Ome Quartet of Snow Country

Chapter 541 Going on a Hike

After clarifying everything, Takigawa Hikaru didn't stay in the repair department for too long. He said he would go home directly and left first.

Naruse didn't stop him and stayed alone in the clubroom until evening, then returned home with Naoko.

Everything went as usual, the night passed, and the next day came as expected, the weather was still sunny.

In the morning, when Naruse took Naoko out, he met her again at the intersection of Takikawa's house.

"Good morning." He slowed to a stop and said hello.

She actually saw him earlier and couldn't avoid him. She didn't look at him at this time, only looking at Shangzi.

"Good morning, Naoko."

"Good morning." Naoko smiled at her, "It's been a long time since I went to school with Hikari."

"……yes."

Takigawa Hikaru slightly turned the accelerator, came out of the path, and looked at the direction the two came from.

It was already past the agreed time, and she didn't know if the other two people had gone to school.

"Do you want to wait for them?" Naruse asked.

"Aren't you out yet?"

"I don't know. If you want to wait, just ask. Otherwise, just go to school."

Takigawa Hikari pursed her lower lip, took out her mobile phone, and prepared to send a message to Haixing who lived nearby.

Before the news was sent out, Naruse said: "They are coming."

She raised her eyes and saw two original vehicles riding side by side at the corner of the county road.

Putting away the mobile phone, Morimi and Haixing also rode here in a blink of an eye.

"Good morning." Morimi stopped and looked at the three of them. "It's so rare. Did you make an appointment today?"

"No, it's just a coincidence." Naruse said, looking at Haixing who suddenly looked bitter.

"Then let's go." Morimi said.

Naruse turned the accelerator, and the three of them followed suit, riding towards school.

There were no red lights along the way, and there was no chance for anyone to stop and communicate.

When we arrived at the entrance of Jingao, on Tuesday morning, for the first time, people from the student union stood guard. A few people had to park their cars outside the school gate and push their carts in honestly.

"Good morning."

People from the student union stood on both sides, greeting the students walking inside. Some of them they knew well would even chat a few more words.

"Good morning, Naruse-san, Noka-san. Did you buy a new motorcycle?" Student Council President Yoshioka Fumiko also came to stand guard in person.

Naruse nodded, "Senpai still remembers the bike I ride."

"After all, that car is very interesting."

And when she turned her head, she saw the conspicuous racing car she just mentioned, being pushed by Takigawa Hikaru.

She raised her eyebrows and smiled at the latter.

"Good morning, Takigawa-san."

"Good morning."

Amidst the continuous greetings, Morimi pushed the motorcycle into the school until it stopped in the carport. Morimi shook his arms, looking like he had suffered a great deal.

"It's not that hard to push."

"This is unexpected hard work, and even taking one more step is considered strenuous."

Naruse ignored her, walked out of the carport, and looked towards the school gate again.

"Why is the student union on duty today?"

"Because there is an outing in the second grade, I said it was to add a sense of ceremony." Hikaru Takigawa suddenly spoke, talking about some gossip he heard from somewhere.

Naruse looked at her and said, "Is that so?"

"I also heard what others said."

He was not interested in knowing the truth. What he really cared about was her current state.

After one night, she looked the same as before.

The conversation yesterday afternoon seemed to have less impact on her than his little actions during the fireworks display on the eve of school - the latter at least made her sleepless almost all night.

"I'm going hiking. Did you sleep well last night?"

Takigawa Hikaru lowered his eyes and walked towards the teaching building, "It's okay."

"what about you."

"That's about right. He's not a primary school student anymore."

When I came to the teaching building, I changed my shoes, went upstairs, and went to my respective classes. I saw along the way that most of the second-grade students were wearing casual clothes.

As soon as Naruse walked into the classroom, Kobayashi Masaru asked: "Why is Naruse still wearing uniform today?"

He glanced around the classroom and saw almost no one else still wearing uniforms.

"forgotten."

"Ah, Morimi too."

In fact, except for Haixing, all of them came here in uniform today.

"When we met in the morning, Haixing said that Hikaru would definitely be wearing casual clothes." Morimi said after sitting down, "but it turned out she wasn't wearing a uniform."

