Although I am walking on a road that I am already quite familiar with, I feel very different today.
First, it was because I was reduced to an outrageous movement speed as if stuck by a red buff, and I couldn't fight back because the ones who gave me the buff were girls from the same class, and they came here with good intentions.
, Xia Zhi had no reason to drive them away, and even if there were... probably normal people wouldn't do this.
Secondly, these girls are all classmates, and two of them are relatively close friends with him. This is not a big deal, and Xia Zhi has to live with it no matter what.
I have to admit that Xia Zhi has a new understanding of his moving speed after school.
After spending about twice as much time as usual, Xia Zhi finally saw the store he was familiar with.
Although the business hasn't started yet, Tachibana Aya must have gone inside with the spare key, right? Maybe the store manager is already here, after all, we can't let Mayumi do all the work by herself.
"I'll call someone."
Natsuki said something to the girls who were chattering next to her, and then walked towards the coffee shop. The girls except Shiraishi Rika and Yamamoto Ryoko were all looking in the direction of the coffee shop curiously.
"Is this the store where Xia Zhi works?"
"It looks pretty ordinary. Do you sell anything delicious?"
"I think it's okay. Do you want to go over and have some snacks or something after you finish shopping?"
"Agree!"
Said in a voice that Xia Zhi could completely hear.
Sure enough, there were more and more troublesome things... Xia Zhi sighed and opened the door of the coffee shop. Just as he thought, the door of the coffee shop was not locked, and there were indeed two people sitting inside, the store manager and
Tachibana color.
The sound of wind chimes as they pushed the door attracted their attention, and they said hello to Xia Zhi.
"Yo."
"Coming?"
Xia Zhi nodded and walked over.
"Well, I'm here to call you and put my schoolbag on the way. Including Shiraishi and Yamamoto, who you know, there are six people in total. We came here to buy things together."
"Is it for so many people?"
"Because there are a lot of things to buy, it would be more efficient if we buy them separately. Also, there are a lot of things to buy. It would be difficult to take them back with so few people."
Tachibana Aya thought for a while: "It seems so."
"Originally, I thought you could bring everything with you alone..."
"Are you the devil!?"
"Stop stuffing it, you're going to have enough to eat." The store manager waved his hand at the side, asking Xia Zhi to stop his behavior of abusing animals, although he didn't know why he was stuffed with dog food: "You are going to have to eat more dog food in the future."
return?"
"Well, I came over right after I finished my shopping."
"Then I'll wait until you come back to take over before going back. Today Sayuri is going to make delicious food for me." The store manager seemed to want to show off, and raised his eyebrows at Xia Zhi: "Do you still remember the one you mentioned?
Is it something?"
"That thing?" Xia Zhi was stunned for a moment, then thought about it based on the situation, and then remembered: "Oh, that thing about going to dinner? I still remember, I will go there tomorrow night."
"Just remember. You don't have to go to work tomorrow, so I'm afraid you'll forget, so I'll remind you."
Xia Zhi glanced at him with contempt: "I won't forget things so easily."
"...Why do I feel like you are saying that I forget things easily. But it doesn't matter, go quickly, there are girls waiting for you outside."
"I know, I know."
Natsuki escaped from the store manager's control and walked to the employee room. He opened the door casually, hung his schoolbag on his cabinet and walked out. After confirming that he had put the money and discount coupons on him, Natsuki greeted Tachibana.
Cai walked towards the outside of the store.
"I'm leaving."
"Come back later."
"Go well."
As soon as Xia Zhi walked out, he saw a circle of girls standing near the store door. They were curiously observing the coffee shop. Although the store was a bit ordinary, the store manager still put some thought into the decoration.
The flower pots and baskets placed outside the store are quite attractive.
"Ah, Xia Zhi is out."
A girl named Satsuki discovered Natsuki and Aya Tachibana who walked out with Natsuki.
"Oh, is this beautiful senior Tachibana-senpai?"
"Tachibana-senpai, we meet again."
Shiraishi Rika said hello.
"Oh, hello, everyone." Tachibana Aya poked Natsuki with her elbow and said softly, "You are so lucky to know so many cute girls."
