Chapter 354 Taking a bath together?
Sawayama Haruno's novels are very popular, but Sennan City is relatively far away, and there are few bookstores in the town, so not many people in his hometown know about his novels.
However, Sawayama Haruno still brought back a few autographed copies of the novel, and gave them all to his mother, so that she could give them away to relatives if they asked about them.
Although Ayako Sawayama was not interested in novels, she still collected them because they were written by her son and planned to read them in the evening.
As if he had anticipated the look his mother would give him after reading the novel, Sawayama Haruno, who felt somewhat awkward, quickly took the three girls on the train to meet up with the Miyazawa family, and even packed his luggage in advance.
After having another meal with the Miyazawa family, he immediately prepared to go back to Ayano Yui's house to stay for a while, so that his mother wouldn't look at him with weird eyes after watching the indescribable plots in "Norwegian Wood".
It is necessary to avoid risks.
Sitting on the train, Sawayama Haruno touched his slightly sore neck and looked curiously at Ayano Yui beside him.
"Wei, is your father still attending private school?"
"right"
Ayano Yui looked at her shoes and said absentmindedly, "I said before that I wanted to retire early, but then I gave up. I think I plan to work for another two years."
Her father works as a teacher in a cram school that specializes in private education. Although Quannan City is a small place, there is no shortage of cram schools everywhere.
After all, the scope of entrance examinations for universities in island countries is not the same, so more professional people are needed to help with tutoring. The so-called private school teachers not only teach things that cannot be learned in class, but are also responsible for giving students advice on the direction of further study.
Teachers in normal high schools rarely study the content of university entrance examinations. After all, there are too many of them. They even just muddle through the content of their normal lectures. Of course, they are not as attentive as private school teachers. This is why so many students in the island country take extra classes outside.
It can be said that if you don’t take extra classes, you will basically have nothing to do with university. After all, if you don’t even know the scope of the main exams every year, how can you review in a targeted manner?
When Sawayama Haruno was applying for the University of Tokyo, he also attended classes at a very famous cram school in Tokyo. The same was true for Miyazawa Mana and Mine Shiori. The three of them were students of the same institution.
Precisely because of the importance of cram schools, the salaries of teachers in private schools are actually relatively higher. This is the case with Ayano Yui's father. Her family has never had much financial burden since she was a child.
"It's been many years since we last met."
Sawayama Haruno said with some emotion.
"Not really. I've always taken pictures for him to see."
Ayano Yui looked at the space between herself and Sawayama Haruno, and after thinking for a moment, she took the initiative to move a little closer to the other party.
"Didn't I take pictures often when I was in Tokyo?" Ayano Yui came over and said with a smile, "So father still knows what Haruno has become now."
"Yeah."
Sawayama Haruno glanced at the other person with some concern.
The distance was a little too close. As soon as he turned around, he could see the other person's face so close to him. The slightly moving eyelashes made her look charming, and her bright and deep black pupils seemed to contain unknown emotions.
This guy seems to be getting more and more handsome. Do girls also have secondary development?
Sawayama Haruno couldn't help but hesitate, but Ayano Yui didn't give him too much time to think, but took the initiative to hold his hand.
They had agreed in the bathhouse that they would reconsider their relationship, but Ayano Yui was too proactive, and Sawayama Haruno couldn't refuse, so he could only let her lead him.
Anyway, we had already done something even more outrageous last night. So holding hands is actually the most PEACEFUL behavior. If she wants to hold hands, then let her hold hands.
"Is this all you have with you, bro?"
Ayano Yui felt the warmth in the other person's palm, and then glanced at the suitcase in front of her. She couldn't help but ask curiously, "I see you haven't packed much."
"For my job I only need to bring a computer, so I don't need too many clothes. Two or three sets will be enough to wear until I return to Tokyo." Sawayama Haruno said without thinking.
His luggage has always been simple. Anyway, Ayano Yui's home has daily necessities and other things. If it really doesn't work, he will go out and buy some more.
