Ome Quartet of Snow Country

Chapter 297 Starfish's After School
Shortly after the second class in the afternoon, Zhong Yuanxue, a teacher, walked into the classroom and started today's evening class meeting.

"Tomorrow's school trip, our class C is going to the apple processing factory in the west of the city..."

Hai Xing sat down and listened, looking at the teacher on the stage with rare seriousness.

"A group of two, before the time for free action, you can't run around at will, you have to follow the teacher and the factory..."

Tomorrow is the time for field trips. The second grade class has been divided into several groups by lottery, and the places to go are also different.

The destination of class A and the other class is the apple park in the west of the city, and the apple processing factory where the group of class C is going is not far from there.

As for Class E where Hikaru Takikawa was, the place of observation was another factory in the east of the city, and she was very depressed about it.

"Before tomorrow morning, you have to find your team members."

Zhong Yuanxue emphasized, "Tomorrow's school field trip has homework, and it needs two people to complete it together."

The enthusiasm of the students below was slightly hit.

"Yes……"

Hai Xing also echoed, and then turned to look at Shang Zi who was sitting on the other side.

She looked at her too, eyes connected, she smiled and nodded.

The team was successful.

After explaining some more things, Zhong Yuanxue announced that school was over.

Haixing got up and went to Shangzi to confirm, "Shangzi wants to form a team with me."

"of course."

"Then I told the chairman."

"uh-huh."

Reporting the members of the two-person team to the chairman, she turned around and saw that Shangzi had already gone to find her boyfriend from Class A.

"It's real wood and this flower, right?"

"Correct!"

After Haixing packed up her things and walked out of the classroom, Shangzi also came out from Class A.

Before going to the club, go there to say hello to him, this is her recent habit.

"I went to the department room."

"Uh-huh."

Watching Shangzi go down the stairs, Haixing looked at the classroom on the other side of the corridor.

She walked over, and Naruse and Morimi really hadn't left yet, they were sitting and chatting at the back of the classroom.

And in the process of "passing by" for the first time, Mori Jian stopped her.

"It's like this every day, can't the starfish come in directly?"

"..."

So straightforward!

Starfish blushed a bit, pretending not to understand.

"The responsibility is still on you." Morimi said to Naruse again.

He rolled his eyes and didn't bother to pay attention to her.

Hai Xing looked at the two of them, and suddenly thought of the gossip he heard yesterday afternoon when he was working in the coffee shop:

Yesterday morning, the first grade and the second grade had a quarrel in the classroom;

Then the first grade hugged the second grader, kissed for 5 minutes, and the two got back together again...

It's all messed up.

Of course she wouldn't believe it.

But she could also vaguely feel that since yesterday, the relationship between the two of them seemed to have gotten closer.

Although she couldn't tell exactly where it was...but she had this feeling.

The two of them were silent, and she took the initiative to ask, "Is Yiye going to study in a private school today?"

"Well. But you can go later, there is a quiz today, and it will start later."

"During the golden week, is the juku still in class?" Naruse asked casually.

"Let's go to class. Do you want to ask me out?"

"No."

"Then what are your plans?" Sen Jian asked again.

He stopped talking.

She turned around a bit more, and directly said her guess: "Where are you and Shangzi going?"

"Forgot. I'll ask Shangzi tonight."

"..."

During Golden Week, will he take Shangzi to travel?

Starfish looked at him.

Will you call them?

Mori Jian asked what was on her mind: "Will you call us?"

"No." Naruse replied quickly.

"Neither do I."

"Then don't ask."

She sneered, and finally asked again.

"Where are you going?"

"Morioka. I don't want to go too far."

"Go for what?"

"Go to Gosho Lake to soak in the hot springs, and then go to Koiwai Farm." Naruse said.

Senjian didn't speak, and looked at the table with both eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a brief silence, she stood up.

"Haixing is going to work today, right?"

"Huh?...Um."

She walked out, "Then let's go together."

"it is good……"

Hai Xing nodded, looked at Naruse again, and followed Mori.

The two walked out of the classroom, and just a few steps down the stairs, Takikawa Hikaru came down from the stairs.

"Starfish, Yiye."

After waving to the two, she went to Class A.

"Let's go."

"Ah."

Walking out of the teaching building, the two walked outside the school.

"It's still early, I'll go sit with Haixing for a while."

"Okay."

Mori Jian raised the schoolbag on his shoulder, and slowed down a little, "Do you have any plans for Starfish Golden Week?"

"Well... working at home." Hai Xing said.During the golden week, the cafes with students as the main customers also had little business.

