Ome Quartet of Snow Country

Chapter 595 Prune
White snow fell one after another from the lead clouds that filled the sky, fell on the white ground, and quickly became part of it.

Covering the playground and the school building, the snow season comes quickly, the sky and the earth turn white overnight, and it lasts for a very long time, four or five months.

Standing in the corridor, Haixing has long passed the age of being excited about snow. Looking at the vast white snow below, he even feels troubled.

"I can't even ride a bike anymore..."

"Maki, Xiaoxue is here for the evening shift meeting, come in quickly."

"Oh……"

Turning around and returning to the classroom of Grade [-] Class C, the teacher came quickly and all the students in Class C returned to their seats.

Looking at the unexpected empty seat not far away, Haixing quickly looked away, but she didn't listen at all to what the teacher on the stage said.

Except for the last sentence.

"That's it, school is over." As soon as Zhongyuan Xue finished speaking, Haixing stood up.

"..."

She glanced at her, and the other students stood up. Nakahara Xue didn't say anything, turned around and left the classroom.

"I thought I was going to be scolded..."

Haixing picked up his schoolbag and left quickly.

Arriving at Class A, Morimi had just finished packing his things.

"Is Kazuha going to study at the private school today?"

"Well, are you going to his house?"

"Um……"

"Then Haixing, go ahead. I'll come back after class at about five o'clock. I'll leave him to you."

"it is good."

Before Morimi left, Takigawa Hikaru also went downstairs.

"Let's go back."

"Ah."

The three of them and Ogasawara left the school together and separated at the intersection. The two who were going to the school went to the station, while Haixing and Takikawa Hikari went to the bus stop to wait for the bus.

"It's been a long time since I took a bus back, and I'm a little used to it." Hikari Takigawa said.

"Yes."

"That's more troublesome when it snows."

"The snow season is still very long..."

The two of them stomped on the platform waiting for the bus. A gust of wind blew, biting and cold, mixed with white snow.

“It’s so cold, it’s so cold—”

The two huddled together and cuddled tightly. After waiting for another ten minutes, the bus finally came.

They got in the car and staggered all the way back to Qingliu. The two got out of the car and walked to Naruse's house together.

"Would you like to bring something?"

"No need."

"Well, it's about ingredients and stuff."

"Go and take a look first, then buy it when it comes out."

"it is good……"

Arriving at Naruse's house, Haixing was about to move the flower pot at the door that was mostly covered by snow. Hikaru Takigawa pulled her and took out the key from his pocket.

"I took Harumi's key with me when I left in the morning."

"Oh."

Opening the door and entering, the two patted the snowflakes on each other's heads and bodies.

Takigawa Hikaru went over to turn on the floor heating in the living room. When he turned around, Haixing had already gone upstairs.

She didn't rush up, went to the kitchen again, opened the refrigerator and took a look.

"Well, there's basically nothing left..."

Upstairs, Haixing slowly opened the door and walked in.

The lights were off and although the curtains were open, the room was still a little dark.

She walked to the bed, looked at the figure curled up in the bed, and sat down again.

"Chunhai..."

He opened his eyes, looked at her, and closed them again.

"School is over..." He didn't speak for a long time, and his voice was a little hoarse.

"Yeah." Haixing touched his forehead, "It's already past three in the afternoon."

"yes……"

He didn't go to school again today and stayed at home all day.

Perhaps because she had just come in from outside, her hands were cold and her forehead still felt very hot.

"Are you feeling better?" Haixing asked again.

He is sick.

He came back from Gaoshan City in the middle of the night last night. When they came here in the morning, he had already had a fever all night, and his body temperature was frighteningly high.

He himself said that he fell ill because he accidentally got caught in the rain yesterday and was tired from running back and forth.

"It's much better." Naruse opened his eyes again, "I have taken medicine and rested for such a long time. If I lie down for another night, I should be able to go to school tomorrow."

"Hey, why don't you just lie down for two more days..."

He smiled and said, "I have rested long enough."

"Okay." Haixing picked up the towel on the bedside, washed it, and wiped him.

He had woken up and didn't want to go back to sleep, so he kept his eyes open.

Seeing him looking out the window and distracted, Haixing said, "Hikaru is here too, downstairs. Kazuha said she would come over after class at the study school."

"Really?" Naruse came back to his senses and looked at her.

Throwing the towel into the basin and twisting it, she wrung it out again, "Do you want to wipe your back?"

He shook his head, "That's fine."

"Ok."

Hikaru Takigawa came up soon, "How is Harumi?"

