Although it is a high-end apartment, the single living area of this apartment is actually not as large as Xia Zhi's old apartment, so cleaning is not particularly troublesome. Although Tachibana Aya does not know how to clean, there are many tools for cleaning.
With a rag and water in the pool, Xia Zhi started cleaning. He estimated that it would take about ten minutes to finish it all.
Tachibana Aya was also arranging her clothes. Xia Zhi glanced at her and saw her nonchalantly piling the clothes together and pretending that she had arranged them well. Xia Zhi's eyes twitched. She can't see the heart.
Not bothered, Xia Zhi lowered his head and continued cleaning without paying attention to her.
She is obviously a girl but she doesn't take good care of her clothes. I'm afraid she is not a fake.
"I'm done!"
She had quite a lot of confidence in shouting. If Xia Zhi hadn't seen what the clothes she arranged looked like, she would probably be relieved. But if it was just what if. There weren't many things she needed to do, Xia Zhi said without raising her head.
: "The food is placed on the bedside for you, you can eat it yourself."
"Oh. I saw it just now, so I'm not welcome."
She just sat on the bed and started eating, while Xia Zhi continued to clean. The distance was not too close, and Xia Zhi was not worried that the dust raised would reach Tachibana Aya.
"Do you need my help? I have a lot of experience in cleaning."
Tachibana Aya's voice rang in her ears, and the familiar fragrance slowly drifted to her side. Natsuki turned around and saw that Tachibana Aya had indeed come running over.
"Don't come here to eat. There's so much dust. Go back. And you're not allowed to clean the kitchen when I'm not here. Do you understand?" The rest of the place doesn't matter. It's obviously a place that has barely been used.
But there were quite a few of them. As for the kitchen knives, Xia Zhi saw several of them in different styles. He didn't know whether they came with the apartment or bought them by Tachibana Aya herself.
"Is this what you Chinese call a 'tyrannical president'?"
"No! Go over there and eat quickly!"
Aya Tachibana was driven away by Natsuki, and she sat on the bed and ate her meal, watching the free coolies cleaning the kitchen for her, looking like a capitalist exploiting cheap labor. When Natsuki was about to finish cleaning, Tachibana Aya
Cai also finished eating, closed the lunch box and placed it on the bedside, then ran to the kitchen counter.
"Do you need my help?"
"No need, the cleaning will be finished soon." Xia Zhi was doing the finishing work.
"It's a really busy life."
"Who do you think is responsible for this?"
Xia Zhi replied angrily. She wiped away all the housekeeping ability points and added them to some inexplicable places. She was not busy. But with her life, she didn't particularly need to take care of it.
That's it for these things. The worst thing is to hire a housekeeping company to come over regularly to help with cleaning, and live a normal life like a rich person.
Xia Zhi began to wonder how she had survived before.
"The kitchen has been cleaned for you. Don't pile up messy things. Stay away from the pile of knives that look like they are extremely sharp. Ask someone to come over and clean them regularly. For such a high-end apartment, the property management should have a dedicated cleaning staff.
It’s better to have a team, or cooperate with a housekeeping company. And your pile of books, if you don’t use them, find a way to find a place or a box to put them away.”
"They all need to be used. It's impossible for me to memorize all these books, so I can only read them as they go." Tachibana Aya sat on the bed that was still high with her calves and swayed her legs. Xia Zhi felt that this action was meaningless:
"Writing a novel is a very troublesome thing. You can persevere if you just rely on interest and patience, but if you want to write a good story, you need to know a lot of things."
Natsuki shook the water on his hand and looked back at Tachibana Aya: "Speaking of which, your novel seems to be turned into a comic? Congratulations, this should be a good thing, right?"
"Of course it's a good thing. You already know. I originally planned to give you a surprise. I've obviously told the publisher to announce the news later. Wouldn't it be nice to announce it on the day the comic comes out?"
"You are being unreasonable. You only said it on the day the comic came out. How will the publisher make money?"
"Just use my name. I'm very confident about this." Xia Zhi could hear the pride in Tachibana Aya's words. In terms of personal achievements, if it were Xia Zhi, he would also be proud.
.Pride represents one’s own identity with oneself.
