Ome Quartet of Snow Country

Chapter 450 The Biggest Mistake
After taking a shower, Morimi returned to the room upstairs and sat down at the desk as usual.

After being in a daze for a while, she picked up an idle book and started flipping through it.

Even if she made some kind of plan, it was impossible for her not to study at all.It's just that during this summer vacation, she gave herself more time to relax.

Her hair was still a little wet. She just wiped it a little, but it felt like it wouldn't drip.She wouldn't go to bed so early anyway, just wait for her hair to dry naturally.

As I flipped through the book, the time slowly reached eight o'clock.

Picking up the phone and taking a look at it, she clicked into his chat window again and was stunned for a while when she saw the [Read] prompt next to the latest message.

I can’t read it back. How many days has it been?

She suddenly remembered that in the first grade, a girl sitting near her stayed in the classroom after school one day and cried to her friends that her boyfriend, whom she had known for more than ten years, suddenly became cold to her after he entered another high school. things.

["I don't usually see people... I still read messages, but no matter what I send, he won't reply... He is no longer interested in me."]

He probably hasn't fallen to this level yet, Morimi thought to himself.

And another voice suddenly came out in her mind and told her: She was not as good as that girl, because that person had at least dated that boy and truly had the title of "girlfriend."

She has nothing, just a third party trying to poach someone.

"..."

Because of his ignoring him and because of her active thinking, she felt sulky alone for a while.

The phone stayed on his chat interface, and it was several minutes before she noticed that a new message had been sent.

Perhaps because of this, she found herself unusually calm when she saw the new news.

Harumi: You're bothering me a lot.

After staring at his message for a while, she looked at the time again.

It's past eight.

After playing for a day, I should have eaten and drank enough by this time, and went back to the hotel room to lie down... maybe even took a mandarin duck bath.

Having run out of patience, are you finally free to solve her problem?

Yiye: Why?
Harumi: What do you think?

Kazuyo: Don’t you like books with this theme?
Harumi: Is it a problem with the book?

Kazuyo: Do ​​you mean to put the book away?
When this message was sent, she felt her face heat up.

However, the recipient of the message did not understand the sentiment and remained cold.

Harumi: If you continue to post, I will have no choice but to block you.

"..."

Seeing this threat, Morimi smiled instead.

If he could really do this, their relationship wouldn't have developed to this point.

She was making a mistake, but he set up the stage for the mistake.

Kazuha: Did Naoko see it?
Haruhi: No.

Yiye: Then what are you afraid of?

Chunhai:......

Another half minute passed before he sent the next message.

Harumi: I think I've made it clear.

Kazuyo: What are you doing?
Harumi: Let me tell you this.

Kazuye: I’m talking about your current state.

Harumi: I’m telling you about this.

Kazuha: Is Naoko here?

Harumi: What do you want to do?
Yiye: You tell me the truth, and I will tell you the truth.

Harumi: Not here.

The message was sent, and it took a while before she responded.

Yiye: What about Shangzi?
Naruse: Next door.

Naruse told her that Chiaki Matsu also came here.

Kazuye: Then you are alone now.

Naruse: Yes.

buzzing-

Before waiting for her next message, the call interface suddenly popped up.

"..."

Naruse closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled it.

He gets on the phone.

"Why did it take so long to answer the phone?" She called suddenly, feeling confident.

Naruse didn't want to talk nonsense to her, so he sat up and asked, "What do you want to do?"

"I don't do anything, I just want to hear your voice..."

She paused.

"really miss you."

Naruse pursed his lower lip.

Feeling a little heavy in his chest, he looked out the window. Darkness had already enveloped him, and he couldn't escape his sight.

"If you don't know what to say, just pretend you didn't hear it."

She spoke again, and she suddenly guessed his current state, and thoughtfully suggested countermeasures.

It’s not that he accepts it, it’s not that he doesn’t accept it either. In the end, he can only remain silent.

"Hey, is anyone still there?"

He made a little noise to show that he was still listening.

"Why did Miss Song come here suddenly?"

"The work has come to an end for the time being, I have time, and we are close, so she came over."

"Eh~" A voice with unknown meaning came from the other side, and then asked: "How long has it been since Shangzi?"