This sentence, not to mention Natsuchi who was right next to him, probably even Nagahara who was farthest away heard this clearly. Natsuchi knew that this was probably intentional by Tachibana Aya, but the effect was indeed very significant.
The girls started to talk about compliments. Xia Zhi stood quietly and listened, chatting for about two or three minutes. When Xia Zhi couldn't help but sigh at how familiar they were, they finally
I remembered what I was here to do.
"I almost forgot about the real thing." Ryoko Yamamoto "suddenly" remembered: "Let's talk while walking."
Yamamoto Ryoko's words were approved by the people around her, and Xia Zhi would not interfere with their business. It wasn't until they walked for about a minute that Xia Zhi noticed something.
Natsuki and Shiraishi Rika walked two steps behind the others, so they could see very clearly. Yamamoto Ryoko and the other four girls walked next to Tachibana Aya and chatted, talking to Natsuki over there.
Even though she didn't understand the topic at all, she looked very happy. Tachibana Aya's feeling was even better. Xia Zhiguang felt like she was about to fly just by looking at her back.
???
Xia Zhi glanced at Shiraishi Lihua next to her: "Aren't you going to chat with them?"
"I can't keep up with the topics everyone is talking about..."
Shiraishi Rika had a troubled and shy expression, and Xia Zhi didn't know what to say.
It seems that the topics that girls like are not all the same.
However, this was okay, at least he didn't have to talk anywhere all the time. Xia Zhi felt that he might not be able to pick up the girls' topics, and it would be bad if he fell over.
"By the way, Xia Zhijun." Shiraishi Lihua looked at Xia Zhi sideways as she walked away: "My mother told me that if you are free, you and Ryoko can go to my house to play."
"Cough cough cough cough..."
"Xia Zhijun?"
Rika Shiraishi was worried because of her sudden violent cough.
"No, don't worry about me, cough. Can I ask why?"
Shiraishi Rika gently patted Xia Zhi's back: "My mother said it was rare that she made a good friend again at school, so she wanted to meet her. I, I have already stopped her! But Ryoko was beside me, so..."
Shiraishi Rika's face was red. Without too much explanation, Xia Zhi understood who the initiator of this incident was. Probably because that incident left an impression on the other party, and because Yamamoto Ryoko was nearby.
Suspecting the earth fanned the flames, and then it became what it is now.
This guy...how is he so good at selling his teammates?
"It's okay if you don't want to go. My house is actually not interesting anyway, and Liangzi always likes to take me out to play together."
Regardless of whether I go or not, there are not many things I can say at this time in terms of choices.
"If you have time later, I'll trouble you."
Xia Zhi made a cunning remark. "If you have time later," it was just a polite remark. Generally speaking, even if there was such an opportunity in the future, the parties would not go over to visit without knowing it, and use such a vague reason to both
It can delay time without causing the other party too much face loss. Moreover, Xia Zhi's situation is actually the best.
I have to work six days a week, and I can use various excuses to cover weekends. It’s perfect. No one can take away my leisurely weekends.
"Yeah." Shiraishi Lihua nodded happily. Maybe she didn't know how to distinguish in such a scene, but Xia Zhi was a little surprised by Youxin's smile.
"Speed up a little, otherwise they won't know where they are going."
Xia Zhi looked forward. For some reason, he always felt that the six girls in front of him were accelerating. Now if they were walking at the normal speed of ordinary people, they would basically be unable to catch up. Xia Zhi himself could barely do it.
He couldn't catch up with this speed, but this was because he was used to it. He didn't know what the reason was for their sudden burst of speed, but Xia Zhi felt that the two of them had to catch up quickly.
"Um."
The two of them quickened their pace and hurried forward. After only a few steps, Xia Zhi looked at the distance between the two of them and the six people in front of them getting farther and farther, and his mind was filled with doubts.
Could it be that my walking speed has slowed down?
Xia Zhi looked at the other pedestrians nearby. They were walking at a speed far slower than his own. In order to catch up with the group of six in front, Shiraishi Reika next to her began to breathe harder. Is this normal?
Of course it's not normal.
