Saying goodbye to Shiraishi Rika, Natsuki relied on his memory to arrive at the bus station, but he soon regretted it because he didn't know at all, nor did he know which bus he should take to return to his apartment. Help.
I looked at the universal electronic map and spent more than two hours walking all the way from the library back to the apartment. Although I gained a deeper impression of Chiba along the way, the price I paid was that I almost lost my way.
legs.
"So why didn't I think of taking a taxi back?" Although he was complaining, Xia Zhi felt that he probably still wouldn't choose to take a taxi... How could someone who can care about a few hundred yen choose to take a taxi?
What about such a high-end means of transportation as a taxi?
I checked my phone a little, and sure enough, I found Tachibana Aya's message on it. Although the language is very broken and I like to write it separately, the meaning is generally clear. To sum up, it is:
"Where are you?"
“The food cooked by the store manager is not to my liking.”
"Remember to leave me a message when you arrive."
This gave Xia Zhi the illusion that he had a daughter. This illusion was so outrageous that Xia Zhi shook his head and shook it out of his mind.
I casually sent a message to Tachibana Aya to tell her that I was back, and then I was going to prepare dinner for myself, which was about an hour late. To be honest, I usually eat on time, but today I was late because I was walking back to the apartment for an hour.
Xia Zhi felt that he was a little hungry now due to the huge amount of energy consumed during his dinner.
After spending a few minutes taking a shower and changing clothes, Xia Zhi began to prepare his own dinner. Although he didn't buy the ingredients, there was still some leftover. If it was just a dinner, it would be enough for Xia Zhi to eat alone.
Yes. I might have to go to a convenience store to buy a ready-made bento tomorrow. I hope I won’t be kicked to the ground by a stranger because I got a half-priced bento.
Here, Xia Zhi was still washing rice when there was a knock on the door of the apartment. Still wondering who would come to his apartment so late at night, Xia Zhi couldn't help but have an ominous premonition in his heart. He had already
Xia Zhi didn't know who was coming. He put the cauldron filled with rice on the kitchen table, shook the water from his hand, and walked to the entrance to open the door.
The moment the door was opened, Tachibana Aya's figure appeared in front of Xia Zhi. Tonight, she changed back into the cross-dressing suit, and also put on the suspicious black coat. Today is like this
Mix and match styles?
"Why are you here?" Xia Zhi asked.
"Of course I am, come and play." Tachibana Aya said confidently.
"You came over so late at night to play. I shouldn't have sent you that message."
"It's so heartless. It's rare that I still miss you and bring you delicious food." As she said that, Tachibana Aya took out the plastic bag with a lot of things hidden behind her back. Although there were a lot of things, Xia Zhi could
There must be absolutely no ingredients in it that can be used for dinner, not even rice balls.
"Excuse me for your expense." Xia Zhi said without emotion, and then moved away: "Anyway, come in first."
"Then excuse me~"
Natsuki turned around and walked towards the kitchen counter. Tachibana Aya took off her shoes and stepped on the entrance door. Holding a white plastic bag in her hand, she went straight to the living room. Obviously, her target was the one placed in the living room.
Kotatsu. Putting the snacks on the table, Tachibana Aya sat in the kotatsu, and the suspicious black coat was just thrown on the sofa behind her.
Natsuki put the washed rice into the rice cooker, pressed the switch, took a moment to glance at Tachibana Aya, and found that there were various snacks taken out of plastic bags in front of her, as well as a
A bottle of unknown tea drink, his mobile phone in his hand, he seemed to have put on wireless headphones, and he was lying on the table having a good time.
So I just changed the place to play with my mobile phone. Why can't I play at home with the air conditioner blowing? Xia Zhi couldn't guess what Tachibana Aya was thinking. But now there is no time to worry about such trivial matters. Eating is the first priority for human survival.
One of the major events was that Xia Zhi finished the meal, but the dishes were not yet moved.
Then the sound of Natsuki cooking was heard in the kitchen again. After hearing these sounds, Tachibana Aya looked at Natsuki who was busy in the kitchen. She propped up her body and looked curiously towards the inside of the kitchen counter.
With.
"Are you making something delicious for me?"
"Have you eaten yet?" Xia Zhi asked back and continued to do his own thing with his head down.
"If you didn't do it for me, what are you doing?"
"Nonsense, you've had dinner and I haven't eaten yet."
Tachibana Aya became more curious.
"What are you doing today? Why haven't you eaten yet?"
"I didn't do much. I accompanied Xue to the library and then came back. It just took a little longer when I came back." There was nothing special that needed to be explained.
"Classmate, Xiaolihua?"
