After staying in the bookstore for more than twenty minutes, Morimi took two question banks to check out, while the other three bought nothing.
The bus is almost arriving.
Several people rushed to the platform, waited for a while, and finally got on the bus back.
Arriving at Qingliu, several people, led by Morimi, knocked on the door of Takikawa's house.
Takigawa Hikaru came over to open the door and was a little stunned when he saw it was them.
"Are you back so soon?"
She looked at the bag Morimi was holding again.
"Did you bring it to me?"
"..."
Morimi raised an eyebrow, his expression unchanged, and handed the bag over.
Takigawa Hikaru happily took it, but soon his face fell.
"One leaf..."
Inside were two red books that she was very familiar with. On her sister's desk, there were countless books with the same packaging piled up.
Mori smiled and said, "Sister Yue, please be at home. We are here to cheer for Sister Yue."
"Come in."
Takigawa Hikaru returned the bag containing the question bank to her, "Yue is in the room."
When several people entered the door, Naruse asked: "Have you eaten yet?"
"Have eaten."
"Fortunately, I didn't bring you anything."
"..."
She glanced at him, took two steps back, followed him, and squeezed his shoulders.
"Tell me in advance next time."
Naruse wanted to say that today's four-person dinner party was not a plan in advance, but it would be troublesome to explain, so he agreed first.
"Hmm."
After saying hello to Mrs. Takigawa in the living room, the four of them followed Hikaru Takigawa upstairs.
"Yue, Chunhai and the others are here. We are coming in."
"Come in."
The door opened, and following the girls in front, Naruse was the last one to walk into Takigawa Yue's room.
If I remember correctly, this seems to be his first time coming in.
Takigawa Yue was two years older than them, and was relatively more mature at that time. We actually didn't have much time to play together. Compared with now, Takigawa Hikari was more attached to him at that time.
Therefore, he has been to Takigawa's house many times and has never disturbed "Sister Takigawa" in another room on the second floor.
At this time, Sister Takigawa, who was about to face one of the most important exams in her life, was sitting at the desk, smiling at them.
"Sister Yue, are you studying?"
"No, I just read some books and relax."
"Can you relax by reading guidance books?" Haixing muttered.
They said they came to cheer her on, but after a few people came, they just chatted with her.
"...Tomorrow morning, my father will drive me to the examination room, so I don't have to catch the bus."
"Would you like to go with me?"
"Of course."
"If you are not a candidate, you won't be able to enter the examination room." Morimi said.
Takigawa Hikaru nodded, "I'll wait outside."
The girls sat together, and Naruse stood aside and listened, speaking only when he was occasionally mentioned.
Until a certain moment, Song Qianqiu sent a message asking him what he was doing.
He thought for a while.
Naruse: Do you have time now?
Mom: I don’t have time and I won’t come to see Chunhai.
Mom: I just finished shooting and am ready to go back.
Mom: You and Shangzi should be eating out, right?
He replied a few words.
"Sister Yue."
After answering the video call from Matsu Chiaki, Naruse handed over the phone.
"My mom wants to talk to you."
"Eh...Eh——"
On the other side of the screen, Song Qianqiu was smiling and waving to several children.
"Hi~ everyone is here."
"Good evening, Miss Song..."
"Good evening, Satsuki. Harumi said you have an exam tomorrow, so work hard."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!"
Takigawa Yue raised her hands on her chest and stomped her feet happily.
"Miss Song's outfit...is she still at the filming location?"
"Well, we're almost ready to go back."
"This is the first time I see Miss Song at work!"
"This is also the first time I've seen Xiaoyue's cute appearance at home."
Matsu Qianqiu chatted with Takigawa Yue for a long time, and they didn't hang up the phone until everyone in the crew got in the car and were about to go back.
"Is Chunhai still there? I'll call you later."
"Got it."
Taking the mobile phone from Takigawa Yue, Naruse asked: "Do you want her to call Sister Yue before the exam tomorrow?"
Takigawa Yue was startled, then shook her head.
"Then I don't have the heart to think about it. I'm satisfied that I can talk to Miss Song so much."
"What are the subjects of tomorrow's exam?"
“In the morning it’s geography, history and citizenship, at noon it’s Chinese, and in the afternoon it’s foreign languages.”
The four of them stayed in Takigawa Yue's room for more than an hour. When they were about to leave, it was completely dark.
"Ah, it's snowing again." Takigawa Hikari looked at the sky, "Be careful when Kazuyo goes back."
Morijian had already walked out, "It's okay, Naruse said he wanted to send me off."
"..."
Naruse glanced at her.
Shangzi turned around and looked at him.
"I'm going to pick up a book."
"Hmm."
Takigawa Hikari nodded without thinking too much, "Be careful on the road."
After leaving Takigawa's house and reaching the intersection, Naoko took his schoolbag and went home first.
After sending Haixing home, only Naruse and Morimi were left walking forward side by side.
"You seem to be relieved." She said suddenly.
"I thought you would drag Haixing into it." Naruse didn't deny it, "I don't want to involve her anymore."
"Obviously what we want to talk about is her business?"
"The conversation between Haixing and I is over. She and I both hope so."
Morimi turned to look at him for a while, then looked forward.
"So, are you going to tell me now, or do you want to talk slowly over a cup of hot tea when you get to my house?"
"Actually, I don't want to say it at all."
"Then you can send me back."
"Am I going to send you back?"
"You didn't refuse."
Naruse took a breath, not wanting to waste more time on this meaningless argument.
"Let's talk about it at my house."
Seeing that he didn't speak, Morijian looked at the street lamp in front of him again, "I also have something else to ask you."
"What happened?"
"I mean I haven't thought about it yet."
Naruse glanced at her, "Naoko is still waiting for me to come home."
"It won't take too long - it's only around seven o'clock now."
Ten minutes later, the two arrived at Morimi's house.
After following her in, Naruse sat down in the living room. She put down her things and went to boil hot water.
He got up and went to the kitchen, "What do you want to ask Morimi?"
She looked back and said, "Are you so anxious to tell me?"
"I'm not here to drink tea, and I've told you everything I can tell you."
Sen Jian's whole body turned around.
"You never told me that you and Haixing had started a relationship."
Naruse was silent for a while.
"That's not the beginning."
She sneered, "Isn't even kissing the beginning?"
"The last time I kissed Haixing, I was still living in her house."
"..."
The silent person becomes Morimi.
After a while, she raised her hands to cover her face and took a deep breath.
"I said that I haven't noticed it at all in the past six months...it happened at that time."
"So..."
"——Don't talk to me, you pervert, lolicon, animal in heat full of obscene thoughts."
"..."
Naruse looked at the kitchen ceiling.
"Then I'll go back first."
"Stop."
Morimi put down the hand covering his face, stared at him for a while, then turned to look at the kettle on the stove.
"The water is almost boiling."
The ironware that is gradually heating up is making a loud noise.
"At least tell me the actual situation between you and Haixing at that time, and then you can go back."
