If there are people in this world whose physical strength and energy seem to be inexhaustible, Tachibana Aya must be one of them. In any case, her strong curiosity is indeed supported by a corresponding amount of physical strength and energy.
As Natsuki walked, he looked ahead at Tachibana Aya playing intimately with Xiaoxi in her arms. The originally short road home actually became longer. Although she was not alone, she left Tachibana Aya and
Aside from the voices of people talking, it is indeed a quiet time now.
Chiba's evenings feel as quiet and peaceful as ever.
However, winter has just passed now, and it can’t even be said to have passed yet. The wind at night still makes Xia Zhi feel a little cold. On the other hand, Tachibana Aya should be more afraid of the cold, maybe because she is wearing thicker clothes.
, maybe because playing with Xiao Xi diverted her attention, she didn't seem to feel cold.
Since I learned the magical skill of selectively blocking Tachibana Aya's voice, I will be able to enjoy a quiet night for a while. Although this is what I originally owned, the feeling of regaining it is still refreshing.
"Xia Zhi, what should we play later?" Tachibana Aya, who was still playing in front, came over at some point, and the sound close to her ears exceeded the decibel level that Xia Zhi could block.
"Nothing to play, you can go back to sleep."
Even so, Tachibana Aya will not be influenced by other people's words. Even if Xia Zhi tells her to go back to sleep, she will end up playing in Xia Zhi's apartment until eleven or twelve o'clock in the evening.
This is not a guess, but based on past experience.
"But, it's so boring to go back now. So I'd better think about what to play."
Look, that's the truth. Tachibana Aya's inquiry is more like talking to herself than asking. Even if she gives an answer, she won't listen. She doesn't know whether it's good or bad to go her own way.
Apart from bringing great disturbances to ordinary life, Zhilai said that it is actually a good thing to not have to use your brain to think about too many things.
"Whatever you want."
Even though her family was living in poverty, Tachibana Aya always wanted to come over and play. Although she couldn't understand what she was thinking, it was confirmed that she had an expert level of self-entertainment.
"Would you like to take a short detour? I remember there seems to be a park nearby. You see Xiao Xi is also very interested."
Tachibana Aya was holding the cat. Xiaoxi might be a little sleepy, so she was just being held by Tachibana Aya. Its owner was not satisfied, so he poked it gently, and Xiaoxi said "meow", and then
Shrunk even smaller.
It's a bit mysterious that Tachibana Aya is seeking death like this and has not been caught yet.
"It's such a cold day and it's so late, why go to the park?"
"In exchange, how about I just go home tonight?" Tachibana Aya blinked.
To be honest, Xia Zhi was not moved at all. I don't know whether it was because he was already familiar with this rhythm of life, or because such extraordinary content finally became routine and was accepted by him, but Xia Zhi had no interest in Li Huacai's proposal.
Although Tachibana Aya's speech exposed the biggest problem that she continued to persist in her behavior knowing that it would cause trouble to others, but if it were in the past, Natsuki might have complained or something, and now even with such interest
All gone.
However, the situation is a little different now. There are some things that you know are problematic and awkward, but you can't say them out. Saying them is like admitting the fact, but this is more annoying than pretending.
Feel embarrassed.
Natsuki was silent for a while, sighing from the bottom of his heart at this sad situation. Next to him, Aya Tachibana snorted softly when he saw Natsuki's "serious thinking" look.
"One day I will make you cry and beg me to come to your house."
"I'm curious about what kind of situation would require me to ask you to come to my house."
Tachibana Aya's face suddenly turned red, and Natsuchi could see clearly even with only streetlight-level lighting.
"Of course...when did we become that kind of relationship, then..."
Although Tachibana Aya spoke vaguely, the implications and goals were too obvious, and Xia Zhi guessed it right away.
"Stop for a moment and pay attention to the direction of the topic."
It's okay to run more and more crookedly, and this is obviously not a topic suitable for discussion.
"Let's go."
"Where to go?"
