Chiba Salted Fish Legend

Chapter 234

Saying goodbye to Shiraishi Rika, Xia Zhi relied on his memory to arrive at the bus station, but he soon regretted it because he had no idea or idea of ​​which bus he should take to return to his apartment.I turned to the universal electronic map and spent more than two hours walking all the way from the library to the apartment. Although I gained a deeper impression of Chiba along the way, the price I paid was that I almost lost my way. own legs.

"So why didn't I think of taking a taxi back?" Although he was complaining, Xia Zhi felt that he probably would not choose to take a taxi... How could someone who can care about a few hundred yen choose to take a taxi? What about such a high-end means of transportation as a taxi?

I checked my phone a little bit, and as expected, I found Tachibana's message on it.Although the language is very fragmented and I like to develop it separately, the meaning is generally clear. To sum it up:
"Where are you?"

"The food cooked by the store manager is not to my liking."

"Remember to leave me a message when you arrive."

This gave Xia Zhi the illusion that he had a daughter.This illusion was so outrageous that Xia Zhi shook his head to get it out of his mind.

He casually sent a message to Tachibana Aya to tell her that he was back, and then prepared to make dinner for himself, which was about an hour late.To be honest, I usually eat on time, but today I was an hour late because I was walking back to the apartment. The late dinner and the large amount of energy consumed made Xia Zhi feel that she was a little hungry now.

After spending a few minutes taking a shower and changing clothes, Xia Zhi began to prepare his dinner.Although he didn't buy any ingredients, there was still some leftover. If it was just a dinner, it would be enough for Xia Zhi to eat alone.I just might have to go to a convenience store to buy a ready-made bento tomorrow. I hope I won’t be kicked to the ground by a stranger because I got a half-priced bento.

Here, Xia Zhi was still washing rice when there was a knock on the door of the apartment.Still wondering who would come to his apartment late at night, Xia Zhi couldn't help but have an ominous premonition in his heart. He had already vaguely guessed who it was.Xia Zhi placed the cauldron filled with rice on the kitchen counter, shook the water from his hands, and walked to the entrance to open the door.

The moment the door was opened, Tachibana Aya's figure appeared in front of Xia Zhi.Tonight she changed back into her cross-dressing suit and put on that suspicious black coat.Is this a mix and match style today?

"Why are you here?" Xia Zhi asked.

"Of course I am, come and play." Tachibana Aya said confidently.

"You came over so late at night to play. I shouldn't have sent you that message."

"It's so heartless. It's rare that I still miss you and bring you delicious food." As she said that, Tachibana Aya took out the plastic bag containing a lot of things hidden behind her back.Although there are a lot of things, Xia Zhi is sure that there are absolutely no ingredients that can be used for dinner, not even rice balls.

"I'm sorry to trouble you." Xia Zhi said without emotion, and then moved away: "Anyway, come in first."

"Then bother you~"

Natsuki turned around and walked towards the kitchen counter. Aya Tachibana took off her shoes and stepped on the entrance. She held a white plastic bag in her hand and headed straight to the living room.Obviously, her target was the kotatsu placed in the living room.Putting the snacks on the table, Tachibana Aya sat in the kotatsu, leaving the suspicious black coat on the sofa behind her.

Natsuki put the washed rice into the rice cooker, pressed the switch, took a moment to glance at Tachibana Aya, and found that there were various snacks taken out of plastic bags in front of her, as well as a A bottle of unknown tea drink, his mobile phone in his hand, he seemed to be wearing wireless headphones, and he was lying on the table having a good time.

So it’s just a different place to play with your phone. Why can’t you play in your own home with the air conditioner blowing on?Natsuki couldn't guess Tachibana Aya's thoughts.But now there is no time to worry about these small things. Eating is one of the most important things in human existence. Xia Zhi has taken care of the meal, but the dishes have not been touched yet.

Then the sound of Xia Zhi cooking could be heard in the kitchen again.After hearing these voices, Tachibana Aya looked at Natsuki who was busy in the kitchen. She propped up her body and looked curiously at the inside of the kitchen counter.

"Are you making something delicious for me?"

"Have you eaten yet?" Xia Zhi asked back and continued to do his own thing with his head down.

"You didn't do it for me, so what are you doing?"

"Nonsense, you've had dinner and I haven't eaten yet."

Tachibana became more curious.

"What are you doing today? Why haven't you eaten yet?"

"I didn't do much. I accompanied Xue to the library and then came back. It just took a little longer when I came back." There was nothing special to explain.

"Classmate, Xiao Lihua?"

