Ome Quartet of Snow Country

Chapter 370 Tears Erosion
Next to the parking lot of the Meishan Lake Dam, there is an observation deck.

Standing on the observation deck at a high place, you can see the whole dam in your eyes.The distance is far away, and the beautiful and jade-like Meishan Lake is more like embedded in the mountains, which makes people unable to take their eyes off.

"You can still see Yanmu Mountain here." Hai Xing said suddenly.

Hikaru Takikawa looked over, the majestic Mount Iwaki, only a little bit of white snow top was exposed at this time.If the trees on the mountain in front of us were more lush, they would probably be covered.

"It's kind of like ice cream."

"Aha..."

The two looked down again, and the white water flowed out of the flood outlet one after another, roaring.

The white waves enter the blue waves, and the water surface is turbulent, but the tolerance of the deep pool under the dam seems to be endless, and all the turbulence will be integrated into it, and it will return to calm.

After the hustle and bustle was over, the Iwaki River set off peacefully on its more than 100-kilometer journey to the sea.

Hikaru Takikawa lay on the guardrail, looking down, and the memory of the last time he went down the river came back to his mind.

After being dazed for a while, she shook her head to get rid of the indescribable emotions, and in a blink of an eye, she saw that the starfish next to her was also in a daze.

Looking at Naruse and Morimi who were still standing on the dam, he was in a daze.

Only she and Haixing came over, and both of them expressed no interest in climbing.

As for whether they are really not interested, or if they have something to talk about in private, only they will know.

The cloud is a little low, and it seems to be hanging on the top of the mountain.The west slanting sun looks hazy through the clouds, and the distant mountains are shrouded in fog.

"Let's go look elsewhere." Takikawa Hikari said to Starfish.

"Ah good."

From a distance, he saw the two people leaning against the guardrail of the observatory turned around and disappeared, and Naruse looked at the way they came down, but he didn't see the two of them for a long time.

Is there another way there...

He has never been there, and he doesn't know.

"Where are they?"

Morimi, who had been silent all this time, also noticed the disappearance of the two of them.

"Going out of sight."

Morimi stared there for a while.

The breeze came across the lake, blowing on her face constantly, causing her long hair to flutter.

"Go over there and have a look."

After walking a few steps forward, she raised her finger and pointed to the other side of the dam, "Walk over there, then walk back, you can almost go back."

She understood that what he was thinking about now was to go back as soon as possible, and the reluctance and resistance shown when she heard the first half of the sentence became less firm after she said the second half of the sentence.

"It only takes a few minutes to go back and forth." She struck while the iron was hot.

Naruse didn't speak, but he didn't object either.

Mori Jian didn't say much, turned around and walked to the other side of the dam.

After walking a few steps, she breathed a sigh of relief when she heard footsteps coming up behind her.

She doesn't really have much confidence.

Naruse's footsteps were faster than hers, and he quickly followed to the side and walked to the front.

"Don't go so fast."

He slowed down a little, walked to the inside, and looked at Meishan Lake, which could no longer get closer.

Sen Jian followed and walked beside him.

"The dam seems to have been built only a few years ago."

"It was completed in Heisei 28." Naruse said, remembering the data he saw when he checked the information before, "You are younger than us."

"yes."

Sen saw the newly washed asphalt road under his feet, "It seems that no one comes here usually."

"It's a bit out of the way for a country place."

"Although it only takes more than 20 minutes to ride here."

Naruse shook his head and didn't say much.

The two walked forward. When the huge dam across the canyon was regarded as a road, it was just a straight road less than 200 meters long, and it soon came to an end.

The other side of the dam is also connected to the road, which goes around the mountain and finally connects to the county road when they came here. They can also take this side when they go back later.

Walking to the end of the dam, Morimi stopped and looked at it for a while, turned around, leaned his back against the guardrail, and raised his hand to brush his hair.

"Take a photo for me, as a souvenir of my visit."

Taking out his phone, Naruse took a few steps back and pressed the shutter.

Click!

"The filming was done so quickly? You're not trying to play me off."

"This angle is just right, and there is nothing to adjust."

Mori didn't believe it, "Show me."

Naruse handed out the phone, she took it and looked at it, a complicated smile soon appeared on her face.

"It's really well taken... The photos taken by others for girlfriends are probably of this level."

"Anything you take is the same. There are also photos I took of my girlfriend in the album. You can compare them."

"Is it convenient to see, are they all wearing clothes?"

"...I don't have that hobby."

She didn't want to look at it either, so she fiddled with it, and quickly returned the phone to him.

Naruse casually retreated to the desktop, only to realize that she had set the photo just now as the wallpaper.

"..."

"What's wrong."

"What do you think."

She poked her head, "I found out so quickly."

He ignored her, and quickly found Zhang Shangzi's photo and replaced it.

"The original one wasn't Shangzi's photo." Morimi said, remembering that his previous wallpaper was one of the several original wallpapers that came with the phone, which was extremely plain.

"Well, I was just reminded by you."

"Does this kind of thing need to be reminded?"

