Natsuki packed his schoolbag, but this time he was not so fast, so he was blocked by Ryoko Yamamoto and Rika Shiraishi. Well, although this was also part of the plan, he could not stay in the classroom for so long.
Before leaving the classroom door, Shiraishi Rika would have been more suspicious.
Last night, after telling Ryoko Yamamoto about the meeting she had arranged with Shiraishi Reika's father, she directly told Natsuki her plan. Although she felt something was strange, it might still work.
"Xia Zhi, today is unexpectedly slow."
"I have a little something to do today, so the store has asked for leave."
"It's really rare that something will happen to you."
Natsuki rolled her eyes at Ryoko Yamamoto's rude remarks. Although she understood that this was probably part of the plan, she would not go into such detail.
"Since everything is okay, do you want to hang out with us?"
"Liangzi, didn't Xia Zhijun say something happened?"
It’s not like I have to defend myself. It’s just that my conscience is a little difficult to deal with now.
"Really, it's a pity. Then Lihua and I will go play together."
"Well, have fun. Lihua too."
"Thanks."
Shiraishi Rika and Yamamoto Ryoko left. About a minute later, Natsuki took out her mobile phone. The time had come to 3:08. She was a little nervous, but now the battery of the mobile phone was a little bad. Natsuki held the mobile phone.
, I copied the address of Shiraishi's house on the paper, so I don't have to worry too much even if my phone runs out of battery by then.
According to Ryoko Yamamoto, the Shiraishi family is not that far from the school. Although Shiraishi Rika often comes to school in her own car, just like a traditional eldest lady, that is just because she doesn’t know the road very well. Although let
People find it a bit surprising, but people are born with balance, which doesn't surprise Xia Zhi. She is already a perfect person, and a little problem will make her more real.
Even though my body shape seems to have not changed much after nearly a year.
Natsuki started to set off. Although Yamamoto Ryoko said it very lightly, Natsuki had never actually been there. There might be some mistake that would cause him to be late. This would really not be beneficial to the upcoming conversation, and might even affect it.
It is better to pay attention to the outcome of the conversation as much as possible.
Xia Zhi was grateful for the convenience brought by the development of technology while navigating on the electronic map of his mobile phone, which no longer consumed a lot of electricity.
On the other side, Shiraishi Rika was taken in a different direction by Yamamoto Ryoko.
"I said I wanted to go play, but where are we going?"
"So you didn't plan it before..."
Shiraishi Rika sighed.
"It's nice not to be so prepared for some things. I don't go here very often. Why don't you go and have a look? There might be a shop selling delicious snacks." Ryoko Yamamoto pointed in one direction, and she said
It is a road that is not very familiar, and Shiraishi Rika rarely goes to these places, because this is not the fastest way to reach the destination, and she does not even walk very often, so it is easy to get lost when she is alone.
"Let's go." Shiraishi Lihua nodded.
They couldn't go very far, but Ryoko Yamamoto found something that surprised her.
"Is there actually a crepe shop selling crepes here?" Ryoko Yamamoto stood looking at the long queue of stalls and looked at them: "It looks delicious."
"After all, there is such a long queue."
"Would you like to wait here? It doesn't seem like it will take long if you wait in line a little bit."
"It's okay...but Ryoko, I seem to have left my wallet at home today."
Shiraishi Rika touched her coat pocket, but her wallet was not there where it should have been. Thinking about it, she probably put it on the table in the bedroom when she was packing her schoolbag yesterday.
"So Lihua, you can be so careless sometimes." Yamamoto Ryoko laughed happily: "It doesn't matter. Although I can't go to super luxurious stores or anything like that, if it's just crepes, I can still afford them...
"
Yamamoto Ryoko's smile froze. She took out the money from her pocket. She didn't forget the money at home or anything like Shiraishi Rika did. She didn't even have a wallet, and the money was always in her pocket. Although
She had lost it many times, but the amount was not very large, and she didn't feel too distressed, or even if she did, she didn't want to buy a wallet or anything like that.
But she is indeed rich, but...
Shiraishi Rika looked at the four hundred yen coins in her hand and didn't know what to say.
The corners of Yamamoto Ryoko's eyes twitched: "It's okay. Let's buy one and share it. Anyway, we just want to give it a try."
