Chapter 57 Anyway, it's a bit too much to play until six o'clock, isn't it?
The soft sound of the wind chime echoed in the coffee shop again. Natsuki raised his head and looked in the direction of the shop door. What walked in was another person who worked in this shop, a girl named Mayumi Maeda.
"good afternoon."
"Good afternoon, Senior Xia Zhi."
Mayumi said hello to Natsuki and let out a long sigh of relief when she walked in.
"It's really hot. Has it reached this point?"
"If you feel hot, why don't you go and take a rest. Anyway, there are not many guests now."
Although it is out of polite kindness, it can only produce different effects on different people. For serious people, the effect is not very good. Especially for Mayumi, who is a bit serious.
With eyes wide open, Mayumi put one hand on her waist, pointed one finger at Xia Zhi, and began to accuse.
"He who does not work shall not eat. This sentence is obviously passed down from China. Senior Xia Zhi, can't you be more serious?"
"Even if you say so...just do as the Romans do."
"What a rude person! Our country doesn't have this custom of asking others to be lazy!"
Mayumi protested.
"I know, I know. Go and have a rest now, otherwise we won't let you rest when the guests come later."
Xia Zhi said perfunctorily.
Human beings are extremely fragile yet strong creatures. They may die due to various problems, or they may survive due to various factors. Sometimes, it may be just a hit on the head.
, or being hit on the chest, a person's body functions will gradually disappear. And sometimes, a person who is already in the state of having one foot in the door of hell may also be affected by someone else's words or a simple person.
Just a simple thought to get through it and continue living.
However, the proportion of those who survived strongly and those who died of injuries and illnesses was clearly dominated by the latter. Therefore, vulnerability is the norm and strength is the abnormality. Can we say so? It should be possible.
Right? Well... forget it, it's quite troublesome, let's just treat it like that.
On earth, humans are already fragile enough creatures, and relatively speaking, girls are more fragile than boys. If I had to list some strong examples, I could probably list quite a few, but
Relative to men, there are enough.
Girls are fragile, Xia Zhi was told this. At first he realized that it was two parents who told him that he must protect her and his sister. Then, when he came to his senses, he had already
Came abroad...
If there is an overachieving person in the family, there will always be a lot of pressure.
All in all! Girls are fragile, and this idea was brought over completely. Whether it was prejudice or real, it was just brought over. Then, it was spoken out subconsciously.
Then he realized, ah, he was no longer at home. In order to cover up his embarrassment, Natsuki urged Mayumi to leave. He pointed at Tachibana Aya who was tapping the keyboard in the back.
"Just right. Please help me take this over."
Xia Zhi handed her the already placed dinner plate.
"If you want to work, can you at least let me change into my uniform?"
"So it's not time for you to work yet. If you get heatstroke due to work, it will be a big problem. Just let me go."
Mayumi glanced at Aya Tachibana sitting in the corner, and then looked at Natsuki with a complicated expression.
"Okay. But I have a condition." Mayumi raised a finger, "Tell me clearly what happened between you and Tachibana-senpai."
"It's just that kind of thing." There was nothing to say anyway, it wasn't a problem at all to him.
Mayumi walked towards Tachibana Aya carrying a plate. Natsuki watched Tachibana Aya gently press down her laptop, take off her glasses and put them on top. After taking a long breath, she smiled at Mayumi who was slowly walking over and started talking.
Hello. Not sure if it was an illusion, Natsuki felt that Mayumi paused halfway, and that was the moment when Tachibana Aya looked at her.
However, there is nothing wrong with the expressions of the two of them, so there should be no problem. Even if there is a problem, he should not be asked by an outsider. If you don't know, you have no right to speak. Speech is free, but you can evaluate it at will.
It's easy to be disliked.
The weather is still very hot. Occasionally, one or two guests who want to enjoy the air conditioning can easily come in. If there are more guests, it will be great. If there are fewer guests, it will be easy. When the number of people increases,
Sometimes, when we get busier and busier, we always think that it would be better if there were fewer customers and it would be easier. But when there are really fewer customers, people will have boring thoughts like why don't more customers come.
Human beings are contradictory creatures. A coin can only have one side up, and you cannot have it both ways. Some people get it, and some people lose it. Even though it is such a simple truth, there are still many people who cannot understand it and greedily want everything.
things, and then become nothing. From ancient times to the present, countless stories have illustrated this point to the world.
