Chapter 42: Staying Overnight (I)
"Nanamin, remember to put the bowl in the sterilizer after washing, and wipe the water on the edge of the sink dry. Good work! Hoshimi lazily collapsed on the sofa with his stomach in his hands, put his legs on the coffee table casually, and played with the TV remote control in his hand, acting like a leisurely boss.
Mai Fukagawa turned her head to look at her in surprise when she heard Hoshimi lying on the side with her head propped up and commanding Hashimoto unreasonably, but she was defeated by the other party's sincerity and guiltless calmness, and after retracting her gaze, she naturally helped Nanami Hashimoto tidy up.
"Do you want to put it in the kitchen first? Or do you put these side dishes directly in the refrigerator? Fukagawa held two small discs in his hands, turned to look at Hoshimi on the sofa, and saw that the other party was watching the TV intently and completely ignoring her, and silently increased the volume. miho! Where do you put these? ”
"Put it in the fridge - no, wait a minute." Hoshimi got up and quickly moved to Fukagawa's side with small steps, reached out and took the side dishes that had barely touched and took them to the kitchen, and then exposed the door frame to Fukagawa and said, "Maimai just go and sit in the living room, Nanami will clean up here." ”
After speaking, Hoshimi left a confused Fukagawa stunned to look at Hashimoto who was silently cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, Hashimoto noticed Fukagawa's gaze and nodded helplessly.
Hoshimi divided the side dishes into a clean lunch box, found the previous cloth bag in the storage cabinet, packed the lunch box and put it on the cabinet in the entrance. And Fukagawa helped Hashimoto clean up together, and the two worked together to clean up the battlefield.
Hoshimi secretly observed from the crack in the door, watching Hashimoto scrub the greasy barbecue machine with a depressed face, while Fukagawa on the other side of the pool smiled and talked to Hashimoto while wiping the counter. Hoshimi raised an eyebrow and silently stepped out, walked to the living room to turn off the TV, and turned on the record player on the bookshelf behind the bar.
Hoshimi walked quietly to the balcony alone, the city slowly quieted down after a day of noisy, and the residential area seemed quite quiet, and the benefit of the high-rise probably lies in this, looking at the scenery full of lights of thousands of homes.
The small fountain in front of the apartment was splashing with water, and Hoshimi looked at the two huge Christmas trees in front of the gate, which had been hung with strings of small colored lights. But how many people up and down this building can enjoy this joyful atmosphere at this time?
The evening breeze stirred up her sideburns, Hoshimi propped up the glass railing, the record player's stylus bouncing on the grooves, she silently pressed the phone screen, and there was no other unread message except for the persistent harassing messages of Shirakami Yuki. Her conversation with Mikoto Hoshimi also ended with a thank you after receiving the beef yesterday.
The sharp corners of the phone gently pressed against the chin, poking out a shallow red mark, Hoshimi pinched his fingers and turned around, putting the two busy but lively 'dishwashers' in the kitchen into the camera, but he didn't press the shutter for a long time, until a song was sung and the silence stopped for a moment, and the laughter of Fukagawa and Hashimoto urged her to press the button.
"Click-"
The clear shutter sound attracted the attention of the two active idols, and at the moment when the two turned around, there was another "click", and the smile in the photo was surprisingly consistent with the comfort of the two of them still stuck in the corners of their mouths and eyes. Hoshimi shook his phone and smiled slyly at Hashimoto, "Don't worry, the cost of the model is extraordinary." After saying that, Hoshimi smiled and sent the photos to the two of them, and then involuntarily pointed the camera at his scarlet cheeks and the glowing Christmas tree downstairs, and silently took a breath and lifted the corners of his mouth.
Maybe the night is too thick, this time the flash of the mobile phone spontaneously touched unintentionally stinged Xingmi's eyes, and she had a rare awkward look in the photo, but the Christmas tree was lit up, and after thinking about it, she still sent the photo over, and then attached a simple sentence: "Thank you." Thanks to my mom, the beef was delicious and enjoyed with my friends. The red mark on his chin slowly faded, and at the moment when it was about to disappear, Hoshimi clicked send again, and the read immediately appeared next to the bubble that had just appeared on the screen.
