A pleasant cell phone sound suddenly rang. Xia Tian, who was lying on the sofa with his eyes closed and concentrating, picked up his cell phone and looked at the familiar caller ID on it. A wry smile appeared on his lips.
"I knew it~"
Perhaps it was Xia Tian's hesitation that annoyed the owner of the phone. The ringtone seemed to be getting louder and louder, but Xia Tian had no choice but to answer the call.
"Ah, summer~"
As soon as the phone was connected, a sharp and harsh sound came out instantly. Fortunately, Xia Tian was prepared and kept the phone far away from his ears early, thus avoiding damage to his fragile eardrums.
"Xia Tian, you lied to me again~"
The voice was full of resentment and dissatisfaction, and Xia Tian could only say helplessly:
"Yu Ji, don't talk nonsense. When did I lie to you?"
"You obviously went to Tokyo to participate in the "Pastry King" competition, and you said you were going there to have fun, and you said you didn't lie to me?"
Yoshino Yuki on the other side of the phone had an indignant look on her face, but Xia Tian directly defended:
"You can't blame me for this. I remember that my original words were that I would go to Tokyo to do some things, but not for fun. I also showed you the brochure of the food city, but you were directly attracted by the various things above.
I was so fascinated by the delicious food and the attractions that I completely ignored the "Pastry King" competition, so..."
Xia Tian's irrelevant tone immediately put Yoshino Yuki off guard. She was so filled with complaints that she couldn't even utter a single word of complaint. She could only keep shouting "You, you, you~".
On the side of Jokusei Residence, Ryoko Sakaki looked at Yoshino Yuki's pretty face turned red, and she was so excited that she didn't know what to say. She could only sigh helplessly, there was no way, the level difference was too big, Yoshino Yuki
Ji was eaten to death by Xia Tian.
In the end, Ryoko Sakaki took the phone from Yuki Yoshino, who could not speak a word. The latter could only look at Ryoko Sakaki pitifully and pointed at her eldest sister to help her vent her anger.
"Xia Tianjun, how are you in Tokyo? Congratulations on successfully qualifying for the preliminaries. But can you tell us about this kind of thing in the future? We can also go to the scene to help you cheer!"
Sure enough, the eldest sister of Jixingliao was different in her first words, and her soft words made Xia Tian feel embarrassed.
"hey-hey!"
Xia Tian laughed twice and said with some guilt:
"Thank you, Liangzi, for making you worry. This happened suddenly. It happened suddenly..."
Just like this, in Sakaki Ryoko's soft yet prickly words, Xia Tian began to deal with it carefully. However, this was not the case in Yoshino Yuki's eyes. Looking at Sakaki Ryoko who sometimes covered her mouth and chuckled, and sometimes was charming and charming, and chatted happily with Xia Tian,
Yoshino Yuki's little mouth pouts.
…
"Okay, that's it, goodbye, Xia Tianjun!"
Seeing Ryoko Sakaki about to hang up the phone, Yoshino Yuki suddenly became anxious and quickly grabbed the phone, but it was too late, Xia Tian had already hung up.
"Liangzi, how could you do this? I still have a lot of things I haven't said to Xia Tian?"
Looking at Yuki Yoshino, who was shaking her head vigorously and having a childish temper, Ryoko Sakaki couldn't help but smile and comforted softly:
"Okay, Yuji, don't be angry, Xia Tianjun has a game coming up, we can't waste too much of his time."
"But~"
Yoshino Yuki's voice suddenly dropped, and Sakaki Ryoko looked at the aggrieved and pitiful Kuga Teruki, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and whispered into Yoshino Yuki's ear.
I saw Yoshino Yuki's dim eyes getting brighter and brighter, and finally she moved from the chair to touch her excitedly.
"Great, I'll tell everyone right now."
After saying that, he jumped up and ran out, while Sakaki Ryoko looked at Yoshino Yuki's happy look and couldn't help but smile.
————————————————————————————————————————
On the other side, after Xia Tian hung up the phone, she couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. After all, not everyone can be so calm when facing Ryoko Sakaki, who is like the elder sister of Jiexingliao.
"I really don't know if what I just said is right or wrong, but the only thing I'm sure of is that my wallet will definitely bleed again."
When he remembered that he just said it casually, Ryoko Sakaki agreed directly, whether intentionally or unintentionally, leaving Xia Tian unable to say anything. He could only start to count the number, but unfortunately, when
After Xia Tian estimated the cost this time, he suddenly felt a twinge of pain.
"I wonder if I can ask the old man to reimburse me for this."
Although he knew that the hope was slim, Xia Tian still planned to give it a try. After all, every penny he could save was worth it. Xia Xia, who started from scratch, knew how hard it was to make money.
well!
And just when Xia Tian was muttering about how he was going to trick Nakiri Senzaemon, his cell phone suddenly rang again, startling Xia Tian who was thinking about something wrong.
When he picked up the phone and took a look, Xia Tian's face looked a little weird. He really said, "Say Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will be here." Looking at the "old man" written on the phone, Xia Tian suddenly felt guilty.
"Well, ahem, hello, Commander-in-Chief! What's the matter?"
Xia Tian coughed twice, trying to keep his voice calm.
"It's nothing, little brother Xia Tian, congratulations to you, you're on your way to victory!"
Nakiri Senzaemon didn't feel anything strange, but Xia Tian was a little embarrassed by Nakiri Senzaemon's enthusiasm. After all, just now he was still plotting against the old man, but now others took the initiative to come over and congratulate him.
I'm a little embarrassed anyway.
"That was a lucky break..."
Xia Tian said modestly, but this made Nakiri Senzaemon on the opposite side frown, because in his impression, Xia Tian was not a master who knew how to be humble. According to Xia Tian's original character, he must have snorted coldly.
, said disdainfully:
"Isn't that natural?"
However, Nakiri Senzaemon didn't have time to care about this. This time he was going to tell Xia Tian about the upcoming tournament schedule. After listening to Nakiri Senzaemon's words, Xia Tian pondered for a while and said:
"That being said, the next step is to directly enter the battle between Shoji."
"That's right, the real competition is coming next. The total of forty people who qualified in the preliminaries will be disrupted and divided into four groups for a ten-person battle. There will only be one winner in each group."
"So easy!
Xia Tian was a little surprised. He didn't expect the old guy to be so courageous. He originally thought that this competition would be a slow-burning one, but he didn't expect that it would go directly to a hot battle. Xia Tian suddenly thought about it and seemed to understand something.
Nakiri Senzaemon did this so that all the contestants would no longer retain their strength, because there is only one spot in the ten-person group, and the competition is absolutely fierce. In this case, whoever retains his hand may capsize in the gutter and sink directly.
.
Forcing the contestants to participate in the battle with all their strength is not good for the contestants, but it does no harm to the organizers of the competition. The most direct thing is that the battle between dragons and tigers on the field will greatly attract the attention of the people and the popularity of the competition.
Thinking of this, Xia Tian couldn't help but sigh:
