349. The tenderness of tulips

Saori Onishi and Mizurai, who were hurrying back to the hotel from the snow, were shivering all over when they entered the room.

The weather in Hokkaido in April this year still makes it impossible to stay outdoors for a long time. Whether it's Mizurai who has just come back to her senses, or Saori Onishi, who has been freezing in the snow for a while, the first thing she wants to do when she returns to the hotel is to take a good bath with hot water.

Not to mention that on the way back, the two of them tripped over something and threw themselves on the snow. Some of the snow particles even fell into their clothes, giving people a first-hand feel of what it means to be cold and biting cold before melting into water and continuing to absorb the heat from their bodies.

It's a pity that the bathtub in the room is not big, and it definitely can't accommodate two people to take a bath together, so after a fair guess, Saori Onishi successfully obtained the right to take a bath first.

Listening to the sound of water in the bathroom, Shui Laiqi sat on the windowsill and looked at the scenery outside the window with some boredom.

In the darkness of the night, except for the lights of the hotel itself, only patches of snow can be clearly seen, and the trees growing in the snow can only be vaguely seen. As for the stars in the sky, they were naturally hidden under the cover of night.

Mizurai got up and turned off the lights in the room, and sat down on the windowsill again. In the darkness, her eyes gradually lost focus. If someone could look through the window at this time, they would probably only see a dark figure motionless in front of the windowsill.

Outside the window, fine white particles began to fall at some point. At first, it took two or three seconds to see a single grain, but later, the time interval between its descent became shorter and shorter, and it became present everywhere in sight.

"It's April, why is it still snowing?" Shui Laiqi muttered, and after weighing it, she gave up the idea of opening the window and catching the snow with her hands. The sound of water in the bathroom stopped, apparently enough water in the bathtub. For a moment, the sound of Shui Lai's breathing in the room was clearly audible.

She picked up her phone and opened the line, but Yu Murakami still didn't have a single message. Open Twitter, Murakami's last tweet was the one announcing his relationship with Ai Nakano, and as for a few days, nothing has changed.

The snow outside the window is getting heavier and heavier, and the original snow particles gradually turn into snowflakes, falling from the sky one after another, beautiful and untouchable.

This quiet atmosphere made Mizurai feel depressed, and when she came to Hokkaido during her annual vacation, it was also snowing, and she felt enthusiasm and joy. But only a few months later, the snow falling in front of her formed a thick blanket that covered the ground and her heart.

In the goose feather snow, the snow in front of the hotel is smooth and traceless, and no one chooses to go out in such weather, as if she is trapped in her own mood and is trapped in the hotel.

"My feelings are only for me to fight for, come on, you are so cute, so beautiful, you will definitely be able to do it!" Cheering herself up in her heart, she edited the message she wanted to convey to Yu Murakami and everyone else on her Twitter page.

The snow is overwhelming, but she has to find her way through this unbridled snow.

……

"I'm fine, inori, you can go wash it too." Saori Onishi finally finished cleaning and walked out of the bathroom in a bathrobe, only to see Mizurai sitting next to the bed with her arms around her.

The heating in the hotel is not enough, even in the room, it is not warm enough, and Shui Laiqi has been cold in the snow before, so it is understandable to wrap his arms around the bed at this time.

"Go on, inori, if you don't go to the water, it's going to be cold, and if you put the water again, it's a waste!" Saori Onishi struggled to pull up the water and push her into the bathroom.

Mizurai's steps were a little heavy, and Saori Onishi didn't think much about it, just thinking that she was still worried about things with Yu Murakami. After finally locking Shui Laiqi in the bathroom, she noticed that Shui Laiqi's phone was on the windowsill, and the screen was still on.

Shaking her head, Saori Onishi locked the screen of Mizurai's mobile phone and put it on the table to plug in the charging cable.

"Inori shouldn't have tweeted to her seniors like she said." Although she thought so, Saori Onishi was not sure. Shui Laiqi has the character of doing whatever he thinks, and he may have tweeted it while he was taking a shower.

I opened my phone and carefully checked Shui Laiqi's Twitter, and there was nothing abnormal.

Saori Onishi breathed a sigh of relief, leaned back on the bed, took out the snacks in her backpack that she hadn't had time to move, and tore open the package to fill the emptiness in her stomach.