"Where else can we go? Didn't you say you wanted to go to the park?"
"Oh. I almost forgot." Tachibana Aya patted her forehead.
It’s okay if I almost forgot, the reincarnation of the fish spirit will only have a few seconds of memory, right?
"Then, let's go this way!" Tachibana Aya pointed to a road that Natsuki has never walked, or that he has not walked on purpose. Every time he goes to a place other than the apartment school coffee shop, it can be regarded as opening a map.
Well, I have spent nearly a year in Chiba, and to be honest, this is a bit embarrassing.
Not far away, Xia Zhi saw the park that Tachibana Aya mentioned. To be honest, it was not very big, and the area was only two to three times the area of the apartment where Xia Zhi lived.
There are very few, except for slides, swings and a small sandy area, there is nothing else.
It's really shabby... Xia Zhi thought. Probably not many people will come here.
Tachibana Aya happily trotted towards the swing and sat on it. To be honest, this small park for children was not suitable for Tachibana Aya at all. Although she was sitting on the swing board, Tachibana Aya's height and long legs were really too long.
...It was the first time Xia Zhi saw someone sitting on a swing as if squatting on the ground.
"I've gotten shorter..." Tachibana Aya herself looked around very uncomfortably: "It seems like I've gotten taller?"
It's so dark now. Is it okay to kill people here? No one will find out, right?
"Xia Zhi, why don't you come and give it a try? You should still be able to swing, right?"
"Believe it or not, I will kill you right now?"
If Tachibana Aya brought Natsuchi to this small park with the purpose of making him angry, then it is obvious that Tachibana Aya has succeeded.
"Ah hahahaha, don't be angry. But, I miss you so much..." Tachibana Aya said in a nostalgic tone. If it were in a game or anime, the next moment would be a flashback.
Tachibana Aya deserves to be a writer of novels, and such a typical and royal plot is really easy to come by.
"I used to come here often, but I haven't been here for almost three years, even though I haven't been here so recently."
Tachibana Aya was about to start telling a story. Natsuki walked to the swing board next to Tachibana Aya and sat down in a very polite manner. It was quite appropriate. Natsuchi was so moved that he almost cried.
"Did you know? I moved out to live alone right after I graduated from junior high school. I had no money at that time, and the apartment I lived in was not the expensive high-end apartment we live in now. It was similar to yours, but it was bigger, the rooms were newer, and the furniture was better.
It’s a little more expensive, and if I remember correctly, the rent doesn’t seem to be very expensive.”
"Where is that apartment?" Xia Zhi asked.
Although I am not dissatisfied with the apartment I live in now, I might consider it if the price is right. After all, this apartment is quite old and there are frequent air leaks. Although it will become summer in a few months,
It's quite cool, but it would be nice if we could change to a better environment. At least it wouldn't be so cold at night in winter.
"Here." Aya Tachibana pointed behind her without looking back. Xia Zhi turned around and took a look. It was a very tall building that looked very clean, like a brand new...office building.
???
Natsuki looked at Tachibana Aya again, needing an explanation from her.
"It's not surprising that the apartment was sold by the landlord and converted into an office building when I lived there for just one month." Tachibana Aya recalled: "I paid half a year's rent in advance, and because the landlord breached the contract, I paid a sum of money
A windfall. Then I went to live in that high-end apartment."
What kind of magical luck is this?
What kind of magical expansion is this?
Xia Zhi swore that he was not sour, but that he was too greedy and ended up eating lemons.
"But this way, my plan was disrupted. The rent of this high-end apartment is very expensive. It is more than five times more expensive than the previous apartment."
Five times more expensive? To put it into perspective, that is to say... the rent of this renovated apartment is more than twice that of the apartment I live in now? I can't afford it, so I say goodbye.
"Since then, money has been a bit tight. Since school has just started, I don't have to worry about it for a short time. But after paying two months' rent, I have no money. So I have to find a way to make some money, and it just so happens...