"After all, Shangzi and I are next to each other every day when we open our eyes. There is no need to show our affection in this way."

"...Then what are you doing now?"

"It's a decent way to remind people that I already have a girlfriend."

He took a breath, put away his phone, and turned to look at the lake.

"If you still want to get closer, I will say something that is not decent, or something that sounds bad... I am not as gentle as Shangzi."

"..."

She pursed her lips tightly, and Naruse had already turned and walked back.

"Let's go back."

On the other side of the dam, Takikawa Hikaru and Starfish also reappeared, and the former was waving at them.

He also waved his hand in response.

After walking a few steps, he didn't hear the sound of her following footsteps, so he looked back again.

With just one glance, he couldn't move forward.

Holding on to the guardrail, she turned her head to look at the lake, with tears streaming down her calm face.

"..."

Naruse took a deep breath, turned around, but didn't know what to say.

She didn't follow Takikawa Hikaru and Haixing to climb the observatory, but stayed on the dam, and he had a premonition that she stayed to say something.

For example, she was interrupted by Haixing before, about last night, her mood changed.

Just being alone for a long time, she was either staring at the mountain in a daze, or staring at the water in a daze, he just thought she was retreating rationally.

When anyone imagined that he was about to go back, it suddenly turned into this situation...

Calm down.

Naruse reminded himself not to be corrupted by her tears.

It was nothing more than the fact that she took a step forward, and he pushed her away.

He had practiced this several times with his brash ex-stepsister on the other side of the dam.

And she is smarter and more rational than her, so it shouldn't make it too ugly...

Without warning, the embarrassment of her flushed cheeks at the izakaya last night suddenly appeared in his mind.

"..."

Naruse felt a stab in his heart, and then hardened again.

It is a mistake to continue.

He had prepared those harsh words.

Lying on the guardrail, staring at the deep lake below, Starfish felt a little frightened for no reason, but couldn't help but keep staring at the rippling and bottomless blue.

After staring at it for a while, the waves remained the same, there were no floating foreign objects, and no gaping mouths.

She raised her head and found that the two people on the other side of the dam seemed to be still standing in their original positions, not moving.

They have been waiting here for a long time.

"What's wrong?" Starfish asked.

Takikawa Hikari also looked over there, squinting her eyes, but they were more than 100 meters away from each other, no matter how narrow her eyes were, she couldn't see the expressions on their faces clearly.

"do not know……"

"Then shall we go?"

She didn't speak, and shook her head after a while.

Yiye was probably talking to Chunhai.

She was approaching Chunhai in her own way. Of course, she might just be trying to save face for last night's embarrassment.

Although they slept in the same bed last night and talked late into the night, she still couldn't see through her plan.

Yiye is smarter than her, but also seems to be more unscrupulous, she can't imagine which way she will choose in the end to change the status quo.

However, no matter which way it is, it is more positive than her current evasion that she is afraid of choosing...

So annoying.

The road ahead is still uncertain, why would she make such a choice?

She hopes that everyone will be friends forever, not just Yiye, but now even she herself is one of the unstable factors that destroy this relationship.

Hikaru Takikawa couldn't help but start fantasizing about the absurd possibility that everyone was a boy, or that he turned into a girl.

It was not easy for Haruhi to come back from Tokyo. She didn't want her companion, who had never left, to be torn apart because of him—even if it was because of Haruhi's return that everyone who had grown up really got back together as before.

Although at the beginning, except for her, the purpose of everyone getting together seems to be to get Chunhai.

Now that nearly a year has passed, she feels that everyone should have understood that it is impossible for Chun Hai to leave Shang Zi.

So this time, Yiye will only hit a wall.

She just hoped she didn't hit too hard.

But Yiye is also a stubborn person.

People who are too smart are like this, always believing in their choices.

Just don't make trouble until it can't be ended...

Hikaru Takikawa closed his eyes, sighed in his heart, and was ready to clean up the mess.

"Wait a little longer," she said.

"Oh."

Hai Xing pushed down his glasses, looked at the two figures standing opposite each other, and stayed on the person facing this side for a few more seconds.

Can't see clearly.

It was too far away, and even with glasses on, she couldn't see the expression on her face clearly.

After not coming here for so long, is Yiye going to confess to him?

The thought that suddenly flashed through her mind made her nervous all of a sudden.

It's not unfounded to think so. When they met her and him in front of the bookstore, the atmosphere between the two was very delicate.

Although she didn't understand.

It's just that now she has already seen her mind clearly.

There is no doubt that Yiye also likes Chunhai.

She forgot when, but she suddenly noticed this.

In other words, Yiye didn't seem to intend to hide it from her, even when she said she wanted to support her.

Is it because she feels that she has no hope at all?
But it's not clear that Yiye will have much hope for himself.

Because it is impossible for him to give up Shangzi.

If you confess, you will fail.

Just like her before.

Get closer once, and you will be pushed away once.

She has been honest for so long, and she never really thought about giving up, but she really doesn't know how to keep getting closer.

Perhaps today's Yiye will allow her to enrich the experience of being rejected by him from the perspective of a bystander...

