Ome Quartet of Snow Country

Chapter 385
Leaving from school, Hai Xing sat on Takikawa Hikaru's motorcycle, and Naruse took Naoko.

drop--

Naruse blew his whistle shortly, then rode to the front to lead the way, and Hikari Takikawa followed.

When he reached the intersection, he went there one step ahead. Seeing the countdown green light, she still slowed down and stopped.

"Hey...should we make it in time?"

Starfish moved forward, and it took a few seconds after they stopped before the signal light changed color.

"It doesn't matter if you wait a little longer." Takikawa Hikaru said, "Slower is safer."

"That's what I said..."

Hai Xing looked at the motorcycle riding farther and farther across the intersection, "Chun Hai didn't seem to notice."

"It's okay, I know which store Harumi is talking about." Takikawa Hikaru said.

"Ok."

With her feet on the ground, she pushed up the visor of her helmet, breathing in the warm evening air, and her eyes fell on the big golden cloud in the sky.

"Did Haixing know that Chunhai was going to the flea market?"

"Huh? Uh... When he was talking to Shangzi, I was by the side."

"That's it."

Hikaru Takikawa nodded, turned his head again, and smiled at her.

"Starfish's dress today is very beautiful, just like a little princess."

She had been waiting for this sentence for a day, even though it didn't come out of his mouth in the end, she still couldn't restrain the smile on the corner of her mouth.

"Thank you~"

"This hat also fits well, did Hai Xing choose it himself?"

"Uh-huh."

"After reading so many fashion magazines, Haixing has indeed become more tasteful."

"It's alright~"

When the red light turned green, Hikaru Takikawa turned around again, twisted the accelerator and retracted, and continued to move forward.

Naruse didn't wait in front, and he didn't know if he didn't notice that she was lost, or if he noticed but didn't care.

And the roasted meat shop was just two streets away. When Hikari Takikawa arrived, he and Shangzi were standing at the door with a paper bag in their hands.

She went over and stopped, "What's that?"

"Plates from a flea market."

"Shall we use this for barbecue at night?"

"What do you think, just take it out for you to see."

Walking into the shop, the owner of the yakiniku shop clearly remembered the two high school students who came over half an hour ago, and nodded to Naruse.

After finding a place to sit down, Shangzi opened the paper bag and looked at the dishes her boyfriend bought.

"Bohemian?"

"Almost, I heard from the old aunt that I bought it when I was traveling in Europe."

"It's not easy to bring so many dishes back to Japan from Europe..."

The patterns of the several plates were different. Shangzi and Hikaru Takikawa looked at each of them, satisfied their curiosity, and prepared to put them away.

"Let me do it."

Shangzi took the plates from her, put them together, and skillfully packed them.

"Shangko knows everything." Takikawa Hikaru said.

She just smiled.

"Order."

Although this meal was a treat for others, the four of them didn't order too much, they ordered as much as they could eat.

"When I go back and pass by the second-hand shop later, I'll go and thank Mr. Chaoyue."

"He's busy and probably doesn't have time to talk to you—he dragged several cars back today."

"Eh……"

"Thank you next time."

"Ok."

Takikawa Hikaru and Naruse have been to the second-hand shop several times, and they still have a deep memory of the small size of the shop.

"I bought so many things, can I put them in the store?"

"It's all stuffed in the warehouse, and Haixing and I helped move it for the last trip."

Hai Xing nodded, "There are also all kinds of weird medieval items inside."

The four chatted and waited, and the fresh beef and other dishes were delivered quickly.

"Let me bake and show you my skills."

"Eat the roasted ones yourself."

"How could it be burnt?"

They ate from evening until it was dark. When they left, the sky was dark and the street lights of the whole street had been turned on.

When passing by the second-hand store, the door had already been pulled down, and Naruse guessed that Chao Yueming was busy counting today's harvest in the warehouse.

"Let's go back."

"Ah."

It was still he who carried Shangzi and rode in front, and Takikawa Hikaru followed with Haixing.

