After flipping the beef and beef tongue on the grill, putting down the tongs, Naruse raised his eyes again and looked at the clerk who was walking towards him with the tray.
It was the cold noodles he ordered.
"Morioka cold noodles, please use them with caution."
The cold noodles were placed on the table, along with a small plate of sauce.
"Eat cold noodles this season..."
Morimi looked at the cold soup and cold noodles in his bowl and didn't say anything further. She just asked him to give her the tongs for the barbecue.
"I ordered it because I felt it would heat up the food." Naruse said, "The slices on the left are almost cooked."
Morimi turned it over a few more times, picked up two pieces for the starfish, and picked up another piece for himself, not his share.
Beef is also added to the cold noodles, which is rich in ingredients, as well as half a duck egg, and the soup is also very fresh and thick.
Naruse tasted the soup base and felt it was a little bland, so he added some sauce to it and mixed it again.
Then pick up the translucent noodles and put them into your mouth. They are cold, chewy and smooth.
"It is said that the noodles of Morioka cold noodles are different from other cold noodles. They are made of potato starch." Morimi said.
"Well, it tastes pretty good."
Naruse took a mouthful of noodles and said, "I understand the reason why cold noodles are provided here: I have eaten too much barbecue, and eating this can relieve my tiredness."
"Is that so?"
"Well, you can also order one to try."
"I can't eat that much." She stretched out her hands towards him.
"..."
Naruse looked at her, and Haixing also looked over.
"I mean let me have a taste." Morimi squinted her eyes. She had already taken off her glasses just now.
Naruse brought the cold noodles to her.
Ziliu——
She picked up some cold noodles and sucked it into her mouth.
"Hmm... the noodles feel a little hard, but that's how cold noodles are... Do you want to try Haixing?"
"...is that okay?" Haixing looked at him.
What else could Naruse say, "Eat."
She also took a bite.
"It's very refreshing." Haixing licked his lips and said.
Naruse took back his bowl of noodles and asked, "Would you like a bowl?"
She looked at the slices of meat on the grill, with obvious hesitation on her face.
Cold noodles are not air. If you eat too much, you will not be able to eat barbecue.
"Can I have half a portion?" she asked after thinking for a while.
"I'll go ask." Naruse looked at Morimi again, "What about you."
"I'll just eat yours."
"..."
"I'm kidding." She smiled and then said: "If you can have half a portion, then let's have half a portion."
Naruse got up and went to the bar to ask, and he would be back soon.
"You can ask for a half portion, or even a quarter portion."
"Isn't a quarter too little...how much is it?"
He sat down, picked at his bowl, picked up a small ball of dough, "About this much."
"Then it'll be a quarter."
The clerk who came over nodded to show understanding.
Naruse picked up a piece of freshly roasted beef and put it into his mouth. He took another bite of cold noodles and exhaled slightly, feeling very satisfied.
"Cheers." Morimi raised his glass again.
The three of them clinked glasses, and he had almost finished drinking his juice.
"Would you like a beer?" Morimi said.
Naruse looked at the wine glass that she had already drank most of and said, "No need."
After a while, a quarter of the cold noodles for the two of them was served.
Naruse continued to grill meat, and there was not much beef and beef tongue left on the plate.
"How about that? Would you like to order another beef or beef tongue?"
"With this small bowl of cold noodles, I think it's almost done... Let's talk about it after eating," Morimi said.
Haixing moved closer to her and stretched out his chopsticks to pick up the meat on the edge of the grill.
She sniffed and moved closer.
"The smell of barbecue is all in Starfish's hair... I have to take a shower again when I go back."
"Ah..."
After eating for more than half an hour, the late-night snack was over.
Naruse wiped his mouth, Morimi and Haixing leaned on their seats, raising their heads slightly.
"It's so supportive..."
He looked at the time and saw that in ten minutes it would be midnight.
"Would you like to rest for a while before going back?"
Morimi nodded first, then shook his head, "No, let's walk back slowly."
"Alright."
She helped Haixing up, and Naruse went to pay the bill. When she walked out of the yakiniku restaurant, the outside was even deserted than when she came here.
"Go this way."
"I still know this way."
Naruse looked back at the two of them, "Then you should hurry up."
"I ate too much and can't walk anymore."
The two of them slowly followed.
"How much?" Morimi asked, Haixing also looked at him.