Xia Zhi hummed, and for some reason remained silent for a while. Xia Zhi raised his head in confusion and glanced at Tachibana Aya, who was holding his chin and thinking about something.
"Why did you stop talking all of a sudden?"
"No, I just think your relationship is really good or something. Are you ready to become lovers?"
"Why are you still talking about this after so long?" Xia Zhidu felt helpless: "I have said many times that I don't want to fall in love."
"That's what I say, but it's possible to do as the Romans do without realizing it, right? After all, Lihua is also an excellent and cute child." Tachibana Aya rubbed her chin in thought.
Xia Zhi chuckled softly: "I thought you would use yourself as an example, saying that you are a beautiful girl with excellent abilities or something. But this is different. Even with someone as outstanding as you, it is already very easy to be friends.
Not bad. As for falling in love or anything like that, don’t even think about it.”
"Did you praise me just now?" Tachibana Aya asked with an exaggerated expression.
"Just think of it as such." Xia Zhi responded casually. Let yourself focus on the matter in hand. Even if it is just simple cooking, you cannot take it lightly during the cooking process. This is not only related to the quality of the cooking.
The degree of completion is also related to a person's life safety.
"Then when are you going to find a girlfriend? This is not a bad thing in Japan."
"Let's talk about it then..."
Looking for a girlfriend? Doesn’t exist. The perfect way in life is to be alone, and then wait for your seven aunts and eight aunts to arrange blind dates for you until you find a suitable partner, get married, have children and grow old. In this way, you don’t have to worry about the early financial pressure of falling in love.
, and you don’t have to worry about being occupied most of your time by similar things when you should be studying, thereby accomplishing nothing in study and love.
Don’t be afraid! Seven aunts and eight aunts will be your strongest backing!
"Oh. Then tell me when you want to fall in love, and I can recommend you the best girl in the world." Tachibana Aya said with a wink.
"Then I really thank you."
Natsuki responded, but didn't take it to heart. Tachibana Aya's words probably went in from the left ear and out the right ear. After all, Natsuki himself was not interested in such topics, and he was focused on cooking.
He didn't pay attention to her either. Tachibana Aya once again lay on the table and played with her mobile phone, a little more absent-minded than before.
"Oh, by the way, Xia Zhi, I'm hungry."
"Didn't you buy snacks?"
"You can't fill your stomach with snacks."
"How long has it been and you're hungry? But I won't let you eat, so just give up."
"Why!" Tachibana Aya protested loudly.
"There's no reason why I can't eat so much for dinner. Give me some snacks too."
Originally, you shouldn’t eat too much for dinner, because you don’t have much activity at night and consume less energy. Eating too much is not easy to digest and makes you easy to gain weight. This is not a healthy eating habit. As a high-calorie, low-nutrition food
On behalf of the value, it is better to eat less snacks or eat less. You can eat some fruits appropriately to supplement nutrition, and it will not make it difficult to digest.
"But I'm hungry..." Tachibana Aya said listlessly: "The curry made by the store manager tastes just like a ready-made bento."
Xia Zhi was shocked instead.
"No, right? Isn't the food cooked by the store manager delicious? And the ready-made bento sold in the convenience store are also very good... Why do you have such a picky taste?"
"It's just a feeling that can't be explained clearly in words." Tachibana Aya stretched out her hands and gestured, trying to describe an indescribable object: "What you make is better."
I was complimented for no reason? Natsuki was thinking about the possibility of making something for Tachibana Aya. But there were no ingredients, and even the dinner, which didn’t require much food, was a bit too much for Natsuki alone.
Not enough. What should I do?
Glancing at all the objects on the kitchen table, it's fine to eat a little. The only thing Tachibana Aya doesn't hate is probably fried eggs. After finishing the whole thing, there is still one last thing left, although Xia Zhi doesn't know what this egg is.
How could I save it, but the flowers for Tachibana Aya are quite appropriate.
Tomorrow, I probably have to go to the convenience store to buy breakfast and lunch.
"There's only one fried egg, do you want it?"
Xia Zhi asked.
"want!"
Tachibana Aya raised her head and shouted, and Xia Zhi felt that he could even hear the joy in her voice.
"Then wait a moment. Also, don't eat the snacks."
"Hi~"
Natsuki watched Tachibana Aya obediently put away all the snacks, even pushing the opened potato chips to the side of the plastic bag, and then happily lay on the kotatsu and played with her mobile phone.
There is really nothing we can do against her...
Xia Zhi sighed. He was probably going further and further in the setting of Tachibana Aya's guardian. The only thing that made Xia Zhi feel gratified was that he seemed to have mastered the skills that could make Tachibana Aya settle down.
Method, this is indeed a very convenient skill to a certain extent.