Hai Xing pursed her lower lip, she couldn't feel gloating in her heart at all, she only hoped that everything just now was just her own wild imagination.

She doesn't want her to fail, let alone succeed, she just wants her to do nothing.

On the other side of the dam, the two people being watched were just standing there.

After shedding tears for a while without saying a word, Senjian raised his hand to wipe it, then turned around, facing the lake, and grasped the guardrail with both hands.

Naruse immediately took a few steps back.

"Why, do you think I'm going to jump off?" She said, her voice hoarse.

"It would be best if it wasn't."

She looked over, "If so."

"Then I'll regret the loss of a childhood sweetheart for a while."

"Ha ha……"

She smiled without ups and downs, and turned her head to look at the green hills on the other side.

When she calmed down a bit, she said, "I won't seek death. Even in the situation last night, I never thought about dying."

Naruse didn't speak.

"It's just that I really have nowhere to go..."

Mori Jian murmured, his voice gradually lowered, "It's time to make a decision."

As soon as he raised his gaze, she also turned around. Behind the newly bought glasses were a pair of red eyes.

Are you really at a loss?

Naruse asked in his heart.

All she has to do is get around him, and there are roads everywhere.

"Even if there is no result, at least before everything is over, I want you to hear my heart clearly." She continued.

He tilted his head slightly and glanced at the other side of the dam.

"Does it have to be at this time? You just said that you just came out for a ride."

"I can also go home with you and say it in front of Shangzi. Which do you think is better?"

"..."

Naruse was a little annoyed, but it disappeared in a flash, "Let's talk about it here."

Sen Jian looked at him, but remained silent for a while.

"It's funny...you know what I'm trying to say, and I know you already knew it, but you're still shy now."

Naruse didn't speak, and couldn't meet the eyes behind the lens, he could only cast his eyes on the green hill behind her.

"Look at me." Her voice cracked.

"..."

He looked back, and when they met each other's eyes, she lowered her head slightly again.

When he looked up again, a complex smile that had never been seen on that face bloomed.

Gentle, shy.

Firm and decisive.

Desperate and full of expectations.

"I like Chunhai. I have liked Chunhai since a long time ago. I like you the most."

said it.

No pretense, no allotment, no beating around the bush.

Only straight talk.

She likes him.

Morimi Kazuyo, likes Harumi Naruse.

"Well, thank you."

They already knew each other well, so that's all he could say.

"I want to date you."

"I already have a girlfriend."

"Is this a refusal?"

"It's a refusal."

She looked at him, "I still want to know what you think of me."

Naruse also looked at her, "Best friend."

Sen Jian's eyes didn't move: "Is it perfunctory?"

"No."

Naruse took a deep breath.

He also wants to get each other's footsteps back on track today, in this place.

Or say goodbye without regret or misunderstanding.

"There is probably no second person who can see through my thoughts like you and speak them out without hesitation.

To be honest, I really like your not so nice words.

I like the feeling of interacting with Yiye... I mean, as a friend. "

She suddenly laughed, and tears flowed down her cheeks.

"Because I can read minds."

Naruse also forced a smile, "Yeah."

She took off her glasses, held them in her hands, wiped them under both eyes, and sniffed again.

"Just like that?"

"that is it."

"Is there nothing better to say?"

"I don't always say nice things."

Sen Jian took a step forward, without glasses, looking directly into his eyes.

"Then did you ever like me?"

Naruse's heart skipped a beat, he kept his face as calm as possible, and shook his head.

"No."

"Don't like it, or can't like it?"

"I don't like it, and I can't like it."

She was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled.

"When you are alone, do you also deceive yourself like this?"

"……what are you saying."

She looked at him: "If you don't like it, just 'don't like' is enough."

"..."

Naruse opened his mouth and fell silent.

If you really don't like it, you don't need to emphasize to her that "you can't like it"... Is there a trap buried here?

Then he saw a genuinely relieved smile on her face.

He froze for a moment, then his heart sank suddenly.

The previous words were all dispelling his defense and vigilance.

That last sentence is the real temptation.

If he doesn't like her, he doesn't care.

And his silence and hesitation was the answer he couldn't refute.

"Great……"

The tears that had just stopped came pouring out again.

She squatted down and sat on the ground, covering her face with her hands, her shoulders trembling.

Naruse looked down at her, feeling some numbness in the back of his head and hands.

He opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything, then turned his head to look at the two people waiting on the other side of the dam.

A hundred meters apart, they couldn't give him any response.

The only response came from behind.

"That way, I have no reason to give up."

"..."

Naruse took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

"Don't make me hate you."

"I won't do anything."

"Even... what?"

Wiping away her tears and putting on her glasses, she raised her head and showed the same smile as before.

"I said, I'm not going to do anything now."

"..."

Naruse stared at her, feeling increasingly uneasy.

"As long as I know that Chunhai likes me too, I will feel at ease."

"I do not like you."

"Is it meaningful to say such things now?"

"...What exactly do you want to do?"

Morimi sat on the ground and reached out to him.

"I want to go home."
