Chapter 212: On the Balcony
Buzz β
The mobile phone on the table vibrates, and Morimi glances back and stuffs the clothes in his hand into his travel bag.
Starfish: [Picture]
Starfish: Yoyogi Park.
Starfish: Chunhai's house is right next to the park, so close.
"It's pitch black, and I can't see it clearly."
Morimi clicked on the photo and looked at it.
"It should be noon, do you just remember to post photos now......"
Morimi: I'll take a clearer picture tomorrow during the day.

She sent a bunch of photos of cherry blossoms taken during the day.
"Are the cherry blossoms already blooming in Tokyo?"
Morimi sat down at his desk and looked over one by one, lingering for a moment on one of the pictures of the starfish appearing.
"Sure enough, it was taken by Naruse."
Morimi: It's beautiful.
Morimi: People are more beautiful than cherry blossoms.
Starfish: Hey, hey.
"Don't you want to be modest?"
Mori saw that he held his chin, a little helpless, but then he laughed too.
"Tokyo, ......"
She looked back at her half-packed luggage and sighed softly.
Morimi: What about Naoko?
Starfish: Preparing dinner.
Morimi: What about Naruse.
Starfish: Helping.
Morimi: Is Matsu-samatsu back?
Starfish: On the way.
Morimi: What are the starfish doing?
ββ¦β¦β
On the balcony, the starfish looked back at the living room inside.
Starfish: Waiting for dinner.
After chatting with Morimi for a while, Starfish returned to the house and went to the kitchen to take a look.
Naoko and Naruse were preparing dinner and had been busy for a while.
"Hungry?" Naruse quickly notices her, and Naoko looks over as well.
Starfish shook her head.
"I think so."
ββ¦β¦β
She had a lot of snacks in the afternoon.
"My mom is almost back." Naruse said, "Let's go put some hot water on the starfish, she'll probably have to take a bath first." β
"Okay."
Coming to the bathroom, the starfish studied it a little.
"I guess that'......"
She was about to make a move when Naruse came in.
"Click here." He tapped on the panel of the tub.
Drops β
"Alright."
Walking out of the bathroom, Naruse hadn't returned to the kitchen before the sound of the door opening the door.
The door opened, and Song Qianqiu came in with his arms open, hugging the starfish.
"I'm backβ"
Deeply in her bosom, Starfish slowly raised her hand to hug her, "Welcome back......
Song Qianqiu looked at his son and stretched out his arms again, "Chunhai should come over too." β
Naruse looked at her and the starfish in her arms, turned and walked towards the kitchen.
"I'm still preparing dinner. The hot water is already in the bathroom, you can take a bath first. β
"Auntie ......" heard the movement, and Naoko also came out of the kitchen.
"Naoko."
Matsu Chiaki smiled and hugged her as well, "Welcome to Tokyo." β
"Uh-huh."
Miss Sato, who followed in, closed the door and stretched out relaxedly.
"I didn't expect to be able to go home so early today......"
"It's still early after seven." Starfish said.
She smiled, "In the adult world, this is already early. β
After meeting, Naoko went back to the kitchen to continue preparing dinner, and Matsu Chiaki finished changing her clothes and ran over to look at the two children in the kitchen.
"As soon as I got home, I had a prepared dinner and hot water, so happy."
"It's not done yet."
"Harumi and Naoko should just stay in Tokyo." She said in a joking tone.
Naruse paused, not looking at her, "What are you talking about?" β
Matsuchiaki smiled at Naoko, who was looking at him.
"I'll go take a shower first."
"Okay."
Passing by the living room, she saw the assistant eating snacks on the table, and she also reached out to ask for some.
"What's this, weird and delicious...... Eat less, dinner is almost ready. β
Matsu Chiaki went to take a shower, and Miss Sato turned on the TV and chatted with her while eating a snack from a starfish.
"Miss Starfish's blonde hair is so good-looking."
"Huh...... Thank you. β
"You can see that it's usually well maintained."
"It's alright."
She leaned in a little closer, stared at her hair for a moment, and then her eyes fell on her face again.
"Miss Starfish is wearing makeup?"
"Ah, yes......"
"I can't see it. Miss Starfish has such a good foundation, and it's a pity that she didn't make her debut. β
Starfish's face soon turned red.
"No......"
After a while, Naruse came out of the kitchen, only to see the starfish on the sofa blushing and smirking, and it seemed that he and Miss Sato had become much closer.
"Young Master."
Miss Sato looked over, "Remember not to let Miss Starfish go out alone these days, she will be abducted." Tokyo is still too dangerous for Miss Starfish. β
ββ¦β¦β
Naruse was a little confused, so he glanced at the starfish.
