Xia Zhi was sitting on the bed in the bedroom at this moment, not knowing what to do.
Today, Tachibana Aya, who was supposed to continue disturbing herself and delaying her rest time, suddenly did some unnecessary things and went back as she said. Although these unnecessary things did help herself a lot. It was just right.
Because of this, Xia Zhi now has a current situation where he doesn't know what to do.
It feels a bit strange to have hidden feelings that you didn't even notice are dug out by others, but it's not like you just pretend not to admit it and don't want to express gratitude. First of all, what Tachibana Aya did is really helpful.
Busy, secondly, this is indeed something that needs to be considered.
Although he doesn't know the reason, he probably said the wrong thing. This is a common thing, and there is no need to deny it. Xia Zhi himself will not feel a headache because of such a thing. The key point that he needs to pay attention to is not here.
At least it's not here now.
Wanting to get Shiraishi Rika back to her previous state, this is what Xia Zhi is thinking now.
She didn't even know what happened, but she was extremely clear that she was the cause of this situation. The guilt caused by Shiraishi Rika's depression was not something that Natsuki could easily get rid of.
Wanting to go back to the previous state where there was no psychological burden and everyone was relatively happy is completely sufficient as a motivation. There is nothing more valuable than an ordinary life. Leave aside the happy things, but the unhappy things are still
A stone that can make ripples is not very compatible with a peaceful life.
But for solving problems, it is very important to prescribe the right medicine. Whether it is to solve the current problem or to prevent the same mistake in the future, it is very important. But I want to find out
The reason why Shiraishi Rika is depressed is still too difficult for Xia Zhi.
Although he is very approachable, girls are still girls after all, and they may have more thoughts and feelings about the same thing. Xia Zhi is just an ordinary person and does not have the ability to solve this problem alone. Helpers are very necessary.
But, who should I look for? Although I know a lot of girls, there is no one who I can ask for details. Tachibana Aya can be eliminated first, although I can see that she is quite attentive when I went to the small park before.
But she is so unreliable that she probably won't be able to solve the current situation.
As a party involved, Shiraishi Rika will naturally not be the subject of Xia Zhi’s inquiry.
There is one person who is quite suitable...Ryoko Yamamoto. As a girl, Ryoko Yamamoto is a little too energetic, but her familiarity with Rika Shiraishi is astonishing to Natsuki, although she is also extremely unreliable like Aya Tachibana.
She is in the same camp, but now I can rely on her with confidence.
In any case, one can find a change in a person whose expression and demeanor have almost remained unchanged, which is enough to prove the extent of Yamamoto Ryoko's concern for Shiraishi Rika and her unshown attentiveness and observation ability.
And she is probably the person who knows Shiraishi Lihua the best among the people Xia Zhi knows. Finding her is indeed the best choice now, or always.
Fortunately, Xia Zhi did keep her contact information well.
Although I don’t know whether it is cheaper to save money on phone bills or Internet communication in this era, but since there are things that can be used for free, Xia Zhi will certainly not use them.
【Are you there?】
It was now past nine o'clock in the evening, and Yamamoto Ryoko probably didn't go to bed so soon. As soon as the message was sent, almost in the next second, Xia Zhi received a reply from Yamamoto Ryoko.
【exist】
After a short greeting, there was a chatting technique similar to Tachibana Aya's word segmentation and sentence segmentation.
【It's really strange】
[You actually took the initiative to chat with me]
【Is something wrong? 】
[If it’s Lihua’s matter]
[It doesn’t matter if I tell you]
[But after it’s done]
【How do you want to thank me?】
Maybe the Internet is developing too fast, and girls have awakened new soul-binding abilities, but this is not the topic to be discussed now. Knowing that Yamamoto Ryoko is currently in a state of leisure playing with her mobile phone, Natsuki gets straight to the point.
.
[I want to ask something about Lihua]
【Are you actually enlightened? 】
[Don’t say anything stupid, it’s about what you said at noon today]
【Noon today?】
【Oh, what is it?】
[Although I’m not sure why yet]
【But what about that child】
[You must be confused about something now]
[Maybe it’s something I’m afraid I’ll be worried about if I find out]
[She does that whenever something happens]
[If you don’t observe carefully, it’s easy to overlook it]
[It looks quite like her style]
[Unfortunately, I have always been very serious about her affairs]
If one of Shiraishi Rika and Yamamoto Ryoko is a boy, they will definitely get married one day in the future, right? Even if their relationship goes further, it is possible that they will become girls even if they are both.
They decided to get married. Their relationship had gone beyond a good relationship, which still made Xia Zhi feel very envious.
[I still don’t know what exactly happened. But if you want to help, just make Lihua happy! 】
I came to ask you because I didn’t know what to do...Xia Zhi didn’t send this sentence out.
[I used to be alone, but now I can’t seem to handle it alone.]
[Compared to before, Lihua is getting better and better. Probably because she is getting better and better, now she prefers to hide problems in her heart and solve them alone than before. Really, what do you think of a friend?
】
[I will ask more about why she became like this.]
[However, I am quite surprised that you would take the initiative to ask me. I have to work hard next, the goal is to capture the rich daughter of the Shiraishi Group! 】
The content of the conversation that was originally relatively serious was suddenly shot to the ends of the earth by Ryoko Yamamoto. Natsuki looked at Ryoko Yamamoto's one-sided message with both laughter and tears.
However, what she said was quite right.
If all problems are hidden in the heart and solved by oneself, then what is the meaning of friends? The so-called friends do not exist just to share happy things. Sharing happy things is in the hope that this happiness can be given to friends.