Sen Jian smiled.

"I think so too..."

"What about Yiye?"

"study."

The two smiled at each other.

"If you're bored, starfish can come to me."

"Uh-huh."

Leaving the school and walking towards the coffee shop, Takikawa Hikari and Naruse chased him up from behind.

"We're going to the training center~"

"Be careful on the road."

Looking at the shrinking back in front of him, Morimi said, "Does Haixing want to travel with him?"

"Hey... he won't agree."

She sighed softly.

"Yes."

Starfish looked at her.

Is there any point in asking the question just now...

After walking for too long, we arrived at Yumino Cafe.

The two went in together, Mori stopped at the front desk, and Hai Xing went straight to the locker room.

When she changed into the work uniform of the coffee shop and came out, Morimi had already found a seat by the window and sat down.

"Maki, the coffee at table seven."

"Ok!"

Starfish picked up the tray and sent it to table number seven.

"One more cup of coffee," said a guest at a nearby table.

"Okay. How about some coffee?"

"Just the same."

Back at the front desk, Hai Xing said to another clerk inside: "The guest at table six wants another cup of the same coffee."

"OK, let me see..."

The one or two hours after school is the busiest time here.

Hai Xing was busy up and down, bringing coffee and dessert, the delicious food was right in front of him, but he couldn't take a bite.

"Maki, table number two."

She went over with a small cake, only to realize that it was Sen Jian's point.

"Thank you."

She smiled at her, and suddenly asked: "There is no rule in the store that you are not allowed to eat during working hours, right?"

"It is stipulated..."

"What if it's a guest's request?"

"According to the requirements of the guests..."

Mori Jian smiled again, scooped up a small piece of cake, "Let's have a taste."

Hai Xing quickly looked at the stage in front of him, lowered his head and ate the cake on the spoon.

"Well--"

The cream melts in the mouth for supreme bliss.

"Delicious!"

"Another piece?"

Starfish shook her head, "One bite is enough."

Will eat more and more want to eat.

"thanks……"

Mori Jian just smiled, scooped up a small piece of cake, and ate it.

Starfish went back to keep busy.

Eating dessert and drinking slightly bitter coffee, Morimi looked out the window absently, and occasionally looked back at his friends who were running around.

After the cake was finished and the coffee in the cup bottomed out, it was time for her to leave.

"Haixing, I'm off to school."

"All right."

Watching Morimi leave, another girl from the same class who just started working here yesterday asked, "Is that Morimi Ichiyo?"

"Yes."

"No. [-] in grade... No, it should be said to be the first in grade before. Is Maki familiar with her?"

"Well, she is my childhood sweetheart." Hai Xing said, "and also my best friend."

It was busy until it was almost six o'clock, and there were gradually no customers in the store.

Although the main customers are students, they are not the only ones. The cafe is usually open until ten o'clock in the evening during non-winter seasons, but Starfish's part-time working hours are up to now.

Going back to the locker room to change into her own clothes, she said goodbye to the store manager and several colleagues from the same school.

"Thanks for your hard work--"

"Thanks for your hard work."

"Bye-Bye!"

"Be careful on the way back."

"Ok."

After leaving the cafe, Hai Xing didn't go anywhere else, and went straight to the bus platform.

On the way, she glanced at the message she had received before.

Yiye: Have you finished your part-time job? I'm going back.

Starfish: It's over!

Yiye: I'll wait for you at the bus stop.

Starfish: Mmmm~
But when she got there, she realized that Shangzi was also there.

During the recent period, Naruse was learning motorcycles at the teaching institute, and he was only responsible for picking up and dropping off, and it was often the three of them who went back together.

And it won't last long, she thought.

When he got his driver's license and bought a car, he would ride home with Shangzi.

"starfish."

As they got closer, Shangzi greeted him.

"Shangzi, Yiye."

The three of them chatted and waited, and the bus came in a short while.

Back home, before dinner, Hai Xing went upstairs and lay down on the bed.

A normal day ended like this...

drip-

"Mr. Seiichiro."

"Oh, it's Guanghe Chunhai."

"..."

Hearing the movement downstairs, Hai Xing quickly got up, opened the window, and lay down beside the window.

Below, the two people on the motorcycle also raised their heads at the same time.

"Starfish~" Hikari Takikawa greeted, and Naruse also nodded to her.

They just stopped to say hello to Seiichiro Maki who was standing in front of the store, and then left again.

Watching the figures of the two disappear, Hai Xing lay back on the bed again.

A normal day ended like this.
