Ome Quartet of Snow Country

Chapter 352 Give Time
Drop drop drop-

When the alarm clock rang for the second time, Shang Zi got up from the bed.

She woke up early, but she didn't have the slightest motivation to get up.

Last night, she also slept in his room.

Alone.

Holding the quilt tightly around her body, smelling his scent, and after a while, Shangzi rolled over and got out of bed.

The short two-day holiday is over, and I am going to school today.

She went downstairs to change into her uniform, washed up, and made some breakfast casually. She was alone at home, and she didn't even want to prepare lunch for lunch.

It's just that habits are hard to change, she was in a daze, and when she recovered, the bento was almost ready.

It's still for two people.

And he won't be at school until at least the afternoon.

"..."

Putting her share into the bento box, she paused for a while and sent Haixing a message.

When she got a reply, she packed the rest into her boyfriend's bento box before sitting down to eat breakfast.

After breakfast, he went out alone, and when he came to the bus platform, Morimi had already come over first.

"Good morning."

"Good morning, One Leaf."

Ever since he returned to Aomori, Morimi couldn't remember how long he hadn't seen Naoko who went to school alone.

The last time seemed to be when he hooked up with Guang and Haixing and skipped school to go to Kyoto...

"Is Naruse Kazuko coming back today?"

Shangzi nodded, "I said that I will definitely come back today."

"yes."

Mori Jian didn't ask any more questions, just lowered his head and continued to recite the vocabulary book in his hand silently.

After a while, Starfish also came, much earlier than usual.

"Good morning, Shangzi, Yiye..."

Shangzi took out a bento from the bag and gave it to her.

"Forget that Chunhai isn't eating at school today, I made a little more... This is my bento box, Haixing doesn't mind?"

Hai Xing immediately shook her head, "Of course not."

After accepting the bento and putting it in her schoolbag, she did not forget to thank Shangzi.

"Thank you, Shangzi...you don't need to prepare lunch in the morning, which saves you a lot of time."

The latter just smiled.

Senjian on the side looked at the two of them, and his gaze stayed on Haixing's face for a while, but he still didn't say anything.

A moment later, the bus came.

When they arrived at the school, the three of them separated at the stairs on the fourth floor and walked to one side.

"Good morning, One Leaf."

Ogasawara, who had already arrived in the classroom, greeted her and looked at the door of the classroom.

"Why is Ichiyo alone today, where is Naruse?"

"Eloped with another woman."

"Eh……"

Sen Jian glanced at the time, "At this moment, he is probably still asleep in the hotel."

"Hey...it's already this time, isn't he and classmate Yuhua not coming to school today?"

Before she finished speaking, Ogasawara stopped, because she noticed a strange smile suddenly appeared on her friend's face.

"……What's wrong?"

Morimi shook his head, said nothing, and went to his seat.

Turning her head to look at the empty seat behind, she took out her phone and sent a message.

buzz-

In the hotel room, Naruse moved and slowly woke up.

"..."

Looking at the light outside the window, at Takikawa Hikaru who was sleeping soundly on his arm, and the snacks scattered all over the floor, Naruse turned his head, his neck felt sore.

"It hurts..."

On the TV, the picture freezes at the last scene at the end of the movie.

Said that he fell asleep after watching only one "Raiders of the Lost Ark", and continued watching after finishing one;

They said they wanted to finish the tetralogy, but they both fell asleep before finishing the second part.

Sitting on the floor on the bed and sleeping all night, Naruse felt not only a pain in his neck, but also discomfort in his waist.

Picking up the phone, he glanced at the message he just received.

Shangzi: Has Haruhi left?
Naruse: Ready to go.

Shangzi: Lunch is late...

Naruse: It's okay, I'll eat on the way.

Shangzi: [I miss you so much]
Naruse: Wait for me to come to school.

After chatting for a few words, Shangzi started class.

Naruse exited her chat interface and found that Morimi had also sent a message more than an hour ago.

Yiye: When did you come back? Someone made a rumor that you eloped with Hikari.

"..."

He turned his head and glanced at the "elopement" partner leaning on his shoulder, but fell asleep without any movement.

Naruse: Is it the kind of person who can't pass the exam at the top of the grade?

Naruse: It's really dark to use this method if you fail the exam.

Ichiba: [smiles]
Yiye: Go on.

Naruse: What classes do you have in the morning?

Yiye: [Indifference]
After fooling around, Naruse put down the phone and woke up Takikawa Hikari.

"Well!"

She opened her eyes all of a sudden, looked at him, then closed her eyes and leaned closer.

"..."

Naruse had no choice but to shake her awake again, and touched her forehead casually.

