At eight o'clock in the evening, Xia Zhi, who got off work on time, briefly checked the store, and then took Xiao Xi, who had been playing by himself in the staff room for several hours, to go home. Xiao Xi seemed to have no energy, and Xia Zhi watched in the staff room.
He was asleep when he arrived.
After all, it is such a big place and there are no toys for it to play with, so it is normal for it to feel tired soon.
"Although it's boring to stay there, I can't let you run around in the store..." Xia Zhi rubbed Xiao Xi's head: "Whenever you become a girl, you can help in the store
Already."
"Meow?" I don't know if Xiao Xi understood it, but Xia Zhi just made a joke.
He took Xiao Xi back to the apartment and gave him a bath. After giving him a bath, he became energetic again and ran around the house like a playground. As for Xia Zhi... he finished bathing Xiao Xi.
Then today’s study began.
Sometimes Xiao Xi is a good child, and sometimes she is a bit naughty. She will come over and write when Xia Zhi is doing exercises, or she will lie on her head and meow on her shoulders, so that Xia Zhi will not be too bored while doing exercises.
.
After finishing his homework, he gave it to Xia Meng to check, and then made another phone call to discuss the conversation. It was only eleven o'clock in the evening when it ended. Xia Zhi felt a little at a loss as he had nothing to do so early. After thinking about it,
, just lying on the sofa and started playing with Xiaoxi.
He raised his two hands and let Xiao Xi jump up and down on the palms, occasionally changing the position of his palms, which was considered as training for Xiao Xi. Xiao Xi did not miss a beat, and was actually having a good time.
This can be considered a physical exercise to some extent, right? Xia Zhi tried to convince himself.
Playing with Xiao Xi until twelve o'clock, Xia Zhi took a simple bath and then got ready to go to bed. Xia Zhi prepared a mat on the ground for Xiao Xi, but it didn't seem to like it very much, just because he had already taken a bath.
He jumped directly onto the bed and lay on the quilt on Xia Zhi.
It wasn't heavy anyway, so Xia Zhi didn't care. After saying good night to Xiao Xi, Xia Zhi closed her eyes. When she opened her eyes again... it was when Xiao Xi was patting her face with her paw.
After waking up, Xia Zhi picked up the phone and took a look. It was okay. It was ten minutes earlier than the alarm clock she set. Xia Zhi suspected that Xiao Xi was used to waking people up at this time, but someone was too lazy and failed to live up to expectations.
, so this time is usually after getting up and then sleeping for a while.
Xia Zhi got up, and Xiao Xi continued to sleep next to her. She prepared breakfast and lunch as usual, the only difference was that the amount was less than before... okay, a lot less, but there was still something to prepare for Xiao Xi.
meal.
If I had known that it would be like this, I should have asked Tachibana Aya for the key before, so that I could at least get the cat food prepared for Xiaoxi from her home.
After having breakfast and preparing Xiaoxi's food, Xia Zhi went to school. As usual, Xia Zhi was still alone when she arrived at school. Not long after, Shiraishi Lihua also came to the classroom.
Shiraishi Reika said hello to Natsuki who had been sitting in the classroom studying for a while.
"Good morning, Xia Zhijun."
"Good morning." Xia Zhi couldn't contain his curiosity and asked tentatively: "Well...how do you feel?"
"Huh? Oh... If you are asking Tachibana-san, I asked Chijima-san to teach Tachibana-san some simple housework so that she would not be too bored. Then I asked Yueyue-san to take Tachibana-san for a run at noon, and then in the evening
Let's make some simple snacks with Tachibana-san. Tachibana-san will probably be very happy."
…
Xia Zhi felt that she would only be happy when eating snacks at the end.
But at least Tachibana Aya should have a more fulfilling life.
Natsuki prayed for Tachibana Aya.
Perhaps because of the sanctions against Tachibana Aya, Shiraishi Rika seemed to be in a good mood. When she was sitting in the classroom reading, she would occasionally peek at Natsuki for a while. As for how Natsuki knew...
Occasionally, Xia Zhi felt quite embarrassed when they looked at each other during class.
It's just that neither of them seemed to notice that the classmate sitting between them was so twitchy during class that he couldn't let go.
What she didn't expect was that such days would last for several days.
It wasn't until school was over at noon on Saturday that she hurriedly packed her schoolbag, looking relieved.
Xia Zhi saw that she had also packed her schoolbag, and Shiraishi Lihua came over.
"Xia Zhijun, are you free today?" Shiraishi Lihua asked. Xia Zhi tried to see something from her usual warm smile, but he did not have such super powers.
Xia Zhi nodded: "Yes, I don't have to work today. I'm still thinking about what to do after I go back at noon."
"Then, do you want to go out and play together?"
Now when Xia Zhi hears the word "play", his heart beats twice faster, and then he quickly turns his attention to what happened before.
She shook her head quickly to get rid of those messy thoughts. Shiraishi Rika was not an unreliable girl like Tachibana Aya, so she thought about all the messy things.
"Can't it?" Shiraishi Lihua wrung her fingers with some regret.
"No! Of course, let's go out and play together." Xia Zhi hurriedly explained, and Shiraishi Lihua's expression quickly became cheerful again.
"What? I just heard you said you were going out to play. Where are you going to play?" Ryoko Yamamoto also came over.
Shiraishi Rika turned her head with a smile: "Ryoko, you are at home today and playing with the wrong questions I have collected for you these past few days."
"...Huh?" Ryoko Yamamoto's eyes widened, her mouth opened wide, with a look of disbelief on her face: "You, you don't want to play with me?"
Shiraishi Rika approached Yamamoto Ryoko and whispered a few words. Yamamoto Ryoko showed huge hesitation and struggle on her face, and then began to bargain.
"Two days, today and tomorrow to finish it."
"You can finish those questions in one day."
"After doing this, half my life is gone!"
"As long as you believe in your own words..."
"Just two days!"
Shiraishi Rika sighed: "Okay, okay. Two days, but you can't leave any wrong questions. Two days is a bit too much time."
"Deal!" Ryoko Yamamoto patted Shiraishi Rika's palm, and she became happy. Chao glanced at Xia Zhi and said, "Then I'll go play by myself! See you tomorrow, no, the day after tomorrow!"
Yamamoto Ryoko took her schoolbag and ran away. Shiraishi Rika looked at Xia Zhi and breathed out lightly: "Then, let's go too."
