Chiba Salted Fish Legend

Chapter 189

Today is a slightly special day.

Xia Zhi was woken up by the alarm clock more than half an hour before she usually got up. Because she was afraid of turning off the alarm clock and continuing to sleep, Xia Zhi put the alarm clock on the ground in front of the closet. As a result, Xia Zhi just heard the alarm clock. He had already woken up, felt the increasingly louder ringtone, and quickly jumped out of the bed, pressed the alarm clock, and then immediately turned back and got into the quilt.

In autumn in Japan, the morning is already very cold, not to mention the early morning when the temperature is the lowest of the day.Xia Zhi, who was nestled in the quilt, wanted to continue sleeping, but there were still important things to do today, so he wrapped himself in the quilt and swallowed the clothes he put away like a slime. The quilt slime was born. It was shaking like some intense chemical reaction. After 2 minutes, Xia Zhi finally put on his clothes slowly.

The quilt slime evolved into a slime spirit. This kind of monster that combines Chinese and Western things took a breath and stretched. Feeling a little chill, he reached out and put on the school uniform that was placed on the chair. Finally, he felt Not so cold anymore.

After walking out of the bedroom and turning on the light in the living room, Xia Zhi began to prepare today's breakfast and lunch. It was still nothing special. The breakfast of bread and milk and the lunch of green pepper, shredded pork and rice were pitifully simple but nothing to be picky about.After finishing breakfast and putting lunch in his bag, Xia Zhi found the box of dumpling wrappers in the refrigerator.

Come to think of it, I forgot to return my lunch box... I'll take it with me when I go to school today.But this is not the most important task at the moment. If it is just to return the lunch box, of course there is no need to get up half an hour early.Xia Zhi had other purposes.

Walking out of the apartment and looking at the dim street, Xia Zhi couldn't help but shudder.Whether it's a dark environment or a cold wind blowing from an unknown direction just now.

Walking on the street, Xia Zhi looked around, and sure enough there was no one, not even cats or dogs in sight.

Xia Zhi himself got up quite early, and usually arrived at school almost an hour earlier. Baishi Lihua was similar, but slightly slower than Xia Zhi.Usually, after chatting with Ryoko Shiraishi and Lihua Yamamoto for about ten minutes, other people will come to the school one after another, and everyone generally arrives at the school about half an hour before class starts. There is always an hour or four and 10 minutes.

And half an hour earlier than usual, Xia Zhi was already out at six o'clock in the morning.On weekdays, this time is also the time when thieves and robbers get off work. If you really meet someone, you have to be more careful.

But, it’s really cold...

Xia Zhi rubbed his hands and put them into the pockets of his clothes to keep warm and prevent the temperature from losing too quickly.

Along with the cold wind, Xia Zhi tightened his tight clothes and walked towards the dim street.Just like in a horror game, all you can see is about ten meters. The sound of the cold wind blowing and the slight noise coming from the dark corner made Xia Zhi feel like he was walking in a haunted house.

Even if something suddenly pops up somewhere, Xia Zhi probably wouldn't be surprised, because this is the most common plot in horror games.But that didn't stop him from being scared to death.Thinking about it, there seemed to be a time before when Tachibana suddenly jumped out of the darkness, like a traditional female ghost, scaring Xia Zhi's heart to stop for several seconds.

Fortunately, in such a cold weather, no one wanted to wander around the streets. The atmosphere along the way was quite good, but there was nothing scary about it.While looking around with some fear, Xia Zhi felt a little embarrassed. There were no monsters or monsters in this world. Although he was indeed scared to death by Tachibana Aya that day, it was because he had no idea about such things. Be prepared - no one would be like this if they were frightened by something that suddenly jumped out of a dark corner... Oh, except Brother Jue.

Fortunately, nothing happened along the way. It seemed that even the kittens and puppies that could be seen at ordinary times did not merge with the shadows in the deep darkness, and did not come out to be surprised.

Just relying on the feeling he had for a long time, Xia Zhi walked to the door of the coffee shop before he knew it.He took out the key from his pocket and opened the door, and the familiar sound of wind chimes rang.After touching around, he found the light switch, and Xia Zhi pressed it.Although the wall lamp next to the front door of the counter was turned on, the light was enough for Xia Zhi to take action.

Because there’s nothing particularly important to do, just put the dumpling wrappers in the coffee shop’s refrigerator in advance.Last night, I decided to use the leftovers to make dumplings for Xiaoyao's birthday. This morning, I came over first to put down the things I needed, and by the way, I took back the lunch box Shiraishi Lihua used to hold the dumpling wrappers and returned it to her.

Originally, Xia Zhi went directly to the cafe after school in the afternoon instead of going home. After all, he had to take a slight detour, but if he just put such a big lunch box in his bag and went to school, the capacity of the bag was actually quite tight. .

