Ome Quartet of Snow Country

Chapter 452 Talking about Books
Looking at the name that lit up on the screen, Morimi stayed for a while.

buzzing-

The phone continued to vibrate, and she looked at the time in the upper left corner again. The call between the two was already an hour ago.

At that time, he was still trying to convince her, and his last words were that Shangzi was back.

Several thoughts flashed through my mind, and after waiting for a while, the incoming call hung up on its own.

She could tell with her bare feet that this call was definitely not from him.

"But if you don't answer, it would be a bit unjustifiable..."

pat!

A small piece of the nail she had just cut flew out. She sat on the chair, stared at her toes, and continued to cut.

After the nails on both feet were almost trimmed, she picked up the phone again and dialed back.

The phone was connected quickly.

"One leaf?"

The voice on the other end didn't surprise her at all.

"Shangzi?"

But she still had to pretend to be a little surprised, "Did you make the call just now? I went to take a shower and didn't receive it."

"Well... I accidentally touched it when I turned over."

She didn't believe a word of it.

"By the time I noticed it, half a day had passed, and Kazuye hadn't answered the phone. I thought you had fallen asleep, and I was still worried about disturbing you."

"No, I didn't go to bed that early."

"Ha ha……"

Both of them laughed expressionlessly.

"Is Naruse already asleep?" Morimi asked.

"Yes, Harumi is a little tired today."

"That's it, I won't interrupt."

She was about to hang up, but the other person said: "It's okay. I'm at the window, I won't disturb Chunhai."

"..."

Morimi raised an eyebrow, did she mean to continue chatting with her?
"yes."

She responded and waited for her to speak.

"Is Kazuye going to rest?" Shangzi asked.

"No hurry, I'm wiping my hair."

Morimi casually made up a reason for her to continue talking, then picked up the phone, walked to the bed and lay down, turning on the speakerphone.

"It's not too early. Is Yiye studying at home in the evening?"

"No, I was just reading some casual books. It was quite interesting. I accidentally became fascinated by it."

"Really? I saw that Kazuha also called Harumi before."

After laying the groundwork for so long, I finally spoke.

Morimi turned his head and looked at his phone, almost without thinking: "Yes, we were talking about this book. I felt that I was too tired to send messages and chat, so I called directly."

"I see...what book is it?"

"Shangzi is also interested?"

"I also want to know about Kazuyo and Harumi's interest in reading." said the voice from the mobile phone.

"It is a mystery novel. It tells the story of a person who traces the life traces of his former foreign student friends through memories and some current information. Although the beginning is a bit clichéd 'boy meets girl', the final ending is very sad. Woolen cloth."

"yes……"

Naoko pondered.

The bookstore owner's daughter had probably read more books than she had ever seen before, and it was difficult for her to guarantee that this was not a random selection from the books she had read in the past to fool her.

"What's the name of this book?" she asked.

"Shangzi, do you want to read it too? When you come back, I will lend it to you directly."

"Okay."

She seemed to be trying to fool him, so Naoko asked the title of the book again.

There was a slight silence on the other end of the phone.

"Farewell, Elf."

Naoko glanced at her boyfriend on the quilt, "I remember."

After chatting for a while, she said good night and hung up the phone.

She quietly returned to the quilt and sat down. Just as she put the phone back, Naruse suddenly said: "Phone?"

Naoko trembled.

"...Yeah. I accidentally ran into Harumi's cell phone before and called Kazuyo. She just called back."

"yes."

He turned over, seemed not to care, and went back to sleep.

Shangzi looked at him for a while, then lay down and hugged him from behind.

He just squeezed her hand.

Leaning against his back, Naoko didn't know when he woke up. After a while, he said, "Ichiyo seemed to have called Harumi before?"

He didn't respond.She raised her body slightly and found that he had fallen asleep again.

Shangzi sighed softly, feeling helpless.

Dragging the quilt here and connecting it with his quilt, she hugged him, closed her eyes again, and let her consciousness gradually sink into nothingness.

"..."

Opening his eyes and looking at the phone on his pillow, Naruse suppressed the urge to sigh and slowly closed his eyes again, but he was not sleepy at all.

The next morning, Matsu Qianqiu got up very early as he said the night before.

After she got up, she also shouted to the two children in the room next to her.

Seeing Naruse opening the door, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.

"Didn't you sleep well last night?"

"fine……"

"You don't look like you're okay."

"Just wash your face and it'll be fine."

"Okay." Song Qianqiu said nothing and glanced at Shangzi who was still lying inside. "Get up quickly. The weather is very good today. I will go out after breakfast."

"Ah."

After closing the door again, he returned to sit down beside the quilt and pinched Shangzi's face again.

"The doors are closed, stop pretending."

She opened her eyes and puffed her mouth again.

His hand went down again and spread the yukata on her body, "We all went to bed together, there's nothing shameful about getting up together."

"Harumi won't understand... Harumi didn't sleep last night, okay?"

She also noticed that he didn't look well.

"It's still quite cold in the mountains. Shangzi snatched the quilt away from me when I was sleeping. Then I woke up from the cold and couldn't fall asleep again for a long time."

"Eh……"

“I don’t even remember what time I fell asleep.”

Naruse yawned, "But it's not a big problem. The big deal is that I can go to bed early tonight."

"All right……"

Shangzi looked at the quilt on his body again, and he had no memory of what happened before falling asleep.

But she still remembered clearly what happened earlier.Just looking at her boyfriend's face, she still didn't say anything.

"Get up first, they are waiting."

"Uh-huh."

The two got up and washed up, and then went to have breakfast with Chiaki Matsu and Miss Sato in the next room.

"The young master doesn't look very good."

"...Is it that bad?"

"Very bad." The assistant lady nodded.

Naruse was a little helpless, "I didn't sleep well."

"Harumi, please stay in the room and sleep a little longer in the morning."

Naoko suddenly said, "I'll take Auntie and Miss Sato to visit Myojin. It's still early anyway, and I'll be back before check-out time."

"Then Chunhai will go back to sleep again." Song Qianqiu also said.

Naruse nodded without objecting.

After breakfast, the three of them went out to visit Myojin. He went back to the room alone and lay down on the bedding that had not been picked up.

The hotel check-out time was eleven o'clock, but he could still lie down for more than two hours.Don't worry about oversleeping, it's not far from Myojin, at least it doesn't take two hours to go back and forth.

…The problem is that I can’t sleep.

After lying down for more than ten minutes, Naruse opened his eyes again and turned to look out the window.

The weather was really nice, and he could see a corner of the blue sky outside while lying on the ground.

"what……"

Yawning, he turned over and picked up his phone.

Hikaru Takigawa also got up, a little earlier than usual, and posted some morning photos of the fishing port in the group.

She stayed here last night, and she was not in a hurry to leave at this time. She was riding a motorcycle around Cape Town, stopping from time to time to take some photos and send them to the group.

Light: [image]
Light: This place even has its own elementary school.

Hikari: It’s small though.

Light: Let me take a look around.

Naruse yawned while watching her live broadcast of pictures and texts, and gradually fell asleep.

At a certain moment, the phone slipped from my hand.

And when he woke up again, what he saw when he opened his eyes was the bottom of Shangzi's skirt squatting next to him.

He stretched out his hand and she quickly grabbed it.

"..."

Turning her head to look at the open door, she glared at him and blushed a little.

"It's up."
