Ome Quartet of Snow Country

Chapter 406 The Bad Woman

Hearing footsteps, Hikaru Takikawa turned his head and took a look.

Two bare feet stepped on the floor alternately and walked towards this side.

She raised her eyes and found that she was still holding something in her hand, so she sat up.

"milk."

Morimi sat down and put the milk and two cups on the table, "Would you like something to drink?"

"Have a drink."

She poured two glasses of milk, then picked up one glass and drank most of it in one go.

"Are you alive?" Hikaru Takigawa picked up the milk and took a sip.

"Ah."

Looking at the small cake that had been divided into two portions, Morimi took one portion in front of him, looked at it twice, and hesitated to speak.

"It's a bit too much for one person, and it's a bit less for two people, but it's getting late now, and if you don't want to affect your sleep, this portion is just right." Hikaru Takikawa said, "Dad said I bought two, It’s to fool people.”

Morimi glanced at her and saw that she had thought about it, so he didn't say anything more.

"Eat."

"Ah."

Both of them scooped up a spoonful of the cake and put it into their mouths.

"Hmm... such a delicate taste." Morimi pursed his lips, feeling the cream melting on his tongue.

"There is a high-end dessert shop near where dad works, and I bought this from there." Hikaru Takigawa said.

Morimi glanced at the name on the package and said, "It shouldn't be cheap."

She smiled, "So it's more delicious."

"Ah."

One bite after another, the cake was already finished before I could finish it.

But as far as bedtime snacks go, that's about it for now.

Licking his lower lip, Morimi picked up the milk and looked towards the closed sliding door of the living room.

It was still raining heavily outside.

"It's still raining heavily."

"If Guang stayed overnight just to convince me, then no matter how hard the rain falls, I will drive you back."

"..."

Takigawa Hikari was stunned, and then laughed.

"Really? I'm just afraid that Yiye can't drive me away."

Seeing that his expression did not change, Mori put down the milk and looked at her calmly: "I don't think you will let me do that."

Takigawa Hikaru smiled, put his arms behind his back, slowly exhaled, and then fell back.

"I don't know why I stayed overnight... Actually, at the beginning, I was a little angry. I was thinking, at least for this week, don't talk to Yiye again."

"..."

"It's just that when we came back, everyone got off the car one after another, and it was such a long way to send Yiye home. I suddenly felt that I couldn't leave Yiye alone."

Morimi pursed his lower lip, "I'm not a child anymore..."

"——So it's even worse."

Takigawa Hikaru sat up again and looked at her: "When a child is alone, even if he is scared, he can fall asleep quickly. The night will pass in the blink of an eye, but at Kazuyo's age, these things happen , I probably couldn’t sleep all night.”

Sen was silent for a while.

"So you just came here to sleep with me?"

"is it okay?"

"Just sleeping."

"If you say the wrong thing, will you still drive me out even if you go to bed?"

"You can give it a try."

She leaned down on the table, "It's so scary~"

It was already past ten o'clock when they came back from the city, and the night was getting deeper and deeper. After drinking the milk, the two went to the room upstairs.

Seeing Morimi sitting at the desk, Hikari Takikawa was taken aback for a moment, and asked, "Ichiyo still needs to study?"

"No, just sit for a while, I have to think about something. Just go to bed first and don't worry about me."

"Then I will accompany you."

"If I need your company, I won't come up."

After all, there are no more chairs in front of the desk.

"Ok."

Hikaru Takikawa sat on the edge of the bed, watched her back for a while, and then lay down again.

The night was anything but quiet.

"Nanmuchuan is roaring."

"Maybe in the middle of the night, my house will be washed away."

"It's too exaggerated."

"I often have dreams like this."

She tilted her head and glanced at the girl at the desk again.

"Is it so stressful?"

"Are you stressed? Maybe if you live by the river for a long time, you will have this kind of dream."

"If it hadn't been for the final exam, would Kazuha have made up his mind and made that kind of decision today?" Takigawa Hikaru asked again.

Morimi was silent for a while, "Even if it's not today, it will be a matter of time."

