Waking up from the bed again, Morimi, as usual, felt the coldness that could not be covered by the quilt.
Feeling cold instead of hot meant that at least her body temperature had returned to normal and she no longer had a fever, she thought to herself.
It's bright outside the window, but the alarm clock hasn't gone off yet.
It was probably still early, so she tightened the quilt tightly to retain the warmth.
On the bedside are some condolences brought by friends when they came to visit yesterday, and most of them were divided among themselves.
The room upstairs has never been so lively, and Hikaru Takigawa and others stayed with her for a long time.
Shangzi noticed her hunger and went to cook a big bowl of porridge for her.
There were some prunes and other things in it, which made her feel very delicious even though she had no appetite, and she ate a lot.
They didn't say goodbye until she showed signs of fatigue.
Lying there in a daze for a while, thinking about what happened yesterday, Morimi turned around and looked at the alarm clock that still hadn't gone off, feeling a little strange in his heart.
Even if she woke up early, the alarm clock wouldn't go off for so long. It looked very bright outside the window.
"Well..."
She stretched out her arm from the warm quilt, touched the alarm clock, took a closer look, and sat up immediately.
"...Mom!"
The alarm time was set back by more than half an hour!
Morimi was helpless. Although there were many people in the room yesterday, the only one who would do this was Chie Morimi.
Although she is not late, she is used to arriving at school earlier, so now she can only take the later bus.
Set the alarm back to the usual time, Morimi gets dressed and gets up.
When I came downstairs, my mother, who stayed here last night, had already prepared breakfast.
She did not deny the fact that she adjusted the alarm clock, but just let her daughter rest for a while.
"The fever has gone away, no problem."
"It's because Yiye didn't get enough rest that he suddenly fell ill."
Morimi couldn't confess the real reason why he fell ill the day before yesterday, so he could only listen silently.
"My face seems to have turned red, maybe I have a fever again."
"...No."
After breakfast, Morimi Chie reminded me again.
"I made a lunch box, don't forget to take it with you when you go out."
"I know."
She doesn't prepare lunches at home because it takes a lot of time. She usually relies on convenience stores or school canteens for lunch.
After leaving the house, because I had to wait for the next bus anyway, the originally tense time in the morning suddenly became abundant.
She did not take the path along the river, but walked along the county road and passed by her bookstore.
"Yiye? How is your health?"
"It's okay."
Mori Jianshu touched his daughter's forehead and felt the temperature before feeling relieved.
"I went to school."
"Be careful on the road."
After leaving the bookstore, Morimi glanced at the window on the second floor of the Maki Hotel. When passing by the intersection of Naruse's house, he also looked inside.
By this time, they should all have gone to school...
She thought like this, and when she came to the bus stop, she saw Naruse.
Even Naruse is still alone.
When he saw her, he also showed an unexpected expression.
"Morimi...I thought you wouldn't go to school today."
"I just woke up late."
Because it was a later train, there were many more people on the platform than usual. Morimi squeezed in and stood next to him, "Where is Naoko."
"Going to school."
Naruse picked up the bag in his hand, "When the bus stopped just now, I remembered that I didn't bring my sportswear. There is a physical education class today. I asked Naoko to get on the bus first."
Morimi looked down for a few times.
"Are Naoko's sportswear also in there?"
"Yeah."
"Abnormal."
"What are you talking about?"
Naruse changed his hand to carry the bag.
"How is Morimi's health?"
"Still alive."
"I see it."
"The fever went away yesterday." She looked at him, "When Naruse didn't come to visit me."
"Didn't Shangzi go? She is my representative for visiting patients."
"Shangzi didn't say that."
"As long as you understand it."
Morimi snorted lightly.
The two continued to wait for the bus. After a while, before the bus arrived, a motorcycle rode over first with people on the back seat.
There were a lot of people crowding around the platform, and Hikaru Takigawa immediately saw Naruse and Morimi wearing Tsuga uniforms.
"It's so strange."
She pulled over and looked at Naruse, who was not with Naoko, and then at Morimi, who had just gone out at this time.
"It's so strange."
The two of them laughed and said hello to Yue Takikawa, who seemed to be awake in the back seat.
"Where is Shangzi?"
"Go to school first."
"How is Kazuha's health?" Hikari Takigawa asked again.
"It has been fully recovered, thank you."
She looked at her, "Where is it mentally?"
Morimi was startled, "It's probably no problem."
"Really?"
Takigawa Hikaru smiled and said, "When I went to visit the doctor yesterday, Kazuha occasionally showed a lonely expression. I was a little concerned about it."
"..."
Morimi was startled again, then glanced sideways at Naruse, who was coming over, and said to Takigawa Hikari: "That's just because I'm not feeling well."
"Really? If anything happens, Kazuyo can discuss it with me."
"Yes." A smile bloomed on her face, "Thank you."
Hikaru Takigawa stopped for a short while, chatted for a while, then turned the accelerator and took his sister to school.
"What are you thinking about?" Morimi asked, seeing Naruse staring in the direction of the motorcycle leaving.
"I'm thinking that if I also commute by motorcycle, I can get a lot more sleep in the morning."
"Naruse can also take a later flight like today."
"There are too many people."
Naruse curled his lips, "It's just because I didn't want to be crowded or even get a seat, so I took the early train."
With his hands behind his back, Morijian raised his head slightly and looked at the sky.
"I feel like I'm a little more relaxed this morning."
Naruse glanced at her and suddenly felt that she was a little different from usual - the tense feeling that seemed to be absent in the past had disappeared.
"Is it because of what Guang said just now?"
"Maybe."
She paused, maybe because of the good mood at the moment, or maybe because the two had been frank with each other for a short time, and she wanted to continue it.
"Just paying attention to me makes me feel happy."
Naruse looked at her and was about to say something when Morimi raised his chin to the other side.
"The bus is coming."
The crowd was about to move, and Naruse had already spotted his position and stood at the front of the team. He grabbed Morimi and asked her to stand in front of him.
When the bus stopped, Morimi was the first to get on the bus. After finding a seat and sitting down, he grabbed Naruse who was about to go back and asked him to sit next to him.
“You can also get seats on later flights.”
"Yeah."
"I'm thinking if I should go to school later starting tomorrow."
She looked out the window, and the rising sun shone brightly on the exposed metal frame of the dilapidated platform.
"I feel that I am in a good state now. When I study, my efficiency should also become higher." Kanshu La
"So, the tense state before was actually because I didn't sleep enough."
"Who knows."
Morimi turned back from the window and smiled at him, "Where's Naruse, don't you also want to sleep a little longer?"
"Forget it." He moved in to collect his arm that was hit by a passenger in the aisle. "It's really too crowded at this time. It reminds me of the time when I used to squeeze into the train to commute in Tokyo."
"Without Naruse, I might not be able to get a seat."
"It's okay, standing can refresh you."
She raised her arm and bumped him.
"If the target was Naoko, Naruse wouldn't have said that."
