Ome Quartet of Snow Country

Chapter 475 Shabu Shabu

Drowsily, there was a soft but annoying touch on his face. Naruse raised his hand and grabbed it, but found nothing.

And as soon as I put my hands down, the same feeling appeared again.

He frowned, and the remaining consciousness forced him to raise his arms, but he still missed the opportunity.

Morimi walked over and stood nearby and saw this repetitive process, "Stop playing, call him up quickly."

"Okay." Takigawa Hikaru raised his head and smiled, then pushed Naruse on the floor to wake him up completely.

"It's time to eat."

He quickly opened his eyes, still a little annoyed, but he didn't know where the anger came from, and soon turned into confusion.

Looking at Hikaru Takigawa squatting next to him and the darkening sky, Naruse sat up and wiped a handful on his face.

In the living room, the cooking pot on the low table was steaming under the light. Haixing and Takawa Yue had already sat down next to them. Morimi glanced at him and turned around.

"It's time to eat." Takigawa Hikaru said again and pulled him up.

"Ah."

He went over to sit down, and the aroma of meat and vegetables continued to penetrate his nose, quickly awakening his hunger and driving away all the confusion he felt when he woke up.

"It smells good."

Naruse took a deep breath, picked up a piece of beef that was almost cooked, put it in a bowl, stirred it, and put it in his mouth.

"Hmm...it's delicious too."

"Of course other people's beef is delicious." Morimi sat next to him, "I boiled that."

Naruse said nothing and put another piece of raw beef into the pot.She hummed softly and stared at the piece of meat again.

"The sauce tastes pretty good, too." Takigawa Moon Noodles said with color, "I made this myself, and no one else has tasted it."

"Very good." He nodded and looked at the sauces in several people's bowls. They all seemed to be the same.

"The vegetables are almost blanched and ready to eat. Wrap them in slices of meat and eat them together. They are nutritionally balanced."

While sandwiching the outside, adding more to the inside, there were always slices of meat or fresh vegetables floating in the pot, and this was how the dinner for several people began.

"When Sister Yue usually lives alone, does she also cook shabu-shabu?"

"Yes. After all, it's easy to prepare and it's not troublesome to clean up."

"Is it easy..."

"There are five of us today. We have to prepare a lot, so it's a little troublesome. If I eat alone, the ingredients and other ingredients will be ready quickly."

Takigawa Yue picked up a piece of freshly cooked beef and two pieces of green vegetables, wrapped them in the sauce in the bowl, dipped them in, and put them into his mouth together.

"Hmm... When winter comes, you can also eat amberjack fillets. I'm already looking forward to it."

Morimi smiled and said, "Sister Yue is having a great time alone in Sendai."

"Of course you have to be happy..."

Takigawa Yue seemed to be a little emotional. She just looked at the rising water vapor and was lost in thought for a while. She still didn't say anything and continued to cook the meat slices.

Takigawa Hikaru looked at her sister and only smiled a little.

"Ah, Harumi took my piece of meat away again!"

"Don't talk nonsense, I did this myself."

"What about my meat?"

"Ask the guy next to you."

"starfish?"

"What he ate was just blanched meat, and I saw it!"

"Tsk."

"Spring Sea!"

Chatting while eating, when the topic is no longer limited to the dinner table, there are many things to talk about.

"If Ms. Song was filming in Karuizawa some time ago, the content of the special episode may very well be the incident that happened three years ago that was briefly mentioned in the previous episode."

"probably……"

"What should I do? Didn't Chunhai ask?"

"did not ask."

"Obviously there is such a unique opportunity?!"

"Sister Yue, please calm down..."

Morimi took out a piece of white and tender meat from the cooking pot, "Speaking of which, now that Hikaru and Harumi have returned to Tsumae, Haisei and I can also go to the training center to attend classes."

Takigawa Hikaru didn't speak for a while, looking at the meat slices she put in Naruse's bowl, and then looked at the two of them respectively.

"When are you going to start?"

Naruse picked up the piece of beef and ate it, then moved the bowl to the side.

Morimi saw this and just smiled, "Tomorrow?"

"Not tomorrow, I have to go out."

"Where are you going again?" my sister asked.

"Thirteen Lakes." Takigawa Hikaru said, "Go there to have a look and come back the same day."

"Thirteen Lakes? Why?"

She looked at Naruse and smiled, "Just go and have a look."