Naruse suddenly realized, "No wonder her face didn't look right this morning."

"You didn't push it down yesterday, did you?" she suddenly asked.

"...Of course not, why do you ask so suddenly?"

Mori Jian turned around and looked at him: "Because she is physically in good condition, but mentally she is obviously not in good condition."

"Do you think so too?"

"What happened yesterday?"

"Confession." "..."

Morimi turned around completely, Naruse looked around and briefly recounted what happened yesterday afternoon in a low voice.

She was silent for a while and then said, "If you don't say something, the light will probably break."

Naruse let out a breath, "It doesn't make it any better."

"At least it gives her peace of mind."

"what."

Morijian did not answer directly, but raised his hand and pinched his face.

"I know why she was able to sleep peacefully last night: the questions that really matter to her have been answered."

Naruse hid back, still looking at her, waiting for her to tell the answer.

"you like her."

"...I think that's been evident before."

"fool."

She lay down and stretched out her hand to touch his heart again, "As long as it's not said out loud, it's just a feeling. No matter how strong the feeling is, it's not as real as saying 'I like you'."

She suddenly felt annoyed, stretched out her finger, and poked his chest hard.

"It hurts..." Naruse grabbed her finger.

Morimi snorted, took out his hand, and turned it away again.

But after a while, she turned around again.

"Say it again."

"what?"

"What happened yesterday afternoon."

"..."

Before setting off for a hike, she kept holding him and asked him carefully about yesterday's confession.

Roll call, go downstairs and roll call again, and then get on the tour bus to Lake Towada. Naruse and Morimi naturally sit together.

"It used to take almost two hours, so you can survive."

"Go to sleep, it'll be there soon."

Morimi's seat was by the window. She looked at the hanging curtain. She raised her hand and pulled it, and found that the length of the curtain was a little longer than she expected, and it was no problem to completely cover her.

She looked at the seat backs in front and behind again. Even for a tall person like her, she couldn't see much without getting up.

"Let's wait until we're on the road before pulling up," Naruse said.

She turned to look at him, "Don't fall asleep later."

"what……"

He was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized what he was doing, feeling helpless, "Everyone is in the car, don't go too far."

"I haven't even said what I'm going to do, but your head is indeed filled with obscene thoughts, you pervert."

Naruse was too lazy to pay attention to her, leaned back, and immediately prepared to sleep.

"No sleep allowed..." She pinched his thigh.

Soon, the teachers also boarded the bus and took roll call for the last time before departure.

"Narase."

"here."

While calling the roll, he walked along the aisle to the back. Yanagisawa looked left and right, and his eyes suddenly stopped on the two of them.

"Both Naruse and Morimi are still wearing uniforms today."

"I forgot that I can wear casual clothes," Naruse said.

"It's better to wear a uniform to make it easier to recognize."

Morimi raised his eyes, "When an accident happened?"

"Don't be crowed..."

After the roll call, the teacher returned to his seat at the front and sat down.

After a few more minutes, the bus started slowly and drove out of Jingao.

Naruse looked out the window at the scenery that was originally familiar but seemed a bit strange due to the height change, and his shoulders suddenly sank.

He lowered his head, Morimi was leaning on his arm, and he had already taken off his glasses and was holding them in his hand.

"You can hang your glasses here." Naruse took the glasses from her hand and hung them on the pocket behind the front seat backrest.

"I'll just squint for a while." She rubbed his shoulder, "Don't fall asleep either."

Naruse ignored her, shook her hand, closed his eyes, and leaned back.

She hit his shoulder with her head, and there was no more movement after that.

Not long after the bus left the school, the bus was still lively and there was constant chatter.

Apart from reminding a few boys who were too loud at the beginning, Yanagisawa didn't bother to take care of them anymore.

After more than 20 minutes, there was no obvious conversation in the carriage.

Listening to the whispers getting lower and lower, Naruse opened his eyes and looked ahead. The bus seemed to have left the city limits.

He closed his eyes again.

When he opened it again, the car was completely quiet.

He looked beside him. His girlfriend put on her glasses again, raised her fingers and put them in front of her lips.

"Shh...time to do bad things."
