Ome Quartet of Snow Country

Chapter 66 Nervousness (listing for support)
After getting off the taxi and returning home, Naruse and Shangzi lay on the sofa for a long time without moving.

After the couple came back and left for a short time, their lives returned to the way they were before.

"It's a good thing you don't have to wash the dishes."

"Um……"

"I want to move."

"En." Shangzi responded, but sat up with support, and then got up and left the sofa.

Naruse turned her head to look, she left the living room and walked towards the bathroom.

After a while, she came back and sat down again.

"The hot water is on, let Chunhai take a shower first."

"it is good."

Lie down for a while, guessing that the hot water is almost ready, Naruse got up to take a bath.

It was getting colder at night, so enjoying the soak in hot water, Naruse didn't want to leave until Shangzi knocked on the door.

"Chunhai, did Pao fall asleep?"

"No."

When Shangzi also came out of the shower and returned to the living room, he was holding the broken book commissioned by the news agency to repair it, and carefully observed it.

"It should be able to stick with glue... but it seems to affect the turning of the pages. This kind of reference book should be turned quite frequently."

Shangzi sat down next to him, "Go and ask Mr. Morimi, his shop used to help people restore old books."

"Well, that's what I planned too. Let's talk about it tomorrow." Naruse put the book away.

"uh-huh."

She wiped her hair, suddenly lowered her head, and moved closer.

"Does it still smell like barbecue in your hair?"

Naruse lowered his head and smelled it, only a faint fragrance remained on his black and wet hair.

"Nothing."

"That's good."

Shangzi raised his head and smiled, then knelt on the sofa with one knee, leaned close to his head, and sniffed lightly.

"Well, Chun Hai's hair doesn't smell like barbecue anymore."

"..."

The pajamas were propped up high, and they were close in front of the eyes. The full weight gave off an amazing sense of oppression, and Naruse didn't hear what Shangzi was saying at all.

She sat down quickly, grabbed the towel draped over her shoulders, and continued to dry her hair.

Naruse watched the TV.

It doesn't seem so cold at night.

The next day, weekend morning.

No need to get up early, Naruse slept for a while before getting up.

When I went downstairs, Shangzi had just come from home, looking sleepy.

"Eyes are about to close."

"Well……"

"Let me prepare breakfast."

"Then I'll help."

Naruse knew that his cooking skills were not as good as Naoko's, but he only prepared breakfast, so the difference was nothing.

"There are still fish nuggets in the refrigerator."

"Ah."

"Then let's make pan-fried fish nuggets for breakfast, and then..."

After breakfast, Naruse returned to his room, saw the schoolbag on the table, and remembered that there was one more thing to deal with.

"I'll go to the bookstore." He took the torn book and was about to go out.

"Don't force it if you can't repair it well," Shangzi said.

"It won't be a big problem."

When I came to Morimi Bookstore, today's business has just started, and Mori Miki is a little busy.

Naruse walked around the bookshelves first, and when he was free, he went to look for him with the torn book and the novel he had just picked out.

"Chunhai came really early today, don't you want to sleep more on weekends?"

"Just wake up." Naruse smiled.

In fact, as the weather was getting colder, if it wasn't for each other, he and Shangzi would both give up breakfast and stay in bed for half a day.

The novel was settled first, followed by the broken book.

"Huh? In our store..."

"No, I brought this book here." Naruse pointed at the damaged place, "My friend at school asked me, Mr. Morimi, can you repair it for me?"

"Let me take a look." Mori Jianshu picked up the book, flipped through it, and quickly put it down.

"It's not a big problem, but I can't help Chunhai repair it now, because the tools are not here. Or you can put the book here and come back to get it in a few days?"

Naruse was stunned for a moment, "Is there no business for restoring old books in the store now?"

"Yes. In fact, there were not many people who came to repair books before. In recent years, there have been almost none. When I cleaned up last time, I asked Yiye to take all the repairing tools to the old house."

Mori Jianshu thought for a while, "If Chunhai is free, you can go there now. Yiye can help you solve this little problem."

Naruse thought about it, and agreed.

"Yiye should have woken up."

"Hehe, that kid won't sleep in late."

