Chapter 189 All the answers lie in Hokkaido (4K)

"Is this something that surprises you?"

Nanami held the grilled meat elegantly, even with iron tongs and a tray, making her feel like she was in a high-end Western restaurant.

For example, there are no bottle racks and hospital beds around, but round tables, red wine, and polite attendants.

Izumi Mio nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, very cute.

Natsume Naoki was stunned again, and an electric current flashed through his heart.

like……

Not that surprised yourself?

If you look carefully at the faces of these two people, they are completely different, and you can see some clues between their eyebrows.

But why did I always think that all pretty women are like this? Is it because they are beautiful?

Why is it that now that I have used my brain a little bit, I wonder why I couldn't see such a simple truth before?

And I always felt that Asai and Nanami's school doctor had similar temperaments.

For example, the attributes of Lezi people.

Asai was making a small fuss, while Nanami, the school doctor, was completely watching the fun and didn't mind the big deal.

"I... understand somewhat." Naoki Natsume said thoughtfully: "So Asai occasionally has a bad character, was it taught by you, the school doctor?"

Qi Haiye's expression paused when he heard this, and then he chuckled twice.

"Is there... anything funny?" Natsume Naoki was puzzled.

"She didn't learn from me, but from a mean-spirited little boy." Qihaiye suddenly felt melancholy: "But I don't remember the name of that little boy or what he looked like. It's only been ten years.

, but I seem to have forgotten a lot of things. If I wasn’t a medical student, I would have suspected that I was suffering from Alzheimer’s disease in advance.”

Natsume Naoki suddenly frowned: "Little boy?"

"Yes, she had a good relationship with that kid when she was a child. They were probably neighbors. I can't remember the rest." Qihaiye smiled and said, "Why, is the little guy jealous?"

"Please don't make fun of me," Natsume Naoki said with a firm look, with a see-through confidence in his eyes, "I won't be fooled like this."

I have been teased by Asai countless times in daily life, and I will no longer fall for verbal tricks like this.

I am no longer the same person who blushed when I heard that I was going to live with a girl at the beginning of spring!

On the other hand, Izumi Mio was worried when she heard Nanami asked if she was jealous, but when she saw Natsume-kun denying it so firmly, she felt a little relieved.

Nanami raised her eyebrows when she saw that the little guy had made some progress.

He has evolved a bit quickly, and it seems that it is not the time to use him casually for fun.

After listening to what Nanami said just now, Natsume Naoki had some more thoughts in his mind.

If you don't run away from the scumbag idea that is growing in your heart and admit that you actually have a slight liking for Asai...

It stands to reason that when I heard that Asai had a boy who played very well when he was a child, I should feel a little uncomfortable.

Although it's not as obvious as being jealous, it's a bit strange to be so blatantly indifferent and even feel normal.

If it wasn't that his feelings for Asai were fake, then there was something fishy about it.

When Nanami talked about Asai's childhood and the neighbor boy, Natsume Naoki felt an inexplicable familiarity, as if she had some impression of this boy.

"Could it be that I knew that boy when I was a child, maybe we even played well together, and we have a deep relationship, so we don't feel awkward or even jealous?"

If this is the case, it is the missing memory from before the age of eight.

Natsume Naoki murmured to himself, then looked at Nanami Ye: "Where did Asai live when he was a child?"

"Live in Sapporo." Nanami said without thinking.

"Hokkaido?" Obviously this answer was beyond Natsume Naoki's expectation.

"Why, judging from your expression, it seems that Asai's hometown is in Hokkaido, which is a very surprising thing to you? After all, Sapporo is also the fifth most populous city in Japan. It's not surprising that the people around you are from Sapporo." Nanami Night Stall

He raised his hand and said, "I am her aunt. Didn't she ever mention this to you when she lived in Sapporo when she was a child?"

Natsume Naoki shook his head, "Asai rarely tells me about her own affairs."

"Then what surprises you?"

"I am also from Sapporo, and I was surprised by the coincidence." Natsume Naoki replied: "My hometown is Teine Honmachi, which is a village at the foot of Teine Mountain. I heard that it was the first settlement of the Tokugawa shogunate to cultivate cold areas."

"I've heard of the cold village built by a group of twenty warriors." Nanami tilted her head: "Then if Asai and you were from the same village when they were young, wouldn't you be more surprised?"

It seemed that Asai didn't say anything, and this little guy really didn't know anything.