Hoshimi looked at the familiar smirk, and gently popped the bubble funny, "Let's eat together when Mommy comes back." ’
'Then please go home early.' ’
The high-rise is good everywhere, the only drawback is that the wind is too strong, and after sneezing, Hoshimi decisively abandoned this piece of feng shui treasure and threw himself into the arms of the sofa.
The sound of water in the kitchen became quieter and quieter, and Hoshimi looked up at the wall clock on the wall, where the hour and minute hands formed a perfect right angle. She thought about it and wanted to get up and put the lunch box in the entrance back to the refrigerator, Fukagawa and Hashimoto had already cleaned up the kitchen, and now they were following the instructions of Boss Hoshimi, one of them put the washed dishes and chopsticks in the sterilizer, and the other wiped the water droplets that splashed by the sink.
Hoshimi curled the corners of his mouth, nodded in satisfaction, walked into the bathroom with smug steps and humming a small tune to the music, put the hot water in the bathtub, and ran to the guest room to make the bed briefly. When Hoshimi walked into the living room with two packs of bath towels that had not yet been opened, Fukagawa and Hashimoto were rubbing their arms and sitting on chairs in the dining room for a nap.
"Who's going to take a bath first? Disposable underwear and toiletries were already placed on the bathroom cabinet, and a change of clothes was thrown into the blue basket next to it. If you have pajamas, there are no new ones at home, so you can only wear mine first. Hoshimi threw the bath towel straight into the arms of the two of them.
"There is only one room, which of you sleeps in my room?" Hoshimi took off the stylus from the record player and went to the kitchen to get three cans of milk and put them on the table.
"Huh? It's good for us to go home, it's too disturbing to stay overnight today. Fukagawa delivered the milk to Hashimoto and turned his head to look at Hoshimi uneasily.
"It's okay, my mother went abroad, and I'm alone at home." Hoshimi lay back on the sofa with the milk in his hand and turned the TV back on, "And it's too late today, it's almost half past nine now, and the girls are not safe at night." As he spoke, Hoshimi pointed to the TV screen and shouted, "Look, today's news, yesterday there was a man who called himself Da Da Ya who was arrested by the police for his rude behavior. The world is terrible now. ”
Fukagawa and Hashimoto looked at Hoshimi's fingers, and the TV was really reporting an indecent case, watching Hoshimi smack his tongue and muttering something in his mouth, while lazily turning the remote control, he could only nod helplessly and agree to the proposal to stay overnight.
"Then who goes to take a bath first, the water has already been soaked, but there is no bath oil and bath salts, and it is placed on the shelf next to it, please put it yourself." Hoshimi took a sip of milk comfortably, and his lazy appearance was like a cat squinting on the roof basking in the sun in winter.
"Maimai go first, Nanami wants to wash the strawberries for me first." Hoshimi couldn't help but suggest as the two exchanged glances.
Watching Fukagawa walk into the bathroom with a stomach full of doubts, Hashimoto slowly got up and prepared to go to the refrigerator to get strawberries according to Hoshimi's instructions, "Are you really going?" Hoshimi looked at Hashimoto's well-behaved appearance and felt funny, and the person who usually plays a serious big sister suddenly became obedient to his words, and Hoshimi was really flattered.
"Nanamin will sleep in my room today, the medicine box is on the desk in my bedroom, now go and wipe the medicine first, after a while, take a bath and sleep will be more comfortable when the smell of medicine dissipates." Hoshimi smiled and looked at Hashimoto's slowly cold face, and ran into the kitchen to close the door and hide.
Hashimoto heard the sound of water in the kitchen and bedroom, and sighed silently, but he inexplicably felt a lot more relaxed, shook his head as Hoshimi usually looked, and walked into the bedroom.
