Chiba Salted Fish Legend

Chapter 291

Instead of accompanying Shiraishi Rika and Yamamoto Ryoko to finish the meal, Natsuki ended the lunch hastily and left early with the excuse of "I want to ask Sakuraba-sensei something."But what I had to do was different from what I said. Although I was sorry for telling a lie, there was nothing I could do about it because it was a very important matter.

During lunch break, the school is almost full of people. Everywhere there are students eating lunch alone or in groups. It is not easy to find a quieter place.Generally, the roof of a school building is not a particularly sacred place, but most of them are locked up to prevent any accidents.

But it is difficult to find a clean place.After thinking for a while, Xia Zhi decided to go to the classroom where Rishi practiced music and say hello to Rishi.It feels like we haven't seen each other for a long time.

Walking to the door of the classroom, Xia Zhi didn't hear any sound, but he knocked lightly but got no response.Didn't you come today?Xia Zhi opened the classroom door.

Then I saw the little angel who was sitting by the window and eating lunch while looking at the playground. But judging from the strings hanging down from her ears, she was probably wearing headphones.

Is that why you didn’t hear it?
Li Shi was eating lunch and didn't notice his arrival, Xia Zhi hesitated whether to go up to say hello.And Li Shi turned his head as if he had noticed something, and happened to see Xia Zhi who was about to close the door and leave.

"senior?"

"Okay noon. Are you having lunch?"

Xia Zhi felt that he couldn't leave, so he stepped into the classroom and closed the door.

"Yes. Have you finished eating, senior?"

Rise put the lunch box on her lap and reached out to take off her headphones.

"Because they were all homemade dishes. I was too lazy to cook much, so I finished them quickly."

"It turns out that senior can cook by himself." Rise blinked: "Although I can do it myself, but I get up late, so my mother usually cooks it for me. As for my sister, she doesn't even know much about salt and sugar. You can tell the difference."

I accidentally acquired some valuable information.If you sell it to those dead houses, you can probably make a lot of money.

"That's really a disaster." Xia Zhi expressed sympathy.

"Hehe. But did senior come to see me practice today? It's a pity that I seem to have caught a cold, so I can't practice. I will probably go back to the classroom after lunch."

"If you have a cold, it's better to go to the infirmary. If you are not careful, it may become a more serious illness."

"Don't worry about me. I've already been to the infirmary before and got the medicine. I heard the new infirmary teacher said that you just need to drink more hot water and everything will be fine."

What a coincidence, Xia Zhi didn't feel relieved at all when he heard the words "drink more hot water".

"Remember to take your medicine."

"...Senior is very worried, but I'm fine. By the way, senior, do you want to try it? My mother's cooking is delicious."

Xia Zhi waved his hand, he would not accept such an invitation so rudely.

"I've already eaten. Rishi, just eat slowly by yourself."

"Really? What a pity."

There was obvious disappointment on Rishi's face, which made Xia Zhi feel as if he had done something heinous and regretted rejecting the other party's invitation.But it would be too shameless to accept it, so just be patient for a while.

"Rishi, you have a cold and you still open the window. Isn't it cold?"

"It's good to open the windows to get some fresh air, and it's not too cold now, so it'll be fine."

Rise picked up the lunch box again and started eating.

"But senior, it's better to go back earlier today. It won't be good if you catch a cold."

"It's okay, I'm used to catching a cold."

"Isn't this something worth showing off?" Rise complained: "Senior is indeed very strange."

"Speaking of which, Rise, is there a girl named Itsuka Yuan in your class?"

"Student Wuhe? You know. She's sitting next to me, a very cute girl. Does senior like her?"

Xia Zhi almost didn't shed tears.As a result, from beginning to end, no matter who it is, everyone is moving towards an unhealthy student career.

"That's not true. What does Lishi think of her?"

"Itsuka-san is a very good girl. No matter who she is, she has a good relationship with her, unlike me."

"So, if you could be friends with her, would you be willing?"

"Eh?" Rise stopped eating lunch.

"With me?"

Xia Zhi nodded.

"I know Wuhe, because we come to school early every morning, and we became friends after saying hello. I think she is very nice, Rise, do you want to be friends with her? I can introduce her to you. "

Originally, the reason why Amamiya Rise had no friends was not because there was anything objectionable about her. On the contrary, after getting along with her for a while, you can understand that she is a gentler person than most people, but this gentleness is also became a burden to her.Perhaps because she was overprotected, Rise was not good at getting close to others. If she hadn't intervened forcefully, there would have been very few opportunities to become friends with her.

It was just a coincidence that I was able to meet her and become what I am now.

If you understand this, you will find the most fundamental thing to find friends for her.

Rise is a good child, so there’s nothing to worry about. Then as long as she introduces other children Rise likes to, it’s probably not that difficult to become friends with her.Then the most difficult part is to be an intermediary by yourself. If you open a channel that allows Li Shi to communicate with others, then the problem will naturally be solved.

Although this is a bit tough, it also has corresponding benefits.If the two people are not compatible, then whether it is for Rishi or Wuhe, the relationship between them will end with Xia Zhi himself. In terms of the result, it will not become bad, it will just make an uncertain person The candidate has become confirmed.

This is the method that Xia Zhi found after talking to Wuhe Yuan for a while.

"But, Itsuka-san...will you want to talk to me?" Rise looked a little troubled: "Isuka-san also wanted to come over and talk to me before, but I don't know what to do, so...such words have been rejected. Are you disgusted?"

"Don't worry, I will explain it well." And judging from Wuhe's previous words, the other party does not seem to hate Rise, which is already a very good state.

