Ome Quartet of Snow Country

Chapter 488 Lies are like breathing

Having stayed at Morimi's house several times, Naruse never thought that one day he would wake up in her bed, especially since she was also lying next to him, naked.

His eyes slowly swept over her body, and most of the traces from him had disappeared, or became extremely inconspicuous.

What still stands out are the few minor cuts on his legs that were scratched when he went into the river, and they have all turned into scabs.

There were also two bite marks on the back of her shoulder where he pressed against her when his anger was at its peak.

"..."

Looking back on last night, he could still recall many details, such as her unreasonable slap, and another attempt that became slow and clumsy after they climbed into bed... But it all still seemed like a dream.

Naruse came closer and stroked the two red teeth marks on her back.

"Does it still hurt?"

"...I don't feel it anymore."

She opened her eyes and turned around, "How did you know I was awake?"

"Guess."

Naruse sat up, "It's getting late after all."

"It's a little late." Morimi also climbed up and wrapped his bare arms around him, "Have you figured out how to explain it to your mother and Naoko?"

Naruse pursed his lips and started to have a headache.

Instead, she laughed, rubbing her body against his arm, and her outstretched fingertips started from his lower lip and slid all the way down.

"You can continue to pretend that you only like her in front of Shangzi and your mother, and you can say bad things about me as much as you want. But when you get along with me in private, stop showing off your irritating face. …Don’t forget your resolution last night.”

Help him remember the last time he had a joyful union last night.

"I know, I remember."

Naruse took a deep breath and held her hand, which was getting more and more unrestrained, "I have to go back as soon as possible."

"Ah."

Seeing that Mori didn't embarrass him, he got up and got out of bed, "I'll get you some clothes."

She walked to the closet and took a set of clothes to change into.

"I thought about it." She raised her skirt around her waist and said suddenly, "Just tell me that you sent me to the training center in the morning."

Naruse was startled, then nodded quickly, "Yeah."

After getting dressed, she went downstairs and brought up his dried bathrobe and underwear for him to change into.

"Do you want to eat something before going back?"

"Forget it, I'm not hungry either."

"Have your thoughts returned to Shangzi?"

"..."

After going downstairs and washing up briefly, Naruse came back to the edge. He looked around and found that after cleaning up, there were basically no traces left.

Except there are two missing sliding doors.

"Are you looking for my virgin blood? There seems to be a little bit on the floor outside."

"...Can't you wipe it off?"

"I don't know. It was too dark last night. I just wiped it casually without paying attention."

She looked at him and said, "If you care, I'll wipe it again later."

"The point is not whether I care or not..."

"Even if others find out, they probably won't think of going there."

Naruse pursed his lower lip and said nothing more, then looked around again, "I'm going back."

Morimi held him back and just looked at him.

He quickly understood.

"Well……"

After a deep kiss, when they separated again, her eyes were a little blurred.

"Oops...I don't want you to go."

"Stop making trouble." He squeezed her hand, turned around and got on the motorcycle, "I'm going back."

Morimi nodded, "Be careful on the road."

Saying he was leaving, he sat on the motorcycle and stared at her for a while.

She was just startled, and soon understood what he was thinking.

"No doubt, even though I feel like I'm having a dream, it's all true." She looked at him, "Just like my heart."

"Yeah." Naruse smiled and finally turned around and left.

Watching him ride out of the yard, Mori Jian stood beside Yuan for a while before returning to the house.

After turning around, she sat down again doing nothing.

Everything that needed to be cleaned was cleaned, and for the two sliding doors, she planned to try to fool her parents today - betting they wouldn't notice - and then find someone to come and reinstall them tomorrow.

"What to do now..."

Originally, at this time today, she should be attending class with Haixing at the training center, although it didn't matter whether she went or not.

And when she thought of Starfish, she frowned again.

Her relationship with him has achieved a breakthrough in a way she never imagined. In this case, does she still need Haixing...

Morimi pondered.

On the other side, Naruse, who was riding his motorcycle back, arrived at the Maki Hotel not long after.

