Hotel restaurant, with wind and snow blowing outside the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Dinner is more sumptuous than lunch.
Eating warm food and slowly filling his stomach, Naruse felt that the pain in his body had subsided a lot.
Finally, after taking a sip of hot soup, he sat back and leaned back as a habit. As soon as his back touched the chair, he straightened up again.
"Hiss——"
"Be careful." Tanaka Koji, who was sitting nearby, reminded.
Naruse nodded slowly and leaned closer again.
After the soreness dissipated and his body relaxed again, he glanced at the dining table where Naoko was sitting in the girls' area.
She was holding the soup bowl and drinking with her head down.
And Hikaru Takigawa, who had just put down his chopsticks, leaned back on his chair as unprepared as he did, and then his face became distorted and his teeth grimaced.
"..."
Naruse couldn't help but smile, but she also looked over.
The two looked at each other and smiled again.
When I returned to the room after dinner, everyone’s bedding had been laid out.
The boys were sitting together chatting. When it was almost seven o'clock, the chairman of Class C came over and reminded them that it was their turn to use the bathroom and they should hurry up.
"Can't you just soak in it for a while longer?"
"If Class D has no objections."
"Go and discuss it with the people in Class D."
"Okay, stop talking nonsense and go quickly." After the chairman informed them, they went to the next boys' room.
Naruse had been looking forward to taking a bath for a long time. He took a towel and a change of clothes and urged him.
Going downstairs to the lobby, the girls from Class C also came down the stairs from the other side.
Naoko came over and said hello to Naruse, Hikaru Takigawa waved to him, and the two soon walked into the women's bathroom with other girls.
"For a moment, I thought this flower came to take a bath with Naruse..."
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Walking into the men's bathroom, taking off his clothes, washing his hair and body, Naruse was rinsing the foam off his body when he suddenly found Kamoi Ryohei next to him staring at him.
"There are several bruises on Harumi's back...one is particularly obvious."
"They were all knocked out when I fell."
And the most obvious one is the tree trunk that blocked him.
"Harumi also has a great figure..."
"Stop it."
After rinsing his body, Naruse went to the outdoor hot spring pool and sat down slowly.
"Well..."
The hot flow wraps up, making every part of the body moan with comfort, which is irresistible.
"So comfortable."
He slid down again.
The other boys in Class C also came out of the bathroom and sat in the hot spring.
"After a day of skiing, it is really comfortable to soak in the hot spring..."
While chatting, someone asked: "Naruse, are you going to a high-end venue tomorrow?"
"Go ahead, if you can ski normally tomorrow." Naruse said, moving his arms a little, not sure what the situation will be like when he gets up tomorrow.
"This flower will definitely be worried." Someone else said.
Another boy added: "Just don't tell her."
"Speaking of which, why do everyone in Class E say that Morimi Kazuha is Naruse's girlfriend?"
"During the final exam last year, this statement seemed to spread quite fiercely... No one in Class E would know how good this flower is, right?"
The boy who spoke raised his eyebrows at Naruse.
He just smiled.
After soaking for a while, a male teacher came in to remind him that the time was coming, so he quickly went out and asked the boys in the next class to continue washing.
"How many minutes has it been?"
"There are still seven classes waiting, come out quickly."
Reluctantly, the boys put on their clothes and went out, but when passing by the hotel lobby, they inevitably had to complain to the teacher who was staying there.
"Okay, okay... everyone is waiting, the teacher hasn't washed it yet."
When they returned to the room, the boys quickly forgot about their unhappiness and took out the things they had brought and shared them with each other.
"Here, the comic you want."
"Thank you...that's not it."
""The Lion in March" is very interesting."
"I didn't mean that...I meant that."
"What...you want something 'high-end'?"
"Uh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh."
"What time is it now? The teacher will have to check the ward later, so we'll talk about it later."
Someone looked at Naruse and he was already lying down.
"Naruse, why don't you do something? It's only past seven o'clock, and the night is very long. Do you want to play my Switch?"
He shook his head and declined.
"I just soaked for a while and I feel much better. Now I just want to soak for half an hour more... I can pay for it."
"I'm afraid it's not possible now." Tanaka Koji shook his head, "But after everyone has finished taking a bath, maybe we can go soak for a while."
"What time is it?" Xiao Linzheng said.
He shrugged, "That's what I said."
Naruse suddenly sat up.
"It hurts... maybe it's okay, I'll ask."
"Eh?"
He opened the door and went out.
When he came to the hall downstairs, he found Nakahara Yuki. Naruse used the excuse of body aches and proposed to wait for the students in other classes to take a bath in the evening before letting himself soak for a while.
"Well, let me ask the grade director and the people at the hotel...Takikawa-san?"
Naruse turned around, Takigawa Hikaru's eyes lit up, he quickened his pace and walked over, "Harumi."
"Have you washed it?"
"Hmm. Ah, Xiaoxue, I have something to discuss with you. Didn't I fall? My whole body is sore. I just soaked in the hot spring for a while and I feel much better, so I think..." p>
Naruse listened and quickly smiled.
She also had the same plan.
Zhongyuan Xue looked at the two of them, asked them to wait for a while, and then went to find the grade director.
Hikaru Takigawa sat down on the sofa in the lobby. Naruse looked at the vending machine next to him and bought two bottles of juice.
"Thank you." She took the juice and smiled.
"Has Shangzi gone up?"
"Yeah."
Zhongyuan Xue quickly returned here and told the two of them the result.
"No problem. After the last class is washed, you can go in and soak for a while."
She paused and then said: "But you can't soak for too long, the hotel people are waiting to clean it."
"Twenty...twenty-five minutes at most." Naruse said.
Takigawa Hikari nodded repeatedly.
"Then you can come down when the time is almost up."
So the two of them went upstairs contentedly.
Back in the room, Hikaru Takigawa sat next to Naoko, who was wiping her hair.
"Xiaoxue agreed."
She smiled and said, "That's great."
"That's what Harumi planned too."
"..."
Naoko paused for a moment, then nodded, "Every time Chunhai takes a bath, he takes a long soak, and today he definitely wasn't satisfied with it."
"Yeah."
While the two were chatting, girls from other rooms and even other classes came to visit from time to time, and they were basically here for Hikari Takigawa.
When she heard the girls in the last class say that they had finished washing, she took another towel and went downstairs to soak in the hot spring.
"Ah, by the way, there's also Chunhai..."
Naruse lay on his side on his quilt, holding his head up, flipping through comics, and squinting at the boys who were sneaking around next to him.
"Spring Sea——"
The door suddenly opened, and several people dispersed in a hurry. Xiao Lin was sitting on the discarded book, trying his best to hide it. He was relieved when he found that the person who opened the door was not a teacher.
"What the hell...it turns out to be Takigawa..."
Takigawa Hikaru smiled at a few people, and then looked at Naruse, who was leaning forward.
"Haruhai, it's time to go to the hot springs. Let's go together."
