Chiba Salted Fish Legend

Chapter 526: Push yourself to a dead end
Natsuki stayed until five o'clock, then at the reminder of the store manager, he quickly cooked a meal for Tachibana Aya and left the store in a hurry, heading home.The sky was a little gloomy, but it hadn't rained yet, and the umbrella was still in the apartment, so it didn't matter.

Because the weather was gloomy, even the wind was cooler. However, it should be considered relatively cold for Xia Zhi now.Seizing the moment and running towards the apartment, Xia Zhi quickly ran to the door, touched his pocket, and was about to take out the key and open the door...

Ok?
I touched my left pocket and found nothing.I touched the right pocket again, still nothing?Where are my keys?
Your phone isn't there either?
Xia Zhi thought about what happened today. Generally speaking, he would not forget such an important thing, unless something unexpected happened, such as... being scared by Xiao Xi who put on a spider suit. One jump, something like being overheard repeatedly by Tachibana Aya.

Xia Zhi held the door, lowered his head, and his face turned dark.

When I was changing clothes, Tachibana Aya messed me up like this. I didn't take my keys, mobile phone, wallet or anything else. As a result, I walked all the way without using my phone or buying anything, so I didn't realize it.

Now what?Spend another 10 minutes going back?It's been half an hour since the store manager came back and he still has food to eat.Even if he could eat, how could Xia Zhi do such a cruel thing as starving Xiaoyao.Unfortunately, I didn’t bring my mobile phone with me, so I couldn’t let Tachibana Aya send it to me.Simply.

Xia Zhi tried pressing the doorbell to see if Mengmeng was sleeping now.

ding~dong~
Waited for a while, nothing happened.Xia Zhi pressed it again.

ding~dong~
Still no response.

Ding~dong~ding~dong~ding~dong~dingdingdingdingdingding~dong~
Xia Zhi was desperate.The store manager or something, just let him be hungry today. Xia Zhi turned around and was about to run back to the store to get the keys and mobile phone, but he heard a shout after just two steps.

"Who, still let people sleep?"

Although it was separated by the door, and the voice was full of sleepiness, Xia Zhi could hear it with just one ear in such a quiet environment.He immediately returned to the door overjoyed.

"It's me. I forgot my key. Please open the door for me."

"This method of fraud was discontinued a few years ago. Get out of here or I will call the police."

Xia Zhi was so excited that he forgot to reveal his identity.

"Mengmeng, I am Xia Zhi, I am your brother."

"That's as annoying as me being your dad."

Xia Zhi heard a muttering, then heard the sound of anti-riot chains, and soon the door was opened.Xia Meng, wearing pajamas, looking awake and still yawning, appeared in front of Xia Zhi.

"Where's your key?"

"I forgot it in the store when I was changing clothes. The keys, mobile phone, wallet, etc. are all still in the school uniform." Xia Zhi had a bitter look on his face, having a premonition that he might be scolded by Xia Meng.

"This is really rare." Xia Meng yawned and then turned around and walked in: "You are lucky this time. I was woken up by you. Next time I fall asleep in the bedroom, you can You won’t have such good luck. You have to be prepared no matter what.”

"I know." Xia Zhi responded. Maybe Xia Meng has had better luck in the past two days. This level is not painful for Xia Zhi.

Xia Zhi entered the house and closed the door, then walked into the kitchen. He had to make dinner quickly.Xia Zhi returned to the sofa again, but did not lie down anymore. Instead, he sat on the sofa with Ghost in his arms, his head lowered, whether he was playing with his mobile phone or reading a book.

After Xia Zhi cooked the rice, he started to prepare the dishes. Just after washing the vegetables and pouring the oil into the pot, the sound of dripping was heard before the fire was even turned on.

"It seems like it's raining again." Xia Meng, who was sitting on the sofa, said, "Did you not even bring an umbrella back?"

"Umbrella? As for the umbrella... huh? It seems that I put it in my school bag?"

Xia Zhi frowned, remembering what happened today when he took Yamamoto Ryoko's umbrella to exchange for his own, and then put the umbrella back into his schoolbag.

Xia Zhi paused while chopping vegetables, then slowly raised his head and looked at Xia Meng, who was not looking at him.

Xia Zhi began to pray that the rain would pass quickly.

"Are there any other umbrellas?"

"No...but it won't be a problem. I'll just run over later."

"This isn't something you can just run over to avoid the rain. You don't have a mobile phone or anything?"

"Did not bring……"

"Do you remember the store manager or Tachibana Aya's phone number?"

"Stored in the mobile phone..."

"Does that mean you don't remember? Then call your own mobile phone."

"The phone is on vibrate mode and is still in my schoolbag, so I can't hear it..."

"What about the chat software?"

"There is a device lock on the account..."

"..."

Xia Meng finally stopped talking, probably because she was angry with Xia Zhi.

"I have always said that there is no end to the road. It is really hard for you to push yourself into a dead end."

Xia Zhi didn't dare to accept this.

"I don't have an umbrella, what should I do now?"

"Let's run over there later, but we have to eat quickly. Don't worry too much, maybe the rain will lighten up after a while."

Then when it was time to rest after eating, the pattering of raindrops turned into a torrential rain.

Seeing the way Xia Meng looked at him, Xia Zhi wanted to slap himself.

"I can't go anymore now."

"It should be said that the umbrella is useless now." Xia Zhi corrected him.

"Will such a heavy rain still pass? 100% I will catch a cold, right?"

"I have to go there. My school uniform is still dry anyway. Just change over there. There are still two people waiting to eat."

"Two?" Xia Meng's eyes became sharp.

"The store manager has to go home for dinner! I have to go over and take over for him before he can go back. There is also Tachibana Aya who has been eating in the store. The rice is ready. Just wait for me to go over and cook something for her. ." Xia Zhi defended.

"I just said how could such a character not show up for so long? It turned out to be hidden here..." Xia Meng muttered in a low voice.

"Ah? Mengmeng, what did you just say?"

"It's nothing. Forget it, if you want to go there, it won't be okay in such a heavy rain. Bring your cold medicine and towel with you when you go there, wipe it off when you change clothes, and take the medicine quickly. Do you hear me?"

"Okay, okay, if there are towels in the store, I won't need them and bring them over."

"whatever."

Xia Zhi nodded and walked into the bedroom to look for medicine.Opening the medicine box, Xia Zhi looked at the last two cold medicines that had been packed, and felt that this should be regarded as a blessing in misfortune.