"When the manga is finished, you will send me a copy. Do you want it? If so, I will talk to the editor. It shouldn't be a problem to send me an extra copy." Tachibana Aya took out her mobile phone.
"No need, I'm not very interested in comics or anything like that." Xia Zhi waved his hand.
"It doesn't matter. It's nothing if you don't take it. Waste is shameful." Tachibana Aya was pressing the cell phone, probably sending a text message. Xia Zhi guessed that it might be the poor editor in charge of Tachibana Aya.
"Okay~" Tachibana Aya finished sending the text message: "That's it."
"Aren't you just asking for it? Can you respect the editor?"
"It's a small matter. I have made arbitrary requests before, but the editor has done it for me. He is a very generous and good person."
"How willful?"
“A month’s delay in drafting?”
"...You were not killed by the editor. This world is also very strange."
"Although the editor said at the time that she was about to cry, he always found a way to delay it for another month. I originally wanted to treat her to dinner, but suddenly I remembered that I am a mysterious novel writer who even the editor does not know the real information.
The kind of person who doesn’t even know whether he is a man or a woman, so after thinking about it, I decided to forget it. Of course, even if she wanted to urge the manuscript, she doesn’t know my true identity or my address, so she can’t urge it.”
To be fair, having such a psychotic writer in the booth is really tiring.
"By the way, it's been a long time since I posted a post to tell everyone about the comic coming out. I almost forgot my account and password..." Tachibana Aya's hand quickly pressed on the phone again: "I didn't expect it to be right.
...Well, let's do this first, this way...and then it's done~"
Although he was a little curious about what she was writing, Xia Zhi didn't want to go over and read it directly. Anyway, he would be able to read it later, so he was not in a hurry.
I've seen what I need to see, I've put away what I need to pack, and I've let Tachibana Aya eat the food she needs to eat. It's almost time to go back. I thought I couldn't take this lunch box back with me, but I didn't expect it now.
I took them back with me. If I hurry up, I can wash all these things and go to the store manager’s house in time.
"Then you stay alone. I'm going back."
"It's still so early, why don't you go back after playing for a while?"
"It's too early now. It's almost half past five. I have to go to the store manager's house later."
Natsuki reached out to Tachibana Aya. Tachibana Aya was confused for a moment, then she remembered that she had put the lunch box on the bedside and handed it to him.
"Then I'm leaving."
"See you tonight."
"Don't...don't come here at night anymore, you're tired."
"Young people can't say they can't do it."
"Obviously your face was red when you opened the door before, so don't make such a joke with me again."
Natsuki felt that he was almost immune to all kinds of unreliable things Tachibana said.
"Who, who is blushing! I just took a shower!"
"Gone."
Ignoring Tachibana Aya's arrogant roar, Natsuki opened the entrance door and walked out.
"See you tomorrow."
"I'm going to play there tonight!"
"Stop playing. Aren't you still working this afternoon? Keep working."
"It's been a long day of work! People need to rest!"
"...You went there in the morning and stayed until noon, and you ate so early in the afternoon. You have the nerve to say you've been working all day."
“If you round it off, it’s just one day!”
"I won't open the door for you even if you come." After saying that, Xia Zhi closed the door.
Tachibana Aya stood in front of the entrance and looked at the closed door, puffing her lips and getting angry. Then she thought of something and started laughing again.
"If I really went there, would he really not open the door for me? What a duplicitous guy."
"What should I do next~ I have no intention to continue writing novels. Let's talk about it tomorrow."
She hummed a song, sat on the bed, brought the computer over and started watching a movie.
Xia Zhi always felt that he seemed to have forgotten something, but did he remember it, so he could only take the lunch box to the apartment and wash all the tableware first. The store manager's house is actually not very far away, compared with the school
On the contrary, it is closer, but it is not on the same line as the store, coffee shop and school.
Now go back and wash the lunch boxes and stuff, and then go to the store manager's house. You can probably reach your destination around six o'clock. Although if Aya Tachibana had answered the phone at that time, Natsuki would have had a lot more time.
But this trip was actually not a complete waste of time. At least her kitchen, which was already dusty, was cleaned. Anyway, she couldn't do much in such a short time, so Xia Zhi didn't really care.
I returned to the apartment, spent some time washing the lunch box, the previous plates, and the iron pot, and walked out of the apartment again. The road towards the store manager's house was not a main road that turned left and right.