"Forget it." Naruse shook his head, "I'm treating you."
"Really, then I'm not welcome."
Starfish was overjoyed at first, and then his expression became a little complicated.
"Thank you..."
The three of them continued walking back.
"Do you want to go shopping tomorrow?" Morimi suddenly asked.
Haixing was startled for a moment, "Didn't I say tonight that I would go shopping at eight o'clock before going back?"
"Well, let's go shopping." She seemed a little uninterested.
Naruse looked at them and said, "I don't mind going back early tomorrow."
Morimi looked over immediately, "I said I wanted to go shopping."
"Don't force yourself..."
"I want to go shopping, I want to go shopping!"
"...It's up to you."
Naruse turned around, and when he turned his head again, his eyes focused on Morimi's face.
"Why do you feel like you've broken a jar?"
"Yeah."
She did not deny it.
"When I went out for a late-night snack, I decided to treat it as a 'fall' these past two days."
Naruse laughed.
"What are you laughing at?"
"Nothing, I just think this is a good idea."
"This is what starfish inspires me."
"Huh?" Haixing looked over.
"'Everyone has come'..." Morimi smiled at her, "That's what Haixing said."
Starfish opened his mouth.
What she said probably didn't mean the same thing as what she understood...
Morimi smiled again.
"Don't care."
Naruse looked at her: "So during the two days after the 'fall', there are no taboos. Can you even drink?"
"It was an impulse...but it's more like it."
Mori Jian said and looked over:
"Naruse has actually been drinking in a bar a long time ago? When you were drinking just now, you looked very skilled."
"Don't talk nonsense, you haven't reached the level of proficiency yet."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"That's because I drank it."
"Yeah."
"Just 'eh'?"
"...Well, I was hanging out with some 'friends' when I was in middle school. They asked me to drink, but I couldn't refuse."
"Is it the failure to refuse or the failure to refuse?"
"Are you a police officer?"
"This is of great significance to my research on 'What kind of person is Naruse Harumi?'"
"You seem drunk."
"Ah, I really started to escape."
The two of them were talking to each other, and Haixing basically had no chance to interrupt, so he could only watch from the side.
Kazuha doesn't talk much, but when you're with him, he talks more;
When you are alone with him—if you ignore her presence—you will talk a lot.
Is this the resonance between top students...
She only wants to think this way.
After walking for another five or six minutes, the three finally returned to the hotel building.
"Come up." Morimi raised his head and looked at the tall buildings in front of him.
Naruse looked back at her and said, "What if."
She looked left and right at the deserted streets.
"Go up."
Enter the elevator, press the button on the 21st floor, and the elevator rises rapidly.
"They should all have fallen asleep..." Haixing said.
"Yeah."
Naruse nodded. In addition to the floor, the elevator panel also displayed the time, "It's past midnight."
"Remember to keep your voice down when closing the door." Morimi said suddenly, "I told Naoko that I wanted to go out for supper, but I didn't tell you that you were going to come too."
"..."
"After all, you didn't plan to go at the beginning... Isn't this a lie?"
Naruse was silent for a moment.
"Yeah."
Ding——
The elevator reaches the twenty-first floor.
After walking out of the elevator, Naruse's room was closer. He stopped to open the door, and Morimi and Haisei also slowed down.
Glancing at the door of the next room, she looked at him again and whispered softly: "Good night."
He didn't look at them.
"Good night."
Pat--
The sound of the door closing echoed in the corridor, not too softly.
"..."
Morimi looked back, said nothing, and took Haixing back to the room.
"Starfish, let's go wash it first."
"Okay... I won't take a bath, I'll be fine soon."
"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry."
Not only was he tired, but he also smelled of barbecue. Morimi did not lie down on the bed, but sat down in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.
The city gradually fell into a dream, quiet and peaceful, but the lights were still bright, like a plucked section of the Milky Way.
At this moment, she likes the feeling of hiding in the distance and looking out.
It would be better if you could turn off the lights.
"Good night, Sendai."
Two o'clock in the morning.
Buzz——
Kazuha: It was really fun to drink together today. Let’s go together next time, Naruse Harumi-san.
Naruse: You are drunk. I drank juice, and the only one who drank was you, Kazuha Morimi.
Yiye:[Indifference]
Naruse: Don’t try to keep evidence to drag me down.
