Ome Quartet of Snow Country

Chapter 616 The Return
  Before seven o'clock in the morning, Shangzi woke up on his own.

What I saw before me was a little strange.

where is she……

She wanted to turn over and found that she was being held tightly. Wave after wave of warm breath was blowing on the back of her neck.

"..."

Holding the hand on her waist, she became more awake.

She is in Tokyo.

In his room, on his bed, next to him.

The blow on the back of his neck made him feel a little itchy. Shangzi moved down and squeezed back, making it fit closer to his chest.

She looked at the time and found that it was not yet seven o'clock. She was a little surprised. She didn't fall asleep too early last night.

Is it because I haven't gotten used to sleeping with him again?

After that night more than a month ago, they lived separately.

After that, she lived alone, whether at her home in Tsumae or in the old wooden house in the mountains.

Until a few days ago, he suddenly appeared in front of her again.

He really found her.

She didn't take the initiative to leave any clues, but with a few clues, he found her in the sea of ​​​​people across thousands of miles.

The so-called "forgive him if you find it" was originally just an excuse to avoid explaining the complicated thoughts in his heart to his mother. But at this moment, she turned around and looked back. Perhaps the moment she opened the post office door and saw him, she just didn't want to. That moment of conscious decision-making.

Has she forgiven him yet...

"..."

Taking a deep breath, Shangzi held the hand at his waist again, brought it to his mouth, and bit it down.

"Well...it hurts...it hurts, it hurts, it hurts--"

The pain in his hand made Naruse complete the transition from dazed to awake in just one breath.

"Shangzi?"

"It's time to get up." Shangzi said, but turned over again and hugged him without moving.

"..."

Looking at the teeth marks on his fingers, Naruse picked up the phone on the pillow and took a look at it, and found that it was not seven o'clock yet.

Putting down his phone, he also lowered his head, "Why did Shangzi wake up so early? Can't you sleep?"

"Ah."

Naruse yawned, "Then get up."

She didn't respond, so he continued to lie with her.

"My mother, are they up?"

"I didn't hear anything." Naoko said, burying herself in his chest.

Naruse himself held his breath and listened for a while. There was no movement outside, and it seemed that they hadn't gotten up yet.

"I guess you haven't woken up yet, ha..." He yawned again.

"Didn't you sleep enough?"

"Well, kind of... what time did we go to bed last night? It was almost one o'clock, right?"

"Can not remember."

Naruse lowered his head and kissed her forehead, then closed his eyes.

"Lie down a little longer."

"Ah."

When he opened his eyes again, Song Qianqiu was standing beside the bed, lifting the quilt and looking at him and Shangzi who was sleeping with him in his arms.

"Mom is going to work." Seeing him wake up, she smiled and whispered.

Naruse quickly woke up and said, "Yeah."

She touched his head and looked at Shangzi again, "Live a good life when you go back and stop messing around."

"I know."

"That's it. When Shangzi wakes up, remember to tell her that I'm going out."

"Ah."

Song Qianqiu gently put down the quilt, left his room, waved his hand and closed the door.

After a while, the sound of a door closing was heard outside.

Naruse hugged his girlfriend in his arms and said, "They are going out."

"……Um."

"You're all awake, why don't you say hello."

She opened her eyes, "Shy."

He smiled.

"I'll go back this time and see you next time, probably at the end of the year."

Shangzi moved up, "Yeah."

"Get up."

She nodded.

Both of them had almost slept this time and got up quickly. After washing up, Naruse went to prepare breakfast.

Half an hour later, the two left the apartment with their luggage.

They took the train to Tokyo Station and transferred to the Shinkansen. The three-hour journey was over and it was already noon when the two returned to Aomori, which was covered in heavy snow.

Then we took the tram back to Tsunmae, another forty minutes passed.

Coming out of the station, Naruse exhaled and held his girlfriend's hand tightly, "Welcome back."

"..."

She bit her lip and nodded.

"I am back."

The trip home would take a long time, so the two of them dragged their luggage directly to school.

"It's so quiet, class has already begun."

"Um……"

Returning to the school where he dropped out, Shangzi was so decisive then, but now he is so cautious. "It's okay." Naruse smiled and comforted his girlfriend, "Leave it to me."

