Chiba Salted Fish Legend

Chapter 4 Oh, neither can I.

Arriving in the classroom, Xia Zhi walked towards his seat.It's a pity that he couldn't sit in the second to last seat by the window exclusive to the protagonist. Instead, he sat in the second to last seat by the wall on the opposite side. Maybe this is fate.

Xia Zhi took out his textbook and previewed the lessons he was going to study today according to the schedule. Because he was the type who had nothing to do with studying after school, so he could only study while he was in school. After all, he had an exam tomorrow. You can't even read a book when you go home.

"Good morning."

Xia Zhi looked up and saw a girl with a side ponytail.Wearing a black and white school uniform with school characteristics, a white shirt with a black jacket, a short skirt with a red bottom and white edges and white knee-length socks, creating a charming and absolute realm, and the small black leather shoes are polished to a shine. She is a Very beautiful person.

"Good morning, Shiraishi-san."

Shiraishi Rika is a well-known top student in the class. Her academic performance has always been among the top three in the grade. She is the daughter of the chairman of the Shiraishi Group. She can be said to be a lady-like figure. It is said that her parents originally asked him to She went to Yuhua High School, but she thought it was too far there, so she came to this ordinary high school.She is beautiful, has a good family background, is very friendly, and has a good relationship with all the girls in the class. Many boys also admire her.But this does not include Xia Zhi.

If you think about it carefully, a female high school student who is beautiful, has good academic performance, is rich, and has a good personality will be favored by a female high school student who is average-looking, average-study, not poor financially, and not very talkative. Is it a male high school student?If you think about it, you will find that you have no chance at all. Even if there is, the chance is one in ten thousand that people will not even think of giving it a try, so Xia Zhiquan, right, she, no, feels, interest!

"Is there a problem?"

"It's okay, I just saw you came so early and wanted to say hello."

Shiraishi Lihua's face was a little stiff.

"Really? Aren't you quite early?" Xia Zhi tried his best to end this conversation.

"Occasionally."

"Well, what, is there anything else?" Xia Zhi shook the textbook in his hand.

"...No more. Sorry to bother you."

Bai Shi Lihua's face became more and more embarrassed.

"Okay. Goodbye Shiraishi-san."

After expertly ending a meaningless polite conversation, Xia Zhi turned his attention back to the textbook.

Shiraishi Rika walked to the middle of the classroom, took her seat, and sorted out her books. She came early today due to special reasons, and now she and Xia Zhi were the only two people in the classroom.

Shiraishi Rika pretended to organize things and secretly observed Xia Zhi.

Shiraishi Rika was not in this class originally. She was assigned here during the rescheduling at the end of the semester. Except for one or two girls she was close to, this class was basically filled with people she was not very familiar with. As a child from a wealthy family, at this time It is necessary to show your own charm and build a good relationship with classmates.

That's what she thought, and that's what she did.In the first week, things went smoothly until she met this student from China, Xia Zhi.

This man looks very ordinary. The biggest impression his classmates have on him is that he always sits in his seat and reads a book. He spends more time talking to boys. The girl he talks to the most is a girl who is more interested in China. , is his good friend.But I can’t say how good it is.

He never does anything beyond what is necessary. He just studies in school and disappears as soon as school is over. For a school where international students are not common, his presence is not very good.

But Rika Shiraishi must also establish a good relationship with Chinese students, because she is Rika Shiraishi, the pursuit of perfection.Thus, her journey of hitting a wall began.

The first time we talked was during the class break. At that time, she didn't know Xia Zhi very well. She introduced herself one by one. When she was talking to the girls, most of the girls crowded over , talking and laughing, when she was talking to boys, everyone was so nervous that they seemed to be speechless. This was the most common and normal situation she saw.When she greeted Xia Zhi.

"Oh, hello. I'm Xia Zhi, an international student from China."

He said this without any fluctuation in his heart, and there was no sense of continuing the conversation.

Shiraishi Lihua was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said hello to the boy behind Xia Zhi.This boy, like the boys before Xia Zhi, looked speechless when he saw a beautiful girl.Shiraishi Rika looked at the boy, and then at Xia Zhi, who was flipping through the textbook in front of him, feeling very confused.

But the perfect Shiraishi Rika doesn't show these on her face.She greeted the whole class as if doing a process, and established a good relationship with everyone except Xia Zhi. When the class bell rang, she sat in her seat and glanced at Xia Zhi who was listening carefully. , thoughtfully.

At noon, during lunch, she was surrounded by girls, and they all shared a table to eat.She looked in the direction of Xia Zhi. Xia Zhi was chewing bread and reading a book. He swallowed the bread absently and focused on the textbook, looking like he was studying seriously.

