After flipping through it roughly, Xia Zhi handed the ancestral recipe book back to Tachibana Aya. Although she said that she would take it for a look and make her some new dishes next time, Xia Zhi couldn't really just let her cook it.
Can you take away the family’s ancestral recipes?
"What does it matter? If the recipe is not for reference and learning, then it is meaningless."
"Even if I want to learn now, I don't have the time. Let's talk about it next time when I have the opportunity." Xia Zhi glanced at her: "In other words, you have such convenient conditions, you should learn it by yourself."
"I only need to know how to make instant noodles and order takeout. If there are two of us, it won't be my turn to cook. No matter how much I think about it, it's not worth it." Tachibana Aya gave an answer that made Xia Zhi feel a little uncomfortable to refute.
Answer. But Xia Zhi's stubbornness made him refuse to admit defeat and said: "You can always use it in the future."
"Then I'll just learn it slowly later. There's still a lot of time anyway." Tachibana Aya didn't care much.
Natsuki sighed, it was really difficult for Tachibana Aya to have a positive attitude towards housework.
"If nothing happens, I will go back first. Mengmeng is still waiting for me at home."
"Ah, okay then. I still have to cut Xiao Xi's nails, but accidentally her nails have grown longer again. I don't know when the clothes I bought for Xiao Xi online will arrive. It's really troublesome."
"Buying clothes for Xiao Xi?" Xia Zhi looked at Xiao Xi in her arms. Although Xia Zhi had heard of people who made clothes specifically for pets like cats and dogs, and there were also a large number of people who regarded cats and dogs as themselves.
The parents who raise their children buy clothes for them to wear. But most of the time the clothes just look like crap.
Moreover, given Tachibana Aya's temperament, Xia Zhi also guessed that the clothes she bought were definitely not normal clothes.
"It's a very interesting dress. When it's delivered, I'll let Xiao Xi put it on and show it to you. You'll definitely like it."
"I don't think I'll like it."
"You have to trust my vision."
I can trust my eyes a little. After all, the cup I bought half a year ago still shows no sign of damage. Although the cup itself will not break down very quickly as long as it is not used particularly violently, but
Being able to buy such a good quality cup is really thanks to Tachibana Aya.
"Forget it, I'll go back first. Remember to clean up after yourself. How did you fall asleep in such a mess? Don't you feel uncomfortable watching it?"
"Absolutely not." Tachibana Aya blinked: "Actually, a messy room has no impact on people's sleep. If you don't believe it, you can sleep here today. Try it yourself and it will be more effective than ten thousand words."
Natsuki chuckled, then turned around and walked towards the door. Tachibana Aya wanted to follow her, which was quite troublesome.
"I can just go back by myself."
"I'll just take you downstairs. The elevator is quick anyway."
"You know it will be soon, so why are you sending me to it? You might as well go tidy up your room while you have this time."
"Don't be in a hurry. Things should be prioritized."
"...I don't think sending me downstairs is a more important or urgent matter."
Tachibana Aya was probably just looking for opportunities to be lazy.
Taking the elevator downstairs with her, Tachibana Aya seemed to want to walk outside the door, which was no longer necessary.
"Go back. I'm leaving too."
"Okay. See you tomorrow."
Natsuki nodded and walked towards his home. Tachibana looked at it for a while, then turned and walked upstairs.
Walking in a dim environment, the surroundings became quiet again. This was the scene in Chiba that Xia Zhi liked very much. Would you like to bring Mengmeng over for a walk? Go back and ask her.
After returning to the apartment, Xia Zhi opened the door and walked in. Although the lights were on in the apartment, there was still no sound. I don't know if Mengmeng fell asleep again.
Xia Meng was found curled up sleeping on the sofa. She was holding the ghost taken out from the room in her arms, and even breathing sounds continued from her mouth. The mobile phone was placed on the kotatsu table.
But I didn't see any books. Maybe Xia Meng didn't really want to read tonight.
Sleeping on the sofa is always not good. Xia Zhi reached out and wanted to pick up Xia Meng and go back to the room. Suddenly, he remembered a stupid thing he had done before, and was about to go over and open the door to the room first.
If he wanted to hold Xia Meng first like yesterday but was unable to open the door, Xia Meng would probably send herself to the brain department of the hospital for a check-up after she woke up to see if she was missing a piece or two in her brain.
However, there is always a difference between ideals and reality, and the difference is that reality is often more cruel than ideals. Xia Zhi had just opened the bedroom door when Xia Meng's voice came out from behind him, scaring Xia Zhi.
I almost jumped into the bedroom.
"Back?"
"Ah!...Well, I just came back."
Xia Zhi turned to look at Xia Meng, but found that Xia Meng didn't say anything else, so he walked to the sofa and found that she was looking at her cell phone. She quickly looked at him again: "I came back a little late today.
.”
"Well...there was a little delay, but it was resolved quickly."
"Really?" Xia Zhi put down the phone again, hugged the ghost in his hand tightly, and closed his eyes again.
"If you are still sleepy, it would be better to go to sleep in the room. The light in the living room is still on."
"I'm not such a spoiled person, that's all."
Xia Meng became quiet again. Xia Zhi looked at her doubtfully, and called her gently again, but received no response from Xia Meng. Before that, Xia Zhi would not believe that Xia Meng could fall asleep for a second.
Such an operation.
Anyway, I've done it once before, so there's nothing to be afraid of.
Xia Zhi came to the front of the sofa, gently pulled out the ghost like last time, then reached out and hooked Xia Meng's back and legs, picked her up, and walked towards the bedroom. Xia Zhi found that she was again
With a suffocation maneuver, he opened the door, but the lights in the bedroom were not yet on.
Maybe I really should go to the brain department of the hospital for a checkup.
Fortunately, the living room was bright, and a little light was enough for Xia Zhi to see what was in the bedroom. Coupled with his familiarity with the bedroom, this level of obstruction was not a problem.
He put Xia Meng on the bed and covered her with a quilt. The original plan of asking her if she wanted to go for a walk together was shelved. However, there was no need to worry, there would be many opportunities in the future.