She squeezed his hand.

Naruse took her directly to the staff room. It was class time. There were not many teachers left here, but the two teachers happened to be among them.

"..."

As soon as he saw him, Yanagisawa's eyes widened.

Naruse showed an apologetic smile, not knowing what Morimi told him.

Pulling Shang Zi, he came to Nakahara Snow who was also stunned, and he spoke directly.

"Teacher Nakahara, if Shangzi wants to transfer back to Jingao, what procedures need to be completed?"

"Ah... eh?"

Zhongyuan Xue's eyes turned and stayed on Shang Zi's face.

Naoko gently freed his hand, then bowed his head to the teacher and bent down.

"Because of my reckless behavior, I have caused a lot of trouble to Teacher Zhongyuan. I'm sorry."

Nakahara Snow was speechless, looked at her, and then at Naruse.

He also lowered his head, "Shangzi will also trouble Mr. Nakahara if he returns to Jingao."

In the afternoon, Naruse and Naoko stayed in the staff room, going through the process of returning to school under the guidance of Yuki Nakahara.

As for the guardian, although the couple could not be present, they still answered the phone - Nakahara Xue was very clear about her family's situation, and her requirements were not so strict.

Before school ended, Naoko's resumption process was almost complete.

"Welcome back to Jingao, to Class C of the second year, Ika-san."

Shangzi bowed deeply, "Thank you, teacher."

Zhongyuan Xue wiped the sweat from her head. In order to complete the formalities as soon as possible, this cold weather made her so busy that she sweated a lot - the hot air from the air conditioner was blowing all the time.

"Nakahana-san can come to school as normal tomorrow."

"Ok."

Naoko responded and looked to the other side of the staff room. After finishing her work, Naruse went to deal with his current teacher.

"Ahem... My body has almost recovered."

Yanagisawaoka didn't bother to talk nonsense. He just brought the attendance book in front of him and let him look at the shocking absence record on it.

Naruse glanced at it and suddenly remembered Matsu Chiaki's words yesterday, "I've been absent from work these days...Didn't it say anything above?"

The teacher stared, "Which one is on top?"

"At school?"

"what?"

"No, nothing..."

It seems that the relationship his mother is looking for is not very reliable, Naruse thought.

Anyway, he is back now, and there will probably be no need to skip school again. Although the number of days of attendance is dangerous, it will be no problem to go to school well after that.

Jingle bell--

The bell rang for the second period of the afternoon class.

"It's time to go to the evening shift meeting. Come over with us," Yanagisawa said to Naruse.

"Ok."

On the other side, Nakahara Snow and Shangzi also said the same thing.

The two dragged their suitcases and followed their respective teachers back to the classroom.

Class C got closer, and Naoko's return immediately caused the entire Class C to make a fuss.

Naruse showed his head at the door, waved to the open-mouthed Haixing, and then followed Yanagisawa back to Class A.

After all, he was only absent for a few days, and the reaction of his classmates was much calmer than that of Class C.

"Has Naruse finally been captured and taken back to school?"

"Yes."

"Not even wearing a uniform."

"forgotten."

While saying hello, he returned to his seat. He sat down and Morimi also turned around.

"I am back."

She stared at him for a long moment.

"Didn't you say that you would contact me after solving Shangzi's matter?"

"Sorry, I've been in such a hurry these two days..."

Morimi looked at him for a few more seconds and asked, "Where is Naoko?"

"In Class C."

"Have you resumed school?"

"Ah."

"It moves really fast..."

She had a lot of questions to ask, but the teacher on the stage had already begun to preside over the evening class meeting, and kept glancing in this direction.

"You turn around first and we'll talk later."

"what is the relationship."

"The guy on stage is staring at you."

She turned around anyway.

And when the evening class meeting ended, Mori Jian's questioning mood was no longer so urgent. He kept looking at the door of the classroom, as if waiting for something.

"Are you going to study at the private school today?" Naruse asked.

She turned around and said, "Can I go?"

"There's nothing wrong with it."

She glanced at the suitcase he placed next to the seat, then looked at him again.

"When the first wife comes back, isn't the first thing she wants to do, strangle me to death?"
