Ome Quartet of Snow Country

Chapter 258 Difficulties and Disturbances

It was past ten o'clock in the evening when Naruse received a call from Matsu Chiaki.

He just came up from downstairs, closed the door and connected the phone.

"I'm ready for bed."

"It's not that I haven't slept yet."

"What are you calling so late for?"

"Is it late? Mom just came home." Song Qianqiu said.

Naruse lay down on the bed, "Did you go out to socialize again tonight?"

"Well, at Chiyoda's side, it's a big party, and the organizer invited a lot of people."

"Didn't drink too much wine?"

"Drink a little."

Naruse still remembered how she drank too much, and judging from the fact that she was still able to communicate with him soberly, she probably didn't drink much at night.

"Ah."

After chatting a few more words about her affairs, Song Qianqiu finally explained his purpose, "Has the matter with Haixing been resolved?"

"Well, she chose Shanye."

"Mountain...it's very good, it's relatively close to the apartment, so I can sleep late in the morning."

"She's not here to play."

"Don't be so serious. Chunhai is already looking old-fashioned before he is old enough to be a father. Girls will dislike him if he does so."

"..."

Naruse rolled his eyes, and simply put on an old-fashioned look: "If you let Haixing live alone with you, you will definitely be spoiled within a month."

"That's fine, let Haixing stay at home with me."

Naruse looked at the ceiling and said nothing.

Over there laughed, and said:
"Isn't there still Chunhai here?"

"I'm not going to Tokyo."

"Obviously there are so many famous schools here in Tokyo... Even if Harumi doesn't want to bother to go to Tokyo University, there are schools like Waseda, Shangzhi, and Keio."

"It's still comfortable to stay in the country."

"Comfortable... the spoiled person is actually Chunhai."

Song Qianqiu sighed softly, and didn't say much.

Even if it wasn't as positive as she expected, at least he was thinking about the future now.

The way he carefully planned the future for Hai Xing also made her happy-the process of hard work now, and the positive attitude hidden in it, the future will inevitably fall on himself.

"Forget it, let's talk about it when Chunhai is more active."

"Ah."

He responded without avoiding it.

"The school has been chosen, there are no other problems with Haixing, what does Mr. Seiichiro say?"

"I don't know yet, I'll ask her tomorrow."

"If you have any difficulties with tuition fees, you can come to me." Song Qianqiu continued.

"Even if there are difficulties, it will be difficult for Mr. Seiichiro to talk to his ex-wife." Naruse said casually, "Starfish was going to live with you."

Song Qianqiu froze for a moment, then quickly laughed.

"Hey~ Will Haruhi think about things from an adult's point of view now?"

"..."

Naruse pursed his lower lip, his face was a little hot, "I said it casually."

"No, Chun Hai is right."

Song Qianqiu pondered for a while, "How about this, Chunhai will ask about the specific situation tomorrow, and the rest of the mothers will come up with a solution."

"Ah."

Naruse responded, and suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, do you still have those fashion magazines at home?"

"Fashion magazines? It should still be there, I'll look for it..."

The rustling movement lasted for a while, Song Qianqiu said quickly: "It's still there."

"Send it back to Haixing for a look."

After all, fashion magazines are not cheap, and it is hard to say whether they can be bought here.

"Ah, if you want to go the fashion route, it's really time for Haixing to get in touch with these things more... No problem, I'll ask Yoko to pack and send these magazines to Chunhai tomorrow."

"It's for Starfish."

"Send it to Chunhai, and Chunhai will give it to Haixing."

"Why do you have to do this extra..."

"Well--"

Song Qianqiu didn't answer, but stretched a long way.

"That's how it is. It's getting late, and Chun Hai should go to bed earlier. Good night~"

"……Good night."

The next morning, while waiting for Haixing at the bus platform, Naruse asked about yesterday's situation.

"Dad said no problem, he will support me." Haixing said.

Naruse was not surprised.

After thinking for a while, he said again:

"Other aspects, such as fees and so on... The expenses in Tokyo are very high. Although you live in my house, there are still a lot of places where you need to spend money."

"Are you talking about tuition fees? Dad said our family can still afford it... I'm also going to start saving money."

Hai Xing looked at him, "No matter what, I will definitely become a makeup artist."

Although she didn't know where her sudden determination came from, Naruse nodded.

"My mother said that she would send you back the fashion magazines she read."

"Eh...thank you."

The first week of school was busy and fulfilling, and the time passed quickly, and it was Friday afternoon in a blink of an eye.

Naruse stayed alone in the department room, looking through the meeting minutes of the restoration department last semester.

Next week will be the day when the major associations in Jingao will officially start recruiting new students.

Although the current Restoration Department is a bit special—it is more like a window for restoration services than a club, and it is not planning to recruit new students—but it is also an excellent promotional opportunity, and he does not want to miss it.

So be prepared.

According to the club recruitment arrangement announced by the Student Union at noon today, after school from next Monday to Wednesday, all major clubs will participate in the club exhibition in the gymnasium, that is, introduce their own clubs within 5 minutes to attract new students;
On Thursday afternoon, there will be a recruiting meeting for all clubs in the school's atrium.

The time for the Restoration Department to participate in the exhibition is on Tuesday afternoon.

Naruse took a pen of a different color and wrote circles on the meeting minutes, preparing for the exhibition.

His purpose is to publicize rather than recruit new people, and he will bring it to the exhibition when the time comes, it's just his own mouth.

"Well, I don't need this sentence..."

He drew a red line under a paragraph, and crossed out the sentence [Join the repair department, let's work hard together].

At a certain moment, he raised his head and looked towards the door of the department room.

"...Why are you always elusive?"

Starfish stood at the door, poking his head.

"I wanted to knock on the door. Seeing how serious you are, I didn't want to disturb you..."

"You might as well just knock on the door."

"Can I come in?"

Naruse didn't comment.

A few days ago, I helped her choose a school. She stayed away for two days, but she didn't expect to come here again today.

He didn't speak, but Hai Xing came in anyway, sat down beside him, then took out a book from his bag and flipped through it.

"..."

Naruse glanced at it, a little helpless, "My mother sent it to you, not for you to take it to school to read."

What she was holding in her hand was the magazine that Song Qianqiu sent back from Tokyo, it arrived yesterday, and after he returned home, he changed hands and sent it to the Shinki Hotel.

"It's not class time...I promise I didn't watch it during class."

Naruse didn't say anything, sat aside and continued with his own business.

"what are you busy with."

"Community matters."

"need my help?"

"unnecessary."

"..."

After a while, she spoke again:
"Give me an application for membership."

"No."

"Impossible not."

"I've never seen anything like that."

Haixing turned to look at the filing cabinet in the corner of the department room.

"Can I find it myself?"

Naruse sighed.

As long as she is still here, it is impossible for him not to be disturbed.

"What can you do if you join."

"I can help you."

"unnecessary."

"...I just want to find a place to stay." Hai Xing confessed half of it.

"Otherwise, there is no place to go after school, and if you go out to play, you will spend money randomly..."

"Go to Shangzi's place."

"There are too many people in the handicraft society, and I don't know anything, so I don't bother them."

She immediately added: "I'll just stay here and won't disturb you."

Naruse watched her for a while.

"I started dating Shangzi."

"It's okay... right?"

Hai Xing blinked, his eyes straightened, and the smile on his face disappeared.

"You lied to me."
