Chiba Salted Fish Legend

Chapter 971 I’m not a fool (16)

After saying hello to Mengmeng who was sitting in the living room reading a book, Xia Zhi went downstairs with Aya Tachibana.

"By the way, what would be a better gift for someone older than you?" Natsuki asked Tachibana Aya who was standing next to her.

Hearing Xia Zhi asking her a question, she opened her eyes slightly: "How do I know? I haven't given any gifts. However, giving gifts is actually the same thing, right? Either give the other person something they like, or Being able to express your feelings is actually the true meaning of giving a gift, right?”

"Then I have nothing to offer. I can't give each of Lihua's parents a mobile phone pendant, right?" Xia Zhi rolled his eyes and refused to adopt Tachibana Aya's unconstructive answer.

"If you give me a kiss, I will be very happy. If you give me an engagement ring, I will dare to rape you." Tachibana Aya added, Xia Zhi was already used to her strange words, okay Selective ignorance.

Xia Zhi held his chin and started thinking. Until he walked out of the elevator and sat in Tachibana Aya's car, Xia Zhi didn't think of any good ideas.

"Should I take you to the department store first or should I go back and park the car first and then we walk there?" Tachibana Aya asked.

Xia Zhi's thoughts were interrupted for a moment: "Well... you should go back and bring Xiao Xi over here first, and bring his plate and food. I made dinner at home, so you can just eat it in the evening." I'll take care of the tableware and other things when I get back."

"Didn't you say you were going to do it at my house?" Tachibana Aya asked doubtfully.When Xia Zhi heard this, his heart suddenly trembled, but he soon calmed down.

"I thought about it carefully. If I go to your house to cook it, no one will clean up the dishes for you. If you wash it, I think there will be no dishes left. This is okay, but it may be. If you cut your hand, I think it’s better to do it at my house and just eat it.”

"Well..." Tachibana Aya looked at Natsuki dissatisfied: "Why do you make it sound like I only know how to eat?"

"The reality is not much different, right?" Xia Zhi shook his head: "That's it. Let's go to your house first."

After Tachibana Aya drove back to the apartment downstairs, she got out of the car and went upstairs. Xia Zhi came back to her senses and looked at the scenery on both sides of the driveway, and then saw a car slowly approaching from the front, and then from here The other side of the car went around.Xia Zhi just didn't pay attention because he was thinking about the gift, but now he noticed it.This guy is back on track again.

He couldn't help stretching his hand to his forehead and sighed.

Tachibana Aya went up very quickly and came down very quickly. When she walked back to the car, she handed Xiaoxi in her arms through the window on Xia Zhi's side and placed it in Xia Zhi's arms. inside.Then he threw the small bag of cat food on the plate in his other hand to Xia Zhi: "Hold it for me first."

Xiao Xi meowed a few times in Xia Zhi's arms, then arched a few times, and found a comfortable position to lie down.Xiao Xi also seemed to feel very comfortable, wagging her tail casually and then continued to enjoy it.Tachibana Aya returned to the driver's seat and drove the car, and the two of them and the cat drove towards the department store.

Xia Zhi thought about Tachibana's retrograde motion again: "Why are you retrograde again? I told you this is not a good habit."

"There is no distinction between left and right here, just get through it. Don't worry about these little things." Tachibana Aya didn't care.

This habit needs to be corrected before she suffers.

After arriving at the department store, Xia Zhi left Li Huacai to drive around in the car, while he started to stroll around in the department store.Because she really didn't know what to buy, and she felt that every time she looked at something, she would feel that Shiraishi Lihua's house didn't lack this item, which made Xia Zhi very distressed.In the end, I really didn’t see anything I needed, so I bought some barley tea. Even Xia Zhi, who doesn’t drink much tea, thought the barley tea smelled delicious. It should be more useful as a gift, right?
If I had known before I came here, I should have asked Shiraishi Reika what her parents liked... No, Shiraishi Reika would have saved her money, so she could have gone empty-handed.Basically, this is what the children of the host family would say in the past, but this gift cannot be ignored, it is considered etiquette.

I decided on barley tea.

Xia Zhi walked out of the department store with this bag of barley tea, which was not too much but a little expensive, but there was no sign of Tachibana Aya around.It must have been a coincidence that I was able to see her last time. I don't know how long it will take this time.Natsuki wanted to call Aya Tachibana and ask for her location, but he felt his empty pocket with a grimace.

When can I get the mobile phone?
After waiting for a long time, Xia Zhi didn't see Tachibana Aya's car. She was wondering if her car was taken away by the traffic police because she was driving the wrong way, but suddenly she heard someone calling her.

"Isn't this Xia Zhi? What are you doing here?" Xia Zhi turned around and saw the store manager who was leisurely carrying a plastic bag of something unknown while still eating what seemed to be snapper. Burn something like this.

"I also want to ask you what you are doing here? Aren't you open at noon today? Now you only make some business on Saturdays every week and you are still lazy here." Fish store manager.

The store manager's expression became extremely strange: "Am I the store manager or are you the store manager? It's true. Even if I want to open a business, I have to have something to sell. I'm just buying goods, do you understand?"

The store manager shook the plastic bag in his hand, and Xia Zhi looked at him suspiciously: "Is that so?"

"Of course it is." The store manager's expression was very normal, without any change.

Xia Zhi always felt that there was something else going on inside the plastic bag, but he had to save some face for the store manager, right?

"So what are you doing here?"

"I'm waiting for Cai. She drove here and went to who knows where." Xia Zhi shrugged.

"Can't you give her a call?"

"My phone is broken and the new one hasn't arrived yet. I'm not a fool."

"Hey, you said you're not a fool." The store manager pointed to the other side, and Xia Zhi looked in the direction he pointed.Over there is...

Public telephone booth.

Xia Zhi looked embarrassed, but he defended himself to save face: "I don't have any change."

The store manager pointed to the department store behind him, and Xia Zhi knew what he meant.

If you don’t have money, just go to the department store and get change.

Xia Zhi finally became angry and said, "Show me what you bought!"

The store manager put the plastic bag behind him and said, "You are so angry. I won't tell you anymore. You can figure it out yourself."

Ready to slip away.

"You're already here. Please give me a call by the way!"
