Ome Quartet of Snow Country

Chapter 496 A rare surprise

After playing outside for a whole day, when they returned to Matsu Qianqiu's apartment in the evening, the girls were exhausted and had completely lost the coolness they had when strolling around the commercial street.

"Should we order takeout for dinner?" Haixing always cares more about three meals a day than others.

"Let me prepare it." Takigawa Yue got up from the sofa, "otherwise the ingredients I bought at the supermarket last night will be wasted."

"Sister Yue, aren't you satisfied just by going to the supermarket with Miss Song..."

She turned around and saw that Mori, who had just spoken, was lying on the sofa with his head raised. His glasses fell to the ground and he didn't have the strength to pick them up.

"The ingredients can't be wasted."

Takigawa Yue picked up the glasses, put them on the table, turned around and went to the kitchen.

"Let me help." Haixing felt that he had eaten the most in the past few days and helped the least, so he took the initiative to follow up in the kitchen.

“Can starfish cook?”

"You can still do this."

"Then you wash and cook the rice first, and I'll see what I can do."

"Okay. How many people do you want to cook?"

"Well, I don't know if Miss Matsu and Miss Sato will come back for dinner tonight..."

Listening to the conversation between the two in the kitchen, Morimi lay down for a while, adjusted his posture slightly, and then looked at Hikari Takigawa sitting on the other side of the sofa.

She had the best physical strength among them. After playing outside for a day, she only showed a little bit of fatigue, not as if she was about to die.

After staring at her for a while, Morimi crawled over.

"..."

Looking at his companion lying on his lap, Hikaru Takigawa put down his phone.

"Tired."

"Do you still need to ask?"

Morimi turned over, raised his arm and weakly drew a circle, then put it on her body.

Takigawa Hikaru looked down at her, always feeling that her fragility now was a little different from usual, as if she was a little more...feminine?

"Let me give Kazuyo a squeeze."

"Massage?"

"more or less."

"Okay."

"Then you go lie down over there."

Morimi crawled over and lay down on the sofa.

Hikaru Takigawa moved next to her and started massaging her shoulders.

"Well……"

"How about it?"

She closed her eyes, "It's very comfortable...ah...just use a little more force on that spot..."

Hikari Takigawa didn't do what she wanted and even stopped.

Morimi turned around and glanced. She was holding her cell phone and was replying to a message.

"Spring Sea?"

"Ah."

Takigawa Hikaru responded, and after a while he put down the phone and continued to massage her while saying:
"Didn't Chunhai ask me to help at noon? I didn't have time to ask in detail at that time, but now I'm free."

Morimi closed his eyes again, "It must be about the flea market."

"Yeah. Chunhai said that the process of registration, reporting, and review will be time-consuming. It needs to be publicized as soon as possible after school starts, and he needs my help."

"After all, Guang is very popular among the three grades."

"It's different from before. I'm not very familiar with the first graders now."

"Really? Is there something troubling that prevents Guang from making friends at ease...ah, it hurts -"

Takigawa Hikaru pressed a few more times, and Morimi couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to run away, but she grabbed his ankle and dragged him back.

She turned around and said, "I don't want to press it anymore."

Takigawa Hikaru didn't stop, but she no longer exerted the same force as before. Morimi tensed her body and was on guard for a while. Seeing that her strength was as normal, he slowly relaxed.

"Why is Kazuye always deliberately provoking me these days?"

"Have it."

"do not have it?"

Morijian lay on the sofa without looking at her, "Just think that I have no place to express my feelings and want to find someone to vent my feelings to."

"What to talk about."

"proud."

"..."

Takigawa Hikaru pursed her lower lip and released her hands, "I'm tired."

Mori smiled, sat up, and picked up his phone to read the messages in the group.

Takigawa Hikaru glanced at the side and said, "Why don't you take Kazuyo's mobile phone to get it repaired?"

"I'll fix it when I get back."

"Why, Tokyo should repair it faster."

"I want him to go with me." Morimi fiddled with the phone, his fingertips brushing the cracks on the screen, "After all, he broke it."

Again.

Takigawa Hikari couldn't help but feel a little irritated, and he didn't want to distinguish whether her words were true or false.