"Got it. Let's get ready to eat. β
Matsu Qianqiu also came out of the bath quickly.
When she sat down at the table, it was already full of dishes, hearty and delicate.
"Are they all prepared by Naoko and Harumi, it's so rich...... It's been a long time since I've eaten at home. β
She folded her hands and smiled at everyone sitting on the left and right.
"I'm movingβ"
After dinner, Naruse and Naoko stayed in the kitchen to clean up the mess.
Miss Sato went to take a shower, and Matsuchiaki and Starfish sat on the sofa and chatted about the recent times.
"The moon will start tomorrow...... That's right, tomorrow is April. I didn't go to college, but I played a college student when I first debuted. β
"I've seen that show."
"Yes, it's been years, and at that time, Starfish and Harukai hadn't been born yet."
"I went to find ...... later"
Song Qianqiu smiled and moved closer to her, "What about the starfish herself, how are you doing?" β
"It's okay."
"Are you getting along well with Harumi?"
ββ¦β¦β
Starfish was silent for a moment and nodded, "It's okay." β
Song Qianqiu looked at her for a while, didn't say anything, reached out to wrap her shoulder, and patted her lightly twice.
The starfish slowly approached as well.
"Don't force it."
ββ¦β¦ Well. β
Naruse and Naoko washed the dishes and chopsticks, cleaned up the kitchen, and returned to the living room.
"It's hard work~"
Song Qianqiu beckoned Naoko to sit beside him, "Sit here." β
Naoko passed, and Naruse sat aside and watched TV.
"Have Toru and Sawako been back recently?"
"I came back half a month ago."
"Why is the institute always so busy?"
Naoko smiled, and Naruse said for her, "Their work is not divided into schedules. β
"That's right...... It's not the same as an artist. β
Song Qianqiu leaned back and looked up at the chandelier in the living room.
"After half a year of filming, I'm finally going to be busy."
All three children looked at her.
On her face, in addition to the tiredness that could not be concealed, there was also the anticipation and satisfaction that something was about to be completed.
"Mom is going to win the award this year, and she has a soft hand......"
"I haven't aired an episode yet."
"I have this confidence."
Song Qianqiu turned his head and smiled at his son, "The script is well written, and the actors' acting skills are also online, there should be no better work than this drama this year." β
"Does the producer have any big plans this time, and they didn't choose the traditional production and broadcasting method." Naruse asked.
"What is the tradition......" Starfish asked.
"It's just filming and broadcasting." Song Qianqiu explained, and continued: "On the one hand, the producer is very confident in the quality of this drama, and on the other hand, because of the sufficient funds, he did not choose this method, but the explosion after the broadcast is inevitable. At the moment, as far as I know, there are plans to make at least three specials and a movie. β
She smiled, "But that's a few months away, and I just want to finish this story and rest for a while." β
"How many more days?" Naruse asked.
"If nothing else, in four or five days, the shooting will be completely finished."
"Let's hope so, we'll only be able to stay for six or seven days at most."
A moment later, Miss Sato also came out of the shower.
"Starfish go wash it." Matsu Qianqiu patted her on the shoulder.
"Ah, okay."
Starfish goes back to her room to look for clothes to change for the shower, and Naoko follows along. Naruse got up and went to the balcony and looked out at the street below.
Yoyogi Park is already lit up and is bustling with activity during the day, and at night there are many people walking around the park to enjoy the cherry blossoms under the moonlight.
"Have you been there in the afternoon?" Matsuchiaki also came to the balcony.
"Hmm."
"How does it feel?"
Naruse leaned on the guardrail, "There are a lot of people, and the cherry blossoms are also very beautiful, but it's still like that." β
Matsu Qianqiu smiled.
"After all, Chunhai has only been gone for half a year."
"Naoko said she wanted to go to the park for a picnic."
"Huh? All right. I'll have time in a few days. β
Naruse looked back at the assistant lady who was sitting on the sofa wiping her hair, "When did Miss Sato move in?" β
"It was at the beginning of this year. Her house expired, and as a result, the rent went up by half, so I simply let her move in. β
"Do you collect rent?"
"You have to charge somewhat, 10,000 yen a month."
"It's cheap."
"I was expecting her to be able to cook when she moved in, but it didn't turn out as good as what I did."
Naruse laughed silently.
"What about the spring sea."
Song Qianqiu put his arm around his son's shoulder, "Are you okay for more than two months?" β
"There is contact basically every day, what can be bad."
"But Harumi also didn't tell me, right?"
Matsu Qianqiu put his arm hard and pressed his son, who began to struggle.
"For example, the relationship with starfish."