Not long after, Shui Laiqi directly changed into pajamas and came out, but the person didn't seem to be in good spirits. After confirming that the phone was charging, she only said "Saori, I slept first" and lay down to rest.

Saori Onishi could only try to pay attention to eating snacks without making a sound, and ate the rest of the snacks while playing with her mobile phone.

Shui Laiqi seemed to fall asleep in just a short time, probably as a result of both physical and mental exhaustion. And since there is no one to talk to, it is possible that tomorrow I will rush back to Tokyo after watching the cherry blossoms, and Saori Onishi will also clean up and rest.

No one noticed that at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, Shui Laiqi's mobile phone screen suddenly lit up.

On Sunday, Yu Murakami, who got up at 8 a.m., ignored the messages on various communication apps as usual.

However, after getting up, Ai Nakano roughly flipped through the messages from various followers on Twitter, looked down for a while, put down her phone, and snatched Yu Murakami's phone. Open to Mizurai's Twitter message and put it in front of Yu Murakami.

"Murakami-san, even if you have a relationship with Nakano-san, I will not give up the idea of dating you! From now on, even if Murakami-san tries to avoid me, I'll do my best to find you! I like you, Murakami-san! ”

A very simple tweet was sent at 12 o'clock on Saturday night, presumably using a timed posting method.

"Murakami-kun?" There was no expression on Ai Nakano's face.

Yu Murakami couldn't give an answer, so he could only look at the tweet and not speak.

The phone rang suddenly, and it showed that it was Saori Onishi.

Yu Murakami showed the screen of his mobile phone to Ai Nakano, and signaled that he would answer Saori Onishi's call first.

"Senpai, inori she has a high fever." On the other end of the phone came Saori Onishi's anxious voice.

"High fever? How would you know? ”

"Yesterday Inori pulled me out to go shopping, and then it occurred to me that I was going to Hokkaido. We arrived in Hokkaido in the afternoon, and in the evening she caught a cold while playing outside, and the heating in the room was not enough, so she went straight to bed after taking a shower last night. When I tried to wake her up this morning, I realized that her forehead was so hot! Saori Onishi doesn't seem to be planning to tell Yu Murakami about Mizurai's thoughts.

"Onishi, do you know a tweet that Mizura-san posted at twelve o'clock last night?"

"What kind of tweet, senior? I also went to bed early yesterday and just woke up this morning to find that Inori had a high fever and didn't have time to look at my phone! ”

"Forget it, you'll see for yourself later." Murakami paused and asked, "Why did you go to Hokkaido?" ”

Inori said that she was not feeling well and wanted to come to Hokkaido to enjoy the cherry blossoms. Saori Onishi still plans to hide the idea of water prayer first.

"I see, I'll contact you later."

After speaking, Yu Murakami hung up the phone and looked at Ai Nakano inquiringly.

"Murakami-kun, let's go to Hokkaido. You and I have to talk to Xiao Qi. The voice was faint, and the firmness was hidden in it.

"Okay."

Quickly packed up their things, and even brought some medicine to help reduce fever, and the two quickly got on a plane at noon and headed for Hokkaido.

After asking Saori Onishi about the hotel they were in, Ai Nakano pulled Yu Murakami straight to his destination without stopping.

Only Saori Onishi opened the door of the hotel room, and two or three steps through the door, you could see Mizurai lying on the bed with a white towel on her forehead.

Ai Nakano glanced at Yu Murakami, turned her head and asked Saori Onishi to prepare some hot water first. Then she went straight to the bedside, lowered her head to take the towel, and tested the temperature of the water with her forehead.

Yu Murakami also stood by the bed, waited until Ai Nakano finished testing the temperature, and then tested the temperature with the back of his hand against Mizurai's forehead.

"According to what Onishi said, the reason for the high fever is poor rest and taking a bath directly after catching a cold, it should be a cold."

"Senior...... I'm ahead of Inori, and the two of us are guessing who will use the bathroom first. Saori Onishi cautiously added.

"How long?"

"At least twenty minutes. Inori just didn't look in good spirits after taking a shower, but I didn't expect to have a fever this morning. ”

"What did you play last night?"

