At six o'clock in the afternoon, Asai waited for Naoki Natsume at the door of the company.

Amamiya Chizuru vowed to leave him until nine o'clock, occupy as much of his private time as possible, and not let Asai Mao take advantage of the opportunity, but he couldn't bear it until three or four o'clock in the afternoon, so he found an excuse to slip away.

Although Mio Izumi really wanted to spend more alone time with Naoki Natsume, she was empathetic and sensible, and knew that it was not good or safe to go home too late, so she gave Natsume Naoki a holiday in advance.

According to the meaning of the senior sister, most of the shares in the company are still in the hands of Amamiya Chizuru, so her voice is not as good as that of Amamiya Chizuru.

But if Amamiya Chizuru is not in the company, then she still has the final say.

As long as it is not something that will cause collective dissatisfaction among the company's employees, she will help Natsume Naoki open the back door.

"What's the matter, you look absent-minded."

Asai, who was driving, was waiting for a red light and glanced at Naoki Natsume.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Asai feels that Natsume Naoki at night is a little different from when he sent him over in the morning.

But I can't say exactly what is different.

Suddenly, the street lights on both sides of the road turned on, and the light suddenly turned on, and Natsume Naoki was particularly eye-catching by the bright lights outside.

He also turned his head to look at Asai and shook his head with a smile, "It's nothing, I'm thinking about things."

"That's right." Asai nodded thoughtfully, and didn't ask any more.

This is the tacit understanding between the two of them, a habit that they developed when they were still living together in Tokyo a long time ago-

If it can be said, even if you don't have to ask Naoki Natsume, you will tell Asai, and Asai will tell Naoki Naoki Natsume if she has anything on her mind.

So far, Asai hasn't had anything to say about what he was worried about.

As for those who couldn't be said, the two of them didn't ask.

Naoki Natsume propped his head with one hand and looked out the window at the night scene.

It gets dark early in the north, and night is already in Sapporo at six o'clock.

In Tokyo, I'm afraid it's still sunset, right?

He thought in his heart, with his growing understanding, he could easily understand the senior sister's mind.

In the eyes of the world, all the ambiguity before the confession is to pave the way for the confession, and the process of understanding each other is to understand each other from realizing that the confession period is long or short.

When the mutual affection reaches the threshold and both parties have this meaning, then break through the relationship of friends and move towards a deeper mutual relationship.

Perhaps, in the journey of working together, when the novelty of two people discovering and supporting each other to go on is slowly consumed by the shortcomings exposed by the daily trivial things in getting along, it is torture to each other to continue walking.

That relationship also came to an end.

Of course, the premise of all this is that after confession, there are some relationships between men and women who tacitly keep silent and hang on to each other, and finally slowly develop to the point of transcending friendship.

Thinking about it like this, the senior sister is still too kind, obviously she can be like this, but she can't help it, and insists on making her thoughts clear.

Maybe the senior sister thinks that after becoming closer after the confession, she can beat the other two people who have not confessed and are only limited to friendships, right? ….

Thinking of this, Naoki Natsume turned his head again to look at Asai who was concentrating on driving.

Is his relationship with Asai the latter?

After all, until now, Asai has not clarified what kind of relationship the two people have, and even what should and shouldn't have been done.

Santana drove steadily back to the village.

It's still parked outside the wall of Grandma Murata's house at the door.

"I've heard there's going to be sleet at night." Asai said as he got out of the car, "I hope it won't be hail."

Naoki Natsume looked at the sky and shook his head: "It shouldn't be so unlucky, I remember when I was a child, it was freezing rain in Hokkaido at most, then it was cold for two days, and then it snowed."

Hearing this, Asai looked thoughtfully

He glanced at it and thought to himself, wouldn't it be so unlucky?

Luck is such a thing.,It's easy to make a fg out of the words of the current Naoki brother!

After thinking about it, she took out her phone and began to check the weather forecast for today.

At the end, after turning off the phone, he sighed: "I really let Brother Naoki say that he is right, there is hail tonight, which is very unlucky."

Naoki Natsume was stunned when he heard this, and then reluctantly accepted this reality.

My luck has always been bad, and when I look up at the gloomy sky now, I know that tonight is not destined to be a good day.

"So what now?"

Asai opened the door again, "I'll drive the car to my uncle's garment factory and take the car back, otherwise the car will be smashed overnight."

I don't know the size of the hail, and Asai, as a good girl who is diligent and thrifty, will never joke about property.

Naoki Natsume also opened the car door: "I'll go with you, how can there be a reason to let a girl run outside alone at night."

Although with your skills, there will be absolutely no accidents.

He thought to himself.

Just as Asai was about to say something, the door of the Murata house next door opened.

A man poked his head out.

When he saw that it was Santana from Natsume's family, the man closed the door and came out.

"I said I heard the sound of a car, and sure enough, you came back." The man smiled heartily, "Long time no see, Naoki!"

"Are you...... Uncle Murata?" Naoki Natsume looked at the man with a little surprise.

He is the son of Grandma Murata next door, looking at the cold red nose, it is estimated that he has been waiting in the yard for a long time, waiting for them to come back.

"I heard my mom say you're back, and I've always wanted to come home and have a look." He scratched his head: "Everything in the field has been collected, I am doing odd jobs at the construction site outside, and there is no way to go back if the construction site does not give me leave some time ago." I don't know why, this afternoon I suddenly announced that it was a holiday, so I hurried back."

Naoki Natsume glanced at Asai and got out of the car first.

"I haven't seen you in years, Uncle Murata."

"yes, you've grown a lot taller than you did when you were a kid!" Murata measured his height and was very happy: "When you were a child, you were as tall as a fire hydrant, but the older child is very sensible and very pleasing to the villagers...... How long will you stay this time?"

Naoki Natsume replied truthfully, "It's about twenty or thirty days, it's just a summer vacation, and I'll come back in winter." ….

"I have to come back for the New Year!" Murata admonished.

Naoki Natsume nodded, "Let's come to the house for dinner another day, Uncle Murata." My dad was talking about you two days ago, saying that I hadn't eaten and drunk with you for a long time, and I grew up together. But now I have something to do, I have to drive the car to my father's factory, it will be hailing at night, and the car will be parked outside and smashed overnight."

Murata smiled, "I've been waiting for you two for this."

He looked at Asai again: "My mother specially instructed me to hail at night, so let me help you build a shed to cover the car."

As he spoke, Murata walked to the base of the wall, where there was a pile of material covered with tarps more than in the morning.

He lifted the tarp, "My mother has been telling me since the afternoon that if I was there when you came back that day, I could build you a carport. I'm back today, and hopefully it's not too late."

"I'm embarrassed to trouble you, uncle."

"Don't be humble, I've been out to work every year since you were away from home, leaving my mother in the village by herself...... Your parents have helped my mom a lot." Murata sighed: "My mother is old and alone at home, and they all say that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and building a shed is a trivial matter."

Naoki Natsume wanted to say something, but Asai got out of the car and tugged at his sleeve, then shook his head to signal no more excuses.

So the two of them helped the unspoken but warm-hearted man to build a simple carport out of wood and tarps outside the wall.

Albeit compared to

The cement is not very strong, but it is perfectly fine against rain, snow and hail.

When he was done, Murata waved his hand and went home.

Before leaving, he glanced at Asai who was following Naoki Natsume, and wondered why Mr. Natsume had specifically instructed him not to tell the story of this little girl.

Especially not to tell their sons.

In fact, Murata is also very familiar with Asai.

Because Naoki Natsume has been away from home for all these years, this little girl has been living with Natsume and his wife.
