Ome Quartet of Snow Country

Chapter 379 The Value of Waiting

Coffee was served quickly.

"Your coffee..."

Naruse looked away from the window, nodded to Hai Xing, "Thank you."

Putting down the coffee, she held the tray with both hands, "Are you alone?"

"Well, almost." He picked up the coffee and added, "I'm waiting for Shangzi."

What are you emphasizing? I'm not here to wait for her anyway...

Although there was some anticipation at the moment of seeing him, Hai Xing soon came to his senses.

There is an empty seat by the window on the first floor of the coffee shop. He still wants to come to the second floor, obviously because he doesn't want to stay in her sight all the time...

Hai Xing thought too much before he knew it.

After taking a sip of coffee, Naruse found that she was still standing beside her, and Naruse looked up at her: "It doesn't seem very busy now."

"Ah? Um..."

Starfish looked out the window, "It didn't rain today."

Although there are more people who are willing to go out on sunny days, Yumino Café is on the only way for half-year students of Jin Gao to get out of school, and it is easier to attract these young customers on rainy days.

"It still rained a little in the morning." Naruse also looked out the window, and because of this, he didn't come by bike today.

"Well... did you go to the museum today, did you have fun?" Hai Xing found another topic and tried his best to delay his time to go down.

"Not bad, the content of the exhibits is quite rich." Naruse said, "Tomorrow afternoon, your classes C and D will pass by."

"Uh-huh."

"Let's take a good look at it. If you put in a little bit, you will find that it is quite interesting."

"Uh-huh."

Starfish held the tray and nodded.

Naruse took a sip of coffee, then glanced at her calmly.

It seems that today is really free, allowing her to linger upstairs for so long...

"--starfish?"

Finally, the foreman's call came from downstairs.

"coming!"

Starfish turned around after taking three steps, but went down anyway.

The second floor of the coffee shop became quiet again, Naruse put down his coffee and continued to look out the window.

He had come upstairs simply because he wanted to be quiet.

Under the reflection of the setting sun, the dense clouds are as bright as flames, and the golden edge is outlined. The sun occasionally rushes out, and the beams are clear.

The afternoon is also gradually burning out in the golden fireworks.

Naoko came out of school when Naruse was halfway through his second cup of coffee.

When she came to the second floor of the coffee shop, she immediately saw her boyfriend sitting by the window.

And the starfish sitting across from him.

"..."

Shangzi looked at the ceiling.

I avoided the two people in the school, but there was another one waiting here.

There are stray cats everywhere...

Before the two people by the window looked over, Shangzi calmed down, hid her eyes, and walked towards them.

"Spring sea, starfish."

Walking to sit next to Naruse, he pushed a small piece of untouched strawberry cake in front of him.

"Thanks for your hard work."

"Thank you~"

Leaning on his shoulder, Shangzi scooped up a small piece of cake and put it into his mouth, narrowing his eyes.

"Hmm~"

"Another cup of coffee?" Naruse looked at her.

"No need." She shook her head, brought his coffee over, and took a sip.

"so bitter……"

“Just goes with the cake.”

"uh-huh."

Shang Zi ate a few more mouthfuls, and then looked at Hai Xing who couldn't sit still on the opposite side, "Is Hai Xing off work already?"

"Um……"

"Are you waiting for me?"

"..."

Turning her eyes twice, she looked sideways out of the window and nodded slowly.

What can she say, she can't say that she is waiting for her boyfriend.

After staring at her face for a few seconds, Shangzi continued to eat the cake.

Naruse specially chose the cake with the smallest portion, which can be eaten in a few bites, which can not only replenish the energy she consumed during club activities, but also not affect her appetite for dinner.

"Is the association going well?"

"Well, the current progress is as planned, there is no problem."

"I remember that there are still three 150th-anniversary-themed lanterns to be assembled. The amount of work is not small. Is there time this week?"

"As for the lantern, I will come to the school to assemble it this weekend, and it will take two days to make it...Didn't I tell Chunhai?"

"..."