Coming out of the bookstore, Naruse looked left and right, then turned and walked towards Morimi's house.

Passing by the real wood hotel, the storefront below has opened, but there is no sign of real wood Seiichiro, and the windows facing the street on the second floor are still closed.

Starfish is probably still sleeping late.

"What time is it?"

Naruse muttered, but didn't stop.

Turning at the next intersection, there is still no one on the road.

The sun was rising high, and the frost that had formed in the fields on both sides had gradually melted away.

The weeds are either withered and yellow, or turned into a deep green, and the autumn is getting stronger.

With non-stop footsteps, the old black Japanese house gradually became clear and magnified in his eyes. When Naruse thought of sending a message to Morimi, he had already arrived at her door.

"Should have woken up."

He took a few steps back and looked at the window on the second floor.

"Sen sees—"

Naruse yelled, but there was no response, and he yelled again.

"Sen sees—"

Waited for more than half a minute, still no results.

Only today, is the exception still sleeping?
Naruse took out his mobile phone and was going to send her a message, if he didn't reply, he wouldn't bother him, come back later.

"...Narase?"

He was editing the news with his head down, when Senjian's voice suddenly came from above.

"See you..."

Morimi finally appeared by the window, not wearing glasses, squinting at him.

She has messy hair and is also wearing pajamas, visibly listless.

"Are you still sleeping?"

She sneered inexplicably, turned around and disappeared into the window.

"..."

Naruse suddenly felt a headache.

What's going on, why did she become so neurotic again?

A little while later, with a soft click, Morimi opened the sliding door.

As he got closer, the haggardness on her face was more clearly presented in front of him, and the dark circles under her eyes were telling her worrying quality of sleep.

She didn't change her clothes, but she put on her glasses, and her eyes fell on him motionlessly through the cold lenses.

"What's up?"

"Well, I want you to help me repair this book."

Sen Jian looked at the torn book in his hand, but said nothing.

"I can come back later," Naruse said.

She glanced at him, turned and entered the room, "No. Come in."

Naruse had no choice but to follow in.

"Dad asked you to come here?"

"Well, Mr. Morimi said that all the tools are here."

He hadn't been to Senjian's house for many years, and the last time he walked into this house seemed to be before Haixing became his sister.

Although the Japanese house is old everywhere, its scale is larger than that of any nearby house, just like a castle located in a rural village.

The princess who lived alone in the castle seemed to be in a bad mood because her sleep was disturbed at this time.

"I haven't seen those things for a long time." Senjian walked in front and led him to the living room, "I have to look for it."

"Yeah." Naruse didn't mind waiting for a while.

"Let me see first." She reached out for the torn book in his hand again.

Naruse handed it over, without moving his eyes, guarding against her sudden urge to tear up the book for no reason.

"What?" She quickly realized.

"It seems that you are not in a good state."

Sen Jian sneered again.

"about to die."

"..."

Naruse immediately shut up.

What hit her again?

After flipping through it a few times, Senjian put down the torn book in his hand, and looked at the cover again, "Whose book is this?"

"Mian Guanguangli, a girl from the news agency, entrusted our restoration department to repair it for her yesterday. I don't have much experience, so I came to find a professional."

"It's nothing..." She couldn't help but yawned halfway through her speech, and gave the same evaluation as her father, "No problem, it's easy to fix."

Naruse looked at her, "Did you not sleep well last night?"

"I didn't fall asleep for a minute."

Mori Jian pushed the book over, "It's just insomnia."

"why?"

"Think what you think."

"..." Naruse immediately looked away and rolled his eyes.

She is not in a normal state today, it is better for him to keep silent.

"Hehehe..."

Seeing him roll his eyes, Senjian laughed a few times instead, and then stood up.

"Wait, it may take some time for me to find the repair tools. I have to drink water and pour it myself."

"Yeah." Naruse was glad that he just bought a novel and brought it here.

Seeing him take out the book, she stopped again before walking out of the living room.

"It seems that you are really idle."

Naruse immediately stood up, "I'll help."

"No, that's not what I meant."

She took one last look at him and turned to go out.

"Please feel free."