This mission was not to have fun, he just borrowed a place to work. If he really wanted to have fun, he would have asked the other three girls to go out together.
However, there are not many places to play in Quannan City.
"The next stop is"
The sudden broadcast in the train interrupted Sawayama Haruno's thoughts.
Ayano Yui had already jumped up from her seat. She stretched and said casually, "We're here. Let's get off."
The two families are quite close to each other, and it doesn't take too much time to take the tram. The reason why we don't walk is because we have to go around a large circle, which is not as convenient as taking the tram.
Sawayama Haruno took Ayano Yui's luggage on his own initiative and started walking out of the station according to his vague memory.
Before we set out to catch the tram, it was not yet completely dark, but in just ten minutes or so, the night had already fallen and the temperature had dropped suddenly.
It was not until a snowflake landed on his shoulder that Sawayama Haruno was somewhat surprised to realize that it was snowing.
Because it is close to the sea and the mountains, it can be really freezing when it snows in this kind of place. Once the cold air blows in from the sea, it will be blocked by the mountains and will continue to stay in the sky above the local area and hover back and forth.
The weather forecast said that the snow would last about ten minutes, but based on experience, it would take at least an hour. I guess by the time it's over, the streets would be covered with another layer of snow.
Such a sudden change in weather caused the unprepared Ayano Yui to sneeze. The tip of the pigtailed girl's nose was red, and she looked like she was severely frozen.
Sawayama Haruno took the initiative to call the other party.
"Wei, wait a moment."
".Um?"
Ayano Yui stopped obediently and looked at her brother in confusion.
The other person unbuttoned his coat without thinking and then put it on Ayano Yui.
"Okay, let's go." Zeshan Haruno said concisely. He was worried that the other party would catch a cold, but it didn't matter to him. The temperature was not enough to make him catch a cold.
"Hehe, brother is so nice"
Ayano Yui tightened her coat and gave a playful smile.
There were many familiar smells on the coat, and Ayano Yui, who often relied on this smell to comfort herself, was naturally not unfamiliar with it. However, this time the other party took the initiative to hand it to her, which was somewhat different from her previous behavior of taking it away secretly.
Haruno, are you finally willing to let go of the grudge in your heart?
Ayano Yui pursed her lips, and her face gradually turned red as she recalled the crazy behavior of last night.
That was the first time she had touched the other person so actively, and the first time was in front of Miyazawa Mana. Even Ezaki Suguha who was not far away seemed to notice her little movement. It was so exciting at that time.
Besides, she ate it all afterwards.
Haruno didn't particularly resist at the time, partly because Miyazawa Mana was next to him, and partly because he also wanted to start over with her.
However, Ayano Yui feels that starting over is too slow. Since Haruno no longer regards her as the little sister she used to be, she might as well make it a fait accompli tonight!
She has already made very detailed arrangements. Haruno doesn't know that his parents are not at home tonight. She will just break into his room when they go to bed at night. The next plan is clear without further explanation.
It couldn't be more perfect. For this reason, she even paid out of her own pocket and took some money out from her small treasury to let her parents stay overnight in a hot spring hotel not far away. It was not until they returned home the next day that they found out that Haruno was staying at their house.
"It's a pity that Suguha refused to give me the medicine." Ayano Yui thought.
In order to make the plan foolproof, she actually wanted Ezaki Naoha to give her the bottle of medicine that knocked Haruno down, but Ezaki Naoha refused to do so and said that Haruno was immune to this drug. Even if he took the whole bottle, the only one who would suffer in the end would be Ayano Yui.
Forced by Ezaki Suguha's serious look, Ayano Yui had to give up the idea even though she was unwilling.
However, she had prepared other killer moves. She had hidden a set of killer underwear in her room a long time ago, which might come in handy tonight.
While Ayano Yui was still immersed in her own beautiful fantasy, Sawayama Haruno beside her spoke with some surprise.
