Chiba Salted Fish Legend

Chapter 314

When Xia Zhi left, he held a few cookies in his hand as an extra bonus, and left with a "good-natured" laughter. Apparently, this "good-natured" laughter made the thin-skinned Shiraishi Lika happy. Face flushed, Natsuki slipped out of the classroom before Ryoko Yamamoto could make another move.

Xia Zhi felt that the speed at which he slipped out of the classroom exceeded the limit again.

The time now is close to 04:30 in the afternoon.If I go back now, I can start buying some things to cook for Tachibana Aya. After she finishes eating, she can clean up a little and go to the store manager's house for dinner.The time seemed to be similar, but she probably ate this meal a little early.

Anyway, she would probably find some snacks or something to eat by herself at night, as long as she wasn't hungry.Xia Zhi is not too worried about this aspect.All he needs to consider is the food he needs to cook. Originally, three dishes and one soup for two people were actually quite good, but now she is the only one eating, and she probably can't finish all the food, so this time Don’t do so much anymore.

Cooking some rice, one meat and one vegetable should be enough.She doesn't like soup very much, so she doesn't need to prepare it now. When she buys ingredients later, she can just buy her juice or something.If you think about it this way, Tachibana Aya is actually really easy to kill.

Food, food, food…

Xia Zhi thought about it and decided that it would be better to go to a more formal supermarket to buy ingredients.

Strictly speaking, the ingredients sold in convenience stores are not easy to say, or it is a strange thing to sell ingredients in convenience stores, but Xia Zhi didn't pay special attention to it, just like some tobacco shops also sell them. The same goes for drinks, Xia Zhi just thinks of it as a part-time job in a convenience store. Anyway, the prices are clearly marked, and there are no lack of safety signs, so he usually just buys them if he wants to be lazy.

But this thing is strange...even in Japan.The places where those gods fighting for half-priced bento boxes fight are not convenience stores but supermarkets. Convenience stores only sell ready-made bento boxes, rice balls and the like. There may be some selling ingredients, but definitely not many.Probably because there is no supermarket nearby, in order to seize the opportunity, the convenience store manager suddenly came up with a whim...

All in all, Xia Zhi decided to take a long detour, go to a nearby supermarket, and check out the map after a long time.Xia Zhi successfully found a decent-looking supermarket after walking in the opposite direction of the apartment for five or six minutes. He went in and shopped around and bought everything he wanted to buy.Sure enough, supermarkets are much better than convenience stores in terms of scale, variety and quantity of goods.

But the supermarket and shopping mall that Xia Zhi knew were far away from the apartment where he lived, so this map was basically meaningless.Carrying a bag of things, Xia Zhi walked towards the apartment.

It took me some time to walk from the supermarket to the apartment. The time was already close to five o'clock in the afternoon, and everything was as planned.Cook the rice first, and then start cooking. Because there are not many things to do, Xia Zhi handles the ingredients very leisurely.

It doesn't take much time to cook a meal for only one person, Xia Zhi picked up his mobile phone to make a call to Li Huacai when he finished processing the ingredients.Call her now and ask her to come over, and the meal will be almost ready when she arrives.

After pressing the dial button and placing the phone against his ear, a beeping sound came from the phone. It continued to ring after a few seconds. It wasted a full minute of Xia Zhi's time and the call was not connected.

She is not there?Why did you go?
Xia Zhi tried to make another call, but still didn't get through.

This is not normal.

In the past six months, although I haven't called Tachibana Aya often because the other party usually calls me, I have never been unable to get through when I call the other party.For a person like Aya Tachibana, it is impossible to forget her mobile phone. Whenever she goes out, she must bring her mobile phone with her, otherwise she may die of boredom.

Her mobile phone can make calls, but she herself is not connected, which is abnormal.

Xia Zhi thought of someone's behavior this morning and became slightly worried.They are also people who live alone, so they naturally understand the crises that living alone requires. Natsuki is thinking about the possibility of Tachibana Aya falling due to illness.Even though she usually looks like a psychopath, as long as she is still a human being, she will be entangled with illness, not to mention that her mental condition today does not seem to be very good.