The store manager himself is okay, but the road conditions from the apartment are not so good. Fortunately, things like being entangled by delinquents do not often happen in this area. Some time ago, a delinquent was beaten up in this area.
What happened after lying on the ground all night, there are many righteous people.
There is no need to worry too much about public security, Chiba is really a good city.
After walking through the streets and alleys, Xia Zhi finally arrived at the location of the store manager's house. The store manager's family is in a good financial situation and is a very standard one-family house. It has a decoration style that is more Western-style than Japanese-style, which is also the current Japanese style.
The main style of most buildings. The store manager’s house has three floors. Originally, the second and third floors were decorated as bedrooms. The utility room should be on the inside of the second floor. For various reasons, the third floor is
The room upstairs was turned into a utility room, and Xiaoyao lived next to the store manager and Sister Sayuri's bedroom.
The store manager and others had previously said that they wanted Xia Zhi to live with them, but Xia Zhi was too shy and refused to agree, and then she would ask him to come over for a meal every now and then.
Xia Zhi rang the doorbell of the store manager's house. After waiting for a while, the door was opened. It was the store manager who opened the door. Although he had guessed it, after all, Sister Sayuri had to cook at home.
"Bang." Xia Zhi deliberately smacked his mouth.
"Hey, hey, hey! What does 嘁 mean? 嘁. Are you dissatisfied when I come to open the door for you?"
The store manager stared at him.
"Where's Xiaoyao?"
"Xiaoyao is doing her homework. I was still thinking about why you haven't come yet, and I was about to call you. Thanks to me caring about you so much, you actually still yelled at me."
"No, you heard wrong." Xia Zhi flatly denied it.
"I heard that right."
"Xiao Yao!" Xia Zhi shouted. The store manager didn't know why he called Xiao Yao, but Xiao Yao ran out of the house and happily rushed towards Xia Zhi after seeing her.
: "Brother Xia Zhi!"
Xia Zhi caught her carefully: "It's been a long time since I last saw you. Are you still energetic?"
"Um!"
"It's still a little cold outside, let's go in first. Can you help me find a pair of shoes?"
"Okay! Brother Xia Zhi, come in first."
Then Xia Zhi was pulled into the house by Xiaoyao. The store manager stood alone at the door with a black man asking questions.
"Xiaoyao, don't you want your father?"
"Ah, I almost forgot!" Xiaoyao, who was pulling Xia Zhi inside, suddenly stood there, turned around and looked at her father: "Dad, close the door!" Then she pulled Xia Zhi and continued walking inside.
The store manager almost shed tears of blood.
"This is my daughter! My daughter! Xia Zhi, you bastard."
While complaining, he closed the door.
Xia Zhi was pulled in by Xiaoyao, crossed the entrance hall and came to the living room. The TV was not turned on. There was a pile of homework on the table, which was not too much. It should be Xiaoyao's. On the sofa slightly behind,
A paused game is displayed on the screen, which should belong to the store manager.
"Xia Zhi, sit down and teach Xiaoyao some homework. Do you want some water?"
"No need. Isn't it too much for you to play mobile games while Xiaoyao is doing her homework?"
"Ah, hahahaha... It's a trivial matter. Don't tell Sayuri."
The store manager felt guilty, and Xia Zhi looked at him helplessly.
Sometimes this person is reliable, sometimes not, and Xia Zhi doesn't know how to evaluate him.
"Xia Zhi is here?" Sister Sayuri's voice came from the kitchen. Xia Zhi turned around and saw her. She was wearing an apron and carrying a plate to the dining table.
"Sister Sayuri, good evening."
"How are you today? You should be doing preparations for the school festival, right?"
"Well, everything is ready. If you have time, Sister Sayuri can take Xiaoyao to play together."
"Okay. But now I'm going to wash my hands and get ready to eat. Xiaoyao, too, is going to wash her hands."
"That's right, wash your hands." The store manager urged Xia Zhi and Xiaoyao, just like a licking dog with a happy married life.
"You too," Sister Sayuri rolled her eyes at him: "Don't think I don't know you were playing on your phone just now."
The store manager awkwardly pulled Xia Zhi and Xiaoyao to wash their hands.
