Time passed, and it was already Sunday morning. The sunlight penetrated through the gaps in the curtains, illuminating the entire room. The dazzling light fell on the young man's face, causing him to frown inadvertently, and turned his back to
Sunlight.
The quality of the curtains is pretty good, but they can only be used to block the view from the outside world. Its special design with many tiny gaps is its biggest flaw as a curtain. Even if it is closed twice, the entire room will not change.
It has to be darkened.
But Xia Zhi was used to it. It would be better to say that such a small amount of light could not resist his sleepiness at all. Last night, in order to avenge his son, he traveled through most of Egypt (maybe not that big), and ran until five in the morning before he fell into a coma. Only now
It's ten o'clock in the morning, which is quite early considering the time, isn't it?
There is nothing more comfortable than going to bed early in the morning and staying up all night!
However, his cell phone rang mercilessly. The brisk music echoed in the small room. Xia Zhi had never hated this damn song so much. It was a call ringtone, not the same as an alarm clock, and Xia Zhi
Zhiya didn’t ask for trouble by setting an alarm for himself on Sunday.
With his head buried in the pillow, he groped slowly with his right hand, and finally found the cell phone that kept ringing on the bedside table. He answered the phone in a daze and put it to his ear.
"Hello……"
Whether Xia Zhi, who was in a semi-conscious state, had to think about whether his tone of voice would bring bad thoughts to the other party was no longer something he had to consider.
"Good morning Xia Zhijun!"
Unlike Xia Zhi, who was lifeless, this was a voice full of vitality.
Who...
Xia Zhi recalled the owner of the voice. Before he could figure out the result, the other party had already announced his identity.
"Me! Ryoko!"
"Um……"
Ryoko? Oh, Ryoko Yamamoto...Why are you calling me so early? It's only...9:30 in the morning...
"Uh-huh! Open the door quickly, Lihua and I are downstairs in your apartment!"
"……ha?"
Xia Zhi's mind gradually woke up when he heard this sentence, but he still couldn't figure out the situation.
"Why are you downstairs in my house?"
"Hey, I sent you a text message last night, right? I said I wanted to come to your house to play."
"..." Xia Zhi turned his head and looked at his phone, and finally found an unread text message, and the time was... when he was in Egypt to avenge his son...
"...Wait a moment." Xia Zhi hung up the phone, tried his best to prop up his body, and then sat up on the bed. When he was about to get up, the sole of his foot touched a cold can.
Xia Zhi lowered his head and saw that it was yesterday... no, it was one of the culprits that caused him to finally pass out in the early hours of this morning. Xia Zhi had heard people say that staying up late drinking could stimulate his spirit and prevent him from falling asleep, but the facts proved what he said.
Completely contrary to the truth.
Xia Zhi suddenly realized something and looked around the room. The beer can was placed beside the bed, a pillow on the tatami was squeezed out of shape, and the handle connected to the laptop with a black screen was still glowing...
It doesn't seem like it's appropriate to let guests in...
After a few quick moves, I threw the pillow on the bed, closed the laptop on the tatami and placed it on the desk, removed the handle, and threw the can into the trash can nearby. Done.
After understanding all this, Xia Zhi walked towards the entrance.
Outside the apartment, two girls were standing in the sunshine observing the apartment, and passers-by often turned back because of their beauty.
"Ryoko, as expected, it's not a good idea to disturb Natsuki-san by coming here so early in the morning, right?"
As the eldest lady of the Baishi family and the future heir of the Bai Group, she adheres to the family's emphasis on etiquette, and it is obviously not appropriate to go to other people's homes early in the morning (although it is not early in the morning)...
"It's okay. I made an agreement with Xia Zhijun yesterday." Liangzi patted her chest, as if you can rest assured that I will do the work. But Lihua, who knew the characteristics of her friend, seemed even more uneasy.
Because she was captured alive by Liangzi who was hiding in the alley this morning while running outside and dragged all the way here... Actually, that's not right. At Lihua's strong request, she returned home and changed her clothes.
.
"Speaking of which, the apartment Xia Zhijun lives in looks very old."
Liangzi commented on this apartment building to herself. Although her voice was not loud, it was still heard by Lihua on the side.
"It's too rude to say that, Ryoko."
"Lihua, you are in such trouble..."
Why am I suddenly disliked!?
One of the doors in the apartment building suddenly opened, and Xia Zhi poked his head out of the door frame with a listless look. At a glance, he saw two girls who stood out in the street. They looked elegant and beautiful in casual clothes.
The irresistible Rika Shiraishi, and the energetic Ryoko Yamamoto wearing a short-sleeved shirt and shorts.
When Natsuki saw the two of them, she was in a trance for a moment, stuck in her shell, and then waved to them. This scene was captured by the sharp-eyed Ryoko Yamamoto. She quickly pulled Shiraishi Rika to Natsuki's house on the second floor.
