Natsuki gave all the snacks and change to Tachibana Aya. Seeing Tachibana Aya happily eating takoyaki, she suddenly felt that she could also buy one and eat it together. Watching others eat happily,
Obviously not a good experience.
There are only two kinds of people in this world who will be happy when others show enjoyment when eating. The first one is the chef who made the food. The enjoyment of the guests is the most real thing for the chef himself.
Praise. There is another way, that is, parents watch their children eat.
Although Tachibana Aya does behave like a naughty child, and Natsuki unknowingly plays the role of a temporary parent of this naughty child, in essence, the relationship between "parents and children" is actually
is not established.
All Xia Zhi felt was the food that kept coming to him even though he was not very hungry.
But today, a lot of money was spent on snacks... Xia Zhi had a difficult choice between food and money.
"Do you want it?" Tachibana Aya held a takoyaki on a bamboo stick and shook it in front of Xia Zhi.
"No." Xia Zhi, who was still hesitating at first, saw Tachibana provoking him so much and refused without thinking. He chose integrity between food and integrity.
"And don't give used items to others."
Xia Zhi hoped that she would at least have such common sense.
"I haven't used it either. It gave me two bamboo sticks." Tachibana Aya held up another bamboo stick in her other hand and shook it: "I can't possibly not know such a small thing, right? But
If you don’t mind, I can give you mine, anyway, I don’t mind.”
Xia Zhi rolled his eyes: "I mind."
"..." Tachibana Aya bit off the takoyaki on her hand fiercely: "Hmph, I'll be relieved if you are so good at chatting. At least no one else will like you."
"What are you talking about?"
"Nothing~" Tachibana Aya ate the last takoyaki, put the bamboo sticks in the box, and stood up: "I've finished eating!"
"Throw the rubbish in the trash can properly."
"I know, it's been so long and I'm still so wordy. I'm not a kid anymore."
"Aren't you just a little kid who won't grow up?"
"Huh?" Tachibana Aya stopped and turned to Natsuki: "Have you ever seen a child who looks so cute and has such good talents?"
She wanted to use more adjectives for herself. Xia Zhi looked at it critically and shook his head: "I haven't seen it before."
"I guess you haven't seen it before." She raised her head proudly.
"I mean, I've never seen a kid who both said he was good and good at the same time. You are the first."
This description made Xia Zhi think of something that would suddenly make him abnormal, so he quickly shook his head and tried to get rid of these bad thoughts and become a pure and good boy.
"It's a good match and there's no conflict. And I'm older than you, so don't forget it."
"I didn't forget... hurry up, the magic show is about to start." Xia Zhi deliberately did not look at Tachibana Aya who was performing tricks on her body, and walked towards the stage where some people had gathered for the magic show not far away.
Tachibana Aya trotted to the nearby trash can and threw the garbage on her hands into it, and then ran towards Natsuki again. This time she came earlier, so she didn't have to squeeze in like she did this morning.
"I discovered this magic show when I came here yesterday. At that time, I thought it might be interesting with so many people. I didn't expect that there would still be a lot of people here today." Tachibana Aya looked around.
"Because there is no admission fee."
"..." Tachibana Aya's eyes twitched: "Don't talk about such unimaginable things at this time. Isn't it okay to just think that their performance is very good, so even the next day it will be overcrowded?"
"Well, it's really good." Xia Zhi nodded in disbelief.
"Huh?" Tachibana Aya noticed some factors.
Xia Zhi also realized that he seemed to have spilled the beans and had to find an excuse to cover it up. However, Xia Zhi still had some memories of today’s noon in his mind and his mind couldn’t move very fast: “After all, there are so many people at every show, so if the quality is not good enough, it won’t
Maybe it’s so popular?”
"That's true." Tachibana Aya withdrew her gaze and nodded.
Didn't she see it? Xia Zhi wasn't sure. But it was better not to commit suicide yet.
The magic show started again. Xia Zhi watched the familiar scenes play out in front of him. Although the performance was wonderful, after knowing what would happen, he would lose some corresponding interest and expectation anyway. Magic is like this
That's how things are.
Novels, comics, movies, TV series or other things, in addition to works with great artistic appeal that can make people never tire of it, how many times can other things be able to endure through observation or experience again and again?
What? Persistence is also a very luxurious word for most people.
The past can be called the past precisely because it has passed and cannot be returned, and the future can be called the future precisely because it has not yet arrived and is gradually approaching. Even if the same thing is experienced, it will not change again and again.
After witnessing the same thing happening, will people's thoughts remain unchanged?
It's just that the initial surprise, or joy, or sadness, gradually turns into a completely different kind of indifference and habit. How many people can get used to such a thing?
Those who can persevere will probably try again and again with obsessions that are completely unimaginable to them.
When Xia Zhi realized that he had seen all the aspects of this and already knew what would happen next, Xia Zhi diverted his attention from the stage of the magic show and tried to pay attention to another person who could
Something to draw your attention to.
And among this crowd of people who couldn't see even half a meter away from the periphery, there was only one person who could accommodate Natsuki's curiosity, and that was Tachibana Aya. Contrary to the absent-minded Natsuki, Tachibana Aya had great enthusiasm for this magic show.
She was quite interested. Not only did she watch it carefully, but she also recorded it in the notebook she carried with her during the change of scenes.
I often see her memorizing things recently. Could it be that she has a conscience and is ready to work hard?
Xia Zhi laughed at himself in his heart for having such a strange idea.
Xia Zhi looked at her for a while. Before she came back to her senses, Tachibana Aya noticed Xia Zhi who was looking at her first. She glanced at the person who was staring at her with a puzzled look in her eyes, and then looked at her again.
