It was another normal day, but Xia Zhi still felt that the passage of time was a bit sad about the fact that it was Wednesday again in the blink of an eye. It was so quiet for half a semester, and Xia Zhi even
I think the school trip happened just a few days ago.
I have to say, this is just like the exam tomorrow. When I look back today, it seems that school started not long ago. But time will not go back because of your feelings. Even if it seems like yesterday, it will not go back.
It's just like that.
Just before walking out of the classroom door, Xia Zhi finally remembered that she had to say hello to Shiraishi Reika yesterday before leaving, so she turned to look at Shiraishi Reika who was sorting out her belongings. The other person was worried at the moment.
What should I do with this slightly larger lunch box, because I brought it here in a handbag before, and that handbag is now at home...
It would have been nice if Xia Zhijun had said it in advance...
With such thoughts in her mind, she unconsciously raised her head and looked towards Xia Zhi's position, but Xia Zhi, who should have appeared outside the school, was still standing at the door looking towards her. Shiraishi Rika was stunned for a moment.
, before he could realize what happened, he saw Xia Zhi wave to him and then leave again as fast as the wind.
Xia Zhijun, are you...saying goodbye to me?
The slight dissatisfaction that had just risen suddenly disappeared like smoke, and she waved to Natsuki's leaving figure. When Yamamoto Ryoko saw Shiraishi Rika waving towards the door, she turned to look at the door of the classroom.
, Xia Zhi has disappeared.
As if sighing helplessly, Yamamoto Ryoko urged Shiraishi Rika to quickly pack up her belongings.
On Xia Zhi's side, he just walked out of the school gate and saw someone he shouldn't have seen.
"Good afternoon, Xia Zhi."
Tachibana Aya stood not far from the school gate and greeted him. Xia Zhi had to suspect that he was hallucinating. He rubbed his eyes and took a closer look. Tachibana Aya was still standing there fine.
Xia Zhi walked over, full of doubts.
"Why are you here? Aren't you supposed to be at school?"
"Well, before the last class, I told our teacher that I felt a little uncomfortable, and she quickly asked me to go to the infirmary to rest. I thought, since this is the last class anyway, I might as well just
Just go over the wall and come out in a place where there is no surveillance in the school."
Tachibana Aya looked like she was extremely smart, which made Natsumi's head grow bigger.
"What did you say you should be a good child in school?"
"So I'm not in school now?" Tachibana Aya asked back, and Natsuki couldn't refute it.
There's really nothing wrong with her. She's not in school right now. So it's not like she can just do whatever she wants?
"So you just came to my school gate to wait for me?"
"How is it possible? Even Xia Zhi, you think too highly of yourself." Tachibana Aya stretched out a finger and shook it from side to side: "I first went to the gift shop not far from the school to browse for a while and gave Xiaoyao
I bought a birthday gift, and when I came out, it was about twenty minutes before you got off from school in the afternoon, and the gift shop wasn’t too far from here, so I just came over and went there with you.”
Tachibana Aya pointed to her handbag on the ground, and there was indeed a beautifully wrapped gift box inside. Xia Zhi felt that he had a toothache because he didn't prepare any gifts.
No, the wise Tachibana Aya saw Xia Zhi's expression and said calmly: "Is it possible that you didn't prepare a gift?"
The corner of Xia Zhi's mouth twitched and he said harshly: "I was planning to buy it while I was on the street before going over there. How could I forget something as important as a birthday gift?"
As he spoke, Xia Zhi recalled that there were any shops selling items that could be used as gifts on that street, but he couldn't think of it after much thought. Most of the streets were food stores and convenience stores, and there were no
It's not a gift shop, so after all, I still have to take a detour.
Moreover, if Tachibana Aya hadn't come with this gift, Natsuki might have forgotten about it.
It's really great that Tachibana Aya came here, Natsuki thought sincerely.
"Is there anything for sale on that street that can be used as a gift?" Tachibana Aya tilted her head and thought for a while.
"You'll know when the time comes. Even if it doesn't happen, there will always be one if you take a little detour."
Because an extra trip to buy a birthday gift appeared out of thin air, and there seemed to be not enough time, Xia Zhi urged Tachibana Aya to follow, and then walked towards his original goal. Although Xia Zhi did not walk very well
It's considered slow, but Tachibana Aya can easily follow him with her handbag. The reason... does it count as she can walk fast with her long legs?
Along the way, Xia Zhi didn't see any suitable gift shops. Although there were indeed many shops, they were all shops selling some food and beverages, such as crepes, milk tea, etc. You can bring them to people's birthdays.
Do you think it’s appropriate to have something to drink as a birthday gift? You need to find something with more commemorative value.