At the door, he said with a smile: "Did you just stare at it?"
"Anyone would take a second look, right?" Xia Zhi replied casually.
"Come in, you don't need to wear shoes... It's better to say I didn't buy slippers..."
Xia Zhi really likes the feeling of stepping on tatami mats. It can be said that except for the kitchen and bathroom, everything in this apartment is paved with tatami mats.
"Hi~" "Excuse me..."
Yamamoto Ryoko took off her shoes and stepped on the entrance door very quickly. Shiraishi Rika slowly untied her shoes with graceful movements. Ha, what a combination.
Xia Zhi pointed to the small sofa, motioned for them to sit down, and turned towards the kitchen. "What do you want to drink?"
"Ah, don't bother..." As soon as I heard it, I knew it was Shiraishi Rika, who was always polite.
"I want juice." As soon as you heard it, you knew it was Yamamoto Ryoko who was not polite to you at all.
Xia Zhi poured two glasses of juice for now and handed each of them a glass. Then he walked into his room and pulled out a chair.
"Then, can you answer me a question?" Xia Zhi looked at Yamamoto Ryoko, "Why do you know I live here?"
Not to mention whether it is right to inquire about other people's residences, just asking about their residences is probably a good thing done by this informal girl. As for the possibility that Shiraishi Reika inquired about the information, Xia Zhi did not believe it. It belonged to a wealthy family.
The eldest lady doesn't care where an ordinary person lives. The plot of the eldest lady turning against the male protagonist that often appears in light novels only appears in light novels.
"It would be nice to ask Sakuraba-sensei about this kind of thing. I have a very good relationship with Sakuraba-sensei." She blinked.
The incident of being "betrayed" by Teacher Sakuraba gave him a huge shock, leaving him speechless and the corners of his mouth twitching.
Yamamoto Ryoko looked at Xia Zhi carefully and found that Xia Zhi's hair was still messy, there were many creases on the wide T-shirt, and there were even some bloodshot eyes.
"Xia Zhijun, what time did you go to bed last night? You don't look very energetic."
"Me? That's not important." Xia Zhi changed the subject. Staying up all night playing games, even drinking and sleeping in, these are not things worth showing off.
"Did you disturb Xia Zhijun?"
Shiraishi Lihua said a little embarrassed.
"It's okay. I've been used to this level since I was a freshman in high school in China." Xia Zhi waved his hand and pretended to be cool. But this is also true. Imagine that six days a week, you have to get up at six in the morning and one or two in the evening.
How could a Chinese high school student who could survive in such an environment succumb to staying up late? Even though he asked for it when he went to bed at one or two in the morning.
"...This is not something worth showing off..." According to Shiraishi Rika, this is indeed the case. Only a regular and good work and rest can keep the body healthy and support other activities.
Xia Zhi knew that Shiraishi Rika was right, so he didn't take the conversation and could only spread his hands. He got up and went to boil hot water. He felt that he had to drink a cup of espresso.
While boiling water, he asked the two people questions.
"Then, come to my place to play so early. I remember the meeting time is after dinner, right?"
Xia Zhi took the cup he drank from, cleaned it a little, and then put a large spoonful of coffee powder in it. Xia Zhi, who originally liked to put sugar in it, was completely transformed by the unscrupulous store manager when he was working in a coffee shop. Now,
Even drinking instant coffee does not include sugar.
"It's boring to stay at home alone."
"It's boring to come to my place..."
The apartment that Xia Zhi lives in doesn't even have a TV. As for entertainment activities, for Xia Zhi, having the Internet, a mobile phone and a computer are enough, but that was when he was alone. Now there are three people here
, do you think it’s appropriate for everyone to play on mobile phones together?
"It's okay, I bought a set of board games on the way here." She took out a paper box from nowhere. Xia Zhi knew the true nature of this board game at a glance. After all, there were toys, paper money, a grid map and dice.
It has become a symbol of this kind of board game. Compared with this, Xia Zhi is more curious about where she put the box before... This box is obviously not big enough to fit into a pocket.
"So well prepared." Natsuki walked up to the two of them with a cup filled with instant coffee. Shiraishi Rika looked at Yamamoto Ryoko in disbelief, "Ryoko, when did you buy it?"
Don't you even know Lihua? Xia Zhi took a small sip of coffee, and the bitter taste and fragrance spread in his mouth. Although it is not as good as that made from coffee beans, the concentrated instant coffee is actually very tasty.
.
Ryoko placed the box on the coffee table and started to take it apart with great interest. Lihua smiled bitterly at the side.
"If you want to play, just wait for me." Xia Zhi put down the coffee cup and walked into the bathroom. He hadn't washed his face or brushed his teeth yet.
"Xia Zhijun, you really just woke up. Are you too looking forward to tonight's concert that you didn't fall asleep?"
"Even elementary school students wouldn't do this kind of thing now."
