When Naruse came out of the shower, Matsu Chiaki's phone had already hung up, and Naoko returned the phone to him, relaying her meaning by the way.

"Auntie asked Chunhai to call after she came out."

"I see."

She then stood up, "I'll go and wash my clothes." ”

She still remembered that Song Qianqiu just said that she wanted to talk to her son alone.

Naruse looked at her, and Naoko just smiled and went to the bathroom.

He sat down, wiped his hair casually, picked up his phone and dialed it back.

The call was quickly connected.

"Naoko?"

"She's gone to do the laundry."

Hearing his voice, Song Qianqiu didn't try again, "I didn't turn on the speakerphone." ”

"Hmm."

She got straight to the point: "How are Chunhai and Yiye doing now?" ”

“……”

Naruse subconsciously glanced in the direction of the bathroom.

"What's going on...... Not like that. ”

"Then what are you panicking about?"

“……”

He opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment, and couldn't even tell where he had just shown panic.

In just two sentences, his mother is almost figuring out his bottom.

"What else can I ......?"

Naruse took a deep breath to calm himself down, "It's not the same as before you went back to Tokyo. ”

Song Qianqiu let out a heavy sigh, and didn't ask if it was true or not, and then said:

"It's okay if you lie to your mother, but you have to understand that no matter what you do, it will leave traces."

Naruse was silent for a moment, "Hmm. ”

"You're just, huh?"

"And what else do I have to say?"

"What your mother means is that she's found out everything, and you'd better confess to her now, and make the poor old mother feel better."

"There's nothing to confess."

Naruse grabbed the towel again and wiped it on his hair twice.

He was more certain that she didn't know anything yet, or rather, that she had only noticed a little detail, but she didn't know the whole picture.

From just now to now, it is all a temptation.

"On the morning of the day I returned to Tokyo from Aomori, my mother smelled a leaf on Harumi." Song Qianqiu took out another little thing that he really mastered.

“……”

Naruse's heart pounded, and after thinking about it carefully, he realized that it was indeed true.

"Before parting, I hugged her a little."

"Is that all?"

"Hmm."

He was still so vague, and Song Qianqiu was helpless, after all, she was far away in Tokyo, and she couldn't judge the truth from her son's expression or other subtle reactions.

She knew nothing, she had no basis, everything was just her worst speculation.

Maybe what my son said was the truth.

"I don't have anything else to say, I just want to remind Harumi one last time: it's not what you think that matters, it's what you do. It is true that people are only responsible for what they have actually done, but sooner or later they will also be responsible. ”

Naruse pursed her lips, "I know." ”

"So be it."

"Rest early, good night."

"By the way, when Naoko asked, Chunhai said that I asked about some starfish."

“…… Well. ”

Toot –

The phone hung up.

Naruse pinched his phone, leaned back on the couch, and continued to wipe his hair mechanically.

After a while, Naoko came over from the bathroom.

"Did you call?" She sat down.

"Hmm." Naruse threw down the towel and phone, turned around, and buried his head in her neck, "Asked some starfish about them." ”

"Hmm...... It's itchy. Naoko shrunk her neck slightly, "The motorcycle thing?" ”

Naruse closed his eyes, "Almost." ”

"Auntie is really worried."

"When you are far away, you always think a little more and think a little more exaggerated...... Yuan Fu, who can only run up to 30 yards, may be a supercar with no brakes and no seat belts in her opinion. ”

Naoko smiled, holding his head with one hand and gently caressing his back with the other.

"I was so worried when I wasn't with Harumi."

“……”

Naruse pursed her lower lip and was silent for a long time.

Summer evenings are always lively, and in a house with only two children at home, a silent silence envelops each other.

For a moment, each other wanted to stay in this tranquility forever.

It's just a moment.

"Tonight, let's go to Naoko's room and sleep."

"Huh?"

"It's like it was said before." Naruse said, also sitting up, "I haven't slept in Naoko's room yet." ”

"Okay......"

"Isn't Naoko reluctant?" He asked, looking at her.

"It's just a bit of a hassle." She quickly hid a little embarrassment on her face, "Let's sleep over there tonight, I'll go over and clean up first." ”

"Do you still need to clean up, then forget it."

"Just clean it up, and it'll be fine soon."

Naoko got up and went back to her house first.

She came to clean up twice in three days, and there was nothing to clean up here, maybe only her own mood needed to be cleaned up.

She was indeed reluctant.

This is the home of this flower Naoko, not her and his.

But she also knew that he wanted to come here for the night, just to be fresh.

After going back to her room and cleaning up briefly, she quickly returned to Naruse's house.

"Shall it be over now?"

"It's just a matter of adapting in advance."

"What are you going to adapt to...... Then go ahead. ”

When he came to this flower house, Naruse didn't stop downstairs, and went directly to Naoko's room.

The air conditioner was turned on and the room was slowly getting cooler. The two sat for a while, and soon had nothing to do, so they simply turned off the light and lay down on the bed.

"It's a novelty."

"How can it be so novel......"

"It turns out that lying on Naoko's bed is what it feels like."

"What does it feel?"

She looked over, and he turned to look at her.

"Hmm......"

The two looked at each other in the dark, kissed, made out for a moment, and then lay down again, their bodies already uncovered.

"Naoko's parents won't come back suddenly at such a time."

“…… Not really. ”

"It's not a big problem to really come back, they should have almost seen our relationship."

Naoko was silent for a while, and then said, "If Mom and Dad want to come back, they will definitely greet me in advance." ”

She doesn't pick up stubble.

Naruse didn't say much on this topic either, and it didn't do any good to involve his parents in their relationship too early.

Especially now that this is the case......

Hearing his slight sigh, Naoko held her breath again and listened carefully, and when he spoke again, it was already a different topic.

"I lay in bed so early, and I really couldn't sleep."

"Hmm...... Do you want to keep doing it. ”

"Forget it."

She was breathless.

Sensing the gaffe, Naruse immediately made up for it: "I'm afraid I'll make Naoko's bed all over the place......"

She thumped him on the arm.

"It's not always ......"

"Yes." Naruse rolled over and kissed his girlfriend's lips, one hand already expertly exploring.

After a few tosses, the bed still became a lot of mess.

The lights in the room that had been turned off early were turned off and on, and the two cleaned up, and then went downstairs to the bathroom to rinse each other off, and when they returned to the upstairs room, it was not so early.

Lying down in the dark again, Naruse suddenly sighed.

"This is probably the main entertainment of people in the evening."

Naoko lay in the crook of his arm, "I can't stand it if I do it every day......"

Naruse bowed his head, "Are you tired?" ”

"A little."

"Then go to sleep."

The two of them adjusted their sleeping positions, and Naoko still snuggled up to him.

Naruse stopped talking and gently stroked his girlfriend's back, and soon felt her breathing gradually become slow.

She snuggled tighter, too.

Sooner or later, a person has to take responsibility for what he has done, and of course he understands this and does not shirk his responsibility.

"When we are old, we will go and get married." He bowed his head and kissed Naoko's forehead and whispered softly.

She was already half-asleep and half-awake, her ears were confused, and her responses were intermittent.

"Hmm...... Tie the knot...... Chunhai is the only thing I can rely on to stay here......"

His eyes were suddenly sour, and he closed his eyes and hugged his girlfriend tightly.
