by the minister."

Shangzi turned his head and smiled, leaning on his shoulder again.

The two held hands, and after waiting for a while, the bus came.

Get in the car, wobble all the way back to Qingliu, and go to the supermarket to buy ingredients today, the two of them have to go home and put down their schoolbags first.

When they got home, the two put away their schoolbags and sat down to rest for a while.

"The ingredients in the refrigerator can still be used overnight."

"I still have to prepare tomorrow's breakfast and bento."

"Ok."

Naruse sat for a while, and just when he stood up, Shangzi stopped him.

"..."

He turned his head, but she just looked at him, tilting her head slightly.

She's his girlfriend now...

Naruse's long black hair flowed through his fingers, and Naruse bent down.

Feeling the tension and anticipation in the hot breath, when she closed her eyes, he also covered her lips.