Xia Zhi put the phone on the kitchen counter and continued cooking.If she can call back, everything will be fine. If she doesn't call back... Xia Zhi feels that she has to go and take a look.You still have some feelings for a pet after being together for a long time, let alone a real person who has been playing with it for so long.

Things did not develop in the direction of everything going well. Until Xia Zhi finished all the meals, his phone did not light up.Looks like I need to go take a look, he's such a troublesome guy.

But we can't just leave the food here...can we take it over?How to bring it is also a question.

Although there is a lunch box, there is only one Xia Zhi in a poor family, and they are not from a wealthy family. They use white today and blue tomorrow.But the next three days are the school festival. If you want to eat, you can buy food at school, or you can be more cheeky and ask Lihua directly for some humanitarian aid. It would be better to say that the lunch box is here There is not much meaning in these three days.

Forget it, just use this, no big deal...

Xia Zhi took out his lunch box and started to put food in it, and regretted that he had put a dish on the plate in advance, and there was an extra tableware to wash for no reason.Since there was only enough food for one person, Xia Zhi took his usual portion, which was just enough to fit in, and the lunch box was full.

Put the dishes and other things into the sink and put some water to soak them. Don't wash them now. Wait until you come back after dinner in the evening.Xia Zhi took her mobile phone and lunch box and walked out.Walking towards Tachibana Aya's house.

Having walked the road countless times, Xia Zhi was so familiar that she couldn't be more familiar with it. As he walked, he counted and kept the time accurately within minutes. He was so skilled that he felt that there was something wrong with this world. Xia Zhi I saw the high-end apartment where Tachibana Aya was staying.Fortunately, Tachibana Aya's room is at the front of the apartment. It's winter now, and it's already getting dark even before six o'clock. Natsuki can see the bright light in Tachibana Aya's room.

It seems that he should be at home.Xia Zhi hoped that she had woken up.

Xia Zhi walked downstairs to the apartment. Fortunately, he remembered Tachibana Aya's room number out of resentment, otherwise Xia Zhi wouldn't have known how to let Tachibana Aya let him go.

After making a call to Tachibana Aya's room, Xia Zhi waited. After about ten seconds, the call was connected: "Hello?"

Her voice was full of doubts.

"It's me, open the door."

"...Does anyone still use such an old-fashioned fraud method? Please use a smarter method. Now even the elderly in their 60s and [-]s will not be deceived by such low-level deceptions."

"How come you are an old man at the age of five or sixty? Please apologize to the five and sixty-year-old people all over the world. Besides, if you don't open the door for me, your dinner today will be gone."

"...Xia Zhi? Why are you here?"

"Nonsense, if you don't answer the phone, then I'll be the only one here?"

"Wait a minute."

Tachibana Aya's voice disappeared, but the call was not hung up, probably to check the phone.After waiting for a short while, Xia Zhi found that his cell phone was ringing. He picked it up and saw that the caller was... Tachibana Aya.The corners of his eyes twitched and he answered the phone.

"Is there something wrong with you? If there is anything wrong, just say no there just now, why call me."

"Hey, hey, I just want to make sure. Living alone always brings worries of one kind or another. If it's a fraud or a robber who breaks into a house, wouldn't I be in danger?"

"Stop talking nonsense and let me go up."

Xia Zhi hung up the two calls. After waiting for a few seconds, the electronic lock was opened. Xia Zhi opened the door and walked in.Head towards the elevator.As for taking the stairs, Xia Zhi didn't have that much physical strength and didn't want to walk.

Natsuki took the elevator to the floor where Tachibana Aya's house was located, and pressed the doorbell according to the location of her home in memory.Tachibana Aya's voice came through the thick door: "Wait, wait a minute!"

Not knowing what she wanted to do, Xia Zhi waited outside the door. About a minute later, the steaming Tachibana Aya opened the entrance door.Well, it's steaming hot.

