When Natsuki brought all the food to the dining table and turned to the kotatsu to call Tachibana Aya, Tachibana Aya had already woken up. She was lying on the table with her dog on her back, playing with her mobile phone, and she was also wearing Natsuki's coat.
.
"It's time to eat."
"Shouldn't we come here to eat?"
"Are you confused? Get up and eat quickly. Eating while sitting on the kotatsu is not good for digestion."
Xia Zhi doesn't know the scientific basis for it, but there is always a right way to sit and stand, and you should sit upright when eating.
"What!? You actually want me to walk outside from this warm and comfortable inside. Are you a devil?"
Tachibana Aya refused righteously.
"It's up to you. Anyway, the food won't taste good when it gets cold, so just don't dislike it too much."
!
Tachibana Aya quickly got out of the kotatsu. It seemed that the temptation of food was greater. However, Tachibana Aya seemed to have wrapped Natsuki's coat tighter. The original plan to get the coat back was probably
It doesn't work anymore.
Well, I have to wash dishes and stuff later anyway, so it doesn’t matter whether I wear something or not.
"It looks less than usual. Did you cut corners?"
"What are you talking about? It's the same two dishes and one soup as usual. If it's less, it's not enough for two people. If it's more, I can't make it. I think you're just confused."
Natsuki dismissed Tachibana Aya's words, and Tachibana Aya probably just said it casually. He clapped his hands and said an insincere "I'm going to start" and then started eating. He returned to his usual appearance.
, Xia Zhi stopped caring about her and started eating by himself.
Although Natsuki wants to eat quietly, Tachibana Aya doesn't think so. She doesn't have any peaceful thoughts even when eating, but after so long, Natsuki has already had a lot of coping skills.
experience.
Regardless of whether Tachibana Aya was talking about it or not, Xia Zhi didn't pay much attention to her. Occasionally he would say something to calm her down, but it didn't have much effect.
"Xia knows you will become a good chef or a good bride in the future. The cooking is so delicious, I really want to take it home and keep it."
While Xia Zhi was eating, he felt like laughing but couldn't. The delicious food Tachibana Aya said was only shredded pork with green pepper, mapo tofu, and cabbage soup, all by himself.
It's just home-cooked food. Even if it's cooked skillfully, how can it taste so good?
Probably Tachibana Aya said something against her will. But knowing that it was against her will doesn't stop Natsuki from feeling happy. Even if it's just a lie, as long as what you see is true, you will feel happy, it's the same.
reason.
Some people say that humans are social group animals and that they need the recognition of others to survive, which is the meaning of survival. Others say that they are themselves and do not need others to acknowledge them. This is all right.
They are people who survive in different ways of survival.
Xia Zhi is very happy that he can live for himself, and he is also happy to be moved by the praise of others.
"Stop talking nonsense and be quiet while eating."
"...It's not very convincing to say something like this while laughing."
When Natsuki heard this, he glared at her again, and Aya Tachibana quickly lowered his head to eat, pretending that it was not him who had just spoken. During the second half of dinner time, Natsuki enjoyed the quiet time as he wished.
As soon as Tachibana Aya finished eating, she ran to the kotatsu to keep warm. Natsuki's head was covered with black lines: "You just went to sit somewhere after eating. Aren't you afraid of getting fat?"
"If I gain weight, it will be your fault. You must take responsibility for raising me. And you will let me live in this kotatsu for the rest of my life because of guilt."
"Your direction is too obvious."
Natsuki waved his hand and decided to get up first and wash all the dishes. It would be easier to eat with Tachibana Aya. At least there would be no leftovers for two dishes, one soup and rice. Tachibana Aya was surprisingly not a very good person.
A good picky eater.
"Xia Zhi, I'm thirsty."
"Come and get it yourself."
She was just too lazy, so Xia Zhi felt that she should talk to her. Putting down the water glass, Xia Zhi looked condescendingly at Tachibana Aya, who was holding the quilt in her hands and snickering: "Although I don't ask you to help with cleaning or anything.
Yes, but you must at least be able to do small things like pouring water by yourself, right?"
"I originally thought so, but not only did I find that I had no chance to express myself, but I had been sucked into this evil kotatsu and couldn't get out of it on my own. That's it." Tachibana Aya said confidently while holding the dog.
said.
Although he knew that she was quibbling, Xia Zhi didn't know what to do with her. So who made her develop such a lazy temperament? Xia Zhi felt that if she met him, she must teach him a lesson.
one time.
Natsuki put down the water glass and turned around to continue washing the dishes. Tachibana Aya squinted her eyes and lay on the dog, enjoying the warmth in this space.