"I actually don't mind waiting a little longer, so that I can make more preparations. Anyway, he already knows my thoughts... But she can't bear it anymore."

The "her" in her mouth could only be Shangzi.

"She probably noticed something, and the targeting of me has become more and more frequent recently."

"Is it possible..." Takigawa Hikaru pursed his lower lip, but still held back his hesitation and continued.

"Is it because Kazuha has something secret in his heart, so he has become more sensitive to Naoko's attitude changes?"

"Ah."

She was not angry, but responded.

"That's true, but her targeting of me is not entirely an illusion."

Morimi continued: "I didn't notice it before, or I didn't pay much attention to it, I just thought she was rejecting everyone who came close to him.

The fact is that it is true, if you get close, you will be rejected by her, but only for me, she seems to have extra 'care'. "

"Because Haixing and I are both idiots, and Kazuyo seems to be the kind of bad woman who is full of bad intentions. She is a real threat."

"..."

Morimi finally turned to look at her, "Are you praising me or scolding me? This is actually your own idea."

"Ha... now everyone except Harumi feels the same way." Hikaru Takigawa said, "Especially after today."

Morimi pursed his lips, "Do you think he doesn't know?"

Takigawa Hikaru raised his eyes and looked at the lamp above his head, "It seems that I don't know."

She looked at her on the bed, "Stop pretending to be stupid, don't always try to escape, you can see these things."

Takigawa Hikaru shook his slender legs but said nothing.

Both of them were silent for a while, then Morimi got up and walked to the window, opening it.

woohoo-

The sound of fierce rain and raging river suddenly became clearer.

The footsteps coming from behind were also hidden, although not intentionally.

"If you strangle me now and throw me into the river, nothing will happen."

"Why did you start giving up on yourself?"

"Because I'm confused too. I...don't know right now."

Takigawa Hikaru didn't say anything more, just hugged her from behind.

Morijian's lips trembled, and he stared out the window, constantly turning around to prevent the sudden sourness in his eyes from gathering together again and turning into an embarrassing look.

After a while, she turned around, hugged her too, and rested his head on her shoulder.

She patted her back.

"Just sleep and you'll be fine."

She closed her eyes, "When I wake up, I will become a spirited bad woman."

Takikawa just smiled.

"Go to bed."

The two went to bed together, Morimi sleeping on the side by the window.

"Now when I think about the last exam in the afternoon, it seems so far away that it happened last month."

"Well." Hikari Takigawa looked at her sideways figure, "A lot of things happened tonight."

"Would you like to make a bet?" she asked suddenly.

"what?"

Morimi turned around, "If I can still hold the second place in grade in this exam, I will continue...if not, I will give up."

"..."

Takigawa Hikaru opened his mouth.

"I don't even know whether Kazuye is confident or not confident now."

"Speak with results."

Morimi looked at the ceiling, "If my grades decline, it means that this matter has involved too much of my energy and it's time to let it go. If not, it means that I still have energy left and can continue."

"Then should I expect Kazuyo's failure?"

She glanced at her and said, "It doesn't matter whether you are looking forward to it or not. Let the results decide."

As she said this, she looked at her with a faint look of expectation.

"..."

Takigawa Hikaru suddenly understood.

Tired, confused.Painful, confused.At a loss.

The so-called bet is just an anchor point for her in this fierce emotional storm. Not to mention whether she will actually abide by it, at least at this moment, this anchor point will not let her be carried too far by the storm. .

Kazuye's ability to adjust his emotions is really amazing...

"Well, it depends on when the results are announced on Monday." Hikaru Takigawa said, "You can't go back on your word."

Mori nodded.

"Then go to bed now."

She was startled for a moment, then nodded quickly.

"OK, good night."

"Good night."

She said good night and closed her eyes.

A few minutes later, when Takikawa Hikaru observed again, Morimi had already fallen asleep.

"I'm really tired..."

She also closed her eyes, fatigue came over her like a tide, and a wave knocked her over.

When I opened my eyes again, the window was bright and it was already the morning of the next day.

The pillow next to him was empty.

Hikari Takigawa stretched.

"Bad woman wake up..."
