What's the date today? Xia Zhi tried hard to remember, but couldn't remember it. But it wasn't something he had to remember, so Xia Zhi chose to look at his phone, ah... it was already December 28th.
Wow, time flies so fast. Xia Zhi doesn’t have such an obvious feeling of time transition.
This is the difference between living a day like a year and living a year like a day.
But the flow of time will not change because of one person's sigh. This is an established fact and there is no mistake. The time has indeed arrived on the 28th of December, and it is still past 12 noon.
Of course I was awake thinking about these boring things, but someone who should have gotten up long ago to read was still asleep in his room.
Xia Zhi is sure that she must have stayed up late playing with her mobile phone at night!
Definitely talk to her nicely when you wake her up later.
But now, it would be better for me to prepare lunch first. After all, I only play this role, and I have no choice, and there is no need to choose again.
Surprisingly, Xia Meng woke up before Xia Zhi finished making lunch, although she still looked sleepy. She looked at her walking towards the bathroom with a little worry, and seemed to wake up after a few minutes.
Many. Maybe I used to like to stay up late, and I had such a worrying look.
Xia Meng didn't change her clothes, she was still wearing her pajamas. She was sitting on a small stool in the kitchen, playing with her phone listlessly, and said to Xia Zhi who was doing the finishing work: "My parents are here at noon today."
Won’t come back for dinner.”
"Hmm? When did you say that?"
"Just now, there should be a message on your phone, but you don't seem to have seen it."
Xia Zhi's cell phone was thrown in the room by himself. He didn't want to be disturbed by other things while cooking, especially the interesting notifications that stood out from the large amount of junk messages. To be honest, there were some things that he couldn't stop reading.
When Xia Zhi was cooking, he either silenced his cell phone or threw it in the bedroom.
"That's probably because I didn't see it...then the rice would have been overcooked."
Neither she nor her sister eat much, or Xia Zhi's family doesn't eat much. On average, one person can eat a bowl and a half. Xia Meng basically eats just one bowl. If there is a lot left over,
It's a little troublesome, not only in terms of storage, but it will also affect the next meal.
It's easy for Xia Zhi to deal with it when he's alone. If there's not much left, he'll just finish it by himself. If there's a lot left, he'll save it for the next meal and add whatever he wants to make fried rice. But the amount left over is a bit impressive, and it's even easier to make fried rice.
Not enough for two bowls, not to mention that the next meal is dinner for the whole family...
Eat slowly and forget it after finishing.
During the festive season, I gain three pounds. Even though the festival hasn't started yet, Xia Zhi originally went home with the intention of celebrating the New Year in advance, so she doesn't need to pay too much attention to this little thing.
Xia Zhi put the food on the small table while preaching to Xia Meng, who was in poor spirits.
"You can't do this. Did you stay up very late last night without sleeping?"
"I just can't stop reading the novel, don't worry."
"That's why I'm worried. You still look like you're awake, and the light is not good at night. Staring at your phone can easily damage your eyes."
"That's right, haven't you often been like this before? You didn't tell me my position in this regard."
"It's just because I was like this before that I should speak to you more. Even in some places, when giving legal lectures, criminals are invited to come and give their own testimony. This makes it more credible."
"No. In my opinion, this has no credibility at all..."
Xia Meng made a lazy speech, then lowered his head and fiddled with his phone, as if he was not ready to reflect on his behavior. Xia Zhi had no good solution, and his words basically had no effect on Xia Meng, so he continued to talk.
If it continues, it will probably just be regarded as an annoying tirade and disliked.
Doing useless work while getting disliked by the other party, this deal is really too uneconomical, and Xia Zhi doesn't really want to do it.
Xia Meng put down her phone and looked at the half bowl of rice in her bowl, feeling a little confused.
"...Did you deduct my rations?"
"You've had breakfast and haven't done much activity. Eat less at noon, rest for a while and then go to bed. Eating too much can easily make you fat."
"It doesn't seem to be my illusion. I always feel that in your opinion I am a particularly weak person who needs care and protection?"
Xia Meng felt something keenly, and Xia Zhi was not prepared to deny it.
"Because you always don't take good care of yourself, that's why I bother you like this. Although you are very smart, your current lifestyle is really difficult to call healthy."
Today's dish didn't have anything complicated. It was basically just vegetable soup and two home-cooked dishes. It was too greasy and would be troublesome to sit down, and it was not ready for Xia Meng to eat. Xia Zhi was picking on the plate.