"I just came back, and you're running around again." Takawa Yue put a slice of boiled vegetables into her bowl.

"You'll be back soon, it's not far."

"Are you going too?"

Morimi asked Naruse beside her. Although the two looked at each other briefly, she realized that there seemed to be some secret hidden between them.

"Don't go."

Mori was surprised.

"Then wait until the light comes back and start again the day after tomorrow."

Takigawa Hikaru nodded, but Naruse did not comment, picked up a piece of raw beef and put it in the pot to scald.

Haixing raised his chopsticks and glanced at the three of them respectively, then his eyes fell on the piece of meat that had just been cooked.We ate and chatted, and the meal lasted for more than an hour before it was over.

Naruse, who had been lying on the floor during the preparation stage, took the initiative to help wash the dishes at the end, and Morimi was with him.

“How was the shabu-shabu today?”

"not bad."

She looked over and said, "Are there no more comments?"

Naruse rinsed the small bowl used to hold the sauce without looking at her, "What else can there be?"

"It's delicious. I want to eat it more often."

"It tastes good just because you eat less."

“I don’t think shabu-shabu belongs to the category where you’ll get tired of it if you eat too much.”

Naruse shook his head, not knowing what to say.

woohoo-

After turning the faucet to make the water flow larger, Morimi rinsed the cooking pot and put it aside to dry temporarily.

"Guangming Tianzhen wants to go to Thirteen Lakes?"

"Ah."

"You're not going?"

"Didn't you just talk about it when we were eating?"

"It's hard to tell whether this is a way to prevent Haixing and I from going back to the past."

Naruse glanced at her and said, "You think too much."

Morimi smiled, "After all, she is still my love rival."

He said nothing and continued washing dishes.

She leaned closer and said, "You can come over for dinner often."

"Your home is too far away."

"Then I'll go to your house for dinner?"

"...don't come."

"I said hello to Shangzi first."

"Let her wait for you with a knife?"

Mori laughed at the sight, but quickly stopped.

"If this situation really develops, who will you help?"

Naruse frowned and looked at her.

"It's just a joke, you are too serious." Morimi said, "I don't want it to be like this. After all, we will get along with each other for a long time in the future."

"Then don't do anything and just let nature take its course. We will all still be good friends in the future."

"..."

She sneered briefly, looked at him twice, and swallowed the unpleasant words.

"Wash the dishes and pretend I didn't say anything."

"It's washed."

Putting down the last bowl, Naruse turned and left the kitchen.

When he came outside, the three of them were sitting beside Yuan. As soon as he walked over, he smelled the smoke of burning mosquito coils.

"Are there many mosquitoes?"

"It'll be fine if you light the mosquito coil." Hikaru Takigawa moved towards his sister, patted the side twice more, and motioned for him to sit down.

"If you light a bonfire, all the mosquitoes will be fumed away."

Naruse sat down and looked at the dark yard. The image of a bonfire burning there suddenly popped into his mind, "You just want to play with fire."

"hey-hey."

After a while, Morimi also came out.

"Do you want to stay overnight?"

"Let's forget it for today." Takigawa Hikaru said.

Morimi just asked casually. After being declined politely, she didn't bother to ask Naruse and Haixing for their opinions. After all, neither of them would agree, and she didn't need to take the initiative to ask if the other wanted to stay overnight.

"Tomorrow is the day to welcome the pot. Yiye's parents should be here."

"Ah."

Naruse frowned, "Suddenly I remembered that I haven't prepared anything for the reception."

"It seems that you have been really leisurely these days." Morimi looked at him, "Or is it that Naoko returned to his home and you don't know what to do?"

There was a thorn in her words, but he ignored it.

"It doesn't matter, I'll have time to get ready tomorrow afternoon." Hikaru Takigawa said, "If you don't know what to buy, I'll come over and buy it for Harumi."

"Need not."

Naruse shook his head, and then stood up, "It's almost time to go back."

Disappointment immediately appeared on Mori Jian's face, and because of the unpleasantness just now, she quickly hid her emotions.

Although he has seen it.

"Really, be careful on the road. Haixing and him..."

"I'll stay."

"what?"

Glancing at Naruse beside him, and then moving his gaze to Morimi's face, Haixing said, "I want to stay overnight."

She also saw her emotions.

His eyes turned on her face, and Morimi nodded.

"it is good."