What does Ryoko Yamamoto want to do again? Natsuki asked this question.
"Hey!" Natsuki shouted, and then looked at Nagahara next to him who was about to turn around when Yamamoto Ryoko grabbed his head and pulled him back to the front, and then... started to speed up again.
Absolutely.
Natsuki and Shiraishi Rika stared at Yamamoto Ryoko's movements for a while, and stood there for two seconds. The six people in front of them had already moved further and further away...
"Why are they so fast?" Shiraishi Lihua asked doubtfully.
"Neither do I..."
Trough! I've been tricked!
Natsuki glanced at Shiraishi Rika next to him without leaving any trace, and the other party did have a puzzled expression... In other words, he was tricked by Yamamoto Ryoko again, and Shiraishi Rika was the same as before when it came to tricking him.
, completely unprepared.
So the things I mentioned before about buying things in groups are probably all excuses. Even if they are really useful, for them, 80% of them are just add-ons.
Is it necessary? I’m just buying something!
Xia Zhi felt that he was almost speechless.
"Then let me call Ryoko."
"...Forget it, 80% of the time you can't get through."
Listening to the electronic sound that the phone could not be connected, Shiraishi Lihua looked at Xia Zhi: "How did you know..."
She thought of something, and then she thought of something, and the next moment, her originally fair face turned red again. She probably figured it out. She was probably very tired, having such a "best friend".
Xia Zhi sighed: "Although it has turned out like this, haven't the things I want to buy not been allocated yet? She must have missed the most important point."
"This..." Shiraishi Rika whispered: "When I was at school, Ryoko made a list of things to buy and gave it to me..." She held a palm-sized piece of paper in her hand.
I take back my preamble, Ryoko Yamamoto is indeed very reliable in such an unreliable place.
"...Let's go, no matter what, let's go shopping first."
"……Um."
This is probably the case for older men and women who are urged to get married, right? Xia Zhi made a joke to himself.
Although I can’t even laugh out loud.
As they continued to move towards the mall, their slightly visible figures had already disappeared. Although I was a little worried that they wouldn't be able to find the place, it shouldn't be a big problem if Tachibana Aya was there. There was a discount.
The coupons are also good...
???
The corner of Xia Zhi's mouth twitched and he took out eighteen discount coupons from his pocket, each one was a lot.
Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me?
Shiraishi Rika also looked at the discount coupon in Xia Zhi's hand with a dumbfounded look.
"It seems like they have forgotten something very important."
"I'll call Tachibana."
While walking, Xia Zhi took out his mobile phone. Although he had been here for so long, he didn't have many phone numbers saved in his mobile phone, but this also had the advantage that at least if he was looking for someone, he would find him in one or two clicks.
"Beep...beep...beep..."
"Hello? Xia Zhi?"
The phone was connected, Tachibana Aya's voice came through the phone, and at the same time, there were also the chirping voices of Ryoko Yamamoto and others.
"Where are you now?"
"We? We're already in front of the mall. But where did you go?"
Probably Tachibana Aya's mind was already in a trance when she was chatting with Ryoko Yamamoto and the others. After all, she is a person who will get carried away after just a few words of praise.
"It's still far behind. Tell Yamamoto and the others that I still have the discount coupon."
Natsuki heard Tachibana Aya's voice telling the truth, and the next moment, the originally noisy place on the other side suddenly became extremely quiet.
Xia Zhi almost laughed out loud.
"Well. We are right in front of the main entrance of the mall. Come here quickly!"
"I know. See you later."
Xia Zhi hung up the phone, and Shiraishi Lihua, who guessed what happened, was also covering her mouth and snickering.
To retract my preface again, Ryoko Yamamoto is still unreliable even in unreliable things.
Xia Zhi shrugged helplessly: "Let's go, they are already here and waiting for us."
"Um."
Apart from doing bad things, Yamamoto Ryoko is quite useful. At least now Natsuki feels that the atmosphere between her and Shiraishi Rika has become a little more natural. The atmosphere that she was forced to create before was also destroyed by her.
Already.
In this case, it feels pretty good.
The two of them continued to move in the direction of their goal.
