Ome Quartet of Snow Country

262 - Secret in the dark
Nourishes—

The charcoal that had been doused by the water let out a final neigh, and then fell into a long, silent sleep.

As the smoke cleared, Morimi and Haixing looked at each other.

"The grill is still very hot, just leave it in the yard and clean it up tomorrow."

"All right."

After packing up everything else that could be packed, the two sat down beside the edge and looked at the night sky.

"It's still a little cold at night."

"Ah."

"I didn't expect to eat all three boxes of meat... My stomach is a bit full."

Starfish also touched her stomach, "Because Yiye is so delicious..."

Sen Jian smiled.

The two sat and rested for a while, and she suddenly moved closer to her and sniffed.

"It smells like barbecue."

"Ah." Hai Xing also raised his arms and smelled it, "Fortunately, I have to change clothes tomorrow..."

"Starfish, let's take a bath first. Do you know where my bathroom is?"

"I know."

Starfish got up and went to take a bath first.

Sitting alone by the deserted edge, Morimi stared at the night sky in a daze for a while, then picked up his phone, and clicked on Naruse's chat box to look at it for a while.

Since this semester, or since they became front and rear desks, their contact on mobile phones has become less and less, and there is almost no communication.

And the sudden shortening of the distance did not allow them to have more conversations when getting along.

The first day he and she became classmates was also the first day he and Shangzi started dating.

"..."

After staring at the phone for a while, she lay down on the side.

She didn't know whether she invited Hai Xing to barbecue and stay overnight today to comfort her, or to comfort herself through the process of comforting her.

Obviously this day was destined to come.

Obviously at the beginning, she just wanted to get back into the sight of everyone including him.

Obviously she can see clearly than anyone else.

Reason told her that when he made a choice, it was time to let go, but there was still an emotion in his heart making trouble for no reason.

——But he could only dash back and forth in that narrow space, and couldn't even speak out.

"..."

With a snap, the phone slipped from his hand and landed on the floor.

Tick.

She was lying on her side, her head pressed against the floor, and gradually curled up into a ball.

I don't know how long it took before Starfish came out of the bath.

"Yiye, I've finished washing."

"Ah."

Morimi had already gotten up.

"If Hai Xing is afraid to stay here alone, go upstairs and stay in my room."

"Hey, it's okay..."

"Okay, I'm going to take a shower."

"Uh-huh."

Haixing wiped her hair, sat on the edge for a while, and then went back inside.

Her hair was wet, and it was getting cold for her outside.

Picking up the phone and looking at it, she didn't receive any messages during the time she was taking a shower.

After fiddling with it for a while, she put it down again and brushed her hair a little harder.

After sitting for a while, she stood up and turned around in the big house of Morimi's house.

"Ichiyo's house is really big..."

Although it is very old.

There are no neighbors around. If she is really allowed to live here alone, she will still be afraid.

In order to obtain a quiet study environment, I have lived here alone since middle school. From a certain point of view, Yiye is quite scary...

Thinking wildly, he turned to the door of the bathroom, only to find that the door was open, but the inside was pitch black, and the light was turned off.

"Yiye... are you in there?"

wow-

There was a sound of water in the darkness.

"Ah."

"Why didn't you turn on the light..."

And the door was open.

"I like taking a bath in the dark," Morimi said.

"so……"

Starfish hesitated for a moment, but didn't leave.

Sen Jian listened to the movement outside, "Starfish?"

"Ah."

"Don't worry about me, you go up first."

"It's okay... I have nothing to do when I'm alone."

"I'm going to soak for a long time."

"It doesn't matter."

Senjian didn't say much, but he couldn't really pretend that she didn't exist, and he couldn't let go of his wild thoughts like just now.

"Yiye comes home at night, do you still want to study?" Hai Xing asked suddenly.

"Yeah." She leaned in the bathtub, looking at the darkness outside, "But let's forget about today."

Hai Xing is very clear about the reason why she is willing to give up studying today, "Thank you..."

"I also want to take a break once in a while."

Starfish responded again.

After a while, Morimi finally came to his senses.

"Does Starfish want to say something to me?"

"No... no."

"When I come out of the bath, everything I hear will be washed away with the bath water."

"..."

Her response was a long silence.

Morimi lay down again, stretched his legs, and let his body relax completely.

Since it's not alone, it's almost too late.

time to come out...

wow-

She just sat up straight when Hai Xing finally spoke: "I like Chun Hai."

"..."

Sen Jian pursed her lower lip, before she could think of what to say, she continued.

"I've always liked him since I was a child."

Looks like she didn't need her response either.

Sen Jian leaned back again, listening to Hai Xing continue talking.

"At that time, he also liked me...I think so, I can feel it.

Later, he came to live in my house.

Because I misunderstood his mother and said a lot of hurtful things, our relationship suddenly deteriorated.

But one day, when we were fighting, he suddenly kissed me.

That was the first time I kissed him...

Although his hand is still pinching my neck... Although I scratched a long bloodstain on his face. "

"..."

Although he already knew about the past entanglements between the two from Naruse, it was the first time Morimi had heard such details, and he didn't know what to say when he wanted to speak.

These two are really...

Not too young to play well.

At that time, everyone was still a primary school student, and she lived in the bookstore diagonally opposite, but she didn't know anything.

Starfish continued:

"Then he told me that he had always liked me and told me to stop saying things that hurt his mother, or he would be sad too.

But... I can't help myself not to.

That year, just a few months after my mother passed away, my father married Chunhai's mother... I thought what the neighbor said was true.

I will still say nasty things to her, and I will continue to fight with Chunhai...

But kissing and kissing, and kissing in places where adults can't see, listening to him pinching me while telling me not to say that kind of thing again...

He likes me, but wants me to die right away...that's what he said.

Later, my father and Chunhai's mother divorced again.

Before moving out, he told me that the so-called liking was actually a lie to me, and he just wanted to take revenge on me. "

Starfish choked up.

"I don't believe it's all fake. But... I think it's only natural that he hates me more than he likes me."

"Then he went to Tokyo, and I thought he would never come back, and all our relationships would end... But, he came back."

Her voice dropped, becoming hoarse in depression.

"I found that I still like him... No matter what, I can't completely give up."

The darkness returned to silence.

After a long silence, Morimi took a deep breath.

"Even if he's dating Shangzi now?"

"... now I have given up."

She was startled.

"But tomorrow's me, the me who sees him again...will continue to like him. Even if there is no result."

wow-

Starfish looked inside, she walked out of the dark bathroom naked.

"You really are hopeless."

There was a rustling sound, she was wiping her body.

"However, I almost understand why he can't let go of Starfish."

"Eh……"

"But he has already started dating Shang Zi. All Hai Xing can do now is to let go of everything in the past and focus on his own affairs."

Starfish was silent for a moment.

"I understand...but I can't do it."

Mori pursed his lips and sighed inwardly.

Everyone understands the truth, but the problem is that it cannot be done.
