Arriving at the counter, Naruse put down the books he had been selecting for a long time and said to her.
She glanced at him, picked up the book and scanned it.
drop--
"Four hundred and eighty yen. Are you shocked?"
"Roughly the same."
"Need a bag?"
Naruse gave the money and shook his head.
"Then what?"
"Then she went on to deliver wine, and I came over to buy books."
"Really?" Mori saw Kazuyo hand over the book and change and looked outside the bookstore, "It seems that today is a working day."
"Working day?"
"Since Naruse has seen Haixing, he should be able to guess who she is hanging out with now. The spiritual world of hot girls is quite lacking, and they can only fill their emptiness through constant consumption. This is even the reason why they can maintain their current status.
The primary means of relationship.”
"It's really hit the nail on the head." Naruse smiled.
She pushed up her glasses and continued: "Consumption requires money. When you don't have money, you have to work."
"Does part-time work mean helping in your own store?"
"As far as I know, this is the main way starfish get pocket money."
Naruse looked at her and said, "Haixing probably doesn't even know that Morimi knows her so well."
Seeing that Kazuye didn't speak, Mori sat back at the counter after paying the bill, picked up the book and continued reading.
Naruse didn't intend to stay any longer, so he picked up the book and prepared to go back.
"Naruse." She spoke again.
He turned his head and said, "Can't you finish it all at once?"
"Have you reconciled with Haixing?"
"..."
Naruse also turned around.
He thought for a while and said, "It will be reconciled. At least there is no problem on my side."
Seeing his thoughts move, Sen raised his eyes and asked, "What else happened just now?"
"She hit me while riding her bike."
"ah?"
After hearing the story of the "car accident" just now, Morimi was silent for a while before speaking: "She is so wary of Naruse, what have you done to her before?"
This time it was Naruse's turn to be silent.
"Beat her?" she asked next.
"The beatings I received were no less than hers."
He defended, and did not deny that he had done anything, "It's just like a normal brother and sister get along...probably."
"Under normal circumstances, would a brother hit his sister?"
"I'll fight back."
"No wonder Naruse often had injuries on his face after moving into Maki's house..."
It involved the past and the private affairs of the two families. Sen saw this and did not ask any more questions.
"Feel sorry."
Naruse shook his head and said he didn't care, "It's all in the past."
She looked at him and said, "If Naruse really wants to reconcile with Haixing, I might be able to do something for you."
Naruse looked at her with some surprise, and quickly said: "No, you'd better not do anything... I mean, with Haixing's wariness towards me now, maybe he will regard Morimi as my accomplice.
'."
Morimi glanced at him and felt that his explanation was more like a cover-up.
"Since I want to stay here, there will always be opportunities in the future." Naruse said, remembering another thing, "What's more, we are still in the same school."
She nodded slowly, probably accepting his statement, and then asked again: "Has Naruse's class been decided?"
"Well, I'm in the same class as Shangzi."
"Really? What a pity."
He picked up the newly bought book and left. On the way back, Naruse always paid attention to the front and back of the county road. However, he did not bump into a starfish again until he turned into the intersection heading home.
Back home, Song Qianqiu was packing his luggage.
She didn't bring much back, and she had even less to take away, which were all personal items.
Naruse hesitated for a moment, then told her about his previous encounter with Haixing.
Song Qianqiu paused, and the expression on his face changed, as if he was stuck in some memory of the past.
After a while, she lowered her head and continued to clean up, and asked: "How is that child doing now?"
"Becoming a hot girl."
"...Hot girl?"
"The most common kind of hot girl with yellow hair." Naruse said.
"That's called blond hair."
Song Qianqiu glanced at his son and understood that he was deeply prejudiced against such people because of some things in the past.
"Speaking of which, I haven't seen Haixing in several years. Didn't Harumi invite her over to sit down?"
"It's surprising that she agreed."
"Did you quarrel again?"
"No." Naruse took the book and started to go upstairs.
"etc."
Song Qianqiu stopped him, thought about it again, and said:
"Mom is going to Tokyo tomorrow. I hope it will be lively tonight - call all Harumi's friends and have a small party at our house~"
"..."
Naruse looked back at her for a moment, "Why?"
"I just hope it will be more lively." Song Qianqiu said with a smile, "Just think of it as a farewell party."
"It's already one or two o'clock in the afternoon. If there is a party tonight, there will definitely be no time to prepare."
"What to prepare?"
"There's something to eat and drink. If you're going to have a party, you can't have nothing." Naruse said, "Naoko won't be back until evening. I can't prepare much by myself."
"Then order takeout."
Song Qianqiu took out his wallet and said, "If you need anything, just have it delivered to you."
"...Okay." After seeing the feasibility of this matter, Naruse had no further opinions, "I will contact them."
"Don't forget to invite Starfish."
"She won't come."
Song Qianqiu shook his head, "I'll invite you first. How will you know if you don't try?"
Naruse didn't say much, turned around and went upstairs.
When he returned to his room, the first person he contacted was naturally Shangzi, who was still helping at school.
Whether it was the news that Matsu Qianqiu was leaving tomorrow or her sudden desire to hold a party at home, Naoko was very surprised, but she quickly agreed and said she would go home early today.
Buzz——
Harumi: I don’t have a light line, Shangzi help me tell her too.
Chunhai: Also, let Sister Yue come too.
"..."
After looking at the other members in the club, Naoko lowered her head, first replied to Naruse, and then sent a message to Takigawa Hikaru.
Hikaru Takigawa was probably training, and it took almost twenty minutes before he sent an OK reply.
Light: Yue is resting at home today. Naoko will go back with me later.
Naoka Naoko: Okay.
After putting away her cell phone and working for a while, Shangzi stood up and walked to the minister, telling her in a low voice that she was going back early.
"No problem, you have worked hard today. Just be careful on the way back."
"Okay, Minister."
The moment she looked up, Shangzi saw the two second-year seniors sitting opposite her looking away from her face and looking at each other again.
"You can't be lazy, Chika."
"What are you talking about? I've obviously done more than you."
"Whoever is lazy knows better."
The two raised their arms, bumped into each other, and squeezed each other, as if they were playing.
Shangzi lowered his eyes, pretending he didn't hear anything, and returned to his seat to start tidying up.
After leaving the department room, she went straight to the gymnasium, where the women's basketball team's afternoon training had not yet ended.
Nodding to Hikaru Takigawa who was looking over, she found a place to sit at the door and looked up at the sky.
Under the same sky, after ordering takeout, Naruse went out again and went to the bookstore to invite Kazuyo Morimi, who also had no contact information.
"Party?"
"Um."
He briefly explained Matsu Qianqiu's plan.
"Okay." Morimi agreed after thinking about it for a moment, "Ms. Song also took good care of me in the past. I should come and say hello."
As long as she agrees, Naruse doesn't care about the reason.
"So……"
She glanced outside the bookstore and said, "Over there at Haixing, has Naruse invited you?"