There are always people who are not good at sociability in this world. If you leave them alone, they probably won’t have any interactions with anyone other than family members in this life. This is too pitiful.Not being good at socializing doesn't mean not wanting to socialize. Doesn't even a dead house have friends who only exist on the Internet?Human beings are the most typical gregarious creatures, and social interaction is something that everyone will pursue.The biggest difference is whether you want a few close friends or friends all over the world.

"This, this...can you let me think about it?"

"Probably not. If I ask you to think about it, Rishi, I might be perfunctory by you, so this matter has been decided like this. Just accept it as if you were bullied by your senior!"

"Ugh..." Rishi looked at Xia Zhi with a weak expression: "Senior is bullying people."

Xia Zhi almost lost control.Not wanting to have a girlfriend doesn't mean you don't have desire, they don't mean the same thing.

He took a deep breath and calmed down a little.

"Anyway, this matter has been decided. I will tell you when I have figured out what to do."

"So you haven't thought about it yet?" Rishi looked relieved.

Really, if you have such an idea, you will never succeed no matter what you do.

"Rise, you want friends, right?"

Xia Zhi asked seriously.

Because of a slight change in anger, Li Shi also noticed Xia Zhi's tone, and his expression gradually became serious.

He nodded equally seriously: "I want it!"

Xia Zhi quietly held down his hand that was about to move.

"Want friends!"

"That's right. If you want friends, you must have such thoughts and awareness."

"But so shy..."

As if shouting some shameful line, Rise glanced to the other side.Although Xia Zhi also felt a little ashamed of his serious look just now, he couldn't show it at this time.Just because I am a senior, even if I feel ashamed, I must not show it. This is the persistence of being an elder.

"Ah, it's been so long, I have to finish lunch quickly."

Suddenly realizing that her lunch had not yet been finished, Rise started eating again, as if trying to avoid her own shyness.Xia Zhize walked to the back half of the classroom and randomly pulled out a chair. Fortunately, there was no dust.

He sat down in the back and waited for Rishi to finish eating.Xia Zhi has not forgotten the purpose of coming here, and there is still plenty of time, so there is nothing wrong with taking a little rest.

"Huh, I finally finished eating. Mom always cooks so much, what if I get fat?"

"I think you can get a little fatter. If you are so thin, what if you are blown away by the wind?"

Rishi is not very big, not tall, and does not look fat. In Japan, a place where earthquakes, tsunamis, and typhoons are commonplace, Xia Zhi is a little worried that she will be blown away by the wind one day. .

"No way! Senior is evil! I want to go back."

"I'm just telling the truth... Rishi, please go back first. I'll rest for a while before going back. The classmates in the classroom are discussing the school festival. I don't want to go back yet. It's too noisy."

"Really... It seems so. Our class is about to start preparing for the school festival, but are we still deciding what to do?"

"...At least take part in these things. It's a rare large-scale event."

"I'm not very interested in these... Then I'll go back first, and I have to go to the infirmary to ask the teacher again."

"Well, take care of yourself."

"Goodbye, senior."

In this way, Xia Zhi was the only one left in the music classroom.Xia Zhi walked to the place where Rise was sitting just now. It was exactly as Rise said. Even if the window is open, you will not feel cold. On the contrary, the breeze blowing will make the air fresh, although the noisy sounds elsewhere will pass through. The open window reaches inside, but it still makes people feel very peaceful.

After calming down a little and getting mentally prepared, Xia Zhi took out his phone.Because the communication method of the Shiraishi family given by Ryoko Yamamoto had been recorded in the mobile phone in advance, Xia Zhi found them directly in the address book.

First...Xia Zhi took a deep breath and dialed the mobile phone number of Lihua's father, Hideo Shiraishi.Different from the ordinary beeping sound on the phone, Xia Zhi's heart was beating rapidly, and there was a tendency to speed up... This was really not a level that could be calmed down by taking deep breaths.

The phone trial didn't last long before it was connected. There was no sound from the other party. Also, although I knew who the other party was, there was probably just an unknown call on the other party's phone.

Then, let's speak first.

"Hello, are you Mr. Shiraishi, the hero of Shiraishi?"

"Yes, it's me." A somewhat majestic voice came over.

"I'm sorry, please allow me to introduce myself first. My name is Xia Zhi. I am an international student from China and a classmate of your daughter."

"It was you..."

Although I don’t know why the other party has such a meaningful tone, the call must continue.

"Do you have time? I would like to discuss some issues with you."

Taking a deep breath for the second time, Xia Zhi relaxed a little.

"Discuss things about your daughter, my classmate, Shiraishi Rika."

"Oh? Did something happen to Lihua at school?"

"That's not the case. Shiraishi-san is doing well in school and nothing happened."

"That's it...it seems like I won't be able to finish it in just a short while. So, let me take a look...do you have anything to do between 03:30 and five o'clock tomorrow afternoon?"

Although I have a job, I can only take leave at this time.

"No."

"Then you can come over with Lihua after school in the afternoon."

"...It's a little inconvenient."

"... Then come here by yourself. Since you already know the phone number, you should also know the address, right?"

"terribly sorry."

"No need to apologize. Although I still don't know what you and the little girl from the Yamamoto family want to do, but with the relationship between her and Lihua, she should not do anything to make Lihua sad. So, tomorrow afternoon at 03:30 I'll wait for you at home."

"Thank you very much. Then I won't disturb your work. I wish you good luck in your work."

After getting the other party's response, Xia Zhi hung up the phone.To be honest, the short conversation just now was almost as much as I had spoken respectfully in half a year.

Next, I have to make a call to Lihua’s mother.

Although unlike Lihua's father, Lihua's mother was very interested in her passing away, but she had to admit that Shiraishi Lihua did have a very good family, both in terms of family ties and career.

Although I have it myself.