"That's it...... It was to go out for a walk and sit in the snow for a while. It snowed heavily last night and we came back early. ”

"Onishi, have you read the latest tweet from Mizurai-san on Twitter?"

"I've seen ......"

"What the hell did you do last night?"

"Inori her...... Inori said yesterday that she hadn't played enough in the snow during her annual vacation, and after entering the room, she dragged me to the snow. But she didn't play either, just sat under the tree and cried for a while. I was afraid she would catch a cold, so I pulled her in. ”

"Let's let her rest first." Yu Murakami didn't ask any more, just sat cross-legged on the ground.

On the way to the hotel after getting off the plane, Yu Murakami carefully read Mizurai's tweet and the reply below. Under that tweet, there was a lot of abuse against her.

In addition to some of her own extreme fans who think that idols can't fall in love, there are also those who support Yu Murakami and Ai Nakano's fans who strongly support their relationship, thinking that Mizurai is a voice actor and idol regardless of his face, and he has already announced his relationship and still stalks, and he doesn't have the private virtues that public figures need.

There are also some industry insiders who support Nakano Aiyi who have also criticized Shui Laiqi, but their rhetoric is relatively mild, not as harsh as some fans.

Shui Laiqi's agent did not speak, probably planning to wait until he contacted Shui Laiqi to criticize her in person.

However, Chinatsu Akasaki was a little fierce, thinking that Mizurai was trying to destroy the happiness of his friend.

However, among these insiders, Tomoyuki Morikawa, the president of Mizurai's office, was vague about this matter, neither supporting nor opposing, but just made several calls to Yu Murakami, although Yu Murakami has not answered yet.

The atmosphere in the room was a little awkward, and after wiping her face with a wet towel for Mizurai, Yu Murakami, Ai Nakano, and Saori Onishi fell into an eerie silence together.

In the end, it was Ai Nakano who broke the peace: "Murakami-kun, if Xiaoshui wakes up later, I want you and Onishi to wait outside the door for a while, and then come in when I call you in." ”

Naturally, Yu Murakami can't object, while Saori Onishi's opinion is insignificant.

It was about three o'clock in the afternoon, and an hour after the two arrived at the hotel, Shui Laiqi woke up. Yu Murakami and Saori Onishi were naturally driven into the corridor as agreed.

"Senior, is it really okay to stay with Nakano-san and Inori?"

"I don't know."

"Then why?"

"Don't ask, wait."

In the room, Shui Laiqi, who woke up with a headache, saw Ai Nakano sitting next to her bed at first sight.

"Nakano-san, I'm ......" doesn't look like he was full of anger when he quarreled with Suzune Sakura, and at this time, Mizurai was a little weak no matter what.

"Take the medicine first." Ai Nakano didn't reply, got up and took the water cup and pills in her hand, and returned to the bed and handed them to Mizurai.

After taking the pill, Mizurai was interrupted by Ai Nakano before she could speak.

"Xiaoshui, do you know what it means to you to tweet those things?" Ai Nakano's tone was a little heavy.

"I know that I may never be an idol again, and I will never be able to do dubbing again."

"Then why are you sending these things?"

"I like Murakami-san."

Although she is still a little weak-hearted, she still has the kind of righteousness that belongs to her after all.

"Actually, I should have understood it a long time ago......"

"Nakano-san?"

"From the time I lived in Sakuraso, Murakami-kun's heart didn't belong to me alone."

“……“

"That's why it's happening now, we left Sakuraso, Nana left Sakuraso, and you confessed to Murakami-kun on Twitter."

"I thought that if I didn't force him to make a decision, he would always make his own decision at the end. I was really happy when I heard him say he liked me on Monday. So I immediately decided to go with him on Tuesday to find the house, and now it seems that he has never forgotten about you. ”

"When Onishi first called Murakami-kun and told him that you were sick, Murakami-kun looked at me as if he was asking for my opinion. I knew that if I didn't reply, he probably wouldn't have come to Hokkaido. But I can't guarantee that every time I don't reply, he won't leave my side. ”

Nakano Aiyi's words also brought a little crying at some point, unwillingness, dissatisfaction, fear, all kinds of emotions mixed in, and so on.

Her tulip hairpins glow and fragrance in the somewhat dimly lit room, soothing the sick and visiting the sick sitting on the bed.
