Ome Quartet of Snow Country

Chapter 91
Dengdengdengdeng-

Accompanied by the sound of hurried footsteps, Hai Xing ran upstairs alone, and then there was the sound of the door being closed heavily.

"starfish!"

Seiichiro Maki looked up in front of the stairs at the bottom, but he didn't get a response for a long time.

"Sorry." He looked at his newly married wife, "Hai Xing, she..."

Song Qianqiu shook her head slightly, expressing that she didn't care, or that she had gotten used to being targeted by her stepdaughter these days.

"Spring Sea."

She looked at her son who was standing by the wall with his head tilted, "You wanted to do something to Starfish just now, didn't you?"

"……No."

Seiichiro Maki also leaned over, "I'm sorry, Harumi, Ms. Song, it was Hai Xing who spoke too much just now..."

"—Is anyone there?" Suddenly someone shouted from the shop outside.

Song Qianqiu looked at him, "Mr. Seiichiro, go over here, just leave it to me."

Seiichiro Maki looked at Harumi again and nodded.

When her husband went out, Song Qianqiu knelt down and touched his son's face.

She grimaced, but failed to amuse him.

As he grew older, it became more and more difficult for this trick to work.

"Chunhai just wanted to hit Starfish, right?"

"..."

He didn't deny it this time.

"Who made her say that just now?"

Song Qianqiu sighed softly.

"Haixing just has some misunderstandings about me and her father. We will try to solve these misunderstandings, but we can't solve the problem with our hands——Chunhai has fought with Haixing several times in the past half month."

"She did it first." Chun Hai said.

Song Qianqiu looked at him and said nothing.

After being stared at for a while, Chunhai lowered his eyes to avoid her gaze, "Twice I struck first..."

"Only twice?"

"...Maybe five times."

Apart from sighing, Song Qianqiu didn't know what to say.

"All in all, Hai Xing is Chun Hai's younger sister now, you are not allowed to bully her."

"What if she bullies me?"

"My brother is going to be bullied by my sister."

Chun Hai immediately raised his head: "How could such a thing—"

Song Qianqiu smiled, and continued:

"Haixing is a girl, if she just loses her temper, Chunhai will bear with it a little bit; if she makes a move..."

"—I can hit her."

"No."

Song Qianqiu glared at his son, then squeezed his wrist, "If starfish hits you, wouldn't it be fine for Chunhai to just grab her hand so that she can't hit you? Could it be that Chunhai is not as strong as a girl? "

"How is it possible!...But Guang's strength is about the same as mine."

"Guang... Guang's situation is another story. In short, don't do anything to Hai Xing anymore——Chun Hai obviously liked Hai Xing very much before, and even said he wanted to marry her."

Chun Hai curled his lips, "If I marry Yiye, I won't marry her."

"Don't say such impolite words."

Song Qianqiu poked his son's head, "Yiye is small and thin, isn't he cute too? And I think that child is also very smart."

Chunhai avoided her fingers, so he didn't ask why she thought Yiye was smart.

"Okay, it's getting late, go wash up, and then go upstairs to sleep." Song Qianqiu stood up and patted his head again.

"Where's mom?"

"It's not time to close the door yet." She pointed outside, "Mom wants to help Dad."

Chunhai didn't say anything, and went to wash up.

After washing up, I came to the second floor, and the door of Haixing's room was tightly closed.He took a look and opened the door to another room next to him.

This is the new room he has lived in for more than half a month.

The initial strangeness gradually subsided. He dragged out the bedding from the closet and spread it on the floor. He was already somewhat proficient in this matter.

Before lying down to sleep, he opened the window again and looked out into the street.

His room is on the side, and the view from the window is slightly worse than that of Haixing, but he can still see the Morimi Kohonen store diagonally opposite.

"Is Yiye very smart?"

Looking at the bright light sign at the door of the bookstore, he muttered, then closed the window and went to sleep.

It's just that the night is a little too long for children.

The night was getting deeper and deeper, and it was getting quieter outside, but he kept awake.

After an unknown amount of time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the room.

Then, the door was opened.