Nanami Ye thought this way, he didn't even know much about taking Asai in after the car accident, right?

strangeness……

But if you put it this way, does he really not know that his family is supporting a little girl whose parents were killed in a car accident?

Qihaiye noticed something was not right in his memory.

It seems that the part about Natsume's youngest son is too vague.

Looking back now, the amiable faces of Natsume and his wife are still vivid in my mind. When Asai's mother's surname was Nanami more than ten years ago, the two sisters knew the Natsume family, and they were long-standing acquaintances.

After all, the village is only that big, and the elder sister married into a family named Asai in the village, and she was always in the village.

It stands to reason that I should be very familiar with Natsume's family, and I should have met their children.

At least a well-connected wealthy family in the village raised a boy. She didn't say she had witnessed him grow up, nor would they be strangers to each other when they reunited in the university infirmary many years later.

That day, I heard Asai call him Natsume, and I realized that this was the youngest son of Natsume's family who was fostered in Tokyo.

So Nanami hopes to see the shock and confusion she hopes to see on Natsume Naoki's face.

Perhaps it was just that the two of them had not seen each other for a long time and were not familiar with each other, so they did not recognize each other.

But contrary to her expectation, Natsume Naoki didn't show too much shock, especially after hearing that he and Asai were from the same village.

On the contrary, Natsume Naoki fell into a state of deep thinking.

The intelligence that often appeared in Amamiya Chizuru's mind has temporarily returned to its rightful owner.

"What's the problem? How close did I and Asai live so close when we were young..." Natsume Naoki frowned slightly and muttered to himself: "But why don't you have any impression of Asai in your mind?"

I vaguely remember that the surname Asai exists in the village, but I really can't remember who is in that family.

hiss!

The untouchable memory fragment scratched him again, causing his slightly frown to suddenly tighten, as if a needle had been inserted between his eyebrows.

The hallucinations that occurred during his inner struggle after washing Asai's quilt last time came to mind again. He felt like there was a mirror in his mind. He stood in front of the mirror and faced each other, but he couldn't see his own face clearly in the mirror. It was a bit strange.

But what is more familiar is that it is myself.

I wanted to reach out and touch it, but my fingers were scratched by the broken mirror, and I was stopped by the falling fragments.

"Perhaps, I can learn something from my childhood diary when I go home during the summer vacation." Natsume Naoki vaguely felt that the answer to all lies in the small village of Sapporo, Hokkaido...

Izumi Mio on the side listened to all the conversation between Natsume-kun and Nanami's school doctor.

The doubts in her heart became more and more heavy.

Isn’t Asai-kun Natsume-kun’s childhood sweetheart?

Why does Natsume-kun seem so unfamiliar with Asai-san’s past?

Hokkaido……

I went there when I was a child, and now all that remains in my memory are the snow-capped mountains, small houses, and the sky full of firelight.

I’ll ask Xiaohui later if she has any arrangements for her summer school trip!

Somehow Izumi Mio felt that she should go to Hokkaido this summer vacation.

……………………

On the other side, after receiving information that was completely contrary to her own memory, Amamiya Chizuru left the auditorium and wandered around the school aimlessly.

The excitement around her seemed to have nothing to do with her. She lowered her head, looked at the ground and thought about something, and followed the crowd towards the busiest place.

"The car accident in Hokkaido." She felt that her head was in a mess, like a knife that was rusty and not as sharp as before. She bit her nails subconsciously and muttered to herself: "If you want to find out more accurate information, you still have to do it yourself.

Want to go to Hokkaido... But that place..."

She really didn't want to go back to the land that made her sad, the city that took away her mother.

"Can you sell this knot to me at a cheaper price?"

A familiar voice interrupted Amamiya Chizuru's thoughts. She looked up and saw Asai stopping in front of a stall selling souvenirs.

"Our club makes them purely by hand. Since you are an alumnus, they are already very cheap." The classmate who set up the stall was a little embarrassed: "Maybe if you buy two, we can give you a little cheaper."

Another girl at the stall chimed in: "My mother works at Izumo Taisha Shrine. She brought the raw materials for these knots from the shrine and prayed for them. My mother often said that sincerity will lead to success. If you bargain, but

It lacks sincerity.”

Most of the vendors selling such religious items would use the pretense of sincerity to raise the price. Asai didn't believe this at first, but when he thought about the purpose of buying the knot, he hesitated to continue bargaining.