"But..." Shiraishi Rika pointed to a sign in front of the stall: "The cheapest crepe costs 500 yen."
Yamamoto Ryoko almost spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Damn it! Humph, isn't it just a crepe? I don't like eating it!"
Shiraishi Rika smiled helplessly. She thought of something and looked back. It's not that far from the school now, so there should be a bus passing by...Yes!
"Ryoko, this way!" Uncharacteristically, Rika Shiraishi grabbed Yamamoto Ryoko's hand and ran towards the roadside.
"Hey? What's wrong?" Ryoko Yamamoto was confused. It wasn't until Lika Shiraishi took her to the bus that she finally realized: "Bus?"
"That's right." Shiraishi Rika explained to Yamamoto Ryoko: "Fortunately, I don't put my bus card with my wallet, otherwise it would take a lot of effort to walk back and come back here."
"Go back? Come back?" Ryoko Yamamoto still didn't understand what Rika Shiraishi was talking about.
"I remember that you can take a bus to the neighborhood of my home on this route. Because I have tried to come to school alone before, so I did some research. It only takes two or three stops to get to the neighborhood of my home in less than two minutes.
The bus stop is 100 meters away. I'll go back and get my wallet first and then we'll come over again. It shouldn't take long."
As Rika Shiraishi explained her behavior, Ryoko Yamamoto's expression changed drastically.
"No, it can't be done! We still have a lot of places to go!"
"It doesn't matter. Go back and get your wallet. Otherwise, wouldn't it be inconvenient if you can't go to many places? There is a Chinese proverb that says, "A sharpened knife will never stop chopping firewood," which means...
"I don't want to know what those damn words mean!" Ryoko Yamamoto felt like she was sweating: "How about we get off at the next stop? Just treat us as children from poor families with no money?"
"
"That's weird Ryoko, don't you want to eat crepes?"
"I don't want to! I don't want to at all!"
"Stop messing around, you'll be here soon." As if to comfort a child, Shiraishi Rika touched Yamamoto Ryoko's head.
Yamamoto Ryoko knew that she probably couldn't change Shiraishi Rika's mind, so she quickly turned around and secretly took out her mobile phone to send a text message to Xia Zhi. Shiraishi Rika looked at the strange Yamamoto Ryoko in confusion, but she was not prepared to explore anything.
After all, Ryoko is very strange to begin with.
Write me a reply ahhhhhhhhhhhh!
Yamamoto Ryoko was anxiously waiting for Natsuki's reply. If the other party didn't see it, she, Yamamoto Ryoko, would probably have to confess here today.
On the other side, Xia Zhi, who was walking towards Shiraishi's house while looking at the map on his mobile phone, suddenly vibrated. At the top of the screen was a message prompt from the chat software. Xia Zhi saw Ryoko Yamamoto's name, but before he could click on it, his phone suddenly
Shut down.
I'm afraid I just used up the last bit of power.
What a mess... Xia Zhi looked around blankly. He had no idea where he was. All he had in his hand was a dead cell phone and a piece of paper with an address. There was no one around...
…
"Aren't you going to be late?"
Xia Zhi discovered this desperate fact. Then he started walking randomly based on his feelings. Although he might not be able to find the right path, there was still a high probability that he would meet someone. Then he would just ask for directions.
Shiraishi Reika took Yamamoto Ryoko and got off the bus. Shiraishi Reika knew the road here. Without any hesitation, she led Yamamoto Ryoko towards home. It was only less than 200 meters away, and it took a few minutes.
After finishing walking, Yamamoto Ryoko looked around tremblingly behind, hoping that Xia Zhi had not entered Shiraishi Rika's house at this time. If possible, she even wanted to stop Xia Zhi before Xia Zhi and Shiraishi Rika met.
It's really going to kill people.
Shiraishi Lihua took out the key and opened the door of her home easily: "I'm back!"
She just shouted as usual. She originally thought she would get a reply from her mother, but unexpectedly, Shiraishi Lihua saw a pair of eyes full of doubts. Those eyes belonged to her mother.
"Lihua?" Her voice was full of doubts.
"I'm back. What's wrong?"
"No, it's nothing. Welcome back." Sanae Shiraishi glanced at her daughter's back: "Are you the only one?"