Along the way, he looked left and right, ignoring Tachibana Aya's mouth that couldn't stop opening his mouth. Xia Zhi hoped that there would be more shops on this street that he had not seen often. It would be best if
It is also a boutique selling beautiful or cute items.
But Xia Zhi is doomed to be disappointed. Although there seems to be no planning here, this street is completely built in the style of a food street. You can eat or drink along the way. Just when Xia Zhi is about to find a side road
When he drove to other places to look around, Xia Zhi suddenly saw a relatively familiar store.
"Huh? Why did you stop suddenly..." Aya Tachibana looked in the direction of Natsuki's eyes: "The bookstore seems to be pretty good too. But there don't seem to be any interesting new books recently, right? At least I'm familiar with the light ones.
None of the fiction writers have new works released.”
The writers Tachibana Aya is familiar with are probably those who are well-known in the industry, or whose works can really catch her eye. After all, she herself is also a big figure in the industry.
"Let's go take a look first. If it's really not there, I still have a big move that I can use." Xia Zhi said.
If possible, Xia Zhi really doesn't want to use this ultimate move...
Natsuki walked in with Aya Tachibana. The recommended books placed in the most conspicuous position were all works by Aya Tachibana. Natsuki glanced at Aya Tachibana who had followed him in, and Aya Tachibana
I skipped the recommendation section directly and started shopping in the bookstore.
Although as the author of these books, Tachibana Aya naturally knows what is written in them, but Xia Zhi is still a little surprised by his complete disregard for the books he put on the recommendation list.
Even if you are a best-selling author, you will still take a few more glances when you see your work placed in such a conspicuous position, right? After all, you created it yourself, so even if you don't show it, you will feel quite happy, right?
But Tachibana Aya seems to have no similar thoughts at all.
The bookstore is not big, and it only takes a few minutes to browse through the so-called bookshelves, but most of them are light novels and the like. There are familiar faces that Xia Zhi often sees and have been adapted into anime, as well as some familiar faces that have been adapted into anime.
Stories I have never heard of. But most of them are not in line with my expectations.
To be honest, Xia Zhi wanted to find some more interesting books, such as Aesop's fables, but such books are probably too common and are not available in this bookstore. The same goes for Grimm's Fairy Tales and One Thousand and One Nights.
In addition, there are many books on display here, but Xia Zhi doesn't know Xiaoyao's preference for books, so it's a bit difficult to start. Xia Zhi thought about it, and finally decided to use the last resort.
"Xia Zhi, why don't you just go shopping elsewhere? There doesn't seem to be any books suitable for Xiaoyao to read here." Tachibana Aya suggested.
"No need." Xia Zhi walked to the recommended book slot, picked up the two more interesting books based on his memory, and then walked to the cashier to pay.
"Are you going to give Xiaoyao this as a birthday gift...I'm not boasting, I think the store manager should at least have one at home."
She is really narcissistic without any pretense. But Xia Zhi also thinks that what she said is probably true. After all, the novels written by her Tachibana Aya are indeed very exciting. But Xia Zhi wants more than that.
After checking out, Natsuki took Tachibana Aya outside the bookstore. He held two books in one hand and fumbled in the bag with the other. With Tachibana Aya's confused eyes, he took out a pen and handed it to
Tachibana color.
"what?"
"sign."
Tachibana Aya wrote her name casually. Xia Zhi's face turned dark when he saw the chic and elegant Tachibana Aya's name on the page.
"I ask you to sign a pen name and you sign your real name for me?"
This book probably couldn't be sent out, so Xia Zhi put it in his bag.
"What are you signing for...will it still be a book if you sign it again?"
"Ryo Takezuki, the super-popular light novel author who never attends public events, if I get her autograph, do you think my gift is considered thoughtful?"
"Well... if you don't know the truth." Tachibana Aya blinked: "You are really cunning."
"Stop talking nonsense. If we weren't in a hurry, I wouldn't want to use this method."
"Now that it's like this, I might as well write the congratulations."
Happy birthday to you.
To Xiaoyao.
Bamboo moon is cool.
It was unnecessary. Xia Zhi rolled his eyes, but he would not stop her. Anyway, he would not ask for money to write a few more words.
"I suddenly remembered... If this all works, then I can give books I wrote to people on their birthdays from now on! This can save a lot of money." Tachibana Aya said with a small calculation.
"Oh, by the way." Tachibana Aya turned to Natsuki and said, "My signature is very expensive, how do you want to repay me?"
"……What do you want?"
"Please treat me to a delicious meal?"
"talk about it later."
Natsuki took the book signed by Aya Tachibana and walked towards the coffee shop first.
"Hey, wait for me."
Tachibana Aya picked up her handbag and hurriedly followed.
