Ome Quartet of Snow Country

Chapter 307 Hotel in the Rain
Shangzi was lying on the tatami mat, holding on to nothing with both hands, but he couldn't grasp anything.

Sometimes he clenched his fists, sometimes he opened them, and his hands, which had nowhere to rest, kept opening and closing.

The heart beat faster and faster, and finally ushered in a blank daze.

Naruse climbed up, kissed his girlfriend on the cheek, and then lay down beside her.

The rain outside was still falling, pattering down in the yard, smashing out rainflowers.

The rainwater gathered, and the ditch outside the courtyard was rushing.

After a while, Shangzi came back to his senses, turned over and lay down in his arms.

Even though she was pleased by him once, she was still embarrassed to say it.

"I forgot where I saw it."

Shangzi closed his eyes and rubbed against his shoulder.

"I thought Chunhai wouldn't look at this kind of thing... After all, ordinary boys would hide under the bed or something, but there is nothing in Chunhai's room."

"The things in my room are basically brought back from Tokyo, of course there won't be any... I can't put that kind of thing in a cardboard box in front of my mother."

"In other words, it turns out that there are some in Tokyo."

"A few of them were given to me by my friends in middle school. I forgot to throw them away, so I kept them there. I didn't remember to deal with them until I moved back last year."

Shang Zi turned his head and nibbled lightly on his shoulder.

"Chun Hai never told me..."

"How can you tell Shangzi about this kind of thing?"

She bit again, then lay back in his arms, her body pressed even tighter.

Then I felt the renewed vitality after he released it once.

"..."

Staring at his belly, Shangzi whispered, "Does Chunhai want to be the last?"

Naruse looked down at her, leaned up and hugged her tightly.

"Wait until Shangzi no longer feels scared."

Putting her head against his chest, listening to the strong heartbeat in his chest, Shangzi hugged him too.

"It's not that I'm scared... I'm just...not ready."

"Then wait for Shangzi to get ready."

To take the last step, to become his person completely, for her, means the beginning of a new stage of life.

It also means that she can break away from her current host family.

Then, spend the rest of her life to repay her adoptive parents who have raised her up to now...

But when I think of their faces, the thought of leaving is hard to sustain.

How should she talk to her adoptive parents? On the first day she came to Hua's house, she was already thinking about how to leave.

Both parents died, and they lived under the fence.

When her biological parents passed away suddenly, she was already sensible, and no matter how kind her adoptive parents were to her later, it would be difficult to erase the depression in her heart.

This is not her home, she always thought.

But her adoptive parents never treated her badly, and she stayed in Hua's house year after year amidst depression and self-blame for feeling depressed.

She is also very grateful to her adoptive parents for taking them in and raising them, and she wants to repay them, but she doesn't want her leaving to hurt their hearts.

And the more time passes, the harder it is to find a perfect answer to this dilemma.

It would be great if Haruhi could make all the decisions for her.

She just wants to hide behind him, doesn't care about anything, doesn't ask anything, just pretends that she doesn't know anything...

Touching his girlfriend's smooth back, Naruse wanted to say something, but suddenly felt a burst of moisture in his chest.

"..."

He lowered his head, "What's wrong?"

Shangzi wiped his face and shook his head again.

"I just feel very happy...to be able to travel with Chunhai, and to have a relationship with Chunhai."

Naruse was silent for a while, then hugged her tightly.

"Don't suddenly say something like saying goodbye."

She kissed his heart and closed her eyes.

"I won't leave Chunhai."

"I will not leave Shangzi either."

The two hugged naked and lay down for a while, when there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Mr. Naruse, you and Miss Konoka's clothes are dry."

"..."

The two hurriedly put on the bathrobes, Naruse responded vaguely, and waited for Shangzi to put on the outer clothes before getting up and going over.

He opened the door and took his monk's clothes from the female general, "Sorry, I've been waiting for a long time."

"where."

