Following the sound of the door opening, a girl named Maeda Mayumi came, who was also Natsuki's part-time job junior. Mayumi always came on time, arriving half an hour before opening, and then working until six o'clock when she got home. She was also meticulous in her work.
If this coffee shop were to evaluate outstanding employees, she would definitely be able to beat Xia Zhi, the only employee in this shop, to win the crown.
"Good afternoon." Natsuki and Mayumi greeted.
"Is Natsuchi alone today?" Mayumi asked curiously: "Oh, by the way, Tachibana-senpai seems to be going to the city's pet hospital today to check up on the kitten, and if possible, he will also undergo surgery."
"I also asked why that guy didn't come here today. It turned out to be...wait a minute, surgery? What kind of surgery?"
Mayumi tilted her head and glanced at Natsuki: "Speaking of pets, what other surgeries can be performed? Of course it is sterilization surgery."
When Xia Zhi heard this, he almost crushed the cup in his hand.
"What kind of sterilization surgery should be done on a three-month-old kitten? Is there anything wrong with her brain?"
In order to save Xiaoxi's life, Natsuki felt that she should call Aya Tachibana. Mayumi on the side was also confused when she heard Natsuki's words: "Is that kitten only three months old?"
He took out his mobile phone, opened the address book, and quickly found Tachibana Aya's name. Xia Zhi called the other party. After a few beeps, the call was connected. What came out of the mobile phone was a highly recognizable message.
Tachibana Aya's voice: "Hello? This is Tachibana Aya. Is this Natsuki?"
"It's me. Where are you now?"
"Oh my, you actually asked about my whereabouts, did you find that you have fallen in love with me, a beautiful girl that everyone loves? But you can't be too anxious about this kind of thing, girls will hate you if you are impatient."
"Stop talking nonsense." If this was a comic book, Xia Zhi would have had several tic-tac-toes on his forehead: "Are you in the pet hospital?"
"...How do you know?"
"Already here? You didn't perform surgery on Xiao Xi, right?"
"It's not there yet, because Xiao Xi made a fuss on the way for a while, and it took a lot of effort on my part to catch it."
Is it because you felt that your life was about to be in danger? Well done, Xiaoxi, for successfully saving your own life.
"What do you want to do to a three-month-old kitten? You must never perform any sterilization surgery on it."
"But, don't all pets need sterilization surgery?" Tachibana Aya's confused tone was conveyed very clearly through the mobile phone.
"It's too early. Spaying it so early will kill it."
Although pets raised nowadays generally need sterilization surgery, this surgery will affect the growth of the pet. If surgery is performed on a three-month-old kitten, it will greatly affect the kitten's health.
and life span. Don’t ask Xia Zhi how he knows this. There is so much miscellaneous information on the Internet that you can’t even imagine it, and so is the authenticity of the content.
"...That's it. Do you want an injection?"
"The vaccine can be used. It's better to say that now is the time. If possible, give it a physical examination. For other things, listen to what the people at the pet hospital say and just do it." Xia Zhi said what he knew.
I told them all to Tachibana Aya.
"There are also pet quarantine certificates and health certificates." Maeda Mayumi reminded, and Natsuki repeated it to Tachibana Aya.
"Okay, okay, I understand. See you later." Tachibana Aya hung up the phone.
Although she is a little worried, Tachibana Aya probably wouldn't joke about such a thing.
"How's it going?" Mayumi looked at Natsuki with some worry. After all, she was the one who told Tachibana Aya that her pet needed to be sterilized. Although she didn't know that Xiaoxi was only about three months old, if Rika Aya really took it
If she found a pet hospital that was indifferent to the kitten's condition for surgery, she would probably be very sad, right?
"It's okay for now. I should just go for a check-up and get vaccinated." Xia Zhi also breathed a sigh of relief. When he saw that Tachibana Aya liked pets so much, he thought that Tachibana Aya knew something about raising pets, at least she would know some basic things.
That's right. But he still thought wrong - Tachibana Aya simply likes pets.
Although this is not a bad thing, for pets, it is better to have an owner who at least knows how to take care of them. Although these things are something that every pet owner should pay attention to and learn, but Xiaoxi knows how to take care of them.
I personally picked it up from the branches in the flower bed, and took it home to raise it. It only took a day or two, and it really didn't seem like I had given it a chance to learn these things.
"That's good." She breathed a sigh of relief and continued walking towards the staff room. There was still work to do and she had to change clothes before that. When she goes to school tomorrow, she must bring the most basic things with her.
Just tell Tachibana-senpai.
