Naruse opened the car door, and the assistant helped the staggering Matsu Qianqiu to the back seat. Naoko and Haixing followed her into the car, looking after her from left to right.
"Master, please get in the car too."
"Um."
Sitting in the front passenger seat, Naruse put on his seat belt and looked back at the drunk Matsu Chiaki.
"It's okay, I will take good care of Auntie." Shangzi reassured him, and Haixing nodded to him.
Naruse responded and looked at him for a few more times before turning back.
Ms. Sato was accustomed to this, so she skillfully reversed the car, drove out of the underground parking lot, and rushed to her home in Shibuya.
"It all smells like alcohol..."
The strong smell of alcohol soon spread in the car, and Naruse and Haixing each opened the car windows.
"Finally all the filming is over. Miss Matsu is really happy today, otherwise she wouldn't drink so much." Miss Sato said.
Looking at Matsu Qianqiu with his eyes closed, Naoko asked forward: "The shooting is over, I should be able to rest for a while."
"'A period of time'? I can only rest for a few days at most."
The assistant lady glanced at her in the rearview mirror, shrugged and said.
"There are a lot of things to be busy with next. As a starring role, Miss Song has to participate in basically all promotional activities."
"Really..." Shangzi breathed a sigh of relief for no reason.
"I heard that there will be a special episode and a movie coming next?" Haixing asked.
"Yeah, so I won't have much rest time this year."
Stopping at the intersection with a red light, Miss Sato turned back and looked at Haixing:
"Is Ms. Haixing now interested in the artist's job?"
"Eh, no."
"What a pity. Oh, by the way, Miss Haixing seemed to have been chatting a lot with Miss Sakai during the meal."
"Well... I have a few things I want to know."
"The light is green." Naruse reminded.
Ms. Sato turned around and continued driving.
It was already past the evening rush hour, and there were not many cars on the road. About twenty minutes later, a few people returned to Yoyogi's apartment.
When they arrived at the parking lot, Naruse got out of the car first, followed by Naoko and Haixing, and helped Matsu Qianqiu out of the back seat.
The assistant lady held hands on the other side and said, "Miss Song, we are home."
"..."
Song Qianqiu opened his eyes, looked at them, nodded, and closed his eyes again.
"Go up."
She helped Song Qianqiu back upstairs. As soon as she entered the door, she whispered something to her assistant.
"What's wrong?" Naruse asked.
"fine……"
Miss Sato supported Matsu Chiaki.
"Leave it to me next time...ah, you can't vomit here!"
She quickly helped her to the bathroom.
"Miss Song, wait a moment..."
Listening to the various sounds inside, Shangzi immediately went in to help.
Starfish followed him in and came out again after a while.
With the two of them here, she couldn't find a place to intervene.
Naruse was also unable to help. He stood at the door for a while and asked Haixing to take a bath first.
"oh……"
After a while, Matsu Chiaki finally almost vomited. Miss Sato was about to help her up, and Naruse went in to help her.
He helped Song Qianqiu back to the room and put her on the bed to lie down. The assistant lady waited on her for a while.
Monk Naruse did not leave either.
"Well……"
Song Qianqiu turned over and opened his eyes slightly.
"Miss Matsu, would you like some water?" Miss Sato leaned closer and asked.
She looked at her and opened her mouth.
"Wow..."
"Ahhhh——"
The three of them were in a hurry again.
After the last vomiting, Song Qianqiu completely settled down, but the bed was already a mess.
Although I tidied up urgently, at least no one will be able to sleep tonight.
Open the doors and windows for ventilation and send Matsu Chiaki back to the original room, which is the master bedroom. Miss Sato plans to sleep in the living room at night.
"Ms. Sato, do you want to sleep on the sofa?" Naruse asked.
"Yes, otherwise there will be no place to sleep... Can I sleep in the young master's room?"
"No." Shangzi said immediately.
Naruse glanced at her, thought about it, and said, "It's not impossible."
"..."
Naoko and Miss Sato both looked over.
"What I mean is that Miss Sato is sleeping in my room, and I'm going to sleep on the sofa."
The assistant lady shook her head.
"Let the boss's son sleep on the sofa and I sleep in the room. The first thing Miss Song will probably do when she wakes up tomorrow is call the office to deduct my salary."
Naruse smiled.