She was wearing light clothes, her hair was wet, and she was steaming. She probably just took a shower.

"I was taking a shower just now. I didn't expect you to come over." She made way to let Xia Zhi go in.

Were you taking a shower just now?

"You...were you not...when you answered the phone just now..."

"Well, it's basically what you thought. Are you excited?" She gently pulled back the hair that was hanging in front of her forehead with her hands. This was a very standard sultry gesture, but Xia Zhi didn't do it at all now. I'm thinking that way.

Once again, she was stunned by this crazy ultimate operation.

"The temperature is not high now, but you are still acting like this. What should you do if you get sick?"

"..."

Tachibana Aya felt that she had a lot of things to say, but she couldn't say anything.She didn't know how to talk about it, and racked her brains thinking: "Just be a human being."

???

"Can't you focus on something normal in this situation?"

"Isn't this normal? You have to catch a cold, right?" Xia Zhi glared at her and pointed at the steaming bathroom: "Go, blow dry your hair and put on more clothes. The temperature of the air conditioner is set so high, and the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor is so big, you can’t even go out.”

Looking past Tachibana Aya, Natsuki placed the lunch box on the table, found the remote control of the air conditioner on the bedside table, and lowered the temperature of the air conditioner by four degrees. By the way, he also saw Konashi messily thrown on the bed. Xia Zhi felt that he had no obsessive-compulsive disorder when he saw the clothes earlier, but he was about to be forced out by Tachibana Aya.

However, Natsuki wasn't bold enough to help her pack her clothes yet. She could only pack these things after Tachibana Aya dried her hair.The laptop was placed on the bed. Although the screen was turned off, the power was not turned off. It was probably being used throughout the afternoon.

Don't put your laptop directly on the bed when you are using it!The cooling vents are blocked.

And the pile of books neatly stacked together in a corner of this space that I hadn't seen for a long time has become very scattered. Maybe someone didn't rearrange them when they found the information they wanted. Organize good habits.Xia Zhi looked at the pile of books, took a deep breath, and turned to look at Tachibana Aya, who was still standing there.Feeling Xia Zhi's gaze, Tachibana Aya jumped into the bathroom before Xia Zhi could speak. A short while later, the sound of the hair dryer started ringing.

Xia Zhi had nothing to do with her, and felt uncomfortable seeing these things put together in a mess, so he started to tidy them up.There were too many types of books, and Xia Zhi couldn't see any internal connection, so he stacked books that looked like one type and put them back for her.Really uncomfortable, Xia Zhi felt that he should force her to buy a bookshelf.

Because there was no need to think about how to sort the books, Xia Zhi finished them quickly.Then I saw the empty area that should be regarded as the kitchen. The refrigerator may be relatively neat because it is used frequently, but the area related to the kitchen next to it was all in a mess. It looked like it was worth a lot of money. figure.I glanced somewhere again, and I didn't know when the cabinet originally used to store the figurines had been filled to the brim.

Xia Zhi felt like vomiting blood.

After blow-drying her hair, Tachibana Aya walked out of the bathroom and stood in the corner to peek. She was noticed by Xia Zhi in an instant.

"Go find some clothes and put them on, and then tidy up the clothes on your bed. Don't put the computer directly on the bed. And those figurines of yours, when did you buy so many of them again?"

"During the Chinese New Year, I bought it as soon as I was happy..."

"Don't you think about whether there is a place in your home for you to put these figures? If you buy another one before you find a place to put it, you will be dead."

"Protest! I think buying figures is my freedom!"

"Protests are useless. Go find something to wear."

"...Bad guys!"

Tachibana Aya muttered and went to go to the closet to look through clothes. Natsuki rearranged the figures that Tachibana Aya had placed in a mess. Although it was a bit crowded, all the figures were placed on the cabinet for the time being.Xia Zhi then started to clean the kitchen. The place was used so infrequently that it even had a thin layer of dust.

Tachibana Aya is not the type to live well alone.
