On the night when she was relieved of the burden of the handicraft society, Naoko still couldn't sleep well, tossing and turning, and didn't fall asleep until two or three o'clock in the morning.

The next morning, when Naruse woke up, she was still asleep.

“……”

Looking at his girlfriend, who was still sleeping deeply, he touched her face with the back of his hand, smoothed her frowning brow, and sighed silently.

slept in the same bed, although she deliberately controlled the frequency, but she tossed and turned, how could she avoid him.

Was it because of what he said last night?

Naoko was very polite to her adoptive parents, even too polite, and even regarded every love they had as a favor to be repaid.

He didn't want her to continue to carry such a heavy and unnecessary psychological burden, but she just avoided his questions, and even used her body to gag him in the end.

He wanted to solve the problem step by step, but the first step he had just taken seemed to be quite intense for Naoko, and he could only hold it down for the time being.

Plus what's going on on his side......

Naruse soon found that his brow was furrowed deeper than Naoko in her sleep.

“……”

Turning over and lying down for a while, he got up and got out of bed and came to the window.

The festival seems to be coming to an end after a few days of complete sunshine, with a few large clouds floating in the sky, light or dark, which may be a precursor to a violent storm or a brief overcast cloud.

Summer is over, after all, there is still more than a month before winter, and it is not yet the time for the clouds and snow all day......

Coming back to his senses, he lowered his gaze and looked at the house of the Hua family opposite.

He remembered that around ten o'clock this morning, someone would bring something over, and after looking at the time, it was already past nine o'clock.

Let Naoko continue to fall asleep, Naruse changed her clothes, went downstairs to wash, and prepared some breakfast to fill her stomach.

He went upstairs to get a book, sat on the sofa and waited, and when it was almost ten o'clock, he faintly heard the sound of a car tire running over the ground.

There was a car parked outside.

It should be a colleague of Naoko's parents.

Naruse was holding the book, not very sure, so he waited for the other party to come and knock on the door.

And this wait is half a day, he still can't help but open the door and look.

There was indeed a car parked outside the courtyard, and the person who got out of the car was ringing the doorbell at the door of this flower's house.

After a long time of no response, he had already taken out his mobile phone and was on the phone.

“……”

Forgot!

Naruse hurriedly went over and told the other party that Naoko was on his side.

"Huh?"

The man was holding his phone and talking to the person on the other side.

"Wait...... A boy came over, who seemed to live nearby, and said that your daughter was at his house...... Spring Sea? Are you Harumi? ”

The last sentence is naturally asking Naruse.

"Yes."

He said yes...... Is it enough to give it to him? All right. ”

The man said a few more words, hung up the phone, and then picked up the two large boxes of things that had been placed at the door and gave them to him.

Naruse stretched out his hand to take it, and when he was unprepared, he almost failed to catch it.

"It's heavy! …… That's a lot. ”

"It's a lot, it's not easy to take, I'll help you move over."

Naruse was still able to move over by himself after two more trips, but he didn't refuse when someone helped.

"Thank you."

Carrying two large boxes of things home, the man looked at him and suddenly asked, "Is you Miss Matsuchiaki's son?" ”

“……”

Naruse raised his eyes and quickly nodded.

"Ah, sure enough! You look a lot like your mother. Mr. Hana gave me a copy of Miss Song's autograph before, saying that Miss Song was his neighbor, and I thought he was joking......"

He babbled a lot, frequently expressing his love and support for fucking to Naruse, and Naruse could only accept it with a smile, and finally did not forget to remind him not to tell anyone else the address.

"Of course I won't tell anyone! …… But do people who live nearby know that Miss Song actually lives here? ”

"Pretty much."

"Hey, if only I lived here."

However, his actual address is still thirty or forty kilometers away from here, but he is also the type who is busy until he goes home once in a few months or even half a year, and after staying for a while, he continues to rush back.

Sending people away, Naruse has time to go in and deal with the two large boxes of things.

When I came to the kitchen, I opened the carton and saw that it was packed with large pieces of beef and pork, and the heavy source was mainly the bagged ice cubes used to lock in the carton to lock freshness.

After cleaning up a little and confirming the amount of pork and beef sent by the Hua couple, Naruse was sure that it was not something that he and Naoko could eat in a few days, or in other words, they couldn't finish it in a week.

I had just put some of the meat in the refrigerator when I heard footsteps behind me.

He turned around, and it was Naoko who had come down from upstairs, her sleepy eyes and only the spirit of strength on her face.

"Woke up Naoko?"

"No...... It's Mom's phone. Naoko said with her phone, "She said that the things have been delivered, and I'll come down and take a look." ”

"It's all here." Naruse opened the refrigerator a little more, "It's already so much stuffed, and there's still a lot left, where can I finish eating." ”

"Not all of them are for us to eat, Mom said she would give some to Hikari, Starfish, and Ichiha."

"I see. Then I'll deliver it now, the fridge is almost full. ”

"Hmm."

The two sorted and matched a few strips of pork and beef for each family, and then packed them separately in bags.

Hanging the three bags on the motorcycle, Naruse looked at his girlfriend's status again, "Naoko should go sleep for a while, I'll be back when I'm done." ”

After working for so long, Shangzi was actually much more sober, but he really didn't have much energy, so he nodded and agreed.

When Naruse went out on a bicycle, the first thing he went to was the nearest Takigawa house.

It was Mrs. Takikawa who opened the door for him, but Hikaru Takikawa heard the movement and immediately came down from the stairs.

He put down his things and made it clear that the meat was sent by the couple and the flowers, but Mrs. Takikawa didn't care about the source of the meat, but was just very happy, saying that she was going to go to the supermarket to buy meat today and make pork cutlets at noon.

"Chunhai at noon, why don't you stay for lunch."

"Mom's fried pork cutlet tastes good." Hikaru Takikawa also said.

"No, I'm going to send the rest of the meat to Starfish and Morimi's house."

"Then let them come with you." Mrs. Takigawa said, "And Naoko." ”

She said so, and Naruse agreed.

"I'll go with Harumi." Hikaru Takikawa went out with him, and as soon as he got in the car, he hugged his waist tightly.

Naruse tilted his head slightly, "It doesn't hurt there." ”

“……”

Her face was hot, and then she pinched his face, "Why did Chunhai ask this as soon as he opened his mouth." ”

"There was a lot of blood yesterday." Their first occurrence occurred during the day, and he could see it clearly.

"I don't feel anything anymore." Hikaru Takikawa was lying on his back, "It hurt at first." ”

"Hmm."

Squeezing her hand, Naruse grabbed the handlebar, twisted the accelerator, and rode towards the Morimi bookstore.

She was here at the bookstore, giving the bag of meat, and then Hikaru Takikawa conveyed her mother's invitation, and she quickly nodded and agreed.

Hikaru Takikawa came down here, and Naruse rode forward again, coming to the starfish's house.

Carrying the meat in, the starfish happened to come down from the upper floor.

"You're coming to me? …… I happened to be going to look for you, too. ”