"We're here, but why are all the lights in your house off?"
"Eh?"
Ayano Yui quickly came to her senses and said with an innocent look, "I don't know, maybe my parents are out?"
"Are you still outside at this hour? It's snowing now."
Zeshan Haruno looked up with some concern, and then urged: "Send a message to your parents, and tell them that I'm coming home."
Because the Sawayama family and the Ayano family have been friends for generations, Sawayama Ako never called to say that her son was going to live over there for a while. She thought it wouldn't be too late to tell the other party after Haruno arrived, but she didn't expect to find that the Ayano family had all gone out when she ran over.
This was a bit awkward, and Sawayama Haruno felt it was necessary to tell the other party before spending the night there.
"You can send it later."
Ayano Yui said perfunctorily: "Let's go in first. It's too cold outside with the snow. Let's go in and take a shower first."
"Too."
Sawayama Haruno thought about it and decided not to take it to heart. Ayano Yui would probably explain the situation to her parents anyway.
The snow outside was getting heavier and heavier. It seemed that the estimate made an hour ago had underestimated it. The chill that could be felt now was much lower than the lowest temperature in the weather forecast.
Although he was not afraid of the cold, he would feel uncomfortable if he was exposed to the cold for too long, so Sawayama Haruno stopped worrying about other things and followed Ayano Yui into the house.
Ayano Yui's home is very different from his. If you have to say, Ayano's home is actually somewhat similar to Esaki Suguha's house in Denenchofu. Both are retro Japanese-style mansions with wooden floors and an open courtyard. The door is usually closed to prevent the wood inside the house from getting damp.
Unlike the room layout of the Sawayama family, the Ayano family does not have a second floor, only a large flat on the first floor. Sawayama Haruno's room is closely adjacent to Ayano Yui's room, and the wardrobes in the two rooms are connected, so you can go through one of the wardrobes to the other person's room.
When she was a child, Ayano Yui would often secretly open the closet in the middle of the night, crawl into Sawayama Haruno's room, and then run over to sleep together. Because this happened so many times, gradually even her parents became accustomed to running to Haruno's room to wake her up.
Of course, as they grew older, Sawayama Haruno realized that he could no longer sleep with Ayano Yui, so he rarely went to Ayano's house since elementary school, and even if he wanted to stay, he would not allow Ayano Yui to crawl into his room through the closet.
After entering junior high school, he never stayed in the dormitory again, but Ayano Yui still enjoyed invading his room and lying on his bed to rest.
After entering the room and looking at the familiar layout, even Sawayama Haruno couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
It seems that when he was away, the Ayano family still helped to clean the room, and the bed seemed to have been changed once. It was not the small bed he remembered, but a bigger one. The price was that the table was forced to be moved a little towards the door, but it was still acceptable.
"Brother, do you want to come over and take a bath?"
Ayano Yui's voice came from outside the room, interrupting his thoughts on his childhood.
Zeshan Haruno said casually: "You wash first, I will tidy up the clothes and bed first."
"What does it matter?"
Ayano Yui's voice sounded a little resentful.
"Wouldn't it be ok to just clean it up after washing it, or do you want to come and take a bath together?"
The bathtub in Ayano's house is very large, with a five-by-five layout. Not to mention two people, it is more than enough for one more.
When Sawayama Haruno was a child and had no independent ability, he and Ayano Yui were often forced by her parents to play in the bathtub to play in the water. It has been a long time since they last experienced this, but Sawayama Haruno is still a little hesitant. After all, things are a little different now than they were then.
As if she had noticed something, Ayano Yui spoke again before Sawayama Haruno could speak: "Put on a bath towel and come over. Is that okay?"
".All right."
Sawayama Haruno was defeated.
He brought bath towels and face towels in his suitcase to prevent such situations from happening.
It was just a bath anyway. For Japanese people, taking a bath with family members was a common thing. Sawayama Haruno hesitated for a moment before taking his clothes and preparing to go.
