Ome Quartet of Snow Country

Chapter 323 Involuntarily
Sitting on the back seat of the motorcycle, Morimi lay on Takikawa's back and lost his mind for a while, and at a certain moment, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

She raised her head and looked left and right.

The surrounding street scene is fairly familiar, but this is not their way home.

"Guang, I went the wrong way."

"Let me just... no, let's go for a ride."

Senjian looked at her, didn't say anything, and lay on her back again.

"Ok."

In the direction of fleeing the city, the motorcycle continued to speed.

Obviously they wanted to go home together, but now they are getting farther and farther away from home.

Looking at the reversed streetscape, Morimi closed his eyes.

"Light."

She didn't respond.

"Light."

"Ok?"

"too fast."

The speed of the car slowed down a little.

After lying down for a while, Mori saw sitting up straight again, looking forward.

The wind kept blowing on her face, coming in through the gap of her glasses, which made her unable to keep her eyes open.

Pushing the glasses and adjusting them a little, she looked around.

After riding for a while, the surroundings are already a little strange.

She lives in the west of the city, and now the main areas of activity are schools and private schools, and she seldom comes here.

"Light."

"Is it still too fast?"

"No, where are we going now?"

Hikaru Takikawa slowed down a little.

"I don't know, just ride forward... Ah, but don't worry, I still know the way. Is Yiye in a hurry to go home?"

"That's not it."

There were no cars to be seen in the front or back of the road, and Morimi opened his arms to embrace the oncoming wild wind.

"Let's talk about it after a while."

"it is good."

Hikaru Takikawa smiled, and raised the speed again.

Without a clear destination, she just rode forward, turned to another lane at a red light, and hardly stopped.

Looking back at the sunset glow in the western sky, it was gorgeous and bright, and Sen Jian knew that he would not be able to go back for a while.

As I said just now, she was indeed not in a hurry to go back.

Taking off her glasses and holding them in her hands, she looked at the blurry world in front of her eyes, enjoying this rare involuntary feeling.

Her long hair fluttered, and there was a faint smell of sweat in the wind.

"Light is practicing with the third-grade seniors today, isn't it?"

"Yes."

"There don't seem to be any classes in the second grade who sign up for women's basketball, and they are all volleyball."

"It's the opposite for the third graders."

She wanted to ask about the basketball practice, or use it as a topic to continue the chat, but suddenly lost interest again, and then fell silent.

Hikaru Takikawa didn't speak, and seemed to be concentrating on riding.

The glow behind them stretched out their shadows on the way forward.

She put on her glasses again.

Although Takikawa Hikari said just now that she had no destination and didn't know where she was going, Morimi gradually became aware of her tendency:

While riding eastward all the way, she was also leaning northward, never turning southward at intersections with red lights.

Unconsciously, she seemed to be approaching something.

After leaving the urban area, large stretches of connected farmland appeared on both sides of the road.

May is the season for planting rice. Looking around, the fields are full of green rice seedlings.

"I want to go to the beach." Takikawa Hikari said suddenly.

Sen Jian was taken aback.

"Eh?"

"Ah, did I say something?"

"Just say I want to go to the beach."

"Haha."

Takikawa Hikaru smiled inexplicably.

"Kidding."

Mori Jian looked at her, "It's still a bit early to go to the beach this season."

"That's right."

Continuing along the wide road, the urban area is getting farther and farther away.

Just when Morimi was about to ask how long she planned to ride, Takikawa Hikari turned a ninety-degree turn at the intersection.

"Get ready to go home."

"it is good."

All the way to the west, she didn't turn around until she reached the bridge across the Iwaki River, and then she turned around and rode along the river to her home.

"Does Yiye know where the Iwaki River will eventually flow?"

She asked suddenly, and she also responded.

"... Thirteen Lakes."

"As expected of a top student."

"Because there are the ruins of the thirteen minions over there... This is common sense that even starfish knows."

"No, Starfish doesn't know."

Hikaru Takikawa smiled, "Until some time ago, Hai Xing and I thought that the Iwaki River would eventually flow into Mutsu Bay."

Sen Jian also smiled helplessly.

"That idiot..."

Going up the river along the river, they stopped for a while at the mouth of the river where the North and South Muchuan converge, and the two continued to drive back along the Beimuchuan.

"When will we walk along the river again, just like when we were young." Takikawa Hikari asked suddenly.

Mori was taken aback, "Are you looking for the source of Beimuchuan?"

"Well, almost."

"Light can now ride his own bike to find the source."

As Morimi said, he looked at the towering Rockwood Mountain in the distance.

"This is the foot of Yanmu Mountain. It doesn't take much time to trace the source. I remember where upstream, and there is a small hydropower station... eh!"