Xia Zhi hummed and was silent for a while for some reason. Xia Zhi raised his head in confusion and glanced at Tachibana Aya, who was holding his chin and thinking about something.

"Why didn't you talk all of a sudden?"

"No, I just think your relationship is really good or something. Are you ready to become lovers?"

"Why are you still talking about this after so long?" Xia Zhidu felt helpless: "I have said many times that I don't want to fall in love."

"That's what I say, but it's possible to do as the Romans do without realizing it, right? After all, Lihua is also an excellent and cute child." Tachibana Aya rubbed her chin in thought.

Xia Zhi chuckled softly: "I thought you would use yourself as an example, saying that you are a beautiful girl with excellent abilities or something. But this is different. Even with someone as outstanding as you, it is already very easy to be friends. Not bad. As for falling in love or anything like that, don’t even think about it.”

"Did you praise me just now?" Tachibana asked with an exaggerated expression.

"Just treat it like this." Xia Zhi dealt with it casually.Let yourself focus on what you are doing. Even if it is just simple cooking, you cannot take it lightly during the cooking process. This is not only related to the completion of the cooking, but also related to a person's life safety.

"Then when are you going to find a girlfriend? This is not a bad thing in Japan."

"Let's talk later..."

Looking for a girlfriend?nonexistent.The perfect path in life is to be alone, and then wait for your seven aunts and eight aunts to arrange blind dates for you until you find a suitable partner, get married, have children, and grow old.In this way, you don’t have to worry about the early financial pressure of falling in love, and you don’t have to worry about being occupied by similar things when you should study and accomplishing nothing in both study and love.

do not be afraid!The seventh aunt and the eighth aunt will be your strongest backing!
"Oh. Then tell me when you want to fall in love, and I can recommend you the best girl in the world." Tachibana Aya said with a wink.

"Then I really thank you."

Xia Zhi responded, but didn't take it to heart.Tachibana Aya's words probably went in from the left ear and out the right ear. After all, Natsuki himself was not interested in such topics, and he was focused on cooking, so he didn't pay attention to her.Tachibana lay on the table again and played with her mobile phone, a little more absent-minded than before.

"Oh, by the way, Xia Zhi, I'm hungry."

"Didn't you buy snacks?"

“You can’t fill your stomach with snacks.”

"How long has it been and you're hungry? But I won't let you eat, so just give up."

"Why!" Tachibana Aya protested loudly.

"There's no reason. I can't eat so much for dinner. Give me some snacks too."

Originally, you should not eat too much for dinner, because there is not much activity at night, and the energy consumption is relatively small. Eating too much is not easy to digest, and it is easy to gain weight. This is not a healthy eating habit.As a representative of high calorie and low nutritional value, it is better to eat less snacks or eat less. You can eat some fruits to supplement nutrition without causing indigestion.

"But I'm hungry..." Tachibana said listlessly: "The curry made by the manager tastes like a ready-made bento."

Xia Zhi was shocked instead.

"No, right? Isn't the food cooked by the store manager delicious? And the ready-made lunches sold in the convenience store are also very good... Why do you have such a picky taste?"

"It's just a feeling that can't be explained clearly in words." Tachibana Aya stretched out her hands and gestured, trying to describe an indescribable object: "What you make is better."

Got complimented out of nowhere?Natsuki was thinking about the possibility of making something for Tachibana Aya to eat.But there weren't much ingredients, and even for dinner, which didn't require much food, Xia Zhi's portion for one person was a little bit not enough.so what should I do now?
I glanced at all the objects on the kitchen counter, and it's okay to eat a little bit. The only thing Tachibana doesn't dislike is probably fried eggs.After all, there is the last one left. Although Xia Zhi doesn't know how to save this egg, it is still suitable for Li Huacai.

Tomorrow, I probably have to go to the convenience store to buy breakfast and lunch.

"There's only one fried egg, do you want it?"

Xia Zhi asked.

"want!"

Tachibana Aya raised her head and shouted, and Xia Zhi felt that he could even hear the joy in her voice.

"Then wait. Also, don't eat snacks."

"Hi~"

Natsuki watched Tachibana Aya obediently put away all the snacks, even pushing the opened potato chips to the side of the plastic bag, and then happily lay on the kotatsu and played with her mobile phone.

I really can't do anything about her...

Xia Zhi sighed.He was probably getting further and further into the setting of Tachibana Aya's guardian. The only thing that made Xia Zhi feel gratified was that he seemed to have mastered the method to calm Tachibana Aya, which in some way Degree is indeed a very handy skill.

Sure enough, today is a peaceful day.