He closed his eyes, and someone came over lightly, pulled up the quilt on his body, and went out again after not staying for long.

It's mom.

"Is it closed..."

Chun Hai pricked up his ears in the darkness, and soon, he heard the sound of the rolling shutter door falling.

He closed his eyes and prepared to sleep seriously.

And just as his consciousness gradually became blurred, there was another sound of much lighter footsteps outside.

The door was opened again.

Slight footsteps did not stop until he was behind him.

The darkness fell silent again.

"..."

After an unknown amount of time, his quilt was suddenly lifted, and someone got in.

There was a cold touch on the back and waist, and a sob sounded in the darkness.

"Chunhai... don't hate me."

A little damp, slowly spread in the back.

Years later, when she hugged him from behind again, in a trance, Naruse thought he was dreaming.

"...So you weren't asleep?"

She hugged him tightly, her head against his back.

"Woke up..."

Naruse felt a little regretful about the unnecessary action before he fell asleep, he struggled twice, and grabbed the wrist around his waist.

"what are you doing……"

Hai Xing didn't speak, and rubbed his head lightly behind his back.

woohoo-

It's raining harder outside.

"Are you hungry?"

"Do not……"

Lying on the tatami, Naruse looked at the dimly lit yard and asked in a low voice, "What exactly does the starfish want to do?"

Starfish was silent again.

Sensing the dampness coming through the yukata, Naruse took a deep breath.

"why are you crying."

The sobbing was only allowed at this time, and a little leaked out.

"I don't know... I don't know..."

Hai Xing repeated it several times, his voice getting lower and lower.

"starfish……"

"...It's so strange that it's like this now."

Naruse pursed his lower lip.

"Traveling together, eating sukiyaki together, and sleeping together at night...it's so weird."

Hai Xing raised his hand and wiped his eyes, "Have you forgotten the past?"

"……No."

"So...are you pretending that nothing happened now?"

After a few more seconds of silence, Naruse said, "Isn't starfish the same?"

"..."

She was speechless for a moment, tears streaming down again.

The rain roared in the yard.

The two were deadlocked in silence, Naruse broke away from her arm and sat up.

His eyes had adapted to the darkness, he looked at Hikaru Takikawa who was fast asleep, then looked down at Starfish, took a deep breath and said:
"When my mother and Mr. Seiichiro separated, our relationship was over. Didn't Haixing accept it at that time?"

"..."

She lowered her head, huddled under the blanket, and mumbled inaudible words.

Naruse lifted the quilt a little, and she flinched again.

"...I don't want to accept it."

He took a deep breath and opened his mouth slowly.

"At that time, I had clearly told Haixing: I pretended to like you just to hurt and take revenge on Haixing.

Even now, I don't think my way of revenge is correct... No, there is nothing right or wrong, you and I only wanted to hurt others at the time. "

Naruse stretched out his hand to push down the quilt, forcing her to look at him.

"Haixing said at the time that he already knew that I was lying to you and was just cooperating with me. So at that time, all the real and fake relationships between us had all ended."

Hai Xing was speechless, and a stream of tears welled up in his eyes.

Naruse let go of his hand, but looked away again.

"Now we travel together, eat together, and sleep together, because we want to get along with Haixing as normal friends...it has nothing to do with the past."

Hai Xing didn't speak, and after a while, he sat up from his bed.

She lowered her head, her hair became messy from the previous tossing, and her voice was a little hoarse.

"friend……"

"Ah."

Another moment of silence.

"look at me."

Naruse turned his head, "What..."

She approached suddenly and kissed him without warning.

"Well……"

Although it has been unfamiliar for a long time, Lip and Tongue responded subconsciously.

Soft, moist, cold and hot.

Rough demands, the pleasure of pain.

"..."

Naruse finally came to his senses and pushed her away.

She still wanted to get closer, but he pushed her down on the quilt, and strangled her neck with one hand.

He looked at her coldly, but couldn't exert any strength in his hands.

"I said, it's over...it's all over."

The rough collision left a painful result, and a trace of bloody smell permeated each other's mouths.

"This feeling……"

Being strangled by the neck, Hai Xing looked at him motionless, "I can't forget it."
