Chiba Salted Fish Legend

Chapter 181

"I don't know why, but I always feel like I'm almost familiar with this road at this time of night. Is it an illusion?"

Tachibana Aya muttered.Although the sound was not loud, there was no one around quietly. Xia Zhi heard it very clearly and rolled his eyes.

Isn't this just something she brought upon herself?I have to play until this time before going back.

Xia Zhi walked silently without saying a word, resisting the urge to tremble.After all, it was autumn, it was late at night, and Xia Zhi didn't wear much, so this reaction was quite normal.Although to some extent this can be regarded as self-inflicted fault.

In other words, this is just the result of two crazy people seeking death.

Not long after walking, he came to a 24-hour convenience store. Feeling the presence of lights, Xia Zhi subconsciously looked at Tachibana Aya's face. Sure enough, the woman was already staring at the convenience store while walking.After thinking about it, Xia Zhi took the initiative and asked, "Going to buy something?"

"Huh?" Tachibana Aya heard this and looked at Xia Zhi in surprise: "Are you hungry?"

"I'm not hungry. But are you thinking about eating?"

"Hey, is it so obvious?" Tachibana Aya blinked: "Okay, I am indeed a little hungry. Although I ate a lot of dumplings for dinner, I was surprisingly not hungry. I played for so long. Flying chess cost a lot of pus cells."

"Playing Ludo consumes brain cells. Are you a primitive man?"

Xia Zhi said this, then came back to his senses and thought about it carefully. It seemed that it really took some thinking.After all, it is different from previous flying chess. This is the dark game's intrigue flying chess. Although there are not many patterns in the prop cards, there are a lot of them. How to arrange the cards and defend them to give the opponent a fatal blow is still a bit particular.For example, keep a card in your hand that throws one more time, and throw it out when the opponent's card is two spaces away, just in case, so that he can be killed.

"Don't you also have cards in your hand to mess with me?" Tachibana Aya was a little unconvinced.

"You have to use your brain to even collect tiles. It seems that your wealth as a whole human being is really not worthy of its name." Xia Zhi said firmly.

Tachibana Aya pursed her lips.Only at this time did she act like a little girl who leads the family, not a top student who is one year older than Xia Zhi, nor a super popular light novel writer.This feeling is very strange, but the masks required for different occasions are indeed different, and Xia Zhi is not a special exception.

"Hmph~ I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going to buy some snacks."

Aya Tachibana ran toward the convenience store, and Natsuki walked over slowly.It's not that I want to buy something, but there is a bench in front of the convenience store where I can take a rest. After all, girls can buy things no matter how long it takes.

The focus of girls' shopping is not what they want to buy, but the process of shopping that they enjoy.They can shop all over the mall for a nice-looking and cheap piece of clothing, and they can also clear out an entire convenience store for a temporary craving.The required goals are different. Some people enjoy the results, while others enjoy the process. There is no distinction between the results first and the process first views, because in terms of causality, both parties are just the result of mutual service. .

However, it’s really cold outside the convenience store...

The wind blows from time to time, and Xia Zhi, who is wearing thin clothes, really has no way to keep his own temperature. He can only watch them being taken away by the wind, and then in the process of rubbing his hands, it generates some heat that is better than nothing. Come out and continue to be carried away by the wind.

Surprisingly, just 2 minutes after Xia Zhi sat down, Tachibana Aya ran out.Both hands were holding cups of noodles, both of which had been opened and filled with hot water.Xia Zhi's first reaction was that she seemed a little hungry, so she bought two cups of noodles.Until Tachibana Aya handed the cup noodles in her right hand to Natsuki.

"Here. Although you often bully me, I still bought it for you. Thank me."

Xia Zhi was stunned: "I'm not hungry."

"It's cold enough even if you're not hungry. I don't feel warm enough even though I'm wearing a coat, and you're only wearing a singlet. Aren't you afraid of catching a cold?" Tachibana Aya said angrily: "You're inviting me to dinner. return gift."

Xia Zhi felt a little warm in his heart, but he couldn't thank Li Huacai, so he thought for a while: "Then you really earned it."

A cup of Cup Noodles for a meal of dumplings can’t be said to be on the small side, it’s really a huge profit.In an economic sense.

Cup noodles are actually instant noodles.However, the amount of cup noodles is only a little more than half that of ordinary domestic barrel noodles, and in terms of prices in Japan, this is undoubtedly a bit of a loss.

"I..." Tachibana Aya raised the cup noodles in her hand. Xia Zhi could tell that she probably wanted to smash the cup noodles into his face.This is just like Natsuki always wanted to beat Tachibana Ayapi when she couldn't do it.Fortunately, like Xia Zhi, she could resist such impulse.Otherwise, if you hit your face with a cup of noodles, you might get burned and disfigured.Although he is not handsome, he still avoids disfigurement.Your body, hair, and skin come from your parents...

