Ome Quartet of Snow Country

Chapter 617 Unforgivable

After receiving the news, he hurried downstairs and came to Class C of the second year. When he saw the short-haired Naoko surrounded by a group of girls, Takigawa Hikaru's eyes immediately turned red.

"Shangzi!"

Looking over following the sound, Naoko smiled when he saw her outside the crowd.

"Long time no see, Hikari."

"Shangzi..."

Shangzi looked at the girls on the left and right again, "I'm going back. Let's talk tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow, Naoko!"

"Ok."

"I'll send you a message tonight."

"Ok."

"It's great to see Naoko again!"

"I'm happy too."

After saying goodbye to all the girls, when Naoko stood up, Naruse was already waiting at the door of Class C's classroom.

And behind him was Morimi with his eyes lowered.

"..."

The smile on his face faded a little, and Naoko looked at Takigawa Hikaru and Haixing, who had been waiting for a long time, "Let's go."

Arriving outside the classroom, Morimi had to face her, "Welcome back, Naoko."

"Long time no see, Kazuyo."

Shangzi's gaze stayed on her face for two seconds, his expression unchanged, "If you have anything to say, let's talk about it when we get back."

Mori nodded.

The five of them went downstairs together, and Naruse said, "Why don't you go to the handicraft club and take a look."

"We'll talk about it tomorrow." Shangzi held his arm, "If we go there now, I don't know when I can go home."

"Ah."

After changing their shoes, they left the school and walked to the bus stop. The five of them were very quiet along the way.

When they arrived at the platform, it would be a while before the bus arrived. Hikari Takigawa broke the silence and asked about the two people's itinerary.

"I came from Tokyo this morning. As I said before..."

She asked, and Naruse replied that Haisei would look at whoever spoke, while Naoko and Morimi remained silent unless the topic came to them.

"...Then Shangzi has been living alone in that kind of house during this period, lonely and helpless?"

"It's not as exaggerated as Harumi said."

Shangzi smiled and said, "The house is not that shabby, just a little deserted. There is also a pair of grandparents living nearby, who take good care of me."

Before long, the bus came.

The five people got on the car, Naoko and Naruse sat together, and the suitcase that was not convenient to take in was taken over by Takigawa Hikaru.

It was windy, snowy, and swaying all the way. After more than [-] minutes, several people got off the car at Qingliu.

Looking at the all-too-familiar scenery in front of him, Shangzi took a deep breath.

"I never thought I could come back here again."

Her words silenced the three girls behind her.

"I never gave up." Naruse pulled the suitcase and held her with the other hand, "Let's go home."

"uh-huh."

The suitcase dragged long traces on the snow. The two of them walked in front, looking around as if they were new arrivals.

"When I left last week, the snow wasn't this deep."

"Almost a week."

He didn't meet anyone on the road. When he returned to the two adjacent houses, Shangzi stopped and walked back to his home.

Naruse grabbed her and said, "You're going the wrong way."

"Just put the suitcase back in the room." Shangzi smiled at him, "Bring my things over by the way."

Only then did he let go, "Then I'll come over and help clean up."

"Put your luggage back first."

"Ah."

The two of them went back to their respective homes. Naruse opened the door, and Mori saw the three of them following him in.

Putting down the suitcase, he looked at the three of them respectively, "I'm back."

Starfish rushed towards him and hugged him.

After touching her back, Naruse looked at Morimi and Hikari Takigawa again.

"It's okay. Since Shangzi has come back, it means that she is willing to face what happened before. Everyone is here today, and the problem will always have a solution."

"..."

The two looked at each other and then at him.

"You guys sit here for a while first." Naruse let go of Haixing, "I'll go help Naoko pack her things. I'll be here soon."

"it is good……"

After walking out of the house and coming to the opposite side of the house, Shangzi sat on the sofa and was looking at the various traces left by her parents on the table to find her.

There are several pages full of crossed out names and numbers, recording disappointments and exhaustion over and over again.

The letter she left for her parents before she left was also on the table and had been read countless times.

Naruse went over and sat down, and Naoko came closer.

"I'm so...so selfish."

He hugged her shoulders and squeezed gently, "It's over."

After sitting for a while, Shangzi packed up everything here and kept it properly before going back to the room to pack his clothes.

When going downstairs, Naruse also packed her toiletries and other things together.

"Is there anything else?" "That's almost it... Anyway, it's right next to it, and you can come over at any time."

"That's right." Naruse smiled, "Let's go."

The two returned to the house on the other side, opened the door, and turned on the floor heating in the house, which was already warm.

As soon as they saw Shangzi come in, the three people who had been waiting here for a long time knelt down on the ground and assumed the posture of sitting down.

"..."

Naoko was stunned and turned to look at Naruse.

He was also a little dazed, "I didn't ask them to do this..."

"I'm sorry, Naoko."

Takigawa Hikaru was the first to speak, "We did many unforgivable things behind Shangzi's back. Although I never meant to hurt Shangzi, what I did really hurt Shangzi. If Shangzi wanted As long as it makes you feel better, I will accept whatever punishment you have."

"I accept everything." Haixing followed.

"..." Senjian buried his head lower.

Shangzi was silent, walked up to the three of them, glanced at the three heads on the ground, and then stopped at the long black hair on the right.

As soon as she lifted her feet, a hand next to her pressed on her thigh.

"..."

Facing her gaze, Naruse felt a little helpless, "Let's forget about stepping on the head."

"What a stamp on the head."

If she doesn't admit it, of course he won't force her to admit it, but he will just pay more attention to her next actions.

After his only impulse was stopped, Shangzi did nothing but let them get up.

"Naoko, are you willing to forgive me?" Takigawa Hikaru looked up at her.

Shangzi smiled, "Yes."

She lowered her head again and sighed deeply.

"Sorry……"

Naoko pulled her up.

Haixing also looked up at her, "I'm sorry, Naoko."

"Starfish, get up too."

Haixing climbed up, looked at her, then at Naruse, and finally followed their gazes to Morimi, who still had his head lowered.

"Did Harumi tell Naoko everything that happened before?"

Shangzi looked at her, "Yes."

"Then no matter what I say, it's probably impossible for Shangzi to forgive me."

Shangzi still answered the same, "Yes."

Takigawa Hikaru on the side opened his mouth, then tightened his lips.

"I'm sorry." Morimi lay on the ground.

"Ah."

"Please allow me to stay with you as before."

Naoko didn't answer, but looked at Naruse.

"If Shangzi doesn't agree, I will be in trouble." He held her hand, "And this is not her fault alone."

She looked at him for a while, then lowered her eyes and sighed silently.

This was a mistake she, he, and everyone made together.

"Get up too Kazuyo."

Hikaru Takigawa immediately helped Morimi up.

The two looked at each other, and after a brief silence, Morimi lowered his head first.

"sorry."

"Can we be alone for a while?" Naoko asked.

"can."

"Then let's go to Harumi's room."

"it is good."

Naruse and the other three stayed downstairs, and the two of them went upstairs and closed the door.

Snapped!

"I will never forgive you in this life."

With burning pain on his face, Morimi pursed his lips and just adjusted his crooked glasses.

"……I know."

Naoko looked at her for a while.

"How did you feel when you made that decision?"

“If I didn’t do that, I would never have had the chance to get him in my life.”

"But the person Harumi likes...chooses first is me."

"Yes...but no matter what, I can't stop wanting to get him."

She raised her hand again.

Morimi closed his eyes.

The expected pain never came to his face.

She opened her eyes again.

Shangzi grabbed her wrist and looked at her calmly with tears in her eyes.

"I can never forgive Kazuyo.

"……Yes, I know."
