Natsuki did not accompany Shiraishi Rika and Yamamoto Ryoko to finish the lunch. After hastily finishing the lunch, Natsuki left early with the excuse of "I want to ask Sakuraba-sensei something." But what he wanted to do was different from what he said.
Likewise, I'm sorry for telling lies, but it's an important matter so there's nothing I can do about it.
During lunch break, the school is almost full of people. Everywhere there are students eating lunch alone or in groups. It is not easy to find a quieter place. Generally, the roof of a school is not a particularly sacred place.
, but most of them will be locked up to prevent any accidents.
But it was very difficult to find a clean place. After thinking for a while, Xia Zhi decided to go to the classroom where Rishi practiced music and say hello to Rishi. It felt like he hadn't seen each other for a long time.
Walking to the door of the classroom, Xia Zhi didn't hear anything, but he still knocked lightly, but got no response. Did you not come here today? Xia Zhi opened the door of the classroom.
Then I saw the little angel sitting by the window and eating lunch while looking at the playground. But judging from the strings hanging down from her ears, she was probably wearing headphones.
Is that why you didn’t hear it?
Rise was eating lunch and didn't notice his arrival. Natsuki hesitated whether to go up to say hello. Rise seemed to have noticed and turned around, and saw Natsuki who was about to close the door and leave.
"senior?"
"Okay noon. Are you having lunch?"
Xia Zhi felt that he couldn't leave, so he stepped into the classroom and closed the door.
"Hmm. Have you finished eating, senior?"
Rishi put the lunch box on her lap and reached out to take off her headphones.
"Because they are all dishes made by myself. I was too lazy to cook a lot, so I finished them quickly."
"It turns out that senior can cook by himself." Rise blinked: "Although I can do it myself, I get up late, so my mother usually cooks it for me. As for my sister, she doesn't even know much about salt and sugar.
You can tell the difference clearly."
I accidentally acquired some valuable information. If I sell it to those dead houses, I think I can make a lot of money.
"That's really a disaster." Xia Zhi expressed sympathy.
"Hehe. But did senior come to see me practice today? It's a pity, because I seem to have caught a cold, so I can't practice. I will probably go back to the classroom after lunch."
"If you have a cold, it's best to go to the infirmary. If you're not careful, it may turn into a more serious illness."
"Don't worry about me. I've already been to the infirmary before and got the medicine. I heard the new infirmary teacher said that it will be fine as long as you drink more hot water."
Unfortunately, when Xia Zhi heard the words "drink more hot water", he felt uneasy at all.
"Remember to take your medicine."
"...Senior is very worried, but I'm fine. By the way, senior, do you want to try it? My mother's cooking is delicious."
Xia Zhi waved his hand, he would not accept such an invitation so rudely.
"I've already eaten. Rishi, just eat slowly by yourself."
"Really? What a shame."
Rishi's face showed some obvious disappointment, which made Xia Zhi feel as if he had done something heinous. He regretted rejecting the other party's invitation. But it was too shameless to accept it, so he just had to be patient.
.
"Rishi, you have a cold and you still open the window. Isn't it cold?"
"It's good to open the windows to get some fresh air, and it's not too cold now, so it'll be fine."
Rise picked up the lunch box again and started eating.
"But senior, it's better to go back earlier today. It won't be good if you catch a cold."
"It's okay, I'm used to catching a cold."
"Isn't this something worth showing off?" Rishi complained: "Senior is indeed very strange."
"Speaking of which, Rise, is there a girl named Itsuka Yuan in your class?"
"Itsukawa-kun? I know. She is sitting next to me. She is a very cute girl. Do you like her, senior?"
Xia Zhi almost shed tears. From the beginning to the end, no matter who it was, everyone was moving towards an unhealthy student life.
"That's not the case. What does Rise think of her?"
"Itsuka-san is a very good girl. She has a good relationship with everyone, but she is different from me."
"So, if you were asked to become friends with her, would you be willing?"
"Eh?" Rise stopped eating her lunch.
"With me?"
Xia Zhi nodded.
"I know Wuhe, because we come to school early every morning, and we became friends after saying hello. I think she is very nice, Rise, do you want to be friends with her? I can introduce her to you.
"
Originally, the reason why Amamiya Rise had no friends was not because there was anything objectionable about her. On the contrary, after getting along with her for a while, you can understand that she is a gentler person than most people, but this gentleness is also
It became a burden to her. Perhaps because she was overprotected, Rise became not good at getting close to others. If she hadn't intervened forcefully, she would have rarely had the chance to become friends with her.
It was just a coincidence that I was able to meet her and become what I am now.
If you understand this, you have found the most fundamental thing to find friends for her.
Rise is a good child, so you don’t have to worry about that. As long as she introduces other children that Rise likes to, it’s probably not that difficult to become her friends. Then this most difficult part can be mediated by yourself, and you can support yourself.
A channel that allows Li Shi to communicate with others will naturally solve the problem.
Although this is a bit tough, it also has corresponding benefits. If the two people are not compatible, then whether it is for Rishi or Wuhe, the relationship between them will end with Xia Zhi himself.
In the end, it doesn't turn out to be bad, it just makes an uncertain candidate become a sure thing.
This is the method Xia Zhi found after talking to Wu Heyuan for a while.
"But, Itsuka-san...will you want to talk to me?" Rise looked a little troubled: "Mysore-san also wanted to come over and talk to me before, but I don't know what to do, so...such words have been rejected.
Are you disgusted?"
"Don't worry, I will explain it well." And judging from Wuhe's previous words, the other party does not seem to hate Rise, which is already a very good state.