"It's much better."

She sat on the edge of the bed, touched his forehead, and looked at Starfish again.

"It still feels a little hot."

Haixing nodded.

Naruse looked at the two of them and said, "Put two pieces of ice on my head. Can you not burn it?"

"My hands are not that cold."

"Isn't there a thermometer? Just measure it."

"Yes."

I took a thermometer to measure him, and sure enough it was much normal.

Putting away the thermometer, Hikaru Takigawa brushed the hair on his forehead and asked, "Are you hungry?"

"A little hungry."

"What do you want to eat, Harumi?" He looked straight at her, then looked at her again after a while, "I don't have much appetite."

"I cooked porridge, please eat some."

"it is good."

She looked at him for a while, then suddenly leaned down and kissed him on the forehead.

Naruse looked at her: "I always feel that the light today feels like my mother's."

She pressed the quilt, "Because I'm worried about Harumi."

"It's all right."

"I'm not talking about the body."

"..."

He was silent for a moment, looked away, and met Starfish's equally worried gaze again.

"I'm not back yet."

"When I called Chunhai yesterday, I didn't speak for a long time. I was worried to death."

"that time……"

He pursed his lips and said, "I'm totally lost. I don't know what to say."

After a pause, he continued: "Fortunately Guang called me, otherwise I would have sat in the rain until dark and wouldn't have been able to come back in the evening."

"I just said that Chunhai got wet by himself."

"I don't know where the umbrella was lost."

Takigawa Hikaru leaned down and leaned against his face for a while, then got up again, "I'm going to see how the porridge is cooking."

"There are umeboshi in the kitchen. Let's add a little bit. It has no taste at all and I can't eat it."

"it is good."

Takigawa Hikaru went downstairs, and Haixing also went down with a basin of water.

When she came up again, she had something in her hand.

"Open your mouth."

"what."

"Open your mouth."

Naruse opened his mouth, "Ah."

She threw something into his mouth.

"prune."

"Yeah." Haixing nodded, "How about it? Can you taste it?"

"Well……"

He looked at the ceiling, "It all smells like hand cream."

"Ah." Haixing looked down at his palm, "I forgot...I'm sorry."

Naruse smiled and told her not to worry.

"At least you can taste it."

"Um……"

Haixing sat on the bedside, "The porridge is almost ready, do you want to sit up first?"

"Okay." He sat up on his own and leaned against the head of the bed. Haixing brought a coat and put it on him.

After a while, Takigawa Hikari came up with a bowl of hot porridge.

"Can the low table be placed on the bed?"

"Then you have to be careful."

After putting something on the bed, she opened the low table and placed it on the bed. She then brought over the porridge with prunes.

"Be careful, it's still a little hot."

"Ah."

"Do you need me to feed you?"

Naruse smiled, and Takigawa Hikaru also laughed, watching him blow in a breath, slowly take a bite, and then asked: "Can you taste it?"

"Um……"

He pursed his lips and said, "The dried plums seem to be missing something."

"Eh, what?"

"The smell of hand cream."

"...hateful." Haixing puffed his lips.

"Starfish, do you want to eat something?"

"I don't have to...just take a small bite."

After watching him finish a whole bowl of porridge, Hikaru Takigawa packed up his things and went down again.

"I'll stay here tonight," Haixing said.

"Forget it." Naruse shook his head, "Although it's not a contagious cold, I'm still a patient after all."

"What does it matter?"

He shook her hand and shook his head, "Come back when I feel better."

"Okay..." Haixing could only agree.

After clearing away the dishes, Hikari Takigawa quickly came up and continued to accompany him.

"Haruhai hasn't gotten up all day today?"

"Well, I woke up in the morning when we came over, and it was noon when I woke up again. I lay down until one or two o'clock, then fell asleep again, and when I woke up again, it was time for the starfish to come up."

"I definitely won't be able to sleep at night."

"So I can't sleep anymore until midnight."

"Want to go to the bathroom?"

"I'll do it myself..."

At around five o'clock, Morimi came back from get out of class and came here.

"Are you still energetic?"

"Only one breath left."

"Really? Let me take a look." She put her hand into the quilt and he held it down.

"If you don't want me to die on the hospital bed, remember to take her away with you when you leave." Naruse said to Takigawa Hikari and Haisei.

"I see."

Morimi snorted, took out his hand, and touched his forehead again.

"It looks like the body is almost fully recovered."

"Ah."

"What about psychology?"

He pursed his lower lip.

"Almost there."