So, Shiraishi Rika found a second opportunity to talk.During the class break, she deliberately asked the students next to her a difficult question, but they didn't answer it, so Bai Shilihua walked towards Xia Zhi, who seemed to have good academic performance, as a matter of course.

"Um, classmate Xia Zhi, are you free?"

"Huh? Is there something wrong?"

Xia Zhi turned his head to look at Baishi Lihua next to him, he had no impression of this strange person.

"Well, this question is a little difficult..."

Xia Zhi glanced at Shiraishi Reika and said, "Oh, I can't do it either." Under the "planning" look of Shiraishi Reika, she said, "Maybe I can tell you if I ask the squad leader." She’ll know” and then turned back to her book.

When Shiraishi Rika came to her senses, the squad leader had already explained half of it to her.

Something is wrong!This is wrong!It shouldn't be like this!

Shiraishi Rika roared in her heart and went deep into thought.

Am I unattractive?

She showed a charming smile to the boy passing by, and the boy bumped into the desk with a silly smile on his face.

"Ah, it hurts, it hurts...hehehehe..."

It seems like it's not my problem?It's not my problem, it's his problem!
There's nothing wrong with talking to pretty girls.Shiraishi Lihua turned around and saw that Xia Zhizheng was talking to a boy and what they were talking about.

"Xia Zhi! I'm lovelorn!"

"Isn't this impossible? You don't even have a girlfriend. Don't bother me with reading. If you fail the exam, I will beat you."

"Miss Aoyama, you're going to marry that bastard Kanda, blah blah blah."

"What! Damn Kanda! He actually stole my wife!"

Xia Zhi threw the book away and was shaking with anger.

"Who is Kanda? Does he have any famous works? Miss Aoyama's voice is a treasure for all mankind. How dare he! Damn it!"

At this point, Shiraishi Lihua also knew what they were talking about.The wedding ceremony of voice actress Aiko Aoyama and actor Kanda Kai was just yesterday, and it was reported on TV during breakfast this morning.

Judging from his performance, he doesn’t look GAY either!Then why is he ignoring me?

Shiraishi Rika is caught in the whirlpool of contradictions.

So far, Shiraishi Rika has spoken to Natsuki seventeen times in total, oh no, it was eighteen times including just now. The methods include asking questions, saying hello, artificial encounters, lunches, etc., but all ended in failure.

Shiraishi Rika found that it was not possible to rely on herself, so she decided to seek help from others.A true leader, in addition to his own abilities, must also be good at borrowing the abilities of others.

"Good morning, Xia Zhi."

The person who walked in was a girl from the class named Yamamoto Ryoko. She was the girl in the class who had a good relationship with Natsuki, and she also had a good relationship with Shiraishi Rika.

She walked to Xia Zhi first.

"Xia Zhijun, thank you. Chinese online novels are really interesting."

"It's not bad. Although there are only about [-] words in one update, there are updates every day, so it's actually about the same."

"Next time, if you have any good novels, please introduce them to me."

After saying that, she strode towards Shiraishi Reika.

"Good morning, Lihua."

"Good morning, Ryoko. Well, you and Xia Zhijun have a really good relationship."

Shiraishi Lihua decided to make insinuations and ask for directions.

"Oh, Xia Zhijun, it's actually not bad. Chinese online novels are really interesting."

"Internet novel?"

Shiraishi Lihua looked confused.

"Oh, unlike us here, the novels in China seem to be serialized on the Internet and updated every day. It's really interesting."

"Is that right?"

"Next time, please introduce other good novels to Xia Zhijun."

Yamamoto Ryoko said to herself.

"I really envy you can talk to him so much." Why can't I?Shiraishi Lihua thought so.

"Hey." Ryoko Yamamoto was very surprised, and leaned close to Shiraishi Lihua's ear, "Is Lihua interested in Xia Zhijun? What a surprise. I didn't see Lihua interested in anyone last semester, even though we are in different classes. .”

"Huh? Ah... I'm a little concerned because I can't talk much."

"Then do you want me to tell you something about him? I was in the same class with him last semester. There were a lot of interesting things."

Although she didn't know why Ryoko had a strange expression, Shiraishi Rika wanted to know things that might help her and Natsuki successfully strike up a conversation.

"Eh, can you?"

"Of course. But it's a bit surprising, that's the type Lihua likes."

"Ah?" Shiraishi Rika was stunned for a moment, her face suddenly turned red, and she waved her hands repeatedly, "No, no, no, it's not what you think. I just want to have a good relationship! Just like other classmates!"

"Yes, yes, I understand, don't worry."

Yamamoto Ryoko gave Shiraishi Rika a "Don't worry" look, but Shiraishi Rika couldn't rest assured at all.

But Xia Zhijun is not hard to talk to, right?Wouldn't it be better to just talk to him normally?Of course, Yamamoto Ryoko didn't say this. She instinctively felt that things would be more interesting in this way.
