Chapter 69: Sickness and Visitation
It was the first time that Naruse had come to the second floor of Morimi's house, and it was only with her weak guidance that he found her room.
Sending her to the bed to lie down, Naruse touched her forehead with the back of his hand again.
"It seems to be hotter. I guess it's because I didn't wear clothes before......"
The fist came out from under the covers and smashed into his knee, but with no force.
"Kill you......"
Morimi gritted his teeth and looked at him, his cheeks red and hot.
"I'm sorry." Naruse shoved her arm back, "It looks like you're still a little sober, do you remember if there is any fever medicine at home, and where to put it?" ”
"Antipyretic ......"
She closed her eyes and thought for a moment, "I don't remember." ”
It's just that the "moment" in her eyes has actually passed two or three minutes.
"I thought you were asleep."
"Huh?"
"It's okay...... Unlock it. ”
When she opened her eyes again, Naruse was holding her phone, facing her face, to unlock it.
"I'll contact Mr. Morimi."
Morimi didn't say anything, and I didn't know if I heard him.
The phone was quickly connected, and when he heard a man's voice coming from his daughter's mobile phone, Morimi immediately asked a few words vigilantly and anxiously, "Who is you", "Why is Kazuha's mobile phone in your hand", "What about Kazuha people".
Until Naruse reveals his identity.
"Ah, it's the sea of spring......"
And after learning that his daughter had a fever at home and collapsed, Morimi said that he would come over immediately.
It will take some time to get here from Morimi Furuhonten, and after hanging up the phone, Naruse looked at Morimi's state again, didn't disturb her, and slowed down and walked to the window.
In front of the window is her desk, on which are a bunch of tutorial books for various subjects, and in the middle are a few exam papers.
Naruse had just glanced at it casually, but quickly looked back, picked up the test paper, and stared at one of the questions and frowned.
After a moment, he furrowed his brow.
"Sasaki ......"
Looking at the title at the top, this is exactly the paper of Morimi's study school exam in Sasaki yesterday.
Three exams, three papers, out of a hundred points, 81 points for mathematics at the top, followed by 79 and 77 for English and Geography respectively.
Is this also considered a bad test? Naruse muttered in his heart.
“…… Do you find it difficult? Morimi's faint voice came from the bed.
He put down the test paper and looked back at her, "It's very difficult, I didn't do the first question for half a day." ”
She smiled.
After another moment, Naruse was looking at the questions on the geography test paper when her voice suddenly came from behind her.
"Fool whom."
"What?"
"The first question is not so difficult......
“…… You better go to sleep, leave me alone. ”
Naruse sat down at his desk and waited for the arrival of the Morimi couple.
The night was silent, and after another five or six minutes, footsteps could be heard downstairs.
Halfway down the stairs of Naruse, a call came from below.
"Spring Sea—"
“……”
Naruse's footsteps paused, and then sped up again, "Naoko? ”
"Spring Sea." Naoko followed the sound to find this side and stepped up the stairs.
"What's wrong with Naoko?"
"Because Harumi hasn't come back, I want to come to you. When Harumi called Mr. Morimi, I had just arrived over there, and he drove to buy medicine, and then Aunt Chieda would come over to take care of Ichiha. ”
Hearing that Mrs. Morimi would come over, Naruse breathed a sigh of relief.
"How's Kazuha doing?" Naoko stopped in front of him and looked him in the eye.
"I'm already lying down."
"Have you changed your clothes?"
"Do you want me to change it for her?"
Naoko smiled, "I'll go take a look at Ichiba." ”
took her upstairs to Morimi's room, Naruse didn't go in, and pulled the door behind him.
"It's too uncomfortable to wear so many clothes......"
Naoko lifted the quilt a little and looked at it, ready to change into pajamas for Morimi. And she closed her eyes and did not respond, as if she had fallen asleep.
Halfway through the clothes, it is difficult to continue.
"One Leaf ......"
Naoko called a few times, and Morimi opened her eyes and looked at her blankly for a moment.
"Naoko?"
"It's me. Kazuha changed his clothes. ”
"Hmmm......"
Morimi sat up with difficulty and undressed with the help of Naoko.
Seeing that she squinted into the room, as if looking for something, Naoko said, "Harumi is outside." ”
She lowered her eyes, didn't say anything, as if she hadn't heard, and her face was only sluggish.
Naoko didn't ask in detail.
took off her underwear and helped her put on her pajamas again and helped her lie down again.
"Thank you, Naoko......"
"Have a good rest, Aunt Chieda will come over later."
Sen opened his mouth when he heard this, and then showed a relaxed look, "I know." ”
"Is there anything else Ichiha needs?"
She shook her head.