I was reading a novel at the time." Aya Tachibana showed a mysterious expression: "This is probably God's will. In three months, I spent a lot of time reading novels, and I didn't even have time to run. Then I
In this way, I completed my first novel and sent it to my current publishing house. Unexpectedly, it became a big hit right away."
"When the royalties were sent to me, my rent problem was solved immediately. Then I was thinking that writing novels would be pretty good. I didn't want to run anymore. I would just go after school every day after participating in club activities.
I went home and wrote a novel, and I have been writing like this until now..."
"Unknowingly, it has been almost three years..."
Tachibana Aya sighed, but Natsuki didn't have so many thoughts at all. His mind was filled with thoughts like "Damn successful people are showing off their successful lives again." It was like the success stories of celebrities often shown on TV.
It's one thing for them to share it, it's one thing for you to know it, but it's another thing for you to be successful.
If others are successful, others will naturally follow their example. There are definitely not a few people smarter than you in this world, and how many of them can be successful? No matter which industry it is, only the first to eat crabs and eat in different ways
Only those with crabs will be favored by consumers.
Imitation cannot become a classic.
Naturally, success cannot be imitated. Therefore, other people's successful experiences have no effect except to make your brain warm.
"I used to like to come here to sit for a while when I had nothing to do. It's a quiet place. Not to mention it's at night, there are not many people even during the day. But there will be construction in the back during the day, so I basically only visit at night.
Just come here when it’s quiet.”
Xia Zhi mentally calculated the distance between here and her apartment: "You are not afraid, coming here alone at night." If this place is really as quiet as Tachibana Aya said, then it is naturally very dangerous here.
It's a place like this that can easily cause trouble, isn't it? Natsuki might dare to come, but he won't come too many times. If it's a girl, especially a beautiful girl like Tachibana Aya, Natsuki wouldn't even recommend it.
They go out.
"Are you worried about me?" Aya Tachibana asked with a smile: "Don't worry, as I said, my Aikido level is quite high. Moreover, Chiba is a nice and quiet place, at least
I haven't met many bad guys."
"Isn't this still an encounter?" Xia Zhi didn't know how to advise him better: "I think it's better for you to have a little more awareness of your own attractiveness. For this kind of thing, don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens.
, isn’t it?”
"...I will pay attention to it in the future." Tachibana Aya smiled slightly again: "And now I basically don't want to go out at night."
"Who are you lying to? Who comes to my apartment every night..."
Natsuki realized what Tachibana Aya meant, and he only spoke half of what he said, and the corners of his eyes twitched again. I don’t know why, but Tachibana Aya’s routines have been increasing recently.
"It would be boring if you don't go."
Natsuki was a little surprised that Tachibana Aya dropped the topic so easily. If these words were just Tachibana Aya's unintentional words... it would be even more shameful. Natsuchi wants to die now.
"Sure enough, just sitting here makes people feel happy."
Natsuki didn't answer, but Tachibana Aya happily told her story. While she was in a daze, Natsuki found that her swing was shaking.
Was there an earthquake? Although there are indeed not many earthquakes in Japan, this is the first time for such an obvious earthquake... This earthquake doesn't feel right!
A push came from Xia Zhi's back, and the sky suddenly appeared in his vision as he looked straight ahead!
"What are you doing?"
"Of course I'm here to play!"
Then he was pushed up into the sky by Tachibana Aya. Fortunately, he had a firm grip on the swing rope, otherwise Xia Zhifei would have been able to fly out at this moment.
"If you keep frowning, the problem will not be solved!"
"Who's looking sad?"
Sitting on a swing swinging in mid-air, I haven't felt like this for a long time. To be honest, it's a bit cold.
"Your eyes are more lethargic than usual. If you don't want me to notice, you should hide them better!"
Then he was pushed higher by Tachibana Aya again.
The words I originally wanted to get her to pay attention to were not uttered.
The master of hiding his expressions was defeated so easily, and his worries that he didn't even notice were discovered by others first.
The originally cold weather and the wind blowing on the swing suddenly became a bit comfortable.
