Tonight, Xia Zhi came to Tachibana Aya's apartment again. Last time, he said that he missed this high-end apartment a little bit, and at the same time, he was a little bit, really just a little, interested in Tachibana Aya's living environment. He was quite a bit interested.
I wonder what the writer’s living environment would be like.
After going there yesterday, I compared the scene with the one I imagined. Except for the shelf of figurines and the pile of treasures in the corner, it generally matched the scene. And when I saw the various kinds of things stacked together like a mountain,
The strong shock brought about by reading such books finally made Xia Zhi carve the word "excellent" with an awl on the image of festoon in his heart.
But I came here today not because I wanted to witness this scene with my own eyes, but because she said:
"I bought a handy cabinet today, can you help me install it?"
"...Can't you just ask them to install it for you when you buy it?"
"I still have to go to school. The package is still at the property downstairs."
Then, Xia Zhi was caught. Because there is an elevator, there is no need to carry a big box up the stairs, and although the box is not heavy, it is very big. It is troublesome to take the stairs and walk more than ten floors.
Gotta die.
"How big is the floor space? Have you measured it?"
"..."
Tachibana Aya remained silent and tilted her head.
"Did you buy it without even measuring it!?"
Do you have any common sense? Is this really that genius?
“What if I can’t use it after buying it?”
"If you don't use it, you can return it. If you can't return it, just buy it again."
Even if you have money, you can't use it like this. Xia Zhi really wanted to say this to her, but he didn't seem to have the position.
"You're not really a young lady from a rich family, so you have to have a limit on using moneypower, okay?"
"Are you my mother?" Tachibana Aya curled her lips unhappily.
"Is it reasonable to spend money randomly?" Xia Zhi glared at this rich kid. People who don't belong to the family are like this. They don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are. "Who said last time that pocket money is not enough?"
"Uh..." Tachibana was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily, "I want you to take care of it."
"Yes, yes. I'm just too lazy to care."
Xia Zhi didn't care about her, squatted down and started to dismantle the boxes with shelves.
"Hmm... This should be done by the [Liancheng] team to install cabinets, right? Tsk, this is the most troublesome one... it's terrible."
Xia Zhi took out the pink reinforced boards one by one from the huge box, which were used to insert the skeleton columns of the main structure, as well as some other large and small parts.
"What kind of cabinet did you buy? Is this shape really good? The instructions are very troublesome..."
Natsuki turned around to do his own thing, but Tachibana Aya didn't know what to say. It doesn't seem very interesting to be sulky alone. So let's forget it. Tachibana Aya is such a person.
"This is already the simplest style, if you choose from the styles I like."
"Isn't this enough trouble?"
Xia Zhi complained, but looked through the instructions, and had a preliminary understanding of the final shape of the cabinet. As a veteran of assembling models, it will be much easier to assemble if you have a general understanding of what is to be assembled.
, because there are not many ways for Chinese high school students to relax. Apart from games, for Xia Zhi, the best way to pass the time is to assemble models.
Starting from Lego bricks, to small and medium-sized Gundam models, and later to large-scale models with hundreds or thousands of parts, there are several in Xia Zhi's room in China, but the so-called high school students are not actually all
It is a very rich creature, but the collection can only be said to be pitifully small compared to its enthusiasts.
"Xia Zhi, has anyone told you that what you say and what you do are completely different?"
"I'm going back."
"Ah, I said nothing, nothing!"
Tachibana Aya also came and sat down opposite Xia Zhi, holding a partition in her hand, and asked Xia Zhi: "How to pretend?"
"If it is the type with nails, it will be easier to solve. This type of frame column requires a ring and a ring. Isn't there a ring next to the partition in your hand? There is also a ring on the side panel. And the side
There are also card slots on the board, so you have to lock the partition first, then put the frame on, and finally tighten it and cover it."
As Xia Zhi spoke, he held the partitions and side panels in place. It was quite difficult to move his hands. Xia Zhi originally thought that one person could handle the entire assembly work, but it was obviously impossible.
Seeing Tachibana Aya holding two boards and pressing them together with a click, Xia Zhi felt that it would be faster if she pretended to be alone.
Moreover, Tachibana Aya would add attributes to herself if she wasn't paying attention, which was really a bit caught off guard. But now that I think about it, I'm afraid that the setting of the Aikido master has been completely confirmed.
Xia Zhi, who had installed two partitions, felt that she couldn't assemble it fast enough, so she gave her all the task of splicing the panels. He held the skeleton and was ready to cooperate with her in the assembly. Occasionally he saw her scurrying around.
I just laughed at her a few words and then went over to help. The actual assembly was actually not particularly difficult. The trouble was getting the other things after the frame was done.
Cabinet door panels, drawer boxes, transparent plastic partitions, screws, etc... This is the real highlight. Although there are many repeated steps, it is not as simple as practice makes perfect after repeated practice.
