In the end, Natsuki did not wait for Shiraishi Rika to call back. He was forced to talk to Shiraishi Sanae, the mother of Shiraishi Rika, who was overly enthusiastic and had clear goals, and the central figure in the topic came back from taking a bath.
"I've washed it... hmm? Mom, what are you doing with my phone... You! Give me your phone back!" Xia Zhi didn't see it with his own eyes, but Shiraishi Lihua's movements were very vivid as she became extremely flustered because of shyness.
The land appeared in Xia Zhi's mind.
"How stingy. Mom also wants to chat with Xia Zhijun for a while."
"Didn't you say you still have to take a shower? Go quickly now!"
Natsuki clearly sensed the gradually increasing volume of Shiraishi Reika and the gradually disappearing Shiraishi Sanae's volume. The phone must have returned to the hands of its owner.
"...Hello?" After a long silence, Xia Zhi finally heard Shiraishi Lihua's voice: "Xia Zhijun?"
"Well, it's me."
"Did mom say anything to Xia Zhijun just now..."
"No, it's nothing. My aunt just asked me to come over and play when I have free time."
"...I still know what my mother will do. After all, she is my mother..." Shiraishi Lihua's voice also revealed her helplessness.
Xia Zhi felt that if he had nothing to do in the future, he could try to discern what kind of mood others were feeling when they spoke.
"By the way, Xia Zhijun called me for something?"
"It's something related to tomorrow. I wonder if Tachibana Aya has told you what will happen at noon tomorrow."
"Tachibana-san? If it's about asking me to wait for her with Xia Zhijun at noon tomorrow, I already know about it. Tachibana-san also asked me if I know how to make steamed buns... Will I eat at Xia Zhijun's place tomorrow at noon?"
Unexpectedly, Aya Tachibana and Rika Shiraishi actually changed their words when they talked about it. They were saying things like "It's almost the same" in the store before.
"Well, she happened to be coming over for lunch tomorrow, and she said she would come to see us at school and wanted to give us a surprise, so I thought about asking you and Ryoko to come over for lunch."
"No problem. But I'm curious about what surprise Tachibana-san is talking about. Does Xia Zhijun know?"
"I don't know. It's best to hide her secrets at this time. Unless I wait until noon tomorrow, I don't know what she wants to do."
"Hehe, she is Tachibana-san after all."
Shiraishi Lihua smiled softly.
"Then in this case Lihua remembers not to make a lunch at noon tomorrow."
"Yeah. I'm going to study how to make the buns that Sister Tachibana mentioned. I can also give Xia Zhijun a surprise tomorrow."
"Uh...that." Xia Zhi thought about what he should say: "Go hard."
If it were anyone else, Xia Zhi would have told him not to do useless work without even thinking about it. However, this was Shiraishi Reika. On the one hand, she believed in Shiraishi Reika's cooking skills, and on the other hand, she also felt that Shiraishi Reika had strong cooking skills that could support her.
She finished the panting dish, so Xia Zhi did not choose to stop her.
"I will. Xia Zhijun, please make sure to go to bed early. See you at school tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow."
Natsuki waited until Rika Shiraishi hung up the phone before she put away her phone.
With Rika Shiraishi, we can discuss a little bit about what delicious food we can eat for lunch and dinner tomorrow on the way back. Natsuki even wondered if this was Tachibana Aya's true purpose.
Sitting down next to Xia Meng, Xia Zhi returned to a somewhat bored state, but Xia Meng didn't seem to want to make Xia Zhi too bored, so she leaned over to Xia Zhi with her back to him: "My shoulders are sore."
"It's not okay to say that your shoulders are sore at such a young age." As he said that, Xia Zhi put his hand on Xia Meng's shoulder and gently rubbed it.
Probably because it felt good, Xia Zhi found that Xia Meng actually fell asleep as he pressed it, so he gently hugged Xia Meng and walked toward the bedroom with a slightly funny touch. It was already time to go to bed. Xia Zhi put Xia Meng in his arms.
Meng put it on the bed, covered it with a quilt, got his clothes, and then went to the living room to change clothes. When he returned to the bedroom and prepared to sleep, his hand was on the light switch, only to find that his quilt
and blankets disappeared.
Xia Zhi thought about it for a moment with a confused look on his face. He remembered that when he was packing things just now, Xia Meng had put away his blankets and quilts. The reason was very simple: "It's not needed anyway, so let's put them away first."
Xia Zhi seemed to be counting other things in the living room at that time. Xia Zhi was not sure when the quilt was put away, but it must have been put away.
Scratching his head, he had no choice but to turn off the lights and get into bed in the dark. Xia Meng still left enough space for himself, although Xia Zhi felt that when he put down Xia Meng, he should have been closer to the middle.
right.
Xia Zhi lay down, pulled up the quilt, and closed his eyes. It wasn't the first time anyway, so Xia Zhi's psychological pressure was not as great as he thought.
But he didn't see Xia Meng, who was lying next to him and should have been asleep, curling up the corners of his mouth.
When Xia Zhi woke up and faced the morning of a new day, his long-standing habit did not make him stay in bed and refused to get up. Instead, he gently moved his position for Xia Meng and then quietly left the bedroom.
go out.
Today is no different from the past. I still wake up, wash up, and then make breakfast for Xia Meng. Then after breakfast, Xia Meng kicks me out of the house. When I come to the school gate, I see the same persistence day after day.
Wuga Yuan, who was busy with his work, came to the classroom and was followed by Shiraishi Rika and Yamamoto Ryoko, but nothing changed.
However, today is a very important day for Xia Zhi. Today, the transcripts will be issued.
Xia Zhi sat in his seat and watched Teacher Sakuraba hand out the transcripts. When Xia Zhi arrived, someone swallowed nervously and looked at the numbers on the transcript. Except for English, they were all
Ninety percent upwards.
Japan is different from China. Even in high school, the full score is still 100. Xia Zhi's score is already very good. As for English... that is a force majeure factor. At least Xia Zhi feels that he has worked hard.
"The exam was very good." Teacher Sakuraba praised Xia Zhi in particular, with a very obvious smile on his face: "Now I can happily go around and play during the holidays."
Xia Zhi scratched his head habitually: "You can indeed rest for a while."
"Although it is a good thing to get good grades, you should not be too proud."
After Teacher Sakuraba finished speaking, she walked towards the next student.
In this exam, it seemed that no one was called to stay for tutoring. Xia Zhi saw the smiling gaze of Shiraishi Rika on the other side, and Yamamoto Ryoko's expression of relief.
