It was already half an hour later when Aya Tachibana came back. I don’t know why Tachibana Aya had even changed her clothes. When she walked into the store, Xia Zhi thought she was a customer and shouted "Welcome".
However, the peaceful smile disappeared when she saw Tachibana Aya's cute but also very hateful smile.
"Can't you be more dedicated? Although we know each other, I am also a guest after all." Tachibana Aya came to her exclusive seat in front of the counter, hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted her teeth and sat down.
Xia Zhi glanced at her: "Feeling better?"
"...Hmm." Tachibana Aya looked around shyly, then nodded. She looked at Xia Zhi with some dissatisfaction: "Now you know you care about me? You were still hitting me so hard before."
"That's what you deserve." Xia Zhi sneered: "That means I have a better temper. If someone else fucks you like this, I'm sure he will come over and fight you. Now I will give you a profound lesson, for anyone
It’s a good thing for people.”
"No matter how hard you try, there aren't many people who can beat me." Tachibana Aya puffed her lips: "I was just trying to get you because I was looking forward to it so much. Don't get carried away. I can beat you with just one hand."
Hit ten.”
"Huh?" Xia Zhi's voice rose up on the spot, and she glared at Tachibana Aya. Perhaps the pain gave Tachibana Aya the courage. She stared back at Xia Zhi without showing any weakness: "You can't beat me even if you stare at me."
"I can't beat you, can't I make you so hungry that you can't move anymore?" Xia Zhi looked at Tachibana Aya like a fool, who was stunned for a moment: "That's right. No! I can't go outside the store.
Or eat food from a convenience store?”
"If you are willing, I can save one dinner."
"No! I can't skip my dinner!" Tachibana Aya protested on the spot, but Xia Zhi had already anticipated this result and did not appear surprised at all.
"I can't miss my supper!"
"I heard it. Why are you repeating it twice?" Xia Zhi lowered his head and continued to wipe the cup. It felt like he had nothing to do but go back to his old job. It was actually quite satisfying. This is the life that a good salted fish longs for.
"If you didn't hear it or pretended not to hear it, Tachibana-sama will starve to death. How could I let this happen?" Tachibana Aya lay down on the counter again, took out her mobile phone and started playing.
"Oh, by the way, I want a glass of juice." Tachibana took out... the air from her pocket with her other hand. She was stunned for a moment, then she couldn't help but sit up straight and touched her pocket carefully.
Probably because he didn't feel it, he put the phone on the counter and reached for his other pocket with the other hand, but still couldn't find it. Tachibana Aya's expression became strange.
"What's wrong?"
"It seems like I left all the money at home when I was changing clothes..." Tachibana Aya cried sadly.
"I didn't forget my cell phone. Where are the keys?"
"The keys are still there, do you want me to run back again? I'm so tired, I won't drink anymore. Give me a glass of water." Tachibana Aya gave up, lying on the counter and continued to look at her phone.
Natsuki glanced at her. He suspected that Tachibana Aya was sure that he would give her a glass of juice. Although he could indeed give her a glass of cold water, there was no special meaning in doing so. They were all so familiar with each other anyway, so in fact,
No difference.
Xia Zhi turned around and poured a glass of juice for Tachibana Aya: "Give me the money back tomorrow."
"Oh! I love you so much!" Tachibana Aya picked up the cup and drank half of it without hesitation. After finishing the drink, she still looked a little dissatisfied: "How can the juice be warm? Can you add some juice to me?"
Ice?"
"Of course that's impossible. It's such a cold day, and it might rain later. Why don't you drink a cold drink? Be honest."
"oh."
Tachibana Aya didn't make any noise this time. She responded honestly and continued to lie on the counter and play with her mobile phone. Xia Zhi suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, but found that she felt a bit too cheap, so she shook her head.
, forgot about it.
Time passed by so inadvertently, and customers came and went, until a person who could not be ignored walked into the store. His whole body was blocked by the paper bag in his arms, and he could not see.
It was obvious, but Xia Zhi was sure that this person was definitely the store manager. There was no special reason, and he didn't see any easily identifiable characteristics. Just based on intuition, Xia Zhi was sure that this person was definitely the store manager.
Xia Zhi could always guess exactly what was in the paper bag in his hand.
After all, Xia Zhi knew very well what kind of person the store manager was.
Carrying the pile of paper bags and walking to the counter, the store manager put them all on the ground: "Oh, I'm exhausted."
"What are these things?" Xia Zhi asked.
"I went to a second-hand store today. I was planning to sell some things. Unexpectedly, there were a lot of interesting things in there, so I bought them back. There are even some items that have only been sold once in the past two years.
The limited edition magical girl figure is 80% new. I don’t know what the guy who sold it to the second-hand store was thinking. But it’s cheap, so I’ll do it.” The store manager folded his hands and looked very proud.
"Isn't there no difference at all if you sell and buy?" Xia Zhi looked at the pile of paper bags: "No, with your character, you must have spent all the money on the things you sold, and maybe even repaid them.
A lot of people went in."
The store manager suddenly became stiff. It was obvious that Xia Zhi had told the truth about the matter. Then he became slightly annoyed and angry.
"Of course I've made a profit! I exchanged unnecessary things for so many treasures. It's nothing to put in a little money!? Besides, has the money disappeared and knowledge become something I like?
, they are still with me."
"Don't play with this old joke..." Xia Zhi looked at him: "Now that you're here, do you mean I can go back?"
"Ah, I went to a second-hand store today, so I came a lot earlier than usual. But if you want to go back, you can go back. After all, if you go earlier, I can go home earlier."
Xia Zhi thought for a while and shook his head.
"If we go back now, it will be a little early to eat. It's better to go there later. Anyway, it won't be much different."
"It's up to you." The store manager spread his hands and suddenly remembered something: "How is my sister's condition? Is she feeling better?"
"I'm fine now. It's just a slight fever. Drink some hot water and take a rest and you'll be fine."
"That's good. Next time, remember to prioritize things clearly. Do you understand?"
"I know." Xia Zhi didn't care very much and waved his hand.
The store manager was not ready to nag any more, so he picked up the pile of paper bags and walked towards the employee room.