There are always people who are not good at sociability in this world. If you just ignore them, they probably won’t have any interactions with anyone except family members in this life. This is too pitiful. Not being good at sociability does not mean that you don’t want to be sociable.
, don’t even dead nerds have friends who only exist on the Internet? Human beings are the most typical social creatures, and social interaction is something that everyone pursues. The biggest difference is whether you want a few close friends or not
I just want friends all over the world.
"This, this...can you let me think about it?"
"Probably not. If I ask you to think about it, Rishi, I might be perfunctory by you, so this matter has been decided like this. Just accept it as if you were bullied by your senior!"
"Ugh..." Rishi looked at Xia Zhi with a weak expression: "Senior is bullying."
Xia Zhi almost lost control. Not wanting to have a girlfriend doesn't mean that he has no desire. The two are not the same thing.
He took a deep breath and calmed down a little.
"Anyway, this matter has been decided. I will tell you when I have figured out what to do."
"So you haven't thought about it yet?" Rishi looked relieved.
Really, if you have such an idea, you will never succeed no matter what you do.
"Rishi, you want friends, right?"
Xia Zhi asked seriously.
Because her anger changed slightly, Rishi also noticed Xia Zhi's tone, and her expression gradually became serious.
He nodded equally seriously: "I want it!"
Xia Zhi quietly held down his hand that was about to move.
"Want friends!"
"That's right. If you want friends, you must have such thoughts and awareness."
"But so shy..."
As if shouting some shameful line, Rise glanced to the other side. Although Natsuki also felt a little ashamed of her serious look just now, she couldn't show it at this time. Just because she was a senior, she felt ashamed as well.
, but you must not show it. This is the persistence of being an elder.
"Ah, it's been so long, I have to finish lunch quickly."
Suddenly realizing that her lunch had not been finished, Rise started eating again, as if to avoid her shyness. Natsuki walked to the back half of the classroom and pulled out a chair. Fortunately, there was no dust.
.
He sat down in the back and waited for Rishi to finish eating. Xia Zhi had not forgotten the purpose of coming here, and he had plenty of time, so there was nothing wrong with taking a little rest.
"Huh, I finally finished eating. Mom always cooks so much, what if I get fat?"
"I think you can get a little fatter. If you are so thin, what if you are blown away by the wind?"
Rishi is not very big, not tall, and does not look fat. In Japan, a place where earthquakes, tsunamis, and typhoons are commonplace, Xia Zhi is a little worried that she will be blown away by the wind one day.
.
"No way! Senior is evil! I want to go back."
"I'm just telling the truth... Rishi, please go back first. I'll rest for a while before going back. The classmates in the classroom are discussing the school festival. I don't want to go back yet. It's too noisy."
"Really... It seems so. Our class is about to start preparing for the school festival, but are we still deciding what to do?"
"...At least take part in these things. It's a rare large-scale event."
"I'm not very interested in these things... Then I'll go back first, and I'll go to the infirmary to ask the teacher again."
"Well, take care of yourself."
"Goodbye, senior."
In this way, Xia Zhi was the only one left in the music classroom. Xia Zhi walked to the seat where Rishi was sitting just now. It was exactly as Rishi said. Even if the window was open, it would not feel cold, but there would be a breeze.
Blowing through it will make the air fresher. Although noisy sounds elsewhere will be transmitted inside through the open window, it still makes people feel very peaceful.
After calming down a little and being mentally prepared, Xia Zhi took out his mobile phone. Because he had already recorded the Shiraishi family's communication information given by Ryoko Yamamoto into his mobile phone in advance, Xia Zhi found them directly in the address book.
First... Xia Zhi took a deep breath and dialed the mobile phone number of Lihua's father, Hideo Shiraishi. Different from the ordinary beeping sound on the phone, Xia Zhi's heart was beating rapidly and even faster.
The trend... This is really not a level where you can calm down by taking deep breaths.
The phone trial didn't last long before it was connected. There was no sound from the other party. Also, although I knew who the other party was, there was probably just an unknown call on the other party's phone.
Then, let yourself speak first.
"Hello, are you Mr. Shiraishi, the hero of Shiraishi?"
"Yes, it's me." A somewhat majestic voice came over.
"I'm sorry, please allow me to introduce myself first. My name is Xia Zhi. I am an international student from China and a classmate of your daughter."
"It turns out it's you..."
Although I don’t know why the other party has such a meaningful tone, the call must continue.
"Do you have time? I want to discuss some issues with you."
Taking a deep breath for the second time, Xia Zhi relaxed a little.
"Discuss things about your daughter, my classmate, Shiraishi Rika."
"Oh? Did something happen to Lihua at school?"
"That's not the case. Shiraishi-san is doing well in school and nothing happened."
"That's it...it seems like I won't be able to finish it in a while. So, let me take a look...do you have anything to do between 3:30 and 5:00 tomorrow afternoon?"
Although I have a job, I can only take leave at this time.
"No."
"Then you can come over with Lihua after school in the afternoon."
"...It's a little inconvenient."
"...Then just come here by yourself. Since you already know the phone number, you should also know the address, right?"
"terribly sorry."
"No need to apologize. Although I still don't know what you and the little girl from the Yamamoto family want to do, but based on the relationship between her and Lihua, she should not do anything to make Lihua sad. Then, at 3:30 tomorrow afternoon
I will wait for you at home."
"Thank you very much. Then I won't disturb your work. I wish you good luck in your work."
After getting the other party's response, Xia Zhi hung up the phone. To be honest, the short conversation just now was almost as much as he had spoken respectfully in half a year.
Next, I have to make a call to Lihua’s mother.
Although unlike Lihua's father, Lihua's mother was very interested in her passing away, but she had to admit that Shiraishi Lihua did have an excellent family both in family and career.
