In the darkness, the shadows of the trees swayed and rustled.

The wind is blowing.

It's windy.

It was late at night, and the fire in the yard was almost extinguished, when a gust of wind blew away all the ash charcoal on the upper floor, revealing the red charcoal fire that had not yet burned underneath.

The four walls, the wind blowing into the courtyard, the power is limited to that.

But suddenly there was an open fire in the fire!

The wind could not blow away the charcoal, but it blew a lot of leaves, which fell on the fire and were soon ignited.

Another gust of wind blew, and the burning leaves swirled away, and instead of flying out of the yard, they flew into the utility room beside them.

The fire did not dissipate.

The wind blew incessantly, and another flaming leaf drifted in.

The light and shadow are beating, and they are becoming more and more conspicuous.

Something in the utility room was on fire.

Who's going to take a look, the utility room is going to burn......

The whole house is going to be set on fire!

“……”

Naruse snapped his eyes open.

Whoop –

Ears blinded by dreams, the moment they woke up, they heard the movement in the courtyard.

What was that...... Is it raining?

It was so dark that you couldn't even see the ceiling. He raised his head slightly, looking into the courtyard.

The rain was pouring down, and the bonfire on the ground had already been beaten away by the fierce raindrops, and the ashes were all running clean.

“……”

Is it really raining?

Naruse sat up, his head drowsy, and when he closed his eyes, he was filled with the scene of the burning leaves igniting the utility room and then setting the entire Morimi house on fire.

Thinking about it day and dreaming at night, I should have put out the campfire before going to bed last night......

After a moment's pause, he opened his eyes again and looked out.

It's dark, and it's not just because of the weather, it's only four or five o'clock in the morning at most.

As soon as his eyes closed, he lay down again, only to open them again after a while.

I want to go to the bathroom.

Once this thought arises, it is destined to be unable to coexist with sleepiness.

After enduring it for a while, Naruse still struggled to get up and went to the bathroom.

The door was just hidden, and he pushed it in, only to find that there was a person sitting on the toilet, looking at him with a little blankness.

“……”

The pajama pants on his legs had faded to between his knees, and the dark part between his legs, he didn't see clearly, and he didn't dare to look at it more.

Hurriedly exited the bathroom, and Naruse did not forget to close the door.

He suddenly remembered that she had a habit of taking a shower without closing the door.

“…… Don't you even close the door to the bathroom? ”

It took about ten seconds for Morimi's voice to come out of it.

"There's no one at home, I'm used to it."

I actually said that I was used to it......

"And I didn't expect a second person to wake up at this time."

Naruse was about to say something, but there was a sound of flushing water from inside.

Soon, she opened the door and came out slowly.

"Did I wake you up?" She looked at him.

"Nope. I woke up on my own. ”

She nodded, and muttered again, as if to herself, "Then I shouldn't have noticed what I just did......"

“……”

Naruse was stunned, and then a little helpless.

What did you just do?

Are you saying what she did to him before he woke up?

Whether it was true or not, if he really followed her words and thought about it, then he would be in her way.

He ignored it, turned around and walked into the bathroom, closed the door and began to release.

At the end, I didn't hear her leaving, and when I went out, she was really leaning next to her and waiting.

"Why did you wake up so early?"

Morimi opened his eyes, "I wanted to attack you at night last night, but I didn't wait for the opportunity, and I didn't cover the quilt and woke up from freezing." ”

“……”

Yawning, she continued, "I could still see the moon last night, but I didn't expect it to rain heavily when I woke up. ”

"Hmm."

She turned to look at him, "Did you sleep well last night?" ”

"Well, I fell asleep when I turned my head upside down."

"Do you want to go back to sleep?"

"Otherwise, it's only a few o'clock."

"Are you going to sleep in my room?"

"No need."

"Then you can ......"

She didn't say anything for a long time, and Naruse glanced back, only to find that she was lying on the wall with her arms on her pillow.

"One leaf?"

He didn't hear what she said.

Returning to her, she turned her head, her voice so low that it seemed like only her lips were moving.

"I'm a little dizzy...... Give me a hand. ”

Naruse casually held her shoulder, and she was like a puppet with flexible joints in every part, her head tilted back weakly, revealing an extremely ugly face.

He instantly dispelled a thought that had just risen in his heart, and then became solemn again.

I touched her forehead, the temperature was not high, and it was even a little cold.