Are you proud...what is Kazuyo so proud of?
The answer was ready to come out, but she didn't want to believe it.

How could Harumi accept such a ridiculous thing...

As she thought this, some clues that she noticed before leaving suddenly appeared in her mind.

"..."

Taking a deep breath, she stood up.

"I'm going to the kitchen to have a look." Morimi said nothing. He watched her walk into the kitchen, and the expression on her face disappeared.

"What on earth am I doing..."

She crossed her legs, leaned back, and looked at the chandelier in the living room.

The chandelier is very beautiful, especially when the lights are turned on, but it's not dark yet, so it's not time to turn on the lights yet.

She didn't wear glasses either, so she couldn't see clearly.

Morimi looked away again, looking into some dark corners.

What she blurted out just now may be a true reflection of her heart.

She is proud.

He was so proud that he couldn't help but want to show off.

——She really got him, and even became his first real woman.

Even though she thought it was not allowed or impossible, she still did it at some cost.

But she couldn't show off.

No matter what she does, it is never a glorious thing, or on the contrary...even if the person she wants to show off to knows her plan when she makes up her mind.

There is nothing to hide in the future, and now she and he are the only ones who know about it.

This is the secret they must keep for now.

Not only because he hasn't found a way to make Shangzi and more people accept this matter, but also because she suddenly had a strong possessive desire because she took the first step.

——Everything she has now was obtained by abandoning her face, shame and even reason. Why should she share it with someone who only obstructs her and someone who has not contributed anything?

"..."

And he doesn't know these things yet.

Morimi closed his eyes, leaned against the sofa, and fell down again.

She suddenly regretted coming to Tokyo.

["...I also want to go to the place where you have lived for several years after leaving here, and see it with my own eyes. Especially your home over there..."]

The building was empty and he was in the countryside.

The room he lived in in Tokyo was just a relatively comfortable room.

After staying for three days, sleeping for two nights, and staring at the ceiling for hundreds of days and nights, she couldn't see any flowers.

She began to miss something more practical.

For example, he no longer resisted the hug, such as his gentle deep kiss, such as...he wanted to get all her aggressive sight.

They broke through a lot but attempted too few.

Why come to Tokyo...

Hikari Takigawa was so angry with her that she was the only one left in the living room. Morimi buried his face in the sofa and curled up.

"Chunhai..."

His vision became dim and his consciousness gradually sank.

Fall, fall.

She seemed to have fallen into the depths of the dark Iwaki River in winter, or she seemed to have never emerged from the river that night.

The moon was gone, and so was he.

I can't see anything, I can't grasp anything, I'm drifting with the flow, and I can't help myself.

Shaking and spinning, she saw fragments of light and shadow.

There seems to be an ethereal roar ringing in my ears, like the sound of water flowing under the water, or the whistling of the wind while riding on the back of a motorcycle.

And the next moment, there was nothing, she was just floating in the void.

She struggled in the darkness, and the dark void knew no bounds.

She wanted to call for help, but she couldn't make a sound.

She wanted to catch something.

She grabbed a hand.

"..."

It was the hand that caught her.

Morimi opened her eyes and saw Hikari Takigawa squatting next to the sofa and smiling at her.

"I just said Kazuye fell asleep... Wow, my head is covered with sweat."

As soon as she stood up, she grabbed her hand again and refused to let her leave.

"..."

Takigawa Hikaru squatted down again, "Have you had a nightmare?"

"Um……"

Morimi responded, turned over, and wiped a handful on his forehead.

It's all sweat.

Outside the balcony, the sky has completely darkened, and the gorgeous chandelier has been turned on, and the light is bright.

The panic at the beginning of waking up from the dream quickly subsided, and consciousness took over her body again. She let go of her hand, and then sat up.

"What did Kazuyo dream about?"

"Nightmare, the kind where you dream about nothing."

"Ah..." Hikari Takigawa protracted and nodded again, seeming to understand what she said.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead again, Morimi stared at his hands, sweat beads flowing on his fingertips.

She pursed her lower lip.

"Thank you... Light."

Takigawa Hikaru smiled, stood up, and stretched out his hand.

"It's time to eat."
