Ome Quartet of Snow Country

Chapter 84
Coming out of the Silver Pavilion Temple, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon.

On the bus back, Takikawa Hikari looked back at Naruse in the back seat, then raised his hand and waved in front of his eyes twice.

"Chun Hai, your eyes are dead."

After several seconds, he raised his eyes and glanced at her and Hai Xing.

"It's not far away if you're not dead."

Takikawa Hikaru smiled slightly, "It seems that I am really tired."

Naruse didn't want to speak, so he blinked his eyes in response.

Compared with the Heian Jingu Temple that I went to in the morning, the scale of Ginkakuji Temple is not too big, but it makes people feel weak when walking around - because before going to Ginkakuji Temple, he has been dragged in the commercial street of Xinjingji Walked around for more than two hours.

Only then did he realize that the two of them were really just strolling around in Kawaramachi last night, and today was the real deal.

After looking at him for a while, Takikawa Hikaru turned around slightly and asked, "Where are you going to eat later?"

"Is light already hungry?"

"It's okay..."

"I don't have any appetite right now." Naruse said, "If Hikari and Haixing are hungry, just eat first, and leave me alone."

Hikaru Takikawa turned around without comment.

Starfish, who had been tilting his head, also looked away.

The bus stopped and went, and it took half an hour to send the three of them back to Gion.

Hikaru Takikawa still had enough energy, and he wanted to go to his sister's hotel to play, and he also attracted Haixing, and Naruse just wanted to go back to the room and lie down.

"Then we won't go up."

At the entrance of the hotel, she stuffed the souvenirs she bought while visiting the Silver Pavilion into his hands, "Let's put them at Chunhai's first."

"Ah."

The three separated temporarily, Naruse returned to the upstairs room, wanted to take a shower first, but felt exhausted, and fell directly on the bed.

After a few breaths, fatigue surged up like a tide, drowning him.

"...almost fell asleep."

Naruse shuddered, recovered a bit of sobriety, turned over and took out his phone, and recorded today's itinerary in the memo.

[...There are very few people, and the courtyard is quiet, suitable for walking.

……

Whether it is because of lack of money or for other reasons, it is the right choice for Yizheng not to put silver foil on it.There is no silver in the Silver Pavilion, and the rustic feeling is very good.

……

Giving a subtle feel to the platform.

……

The large moss is like velvet, very beautiful.

……

If you have enough time, Ginkakuji Temple is worth a visit. 】

Combined with the memories of the previous visits to Kyoto, he has sorted out a lot of records of his personal visits in the memo in the past two days, so as to prepare in advance for the next visit.

After recording today's itinerary, he opened the map and looked at it. He has been to many famous places in Kyoto, but his memory is deep and shallow.

"Is it the Kurama Temple..."

Naruse closed his eyes and recalled, but his thoughts could not continue to be as clear as before, and they were disconnected from time to time.

The phone slipped and he grabbed it.

"Well……"

Unable to open his eyes, he turned over.

Cell phones are no longer important.

When Naruse woke up again, the room was dark, with only a little light coming in from the window reflected on the ceiling.

"..."

He curled up, feeling cold and uncomfortable all over, and it took him a while to recover.

The cell phone under his body was also one of the sources of his constant discomfort in his sleep.

"Is it past ten o'clock?"

Seeing the time, he also saw dozens of messages from Takikawa Hikaru and Shangzi.

Getting up and turning on the light in the room, Naruse walked to the window, the four streets below were bright but empty, no one could be seen on the road.

Ten o'clock in the evening in autumn is already very late.

He froze for a while, then picked up his phone.

Guang: A few seniors want Chunhai's contact information, do you want to give it to them?

Light: [image]
Light: Hahaha

Guang: After sorting out today's photos, I found that Haruhi's strange expression was captured.

Guang: [quickly dying laughing]
Guang: Why don’t you read the news?
Guang: Hai Xing and I are coming back.Are Harumi hungry? We found a tonkatsu restaurant that looked good.

Guang: Did you fall asleep?
Guang: Let's eat first.

"..."

Naruse rubbed his empty stomach, feeling the real hunger.

