As expected, the store manager didn't come that afternoon. He just sent an email saying that he suddenly had something to do today, so he wouldn't go there. Natsuki and Mayumi discussed it and went back for dinner a little earlier than usual, otherwise the time would be up.
It may be too late.
It was about ten minutes before five o'clock, and Xia Zhi was ready to leave. There were not many customers in the store at this time. Mayumi could take care of her well by herself, and Xia Zhi felt more at ease.
"Then I'll come back as soon as I finish eating. I shouldn't delay your return home."
"I'm not really worried about this. It's okay if you don't have to be in such a hurry. By the way, you asked Tachibana-san to charge and recharge the phone. I wanted to discuss it with Tachibana-san today, but I couldn't even get through on the phone." Mayumi replaced Natsuki and stood there.
Inside the counter.
"Do you have any questions you want to ask? Or I can ask them for you."
"It's about getting into higher education. As for Sister Tachibana, I remember that she compiled the study materials for the Tokyo University entrance examination. I would like to ask if she still has those materials. If she has those materials, it should be easier to study.
"
"Are you from Dongda University?" Xia Zhi's expression changed slightly.
"Well, Sister Tachibana's grades are stable enough to be admitted to Tokyo University. Moreover, Sister Tachibana also gave the only recommended spot in our school to another girl in the same class. She is very powerful and very popular.
Although I don’t know why it turned out like this in front of you." Mayumi spread her hands and said, "To be honest, it’s weird that Tachibana-san would go to Chiba University. Don’t forget this, Natsuki."
"...Thank you for telling me this." Xia Zhi nodded.
"Sister Tachibana may say that I talk too much, so don't tell her. I don't think anyone can see your affairs clearly except yourselves. Although it's not good to talk too much, I still think you know about it.
Better. If you betray me, I will curse you."
"No...then I'll go back first."
"Well, see you later. By the way, if you go back, just ask Tachibana-san to call me, or I can call her in the evening."
Xia Zhi nodded and walked out of the store. Although it was rare to go back alone, Xia Zhi's mood was not as calm as before.
Back in the apartment, Xia Zhi opened the door, and a noisy sound came from the living room. It seemed that Xia Meng and Tachibana Aya were playing chess. The sound of Xia Zhi opening the door also disturbed the two of them, and Tachibana Aya was also disturbed.
She ran over like a witch, and Xia Zhi thought she would be slapped on the ground by her paw and unable to get up, but Tachibana Aya started shouting.
[ www.biqugex.me] “Where are my things!?”
"What?" Xia Zhi looked confused, but Tachibana Aya opened her mouth: "I obviously sent you an email, asking you to buy two pens for me when you come over."
Xia Zhi checked his phone and found that there was indeed such an email, but it should have been when he just left home for the coffee shop. Xia Zhi didn't seem to notice it.
"Sorry, I didn't see it. I'm going to buy it now. Anyway, I haven't changed my shoes yet." Xia Zhi turned around and walked out the door, but Tachibana Aya grabbed her by the back collar: "I won't go now.
, it’s quite troublesome to go all the way there. By the way, what’s wrong with you, why do you feel a little..."
Tachibana Aya frowned, as if trying to think of a suitable adjective to describe Xia Zhi's current state, which made Xia Zhi become confused: "What's wrong with me?"
"Should I say there's something wrong? But forget it. I'm hungry! Hurry up!" As she said that, she pulled Xia Zhi back, and Xia Zhi almost fell to the ground. She said it wrong just now.
She is not a witch, she is a long-tongued monster.
"You go and play on the sofa, and I'll cook for you."
He was pulled into the kitchen by Tachibana Aya, and he watched her run towards him, looking at him with a smile: "Hurry up! I want to eat something delicious!"
"I understand. But you already know all the dishes I can cook. If you want delicious food, you have to ask Lihua." Xia Zhi was a little helpless, but Tachibana Aya shook her head: "Lihua is Xiaolihua, you
It's you, this is different. I want something delicious!"
Tachibana Aya repeated what she just said, then kissed Xia Zhi on the face, and quickly slipped away. In the kitchen, Xia Zhi heard Tachibana Aya say, "Keep going, I feel like I'm about to win."
", and Mengmeng's voice: "No matter how I look at Sister Tachibana, you are hopeless."
Natsuki prepared dinner. Although Tachibana Aya said she wanted to eat delicious food, Natsuki only knew a few things. At most, plus some of the things Shiraishi Reika taught her to make, there were only a dozen dishes.
In addition, there are restrictions on the ingredients... In the end, the only thing that could satisfy Tachibana Aya's wish was fried baby potatoes.
Thinking that there weren't many left, Xia Zhi cleaned the small potatoes, fried them all, and then stir-fried a side dish and a vegetable soup, and that was basically it. Learning to cook is a long road ahead.
Far.
"It's time to wash your hands and get ready to eat." Xia Zhi shouted in the kitchen and walked out of the kitchen with a plate. Tachibana Aya waved her little hand... The flying chess board was swept aside by her. Xia Zhi's eyes twitched: "Okay
tidy."
"We have something to do later, don't worry about it." Tachibana Aya stood up and pulled Xia Meng towards the bathroom. Xia Zhi put the food on the table and went back to get the dishes and chopsticks, but when Xia Meng came back
Both Tachibana Aya and Tachibana washed their hands and sat down at the table, making Natsuki think this was a turn-based game.
"Oh, by the way, Cai, is your phone out of battery?" Xia Zhi remembered what Mayumi told her before she came over: "She said she had something to talk to you about, but your call couldn't be reached."
Aya Tachibana took out her phone and took a look at it: "Hmm... It seems like it. Natsuki, please lend me your charging cable."
"It's in the first cabinet behind the table in the room. You can look for it yourself later. It would be better if you use my mobile phone to call Mayumi after dinner."
"Okay... okay." Tachibana Aya held her chin: "I don't know what Mayumi wants from me. Could it be a speech or something..."
"It's just... you'll know if you ask." Natsuki thought for a while. If she told Tachibana Aya that she was looking for study materials, Tachibana Aya might guess that she would be assassinated by Mayumi. Natsuki picked up the chopsticks and ate.
After dinner, Tachibana Aya stared at Natsuki for a long time, thoughtfully.