Xia Zhi thought as he put dumpling wrappers in the refrigerator that he probably hadn't calculated the distance properly on this trip.In fact, if you go to school first, then take a short detour after school in the afternoon and then go to the cafe, the distance you have to walk will actually be shorter.But you can't take someone else's lunch box and not return it. Instead of waiting until the next time the other person comes over to play, you might as well take it yourself and show sincerity.

After putting everything away and closing the refrigerator door, Xia Zhi put the lunch box back into his bag.

I patted the flour on my hands, so I was prepared in advance.The next step is to wait for the store manager to come to the store at noon and roll out all the flour he was asked to buy into dumpling wrappers.Although he acted like he was reliable, Xia Zhi didn't know whether he was reliable or not, so he just brought all the dumpling wrappers that were enough for the store manager's family.

Although they will definitely want Natsuki to eat with them, maybe Tachibana Aya and Maeda Maeda, who never finishes her meal in the coffee shop, will also stay.In that case, it's probably just enough to eat.But this cafe is not a serious cafe yet... at least there are cheeky players like Tachibana Aya who eats dinner here every day, and she only expects to have random dinners in the cafe every day.

By then, maybe even customers who just come for a cup of coffee will also ask for a bowl of dumplings.

It's Xiaoyao's birthday, do you think the store manager will give it to her...

So now I just hope that nothing happens to the dumpling wrappers made by the store manager himself.

After all, dumplings are not a particularly difficult food to make. As an expert at making many kinds of desserts, it shouldn't be a big problem. The upper limit is high and the lower limit is low.

Xia Zhi walked to the door, turned off the lights in the cafe, and then locked the door again.

Back to the silent and dark streets again...

Xia Zhi regretted a little and went out too early.Even though it was only half an hour earlier, it actually only took about ten minutes to walk from home to the coffee shop, and it was still relatively cold in the morning. Xia Zhi walked faster in order to keep herself warm. The structure is that now it takes only 10 minutes. It felt like everything was done in the coffee shop.And now it takes about 10 minutes to get to the apartment when I go back.

Do you want to go back to the apartment and have a cup of hot water or something... Xia Zhi walked towards home while thinking.

Obviously, the temptation is greater to go home and drink a cup of hot water.

A few minutes later, Natsuki passed by the high-end apartment where Tachibana Aya lived.After looking at this luxurious building, Xia Zhixin's only thought was "Ah, we can walk to the apartment in a few minutes."This is probably the so-called salty fish mentality at work. After all, it is something that has little to do with him. Even if he imagines himself living in it, it will only make Xia Zhi feel that he is still suitable to live in a public apartment.

If the rent of this high-end apartment is subtracted from the rent of the apartment where Xia Zhi lives, Xia Zhi can probably live comfortably every month with the extra money.It's a more leisurely life than the one we live now, probably the kind of life where as long as you don't spend money recklessly, you can live a decent life.

Tsk tsk, sure enough, rich people, people without much money, and people without money are people from three different worlds.

Xia Zhi didn't stop and continued walking forward.It was just getting light at this time, but you could still more or less see the general appearance of the people walking on the street.And this also gave Tachibana Aya, who had just come downstairs, assessed the conditions of the people walking on the road.

"Xia Zhi?"

Tachibana Aya stood in front of the door and squinted her eyes to take a closer look. After confirming that it was him, he quickly disappeared.As quietly as an emotionless killer.

He patted Xia Zhi on the shoulder and shouted in a loud voice: "Xia Zhi!"

"Fuck!"

Xia Zhi was startled and took two steps forward. He covered his heart with his right hand and turned his head to look. His frightened expression instantly turned into resentment.

"It's okay if you don't scare me all the time, okay? If I don't have a heart disease, I'll scare you out sooner or later."

"That doesn't matter." Tachibana Aya waved her hand nonchalantly.

"You have no problem with me..."

"Are you coming downstairs to wait for me?" Tachibana Aya asked curiously, with a faint look of expectation on her face.

"How is that possible?" Xia Zhi calmed down: "I just went to the coffee shop to put something away."

"Uh-huh..." Tachibana Aya smacked her mouth in displeasure.

It’s so simple and easy to understand, this woman.

"But I didn't expect that you usually get up so early?"

"Pretty much. I'm probably the first person to arrive at school in Yuhua Gaoli."

"Oh, we're almost there then. Forget it, stop talking, I have to go to school."

Xia Zhi waved his hand and prepared to part ways with her.

"It's a rare encounter. Do you want to go to school together?"

"Are you out of your mind? Your school and mine are in two directions."

"It seems to be like this..." Li Huacai frowned and thought: "Otherwise, I will go to your school first and then I will go back?"

"I beg you, be normal..."

Natsuki simply rejected her proposal, and Tachibana Aya talked about other things with interest.

After a slight delay, Xia Zhi's return to the apartment was completely ruined.

　The American TV series Iron Fist... is so delicious.
　　Speaking of which, Marvel seems to like the setting of rich kids...
