Ome Quartet of Snow Country

Chapter 537 Shangzi’s Room

When Naruse came out of the shower, Matsu Chiaki's call had been hung up. Naoko returned the phone to him and conveyed her meaning.

"Auntie asked Chunhai to call after she comes out."

"I see."

She stood up immediately and said, "I'm going to wash the clothes."

She still remembered what Matsu Qianqiu had just said about wanting to talk to her son alone.

Naruse looked at her, Naoko just smiled and went to the bathroom.

He sat down, wiped his hair casually twice, picked up his cell phone and dialed back.

The call was quickly connected.

"Shangzi?"

"She went to do the laundry."

Hearing his voice, Song Qianqiu stopped trying, "It's not on speakerphone."

"Ah."

She got straight to the point: "How are Harumi and Kazuyo doing now?"

"..."

Naruse glanced in the direction of the bathroom subconsciously.

"How about...that's it."

"Then why are you panicking?"

"..."

He opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment. He couldn't even tell where he was panicking just now.

In just two sentences, his mother almost figured out everything about him.

"How else can..."

Naruse took a deep breath to calm down, "You're not the same person you were before you returned to Tokyo."

Song Qianqiu let out a heavy sigh, without asking whether it was true or not, and then said:

"It doesn't matter if you lie to your mother, but you have to understand that no matter what you do, it will leave traces."

Naruse was silent for a while, "Yeah."

"You just say 'huh'?"

"Then what else do I have to say?"

"What your mother means is that she has discovered everything. You'd better confess to her now to make your poor mother feel better."

"Nothing to confess."

Naruse grabbed the towel again and wiped it randomly on his hair twice.

He was even more certain that she didn't know anything yet, or in other words, she just noticed some details, but she didn't know the whole picture yet.

From just now to now, it's been testing.

"On the morning when I returned to Tokyo from Aomori, my mother smelled Kazuyo's scent on Harumi." Matsu Chiaki revealed something else that she really knew.

"..."

Naruse's heart was beating fast. He thought about it carefully and found that it was indeed true.

"Before we separated, I gave her a little hug."

"Just like that?"

"Ah."

He was still so vague, and Matsu Qianqiu had nothing to do. After all, she was far away in Tokyo, and she couldn't judge the truth from her son's expression or other subtle reactions.

She knew nothing and had no basis. Everything was just her worst guess.

Maybe what the son said is the truth.

"I have nothing else to say. I just want to remind Chunhai one last time: What matters is not what you are thinking, but what you do. People do only need to be responsible for what they have actually done, but sooner or later they have to be responsible .”

Naruse pursed his lips tightly, "I know."

"So be it."

"Rest early, good night."

"By the way, when Naoko asks about it later, Harumi will say that I asked about some things about starfish."

"……Um."

beep--

The phone hangs up.

Naruse held the phone, leaned on the sofa, and continued to wipe his hair mechanically.

After a while, Shangzi came over from the bathroom.

"Have you called?" She sat down.

"Yes." Naruse threw down the towel and cell phone, turned around, and buried his head in her neck, "I asked about Haixing and the others."

"Hmm... it's itchy." Shangzi shrank his neck slightly, "What about the motorcycle?"

Naruse closed his eyes, "Absolutely."

"Auntie is really worried."

"When you are far away, you always think a little more and think more exaggeratedly... Yuan Fu, who can only run up to thirty yards, may be like a super car without brakes or seat belts from her point of view. ”

Shangzi smiled, hugged his head with one hand, and gently stroked his back with the other hand.

"I was so worried when I wasn't around Harumi."

"..."

Naruse pursed his lower lip and remained silent for a long time.

Summer nights are always lively, and in a house with only two children at home, a silent tranquility envelopes each other.At a certain moment, both of them wanted to stay in this tranquility forever.

It's only this moment.

"Let's go to Shangzi's room to sleep tonight."

"Eh?"

"As I said before," Naruse said and sat up, "I haven't slept in Naoko's room yet."

"All right……"

"Aren't you reluctant, Naoko?" He looked at her and asked.

"I just feel it's a bit troublesome." She quickly hid the embarrassment on her face, "Just sleep over there tonight. I'll go over and clean up first."

"Do you still need to clean up? Then forget it."

"Just tidying it up, it will be fine soon."

Shangzi got up and returned to his home first.

She came here to clean every now and then, and there was nothing to clean up here. Perhaps the only thing that needed to be cleaned up was her own mood.

She was really reluctant.

This is Naoka's home, not hers and his.

But she also knew that he wanted to spend the night here just for fun.

After going back to her room and briefly tidying up, she quickly returned to Naruse's house.

"Do you want to go now?"

"Just think of it as adapting in advance."

"What are you getting used to... Then let's go."

Arriving at Koka's house, Naruse didn't stop downstairs and went directly to Naoko's room.

The air conditioner has been turned on, and the room is slowly getting cooler.The two sat for a while, and soon had nothing to do, so they simply turned off the lights and lay down on the bed.

"What a novelty."

"How can it be so novel..."

"So this is what it feels like to lie on Naoko's bed."

"What do you feel?"

She looked over and he turned to look at her.

"Well……"

The two looked at each other in the darkness, kissed, and made out for a while, then lay down again, their bodies uncovered.

"Shangzi's parents won't come back suddenly at this time."

"……It will not."

"It's not a big problem if we really come back. They should have already seen our relationship."

Shangzi was silent for a while and said, "If my parents are coming back, they will definitely say hello to me in advance."

She doesn't pick up on it.

Naruse didn't say much on this topic. It would do no good to involve his parents in each other's relationship too early.

Especially in this situation...

Hearing his slight sigh, Shangzi held his breath again and listened carefully, but when he spoke again, he was already talking about another topic.

"I couldn't fall asleep after lying on the bed so early."

"Well... do you want to continue doing it?"

"forget it."

She caught her breath.

Realizing the slip of the tongue, Naruse immediately added: "I'm afraid I'll leave Naoko's bed everywhere..."

She punched him in the arm.

"It doesn't happen every time..."

"Really?" Naruse turned over and kissed his girlfriend's lips, one hand already skillfully exploring.

After several twists and turns, the bed finally became a lot messier.

The lights in the room that had gone out early were turned off and on. The two tidied up and went to the bathroom downstairs to rinse each other clean. When they returned to the room upstairs, it was not that early.

Lying down in the darkness again, Naruse suddenly felt emotional.

"This was probably the main entertainment for people in the past at night."

Shangzi lay in his arms, "I won't be able to bear it if I do it every day..."

Naruse lowered his head, "Are you tired?"

"A little."

"Go to bed then."

The two adjusted their sleeping positions, Naoko still clinging to him.

Naruse stopped talking and gently stroked his girlfriend's back, and soon felt her breathing gradually slow down.

She also snuggled closer.

Sooner or later, people have to take responsibility for what they have done. Of course, he understands this and will not shy away from his responsibilities.

"When we are old enough, let's get married." He lowered his head and kissed Shangzi's forehead, whispering.

She was already in a half-asleep state, her hearing was confused, and her responses were intermittent.

"Well...getting married...Chunhai is my only support for staying here..."

His eyes suddenly felt sour, he closed his eyes and hugged his girlfriend tightly.