"How did mom know that I'm not alone?" Shiraishi Lihua also became confused: "I remember that I really didn't say that I was going to go out with Ryoko today, right?"
"Is that child of the Yamamoto family...I see, that's it, is he going out to play?"
Sanae Shiraishi nodded.
"Well, I forgot to bring my wallet, so I came back to get it first."
"Come back for dinner tonight?"
"She should be back. Ryoko just said we would hang out together."
"Is that so...don't you want to get your wallet? Go quickly, don't keep Ryoko waiting."
"Um."
Mom is so weird today...
Shiraishi Rika walked upstairs with this thought. She had to find her wallet.
Shiraishi Rika's room was on the second floor. The moment she pushed the door in, she saw the wallet she had left on the table. It was placed together with the textbooks that she was not using today. This was probably why she didn't take it away.
He took the wallet and put it into his pocket. Shiraishi Lihua walked out of her room again.
Walking downstairs, she saw her mother talking to Ryoko. She couldn't hear clearly. Shiraishi Rika walked over and realized that a third person had arrived. The conversation between the two stopped. Shiraishi Sanae turned around and looked at her
Daughter: “Did you find your wallet?”
"Found it."
"Then go play and pay attention to safety."
"Um."
Shiraishi Rika nodded and walked towards the entrance. Because the door was open, you could still hear people talking outside.
"This is it."
Shiraishi Rika was very familiar with this voice, because the person who said this was Miss Mantang, the driver who picked her up to school every day. Then, the voice of another person spoke.
"...In the end, I was spared a big circle here?"
This voice is also very familiar to Shiraishi Rika. If this semester is over, she, Ryoko and each other can have a celebration party for one year of knowing each other. However, there is a problem...
"Xia Zhijun?"
The expressions of the two women next to them suddenly changed. Yamamoto Ryoko's expression was particularly solemn. She said softly: "Excuse me." Then she quickly took off her shoes, and with Shiraishi Rei's confusion, she pulled him with her.
She grabbed Shiraishi Lihua and ran upstairs.
Sanae Shiraishi was also aware of the true situation. Although she shook her head with a helpless expression, the raised corners of her mouth revealed her great interest in the development of the matter. By the way, she also collected the shoes of her daughter and Ryoko Yamamoto.
After taking out the shoe cabinet, he gently closed the door and stood at the door waiting.
Things are getting interesting...
After Rika Shiraishi was taken into her room by Yamamoto Ryoko, she was a little angry. Not only because of Yamamoto Ryoko's rough approach, but also because she had understood the fact that Yamamoto Ryoko must have done something without telling her, and
, this matter also involves Xia Zhi.
As if feeling the unkind eyes, Yamamoto Ryoko's brain started to work rapidly with the desire to survive.
"Lihua, please listen to my explanation...but it's too late now. I will explain it to you after the matter is over. Please be quiet now."
Yamamoto Ryoko raised her index finger and put it in front of her lips. Shiraishi Rika wanted to be angry, but she didn't know how to start, so she could only stare at Yamamoto Ryoko. If it caused big trouble for Natsuki this time, even her good friend Shiraishi
Lihua will not let her go so easily. There are some things that cannot be done no matter what. This is a principle.
People outside the house looked up at the house, which covered an area about four to five times that of the apartment they lived in. They were speechless. Note that it was the floor area, not the area of Xia Zhi's room.
He was put under tremendous pressure before he even entered the door, and Xia Zhi felt that he was beginning to think about running away again.
"This is it. But do you have anything to do with this family?"
"Well, I have something very important to say."
"Have you made an appointment to meet this family?"
"Well, I have already agreed, so I came to visit today."
"Really? But I'm just a driver, so I can't take care of that much."
"Hmm...huh?" Xia Zhi turned to look at the kind-hearted elder sister he met halfway.
"Anyway, let's knock on the door first."
Then the eldest sister walked straight to the front door of Shiraishi's house and rang the doorbell.
Xia Zhi stayed on the spot like a stone. He originally wanted to take a deep breath to calm down his mood, but he was dragged into the boss battle before he was even prepared. Isn't this life-threatening?
The door was opened in an instant, which gave Xia Zhi a feeling that "this was premeditated by the other party."
As the door opened, Xia Zhi saw a large Shiraishi Lihua.