"It's not a fever...... I just didn't sleep well and got up too early...... My head and chest were very uncomfortable, and I couldn't ease it down. ”

She lowered her head again, and the whole person lay on top of him, "I thought I was going to die on the toilet just now." ”

"You're a little too weak, too...... Is there really nothing wrong with the body? ”

"Don't worry, I go to the hospital regularly for check-ups...... Guess what the doctor said. ”

Naruse looked down at her face, "What do you say?" ”

"He asked me to walk to school every day, saying that if I persisted for a year, my physical fitness would be improved."

"Very pertinent."

"Then I have less time to sleep in the morning."

"I'm afraid that you will suddenly die one day while studying."

She seemed to laugh and rubbed him on the shoulder again, "You won't have a headache if I die." ”

Naruse pursed her lower lip, ignored her, and prepared to help her back to the living room to lie down.

"Go upstairs." She guessed his intentions, "I'm more used to sleeping in a bed." ”

"Can you climb the stairs?"

"Can't you pick me up?"

"You're so embarrassed."

"I'm going to fall ......"

Naruse was helpless, "I'll carry you up." ”

She answered with her eyes closed.

She leaned into his ear, "I don't wear ......"

“…… Perverted. ”

"It's all said, I'm going to attack you at night."

Naruse didn't speak, carried her to the upstairs room, carefully placed her on the bed, and covered her with the quilt.

"It'll be fine with a good night's sleep."

She opened her eyes, "Are you so perfunctory to Naoko, what if I die?" ”

It was too early, and he couldn't call the few people who were still asleep below to come up and take care of her, so he had to stay and take care of her for a while.

"Then you sleep, I don't think you will die."

"You're really good at talking. Hand to me. ”

“……”

"Give it to me."

She lay on her side, holding one of his hands with both hands, and pulled it to the pillow to lay it down.

"Do you feel it?"

As soon as she spoke, the heat pounced on the back of his hand.

"If you run out of gas, you're dead."

"Hurry up and go to sleep."

"Or ......"

"Do you think it's better to have a more accurate heartbeat?"

“……”

Naruse withdrew his hand and stood up, "I'm going down." ”

She hurriedly grabbed him, and such a simple action also made her dizzy.

"Sorry...... Just stay with me for a while. ”

He wasn't pulled by her, he really looked at her dying, and he couldn't ignore her.

Laying her flat and putting her hands back under the covers, he sat down on the edge of the bed.

"You might be a little sick, mentally."

He looked out the gray window, "People are dying, and they still have the heart to do this kind of thing." ”

"I don't think I need to remind you again, I'm in a relationship with Naoko."

"Can you do such a thing if you are in a relationship, pervert."

Naruse opened her mouth, suddenly realizing that she just didn't have anything to say, and closed it again.

Seeing that he didn't speak, she also fell silent.

Looking out the window and sitting for a while, Naruse turned his head to see if she was asleep, but he did meet her gaze.

"Do you want to lie down for a while, I can sleep in it."

"I'm afraid I'll fall asleep when I lie down."

She smiled, "Isn't that just right, you didn't sleep long?" ”

"Even if I don't sleep, I can't sleep with you."

"I didn't sleep."

"So...... Huh? ”

Morimi closed his eyes, "I said, I didn't sleep last night." ”

"Why?"

"Self-inflicted."

She opened her eyes again and stretched out her hand.

"Give it to me. This time it will be honest. ”

Naruse looked at her for a few seconds and gave her his hand.

Holding his hand, she closed her eyes and continued.

"I didn't sleep at first, because I tortured the light...... Don't ask why, she cares a lot about what I do.

I couldn't help sleeping, and when she was a little sleepy, I pretended to get up, and then she would press her back into the bed.

This was repeated a dozen times, and finally she was tortured to sleep.

It was already two o'clock at that time, and when I wanted to go to bed, I found that I couldn't sleep willingly:

Someone I like comes to my house and is lying next to me, am I really doing nothing?

But what can I do?

Will it be discovered, and what will be the consequences? Am I ready to live with that now?

I thought about it for more than two hours.

The rain began at 3:14. ”

She paused for a long time, so long that Naruse thought she was asleep.

"Then I got up and went to the bathroom."

He pursed his lower lip, "And then I got up too." ”

"No ......"

She smiled, a sickly flush on her face.