Just like his parents did when eating with him, picking out and eating all the parts of the dish that didn't look very well cooked, Xia Zhi entered the stage of life as a worried parent ahead of time.
Xia Meng didn't continue talking. At least she seemed to have finished her lunch honestly and ran to the living room. Xia Zhi sat at the dining table and ate alone, tasting his own results. The taste was okay, but because
There wasn't much meat, so it didn't taste very filling. Xia Zhi slowly filled in this part with the extra rice. At the end of the meal, it felt a little full.
After packing up his things, Xia Zhi walked to the living room. Master Xia Meng was already leaning on the sofa, covered with a thin quilt and fell asleep. When sleeping on the bed, because the space was relatively large, there were not many traces of Xia Meng's tossing.
It was obvious, but her sleeping appearance was definitely not that good. The quilt, which was not thick in the first place, was still partially pulled open.
If she continued to sleep like this, she would definitely catch a cold. There was no need to wake her up, and Xia Zhi didn't want to disturb her rest. He supported his body and covered the quilt that Xia Meng had pulled away again.
It felt like it was not enough on her body, so Xia Zhi took a thin spread from the bed in his room and covered her body.
Compared with my mother, she must be more or less troubled by her situation... This kind of work and rest habit will most likely cause problems if no one takes care of her. There is no way for people to safely leave her to themselves.
Inaccessible places.
But, what should we do next? Xia Zhi stood in the living room and thought about it. This is something he has been thinking about every day since returning home, and he has not found a suitable and effective solution so far.
Although Xia Meng could play computer games while she was sleeping, Xia Zhi was not in such a mood right now. Watching TV was also impossible, as it might disturb Xia Meng's sleep. If she played on her mobile phone, Xia Zhi would
This is also due to lack of interest. His fondness for mobile games has been successfully stripped away by Tachibana, leaving only a little residue.
This is the countless time that I have been in a situation with nothing to do. Xia Zhi also sat down next to Xia Meng, folded his arms, and was about to close his eyes and sleep for a while. It was already noon, Xia Zhi himself
He was wearing clothes that could allow him to get out of the house, and he wasn't very afraid of the cold. And he might be annoyed if he got too close, so I decided not to.
It's so quiet... There is no sound of wind, people, or cars. The closed doors and windows not only isolate the cold wind, but also isolate the sounds from the outside. After closing your eyes, you can even feel
With the feeling that even his senses had been stripped away, Xia Zhi couldn't calm down and sleep.
Just close your eyes and wait for the sleepiness that you don't know when to be rewarded. Counting sheep is not a good idea. This kind of self-hypnosis with repeated homophonics from English words has little effect in the Chinese environment and cannot achieve the ideal.
effect.
Sleepiness has not come for a long time, Xia Zhi quietly leaned on the sofa and waited. There was a slight change, brought by the trivial sounds next to him. Xia Zhi felt that there was suddenly an extra layer of something on his body, even if he didn't have to open his eyes.
You can even feel what it is with your eyes.
Xia Meng didn't know when she woke up, or she hadn't fallen asleep from the beginning. No matter what, she seemed to be cared for by the other party.
Xia Zhi opened his eyes and turned around to take a look. He was covered with a thin stall, but Xia Meng still had his eyes closed.
"It would be better for you to sleep a little longer."
"I want you to take care of it."
After responding rudely, Xia Meng became silent. When Xia Zhi saw that Xia Meng was still covered with a quilt, he had no intention of covering the stall back up. It was very troublesome.
The so-called human is really a very strange creature. A moment ago, he felt empty and unable to sleep, but at this moment, he was able to be safely trapped in such an environment. Xia Zhi wanted to lie down.
Sleeping on the sofa was more comfortable, but it was also awkward, so he gave up.
How long has it been since he spent his lunch time so lazily? Xia Zhi couldn't remember, but it must have been no less than a year, maybe two years. He was not a person who liked taking a lunch break. That's what the so-called students were like.
A group of people who are particularly short of time resources. If they want to do things other than study, they must try their best to squeeze them out of places where they can squeeze out time.
The feeling of not having to do anything is not bad, and the feeling of being able to be lazy as much as you want is not bad. But this idea must be the thing that my sister hates the most. Although she looks lazy, she has talents in unexpected places.
Unexpected efficiency.
But there is no way.
"...Who told me, your brother, to be just a passerby with no characteristics at all?"
She seemed to have heard this. Xia Meng responded by pulling away the quilt that had just been covering Xia Zhi. Fortunately, the sleepiness that came up did not leave at the same time. Xia Zhi fell asleep with his eyes closed.
