Chiba Salted Fish Legend

Chapter 858 Tell Me Quickly
After Shiraishi Rika finished the phone call, she and Natsuki found a place to eat nearby. Although it was not a particularly famous restaurant, Shiraishi Rika was not a particularly picky person. Can get her praise... or comfort, but most of the time, although she chooses to remain silent, she will not make any comments about it. Instead, she silently studies the cooking method next to her, and then thinks about it in her brain. I thought about ways to improve.

As for Xia Zhi, he is not a child of a rich family, so he is naturally not picky about eating... Well, after eating from Shiraishi Lihua for more than a year, even if Xia Zhi's appetite has not become particularly picky, it cannot be said that he has. Very easy to satisfy.Xia Zhi always felt that something was missing while eating, and the food on the table suddenly didn't smell good.

"What's wrong with Xia Zhijun? Don't you have an appetite?" After analyzing these simple dishes, Shiraishi Lihua noticed Xia Zhi's strange expression.

"No, I'm just wondering where else I can go to hang out later. After all, it's my first date... at least it's a serious date." Xia Zhi shook his head.

Although I really wanted to praise Shiraishi Rika for being a direct disciple of a five-star chef, but it was too rude to say this in the presence of relevant people, and Xia Zhi did not say it in the end.It's just that Shiraishi Rika's powerful cooking skills became particularly obvious in the unintentional contrast, and there was nothing that could be done about it.

"The first date..." Shiraishi Lihua's eyes suddenly became sharp, and she stared at Xia Zhi closely: "Since this is the first time for such a serious date, then what is Xia Zhijun's first date? With whom?"

Xia Zhi reacted, and scolded himself in his heart.After thinking about it carefully, I found that there seemed to be a turning point in this matter: "Because when I played before, I didn't realize that it was a date. If I want to explain it in a less formal way, the first time should be with Lihua, you’re here with me.”

"Eh?"

"It's just that Liangzi is here." Xia Zhi shrugged: "Liangzi bought the tickets and then took me to the concert with you, Lihua, do you still remember?"

"Of course I remember, it's a very precious memory." After Shiraishi Lihua finished speaking, she glared at Xia Zhi lightly: "Although what Xia Zhijun said at that time made me a little sad."

"Ah hahaha... That was the first time I was invited by a girl to hang out. Considering Ryoko's thoughts at the time, it can be considered a date to some extent, right?" Xia Zhi scratched his head.As for what he said at that time, Xia Zhi didn't remember clearly.At times like this, just smile.

"Well..." Bai Shi Lihua also became a little shy, blinking her eyes: "To me, Xia Zhijun was very handsome that night."

"Thank you for the compliment." Xia Zhi continued to eat.

"However, if you go with Ryoko, it shouldn't be considered a date, right?" Shiraishi Rika added, which made Xia Zhi almost spit out the imported rice he had just put down.

Looking at Shiraishi Rika's expression that seemed to want to get to the bottom of it, Xia Zhi was also a little helpless: "Honestly, I think you can guess it, Rika. After all, Cai was quite courageous when we first met, and sometimes she would She would drag me out to play, even though it was just to let her lead the way when I went shopping, but if Ryoko didn’t hinder me, Cai would have been earlier.”

Shiraishi Rika curled her lips: "I knew it. After all, when I first met Tachibana-san, it seemed that your relationship was very good. At that time, I almost gave up because of a misunderstanding. But... it's really because I don't have enough courage. , with Tachibana-san’s ability to act, this is a matter of course. After all, this is the first time I have fallen in love with someone..."

Shiraishi Rika's voice became softer and softer, but Xia Zhi still heard her.

Although she felt a little sorry, Xia Zhi was not prepared to comfort her with words like "That was not a formal date." Even if it was just a formality, what she had done would not disappear because of it. This was something she knew well. To both of them, it was just a useless lie.Shiraishi Rika may have expected this situation a long time ago, and she is also a strong girl. Although such a thing will make her feel regretful, it should not have any other impact other than that. .

"But, even if Tachibana-san comes first, I will definitely like Natsuki-kun more than Tachibana-san." Shiraishi Rika had an expression of reluctance to admit defeat, and smiled at Natsuki: "If you compare with this, I will definitely You won’t lose.”

"...Thank you, Lihua." Xia Zhi thanked her sincerely.

The feeling of being liked from the bottom of your heart cannot be expressed in words. It is a feeling that makes people feel extremely warm and full of power. Xia Zhi feels that he will never forget it.

"This is not the answer I want to hear." Shiraishi Lihua shook her head playfully, and the originally smiling expression on her face looked a little more shy and urging.

"Of course, I also like Lihua very much." Xia Zhi also answered Shiraishi Lihua's feelings very seriously.

It's just that the effect of this sentence seems to be much better than Xia Zhi imagined. He thought it was only slightly effective, but he didn't expect it to be an outstanding effect.Shiraishi Lihua's face suddenly turned crimson, she was so cute, Xia Zhi was dumbfounded without realizing it.

And this seemed to make Bai Shi Lihua feel both ashamed and happy, she bit her lip, not wanting to show such a shy expression.

Xia Zhi looked at Shiraishi Lihua's stubborn expression and couldn't help but smile.But the shy Shiraishi Rika felt that this bad guy was laughing at her, so she puffed up her mouth and stopped: "Don't laugh."

"I think it's quite cute. You don't need to be so shy. Just be more confident in yourself." Xia Zhi couldn't suppress his smile at all, which even made Xia Zhi wonder if he was a little wretched now.

"Hmph... If that's the case, what about Tachibana-san? Does Natsuki-kun like Tachibana-san too?"

……

Xia Zhi really didn't expect that Shiraishi Lihua would bring the topic back. The smile on her face suddenly turned into a bitter smile. She scratched her head and remained silent without speaking.

Shiraishi Rika finally found a chance to resist. She crossed her hands and her face was crimson but with a mischievous smile. She was happy to see Natsuki's embarrassed expression.

"Answer me quickly."

"This……"

"It won't work if we don't show the courage we had that night."

Xia Zhi knew that Shiraishi Lihua was making things difficult for him because of shyness, but, as she said, Xia Zhi needed to bear what he said, so he was not prepared to lie.

"I like it just as much."

Xia Zhi said this with a little pressure, a slightly complicated mood and a faint smile.