The female general bowed slightly, without taking another look into the room, she closed the door and left.

Putting the dried clothes on the table, Naruse sat down again, and Naoko took off the yukata she just put on, and put on her underwear.

"It's still raining outside."

"Ah."

The sliding door leading to the small courtyard was open, and the sound of rain was pattering, and occasionally fine raindrops were blown in, bringing a little bit of coolness.

They couldn't go out even under such heavy rain, so the two stayed in the room, listening to the rain bored.

Click!

Shangzi took a picture of the small courtyard outside.

buzz-

Naruse quickly saw this photo in the group.

Yiye: Is it a homestay?

Shangzi: It’s a hot spring hotel.

Yiye: What a beautiful yard.

Haixing: It should be very expensive...

Hikari: Is it raining in Morioka? It’s just a little cloudy here in Tsumae.

Shangzi: The rain was so heavy that Haruhi and I were soaked, and we just got out of the shower.

There was a little silence in the group.

Guang: I want to see what the room looks like.

Shangzi: All right.

She raised her phone again, turned around slowly, took a video of the interior of the room including Naruse, and sent it to the group.

Guang: What a big room.

Guang: Very expensive, right?
Naruse sent the cost of the accommodation to the group.

Guang: So expensive!

Ichiba: Considering this size, it’s not too expensive, right?

Naruse: It's a little out of the way here.

Yiye: No wonder.

Guang: What is it like outside?
Shangzi looked at Naruse, "Let's go outside the room and have a look."

"Okay."

The two took the key and left the room, and Shangzi patted on it as he walked.

When he arrived at the lobby, seeing the smiling female general, Naruse asked if he could take a photo, and she welcomed it.

Shangzi held up his mobile phone and walked around the hall.

Naruse found that coffee and food were served in the hall, so he simply ordered two cups of coffee, sat by the window, and watched Shangzi take a snap of the flower arrangement in the corner of the hall.

Judging from the small blackboard placed at the entrance of the hotel lobby, apart from him and Shangzi, the only people staying at the Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter Pavilion today are a couple from Tokyo, and he didn’t see the latter at all. laid back.

After taking pictures for a while, Shangzi was finally satisfied, handed him the phone, and chatted with the female general.

Naruse posted the video and a few photos she took to the group.

"Are these flower arrangements made by Ms. Yuriko herself?"

Yuriko is also the name of the female general.

"Yes."

"it's beautiful……"

"Thank you, Miss Blossom."

Click!

Naruse also took a picture of Shangzi who was standing at the front desk chatting with the female general, and posted it to the group. Naruse took a sip of coffee.

After a while, Shangzi also came and sat down.

"The flower arrangements in the hotel are all made by Ms. Yuriko alone."

"Really, it's amazing."

"She is also taking care of the courtyard outside."

"Are you alone?"

"Almost."

"That means Ms. Yuriko is really busy."

Naruse looked at the stage in front of him, and said in a low voice: "If the business of the hotel I run is so cold, I can't laugh."

"..."

Shangzi opened his mouth and moved closer.

"Yeah... I didn't see any other guests."

"Apart from us today, there is only one couple from Tokyo."

"Is business so bad?" Shangzi began to worry about that kind female general.

"At the end of the day, it's because it's a little far away from Lake Gosho, and you have to climb uphill... The tourists who choose to come to Lake Gosho are middle-aged and elderly people who come to recuperate—except for us—who want to ask for trouble Convenient." Naruse analyzed.

Shangzi nodded, took a sip of coffee, and listened to him continue talking.

"so what should I do now?"

"Sell the hotel and go to Tokyo to find opportunities for development."

"Chun Hai...be serious."

The two sat by the window in the hall drinking coffee, time passed slowly, and before they knew it, the rain outside became lighter.

And the sky has dimmed.

It was evening.

Naruse glanced at the time.

"Dinner is about half an hour away, do you want to go out for a walk... Or go to the hot spring for a while?"
