When the four of them returned to the hotel together, it was already past twelve o'clock, and there was only a young man dozing off at the front desk.
Hoshino insisted on taking Weizi to sleep with him, but Qing Keisuke did not stop him, but instead told Weizi to be well-behaved.
He and Shiraishi watched Hoshino go upstairs first. Shiraishi noticed something unusual in Aoi Keisuke's attitude, so he stayed on the first floor and wanted to ask for answers.
Qing Keisuke just told her: "Weeping child is a fragile bubble."
He had a premonition that Hoshino Fujiko was heading toward collapse in despair.
It was not that she had forgotten the purpose of coming to Yuzawa, but that she lingered and was unwilling to wake up.
Such changes were beyond Qing Keisuke's expectations, but inexplicably, he was also looking forward to how this "hanging stone" would fall to the ground.
He patted Shiraishi Chizuru on the head and told her not to worry and to go back to bed early.
"Don't slap me on the head!"
Shiraishi jumped up and wanted to hit him, but Qing Keisuke pushed him back.
"Or do you want to rest in my room at night?"
"Never!"
The female doctor waved her fist angrily, ran to the corner of the stairs, and turned back to warn him: "Don't ruin my hard-fought trip."
"Really want to sleep in my room?"
"certainly not!"
Shiraishi ran away with a "kick, kick, kick, kick", and the noise was so loud that even the guy at the front desk was woken up.
"Ah, sorry, do you need accommodation?" he asked.
"No, I've already checked in."
Qing Keisuke answered and went upstairs.
I don’t know how long it will rain this night.
What he didn't know was that Hoshino even used the power of the Hoshino family for this rain.
In the second half of the night when the rain was about to stop, several rain bombs quietly hit the sky, taking away the water vapor brought by the typhoon and continuing to rain down Yuzawa.
For this reason, Yuzawa City has even launched corresponding emergency plans to prevent flash floods and other hazards.
The planning team of the Fuji Music Festival has also begun preparing to issue an announcement to postpone the performance.
Invisibly, it seems as if a string is getting tighter and tighter.
But all of this no longer had anything to do with Hoshino. She was lying on the warm bed, hugging her son, as if she had the most precious treasure in the world.
She had another dream.
In her dream, she was lying on a large, clear lake, with the sky above her head blue and a few white clouds floating slowly by.
The cool water washed over her body and soul, washing away the burden and pain from her body.
She smelled the smell of green grass and green leaves, and in the distance, there were songs and the laughter of children.
In this dream, she didn't think about anything, and for the first time she understood what happiness was.
…
Wenzi lay quietly on her side on the bed, holding the closed white umbrella in her arms, neither sleeping nor breaking away from Hoshino's arms.
She just looked at the night in the room and thought about the late night snack.
Hoshino's slow and gentle breaths were on her neck, making her feel a little itchy.
This itching is not uncomfortable.
It's more comfortable than spicy fried udon.
…
It rained all night, and finally it was dawn.
Today's Yuzawa is rarely in a gloomy state. The heavy dark clouds indicate that today's rain is far from over, and the drizzle may turn into a downpour at some point.
Tsukishima woke up early in the morning and roared helplessly when he saw the sky - it seemed that he could only go to the indoor exhibition hall today.
But apart from the mountains and rivers, what place in the countryside of Yuzawa can compare with Tokyo?
Shiraishi was a little confused, not sure if the rain had stopped last night.
Because she came back very late yesterday, she didn't bother to wake Tsukishima, so the Tokyo female teacher didn't know they had picked up a little girl.
If they met in the cafeteria later... Shiraishi felt a headache again, and finally secretly sent a message to Aoi Keisuke, asking him to ask Hoshino to take down the identity of Aiko.
Otherwise, that guy Tsukishima might take Weeping to the police station.
Aoi Keisuke didn't go out because it was raining, so he replied with an "OK" gesture and called Hoshino directly without worrying about disturbing other people's dreams.
The moment the phone was connected, Hoshino's angry question came from the other end of the phone: "What's the matter?"
Qing Keisuke said with a smile: "I'm going to take my son down for dinner."
Hoshino paused for a moment, as if he was taking a breath, feeling a sense of suffocation that he couldn't get out of his temper.
"Oh, by the way, remember to make up an identity for Weiko in front of Teacher Tsukishima."
"……knew."
…
"What's wrong?" Weizi turned back to look at her.
"It's nothing." Hoshino smiled at her: "Come on, I'll braid your hair."
"Oh~"
"When someone asks you later, just say she is my sister."
"younger sister?"
"Um."
Qianzi nodded obediently.
Hoshino wiped her face clean and arranged her hunting clothes.
In the mirror, a slightly playful little braid hangs down from one side of Weizi's smooth silver-white hair, adding a little vitality to her purity.
"Let's go, take you to have breakfast."
"breakfast?"
"It's delicious, just like the udon we had last night."
"Wei Zi wants to eat!"
When Hoshino brought Aiko to the restaurant on the first floor, Aoi Keisuke, Shiraishi and Tsukishima had already found their seats and were waiting for them.
"Qing Keisuke! Weizi wants to have breakfast!" Weizi came over holding an umbrella.
"This is?" Tsukishima was a little surprised.
"This is my sister. She came to play with me when I was in Yuzawa. Just call her Qianzi."
Tsukishima took a look at Weiko's cute little face, and he believed it inexplicably - only a wealthy family could have such a pampered look, right?
Shiraishi smiled and greeted the two of them to sit down.
"It's a pity that it rained today, otherwise I could have taken your sister out to play." Tsukishima said with a smile.
Hearing these words, everyone at the table looked strange, especially Qing Keisuke, who almost laughed out loud.
He said: "Let's have breakfast."
On this trip to Yuzawa, the original two people had grown to five people without realizing it, and even the breakfast became more lively.
Tsukishima also seems to like Aiko very much. He feels that the two sisters Fujiko and Aiko are like two extremes. Although Aiko is quiet, she is very well-behaved and has a pair of big, lively eyes that seem to be able to talk.
"But why does Aiko-chan keep holding an umbrella?"
"This is her beloved toy, a gift from her father." Hoshino replied.
A white umbrella as a gift?
Tsukishima looked strange and immediately did not dare to ask any more questions.
In addition, she also noticed that for some reason, Shiraishi looked familiar to Ibako... This strong sense of déjà vu brought extremely uncomfortable memories to her.
How many things did this guy do behind her back?!
As a best friend, she smelled betrayal.
"Weizijiang~ This is a meal from China, try it quickly!" Baishi twisted a small steamed bun.
Weizi immediately opened his mouth and swallowed the steamed dumplings, puffing out his cheeks and chewing them with gusto.
Tsukishima glanced at it for a few times, exclaiming how cute it was in his heart, and immediately decided to join the feeding team first, and then settle the score with Shiraishi slowly.
