Ome Quartet of Snow Country

Chapter 93 Don't Want To Go Back To The Past
Drop a coin, choose a drink, and with a bang, a bottle of juice falls out of the vending machine.

Taking out the juice, Naruse looked at the direction where the Takikawa sisters left, and estimated that they would not return here for a while.

Looking at Hai Xing again, she squinted her eyes, lowered her eyes when he looked over, and stared at the two bottles of drinks she just bought in her hand.

——Because her eyes were a little swollen, she didn't wear contact lenses before going out today, so she had to squint her eyes to see everything.

"They have a while."

"……Um."

"What the hell is Starfish thinking?"

"..."

She opened her mouth and lowered her head, "What?"

Naruse looked into the distance, and quickly looked away, staring at the redness and swelling under her eyes.

"Is what happened last night just a whim?"

He specially dragged her over to buy drinks, and it was really for this matter.

"No..." Hai Xing couldn't stay silent for too long, and didn't know what to say.

At this moment, without the stacking and promotion of all kinds of emotions, she has lost the courage she had when she was awakened by his action of wiping away her tears last night.

Saying those words, even taking the initiative to kiss him, said it was a whim, but in fact there was nothing wrong with it.

But she didn't want him to think it was just a whim.

Realizing that she would not say more if she continued to wait, Naruse was a little anxious.

He had to solve Hai Xing's problem before returning to Tsuqian, especially before returning to Shang Zi's side.

He changed to a direct way of asking: "Does Haixing want to go back to the previous relationship?"

She raised her head all of a sudden and looked at him without speaking.

"Impossible." He announced the conclusion more directly.

"..."

The two stood next to the vending machine. Someone came to buy drinks. Naruse waited silently for a while, but more and more people came over.

He had no choice but to pull Starfish to the platform.

When there were no one around, Naruse stopped.

"If what happened in the past two days gave Haixing the illusion, then I will apologize... No, I actually want to improve our relationship with Haixing."

He looked at her, "as a childhood sweetheart, or a friend."

Starfish pursed her lower lip.

"And that abnormal relationship has long since ended."

Naruse lowered his gaze, "No matter what Haixing has done, it was my own mistake. I cheated and hurt Haixing, I'm sorry. So, don't let the mistake continue..."

"—Is there only a mistake?" Hai Xing asked suddenly.

"..."

Naruse was taken aback.

of course not.

The mistake was just the beginning, and what he learned from it was not just the pleasure he got from hurting her by cheating.

There is also a kind of ... twisted liking.

An extremely distorted emotion built on the purpose of revenge and harm, wrapped in lies and deceit, and ended up being immersed in it unknowingly.

Secretive and shameful, ridiculous and childish.

Sadly both are unforgettable.

"of course."

Naruse took a deep breath, "It was wrong at the beginning, and of course the rest are also wrong."

"..."

Eyes are sore.

Hai Xing lowered her head, bit her lips tightly, and kept rolling her eyes so that disappointment and grievance would not burst out from the corners of her eyes.

Because the beginning was wrong, do you have to deny everything after that?
Or is she really the only one who still misses the intimacy that briefly existed in the gap of indifference at that time?
In silence, the pain from her lips woke her up.

"will not forget……"

Hai Xing looked up at him, "I won't forget."

"..."

Before Naruse could speak, she said again:

"I just want to say, I don't forget ... I don't want to go back to that relationship.

I will use this incident to remind myself not to be fooled by you again in the future.I don't want to be your friend either. "

After watching her for a while, Naruse moved his eyes to Takikawa Hikaru and Takikawa Tsuki who were running towards this side, and swallowed the other words.

"up to you."

He won't forget, that's all.

It was almost noon when the train arrived in Tokyo.

"Chunhai, it's time to get out of the car."

Awakened by Hikaru Takigawa's shake, Naruse picked up his luggage, got off the bus and changed trains in a hurry.

buzz-

Phone vibrates.

buzzing-

The phone keeps vibrating, it's a phone call.

Naruse transferred all the luggage to one hand, took out the phone and glanced at it.

"..."

It's Song Chiaki's call.

"Hello?" He connected immediately.

"Spring Sea~"

The mother's relaxed voice came from the microphone. It seemed that she might not be filming today, "What are you doing?"

