At the turn of March and April, the nights will still be a little cold.

Especially on the balcony of the high-rise apartment with a gust of night wind.

Leaning against the guardrail, Song Qianqiu rubbed his arms.

Starfish confesses, Harumi refuses, and then becomes friends again...... That's it? ”

"Hmm."

"I didn't expect that...... That kid actually took this step. ”

Song Qianqiu sighed for a while, and then asked, "What is the opportunity?" ”

"I don't know."

"Really?"

Naruse didn't look at her, his hands alternated, and he was rubbing his arms, "I really don't know." ”

"Forget it, Chunhai is willing to tell my mother about it, which already makes me happy."

Naruse didn't speak.

He knew very well that if he didn't confess some of the facts to her, she would instead ask the starfish about it, and she would get much more than what he had told her now.

After being silent for a while, Song Qianqiu turned to look at the night sky and sighed softly.

Starfish ......

Naruse looked at her, then looked inside, on the sofa, Naoko was also looking at this.

The two looked at each other, and she smiled at him.

"Let's go inside." Naruse said, "If you get sick at this time, you'll be in trouble." ”

"Good~"

Song Qianqiu smiled again, put her hands on his shoulders, and pushed him in.

Back in the living room and sitting down next to Naoko, Naruse continued to watch TV.

"At night, it's still a bit cold outside......"

"It's much warmer than the Northeast."

"That's right."

Song Qianqiu leaned back on the sofa, quietly observing the two children, and at the same time recalled the words he had just heard in his mind.

She wanted to calm down, but there was a constant clatter on the other side.

She turned her head, "Why is Yoko eating starfish's snacks again, haven't you eaten enough at night?" ”

"No, just being idle is idle...... Does Miss Matsu want to eat it? ”

"I can't eat it."

When the starfish came out of the bath, I saw Matsu Chiaki and Miss Sato sharing her snacks together, and the two bags of potato chips had bottomed out.

Naoko then went to take a shower and waited for her to come out, before finally it was Naruse's turn.

That's what he wants, too—he wants to soak a little longer, and he doesn't want anyone else to wait.

After washing his body, Naruse sat down in the bathtub and let out a long breath.

"Is the bathtub over here so big......?"

Leaning back, he quickly remembered that he had felt the same way on the first night he had moved in two years ago.

With her body pressed against the bathtub, Naruse slowly closed her eyes.

Gollum –

He sank into the water.

"Hah-"

Before ten o'clock in the evening, the two adults yawned one after another.

"No more...... I'm going to sleep. ”

After not knowing how many times she fell on Matsuchiaki's shoulder, Miss Sato finally decided to go back to her room to sleep, and she got up with the crumbs of the snack still on the corner of her mouth.

"Let's go wash up first." Song Qianqiu's condition is only slightly better than her, "I have to get up early tomorrow to go to the set, I should also go to sleep, and Naoko and Starfish will play a little longer." ”

"No, I'm ready to sleep too."

Haixing was just about to nod, but when he saw Naoko say this, he had to change his words.

"I slept too......"

Song Qianqiu smiled at the two.

"Can't you sleep so early, can you? Don't worry, it's hard to wake up when I'm asleep, it won't disturb me. ”

So Naoko didn't rush to bed, and the starfish stayed outside.

"Good night."

"Good night~"

The two adults washed up one after another, and then went back to their rooms to rest.

Naoko and Starfish looked at each other.

"It's hard work."

"Hmmm......"

After watching TV for a while, Naoko suddenly got up: "I'll go to Harumi's room to have a look." ”

After taking a shower, Naruse stayed in the living room for a while and then went back to his room first.

Naoko opened the door, he sat down at his desk, and glanced at her, "Are you going to sleep?" ”

"No, go to bed later. What is Chunhai doing? ”

"Didn't do anything." He shook the mouse in his hand and looked at the computer screen again, "Just play around and pass the time." ”

Naoko walked into the room and stood behind him.

"Is this an online game?"

"Hmm."

"'Heart Barrier, Sword of Darkness and Silence'...... Is this the character of Harumi...... Hey, the name is missing? ”

“……”

Hiding the character's name, Naruse coughed, and after a while, he said, "I played the game a long time ago." ”

Naoko smiled.

"It's a pretty cool name."

“…… Say no more. ”

She stood behind and watched for a while.

"What is Chunhai doing now?"

"I haven't been online for a long time, and I don't know what to do, so I just hang out."

"Wow, is this a dragon?"

"Hmm."

"It looks amazing."

"It's just an NPC...... I also have a Wyvern mount. ”

Naruse pressed on the keyboard, and the character began to read the note, and then a black wyvern appeared out of thin air, lifting him into the air.

"Look ......"

Naoko was lying behind him, looking at the screen, and the voice sounded in his ears.

"Is this the dragon of the spring sea, it's amazing......"

She wore only pajamas after taking a shower, and Naruse sat motionless.

“…… Well. ”

"Can you fly?"

He tapped the space.

"Wow...... Is this dragon only found in Harumi? ”

"Not really."

"How?"

"Uh...... Krypton. ”

“……”

There was suddenly a sense of oppression behind him: "How much?" ”

“…… Let's see how high this dragon can fly. ”

After a short while, the starfish also came to Naruse's room.

"Are you playing a game?"

Naoko was lying behind him, looking very focused, and she walked over to see him flying around with the character in control.

"Online games?"

"Hmm."

The starfish looked at it for a moment, and he was just flying around.

"Isn't that boring?"

Boring, of course.

If his mind is still on the game.

Naruse didn't speak, he tapped on the keyboard, and the Wyvern mount disappeared out of thin air, and the character fell from the sky.

After killing a few wild monsters nearby, he turned his head, "Is my mom asleep?" ”

"Hmm." Naoko straightened up, her hands still on his shoulders.

He looked at the starfish, "Aren't you sleeping yet?" ”

She looked at Naoko.

"I'll sleep with Naoko."

Naoko smiled, "It's past ten o'clock, and it's almost time to go to bed." Aren't you going out tomorrow? ”

"Then go to sleep." Naruse also turned off the computer, "I slept too." ”

"Good night."

"Good night."

The two of them left his room and walked softly into Matsu Qianqiu's room.

Only the bedside lamp was still on, and she lay in the middle of the bed, already asleep.

"Where are starfish going to sleep?" Naoko asked softly.

"Outside."

"Then I'll sleep inside."

The bed here is also very large, a little cramped, but it is enough to sleep three people.

The two of them went to bed separately and got into the bed.

"Naoko wakes up tomorrow and calls me."

"Okay."

Starfish took off her glasses and put them on the bedside to get ready for bed, but her eyes were drawn to the picture frame facing inward.

Thinking of Naruse's hidden action during the day, she picked it up without hesitation.

“……”

It's just a photo of the high school entrance ceremony.

What do you think it is......

There's nothing to hide here.

Starfish thought, holding the picture frame in his hand, but he didn't put it back for a long time.

Why is this expression......

She looked at his face and touched it with her fingertips.

"Starfish, what's wrong?"

Naoko on the other side looked over.

“…… Ah, it's fine. Starfish put the frame back on the bedside, "I'm turning off the lights." ”

"Okay."

Smack.

"Good night."
