"Are you really not going back?" Tachibana Aya still couldn't forget her fireworks: "If they are thrown away, you have to compensate me for new ones."
"Not to mention that the fireworks were bought with my money, Mengmeng and Liangzi's eyes wouldn't throw the unopened fireworks into the trash can, right?" Xia Zhi spread his hands helplessly: "
You are obviously very smart, why can't you turn around at a time like this?"
"It's all your fault." Tachibana Aya pursed her lips, and Xia Zhi had a question mark on her head.
"Why is it my fault again?"
"Because if you're here, I don't have to use my brain." She said confidently with her hands on her waist.
"The brain is a good thing. It needs to be used all the time. Do you hear me?"
Although Tachibana Aya's words seemed quite sultry, Natsuki still hoped that her IQ would be on the higher end. If she could make people worry-free like Shiraishi Rika, then everything would really be fine.
"I don't want it!" Tachibana Aya didn't feel that this was something that should be ashamed at all, but retorted loudly: "I am the type who will never move when I can't use my brain. If you don't have fun in life, then
What else does it mean!?"
This child is hopeless. Even making soup won't fix his brain.
"Lihua, please talk about her too." Xia Zhi turned to look at Shiraishi Lihua, only to find that she was standing next to her, looking at him without blinking. She could see it even without being too obvious on her face.
With a dazed expression: "Lihua?"
"Eh?" She seemed to have finally come to her senses.
"Is there something on my face?" Xia Zhi wiped the corners of his mouth with his hand, but did not find anything on the corners of his mouth.
"No, no." Shiraishi Lihua shook her head shyly and looked at the ground: "Ah, there are shells!"
Then she bent down to pick up the shells. Tachibana Aya, who was still wearing her waist next to her, also lowered her head and looked at her feet. She said "Where is it?" and picked up the shells with Shiraishi Rika. Natsuki
I always felt that the two of them had different purposes for picking up shells. Aya Tachibana picked up shells for the sake of picking up shells, but Reika Shiraishi...she was probably just shy.
Tachibana Aya just bent down to pick up two shells, and suddenly stood up again: "Just picking up shells doesn't seem to be interesting. Xiao Lihua, let's compete!"
"Contest?"
"Competition! Let's see who can pick up the most and the most beautiful shells in one hour... forget it, that's too long. Let's see who can pick up the most and the most beautiful shells in ten minutes!" Tachibana Aya raised a finger:
"Of course, since it's a competition, there needs to be prizes."
"Prize? Is there anything else Tachibana-san wants to eat?" Shiraishi Rika was a little confused. Tachibana Aya smiled maliciously, and then whispered something into Shiraishi Rika's ear. Natsuki was a little curious,
But still standing there, he could only hear Tachibana Aya whispering, but if he wanted to hear what they were talking about, Xia Zhi's hearing was still not enough.
"I won't lose!" When Xia Zhi heard Shiraishi Rika's voice, it was as if she was on fire. It was completely different from her usual image. And all of this should be attributed to Tachibana Aya.
"That's the momentum! I have to get serious too." Tachibana Aya rolled up her sleeves, and then...rolled them back up again. Although it's not winter anymore, it's still a bit cold if you roll up your sleeves at night.
"Xia Zhi will be the judge later. Xiao Lihua doesn't have any objections, right?"
"Yeah." Shiraishi Lihua nodded.
"Why did you let me come?" Xia Zhi was a little confused.
"After all, Xiao Lihua and I are going to compete. In this case, we can only leave it to you to be the referee. Moreover, this is more fair. It is best for you to be the referee." Tachibana Aya blinked: "Just press what you like.
Just let the referee decide what you like, and you won’t suffer any loss anyway.”
"What a disturbing statement."
"Here you go." Tachibana Aya handed her phone to Xia Zhi. There was already a stopwatch interface on it: "Ten minutes, just press it when you say start."
After handing the phone to Xia Zhi, Tachibana Aya looked at Shiraishi Lihua: "Well, Lihua, you go to the right, and I'll go to the left."
Shiraishi Rika nodded and got ready to run. When Natsuki was about to say that it was rare to see Shiraishi Rika being so serious, it turned out that Tachibana Aya next to her had even put her hands on the ground, as if she was ready to shoot and would be ejected.
This victory or defeat may be more important than imagined.
"Then, get ready...start." The moment Natsuki pressed the button, the two girls ran out. Shiraishi Rika's speed was not much worse than Tachibana Aya, and she didn't know it was Tachibana.
Ai didn't try her best, and Shiraishi Rika kept it secret, but their game began.
Xia Zhi stood there, watching each of them pick up shells at a speed that seemed to be out of the range of humans. There were not many shells visible on the beach of Moriya Beach, and he didn't know if they had been cleaned or if they were just like this.
It was still night, so it was actually quite difficult to find shells. Xia Zhi couldn't tell which of the two was faster, so he looked at the time and the few stars in the sky.
Occasionally, Tachibana Aya and Shiraishi Rika would run to the side to put down the shells that they could no longer hold. Shiraishi Rika was the honest type, but Tachibana Aya was obviously not very honest. She ran over to put down the shells and found that Natsuki was sitting there.
She looked up at the sky, pretended to run away, then quietly passed behind Xia Zhi on her feet, and came to the shell that Shiraishi Lihua had put down. Just as she was about to stretch out her hand, she was hit on the forehead.
"oops!"
"No cheating." Xia Zhi held her hand and looked at her.
"I didn't cheat, I just... I just think Xiaolihua's shells are beautiful and I want to observe them. How could I cheat? You have to believe me!" She bulged her mouth and ran away. Xia Zhi shook his head.
.
After a while, exactly ten minutes, Xia Zhi stopped the time and shouted to the girls on both sides who were still picking up shells: "It's time."
Natsuki originally thought Tachibana Aya would secretly pick up a few more on the way over, so he watched her run over, but she was quite honest this time and didn't make any small moves.
After the two girls put down the shells in their hands, Xia Zhi looked at the shells piled up like hills on both sides and twitched the corner of his eye.
It's probably troublesome to count, but Xia Zhi doesn't really want to count...