"In..." Naruse looked at the three people who had stopped and waited for him, and motioned them to move on with his eyes, "I'm busy."

"In Kyoto? I know. I'm asking what you're up to."

"..."

Naruse's forehead began to sweat, "How do you know?"

Song Qianqiu smiled, "Guess."

"...Shangzi told you?"

She laughed again, but didn't let him guess any more.

"No, it's Haruhi who sent all the bills to my mailbox in the past few days. 'AKANE·Kyoto Gion Store' is in Kyoto, right?"

"..."

Naruse was silent, he used the card that Matsu Chiaki gave him for some electronic payments.

"So, what did Chun Hai do?"

"School trip..."

"Wow, is Chun Hai already in the third grade? Time flies so fast."

Naruse had no choice but to confess, "I went to Kyoto with the school trip team."

"Does Chunhai like Kyoto so much? Didn't he just go on a school trip last year?"

"Relax once in a while." Naruse didn't want her to think too much or complain, so he didn't say that Hikaru Takikawa dragged him here.

"So, it's actually playing truant."

"Hmm... skipped school."

"Well……"

Song Qianqiu pondered for a while, then suddenly sighed, "Forget it, as long as Chunhai feels happy."

"Don't say things that make me feel guilty on purpose."

"Haha."

She laughed, and then asked: "Chunhai couldn't have gone to Kyoto alone, right? Besides Shangzi, is there anyone else?"

Naruse looked up at the sky.

"Shangzi didn't come. There is light and starfish."

"Starfish?...Eh, isn't Shangzi with Haruhi?" Song Qianqiu was surprised by the choice of the two girls.

"Shangzi's parents were going to come back for a day, so she didn't come with them."

"Well, 'it should be'."

"Well... in the end, I still didn't come back."

Song Qianqiu couldn't help sighing, feeling sorry for Shangzi.

"Where's Haixing, have Chunhai and her reconciled enough to go out to play together?"

"No, I just broke up with you this morning."

"what?"

Naruse didn't explain much, but threw the topic back to her side.

"No filming today?"

"Yes." Her tone suddenly rose a bit, "But I'm not in Tokyo, I'm going to a place not too far away to take pictures. I just got in the car now. Guess where I'm going, Haruhi?"

Naruse was on the phone while walking, "Karuizawa?"

"It's not Karuizawa, the filming over there is over—and Karuizawa is too close."

too close……

He thought about it again, "Could it be Kyoto?"

"Bingo~ There is a scene about going to Kyoto on a business trip. I'm going to visit Kyoto University, and then sit on the steps next to the Kamogawa Delta for a while to enlighten the young juniors."

Song Qianqiu said, and smiled again, "How about it, do you have a nervous feeling of playing truant and being caught by your mother?"

"...I'm in Tokyo."

"I know... huh?"

Naruse felt a little helpless, "I skipped school for a few days, it's time to go back."

"—Harukai is still at Tokyo Station?" Song Qianqiu asked suddenly.

"Hmm... which platform are you on?" Naruse also reacted immediately and stopped.

"Platform 18... No, I still don't need to come here."

Naruse also heard the voice over there, and ran away.

Platform 18 was right next to him, and when he ran over, the safety gate beside the railway had already closed, and the Shinkansen train bound for Kyoto was slowly starting.

He looked around, and just about to ask, Matsu Chiaki who was standing at the junction of the carriages appeared in front of him along with the train.

"..."

Song Qianqiu was in the car, saw him first, smiled and waved through the car window.

"It didn't catch up."

The train was speeding up, with a quick glance, Naruse only had time to wave his hand.

"Okay, hurry up and go to your own platform." Song Qianqiu said on the phone.

"En." Watching the train leave, Naruse also walked back.

"I think tomorrow is the weekend, if Haruhi hasn't returned, he should stay in Kyoto for two more days... What a pity."

"It was already delayed by one day. When are you going back to Tokyo?"

"I have to come back after filming in the afternoon. After all, I didn't go on vacation in the past. I was supposed to go there yesterday, but it was postponed until today because of the rain. What's the matter, is Chunhai going to stay in Tokyo for one night?"

"No, just to ask." Naruse felt a little regretful, but didn't say much.

When he came to platform 23, where he was supposed to go, sisters Takikawa and Haixing didn't get on the train, and they were waiting for him on the platform.

"That's it...bye."
