After Shiraishi Rika finished the phone call, she and Natsuki found a place to eat nearby. Although it was not a particularly famous restaurant, Shiraishi Rika was not the kind of person who was particularly picky.
Can get her praise... or comfort, but most of the time, although she chooses to be silent, she will not make any comments about it. Instead, she silently studies the cooking method of this kind of food next to her, and then thinks about it in her brain.
I thought about ways to improve.
As for Xia Zhi, he is not a child of a rich family, so he is naturally not picky about eating... Well, after eating from Shiraishi Lihua for more than a year, even if Xia Zhi's appetite has not become particularly picky, it cannot be said that he has.
It was especially easy to be satisfied. Xia Zhi always felt that something was missing when eating, and the food on the table suddenly didn't taste good.
"What's wrong with Xia Zhijun? Don't you have an appetite?" After analyzing these simple dishes, Shiraishi Lihua noticed Xia Zhi's strange expression.
"No, I'm just thinking about somewhere else I can go to play later. After all, this is my first date...at least it's a serious date." Xia Zhi shook his head.
Although I really wanted to praise Shiraishi Rika as a direct disciple of a five-star chef, but it was too rude to say this in the presence of relevant people, and Xia Zhi did not say it in the end. It’s just that Shiraishi Rika’s powerful cooking skills
It becomes particularly obvious in the unintentional contrast, and there is nothing that can be done about it.
"The first date..." Shiraishi Lihua's eyes suddenly became sharp, staring at Xia Zhi closely: "Since this is the first time for such a serious date, then what is Xia Zhijun's first date?
Who were you with?"
Xia Zhi reacted and cursed himself in his heart. After thinking about it carefully, he found that there seemed to be a turning point in the matter: "Because when I played before, I didn't realize that it was a date. If I don't press the button,
So to put it in formal terms, the first time should be with you Lihua."
"Eh?"
"It's just that Liangzi is here." Xia Zhi shrugged: "Lihua, do you still remember the time when Liangzi bought a ticket and then asked me to go to the concert with you?"
"Of course I remember it, it's a very precious memory." After Shiraishi Lihua finished speaking, she lightly glared at Xia Zhi: "Although what Xia Zhijun said at that time made me a little sad."
"Ah ha ha ha ha... That was the first time I was invited by a girl to hang out with me. Considering Ryoko's thoughts at the time, it can be considered a date to some extent, right?" Xia Zhi scratched his head. As for himself at the time
Xia Zhi didn't remember clearly what he said. At times like this, all he had to do was smile.
"Well..." Shiraishi Rika also became a little shy and blinked: "To me, Xia Zhijun was very handsome that night."
"Thank you for the compliment." Xia Zhi continued to eat.
"However, if you go with Ryoko, it shouldn't be considered a date, right?" Shiraishi Rika added, which made Xia Zhi just feel relieved and almost spit out the imported rice.
Looking at Shiraishi Rika's expression that seemed to want to get to the bottom of it, Xia Zhi was also a little helpless: "Honestly, I think you can guess it, Rika. After all, Cai was quite courageous when we first met, and sometimes even on weekends
She would drag me out to play, even though it was just to let her lead the way when I went shopping, but if Ryoko didn’t hinder me, Cai would have been earlier.”
Shiraishi Rika curled her lips: "I knew it. After all, when I first met Tachibana-san, it seemed that your relationship was very good. At that time, I almost gave up because of a misunderstanding. But... it was really because I didn't have enough courage.
, with Tachibana-san’s ability to act, this is a matter of course. After all, this is the first time I have fallen in love with someone..."
Shiraishi Rika's voice became softer and softer, but Xia Zhi still heard her.
Although she felt a little sorry, Xia Zhi was not prepared to comfort her with words like "That was not a formal date." Even if it was just a formality, what she had done would not disappear because of it. This was something she knew well.
Both of them are just useless lies. Shiraishi Rika may have already expected this situation, and she is also a strong girl. Although such a thing will make her feel regretful, except for
There should be no other effects other than that.
"But, even if Tachibana-san comes first, I will definitely like Natsuki-kun more than Tachibana-san." Shiraishi Rika had an expression of reluctance to admit defeat, and smiled at Natsuki: "If you compare with this, I will definitely
You won’t lose.”
"...Thank you, Lihua." Xia Zhi thanked her sincerely.
The feeling of being loved from the bottom of your heart cannot be expressed in words. It is a feeling that makes people feel extremely warm and full of power. Xia Zhi feels that he will never forget it.
"This is not the answer I want to hear." Shiraishi Lihua shook her head playfully, and the originally smiling expression on her face looked a little more shy and urging.
"Of course, I also like Lihua very much." Xia Zhi also answered Shiraishi Lihua's feelings seriously.
It's just that the effect of these words seems to be much better than Xia Zhi imagined. I thought it was only slightly effective, but I didn't expect it to be outstanding. Shiraishi Lihua's face suddenly turned crimson, she was so cute, Xia Zhi didn't know it
I was stunned for a while.
This seemed to make Shiraishi Rika feel both shy and happy. She bit her lip, not wanting to show such a shy expression.
Seeing Shiraishi Rika's stubborn expression, Xia Zhi couldn't help but smile. But the shy Shiraishi Rika thought this bad guy was laughing at her, so she puffed up her mouth and stopped: "Don't laugh."
"I think it's quite cute. You don't need to be so shy. Just be more confident in yourself." Xia Zhi couldn't suppress his smile at all, which even made Xia Zhi wonder if he was a little wretched now.
"Hmph... If that's the case, what about Tachibana-san? Does Natsuki-kun like Tachibana-san too?"
…
Xia Zhi really didn't expect that Shiraishi Rika would bring the topic back, and the smile on her face suddenly turned into a bitter smile. She scratched her head and remained silent without speaking.
Shiraishi Rika finally found a chance to resist. She crossed her hands, her face was crimson but with a mischievous smile, she was very happy to see Natsuki's embarrassed expression.
"Answer me quickly."
"this……"
"It won't work if I don't show my courage that night."
Xia Zhi knew that Shiraishi Lihua was making things difficult for him because of shyness, but, as she said, Xia Zhi needed to bear what he said, so he was not prepared to lie.
"I like it just as much."
Xia Zhi said this with a little pressure, a slightly complicated mood and a faint smile.