Naruse: Asleep.

Naruse: Wake up.

The message was sent, but there was no response for a long time. Naruse guessed that she might have fallen asleep.

There are more messages from Shang Zi.

She left school.

She has arrived at the station.

She got in the car.

She got out of the car.

She went to the supermarket.

She is back home.

She started preparing dinner.

……

Shangzi: Too tired from shopping today, did you fall asleep?

The latest message came after eight o'clock.

Naruse glanced hastily, and was about to exit to call her when a new message came.

Shangzi: [Long time no see]
"...バカ." (ba ka)

She kept staring at the screen, waiting for his reply.

Naruse returned to the bed and sat down, and made a call.

After a few seconds, the call was connected.

"Fell asleep."

She smiled, her voice was slightly hoarse, "I just knew..."

"I walked around Xinjingji for a long time in the afternoon, and my legs almost broke."

"A shopping street?" she asked.

"Ah."

Naruse lay down again, "Afterwards, I went to the Ginkakuji Temple. After returning to the hotel, I lay down for a while and fell asleep."

"What about dinner?" Shangzi asked quickly.

"I haven't eaten yet. I'm not too hungry. I'll go down and have some supper later."

"Really?"

"Really. Really really."

"..."

She laughed and verbally chose to believe.

Listening to her breathing, Naruse asked after a while, "Has Shangzi fallen asleep yet?"

She hesitated before answering.

"almost……"

"'almost'?"

"I'm lying on the bed, but I haven't slept yet."

"That means falling asleep."

Shangzi buried himself in his pillow, "Well... almost."

Naruse didn't think much about it, and turned to ask another question that he noticed when he read the news just now.

"Mr. Hua and the others...didn't come back today?"

Shangzi was silent for a while.

"Yes. Mom and Dad have other jobs temporarily, so they don't have time to come back."

"..."

Naruse was speechless for a long time, and didn't know what to say, so he let out a long breath.

"You didn't cry, did you?"

She smiled.

"Nope."

"Really?"

"Really. Really really."

Naruse pouted.

"Then when are they coming back next time?"

"Mom and dad? I don't know... at least I won't be back for half a month."

He breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'll be back tomorrow afternoon."

She clenched the phone tightly and restrained herself, "Yes."

"sleep early."

"Um... um."

"I'm going to get something to eat."

"Is it far?"

"It's downstairs."

"OK, good night."

"Good night."

After hanging up the phone, Shangzi put down the phone, rubbed his dry eyes, pulled up the quilt again, and let himself completely sink into his quilt.

"Today... just sleep here."

On the other side, Naruse got up again and went to the window, looking down.

He said that there is a supper place downstairs, but he didn't want Shangzi to worry, but the actual situation was that he had to find it now.

"Well……"

At least there are no shops that are still open near the hotel.

"Aren't there any convenience stores?"

Naruse opened the phone map and looked at it, planning to find a convenience store and buy some instant noodles to satisfy his hunger.

The convenience store is easy to find, and it is less than 100 meters downstairs. However, after seeing a yakitori restaurant still open near the South Block, the idea disappeared immediately.

Skewers...

Bacon Roulade...Chicken Skewers...Scallion Beef Skewers...

"..."

Naruse couldn't help swallowing, and changed his mind.

Do you want to go alone?

He took out his mobile phone and looked at it. The message sent to Hikaru Takikawa was still unread. It seemed that she had indeed fallen asleep.

Starfish's words...

It was so late, she should have gone to bed already.

What's more, it might not be suitable for the two of them to be alone now.

Suppressing the memories of the past that came to mind, Naruse decided to go alone.

Leaving the room, the corridors of the hotel were lit with dark lights, and there was silence.

Controlling the sound of footsteps, Naruse came to the elevator and pressed the button for going downstairs.

1, 2, 3...

The red floor numbers jumped and stopped on the fourth floor.

Ding--

The elevator door opened, and both of them froze for a moment inside and outside the door.

"..."

Starfish is carrying a bag from a convenience store, which contains instant noodles, drinks and snacks.

"hungry?"

"……Um."

Naruse pursed his lower lip, breathing in slowly.