"Not long."

"Then we should be able to chat for a while."

"..." "How is Kamikochi actually seen? Is it more beautiful than in the photos, or does it live up to its name? None of you posted photos in the group today."

"It's more beautiful than in the photos. I can only say that the trip was worthwhile." Naruse replied.

He did take a lot of photos today, but it was raining in the morning, so he couldn't take any photos. In the afternoon, Song Qianqiu was coming over, so he was focused on this matter, so he forgot about it.

"Really? It's highly rated."

"Ah."

"It would be great if I could go over and take a look sometime."

He pursed his lower lip and said, "There will be a chance."

"With you?"

"What do you think."

"I think there's a chance."

"The only way is for everyone to go there together."

"'Everyone'..."

She smiled inexplicably, her voice was so soft that Naruse suspected that it was his imagination.

"Do you know what I'm doing today?"

"Enjoy your summer vacation."

"That's right..."

She finally laughed louder this time, "Anyway, it's the same as the previous two days. I stay in the bookstore during the day, have dinner in the evening, stand in front of your house for a while, and then go home alone."

"……Terrible."

"Shouldn't you be very touched?"

"I just feel terrible."

"When I stood at the door of your house, I kept saying your name."

"It's even scarier."

"I lied to you."

"I know."

"I really miss you."

"..."

Naruse habitually responded to her enthusiasm and straightforwardness with silence.

This time she asked: "What about you, do you miss me?"

Before he spoke, she said firmly: "I must have thought about it, but you won't admit it."

She guessed right again.

"As long as you still think of me."

No, this is not good.

Naruse finally remembered his determination when he decided to reply to her tonight.

"It's almost over."

"Is it going to end so soon? The call has only been made for a few minutes. Shangzi hasn't come back yet, right?"

"I'm talking about the current state. The ambiguous, ambiguous state between you and me. It's time to end."

"..."

Morimi was silent for a moment and sighed as loudly as he could hear.

"If there is a spoiler competition, you must be the well-deserved No. 1."

Naruse lowered his eyes and looked at the quilt under him, "You can say whatever you want, but I am really troubled now."

"Just because of a few photos? There's nothing wrong with it. Even if Shangzi sees it, it's easy to explain - and you didn't reply to me."

"There's nothing wrong with the photo now, but you are the one who has the problem..."

"——Do you like me a little too much?" She interrupted him suddenly.

"..."

Naruse frowned, "What are you talking about?"

"Since you have guessed my plan, if you really don't want to be troubled, then just delete and block me as you just said, wouldn't it?"

"You don't want to be my man, but you still want to keep the possibility of being friends? How can there be such a perfect thing? Don't you understand yet, we can't be friends. If we can't be lovers, we can only break up and become enemies."

The emotions that had been accumulated for a long time could not be stopped once they were vented, and she did not give him a chance to speak at all.

"The person who enjoys this kind of ambiguity the most is actually you. Isn't it?"

When she finally stopped, Naruse was completely silent.

It was like being slapped suddenly, embarrassment, shame, and even a little anger, all kinds of emotions colliding in my chest.

"This is not weakness, I understand, you just can't let me go no matter what."

After a brief silence, she began to add fuel to the fire and continued to roast him.

But when his emotions finally burned out, after the peak of intensity, he calmed down.

These words were also her method to gain the upper hand.

Taking a breath, Naruse said:

"You are right. It was my irresponsibility that caused the current situation. If it continues, it will only lead to bigger mistakes, so this must end."

He was silent for a long time, and she had been waiting on the other end of the phone. When she heard him say this, she immediately sneered.

"End? It's so simple. I've become like this. Can you just say it's over?"

Of course, Naruse also understands that this complicated mess cannot be solved in one sentence, but the prerequisite is that his attitude must be clear.

"So I'm discussing this with you now."

"Didn't I already think of a way for you?" Morimi said.

"...Is that also called a solution?"

"That's the best thing to do in this situation."

Her voice lowered, but each word became clearer, as if she was whispering in his ear at this moment.

"I know what you are afraid of. But even without me, your inner desire for Haixing and the things you did to her will hurt Shangzi sooner or later... Your biggest mistake was to start dating Shangzi."
