Ome Quartet of Snow Country

Chapter 390
In the rainy season, there are always a few days without rain.

After a short period of clear weather, as if to make up for the lack of rain in the two days of the weekend, it rained heavily on Monday morning.

From the time Naruse woke up, the rain outside was pouring down with alarming momentum, until he went out, the rain continued unabated.

"Let's get down, get down, and you won't have to go to school if you get older."

Hearing his muttering, Shang Zi smiled, "Let's go."

The rain was so heavy that the two of them could only hold an umbrella each when they went out.

When he came to the bus platform, Hikari Takikawa, who often stepped out of the door, had already come, and was squatting on the side of the road with an umbrella, looking at the raging drain.

"Has the light been cleaned again?"

She raised her umbrella, "Harukai, Shangzi, good morning."

"Good morning."

"It was like this when I came here, and it wasn't blocked in the first place."

Although the drainage outlet was unblocked, the rain was too heavy, and it had been raining for an unknown period of time. The road was still covered with ocean, with no wind and huge waves.

"Why did Guang come so early today?" Shangzi asked.

"Woke up by the rain."

Hikaru Takikawa raised his head and smiled, still squatting, "Then he just got up."

"Shouldn't it be better to sleep on a dark rainy day?" Naruse said.

"Who says no." She shook her head, "But I have to go to school."

After a while, Sen Jian also came over.

Seeing Takikawa Hikari squatting, she immediately took out her phone to check the time.

"It's strange."

"Really... I sometimes get up early."

"What are you doing squatting?"

"Playing with water."

Morimi looked at Naruse, "Aren't you going to play?"

"..."

He ignored her.

She didn't take it seriously, "Good morning, Shangzi."

"Good morning."

"It's raining so hard."

"Yes." Shangzi looked down at the rainwater flowing on the road, "When I get in the car later, my shoes will definitely be wet."

Morimi also lowered his gaze, "I just hope the bus can stop closer."

"I'll go to the convenience store to see if there are any shoe covers," Naruse said.

"No need to go."

Morimi stopped him, "I asked last time if there were any convenience stores here."

"Ok."

He also stopped, and took out his phone again, "I don't know if Haixing has gone out, but I can ask her to bring a few more plastic bags."

"If you haven't left by this time, you won't be able to catch the bus," Shangzi said.

Naruse sent a message, but she didn't read it or reply.

"I'd better go to the convenience store and buy some plastic bags."

And before he reached the convenience store, Haixing came over.

To be precise, he was chased by the bus and ran all the way over.

"Can't you go out earlier..."

The bus had already arrived, and there was no time to buy plastic bags. Naruse looked at the starfish running this way, feeling helpless and anxious for her.

woohoo-

And the bus quickly overtook her, sailing towards this side against the wind and waves.

Starfish also became more anxious, and ran with umbrellas in both hands, splashing water under his feet.

"The bus will be waiting for you—"

Naruse yelled at her, and also walked towards the platform.

As soon as he turned around, the people on the other side of the platform looked at him and exclaimed.

He was startled for a moment, then turned around, and starfish was already lying on the ground.

Naruse hurried over and passed the bus.

He picked up the whimpering starfish on the ground, her uniform was almost completely soaked, and the umbrella was thrown aside.

"Starfish!" Takigawa Hikaru also ran over.

"Woooo..."

After falling into such a mess, she was still looking at the bus in front of her.

Shangzi stood at the front of the car and turned to look this way, but did not get up.She and Morimi stopped the bus and were waiting for them.

"Don't look, you can't go to school with your appearance."

Naruse waved at Naoko, signaling them to go to school first.

"..."

She froze for a moment, then waved her hand, closed her umbrella and got into the car.

The bus quickly restarted and left the platform.

"The bus has left, what should we do?" Haixing wiped his face and looked at Naruse and Takigawa Hikari.

Naruse held an umbrella to cover her and himself at the same time, "I stayed here because of Haixing. Of course, you are responsible for it."

She opened her mouth with a blank face, so he could only speak more clearly:
"You go home and change your clothes first, and then let Mr. Seiichiro drive us to school."