After that, Naoko sat on the edge of her bed, and even though she had already changed her clothes, she didn't plan to call Naruse outside.
Not long after, Mr. and Mrs. Morimi arrived in a hurry.
Chie Morimi stayed behind to take care of her daughter, and Morimi drove back to the bookstore, bringing back the two children who stayed at home by the way.
"Fortunately, there is a spring sea, otherwise that child might have survived by himself silently."
"It just happened." Naruse didn't say much.
Naoko looked at him from the back seat.
"It's hard work, too."
"Where ......"
Sending the two to the intersection home, Morimi stopped the car.
Seeing him turn around, Naruse and Naoko also turned around and went home.
"What did Harumi eat at Kazuha at night?"
“…… Udon. ”
Goo –
The stomach untimely out of the mouth to expose his lies.
“……”
Naruse touched his stomach, "It doesn't taste good, I only ate a little." ”
I couldn't see Naoko's expression clearly in the dark.
"I kept the food."
"That's great."
She seemed to laugh a little.
"Has Mianguan-san's book been repaired?"
"I used glue, so I couldn't move around casually for the time being, so I put it at Morimi's house."
"I'll go see the situation of Kazuha tomorrow and get it back by the way."
"Hmm."
It burned for most of the night, and when Morimi woke up the next day, his body temperature had dropped to normal levels.
Lying on the bed, staring out the blurred window for a moment, she closed her eyes again.
When she had a fever, she had many dreams, some of which were so real that she woke up with a sense of melancholy.
And for what really happened yesterday, she couldn't help but start to doubt.
"Naoko was here last night? …… Or is it a dream? ”
Morimi looked down at the pajamas on her body, which seemed to be changed by Naoko for her.
However, it could also be a mother......
"One leaf."
Just as he was thinking, the door opened, and my mother walked in, reached out and touched her forehead, "It seems that the fever has subsided." ”
"The fever is gone."
"Is there anything else that is uncomfortable?"
She shook her head.
"Do you want something to eat?"
"No appetite ......"
"If you're hungry, tell your mother." Morimi Chieda stood up, "Kazuha's friends are here, do you want them to come up?" ”
"Who?" Yiye was stunned, "Naoko." ”
"Naoko, and Light and Starfish. The moon is also coming. ”
"Hmm...... Let them come up. ”
She sat up, felt for her glasses, and put on her coat.
Soon, several people went upstairs to her room.
"Are you alright?" Hikaru Takikawa sat directly by the window and touched her forehead.
"The fever has subsided." Kazuha smiled.
"I said before that Yiye is too stressed, so let's rest well these days." Takigawa said.
"Okay, Sister Yue."
Starfish and Shangzi also came over to say hello. According to the latter, they met on the road, so they came together.
Kazuha responded to their greetings with a smile, and glanced at the desk where Naruse had sat yesterday.
In addition to him, several friends who live nearby have come over.
After a while, Chieda Morimi came up with a few drinks and some snacks, Hikaru Takikawa set up a low table, and a few people sat down on the carpet next to the bed and chatted with Kazuha.
"Can Kazuha still go to school tomorrow?"
"No problem."
"Don't force it." The Takigawa sisters all said so.
She shook her head, "It's okay, the fever has subsided." ”
Hikaru Takikawa didn't say much, and instead looked at her room.
"It's been a long time, and Ichiha's room has moved upstairs."
She got up and went to the window and looked outside, "The view is also very good, you can see the Nanmu River." ”
"You can really see the river." Starfish also leaned over, "You can go down there, we used to build a ...... with stones there"
She was halfway through her speech when she suddenly stopped.
Hikaru Takikawa smiled, and then said, "Yes, Harumi said that he would build a dam to see if he could stop the small fish." ”
Naoko also got up and went to the window to look at it for a while, "It's there." ”
"Do you remember Kazuha?" Hikaru Takikawa asked, looking back.
"Of course I do."
Morimi sat on the bed and looked at them, "I also remember that time when we walked a long way down the river, the adults came looking for us like crazy. ”
Hikaru Takikawa smiled, "The next day we were all locked up at home. ”
"No, Hikari is missing for another day." Takigawa Tsuki corrects his sister.
"Huh?"
"You sneaked out and hid upstairs in Chunhai's house for a day. Haruhi, Naoko, and Harumi's mother didn't know it, but they were only found when they were hungry and looking for something to eat. ”
"Ah, I remember...... Time flies. ”
Sitting on the bed, Mori saw several people looking at the window, and his heart also emitted the same emotion.
Time flies.
Growing up, she is no longer as inconspicuous as she was at the beginning, but the eyes of her companions are no longer just on each other.
It made her a little lonely.