Xia Zhi carefully compared the positions of the parts and installed each component accurately. Although it took a lot of time, it was still smooth. If you are proficient, you can probably save a lot of time. Then he took a look at Tachibana Aya, and he felt
He is going to die.
"Well... this is what it's like here..."
She thought hard, carefully matching the parts to where they should go, but Xia Zhi had just assembled the same large part, and he knew very well how big the gap was between the two parts that were supposed to be the same. And just as she was turning
When the screwdriver was about to make a "suitable" hole in the reinforced plate, Xia Zhi hurriedly asked her to stop.
"Do you have any pretense like yours?"
"Eh? But the holes in this board are wrong. They're all off."
"It's all gone wrong, can't you think about who is the problem?"
Xia Zhi saw that the reinforced panel that was supposed to be the right cabinet door was violently transformed into the left cabinet door. In addition to a deep beep in his heart, he was also more or less surprised. Xia Zhi checked it.
For a moment, I breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the location of the violently punched hole is inside. If the cabinet door is closed, it will not affect the appearance. Filling the hole with strong glue or the like should not be a big problem.
Xia Zhi drove her aside and disassembled the parts she had assembled in a mess.
"If you're not good at this kind of thing, just call me. It's not like I won't help you."
Tachibana Aya sat on the bed with a complicated mood, took out a bag of potato chips from the snack bag on the floor, tore it open with both hands, and ate it. She was helpless to take such a thing by herself, and she was somewhat unconvinced. After all, it was
The person with the protagonist template can't even handle such a trivial matter, which is a bit embarrassing.
"Are there any stickers? Black ones. It's okay if you don't have black ones. Bring me some ink, pen or glue. With luck, there is still a chance to remedy it."
As Xia Zhi disassembled it, the sound of eating snacks kept coming from the side. He couldn't help but look back at Tachibana Aya, who was sitting unmoved on the bed, with a tic-tac-toe popping up on his head.
"Forget it if you don't help, you're still eating snacks there. Do you want to be so mean?"
"Anyway, I can't help you much." She said, but she still got up to find the sticker, then sat next to him and continued eating potato chips, and her voice became louder and more arrogant.
"Don't make trouble." Xia Zhi pointed to the bed and asked her to go over there and eat, and then began to repair the minor artificial damage. It was a magical thing to be able to drill the strengthened plate into this by manual labor.
Xia Zhi poured some strong glue into the hole, slightly higher than the surface of the board, then tore off a small piece of sticker and pasted it on the small hole. Because it is a sticker, it has a certain stickiness, so you can just dip it in and smooth it out.
Don't worry about it anymore. The strong glue will solidify quickly in the holes, preventing multiple hollows in the strengthened plate and reducing its service life. Then repeat it one by one, and it will be repaired quickly. This can only be regarded as a remedial method.
After Xia Zhi filled in a few holes, the sound of Tachibana Aya eating potato chips was still heard behind her. Xia Zhi was too lazy to care about her. Unlike the time at home, she could listen to music while assembling the model.
Yeah, listening to music now would probably disturb the public. After all, I didn’t wear headphones. It’s not polite.
So Xia Zhi spoke to Li Huacai.
"Don't come so close to me when you're eating. I don't have anything to eat. Aren't you trying to make me miserable?"
"There's a lot more in the bag over there. If you want to eat, just take it yourself."
Tachibana Aya does whatever you want.
"The hole is drilled so small, it's really troublesome. But I didn't expect that you actually have something you're not good at, and it's still in this area."
Xia Zhi only realized this when he came to this room yesterday, and he was not very impressed. The pile of treasures piled in the corner of the room, although it looks miserable, there are some that are worth repairing.
There were many, mostly minor injuries such as broken arms and legs. Some were made of resin and some were made of plastic.
The resin ones are okay, you can always find a way to stick them well with strong glue. Most of the figures that Tachibana Aya repaired by herself are solid resin figures. Even if they are glued well, there are still one or two that have their limbs broken off after being inspected by Xia Zhi.
It was remade. However, almost all of the plastic hollow models were made by Xia Zhidong.
The solid resin figures could be glued out of place, and she was afraid that she couldn't even stick to the hollow plastic figures. That day, Xia Zhi also vaguely realized that this person who was so strong that he gave people the impression of being almost perfect, was actually
She is not good at this kind of detailed work. She may be patient, but she is not good at this kind of work.
"I'm not! I just need to spend a little more time."
She was quibbling, and Xia Zhi didn't even bother to refute her. He continued his work. Compared with the awkward Tachibana Aya, it might be more interesting to assemble things by yourself. People always pay more for things they are interested in than for things they are not interested in.
Even though he is not like Tachibana Aya who can create an identity like an urban legend just because it is interesting, Natsuki also has his own interests. Although he will be suppressed to death in the end, he occasionally comes out to watch the wind.
Something like that, to show your presence.
As she ate the potato chips, Tachibana felt a little bored again.