When he saw the Super Cub parked at the door, he stopped and raised his head again. Hikari Takigawa was looking at him from the window upstairs.

"..."

With an inexplicable jump in his heart, Naruse forced himself to calm down and said hello, "Light."

She stared at him and turned away from the window.

Soon, she came downstairs. "Harunami just came from Kazuye's house." There was no doubt that she used a statement tone.

"Yeah. I stayed at her house last night."

Takigawa Hikaru looked at the yukata on his body and said, "It was only around nine o'clock when Harumi sent her back. Do you need to stay overnight?"

Naruse lowered his head and looked at the motorcycle, telling lies as casually and naturally as breathing.

"Accidentally, the sliding door of her house was damaged. It took a long time to fiddle with the two sliding doors, so I just left them."

"Eh... what do you mean?"

"It's literally."

Takigawa Hikaru was stunned for a moment, then looked down at the wheel, "This car?"

"Do I have any other cars?"

"Why did you hit the door..."

"She said something strange, which scared me so much that I accidentally turned the gas pedal."

She raised her gaze suddenly, "What are you talking about?"

Naruse was a little surprised by her sudden concern, "It's just that weird thing she would say from time to time. I forgot the details."

"yes……"

Takigawa Hikaru looked at him again, "Did Harumi sleep until now?"

"Ah."

"You didn't read the news."

"what news?"

Naruse took out his cell phone, only to realize that it had run out of battery in the middle of the night.

Seeing that his cell phone was out of battery, Hikaru Takigawa said directly: "Aren't you going to the training center today? I haven't been able to contact you, so Haixing and I didn't go there."

He looked up and saw Haixing lying by the window upstairs, watching them.

"Do you want to go there?" she asked.

Naruse thought for a moment, "Go. Go now."

"Huh?...Okay."

Takigawa Hikari was also a little surprised, but didn't say much.

"What about Yiye?"

"I'm going to pick her up now, you guys wait a moment."

Naruse turned around again and went to meet Mori.

Takigawa Hikaru vaguely felt something was wrong, but he disappeared in an instant, and she couldn't ask again.

Soon, the starfish also came down.

"Why did Haixing change clothes again?"

"...I just want to change."

After a while, Naruse brought Mori over, and the four of them headed to the training center together.

After sending the two of them there, they had already missed the morning class. If they wanted to attend, they would need to arrange another time. Morimi said directly that it was not necessary.

There were classes in the afternoon, so Naruse and Hikaru Takigawa went back first. When they reached the intersection, he asked her to take him home.

Although it was unexpected, she did it anyway.

After returning home, Naruse parked the car and opened the garage, and Matsu Qianqiu also opened the door and came out.

"Why did Harumi come back just now?"

"I sent Haisei and Kazuha to the training center. They stayed there for a while before coming back." Naruse said, and waved to Takigawa Hikari who was parked outside, "Hikaru, go back first."

"..."

Takigawa Hikaru didn't know why, nodded, turned and left.

Looking at her back, Song Qianqiu had no doubts.

"You're just running around in your yukata, why don't you go home first?"

"Too lazy to bother."

When he parked the car and came in, she hesitated and asked, "Why did you suddenly want to stay at Kazuye's house last night?"

"She asked me to stay."

Naruse walked towards the stairs and was about to go upstairs to change clothes. "I was crying and fussing for no reason, so I had to stay."

"..."

Song Qianqiu frowned.

"Nothing happened, did it?"

He stopped at the top of the stairs, his back to his mother.

["Our current relationship..."

"Hide it for now. Not just Naoko, but also your mother...and Haixing."]

"She wanted to jump into the river, but I held her back."

There was a heavy sigh from behind, and Naruse closed his eyes and took a breath silently.

Once a lie is told, more lies are needed to sustain it.

He didn't want to deceive anyone close to him, but...

He couldn't hurt her anymore.

Naruse opened his eyes and stepped upstairs.

"I'm going to change clothes."

"Go ahead...hey."