Naruse pursed his lower lip, "Is it the weekend?"

Shangzi did not tell him.

She turned to look at him, "Chunhai has other plans?"

"Mr. Chaoyue said that there is a flea market in Hirakawa City on Saturday, and I want to take Shangzi there to see it."

"what……"

"I'll push it away."

"No, Chunhai can go there by himself." She knew that he just wanted to come to school to accompany her.

Naruse looked at her, "Are you okay?"

"No problem, Hikari said he would come to school to help me on weekends."

"Light?"

"Ah."

He nodded and said nothing.

After all, a small piece of cake couldn't be eaten for a long time. After taking a sip of coffee, Shang Zi got up and said, "Go back."

After leaving the coffee shop, Haixing looked towards the school.

"Have Hikari and Yiye gone back?"

"do not know."

Naruse looked at Shangzi, she also shook her head: "Are they in the club room? I didn't go up."

Sending a message to Hikaru Takikawa, she first questioned him that he didn't go back to school, and then said that she would come out immediately.

"Still in the department room. Go to the bus platform and wait."

The three of them came to the bus platform and waited for a while before Morimi and Hikari Takikawa hurried over.

"Why don't you come back?" Hikaru Takikawa bumped Naruse with his arm.

"I didn't say I wanted to go back to the department."

"Where was Chunhai just now?"

"Cafe."

"It's too much."

"Why."

Sen Jian glanced at him from the side, knowing it in his heart.

After waiting for ten minutes, the bus came.

Several people got into the car and sat all the way back to Qingliu.

"If I had known it would rain for a while in the morning, I would have gone to school by bike today."

"Then you'll either get wet or you'll be late."

"It rained very little in the morning."

"That's what you feel when you're holding an umbrella. If you're really riding in the rain, your clothes will be half wet before you get off the Qingliu bridge."

"It's too exaggerated!"

"You can try."

After getting out of the car, Takigawa Mitsu's family was the closest and the first to separate from them.

"See you tomorrow."

"Bye-Bye."

At the intersection, Shangzi and Naruse also left.

"Bye-Bye."

Morimi and Haixing continue to walk forward.Most days, the two of them were the ones who spent the longest time together on the way home from school.

"Is the cafe busy today?" Mori asked suddenly.

"Hey, it's okay...not very busy."

She slowed down, "When did he pass by?"

"Spring Sea?"

"Ah."

Starfish thought for a while and gave an approximate time.

"I can really wait." Sen Jian sneered.

"Eh……"

"It's okay." She shook her head, "Did he say anything?"

"What...it's nothing special."

From when he came to the coffee shop to when she got off work, there was only a few unsalty exchanges between the two of them, what they had to say...

"He said that the museum is quite interesting, so let me look at it more seriously when I go there tomorrow."

Sen Jian opened his mouth, then nodded.

"He's right, he's gone, just feel the traces left by the changes of the years.

It doesn’t mean that going to a museum can bring you some knowledge improvement, um... how should I put it, it’s an atmosphere and a feeling. "

Apart from nodding, Hai Xing didn't know what to say.

Sen Jian looked at her and smiled helplessly, "The snacks in the leisure area are also delicious."

"Ah, then I'm going to try it."

"Remember to bring extra money. Didn't he say anything else?"

"Um... not anymore."

Going along the county road, they walked to Morimi's bookstore, and the two also said goodbye here.

"See you tomorrow."

"Well, see you tomorrow."

After walking a few steps, Starfish turned around again.

The companion who just said goodbye has already entered the bookstore.

The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled down, reflecting the golden color of the bookstore lights that have not been lit.

"..."

Yiye always takes good care of her, which makes her very grateful;

But she also made no secret of her covetousness for him, which made her very embarrassed again.

Didn't Yiye know that she liked him?

He said before that he would support her, but with his current behavior, could it be that he intends to snatch him away from Shangzi first, and then hand him over to her?
"how is this possible……"

She is no longer a primary school student.

Therefore, she chose to conceal it and choose to fight for it by herself.