Xia Zhi picked up the cup again and started to wipe it. As the saying goes, if the cup is rubbed for a long time, will it become thinner and thinner? Probably, but how long it will take is hard to say. Maybe
Maybe Xia Zhineng wiped the cup away before leaving Japan.
After a while, Mayumi walked out of the staff room and came near Xia Zhi. When she saw Xia Zhi wiping cups on the counter, she knew that she probably had nothing to do for the time being.
While she was changing her clothes, she suddenly remembered something.
"Xia Zhi."
"Huh? What's wrong?"
Mayumi looked at Xia Zhi with a strange expression, which made Xia Zhi's expression also become strange.
"Why do you have Tachibana-senpai's phone number?"
Xia Zhi was a little confused: "It's just a phone call, isn't it normal? After all, we have known each other for so long."
"It's just over a month, is that long?" Mayumi patted the counter: "I have been in the same school as Tachibana-senpai for two years and in the same club for one year. I don't even have Tachibana-senpai's phone number."
Xia Zhi stared at Mayumi with wide eyes, as if to say: Are you kidding me?
"You are such a failure as a junior." It had been so long, and the relationship should be pretty good. Even without getting Tachibana Aya's phone number, Xia Zhi didn't expect that Mayumi would be such a reckless person.
Generally speaking, if you have known each other for such a long time, as long as the relationship is a little better, you should be able to get the other person's mobile phone number, or the friend status of the social account? After all, human beings are completely inseparable from social interaction.
.
"No way!" Mayumi slapped the counter angrily. Natsuki was a little worried about whether the counter would be cracked, but it was such a big thing and it was unlikely that it would be broken easily. "It's Tachibana.
Senpai never gives anyone her phone number. Every time someone wants to ask Tachibana-senpai for her phone number or other contact information, Tachibana-senpai will smile and push it away. Many juniors even cried because of this.
."
So it turns out that the problem is with Tachibana Aya? This is too real. No, wait a minute... This seems to be the most normal operation? So why doesn't Tachibana Aya give others her contact information? She's not afraid of...
When you are looking for someone, can't you find him?
Xia Zhi pondered for two seconds, "Because she often comes to my house to have a meal and won't go back to her apartment until 11 or 12 o'clock in the evening." Xia Zhi thought about this matter and decided not to say it because she said it.
It will probably cause indelible trauma to Mayumi's heart. After all, Natsuki is not a devil, so let's forget about it.
"Maybe it's because she often comes to me to ask for discounts?" Xia Zhi casually told a lie that seemed absurd, but was actually quite possible. It was a little unbelievable, but unexpectedly, Mayumi seemed to accept this statement.
Where are you nodding "I see, so that's it". It seems that you have accidentally done something bad?
"After all, Tachibana-senpai is a very frugal person." Mayumi gave her reasons. Natsuki couldn't hold it back and burst out laughing on the spot. Faced with Mayumi's confused look, Natsuki waved her hand and said
He said that he suddenly thought of something from the past and couldn't help but laugh.
Natsuki didn't lie this time. What came to mind was, of course, Aya Tachibana's sharp operation in playing krypton gold mobile games and spending money like water. Combined with what Mayumi said, "After all, Tachibana-senpai is a very frugal person."
I couldn't help but laugh out loud. Is there anything wrong with this? Tachibana Aya is so frugal, she is a frugal genius.
Similarly, this is probably something that is not suitable to be talked about, otherwise Tachibana Aya's image may completely collapse in Mayumi's heart. She is already about to graduate from high school, and Natsuki feels that she should save a little face for her.
Better. The other party should thank him, Xia Zhi, for his great kindness.
However, Natsuki probably learned one more thing, something not very important - Tachibana Aya was trying hard to maintain her image in the school. It was obvious that she was very attentive, and even Mayumi did not discover her true nature.
, let’s call it the essence. Therefore, everyone is working very hard to maintain their own image, and Xia Zhi feels like adults.
Disguise, and then blend in. I just don’t know whether she has blended in to school or blended into life. But, who can say that the self disguised with a mask is not herself, after all, no matter which image it is, it is him, right?
The so-called disguise, who doesn’t live with something like this?
Is it tiring to live life with a mask? People often say this. But who would have thought that it would be difficult to build a harmonious relationship between people if they don’t wear masks to get along.
You will tolerate yourself because you are yourself, and your family will tolerate you because you are their family, but to others, what do you mean? Just a passerby.
.People don’t need masks to live? It’s just nonsense.
after all--
The so-called life is an extremely grand and complete masquerade from beginning to end, isn't it?