Fortunately, after sleeping on the floor all night, her body temperature was still normal.

"It's time to go back."

"don't want……"

"Then I'll go back by myself."

"..."

She opened her eyes again, finally regaining consciousness.

"Wow, why did the snacks spill all over the floor..."

"That's up to you."

"Are you going back... what time is it?"

"It's almost time to check out."

After waking up, the two went to wash up one after another, and when Hikaru Takikawa went in to put on his underwear, Naruse tidied up the messy floor a little bit.

"There are still unfinished snacks, don't forget." She suddenly leaned out, wearing only a bra on her upper body.

"Understood, you change your clothes quickly."

The two cleaned up and finally went to the front desk to check out the room before ten o'clock.

Walking out of the hotel, looking at the sky with deep clouds but still seeing the sun, Hikaru Takikawa stretched his waist.

"A little hungry..."

Naruse pushed his motorcycle out, "Let's go find a place nearby to eat something, and then ride back in one breath."

"Okay."

"Are you all right?" he said suddenly.

"Ok?"

Hikaru Takikawa was startled, and soon realized that he was talking about his physical condition.

She raised her arm, showing off her muscles, "No problem, you can run with a motorcycle on your back."

Naruse shook his head and got on the motorcycle.

"Let's go."

Leaving the courtyard of the hotel, Hikari Takikawa was about to ride on the county road when he stopped on the side of the road again.

"Anything else left?"

He looked at her and nodded, "Your tears."

"..."

Hikaru Takikawa opened his mouth, and then he also reacted.

"Almost forgot, I said it last night... let's go, go there and take a last look."

The front of the car turned, and the two rode towards the beach, stopping on the jetty of the Tsunami Tower.

Hikaru Takikawa got off the car, and looked at the place where the sea and the sky meet amidst the uninterrupted sound of the waves.

"Terrible."

"Is it scary during the day too?" Naruse stood behind and looked over.

"Scary, I want to cry."

"..."

She turned her head and smiled, "Just kidding."

Naruse took out his mobile phone and took a picture of the sea, as a souvenir.

"Don't shoot me?"

"Then you stand still."

"Shouldn't you be more casual, and then Chunhai will find a chance to capture it?"

"I can't use this place, staring at the phone, maybe stepping into the sea with one foot."

"haha, okay."

Hikaru Takikawa turned around, put his hands behind his back, and looked at him with his short hair blowing in the sea breeze.

"I said, Chunhai..."

"Ah."

"Can time really solve the problem?"

He looked at her, then at the phone screen, "Yes."

"There's no definite answer."

"can."

She smiled briefly, "It's so perfunctory."

Click!

She still frowns when she smiles, and she is also a little perfunctory.

Staring at her in the photo for a few moments, Naruse thought about it again, and said, "Do you still remember the reason why Hikari ran away from home for the first time?"

"Eh……"

She thought about it for a while, and really remembered.

"It seems that I accidentally broke Yue's glasses and was scolded by my mother."

"As for running away from home?"

"It's the first time I was scolded by my mother to that extent, and my heart was broken!"

Then it must not have been "accidentally" broken...

Naruse thought to himself, and said, "That was your thought at the time, now when you look back at being scolded, what do you think?"

Takikawa Hikaru was startled.

"It's just... okay? It's just being scolded."

Naruse looked at her: "If I say, this is a problem solved by time, can you understand?"

"..."

She opened her mouth and was silent for a while.

"Things that make you feel terrible now may not be worth mentioning in a few years." Naruse said.

"Looking back a few years from now, can I really say 'ah, I just didn't know what to do'?"

"Maybe you'll be so busy doing what you love that you won't have time to think about it."

"..."

Her eyes were staring straight, she didn't know what she was thinking, and suddenly squatted down.

"Suddenly there is a feeling of relaxation...why I couldn't figure it out before myself."

"It's not just you who don't understand, many people are like this."

Naruse pursed his lower lip, but didn't mention whether he was included in the "many people" in his mouth.

"When you are trapped by problems, the more you struggle, the more you can only see the problems that entangle you, and you can't see that there is actually a vast sky outside."

"And at the end of the day, it's not really a solution to the problem... No, I mean, move on."

"..."

She didn't speak for a while, and sat down on the breakwater, slowly covering her face again.

"Ah, what does it feel like... I really want to cry."

After watching her for a while, Naruse turned his head to look at the vast sea.

"Then don't cry for too long, I'm still hungry."

puff.

Hikaru Takikawa raised his head and wiped the corner of his eyes.

"バカ." (ba ka)

"Aren't you hungry?"

"hungry."

"Let's go then."
