The next morning, Song Qianqiu slept until he woke up naturally.
After eating the breakfast prepared by Naoko, she said goodbye to Naruse, Haisei, who had already gotten up early, and the Morimi and Takikawa sisters who came to see her off. She got into her assistant's car and returned to Tokyo to continue working.
After sending off Matsu Chiaki, the Takikawa sisters went home, and Haixing, who stayed overnight, also wanted to go back, so Morimi stopped by to join her.
"Did Haixing stay at his house last night?"
"Yeah."
Morimi nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
She specially got up early to see her off, mainly because she wanted to stay in the bookstore. After separating from Haixing, she watched her return home and walked into the bookstore.
"Kazuye, has Miss Matsu left already?"
"Well, we just set off. Let me watch from outside."
Although Morimi Furu Honten is the only choice for reading enthusiasts within a few kilometers, in winter, it snows heavily all day long, and it is really not busy.
At least there is no one now.
She came over early, tidied the bookshelf a little, and then cleaned, and then she had nothing to do.
After sitting at the counter with a book in hand, Morimi looked up again and saw a customer wandering among the bookshelves in the store.
"There are no new books over there," she said.
"Really?"
Naruse responded, put his hand on the bookshelf, and walked around groping around. Finally, he selected a book with a somewhat attractive title. He opened it and looked at it. It felt good, so he took it to the counter to check out. p>
"Is this one... Well, I've read this one." Morimi glanced at the cover and said.
Naruse looked over with some caution.
She hummed softly and smiled again.
"I'm in a pretty good mood right now, so I won't spoil it for you."
Drop——
After scanning the barcode, the price of the books was basically between 400 yen and 600 yen. Naruse directly handed over a thousand-yen bill.
Senjian didn’t answer.
"You have to give change every time. You almost wiped out all my change."
She stood up, reached for his wallet, shook it twice, and found it was jingling inside.
"Isn't it all full of change?"
"Then take it."
She poured out all the coins at once.
Picking out the money needed for the book just now, she counted the remaining coins and said, "Give me the change."
"Whatever." Naruse didn't care. He was just too lazy to look for it and had no hobby of collecting change. "Just leave some for me."
After counting a pile of coins, she divided out a small portion and asked him to confirm the remaining amount.
He just glanced at it and said, "Yeah."
Morimi didn't say anything. He took out a few banknotes, put them back into his wallet along with the remaining coins and gave them back to him.
"Haixing stayed at your house last night."
"Yeah."
"It's a big step. It's not easy." She looked at him and said, and the content of her reference was very clear.
"Absolutely, in terms of results."
"What do you mean?"
"Haixing and I didn't do anything, but my mother put in a lot of effort."
"Really?" Morimi pushed up his glasses and sat down, "Ms. Song doesn't want to see you guys getting awkward anymore."
Naruse looked to the side but said nothing.
"All in all, this is a good thing."
She picked up the book and gave it to him, "We won't have another falling out, right?"
"Hope not."
Naruse took the book, but Morimi didn't let go, "Is one book enough?"
"With this thickness, I should be able to see it for a day - does Morimi have anything to recommend?"
She thought for a while and pointed to the nearest bookshelf. "Go and look for it over there."
Naruse was not in a hurry to go back. He turned around and got into the bookshelf. Morimi put the book on the counter.
"The results of the exam will not come out in four or five days," she said suddenly.
"What..."
Naruse poked his head out from between the bookshelves, "What about the results of the final exam? Anyway, I'm not in a hurry on the day of the graduation ceremony."
"Naruse doesn't care about the result."
"I care, but I don't particularly care."
He ducked back into the bookshelf, "The exam is over and the result is already determined. There's no point in caring."
"But I still care." Morimi said.
"I know."
Naruse did not show up, only the voice came over, "Isn't it just to talk about this matter that you asked me to stay and find a book?"
Morimi curled his lips but did not deny it.
"This exam is too easy, which makes people worried."
"Being worried means that you are not confident."
"..."
She was silent for a moment.
"Yes."
Naruse quickly poked his head out again, looked at her twice, but said nothing.
Morimi glared over, but there was no momentum.
"There are two places...if they are both wrong, it will be four points."
"Only four points, that's okay."
"But in terms of ranking, it may be the difference between the first grade and the eleventh grade... I have really been a little too relaxed during this period."
"We haven't confirmed the failure yet, so we started looking for the reason."
"Be prepared for the worst first, and you will feel better later."
"Then you will have to suffer mental torture during this period of time."
"..."
She glared over again, this time with a slightly more intense emotion.
Seeing her eyes scanning the book on the counter intentionally or unintentionally, Naruse immediately said: "If you tell me spoilers, I won't buy it."
Morimi sneered and slapped a hundred-yen coin on the table, "The recycling price is one hundred yen."
"..."
Naruse was a little helpless.
"Can you not use your pain to torture two people?"
"I feel that only people of Naruse's level can understand my pain."
"I don't have Morimi's pursuit, so I can't understand it."
Morimi looked at him for a while.
"Naruse is really weird."
"Just think of it as my personality."
"I can't understand."
"There is no need to understand."
She suddenly smiled, held her chin in one hand, and looked at him:
"Isn't this good? Aren't we the 'number one' couple in both grades?"
"..."
Naruse was startled, then rolled his eyes.
"You still remember this incident... you are right. It has only been two days. I almost forgot that this happened the day before the exam. The person who originally spread this rumor has not been found yet."
"Can you find it?"
"There's probably no hope."
"I think so."
After thinking for a moment, Naruse said: "Don't make such a joke in front of Naoko."
"I know." Morimi curled his lips, "It's not like I can't see it."
Naruse looked aside, "Well, after all, Morimi has the ability to read minds."
"This is the part that can be seen without the need for mind reading. The part of Naoko's concern for Naruse is better hidden by her breasts."
"...Don't say weird things."
Naruse glanced at her and turned back to the bookshelf.
After joking, the originally anxious mood suddenly relaxed a lot, and then felt a little inexplicable melancholy. Morimi didn't say anything more, picked up the book that already belonged to him, and flipped through it absently.<
/p>
After choosing for a while, Naruse took a collection of short stories over.
Drop——
"This semester will end in a few days, and the classes registered at the school are the same." Morimi said while paying the bill.
Naruse took out his wallet again and took out his change, "Morimi, do you want to continue to register for next semester?"
"Of course."
After she paid the bill, she lay down on the table, "Actually, I'm planning to sign up for a winter vacation class."
"Don't you take a break during the New Year?"
"Well... let's not rest."
"I seem a little hesitant."
"Yeah." She admitted without much concealment, "Because it's the Chinese New Year, I wanted to be lazy a little bit."
Naruse looked at her and said, "Come on."
She raised her eyes and looked directly at him, "Should you study harder or be lazy?"
He smiled and said, "Come on."
Morijian took a long breath and sat up straight.
"Let's take a look at the results of this exam first...be careful on the road."