"Oh……"

Hikaru Takigawa also picked up her umbrella, and the two of them supported her and walked to her home.

"You didn't break your leg, did you?"

"I don't know...it hurts a little bit."

Naruse lowered his head and took a look. There were a lot of stains on her knees, and it was impossible to see if there was any broken skin.

"Go back and wash it."

buzz-

Kazuye: How are you going to get here?

Naruse: Let Mr. Seiichiro drive you to school.

Yiye: Got it.

When the three of them returned to Haixing's house, Seiichiro Maki was taken aback for a moment, then saw his daughter's miserable condition, and quickly understood what happened.

"Starfish... Hey, let's wash it first."

Takigawa Hikaru went upstairs to find a change of uniforms for her, while Naruse stayed down below, chatting with Seiichiro and sending a message to Naoko.

If he had to wait for the next bus, he would definitely be late, but time was not that tight right now, unless Starfish had to stay in the bathroom for an hour.

After sending the clothes into the bathroom, Hikari Takikawa went back outside and stood at the door, watching the unabated heavy rain outside.

"It's not good to go out."

Naruse put away his phone, "Maybe it's an ominous sign."

"Hmm...for example, will you fail the final exam this week?"

"...Don't say that in front of her. If I'm so unlucky, I might cry."

Hikaru Takikawa smiled, "I don't believe it."

The two continued to wait, and Naruse went back inside again, chatted with Seiichiro Maki, and heard from him that the roof had been repaired while the weather was sunny, and his original room was no longer leaking.

"Awaited……"

After a while, Starfish came out after taking a bath and putting on his uniform.

Naruse glanced at her legs, her knees were bruised, and the skin was slightly scratched. She also took care of it briefly, and it was nothing serious.

Seiichiro comforted his daughter a few words, and then drove to send the three children to school.

pat-

Putting away the umbrella and closing the car door, Naruse sat in the co-pilot, Haixing and Hikari Takikawa sat in the back.

"The rain is too heavy..."

Seiichiro muttered, the wipers kept turning, and the rain on the car windows was still flowing.

"Is there still enough time?" he asked Naruse next to him.

"In time."

Naruse nodded, and looked back at Hai Xing again, "Going out early won't be such a big deal."

"It's raining outside, the sky is dark, I thought it was still early..."

Her eyes wandered, and as soon as she touched his sight, she immediately flicked away and looked out the window.

The weather can lie, but the alarm clock can't.

Naruse didn't bother to pierce her, so he turned around again.

The pickup truck was driving in the heavy rain, and the speed was not fast. Seiichiro Maki suddenly thought of something, and suddenly laughed.

Noticing the sight from the side, he explained: "I remembered the time when I drove Chunhai and Haixing to school. Both of them have to sit in the front, and if they both sit in the back, they will fight again if they don't pay attention."

"..."

Naruse looked in the rearview mirror, and Haixing looked out the window, with a bit of nostalgia on his face.

"It was a long time ago."

"Yes."

"I've also been in Mr. Seiichiro's car," Takikawa said, "with Harumi and Starfish."

"Isn't there Sister Yue?" Haixing asked.

"Um...are you here too?"

More than 20 minutes later, Seiichiro Maki stopped the car at the gate of Jin Gao.

After looking behind him, Naruse opened the car door, held an umbrella and got out of the car.

Haixing and Hikaru Takigawa also came down. The three of them said goodbye to Seiichiro and turned around and walked into the school.

This time is not too early.

"Fortunately I'm not late."

"Um……"

After going upstairs, the three of them separated at the stairs.

"See you at noon~" Hikari Takikawa wanted to go even further.

"Uh-huh."

Haixing waved his hand and looked at Naruse again.

He looked at her legs: "does your knee still hurt?"

"It's much better."

"Ah."

She still remembered how anxious he was when he ran over to her immediately after she fell, "Thank you..."

Naruse just waved his hand, turned and walked towards Class A.

"It's time for class, let's go to the classroom."