Xia Zhi thought about it and felt that this did not seem very authentic.Looking at Tachibana Aya venting her anger on cup noodles with a plastic fork, Natsuki suppressed the shame and said "thank you".And Tachibana Aya, who was saying "bastard" while forking noodles, obviously mistook Cup Noodles for someone, was stunned when she heard Natsuki's thank you, and it took a while for her to come back to her senses and speak. He didn't say thank you very clearly, it was just a return gift.Tachibana Aya, who felt a little shy about her performance, finished her words without saying a word and ate her cup noodles.

Natsuki shrugged. Tachibana Aya, who originally complained that he was treating her like a donkey because of his kindness, became shy after hearing Natsuki's thanks. This was a development that he did not expect.Maybe she's not very good at accepting such formal thanks.When people face emergencies, they are somewhat unprepared.Tachibana Aya probably hasn't taken care of her mask yet.

"Humph~ The role of an innocent girl I play is okay. She becomes shy when being thanked by others. This is a classic plot in light novels and romantic comedies."

"It's not bad." Anyway, she doesn't need to boast, she can go to heaven by herself.Tachibana Aya's mood adjusted quickly, and Natsuki could tell whether her reaction just now was fake.But so-called impressions and concepts cannot be shaken so easily.Xia Zhi did not change his guess.

Even if it's just a mask, it's just an acting skill.What you need to understand is the way the other person behaves and his personality traits behind this mask. This is what others show you as the best version of themselves.There is no point in going too deep into it. In the final analysis, Tachibana Aya is just a relatively good friend, and getting to the bottom of a friend is not something worth boasting about.

The slightly disturbed "normal" atmosphere was restored by Tachibana Aya, and she and Natsuki walked towards her high-end apartment.It was only a few minutes away, not that far away. After just two steps, Xia Zhidu had already seen the apartment building where Tachibana Aya lived.Or the lights on the roof.

This high-end apartment is almost like a lighthouse, with a bright but not dazzling light at the top, like a landmark.Looking back at Li Huacai, she was hanging three or five steps behind Xia Zhi at a relatively slow speed, as if she was concentrating on the cup noodles in her hand and deliberately slowed down.

Although there is really not much cup noodles left with only soup after a few mouthfuls, Xia Zhi only needs the temperature it can bring, and this temperature has already been drank along with the hot soup. In the stomach.

Xia Zhigang wanted to call Tachibana Aya to go faster, but Tachibana Aya seemed to have remembered something. She suddenly raised her head and drank the rest of the cup noodles, then threw it behind her and finished it. Thrown into the trash can.Before Xia Zhi could be surprised, Tachibana Aya had already trotted forward and walked to Xia Zhi's side.

"Xia Zhi. What will you eat next Wednesday?"

"What to eat? Oh..." Xia Zhi also remembered something else: "It's Xiaoyao's birthday. I don't know yet. After all, I don't know how to make Chinese-style snacks. If I can at least make an osmanthus It would be convenient if I could make cakes. It’s a pity that I don’t know how to make them.”

Xia Zhi shook his head, suddenly feeling worried.Let's talk about noodles. Xia Zhi can also cook noodles. It is impossible to make noodles. Even if you can make noodles, do you still expect that the noodles made by you, a novice, can be cooked as well as the Japanese?The ramen shops that are everywhere in the streets of Japan have fully proved how far they have come on the road of ramen.

Many of the delicious snacks require professional chefs to make them.For example, even though Xia Zhi could make some sweet-scented osmanthus cakes with a set of tools, the taste couldn't be guaranteed, not to mention that he didn't have the funds to buy a set of pastry chef's tools.

The difference between the white case chef and the red case chef is quite big.At least Xia Zhi didn't have the ability to make so many snacks.

"Isn't this simple?" Tachibana Aya blinked: "Wouldn't it be better to make dumplings?"

"Well...but..."

Xia Zhi was a little hesitant. After all, he didn't know whether Xiaoyao liked dumplings.Although most people don't have much negative comments about dumplings, not everyone likes them.Even money is the same. Although there are sentences like "You are not money, how can everyone like it", but there are really players in this world who regard money as dirt, so money will not be liked by everyone.

The closest thing is that Xia Zhi's father actually doesn't like eating dumplings. The reason is very funny, because when he was a child, he liked to stuff copper coins into dumplings and eat them. There was a kind of surprise of winning a prize in it.Unbeknownst to my father, he swallowed the entire dumpling, got a copper coin stuck in his throat, and was sent to the hospital... You said this was the cause of the incident.

"Don't worry, Xiaoyao will like it." Tachibana Aya slurped and took a sip.

Xia Zhi rolled his eyes.