Xia Zhi, who has long been aware of what he can do and what he should do, has thought about it thoroughly and has nothing to hesitate about.
The sound of the wind chimes rang again, and Xia Zhi faced the guests.
Just as he turned around and put the juice and cake on the plate, a pair of hands stretched out from the side and took the plate away. Xia Zhi glanced at Mayumi who had changed clothes at some point.
"That's not even five minutes, is it? If it were me, I would probably rest until six o'clock."
"Anyway, playing until six o'clock is a bit too much, isn't it?"
She looked around again and spotted the guest who had just walked in.
"It's that guest, right?"
Natsuki nodded, and Mayumi immediately walked over with the things, placed them on the table, and then came back.
"Why don't you just take a rest for a while? Aren't you and Tachibana Aya from the same school? I'm not very good at dealing with people like her who are extravagant."
"Where did Tachibana-senpai escape?" Mayumi looked confused: "Although he is not meticulous, he should be a very dignified person."
"Ah?" Xia Zhiye looked at Mayumi in confusion, and fell into deep thought after confirming that she was not joking.
"Your expression is very strange." Mayumi said this. When Mayumi took things to clean the table, Xia Zhi couldn't help but turned her head and observed the person who was said to be solemn. The other party felt Xia Zhi's gaze.
, smiled and waved. He also looked approachable, but...
It seems that there is indeed something different. Although it is just a very subtle feeling, and Natsuki, who is slightly short-sighted, cannot see Tachibana Aya's face clearly. It is a little hazy, and it is not that there is something missing or something added, it's just that
It's just different. But what exactly is the difference?
I can feel it, but I can't express it.
Under Tachibana Aya's increasingly confused gaze, Xia Zhi turned around and continued to look at the empty store door. It doesn't matter to me, hang up high, it doesn't matter to me, hang up high, it doesn't matter
If the matter has nothing to do with "Ji Gao Gao Hang", important things should be repeated three times. At the same time, refer to the common sense that there are five people in the Four Heavenly Kings. Reciting it four times should be enough.
How other people live and want is her business. Interfering at will is disrespectful to her, and it is also a kind of self-deception and arrogance. The great teacher should have taught this matter countless times.
The so-called big things are made up of small things piled up one by one. If being able to interfere in other people's private affairs is regarded as a big goal, then providing some help can be regarded as small things used to pile up. However, just
Xia Zhi, who was not involved in such a trivial matter, let alone intervene, whether he was qualified to intervene or not was another matter.
Therefore, the best way to deal with it is to ignore her.
"That's too much, Xia Zhijun. You obviously saw me saying hello to you, right?"
This troublesome woman actually ran over by herself.
"Even if I say hello, don't come over. I'm still working."
"What does it matter? There are no guests anyway."
She sat down on her own.
"Just leave your things there, is that okay?"
Xia Zhi pointed to the things she had placed on the table. The mobile phone was connected to the data cable and was charging. It was placed on the table, the laptop, and an unknown document bag containing something. All of them looked like
It's something important enough, but doesn't this person have any common sense?
"It's okay, it's okay. You can see it from here. After all, it's not that far away."
"Be more careful."
Natsuki really wanted her to go over and put away all her things, but Tachibana Aya always pretended to be stupid and changed the subject, "At least put away your phone..." After asking her, she walked away and put away her phone.
return.
"Speaking of which, Xia Zhi. What are you having for dinner?"
"How do I know? The store manager and his friends went to the zoo and they should bring me something when they come back."
Sayuri-san said it herself, so it's probably not wrong. But I hope you don't put mustard... I have no idea about that.
"Eh? What about my dinner?"
"Eh? Aren't you going to go home for dinner?"
Tachibana Aya was stunned, and Natsuki who saw Tachibana Aya stunned was also stunned. Ah, there really are people like this who go to others to eat and drink without any warning.
"You shouldn't be short of money, right? Just go find a restaurant nearby to eat."
"I'm not the kind of person who likes to eat out."
"In this case, the coffee shop can be considered outside!"
"If you always worry about these little things, you won't be able to find a girlfriend."
She raised a finger with a serious look on her face.
"I don't think about girlfriends now."
Tachibana Aya was silent for a while.
"It will turn into nine."
"...You jumped too far into the topic and I don't know how to pick it up."
In the end, Tachibana Aya was driven back by Natsuki on the grounds of hindering business.