After a long time, he suddenly sat upright and glanced at the empty tabletop on the kotatsu. Oh, there was also a glass of water. Tachibana Aya discovered that something decisive was missing here.
"Xia Zhi!"
"What's wrong?" Xia Zhi's perfunctory voice came from the kitchen.
"I discovered it! There are no oranges on the kotatsu table!" Tachibana Aya stated an obvious fact in an astonishing tone.
"What's wrong? I rarely buy fruit. I only buy apples and bananas. I don't really like oranges."
"When it comes to winter, it's the kotatsu, and when it comes to the kotatsu, it's orange! What's the difference between not going to the beach in summer, and not going to the beach in the summer?"
"No...because I haven't really gone to the beach in the summer. Even if I go to the beach, I probably won't go into the water. So your example is just the opposite."
The closest I've been to the seaside in Japan was probably the last time I went to Kamogawa Ocean Park with Rika Shiraishi and Ryoko Yamamoto, right? But there are still many differences from the real seaside. After all, I didn't see a beach or anything like that.
I ate fried noodles or something like that at the beach. So it doesn’t really count as being at the beach, right?
"It seems that I need to let you truly experience the fun of the seaside." Tachibana Aya said in a firm tone.
Has this matter been arranged by Tachibana Aya before? In this period of autumn and winter, the two of them went to the beach with no people together. Although it may be an enviable development in terms of the situation, but as the parties involved
Xia Zhi was actually very worried about the subsequent development of the matter.
If what Xia Zhi thought was correct, one of Tachibana Aya and him must have caught a cold this time, or it would be more serious, or both of them would be infected at the same time.
There is no way to prevent this from happening now, so Natsuki is also thinking about how to prevent himself or Tachibana Aya from catching a cold or fever.
However, the cold is a very strange disease. If you don’t take medicine, it will take seven days to get better. If you take medicine, you will be better in a week. No matter how strong a person is, he will inevitably get sick after all, but even a very weak person will not be able to catch a cold.
As for taking his life.
This is a very mysterious disease, and Xia Zhi doesn’t know whether it is a disease or not. But if the cold is serious, you will still feel uncomfortable, and coughing can easily cause pneumonia. It is best if you can avoid catching a cold.
It's better not to catch a cold.
What's more, a player like Tachibana Aya is extremely afraid of the cold.
Although there is no special connection between being afraid of the cold and being prone to colds.
"Let's talk about it later."
Unable to care about her anymore, Xia Zhi decided to finish all the work at hand first. Fortunately, Tachibana Aya became silent again after saying what she just said. Although Xia Zhi did become more focused on her work,
When he thought that Tachibana Aya might have fallen asleep again, Xia Zhi felt uneasy.
In the end, I just finished washing and walked out of the kitchen. However, there were not many dishes, so a few minutes was enough.
Natsuki walked out of the kitchen and felt that she could be Tachibana Aya's mother. She had already seen through Aya Tachibana.
Natsuki poured a cup of hot water, put it on the kotatsu, and got in. At least Tachibana Aya played a good role in keeping herself warm. It was indeed quite warm inside the kotatsu.
Although the clothes that should have been worn on her body are now hanging on Tachibana Aya, this space is not a drafty place to begin with, and it is a relatively warm place, but there is no need to keep wearing clothes and stay under the quilt.
It's quite warm in the furnace too.
Xia Zhi held the tea cup and looked down at Tachibana Aya sleeping with her head down, and suddenly felt that she seemed a little perverted in doing so.
But Tachibana Aya's sleeping face is actually quite interesting, especially when her face is buried in a dog and the dog is facing Natsuki. If the angle is slightly adjusted, Tachibana Aya's face will be connected with the dog, so
That's very interesting.
Anyway, Tachibana Aya usually caused so much trouble to herself, so it’s not impossible to get some interest back, right?
In the end, the little devil in Xia Zhi's heart gained the upper hand, so he picked up his phone and secretly took a photo of Tachibana Aya. The angle was just right, with a dog's face and a body, and Xia Zhi almost laughed out loud.
After much deliberation, Xia Zhi finally decided to hide the photo. Otherwise, if Tachibana Aya knew that she had the photo in her hand, she would be in trouble?
But where should I hide? After thinking about it, there is only one place.
That's right! The place where I hid Reika Shiraishi's photos last time! The universal network disk!
Hey, hey, the network disk is indeed a good thing. It is very convenient to hide anything, and it is also easy to find. The only disadvantage is that if there is no network or battery, or if you forget your account number or something,
Then everything will stop.
However, people would not be able to survive without electricity or internet, and if they cannot even remember the password to the safe where their important treasures are placed...
Find a piece of tofu and kill him.
As for now, Xia Zhi needs to save the photos of Tachibana Ayai first...