Looking at the notebook in his hand, he seemed to suddenly realize something and moved closer to Xia Zhi.
"What are you doing?" Because Tachibana Aya suddenly came over, Xia Zhi moved to the side, but there was a wall of people surrounding him. Not only could Xia Zhi not get out, he couldn't even move.
"Aren't you curious about what I'm writing? I'll tell you secretly..." As if she had some secret she wanted to tell, Tachibana Aya looked around, then leaned closer. The advantage that height brought to her was
She showed her confidence when facing Xia Zhi. She easily approached Xia Zhi's ear, as if she wanted to whisper something, and blocked Xia Zhi's ear with one hand.
"I've seen all their performances, and I even figured out how they did it. I wrote it all down in my notebook."
What Xia Zhi wanted to do most at this time was to give himself a normal beating on the face, which had been shaken by someone's actions. He bit the tip of his tongue and felt a strong pain to suppress the shy feeling.
At least Xia Zhi didn't let his expression become too strange.
"When you watch a magic show, do you like to see how they do it?"
"Of course... no." Tachibana Aya stood up straight again and shrugged slightly: "It's just that I have watched most of the programs here, so I know what will happen if they do this, and the sense of expectation is completely gone.
.It’s like watching a movie that has been spoiled, and I feel like I can’t arouse interest. It’s the same as you are now.”
Xia Zhi sighed, and sure enough he was discovered.
That's right, both Shiraishi Rika and Tachibana Aya, they are both very smart girls. Since Shiraishi Rika can see what kind of plans she has before this from a card with a plan already made,
How could Tachibana Aya, who is so smart and clever, not be able to see through something she had even said that she had missed?
"Am I that bad at lying?"
Xia Zhi felt that there was no obvious change in his appearance. Even if he spilled the beans, his excuse should not be found out so easily. Is it really just about feeling good about yourself?
"That's it. No." Tachibana Aya crossed her arms and deliberately posed: "It's just that the person happens to be you, and the person standing next to you happens to be me."
If Aya Tachibana was playing a joke, then she might have failed in her attempt to make a joke this time. Xia Zhi didn't understand where her joke came from.
"Then do you want to continue watching?"
"Of course. If you don't finish reading, how can you seal it... You shouldn't even have the seal stamped, right?"
"That's not true."
"That's okay. If you still have some conscience, you know how to deceive me without using the seal."
Xia Zhi felt that this was not conscientious at all. But now that he did not have the right to speak, Xia Zhi was not ready to complain about this anymore.
He hesitated, thinking about whether to apologize first like he did at noon today, but before he could move his mouth, Tachibana Aya spoke first: "Let's read it first and then talk. There are too many people here."
There is an annoying feeling of being seen clearly from the inside out.
This magic show that seemed to have lasted for a century finally ended after an unknown amount of time. As if nothing had happened, Tachibana Aya dragged Xia Zhi to the small store that provided seals for magic performances that Xia Zhi had not been to before.
In front of the stall, there are still some people queuing up here, probably for the same purpose as Xia Zhi.
There was a boy in front who had finished printing his seal. He put away his cardboard and started back from the front of the line. Xia Zhi accidentally saw the other person's face and felt a little familiar. The other person also saw Xia Zhi's face. By the way,
He also saw Tachibana Aya holding Natsuki's hand.
He paused, and his whole person was filled with negative emotions for a moment. As he slowly walked past Xia Zhi, Xia Zhi clearly heard him say a familiar word in his familiar tone and tone: "Now you are full of energy."
Explode them all for me!"
Xia Zhi felt that he might have seen this old man before, but his memory was indeed unclear.
Her gaze drifted further and further along with his receding shadow. It wasn't until Tachibana Aya next to her asked "What's wrong?" that she came back to her senses.
"It's nothing. I feel that the person who just walked past is a bit familiar. Maybe it's an illusion."
"Really? I have such strong negative emotions. Did you steal his girlfriend?"
"Do you think it's possible?"
"Yes...well, it's really impossible. If you don't even want it delivered to your door, how can you do such a laborious thing as stealing someone else's girlfriend?"
Xia Zhi felt that there was something in her words, but something would definitely happen if he answered it, so Xia Zhi sensibly did not answer her.
"It's our turn." Tachibana Aya smiled and stretched out her hand to Xia Zhi. Xia Zhi handed the card to her with understanding, even though he didn't know the meaning of doing so.
After stamping, Xia Zhi pulled Xia Zhi away again, with an envious look behind him that made people feel very uncomfortable. This was probably what it meant when the light was shining on his back.
The two of them came to a place with relatively few people. Coincidentally, Xia Zhi was also familiar with this place because he had just had lunch here at noon.
"...absolutely."
After thinking for a long time, I didn't know what to say, so I could only sigh.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing." Xia Zhi shook his head.
"Okay. Then it's time for the two of us." Tachibana Aya blinked: "But just in case, let me tell you something very important first."
"What?"
"I'm not angry about the fact that you watched the magic show in advance." Tachibana Aya said words that made Xia Zhi feel familiar.
"Anyway, you must have finished watching the magic show without noticing it, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have done such a troublesome thing as watching the magic show without sealing it. I find it troublesome."
"Probably with Xiao Lihua, right? After all, I also want such a competent wingman..."
"However, I'm still not angry. Because I've known this for a long time, and I've been prepared for it." Tachibana Aya's face looked familiar to Xia Zhi, as if she was super high school-level confident: "I won't lose anyway.
."
"I've finished what I want to say, now it's your turn."
Xia Zhi sighed and scratched his head again.
"In a sense, you two really look alike..."
Since it is so similar, then there is a solution.
"Take a short rest, I have something to tell you."