"Not only Miss Sato, but also Naoko and Haixing also sleep in my room. My mother smells so drunk that she probably won't be too peaceful at night, so I'd better let her sleep alone."
"Well……"
Miss Sato was still hesitating, so Naoko said: "I'll sleep on the sofa with Harumi. Anyway, we can sleep there. Miss Sato and Haixing won't sleep too tightly."
"Is it Miss Naoko's turn today?"
Shangzi was startled, "Eh..."
"——What is that!"
Naruse quickly said, "That's it, Naoko sleeps with me."
sleep together……
"Yeah." Shangzi nodded and smiled.
After discussing how to deal with the night, Miss Sato went back to her room to clean and tidy up.
Naoko and Naruse came to the living room and divided their respective areas on the sofa.
"Chunhai sleeps here, I can sleep here."
"How do I need such a big place?"
"I don't need it either. I won't move around when I'm asleep."
"Let's talk about it when we go to bed."
A few minutes later, Haixing came out of the shower and saw Shangzi holding a pillow and putting it on the sofa, and asked casually.
"Chunhai and I will sleep here at night." Shangzi said with a smile.
"..."
Haixing was stunned for a few seconds and looked at Naruse.
He didn't look at her.
"My mother vomited on the bed and can't sleep. Haixing and Miss Sato should sleep in my room."
After a while, she answered.
"……oh."
Afterwards, Miss Sato and Naoko also went to wash up, and Naruse was the last one to enter the bathroom as usual.
"..."
Sitting in the bathtub, he let out a long breath.
After all the fuss, it was already past eleven o'clock in the middle of the night.
During the past few days in Tokyo, I really didn’t have a day to spare.
"It seems that in two days, it will be time to go back to the countryside..."
Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow is the day when the new semester of Prefectural Jin High School starts.
They would have to go back the day after tomorrow at the latest.
"Time flies so fast..."
Wow——
Naruse splashed water on his face and patted it again.
After soaking for almost half an hour, he still didn't fall asleep.
Coming out of the bathroom, Naoko and Haixing were sitting on the sofa. Miss Sato had already gone to his room to lie down.
Naruse sat down and wiped his hair.
"We'll go back the day after tomorrow."
The two of them were stunned for a while, then slowly nodded.
"good……"
Haixing originally wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the sudden surge of sadness, and fell silent.
Shangzi leaned on the sofa, hugging his knees and stroking the insteps of his feet.
"It turns out that we have been in Tokyo for so many days... time flies so fast."
"Spring break is inherently short."
"Yes... It would be nice if I came here earlier. I could spend a few more days with my aunt."
"Even if she came here earlier, she would have to finish her work today."
"But even if it's just company after returning home, it's better than nothing."
Naruse took a slow breath and wiped his head with the towel a few times, "Yeah."
"I'm going to check on auntie." Shangzi got up and walked into the master bedroom.
There were only two people left in the living room.
Haixing looked at Naruse, hesitated for a while, and then said:
"Do I have to go back the day after tomorrow?"
"The day after tomorrow is the opening ceremony." Naruse looked back at her, "Don't you want to go back?"
Starfish shook his head.
"I'm wondering...whether I should continue to go to school."
"..."
Naruse was stunned for a few seconds.
"What's wrong?"
Why don't you want to go to school all of a sudden?
Haixing was silent for a while, but before he could speak, Shangzi walked out of the room.
"Auntie is already asleep...it seems there will be no problem."
"Thanks for your hard work."
"No." She smiled slightly and sat next to him.
Haixing swallowed the words that came to his mouth again, and chose to turn a blind eye to Naruse's gaze again.
"I'm going to bed." She got up and went to his room.
"Good night."
"Good night, Starfish."
After saying good night to the two of them, Haixing glanced at Naruse one last time and closed the door.
Miss Sato lay on the bed and looked over.
"Sorry, it's me who sleeps with Miss Haixing tonight, not the young master."
"..."
Haixing blushed, "What are you talking about?"
Miss Sato smiled slightly and didn't say much, just patted the place next to her.
"Is Ms. Sato going to bed?"
"It's almost done, I might fall asleep at any time."
Starfish didn't delay, turned off the light and went to bed.
Looking at the ceiling in the darkness, she slowly exhaled.
"——Can't you sleep?"