They bring the same happiness. If a friend encounters difficulties, of course he will help them, but when he encounters difficulties, he chooses to hide them. This is unfair.
The question about Lihua still needs to be considered carefully. Even if the cause of the matter is not clear yet, and what to do is not clear yet, if you think about it carefully, even if you can't get the answer, you can still get something.
.
【Thank you】
[No, if I know anything I will contact you again]
【Go and think about it now and get the answer】
【That must be the best choice you can make】
I always felt that Ryoko Yamamoto seemed to be imitating someone, and what she said seemed to be full of philosophy. However, Xia Zhi had no research on philosophy, and probably even the most basic knowledge was lacking. He did not expect that Ryoko Yamamoto was imitating him.
Who. If she really thought of it and said it herself, I have to say that she does have some ability to confuse people.
I thought he was a miscellaneous character without superpowers, but suddenly he appeared to be able to act as a life mentor. Maybe Ryoko Yamamoto also completed her transformation at some point.
So, next...it's time to think for yourself.
On the other side of the city, Ryoko Yamamoto was lying on the bed in her bedroom, holding a mobile phone in her hand and an unfolded light novel next to her.
"Oh my, I think I said something very cool just now."
She seemed very happy and satisfied.
"As expected, romance novels can only be called romance novels if there are characters like this. There are so many people who can say cool things. It's great to be born in Japan."
This state lasted for a while, and then her expression gradually calmed down, and then turned to confusion and headache.
"You can't figure out Lihua's matter by just guessing... It's better to call and ask, right?"
The novel she was reading in her hands just now was thrown on the bed and ignored.
Turn the time back to six o'clock, the Shiraishi family home.
"I'm back."
"Welcome back."
I could hear my mother's voice coming from the living room. It was probably Chijima-san who was still cooking today. But the faint sense of expectation that should have been rising as usual seemed to have disappeared today, which made people feel confused. But Shiraishi Rika chose to
Such doubts were hidden together with other things, and a relaxed and faster smile appeared on his face.
Because you can't let your parents worry, they have more important things to worry about.
"Did you encounter anything good at school today? You smiled happier than usual."
My mother saw her smile and asked.
"Nothing, just like usual. I'm going to put away my schoolbag first."
Shiraishi Reihua stomped up the stairs.
"This child..." Sanae Shiraishi shook his head and smiled, then his expression changed and he looked at a certain head of the family who was reading the newspaper as if nothing had happened.
"Hero, when are you going to tell Lihua about that?"
"That thing?"
"You're still pretending to be stupid because it's about you going to open a branch abroad. Haven't you already done the inspection?"
Sanae Shiraishi rolled her eyes at him, and the latter reluctantly put down the newspaper in his hand.
"Look at the child who is so happy now, what should I tell her? It is also difficult to be a good father."
"You are delaying it longer and longer now, and you only tell her when you are about to leave. I think she will be even more sad. If you tell her now, you can give her a lot of time to prepare mentally."
"Father, mother, what are you talking about?" The daughter's voice suddenly came from behind. Sanae Shiraishi's whole body trembled, and the newspaper in Hero Shiraishi's hand was torn because of excessive force: "What kind of mentality
Prepare?"
Now it seems that it is impossible not to say it. Hero Shiraishi took a deep breath: "Lihua, do you know that the company is going to open a branch in China? I also went on an on-site inspection a few days ago because of this matter. This matter is probably
It’s already been determined.”
"I know." Shiraishi Rika nodded. Because her parents had the idea of training her to be the successor of the company, Shiraishi Rika has basically participated in and discussed these matters. Even if not, she will at least know a little bit of information.
.
"Well, it's like this. Because the New Year has just passed, the company's manpower is relatively tight now, and there are no more suitable management personnel who can be sent there, so if nothing else happens... I will probably go there in person, because the people over there are
The work is very important to the company, so it cannot be taken lightly. Therefore, you may have to stay there for a relatively long period of time."
"Moreover, Mom and I should also be able to help you go there. But we don't trust you at home alone, so we hope you will go with us. That's about it. Are you willing?"
I didn't hear the end of my mother's words, and I also got an idea from my father's solemn tone, and more or less guessed the result, but...
"Do you want me to come with you?" As if confirming something, Shiraishi Lihua asked calmly.
"We hope you can go together, because this time you may go there for a relatively long time, and the branch has just started, so we can also provide you with some opportunities to practice. However, the most important thing is that your mother doesn't want to let you go."
As soon as Hero Shiraishi finished speaking, he found himself glared at by his wife. He pretended not to see it and tried to throw the pot away.
"Is it...?" He tried very hard to control his expression. Just not letting himself show anything bad was already exhausting and left him no time to think: "I understand.
.But can you let me consider it?"
"Of course, because this is a decision you need to make anyway." Sanae Shiraishi also tried to throw the blame away, but in the end the blame fell on Reika Shiraishi.
"Hey, is Xiaolihua back?"
A young woman wearing a white chef's uniform walked out of the kitchen, with a round face full of smiles: "Xiao Lihua, come on, let me show you the delicious new food I have developed today!"
Then Shiraishi Rika was pulled into the kitchen.
Although Ms. Chijima is still enthusiastically introducing the delicacy she has newly developed, both in terms of appearance and aroma, it is very good, but Rika Shiraishi has no interest today, but she still has the same faint smile on her face as usual.
Ms. Qiandao is so amazing. She can do what she wants to do with such concentration. Sure enough, she is still very immature...
Today, it looks the same as usual, nothing has changed. What is slightly different are the trivial thoughts in a girl's heart.