Hikaru Takikawa braked suddenly, she was caught off guard, and hit her back uncontrollably.

"pain……"

"Yeah, why didn't I think of that."

"what?"

Morimi supported her back, pulling a little distance away.

"Ah, sorry."

Takigawa Hikaru turned around and smiled at her, "It didn't hurt."

"No way, it hurts like hell."

"Where it hurts, I'll touch it for you."

She stopped on the side of the road and touched her body a few times with her backhand.

"..."

Mori sighed.

"You guys on motorcycles are always so rude."

"Hey, has Haruhi touched him like this before?"

"...I mean things like no warning, sudden braking!"

"It's dangerous."

"You still know the danger." She knocked off her fumbling hands, "What did Guang just think of?"

"I can ride a motorcycle to find the source of Beimuchuan."

"..."

that is it?

Mori took a deep breath, "Go find it yourself when Hikari is free, I want to go home now."

"Aha, good!"

She seemed a little excited.

Turn the accelerator, the motorcycle restarts, and continues to drive smoothly.

Ten minutes later, Takigawa Hikaru sent her to the door of her bookstore.

As soon as Morimi got off the bus, a familiar bus came from the other side of the county road, and Hikari Takikawa hurried to the side of the road.

Watching the bus pass by the door, Morimi said, "If I come back by bus, I will be home by now."

"Hey, let's go for a drive."

Mori Jian looked at her, "Isn't the light too boring recently?"

"It's so boring that I'm going crazy." Hikaru Takikawa said with a smile.

Morimi pondered for a while.

"Recently, if you really have nothing to do, come and practice badminton with me."

"Huh?" Hikaru Takikawa's eyes lit up, "Okay."

"But let's forget about today, wait until I come to you next time."

"Uh-huh."

The two said goodbye, Morimi walked into the bookstore, Takikawa Hikari got on the motorcycle and rode forward.

Before reaching the next intersection, she saw the three of Naruse walking together.

"It turns out that Haixing is with Chunhai and Shangzi."

Hai Xing nodded, "After volleyball practice, I will go to the handicraft club with Shangzi."

"Did you just come back?" Naruse asked, remembering that she and Morimi had already left.

"Yeah, I took a little ride."

He nodded and didn't say much, Takikawa immediately shared with him the plan he thought of just now under the reminder of Mori.

"When Chunhai picks up the car, let's follow the river and ride to the mouth of Yanmu River together."

"The estuary of the Iwaki River... Thirteen Lakes?"

Naruse froze for a moment, "Why are you talking about this all of a sudden?"

"I also thought of it suddenly on the way back just now."

He has never been there, nor has he paid attention to the distance, so he can only roughly estimate in his mind:

"It must have been hundreds of kilometers to ride along the river."

"It's riding a bicycle anyway." Takikawa Hikaru said.

Shangzi looked at her, and then at his boyfriend.

"Forget it, it's too far away." Naruse quickly refused.

"Let's go there on a motorcycle."

"Even if you ride a motorcycle, it takes two or three hours to get there, and it takes six hours to go back and forth." Naruse shook his head, "I can't bear to ride for such a long time. I don't care about Thirteen Lakes." interest."

"..."

Hikaru Takikawa opened his mouth, as if he didn't expect him to refuse.

Looking at him, she looked at Shangzi and Haixing next to her, and her wandering eyes finally fell on his face.

"Why……"

"I do not want to go."

She lowered her eyes, staring at the ground, the expression disappearing from her face.

Shangzi leaned over, "Guang..."

She looked up again, smiling.

"That's all."

"Don't run around alone," Naruse said.

"Ok."

Hikaru Takikawa twisted the accelerator.

"I'm going back."

"it is good……"

Before she finished speaking, she had already rode away.

"Is Thirteen Lakes far away?" Hai Xing asked suddenly.

"It's more than 100 kilometers at most, it's not too far." Naruse said, "But cycling along the river will hurt your body a bit."

"Hurt the body?"

"After riding for a long time, my crotch still hurts."

"..."

Hai Xing pursed her lower lip. She delivered wine by bicycle, and occasionally she delivered too much, and she would feel this way.

After walking a little further, the three separated at the intersection.

"Guang doesn't seem very happy." Shangzi said.

Naruse nodded, of course he could feel it too.

"It's okay to go to the Thirteen Lakes by bike. I'm worried that if I agree to her this time, she will bring up the matter of cycling around the country during the summer vacation."

Shangzi pursed his lower lip and didn't say much.

Although there is no definite arrangement yet, they will leave each other during the summer vacation.

"fine."

Naruse held her hand, "She just had a whim, and she will be happy again when I treat her to a drink at noon tomorrow."

"uh-huh."

The next day, Takikawa was absent from work.