Back in Qingliu, both of them stopped in front of the convenience store.

"What does Chunhai want to buy?"

"Buy something to drink."

"I also……"

Hikaru Takikawa's voice stopped abruptly.

As soon as Naruse raised his head, he immediately saw the figure inside.

"..."

Standing in front of the cashier, she looked outside, her eyes swept over the faces of the four people one by one.

"Good evening, Yiye."

Hesitating for just a moment, Takikawa Hikari quickly recovered and greeted her.

"……good evening."

After staring at the starfish with lowered head behind the two of them, Morimi took a deep breath, "Did you come back only now because of your busy schedule?"

"No, we had a meal outside." Naruse said.

"yes."

Last night, she also had a meal with them on the evening of the regular dinner every Friday.

At that time, no one mentioned today's itinerary.

"What do you want to buy, I'll wait for you." Mori Jian lifted his bag, walked aside and looked at them.

Starfish originally just followed them in, but now with his head down, he got into the shelf first.

Naruse took Naoko and went to choose a drink.

Hikaru Takikawa looked at Morimi, wanting to say something, but the latter shook his head.

"Don't you just want to buy a drink?"

"Um……"

drop--

After paying the bill, Naruse picked up the bag and dragged Naoko outside to wait.

"Next time, I'll buy Itoen's barley tea."

"Is this not good to drink?"

"I feel that the taste is still a bit different."

"I feel like..."

After the other three came out, Naruse got on the motorcycle and said, "Go back."

"OK Bye Bye."

Hikaru Takikawa waved his hands at the two, then looked at Haixing and Morimi, "Ichiyo wants to go home, I'll see you off."

"No, I'll go back with Haixing."

"..."

Starfish pursed her lower lip.

Hikaru Takikawa looked at the two of them, and then lingered on Senjian's face for a few seconds, "Haixing is very tired today."

Sen Jian glanced at her, "Well, I'll take her home."

On the other side, both Naruse and Shangzi had already got on their motorcycles.

"See you tomorrow." Shangzi said to Takikawa Hikaru.

"Well, good night, Shangzi, Haruhi."

"Good night."

Naruse took one last look at the three of them, turned the accelerator and left.

Slowing down at the intersection, the motorcycle turned a corner, and Shangzi also turned his head, looking at the three figures still standing in front of the convenience store.

one leaf...

starfish……

And light.

"What's the matter, why are you sighing?"

"..."

In just a few steps, neither of them wore a helmet, and he rode slowly, so they could hear each other's voices clearly.

"so tired."

"I'll give Shangzi a massage when I go back."

She closed her eyes, hugged his waist, and rubbed her face on his back, "Is it a serious massage?"

"Well, it can be serious."

"Okay~"

The taillights of the motorcycle disappeared into the night, and the starfish also looked away.

"Does Guang still go to school to help tomorrow?" Mori Jian asked.

"Huh? Hmm."

"Thanks for your hard work."

Although she took the initiative to ask, she obviously didn't intend to talk to her more, "Go back and rest early, good night."

"……Good night."

"Let's go too, Starfish."

Starfish nodded, waved to Hikari Takikawa, and followed Morimi.

Hikaru Takikawa stood where he was, watched the two gradually walk away, and suddenly called out:
"Don't bully Starfish——"

Mori looked back and her mouth seemed to move, but she didn't hear anything.

Only the starfish next to him heard it.

"...バカ." (ba ka)

After walking for a while, the sound of the motorcycle engine sounded not far behind, and soon disappeared.

"Going to the flea market today, did you have fun?" Mori Jian asked, without mentioning how he knew, let alone the fact that she didn't reply to his messages.

"……fine."

She turned her head to look at her, with a smile on her face, "Is it just okay?"

Starfish was silent again.

"No... very happy."

"Are Haixing afraid of me?" Morimi asked again.

"..."

Every question she asked made her feel embarrassed.

"No."

"Yes, that's fine."

She held her hand, "Starfish did nothing wrong in the first place."

Hands are a bit cold, Haixing thought.
